Chapter 90: The clouds open and the fog clears

But it is said that Fuju adopts the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, after fighting with Yelu fearless outside the Yongtong Gate, the two of them are like a tiger on the mountain and a tiger on the mountain, and the dragon in the water meets the dragon out of the water, coming and going, repeatedly, stirring a ball, twisting into a piece, killing is a blend of water and milk, indistinguishable, the sky is dark, the sun and the moon have no light, the blink of an eye, one hundred and ten rounds have passed, but because the two will meet good materials, chess opponents, since the victory or defeat also.

The people on both sides were a little stunned, shouting and cheering, one after another, one after another.

It is said that Fuju and Yelu Fearless are evenly matched, not bad, fighting and killing themselves in a stalemate also, although they are fighting for the final victory, and fighting with all their might, but in the absence of external forces, for a while, no one wants to change the situation of the stalemate, and easily win.

It is said that Fuju is a person who knows a lot, touches the bypass, draws inferences, and never forgets the person, originally thought that he would be able to win easily, or it would not be long before he could easily win, since he never expected the result to be so, when after more than 100 rounds of moves with Yelu Dreadnought, he was familiar with Yelu Dreadnought's set of attack paths, and saw that if he didn't use the trick, it would be difficult to win, and immediately decided to use the trick to confuse Yelu Dreadnought, induce him to be fooled, and then defeat him. When the dark cloud cover was attacking him, he said that it was too late, but it was fast, and he saw that after he blocked the attack with a move of 'clearing the clouds and seeing the sun', he followed the move of 'Qinglong Swinging his tail', pretending to be tired and out of breath, and walked back.

It is said that Yelu fearless does not know what the plan is, when he suddenly saw the exhausted color of Fuju in an instant, and saw it walking backwards, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, since he was also when Fuju had been exhausted after a hundred and ten rounds of killing, he was exhausted, and he was trying his best to find out what he could, and he wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and he was bent on avenging his apprentice.

But said that Fuju wished that he would chase after him, and when he heard the sound suddenly, he was overjoyed, and in an instant, while Yelu Wuxing relaxed his vigilance, he saw him turn his blade, and said that it was too late, and then it was fast, and he turned around and turned a 'prodigal son', and waved his knife as quickly as a spark, and slashed back like lightning.

Na Yelu fearless never thought that although he couldn't help but be taken aback, he was not weak, and he didn't panic, so he hurriedly put away his knife and dodged, and then hid to the side.

Fuju who is also a person, after a trick is successful, he will not give him a chance to fight back, just like a tiger going down the mountain, a dragon going out to sea, he is decisive in killing, chasing and slashing quickly, and he is so elusive that the road is broken and sparsely populated.

That Yelu fearless never expected that Fuju's counterattack would be leaky, invulnerable, for a while, in a hurry, helpless, when in the left and right retreat, two or three in a row after being scratched three or four openings, suddenly made him frightened, the soul was scattered, when he saw that he could not block the attack, he was not blocking, sold a flaw, dragged the knife and left.

Fuju came this time to fight against Jerod's fearlessness, and he was not willing to let him flee easily, and immediately shouted, "Jerod, go there," and chased after him like a spark of fire.

But said that Xiao Quan, Xiao Qi and the two of them had been paying attention to the fight between the two sides, and suddenly saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked, they didn't need to be greeted, and they didn't care about the rules set before, they immediately shouted, "Rest and hurt my master", and led his soldiers with a knife, as fast as lightning, to rescue Yelu Fearless.

The words are clear, clear, Zhou Chengming and they always pay attention to everything on the battlefield, when they suddenly saw it, they were angry and angry, and immediately shouted, "Don't break the rules," waving the wooden stick in his hand, he was murderous and violent, and killed Xiao Quan and Xiao Qi.

The two sides were in a moment's time, and they opened up.

Speaking of Xiao Quan, Xiao Qi and the two of them shot to block Fuju's pursuit, and after saving Yelu Fearless, they killed Fuju fiercely, knowing that they had few people and could not resist, so they commanded their subordinates to parry and block, while protecting Yelu Fearless, they were busy like a lost dog, and they were in a hurry like a fish that had slipped through the net, and retreated to the city gate.

In order to kill and get rid of him, they waved the weapons in their hands, one by one, like a tiger coming down the mountain, a dragon out of the water, since they didn't put those blocking soldiers in their eyes at all, everywhere they went, they were injured and killed, and they were like broken bamboos.

