Li Jiqian and Zhang Pu were excited for a while, and Zhang Pucai said: "Master, the villain met the people of Jiuwu Mountain in Yanzhou and Hongzhou on the way back to Xiazhou, and said that a fairy came there and was exorcising disasters and curing diseases for the people; There is also an epidemic in Xiazhou City, so why not invite fairies to come! ”

Li Jiqian has always been obedient to Zhang Pu's words, Zhang Pu was detained in Bianliang, and Li Jiqian only felt that his arm was cut off and even his head was stunned; Now as soon as Zhang Pu returned to Xiazhou, he mentioned the matter of epidemic prevention and treatment, and Li Jiqian naturally agreed: "Zhang Gong is like a frightened bird in the middle of the moon, let's rest first!" Jiqian will arrange for his subordinates to invite the fairy over! ”

"This thing belongs to the next thing, I'm afraid the other heat can't do it!" Zhang Puyi said solemnly, and said impassionedly: "Jiuwu Mountain is the innocent land of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people all speak Chinese, and it is not in vain to send others who can't understand Chinese; Your subordinates will be able to solve these problems! ”

"Good, good!" Li Jiqian laughed, pulled Zhang Pu to sit on a round pestle next to him, and shouted to a palace maid standing in the distance: "Girl, serve tea to Lord Zhang!" ”

When the palace maid heard this, she and another woman came over with a teapot and a tea bowl, and poured the fragrant tea into Li Jiqian's tea bowl first, but then poured it for Zhang Pu.

Li Jiqian picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and shouted: "Red line, bring the master's short shirt!" ”

Li Jiqian only wore a pair of big pants when Zhang Pu was not around, and as soon as Zhang Pu came back, he actually restrained himself; This is because Zhang Pu, a Hanchen, has always told Li Jiqian about the etiquette and morality of the Han family, and Zhang Pu is Li Jiqian's adviser and Li Jiqian's teacher; In front of the teacher, Li Jiqian naturally wants to maintain his demeanor as "the king of a country".

The woman who was called a red line by Li Jiqian trotted over with a white shirt with half sleeves in her hand, and when she arrived at Li Jiqian, she held it with both hands and lowered her head to hand over the white shirt with half sleeves.

Li Jiqian put on a white shirt with half of his sleeves, looked at Zhang Pu and smiled, and said, "As soon as Zhang Gong returns to the state capital, he is going to invite a fairy?" In a hurry, let's talk first! ”

Zhang Pu saw that Li Jiqian was very humble, smiled and took a sip of tea, and put the tea bowl on a stone in front of the round pestle; He cleared his throat, wiped his mouth and looked at him, "King, my subordinates got important news when they returned to Xiazhou City!" ”

Li Jiqian said quietly: "If Zhang Gong has any news, just tell it, Xiazhou City has been closed for more than two months; Jiqian doesn't know anything about the outside world! ”

Li Jiqian said, and asked: "Does Gong Zhang want to tell the lonely family about Bianliang City!" ”

"No, no, no!" Zhang Pu shook his palm and stood up and said, "What the subordinates want to say is related to you, the king!" ”

"Something to do with widows?" Li Jiqian stared at Zhang Pu unreasonably and said, "What is related to the widow?" ”

Zhang Pu stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said solemnly: "The king will not forget the letter of appointment that his subordinates brought back to you from the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom before the tenth month!" ”

That was the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State who asked the lonely family to be the clerk of the King of Western Xia! Li Jiqian said bluntly: "Empress Dowager Xiao canonized the lonely family as the king of Western Xia, and she also took off her pants and farted!" Even if she is not canonized, the lonely family is not the lord of several states around Xiazhou! ”

"That's what happened!" Zhang Pu took advantage of the calm to speak, raised his arm and said with a stern expression: "Xiao Zhuo canonized the king as the king of Western Xia, the purpose is to make us Song Kingdom; He also sent a special envoy to Yu Yue, the great king of heaven, Xiao Tzuyong, as an envoy to declare, but the king knew what Xiao Tzuyong's situation was now? ”

Li Jiqian was stunned, frowned and said: "Xiao Tzuyong led 300 Tielin troops to directly enter the Song realm from Xiazhou, and at that time we were chased and beaten by the Song generals Tian Renlang and Li Jilong to hide in Tibet; The lonely family was afraid that it would be unfavorable to us to annoy the Song army, so he did not agree to Xiao Tzuyong's request; Xiao Tzuyong returned to Liao! ”

