A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 290 Destroy the Song Dynasty (End of this volume)

The speed of development of power is like a snowball, the faster it rolls, the faster it rolls.

At first, it took several years for Liangshan to sort out all the problems within the territory, but now after capturing the two states of Denglai, it only took a few months to solve everything, turning the two states into what Liangshan looked like.

On the one hand, once you become familiar with it, you will already have experience to follow when you do an unfamiliar method for the second time.

Those problems that are often encountered at work have long been familiar to me, and they have been eliminated in advance before they happen.

On the other hand, the number of officials under his command increased.

In addition to those literati who had despaired of the Song Dynasty regaining lost territory and began to get used to life under Liangshan, there were also a large number of quick-service officials trained in church schools.

With the emergence of this group of competitors, those literati who originally thought that the country must be governed by Confucian scholars also bowed their heads obediently.

But at the same time, something happened that made Liangshan feel heavy.

Drought has also begun in the two states of Denglai!

Liangshan, Juyi Hall.

All the leaders gathered here and began to discuss the matter.

Zhu Wudang first introduced the situation and finally explained:

"Brother, the autumn harvest is around the corner. The food supply in Denglai and Denglai Prefectures will not be greatly affected this year, but it is hard to say what will happen next year."

"My younger brother has hired a large number of construction teams to start building farmland water conservancy facilities in Denglai State. It is expected to be basically completed in one or two years."

"But if the upstream side of the Song Dynasty also becomes dry, the river water network will definitely be greatly affected. It is still unclear how effective our water conservancy facilities can be."

"Although the overseas food can be a great supplement, it is not a solution in the long run. This matter must be solved."

Fan Rui next to him shouted to the general.

"Brother, there is one day in the sky and one year on the earth. The gods in the sky cannot always stare at the lower world. I think it is mostly those bullshit reporting to the sky!"

"Let's simply destroy the Song Dynasty, kill all those stinky Taoist priests, and burn their Po Tao Temple. Let's see what they do."

Zhu Fu next to him shook his head and retorted:

"Of course it would be nice to kill them all, but the problem is, if the Taoist priest hides in some deep mountain and old forest, and secretly continues to report to the sky, how can we tell the difference?"

"On the contrary, I feel that the gods and Buddhas in the sky may not be able to cause drought in the whole world. Most of them will only target Liangshan."

Fan Rui was dissatisfied and glared:

"This makes no sense. In the eyes of the gods and Buddhas, getting rid of your brother is obviously more valuable than the lives of the people of the Song Dynasty. Why can't you do this?"

"What the hell, do you still think that gods and Buddhas have a conscience?"

Shi Xiu also interjected:

"I think what Brother Zhu Fu said makes sense."

"I just looked at the information given by Brother Zhu Wu and discovered a phenomenon."

"When Liangshan was in drought, the states of the Song Dynasty did become rainier. And when the Denglai Prefecture became more arid, it also rained more in the states of the Song Dynasty."

"So I have a guess. The total amount of rain in this world should be fixed. The gods and Buddhas in the sky did not make my Liangshan drought. Instead, they took away the rain that should have belonged to my Liangshan and distributed it privately. The states of the Song Dynasty.”

"The territory of Liangshan Prefecture is too small now, so evenly dividing it into the Song State's prefectures will not have much impact."

"But if our Liangshan territory further expands and occupies half of the world, and is as big as the Song Kingdom, it is very likely that when our Liangshan Mountains are drought everywhere, then the Song Kingdom will flood everywhere."

After everyone listened, they hurriedly looked at the information in front of them and found that what Shi Xiu said was indeed reasonable. The rain in various parts of the Song Dynasty had indeed increased with the drought in Liangshan.

Fan Rui slapped his thigh and said excitedly:

"If that's true, it would be easy. We only need to defeat the Song Kingdom, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky will be helpless!"

