Shi Pu and Chen Fan, these two people were instantly written down by Zhu Li, and they were included in the list of those who must be killed without hesitation, but if you want to get rid of the two, it is not easy.

How to cut off the two thieves and change the Xuzhou villagers to a better parent official has become a problem.

Zhu Li frowned, looked around blankly, and suddenly saw Xiao Lang, who was the first boy they saved, this Xiao Lang's name was Wang Zeng, who had almost starved to death before, until now, Wang Zeng's face still had a palpitating look.

Since Zhu Li and others rescued him, he knew that there was no food anywhere else except Zhu Li, so he was very funny and didn't leave.

"Wang Zeng, you seem to have said that the probation army is on the expedition again, who is the target of their expedition?" Seeing Wang Zeng, Zhu Li asked casually.

Wang Zeng was very happy when he saw the kind-hearted general talking to him, and hurriedly said: "General, I happen to know this, I heard those rent-collecting officers say that the probation army is recruiting grass thieves, it seems that it is a stream of grass thieves who have flowed to Xuzhou, and the leader seems to be called Shang Rang." ”

"Shang Rang?" Zhu Li was shocked, "Do you know where the grass army is now?" ”

"I don't know." Wang Zeng shook his head and replied a little embarrassedly, he just happened to hear these news, and he wrote it down invisibly, first of all, he didn't listen to it carefully, plus those people were also chatting and didn't confide much, so it was naturally impossible to know everything.

"Zaixing, you and Jing Ming go out to inquire, I want to know about Shang Rang's situation?" Zhu Li immediately instructed.

"No"

Yang Zaixing and Jing Ming turned around and went out of the door, untied their horses in the courtyard, jumped on their war horses, and took a dozen ghost warriors out of the small courtyard directly, and ran out of Yongfengli Town, not knowing where to go to listen to the news.

The people who stayed behind selected vacant houses that could be repaired and sorted out as temporary residences, and Zhu Li sent the purchased grain to the homes of the inhabited villagers, and at the same time let people buy some cotton clothes, quilts and other daily necessities, all of which were given to the villagers.

A group of people, after waiting for two days, Yang Zaixing and Jing Ming came back.

"How's it going, is there any news?" Seeing Yang Zaixing, Zhu Li immediately asked.

"General, since Huang Chao was defeated and left Chang'an, he has been fleeing eastward, trying to escape to the land of Yan and Xu, but Zhu Wen chased too closely and forced the grass army to deviate from the direction."

"Some time ago, when we were still in Yangzhou, Huang Chao had already broken through Caizhou and forced Caizhou to assassinate Qin Zongquan; Now Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan are in one place and are attacking Chenzhou. Yang Zaixing hurriedly replied.

Zhu Li frowned when he heard this, he mainly wanted to know Shang Rang's news, so he continued to ask: "What happened to Shang Rang's flow to Xuzhou?" ”

Jing Ming interjected: "Envoy, the reason why Shang Rang fled to Xuzhou was caused by the failure of Huangchao's strategy to attack Chenzhou. ”

"Hmm, what's going on?"

"Huang Chao attacked Chenzhou, the troops were divided into three routes, Huang Chao and Qin Zongquan's troops went out to Cai and launched an attack on Chenzhou from the west; Meng Kai, the general of the grass army, marched into Yingzhou, left Shenqiu, and attacked Chenzhou from the south; The general Shang Rang, the garrison Taikang, attacked from the east. ”

Jing Ming was talking, Yang Zaixing couldn't help it, and directly interjected and said: "It's just that Zhao Li, the assassin of Chenzhou, is a fierce man, not only swore to stick to Chenzhou, but also killed Meng Kai, the general of the grass army, and cut off the connection between Huangchao and Shangrang, and in desperation, Huangchao sent Qin Zongquan to replace Meng Kai; But at this time, there was another Zhu Wen in Chenzhou, Zhao Li and Zhu Wen united, and Huangchao's plan to attack Chenzhou was even more difficult to achieve. ”

"Huang Chao had the heart to retreat, so he ordered Shang Rang in the east to let him advance eastward, intending to take Xuzhou, and now, Shi Pu's probation army, Shang Rang's grass army, is facing Xiao County."

"Did they go to war?"

"Not yet, it's just a standoff."

When Zhu Li heard this, his expression eased slightly, turned to look at Yan Keqiu, and said: "Sir, if I sneak into the grass army and go out to fight, how many percent can I be sure of the two thieves of Pu and Chen Fan?" ”

Yan Keqiu heard this, frowned, smacked his mouth, and after a while, he arched his hand and said: "General, if the general really wants to act like this, the chance of killing Shi Pu, Chen Fan and others is indeed very great; But did the general ever think about it, if Shi Pu, Chen Pan and others were killed, who would take over Xuzhou, and if Xuzhou fell into the hands of Huang Chao, what was the difference between this and being in the hands of Shi Pu? I'm afraid that the general is busy, and it's just the result of sending a tiger at the back door and a wolf at the front door. ”

"You can let the Korean taxi control Xuzhou." Wang Zeng said suddenly.

"Go, make you decide big things, children don't interfere indiscriminately." Wang Zeng's interjection made Yang Zaixing very dissatisfied, and casually reprimanded.