"Ahhh Zhang Pu said emotionally: "We were deceived by Xiao Tzuyong!" Xiao Tzuyong said that he led 300 Tielin troops back to Liao, but he went to Yanzhou! ”

"Xiao Tzuyong 300 Tielin Army went to Yanzhou!" Li Jiqian asked, glared at Zhang Pu and said, "What are they doing in Yanzhou?" ”

Zhang Pu sat down, picked up the tea bowl resting on the stone, took a sip, cleared his throat, and said: "The reason why Xiao Xuan, the Empress Dowager of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, sent Xiao Tzuyong to lead 300 Tielin troops to Xiazhou as an envoy to Xiazhou, is that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to Fenghe Warehouse, Fenghe Warehouse, Fengyu Warehouse, and Fengyu Warehouse, the grain base of the Song Kingdom's Xianghe River!" ”

"There's such a thing!" Li Jiqian Huo Di got up from the cool bed and walked around a few times and said, "Xiao Zhuo, this woman is really scheming!" Thanks to the fact that the king refused Xiao Tzuyong to enter the Song Kingdom from the territory of Xiazhou at that time, or let her use the land of Xiazhou to oppose the Song; The Liao State killed people and made us dirty, but the Song State could spare us? ”

"King Shengming!" Zhang Pu flattered: "Thanks to your refusal to allow Xiao Tzuyong to enter the Song Realm from the ground in Xiazhou at that time, otherwise, we would have been driven out of Xiazhou by the Song people!" ”

Li Jiqian heard the meaning of Zhang Pu's words, and sighed: "It is difficult for us to become a climate now, and we can only survive between the Song and Liao countries, and the dragon and tiger struggle between the Song and Liao countries is good for us; But we can't offend too much on that side, and we can't get too close! ”

After a pause, he said confidently: "When we are full-fledged, we will not be a fierce tiger, and we will swallow all the Song and Liao families!" ”

"The king has Qin Mugong's ambition to dominate, and he is obscure; Great things will be done! Zhang Pu said impassionedly, stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "After Xiao Tzuyong was rejected by the king, he went to Yanzhou to work as a pack worker, and he also fell asleep and met a pillow; Zhao Wenchen, the branch official of Jingzhao Mansion of the Song Kingdom, was lacking the strength to carry it, and the two hit it off; Zhao Wenchen hired Xiao Tzuyong 300 horses to transport salt, and Xiao Tzu first and 300 Tielin troops successfully mixed into the territory of the Song Kingdom! ”

"So Xiao Tzuyong is still a character!" Li Jiqian said thoughtfully: "He hid from this king and lurked in the hinterland of Guanzhong!" ”

"The king is not wrong, the river is in Fengxiang Mansion, which is the hinterland of Guanzhong!" Zhang Pu responded to Li Jiqian and said: "Xiao Tzuyong led 300 Tielin troops under the leadership of Zhao Wenchen, the branch official of Jingzhao Mansion, and it didn't take much trouble to reach Tianzhu Ridge on the north bank of the Xiang River, and in Tianzhu Ridge, Xiao Tzuyong killed more than 30 people of Zhao Wenchen!" ”

"Isn't this the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf?" Li Jiqian was a little shocked, glanced at Zhang Pu and said, "Zhao Wenchen and his party took Xiao Tzuyong to the Xianghe River to guard them and kill them; Xiao Tzuyong is not ......"

"The amount is small, non-gentleman, non-poisonous, not husband!" Zhang Pu interrupted Li Jiqian's words, and Zhen Zhen said: "Xiao Tzuyong does not kill Zhao Wenchen, how can these people destroy the grain and grass base of the Song army, and only by killing Zhao Wenchen, the Song army who led the way, can Xiao Tzuyong complete the task given to them by the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State!" ”

Li Jiqian frowned and said, "So Xiao Tzuyong and they succeeded!" ”

"Not really!" Zhang Pu cleared his throat and raised his voice: "There is a saying that the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow sparrows, Xiao Tzuyong killed Zhao Wenchen and 33 people were about to burn the grain and grass of the Song army, but they were beaten by Zhao Yuanzuo, the prince of the Song Kingdom, one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven!" ”

Li Jiqian couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard Zhang Pu mention Zhao Yuanzuo; came back to his senses and raised his arm and said, "Wait, wait, you just said that Zhao Yuanzuo cleaned up Xiao Tzuyong?" But as far as the widow knows, Zhao Yuanzuo fell out with his father Song Taizong because of his fourth uncle Zhao Tingmei; The crown prince has been stripped away! Zhao Yuanzuo was so angry that he set fire to the palace, and the people of Tokyo said that he was crazy and was locked up by Song Taizong, how could he be in ......"

