Chapter 19: National Shame

Mo Qingyan's injury was only just healing, the four of them were not in a hurry, it took more than 20 days to get out of Taiheng Mountain, and they also encountered a few groups of small thieves along the way, all of whom were driven away by Li Fengyun and Du Ruyue, and Gongsun Wuwu didn't move, just stood aside and watched the battle, protecting Mo Qingyan.

Li Fengyun complained: "These little thieves, if they didn't learn the knife before, Lao Tzu could solve them in three clicks and two clicks, but for some reason, now they are timid, always thinking about what tricks to use, but they are restrained everywhere, which is really unpleasant." ”

Mo said with a smile: "That's how you start learning martial arts, when you are familiar with the various changes of each move, and it becomes the instinct to adapt, you don't have to think about it anymore, and you will naturally use it." In short, it is far from enough to rely on intelligence and good qualifications to practice martial arts. ”

Li Fengyun didn't say much, he only made various moves on the horse, and the firewood knife danced vigorously.

Entering the Central Plains, the population gradually became denser, although it was rumored that the Khitans were going to fight, and the people were panicked, but the rich people could escape, and the poor people had no overnight food, even if they wanted to escape the war, where could they flee to, everywhere they went, they were tense and somewhat decadent, and large areas of abandoned farmland were overgrown with weeds.

There are a few thieves who jump out of the path from time to time to rob the pedestrians on the road, Li Fengyun said with a smile: "It turns out that the Central Plains is also like this, it seems that it is more unruly than Qingping Town, strange, those rich caravans They don't rob, how can they only rob those small traders who are single." ”

Gongsun Wuwu replied: "You don't know this, all the rich caravans have a dart master, and if they don't have any strength, which one can rob them? Only those small traders who sell needles and threads have no strength to hire any dart masters, so they will naturally rob them." It's all city fox and rat, guys who don't enter the stream. ”

"These guys are really guts, Lao Tzu can even catch them quickly. Li Fengyun was a little disdainful, thinking in his heart, and said: "There are only four of us, why don't they come to rob us?"

Mo smiled bitterly and replied: "We all carry blades and ride horses, even if there is some oil and water, how dare they come to provoke us, they have already hidden far away." This world is not peaceful, and now that the Great Jin and the Khitan are about to fight again, these hooligans on the streets will naturally jump out, wanting to take the opportunity to make a fortune in the country. ”

Li Fengyun said: "Brave thief, this has to be told to the people of Qingping Town, everyone will die of laughter!" and asked: "Why are the Central Plains and Khitan fighting again?"

Gongsun Wuwu smiled: "The wolf wants to eat people, the reason is just to hide people's eyes and ears, blame only the little emperor on the Jinluan Palace has no ability, can't control his subordinates, and can't govern the country well, the country is declining, the Central Plains has a lot of gold and silver, the beauty is like a cloud, but the officials and soldiers are like sheep, killing the people is very fierce, against the Khitans, but they have a pair of rabbit gall, no wonder people are worried." ”

Mo let out a long sigh and said, "Maybe that's the case! This matter has to start from Shi Jingjiao's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty eight or nine years ago.

After the late Tang Emperor Li Congke snatched the throne from Li Conghou, he also encountered the same problems as Li Conghou, the warlords were divided, the power in the hands of the emperor was limited, and there were few loyal people in various places, and there were many people with good intentions. In order to secure his throne, cutting the feudal domain is an inevitable choice.

Among the many festival envoys, Shi Jingjiao's strength is the greatest and his prestige is also the greatest, if Shi Jingjiao is not solved, Li Congke will have trouble sleeping.

It's a pity that Li Congke has this thought, but he doesn't have this ability. Shi Jingjiao understood Li Congke's thoughts, and while he was with Li Congke, he colluded with the Khitan and intended to rebel.

At that time, Shi Jingjiao's strength was not enough to fight against the Later Tang Dynasty, and after listening to the advice of the strategist Sang Weihan, he had no choice but to borrow troops from the Khitan with the help of the Khitan.

Is the Khitan's soldiers and horses so easy to borrow? The Khitan Khan Yelu Deguang has a great appetite and has coveted the 16 states of Yanyun for a long time, but he suffers from the complicated terrain of the 16 states of Yanyun and the determination of the people of the Central Plains to resist the Khitan, and he has tried several times without success.

Shi Jingjiao borrowed 50,000 Khitan iron horsemen on the condition of ceding the sixteen states of Yanyun and obtaining the world to Yelu Deguang as his father. In one fell swoop, he defeated the soldiers and horses of the Later Tang Dynasty, captured the eastern capital Luoyang, and forced the last emperor Li Congke to self-immolate himself in Xuanwu Tower.

With the support of the Khitans, Shi Jingjiao finally became the emperor and established the current Great Jin Dynasty, however, he did not dare to change the situation of the internal warlords, and he bent on the outside to meet the Khitans.

It's really ridiculous, in terms of age, Yelu Deguang is ten years younger than Shi Jingjiao, and Shi Jingjin is actually willing to be the son of this barbarian who is younger than him.

It doesn't matter if he is the emperor of other people, but where did he put us ordinary people? He has lost all the face of our Central Plains people, not to mention that he also ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Fengyun, don't underestimate the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the Khitan people have obtained the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, if the gateway to the Central Plains is in their hands, they can come in whenever they want to come in and plunder, if they can't recover the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the Central Plains will be rare and peaceful, and there will inevitably be endless disasters. ”

Li Fengyun was furious and said angrily: "This old turtle and old Wang Ba are so shameless, although our Qingping Town is a little chaotic, but if there are outsiders who bully us, there is nothing to say, everyone will let go of their usual grievances, fight to the death with those outsiders, and never collude with outsiders to betray Qingping Town, this kind of Erwuzai, even if there is, will not live for three or five days in Qingping Town."

This guy still thinks that Yelu is a father, and he has done this kind of thing, or is he not the one who led it?"

Gongsun Wuwu sneered a few times and said: "What's so strange about that, in order to get the emperor's throne, throughout the ages, don't say that you recognize a godfather, even if you are your own father, you can also sell it, Liu Bang didn't say 'share of my pie'?"

As for the sixteen states of Yanyun, what is the matter, the world is big, without the sixteen states of Yanyun, Shi Jingjiao can still be his emperor, as for what kind of suffering the people will suffer, what will he do?"

Mo Qingyan also sighed: "The history books have only recorded the heroes who chased the deer, who cares about the feelings of the deer?"

The Khitan people plundered or not plundered the Central Plains, what did the deer feel, Li Fengyun didn't care about it and didn't bother to care, but in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it in his chest, and he raised his neck and screamed twice, only then did he feel more comfortable, and then he said: "That's right, our Qingping Town is also like this, whoever has a hard fist is the boss, but it's the first time I've heard this kind of shameless person." Later, Shi Jingjiao didn't keep talking to the Khitans, so how could he fight with the Khitan again?"
