When the Taoist priest who had been sitting there heard this, he suddenly interjected: "Manager Li, who is this Zhu Li, why do you have to get rid of him?" ”

The Taoist priest's sudden opening made Li Ke turn his eyes, and then lit up, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Don't dare to deceive the real person, Li and Zhu Li have a grudge against the sky, not long ago, his subordinates broke through Daizhou, and tortured and killed the adults of my family, not killing Zhu Li, Li Mou is a son of man in vain." ”

Li Ke used a terrible and angry voice, which made the Taoist frown, and wondered: "Why did his subordinates break through Daizhou and kill Li Gong?" ”

"Real people don't know." Li Keyong cleaned up his emotions, sighed, and continued: "This Zhu Li was originally the assassin of Shuozhou, and was ordered to go south to King Qin to recover Chang'an, but his people are wolf ambitions; Li Sigong, the assassin of Youzhou, was also in the army of King Qin at that time, so he took the opportunity to instigate Gao Su, the general under his command, to secretly attack the Hetao, provoke a war for no reason, and harm the locality, causing the people in the Hetao area to be displaced and devastated. ”

"After the matter was revealed, Zhu Li conspired to rebel, and the court announced it to the world, and the whole country wanted it; Li was ordered to chase after him, and finally caught up with this person at Weiqiao and annihilated his army, but as a result, this person's life should not be extinguished, and he fell into Weishui with heavy damage; But his subordinates got the news and knew that Li forced him into Weishui, so he immediately broke through Daizhou and killed my lord. Li Ke was inexplicably sad, he would never have thought that Zhu Li would send more than 60,000 Cao Army prisoners to Shuozhou so quickly, and with the command of Meng Juehai, the fierce general of the Yuan Cao Army, the combat power of these prisoners was not weak at all, resulting in the more than 10,000 Shatuo troops he left behind in Daizhou to be vulnerable at all.

His bitterness is real, people are not as good as heaven, if he knew this result, he would not choose to deal with Zhu Li rashly no matter what; He complained to the Taoist priest because he knew the identity of this Taoist priest, and he was definitely a master of the world, and this person was the head of the Yanshan Quanzhen Sect.

Hai Toad, the common name Liu Hai Toad, the ancestor of the Southern Sect of Taoism, Zhang Ziyang, the real person of Ziyang in the Song Dynasty, is his disciple.

At that time, Li Keyong's ancestors were rescued by the elders of Hai Toad's family, and under the influence and teaching of that old Taoist, he promised to guard the border town for the Tang Dynasty for generations.

Now that he has no one to send, it is just when this old way has traveled here, how can he not take advantage of it, and those who have studied Li Keyong know that this person's character is very complex, cruel, rude, delicate, deceitful, etc., at the same time, it is simply a collection of contradictions.

In order to get the help of this worldly master, he pretended to be very pitiful and aggrieved.

Seeing that he was sincere and inexplicable, the sea toad sighed: "How difficult the world is, there are always traitors rampant, forget it, this Zhu Li, the old Taoist will send someone to help you deal with it; However, please don't forget the original promise, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty survives, the Shatuo clan will stick to their duty and guard the border towns for the people of the Central Plains. ”

After thinking about it, Hai Toad decided to help Li Ke with a handful, and by the way, reminded the other party again that they wanted them to keep their promises; Although the vein of the sea toad is beyond the world, it has been living in seclusion in Yanshan, and naturally understands the suffering of the people in the north, but the help that these Taoist priests can give to the people is very limited.

The ancients attached great importance to their homeland and nation, and for Taoism, which was born and raised in the Central Plains, there was naturally no exception, except for the scum, of course.

Seeing that the other party was willing to help him deal with Zhu Li, Li Keyong hurriedly said: "Real people can rest assured, Li can promise now, and Li Keyong will be a Tang man with his duty for the rest of his life." ”

"Okay, I hope you say and do the way, don't make a big mistake like Ling Zun." Hai Toad looked directly at Li Keyong, and said seriously, he didn't happen to travel here, Li Guochang and Li Keyong had only heard about the riot recently, and he had only come here once, otherwise, he would never mind, if a leader appeared in the Shatuo people, he would kill one.

------ Dividing Line------

Hetao area, west of the Shuo side, south of the river, the river, the left side of the river.

Now that Hedong is still in the hands of Zheng Congyan, there is no need to worry about it; Shuo Fang Jiedu made Li Xuanli and Zhu Li and others have no deep hatred, although Shuo Fang's former governing place Lingzhou, now most of it is in the hands of Gao Su, but this is not Gao Su snatched from Li Xuanli, but was originally occupied by the party members, so there is no direct conflict between the two sides.

The most important thing to pay attention to is the three towns in the south, Wang Chongying from the Suining Jiedu, Li Xiaochang from the Yanyan Jiedu, and Wang Chongrong from the river.

Wang Chongrong was enshrined as the inspector of the school, the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, the king of Langya County, and then returned to the army to garrison in the river.

The sad thing is that Pu, Jin, Jiang, Ci, and Xi should all belong to his place of moderation, but now except for Xizhou, the other four states are in the hands of Li Keyong, and the only Xizhou is still under the attack of Fu Cunxian, and he now has to occupy Tongzhou and Danzhou as a solid land, saying that he has no ideas in his heart, it is impossible.

