Li Nan rescued Shu'er that year, because her parents died, so she was sent to Tokyo City to be at the home of her uncle Li Ge.

After a few years of hurried, Li Shu'er has already grown up and emerged in the literary scene of Tokyo, and many young talents have begun to pursue her, one of whom is Zhao Mingcheng, the youngest son of Zhao Tingzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty.

Li Shu'er's uncle Li Ge is a member of the same party as Prime Minister Zhao Tingzhi, so there is no need to ask anyone's opinion, and this family matter is decided.

Just last year, when the two were preparing for their wedding, the political tumbler Cai Jing won the phase again and began to fight back against his old rival Zhao Tingzhi.

After Cai Jing took office, he once again used the matter of party strife to fight the opponent, Li Shu'er's father Li Gefei was a disciple of Su Shi, so she was also charged with being a member of the Yuanyou Party.

After stepping down, Zhao Tingzhi was worried about Cai Jing's revenge every day, so he was deeply afraid that Li Shu'er would implicate him, so he kicked the bride out of the house on the day of the wedding to prove that he had nothing to do with the Yuanyou party.

Zhao Tingzhi's heart is ruthless enough, but Cai Jing, who has become the prime minister again, wants to kill him, so why do you need any excuse?

didn't need Cai Jing to take action, his own lackeys came forward and put Zhao Tingzhi and his family members in prison on fabricated charges.

After Zhao Tingzhi was imprisoned, he asked people to ask His Royal Highness King Ding, who had taken refuge in him, for help, but the emperor's eldest son Zhao Huan was cowardly and incompetent, indecisive and capricious. Because he was worried about angering Cai Jing, he turned a deaf ear, and five days later, the former prime minister Zhao Tingzhi died of illness.

After listening to Lord He's story about the situation in Beijing, Li Nan didn't care about the political struggle between Zhao Tingzhi and Cai Jing, but asked: "Dare to ask my lord, what happened to my cousin Li Shu'er?" ”

Lord He sighed: "Alas! The little lady was kicked out of the house by her husband's family on the day of her wedding, and her uncle Li Ge didn't dare to mess with the Yuanyou party, so the official didn't know where she was. ”

Thinking of the little girl with pink makeup back then, Li Nan never expected her fate to be so troubled, it seems that he needs to find her, nothing else can help, but at least he can give some money to let her live this life in peace.

Everyone chatted while drinking, and unconsciously drank a lot of wine, and Zhang Shuye, who was originally taciturn, also spoke more.

Because of Li Nan's conversation with Master He, there was no doubt about his identity in the eyes of the three of them, so they did not shy away from talking about the counterinsurgency strategy.

After listening to a few words, Li Nan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's a blessing to be able to talk with you adults today, but I don't dare to know about military affairs, so I let the boy retire." ”

"Oh, that's good." Lord He smiled and said, "When you arrive in Tokyo, the official will definitely entertain you well in Fan Tower." ”

Zhang Shuye was still a little wary of Li Nan, but when he saw that he was about to leave the table, he immediately became suspicious, and also reminded kindly: "Now that there is chaos on Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan Road, it is recommended that you better avoid these two places and go north." ”

Li Nan smiled and said meaningfully: "Thank you for mentioning it, then we will see you again in the future." ”

Leaving the Red Powder Building, on the way back to the inn, Ashur asked curiously: "Master, I can understand that you want to contact Zhang Shuye, the leader of the place, but why did you leave when they were talking about military strategy?" ”

"Hehehe......"

Li Nan chuckled and said: "With the five soldiers and horses that have been rotten in the Great Song Dynasty, even if Zhang Shuye is Zhuge Wuhou alive, it will not help. I came to Qinzhou City this time to see him as a person, not to find out about their plans. ”

"Why does the master attach so much importance to this Zhang Shuye?" Ashur was still puzzled.

"There is a book in my study called "History of the Song Dynasty", you can take a good look at it when you have time, and after reading it, you will know why I value him so much."

During the period of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were a lot of outstanding ministers and generals, and if they were in the reign of other Ming monarchs, they must have been passed down through the ages.

According to historical records, Liang Shanbo's anti-thief Song Jiang led the army to crisscross more than ten state capitals in the eastern part of the Great Song Dynasty, and tens of thousands of Song soldiers were no one of their opponents, but in Haizhou, this army was defeated by Zhizhou Zhang Shuye and recruited An.

