The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 541
"King Zhongshun would have died a few years earlier."

The city wall of North Town.

Li Changsong, the Jiedu envoy, looked in the direction of Liaoxi, and said such words.

The expressions of the cronies beside him remained unchanged, and no one refuted.

Thanks to King Zhongshun.

Beizhen has only 2 soldiers so far. The actual strength of the troops is [-] horses.

Due to the importance of Beizhen's geographical location, there should not be only [-] soldiers.

And why only so much.

It's not that the court didn't pay attention, it's that King Zhongshun didn't trust Li Changsong and suspected that he had colluded with Ping Liaohou, especially the young lady of Jinxiang Hou's family who married Liu Chengmin.

cause over the years.

"What do you mean?"

Refuse to enter the customs according to the imperial edict.

Zhao Yong named the importance of Shanhaiguan.

As the two general soldiers of the Liaoxi Army, their fighting skills are not strong, but their ability to escape is not weak.

……

"If we didn't trust you, how could we have ended up like this?"

Compared to Beizhen.

A few flags in the distance fluttered in the wind.

The meeting this time was a tacitly important matter among the three parties, discussing the follow-up matters of taking refuge with Duke Bao.

"Jinjiang is full of talented soldiers. Even if Duke Bao really becomes the emperor, if you and I want to become Dukes, I'm afraid we don't have the qualifications."

Except for the city, the Jinjiang army is already maintaining the place.

There are pros and cons to each location.

So at the banquet, Li Changsong strongly praised Duke Bao for his benevolence and righteousness, in order to open up the topic and let the Liaoxi army let go.

They are the only ones left.

"Old man, I call it self-knowledge and obeying the destiny. If you want to blame it, it's your big appetite."

In order to appease Ping Liaohou, he issued an imperial edict to become the Duke.

After speaking, Liu Ying clapped her hands.

No one cares about impeaching Wu Zhaoyuan.

"Kaifeng is the hub of Henan, the throat of the north and the south."

If Tang Qing'an is willing to break his promise, break his promise to the world, and bear such a big consequence and also break his promise, then he, Zhao Yong, has nothing to say.

It was intentional for Li Changsong to gather his cronies in the city.

"I have to guard against it."

"Yes."

Li Changsong's staff spoke confidently.

……

The bandit army was like a raging fire in the Central Plains, and it was impossible to deal with it. Bandit bandits had already appeared in Cao County and Shan County in Shandong Province, and they went as far as Juye.

Just wait for the order of the Duke of Baoguo.

"Old Jia, do you think what we said is right?"

His retreat led to the destruction of the defense line that the former King Zhongshun had set up in Dengzhou, and the Jinjiang Army easily took control of the place.

Listen to the confidant's statement to grasp the bias in their hearts, so as to pave the way for the next words.

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to speak, Li Changsong spoke up.

Liu Mingxian, the commander in chief of Guyuan who was ordered to return to Shaanxi and Gansu, Li Jian, the commander in chief of Ningxia, and Cheng Zhixin, who was stationed in the Huguang area of ​​Henan, participated in the battle to encircle and suppress bandits.

Generals of the Liaoxi Army.

at this time.

"If he becomes the emperor, can we be a duke of the state?"

Especially the Shanhaiguan pass in Xinde. Without the consent of the Liaoxi Army, the Jinjiang army would not want to enter the pass through Shanhaiguan.

The canal fell into the hands of bandits, lost food in the south, and the capital collapsed without attack.

Jia Jian said.

The Beizhen Army, which was flanked back and forth, was still the weakest.

Who is not greedy for the hard work of Liaoxi and Shandong for many years?
With these tens of thousands of elite soldiers, we can pull up an army of more than [-] to maintain combat effectiveness.

He is the ninth person to be duke besides the Duke of Bagong Town and the Duke of Liguo.

Zhao Yong scolded.

Many generals were relieved.

Li Changsong broke the deadlock and congratulated Liu Ying for his great contribution to Jinjiang Town.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others frowned tightly and said nothing.

