Chapter 308: Qingjun's side
Time flows!
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two months, several major events have occurred in the Northern Song Dynasty one after another.
Qiao Feng... Ah no, it should be called Xiao Feng now!
After the beggar gang meeting, he went to the Shaolin Temple to seek the truth of the year, and because Li Kuan had already broken the news, Xuan Ci simply admitted that he was the leading brother of the year.
However, considering that people die greatly, he refused to say that the person who reported the news was Murong Bo, so he was considered by Xiao Feng to be the mastermind back then.
But under the grace of nurturing, Xiao Feng couldn't bear to start.
In the end, after struggling with the Shaolin Temple for a long time, Xiao Feng left with self-abandonment, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
And not long after he left, Zhao Qiansun, Tan Po, Xuan Ku, the Qiao family and his wife, etc., all related to the Yanmen Pass tragedy thirty years ago, whether directly or indirectly, were killed.
The clue pointed directly to Xiao Feng.
For a time, Xiao Feng's reputation in the Northern Song Dynasty was discredited.
But because the so-called "truth" that Li Kuan broke out at the beginning was biased towards Xiao Feng, many martial arts people in the Northern Song Dynasty sympathized with Xiao Feng and felt that although he did it too much, it was understandable.
Thereupon!
The rivers and lakes are divided into two factions for Xiao Feng.
Targeted and sympathetic.
One party felt that Xiao Feng was hateful and wanted to kill him.
One party felt that Xiao Feng was pitiful, and his sin was not to death.
The two sides quarrel with each other, and neither of them obeys the other.
And the direct consequence of this is that Xiao Feng no longer shouted and beat like in the original book.
Of course, with the spread and fermentation of this matter, Li Kuan's name also spread all over the rivers and lakes of the Northern Song Dynasty.
And with that, the name that people gave him... Bai Xiaosheng!
Because Li Kuan knows too many secrets, and he dresses like a scholar, like a son of a family, and like a literati, this is why he has this name!
Besides!
The Zhenlong chess game has also been opened in these two months.
However, Li Kuan didn't want to participate.
The best result in the final result of participating in the Zhenlong chess game is nothing more than getting the skill of Wuyazi and getting some martial arts cheats of the Easy School, and these are not so important to Li Kuan.
He doesn't have the internal force now, and he can't use it, and if he comes casually, he's afraid of clashing with the almighty power in his body!
As for martial arts cheats...
Not to mention how good the martial arts cheats of the Carefree School are, it is all the same for Li Kuan, as long as he has enough martial arts cheats, he can deduce the best martial arts cheats when he is in a state of control.
So he still chose to stay in Mantuo Mountain Villa and read the martial arts cheats in Langhuan Jade Cave.
According to the intelligence, in the end, Zhenlong's chess game was still won by Xuzhu as it was originally.
Of course!
To say that the biggest change between these two months is still Murong Fu.
For the sake of the world, Murong Fu has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for two months... He's been recruiting!
First, through the original generals of the Murong family, the family soldiers raised enough 5,000 soldiers and horses.
Later, through the bandits, road bandits, and even small sects that the Murong family had secretly prepared over the years, they had directly or indirectly related relationships, etc., and gathered enough 15,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses!
In the end, he secretly recruited peasants, bandits, road bandits, etc., and the Qingzhuang near Suzhou, a total of 180,000, directly expanded his army to 200,000.
And at this point, Murong Fu's ambition basically can't be hidden.
After all, there are 200,000 troops!
That's not a small amount.
The entire Northern Song Dynasty army combined was only more than one million.
These 200,000 have already reached one-fifth of the strength of the entire Northern Song Dynasty!
Even if the Murong family has been in Jiangnan all these years and has quite a lot of power in Gusu, from top to bottom, there are people in the underworld and the white way, but they can't hide these 200,000 people!
Thereupon!
Murong Fu was forced to start a rebellion plan!
---
"Brother Li, do you think I can win?"
The night before the operation, Murong Fu found Li Kuan worriedly.
