Chapter 414: There is death and life, and heroes are born from generation to generation

Li Shiluan was stunned on the spot by this lifeless civil official. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he has always liked to fight on the battlefield, and his friends are all straightforward and rude warriors, in his impression, civil officials are some timid and fearful, cowardly and incompetent, but also cunning people with a full heart.

A civil official like Wei bluntly said that he was so bold and not afraid of death really made Li Shiluan's eyes light up and he was quite surprised.

See you for the first time, always fresh. At this moment, Wei bluntly said that this bold civil official who was not afraid of death really fell into Li Shiluan's eyes. At that time, he pondered in his heart, "I am surrounded by some military generals, and I really lack such a confidant Wenchen." Spare his life. ”

Thinking of this, Li Shiluan immediately personally loosened the rope on Wei Zhiyan's body, and said enthusiastically: "I already knew your Wei Zhiyan's name, and I was deliberately tempted just now. I hope you don't blame, and please assist Yu Gu in the future, don't waste this skill. ”

In fact, where has Li Shiluan heard of Wei Zhiyan's name, he spends most of his time with military generals, but he said it on purpose, and he can get by on face.

Wei bluntly said that he is not the kind of outrageous civil official, who wants to be a cousin and set up a memorial arch. When he saw that Li Shiluan was sincerely recruiting him, he immediately agreed, and he didn't do any tricks of asking for three resignations.

Besides, Wei bluntly said that he was worthy of the dead prince. He repeatedly admonished to guard against the King of Qin, but the prince always couldn't listen to his advice, and finally died at the hands of Li Shiluan. At that time, the prince was complacent, and Emperor Li Sinai also deliberately cultivated the prestige of the prince in the court.

Wei bluntly said that he was a capable minister who had the intention to assist Ming Jun, and now that the crown prince was dead, he saw that the King of Qin had the posture of a Ming Jun, so he sincerely began to assist Li Shiluan.

Wei bluntly assisted Li Shiluan, and the first suggestion was to persuade Li Shiluan to immediately issue an order to stop purging the remnants of the crown prince and prevent the soldiers and soldiers from fighting in front of him from being unstable. After all, when the crown prince was in power, his subordinates still controlled the Flying Tiger Battalion. At this time, the Flying Tiger Battalion was fighting outside, and it should indeed stabilize the morale of the army and prevent changes. Li Shiluan obeyed the advice and immediately agreed.

Then, Wei bluntly asked for the burial of the deposed prince, taking this opportunity to stabilize the Chinese courtiers who originally wanted the prince. Li Shiluan also did it immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

As soon as these two hands moved, the court, which had been quite turbulent because of Li Shiluan's rebellion, immediately stabilized. Those ministers who once had their hearts set on the crown prince were no longer panicked, and began to deal with government affairs (drinking and feasting) with peace of mind.

Poor Li Xinxiao, if he saw that his bones were not cold, the Wenchen, who was originally devoted to him, began to take refuge in the new monarch, and drank and feasted every day as usual, I don't know if he would jump up angrily. Politics, that's how cruel it is.

Slowly, Wei Zhiyan became Li Shiluan's minister of the humerus, and he had to discuss everything with him.

After Li Shiluan succeeded to the throne, he worked hard, but he was distressed that the family controlled the government, but he couldn't do things honestly, and always wanted to seek more benefits for his family. He repeatedly secretly told Wei bluntly, and the two monarchs and ministers discussed this matter secretly.

This time it was Wei Zhiyan's suggestion to Li Shiluan, asking him to reopen the court public examination of the Ping Zhou Dynasty. Through this means, the poor scholars of the world were enveloped and served the Pingtang Kingdom.

The children of the big family, with the family as the support, can smoothly enter the court as an official through recommendation, and they don't need to have any skills, let alone work hard to learn those poems and articles. Therefore, this public test of the imperial court can successfully screen out those incompetent families, so that the children of the poor family who have the ability can go to high school.

