Chapter 59: Discussion in the Snow
Three days before the decisive battle between Ning Daoqi and Song Que, a piece of news was like a bombshell thrown into the lake, setting off a monstrous wave in the Bashu region and spreading to the entire world.
"The leader of the Sichuan Gang, Fan Zhuo, who is known as the 'Gun King' and 'Gun Tyrant', has abolished ....... ”
"Feng Zhen, the leader of Bashu, has also been abolished for martial arts! The four major ethnic minorities of Bashu have also been abolished by hundreds of people......
"The Bashu region has been taken over by the Song family!"
All kinds of news spread vigorously, and the intelligence network of people with intentions from all sides quickly collected the news, clarified the affairs of the Bashu region, and then spread it widely to the world. In the turbulent era, the drastic changes in Bashu not only changed the basic pattern of the confrontation between the north and the south, but also deeply shook the situation in the world.
Song Que's son Song Shidao vigorously destroyed all the more than 1,000 people organized by the leaders and supporters of the local forces in Bashu who were unwilling to join the Song family, and abolished all the martial arts of the principals in front of the eyes of the people, so that they were reduced to waste people for life, and forced all parties to swear allegiance to the Song family.
After this battle, the major forces of Bashu suffered heavy losses, and only a few people from the Xie family were left who were masters on the stage. Subsequently, Song Lu of the Song family led the troops into Bashu, and received great support from Xie Hui, and soldiers and horses were assigned to guard the strongholds, and the entire Bashu place fell into the hands of the Song family in a short time.
For a long time, the main reason why the Li family occupies a dominant position compared to the young marshal army and the Song family is that it occupies the eastern capital of Luoyang and Bashu.
If the Li family can't keep Luoyang, the Song family can go straight to Chang'an, and the foundation of the Li family will be wiped out in one sentence and the world will be won.
However, now is the time of heavy snowfall, the army is not suitable to pull, it is estimated that there will be two months to recuperate, and stay until the spring of next year, which is the time when the dust of the eastern capital Luoyang belongs.
In addition, the appearance of Li Shidao also made the world realize that even if Ning Daoqi defeated Song Que and Song Que retreated to Lingnan, Li Shidao would lead the Lingnan people to continue to dominate the world. Looking at the martial arts attainments he showed, no less than the three great grandmasters, Ning Daoqi, who defeated Song Que, would not be able to deal with Li Shidao in a short period of time no matter what.
In other words, the political significance caused by the battle between Ning Daoqi and Song Que is not great, no matter whether they win or lose, the Song family is still dominated by the masters of the Great Grandmaster realm, while the Li family, on the other hand, will lose a lot, after all, no matter how powerful Ning Daoqi is, he can't defeat Song Que without a single injury!
After this battle, Li Shidao once again came into people's field of vision, bringing more variables to the general trend of the world.
Li Shidao, who led to this change in the world, immediately withdrew from the background and left Bashu after the Song family came to control Bashu, except for a few related people from the Song family, no one knew his traces.
Snow was falling and roads were blocked.
Li Shidao's figure appeared outside a post station leading to Chang'an, stretched out his hand and pushed the door in.
The inn is warm like spring, the fragrance is overflowing, seven men dressed as business travelers and civilians around the makeshift stove, barbecue a pair of wolf legs, smoke crumbs leak out from the broken windows on both sides, the air in the hall is not stuffy. Seeing Li Shidao, an uninvited guest, pushing the door in, they all looked at him with burning eyes.
Li Shidao ignored them, closed the door to block the wind and snow flying outside, and then walked to the side and sat down.
Sitting beside the oven facing the door, a strong man of about twenty-six or eighteen years old looked calm and calm, although his face was dusty, it was still difficult to hide his heroic spirit, and his eyes were shining, showing that his gaze was good. When he saw Li Shidao, he immediately showed a look of shock and jealousy, and after thinking for a while, he stood up with his fists clenched and said kindly: "Seeing each other is fate, the weather is cold and snowy, and the son is willing to come here to talk about it." ”
This person's tone was accented with a thick accent, and Li Shidao's heart moved, "You are not from the Central Plains. ”
The heroic man smiled heartily: "If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, you will be in the Song Dynasty!"
"It turned out to be you. Li Shidao nodded, "Didn't you join the Turks, why are you here?"
Song Jingang reported his name, and generally speaking, Li Shidao should also report his name, but he did not do so, which immediately caused the dissatisfaction of Song Jingang's subordinates, and his hand quietly touched the weapon.
Song Jingang didn't care, and only said gloomily: "This matter is a long story, why don't we sit down and talk about it in detail." ”
Li Shidao also happened to want to know the situation on the Turkic side, so he walked over and sat down. Everyone sat down around the oven again, Song Jingang and Li Shidao sat down side by side, and the others took turns cutting the wolf meat with sharp blades, chewing and talking.
Song Jingang said: "In Xia and Dingyang Khan (Liu Wuzhou) defeated Baibi, was chased and beaten by Li Shimin's troops, and could not hold Taiyuan, so he had to retreat to Jieli outside the Saiwai, but he fell for Zhao Deyan's treacherous scheme. Dingyang Khan died on the spot, and none of the nearly 1,000 brothers survived, and only seven of us managed to escape. ”
Li Shidao knew that Zhao Deyan was the third "Demon Marshal" of the eight masters of the Evil Dao, and the national teacher of the ******.
