The closer he got to Chai Rong's personal expedition to the Northern Expedition, the more Li Zhongyi felt the pressure and did not dare to make a mistake.

If Li Zhongyi loses the power in his hands at the time of the possible change of generations, he is likely to become Zhao Laoer's courtier after a year and a half.

Between brothers and courtiers, Li Zhongyi has a very clear understanding, and his relationship with Zhao Lao Er is definitely not as iron as Shi Shouxin and Murong Yanzhao.

However, not long after Zhao Lao Er took power, he took the opportunity to drive all his brothers back to retire.

If the Northern Song Dynasty can complete its historical mission of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun and ensure the safety of the Central Plains, it is not a matter for Li Zhongyi to hand over his military power at that time, become a rich man, and spend the rest of his life in peace.

It's a pity that the generation of the Zhao family's sons of heaven is not as good as the generation, only cultivating literature and morality, and is extremely hostile to military generals with real skills, which eventually caused the tragedy that there is no China from now on.

Zhao Kuangyin's usurpation of the throne is actually a product of internal and external cooperation, and among Zhou Chen, there are actually many anti-Zhao forces.

The first to bear the brunt is the biggest leader of the forbidden army, Han Tong, followed by Prime Minister Fan Zhen, and Zhou Taizu Guo Wei's nephew Li Chongjin.

Of course, Li Zhongyi also has a natural ally, the commander of the new Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, Uncle Guo, Fu Zhaoxin.

The more than 30,000 war horses brought back by Li Zhongyi from the northwest, as well as 3,000 cavalry, are now in the hands of Fu Zhaoxin.

According to the information revealed by Fu Zhaoxin in private, because the northwest region can supply tens of thousands of good horses every year, the 10,000 cavalry army will eventually expand to more than 30,000 people.

The Fan cavalry brought back by Li Zhongyi, as seed troops and instructors, was responsible for training the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army. This gave him a good opportunity to influence the most powerful agitated force of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In addition, Li Zhongyi single-handedly created an elite infantry army - the Broken Army. It has been reorganized into a forbidden army and is stationed outside the north gate of Kaifeng City.

Meanwhile. Because Chai Rong admired Li Zhongyi's new method of training troops very much, the old subordinates of the Broken Army were all over the forbidden army.

Strictly speaking, although Li Zhongyi is not yet a town, the latent force in the military circles of the Great Zhou is already considerable.

Of course, Li Zhongyi himself did not dare to guarantee that every general of the old broken army. In the end, they will obey his orders.

Li Zhongyi listened silently to everyone's chatter for a while, and most of the later statements were shadowless things, so he had no interest in continuing to listen.

After leaving the tea shop, Li Zhongyi turned all the way along the long street, and at various street intersections along the way, you could see the traces of the brigade patrol.

One of the purposes for Li Zhongyi to go to the street was to see what Cai Zhangbiao had ordered him. Is it against the yang and the yin?

As the boss of Kaifeng Mansion, Li Zhongyi knows very well in his heart that he has a lot of real power at hand, but. The responsibility on the shoulders is also heavy.

Once the three-month grace period has passed, if there is a major problem with law and order, or if a fire causes huge casualties. Li Zhongyi bore the brunt of the attack, and he would definitely be killed by the imperial historians of Wutai. Impeachment on a large scale.

Li Zhongyi is not an immortal, an injury or a homicide. It can happen anytime and anywhere, and he can only find a way to control it as much as possible, but it is impossible to completely eliminate it.

Arson is different, although Li Zhongyi can't stop all the fires, he can find a way to prevent the fire from spreading.

Truth be told, the wooden houses lined with each other on both sides of the street are simply the best friends of fire.

burned several streets and burned many people to death, even if Chai Rong didn't want to pursue it, Li Zhongyi, the parent official, would be drowned by the saliva of Kaifeng citizens.

Li Zhongyi has already turned several streets, but the situation of the field investigation is really not optimistic.

The small wooden buildings on both sides of the street are next to each other, and Li Zhongyi noticed that most of the pillars, windows, and door panels of the small wooden buildings are plastered with red paint, tung oil, or lime, perhaps to prevent moths.

Once this thing sees the open flame and is ignited, it is an excellent combustion-supporting material, Li Zhongyi saw this, and basically understood, no wonder Kaifeng Mansion has been burned down several times in the history of the tragic past of half of the city.

The most powerful fire almost burned the palace to ashes!

When passing through the old Cao Gate, Li Zhongyi found that the ox carts and pedestrians coming and going had blocked the vicinity of the city gate so tightly that he could not move.

People and cars in the city want to go out, people and cars outside the city want to come in, and everyone doesn't give in to each other, and the result is naturally conceivable.

More than a dozen officers and soldiers guarding the gate were separated and squeezed on both sides of the city gate by people and ox carts, and even if they had the intention to maintain order, they could only shout empty, but they could not move.

Even if the ox cart behind wants to turn around, the people who like to gather to watch the excitement are gathering more and more, and it is blocked and it is difficult to move an inch.

Such a chaotic situation made Li Zhongyi frown, and then realized that the reason for the congestion was actually the slow ox carts running around, and there were no rules at all.

Li Zhongyi turned his head and called Li Yunxiao, and whispered a few words in his ear, after Li Yunxiao listened, he grinned and said, "Master, you can rest assured, just a small matter, and a small one will be done." ”

"A thief has entered the house to steal something...... Li Yunxiao blended into the crowd, suddenly pulled his throat and shouted.

At first, the onlookers didn't pay attention to it, but the sound of Li Zhongyi's Yuan entourage catching thieves from all directions immediately attracted everyone's attention, "Whose little lady is this, has she been molested......"

"Oh, it's not good, my family is alone in the store......"

"Ah, my shop hasn't closed yet......"

Those who watch the excitement are the neighborhoods, and some people just want to be fresh and lively, once the family's money or women are threatened, where is the desire to continue to watch the excitement?

The crowd of people crowded nearby gradually dispersed, and Li Zhongyi also approached the city gate cave under the escort of the Yuan followers.

"Big brother, you turn the ox cart in a different direction and exit." Li Zhongyi raised his hand and pointed to an ox cart at the very end, telling the coachman to turn around.

"This ......" the driver hesitated slightly, but did not do it immediately.

Li Yunxiao glared at him and shouted: "Don't be slow, let you turn around, turn around quickly." ”

Although Li Zhongyi was dressed in civilian clothes, the clothes were obviously not qualified to be worn by ordinary grass people, and around him, dozens of Yuan Sui, stroking the handle of the knife, stared at the coachman with fierce eyes.

Looking at this frame, even if the coachman is a fool, he knows that he will definitely not be able to provoke the young man in front of him!

The driver obediently led the cow's nose, turned the delivery truck around, and walked back the same way.

Li Zhongyi is an old driver, and he naturally knows very well in his heart that traffic jams are not terrible, but he is afraid of cutting in line and blocking all the roads, making you unable to move.

Therefore, under Li Zhongyi's orders, the Yuan entourage around him went out one after another and began to divert traffic.

"Keep to the right, keep to the right, all to the right, don't go to the left." Li Yunxiao followed Li Zhongyi's explanation, waved the scabbard in his hand, and forced the merchants' ox carts to drive on the right. (To be continued......)
