The so-called disappearance of Puwang Li Renzhong was actually trapped in the Zhejia army, and in the end, this guy saw that the general trend had gone, coupled with his daughter's persuasion, he still accepted the arrangement of fate in a helpless situation.

In fact, Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, thought about it after the emperor Li Qianshun was captured, and the era of confrontation between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty had passed, and he was destined to survive and become a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. Anyway, it was also a vassal state of the Liao State before, but now it is just a change of suzerain. Besides, the operator of all this is his own son-in-law, so what's the point of fighting in this case. In addition, the crown prince Li Renai is dead, and the new prince has not yet been born, which means that he can be in power for more than ten years as a regent, how can Li Renzhong report his refusal?

Puwang Li Renzhong has been in power for many years, and he took over very quickly, he quickly controlled the situation in Xingqing Mansion, and swept away the strength of Yiwang Li Renkai with a thunderous momentum, for this guy, the life and death of Yiwang is no longer important, anyway, once he enters the palace, there is absolutely no possibility of coming out.

Sure enough, not long after King Yi Li Renkai entered the palace, he encountered Yan Shun and others, and this fierce battle lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, and the head of this unlucky careerist was cut off.

Queen Yelu Nanxian is no longer interested in these, she now only has the newborn son of seven catties and four taels in her heart, named Li Ailong, and the little guy was canonized as the prince as soon as he was born.

There is a crown prince, then there is no need for Li Qianshun to stay, and this unlucky emperor was finally poisoned. Li Renzhong, the king of Pu, served as the regent and led the government.

Empress Yelu Nanxian didn't think about taking care of the government anymore, because she knew that as long as her son was over fourteen years old, Liu Zhenglong would definitely assist her son to ascend to the throne.

The matter of Western Xia finally came to an end, and it was destined that the Longwei army led by Yue Fei did not destroy the imperial army in the end, and Yue Fei returned to Yinshan again. It was only this time that Yue Fei really understood why the Long Wei Army was stationed in Yinshan, and the Long Wei Army was also stationed here, so that he would not be harassed by other factors.

When it comes to harassment, it's obviously a bit low, but in fact, it should be bullet pressure and suppression. Li Bangyan has no other skills, but there is a set of ways to loot money, and it is not too much to scrape the ground. Before this guy came to the northwest, it can be said that he visited all the important ministers of the court, and he basically understood what the attitude of the official family was.

Suppression, with strong suppression to complete the cutting between the Northwest Jiangmen and Liu Zhenglong, this is Li Bangyan's task, in any case, the Northwest Military Gate has existed in a relatively isolated state for more than a hundred years, which can be regarded as helping the imperial court to guard the border pass. Even Tong Guan, the privy envoy, did not change this state, but Liu Zhenglong changed all this, which is the biggest taboo in the imperial court.

Extorting money, a seemingly simple task, was found to be an almost impossible task after Li Bangyan's arrival. The northwest frontier is too barren, and the northwest generals are trying every means to reach out and ask for money from the court, how can outsiders be allowed to extort money in this case?

Li Bangyan, who touched the nail as soon as he came up, quickly sorted out the doorway, and it was obvious that he could not kill all the Northwest generals with one stroke, and he should win over some of them, and then suppress some of them, which may be the most realistic.

Who to woo? Just when Li Bangyan didn't know who to woo, Yao Pingzhong took the initiative to send it to the door.

Yao Pingzhong had long known that Li Bangyan was greedy for money, and this guy had prepared a very heavy gift, and he saluted and said: "Li Xiang patrols the northwest, which is the honor of our Yao family's army, and I hope Li Xiang, you can inspect our Yao family's army's station." ”

Li Bangyan had long known that Yao Pingzhong's residence was relatively barren, and of course he didn't want to go, so he said with a smile: "I'm not busy, since I'm here, let's stay and have a drink first, and then you can talk to Ben Xiang about the situation in the Northwest Jiangmen, the more detailed the better." ”

Yao Pingzhong had already studied Li Bangyan's personality, and he could guess what this flower was mainly doing in the northwest this time. He knew that because of Tong Guan, he had never entered Liu Zhenglong's eyes, and of course he wanted to hug Li Bangyan's thigh this time.

