Wearing a scholar's green robe, a soft hat, and three long beards fluttering under his chin, he stood alone on the muddy roadside with two old servants carrying food and wine, bowing slightly. Although he didn't speak, his eyes were already full.
Tears flashed.
Who could not be overjoyed to meet such an old friend on a frosty day by the ancient road, beside the army?
"Brother Li, why do you have to stand in the ice and snow and make my little brother feel heartbroken?"
"My worthy brother is about to march to the north. The road there is high and there are many dangers and obstacles. My foolish brother is a rotten scholar who has no strength to tie a chicken. He cannot help my wise brother to manage the country's territory. I can only prepare a small glass of wine to support my wise brother's journey."
"I'm going here for the sake of the emperor. How can I dare to say that I have worked so hard? But my brother has traveled thousands of miles and worked hard all the way."
"The wise brother went out to kill the thieves with great courage. The foolish brother prepared a small glass of wine for the wise brother to drink. Mo Daobei left Yanmen without any friends. The foolish brother waited in Tang County for the wise brother to return with a great victory!"
Chen Lin, who was originally standing by Yun Zheng's side and planning to speak, glanced at the two sympathetic people. Knowing that it would be inconvenient to talk today, she rode forward to chase the retreating Chinese army.
Wang Anshi couldn't stand Li Chang's disgusting behavior. After snorting, he followed Chen Lin and ran forward. The mud thrown up by the horse's hooves splashed Li Chang all over.
"As a criminal, how can he have the confidence to do this?"
After the two unsightly people left, Li Chang immediately jumped to his feet and began to curse Wang Anshi. Chen Lin had always been a sinister person, and he didn't dare to curse as a criminal, but at this time, he really didn't want to curse Wang Anshi, a criminal like him.
A little bit of psychological burden.
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "What did Brother Li do today? It's really unreasonable!"
Without the outsiders, Li Chang immediately dragged Yun Zheng to sit on the soft stool prepared by the old servant, lowered his voice and said: "Those people in Taihang Mountain have a big appetite and are very demanding!"
Yun Zheng frowned and said: "It's already an open question whether we can chop off their heads after the incident. How dare they make other demands?"
Li Chang sighed dejectedly and said: "That was when you were ruling them. With you around, they naturally didn't dare to let out a fart, but I am a scholar, so people look down on me, right?"
Yun Zheng said in surprise: "Old Li, when you were in Qingtang, the six ferocious Yuanzhai tribes were all turned into soft beasts in your hands. Why are you so helpless against a few thieves now, and why do you still ask to be rescued by me? Your subordinates
They are all veterans from our Jingxi Army. Isn’t there anything we can do against a few bandits?”
Li Chang gritted his teeth and said: "Originally there was no problem. Ever since Wen Yanbo arrived at Juncheng Village, everything has gone wrong. Some bandits naturally took refuge in his sect. After I got angry, I sent my own soldiers to kill them.
We killed some bandits, but we still couldn't reverse the decline. Now, the bandits have retreated from the Liao Kingdom and are confronting me.
Wen Yanbo disregarded military and national affairs and was so constrained by personal grudges, he is really not a son of man."
Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "There are many bandits in the Taihang Mountains. They are actually the noble family generals in the capital. It seems that they have handed over the control of the bandits to Wen Yanbo.
Wen Yanbo took office as the magistrate of Zhending Prefecture, and Junchengzhai was the farthest place he could reach. You, the magistrate of Dingzhou and concurrently the magistrate of Tang County, are still under their control, so it is only natural that they take over the affairs in your hands.
,What is there to be unwilling to do?"
Li Chang shook his head and said: "That's not the case. I am certain that Wen Yanbo stopped me from taking over the Taihang Mountain bandits this time out of personal grudges. Although I, Li Chang, am greedy for profit, the interests of what I seek are consistent with those of the Song Dynasty.
The reason why I want to control the Taihang Mountain bandits is to use these people to create panic in the important grain-producing areas of Feihu, Laiyuan, and Lingqiu, create a no-man's land, and open up an unknown road for your army to cross the border. Before that, I even used some bandits to secretly place the stolen food in the Liao Kingdom to create some favorable conditions for you to move forward lightly. Now, after Wen Yanbo got involved, everything has come to nothing."
Yun Zheng looked at the ragged Li Chang and said with a smile: "Don't be angry. It seems that you already have a plan. Tell me what you need me to do. For the sake of your hard work, I will admit it even if I take the blame for you." .”
After hearing what Yun Zheng said, the furious Li Chang immediately put on a smiling face, raised his hand and gracefully drew a line on his neck.
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "No problem, isn't it just to kill Wen Yanbo? I have long disliked this guy. This is easy to say. We have ten thousand ways to make Wen Yanbo's death unnoticed!"
Before Yun Zheng finished speaking, Li Chang's eyes bulged out with fear. He shook his hands like windmills and said hurriedly: "Who wants to kill Wen Yanbo? Who said he wants to kill Wen Yanbo? Although in my heart They all think so, but it can't be done. If Wen Yanbo is killed, the sky will fall. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, this level of cannibalism has never happened. This case cannot be repeated. Don't open it, otherwise, within a few years, the Song Dynasty will be finished due to the intensifying assassination trend.
I would rather hang up my seal and go home immediately than do this."
