"Big brother!"

When he saw that it was Li Yan, Fang La was shocked!

First, what shocked Fang La was that Li Yan, who was supposed to be in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, would actually come to him!

Second, what shocked Fang La was that Li Yan was able to find him, you know, this is his base camp, not many people know about it!

Li Yan smiled: "Big brother, is this not welcome me?" ”

Fang La immediately reined in his thoughts and said, "How come, I'm just a little surprised that Fourth Brother you will appear here." ”

Li Yan smiled and said: "Big brother, don't forget, Deng Yuanjue is my person now." ”

Fang La suddenly realized, and then said in his heart: "That thief bald looks loyal and honest to me, and he doesn't want to turn around and completely defect to the new master!" ”

Fang La looked left and right, and then looked at the more than 100 personal guards brought by Li Yan, and found that Li Yan was all immovable and murderous, and said secretly: "These people are estimated to be able to defeat one against a hundred." ”

When Fang La's gaze swept behind Li Yan, his expression was stunned!

He actually saw a woman with the same figure as Fang Baihua!

Her eyes moved slightly, Fang La looked at Hu Sanniang and asked, "Fourth brother, who is this lady?" ”

Seeing that there was no obscenity in Fang La's eyes, Li Yan knew that Fang La should not have taken a fancy to Hu Sanniang, and then introduced Hu Sanniang to Fang La and said: "This is my concubine, nicknamed Yizhangqing." Then Li Yan introduced Fang La to Hu Sanniang and said: "This is what I told you, my eldest brother is called an iron arm King Kong on the rivers and lakes." ”

Hu Sanniang bowed: "I've seen uncle." ”

Fang La motioned to Hu Sanniang to be exempt from courtesy, and said in his heart: "Li Yan is really different, he doesn't like the beauty of the bird, but he likes this kind of tall woman." ”

Turning his head again, Fang La saw Chen Liqing, who was of a more ordinary figure, and then remembered that Chen Liqing was also Li Yan's concubine, and said in his heart: "Li Yan should like both ordinary beauties and tall women, but now it's easy to do." ”

Fang La said: "Let's enter the lacquer garden first, and then talk about ...... Fourth brother, you don't know, I have been having a very unpleasant quarrel with a family recently, and I am worried that he will expose me, so I am studying whether to change places or revolt about it. ”

Li Yan said while entering the lacquer garden with Fang La: "If the eldest brother is ready, it is naturally best to get up early, the eldest brother occupies Jiangnan, the second brother occupies Hebei, and the third brother occupies Tanxi, I am echoing you overseas overseas, and great things can be done." ”

Fang La said with a smile: "Didn't the fourth brother accept the imperial court's recruitment, why are you still doing this head-killing business?" ”

"Hey!"

Li Yan sighed and said: "I think I am at ease overseas, in fact, I am like a person drinking water cold and warm self-knowing, although I occupy nearly half of the territory of Goryeo, but Goryeo's vitality is actually not injured, and Goryeo has recently recruited and expanded the army, at present, it is conservatively estimated that there are 200,000 elite soldiers, two or three times the strength of mine, my other side is Japan, that is a jackal, maybe one day I will take advantage of my unpreparedness to bite me, in this case, I naturally have to find allies, but unfortunately you can't do anything for a long time, second brother, The third brother is trapped in the mainland and can't be my aid, so I can only use the imperial court as help. ”

Fang La heard the blame in Li Yan's words, and couldn't help but look embarrassed!

Two years ago, Fang La personally promised Li Yan that he would revolt within two years, but now the agreed time has come, but Fang La's side has not moved.

In fact, if there was no movement on Fang La's side, then Li Yan would not come to Fang La's place in person, after all, Fang La would have to cause an incident sooner or later, and the reason why Li Yan came here in person was because Li Yan could not suppress the ambitions of Tian Hu and Wang Qing, who had developed too smoothly in the past two years.

These two goods have written more than 20 and more than a dozen letters to Li Yan respectively in the past few months.

In addition to buying armor and explosives bags from Li Yan, these two goods wrote to Li Yan with only one meaning - they wanted to be king.

Tian Hu now occupies 56 counties in five states.

The five states are: Weisheng, Fenyang, Zhaode, Jinning, and Gaizhou.

The fifty-six counties are all subordinate counties under the jurisdiction of these five states.

Tian Hu built a palace in Fenyang, set up civil and military bureaucrats, internal and external generals, dominated one side, the soldiers were fierce, and the mountains and rivers were steep.

Tian Qing was even more arrogant, occupying eight military prefectures and eighty-six counties.

The eight military states are: Nanfeng, Jingnan, Shannan, Yun'an, Ande, Dongchuan, Wanzhou, and Xijing.

The eighty-six counties are all counties belonging to these eight military states.

Wang Qing in Nanfeng City, built the treasure hall, the inner garden, the palace, also learned from the Song Dynasty, set up a civil and military office, the provincial bureaucracy, the internal and external generals, Feng Li Zhu as the prime minister of the military division, Fang Han as the privy, Duan Er for the general of the national unified army, Duan Wu for the auxiliary military governor, Fan Quan for the palace marshal, Gong Duan for the Xuanfu envoy, Gong Zheng for the transfer envoy, in charge of the entry and exit of the branch, the calculation of money and grain, Qiu Xiang for the imperial envoy.

