"Sun Chuanting mistook me, Sun Chuanting mistook me!"

Gao Mingheng beat his chest and stamped his feet, his eyes turned red.

"I thought Sun Baigu would be very powerful in suppressing thieves, but unexpectedly he was defeated by the thieves this time. What else can Kaifeng rely on now? I hate Hou Xun, the old man, who fears thieves as much as a tiger, just watching Kaifeng suffer. It's a pity for Chen Yongfu, eh ,Eh..."

Gao Mingheng felt like he was mourning and asked: "Now that the intruders are coming again, how can Kaifeng be defended!"

Compared with Gao Mingheng's pessimism, King Zhou was much calmer.

"Why is Governor Gao doing this?" King Zhou said: "Although Sun Chuanting was defeated, there is still a winner. It seems that the intruder has never benefited. After careful calculation, it may not be impossible to turn things around. The top priority is that Governor Gao must act as soon as possible. Just contact Ying Yi’s headquarters.”

He added: "I will allocate another 100,000 in internal funds. Firstly, I will recruit more young men. I have to defend the city first. Secondly, I will give you a greeting gift so that General Ying can talk to you."

Hearing this, Gao Mingheng became slightly less depressed and said, "Your Highness is wise."

Then he asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, why don't you see Zhenren Li today?"

In the past, when he came to see the King of Zhou, Li Zhenren was always at the side. But he didn't see it this time, no wonder Gao Mingheng was confused.

King Zhou smiled and said: "Zhenren Li has gone out of the city. I have some small matters to deal with and will return at night."

Gao Mingheng felt a little relieved and said: "There are also strangers among the intruders. Without Zhenren Li to take charge, I will be uneasy after all."

King Zhou said: "The governor is relieved."

The battle ahead, the battle between the intruders and Sun Chuanting, was known to Kaifeng. But after all, I don't know what happened later. I only know roughly that after the intruder defeated Sun Chuanting, he did not get any benefits.

Ying Yi's troops and horses were looming inside, but after all, no battle report was sent to Kaifeng.

At present, Sun Chuanting's entire army has been wiped out, and the only one Kaifeng can rely on is the looming Ying Yi's troops. The king of Zhou did not hesitate to use the palace's funds again and use real money as a meeting gift.

Under the premise that Hou Xun pretended to be deaf and dumb, there was only this life-saving straw.

King Zhou seemed to be as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact he had no bottom in his heart. But the truth is, I can’t leave my family business in Kaifeng behind. The foundation of Prince Zhou's Mansion is here. King Zhou would definitely not want to abandon Kaifeng.

But he said that Mr. Li had indeed left the city.

This Mr. Li is indeed a strange person with magical powers. He was born in Wudang Mountain and had a Taoist temple in Kaifeng City. He had always been a guest of the Zhou Dynasty.

The intruders besieged Kaifeng and used strange methods to cause harm. If it weren't for Zhenren Li's command, Kaifeng would have been destroyed long ago.

In the morning, Zhenren Li spoke to King Zhou and left the city, saying that he had a small matter to deal with and would return sooner or later. The king of Zhou knew Li Zhen's character and could not stop him, so he let him go.

In the vast rain curtain, two figures, one tall and one short, were looming. They were all wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, strolling in the mud.

But they were just two Taoists.

One is Master Li and the other is his apprentice.

"Master said something happened, but I don't know what it is." The little Taoist priest's lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyes were pure.

Upon hearing this, Zhenren Li smiled softly and said, "If something happens, it's not a small matter, it's a big deal."

"A big deal?" The little Taoist priest didn't know why.

Li Zhenren said leisurely: "You are not stupid. You have been in Kaifeng as a teacher for a long time, but what insights do you have? Kaifeng city can be defended, but it cannot be defended? Why did the trespassers return? What methods did they use to break the city? ?What will happen if the city is destroyed?"

The little Taoist priest was startled when he heard this and said: "Master, Kaifeng City has high walls and thick walls. It can be defended, right? The intruders surrounded Kaifeng and were determined to break the city. Isn't it natural for them to recover? As for the means to break the city, Master has Now, he can only attack with force."