All of a sudden, the howl of wolves and ghosts resounded through the sky.

It is said that Yelugui who was guarding the city wall when they saw everything under the city, they would not stand idly by and sit idly by, and as they saw Yelu fearless, Xiao Quan, Xiao Qi, they crossed the Huancheng River, and when they arrived at the gate of the city, they were afraid that they would take the opportunity to kill into the city, and they did not care that there were soldiers behind them blocking Fuju, and immediately while people were ascending the bridge, they ordered people to release arrows to stop Fuju from coming and purifying them to chase after them.

The 100 soldiers who had not yet jumped over the moat in the middle of the fight did not fight themselves, and in order to save their lives, they all immediately jumped into the moat and swam to the opposite bank.

Fuju, clean they never expected that Yelugui and they would ignore their own people being killing and blocking, so they decisively released the arrows, they were a little angry and hateful, in view of the momentum of ten thousand arrows, in order to avoid greater casualties, they did not pursue forward, immediately dialed the flying arrows, hurriedly Mingjin collected the troops, and retreated.

But said that Xiao Quan, Xiao Qi and the others saw that Fuju and they were defeated and left, they didn't dare to put down the drawbridge and take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and commanded their subordinates to rescue the soldiers in the moat ashore, and then entered the city and closed the city gate.

Let's say that after Fuju led the troops to retreat to a safe place, after seeing Yelu fearless and they collected troops into the city and returned, they knew that even if they were challenging now, they would never come out to fight again, as for the siege of the city, what they wanted, it would not work, and after deciding to challenge again tomorrow, they randomly collected troops and went east, and camped in the Fuxian Temple, which is five miles away from the city.

It is said that after they camped in the Fuxian Temple and rested for a night, the next day, after breakfast, the assembled team was violent, and after arriving at Yongtongmen with murderous spirit, they randomly challenged and called the battle.

When the soldiers patrolling and defending the city heard this, they did not dare to slack off, and randomly reported to Jerudaught.

When the injured Yelu fearless heard this, he was angry, and he stood up, but when he saw that he was injured and could no longer go out of the city to fight, he randomly sat down in despair, regretting his carelessness yesterday, and after some careful consideration, he decided to ignore it for the time being, so that after the injury was healed and then went out of the city to fight, he randomly gave an order to the apprentices.

After Xiao Quan, Xiao Qi, Ye Luwen, Ye Lu Wu and others heard the order, they didn't dare to be slow, and they took turns to defend the city, and they didn't make any response to the challenge of Fuju outside the city.

Fuju, Zhou Chengming, when they saw that Yelu fearlessly relied on the momentum of the high and deep ditches of the city, ignored his own challenges, and did not react, although they were angry, they were helpless.

Zhou Chengming was angry and hateful, and randomly sent people to fight in the city, but no matter how they scolded, the soldiers of the city didn't seem to hear it, and they didn't say anything, and they didn't react.

Zhou Chengming was angry, so he made a fuss for seven or eight days, and he didn't lead to Yelu Fearless.

It is said that when Fuju saw that Yelu was fearless and would rather be scolded, be a turtle with a shrunken head, and not go out of the city to fight, they knew that people were iron, rice was steel, and they knew that people were iron, rice was steel, and they were hungry and panicked, and they knew that they could not afford to consume it, so they immediately stopped fighting at Yongtongmen, and in order to prevent accidents, they retreated for twenty or thirty miles, and after finding a safe place to live and settle down at the Dagu Pass, they randomly sent people to collect grain and grass from all over the world, and made siege ladders at the same time.

But said that Yelu fearless against the Fuju they fought and scolded although they heard it every day, but because of the injuries on the body, they had no choice but to do it, even after enduring it for more than ten days, when they heard that the Fuju they were not able to supply food and grass, they did not come to fight, and in order to prevent themselves from launching a sudden sneak attack, they also retreated for forty or fifty hours, and immediately put down his heart, and he had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart, and in an instant, he sent someone to call Yelugui to go.

That Yelugui was about to go out on patrol, and after hearing the rumor suddenly, he didn't dare to hesitate, and saw Yelu fearlessly going and entering the door, and he didn't know what was going on, so he immediately asked him face to face. "Master, what's the matter with you looking for me in a hurry this time?"

