If the boundary of the Weisheng Army is located in the center of Hedong Road, which is the key place leading to all places, Taiyuan Mansion controls the mountains and rivers, and it has also been recorded that it is the shoulders of the world, and it is an important military town in Hedong, and it is also a place where ancient and modern soldiers must fight. When the Jin State decided to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south, it was also divided into two routes to attack the Song Dynasty, the east road directly took the Song capital Tokyo Bianliang, and the west road was to invade Taiyuan Mansion and take advantage of the situation to control and choke the entire territory of Hedong Road.

Xiao Tang led the army through a crystal clear, icy cold and piercing cold spring, but saw that the stone walls around this place were also dozens of zhang high, and the momentum was majestic, and the cold cold spring gushed out from the bottom of the mountain and heard the murmuring sound. Informed by the soldiers of the Taiyuan Military Division, this place is called the Burning Stone Cold Spring, which is also a wonder of ancient Taiyuan. Xiao Tang even saw the word "Lingquan" inscribed by Song Huizong's imperial pen under the Spring Pavilion, but although the scenery here is chic, Xiao Tang has no intention of stopping to watch, just want to quickly lead the military horses under his command to Taiyuan Mansion to rectify as soon as possible, and finalize the military discussion as soon as possible, so as to expel the party departments and exterminate the Hedong thieves gathered by Tian Hu.

I think that Taiyuan located in Hedong Road is not only a military geographical location is very important, it is also known as the state, known as Jinyang in ancient times, since ancient times, it is also the splendid ancient capital of the troubled times. It's just that in the official history, in order to defend Taiyuan Mansion and even the entire territory of Hedong, the Song Dynasty successively sent famous generals in the army such as Chongshizhong, Yao Gu, Yao Pingzhong, He Guan, and Zhe Keqiu to resist the invasion of the Jin army. It's a pity that these generals who should have been respected in the army, who had made many meritorious deeds in the past, died in battle, and even the little captain Yao Pingzhong, who is now fighting with Xiao Tang, also fled into seclusion in the Song army's war to recapture Taiyuan, and was nowhere to be found until decades later......

Xiao Tang has always been very clear that he wants to train a new army on Hedong Road, and it is precisely because he wants this Jin country to occupy and further encroach on the important places of the Great Song Dynasty to set up an extra layer of barriers. Although it is up to people to plan things and things to succeed, whether the current variable Hedong Road is enough to slow down the pace of the Jin Kingdom's invasion of the Great Song Dynasty, although Xiao Tang can't make the judgment of an unpredictable prophet, he must always be fully prepared in advance.

In fact, about the connection between the official history and the "Water Margin", Xiao Tang also knows a very worthy of thought, according to the historical records, there was really a member of the Song army who rushed to Taiyuan in the seed division as "Zhao'an Jukou", and later the general who joined the army to resist Jin was called Yang Zhi, but later he was defeated in Yuxian County, Shanxi Province in the battle with the Jin army, and then disappeared.

Yang Zhi, who was originally a green forest and grassy man, and later resolutely accepted Zhao'an, and assisted the small species to resist the invasion of the Jin army, should be the prototype of the blue-faced beast in the Water Margin, "after the three generations of generals, the grandson of the fifth marquis Yang Linggong". And now Xiao Tang supports the Water Margin heroes to make a big noise, which is also in line with those who are originally heroes in the green forest, but as the characters of the righteous army to protect their families and defend the country, they also want to throw their heads and spill blood with the brothers who gather together to defend the fertile soil of China.

When Xiao Tang led the army to escort a large number of people and finally rushed to Taiyuan Mansion, the Yang Governor's Mansion, who was now guarding the city and pacifying the people in the city, had already been reported by the military officials, and immediately although the officials in the palace came to greet Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang saw that the Yang Governor was very thin, and after a few words with him, Xiao Tang also found that this Yang Governor was very good at talking and quite knowledgeable, and he was not like the ordinary national stupid worms who sold their lords and officials and colluded with the powerful to get the top position. It's just that it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, Yang Zhifu and Li Yonglie, the commander of the soldiers and horses, led several battalions of officers and soldiers who can still be used to defend the city of Taiyuan Mansion, and the troops are already stretched, otherwise Li Yonglie would not have to lead only a battalion of officers and soldiers to rescue a large number of people who were intercepted and chased by thieves and party members like moths to fire......

It's just that the Xixia tribe is cowardly, the thieves in Hedong are raging, and the military divisions in Taiyuan Mansion and even in the northeast of Hebei have fallen into such a dilemma, so it is no wonder that when the Jin State brazenly launched a war of aggression against the Hedong Road, the Song army had to send a large number of generals to lead the troops to help, but they were defeated one after another, and a large number of national generals and military soldiers were left behind.