There are discerning people in the bandit army who know the importance of Kaifeng.

"Quack."

This is the power that the imperial court reorganized after working hard.

Because if the imperial court does not eliminate the bandits, they will die.

This little influence can change the game.

Zhao Yong turned his head in surprise, only seeing Liu Ying's calm gaze.

Liu Ying looked at Zhao Yong.

The hereditary envoy of Jinjiang Township.

Zhao Yong told his request in public.

"The Liaoxi Army is different from the Beizhen Army. The Liaoxi Corridor has a population of more than [-] people stationed in the fields, with a force of up to [-]. They are stationed at the Three Customs, with their backs to Gyeonggi."

"If Kaifeng is not guarded, there will be no Henan. If Henan is not protected, there will be no Central Plains. If the Central Plains are not protected, the throat of Hebei will be broken, and the general situation of the world will be very dangerous."

sometimes.

A pair of heavily armed soldiers ran out from behind the screen.

But Beizhen is deeply rooted. Although the situation has declined for decades, its influence still exists.

The general below said, and everyone nodded in approval.

He is not at ease with private promises, but only with public promises can he feel at ease.

Marquis Ping Liao is a Han Chinese.

"The bandit army has gained a strategically active position, while the imperial court's throat will be choked, which will lead to internal collapse, as if a knife and barrel have been inserted into the throat."

Although Beizhen lost the power to resist, he also gained trust.

There are many dangerous passes in the country.

"If we don't let go of Shanhaiguan, Lord Baoguo will definitely not be able to enter the Central Plains. As far as this merit is concerned, are we the first?"

The news sent by the second uncle in the capital made him know the domestic situation thoroughly.

Putting down his chopsticks, Jia Jian nodded with a smile.

Zhao Yong was dragged out.

"Shanhaiguan has dispatched troops to enter the customs. The Liaoxi Army has plans to withdraw from Shanhaiguan. What should we do?"

The Liaoxi Army still has [-] soldiers. In addition to controlling the Liaoxi Corridor, it has recently taken control of Shanhaiguan.

All the generals who could fight died, and those who could not run also died.

The government may have heard about it, because additional soldiers were sent to control the city gate, but they did not take any unnecessary actions.

As soon as everyone parted, Jia Jian looked at Li Changsong.

Isn't it also the use of tens of thousands of elite soldiers to expand to the number of hundreds of thousands.

Soldiers who did not wear the uniforms of the Jinjiang Army quietly reached thousands of people.

"It is possible that by using the name of Lord Baoguo, he annexed Zhao Yong's men and dominated Shanhaiguan and Western Liaoning."

The population of Beizhen has not yet flourished, and its military strength is only [-]. It cannot be self-sufficient. There was the Liaoxi Army in the front, and the Jinjiang Army in the back.

Liu Ying was stunned when she heard this, she slowly glanced at Zhao Yong, and looked away thoughtfully.

Although Jinzhou did not officially send troops to occupy Denglai, it increased its personnel in the refugee area.

After all, the century-old hereditary Beizhen Jiedushi post, Beizhen has been the core of western Liaoning for decades, and it was not changed until the capital of Liaodong in Liaoning.

Liu Ying, Zhao Yong and others have already come to Jinzhou to wait.

Otherwise, why did the rebel army insist on attacking Kaifeng City several times, but they were not discouraged after repeated defeats, and they vowed not to give up until Kaifeng was taken down.

"what?"

According to him, since Kaifeng is so important and related to the country's peril, wouldn't it be that the imperial court that has been captured by bandits will sooner or later be destroyed?

Jia Jian sighed.

"The last general is willing to follow Jiedushi."

All over the country are waiting for help, waiting for the imperial army to suppress the bandits.

The mountain on Li Changsong's head disappeared, even if there are two-hearted people in the army, they have to curry favor with the temperate envoys.

On resentment.

The generals who were talking freely just now fell silent immediately, and only the wind was heard on the entire wall.

"You hurt us?"

King Zhongshun is now dead.