Everyone applauded after hearing this, but Shi Xiu hesitated and said:

"If we really take over the entire Song Dynasty, what if the gods and Buddhas ask us to control half of the droughts and half of the floods?"

After everyone listened, they all fell silent, not knowing how to respond.

Zhu Wu hesitated for a moment and said:

"Droughts can be solved by artificial irrigation, and floods can be solved by drainage pipes. The key lies in whether our management is effective."

"If our water conservancy projects are done well, it will be half drought and half flood. In fact, it will not be a big problem."

"Back when Dayu controlled floods, he could control such big floods. If we can't solve even small floods, it must be our own problem. We can't blame others."

"Well said!" Li Gui finally agreed, "Instead of being slowly manipulated by the gods and Buddhas in the sky, it is better to detonate the conflict as early as possible, and the soldiers will cover it up with water and earth, but that's it!"

"In this case, we will simply occupy the Song Kingdom and see how the gods and Buddhas in the sky will respond."

"Brothers, make preparations. After the autumn harvest, we will send our troops to all directions to destroy the Song Dynasty and unify the world."

Everyone agreed in unison and went to prepare happily.

The movements on the Liangshan side were naturally discovered by the Song State, but now the Song State has thousands of heavy cannons and tens of thousands of small cannons. Even ordinary cities have hundreds of large and small cannons.

The city close to Liangshan's territory was densely covered with artillery, and there was no fear of Liangshan's attack.

Now the Song Dynasty is very superstitious about the power of artillery, especially in the cities on the border of Xixia and Liao Kingdoms. Artillery has completely proved its role as a city-defending artifact, making the border guards of the Song Dynasty impregnable.

Especially when the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin came and wanted to join forces with the Song Kingdom to destroy the Liao Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom were even more excited.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin actually looked like a Han Chinese, and his speech and behavior must have been educated. However, his humble posture and sincere words made the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty look good.

"Your Majesty, I, a barbarian from Jin Country, had to rise up and resist the tyranny of Liao Country just because I was squeezed by Liao Country."

"After the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, all the sixteen states of Youyun were owned by the Song Dynasty."

"The Kingdom of Jin does not dare to covet the treasured land of the Central Plains. It only wants to be able to live in a small corner and live an ignoble existence."

The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin deliberately kept half of what he said. He only said that the Kingdom of Jin had captured half of the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Yanxi fled to Xijing in panic.

However, the fact that the Jin Kingdom was defeated by heavy artillery in Zhongjing and even Emperor Wanyan Aguda died of illness was concealed.

The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were indeed fooled.

According to the habits of the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty, they never dared to use force indiscriminately, but they still had the courage to take advantage of the opportunity to kill a drowned dog.

If you refuse such a good thing that comes to your door, you would be a fool!

Not only Zhao Ji wanted to be the Mingjun of the Song Dynasty who regained the Sixteen Provinces of Youyun, but all the ministers in the court also wanted to be such famous ministers, so they immediately swallowed the poisonous bait of the Jin Kingdom.

Historically, the Song army was so weak that they dared to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. What's more, the existence of artillery now makes the Song monarchs and ministers even more arrogant. How could they give up this golden opportunity?

So when Liangshan was gearing up to unify the Central Plains, the Song State also assembled a large army and made an agreement with the Jin State to set out to conquer Liao after the autumn harvest.

And when the Liao Kingdom came to Liangshan and planned to recruit Li Gui's envoys, they were driven back without even seeing Li Gui's shadow.

Time goes by, summer passes and autumn comes.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Zhenghe, five armies from Liangshan came out to attack Hebei, went down to Jiangnan and Huaixi, and went out to the capital and two lakes in the west, vowing to wipe out the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

Almost at the same time, the Song Kingdom also vowed to set out to destroy the Liao Kingdom and regain the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures.

The Song Dynasty had just sent away its army, and within a few days, it received a snowstorm of letters asking for help.

"Report..."