In fact, it's not that Yao Pingzhong is a snob, he likes flattery, but the station is too barren, and he has always relied on the reception of the imperial court to survive, and there is still a big gap between this and other generals. On the contrary, Yao Pingzhong, who has a small captain, is still full of backbone, and there is no way for him to choose, with few troops, small territory, small influence, and weak foundation, which is still very far from other generals.

Yao Pingzhong carefully introduced the situation in the northwest to Li Bangyan, focusing on Liu Zhenglong's glorious achievements in the northwest, so he mainly conveyed two messages, the first message is that Liu Zhenglong has a huge influence on other generals, and the second message is that he Yao Pingzhong disdains flattery to Liu Zhenglong.

Li Bangyan is not interested in any of these, the most interesting thing is the silver mine, the hidden wealth in it is self-evident, and his first reaction is to get involved.

"General Yao, if you have time, how about taking Benxiang to visit that silver mine?"

"This is not very convenient, mainly because the silver mine belongs to Lord Liu, and Liu Zhongwu also has a certain share, in Liu Zhongwu's territory, I am obviously not suitable in the past."

Yao Pingzhong wants to tie up Li Bangyan, but it doesn't mean that he has the courage to provoke the northwest forces to rank second, second only to Liu Zhongwu, the gap between the two is huge, even if there is Li Bangyan's support, he may not be able to compete with Liu Zhongwu, you must know that this guy and Liu Fa, Liu Qi is known as the three Lius in the northwest, and the relationship between the three families is very good.

After Yao Pingzhong's introduction, Li Bangyan had a simple understanding of the Northwest Jiangmen, and he didn't want to provoke the Northwest Sanliu rashly, so he decided to win over Yao Pingzhong, Qu Duan, Seed Master Dao and Yang Zhengling first, and then find a way to suppress the Northwest Sanliu.

Li Bangyan has done all the bad things in the northwest, but unfortunately he can only suppress the three Lius in the northwest, but there is no way to suppress the discount, because this old fox has been prepared early, and the Zhejia army has already settled in the Xixia Milli tribe, and the meaning is very clear, as long as the suppression is too strong, the Zhejia army is very likely to break away from the Great Song Dynasty.

The possibility of the Zhejia army breaking away from the Great Song Dynasty is almost zero, but once this move is made, then the imperial court will definitely punish Li Bangyan, this is the most cunning place of Zhe Keqiu, which is equivalent to digging a pit to make Li Bangyan jump.

Now Liu Zhenglong is beyond the reach of the whip, even if Li Bangyan suppresses the folding family, he can't interfere. As long as Hebron's new army is stationed in Yunzhou, it will not be suppressed, and Yue Fei will not have a problem stationed in Yinshan.

There are basically no major problems in the northwest, if Li Bangyan starts there, one is the silver mine, and the other is the silver mine. Liu Zhenglong doesn't care very much about these two pieces, first of all, he is not short of money, and secondly, he has shares of the Liu family, not only that the prince also has shares, but also involves the Western Xia side, if Li Bangyan makes a very outrageous trouble, it will be self-defeating. As for the silver mine, there are no three Lius in the northwest, so it depends on whether Li Bangyan can suppress the three Lius.

When he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Zhenglong traveled very slowly, mainly to see the progress in the northwest, and to see how far Li Bangyan could go in the battle between the northwest and Sanliu for the silver mine. After all, at the critical moment, Li Bangyan still gave up the field, after all, it was involved in the Western Xia, and it was more troublesome to operate, and it involved the prince, so it would cause big trouble. Comparatively speaking, the odds of winning against the Northwest Sanliu are still very good.

The reason why the marching speed is slow is not all for the northwest, the most important thing is that Liu Zhenglong is not sure whether to take Wang Yin or Li Zhu, both of whom are geniuses of the world, with extremely high military accomplishments, and they can lead the team alone, and they can be used against the Jin army in the future. Besides, the two have been fighting each other for more than half a year, so it's time to get to know each other.

