To help Yelu Jing ascend to the throne of the emperor of Liao, it is not a temporary thing. Yelu Ruan's power is huge, his scheming is deep, and in terms of strength, Shu Luping is no longer comparable to Yelu Ruan. Moreover, Shu Luping has just been rescued from under Yelu Ruan's nose, and there are still many things to do, and it will take a lot of time to contact the various tribes and persuade the tribes to support Yelu Jing. During this time, Shu Luping didn't need Li Fengyun. Therefore, as soon as it was dawn on the second day, Li Fengyun said goodbye and left the courtyard outside Shangjing City.

Shu Luping escaped, and the surroundings of Linhuang Mansion were heavily guarded, but the grassland was full of roads, and there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in the entire Linhuang Mansion, and it was inevitable that there would be many loopholes in the capital. Li Fengyun found an opportunity and interspersed through the gaps of the Liao soldiers.

Li Fengyun went all the way to the south, although he encountered some small troubles, but did not cause a big problem, in mid-July, through the mountains and mountains, Li Fengyun finally returned to Dingzhou City.

Back in Dingzhou City, Gongsun Wuwu immediately threw off the matter at hand and came to see Li Fengyun. The two talked about the affairs of Dingzhou City during this period of time, and Gongsun Wuwu smiled bitterly and said: "Internal and external troubles, the situation is a little bad!"

"Oh, what's going on?" Li Fengyun was shocked, Dingzhou and Zhuozhou were his fundamental places, and if something went wrong, all his efforts would be in vain.

"Let's talk about the Liao State first!" Gongsun Wuwu pointed to the north, "For more than a year ago, the Liao State and my Yiwu Army got along safely, and there was no conflict. However, in the past month, a large number of Liao soldiers have suddenly gathered in Youzhou, and according to the news reported by the spies, there are no less than 30,000 new Liao soldiers. Moreover, during this period of time, the incident of a small group of Liao soldiers invading the territory of Dingzhou to threshk grass has happened eight times, and the Liao army has lost more than 100 people, and our army has also lost more than 50 people. More than 300 people were taken captive and killed. As for the Liao State sentry who infiltrated Dingzhou and Zhuozhou, there were no less than dozens of people captured.

I don't know what the Liao army wants to do. Could it be that Yelu Ruan wants to go south again?"

Li Fengyun thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This may not be big, I guess the Liao army is doing this because it is worried that our army will recover the sixteen states of Yanyun." ”

Gongsun Wuwu was a little puzzled, after all, the sentinels sent by Fengyunwei to the Liao State could not find such confidential news that Shu Luping had been rescued.

Li Fengyun smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid this incident was provoked by me." So he rescued him from Shu Luping, and told him about the alliance with Shu Luping.

Gongsun Wuwu listened to this and breathed a sigh of relief, the situation in Liao was now unstable, and it was impossible for Yelu Ruan to launch a large-scale attack on the Central Plains at this time. In this way, Yelu Ruan transferred a large army to Youzhou, just because he was afraid that Li Fengyun's Yiwu army would take the opportunity to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun. And the intrusion in the past month should be the Liao army's temptation of the Yiwu army.

After thinking about it, Gongsun Wuwu said: "Brother Fengyun, you formed an alliance with Shu Luping, are you planning to repeat your old tricks and provoke civil strife in Liao, and try to do it from it." ”

Li Fengyun shook his head and replied, "This time, I really intend to help Shu Luping. Worry-free son, don't you think that if Yelujing really becomes the emperor of Liao, it will be a good thing for us?"

"How?"

"Yelujing has no ambitions, even if he becomes the emperor of Liao, at most he is only a king of success, and he does not pose much threat to my Central Plains.

And Yelu Ruan is different, Yelu Ruan is ambitious, and he is not fighting the Central Plains now because he has not settled down in the domestic affairs of Liao. If he is given time and let him raze the tribes and opponents who oppose him one by one, the horse's hooves will definitely be my Central Plains, and it may not become another Yelu Deguang. In terms of talent and means, Yelu Ruan is much stronger than Yelu Jing.

At first, we thought that we had controlled Yeluruan, but in the blink of an eye, he actually reached a peace agreement with Shu Luping right under our noses, and secretly sold us to Shu Luping, so that our lives were almost guaranteed.

If such a person continues to be the emperor of Liao, don't you think it's too threatening?"

"However, Shu Luping's strength was weakened too much at the beginning, are you really sure that Shu Luping can fight Yelu Ruan?" Gongsun Wuwu was a little skeptical.

Li Fengyun shook his head and said, "Whether Shu Luping can fight Yelu Ruan or not, I'm not sure. However, Shu Luping, a woman, is not simple, and her means and tactics are also extremely good. But strange to say, this person has an extremely deep wariness of our Central Plains people, and she thinks that the more the Liao people deal with us Han people, the weaker the Liao State will be. Therefore, she did not support the Liao State's use of troops against the Central Plains, believing that it was the way for the Khitans to bring about their own destruction.

I thought that this was indeed Shu Luping's true thoughts. If this is really the case, at least during the time that Shu Luping is in control of the Liao State, it is impossible for the Liao State to use troops on a large scale against the Central Plains. ”

The two discussed in detail the various possible and available countermeasures for the Central Plains and Liao in the future, and Gongsun Wuwu wrote them down one by one. Li Fengyun changed the topic and asked what Gongsun Wuwu was talking about.

Gongsun Wuwu sighed and said, "In the past six months, Fengyunwei's theory of equality has gradually spread through various channels, and the situation is worse than we expected. ”

Li Fengyun's heart sank: "How bad is it?"

Gongsun Wuwu replied: "There is a voice of opposition to the conquest in the world, and almost all the people who come into contact with the theory of equality do not agree with this theory, and those Confucian children, eunuchs and gentry even say that the theory of equality is a fallacy and heresy, and there is no king and no father, which disturbs human ethics. What's more, some people say that I, Fengyunwei, am actually a remnant of the White Lotus Sect. Trying to mess with the world.

Even in Dingzhou and Zhuozhou, there are many people who oppose it. Some Confucian scholars also directly submitted a petition demanding that the doctrine of equality be banned and that those who started it be severely punished. and said that they are all traitors and villains. There was also a group of gentry who often gathered at the gate of the yamen and burned books. It's better, say that there is a villain around you, and some people even point at the yamen and scold you at the yamen for being Wang Mang, if I hadn't been prepared, I would have almost caused trouble a few times.

It also caused the people of Dingzhou and Zhuozhou to be dissatisfied with my Fengyunwei.

To make matters worse, the situation has also affected recruitment, and for months on end, fewer and fewer people are willing to join my Fengyunwei. Even the soldiers of the Fengyun Guard, there is no shortage of people who are in turmoil. In the past two months, deserters have appeared even rarer. ”

Li Fengyun was surprised: "The matter is so serious?"

Gongsun Wuwu laughed at himself: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that it won't be long before my Fengyunwei will become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat me!"

The two were silent for a long time, Li Fengyun raised his head and asked, "What do you think?"

Gongsun Wuwu smiled: "This son has already been tied to you, we are grasshoppers on a rope, we can't escape from me, and we can't run away from you! I think this son will not admit defeat in his life, originally I only planned to follow you to see what you are doing, but now this son has made up his mind, one road to the dark! There is no road, open a road!"

Li Fengyun laughed, patted Gongsun Wuwu's shoulder and said, "Good brother!"
