The ninth year of Jinghao's reign is the winter solstice.
The army of Yongchang State was defeated repeatedly in battles, losing five counties in a row, and many soldiers rebelled.
The army of the Dakun Dynasty absorbed refugees and rebels, and fought more and more, while the army of the Yongchang Kingdom had no intention of resisting...or, it was a symbolic resistance.
If you are not popular among the people, not only the people will rise up against you, but the generals in the army will also mutiny.
Liu Qing proclaimed himself emperor through rebellion, without being able to be orthodox or upright.
No matter how bad the Dakun Dynasty is, it still has three hundred years of foundation for governance, and the Xiao royal family is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
During the Three Kingdoms period, when Liu Bei rose to power, he had to use the name of Prince Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty. Cao Cao had a large army, and he also had to coerce the emperor to make the princes attach themselves to the Han Dynasty in order to attract people's hearts and soldiers to join him.
If you want to be self-reliant, you must first implement benevolent policies, convince others with your virtue, and be respected by all parties. Only then can the world be united and achieve hegemony.
Yongchang Kingdom is now in a mess, and the deceased Emperor Longqing had great contributions.
Liu Qing brought the fourth prince back and wanted to set up a banner. However, before the death of Emperor Longqing, he issued an edict deposing the fourth prince from his position as prince at the time and declared his death. As a result, the Yongchang Kingdom became a rootless duckweed.
No matter what you do, in the eyes of the people and people with lofty ideals, you are a rebel.
Those who are unfaithful and unjust should be punished by everyone!
Nowadays, the country is forcibly established, and it is short-lived. Within a few years, it will be like waves in the sea, quickly submerged in the tide of the times.
Liu Qing was furious when he lost his territory and wanted to conquer it himself.
Fortunately, the officials dissuaded him. It was freezing cold and heavy snow was coming, so it was really not a good time to send troops.
Da Kun's army also no longer attacked, but defended according to danger and consolidated its territory.
If we want to distinguish between life and death, we have to wait until next spring.
Tianlao compound.
The hunchbacked hunchback...suddenly no longer hunchback.
I can only stuff a cushion behind my back to hold my hump back.
He is not a martial arts expert and has never practiced bone-shrinking skills.
The hunchback is partly fake, and partly caused by leaning forward for a long time and forming a habit, which makes it look like a hunchback.
During this period, there were fewer guards catching young men on the streets, but Hunchback did not dare to gamble, so he could only use cushions to hold the hunchback.
Besides, he is also a secret agent of the Zhenfu Department. He suddenly stood up straight, which could easily lead to suspicion. This would be a life-threatening matter.
Another thing is that the hunchback is also very aggrieved.
When he woke up, there was a big gash in his chest, and he almost bled to death.
"Should everything be fine?"
Zhang Wu helped Luo Guo untie the gauze wrapped around his chest, feeling like laughing in his heart.
I really don’t have the nerve to say that this knife of yours was cut by a tubercular ghost...
Otherwise, I'm afraid this guy will collapse.
When the sick man went to deliver information, Luo Guo helped him cover up his tracks many times, risking exposure and losing his life, but what he got in return was a fatal blow.
"Guaier, you really don't know who chopped me off?"
The hunchbacked hunchback looked at someone suspiciously, deeply suspecting that the kidnapper had drugged him with the knife.
"Of course I don't know."
Zhang Wu opened the buttons of his clothes, shook his head and said:
"I was stabbed just like you, but I only recovered two days faster than you. If I know who the murderer is, can I not tell you?"
He did a full set of acting, but in order not to show any flaws, he worked hard, and when he came back, he punished himself.
But it was just a scratch on the skin, and a little blood was deliberately shed.
Unlike the hunchback, his chest was almost cut open.
Zhang Wu added:
"Besides, the sudden straightening of your spine must have been caused by a martial arts master who is proficient in medical skills. You see, I don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, how can I straighten you?"
"..."
The hunchbacked hunchback was speechless.
