Fu Tang

Li Congjia looked at Zhao Kuangyin very strangely, and Zhao Kuangyin said blankly, "Is it useful if I say no?"

Li Congjia thought about it seriously and said, "Probably...it's useless."

Then I say a P!

It was rare for Zhao Kuangyin to want to swear, but he still endured it. He was afraid that after he sweared, Li Congjia would beat him up violently. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage if he couldn't fight back?

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Congjia and asked, "Your Highness, have you really thought it through? Are you going to Yunnei Prefecture?"

Li Congjia replied happily: "Yes."

Zhao Kuangyin said calmly: "Then let's study how to cross the Great Wall."

Li Congjia:? ? ? ? ?

Zhao Kuangyin smiled very gently: "Didn't Your Highness look carefully? Yunnei State is south of the Great Wall."

Oh shit, I actually forgot about this matter, Li Congjia wiped off his sweat silently, now the map he was looking at did not mark the location of the Great Wall, he almost forgot about the Great Wall!

Therefore, with the Great Wall, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was really able to let the Khitan enter the Central Plains.

Li Congjia couldn't help saying with emotion: "If Guo Rong is still there, the Khitan probably wouldn't dare to send troops."

Finally, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't hold back and said, "If Guo Rong is still here, we have nothing to do with you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to slap himself, why did he say it?

In the end, he did not expect that Li Congjia said very calmly: "Yes, if Guo Rong is still there, I guess I will stay in the Western Regions, and we will talk about it after he dies."

Do you admit it so quickly?Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Congjia in surprise.

Li Congjia patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I know you really love Guo Rong, but there is no if, so... let's study how to get to Yunnei Prefecture first."

Zhao Kuangyin almost threw him out, what the hell is this true love?

Li Congjia looked at the map and marked the location of the Great Wall bit by bit. Although he hadn't drawn a map for many years, he still had the feeling. After a while, he drew the general outline of the Great Wall. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly asked: " Old Zhao, tell me... will my elder brother bring someone here?"

Zhao Kuangyin froze for a moment: "What?"

Li Congjia put down his pen and said earnestly: "They should have got the news that we have burned Dongsheng Prefecture by now. Now that we have called Fengzhou, it is estimated that he will also get the news after a while. Will he bring someone to respond by then? us?"

Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to say that it was impossible, after all, they didn't really come here to fight for territory, and from the beginning to the end, Li Congjia never said that he would let Li Hongji take over. What Li Hongji had to do was to guard the border and prevent the enemy from overstepping.

It's just...he quickly thought of Li Congjia, thinking carefully that if their brothers are all so badass, it's not impossible. Even if he lost his crown prince position, he felt that the brain circuits of this family could not be guessed by normal people.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, "Why don't you send a message to Duke Su."

At least tell him not to act rashly.

Li Congjia waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let it be."

Zhao Kuangyin:? ? ? ? ?

Is this something that can be reckoned with?Does this brat need a beating?

Li Congjia added: "The Khitan people seem to be very popular with raising eagles. We only have carrier pigeons. It's okay to be eaten by eagles. If they are discovered, won't our identities be exposed? Yelvjing probably thinks that we are party officials. people."

Zhao Kuangyin silently put down his rolled-up sleeves, and had to admit that what Li Congjia said was indeed reasonable. It was not appropriate for them to contact Li Hongji now, but what if Li Hongji really led troops out?

Li Congjia said: "Forget it, don't worry about him. It's not like he hasn't led soldiers before. If he can fight against the Khitan army, he can share a little pressure with us. If he can't fight, he will leave. We will still follow the original plan." , Over the mountain, go to Yunnei Prefecture."

Zhao Kuangyin finally couldn't help but asked, "Can I ask, why are you so persistent in attacking Yunnei Prefecture?"

Li Congjia said regretfully: "I want to call Linhuang Mansion, isn't there no such condition?"

Zhao Kuangyin said in his heart, fortunately you didn't say you wanted to go to Liaoshangjing, otherwise I'd just strangle you to death right now, saving you from taking so many sons to death with you!

Ami Tofu, since Li Congjiakeng came out to lead the army, Zhao Kuangyin felt that his temper became more and more irritable, and if this continues, he might really kill the king.

But after he really had this idea in his mind, he threw it aside again. No matter how unreliable Li Congjia is, he is more reliable most of the time, which is better than those emperors who are unreliable most of the time. Now the Central Plains is counting on him , if he dies, Khitan's iron hooves will go south immediately.

