"Smack~"

The Datong army soldier slapped himself hard and roared: "The subordinate is indeed a fool. ”

Then, he raised his head and asked Lao Wang Gui hopefully, "What will the subordinates do next?" ”

Lao Wang Gui said coldly: "Give the horses and furs you captured to the people of the Yeqi tribe, and then enter the city to grab them again." ”

The soldiers of the Datong Army were stunned and said: "Isn't that a cheap party person......

Lao Wang Gui said with a dark face: "You know a fart, the wild beggar tribe still owes Huhou money, and they have promised to hand over part of the capture to Huhou after the war." When the time comes, we will escort you back. Your stuff is equivalent to temporarily remaining in the hands of the party. ”

"My subordinates understood."

Under the advice of Lao Wang Gui, the soldiers of the Datong army happily handed over the captured horses and furs to the party members, and then entered the city again and robbed them wildly.

……

Not far from Furuya Castle.

The wild beggar Ganbo, who had been waiting for news, finally saw the scouts rushing from the direction of Guye City.

"How?"

When the scout fell on one knee at the knee of the wild beggar, he hastened to speak.

The scout said in a deep voice: "Guye City, go down with a drum." Now it's under control. ”

"Good!"

The wild beggar shouted hello and laughed.

"Hahaha...... The army marched and continued to advance. ”

In the eyes of Ye Qi Ganbo, the Datong army took Guye City, just like handing over the name of the surrender.

From then on, he will be labeled as trustworthy.

With the Datong army, plus the heavy cavalry as the vanguard.

The wild beggar is full of spirit and confidence for no reason.

Within one day, the three cities of Xiazhou were broken.

occupies one-third of Xia State.

Li Jiqian didn't expect Ye Qi Ganbo to be so strong.

When he learned that a third of Xiazhou had fallen, his jaw was about to drop.

"How so?"

Li Jiqian is scheming, and he deeply understands that a war between the Li clan and the Yeqi tribe is inevitable.

Therefore, he had already sent people to find out the strength of the Yeqi tribe, and made layers of deployment on the territory of the Li clan.

Li Jiqian was full of confidence and felt that he was sure of dealing with the wild beggar tribe.

But he didn't expect the combat effectiveness shown by the wild beggar tribe to make him feel deeply shocked.

Li Deming stood in front of Li Jiqian with a pale face, and said in a deep voice: "According to the report of his spies, under the command of that old dog, Ye Qiganbo somehow, there is an extra heavy armored cavalry of 1,000 people. Its equipment is far superior to that of the Eagle Guards under my command. Although they are both heavily armored cavalry, my Eagle Guard is somewhat weak in front of the heavy cavalry under the command of Ye Qiganbo.

And ......"

Li Jiqian asked, "And what?" ”

Li Deming said with a solemn expression: "Moreover, Ye Qi Ganbo seems to have reached a deal with Yang Yansi of Daizhou, Ye Qi Ganbo handed over Dongsheng Prefecture to Yang Yansi, and Yang Yansi sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to help them deal with us." ”

"Yang Yansi?!"

At the mention of Yang Yansi's name, a trace of viciousness flashed in Li Jiqian's eyes, "It's him again......"

In the previous battle of Linzhou, the Li clan suffered heavy losses and had touched the roots.

This made Li Jiqian hate the folded family.

Of course, the grievances between the two families have been going on for a long time, and no matter how unforgettable this hatred is, it is not painful for both of them.

Anyway, they are all mortal enemies, and everyone is trying to find a way to kill each other.

In addition to resenting the family, Li Jiqian learned the truth of the matter from some channels, and only then did he know that the real instigator of the Battle of Linzhou was Yang Yansi.

So he also hated Yang Yansi by the way.

And Yang Yansi and Zhe Yuxun are uncles and nephews, so Li Jiqian hates Yang Yansi even more.

At the same time, after Li Jiqian learned that Yang Yansi had taken in the vicious woman who had cut off the roots of their Li family's father and son, he hated Yang Yansi even more.

Now, Yang Yansi has intervened in the party's civil war again, disrupting Li Jiqian's layout, which makes Li Jiqian eager to cramp Yang Yansi's skin.

"Yang Yansi, I want to crush your bones and scatter ashes......"

Li Jiqian was gritting his teeth and roaring.

Li Deming said in a low voice: "Dad, the top priority is to deal with the war of the wild beggar tribe......"

Li Jiqian said coldly with a faint gaze: "Since Ye Qi Ganbo wants to find death, then send him to death...... The Dingyan Army has been dormant for many years, and all the clans of this party have forgotten who is the leader of the party. ”

Li Deming exclaimed, "Dad, aren't you keeping the Dingyan Army and preparing to get a piece of the pie when the Great Song Dynasty conquers Liao again?" Now that the strength of the Dingyan Army has been exposed, isn't it a failure? ”

Later Zhou, the Great Song Dynasty, three emperors of the two dynasties, and many northern expeditions to the Liao State.