"Yelugui, I heard that the blessed house didn't come today, did I?" Jeream Fearless said:

Yelugui was surprised: "Yes, what's wrong? ”

Yelu fearless said straightforwardly: "Yelu Gui, that's the case, I want to take this opportunity to go out of the city to Mengzhou, find Gao Muhan and them, and then, come to it to attack inside and outside, and kill Fuju in one fell swoop, how about it?" ”

"Well, then I'll go now," said Jerugui.

Yelu fearlessly said: "Okay, but after you leave the city, you must be careful on the road, and you must not let the Fuju them find you." ”

"Master, I understand this, don't worry," Yelugui walked out of the door and returned to his room after changing his clothes to become an ordinary person, and then pulled the horse out of the mansion, and went out of the city from the upper east gate to Mengjin Pass.

Mengjin Pass is also known as Heyang Pass, is one of the eight passes of Luoyang, is located in the north of Luoyang City, the two are more than 60 or 70 miles apart, it is an important ferry port on the Yellow River, it is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, the mountains in the south, the mountains in the south, the mountains in the west, the Xiaopingjin Pass in the east, because of its dangerous situation, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

It is said that after Yelugui beat the horse and left Luoyang, he did not stop all the way, and the horse was whipped, and it didn't take long for him to get to Mengjin Pass, and he didn't care about eating when he turned over and dismounted, and after finding a ferry boat at Mengjin Ferry, he immediately boarded the boat and went to the north bank of the Yellow River.

The water of the Yellow River came up from the sky, it was as yellow as pulp, and the mighty river water was like pouring into the mountains and the sea, surging, surging and surging to the east uninhibitedly, mighty, indomitable, and never returned.

The captains ferryed here all the year round, and they didn't pay attention to the turbulent river, and rowed to the north skillfully with the boat, and soon sent Yelugui and his war horse to the north bank.

Na Yelugui led the horse off the ferry, and after asking the captain about the location of Mengzhou, he went to Mengzhou City with the horse, looked for Gao Muhan, Cui Tingxun, and dragged them there.

The sky, the sky is clear, the sun is shining, all kinds of flowers and plants, the branches are luxuriant, the flowers are red and willow green, everything seems to be in the painting, it is pleasing to the eye, relaxed and pleasant.

But it was said that Yelugui left the Yellow River crossing, all the way non-stop, and quickly whipped to the city of Mengzhou, when he saw that there was no sign of battle in Mengzhou City, he was surprised and puzzled, and he didn't know where Gao Muhan and they were camped, so he randomly looked for Gao Muhan, Cui Tingxun, and dragged them around Mengzhou City.

It is said that Yelugui beat the horse from west to north, and from north to east, and walked around Mengzhou City, when he did not see Gao Mouhan, Cui Tingxun, and dragged them, he was surprised and puzzled, he did not understand the situation in the city, and he did not dare to go into the city to inquire, as he entered a village, and met a villager who was about to go to the ground, he immediately got off the horse and asked, "Fellow, go down to work in the field, borrow a step to ask, how about it?" ”

The villager, who was in his forties, was about to send fertilizer to the ground with a dung burden on his shoulders, when he suddenly saw a young man coming in from the north of the village and dismounted to ask him, he hurriedly stopped and said in surprise: "What is the matter?" ”

Yelugui lied and said: "Fellow, that's the case, when I passed by here two days ago, weren't there many Khitan teams besieging Mengzhou City, why can't I see them now, have they already entered the city?" ”

After the villager understood, he smiled and said, "So you are asking about this, young man, tell you that those Khitan people who have done a lot of evil have been beaten away by Shi Hongzhao and them from Taiyuan." ”

"What?" Yelugui couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about, fellow countryman, they have been beaten away by Shi Hongzhao from Taiyuan?" ”

The villager said, "Yes, it's not bad, otherwise, I wouldn't have worked in the fields." ”

Yelugui was surprised: "Fellow, what the hell is going on?" ”

"This is the way it is, young man," said the villager, as he began to tell the story of what had happened.

Things turned out to be like this, let's not say in the last book that Wu Xingde was in a hurry to Jinyang, Shi Hongzhao used the general Ma Zhi as the vanguard, marched into the starry night, defeated Liu Dejian who besieged Luzhou, and Luyi Jiedu made Geng Chongmei get the letter to go back to help.

