In the prison of the Han Dynasty, Xue Chongyu was already exhausted, and he sat in the prison with his butt...... It's just that today's investigation is extremely unfavorable to him, and Xue Chongyu also secretly feels the mockery of fate... In the past few years, in the inner palace battles and officialdom, Xue Chongyu still has a little self-knowledge, and he also has a hunch that he will inevitably be planted in Gong Chengshu's hands this time.
…… After layers of interrogation and witnesses testifying in court, Xue Chongyu's incriminating evidence has been revealed, and Liu Gang has also received unfavorable responsibility for Xue Chongyu, but in the end, he remembered that Xue Chongyu had worked hard for the (Southern) Han Dynasty for decades, and finally Liu Gang also sentenced Xue Chongyu to exile to Qiongzhou. Xue Chongyu finally understood that the person who framed him must be Gong Chengshu, but at this moment he was powerless to return to the sky.
The happiest person at this moment is Gong Chengshu, he feels that one of the two thieves who framed him has died, and the other is immortal and exiled, and after that, only his henchmen are left in the capital, Gong Chengshu has experienced a life and death, and he naturally preciouss his life, and he doesn't mind getting rid of the people who hinder him, except for Lu Qiongxian and the witch Fan Beard in the maid.
Gong Chengshu naturally remembered Guo Chongyue's persuasion that day, if it weren't for his reminder, Gong Chengshu would not have thought of this, so Gong Chengshu also felt more and more fond of this general, and usually gave him some favors, which can be regarded as a trusted confidant.
Xue Chongyu and the party attached to Xue Chongyu have been punished accordingly, and Gong Chengshu is also relieved to boldly arrange his henchmen to replace the vacant yamen department and control the government. Liu Gang still lives a drunken life and dreams of dying, singing day and night.

One night in September, after the bustling light market, in the Yangcheng Restaurant, the four of them were also discussing the next thing.
Yang Ming had already become more and more admired and respectful to the Wuyongzi sitting in front of him, and he said happily: "As the Taoist chief expected, after the dog eats the dog, Gong Chengshu is now sure of victory, and this (Southern) Han is afraid that there are only a few major palace forces left, and this time Xue Chongyu fell, and it was also a bad breath for the people." ”
Wu Yongzi sat quietly on the seat, at this time he held a map of the (Southern) Han Dynasty in his hand, he put the map on the table, and gave them his left finger At the same time, he picked up the cup in his hand with his right hand, took a sip, and said one by one: "The forces in the Xingwangfu City are much weaker, in fact, Gong Chengshu has the largest part this time, but the rest of the people can't set off a big storm, but the strength of the (Southern) Han West and the North cannot be underestimated, Zhaozhou is known as the (Southern) Han Shipyard, where the most elite sailors of the (Southern) Han are gatheredShaozhou is the northern important town of the (Southern) Han Dynasty, and it is the most important gateway to the north of the capital Xingwangfu. The same is true of Guizhou, Daozhou, Xiongzhou and other states, so if I want to tear a hole from Chenzhou this time, I am afraid it will be very difficult, and we came to the (Southern) Han this time not only to monitor and investigate the military situation, but also to weaken the national strength of the (Southern) Han. ”
An Dongye and An Deyu pricked up their ears and listened quietly, without making any sound during the process, and the two nodded after listening to Wu Yongzi's words.
Yang Ming said: "What the Taoist chief said is extremely true, although my Changchun Hall has the military information in the hands of these states, but I have no plan to destroy the enemy one by one, and I really don't have troops in my hands." ”
Wu Yongzi picked up the cup in his hand, continued to take a sip and said: "Who said that we don't have troops, doesn't General Pan have heavy troops in his hands, at the moment we only need to pass the news to General Pan, just reveal to him some military information about the (Southern) Han, it will also be beneficial to him in battle, and naturally it will also be helpful to His Highness's great cause." ”
Yang Ming nodded when he heard this, seeing that Wu Yongzi's expression was more and more admired, and An Dongye and An Deyu already admired Wu Yongzi, Wu Yongzi's strange schemes, and the two of them were also few when they were in Shuzhong, and with a little light, they got to the point.
"By the way, does Lord Yang know about Zhi Tingxiao?" Wu Yongzi suddenly asked.
Yang Ming has been staying in the (Southern) Han Dynasty all these years, and naturally he has also explored the affairs of the Xingwangfu Imperial Court, but he paid too much attention to those courtiers of the (Southern) Han Dynasty before, but he forgot him, "I know, Zhi Tingxiao This person has always been strategic, but he is just an honest official, and seeing that the court **, he has already resigned and returned to his hometown, and the Taoist chief does not want to recruit." ”
"Hmm." Wu Yongzi nodded and said.
Early the next morning, Yang Ming asked his subordinates to deploy the (southern) Han border guards and the recent events in the Xingwang Mansion through some channels to let the Privy Council and the scouts sent by Pan Mei know.
The news spread quickly, the Privy Council staff of the horse also obtained the latest (southern) Han border defense, so the fast horse will pass the news back to Kaifeng, when the Jiangling, only to see tens of thousands of people are building a cement road, this road is still under construction, the Privy Council staff of the horse this time with the help of this road to the north.
During this time, the three of Wuyongzi's master and apprentice were going to Shuinan, Dongguan to meet Zhi Tingxiao, and Yang Ming also secretly sent some of his subordinates to secretly protect them.
The three of them went out of Xingwangfu and went east, about a day's journey, and the three of them arrived in Shuinan, Dongguan, ready to meet Zhi Tingxiao.
Under the leadership of the villagers, the three of Wuyongzi master and apprentice came to a decent and very old house on the periphery, and at this moment the gate in front of the house was closed, and a little yellow dog was barking wildly.
