"Song Qiqiu returned to the Khitan and returned home, but he was captured by our dynasty. Compared with land, he returned by sea. Therefore, Xu Wen and Xu Zhigao, the country of Wu must have not known that our dynasty had already recognized the conspiracy he intended to collude with the Khitan, and there was conclusive evidence. With the name of launching troops to investigate, even if he was brave enough to send troops to conquer, it would be legitimate..."

After hearing Zhang Xiaoxing's hurried question, Li Tianqu immediately recited again:

"But whether our dynasty is a division of Wuming or justified, Chu, Yue and Wu countries are dead and cold, and they will never sit still and watch our dynasty extend to the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, even if we were nominally surrendered to our dynasty, we may now send troops to support Wu.

Even so, our dynasty has the name of using troops against the Chu State, but at the same time, we must plan and make arrangements during this period of time..."

After Zhang Xiao received the order and retreated, Li Tianqu ordered and summoned another person to the palace to meet him. However, that person was originally loyal to the general of the Emperor of Wei. Even his previous attitude was always hostile to the Wei Dynasty.

After all, Yang Shihou originally served in the Liang Kingdom of Zhu, and fought with the Wei Dynasty several times, and took advantage of it... and then forced himself to join Bashu and then switch to Yunnan. However, Yang Shihou felt that he had not had much time, so for the sake of his descendants, he reached an agreement with Emperor Li Tianqu of Wei:

If you do not blame the past and let my descendants enjoy wealth and happiness in the Central Plains, then while I can still shock the tribes and tribes in Yunnan, you will assist the Wei Dynasty in establishing the Yunnan Xuanwei Envoy and gradually hand over the military power of the Southern Central Army... And after my death, the Yunnan territory will be all your Wei Dynasty.

According to Yang Shihou's order, Liu Ci, the general of the Nanzhong Army, who was young, also arrived smoothly to Bianjing. There was no need to force conquering by force, so as not to commit murder in vain, and the Han people and even all ethnic groups in Yunnan suffered from military disasters... Li Tianqu would of course fulfill his promise.

However, Yang Shihou's tiger father and son, his son Yang Yao was completely covered up by his own reputation, and his famous general's descendants did not do anything in history. Li Tianqu said in his heart that I granted him a free position of titles and honors that could be blessed and enjoy wealth. In fact, it was equivalent to the imperial court allocating funds to raise a family of idle people... But when he learned that the general of the Nanzhong Army who escorted Yang Shihou's descendants to Bianjing was named Liu Ci, Li Tianqu's first thought was:

I made a lot of money and I found the treasure again.

According to Li Tianqu's thoughts, although Yang Shihou knew that Liu Ci's subordinate could fight, even he probably wouldn't know how much success Liu Ci could achieve in the future.

Liu Ci is not yet famous for his reputation. When he has been in such a generation, Li Tianqu knew that he was not only famous for his bravery when he was working under Yang Shihou's tent. He also had a strong sense of mission for his military campaign. Even in his spare time, he often fell asleep by a sword. When others asked him why, he replied that I used this to make wealth, how can I forget it in one day? Moreover, human nature is easy to get used to, if I lose my muscles, how can I serve the country if I have something to do!"... Driven by this motivation, Liu Ci made an outstanding record and even went through the Five Dynasties of Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou.

The "Biography of the Seventeen Histories of Hundred Generals" written during the Northern Song Dynasty records the biography of 100 famous generals from the beginning of Jiang Ziya, the Taigong of Qi in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and ended in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods. Liu Ci was also among them with his general Liu Xiu.

Although Ge Congzhou, Fu Cunshen, Li Shenfu, Zhou Dewei, and even his old superior Yang Shihou, these top five generations of famous generals, have not been included, it also makes those volumes of biography of famous generals seem biased. However, compared with those generals, Liu Cisheng has been in a long-lasting manner. In terms of fighting, he guarantees his endurance of the record and even lasts for decades...