I only heard Song Jingang sigh, "Becoming a king or losing a king, this itself is nothing to say." When I entered the Central Plains this time, I wanted to find a beautiful place to live in the old age and never ask about the world again. It's just that there are some things that are too important to leave at stake. I think Childe is extraordinary, and he should be a person of prominent status, so I want to ask Childe for a favor and spread these things. ”
"Oh? Li Shidao became interested.
Song Jingang said solemnly: "This year's heavy snowfall is serious, the situation outside the Saiwai is tight, under the leadership of Jali and Tuli, the Saiwai clans have formed an alliance, with the beautiful slogan of asking Li Yuan to help Kou Zhong, and are secretly gathering military strength to prepare for a large-scale southern invasion. On the other hand, Zhao Deyan tried his best to appease Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng through the forces of Chang'an Demon Gate, and it is said that Li Yuan was still ignorant of the affairs of the Cypriot and foreign coalition forces, and the situation was very bad. ”
Li Shidao was in a heavy mood when he heard this, Song Jingang escaped from the real tribe and got first-hand information about Jaw Li and Tuli, which was by no means a lie. Although the Turkic move dealt a blow to the power of the Li family and was beneficial to the Song family, it was the ordinary people who suffered the most. They were powerless to resist the Turkic cavalry, and they were bound to suffer from misery.
Song Jingang said earnestly: "Zhao Deyan is stirring up wind and rain in Chang'an, and the battle between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng is becoming more and more fierce. By the way, there is still one thing, Jieli's spies found out that the king of Goryeo officially threw a disc to Li Yuan, saying that Fu Cailin, the first master of Goryeo, 'Yijian Master', would go to Chang'an to meet with Li Yuan on behalf of Goryeo, and by the way, he would see the martial arts of the Central Plains, and intended to challenge Ning Daoqi or Song Que to boost the prestige of Goryeo. ”
Li Shidao laughed and said: "My Central Plains is really underestimated, any cat or dog dares to show off his might!"
Song Jingang's eyes flashed, "The Central Plains people are outstanding and talented, and no one is convinced, so naturally there is chaos." Some people think that they have the means to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, but they don't know how ignorant they are. For example, Li Yuan, who allowed the Daming Zun Sect to preach in Chang'an, the evil sect organization that secretly did all the things that hurt heaven and reason should have been destroyed a long time ago, but he treated it like a treasure. Fortunately, they annoyed Shi Zhixuan a few days ago, and the people who were killed turned on their backs, defeating and losing, which is really happy!"
Li Shidao smiled slightly when he heard this, and his heart was full of emotion, human disputes are like this, differences between people, differences in ideas and interests, disputes and differences between different religious beliefs, regions, races, and countries, resulting in endless and various forms of conflicts, these factors that cause struggles will never disappear, and they can only be coordinated and balanced as much as possible by their strength, otherwise, they will completely wipe out one side!
Li Shidao originally didn't want to get involved in these troublesome things, but Song Que's family letter, which entrusts him with his lifelong ambition to seek the well-being of the Han people, made him unable to sit idly by. Now that you're involved, just stick to your position to the end.
The Han people have been bullied for so many years, and it is time to raise their eyebrows and be ashamed.
"These things are related to the Central Plains and all the heroes, so please spread it out, so that those foreigners don't bully the Central Plains!" Song Jingang said in a condensed voice.
Li Shidao was about to speak, when an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, and he looked at the wooden door: "Someone!"
After a while.
- Bang!!
The wooden door was torn apart, and it rained down on everyone sitting around the fire, and if it hit the eye, it would be strange if it was not scrapped immediately. The wind and snow swirled in, and the smoke from the oven was splashed, and the sound was terrifying.
At the same time, the knife flashed, and the entire post house was full of sword energy, and the blade was reflected in the firelight, and it was like a meteor to hit Song Jingang head-on, and in the blink of an eye, the blade had come to Song Jingang's throat three feet away, and the end was extremely ruthless.
Song Jingang was shocked, and he wanted to roll back.
At this moment, a palm suddenly appeared next to the blade, without any warning, and then it was seen to flick its fingers, and the tip of its middle finger hit the blade with a "dang" sound.
The knife is a treasure knife that has been refined, and its momentum is fierce and domineering, but under this seemingly powerless finger, it is like rotten wood, and it should be frustrated.
With one finger flicking back the treasure knife, the palm of this hand did not retract, and it stroked outward, and a stream of true qi leaked out, as if forming an indestructible wall of qi in the air, expanding vertically outward, smashing out the fragments of the wooden door, the wind and snow that flew in, and the people who rushed in with knives.
- Bang!!
The person who came was very good, although he was not shocked, he flew back like an arrow, turned around, staggered and shot violently, and his feet were nailed to the ground like nails, and suddenly two deep footprints appeared, and his face turned white immediately.
It was not until this moment that Song Jingang and his subordinates reacted, and they rushed to stand up and draw their weapons, gathering together to try to protect themselves, and at the same time looked at the young man who had just made a move, Li Shidao, in horror and inexplicably.
The flowing movements have unrivaled power, and such skills are really terrifying!
The person who came looked at the broken treasure knife, felt the pain from the tiger's mouth that had been cracked, and felt awe-inspiring in his heart, knowing that he had encountered a ruthless character, and said quietly on his face: "Don't interfere with the child, this is a matter between our Turks and the traitor Song Jingang." ”
"Turkic ......"
Li Shidao looked at the comer.
