Chapter 134 Liaodong Strategy

Liao Xingzong continued: "I understand that reforms cannot be accomplished overnight. If we have no successors, all the achievements in the future will be wasted! Come, Jiuer, come to my uncle."

Yelu Niegulu ran to Liaoxingzong a few steps and knelt on one knee.

Liao Xingzong smiled slightly: "I didn't help you this time, you won't blame me in your heart, right?"

Yelu Niegulu shook his head: "Uncle, my nephew knows that things are not easy to handle. Please rest assured. My nephew will wait for the next opportunity, which will definitely make our Liao Kingdom successful in reform and become prosperous and strong."

Liao Xingzong was very satisfied with the answer: "Okay! He knew the difficulties but did not retreat. It was indeed the style of my Khitan warrior!"

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Yuan inadvertently: "Today, I am very happy. I originally wanted to chat with you father and son, but I didn't expect anyone to unravel my mind."

Liao Xingzong changed his tone and leaned forward a little: "Chen Shimei, can you pass the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "No."

Yelu Negulu said in the ear of Liao Xingzong: "Uncle, he is unwilling to take the exam."

Chen Yuan clearly analyzed various information in his head, but after all, human heads are not computers. Attracting Liao Xingzong's attention may cause some unexpected chain reactions.

Can you deal with those unexpected things yourself? Before Chen Yuan could figure it out, Liao Xingzong asked: "Chen Shimei, why do you want to become an official again after I came to the Great Liao Dynasty?"

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "This is not what Caomin thought. It is really, if I don't become an official, the princess will cut off my head."

Liao Xingzong nodded slightly. In fact, he already knew the reason. Going back a little, Yelu Niegulu hurriedly put his head on his head, and only heard Liao Xingzong whisper: "This person may be your Zhang Li, do you need my help?"

Yelu Niegulu was overjoyed by this. Zhang Li was the most respected Han official in Liao Xingzong and was always compared to the right-hand man by Liao Xingzong. Now Liao Xingzong said that Chen Yuan might be his Zhang Li, and the meaning contained in this sentence Yelu Niegulu was very clear.

Of course he would not ask Liao Xingzong for help! If Liao Xingzong knew that he didn't even have the ability to subdue Zhang Li, what else could he say?

Yelu Nie whispered: "I dare not bother the emperor, my nephew has a way."

Liao Xingzong looked at Chen Yuan in the corner of his eyes and gave him a message: "Don't be afraid of losing your hands."

Chen Yuan knew that the two of them must be discussing about themselves. He could even guess the general content. What should he do next?

In fact, there are some things that don’t need to think about, just like Linghua and Hu Jing don’t need to think about who will become bigger and who will become smaller. Chen Yuan doesn’t need to think about what he should do in the future. It was his first time to officially intervene in the officialdom, and he still doesn’t understand that the officialdom is like a world of martial arts. Sometimes, you can’t help yourself.

Liao Xingzong looked at Yelu Zongyuan standing aside, sighed and said, "Brother Emperor, sometimes you are too impulsive, you can't even compare with Jiuer. Just like you, you will be in a head-on battle with Yelu Renxian. Even if you win, your vitality will be greatly damaged!"

Yelu Zongyuan was the king of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom. If others said this, he would definitely be furious, but he happily accepted Liao Xingzong's words.

It is normal for the elder brother to blame his younger brother, and no father will get angry because others say that his son is better than him. So Yelu Zongyuan said respectfully: "Yes, the lesson of the emperor brother is."

Liao Xingzong continued: "I am here to discuss something with you this time. The Jurchens in the Northeast have started to cause trouble again. I need a general to lead troops to quell the war."

Yelu Niegulu immediately took a step forward: "Master, I will go!"

However, Liao Xingzong shook his head slightly: "No, this time, I plan to let Hong Ji go."

Yelu Negulu was a little suspicious of his ears and asked Yelu Hongji to go? In the eyes of all the ministers of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Hongji was a child without any opinion! If he was asked to lead his troops there, it would be strange if he didn't lose!

Yelu Negulu thought for a moment and continued to ask for his order: "Please allow me to be the deputy general and assist Hong Ji, and he will definitely be able to quell the rebellion!"

Liao Xingzong's face was a little unhappy: "I just praised you, why are you as impatient as your father? Those women are uncivilized and extremely fierce. Although they are not in a state of affairs now, it is because they have no leader. Once someone takes the lead, they will definitely be the biggest disaster for me, Daliao!"

Chen Yuan couldn't help but admire in his heart that Liao Xingzong had a good vision. In the future, it was the group of female direct people they called "uncivilized" who conquered the Liao Kingdom and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.

Liao Xingzong continued: "Now our Liao Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, but to solve all this, we must first ensure the stability of our rear. Those women must never let them jump out."

Yelu Niegulu still didn't understand that if he wanted to choose a capable general, he would be the best candidate except those older generations. Why would Liao Xingzong not be willing to give him such an opportunity?