Form a horned situation with the Laishan Camp in Laizhou to deal with the possible threat of the Jinjiang Army.

"Liu Ying is untrustworthy."

Jia Jian and Li Changsong, with the generals from Beizhen, arrived in Jinzhou in person.

"Beep, beep."

"With Shanhaiguan in hand, it will not only open the door for Duke Bao, but also add [-] elite soldiers to Duke Bao."

Enter the customs according to the imperial edict.

With just one sentence, many people saw Jiedushi's intentions.

"Then how do we do it?"

Liu Ying asked inexplicably.

In terms of fame, strength, benevolence and righteousness, Marquis Ping Liao is the first choice.

As for wanting to rely on Beizhen to become self-reliant.

Li Changsong's capital was small, and he had already created the established facts. The Jinjiang army sent two battalions to station in each of the military forts.

Suddenly, feeling the sight behind him, he thought of something, and quickly changed his words.

"Mr. Baoguo."

Zhao Yong's eyes widened in disbelief.

Commander Zuo Qin, guerrilla Ma Zhongzhou, guerrilla Shichun.

"Okay, you are fine, you betrayed us for your own glory and wealth."

The generals clasped their fists together.

As soon as King Zhongshun was defeated, he counterattacked Kaifeng in one breath, leaving Kaifeng without the slightest chance to relax.

Seeing that the other party recognized his words, Zhao Yong reached out and patted Jia Jian on the shoulder.

The right time, place and people are the same, and the Beizhen Army does not take advantage of it.

Wu Zhaoyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Longshan battalion, was deeply disturbed, so he gave up on Longshan and led his troops to retreat all the way to Laixi.

The Jinjiang army steadily eroded and expanded its base.

However, the Liaoxi Army took advantage of the withdrawal of Shanhaiguan troops and occupied Shanhaiguan. This matter complied with the imperial court's dispatch.

"Go to the yard and kill him, and give him a good time."

No one has this idea.

In order for the generals to fight bravely, the emperor issued a large number of positions. As the team with the most strength and troops, Cheng Zhixin not only became the Temperance Envoy, but was also granted the title of Earl.

The corners of Zhao Yong's mouth moved, envy could be seen in his eyes.

Jin Jiang's army would indeed have to pay an unbearable price if they wanted to seize Shanhaiguan by force, and I'm afraid it would not be accepted by Jin Jiang town.

"We have to let him know that it's okay to get our refuge, but he has to promise that we will be the Duke of the country in the future."

……

Duke Bao.

Jia Jian recognized it.

Jinjiang Town is expanding its army, and it can hide it from the imperial court, but it cannot hide it from the neighboring Beizhen Town.

"Kaifeng is the last stronghold in Henan. Since it was acquired by the bandit army, it is inevitable that Qianli Zhongzhou will change hands."

Li Changsong asked.

A day of procrastination is a day.

Zhao Yongneng has been around until today, his eyesight is not weak, and he immediately saw through Liu Ying's intentions.

Sensitive people keep silent, while insensitive people don't dare to talk too much when their companions look serious, guessing what they don't know.

It is the Marquis of the imperial court again.

Jia Jian turned out to be Shi Nai's confidant in western Liaoning. He was an old acquaintance with Zhao Yong and Liu Ying, and they were no strangers to each other.

Jinxiang Hou's Mansion and Liaoxi are too deeply involved.

A chill in my heart.

No mountain or water.

"Since our contribution is so great, if Duke Bao becomes the emperor in the future, can we be named a Duke?"

Li Changsong asked seriously.

"For the sake of the court's safety, this envoy is prepared to obey the orders of Marquis Ping and Liao, and only waits for the order of King Qin of the capital to follow the Jinjiang army into the pass to suppress the bandits."

Jiedu envoys, township soldiers, and militiamen from all over the country looted and regrouped an army of 20, claiming an army of one million.

The more I think about it, the more I am not reconciled.

"I understand."

But who made the times change.

This is the power of righteousness.

