Bidding farewell to Weizhou and entering Hengzhou north, Wang Chengyuan sent his ten-year-old son Wang Yu to the border with his brother Wang Chengtong to greet him, and Wang Yu performed the gift of his juniors;;;;;;;;;;;;; It's almost there.,It's a lot more stable than the average station, and the update is faster.,There's no advertising in the whole text.。 Rainbow, with you all the way

Wang Chengyuan was seriously ill, and after the failure to assassinate Li Mao after knowing that his fate was imminent, he had changed his strategy, hoping to ease relations with Li Mao, so he put on a posture of reconciliation.

Li Mao entered the city to visit, Wang Chengyuan was waiting outside the door with his illness, his cheeks were sunken, and he was already thin and out of shape.

Even so, he was carefully put on makeup, his face was completely bloodless, his body was thin and pitiful in the wide official robe, and his actions were completely supported by people, and Li Mao had to take a breath every time he said a word, and it was difficult to hide his decay.

Wang Chengyuan relied on to persuade Li Mao to be the same as the old lady: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the three towns of Hebei are all damaged, and the other is prosperous, and the grasshopper on a rope will not be able to run away from you.

Li Mao pointed to the north and reminded that Yingzhou was not too far from Hengzhou.

Wang Chengyuan smiled reluctantly, glared at his eyes and said: "It was me who was self-defeating, and now I am most worried about him, once the gap is opened from him, Hebei will be in danger." ”

After saying this, Wang Chengyuan had no strength, and closed his eyes to recuperate, but he couldn't slow down for a long time.

Li Mao had to say goodbye, Wang Yu set up a banquet on behalf of his father, and Li Mao returned to the hall after the banquet, and there was a figure standing under the corridor in the dark, with a beautiful back, and there was no doubt that it was a woman.

Shi Kong drew his sword and went forward, but was stopped by Li Mao, Li Mao ordered the left and right guards to withdraw, leaving only Shi Kong to guard the gate of the courtyard.

The woman was sixteen or seventeen years old, saw Li Mao, looked at him first, and reluctantly knelt down on one knee.

Li Mao smiled: "We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, Mrs. is good, and the clothes are good." ”

The visitor was taken aback: "You know his name." ”

Li Mao said: "I still know your name, Yiqiao." ”

The person who came snorted, covered Li Mao with a sharp gaze, and sneered: "That time in Taiyuan, I was only a little bit behind. ”

Li Mao said: "The difference is a thousand miles. ”

Yi Qiao said: "Do you want to try again?" ”

Li Mao's eyes also became sharp: "You are here to repay your kindness, or are you here to kill me and I will save you from the Longxiang camp, you repay me like this, and it is also the rule of your industry to take revenge;;;;;;;;;;;;; ”

Yi Qiao said: "What do you say." ”

Li Mao said: "It's nothing, I have reconciled with Dr. Wang, if you want to seek revenge on me, do you have to choose another day." ”

Yi Qiao said: "That's fine, public is public, private is private, I have always made a clear distinction between public and private." I'm here to clarify one thing: it wasn't Gongzi who designed to assassinate you, it was me who made my own decisions, and even Wang Gui was forced by me. ”

Li Mao said: "You don't have to explain this, killing me and reconciling are just means, he is kind to you, you do these ridiculous things in order to repay your kindness, I don't care." The grudge between you and me, if you can't let go, you can come to me at any time, and if you invite my friends to kill me, I will try to save them, and I will not ask for their lives. ”

Yi Qiao sneered: "Being the king of the county has become so generous, I don't believe it, okay, since you are so generous, I want to ask you for a few gold medals for avoiding death, are you willing to agree?"

Li Mao said: "In Youzhou, killing people pays for their lives, this is the law I set, no one dares to disobey it, including myself, as long as you are not caught, I promise you that I will spare you three times without dying." ”

Yi Qiao was as ruthless as frost, and his angry chest fell together, and he said a sentence ruthlessly: "You'd better remember what you said today, and don't regret it then." ”

Yi Qiao turned around and left, but the door was blocked by Shikong, her eyes sank, and the killing machine was born.