In the past six months, Li Zhu's 100,000 army and Wang Yin fought three times, and there were countless small battles, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but there was never a winner or loser, and no one could help the other party, so it could only be said that both sides were defeated.

The dragon fights, and if the final result is not good, it will end up together, which is not the result that Li Zhu wants, and of course Wang Yin does not want such a result. No one can afford to lose in a word.

During this time, Wang Yin and Li Zhu both understood that the officers and soldiers could be counted in the battle group at any time to end the battle, and no matter the officers and troops joined the other side, they would be absolutely crushed on the other side.

Wang Yin knew that Liu Zhenglong was testing his ability, after all, a thousand troops were easy to obtain, and it was not difficult to find a general. If you can't defeat Li Zhu, then you won't have a status in the official army, and if you want to prove yourself, you can only defeat Li Zhu.

When you meet an opponent, it is difficult to solve. Li Zhu and Wang Yin were so inseparable that they couldn't tell the winner at all, and when the two sides were riding tigers, Liu Zhenglong arrived.

After listening to Lu Junyi's report, Liu Zhenglong said: "Lu Yuanwai, what do you think of the ability of the two? ”

Lu Junyi pondered for a long time and said: "Wang Yin, steady and steady, very sophisticated, outstanding ability to lead troops, and unique in arranging troops. And Li Zhu is good at swordsmanship, scheming, and eclectic use of soldiers, and the two are really comparable. Wang Yin is a bit similar to Wu Anjun Baiqi, good at fighting annihilation wars, good at using terrain, able to deploy troops on a large scale, and has strong sports combat ability. Li Zhu is a bit similar to Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, who is good at winning by surprise, not sticking to military books, flexible and unpredictable. ”

"Okay, I know, you can arrange it, I want to see Li Zhu alone, I believe that this Mr. Jin Jian also wants to come to see his father." Liu Zhenglong knew what Li Zhu was waiting for, that is, he would defeat Wang Yin, so that he could take refuge in himself and serve the court, but now that the two of them have failed to meet each other, there is no need to kill both of them. He said: "After all, the Duan family brothers are still in the army, so it is better to be hidden in this matter." ”

Seeing Li Zhu alone, it seemed like an impossible task, but Lu Junyi still thought of seeing a way, after all, he had already figured out the details of Li Zhu, as long as it was properly arranged, it would not be difficult for this guy to come to see the lord.

In a tavern ten miles away from the battlefield, Liu Zhenglong finally met the legendary Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu.

"I've heard Mr. Jin Jian's name for a long time, and it's really extraordinary when I see it today." Liu Zhenglong took the lead in greeting Li Zhu, and he said with a smile: "This official is going south to Guangzhou, and he is just passing by today, so he specially visited Mr. ”

At this time, everything is polite, but these polite words cannot be omitted, Li Zhu said: "Li Zhu, the grass people, have seen Grandpa Guo." ”

"Please, let's have a drink and talk."

It's obviously drinking tea, after all, one is an official and the other is a Kou, if you meet for the first time, it's too inappropriate to drink.

Liu Zhenglong also didn't like to go around in circles, he said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Jin Jian was born as a Jinshi, why did he not go to the official career in the end, but went astray?" ”

"It's hard to put into words." This is a piece of Li Zhu's heart, he never mentions it to anyone on weekdays, but today he decided to say it, he said helplessly: "The six thieves in the court are in charge, the officialdom is extremely dark, and I am deceitful. Originally, he was a student in Luzhou, but he had no choice but to offend the 'King of the Southeast' Zhu Mian, who was almost locked up and imprisoned, and then met Chu, oh, no, it should have been Wang Qing, so he did this humiliating deed. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhu's face was full of helplessness. After all, he was born as a literati, and in this Great Song Dynasty, where scholars and doctors share the world, he could not win his wife and son, but fell into nothing, which is definitely a great shame, and this is the most embarrassing place in his heart.

