"Hehe, even if we have developed and become a wealthy family like the Yin, Jin, Li, and Park four clans, once the strength is too large, won't we still be targeted by the king? It's like Yin Yuhu, didn't he finally choose to rebel?"

"In the final analysis, Goryeo is still too small, and unless we are content with the status quo, once we want to develop, we may become fish on the chopping board at any time and be slaughtered by others."

Speaking of this, Cui Yuanshan suddenly became excited and said, "I have great ambitions for the Dragon Heavenly King, and he has already said that in the future, it is very likely that our Cui clan people will be relocated to other places. Little brother, in other places, does that mean that our Cui clan can travel all over the world in the future, if that is the case, it is the moment when our Cui clan really develops. Ten people per household, when that time comes, our Cui clan will be divided into countless sections, and we will also be arranged to countless places, and at that time, our Cui clan's inheritance will continue forever."

"At that time, even if one of the Cui clans committed an accident and was destroyed, the other Cui clans were still there, and this was the real immortal extinction."

Cui Yuanshan became more and more excited the more he talked, until later, he was excited to roar.

I'm afraid that Su Shi couldn't think of it, Cui Yuanshan thought of these. I have to say that this person is really a talent, at least his far-sighted vision is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Cui Daotong was also moved by what he said, and it took a while to come back to his senses and ask, "Brother, can what the Dragon Heavenly King said come true?"

"Why can't it be done? During this time, we have all seen the changes in the territory controlled by the Dragon Army, so if even the Dragon Heavenly King can't do it, I'm afraid that no one can do it even if the emperor of the world can. Little brother, our brother's luck is good, born in such a world, then we should seize the opportunity to plan for the future of the Cui family, and work hard for the Cui family to be immortal for all generations."

"Okay, my brother's words are very true, and my younger brother is willing to return to the Southland with you to convince the clan elders." Cui Daotong was completely convinced.

The main thing is that everything he has seen recently has also made him full of hope for the future of the Dragon Army, and he is willing to gamble.

The moment the two brothers made their decision, there was heavy snow in the sky again, and it was almost the New Year.

A new year is coming, and new hopes will begin again.

This New Year is undoubtedly the beginning of a new life for the six cities controlled by many Dragon Heavenly Kings.

But the New Year is also coming, but a shocking event happened in the south of Zhao and Song, which caught many people off guard.

December 1050 (the first year of the Emperor's reign).

When the New Year was approaching, Li Tang took Li Shun as the general and sent 20,000 troops to suddenly land at Haimen in the south of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, Li Tang's men rebelled in Chongmen Town, west of Haimen, killing local officials and taking control of the town.

Seven days later, Li Tang's army passed through Chongmen Town and came to Changshu City.

Wu Guosheng, who was often familiar with the government, abandoned the city and fled to Suzhou.

Under the leaderless dragons, Changshu City fell.

After hearing the news, Yu Yang, the general of nearby Kunshan City, led his troops to rescue Changshu, but due to carelessness, he was ambushed on the road and chose to surrender when he was defeated.

In order to survive, Yu Yang turned around and returned to Kunshan City with Li Tang's army.

Kunshan fell.

After Changshu and Kunshan were successively captured by Li Tang, Suzhou, which had lost its barrier, was exposed to Li Tang's troops and was in danger.

History has changed dramatically here.

In the history of the Great Song Dynasty, the Li Tang forces have always existed, and they have been brewing the restoration of the country.

But it was just brewing, because Li Tang didn't get too hit, so they didn't have such a big sense of oppression. Those in power do not have enough chances of winning and do not want to take risks, so the so-called matter of raising troops to restore the country is delayed again and again.

It dragged on until the Jin soldiers went south and the Northern Song Dynasty perished, Li Tang saw that the situation was urgent, and he also raised troops to fight with the Jin soldiers, and was finally destroyed.

In this era, the arrival of Su Shi unveiled Li Tang's mask one step in advance, making the imperial court intensify its efforts to attack Li Tang, so that they also had to speed up the restoration of the country.

Just at the beginning of December, Li Tang's contemporary

The chieftain, Li Boying, married Xiu and Caikako, the daughters of the Three Emperors of Fuso Sanjo.

Li Bo, who became Fusang's son-in-law, finally had a strong backer, which he spent several years planning.

Taking advantage of the momentum of Fusang, Li Bo felt that the time had come, and half a year later, he was ready to finally send troops and made a great move in the southern land of the Great Song Dynasty.

Speaking of Suzhou City, when it was about to be attacked from both sides, Sun Ying asked to lead troops to Huqiu Mountain, wanting to protect the safety of Suzhou City with his horned forces.

The prefect Lu Jingren is a corrupt Confucian, and when he talks about the way of a saint, he comes with his mouth open, but when it comes to how to resist the enemy, he has nothing to do.

Sun responded to this request, and he agreed.

Seeing that Sun Ying led the army out of the city and went straight to Huqiu Mountain, Lu Jingren hurriedly wrote a report to ask the court for help.

On the second day of the 800-mile rush just being sent, Li Tang's army approached the city. It was at this time that when Lu Jingren went up to the city tower to inspect, he found that Sun Ying had taken away all the elites in the city, and what he left for himself were some old, weak, sick and disabled.