Although the Murong family had made countless preparations for this day, he was still a little worried when it came to the end.
"I can win!"
Li Kuan said affirmatively, "What is the army of the Northern Song Dynasty like, you also know very well, although there are millions of troops on the surface, but in fact there are definitely not so many, those officers, but they are accustomed to empty salaries!" ”
Of course he said he could win.
Otherwise, how can a tool man work hard?
"But, no matter what, they also have a million troops, and we only have 200,000, and except for my generals and soldiers, as well as the people who directly or indirectly control the forces, the others are only temporarily recruited!"
"They are peasants, bandits, road bandits, so to speak, they are a rabble!" Murong Fu said with a frown.
"The Northern Song Dynasty Chongwen suppressed the military, and the combat effectiveness of the army itself was not strong, it was a bit too much to say that they were a rabble, but it was not much better, plus the equipment I gave you was the best of the best, far better than the Northern Song Dynasty army, even if a group of rabblebles held it, it could easily deal with the army of the Northern Song Dynasty!"
"In this case, plus the Northern Song Dynasty also has to guard the frontier, right? It's estimated that less than half of the troops they can dispatch will be able to, so you'll definitely be able to! Li Kuan comforted.
In fact, it is not comforting.
Although Murong Fu's subordinates were all rabble, there were also some officers from the Great Chu Empire, who were distributed in all corners of the army.
When the time comes, relying on the command quality cultivated by the Military Academy of the Great Chu Empire, they will be able to raise the 200,000 troops to a certain intensity.
Fighting a weak army like the Northern Song Dynasty is not easy, but it is not difficult!
Listening to his words, the worry on Murong Fu's face suddenly subsided a lot.
"Maybe... You're right! That's how Murong Fu replied.
"Let's give it a go!!"
Li Kuan stepped forward and patted Murong Fu's shoulder, and said with a little meaning, "You know, you have no way to regret it now!" ”
Oh, yes!
It's all come to this point, and the army basically can't hide it, so there's really no room for regret.
I can only give it a go.
Thinking of this, Murong Fu's eyes gradually became firm.
"But there's one more thing I have to ask... What name does Brother Li think I will use in the future? Murong Fu asked hesitantly.
When it comes to war, there must certainly be a name.
Only when you have a name will the people support you... To put it bluntly, it is to stand on the commanding heights of morality, which is more confident and supported by more people.
If you rebel for no reason, not to mention whether it will succeed in the end, you will not be so confident from the beginning, and the people will not support it, and even spurn it, and there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles at that time, and even martial arts people from all walks of life who claim to be righteous will start to attack Murong Fu!
"Qingjun side!"
Li Kuan thought for a while, gave such an answer, and explained, "Now in the court, the person in power is Zhao Xu, he is in his twenties this year, young and vigorous, and he admires Yuanfeng's new law, that is, Wang Anshi's law!" ”
"This change is not bad, if it is really implemented, it will benefit many people!"
"However, due to the greed of the officials below, there were many mistakes in the implementation of the law change, so that the people not only did not get benefits, but suffered heavy losses, and even the family was ruined, and the law change also affected the interests of the old door valves, families, and families, so now the people are complaining about it!"
"At that time, you can point the finger at the new party and the new law in power in the court in the name of clearing the crowd, so that not only will there be great righteousness, but also many people, and even the support of those old lords, families, and families, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
"Okay, in the name of Qingjun's side!" Murong Fu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said.
---
Early the next morning!
Murong Fu took the name of the Qing monarch and led an army of 200,000 to start a mighty war.
And first of all, his target is the place he is most familiar with--- Suzhou!
And because there are 200,000 troops under his command, and Suzhou itself is a relatively prosperous area, there are no enemies in the interior of the Northern Song Dynasty, so the defense force is relatively weak.
In the case of mental calculation and unintentional, coupled with the fact that the defense force is not very good, it only took half a day for Suzhou to be taken.
Of course!
And that's just the beginning!
After taking Suzhou, Murong Fu left a little soldier to guard it, and led the army all the way to Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, ---!