Wang Chongying controlled the three continents of Qing, Ning, and Pi, of which Qingzhou bordered Yanzhou in Hetao, and Gao Su ordered Zhang Xian to go out of Yanzhou, and Cao Shixiong was the deputy general to confront Wang Chongying.

Li Xiaochang controlled Yanzhou, Yanzhou, and Fangzhou, of which Yanzhou bordered Suizhou in Hetao, and Gao Su ordered Zhang Jingda to go out of Suizhou, and Li Chongba was the deputy general to confront Li Xiaochang.

Gao Su also sent Wang Chongyin out of Zhenlingzhou, Meng Juehai out of Zhenyouzhou, Wang Jing sat in Xiazhou, Yao Lingsheng and Yin, and also controlled other generals.

And Gao Su himself personally went north to Jiuyuan and confronted Fengzhou and the Di people in the north.

In the garrison tent of Jiuyuan, Gao Su was spitting at a big monk with an unkind face, this monk mango shoes, monk robes, and carrying a big bag, it was the cloth bag monk.

"Monk, you still have the face to appear in front of me, I asked you to secretly protect my family envoy last time, but you slipped away after saving the two adults, causing my family envoy to almost die in Weishui, you unreliable dead monk still dare to appear, don't tell me anything about cause and effect in the future, you set, I will never believe it again."

In the face of Gao Su's oncoming spittle star, the Budai monk looked calm and indifferent, raised his hands to his chest, and said leisurely: "Amitabha, the monk came today to talk to the general about your envoy. ”

Gao Su was stunned when he heard this, looked at the cloth bag monk suspiciously, and hesitated: "What's the matter, is there any danger to the envoy?" Don't fool me, news came from Shuozhou just now, so that Jun is very good in the south. ”

"The monks don't speak, although Zhu Yuanjun is safe and sound now, but in the future, can the donor guarantee that he will always be safe?"

When Gao Su heard this, his face changed instantly, others may not know, he knows the ability of this monk, he has always suspected that this monk is an important person in a mysterious organization, not to mention the high martial arts, the news is also very well-informed, and the news that came out of his mouth was almost not missed.

"Monk, what did you hear again?"

The cloth bag monk glanced at him lightly, did not sell the guanzi, and said calmly: "The imperial court dispatched a master, Yanshan also dispatched a master, and the monk also heard that Li Sigong and the Nanzhao people have some contact, for what, there is no need for the monk to say it." ”

Hearing this, Gao Su's eyes turned into a dangerous arc, tried to calm his emotions, and said cautiously: "With Jun's skills, can he handle it?" ”

When the Budai monk heard this, he thought for a while, and then said: "If your envoy's martial arts are still at the level that the monk saw in Guanzhong, most of them will not be able to cope with it. ”

"Can't handle all three?" Gao Su was shocked.

"At least the person dispatched by the imperial court, and the person dispatched by Yanshan, you envoys can't deal with it; As for who Nanzhao dispatched, the monks did not know, their most troublesome thing was not how strong their martial arts were, but some strange methods. "Budai monk said seriously.

When Gao Su heard this, his expression was a little anxious, but he suddenly saw the calm expression of the great monk, and his heart gradually calmed down, and asked with a serious face: "Master, do you have a way to solve this problem?" ”

Hearing this, the cloth bag monk nodded.

When Gao Su saw it, it was really so, and hurriedly salivated and said, "What are you waiting for, then the master is begging you to make another move." ”

Hearing this, the Budai monk nodded, shook his head again, stretched out a hand, raised his five fingers, and shook it towards Gao Su, seeing that Gao Su was confused, and he didn't know why, and wondered: "What do you mean?" ”

"Five thousand taels." The cloth bag monk confided indifferently.

When Gao Su heard this, his expression was suddenly startled, as if he understood something, and suddenly stood up, and said angrily at the monk: "Dead monk, why don't you die, five thousand taels, you can't make up it if you sell me." ”

The Budai monk turned a deaf ear to his anger, and said calmly: "You can raise it, and I'll tell you the news for free, there are mines in Yinzhou, silver mines, if you send someone to dig them, five thousand taels is just a drop in the bucket, and the monk wants money, just to be enough, never more." ”

The cloth bag monk had a solemn face, and his expression was extremely serious, so that Gao Su couldn't find fault if he wanted to doubt, if what this monk said was true, then it would be developed in the future, and this was simply a great thing for pie in the sky.

Thinking of this, his expression changed again, his smile was like a flower, and he even said a little flatteringly: "Silver Mine, is what you said true?" ”

"Amitabha, the monks don't speak, I can take you to the place where the silver mine is located." The Budai monk's expression was firm, and the color of the divine stick was more thorough.

When Gao Su heard this, he laughed and said happily: "Master, if you can really find a silver mine, let alone five thousand taels, ten thousand taels is no problem, but I hope that the master will be able to bring my family back safely this time." ”

When the Budai monk heard this, he did not agree directly, but thought about it carefully, and then said helplessly: "I can only promise to help him get rid of this calamity, and this time I will not go in person, but ask an old friend for help, so I dare not agree." ”

Looking at the cloth bag monk with a cautious face, although Gao Su was a little unwilling, he hesitated for a moment, and still said happily: "Deal." ”