Li Zhenren laughed, shook his head and said: "How can it be so simple?"

He said: "I, the Taoist, have many eyes and ears among the three religions and nine streams. The king of Zhou did not know the battle situation on the front line, how could he not know the situation as a teacher? Then Li Chuang raised hundreds of thousands of troops and defeated Sun Chuanting. However, he was victorious. Later, in Ying He suffered a big loss at his hands. Ying Yi was really successful. He first destroyed Hao Yaoqi, Liu Zongmin, and Li Guo in Nanyang, then killed Lady Li Yanhong, and destroyed Luo Rucai. His military prowess was unprecedented. See. After Li Chuang defeated Sun Chuanting, he wanted to lead a great victory to destroy Ying Yi, but he was defeated by Ying Yi instead. Not only that, the road to the south was also blocked."

After a pause, Li Zhenren continued: "The intruders sent people to test, and more than ten thousand soldiers and horses collapsed at Luyang Pass. Li Chuang was as afraid as a tiger and did not dare to fight with him. However, there was no reason to go south, and he went west to Guanzhong. I don’t want to, but the Central Plains is a white land, and supplies are not easy to come by. We can only fight with Ying Yi by opening the seal again, taking supplies from the city, and taking the people in the city hostage."

After hearing this, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but said in surprise: "Since master knows, why didn't he tell King Zhou?"

Upon hearing this, Zhenren Li sighed: "I am saving him."

The little Taoist priest didn't understand.

Li Zhenren said: "You don't know Ying Yi. My teacher has never told you about it." He said: "Ying Yi is really a dragon in the clouds and a tiger in the mountains. Not to mention his powerful methods, he has a clear mind that encompasses the world. . In Nanyang, he exterminated bandits, occupied three counties, stabilized order, gathered the people, and opened up wasteland for farming. This was no longer the duty of a military commander, and his ambition was clear."

"Ah?!" The little Taoist priest was surprised when he heard this: "Is that so?"

Li Zhenren sighed: "He is a military general, and it is his duty to suppress thieves. However, he should not govern the local area. But he did it, clearly aiming at the world. Nowadays, the world is in chaos, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, and it is time to change dynasties. Li Chuang Doing many unjust things is not a good master. But this person is different. He has the advantage of military strength, and no matter how many thieves there are, he is no match for him. He governs the place and has the people in mind. The three counties have been stabilized, and the people will be happy. This is a wise master. posture."

"A dragon snake rises from the grass when encountering wind and clouds. From what I can see, the master has some of the best in the world. Since he has a self-reliance, he is now famous as the commander-in-chief of Huguang, and he is already showing off his skills to the fullest. It is inevitable. No matter the thieves or the government, they are all its enemies."

At this point, Li Zhenren asked the little Taoist priest: "If you were him, would you save King Zhou, and would you save Governor Gao?"

The little Taoist priest shook his head: "If you have the heart to be independent, both the King of Zhou and the high governor will be constrained. It will be useless to save you, but it will be harmful."

But he said: "But master, he can't turn a blind eye to the millions of households in Kaifeng City?"

Li Zhenren laughed loudly: "Yes, he will definitely not want to save King Zhou and Governor Gao, but the people cannot ignore it. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. If he wants to stand on his own, he will definitely win the millions of people in Kaifeng. However, he Not only do you want to win people, but you also want to win hearts.”

The little Taoist priest thought thoughtfully: "If you can turn the tide before it falls and help the building before it collapses, the people will be grateful..."

"That's exactly the reason." Master Li stroked his hands and said, "That's why Li Chuang came back."

The little Taoist priest was stunned and blurted out: "Master, do you mean that Li Chuang was driven back deliberately by him?!"

Li Zhenren nodded slightly: "I think everything is under his control. He blocked Li Chuang from going to heaven or entering the earth, forcing him to open the seal again. When Kaifeng was about to collapse, he showed up to save him again. How could the people not In gratitude?!”

The little Taoist priest hesitated and said, "Isn't this cheating?"
