Fanyang City is just full of snow, and the northeast is directly a raging wind.

The land of white mountains and black waters, thousands of miles of ice, because the weather is too bad, the construction of the new city has been stopped, and all the people are placed in simple wooden houses, crowded with the local people to endure the cold winter.

It's too cold, and it's definitely not okay if you don't get warm, but fortunately there are also open-pit coal mines in the northeast, otherwise many people might freeze to death.

The matter of heating is easy to solve, but the problem of grain is the top priority, and once the grain is cut off, the entire Bohai country may collapse immediately.

The people began to worry about whether their lord would be able to find food. Gradually, people began to inquire into each other, and as time went on, they became more and more frightened.

They wanted to see Li Yun's figure and settle down their panicked minds, but unfortunately they didn't know that Li Yun was not here at all now.

……

In the wind and snow, Li Yunding stood on the bank of the Liao River in the wind and snow, at this time the Liao River has frozen, even a thousand catties of ox carts can pass, Li Yun carried the drum urn gold in both hands, standing in the wind and snow like a sculpture.

Suddenly, some black spots appeared on the surface of the river, and soon the black spots turned into several figures running wildly, but I saw that the leader was a young man with a beard, and it was Cheng Chumo who was assigned by Li Shimin.

Cheng Chumo galloped wildly, with a well-known exaggerated laugh in his mouth, this thing slid rapidly on the ice, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Li Yun, and shouted with excitement on his face: "Master, it's done, it turns out that this thing really works, it can slide out of twenty or thirty miles in an hour, and it's not tiring, it's like it's not ordinary, obediently rumbling holes, it's just amazing, so cold and snowy war horses can't step on it, but master, you just make two planks to solve this matter, it's amazing, it's really invincible in the world......"

Li Yun didn't look at him angrily, and said with a smile: "This is the way of things, and it has nothing to do with being invincible in the world, I forced you to read so many books, how to talk or turn things upside down, if it has always been like this, don't blame me for refusing to restore your title." ”

Cheng Chumo didn't care about it, but instead stepped on the plank and slid a few times on the ice, this thing held two wooden sticks in his hand, and from time to time he inserted them into the ice to accelerate, shouting in his mouth, playing excitedly, laughing and laughing: "If you don't have a title, you don't have a title, anyway, my father has already made a prince, in fact, I don't like to be an official, I prefer to stay with the people......"

Saying that, he slid again, slid in front of Li Yun again, and said: "Master, you don't know, I am almost suffocated to death in Chang'an, I have to participate in the morning dynasty every day, listening to a group of people chattering crookedly, Your Majesty often reprimands me, saying that I am indefinite like a rabbit that does not sit in the nest, once reprimanded too harshly, and even said that I am not qualified to marry Changle, as a result, a few old and immortal ministers climbed along the pole, and actually wrote a letter to persuade Your Majesty to repent of marriage, I was angry like thunder, but I didn't dare to smash their door, because Master You said before leaving, I'm not allowed to cause trouble in Chang'an. ”

This thing is crooked and long, and he speaks at the speed of a machine gun, but Li Yun did not get angry when he heard it, but sighed softly and said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have left you in Chang'an......"

As he spoke, he looked at the sky from afar, as if muttering to himself: "I'm actually not suitable to be in power, because I'm always ruthless, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will worry that I have the intention of sitting big, so I left the five of you in Chang'an as protons, although I have comforted Your Majesty's heart, but it makes you live a miserable life." ”

The smile on Cheng Chumo's face suddenly disappeared, and he said solemnly: "Master, don't be like this, we don't have the slightest complaint." ”

Li Yun laughed, put down the drum urn and patted him on the shoulder, and suddenly changed the topic: "It's not for fun to let you sled, how is the matter investigated?" ”

Cheng Chumo's face was instantly serious, and he said in a deep voice: "My sister, they have already left." ”

Li Yun's eyes flashed, and he also said in a deep voice: "Have you ever acted according to the plan?" ”

Cheng Chumo nodded and said, "500,000 stone grain, 28,000 carts, forming a huge grain transportation team, and there are 5,000 coachmen hired alone. ”

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced left and right, obviously there were no outsiders around, but this thing mysteriously lowered his voice, and pretended to be secretive: "As for the other 23,000 coachmen, they are actually Turks under the command of Princess Linglong, all of them are carefully selected warriors, and bows and arrows and scimitars are hidden under the grain carts. Their grain carts were not oxen carts, but war horses used as animal power to pull carts, and if anyone dared to plunder the grain caravan, they would cut off the reins of the carts and get on their horses to fight, and 23,000 coachmen would instantly become 23,000 cavalry. ”

Li Yun pondered for a long time, and suddenly said with an uncertain tone: "The Turks have a special appearance, and they are easy to be recognized, and they directly use 23,000 cavalry, and I am afraid that this matter cannot be concealed from the speculation of people with intentions." ”

"Hehe, don't be afraid!"

Cheng Chumo opened his mouth wide, and said with confidence: "Master, don't forget, there are more than 100,000 Turks living in Fanyang City, and the Han and Turks have been intermarrying and merging, and everyone has long been surprised to see the Turks, my eldest sister and they did not hide the Turkic coachmen at all, but made a big show to let people see that the coachmen are Turks, the more so, the more people will not doubt, what is this called, this is called black ...... under the lamp"

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, looked at this product with some surprise, and said in amazement: "I didn't expect you to know how to stratagem!" ”

Cheng Chumo suddenly nostriled to the sky, and said proudly: "Don't forget that I am a person who has been in the court." ”

He still had to brag a few times, but Liu Renshi suddenly jumped over behind him, and directly exposed and slapped his face: "Master, don't listen to him, these words were said by Princess Linglong, Cheng Chumo worked hard to recite for several days, barely able to remember a rough idea." ”

Li Yun laughed.

