Ling Hu Zao then said: "In this autumn of Cheng's critical survival, the pressure exerted by Zaitang on us is not insignificant, but fortunately, the armament of our Pinglu army has been on par with the neighboring Huaihai. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shigu nodded, and then took down the simple and strong firearm from Binglan, "This bee gun is indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of our military craftsmen. ”

After speaking, he aimed the gun at Ling Hu Zao, Ling Hu Zao didn't know whether Li Shigu had ammunition or not, but he knew that this bee gun was cast very casually, so he hurriedly dodged a few feet to the left, and then stood upright.

There are five or six tubes on the head of the bee gun, flashing with copper light, each short gun tube is dragged with a twist, which can be lit separately, or it can be ignited together, and there is a thick iron rod with six flutes grinding angles in the middle, which can be clamped and cast, and can also be used as a hammer to smash after casting, Li Shigu is particularly favored by it, and often says that the generals in the palace say that Huaihai Gaoyue is how to train the soldiers, I will follow the back to learn, but in fact, I don't know that I secretly have a small hand different from Gao Yue.

In addition, Li Shigu also hired a large number of blacksmiths from Bohai and Silla to cast general cannons for him, and said that he had summed up the lesson of Li Qi's defeat at Gao Yue's hands, that is, there were too few cannons, and the Pinglu army would also have to be firearms in the future, and it would also engage in infantry, artillery, and cavalry joint operations.

"As long as it can be delayed for two to three years, and the Pinglu Army is reborn, which is enough to fight with Wu Yijun, I will not be afraid of the imperial court." What Li Shigu urgently needs now is time.

And Linghu's plan happens to be related to delay, "Under the festival, you might as well take the lead in going to Shuzaitang, saying that you are willing to offer the three states of Hai, Yi and Mi for the imperial court to build a new line in the province." ”

"You dare to call me a traitor!" Li Shigu was very angry, and moved the bee gun at Linghu Zao, and Linghu quickly flashed back to its original position, "The three states of Hai, Yi, and Mi are the most barren, mountainous and water-scarce, traffic jams, and sparse people (even the Kukai monks from Japan complain about underdevelopment), removing these three states is just a dime for my town, and then I said that I am willing to hand over these three states to the adjacent Xu Si Wuning Army, build a bank province independently, and win over Zhang Fushi (Jianfeng)." At the same time, Tang Mutian can be set up in Dongdai, and the court is also on the table, saying that he is willing to exchange Dongdai, so that the holy lord and the prime minister can get the sealed Zen land without blood, and they will be even more happy. ”

"......" Li Shigu faintly felt that what Ling Huzao said made some sense.

"And the family temple matter reprimanded by Zaitang before, please also deign to the festival, and move the gods of my grandfather and great-ancestor out temporarily, in short, it is to please the imperial court, the imperial court has a province, and it has to be Dongdai, and they are all happy, so there is no reason to ask us, and then the festival will also suggest that Wei Bozhen also dedicate Xiangzhou and Weizhou on the west side, so that the imperial court can merge it into the new province of Xingzhongshu."

"Oh?" Li Shigu's eyes lit up.

Hai, Yi, and Mi are dispensable for the Pinglu army, but Xiangwei is much more important to Wei Botianxiong's army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is its gateway, once Xiangwei is gone, the imperial court can continue to send troops from the Taihang Fukou and Heyang lines, and go deep into the heart of the Weizhou Daimyo Mansion, which is almost impossible to defend, and the Tian clan will be in danger.

"In other words, Wei Bo will never give in."

"However, when the time comes, the Tian clan will inevitably rise up against the Tang Dynasty, and then help at this time, how can the Tian clan not swear to obey each other? And once the Pinglu Army and the Tianxiong Army are united, my Haiyi Mi really doesn't have to sacrifice it. With my plan, even if the imperial court is only satisfied with my three states and does not ask Wei Bo for a guard, then it is a good policy to exchange the sacrifice of the three states for three years of time to train the whole army and martial arts. ”

"Hmm......" Li Shigu bowed his head and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shigu took Linghu Zao as his own marching Sima, and drove to the newly built Jinjuan in Chang'an again, and then carried the map of Sanzhou on behalf of himself, and paid money to the imperial court, saying that Li Shigu of the Pinglu Army was sincerely afraid, and only Zaitang was the head of the horse, and he was willing to sacrifice the land of Haiyi to the imperial court, and was willing to sacrifice the land within fifty miles around Dongdai, and at the same time made the fox to sycophernate the prime ministers in every way, saying that the new policy of Zhenyuan came out, and the local military towns went down to the festival marshal down to the people, all of which were better than drought and rain, Since I, Ziqing, am willing to return the Sanzhou edition first, should Wei Bo also express it?