In this way, if the poor scholars can enter the official career, they will inevitably squeeze out some of the children of the family who are vegetarian. When Li Shiluan has a large number of talents in his hands, he can rest assured that he will be able to picket hundreds of officials, and those who are capable will be promoted and those who will be mediocre will be eliminated. Then take advantage of the situation to promote the young and promising children of the poor family and let them serve the imperial court.

These children of the poor family do not have a huge family behind them, and they will inevitably be loyal to the emperor as officials in the court, because the emperor's favor is the only way for them to be promoted.

At that time, the court officials ruled Qingming, and the government decrees were smooth, and Li Shiluan was confident that he could create a prosperous era.

This is the first time that the imperial court public examination has been held after becoming emperor, and it is still a public examination that has undergone some changes, Li Shiluan is also very excited in his heart, and he can't help but want to go to the scene to see it in person.

On the day of the reopening of the public examination, Li Shiluan put on civilian clothes, took Wei Zhiyan and a few guards, and stood on the side of the road to watch the young talents from all over the world who came to take the exam. After seeing a large number of young talents entering the examination room like carp crossing the river, Li Shiluan clapped his hands and said happily: "Heroes of the world, enter my world!" ”

Through this series of means to win over the scholars of the Han family, Li Shiluan won more popular hearts for the Pingtang Kingdom in a short period of time, and also successfully recruited many talented people to assist.

There was a young and wise king in the Pingtang Kingdom, and after a series of means, there was no chaos due to the turmoil of the imperial throne, and the national strength was still thriving and becoming stronger and stronger.

The Pingtang Kingdom and the Tuliao Kingdom are now divided and comparable. But in the long run, the Tuliao people do not know the way of management, they only know how to plunder and get rich, and sooner or later the national strength will be surpassed by the Pingtang State.

Emperor Tuliao's army in the middle has completely lost the power to attack, and can only retreat to protect itself. At the beginning of the Tuliao Kingdom, the three-way army invaded the south, and the western army had been wiped out, and the Tuliao emperor in the middle could only retreat. The battle situation of the Tuliao army on the east road is also not optimistic.

With the defeat of the Tuliao State in the west and retreat to the central provinces, the situation in the east of the Pingzhou world also changed. First of all, the offensive of the Tuliao army on the eastern road was blocked, and it suffered repeated defeats in Shikang City.

There is only one fortress in the north of this Shikang City, built on a small island in the center of the Shuangshui River, and the whole fortress is built with stones, which is called the stone village. This stone village guards the north of Shikang City, surrounded by water on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Tuliao cavalry did not pass the water battle, and attacked this stone village several times, but they all lost their troops and returned in vain.

In the end, it was Hong Xiangqing who led the army to cross the Shuangshui River from the west of Shikangcheng, went around in a circle, and stormed Shikangcheng from the south, which broke the deadlock.

Although in the end, before the year, Tuliao East Road successfully entered Shikang City and destroyed Dongping Zhou. But at the last moment, the resistance of Dongping Zhou Junchen was extremely fierce, and the soldiers and civilians of the whole city rose up to resist and swore not to surrender. However, the Tuliao cavalry fought fiercely, and Shi Kangcheng eventually fell completely.

When the Tuliao people attacked the Dongping Zhou Palace, a fire suddenly broke out in the palace, and when the Tuliao people attacked the palace, the emperor had already set himself on fire and died, and the concubines of the harem had been killed by him with a sword.

A cadre of Dongping Zhou, holding the emperor's young son, who was only one year old, escaped from Shikang City in the fire and continued to organize forces to resist the Tuliao people. After all, the Eastern Ping Zhou is of Miao descent from the Ping Zhou Dynasty, and it is quite supported by the family in the southeast. Many of these families are also loyal and righteous, and they would rather die than surrender to the Tuliao people, and continue to follow the young emperor who is less than a year old to make a final resistance.