When Ma Zhi knew that Geng Chengmei led the troops back to help, he knew that the first strike was strong, and the second attack was in trouble, so he immediately took advantage of Geng Chongmei's unstable foothold, led the troops by surprise, attacked him unprepared, shouted and attacked, and advanced with his blades, like the wind sweeping the leaves, after defeating Geng Chongmei in one fell swoop, he came to Mengzhou to rescue Wu Xingde.

When they learned that Geng Chongmei was defeated and retreated to Huaizhou, they were frightened, and without waiting for Ma Zhi to lead the troops, Cui Tingxun and Tu Ra they immediately fled north, and after burning and looting Weizhou through the passing, they randomly went to Huaizhou to meet Geng Chongmei who retreated there first. Therefore, Yelu Guicai could not see the Khitan soldiers outside Mengzhou City.

It is said that after Ye Lugui knew that Gao Muhan had crossed the Yellow River from Bishui and returned to Kaifeng, he didn't care that Wu Xingde of Mengzhou City was going to send troops to attack Zezhou to attack Zhai Lingqi, and he didn't ask in the east and west, looking around, and immediately said goodbye to the villager, and he didn't dare that the sky was going to be dark and the night was going to be dark.

It is said that after listening to Yelu Gui's return and knowing the situation in Mengzhou, Yelu Wuxing couldn't help but be taken aback, never expecting this sudden and unexpected thing to happen.

In the blink of an eye, when he learned that Yelu Deguang died in Luancheng in Zhenzhou on the way back to the north, he made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave on a dog day, and his feet were cold all the way to his head.

Time flies, like a white horse passing through a gap, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

However, before Yelu was fearless, Liu Xi and the two came up with a foolproof strategy, Taiyuan Liu Zhiyuan took Yang Wei as the privy envoy, Guo Wei as the deputy envoy, Wang Zhang as the third envoy, Su Fengji, Su Yuqi as the same Pingzhang matter, to take Henan along the Fenshui south on May 12, the twelfth year of Tianfu, and then map the news of the world, and not sooner or later, when it came, he made Yelu fearless and shuddered.

It is said that just when Yelu Wuxing heard the news from everywhere, and was in the private office with Liu Xi was uneasy, worried, and didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard that Xuanwu Jiedu made Xiao Han's subordinate Gao Zixi bring more than 50 or 60 soldiers to come, as if he saw a small boat in the ocean, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and went out with Liu Xi.

That Gao Zixi is nine feet tall, with a round face and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, a big shoulder and a round waist, and a tiger's back and a bear's waist. ”

"Okay, good, Lord Gao, this time I came, the road is going well!" Jeremiah asked in surprise:

Gao Zixi said: "It's okay, I didn't encounter any trouble." ”

Liu Xi was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, that's really good, hurry up, please in the house." ”

"Please, please, please," the three of them greeted each other politely, and walked towards the house.

But it was said that the three of them entered the house, sat down politely, and after reading the tea, Yelu Wudauntless followed and inquired, "Alas, Lord Gao, what kind of wind blew you here this time?" ”

Gao Zixi said: "Two adults, nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time, I came to invite Li Congyi, the king of Xu, to Kaifeng to discuss the state affairs of the Southern Dynasty. ”

It is said that when Yelu Wuxing suddenly heard this, he couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Lord Gao, what did you say, inviting King Xu Li Congyi to Kaifeng to discuss the state affairs of the Southern Dynasty?" ”

"yes, what's wrong, what's weird?" Gao Zixi said:

"Of course it's strange," Yelu asked fearlessly, "Lord Gao, although Li Congyi, the king of Xu, is known as King Xu, he has no generals and no soldiers in his hands, and he is already an outdated person, what state affairs is Lord Xiao looking for him to discuss?" ”

Liu Xizi also echoed with some feelings: "Yes, Li Congyi is only in his teens, he can't be in peace, he can't be in the country, and he doesn't have any influence and appeal, talk to him about state affairs, Master Gao, what are you kidding?" ”

Gao Zixi said: "Two, there is nothing strange about this, what is the situation in the Central Plains now, I think you know it better than me, the reason why Lord Xiao is now inviting Li Congyi to Kaifeng to discuss state affairs is to see that this general trend has gone, and he is afraid that after he leaves, the Central Plains will have no owner and the way back will be blocked, so you don't need to make a fuss about this plan that you came up with in this no way." ”

"So that's the case," Liu Xi understood what was going on, and immediately had the idea of leaving, and after pondering for a while, he randomly called Yelu Wuxing outside and told him his idea of leaving.