The prime ministers of the imperial court quickly gave advice on how to deal with it:

Ziqing did very right, and then Haiyi was merged into the Xu Si Wuning Army, and built the "Huaibei Xingzhongshu Province", the original Wuning Jiedu envoy and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Zhang Jianfeng shot the provincial Pingzhang matter with the right servant of Shangshu Province, and dismissed the Xuzhou Thorn History, and sent officials by the court to replace it, since then the provincial Pingzhang and the state of the state of the assassin history of the division of powers;

The reason is that during the Anshi Rebellion, Xue Song turned away from Shi Chaoyi and returned to the court, so he returned the four states of Xiang, Wei, Wei and Xing to the imperial court, and now the imperial court wants to return the things to the original owners again, and let the two states of Xiang and Wei merge with the Yicheng army of Zheng and Hua, and the Heyang army of Huaizhou to establish a new "Hanoi Xingzhongshu Province".

As soon as the hall came out, the next day there was a fire incident in the Yongxing Courtyard and the residence of the Wei Bo Concert Courtyard and the Ziqing Concert Academy.

Wei Bo Jinju Yuan took the lead in boiling:

Fifty tooth soldiers who had just entered Chang'an from the Daimyo's Mansion to guard the mansion heard that Ziqing not only sold his land to the imperial court, but also dragged me Wei Bo into the water, and they were all furious, and Qiu Jiang, the official of the palace, shouted to them: "I Wei Bo is in danger, I will cut Xiangwei today, and I will cut the Daimyo's Mansion tomorrow, and the livelihood of 100,000 soldiers will be completely lost, and today I will kill Pinglu Dog and kill Ziqing Fox (command fox to make)." ”

"Slaughter dogs and foxes!" In the mansion of the Jinju Academy, Wei Bo's soldiers shouted such slogans angrily, each bit their fingers, wrote their last words of blood, and pasted them on the newspaper of the mansion, and then picked up the sword, raised the fire, put on the iron armor, and set off from the old Zuo Jinwu Guard Courtyard where the mansion was located, so that the officials in Chang'an City, who were accustomed to a luxurious and weak life, could see what was the abundant martial arts from Yannan Heshuo!

And over there, the sons and daughters of the Ziqing Mansion who learned the news were not to be outdone, and they all copied the cutting-edge bee guns, and also dipped blood in the newspaper or on the wall of the mansion to write the words "Swear to kill the Wei thief and repay the festival", and then set off from the Hoen Temple in the southwest corner of Yongxingfang.

The two sides met on the cross street, without saying a word, erected flags, lined up in formation, first shot with firearms to fill the smoke with gunpowder, and then began to raise swords and sticks, and the scuffle was a mess, so that the people of Yongxingfang hid in the cellar, and the officials who lived here all avoided over the wall.

The county order of Wannian County flew to the Cardinal's Academy, and Jia Tan was shocked, and hurriedly dispatched the Imperial City Division and the Shenwei Army to Yongxingfang to suppress it.

Several disciples of the Imperial City Division of Yongxingfang came out first, shouting for a ceasefire between the two sides, but they were mistakenly attacked by the guards of the Pinglu Army who squinted in the smoke of gunpowder, and a group of bees flew in, and one was killed and one wounded.

After the Shenwei army entered, captured all the soldiers on both sides, and closed the Jinjuan Temple, they found that there were more than a dozen corpses on the cross street, most of which were fire and soldiers, and two were innocent civilians.

Then everyone was escorted to Jingzhao Mansion, where they were personally interrogated by a commissioner sent by Zaitang.