This made the ambitious Li Jiqian see a glimmer of opportunity.

Li Jiqian firmly believes that the Great Song Dynasty will invade Liao again, and the scale will be even larger.

So he has been secretly accumulating strength, ready to see the opportunity to share a piece of meat.

Therefore, in the previous Battle of Linzhou, even if Li Jiqian was attacked by someone else, he did not expose the strength of the Dingyan army.

It can be seen that Li Jiqian's plan is very big.

After Li Jiqian heard his son's words, he gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone: "Now, the Li clan is at the time of life and death, and they can't take care of it so much.

Pity...... I have been planning for more than ten years, and this moment will be exposed to people.

All of this was caused by Yang Yanhei! ”

An extremely subtle voice came into Li Jiqian's ears, and even Li Deming didn't hear it.

After Li Jiqian heard the subtle voice, he instructed Li Deming: "You go down, pass on my military order, and let Jiqian lead the Dingyan army to the battle." ”

"Son, go now."

As soon as Li Deming left, Li Jiqian knocked on the wall behind his throne with gloomy eyes.

After a while, a subtle response came from within the wall.

It seems to be a code, when the code is matched.

A portal appeared in the wall.

After Li Jiqian entered the portal, the portal automatically closed.

Behind the portal, there is a secret room.

There was an oil lamp lit in the secret room, and a soft blanket was spread on the side of the oil lamp.

A futon was placed on the blanket.

An old monk sits cross-legged on a futon, his hands folded, and recites sutras with his eyes closed.

At the side of the old monk, there stood a scrawny and dark-skinned warrior monk, whose eyes flashed like two daggers with cold light.

After Li Jiqian entered the secret room, his eyes circled on the warrior monk vigilantly, and asked the old monk in a low voice, "Are you looking for me?" ”

The old monk opened his eyes, and his eyes were like torches, full of wisdom, which did not match his face with old age spots at all.

The old monk made a handprint and whispered, "Amitayus Buddha." When he heard Li Shizhu mention Yang Yansi, the old man had a thought in his heart, and specially called Li Shizhu to come and talk about it......"

Li Jiqian squinted his eyes and said coldly, "What do you want to talk to me about?" ”

The old monk smiled kindly: "When I heard Master Li mention Yang Yansi, his words were full of hatred. Master Li should know that Lao Wei also has a period of cause and effect to end with Yang Yansi.

If Master Li Shi is willing to help Lao Wei, Lao Wei can take action to help you get rid of Yang Yansi, a big henchman. ”

Li Jiqian sneered: "Help you? Help you build the so-called Buddha kingdom? Back then, your two junior brothers set foot in the northwest in order to establish the so-called Buddha country, and were finally killed by Yang Yansi in Fengzhou. Do you want to follow in their footsteps? ”

Mentioning that the two junior brothers died at the hands of Yang Yansi, the old monk frowned obviously, and then shook his head and said, "Master Li, the old man is different from the two junior brothers. The Buddha country in Lao Gao's heart is only in the Western Regions, not in the Northwest. Lao Wei had no intention of setting foot in the place that Li Shizhu coveted. ”

Li Jiqian sneered: "Then why did you come to the northwest, if you didn't covet the northwest, just for a Yang Yanhei, wouldn't it be enough for you, the living Buddha of the Bon sect, to set foot in the northwest, right?"

With the power of your Bon Sect, you can send a warrior monk with strong martial arts to assassinate Yang Yanhe.

For example, the one next to you, I look at it as the most suitable seedling to assassinate Yang Yansi. ”

A cold light flashed in the wise eyes of the old monk, "I can't hide it, that Yang Yansi was originally the protector of the Black Tiger God under my Buddha, and he stole my Buddha's Buddha treasure privately and punished the evil thunder." Lao Qu's trip is not only to get rid of Yang Yansi, the evil obstacle who betrayed my Buddha, but also to welcome back my Buddha's Buddha treasure and punish the evil thunder. ”

Li Jiqian said thoughtfully: "Then you can go directly to Yang Yansi, why are you here with me?" ”

The old monk smiled: "First, the old monk is in the northwest, and he is not familiar with the place, so he needs the guidance of Master Li. Second, the situation in the Western Regions is now chaotic, and Lao Wei wants to form a good relationship with Li Shizhu. ”

Li Jiqian said suspiciously: "Good fate? Good karma like you said before? ”

The old monk nodded, "Yes, the old man will help you stabilize the situation in the northwest." After the deed is completed, you will send troops to the Western Regions to help Lao Qu pacify the countries of the Western Regions. ”

Li Jiqian immediately said: "Okay, I'll believe you once." I don't need you Bon monks who don't know how to die, I just need Yang Yansi's head.

Yang Yansi not only has cause and effect with you, but also has a deep hatred with me.

And this son is against me everywhere, forcing me to come up with a killer weapon that has been hidden for many years.

It's a lot of good things for me.

As soon as he dies, I can rearrange it. When the time comes, all the difficulties that stand in my way will be solved.