Before Li Jiqian's words were finished, he saw Zhang Pu pick up and said: "The subordinate Tokyo City knows that Zhao Yuanzuo was imprisoned by Song Taizong, but the neighbors who escaped from Tokyo City are all crazy; It is said that Zhao Yuanzuo killed Xiao Tzuyong, the great king of the Liao State Yu Yue, in the Xianghe River, and Xiao Tzuyong's head was sent back by a general named Yang Yiyi! ”

After a pause, he said: "My subordinates don't believe it a little, but Song Taizong's desire to restore Zhao Yuanzuo's position as the crown prince is really seen by my subordinates!" ”

"Zhang Gong's words are a bit out of bounds, do you see that Song Taizong restored the position of Prince Zhao Yuanzuo?" Li Jiqian looked at Zhang Pu unconvinced and asked.

Zhang Pu smiled and said, "Of course, the subordinates did not see Song Taizong's move to restore the position of Prince Zhao Yuanzuo, but the Privy Council made Zhang Qixian personally say to his subordinates; He and Li Fang and several important ministers of the court were going to the front to inspect Zhao Yuanzuo, Zhao Yuanzuo killed Xiao Tzuyong, the king of Liao and Yue, and greatly increased the ambition of the Song army and people; As long as Zhao Yuanzuo says that he is willing to be the crown prince, then Song Taizong will pass the throne to him! ”

Li Jiqian sighed and said: "Zhao Yuanzuo Wenwu Shuangquan is not a good stubble, if he inherits the throne of the Song State; Then it will be difficult for us to realize our wish to establish the Great Xia Kingdom! ”

"When I got out of the water, I saw mud on my legs! The soldiers will block the water and come to the earth! Zhang Pu said confidently: "No matter how tricky Zhao Yuanzuo is, he is not your opponent of the king, if he becomes the emperor of the Song Kingdom; The eagerness to establish the country of Great Xia may be even more! ”

The big catalpa tree screamed that he was dying, Zhang Pu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and said, "What the subordinates talked about above is also a piece of news!" Let's not talk about this, wait for our subordinates to take a few bites of food, and then rush to Jiuwu Mountain to invite fairies! ”

Zhang Pu was really a bit of luck, and when he led a team of party soldiers to ride to Jiuwu Mountain of the security army; But I saw a team of people dressed in white riding horses, and behind the team of people and horses in white were 10 sprayers carried by more than a dozen horses; As you walk, you will spray the trees on the cliffs on both sides.

Zhang Pu and his entourage were dumbfounded, got off the horse and stood on the side of the road to watch; A team of knights dressed in white marched forward to Zhang Pu.

When the group of knights came to Zhang Pu and reined in the horse's head, one of the knights broke off and said, "Who are you, standing here and watching?" ”

The knight who interrogated was Kan Lang, and behind Kan Lang were Huo Renfu, Liang Ding, Huo Buffalo, Wang Yang, Zhao Ji, Chen Yiyun, Tu Youmei, Lai Zhenyue, Jiang Mengjun, Guo Yuquan, Wang Renqing, Chen Shengjie, Liu Xinyi, Zhang Hanwen, and Zhang Zhiping.

There is no doubt that Kan Lang and these people were deliberately arranged by Liu Min, and Liu Min couldn't help but arrange for Kan Lang 16 people to wear white clothes and make a detour to Xiazhou City; She also arranged the people who fled the epidemic to disclose the epidemic to Zhang Pu before.

The fleeing people were Song Cheng, Wang Mingli, Wang Mingkuan, Wang Shuiquan, Wang Ziying, Wang Jixiang, and others who had just become soldiers of the Song Dynasty from refugees.

After Liu Min revealed the "four-pronged" strategy to Li Fang, Lü Mengzheng, Zhang Qixian, Lü Duan, and Kou Zhun in the big tent of the Chinese army in Jiuwu Mountain, Li Fang and his men escorted 37 captives of Tart Mahe Gulu back to the capital under the escort of Yang Linyu and 500 soldiers of Zhe Yuzhong.

Li Fang's seven-member delegation rushed to the north and did not persuade Zhao Yuanzuo to return to the crown prince's position, feeling a little lost; The joy of escorting 37 Liao captives washed away the sense of loss.

