The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

Originally they were supposed to eat at noon, but there was no soldier to take care of them. By night, they were already hungry.

Especially Shouming, who has always been pampered, couldn't bear it at all, so he shouted outside in the big tent: "Is there anyone? Are you going to starve to death your uncle?"

But no matter how much he yelled, no one outside agreed to them. After a long time, Shouming's voice was going to be hoarse, and Li Dugong next to him said slowly: "Don't bother, there is no one outside!" .”

After hearing this, Shouming's heart trembled, and he asked, "What's going on?"

That Dugong Li also possesses supernatural powers, so he has sharp eyes and ears.

This morning, Dugong Li heard that there was a mess in the camp. At first he thought that the enemy army was attacking, but he still had a chance to think that as long as these people were defeated, he would kill them. able to survive.

But in the afternoon, he found that the soldiers in the barracks had retreated in an orderly manner, and only then did he know that Yang Heng might be about to retreat.

At the beginning, Dugong Li was still very scared. He thought that Yang Heng would not leave the three of them alive when he left.

But as the camp became quiet and no one came to kill him, Dugong Li realized that Yang Heng didn't want to completely turn against the court, so he spared their lives.

However, although Yang Heng spared their lives, he still wanted to make people like himself suffer some flesh and blood, so he left them here without food or drink.

By the time Jinan City finds something is wrong and comes to rescue them, the three of them may already be hungry for several meals.

"It's nothing, I'm afraid this Yang Heng has already separated from the court, and now the army is going to withdraw to Henan and become his tyrant." Dugong Li explained boringly.

After hearing this, Shouming heaved a long sigh of relief. Last night he was worried all day, and he was afraid that some knives and axes would come in and cut him down. Now it seems that he finally saved his life.

In this way, the three of them were in the military tent, and only in the daytime of the next day did a soldier sneak around outside the tent.

When Dugong Li saw someone coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Who's that outside? Our family is Li Shunze, the commander-in-chief of Jinan."

It turned out that Dugong Li was named Li Shunze before the Wei and Jin imperial palaces, but he changed his name when he entered the palace. When he was in charge of the army, he changed his name back for his own prestige.

When the little soldiers outside heard that it was Li Shunze's name, they hurriedly paid for it.

As soon as he came in, he swept away Dugong Li who was tied there, and he was indeed their commander-in-chief.

So the little soldier hurried forward to Li Dugong and untied the rope.

Dugong Li rubbed his shoulders, and then ordered the soldiers to untie the ropes of the other two.

After being untied, Shou Ming grabbed the soldier's arm and asked anxiously, "What happened outside?"

The little soldier didn't answer Shouming, because he didn't know who this person was, so he turned his head and glanced at Li Dugong, which meant asking if he could answer.

Dugong Li also wanted to know the situation outside, so he nodded slightly.

Then the little soldier replied: "Reporting to my lord, the reinforcements from Henan set off yesterday afternoon and returned to Henan. Notify the imperial court, and come to the barracks to investigate the situation."

After hearing this, Shouming felt a little apprehensive. Not only did he not succeed in his remonstrance this time, but he forced Yang Heng back. I am afraid that there will be no reinforcements in Shandong in the future. How can they fight against the White Lotus Sect? Grandpa knows the situation here, will he punish himself?

Shouming became more and more frightened now as he thought about it, he couldn't help but look at Li Dugong next to him, and then said in a low voice: "Li Gonggong, we discussed this matter together, if the court blames it, you have to do it for me." Share it."

Chapter 569 The mess

After listening to Shouming's words, Dugong Li smiled wryly. Now he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and cannot protect himself, so how can he care about Shouming?

"Your Highness, it's not because this old slave doesn't try his best, he really doesn't have that ability. If His Highness is afraid of being punished by the emperor, he might as well write a letter to his family as soon as possible. Maybe the prince has a way."

After hearing this, Shouming felt a chill in his heart, and finally thought about it, and now there is only this way.

……

Not to mention that Shouming and the others are here to clean up the mess, but also that Yang Heng left Shandong slowly with a large team of people, traveled forty or fifty miles a day, and finally returned to Henan after more than ten days.

As soon as the army entered Henan, Yang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yang Heng also has a lot of people under his command, when he was in Shandong, he was always afraid that Dugong Li and the White Lotus Sect would abandon their past and attack together, so Yang Heng was restless day and night.

This time I finally arrived at my own territory, and I can take a good rest.

So that night, Yang Heng ordered the brigade to set up camp temporarily, and then take a good rest for two days.

At this time, the news that Yang Heng had withdrawn from Shandong and returned to Henan also spread to the capital.

After Emperor Shunde received the report, he was so angry that the seven orifices were filled with smoke.