It is not difficult to see from this series of actions of Tian Hu and Wang Qing that these two goods are about to go crazy if they want to establish themselves as kings.

OK!

Li Yan pinched the lifeblood of these two goods, and temporarily suppressed the idea of these two goods being kings, otherwise these two goods who no longer knew who they were would have rebelled.

Some people may be puzzled, Tian Hu and Wang Qing are called kings, and they are called kings, doing Li Yan's, why should Li Yan be such an idle official?

In fact, what Li Yan said to Fang La was not a lie.

Goryeo really expanded its army, forcibly expanding its forces to more than 200,000, which was even better than before Li Yan invaded Goryeo.

Not only that, Goryeo also actively contacted Gongfu, and even played the slogan of stopping the civil war and uniting with the outside world.

Of course, Gong Fu is not stupid, knowing that if he really follows what Goryeo said, then he will become Goryeo's cannon fodder, and he must be the first to perish.

However, Gong Fu did not stand on the united front with Li Yan.

Gong Fu is now, not only with Gao Limei, but also with the Andong Protectorate, in fact, with anyone is hypocritical, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to develop and grow himself in the cracks, and when he grows to a certain extent, he will unite one family to destroy the other, and finally unify the peninsula and complete the restoration.

Based on this grand purpose, Gong Fu has been expanding its troops and now has nearly 100,000 troops.

In addition to Li Yan's 100,000 troops - in addition to the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 14th, 15th, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 3rd, and 4th armies, Li Yan successively sent 20,000 infantry reserves to Seoul during this period of time to be trained by Bing Cao, and by the way, he sent 10,000 infantry reserves to Jeju Island to Deng Fei and Lu Zhishen for training, and 10,000 horse army reserves to Bian Xiang and others for training (there are now 20,000 horse army reserves on Jeju Island).

The small peninsula, now with more than 400,000 troops, is divided into three forces, which is naturally similar to a powder keg, and it is uncertain when the Three Kingdoms War will break out.

Plus Japan is hard to fathom.

Therefore, Li Yan's situation is really not so good.

In this case, Li Yan naturally couldn't let the Song Kingdom stop.

First, Li Yan could take advantage of the chaos of the Song State to grab a large amount of population and wealth from the Song State and vigorously develop himself.

Second, as long as the civil strife in the Song Dynasty continues, Zhao Ji and others will have no time to fight Li Yan's idea, and they will have to keep appeasing Li Yan so that Li Yan can do whatever he wants.

If Tian Hu and Wang Qing do not claim to be kings, Song Guo may be able to tolerate Tian Hu and Wang Qing for a while due to the current situation, once Tian Hu and Wang Qing dare to be kings, then it is equivalent to jumping out and saying: "Lao Tzu Tian Hu / Lao Tzu Wang Qing is reversed!" Let the Song State have no fig leaf at all, in that case, the Song State will definitely be desperate to exterminate them.

Do you really think that Song Guo is a soft persimmon and easy to pinch?

The small Goryeo can now get out of 200,000 elite soldiers, Tian Hu and Wang Qing can each get out of 120,000 troops after only one occasion, not to mention the powerful Great Song Dynasty, if Zhao Ji changes his previous mediocrity and hard work, it won't be long before the Song State can conjure up another 500,000 army, or even a million army.

Don't think this is an exaggeration, Song Guo, who has not been hurt by Jin Guo, definitely has this confidence.

(At its peak, the Song Dynasty had 1,410,000 troops.) ）

Of course, it is impossible for the Song Kingdom to raise so many troops for a long time, because if it is really to raise such an army, the cost is by no means a small amount, in that case, what will Zhao Ji and the others use to enjoy it in style?

does not mention the national strength of the Song State, but only the active army of the Song State.

Putting aside the Western Army, which was the most capable of fighting in the Song State, there were at least 200,000 at this time - only a little more, and later the Western Army also sent 100,000 Western troops from Shaanxi Sixth Road, plus 50,000 forbidden troops from Gyeonggi, a total of 150,000 troops went south to suppress the Fangla Uprising.

Not to mention the combat power of the Hebei Forbidden Army, but as the main force to defend the Liao State, there are always 50,000 (real numbers), and nominally it is more than 100,000.

The central forbidden army, I dare not say that there are more, there should still be 200,000 - only the forbidden army for Zhao Ji to repair Genyue is no less than 100,000.

Plus the forbidden army in various places south (at least 50,000).

At present, the Song State alone has at least 500,000 forbidden troops.

If you count the Xiang army and the township army.

At present, even if there are no 800,000 active troops, the Song State still has 700,000 active troops.

In this case, if Song Guo is determined to exterminate Tian Hu and Wang Qing, the two dead goods, what else can these two goods do in addition to being exterminated?

Compared with Tian Hu and Wang Qing, Fang La, who was extremely well prepared, was undoubtedly better able to hold back the Song Kingdom.

Therefore, after leaving Taiwan, when passing by Hangzhou, Li Yan thought about it and came to see how Fang La's uprising was prepared.