Liao Xingzong patted his shoulder as if he had seen through his thoughts: "Let you go, it can only prove that you are suitable. Letting Hong Ji go will not only prove that you are suitable, but also make those who want to use Hong Ji to block your way understand that Hong Ji is not suitable! Do you understand?"

Yelu Niegulu immediately reacted, and at the same time, he felt moved and fell to the ground: "Uncle Emperor! Hong Ji is your only son. If he is put in danger, my nephew will be uneasy!"

However, Liao Xingzong shook his head and said, "There is no other way. We must be faster. Compared with the future of the Liao Dynasty, Hong Ji's personal comfort is nothing. He is also a descendant of our Khitan and should do something for our country."

When Chen Yuan heard this, he had goose bumps all over his body. He hoped that Liao Xingzong would not mention him, because if he continued to talk about it according to his current ideas, he would be in trouble!

Liao Xingzong still looked at him again: "Chen Shimei, you are Hong Ji's accompanying you now. I can see that Hong Ji trusts you very much. He rarely trusts someone like this, especially you only have a few days together."

Chen Yuan felt his hands trembling. When he clasped his fists and spoke, his voice seemed to be a little distorted: "I thanked the prince for his wrong love, and the villain was very grateful."

Liao Xingzong smiled: "You, go with Hong Ji."

Although Chen Yuan told himself that he must hold on, he must hold on! As soon as Liao Xingzong finished speaking, his legs became weak and he almost lay on the ground.

He barely held a chair before he stood up, his face turned pale.

The Jurchen! This name made Chen Yuan a little scared. Based on his understanding of history, the so-called Jurchens who were in trouble at this time were those who were almost savages living in the deep mountains and forests.

They dared to kill tigers with a wooden stick, and their courage is definitely comparable to Wu Song!

Liao Xingzong looked at Chen Yuan's appearance and knew that he didn't dare to go without asking. He immediately gave Chen Yuan a great encouragement: "Don't worry, I know that you are not a talent for fighting, but the Liao Kingdom is different from the Song Dynasty. If you want you to enter the court, if you can help Jiuer, the fastest way is to let you go to the battlefield."

Yelu Niegulu also enlightened Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, the emperor will not let Hong Ji be in danger. Once your situation is unfavorable, I will send troops immediately. You can be assured."

Chen Yuanqiang calmed himself down and murmured: "Your Majesty, my business in Yanjing has just opened. Can I change it to someone else?"

Liao Xingzong was quite unhappy: "Buying and dealings? Is your dealings important or the country of Liao important? Should I wait until your deal is done before sending troops to quell the rebellion?"

This is very decisive. Chen Yuan knew that there was no room for anything.

At the moment, I can only hold my fists: "I'll follow the order."

Liao Xingzong and Yelu Niegulu laughed at the same time. Liao Xingzong said, "Okay, that's good. When you win this battle, you will think those people have nothing to say. At that time, I will make Jiuer the crown prince, Chen Shimei, you will be an official in the court and assist Jiuer. The hope of our Great Liao lies with you generation."

Chen Yuan rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if we use too many troops in the Northeast, will it cause any reaction from the Dangxiang people or the Song people?"

This is what Chen Yuan is most worried about. Don’t fight on your own side if you leave here or there. No matter who hits whom, it has nothing to do with him.

However, Liao Xingzong said calmly: "Now, no one, we, the Song Dynasty, and the Dangxiang people, dared to move first. I quelled the Jurchens just to relieve their worries and make plans later. During this period, we delayed their mission so that we could think clearly about what to do."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan said his famous saying in his heart: Fortunately, things are not too bad. At least he still has a chance after he comes back, and at least he is still alive.

However, if you fight against those Jurchens who fight wild animals all day long, is it because Yelu Hongji, who is even more unbearable than himself, really have the fate to come back?

I won’t think about it now. I will have to go there before I know if I have been here. These few months must not be wasted. Business must be done, and the faster the financing, the better.

I left myself, who would do the right financing? Pang Xi is not good, this kid is not reliable, and I can’t tell if he will hack him after raising money. Amuda is not good either, he is stupid, it’s almost the same thing for someone to lie to him.

However, Yang Wenguang and Hu Jing are reliable but not too stupid, but these two people probably can't lie.

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan really couldn't find a suitable person to choose.

Until he returned to the inn, Pang Xi had been waiting for him for a long time: "Why did you come back? We agreed to go find Xiao Suli's. Now it's time to go, change your clothes and leave quickly."

Only then did Chen Yuan remember that he had not done this and almost forgot about it.

The two of them got on the carriage and when they arrived at Xiao Suli's house, it was completely dark. Xiao Suli stood at the door and looked at him. From the anxiety on his face, he had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Yuan got off the carriage and felt a faint pain in his butt: "Mr. Xiao, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Xiao Suli's tone was quite blamed: "Everyone said that you Song people were punctual, why was it an hour late? If you weren't interested in your business, I would have asked someone to close the door long ago."

Chen Yuan apologized with his fists: "I'm really sorry. I encountered some things in the afternoon, which was delayed. I hope Lord Xiao will not be disgusted."