He originally wanted to rely on Yang Heng to sweep the world down, but he didn't expect that the people under him were actually rich and rich, and they ruined his grand plan.

The old eunuch next to Emperor Shunde had already got the news before Emperor Shunde, so he already had countermeasures.

"Long Live Lord, don't get angry, what will the world do if you hurt the dragon's body?"

Emperor Shunde was originally in poor health. During this period of time, he relied on the magic skills of the old eunuch, so he seemed to be fine, so now he is very concerned about his body.

Now, upon hearing the old eunuch's advice, he immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and sat back on the throne again.

"Tell me, what should I do next?"

After Emperor Shunde said this, he said to himself again: "If it really doesn't work, send Xiao Wu to Yang Heng and let him deal with it. Maybe Yang Heng can be saved."

The old eunuch's eyes flickered a few times after listening to the side, and then he said softly in Emperor Shunde's ear: "Long live, the grandson of the fifth emperor has also learned some skills by being by Yang Heng's side these years. Speaking of being on the battlefield, he is quite good at fighting.”

Emperor Shunde nodded slightly, then looked up at the old eunuch.

"Speak straight, don't hesitate."

"It's still Long Live Lord who understands slaves."

Then the old eunuch said seriously: "Long live Lord, the world is in turmoil now, and what is lacking is good generals who are used to fighting. Xiao Lizi and the fifth emperor's grandson are rare generals under Long live Lord's command now. If they are disposed of , who in this world will fight for the emperor?"

Emperor Shunde sighed helplessly, and then said: "But if Yang Heng is not brought back now, who will suppress the anti-kings in this world?"

The old eunuch smiled slightly, then put his mouth next to Emperor Shunde's ear, and said a few words like this.

Emperor Shunde was still sad after hearing this, but he slowly smiled.

"Okay, that's a great idea."

The emperor of Shunde took the case and said, "Just do it according to your idea, and send people to implement it as soon as possible."

The old eunuch got the order from Emperor Shunde, smiled slightly, then bowed and left the hall.

Emperor Shunde sat on the throne, looked at the back of the old eunuch, and sighed.

Now he felt as if he was the last emperor, he could only rely on these eunuchs to handle affairs, and he hardly had a loyal minister or general under his command.

It's not that Emperor Shunde is alarmist, it's because he knows the ministers under him very well.

There is a huge family behind these people, and these families that support them are all local powerful factions.

And the powerful factions in these places are inextricably linked with those master cultivators of various sects.

Therefore, I think that the current Emperor Shunde dare not confide his thoughts to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. He is afraid. He just said something today, and within a few days it reached the ears of those anti-kings.

The only hope now is to see if the old eunuch can reassign Yang Heng.

……

Yang Heng rested for a few days at the border between Shandong and Henan, and then urged the army again to go straight to Kaifeng, Henan.

The current Yang Heng is completely a local bully in Henan. He has completely replaced the original Song King and controls all the military and political power in Henan.

Therefore, these tens of thousands of troops were unimpeded in the territory of Henan. Every time they passed a city, officials from the city would greet them outside the Shili Pavilion, and then prepared food and lodging for Yang Heng, flattering every detail.

And Yang Heng did not refuse these officials, because apart from some of Jin Chanwen's subordinates, most of these people were selected from the local gentry.

Yang Heng knew very well that his rule in Henan depended on these people, so every time he met with officials, he would comfort him with gentle words.

Seeing Yang Heng's harmony, those low-level officials were also secretly relieved.Some time ago, they were tossed a lot by the false king of Song, but now they can finally live their little lives with peace of mind.

When Yang Heng's army was about to arrive in Kaifeng, he finally received the reward of visiting the horse again.

Shandong is now once again in a mess.

After Yang Heng's army left Shandong, the second child of the White Lotus Sect had several battles with Dugong Li again.

That Xiao Er is now very powerful, Li Dugong is not a witch at all to this witch.

Therefore, Dugong Li lost his army and lost his general. If it weren't for the fact that Shou Ming still has some skills and still carries the scissors given by Erya, Jinan City may have been breached again by the White Lotus Sect.

But even so, the imperial army couldn't hold on anymore.

Therefore, one point after another of urgent documents was sent to the capital, thinking that the emperor of Shunde would quickly send the forbidden army in the capital to support Shandong.

However, the Emperor Shunde didn't even look at these documents asking for help, because he now regarded the 20 forbidden troops as his last weight, how could he send them out so easily?

However, Emperor Shunde also knew that the front line was tight, so he gave Shouming a share, and even allowed Shouming to recruit troops nearby at will. library silver.

That is to say, the money gave Shouming a buffer.

Because Shouming had been in Yang Heng's army for a long time, he knew very well about Yang Heng's recruiting and training methods.

Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict, Shouming directly ordered people to forcibly arrest more than 2 strong men in Jinan City.

There is no way to do this, because people in Jinan City are already panicked, and no one will volunteer to join the army.

After Shouming had these 2 people, he conducted a series of emergency training, and then he was given a big reward, which made the 2 people feel at ease temporarily.

It is precisely because of the participation of more than 2 people that the situation in the court has temporarily stabilized.

The side of the imperial court has stabilized, but the side of the White Lotus Sect is not feeling well.

You must know that the White Lotus Sect is still very attractive to the poor people, but it is heart-wrenching for those landlords and gentry.

Therefore, with the passage of time, the activities of the White Lotus Sect in the countryside have been hit hard.

Because of this, the food and grass of the hundreds of thousands of troops on the side of the White Lotus Sect is a little bit useless. If Xiaoer hadn't been so tough and sent troops to forcefully collect rent from the landlords below, I'm afraid his hundreds of thousands of troops would have been coaxed a long time ago. And scattered.

But even so, Xiao Er saw that it was useless to continue besieging Jinan, so she could only temporarily retreat to the outskirts of Jinan City, and began to slowly wipe out the counties and cities around Jinan. I want to rely on this to completely trap Jinan in the local area.

However, Shouming received part of Yang Heng's modern education, so taking advantage of the buffer now, he led the more than 2 people he trained to start a guerrilla war against the White Lotus Sect.

This time, on the vast plains of Shandong, the two sides came and went, and a tragic fight began.

This is exactly the information about Shandong that Yang Heng got.

Yang Heng looked at the letter in his hand with a smile on his face.

"Madam, you should take a look too, this is information from Shandong."

Jin Chanwen took it over and took a closer look, then smiled involuntarily.

"Haha, do they regret it now?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe this situation is also foreseeable for them."

Jin Chanwen was slightly startled, and immediately understood what Yang Heng meant.

On the surface, it seems that the imperial court has lost Yang Heng, a general, but on a deeper level, the imperial court has fully understood Yang Heng's attitude, and I am afraid that it will not give Yang Heng any support in the future, so as to save endless trouble. Adding the bargaining chip on my side to Yang Heng, let Yang Hengwen continue to grow.

But Yang Heng didn't care about it. He smiled and said to Jin Chanwen: "Now the eyes of the world are probably focused on Shandong. If the court loses this battle, I'm afraid the court will become besieged on all sides. .”

Jin Chanwen nodded slightly, and then continued: "If the imperial court can defeat the White Lotus Sect, maybe they can still retain half of the country."

Yang Heng also nodded, a thought that should not have arisen in his heart, he hoped that the imperial court would be defeated as soon as possible, and she would be able to profit from it by then.

Jin Chanwen watched Yang Heng touch her bulging stomach, and finally said: "Sister, you have to make up your mind this time, even if you don't think about me, you should also consider our children."

Yang Heng nodded, and then said: "Don't worry, I will never let neither of your mother and son end."

Chapter 570 The Big Tree Attracts the Wind

After Yang Heng made up his mind, he began to reorganize the army near Kaifeng. In addition to rigorously training the original army, he also began to recruit troops and gather grass to store food.

Based on this alone, Yang Heng has committed a big taboo, almost no different from those anti-kings everywhere.

And at this time another imperial decree was passed to Yang Heng, the Emperor Shunde who was in the capital even ignored Yang Heng's private retreat, and even named Yang Heng the general of the world's soldiers and horses.

This time, Yang Heng's reputation became even stronger, and people all over the world regarded Yang Heng as the white jade pillar supporting the sky and the purple golden beam erecting the sea in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

And the anti-kings of the world also regarded Yang Heng as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.

In addition, the last time Yang Heng played against the false King of Song, he killed all the cultivators under his command, so the sects of cultivation in the world also regarded Yang Heng as a different kind.

And at this time, a news came out of the court for some reason, saying that after Emperor Shunde planned to put down the rebellion in the world, You Yangheng would be in charge of the Daolu Division and lead the cultivators in the world.

Originally, Yang Heng was also in charge of the Daolu Department as a national teacher, but it was just a name.

This time, it can be regarded as pushing Yang Heng to the opposite side of the cultivation sect in the world.

In Kaifeng City, Yang Heng also felt his hands and feet were cold after receiving the news. He didn't expect that Emperor Shunde would see through him just now when he had a little self-reliance, and he backhanded him with such a trick.

At this time, Jin Chanwen's belly was obviously swollen. He and she looked at Yang Heng who was frowning and smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, as long as we stick to Henan, we don't have the intention of peeping at other places. Heart, the anti-kings in the world haven't been able to find us for the time being."