For example, Li Shenfu died early, Yang Shihou, and Ge Congzhou died one after another during the Later Liang period, Fu Cunshen also died regretfully during the Later Tang Dynasty... But Liu Ci was able to discuss combat power in the Later Liang period, and he was able to make a name for himself among the few silver spear-like troops in the world. Although he offended powerful officials in the Later Tang Dynasty, he was demoted to a small school and became a subordinate for more than ten years... But in the Later Jin Dynasty, he suddenly broke out and defeated the Southern Tang Dynasty, repeatedly attacked rebels, and his military ranks and official positions began to become famous. In the Later Han Dynasty, Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen repeatedly defeated the rebels and other rebels who rebelled against each other, and even survived until the Later Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong succeeded to the throne, and even defeated the Northern Han army, and successively killed the important officials of the enemy country in the face of battle.

So Liu Ci went from the first dynasty of the Five Dynasties to the last dynasty. If compared with sports players, even if he is not one of the top superstars, he can maintain a long-term and stable state. He may have retired from two or three batches with his colleagues of the same era, but he is still insisting on fighting and can still hand in considerable data...

Even if Gao Xingzhou, Fu Yanqing, and An Shenqi had experienced several dynasties, but in the Later Zhou Dynasty, he had basically been offered the sons of Guo Wei, Chai Rong and his son as the elders of the previous dynasty, and rarely led troops to fight in person... But he was 64 years old at that time, and Liu Cishang, a year before his death, had to lead the army to fight. He rushed to the Later Zhou Shizong to rescue him and personally confiscated the guys and slashed the enemy into the formation, and received Chai Rong's reward... It was enough to show that Liu Ci could maintain the state of war, and it was really admirable for a long time.

What's more, although Liu Ci was a military general, he was not only tolerant in politics, but also knew how to appease the people, but also knew people and appointed people well... For example, the prime minister of the early Song Dynasty, Chu Zhaofu, Wang Renshan, and others were all recruited by Liu Ci as staff. It was also when he was dying that he recommended these subordinates to the court. Then Zhao Kuangyin picked up ready-made cheapness and wrote a letter to request that all these wise, brave and powerful people be included in his command...

He also deserves the praise of the previous generation of famous generals. Compared with the generals such as Ge Congzhou, Liu Ci deserves the title of evergreen among generals, knows how to govern the government and stabilize the people, and has a unique vision of discovering the rising talents... So Li Tianqu thought that Liu Ci can be used by our dynasty. Isn't this a huge advantage?

Taking advantage of this plan and deployment, he was preparing to use troops against Chu and Wu. Of course, Li Tianqu intended that Liu Ci, a newly surrendered general, could find the opportunity to make a name for himself, and he would not have fought many times as recorded in history. However, in the Later Tang Dynasty, he was demoted to the principal of the prefecture for more than ten years because he was offended to the powerful ministers.

It is said that you must become famous as soon as possible. Li Tianqu thought that since Liu Ci can return to the Central Plains and make a fortune, I will give you the opportunity to make achievements immediately. Just according to your personality and your life skills can finally come in handy, I will definitely be loyal to my dynasty...

However, Liu Ci was summoned to the side hall of the Inner Dynasty to meet. Li Tianqu saw that this man had been to Bianjing for a short time. Although the general under Yang Shihou's command was respectful, his every move was not only a bit cramped, but his expression was also very unnatural. He was completely different from other Wei Dynasty generals. He and Li Tianqu seemed a little different from each other...

Of course, the Emperor of Wei Dynasty summoned him, and Liu Ci had to greet him with a good face. But after a few greetings, Li Tianqu also noticed that he looked like he was obviously treacherously chatting.

Li Tianqu probably understands Liu Ci's thoughts. His old master Yang Shihou reached an agreement with the Wei Dynasty because of his own situation. However, Liu Ci has been playing in Yang Shihou's army since he joined the army, so he has always been in a hostile relationship with the Wei Dynasty. Now that his position has suddenly changed, his mentality cannot be changed for a while...

If Liu Ci wants to be sincerely loyal, it seems that he must be open to it... After Li Tianqu thought about it in his heart, he stared at Liu Ci, who had only half of his butt on the chair, and seemed very uncomfortable, and suddenly said:

"You join the army, and as Yang Shihou and Yang Jieshuai switch to the world, you will definitely benefit a lot from his experience... I have to admit that Yang Jieshuai is worthy of being one of the few famous generals of the world. After all, Wang Chongshi, Huo Cun... and my confidant generals also died for his defeat..."
