Fu Song

Chapter 102 Close the door

Sitting on the wooden building, Li Du looked at another wooden building separated by only a courtyard and dozens of bluestone slabs. To him, it seemed to be far away in the world.

It has been five full days since he came to Tuoba Department.

He wanted to see Tuoba Yang Wei, the patriarch of the Tuoba tribe.

The Tuoba tribe is the most powerful Dangxiang tribe in Hengshan, and this tribe can take out four thousand horses. If Tuoba raises his arms and shouts, the Dangxiang and other soldiers of the Shengqiang tribe who can gather under his tent will definitely be able to ride. More than ten thousand.

Li Xu wanted to rebel against Liguo. To him, Hengshan was a life gap, and to him, the Tuoba Department was the hand holding the throat of life.

Li Xu was originally full of confidence in the Tuoba Department.

He and Tuoba Yangwei are sworn brothers. Over the years, it can be said that their friendship has been irreversible.On the contrary, the Wei Ming Department, in Li Xu's view, was nothing more than a thug he had recruited.

Everything was fine at first, but since last year, Tuoba's arrogant attitude gradually cooled down.

This year, Li Xu's people have basically seen Tuoba show off his power.

And all of this stems from the stability of the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty, the resignation of Zhang Kuo this year, the appointment of Ma Xing, and the transfer of the Guangrui Army to the northwest.

These measures are undoubtedly aimed at Li Xu.

Li Xu was well aware of this, so his pace of rebellion had to be accelerated, otherwise it would be over when Da Song arranged everything.

But the problem is that Tuoba Yangwei didn't even give Li Du face this time.

"Jing Hai, I'm really sorry. My brother is really seriously ill. The doctor strictly forbids anyone to touch him. Even I can't see him. The one who can take care of him now is one of his concubines. It's life-threatening." Tuoba Fenwu bowed deeply to Li Du, apologetic all over his face.

Li Du sighed, stood up, bowed and saluted: "Brother Fenwu, I have been here for five days. You know what is going on now, whether you should stand up and be a real man, or continue You should bend your knees to be a cow and a horse to the people of the Song Dynasty. Brother Yangwei, please consider it more carefully. Our two families have been friends for so many years, can brother Yangwei still not trust Li Jiedushi? If Jiedushi establishes a country, brother Yangwei will definitely be crowned king .”

Tuoba Fenwu smiled and said: "When my brother is at ease, I will definitely relay what Jing Hai said to him."

Li Du nodded, cupped his hands and said: "In that case, Jing Hai will leave. Wait a little longer and come to visit again!"

"I'll send Jinghai out of the village." Tuoba Fenwu said, "Is Jinghai going back to Ganzhou or where?"

"I have to go to the Renduo Ministry. The last time I went, the patriarch Ren Duozhong, unfortunately, went to Shentangbao to work as a lobbyist for the Wei Ming Ministry. If Wei Ming Heda is not rescued, he will die there. This time If I go there again, it will be regarded as my return." Li Du said.

After sending Li Du out of the village, Tuoba Fenwu walked up to the wooden building, but pushed open the door of the wooden building without any scruples, walked in with great strides, and went straight up to the second floor.

The second floor is extremely spacious, but it is extremely elegantly furnished. On the rows of bookshelves against the wall, there are various books. At the place by the window, a middle-aged man is leaning on a chair, Holding a book in hand, tapping the tea bowl with the tea lid in one hand, stepping on the charcoal basin with both feet, reading a book leisurely.

This person is exactly Tuoba Yangwei who Tuoba Fenwu said was critically ill.

Unlike ordinary party members, Tuoba Yangwei went to Jingzhao Mansion to study for nearly ten years, and Tuoba Fenwu was also sent to Jingzhao Mansion to study for several years.

The two brothers, dressed in Song people's clothes, spoke, acted, and had the same etiquette as Song people.

"Brother!" Tuoba Fenwu walked to the charcoal basin, bowed and called out.

"Sit!" Tuoba Yangwei put down the book in his hand, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Jinghai is gone?"

"Send it away. Brother, is it really good to reject people thousands of miles away? After all, how many years have we been friends?" Tuoba Fenwu said: "And what Jinghai said, I think it still makes sense."

Tuoba smiled pretentiously: "What's the point? Well, did he say that if Li Xuli succeeds, a prince in my family will be indispensable?"

"Brother is clever, that's exactly what he said."

"If Li Xu wants to rebel, he can't do without Hengshan, but if he wants to get Hengshan, he must get the support of our Tuoba Department!" Tuoba Yangwei said lightly: "I used to have a close relationship with him because I thought he was really successful. possible."

"Why do you think it can't be done now?" Tuoba Fenwu was a little puzzled.

"Can't you see that?" Tuoba Yangwei glanced at his brother: "The King Jing of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhe, has been in the Daming Mansion for many years. He has stabilized the northern border and built a complete defense chain, which has brought them into a stalemate with the Liao Kingdom. During that period, the people of Song Dynasty did not have the ability to attack, but the people of Liao also did not have the ability to attack."

"The King of Jing, Zhao Zhe, is indeed a formidable person." Tuoba Fenwu nodded.