Cheng Chumo's face flushed.

This thing turned his head and glared at Liu Renshi angrily, and scolded angrily: "Straight mother thief, if you don't tell the truth, will you suffocate to death?" ”

Liu Renshi rolled his eyes, and the success of the complaint looked triumphant, and he smiled evilly: "If you don't tell the truth, you won't suffocate to death, but it's very likely that you will go crazy, my name is Liu Renshi, I like to tell the truth by nature, what are you staring at, I'm telling the truth when I stare at you, don't look at you as a great disciple, I, Liu Renshi, don't pee on your pot." ”

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Li Yun's face was full of helplessness, he didn't want to scold the two apprentices, so he could only wave his hand to block them, and asked again: "Where is the grain convoy now?" Have you ever seen signs of plunder? ”

This is the right question, Cheng Chumo and Liu Renshi hurriedly put away their laughter, and replied seriously: "The convoy has been out of the customs, the journey is quite smooth, according to the speed of the convoy, it will be possible to reach the Liao River in half a month, we have been secretly investigating for a long time, and there are no signs of looting along the way." ”

The two paused at this point, and couldn't help but look at Li Yun and said, "Master, could it be that we are too careful?" ”

Li Yun shook his head slowly, as if he was noncommittal, he suddenly put his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance.

Cheng Chumo and Liu Renshi glanced at each other, and asked again: "Master, is the human heart really so bad?" If something happens to the grain convoy, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death......

This time, Li Yun finally answered.

But seeing Li Yun slowly exhaling a breath, he looked into the distance with his hands and said: "At the beginning of people, their nature is good, but the world is a big dye vat, people's hearts are contaminated with ups and downs in the dye vat, good becomes bad, bad is even worse, in order to achieve a certain goal, they don't care about the death of hundreds of thousands of people." ”

Saying that, he glanced at the two of them, and said with a teaching: "Digging the Yellow River and conquering Liaodong, these two things are one inside and one outside, once they are done, they will make the Tang Dynasty extremely stable, and after the country is stable, the people will have enough food and clothing, and once the people have enough food and clothing, I will be able to free up my hands to civilize the people's wisdom, and once the people's wisdom is civilized, you can practice the way of the imperial examination, and by that time, the scholars will no longer be superior!" ”

At this point, there was a pause to give the two apprentices plenty of room to think.

After Cheng Chumo and Liu Renshi were thoughtful, Li Yun spoke again and taught: "The reason why the family is superior is because they control knowledge and refuse to pass it on, and the reason why Confucianism is transcendent is because they control knowledge and are proud of it, but after the whole people are civilized, their advantages will be gone, this matter is well known to the teacher, and those people also know that there is a natural conflict between them and me, and they will never let me succeed easily......"

Cheng Chumo and Liu Renshi glanced at each other, and said hesitantly: "So the master firmly believes that they will be bad?" ”

"Yes!"

Li Yun nodded, and suddenly laughed coldly: "In fact, the word bad can no longer describe their actions, what they want to do is not just as simple as making bad, hundreds of thousands of stone grain, hundreds of thousands of lives, if I lose these grains, if I starve these people to death, they will no longer be able to stand between heaven and earth, and the goal they want will be achieved, in order to achieve this goal, they will do everything they can, so the division will plan in advance, because they will inevitably attack the grain convoy." ”

"But we continued to probe along the way, and we didn't find any signs of looting." Cheng Chumo and Liu Renshi spoke almost at the same time.

Li Yun glanced at the two apprentices, and suddenly asked with deep meaning: "Back then, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo three times, and the family used to communicate with Liaodong, and now we want to establish the Bohai Kingdom, why can't the family communicate with Liaodong again?" ”

Cheng Chumo and Liu Renshi were stunned for a moment, and vaguely understood what Li Yun meant, Cheng Chumo reacted relatively quickly, and soon said with a surprised face: "Master, do you mean to say that the family is going to join forces with Goguryeo this time?" ”

Liu Renshi gradually reacted, and blurted out: "No wonder there is no danger along the way, it turns out that they want to borrow Goguryeo's soldiers......"

The two apprentices glanced at each other and subconsciously said, "In other words, the place where they are going to do it is not in the pass!" ”

Li Yun suddenly exhaled a breath, stretched out his hand and picked up the two drum urns and golden hammers, and said leisurely: "I've been looking forward to it these days, hoping that they can send more soldiers, the scenery of the Liao River here is excellent, the wind and snow are like a canopy, suitable for burying human bones, not afraid of blood and pestle, the heart of the teacher is always not ruthless enough, I want to be the first ruthless person in the Tang Dynasty in the future!" ”

While speaking, the whole person inexplicably gave birth to a murderous aura, and the snow was fluttering all over the sky, and the murderous aura soared into the sky.

Cheng Chumo became excited, licked the corners of his mouth and looked in the direction of Liaodong, and said: "Master, we are reasonable people, right, if they are good, let's let them live, if they are not good......"

Liu Renshi roared urgently, and said with an excited face: "If they are not well-behaved, our master and apprentice will be able to convince people with virtue!" ”

The weapon of this goods is the overlord halberd, on which there are more than a dozen "de" words crookedly engraved, it is said that all of them were engraved by his own hands, killing one person to carve a word, and swearing to carve the weapon densely in this life.

The three masters and apprentices stood on the Liao River against the wind and snow. Although the weather is very cold, their blood is hot, the master wants to be the first ruthless man in the Tang Dynasty, and the two apprentices are ready to compete for the second ruthless man.