Yelu Wuxing also had the idea of leaving, and when he suddenly heard it, he hit it off, and randomly agreed to it, and the two turned around and returned to the room, and immediately proposed to Gao Zixi the idea of following him back to Kaifeng.

When Gao Zixi heard this, he didn't say a word, and immediately agreed, "Okay, there's no problem, then let's go to Li Congyi," the three of them went out of the mansion and greeted Li Congyi's mother and son.

Xu Wang Li Congyi is the youngest son of Li Siyuan of Tang Mingzong, living with his mother Wang Youmei in Luoyang City, that Wang Youmei was young because of the appearance of the flower and the moon, beautiful as a fairy, people send alias flowers to see shame, Li Congyi's sister Princess Yong'an, a few days ago was just married by Zhao Yanshouqiang, his mother and son are still immersed in joy and sorrow, when suddenly heard that Kaifeng came to someone, I couldn't help but be taken aback, since I thought that Princess Yong'an sent someone to come, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

said that Gao Zixi and the three of them entered the mansion, and after some politeness, they randomly and straightforwardly said their intentions.

It is said that Li Congyi's mother, Wang Youmei, couldn't help but be taken aback when she knew that Xiao Han wanted her son Li Congyi to learn from Shi Jingjiao to be the emperor, knowing that she was a remnant of the country, with no soldiers and no generals in her hands, and there was no way to control the world, so she hurriedly refused: "Adults, I'm sorry, my son is too young to take on this big responsibility, please go back and find someone else." ”

Gao Zixi persuaded and said: "Queen Mother, all this is the will of the King of Liao, and if you disobey the order, you will be killed." ”

When Wang Youmei heard this, she couldn't help but be taken aback, frowned, and immediately took it to heart, and said euphemistically: "That's it, my lord, then please go back first, let us clean up, and I'll be with you tomorrow, okay?" ”

"Okay, then you can pack up and prepare, tomorrow morning, we will come to pick you up," Gao Zixi said, and the three of them walked out of the courtyard, knowing that Li Congyi had nowhere to hide in Luoyang City, nowhere to hide, and he didn't even let go of a guard in front and back of the Li Mansion, so he happily returned to the mansion, drank and waited.

It is said that Yelu fearless thought that he would return to Kaifeng tomorrow, and on the way back, he couldn't help but tell his apprentice Xiao Qi the decision to return to Kaifeng tomorrow, and Yelugui and they went.

When Xiao Qi and Ye Lugui heard this, they were happy, and then conveyed the news to the following.

When the soldiers found out, they were overjoyed, and with their whispers, they began to pack their luggage. Leave it at that.

Looking back, Wang Youmei knew that he was the remnants of the country, and there was no capital to control the world in his hands, so he did not forgive his son to Kaifeng to send him to death, watched Gao Zixi and them leave, turned around and told the housekeeper to prepare the carriage, returned home, cleaned up briefly, and explained his whereabouts to his family, and then, while the sky was not completely dark, he pulled his son Li Congyi out of the courtyard gate, got on the sedan chair, and went out of the city, and then ordered the coachman to drive away to Huiling to hide. (Huiling is the mausoleum of Li Siyuan of Tang Mingzong, in the southwest of Huzhuang Village, Mengjin Songzhuang Township.) Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the sky had just dawned, Yelu fearless, who had been making noise for most of the night, Gao Zixi and they had not yet gotten up from the bed, and the generals who had known that they were going back to Kaifeng today had gotten up from bed early, and they didn't care that others had not woken up, and then they were like bandits entering the village, shouting and making noise to clean up.

Saying that Gao Zixi, Yelu fearless, Liu Xi and others were woken up in their sleep, they were surprised, and when they came in, they hurriedly got up from the bed, and when they went out and saw that the soldiers were messing up and preparing, the heart of the mention was immediately put down, after freshening up and eating breakfast, regardless of the agreed time had not arrived, in an instant, the team was assembled, and they welcomed Li Congyi's mother and son with great fanfare.

The streets were deserted and silent, and there was no one.

It is said that Gao Zixi led the team to the door of the Li Mansion first, and when he saw that the gate had not yet opened, he did not hesitate, and waved his hand to order the attendant Gao Qiqi to call the door.

When Gao Qiqi heard the sound, he didn't hesitate, turned over and dismounted, and immediately strode forward, and shouted loudly "Open the door, open the door, open the door" while banging on the door.