At this time, Antoye heard a noise inside, and it should be that the owner of the house came out.
The three of them stood respectfully at the door, and at this moment, there was a "clang", the door bolt had been opened, and the door slowly opened, revealing a tall middle-aged burly man.
The man suddenly asked, "Who are you?" ”
The three of them owed their bodies and bowed their hands, "My master and apprentice are here to meet General Zhi, I don't know if you can be introduced." ”
The middle-aged burly man stared at the three people in front of him, these three people were not (Southern) Han people from the accent, and they shouted the general, they must have come with a purpose, he didn't know what these three people came for, he looked up, and said: "The Sprinkle family is, I don't know what the three of them are important?" ”
Wu Yongzi arched his hand and said: "It's inconvenient to talk about it here, the general still invites the three of me to go in." ”
"It's rude to sprinkle the family, and the three of them are invited to the middle hall. Please. ”
"Thank you."
……
Shuinan, Dongguan, Zhi Tingxiao has already understood the purpose of the three of them coming together, and Zhi Tingxiao has no illusions about the court of the (Southern) Han Dynasty, and seeing the intention of the three, he officially worshiped the command of King Wei.
The three of them stayed in Zhifu for one night, and the next day they returned to Xingwangfu in a mule cart.

In the steppes in September, tribes compete with each other for fertile pastures in search of pasture, and inter-tribal battles often break out between each other, and the winters on the grassland are very long, and the cattle and sheep also depend on the pasture to survive, and the herdsmen also rely on these cattle and sheep to survive, and they also feed these cattle and sheep in exchange for salt, pig iron weapons and other common items in the field. It's just that there is no stability among the tribes in the northern part of the Great Liao, and the herdsmen have no choice but to live in pursuit of water and grass.
Shiwei September, the order belongs to the third autumn, at the moment far in the north, in the territory of Liao, some large and small tribes in the north have been unstable, the tribe is also verbally respectful to the suzerain, not only other tribes, the Khitan people themselves are also fighting in a mess, Emperor Taizu Taizong has been fighting infighting since the beginning, the Khitan people on the grassland want to grab the position of the Khitan Khan King, but Yelu Jing brutally suppressed, so that the Khitan nobles did not dare to rebel on the surface.
It's just that now because of the rebellion of other tribes, Yelu Jing can't suppress it, and it has failed several times, and it also makes the old Khitan nobles in Shangjing hope that they have been dissatisfied with Yelu Jing's rule for a long time, and Yelu Jing is also vaguely aware that if he can't suppress the rebellion of other tribes, I'm afraid that his own people will put themselves to death, Ye Lu Jing knows the battle too well, when he ascended to the Khitan Khan, the throne of the Great Liao Emperor was the throne of the Emperor by suppressing Yelu Cai's cocoon, and today, There are also several successors who follow the example of themselves and want to overthrow their own rule.
Yelu Jing couldn't bear it, he pointed the finger at the Wuku Department this time, the last time he conquered the Wuku Department, the Wuku Department plundered the residents of Yulinyu in the north of Shangjing Road, this time the army commander sent by the Liao army was Chang Si, although this person is not brave and famous, but Yelu Jing which time sent is not a good general, this time it is definitely not a promiscuity, otherwise he will not succeed in suppressing several rebellions in the past ten years.
The Khitan people are skilled in bows and horses, everyone is a strong general and brave soldier, and a team can be pulled up at any time on the grassland, Yelu Jing learned from the experience of the last failure, and directly made a big move, with the elite cavalry under his command to capture 8,000 Liben Han Luduo, the Jingzhou army and the ** infantry 10,000, and the coalition army of other tribes totaled 10,000, adding up to 28,000 soldiers and horses.
Commander Chang Si, Lin Ya Xiao Wei, Lang Jun Yelu Xianshi and others led 28,000 soldiers and horses from Shangjing, crossed the Yin Mountain and went directly to the northeast of Wukubu, which time in July they led the soldiers and horses have failed once, and this time they are imperative.
The 28,000 men and horses set out as an army, and the earth instantly made a loud noise, and they ran viciously towards the Yin Mountain Boundary. The rebellion was in the north, and it was still a hundred miles away from the Wuku tribe, and 28,000 men and horses received supplies from other Taizu and eighteen tribes along the way, and due to the large number of people, the consumption of meat was also large.
In the middle of September, this night, the sky was full of stars, and the commander Chang Si ordered a large army to be stationed in the Horqin grassland, which was close to the small river, and the water supply was also convenient, and the 28,000 people were divided into zero, all scattered around the camp, guarding the camp.
After Lin Yaxiao fed the horses, he and Lang Jun Yelu Xianshi went to the big tent of Chang Si to discuss military affairs. When he arrived at the military tent, Chang Si was dressed in deerskin, sat on the main seat in the tent, and put a large brazier in front of him, which was burning with beeps and beeps, and the basin where the goat's milk wine was placed was boiling on the brazier, and the whole big tent exuded the smell of sheep.
The Liao people are now also learning the etiquette of the Han family, and Lin Yaxiao learned from the Han people and said: "After these battles, the Wuku Department plundered the people on the grassland, and secretly had contacts with the merchants of the Song State, expanding a lot of power, and this matter still needs to be vigilant." ”
Langjun Yelu Xianshi also said on the side: "This time, Your Majesty sent 28,000 people, and it also took a big battle, so you should go all out this time, and it is impossible for the Wuku Department to be stronger than the warriors of the various ethnic groups in Daliao." ”
Chang Si sighed and said, "What you two said is extremely true, my Da Liao is facing too many things now, if it fails this time, you and I don't have to go back." ”
