I am the one running the game

Chapter 56 Foreigners enter the customs, and the sworn brother version of the King of Liao appears.

After Lu Xingshi and Murong Xuan took a small portion of the gold and silver in the treasure house, they returned to their peaceful lives, waiting for Tingfengting's information.

However, before they could wait for the information, they heard the news about foreigners entering the customs.

This time it was no longer the barbarians, but four tribes of barbarians, Rong and Di. They first broke through the Tiange Pass, and then entered the northern part of the Great Wall, defeating the Song army. In the end, they could only use the Tianzhi Mountains as a barrier to prevent the four tribes from advancing. The footsteps are currently blocked.

As for the reason, Lu Xingshi and the others knew something about it through Tingfeng Ting. It was probably the operation of the military generals and the interference of civilian officials. They adhered to the principle that even if they lost, they could not make meritorious deeds. Therefore, a group of laymen commanded the experts and died suddenly on the spot.

Next, the general took the blame and made an operation that caught everyone off guard, that is, a large number of capable generals were implicated.

During the period of the King of Liao, the northern part of Saibei was under the sovereignty of military commanders, and civilian officials could not come and point fingers. After the death of the King of Liao, the entire northern part of Saibei was controlled by the civil service group. Therefore, a large number of civilian officials were sent to supervise and supervise the army. They did not know that the soldiers were right. , but they know how to grab credit.

Then, the barbarian chief Aha took advantage of this trend to unite the four tribes of the barbarians Rong and Di. He claimed that he and the King of Liao who fell into the water in the north of the Great Wall were righteous brothers. Therefore, the elder brother and the younger brother also called themselves kings, and they called the current emperor their righteous father. , now became the new King of Liao in Saibei.

Naturally, the court was outraged by this incident. You, a mere barbarian, dared to call yourself King of Liao, so the court and the world were filled with indignation.

However, he couldn't stand the thick skin of the new Liao king, and after experiencing the last failure, he had made great improvements. Through the transformation and self-naturalization of Saibei, he declared the principle of sworn brothers and quickly digested Saibei. I'm afraid it won't be that easy to drive them out again.

Firstly, it was because they had mastered Xiongguan, and secondly, even the generals were afraid.

It's not that he's afraid of the new Liao king, but he's afraid of the court.

In the situation of using civil servants to control military officials, civil servants were originally valued over military officers. Now the court is still controlled by civilian officials. If they win, they will downplay and take away the credit. If they lose, they will be killed.

So most of them stay home claiming to be sick.

However, under high pressure, a large army was mobilized, with a total of 100,000 people in front and behind, preparing to annihilate 'King of Liao' Ahachu in one fell swoop.

After Lu Xingshi heard the news, he was also extremely surprised. He had no idea that Ahachu was so powerful. The barbarian was indeed beaten by him and many internal problems arose. However, he diverted the conflicts and was able to deceive others. The three tribes allied together.

Coupled with the fact that Dayi and Qing Junzi came to pull the flag, they made themselves crazy and even took down Saibei.

Of course, these things must be attributed to Da Song's own suicide.

The latest information only comes when the imperial court sends troops to Saibei, and the follow-up information has not been received yet.

However, in terms of controlling public opinion, the court did a very good job. Jianghu and ordinary people were mobilized, and the blame was transferred perfectly. The fault was not the emperor and their loyal civil servants, but the failure of the generals. Shameless and cunning with barbarians.

In this regard, Lu Xingshi also had to give a thumbs up.

"After the two failures of King Liao and King Wu, Da Song's suppression of military power became more and more serious."

"I'm afraid it's hard to get back now." Murong Xuan said with some worry. Once the 'King of Liao' crossed the Tianzhi Mountains and continued southward, Da Song would definitely be in ruins.

He didn't care about the princes in the court, but he couldn't care about the people of Dasong. Murong Xuan didn't want to use weapons.

Lu Xingshi rolled his eyes: "Master, you are a remnant of the previous dynasty, and you still care about Da Song." "Da Song's life and death has nothing to do with me, but the people are different." Murong Xuan shook his head and corrected the difference in Lu Xingshi's words.

"Master, what are you looking at me for... You don't want me to go north. The four tribes of barbarians, Rongdi, and Di have joined together, totaling 50,000 people. In addition to the population that is still migrating in one after another, there must be at least 50,000 people. I can't defeat hundreds of thousands of people." Lu Xingshi was so stared at by Murong Xuan that his scalp went numb.

After occupying the northern part of the Great Wall, the reason why the 'King of Liao' did not continue to move south, apart from the Tianzhi Mountains and the digestion forces, was to bring in all the tribes living in the Gobi Desert and all the desert tribes. The 200,000 people are now, but who will be there in a while? Know how many people there are.

This move directly won back the hearts of foreigners, which is why Aha's position as the 'King of Liao' was so stable and he could continuously expand his power.

In other words, Aha's emergence has become a trend now, and Dasong's desire to regain Saibei is basically no different from a whim.

Lu Xingshi had no way to solve it at all. Even if he killed Aha Chu, an heir would appear afterwards.

"Oh, forget it, I can only leave it to fate." Murong Xuan sighed. He really couldn't bear to let Lu Xingshi do such a dangerous thing.

"Don't worry, Cai Qiuhe will take action."

"If Dasong Jiangshan really changes hands, how can he still be the emperor?"

"I really thought that Aha Chukai would be as under his control as the current one. I'm afraid if he hadn't had this idea, the Wendokou Hall would have been destroyed by Aha Chukai."

"The barbarian Rong Di will not tell them any etiquette."

"So the first one to be anxious must be Cai Qiuhe and his Wen Dao Hall." Lu Xingshi consoled him.

This is true. Is it as difficult to usurp the throne from a puppet emperor as to usurp the throne from a founding emperor?
What's more, Aha sent out strong troops and horses. Once he took control of the Central Plains, Cai Qiuhe had no power to resist.

It can only be said that the other party played a good hand with bad cards and gave the outsiders an advantage in a good situation.

Of course, if he changed his position, Lu Xingshi could also understand how Cai Qiuhe could have imagined that Xiao Xiami, who had been beaten by Da Song and dared not resist, would dare to resist.

The prerequisite for not daring to resist was that Da Song was very strong and had the strength to beat them up. Now Da Song not only showed weakness, but also lost one of his arms. No wonder Xiao Xiami, who was beaten, turned over and bit off a piece of Da Song's body. Come meat.

"That's true. I'm afraid Cai Qiuhe will make another stupid move." Murong Xuan knew that in the eyes of the civil service group, these stupid moves were good strategies that benefited them, but they were just unfriendly to Da Song.

"No matter how messy it is, it would be better if I forcefully seize the Zhen Sect inheritance from each sect in the future." Lu Xingshi said slowly.

He doesn't care about Da Song. The Song people are human beings and the barbarians are human beings. They are all the same in his eyes. He is not a Song person. He has to question whether he is a human being.

"You are really trying to find opportunities..." Murong Xuan heard Lu Xingshi's words, but this time he did not object. Everything was in chaos, so he might as well give his disciple more resources to grow.

Emotionally and rationally, he naturally favors his disciples over outsiders.