"Wang Shiyuan, the hero of the world, I have admired it for a long time, I bother you to introduce me."

Yi Qiaohuo turned around: "Do you remember Wang Yichi if you want to see him?"

Li Mao was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Of course." ”

"You killed his brother, do you think he will meet you Wang Yichi is also my relative, do you think I will be accommodating, you and I can't resolve the enmity in this life and this life, either you die or I die."

Yi Qiaoyan, shook his hand and shot a bamboo dart towards Li Mao, Li Mao had not practiced how to catch the dart, so he could only dodge sideways, but the dart came very fast, he didn't have time to react The dart had already grazed his cheek and flew out, and the wooden pillar in the main hall was whining.

It was just a dart made of bamboo, and there was no poison on it.

Li Mao knew that this dart should have been poisonous, and if Yi Qiao wanted to kill him, he had actually succeeded just now.

Ying Mo observed that Wang Ting led people to wait at the border early, but he did not receive Li Mao's car for a long time, and later heard that Li Mao went to the compulsory army, passed through Yizhou, and returned to Youzhou through Dingzhou.

Wang Tingcuo was furious and snatched the iron bone from the guards, killed the horse that he had purchased for Li Mao at a cost, and returned to the city with a gloomy face.

On the same day, some Youzhou merchants in Yingzhou City inexplicably committed crimes, were raided from their homes, squatted in prison, and were inexplicably driven out of Yingmo.

When you leave the country, you are not allowed to take anything with you except your clothes.

Li Mao disdained Wang Tingcuo's anger, in his eyes, this person was already dead, and a walking corpse lost his temper and didn't need to bother with him.

This time there was no danger in entering Beijing, and he was crowned a prince and made a first-class general, which can be described as a complete merit.

However, after Li Mao left, the situation in Youzhou was not very good, this year the north wind was unbalanced, the rain was not smooth, the white plague on the grassland was connected with the black plague, the hungry Khitan people flocked south, crossed the Yanshan Mountains, and entered the inland states and counties to burn and loot, and the Yanzhou and Yingzhou were in a comprehensive emergency, and a bold Khitan cavalry even crossed the pass and reached the city of Zhuozhou, causing a huge panic.

In addition to Youzhou, Yingping, the situation in Hedong is not optimistic, after the autumn, Yunzhou's official and commercial channels to the interior were cut off by the Khitans, business travel was cut off, and Yunzhou was surrounded into a dead city. Fortunately, Yunzhou City is high and deep, heavily garrisoned, and has rich experience in dealing with the Khitans, so it can still be supported for a while.

Earlier, because Li Mao was not in Youzhou, the various armies could not be unified and coordinated, and they could only take a passive defensive position in the face of the Khitan offensive.

Now that Li Mao has returned, he is determined not to tolerate it anymore, and before the winter, he will organize a large-scale counterattack, with the goal of annihilating the living forces of the Khitans.

The Khitans are a people on horseback, living on water and grass, coming and going like the wind, it is pointless to just expel him, even if they are driven out of 10,000 li, they will still come back in the blink of an eye, and the only way to deal with them is to exterminate them.

The 100 "revenge squads" organized by the Right Wing have all been mobilized into the grasslands, and these small units composed of outlaws, Jiangyang thieves, death row prisoners, and secret agents of the Right Wing are not only well-equipped, but also have rich experience in guerrilla warfare.

You Khitan people regard it as a matter of course to enter the customs, burn, kill and loot, and it is also natural for the common people to pay for revenge, and you can't win this lawsuit anywhere.

Li Mao is also the envoy of the Khitan, and he is in the middle of the public judgment, both of them are at fault, and there is nothing wrong, so it is better to leave it to the battlefield to debate with strength.

The revenge team was mobile and nimble, specializing in sneaking up on the Khitan tribes and small groups of herdsmen scattered on the grassland, and once they succeeded, they immediately evacuated, they stripped the scalps of the Khitans with hair buns as tokens and went back to receive rewards, slaughtered the Khitans' cattle and horses, and burned their felt tents, in a manner comparable to the Khitan bandits who entered the customs.

