Among the Seven Kingdoms of the Nine Abysses, the Later Tang and Later Zhou were the most powerful. However, both countries have the ambition of unifying the nine abysses, and even have friction with each other, and they will not give up an inch of land.

By the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, the turmoil of the late Tang Dynasty, and the princes from all over the country raised troops, this land has become an ideal fertile ground for the people of the world to show their strength and realize their ambitions. It's just that this dream of unifying the Nine Abysses has been mentioned since Hou Liang, but Zhu Wen is absurd and unreasonable, and his son Zhu Youqi has no heart to win, so he lost the support of the people before Li Ke and ended up miserable.

If it weren't for that, Li Keyong's family would be Li Tangci's imperial surname, but foreign barbarians, how could they sit firmly in the Tang Dynasty? It's just that Li Ke used this person to be shrewd and forbearing, and was willing to continue the establishment of the Later Tang Dynasty and take the restoration of the Later Tang Dynasty as his own responsibility, which led to the subsequent Li Cunqiao leading his troops to destroy the Later Liang and laying the pattern of the Nine Abyss and Seven Kingdoms in one fell swoop.

It's just that Hou Zhou has been outside the Nine Abyss and Seven Kingdoms since the Tang Dynasty, and he has not shown the slightest ambition. At that time, all countries attached themselves to Houliang and bowed their heads to courtiers, and there was nothing out of the ordinary in the Later Zhou. It was only with the collapse of the rear beam that it rose up to fight against the Later Tang Dynasty.

If the two countries are far apart, it is just that, although they are eyeing each other, they can look at each other across the sea. However, the two countries are close to each other, and there are many disputes on the border. The Later Tang Dynasty is located in the clouds and the two abysses of secluded houses, with a vast territory and abundant products. Although there is a distance from the north of the desert, there is also the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. In the clouds, there is more "the sun flowers stretch for thousands of miles, the old decay is rejuvenation" reputation, the climate is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful.

It's just that inside the pass here, it is separated by Luoyang, but outside the pass is the land of Longxi, with poor mountains and bad waters, mountains and mountains, and there are rumors of mountain spirits and wild monsters. Thousands of miles northwest of Longxi is Mobei. Here borders with Houzhou, there is the name of inaccessibility, perennial flying sand and stones, sunrise and sunset snow, people are daunted.

But here is perennially entrenched in the elite of the Later Tang Dynasty, and the elite here is directly ordered by Luoyang, if it is not for the autumn of critical survival, there will never be any action. Therefore, many years ago, when Gu Yanxun's class returned to the dynasty, he was suspicious of the rivers and lakes and temples, and this person was already rebellious. Later, Gu's mansion was wiped out, which made the world even more convinced that this was a fight overnight.

It's just that the class teacher returned to the dynasty and fell, and the Later Tang Sheji was still stable. But with Gu Yanxun's star falling, Mobei's situation is in jeopardy. Li Cunxuan of Luoyang tried his best to disagree with the public and sent his most powerful general to Mobei, so that he could hold the thirteen attacks of the Iron Hoof of Hou Zhou.

These thirteen victories forged with flesh and blood were later talked about and passed down as good stories. It's just that later, with the passage of time, it has been buried in the dust of history, and no one has mentioned it again. But just when everyone thought that the battle of Luoyang and the return of King Qin of Mobei Xiongshi to the dynasty, the army stationed in Mobei still did not move at all, until Luoyang turned from danger to safety, Li Cunqiao announced to the world that the Mobei iron armor was still there.

This undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Li Siyuan, who had been on the border for many years!

Most of the land north of Luoyang is divided into Li Siyuan's fiefdom, which is Li Keyong's deathbed. In order to assist Li Cunqiao in ascending to the throne, Li Keyong could only use this method of sealing and coming to Li Siyuan to "lock" Li Siyuan in the distance of Longxi. But as the years go by, Li Siyuan is unwilling to be lonely and ready to move.

For some reason, in recent years, the action has become more and more frequent. In addition to constantly mobilizing the hidden piles in the Later Tang Dynasty, he also enveloped several other countries, promising great benefits to swallow the Later Tang Dynasty alive.

Remembering Chu, once upon a time it was just a land of projectiles, the abyss of the desert, full of barrenness. But this has also created the perseverance of Yichu people. Although Yichu is poor in resources, it has the heart to recover Western Chu, and the Han Dynasty at that time was thousands of miles long, and it has never extinguished the flame in the hearts of those who remember Chu.

It wasn't until the Seven Kingdoms of the Nine Abyss were divided and ruled that Yichu finally ushered in the dawn that belonged to them. After years of forbearance and dormancy, there are arrangements in the Later Tang Dynasty and Later Zhou, just waiting for an order, you can raise your arms and breathe. It's just that Yi Chu is a step late, and Hou Zhou has already seen through their ambitions, and he knows the benefits and disadvantages, and promises to win them over with great profits, so as to ensure that Yi Chu will not stab him in the back when Hou Zhou makes a move.

The land of Houzhou is called Fuhai. It is named because of the large number of islands and the scarcity of land. The mayfly once crossed it, but it saw the boundlessness and didn't know where to go. It was supported by the immortals and flew over, knowing that his life was just a dream.

As an island nation, everyone is at risk. It is not as vast as the Later Tang Dynasty and rich in products. Later Zhou was barren and could only survive by plundering. Only in the border with the Later Tang Dynasty, there is a vast land, but it is a cold place, and not a single grass grows. Therefore, beyond Mobei is a void, not empty, but the Later Tang Xiongbing has never set foot in it.