"The great situation was delayed by King Zhongshun, and those tens of thousands of elite soldiers were given to the bandits for nothing, which not only harmed our Beizhen, but also harmed the country."

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers are not recruits.

The capital of the Liaoxi Army is not small.

Liu Ying only cared about eating, Zhao Yong cursed secretly when he saw Liu Ying's appearance.

Zhao Yong's tone was dissatisfied.

Only then did Liu Ying smile and her complexion improved.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiu directly dispatched a battalion of 3000 troops to take over the blank military defenses in various parts of Dengzhou without fighting under the banner of the Jinjiang Army.

Generals of Shanhaiguan.

When Liaodong is the most important town in the nine borders, Shanhaiguan has become the most important pass in the world.

"The Central Plains is the heart of the world, and Kaifeng is also the heart of the Central Plains. It is very cunning for new thieves to procrastinate to spy on criminals. Although it is fortunate to stick to it, but it belongs to Yiqiu Ruins, Kaifeng is also a lonely city. If it falls, the world will have to bear it. !"

Even Tang Qing'an has just become the Duke of the State, how can Zhao Yong and He De dare to want the Duke of the State?Even if Tang Qing'an agrees, will those people under his command let Zhao Yong go?
"We hate ourselves. Back then we cheated so many of our comrades who trusted us. I don't want to make this mistake in the future, trusting you."

Hearing Zhao Yong's extravagant hope, Liu Ying subconsciously shook her head.

Zhao Yong looked at Jia Jian expectantly, hoping that he would nod.

Seeing Zhao Yong swearing harshly, Liu Ying looked unhappy, and ordered.

"During the banquet, I mentioned the matter of letting Jin Jiang's army enter Liaoxi several times, but he interrupted him with words."

The soldiers who were supposed to be sent to Beizhen were all detained by King Zhongshun and put into the Liaoxi Army.

"This man is ambitious."

"Li Changsong has taken refuge in Ping... Duke Bao."

"Will you all be willing to go with me?"

For more than ten years in Tang Qing'an, the reputation of benevolence and virtue spread all over the place, and no one could have any hostility towards Marquis Ping and Liao.

"Old man, you are old, you can't see current affairs clearly, your ambition is too big, you will hurt yourself." "Papapa."

Regret and hate.

"I do not want."

"Do you think he may be the emperor?"

The two knew each other well, Liu Ying was an old fox and could not be counted on.

Several days passed.

However, Marquis Pingliao did not raise the flag of rebellion, which led the generals of Beizhen to decide to join Marquis Pingliao without much psychological burden.

It is equivalent to controlling the geographical advantage outside the city of Beizhen, and Beizhen has become an isolated city.

After suffering, he became the supreme military officer.

"Why?"

soon.

Everyone agrees.

"It's still up to you to come forward."

"What do you mean? Didn't we agree?"

"It's still our own family who speaks freely, and we don't keep it up."

"He is the emperor and sits in the world, so he doesn't even want to give it to us as a duke?"

As Liu Chengmin said, if you have a clear understanding of the situation and look around the world, what chance does the court have of winning?
The best ending is nothing more than a peaceful corner, guarding the south alone.

Everyone knows that the Temperance Envoy of Beizhen hates King Zhongshun the most.

No one is a fool.

Regardless of the strength of Jinjiang's army, the Liaoxi Army still has the advantage of defending by relying on its geographical advantage.

With no soldiers in hand, and the court can't count on it, all the local officials can do is to keep the situation from collapsing.

"And Liu Ying, I have to make him a Duke."

Jinjiang Town has always been rigorous.

In the past two months, the situation in Denglei has changed so quickly that people are speechless.

Li Changsong said firmly.

Simultaneously.

So, Zhao Yong spoke directly.

Li Changsong did not pretend to be an envoy in front of Tao Jie, nor did he claim to be his envoy.

"Many of the generals in the Liaoxi Army have contacts with my mansion. I will spread the news about Liu Ying's killing of Zhao Yong, and at the same time woo the generals below to directly join Baoguo Gong."

"So good."

Jia Jian clapped his hands in praise.