"Who, here, here, come," with a reply, after a short time, the courtyard door opened, followed by an old man, the gatekeeper walked out, and asked in surprise: "Who are you, who are you looking for?" ”

Gao Qiqi said sharply: "Who are you looking for, pretending to be confused, quickly call your master out." ”

"Alas, I see, I'm sorry, my master went out yesterday and they haven't come back yet." The court responded:

"What," Gao Qiqi couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

"My lord, my master went out yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

"yes, when are they going out and where are they going?"

"Just yesterday after you left, they took the car out of the door, as for where to go, this, they didn't say, we are a subordinate, we didn't dare to ask more, so I don't know."

Gao Qiqi saw that he didn't know what to ask, so he didn't ask any further, raised his hand and pointed to the courtyard and said, "You wait," and then turned around and reported to Gao Zixi.

It is said that when Gao Zixi heard that Li Congyi's mother and son went out yesterday and have not come back yet, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and immediately understood what was going on, no need to ask, it must be Li Congyi's mother and son who didn't want to go, and went out to hide, he gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, and decided to find the Li family to track down the whereabouts of Li Congyi's mother and son, and randomly asked Gao Qiqi to enter the house to find the housekeeper.

When Gao Qiqi heard the order, he didn't hesitate, turned around and ordered the doorkeeper to go.

When the public heard the sound of the hospital, he didn't dare to slack off, and led Gao Qiqi into the hospital and notified the housekeeper.

Let's say that the housekeeper of the Li Mansion is surnamed Zhang Huaiyuan, who is in his fifties, and when he heard about the situation, he didn't dare to be slow, and immediately recruited all the men, women, and children of the Li Mansion to his side, and hurriedly followed Gao Qiqi, and then discharged the hospital to meet Gao Zixi.

That Gao Zixi faced the housekeeper Zhang Huaiyuan to see him, and he didn't ask him what his name was, and then asked directly, "Are you the housekeeper of King Xu's Mansion?" ”

"If you go back to Lord Gao, it's me Zhang Huaiyuan." Zhang Huaiyuan said:

Gao Zixi said: "Zhang Huaiyuan, even if you are a housekeeper, you should know where your master went yesterday." ”

"Lord Gao, I don't know about this," Zhang Huaiyuan said:

Gao Zixi said: "I don't know, Zhang Huaiyuan, as a housekeeper, where is your master going, how can you not know?" ”

"Lord Gao, for this matter, when they went out, I asked, but they didn't tell me, they only said that they went out to do something, as for nothing else, how could I know." Zhang Huaiyuan argued:

Gao Zixi said: "Zhang Huaiyuan, they haven't come back yet, so why don't you send someone to look for them?" ”

"Lord Gao, for this, I haven't had time to send someone, so you are here." Zhang Huaiyuan said:

Gao Zixi said: "Editor, you make it up for me, I can tell you, Zhang Huaiyuan, you'd better be honest and tell them where they are hiding, otherwise, there will be no good fruit for you to eat." ”

"Master Gao, what I said is true, I don't believe you can ask them." Zhang Huaiyuan said:

When the family members heard this, they immediately testified: "Lord Gao, Steward Zhang, what he said is right, King Xu and they went out, and they really told us everything." ”

"Really, I can tell you that King Xu must go with us today, and if you are stubborn and refuse to cooperate with them to tell them where they are hiding, I will be unkind to you."

"Tall, we really don't know." Zhang Huaiyuan said:

Gao Zixi said: "Okay, I admire your strength, come on, give the butler the sweetness first, let him know how powerful." ”

"Yes," with a promise, five or six subordinates immediately rushed out, regardless of Zhang Huaiyuan's age, grabbed Zhang Huaiyuan and put him on the ground, picked up the wooden stick, and opened it violently.

That Zhang Huaiyuan had suffered this crime, so painful that when he stood on his own, he howled like a pig and begged for mercy. "Master Gao, please spare me, I really don't know, I want to know where, I won't say nothing."