The people from outside Mobei are all tenacious people, and the lord of the Later Zhou Dynasty made a heavy oath when the Later Tang Dynasty rose, and one day he would lead the people under his knees to enjoy the prosperity of the Later Tang Dynasty. In the eyes of the Later Zhou people, the people of the Later Tang Dynasty did not deserve such a gift from heaven at all, they just got great luck at the right time to be able to subvert the Later Liang and win the Jiuyuan.

In this way, the two sides are at loggerheads. Later Zhou, troops were constantly sent to invade the Mobei border, for that mouthful of hot food and the scorching sun hanging above his head forever. In their hearts, the reason why the Later Tang Dynasty is so prosperous is that there is a scorching sun hanging on top of it, and it continues to give gifts. And they only have the endless winter days, constantly beating their bodies and beliefs.

All this, Gu Xing does not know. It's just that after the three of them confirmed the identity of Xie Gelao, Chen Fusheng spoke eloquently without hurry, and used the most concise words to make the contradictions between the Later Tang Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty transparent. Even Ran Qi couldn't help but admire Chen Fusheng's profound knowledge and unique insights.

This dusty story for many years was dug up at this time. What is in front of everyone's eyes is a bloody reality, will Elder Xie Ge put it into action and use madness to subvert Longshou County and subvert the Later Tang Dynasty?

They didn't dare to continue to think about it, Gu Xing looked at Ran Junshou, who was already full of wind and frost at this time. And Chen Fusheng closed his lips tightly, his brows tightened, and he didn't know if he was thinking about his next move. Just as everyone was hesitating, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door from far and near. Before the three of them could speak, the person outside the door had already said loudly: "Lord County Shou is not good, Yixiangyuan has suffered an accident, please go quickly." ”

Ran Qi was shocked when he heard this, Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng frowned, and the three of them looked at the door of the inner hall together, for fear that this person would push the door in. At this time, they didn't know the identity of the person who came, or the secret stake sent by the three of them to spy on them.

Ran Qi thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" Hurry up. ”

The person who came did not hesitate, and said urgently: "Captain Yuan led his troops to Yixiangyuan, saying that he wanted to investigate the truth and truth. But unexpectedly, the ambush was encountered, and at this time the two parties were fighting, and it seemed that the person who was ambushing was ......" said this, but the soldier who came to report did not continue, as if there was something unspeakable.

Ran Qi snorted coldly and shouted: "It's not fast, what kind of system does my mother-in-law become." ”

The person outside the door obviously chuckled, and hurriedly continued: "The person who ambushed is the retainer of Xie Gelao, a wealthy merchant in the city. ”

Ran Qi was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then said, "I know, you go down first." The person outside the door hesitated slightly, but still got up and left with his fists clenched.

It's just that this person didn't go far, and when he walked out of the courtyard gate, he was dodged into another path, came to a secluded place, and hugged his fists at another bearded man and said, "Lord Qiqi Messenger, I have told the truth." ”

The bearded man was looking up at the sky with his arms around his chest at this time, as if he was thoughtful. Hearing the words of the visitor, he never withdrew his gaze, but asked indifferently, "What did Ran Junshou say?" ”

"The county warden didn't order someone to be sent, but just said, 'I know.'" The soldier who reported the report repeated the words of the general Ran Junshou, and the bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then his face sank like water, "In this way, he doesn't care about this matter. By the way, is there any news about Miss Siyan? ”

The soldier immediately shook his head, but continued to add: "I heard from the brothers who came back from the change of guard that Captain Yuan captured three fine workers, and one of them was a woman, who was extraordinarily smart, that figure, that appearance was ......" The soldier's eyebrows fluttered, but he saw that the bearded man's face gradually sank, and he unconsciously closed his mouth.

At this time, the soldier only felt an invisible murderous aura rushing towards his face, and then he heard a cold voice, "Have you ever heard where to press?" ”

The soldier fell to his knees with a thud, and said timidly: "I have never heard that the group of brothers said that Captain Yuan took three people around the city for a week, and did not let them follow, and only brought a few personal guards. ”

"Where are those people?" The bearded man asked patiently.

"In ...... In Yee Heung Court. When the soldier had finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground and trembled.

Seeing that the bearded man was about to draw his sword, the soldier hurriedly added: "Today, Xie Ge Lao is hosting a banquet at Yee Heung Yuan, and Lord Yuen Long went to congratulate him, and by the way, he caught three fine workers. At this time, I turned back and fought with people. ”

The bearded man put back the half-inch sword, lifted the soldier, and shouted: "You hurry up to Yixiangyuan now, send the news back, go quickly!" As he spoke, he threw the soldier out like a chicken, and with the sound of a heavy landing, the bearded man muttered to himself, "Is it really impossible to fall to the enemy?" ”

At this time, the three people in the courtyard were even more anxious like ants on a hot pot, and Gu Xing and Chen Fusheng were naturally worried about Tong hating bamboo. This son is shrewd by nature, but he is a character who refuses to admit defeat. If you confront a few wicked people who don't deal with them, I'm afraid you will already be in a different place.

But Ran Qi was worried about Yuen Long, he was the only cronie by his side at this time, and he was the junior who was usually entrusted to his care, so he couldn't say anything to make him have any mistakes. What's more, at this time, the safety of Longshou County is all related to this person, if it is really unfortunate to die here, won't Longshou County be overturned in one day?

Thinking of this, Ran Junshou suddenly got up and wanted to rush out the door. But he was stopped by Chen Fusheng, "No, I'll wait for the disguise to go and find out." ”