"So Wang Qing has the grace of knowing you?" Liu Zhenglong heard it, Li Zhu still respected Wang Qing in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have almost called out the King of Chu, but this guy was able to change his words in time, which means that he still doesn't want to be a grass coward in his bones.

The one who is a confidant dies, but Wang Qing is not Li Zhu's confidant, and Li Zhu is not willing to be a thief.

Li Zhu shook his head and said helplessly: "Wang Qing gave me a job, but almost all of his world was fought by me alone, which can be regarded as a reward." However, the kindness of the grandfather of the country, but the grass people are not enough to repay it. ”

"You and I meet for the first time, how can we be gracious?"

"Zhu Mian killed my whole family, kidnapped my wife, and you killed Zhu Mian, which is Li Zhu's recreated parents." Speaking of this, Li Zhu knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Get up, this official killed Zhu Mian, just by following the will of the imperial court, not for the way of heaven, nor for those people." Liu Zhenglong didn't want people to feel how tall he was, he said self-deprecatingly: "I am the Great Song Super Bully, I stood in this position at a young age, even if it was because I was talented, not because I was a protégé of the Son of Heaven, but because I stepped on other people's heads step by step." As soon as he debuted, he occupied the magpie's nest, took Xiaohuanggang, followed by the black and black to win the birth gang, and let Chao Gai and others carry the black pot to the end of the world, and later destroyed Wang Yin and Fang Tianding's assassination plan, used Fang Tianding's head to open the road to promotion, destroyed Zhu Mian, plundered Fang La's wealth, and asked for his daughter and future daughter-in-law by the way, these sins are too many, they are simply too many to write, and this official will no longer list them one by one, in a word, behind my promotion is the blood and tears of countless people. There are too many, some of which you know to the outside world, and some of which the outside world does not know. In fact, half of the dirty water poured on me by the civil official group is true, but now more people are singing praises for me, and I seem to have become the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty. Do you know why? ”

"Then is it true that the king of Chu in the imperial court was sent to the guillotine and married the princess?" Li Zhu couldn't believe his ears, how could a big hero who was rumored to be almost perfect by the outside world become a super bully of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Yes, not only that, forcing Fang La to death, and taking possession of Fang Baihua is also done by me. The whale swallowed the property of the Chai family, and it was also me who possessed Chai Jinjiao. It is also me who occupies the queen Yelu Nanxian and cuckolds the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, and even the little prince of the Western Xia is my child now, there are too many to say. ”

Liu Zhenglong's self-blackening is not wrong in Li Zhu's opinion, and the survival of this Great Song Dynasty super bully is too mysterious, it is simply a history of blood and tears of countless people. Despite this, it does not prevent him from being a big hero and a generation of heroes.

"Then what do you think of Wang Qing, Song Jiang, Fang La, and Tian Hu."

"These four thieves are the same as the six thieves in the imperial court, there is nothing to see, and it is the mission of the officials to destroy them." Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong paused, and he said very domineeringly: "It is only a matter of minutes to destroy the four great Kou, to exterminate Liangshan and leave Song Jiang out, it is only because it is still useful to the official, otherwise, the four great Kou will definitely not be able to withstand it for a year under the encirclement and suppression of the Long Xiang army under the command of the official." ”

"If it weren't for the six thieves of the imperial court who brought disaster to the country and the people, the four great thieves would not exist. Now the common people are living in dire straits, and there is no way to live, so they have to rebel. ”

Li Zhu became more and more unconfident in his heart, he knew that it was difficult for him to convince Liu Zhenglong, but he still hated the corrupt court in his bones.

"Heaven is impermanent, dynasties change, since the Xia Shang, the court is extremely corrupt, and there will be a dynasty change. Without the people of the tyrannical Qin, there would be no Han Gaozu's beheading of the White Snake, no great joy of Emperor Yang of Sui, and no Tang Gaozu would have created the Tang Dynasty. The corruption of the imperial court should be a change of dynasty, not a rampant grass. ”

"What's the difference between the prevalence of grass and the change of dynasty?"