It's a pity that the only remaining resistance force in Dongping Zhou still inherits the good habit of fighting between the ministers of the last dynasty, and they can't unite at all.

The Tuliao people were already powerful, and the ministers of the Dongping Zhou kept fighting, each holding their own opinions. In the end, the dream of ZTE was just a flash in the pan and quickly extinguished. It took a lot of effort for the army of Tuliao East Road to completely wipe out the last resistance forces of the Dongping Zhou.

Wen Zhengqi, the minister of Dongping Zhou, was defeated and captured in Wupoling, leaving a sentence, "Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of his sweat." He was then killed. The privy deputy envoy Zhang Shi was hit by a boulder cannon in the Battle of Yashan and drowned. In the end, Lu Dongjiang held the young emperor who was less than a year old, and jumped into the sea from Yashan, preferring to die rather than surrender.

Since the Battle of Yashan, the 600-year-old Ping Zhou Dynasty was completely destroyed, and the Dou family's bloodline was all extinct. Poor Pingzhou founder Taizu Yingming I, established the Pingzhou Dynasty for 600 years, but he was powerless to prevent the decay and degeneration of future generations, and finally ended up like this.

Although the army of the Tuliao East Road finally perished in Dongping Zhou, it was also a great loss of strength, and it was no longer able to continue to go south for a while.

At the same time, Zhu Luchen, who was born in the south of Shuangshui Jiangnan and struggled all the way, finally accumulated enough strength to try to enter Yingtian Province eastward and attack Shikang City, which was occupied by the Tuliao people, with various measures to recuperate and recuperate.

Zhu Luchen also has two generals under him, Chang Fengchun and Xu Nongda. One of these two was born as a bandit, and the other was born as an eight-generation poor peasant, but somehow, both of them are talented in the sky, and they are extremely powerful in marching and fighting.

Zhu Luchen is the dragon among people, although he looks ugly, covers the sky, has a big chin, and has a pockmarked face. But he was a natural military wizard, and with his keen judgment, he commanded the soldiers and horses again and again to fight their way out of desperate situations and lay a huge foundation.

With the help of the strategist Liu Yaobi, after three years of hard work, Zhu Luchen is already a soldier with enough food and strength. After years of fierce battles with the surrounding warlords Zhang Yanfu, Chen Luyou and others, the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhu Luchen trained tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses for the rest of their lives.

Moreover, this Zhu Luchen attaches great importance to military craftsmen, and the craftsmen under his command actually figured out the secrets of the Tuliao people's explosive arrows by themselves, and researched an improved version of the "Divine Fire Flying Crow". Even, Zhu Luchen's skilled craftsmen also made a weapon with great lethality, such as "a swarm of bees", but because the reloading time was too long, its use was not as frequent as that of the "Divine Fire Crow", so its reputation was not obvious.

Relying on the Divine Fire Crow and a swarm of bees, Zhu Luchen's elite soldiers and horses attacked Shikang City on the way to the north, and fought back and forth with the Tuliao army on the east road, which was on par.

Although the current situation is in a stalemate between Zhu Luchen and the army of the Tuliao East Road, this situation has not lasted long.

There are many shipbuilders under Zhu Luchen's command, and he spares no expense to build a large number of warships, preparing to go down the Shuangshui River in the future.

The army of the Eastern Liao Road was frustrated in the offensive in the south, and in order to guard against Zhu Luchen, it had to accumulate a large number of troops around Shikang City. But in this way, he was powerless to besiege Liu Lai's soldiers and horses in the north.

As soon as Liu Lai saw that the Tuliao army was pinned down and his opportunity had come, he immediately turned defense into attack, sent troops and horses, and adopted the advice of his advisers. The army went around the path and completely defeated 20,000 Tuliao cavalry at Chencang City, breaking the long-term siege of the Tuliao people in one fell swoop.