As long as I stabilize the northwest, I will send troops to the Western Regions to help you clear the enemies in the Western Regions. ”

"That's very good."

A flash of joy flashed in the old monk's eyes, nodded slowly, and whispered to the warrior monk beside him: "Dara, can you hear Lord Li's words?" ”

Monk Dara nodded silently.

"Go for it......"

The old monk whispered, then closed his eyes again.

Dala Warrior Monk looked at Li Jiqian in a daze.

Li Jiqian understood what the Dala warrior monk meant, and left the secret room with a cold snort.

Out of the secret room, Li Jiqian turned his head and stared at the place where the secret room was located, and said with a sarcastic smile: "What kind of Buddha treasure punishes evil heavenly thunder, nonsense." It was clearly that he fell in love with the power of the thunder in Yang Yansi's hand. Dragged the name of the Buddha treasure and wanted to keep it for himself?

Fools talk about dreams......"

Almost everyone who had heard of or seen the power of gunpowder in Yang Qi's hands wanted to keep the gunpowder for themselves.

Li Jiqian's plans are very big, how can he hand over such a sharp weapon of war to others.

Li Jiqian said that he didn't want the Bon warrior monks to help, but when it came to the critical moment, he didn't mind letting the old monk get thousands of warrior monks to die for him.

Anyway, it wasn't his own people who died, and he didn't feel distressed at all.

However, Li Jiqian seems to be plotting the old monk, and the old monk is not plotting Li Jiqian.

The old monk said that he was not interested in the northwest, but once Li Jiqian was weak and the old monk had the opportunity to eat it in one bite, how could the old monk give up this opportunity?

The cooperative relationship between the two can be seen as seeking skin with the tiger and using each other.

And, comparatively.

The cooperation between Yang Qi and Ye Qi Ganbo is much more sincere.

Yang Qi sent the Datong army to help Ye Qi Ganbo fight, and Ye Qi Ganbo also happily handed over Dongsheng Prefecture and a hundred miles of land outside the Haoshui River to Yang Qi.

Yang Wu, who was stationed outside Dongsheng Prefecture, after receiving Yang Qi's order, led more than 9,000 Iron Cavalry soldiers and 30,000 people from the Agricultural Reclamation Corps to officially set foot on the land of Dongsheng Prefecture.

As Yang Qi had expected, the entire Dongsheng Prefecture was almost emptied by the Yeqi tribe.

From entering Dongshengzhou until crossing the Haoshui River, within a radius of several hundred miles, not a single sheep or cow can be seen.

All that remains are empty cities and villages.

And the usable things in the empty cities and villages have basically been emptied, and most of the unusable things have been destroyed.

Not only that, but even the population in Dongsheng Prefecture was taken away by ninety percent.

The remaining 10,000 people, less than 30,000 people, are all old and weak women and children who are useless to the party members.

After Yang Wu found out about this situation, he immediately asked people to send a letter to Yang Qi, asking Yang Qi to transfer a batch of grain.

Before the letter was delivered to Yang Qi, the magistrate led by Kou Zhun had already arrived in Dongsheng Prefecture.

Dongshengzhou, plus the land of 100 miles outside the Haoshui River, is called a mansion.

Dongsheng Mansion.

There are sixteen counties under the rule of Fuxia.

The prefect of Dongsheng Prefecture was temporarily replaced by Kou Zhun, and the regimental training envoy was temporarily replaced by Yang Wu.

In addition, after Kou Zhun cleaned up some Erwuzai officials in Fuxing Mansion and Datong Mansion, he cleaned up more than 100 officials and stuffed them all into Dongsheng Mansion in one go.

After the transfer, there were not enough officials in Fuxing Prefecture and Datong Prefecture, and many of them held two positions, and some even held three positions.

However, Dongsheng Mansion, the newly recovered mansion, is fully equipped with officials.

What is even more shocking is that the average number of people under the rule of each official in Dongsheng Mansion is less than 300.

In order for these officials to be better equipped to take office and fulfill their obligations.

Kou Zhun intimately left their family members to enjoy happiness in Fuxing Mansion.

Yang Qi intimately equipped them with personal guards.

In short, for a long time to come, these officials will lead 30,000 old, weak, women, and children to live on hundreds of miles of land.

……

"It's too extravagant......"

Early in the morning, Kou Zhun rushed to the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy with righteous indignation, and in Yang Qi's study, he slapped the table and wailed.

Being able to make Kou Zhun stand in front of Yang Qi and slap the table when he didn't want to see Yang Qi the most is enough to show how frustrating the extravagance in his mouth is.

"Men and women, young and old, young and old, five hundred acres of land per person! Five hundred acres! Those old men and old women, how can they be planted. Planting one acre and wasting ninety-nine acres is simply a waste.

Also, 30,000 of them cut down all the trees on two hills, and built 30,000 wooden houses for each person.

It is said that the planks of each wooden house are more than a foot thick, and this is almost as thick as the walls made of earth.

It's too extravagant......"
