A dozen men in black rushed in, all of them covered their faces and holding big knives.

The camouflage was good, but Anxi knew at a glance that this was definitely a soldier, and the knife in his hand was a military standard.

As soon as they come in, they will cut anyone they see without saying a word.

Anxi directly raised his hand, sprinkled a large amount of poisonous powder, and then pulled Feng Heng back quickly, retreating into one of the houses.

The two burly men who stayed behind also gave a wink, and guarded the door of the room to prevent those men in black from entering.Looking at their current performance, Anxi felt that the death penalty could be avoided, but as for the living penalty, it would depend on how Huang Yaoshi dealt with it.

These men in black persisted for only a few minutes before falling to the ground one by one, following in the footsteps of the Tiger Gang.

Seeing this, the two men breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly found ropes to tie everyone up.

Not long after, Huang Yaoshi came back with three people.

Afterwards, Anxi and Huang Yaoshi interrogated them one by one, and found that these people were indeed soldiers of the Yicheng frontier army, as well as the butler and personal soldiers of the frontier general Qiao De.

This evening, they received an order to disguise themselves and kill everyone in the Tiger Gang.

These people belong to the soldiers and know some inside information.For example, Qiao De is the biggest official in Yicheng, but he is only a fourth-rank military officer, far inferior to General Feng in Wucheng, who is a second-rank military general.

Although Yicheng is also part of the border, it is only a small city, and it is tens of kilometers away from the border.But Wucheng is different. Wucheng is a big city with tens of thousands of people, and it is an important checkpoint for gold.

If Wucheng is broken, the seven consecutive cities behind will not be able to withstand the attack of Jinbing, which can be said to be the most important thing.

Therefore, Wucheng not only has tens of thousands of soldiers, but also has timely food and grass, and the leading general has always been the brave and skilled General Feng.

Yicheng is the closest city to Wucheng. There are only tens of thousands of people in the city, and only six thousand soldiers guarding the city. It can be said that there is a huge gap.

Generally speaking, there is no need for Qiao De to frame General Feng, because once something happens to General Feng, the Yicheng he guards will not be well, and it will definitely be attacked.

A failed general would not end well, especially in the Song Dynasty, where civility was always valued over martial arts. Once a general lost a battle, he would be killed.

However, Yicheng has a very strong condition, that is, it is the closest to Wucheng.

The surrounding area is a hundred miles, that is to say, the two cities are the corners of each other, and the other cities are far apart.

It can be said that Yicheng can be regarded as a satellite city of Wucheng, and it has the function of turning around for Wucheng.

For example, there are not enough soldiers in Wucheng, and some should be transferred from Yicheng.There is not enough food in Wucheng, and the food distributed by the imperial court has not yet arrived, so it can be borrowed from Yicheng first.

In short, Wucheng is very important, and everything should be based on the safety of Wucheng.

Therefore, Yicheng can actually be regarded as the logistics of Wucheng, which led to Qiao De not only familiar with the military in Yicheng, but also familiar with the soldiers of all ranks in Wucheng.

There was another incident in history, Wucheng was forced, and the soldiers guarding the border died for the country, but the court was in a critical period when the first emperor died and several princes were vying for the throne.

The imperial court has no time to deal with the affairs of the frontier, or in other words, even if someone wants to talk about it, they will be disturbed by the power of other princes, and no one wants the opponent's people to control the military power of the border.

But you can't ignore the border affairs, you can't just let the golden soldiers enter the border wantonly, right?

So someone came up with an idea to call in the surrounding generals and soldiers to guard it temporarily.

This idea was so bad that it didn't make sense, but no one raised any objections in the court that was in the whirlpool.

Who are you looking for?The most convenient one is of course the guard of Yicheng.

Who is this guard?After inquiring, good guy, he is still a celebrity!His name is Li Zhongya, he was born as a Jinshi, and he was a well-qualified Liuyuan in those days.

Such a talent should have been a civil servant with a bright future.But he is talented, but he is cheap, and he likes to criticize those officials at all levels who are not used to it.

Even once, he caught the opportunity and scolded the emperor bloody.

The emperor was so angry that he sent him to the border as a military governor, with the purpose of letting him die at the border and not come back.

The general at the border was kind, so he gave him a job of guarding Yicheng.

This job is not easy to do, big logistics, no reward for doing it well, and will be liquidated in various ways if it is not done well.But there is also a good point, there is no need to face the battlefield directly, and it is suitable for literati who have no strength to restrain a chicken.

Although Li Zhongya is proud of his talent, his ability is really not bad. He has done very well in Yicheng for three years, not only ensuring sufficient logistics for Wucheng, but also training his own soldiers for the development of Yicheng.

You know, before he came, the so-called Yicheng wasn't even a village, it was just the old, weak, sick and disabled who were eliminated by the soldiers of Wucheng.

Under Li Zhongya's management, Yicheng has really become a small city, and it is quite prosperous.

During this period, Li Zhongya not only developed Yicheng, but also learned a lot of knowledge about fighting. He also practiced with the veterans, training his originally weak scholar physique into the appearance of a border man.

The more he learned, the more he saw the dangers of Wucheng. As the only pass in a hundred miles, Wucheng is actually an isolated island because other cities are too far away.