"The north is stable. Does Li Xu still have a chance? Not anymore!" Tuoba said arrogantly: "As long as the northern border can be stabilized for three to four years, Li Xu will not be able to continue. Four years of onslaught? Why should we become his pawns and work for him? A fight is really going to happen. Hengshan is indeed a moat, but it will also be a millstone of flesh and blood. How many flesh and blood of tribal men do you want? , put it in this flesh and blood mill?"

"But brother, Song people oppressed me too much." Tuoba Fenwu said angrily.

"That's why Ma Xing came up." Tuoba said arrogantly: "That's why there is a discussion field opened by Xiao Cheng in Shentangbao. In the Song court, there are still people who understand and know how to win us over."

"But I'm still worried that one day they really wiped out Li Xu, and they'll treat us like cattle instead of horses!"

Tuoba leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and said, "Look as you walk, this is the tragedy of our small tribes, you will never be able to fight against a behemoth, even if you can get small profits occasionally, but for a long time If we continue, we will not escape the fate of extinction. If Li Xuzhen is killed by them, what can we do? Go to my party's clothes, go to my party's hairstyle, wear Song robes, read Song books, learn Song characters, and know Song Li, completely integrated into the Song Dynasty, this is a way of perishing. Another way of perishing is to raise troops to fight, and then be killed by them, and perish in a blink of an eye. Fenwu, which one do you choose?"

Tuoba Fenwu didn't want to choose either.

"I don't even want to choose, so I can only walk and watch." Tuoba Yangwei sighed, "This day is really a fucking life. I really miss the days in Jingzhao Mansion. Ah, the knight-errant who dares to speak out dares to scold, now that he does something big, he has to think about the tens of thousands of people in the tribe, and it gives him a headache."

"Will Ren Duozhong meet Li Jinghai?" Tuoba Fenwu asked.

"Ren Duozhong, that old fox, is it strange to meet him? This is a person who has experienced many times, and he is more accurate than me in judging people and things. He ran to Shentangbao this time, and he may still have hooked up with the people of Song Dynasty." His intentions are inside." Tuoba proudly said.

"Brother, should I go and have a look?"

Tuoba Yangwei snorted: "You don't want to be like that Ren Duozhong, you don't want your old face, you are too old, go and lick the feet of Xiao Cheng's child, that baby is only sixteen or seventeen years old!"

"But his elder brother will soon become the commander of Dingbian City. If it wasn't for this, how could Ren Duozhong lose face? This Xiao Ding is a person who makes Liao people turn their faces when they hear about it."

"We still have to go. Send a caravan to trade. Just send two sensible children there." Tuoba Yangwei said lightly: "Even if you want to go, you have to wait for Xiao Ding to come." , I want to see, also see the Lord, what kind of thing is a temporary dispatch of an advance officer?"

"Yes, then I'll go down and get ready!" Tuoba Fenwu nodded.

Li Du was once again shut down in Rendabu.

The reason for rejecting him this time was even more outrageous, because Ren Duozhong was ill during the process of going to Shentangbao, and it was difficult for him to see visitors.

Li Du didn't stay too long, he didn't want to humiliate himself anymore, he went to the Wei Ming Department.

The Wei Ming tribe suffered heavy losses this time. Almost none of the thousands of tribes escaped back. Even the Wei Ming Heda is still tied up on the Shentang Castle for public display. Hundreds of people who are alive are said to be alive in Shentang Castle. Life is better than death.Eating the worst food and doing the hardest work every day.

One hundred guan for one person, plus [-] guan for Weiming Heda, a total of [-] guan ransom.Wei Mingyu, the head of the Weiming tribe, is ready to leave.If the hundreds of strong men of the tribe are not brought back, the strength of the tribe will drop a lot immediately.

"What, fight Shentangbao again?" Wei Mingyu looked at Li Du as if he had seen a ghost: "Judge Li, are you afraid that my Wei Ming will not perish?"

"This time, I will send out [-] personal guards, and I will go into battle in person to fight side by side with you!" Li Du looked at the other party, "These [-] personal guards are the personal soldiers of Li Jiedu, specially brought here. This is the case. The attack on Shentangbao does not depend on the number of people, but on surprise, one hit is sure to hit, and the leader will be taken."

"Shentang Castle is heavily guarded, sneak attack or something, do you even think about it?"

"Who said there was going to be a sneak attack? We're going to fight openly, aren't you going to pay the ransom? Aren't they going to trade? This is our opportunity." Li Du said. "At that time, the other tribes who are bound to go somewhere to trade, kill Xiao Cheng, kill Luo Gang, hahaha, kill all the dogs and dogs of Shentangbao, then I would like to see, in this Hengshan, Who else dares to help Da Song?"

Is this going to drag all the tribes of Hengshan into the water together?

No, no, Li Du's goal can only be Renduobu and Tuobabu.At that time, if there are caravans from these two companies, and these caravans are involved in the massacre of Song people, how can the Renduo and Tuoba departments have any room to back down?

That is the son of the Eastern Mansion, and the other is the son of the third envoy.

Even the Emperor of Song Dynasty, I'm afraid he would be furious!