Li Fang and the others did not take the original road of Fuzhou-Taiyuan to escort the prisoners this time, but took the road that Liu Min and Lu Chengyu rushed from the Xianghe River.

The reason for this arrangement is to prevent being hijacked by the Liao army on the way; If you think about it, if you go to Fuzhou-Taiyuan Road, it is on the border of Liao, and once Empress Dowager Xiao gets the news, she will spare no effort to send a large army to intercept it along the road.

Take the road of Yan'an Mansion - Chenzhou, enter Luoyang through Guanzhong and rush back to Bianjing; Basically, you won't run into the Liao army.

Li Fang and his entourage adopted Liu Min's opinion, and Liu Min let Yang Linyu lead the 100 capital forbidden army; Fold Yuzhong's 300 folded family army, and the old general Huyan was the guide to lead the 100 Tianxiang army; A total of 500 people escorted Li Fang and them into Beijing.

After Li Fang left, Liu Min asked Song Cheng, Wang Mingli, Wang Mingkuan, Wang Shuiquan, Wang Ziying, and Wang Jixiang to lead hundreds of northbound recruits who were incorporated into the Tianxiang Army to walk around Xiazhou City, preaching that there were fairies in Jiuwu Mountain to prevent and cure diseases; Unabashedly spread the news.

It was also a coincidence that Mai Mang fell into the eye of the needle, and it didn't take long for Song Cheng and them to rush to the vicinity of Xiazhou City; met Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu fled back from Bianjing, and saw many refugees squatting and lying on the ground along the way; So he stepped forward and asked.

As soon as Song Cheng saw Zhang Pu's face, he quickly guessed that he was Zhang Pu, the Han military commander in front of Li Jiqian, so he added salt and vinegar to the epidemic in Yanzhou and Hongzhou, and many people died, and the people wanted to go to Xiazhou City to take refuge, but the road there had long been cut off; I had no choice but to fall the flowers, so I had to rush south to Jiuwu Mountain.

Song Cheng said this, and made a fuss: "It's also a god!" As soon as we arrived at Jiuwu Mountain, we saw several fairies coming from the other side of the mountain; The fairies said that they rushed to Jiuwu Mountain to prevent and cure the epidemic on the orders of the Queen Mother, and saved thousands of people overnight! ”

Zhang Pu saw that Song Cheng was talking amazingly, and stared at him suspiciously and asked, "Who are you, how can you tell the story of the matter so clearly!" Fairies can really prevent and cure epidemics! ”

As soon as Zhangpu asked, Song Cheng was even more sure that he was Li Jiqian's military advisor Zhang Pu; Then he said bluntly: "My lord is the military division of the Great Xia Kingdom, I don't believe that I can go up to Jiuwu Mountain to have a look!" The old man who is about to enter the coffin is coaxing you to do it! ”

Zhang Pu was stunned and stared at Song Cheng in a daze; The fox asked hesitantly: "Who are you, how do you know that the next official is Zhang Pu!" ”

Zhang Pu inadvertently revealed his name, Song Cheng was overjoyed, and said happily: "The old Song Cheng, a native of Hongzhou Sanzhang Bao, is the local Baozheng; Lord Zhang is above, Song Cheng is here to give you a gift! ”

Zhang Pu saw that Song Cheng was polite and talked about the epidemic situation at the head of the road, with a nose and eyes; What's more, Hongzhou Sanzhangbao is a real place name, and Zhangpu has heard of it before.

Zhang Pu concluded that Song Cheng was not making up a story, so he held his hand tightly and said, "My husband is from Hongzhou?" The magistrates of that place often visit it! ”

Zhang Pu had a chat with Song Cheng for a while, and then said that he would immediately return to Xiazhou City to report to Li Jiqian; Come to Jiuwu Mountain and invite fairies to prevent and cure the epidemic.

After Zhang Pu left, Song Cheng quickly reported to Liu Min; Liu Min concluded that Zhang Pu would soon come to Jiuwu Mountain, so he decided to enter Xiazhou City in the name of epidemic prevention; Let Lu Chengyu lead the Tianxiang army to come and be ready to respond at any time.

After Liu Min made some arrangements for the capture of Xiazhou City, he led Huo Renfu and Liang Ding to slowly walk while spraying the medicine mist.

After walking a short distance, sure enough, when he saw more than a dozen people from Zhang Pu coming on horseback, Liu Min asked Kan Lang to come forward to talk......