When those Li family members saw Zhang Huaiyuan dead and alive, they were shocked, and their souls were scattered, and they immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy in a loud voice, "Lord Gao, please let our housekeeper go, we really don't know, otherwise, we won't fail to tell you." ”

Let's say that Yelu is fearless When he saw Zhang Huaiyuan dead or alive, he didn't say anything, seeing that he Zhang Huaiyuan was definitely not a person who kept secrets and didn't want his own life, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the torture, and asked unhurriedly: "Zhang Huaiyuan, you said you don't know where they went, so who do Li Congyi's mother and son usually walk around?" ”

"Well, my lord, they hardly go out on a regular basis, and no one has anything to do with them at all." Zhang Huaiyuan said:

Yelu said fearlessly: "Zhang Huaiyuan, even if they don't have anything to do with anyone, how can they go out for a night and not, you'd better answer honestly, otherwise, if you continue to be stubborn, your life will be over." ”

"My lord, what I said is true, you don't think about it, people like them, who would do them to walk around, so they usually don't walk around with others," Zhang Huaiyuan said aggrievedly:

Yelu fearlessly said angrily: "Zhang Huaiyuan, they don't usually interact with others, don't they move around during the New Year's holidays?" ”

"My lord, you don't know about the situation of my master, except for going to Huiling to worship and burn paper during the New Year's holidays, my master really doesn't walk around with outsiders." Zhang Huaiyuan said:

Yelu said fearlessly: "Zhang Huaiyuan, so to speak, your master has no place to go in this Luoyang City." ”

"Yes, my lord, they usually go to other places besides going to Huiling." Zhang Huaiyuan said:

"Okay, I know where they are hiding now," Yelu Wuxing guessed Li Congyi's hiding place from Zhang Huaiyuan's explanation, turned around and told Gao Zixi to go.

It is said that when Gao Zixi heard that Li Congyi's mother and son had fled to Huiling to hide in order to avoid going to Kaifeng, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Mengjin is located in the north of Luoyang City, south of the Yellow River, since ancient times for the treasure land of feng shui, its Huiling is located in the east of Mengjin.

It is said that Gao Zixi led the team to Mengjin quickly, and after sending people to surround the Huiling Tomb, he immediately personally led people into the cemetery to search for Li Congyi's mother and son.

It is said that Wang Youmei and Li Congyi, who were hiding in the Huiling Cemetery, were gossiping in the tomb keeper's house, and when Gao Zixi and them suddenly appeared in front of them, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and without waiting for Gao Zixi to speak, they immediately refused, "Lord Gao, you don't have to say anything, you go, we won't go with you." ”

Gao Zixi said bluntly: "Guotai, why do you want to go to this thing where the cake falls from the sky and you get it for nothing, I advise you not to be obsessed, for the sake of your son's future, come with us." ”

"Lord Gao, thank you for your kindness, but the reality is not what you are with, we have no soldiers and no generals in our hands, and we can't rule the world at all, don't embarrass us, my son can't bear that heavy responsibility." Wang Youmei pleaded:

Gao Zixi said: "Guotai, what kind of confusion are you making, how did Shi Jingjiao occupy the world of your family back then, and now the King of Liao has returned it to your family, what are you afraid of, you are talking about Lord Xiao, I will not send troops to protect you, please get in the car and follow us." ”

"Master Gao, please, let us go, my son is young, he can't take on this great responsibility." Wang Youmei said:

Gao Zixi saw that he didn't eat, and in an instant, he issued an ultimatum, "Okay, even if you don't listen to good words, then tell the truth, you have to go today, you have to go, you have to go if you don't go, there is nothing negotiable, you can do it yourself and prepare the car." ”

"Master Gao, don't force us, we can't go." Wang Youmei said:

"Okay, Guotai, even if you don't give face, then it's no wonder to me," Gao Zixi saw that Wang Youmei still didn't agree, and he didn't have to persuade him, so he immediately passed down the order, "Qiqi, please Guotai and them get in the car." ”

"Yes," Gao Qiqi agreed and led the five people to rush forward and arrest Li Congyi.

It is said that although Wang Youmei knew that going to Kaifeng was a curse or a blessing, but in view of the current situation, she knew that she could not avoid it, and in an instant, she shouted loudly: "Stop, let's go with you, okay." ”

After Gao Qiqi and the five people were suddenly reprimanded, they were stunned for a while, and they didn't know what to do.

Gao Zixi was happy in his heart when he saw it, and after waving his hand to order Gao Qiqi and them to exit the room, he stepped forward and invited him to go, "Guotai, now that you have agreed to go with us, then please get in the car." ”

Wang Youmei saw that she couldn't resist, so she didn't say much, and for a while, without saying a word, she pulled her son out of the room, got into the carriage, and got into the sedan car.