If the Jin people are determined to fight and send several times more people, they can take Wucheng, and within half a month, there is no need to worry about the Song people's counterattack.

Such a Wucheng

,Too dangerous.

So Li Zhongya thought about it, and he still wanted to practice Yicheng, not only logistics, but also a checkpoint.

In this way, if Wucheng is broken, Yicheng can still persist for ten days and a half months. When rescue comes, the Jin soldiers will not be driven straight in.

It took another two years, and under his leadership, Yicheng also became a city with tens of thousands of people and, most importantly, tens of thousands of soldiers.

Later, when something happened in Wucheng, it was Li Zhongya who rushed to Wucheng with [-] soldiers and organized the people of Wucheng to defend the city together.

After the capital court received the news, it turned out that it was Li Zhongya who was the talker, so let him be.

Everyone knows that Li Zhongya does not belong to any prince, no, it should be said that he scolded all the princes once and offended everyone.

When you need him now, you can let him stand on top, and when you ascend the throne, you can directly stand up with disrespect, and then remove him.

So with an edict, Li Zhongya went directly from the guard of Yicheng to the general of Wucheng, from the official position of the fourth rank to the second rank, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

Along with the edict, there were [-] soldiers sent from surrounding cities to support them.

Li Zhongya is a capable man, the first time he fought, with the help of his [-] soldiers and the common people, he resisted the Jin soldiers outside the city for half a month.

Afterwards, another [-] reinforcements came, and it took him a few days to subdue these soldiers and lead them to win battles again and again.

The Jin people originally planned to take advantage of the death of the old emperor and the turmoil in the court to seize some territory of the Song Dynasty, but it happened that Li Zhongya's halberd fell into the sand.

Later, when the new emperor came to the throne, he thought that Li Zhongya had been against him, so he wanted to replace Li Zhongya and let him return to Yicheng to continue to guard the logistics.

When the Jin man heard about it, he was overjoyed and came to attack the city again.

The new general was not familiar with the military situation, so he almost fell. Fortunately, Yicheng was near, and Li Zhongya realized that something was wrong, so he rushed to help.

The new general didn't like Li Zhongya either, but he didn't dare to offend Li Zhongya, because Li Zhongya's mouth was really poisonous.

In the past ten years, he wrote hundreds of poems and books abruptly, scolding the court all over the place.

The general didn't want himself to be a puppet with a sticky head on his head, a big mouse, garbage, in Li Zhongya's mouth.

In the Song Dynasty, you may be convicted for thousands of reasons, but it is absolutely impossible for speech.

Because of the emphasis on literature over martial arts, the status of literati is held high, which has created a phenomenon that the more ugly the literati are, the more sought after they are.

Of course, it’s not about those people with vicious mouths, but you have to say something reasonable and insightful, and what you say can convince other literati, let alone you.

If it's just vicious swearing, it definitely won't work.That's not criticizing the current situation, it's a shrew cursing the street.

Therefore, people like Li Zhongya are avoided by the court, but they will not be convicted because of it.

It's like the old emperor, who was scolded by him, but in the name of entrusting him with important tasks, he could only be sent to the border to die instead of being thrown into prison.

All said, the new general is also afraid of talking.

Even if he didn't want Li Zhongya to take part in his own rights, he didn't dare to refuse too much, for fear that he would turn around and say that he was incompetent, and would be jealous of the virtuous and capable.

And the soldiers in Wucheng were subdued by Li Zhongya at the beginning, leading them to win many battles, so they believed in Li Zhongya more than the new generals.

No matter what Li Zhongya ordered, they could 100% implement it.

The final result also showed that Li Zhongya succeeded again and kept Wucheng.

After the victory, Li Zhongya patted his ass and returned to Yicheng to continue his logistics career.

From then on, whenever there was a war in Wucheng, Li Zhongya became the actual general, and those so-called generals became decorations.

In this way, the soldiers in Wucheng were firmly in the hands of Li Zhongya, and everything the new emperor did was meaningless.

Later, the new emperor thought about it, and found that Li Zhongya was also good. Although he was very talkative, as long as he didn't provoke him, he was still a general.

What's more, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was not easy to do, there was no such thing as a speech, and many things depended on the opinions of the officials.

So since he took office, the new emperor's life has been very aggrieved.

However, the consistent tradition of the Song Dynasty was to respect literati and not to beat and scold scholars at will, so he could only hold back.

The new emperor can't do it, but Li Zhongya can do it. He not only scolded, but also scolded more and more ugly, which made the faces of those officials turn ashen.

After Xindi knew about it, he felt very comfortable.

So when Li Zhongya scolded himself when he was the prince, he lightly forgot about it.

He is already the emperor, how can he still think about those little things, he should be tolerant.

Li Qing is so talented, what he said was from his heart.

Sure enough, he is his loyal and good minister. Not only can he help me guard the border, but he also agrees with me. Those officials are just a nest of snakes and rats!

Therefore, the new emperor, who had found a sense of identity, issued an imperial decree, making Li Zhongya completely the guard of Wucheng, the second rank.

Moreover, during Li Zhongya's lifetime, he has always been the patron saint of Wucheng.