After being reprimanded by Yang Zaixing, Wang Zeng's small face was very aggrieved, and he muttered in a low voice and retorted: "Korean scholar, very famous, ambitious, and treats our people very well, but no one believes him." ”

Zhu Li didn't think that the Korean taxi in the little guy's mouth was very powerful, but the name was very bluffing, but when he saw the little guy's aggrieved look, he couldn't help but comfort: "Keeping the people in mind, the Korean taxi you said Wang Zeng said is at least not a bad person." ”

When Yang Zaixing heard this, he knew that Zhu Li was comforting Wang Zeng, but with his gossip character, he still couldn't help but say: "I don't know if you know, this Korean scholar's subordinates have also heard of it, this is a superb person, this person's real name is Han Pheasant, in order to attract the attention of the government, this person boasts of the art of war, all of them are perfect, and the countryman is unparalleled, and he pretends to live in seclusion in Yunlong Mountain." ”

"But this person can't even afford to raise himself, and sometimes he will do that act of stealing chickens and touching dogs, and people are disgusted by everyone, not only the former Wuning Jiedu envoy Zhi Shen is unwilling to deal with him, but even the current Shi Pu can't look down on him."

When Zhu Li heard this, he smiled dumbly, and such characters are really a big world, and there are no surprises.

But Wang Zeng saw that the person he admired was so unbearable by Yang Zaixing, and hurriedly retorted: "Guoshi once said that Haojie has more dog slaughterers, and he is always a scholar, filling his stomach, waiting for the opportunity, what is a little infamy, just wait for him to rise day by day, and the hero will help Cangli in a hundred battles." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Yang Zaixing was stunned, but also Zhu Li and Yan Keqiu, if these words were really said by the notorious person, it can be seen that he is absolutely extraordinary, at least not pedantic, but also a resolute person who endures humiliation and burden.

Yang Zaixing thinks about himself, in his life, didn't he also mix in the market before, not long ago, he also suffered a life lawsuit, two lives, he naturally thinks he is a hero, he has never looked down on himself, and he is also very high, but he is not as arrogant and shameless as this so-called national soldier, although he is a conceited hero, he has never complained about it, and preached it everywhere.

And the Han Pheasant in Wang Zeng's mouth, thicker than him, is that Han Pheasant prides himself very high, and he still preaches it everywhere, as if others don't know.

When Zhu Li heard this, he seemed to realize something, looked at Xiao Wang Zeng seriously, and said solemnly: "Do you know Han Pheasant?" ”

Wang Zeng saw the inquiry, nodded lightly, and said embarrassedly: "The Korean scholar is in Xuzhou, almost no one knows it, before the autumn harvest this year, when I was about to starve to death, he appeared in Yongfengli, gave me two chicken legs, and took care of me for several days before leaving. ”

"Didn't you say that he lived in seclusion in Yunlong Mountain?" Yan Keqiu is puzzled.

When Xiao Wang heard this, his little face turned even redder, and he snorted: "He claims to live in seclusion in Yunlong Mountain, but he will also go down the mountain to find food, and sometimes he will walk around." ”

It seems that the rumors that this person stole chickens and dogs are by no means groundless. However, this person attracted Zhu Li's attention, and he wanted to meet this person.

Yan Keqiu's analysis made Zhu Li not act rashly, and his worries were very reasonable.

If it is really done according to Zhu Li's plan, even if Shi Pu, Chen Fan and others are killed, it is difficult to guarantee that Xuzhou will not fall into the hands of Huang Chao, and with Huang Chao's usual practice, it is difficult to guarantee that the people of Xuzhou will not be swept away by him.

Before killing Shi Pu and others, it is best to find a person with outstanding ability and caring for the people to replace him, and the Han pheasant that Wang Zeng said made Zhu Li think of a person.

He wanted to meet the man and confirm his guess.

Yunlong Mountain, also known as Shifo Mountain.

The mountain is winding like a dragon, roaring in the east and the sky, and trailing in the southwest; The mountain scenery is beautiful, and the lake is clear.

Since he decided to meet Han Pheasant, of course Zhu Li would not just say nothing, and the next day, he took Wang Zeng and Yang Zaixing to drive horses to Yunlong Mountain.

Yunlong Mountain is not big, and the three of them walked around for two or three hours, but they didn't find Han Pheasant.

When it was nearly noon, the three of them entered the Stone Buddha Temple, this ancient temple, was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was repaired once in the Xingyuan Dynasty, because there was a big stone Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty in the temple, so it was named.

Although it coincides with the troubled times, and in recent years, the Stone Buddha Temple is still full of tourists, among the visitors who come, there are not only good men and women who worship the Buddha, but also the literati and scholars who come for the cliff stone carving.

There are even more people who choose a relatively open place, build a huge stage, and perform songs and dances, which is the most prestigious "Seven Virtues Dance" in the Tang Dynasty, "Seven Virtues Dance" Everyone may not be familiar with, it is "Qin King Breaking Array Dance".

It tells the story of Taizong Li Shimin's big break Liu Wuzhou, the servants dance very beautifully, the left circle, the right, the first deviation, the second Wu, Yuli, the goose through, Ji Zhang, the wing Shu, staggered flexion and stretching, the head and tail back and forth, back and forth, stabbing back and forth, thinking that the battle array.

It's just that before the play was finished, a sigh suddenly came from the audience, and a man shouted: ""Seven Virtues" is beautiful, but it is more than sonorous, but it is not heroic enough; is not as good as the hundred opera "Song of the Great Wind", which can better show the spirit of the man who is high-spirited and fights the sword in the world. ”

One word shocked a thousand waves, and countless people looked sideways, hatred, anger, scolding, etc., and they were instantly restless, like a hundred birds in the forest, endlessly.

You must know that "Dance of Seven Virtues" has been polished, processed, and perfected by Emperor Taizong himself, and this person who suddenly spoke out commented on "Dance of Seven Virtues", which is simply rebellious.