The fast horses that had been rushing for 800 miles were almost dead. The messenger went straight into the imperial city and prostrated himself before the emperor.

"Yingtian Mansion was captured by Liangshan bandits..."

"Daming Mansion fell, and the prefect Liang Zhongshu was killed..."

"There was an attack on Huainan East Road. Urgent request for help..." Zhao Ji was suddenly shocked and his expression changed:

"I have already included the killing star in the Dao Palace for sacrifice. Why is that Li Gui still angry?"

Ask again:

"Then there are countless artillery pieces in each city, why didn't they stop the thieves?"

The messenger said:

"Before the army started fighting, the bandit leader used some kind of demonic magic. He suddenly appeared on the city wall riding the demonic wind and killed all the gunners."

"The rebels took the opportunity to attack the city, and their artillery was fierce. Our army was unable to defeat it, so it fell quickly."

The kings and ministers of Song Dynasty were immediately shocked.

Nowadays, all their reliance on force has been placed on artillery, and they have long abandoned their generals.

Now I heard that artillery was useless against Liangshan, and I suddenly became frightened.

Zhao Ji hurriedly asked Qing Huanzi, the master of Xuanguo, to pay an audience and inquire about countermeasures.

What countermeasures could Qing Huanzi have? He just blamed Zhang Tianshi for everything.

"Your Majesty, maybe heaven has other arrangements, so you might as well ask Tianshi Zhang."

Zhao Ji hurriedly asked Zhang Tianshi to ask again.

Zhang Tianshi now had no choice but to step forward and said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. If it's a fight on the battlefield, Pindao won't be able to interfere. But if Li Gui uses some heretical technique to harass the gunner, Pindao will have his own way to break his spell."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and praised:

"If the Heavenly Master has any needs, just ask them, and I will comply with them."

"As long as Li Gui cannot interfere with the defenders, the imperial court will have its own artillery to defeat the enemy."

Zhang Tianshi then ordered a thousand strong soldiers to set up an altar in front of the capital's artillery array. They fought on foot and set up the formation, waiting for Li Gui to come.

With this confidence, even if the Liangshan Army fought in succession and fought all the way to Tokyo City, the Song monarchs and ministers did not panic at all. They only waited for Zhang Tianshi to capture Li Gui and then used artillery to regain the lost ground.

Even the army that attacked Youyun Sixteen States did not withdraw.

While receiving the bad news of the city's fall one after another, Youyun Sixteen Provinces were also in a state of unstoppable strength. They fought and won consecutive battles and conquered every city. They had defeated several cities in a row in a few days, and their marching speed was no slower than that of the Liangshan Army.

This also made the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty more confident in artillery.

As long as they can block Li Gui's magic, the thousands of artillery in Tokyo City will definitely make it impossible for the Liangshan thieves to come and go.

This time, the Liangshan Army came to unify the world, so they went against the norm. After occupying the city, they did not conduct a large-scale sweep, but quickly pushed forward, striving to level the Song Dynasty in the shortest possible time.

Finally, on this day, when the Song army was about to attack Jizhou City, the Liangshan army also pushed to the gate of Tokyo.

Following the old rules, Li Gui took the lead and rushed up to the city wall on hot wheels. He wanted to kill the Song army's artillery first to facilitate the advancement of subsequent troops.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped onto the city wall this time, he felt a blur in front of his eyes and fell into the formation.

In this formation, it was upside down, the sky was dark, the surroundings were boundless, and there was nothing. It was completely confusing for people to know how to deal with it.

Li Gui didn't understand the formation, let alone how to break it.

He activated the Hot Wheels and ran wildly through the formation at supersonic speed for a while, but was unable to escape from the formation.

Then he showed an eight-foot magatama and set fire to all directions for a while, but it had no effect.

"What a formation, it's really good, but it's a pity..."

Li Gui sneered and sent a message to the army outside through the "Exorcist True Lord" in his body.