Soon after, when the Jin soldiers went south to besiege the city of Tokyo, in the entire Song Dynasty dozens of state capitals, only Zhang Shuye led tens of thousands of military horses to rush to King Qin's escort.

Due to the fine tradition of suppressing martial artists in the Great Song Dynasty, Li Nan never worried about those military generals.

No matter how powerful these generals are, when they lead the troops to fight, they will be subject to all kinds of constraints from the emperor, the courtiers, and the prison army, and in fact, they will not be able to exert fifty percent of their strength.

But the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were different, especially the all-round civil officials like Zhang Shuye, such a figure was the big trouble that Li Nan needed to worry about.

For example, this time, the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to recruit Li Nan, who rebelled, not to mention the five-way expedition envoy, and even the position of the governor of one of the roads, the military generals were not qualified to hold it.

Don't look at the prison army Sun Fu is quite polite to Zhang Shuye, that's because he is a civil official, if he changes to a military general to lead the troops here, then Sun Jian Jun probably doesn't even have the interest of eating at the same table with him.

Zhang Shuye couldn't fight for a long time, and withdrew his troops to defend on Guangnan West Road, and Tokyo City just sent Lord He to reprimand a few words, if the military general did this, it is estimated that this person's head would have disappeared long ago.

After meeting Zhang Shuye in person, there was no need to stay in Qinzhou City for a long time, so Li Nan and the others left the city the next day and continued to go north.

At present, there is a rebellion on Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road, and it stands to reason that it should be avoided here, and it is more appropriate to walk from other state capitals, but Li Nan knows that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to Tiger Mountain.

Of course, Li Nan chose this route not to cause trouble on purpose, but because Hangzhou is on Liangzhejiang Road.

In the Song Dynasty, land transportation was not as developed as water transportation, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was the fastest mode of transportation from Tokyo to the south.

Ludia and the others went to Tokyo City to recover the last money they had defrauded back from the Liao Kingdom and the Song Kingdom, so there was definitely a lot of silver money that needed to be transported.

According to Li Nan's estimate, nine times out of ten, they will choose convenient and fast water transportation, so Li Nan plans to take people from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the north, searching for their traces along the way.

After leaving Qinzhou City, Li Nan and his entourage passed through the state, and finally left Fujian Road a few days later and entered Liangzhejiang Road, Fang La's sphere of influence.

Fang La's soldiers and horses now numbered hundreds of thousands, and he had just captured the big city of Hangzhou not long ago, so the Fujian Road pacification envoy was so frightened that he hurriedly transferred most of the garrison to the state capital adjacent to the Liangzhejiang Road.

The convoy entered Fang La's territory, and after traveling for half a day, the scenery in front of them was completely different.

The temperature in the two Zhejiang regions was still very high in October, but the paddy fields on both sides of the road were empty, and from the black fly ash scattered everywhere, it can be inferred that the crops here were also burned by Fang Lan's gang.

Although everyone is a thief, in terms of treating the people, Li Nan hates Fang La more than Song Jiang.

Song Jiang made a small fuss, and the first people who revolted were also Liang Shanbo's fishermen who couldn't eat, and those who gathered later were either bandits and bandits, or people who couldn't eat either, but Fang La was different.

Fang La, this bastard, said it very well, and he rebelled for the sake of the people of the world. In fact, in order to get more people to join his rebels, he sent people to burn down the houses of innocent people and destroy their farmland, so that the poor people who were cornered could only follow him in their desperate efforts.

Li Nan rode on a horse, and with a gloomy face, he led the convoy along the deserted road, and finally came to a small city.

Several guards pushed open the hidden city gate, and the tragic scene that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was unbearable.

From the city gate, there were many corpses lying on the streets, it was estimated that these people had been dead for a long time, and the black pressed flies were covered with rotting corpses.

"Come back quickly!" Li Nan saw that the guards wanted to enter the city to investigate, and hurriedly stopped them.

This small city full of corpses has now become a dead city, and it is estimated that there will be a disease now or in the near future, and Li Nan does not want to let his own people risk it.

After bypassing the dead city and continuing north, the convoy had just come to a dense wood, when suddenly a whistle was heard, and quite a few people came out of the forest, roughly about seven or eight hundred people.