The Khitans were anxious, turned into a whole, gathered and lived, and waited for the troops, but suddenly heard the news of the assembly of the army in Youzhou, Yingping, Liaodong and other places, and the Khitans were worried about being raided by Li Mao, so they had to withdraw from the Yanshan Mountains with hatred, and turned westward, plundering the southern foot of Daqing Mountain, focusing on Hedong, followed by the Zhenwu army.

In order to confuse the commanders of the two regions, the Khitans sent an envoy to the Hedong Jiedu envoy Zhu Xie Zhiyi to complain about the complaint, accusing the Youzhou region of sending revenge teams deep into the grassland to kill innocents.

The Khitan wicked people sued first, which is already ridiculous, and it is even more absurd to complain to Hedong Shuai against Youzhou Shuai, and what is even more absurd is that Hedong Jiedu made Zhu Xie Zhiyi not only accept the accusation of the Khitan people, but also sent people to Youzhou to meet Li Mao in a serious way, hoping that Li Mao can take action to stop the revenge of the people, and the reason of the Hedong envoy is that the Khitan people enter the fortress and rob is a custom, which has existed for thousands of years, just like wolves eat meat and dogs eat, it is nature and cannot be changed. For the sake of harmony in the north, the people should not be allowed to take revenge at will, which will only completely anger the Khitans and cause border wars, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Li Mao didn't say a word, brushed his sleeves away, and Wei Yong and the others honestly and unceremoniously sent the envoy from Hedong back to Hedong.

Because of the attack of the Khitans, the roads leading to Hedong in Youzhou were blocked, and the envoy suggested that the envoy take the Yunzhong Road in Fuzhou, and the envoy had a premonition that something was wrong, and the road was now entrenched by the Khitans, and it was extremely dangerous, and Youzhou's move was to borrow the scimitar of the Khitan people to cut off his head. However, if you don't obey your fate, the consequences are also worrying, and there are Khitan people in Youzhou, maybe you will be confused and let the Khitan bandits be harmed.

After thinking about it, the envoy decided to accept the suggestion of Youzhou, go out of Fuzhou, and take the Yunzhong Road in Fuzhou, although this road is dangerous, but there is still a glimmer of life.

The messenger trembled, along the way encountered dozens of looting Khitans, fortunately they have the token of the Hedong Jiedu envoy, and the Khitan people are asking for Hedong, which is saved from a death, but this fright, but also let everyone lose their souls and souls, after returning to Taiyuan, they reported to Zhu Xie Zhiyi that the Khitans burned and looted at the border, the villages and towns they passed were empty, the people were slaughtered, all the property was taken captive, and the frenzied Khitans did not let go of the passing merchants, and they were killed when they were caught.

When Zhu Xie Zhiyi heard this, his face turned red, the Khitan people were doing evil on the border, he knew it, but why did he just listen to the bewitchment of his brother Zhu Xie and send people out

Zhu Xie Zhiyi couldn't find the answer even if he wanted to break his head, it was weird.

Because of the merit in investigating and handling the assassination of Li Mao, Zhu Xie Hengduan was in charge of the Taiyuan Jiedu Envoy's Army, and at this moment the military power was in his hands, and he said nothing in Hedong, and when he heard the envoy's complaints, he was furious, and reprimanded the envoy sharply: "Since the Khitan people are killing people like hemp, why do they spare you, you must be the Khitan people's spies." ”

After that, he drew a knife in his hand and severely injured the three messengers on the spot, Zhu Xie Zhiyi had already gained the upper hand in the game of various factions in Hedong through the assassination of Li Mao, and the opponent was either purged by him or expelled from Taiyuan, and those who were left behind were also silent, not daring to confront him head-on, but the good situation was completely chopped by Zhu Xie's three knives.

Someone immediately went to the court and preemptively sued Zhu Xie Zhiyi's Diao.
