Between the valleys, the water of Qingzhang is very fast.

A big black man led the horse carefully sideways and slid to the river, he was Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin stretched out his hand and bowed a handful of water on his face, turned back to Shi Shouxin on the hillside and said, "The water is already cold and biting, as if it is about to freeze." ”

Shi Shouxin didn't know how to answer, but Zhao Kuangyin just said casually, and quickly turned his head to look at the situation in the mountains and rivers. The rubble on the mountain fell down with a bang, and one of the big stones fell into the water with a "bang", and the whole valley seemed to be slowly and unstoppably shaking.

"It's like the general trend!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

Another general on the hillside said, "If we go to Li Jixun's army in the future and continue to oppose that woman, will she be unfavorable to our family?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin silently didn't answer, bowed a few more handfuls of water, and saw that the horse next to him was also drinking, so he waited. He turned around and said loudly: "Go to Li Chongjin camp first!" ”

Shi Shouxin hurriedly persuaded: "Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde have a holiday, and Brother Zhao was Zhang Yongde's person...... Don't trust Li Chongjin too much. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I just don't believe in Li Chongjin, so I voted for him first!" However, I don't think he's going to be bad for me, but I'm worried that guy won't move and watch the fire from the other side! ”

"It's all at this time, what else does Li Chongjin have to wait and see?" Shi Shouxin wondered.

"People's hearts are ......" Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and sighed, "What is the character of those people in the forbidden army, they have been together for so many years, I have already figured it out." ”

Shi Shouxin was thoughtful.

Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the turbulent mountains and rocks opposite: "In the world, the most sinister thing is not the mountains and cliffs, but the hearts of the people!" Faithfulness and sincerity, we regard it as our lives; In the hearts of more people, it is lighter than a feather, and it can be abandoned for a little profit, and it can be used as a joke for the sake of greater power and profit! ”

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly: "A letter can't make Li Chongjin act decisively. If he does not move, it will be difficult for Li Jixun's 20,000 men and some temporarily recruited strong men to take Jinju. ”

Shi Shouxin said: "What Brother Zhao said is extremely true, and I also think it is difficult for Li Jixun. Jinju is a strong town, and the guards will be Xiang Xun; This person is not a mediocre person, but a good general. It would take at least five times as many troops to break through the important town he defended. ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "Jinzhou is not broken, such as being charged in the throat." He led the horse and turned uphill, shouting, "Go!" Go to Liaozhou. ”

…… The city of Liaozhou is only twenty or thirty miles away from the border of the Northern Han Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin led the cavalry to arrive in half a day, but because he was blocked at the gate of the city with the soldiers, he had to report his name and wait for someone to report.

It took a long time for a military commander to come and put them into the city. The military general took Zhao Kuangyin and the other three brothers to the Chinese army, and Zhao Kuangyin left Shi Shouxin in the Ma army. At this time, I saw Li Chongjin personally greet the trip.

The entrance of Liaozhou Zhongjun is a very old archway. The lacquer on the thick wood on both sides had long since fallen off, and even the wood had begun to rot; There is a roof on it to protect it from rain and dampness, but it still takes many years to become like this.

Under the quaint fang card, the warriors wearing armor on both sides clasped each other's fists and saluted, and the scene was full of ancient style.

"Brother Zhao, don't come unharmed!" Li Chongjin said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Don't dare, the lord is older, and the brothers see the lord." ”

Li Chongjin was slightly stunned when he heard the title of "lord". Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "I have heard that Li Jixun is the master of you, and I have long sworn to stand with the dictatorship in Tokyo, and I should serve you as the master." ”

"Hahaha......" Li Chongjin raised his head and laughed, "General Zhao, please!" ”

As for the lobby, Li Chongjin only sat at the top, Zhao Kuangyin sat at the bottom, and the two brothers stood behind. Li Chongjin said casually: "General Zhao stayed in the Northern Han Dynasty for a while, how about it?" ”

"At that time in Tokyo, the queen and her general Guo Shaoli responded to the mutiny, and I knew that I was in danger and fled early. I wanted to vote for Li Jixun in Heyang, but at that time, there was no bloodbath in Tokyo, and I was afraid that he would be affected, so I didn't dare to stay, so I had to pass through Heyang to join the Northern Han. Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "The Northern Han wants to use us and guard against us, and life is very difficult." Except for the personal soldiers I brought out from Tokyo, the rest of the 300 horsemen were borrowed by Li Jixun, and they were useless in the Northern Han Dynasty. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said with a straight face: "Liu Jun and the Northern Han Dynasty civil and military, it is impossible to trust the people of the Zhou Dynasty in the past, let alone give military power!" We still broke off our thoughts. ”

Li Chongjin listened and groaned.