In this battle, Li Gui had to run back and forth between different armies. In order to facilitate communication, he dispersed several brothers who died and were resurrected into various armies, and then used the Exorcist True Lord to burn incense to communicate with these brothers. communication, to deliver messages and perform positioning.

Through this positioning method, he could actually break out of the formation and return to the army, but what Li Gui wanted was not to retreat, but to destroy the formation.

After a moment, the space vibrated, and dozens of cannonballs the size of heads appeared out of thin air and landed in the formation.

Only a moment after the cannonball appeared, its position was covered by the formation and disappeared from the formation.

Li Gui laughed, took out the Tiancongyun Sword, and quickly rushed towards the location of the cannonball.

Then the cannonballs fell one after another, and Li Gui sprinted forward along the trajectory of the cannonballs. Every time a cannonball appeared, he raised the Tiancongyun Sword to add a layer of plague buff to the cannonball.

This formation can only change the space, but it cannot change the cannonball itself.

Although those who set up the formation were protected by the formation and kept moving, they would not be killed by these cannonballs, but the virus on the cannonballs covered the ground on the city wall as they rolled around.

When the people who set up the formation set foot on this ground again, they would be entangled by the plague, and then they would die.

Sure enough, within a moment, Li Gui only felt the space of the formation shake a few times, and then completely disappeared. A Taoist with a surprised look on his face was looking at him not far away.

Li Gui laughed loudly, and struck out with a sword. The Taoist priest flicked his sleeves, and the figure disappeared. However, after only a moment, his figure was revealed not far away, and he fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and dying. Warped.

The plague attack of Tian Cong Yun Sword was invisible, even Zhang Tianshi couldn't notice it, and the ship capsized in the ditch.

Seeing that Zhang Tianshi was dead, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty still dared to resist. They shouted and fled in all directions.

As soon as Li Gui's signal was sent, the Liangshan Army immediately occupied Tokyo City without any blood.

There was no fighting, no street fighting, and no bravery. Li Gui only sent troops to surround the imperial city, and the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty surrendered.

The simplicity of it made everyone in Liangshan stunned.

What surprised everyone even more was that Zhao Ji actually came over to have a relationship with Li Gui with a shy face.

"Brother Li, you are descended from the Heavenly Killing Star, and I am descended from the Emperor Shenxiao. We are all gods in the sky, and we are colleagues. Let's take care of each other!"

"Since Brother Li wants to be the emperor, then I will abdicate to Brother Li. The throne belongs to the mortal world, so how can I remember our future friendship in heaven!"

"I just want to ask Brother Li how you obtained the magical power of limb regeneration. Can you teach me?"

Not only Li Gui was shocked by what he did, but also all the courtiers and people in Liangshan.

One of the ministers beat his chest and stamped his feet, and cried out sadly:

"King Duan is frivolous and not worthy of ruling the world, I believe so!"

When Li Gui got it out of Zhao Ji's mouth, he suddenly burst out laughing after actually castrating Zhao Ji that day.

"Forget it, it would be a pity to kill such a wonderful man, so just become a great eunuch in the palace!"

"It just so happens that as long as you, the real Emperor of the Song Dynasty, are alive, if someone wants to rebel, they will probably come to rescue you, just in time to catch them all!"

Zhao Ji didn't care at all, he just laughed and wanted to get the magical power of limb rejuvenation in Li Gui's hand to resurrect Xiao Zhao.

He was even willing to issue a decree to make the resistance forces in various places surrender, but Li Gui refused.

Li Gui must kill these stubborn Song Dynasty defenders before he can rule.

Those old parties in the previous dynasty must understand that the battles that should be fought must be fought, and the people who should be killed must be killed. Otherwise, the country will not be won properly and the country will not grow.

The Liangshan army continued to advance. Even without Zhao Ji's cooperation, the various regions were leaderless, and they were all wiped out by Liangshan within a few months.

At this point, the Song State was completely destroyed and the Liang State was officially established.