So this is the reason why Zhao Kuangyin has not criticized Li Congjia until now.

Li Congjia said: "The most important thing is that after arriving in Yunnei Prefecture, we can take the opportunity to find a way to cut off the Khitan's food supply, or plunder their rations, and we can achieve our goal by causing them more trouble."

Well, for the sake of what you're saying, let's just... go ahead.

Zhao Kuangyin began to formulate a route without saying a word. Of course, this route is only an ideal route. If they will not meet the Khitan army on the way, this is the shortest way for them to take. If they meet the Khitan army and the opponent is stronger than them...then You can only run away first, and then adjust their direction according to the position.

After Li Congjia and Zhao Kuangyin reached an agreement, Li Congjia went back to catch up on sleep. He really hadn't had a good night's sleep these days, and he was about to go on the road again. He didn't know what was waiting for them, so he could only try his best here Sleep more, let the body get enough rest.

Then when he woke up, he happened to meet Zhao Kuangyin who came over and asked him, "Will you burn the city when you leave?"

Li Congjia thought for a while and said, "Let's burn it. Anyway, we won't be coming here for a while. Even if we get the place here in the future, it will be a big deal to rebuild the city. By the way, how many people have been captured?"

Zhao Kuangyin replied happily: "No."

Li Congjia said with a look of don't like me: "No?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "The moment I found them, I chopped them all down."

Li Congjia asked with a question mark on his face: "What? What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, please repeat it."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "The captives have all been chopped off, what's the problem?"

"No, none of you stayed?" Li Congjia looked at Zhao Kuangyin in shock: "Are you going to learn the rhythm of nothing?"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "I learned this from Your Highness!"

Just as Li Congjia was about to say something, he realized that he had ordered the slaughter of all the captives in Dongsheng Prefecture before. The root cause of Ami Tofu was him.

However, there were few people in Dongsheng Prefecture at that time, and there were not many captives. Most of them were Han slaves who were captured. Fengzhou... If Li Congjia remembers correctly, there should be at least tens of thousands of captives. All the people were chopped off?

It seems that it is impossible not to burn it, otherwise the Khitan army will go crazy if they see the corpses all over the city.

Li Congjia immediately said: "Pack up your things and prepare to leave. Oh, by the way, are there any Han people here?"

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated and said: "There are not many Han people here, but there is a small team, which is part of the Khitan army. Now I beg us to let them go and let them return."

After hearing this, Li Congjia sneered and said, "Return? Where? Back to Khitan? These people are originally Han Chinese, but they are working for the Khitan people. When the Khitan people raised their butcher knives against their compatriots, they were all accomplices. What? Let them follow."

Zhao Kuangyin was a little surprised. He heard what Li Congjia said, thinking that he would let people kill all those people, but let them follow?

Li Congjia explained: "Aren't we working with fewer people? Let them continue to be slaves. Anyway, we are party members. It's normal to do this, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help complaining: "A party member who speaks Chinese?"

Li Congjia thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, Li Yiyin and the others have always admired the culture of the Central Plains, so they said that we should be influenced by him. Besides, these people are slaves. Do we need to explain clearly? Even if they know, don't I? Give them a chance to tell the Khitan people?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I'm worried that they will have something to guide the Khitan army."

Li Congjia stroked his chin and said, "Is that so... I remember... the thunder box in our hands hasn't been used much yet, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded. Recently, they either attacked the city or confronted each other head-to-head. Things like thunder boxes were well prepared. Many thunder boxes were even dismantled and made into multi-barrel ammunition.

A sly smile appeared on Li Congjia's face: "It would be great if these people really left a mark. After we set up camp, let those people taste the power of the thunder box."

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes lit up and said, "It's better to be buried on the grassland."

In fact, you don't need to bury it, just find a hole and throw it in, most people probably won't see it!

Li Congjia said: "Okay, pack up your things and get ready to go."

Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and went out to deliver the order. Li Congjia looked at the room. Although this room was far from the Jiucheng Palace, he was actually very reluctant to leave now. The most reluctant thing was probably the bed in the room ==

Li Congjia woke up, and the soldiers below were almost asleep. After breakfast, the group left Fengzhou.

After they left, Fengzhou also became a ruin. Zhao Kuangyin felt very sorry: "Fengzhou is still well built, and the site selection is also very good."

After staring at the billowing smoke for a while, Li Congjia said, "No matter how good it is, it belongs to the enemy."