Gao Zixi was very happy when he saw it, he got out of the door, turned over and got on the horse, and then returned to Luoyang City, and immediately set off, quickly whipped his horse, and went to Kaifeng non-stop.

That Yelu was fearless, Liu Xi and they would not recognize the situation and not leave in view of the situation that Xiao Han was about to leave, so they also beat their horses and followed them to Kaifeng.

It is said that Xiao Han saw that after Li Congyi's mother and son arrived, he was in a hurry to leave and return to his hometown, he was happy, and at three o'clock in the fifth watch the next day, he sent troops to support Li Congyi, drove to Chongyuan Palace, and accepted the congratulations of hundreds of officials.

Although Wang Youmei knew that it was a curse or a blessing for his son to be this puppet emperor, he was helpless.

Li Congyi was only seventeen years old, he had never experienced this, trembling, walking on thin ice, after accepting the greetings and congratulations of Xiao Han and the ministers, he announced his retirement and returned to the palace.

But said that after Xiao Han dealt with everything, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard that Liu Zhiyuan in Hedong had gone south along the Fenshui, with Liu Zuo, the general who stayed behind, led thousands of troops to protect Li Congyi, and he didn't care about the situation that Li Congyi's mother and son had no soldiers and no generals, and nothing was gained, how to deal with Liu Zhiyuan, and immediately led the troops north and returned to his hometown.

When someone entered the report, Liu Zhiyuan of Hedong had arrived in Jiangzhou, and when he led the army to the east, she was restless day and night, anxious, and she was unwilling to be captured, sat and waited, and sent this unearned country out in vain. "Ministers, my mother and son were originally people who lost the country, but now they are forced by Xiao Han, and they have come to this point again, now the soldiers from Hedong are coming, how will you deal with this matter?"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other for a while, and then they gossiped and made suggestions. “...... Guotai, you don't have to worry about this, the Hedong soldiers came from afar, not to mention tired, and the grain and grass are bound to be unable to be supplied, now we just need to mobilize Gao Xingzhou, the envoy of the Songzhou Jiedu, and Wu Xingde, etc., and the Heyang Jiedu envoy Wu Xingde and so on to mobilize here, and General Liu Zuo will resist together, wait for work, and hold on for a month, and he General Xiao Han will lead the troops to arrive, and when the time comes, everything will be worry-free. ”

Wang Youmei heard the plan, he was happy, and immediately sent someone to summon Gao Xingzhou, the envoy of Songzhou Jiedu, and Wu Xingde and others to Heyang Jiedu, however, it backfired, and he never thought that he would send people to the Quartet many times to persuade him, and when he did not see anyone with troops, Wang Youmei was arrogant and disappointed, and he was immediately deflated.

The ministers never expected that the result would be like this, and for a while, they were speechless and had no ideas.

However, when Wang Youmei and his ministers were full of sorrow, had no tricks or styles, and did not know how to take measures, Liu Zhiyuan's message of consolation to the officials and people of Biancheng came from Luoyang again.

It is said that after those ministers read the text, when they saw that they did not investigate or say anything about the officials granted by the Liao lord, and their official positions were not reduced or promoted, everything was as usual, and they ensured that their glory and wealth would not be lost, and they were not giving advice to Li Congyi, and they had come up with ideas.

When Wang Youmei saw that the ministers changed their faces faster than flipping books for their own interests, she also looked up to the sky and sighed, helpless, knowing that orphans and widows could not compete for the world, so she sent an envoy to Luoyang to welcome Liu Zhiyuan.

Looking back, when they were sending people around to collect grain and grass in Fuju, while actively preparing for the cloud ladder preparing to attack the city, when they heard that Yelu was fearless, and Liu Xi and they had abandoned the city and fled from Mengjin and Yanshi because they were afraid of Liu Zhiyuan in Hedong, they were indescribably happy, and when they heard that there was no one to manage the city, murder and arson, theft and robbery, endless and everywhere, they did not slow down, and immediately led the team to enter the city to maintain order.

It is said that after they entered Luoyang City, they were not merciful and soft-hearted for murder and arson, theft and robbery, and after a drastic rectification, within two days, the order was in order, and there was no longer any burning, killing and looting.

Not long ago, when they heard that Liu Zhiyuan and they came to Luoyang, Fuju led Zhou Chengming, Guo Dongxu and them, went out of the city to follow the civil and military officials of Liangjing, and went to Xin'an to meet him.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next time.