Yun Zheng laughed loudly and said: "I saw you wiping your neck, and I thought you really wanted to do that. Anyway, I will run away after this battle, and it really doesn't matter if I kill a lot of people I don't like. "
Li Chang smiled bitterly and said: "You ran away, I still have to hang out in the court, and my descendants still have to rely on the imperial examination to become masters. Therefore, I care more about some inviolable laws in the court than anyone else. With these laws, Protection is the fun of being an official. If it really turns out to be the Hou Zhao Dynasty during the Five Husties, who the hell is willing to be that official whose head will fall off at any time?"
Seeing that Li Changzhen was anxious, Yun Zheng stopped teasing him and nodded: "Since you want to attack those disobedient bandits, just ask me what you are doing. You have enough power to do it well." of."
Li Chang shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. The composition of bandits in the Taihang Mountains is too complicated. I carefully analyzed it and found that even the damn Xixia people are involved here. Since I want to kill, naturally I will If I want to clear up the source and can't be used by me, I must kill all of them. Then the problem arises. There are still some people in your little wife's hands. After I inquired about it, I found out that they are from the Maitreya religion. I must kill these people. If someone accuses me of colluding with the Maitreya Cult, it will be inevitable for my family to go fishing in Yazhou."
Yun Zheng frowned and said: "My little wife is a saint of the Maitreya religion. Many people know about this. I believe that even His Majesty knows about it. Why are you so taboo?"
Li Chang said angrily: "You killed Gao Tansheng, but I didn't!"
Yun Zheng took a bite of the cold dish Li Chang brought, drank a bowl of warm rice wine in one gulp, patted Li Chang's shoulder and said: "My family is about to leave the land and go to the sea, so things on the land have nothing to do with my family but everything to do with it." All the people have already gone to Dengzhou and are preparing to go to sea. It doesn’t matter if you kill them as much as you want, they will have to adapt to the new life."
Li Chang nodded. Since Yunzheng no longer wanted to live on land, he believed that he had the right to take over some of the Yun family's inheritance.
Over the years, Li Chang's speculation business has achieved huge returns. The Li family, which was originally unknown in the Song Dynasty, now has three people who have become central-level officials. Although he himself was demoted to Dingzhou, no one would think that
He has lost his Sacred Heart. On the contrary, going to serve in Dingzhou, a frontier fortress, is a sign of ability.
All the recognized pillars of the imperial court are now in the frontier fortress, not to mention Di Qing and Yun Zheng. These two are military generals, which is not uncommon in the frontier fortress. However, Han Qi is in Hebei, Fu Bi is in Qingtang, and Wen Yanbo is in
In Zhending Mansion, Wang Anshi is in Yanmen Pass, which explains the problem. At least when people mention these people, they will say, Li Chang is in Dingzhou!
The army continued to advance, and Yun Zheng and Li Chang were still sitting on a piece of dry land by the side of the road, watching their difficult march.
Li Chang suddenly sighed and said: "Who is not walking in the mire?
Commander, after conquering the land of Yanyun, the emperor's sword of the Song Dynasty has been forged.
This sword uses Yandi Shicheng as the front, Qi Dai as the e, Jin and Wei as the ridge, Zhou and Song as the tan, Han and Wei as the pinch; it is surrounded by the four barbarians, wrapped by the four seasons, surrounded by the Bohai Sea, and led by Changshan Mountain;
The system is based on the five elements, the theory is based on punishment and virtue; the opening is based on yin and yang, the holding is based on spring and autumn, and the movement is based on autumn and winter.
This sword is as straight as it can be, it can be lifted as high as it can be, it can move without any problems, it can move without any side, it can cut through floating clouds at the top, and destroy the ground at the bottom. Once this sword is used, the princes will be subdued, and the world will be subdued. Once the emperor's sword is used, the Great Song Dynasty will be conquered.
Can it really last for tens of thousands of years?”
Yun Zheng knew that this was a kind of emotion that Li Chang sent out unconsciously, and it was a bit like Zhang Yanghao's "Sheep on the Hillside. Nostalgia for the Past". Where in the world did the country of tens of thousands of years come from?
Yun Zheng has always wanted to kill Keribao. It is said that this guy will be the ancestor of the Jin Kingdom decades later, but now he is even more worried about Bo Bo. This child who was raised by himself has now truly become a tiger. He has traces of traces on his body.
It has the blood of barbarism and the elegant teachings of the Song people.
When a person is savage in heart and elegant in appearance, he is born with the temperament of a leader. I heard that he has now established a new tribe and appointed himself as the leader. He has settled in the Duck River area and led the tribe's warriors to plunder everywhere. Now
He has become a leader among the Jurchen tribe.
In the past, Yun Zheng wanted to use Bo Bo to restrain Keribao. Now, it seems that Keribao is more needed to restrain Bo Bo. Keribao is just a wild wolf, and Bo Bo is now a half-sized tiger.
, it is clear at a glance who needs to be clamped more.
A few decades later, the Jin Kingdom would conquer Bianliang City in Tokyo, but I don’t know which of the two men it was? In the original history, the Song Dynasty bought the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun with money. Unfortunately, this army did not
The tempered Emperor's Sword was easily broken by a group of barbarians...
The Kingdom of Jin destroyed Tokyo, where civilization was at its peak, and another barbarian who grew up on the prairie invaded Hangzhou, and then all the civilization in the sky drowned in Yashan...
Yun Zheng turned to Li Chang and said: "If you have the opportunity to kill someone, don't miss it!" (To be continued)