Seeing that the soldiers defending the city, some of whom were visiting him at the same age, and some were older than him, and they were all in their fifties, Lu Jingren felt a chill in his heart.

The sergeant is like this, how can he defend the city.

It was also this vacancy that Wu Guosheng, the prefect who fled back from Changshu, and his master Zhao Tong came to his side and began to persuade Lu Jingren to donate the city.

If you surrender, you will surrender, and in the name of it, in order to protect the safety of the people in the city, you have to surrender.

Lu Jingren, who was already frightened, was provoked by the two of them, so his head became hot and Kaicheng surrendered.

It was judged that Sun Ying was waiting for Li Tang's army to attack the city, and then he would attack from the side and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. But at this time, when he learned that Lu Jingren surrendered the city to Li Tang, he was so angry that he scolded him, and then wrote a book to report to the court.

This is the so-called literati of the Great Song Dynasty.

Usually keep saying that he is loyal to the country. Suppress military generals, believing that once they have power, they will support their own troops and threaten the community.

But when it was their turn to fight hard, they became soft-footed shrimp one by one, and when they met life and death, they spared their lives for themselves.

It was precisely with scum like Lu Jingren that Suzhou City was used by Li Tang without any war, and the large amount of grain and grass hoarded in the city, as well as hundreds of thousands of people, were all owned by Li Tang.

Taking Suzhou made Li Tang, who was not originally powerful, become stronger in an instant, and truly became a force that could compete with the Song army in a momentary place.

Bianliang City.

First, the recital of Lu Jingren's rescue was delivered.

Before there was a resolution in the imperial court, Sun Ying's eight-hundred-mile urgent recital arrived. On the Jinluan Palace, when he learned the news of the fall of Suzhou, Renzong Zhao Zhen was so angry that he fainted.

"Quick, pass on the Imperial Doctor." After Zhang Mao, the lieutenant on the side, let out an exclamation, the entire hall suddenly became a panic.

Zhao Zhen, who is over forty years old, is in good health among emperors.

But a good body can't withstand the blow of such bad news.

Su Shi's departure last year made Zhao Zhen think about tea and dinner for a while, and he never understood why Su Shi left the Great Song Dynasty?

Just because you've threatened each other's parents?

Is it just because he wants to slash Su Shi's woman?

But I'm the emperor!

The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die.

Zhao Zhen didn't mean to kill Su Shi, he just killed his woman, just to make him more obedient, why is this the opposite?

Zhao Zhen, who couldn't figure it out and couldn't figure it out, since then, his physical condition has been far worse than before. And this time, when he learned that such a big city as Suzhou was occupied by Li Tang, where could he withstand the blow, and he fainted.

A group of imperial doctors rushed over, and after being busy for a while, Zhao Zhen came to his senses. It is said that you should take a good rest, but now that the government is tense, you can't afford to drag it out for half a moment.

Dragging a sick body, Zhao Zhen returned to the court to discuss the strategy of dealing with the enemy.

The successive falls of Changshu and Suzhou made the ministers of the DPRK and China lose their original composure. Without knowing the situation over there, they all thought that Li Tang must have come with a large army, otherwise how could he attack two important cities in a short period of time.

Or because of his ignorance of Li Tang's situation, when he saw that the emperor wanted to point out the people who led the troops, each courtier would lower his head as low as he wanted, as if he was afraid that he would attract the emperor's attention at this time, so he named himself.

This is the appearance of the so-called famous ministers of the Renzong Dynasty.

As I said before, I don't know how many skills these people have, and their ability to fight verbal battles is first-class, and their ability to sing praises and rewrite history is even more first-class.

That is, they did not encounter a strong enemy, otherwise their hypocritical faces would have been peeled off in minutes.

Ninety percent of the courtiers were all in the low-level pass, and only a few people such as Bao Zheng raised their heads. It's a pity that for Bao Zheng, Zhao Zhen chose to turn a blind eye.

Bao Zheng was also unlucky, Su Shi left, and under his influence, he was not only transferred back to Bianliang City from the north to be monitored as soon as possible, but now he is holding the position of a privy envoy, but he can't do anything.

Without it, the emperor would be suspicious of you.

How could that possibly give you any power?

Zhao Zhen's gaze swept over Bao Zheng, who looked up, and turned a blind eye. But the other courtiers all bowed their heads, which made him very disappointed.

Why, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to come out and turn the tide?

Usually, aren't these people all loyal to the monarch and serving the country, and a picture of wanting to take out their hearts to show themselves?

Why don't you know now that you are worried about the country?

Among the courtiers, Zhao Yunrang also lowered his head, but Yu Guang was still observing other people from time to time. When he realized that everyone had the same choice as himself, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he laughed.

He was the first to bow his head just now, and sure enough, the other ministers were vying to follow suit, and this was exactly the result he wanted.

Seeing that no one dared to stand up and take on the big responsibility, Zhao Yunrang slowly raised his head, and just met Zhao Zhen's sweeping gaze, and saw that he did not hide or dodge and said, "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person, and with him leading the troops, he will definitely stabilize the situation in the south and kill all the traitors and thieves of Li Tang."