I have doubts in my heart, but there is no evidence. I can only seek answers after meeting Cheng Gou later.
Sun Gang opened the curtain and walked in. Holding his hands that were red from the cold, he walked to the brazier, spread his hands to warm the fire and complained:
"It's impossible to survive in this world. It's okay if we don't give out food. We don't even give out cotton-padded clothes. I think the generals in the prison will freeze to death."
Liu Qing was very angry when he was defeated in the border battle. Naturally, he wanted to capture a few defecting generals and behead them in public.
Most of these people are martial arts masters. The only way to make money in the army is to deduct military pay and resell arms, which is something ordinary soldiers can do.
Naturally, these generals have little luck. Not only are they unfilial, they have to pay money to support them in prison.
If it weren't for those two tyrannical powerful men, everyone would have to suffer.
After such a long period of contact, the identity of the two shadow guards is no longer a secret.
It's just that everyone secretly reached a tacit agreement that you take care of the jailer's food and drink, and the jailer also acquiesces to your existence, and everyone lives in peace.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Wu asked:
"Brother Sun, I fainted for some reason that night. I was stabbed in the chest. I don't know who kidnapped the hunchback. I didn't come back until dawn. The old farmer was nowhere to be found. Didn't the higher-ups blame you?"
"I was fined half a year's salary and given a few words of training."
Sun Gang sighed and said:
"Fortunately, I heard that there were martial arts masters who rescued the old farmer and saved him from dying in the prison. It can be regarded as a good deed for us."
"..." Zhang Wu.
You pretend, you keep pretending!
The man fell down when the knife was halfway out.
You are Sun Qianhu, who was known as "cut down with half a sword", and later Sun Dehai, the commander of the Zhenfu Division.
The three pavilion elders were all over the house, but you killed them all, and their hands were stained with the blood of thousands of people.
After Ma Liu came to power, it is said that Sun Dehai was secretly executed by the royal family.
One is that he knows too many secrets, and the other is to appease the public anger of officials.
Unexpectedly, Old Sun suddenly changed, he was still Old Sun, but he changed the map and hid it deeper than the Thunder Sky Sword.
Before Uncle Six joined the Zhenfu Division, Sun Qianhu was already a top-notch expert. Later, Zhang Wu offered the secret recipe of the Marrow Cleansing Sutra and the indestructible power of the Vajra in exchange for the official position of the Honorary General Banner.
More than ten years have passed, and the royal family has given him Qi-training pills to increase his internal strength. It is not surprising that Lao Sun has become a first-class person.
Where is the prison today?
It's simply a cave of spies.
However, so far, Zhang Wu believes that he has not been exposed.
After all, Ma An has the Thunder Sky Sword to attract firepower.
"Hey, are you all chatting?"
Thinking of Ma An, Ma An arrived, opened the curtain, peeked inside, and joked:
"It seems that there are still too many people in the prison, and they are all so relaxed."
The hunchbacked hunchback was not of a high level and it was not clear that Ma An was pretending to be "Zhang Wu", but Sun Gang knew it well.
He greeted with some fiery eyes:
"Xiao An, why are you willing to come back?"
The night he rescued the old farmer, he was besieged by a group of shadow guards. If Ma An hadn't saved him, he would have died tragically on the street.
Lao Lei tried hard to maintain Ma An's character and said:
"Don't I miss you, Uncle Sun?"
"I think you miss your uncle, right?"
Lao Sun said with a smile, feeling a little jealous in his heart. The group of people still haven't figured out the origin of this "Gua Er".
Zhang Wu didn't have many friends, and almost all of them were gathered around him by Ma Liu. The Zhenfu Division think tank couldn't identify anyone who was very close to Zhang Wu.
True and false, interpenetrating each other, the Zhenfu Division is in chaos, and the same is true on Liu Qing's side. It's just about who can win in the chaos.
The four of them chatted for a while, then went to patrol the prison with a hunchback. Sun Gang also left in a wise mood.
Lei Tian Dao looked around and nervously said to Zhang Wu:
