"What's the matter? If my cousin seemed to want me to accept the arrangement of the eldest lady to make Guo the queen, I wouldn't agree!" Zhao Zhen said very alertly when he heard that Li Zhang's bet was to make him agree to him.

"Don't worry, it's not this. I will only provide you with reference to the matter of the Empress. As for whom you choose in the end, I will support you!" Li Zhang smiled immediately. When he said this, he was even more curious about the legendary Wang family. What kind of woman was the other party, which could actually make Zhao Zhen, who had always been cowardly, burst out with such great determination?

"Okay, if I lose, then I will promise you something to my cousin, but if I win, cousin, you must give me the promised musket in advance. I don't want to wait any longer!" Zhao Zhen nodded immediately when he heard Li Zhang's words and made his request.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was still thinking about the musket he promised to give him, Li Zhang couldn't help laughing and then slapped the other party as a sworn. In fact, Li Zhang also realized that Zhao Zhen might not be really interested in tigers and lions, but he had a dispute with Liu E because of the queen's death, so he deliberately looked like he was dissatisfied. In fact, it was mainly to use this method to express his dissatisfaction to Liu E.

"Roar~" Just as Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen were talking, the tiger in the pit was finally angry by the lion. It was roaring and biting each other with the lion, and no one was willing to give in. In the end, the two beasts actually flew into the air, supporting the man with only the back feet, and the four front feet were entangled with the two beast heads, and it seemed that they could not decide the winner for a while.

But at this moment, the tiger suddenly broke away from the lion's entanglement, and it actually stood up with its hind limbs. Then the two wide tiger palms slapped the lion's head like heavy hammers.

The lion's attack method is relatively simple, mainly by biting the teeth, but the tiger is full of weapons. In addition to the teeth, its claws can tear the prey apart, and it can also hit the opponent hard like a bear's paw. According to later tests, a tiger's random attack power can reach one ton. In other words, if this palm hits a person, even the person's armor will probably be killed.

What's even more deadly is that the tiger's palm strike is not just one, but a set of combined strikes. It is said that the Siberian tiger's palm strike can knock down the black bear. Now the tiger uses this move to the lion. As a result, under these series of blows, the lion is also photographed and retreated repeatedly, and his mind is also confused.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the tiger suddenly rushed forward and bit the lion's neck. Although the thick mane on the lion's neck was protected, it still could not block the tiger's sharp teeth. In the blink of an eye, it was bitten off the throat. Finally, it fluttered a few times and died. However, the tiger was also injured. It was panting for a long time before it began to bite the lion's flesh and started to eat.

"So amazing, cousin, you won, tell me what I want me to agree to?" Zhao Zhen saw that the tiger really won in the end, and couldn't help but praise him, and then said to Li Zhang very readily.

At this time, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the lion who was lying on the ground in the pit that was treated as food by a tiger. He was afraid that he would not have thought that he would have been transported to the Song Dynasty thousands of miles away, but eventually died at the mouth of another beast.

"Let's go, let's talk about it later!" Li Zhang turned his head and said to Zhao Zhen. Although Zhao Zhen watched the Lion and Tiger Fight to anger Liu E, it still shows that his personality has changed a lot, which made Li Zhang have other words to say to him.

"Okay, I'm just about to ask about your situation in the northwest. I heard that you fought with the Dangxiang people and won a great victory. I was so excited that I didn't sleep well after hearing this news. Every day I dreamed of going to war with you, Cousin!" Zhao Zhen said excitedly again at this time. He hadn't seen each other for half a year. He missed Li Zhang very much, especially Li Zhang actually led his troops to fight, which made him yearn for even more. After all, every boy would have such a dream in adolescence.

"This battle was not something I fought, but General Cao commanded the border army. At most, I helped to dispatch the logistics, but didn't even go to the battlefield. At most, I went to the battlefield for a while after the battle, but almost vomited." Li Zhang also waved his hand when he heard this. Cao Wei worked hard to command the army to make such a great contribution, so he dared not admit it.

"Really? Cousin, you almost vomited on the battlefield?" Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up again when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then grabbed his arm and shouted excitedly, "Tell me what the real battlefield looks like. Every time I dream about the battlefield, I don't feel it very real. Besides, what kind of person is General Cao? I heard that he is proficient in military tactics and is the pillar of the army of my Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, I have never seen him!"

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was so interested in the battlefield, Li Zhang immediately picked some things about the northwest and said it. Zhao Zhen also listened very seriously and asked some questions from time to time. Although some questions seemed a bit naive and ridiculous, Li Zhang still patiently answered him. After all, let alone Zhao Zhen, who was good in the deep palace, he didn't even know much about the real situation on the battlefield before.

Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen walked and chatted, and finally came to the bedroom together. At this time, Li Zhang suddenly smiled slightly, and then changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why we had a war with Dangxiang this time?"

"This... I heard that Dangxiang was the first to attack us, but was defeated by General Cao. Even Li Deming, the leader of the Dangxiang people, died. This is really satisfying. The northwest will finally be stable for a while in the future." Zhao Zhen did not expect that Li Zhang suddenly shifted the topic from the battlefield to the reasons for the war with the Dangxiang people, so hesitated for a while before answering.

"Haha, does Your Majesty know why Dangxiang is going to attack us?" Li Zhang asked again at this time.

"As Dangxiang, all these barbarians from abroad are very brave and brave, and they are extremely greedy and covet the wealth of our Song Dynasty. They attacked our Song Dynasty just to grab grain, money and people. I have also heard of these things." Zhao Zhen said again immediately.

During this period, Zhao Zhen only discussed with Liu E for the matter of establishing the queen, and did not care much about other things. Moreover, Qingzhou was too far from the capital. In addition, there were some wars on the border of the Song Dynasty every year. If it weren't for Li Zhang, he would probably not be too lazy to pay attention.

"Your Majesty is right. Generally speaking, the barbarian invasions outside the country are nothing more than because they don't have enough food to eat, so they went south to plunder our people. But this time it's different, because this war was actually caused by me..."

As Li Zhang said that, he told him that he had plotted against Li Yuanhao and had blown him into a mess. Not many people knew about this, but not many people, but there was no movement in the capital, and no one said he wanted to ask about Li Zhang's crime. It was obviously suppressed by Liu E, so even Zhao Zhen didn't know.

"So that's it. That Li Deming actually avenged his son!" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but show a sudden expression after hearing Li Zhang's words, but then he asked in confusion, "But why did you assassinate Li Yuanhao?"

"I was actually too careless about this matter. At that time, I was in charge of the border market, so I met Li Yuanhao, who was named Weiming. I thought he was very arrogant, so I chatted with him for a few words, but I didn't expect that this arrogant person was very disrespectful to His Majesty and the Great Empress in his words, but even said that he would build a country alone in the future and stand together with the Song and Liao countries, etc. In the end, I was so angry that I asked the wild dog to teach him a lesson on the road. As a result, the wild dog was a little severe, so what happened later."

At the end, Li Zhang deliberately showed a helpless expression and said that of course the above reason was made up by him. After all, he could not tell Zhao Zhen that he knew the later history. Li Yuanhao could really defeat the Song and Liao and establish the Western Xia, and form a three-legged tripod, right?

"I'm a savage, my cousin taught me the lesson. It's ridiculous that a mere leader of the Party Xiang actually wanted to stand together with the Song and Liao dynasties!" Zhao Zhen also shared the same hatred for the enemy after hearing Li Zhang's words. He not only agreed with Li Zhang's actions, but also felt that it was a bit too light. At least he should have cut off Li Yuanhao's tongue.

"Your Majesty thinks Li Yuanhao's idea is ridiculous?" Li Zhang suddenly asked back at this time.

"Of course it's ridiculous. It's just a Dangxiang. Even if you gather the entire Dangxiang's strength, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers. How could this person be the opponent of my Song or Liao Kingdom?" Zhao Zhen said disdainfully again.

Seeing Zhao Zhen despising Dang Xiang so much, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Zhao Zhen's attitude was also a common view of Dang Xiang in the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid that they would only be awakened after Li Yuanhao rose and defeated the Song army three times.

"But your Majesty, you probably don't know that Dangxiang has been working hard for Xituo in recent years, and then secretly accumulates strength. Now he has become a domineering person in the northwest. Li Deming appears to be obedient, but in fact he is indifferent. Li Yuanhao even directly expressed his ambitions on his face. So even if I didn't have the matter of plotting against Li Yuanhao, General Cao would find a reason to attack Dangxiang in the future!"

When he said this, Li Zhang paused for a moment and then said, "So the real reason why Li Deming and his son ended up now is that they cannot control their desires and ambitions. However, their strength is limited, and they cannot control their desires at most, only let Dangxiang destroy the clan. But if the king of a country cannot control his desires, the consequences will probably be a hundred times, a thousand times, and a thousand times more serious than that of the Li family's father and son!"