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything else. He just thought it was a good place from a military point of view. If he started from his own point of view, then this place belongs to the enemy, and it would be no pity to destroy it.

Along the way, Li Congjia sent people to watch those Han slaves. Although he said they were slaves, he didn't actually ask them to do anything. At most, they helped move things, and because he didn't trust them very much, valuable and confidential items were still on the way. Will not let them move.

The result of the surveillance was that these Han people were very honest. However, Li Congjia and Zhao Kuangyin still did not relax. After camping, they secretly sent people to plant a thunder box about five miles away from them. Basically buried thunder box.

When Li Congjia fell asleep that night, he was always on guard, so when the thunder box exploded, he immediately opened his eyes, got up and got dressed, and when Zhao Kuangyin came over, he was already dressed, He asked, "How's it going?"

Zhao Kangyin was only surprised for a moment and said: "There are Khitan troops attacking the camp, and they came from the direction of Fengzhou."

Li Congjia smiled and said, "These people really didn't disappoint us. How is the situation now?"

Zhao Kuangyin said regretfully: "I don't know how many people there are, but some of them must have escaped."

Li Congjia rubbed his chin and said, "These people should follow us and look for a chance to sneak attack again. Well, don't take the lightning box yet, let everyone go to sleep. With the lightning box, they won't be able to make it through. Hey, I should have known before." Let’s just do it, and save everyone from worrying.”

Zhao Kuangyin said helplessly, "That's not how we use Thunder Box."

Li Congjia waved his hand, took off his flight, slipped back into bed, yawned and said, "Go back to sleep, it's really not easy to sleep peacefully now."

Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to turn around and go out to have the former Han slaves guarded. Of course, if you have the energy, you can interrogate it. It would be better if you can ask something. His own idea is to kill them directly, kill these people, and then deal with the pursuers, and then change their position. In the vast grassland, it is not so easy for the other party to find them.

As a result, the next morning, Li Congjia said before Zhao Kuangyin could speak after eating, "Those people don't need to be kept."

Zhao Kuangyin said with relief that although their family's Wang convulsion wanted to be beaten up, he was still reliable when he should be, and he didn't soften his heart where he shouldn't.

When Zhao Kuangyin came back, he saw Li Congjia circling a sheep.

Li Congjia looked up and saw Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Wait, let's have this sheep slaughtered. How about we have a whole roasted sheep tonight?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Congjia's eyes shining when he talked about the roasted whole lamb, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about, eating a roasted whole lamb feels like Chinese New Year."

Li Congjia straightened his face and said: "People are mortal, whether they are lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai. I don't know what kind of death I will be, but I am trying to make myself develop in the latter way."

Sima Qian's words are righteous and awe-inspiring. If people like Fan Zhi and Wang Pu heard this, they might praise Li Congjia, but when it comes to Zhao Kuangyin... I'm sorry, as a person with little integrity left, he doesn't accept this.

So he rolled his eyes at Li Congjia and said, "If you don't die, you are already in the latter category. On the contrary, if you confess on the grassland this time, you will be truly as light as a feather."

Li Congjia wrinkled his nose at him, did not speak, and continued to study his roasted whole lamb.

It was only at this time that Zhao Kuangyin recalled and asked, "Aren't we leaving?"

Li Congjia simply said, "Don't go."

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Why?"

"Isn't it good to just sit back and wait?" Li Congjia narrowed his eyes and said, "The team that came to attack us yesterday may come back today. How can we be worthy of them if we don't welcome them?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what was wrong with Li Congjia, but Li Congjia's reason was in Zhao Kuangyin's place, it might as well be that he wanted to eat roasted whole lamb.

Li Congjia didn't know that Zhao Kuangyin labeled him a foodie, and he was still thinking about whether he should make soup from the sheep bones and share some with the soldiers.

To be honest, a sheep doesn’t really have much food. Even if it is divided among everyone, it is estimated that each person can get a piece of meat. It is better to cook soup or porridge, at least to have a taste.

And Zhao Kuangyin didn't know until this time that Li Congjia could cook!

At least the roasted whole lamb he cooks is very authentic, the only fly in the ointment is that the lamb is not too tender.

Li Congjia said regretfully while gnawing his mouth full of oil: "The roasted whole lamb should be lamb, but unfortunately there is no one, so we can only make a living. When we go back, we... well, we won't be able to eat anything after we go back, and we don't need to eat it." Don’t worry about roasting whole lamb.”