"The difference is big, Han Gaozu Liu Bang has three chapters of the law to capture Xianyang, Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong has a prosperous Tang Dynasty. However, what are the four great cowards, they claim to be doing the right thing for heaven, but in fact, they are not bullying the common people, and they are not the scourge party. Wang Qing himself is a hooligan, and you know better than this official whether the people in his territory live and work in peace and contentment, or are in dire straits. Song Jiang designed to kill Chao Gai, bloodied Zengtou City, bloodbathed Zhujiazhuang, bloodbathed Zhujiazhuang, bloodwashed Jiangzhou, bloodwashed Gaotang Prefecture, this bloody case, what is this for heaven. Fang La did not harm the people, but what holy religion was used to deceive the people, this was the source of the scourge, the common people could have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they were restless and guarded by him and became outcasts. As for the people on Tian Hu's territory, they are displaced and their livelihoods are poor. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong paused for a long time and said: "You and the four great Kou are not all the way, Wang Qing believes in the Duan family brothers, not you as an outsider, this time I have fought fiercely with Wang Yin for so long without winning or losing, I am afraid, once the war is over, it will be your death, the Duan family brothers will not tolerate you, Wang Qing has long been fed up with your self-righteousness, you should know this better than anyone else." ”

"Let me have a showdown with Wang Yin, I'm afraid it's your Lord Liu's idea."

"Yes, otherwise you would have been wiped out a long time ago, don't think it's great in Jiangnan, the four great Kou together are not enough for the Longxiang Army to exterminate."

Liu Zhenglong's face showed the appearance of a king, this kind of domineering that reigns over the world, and who else can not be seen by Wang Qing and others.

"Then why did you do that?"

"This officer needs a commander who fights the world, not a fierce general who charges into battle."

"And what do you need now?" Li Zhu was a little discouraged, he had always felt that he was a genius of the world, a talent who had passed through the heavens and latitudes, and the ambition to stabilize the country, but he didn't meet the talent, but now he found that in the eyes of Lord Liu, he was not so important.

Liu Zhenglong said with a smile: "The dragon fights the tiger, it is comparable, and any injury is the loss of the official." That's why this officer has come to see you. Wang Yin has long been attached to the official, but the official didn't help him destroy you, mainly to see which of the two of you is the touchstone, and only when you duel can you test each other's success. ”

"Did you test it out?"

"One is the future Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, and the other is the future Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin."

"It's a pity that the final result of the two is not good."

"Under this official, there will be no tragedy. The reason why the two of them ended badly was because their master couldn't control it, but for this official, it is still a trivial matter to suppress you, so as long as you can conquer the Quartet, you are destined to be a marquis and a wife. ”

"Swear to follow the lord to the death." Li Zhu is a smart man, and he quickly understood that the man in front of him was not Wang Qingzhi and others, who were destined to fail the Tang Sect and Song Ancestors, and he was worthy of following him to the death.

"Get up, in fact, there are deep-seated reasons why you and Wang Yin are torn apart. This official has always advocated that elite soldiers are good generals, and without elite soldiers, it will be difficult for you to create immortal feats even if you are Han Xinbai in the next life. Now that you have been tearing up for so long, the soldiers have also been trained. ”

Now that Li Zhu surrendered to Chengcheng, Liu Zhenglong no longer concealed anything, he said with a smile: "Wang Yin is responsible for exterminating Wang Qing, you are responsible for purging Song Jiang, and by the way, Duan Er's army is also under your command, it is better to get rid of these two scourges." From now on, the soldiers under your command will be paid according to the standard of the forbidden army, and the death of the army will be paid. ”

Wang Qing's soldiers have no military salary, and what they grab is nothing, and they are still bandits in essence. Now Li Zhu felt that he had finally led his soldiers to the right path.

Liu Zhenglong finally said: "Don't be in a hurry to exterminate Song Jiang, in one year's time, on August 15 of the seventh year of Xuanhe, this official will hold a celebration banquet for you in Guangzhou, and the main work before that is not to suppress bandits, but to train soldiers. The Dragon Army has iron discipline, and I hope you can build an iron army. Those who are unqualified must be eliminated. ”