Zhao Kuangyin said quietly: "Please don't blame the lord, it seems that two years ago, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to win over the lord?" ”

Li Chongjin snorted coldly: "Li Jing is just a counter-plot, trying to separate the trust between me and the emperor's monarchs and ministers. If I really cast it, can Li Jing give me good fruit to eat? ”

"Li Jing is quite kind, if it weren't for the fact that the Southern Tang Dynasty would be forced to hand over by the Great Zhou...... The lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty may be given an official position, and those who have voted in the past can still be clothed and fed. Zhao Kuangyin said indifferently, "The Northern Han Dynasty won't even give you an idle job." If he really broke with the Great Zhou, he might be able to save his life in the Northern Han Dynasty...... But it's just to survive. ”

Li Chongjin's brows suddenly furrowed.

Zhao Kuangyin hit the railway while it was hot: "The lord may feel that there is a way to retreat, and he can retreat to the Northern Han Dynasty at any time in Liaozhou." But do you have to think about it a thing or two, and bring nearly 30,000 troops to the Northern Han Dynasty together? The Northern Han Dynasty was barren and willing to allocate money and food to feed so many people...... So many people under the command of the lord who are not completely under their control?

But if I don't have any soldiers in my hand, the lord will look at my current situation. Now I can still vote for my brother Li Jixun, if Li Jixun loses at that time, who will we vote for? ”

Li Chongjin's face became more and more ugly.

Zhao Kuangyin knew that he had already moved him. Because Zhao Kuangyin didn't rely on his tongue, he just picked out the real truth.

"The Northern Han Dynasty is not moving now, and only wants to see the internal friction of the Zhou Dynasty." Zhao Kuangyin said, "If the lord does not seize the opportunity as soon as possible and decisively raise troops at the same time as Li Jixun, the more it drags on, the more it will not be able to confront Tokyo." The retreat of the Northern Han Dynasty is that there is no way out; Over there in Tokyo, will you be spared just because the lord has not raised troops now? Guo Shao has already checked the front of the palace......"

At the mention of Guo Shao, Li Chongjin had an angry look on his face.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything more, and sat there silently, waiting for Li Chongjin to think about it.

After being cold for a long time, Li Chongjin patted the armrest of his chair and said: "General Zhao sent someone over to tell Li Jixun that he would march from Zezhou with his whole army, and I would immediately move westward and attack Jinzhou on two roads!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin was not happy, but said: "Very good, I just follow the army, and we will meet Li Jixun in Jinzhou at that time." ”

Li Chongjin said: "As soon as I learned that Li Jixun's main force had arrived in Jinzhou, I immediately washed Liaozhou, robbed all the things to sacrifice the army, and set off. ”

Zhao Kuangyin groaned: "Liaozhou detours to the Northern Han Dynasty to Jinzhou, and you can do it now." The lord just rest assured, if you arrive in Jinju and Li Jixun still does not move, you will take my head and sacrifice the flag! I'll stay in the army, and you can send someone to keep an eye on me. ”

"Haha......" Li Chongjin said, "I'm definitely not worried that Li Jixun won't move, you misunderstand me." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhao Kuangyin said, "I have no intention of doing this, the road here is indeed relatively far, so I will make this statement." ”

Neither of them admitted the calculation in their hearts, but Zhao Kuangyin felt that Li Chongjin thought so...... Not only is he worried about the problem of releasing pigeons, Li Chongjin's main abacus should be: to make sure that Li Jixun takes the lead, and most of the strength loss and consumption will be borne by Li Jixun; Moreover, Li Chongjin also wanted to monopolize Jinju, because there was no place to settle after leaving Liaozhou.

This kind of mutual distrust is normal, and Zhao Kuangyin is used to it now.

Not to mention people like Li Chongjin, who were already very estranged, when he was in Tokyo, Zhang Yongde, who was so close, calculated himself. People are thinking about themselves, who cares if others live or die?

However, Zhang Yongde did not please him, and was seized of military power just two months later...... He still thought that the captain of the horse would be able to save his life? Didn't he excuse his resignation due to illness, Zhao Kuangyin was waiting for the news of Zhang Yongde's "death".