Zhao Kuangyin swallowed a piece of mutton with difficulty and said: "You also know that you will have everything when you go back, so I can't figure out why you have to go this way."

Li Congjia couldn't say that he was doing it for Shi Xueting, so he could only say: "Actually, I don't know, but there is a voice in my heart that drives me to do this. I always feel that I missed it this time, and maybe there will be no such good opportunities in the future."

He felt that this answer was too perfunctory, and Zhao Kuangyin would probably complain about him again. Anyway, since the two of them came to Khitan's side... no, no, after the strong alliance, Zhao Kuangyin became more and more impolite when talking to him. .

What he didn't expect was that Zhao Kuangyin accepted this answer!

The ancients were more or less superstitious, and sometimes they had to admit that victory or defeat might just be a matter of a certain thought at that moment. Zhao Kuangyin has encountered this kind of thing many times, and has come to this day relying on his own intuition. So he believes.

Because of this, he also began to wonder what would happen if Li Congjia really succeeded.

In fact, I have to admit that if these three cities are really destroyed, Khitan will probably withdraw its troops from the Central Plains. After all, these three cities are Khitan’s southwest frontier defense. It is defenseless against some other nomads.

With their own territory under threat, Khitan should not insist on attacking the Central Plains.

However, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly remembered that Yelujing is a psychopath. Have you ever heard of an emperor who didn't like female sex and became extinct?Yelvjing is all right, anyway, until now, he has no children, not only a son, he doesn't even have a daughter!

Under such circumstances, whether Yelvjing would simply attack the Central Plains desperately, he dared not say.

However, it would be great if Yelujing's army dared to walk out of those cities, so that they could directly kill these Khitan troops. Years of wars in the South and North have made the Tang army very confident in their strength, even if they are invincible They all believe in it!

After Zhao Kuangyin expressed his concerns, Li Congjia said: "Do everything we can and obey the destiny. We will do what we can. If it doesn't work, we should find a way to deal with it. How can things go smoothly?"

Zhao Kuangyin was immediately relieved. He was also worried that Li Congjia had taken such a big risk, but in the end he was depressed because he didn't get the result he wanted. Naturally, it's best for him to think about it.

That night, both Li Congjia and Zhao Kuangyin were waiting for the Khitan army's sneak attack, but they couldn't wait all night.

Both Li Congjia and Zhao Kuangyin were very surprised. They waited for another night, but nothing happened. In the end, they had to dismantle the thunder box they could find with a blank face, and continued to go to Yunnei Prefecture after all. They can't stay here too long waiting for a sneak attack.

To their great surprise, the journey was very peaceful, no Khitan army came to pursue them, not even the scouts.

Li Congjia was a little puzzled: "Isn't it? Isn't it just a thunder box formation? This scares the Khitan people? If I had known, why would we still burn the city? Just send people to guard the city and plant thunder boxes outside. "

Zhao Kuangyin was also puzzled, but he still said, "Something must have happened to Khitan."

Li Congjia asked: "What will happen?"

Zhao Kuangyin was helpless: "I don't know, but it must be large enough to gather troops and dispatch troops, otherwise these people may not give up chasing us."

Li Congjia's heart tightened: "I said, you won't really let your crow's mouth say that the Khitans redeployed their troops to the Central Plains, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin stared: "What is my crow's mouth? This kind of thing would not happen if Yelujing was not crazy. At least how many people can we use to pursue our army? Is he really going to give up the southwestern frontier defense?"

After much deliberation, Li Congjia didn't come up with an answer. Instead, his brain hurt from thinking, and finally decided to go on his way first. Anyway, no matter what happens to Khitan, their route will not change, and it will not change, unless they Transfer back to Yanzhou immediately.

Ten days later, they finally crossed the Great Wall and reached a place not far from Yunnei Prefecture. Li Congjia sent scouts to investigate.

The scouts brought back an unbelievable piece of news: Yunnei Prefecture was completely deserted at this time, and even the soldiers patrolling outside were all dressed in filial piety.

The author has something to say: Li Congjia: Yelujing suddenly didn’t send anyone here, I’m a bit embarrassed, do you want to provoke me again?

Zhao Kuangyin: How do you want to provoke?

Li Congjia: Well, tell him, have you seen Dongshengzhou and Fengzhou?I won’t even give it to you if I burn it.

Zhao Kuangyin: Very good, I want to hit you after hearing this!