When Xiao Tang instructed his subordinate Junjian to arrange a temporary resting place for Zhao Yuanwai, Jin Cuilian and others, Governor Yang also ordered the officials in the government to send the officials to take the displaced people who had fallen to Taiyuan Mansion into the city in batches. Subsequently, Governor Yang respectfully invited Xiao Tang, Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, and Yao Pingzhong to discuss matters in the palace.

Later, Governor Yang learned from Xiao Tang that Li Yonglie had died in battle, and the grief and indignation on his face became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but say: "Li Dujian is a loyal, brave and good general, who acts for the people and works hard, but now he is killing himself on the battlefield, it's a pity!" There are few people around me who can lead the army to resist the ravages of the thieves, if it weren't for the fact that Marshal Xiao and the generals led the army in time to rush to the aid and save those innocent people...... Taiyuan Mansion and Hedong Road are afraid that they will really fall into the hands of those fierce thieves! ”

"Now that the thieves and the Dangxiang clan have not yet broken the state capital and city, they are only invading the county and looting everywhere, and the situation is not urgent. It's just that there are a lot of people in various places who have been invaded and occupied by thieves, and they must send and dispatch officials and troops as soon as possible to bring the people from all over the world to Taiyuan Mansion for a temporary livelihood. ”

Xiao Tang groaned, and then said to Governor Yang: "I heard that Li Dujian has a younger brother who also serves in the command of the embassy here, and his family is smaller than that of Taiyuan Mansion, I don't know where the others are now?" ”

When Governor Yang heard this, he immediately replied: "Li Yongqi, the brother of Li Dujian, although he is not suspended in the military department. However, I also knew that he was diligent in the art of archery and horse warfare, so I allowed him to be the head of the horse army in the government for the time being. After making a lot of achievements, I will recommend him to seek a military position in the army, and I will call him to come. ”

The officials in the government were instructed by Governor Yang to summon Li Yongqi, and not long after, Xiao Tang saw a young man of twenty-three or four-year-old with a boy of six or seven years old entering the palace hall. Governor Yang first said to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Jieshuai, this person is Li Yongqi, the younger brother of Li Dujian, and the young man is his nephew Li Shifu. ”

As soon as Governor Yang's voice fell, Li Yongqi, who was full of grief and grief, didn't care about the generals present, and had already opened his mouth to say to him: "Yang Xianggong, my eldest brother is ......."

In this situation, Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, and then he suddenly saw that although the boy next to Li Yongqi was born black and thin, his eyes were clear, and his father Li Yongqi was sad and angry when he heard that his brother had died in battle, although the boy's eyebrows were also sad, but his thick eyebrows like a paint brush were upside down, and his eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and it seemed that he wanted to avenge his uncle immediately.

Seeing this, Xiao Tang couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: This son is young, but his expression does not look like an ignorant child, although he doesn't know what his father Li Yongqi's temperament is, but looking at his weather, he is also a young tiger who wants to show his grandeur.

---------------------------------------------------

Note: Li Yongqi, an official general in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, was captured and captured by his son after the Jin army captured Yan'an Mansion in Shaanxi. Although he had to be given an official position by the Jin State, before his son Li Shifu was ordered to lead the army to Bianliang, Tokyo, Li Yongqi had instructed: "This eastward trip, if there is an opportunity, return to the Song Dynasty in the south, and don't have any scruples because I have fallen into the hands of the enemy." If my son returns south and serves the Great Song Dynasty again, our Li family will be able to leave its name for future generations. Then Li Shifu wanted to return to the Song Dynasty, and more than 200 members of Li Yongqi's family were killed by the Jin army.

Due to the revelation of the defection to the Song Dynasty, Li Shifu only led twenty-six horsemen to Western Xia. When Jin and Xia were at odds, Li Shifu temporarily made many military exploits as a Xia general, and was appeased by Yan'an to lead a large army to attack Jin from the rear. After that, the Xia State was removed by Li Shifu's heart to the Song Dynasty, and Li Xianzhong led his men and horses to resist the elite cavalry of the Xia army, Iron Harrier, and took the lead in galloping into the enemy formation with two swords, defeating the Xia army, among which more than 10,000 Xia soldiers were killed and trampled. Later, Li Shifu raised his arms and called out the list to recruit troops, recruited 40,000 righteous troops to go directly to Sichuan, and was led by Wu Jue, a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally returned to his homeland.

Gaozong Zhao conceived Li Shifu's loyalty and righteousness to return to the dynasty, and gave him the name Li Xianzhong.

Strictly speaking, Li Xianzhong was born in 1109 AD, and the age of the middle appearance is somewhat inconsistent with the official history, but the deviation is not very large..........
