Fu Tang

The hundreds of soldiers in the city were divided into three groups, one to open the door for the brothers outside the city, and the other to go to Zhizhou Prefecture, while Li Congjia led the team straight to the inn where Jiaofangshi lived.

The Jiaofang envoy was also envoy from the capital at any rate, and the defense measures of the entire station were several grades higher than those of the Zhizhou government.

Li Congjia was worried that he would screw up, but when he saw his subordinates rushing in like wolves and tigers, knocking down most of the guards, and the opponents had almost no power to fight back, he was immediately relieved, even He also drew out the long knife at his waist, eager to rush forward, but was held back by Shi Congyun.

The only role Shi Congyun was sent here was to protect Li Congjia. At first, he thought this task would not be difficult. After all, because everyone had no experience before, he basically thought about every aspect when planning. If you become a top martial arts master, then there will be no accidents.

As a result, Shi Congyun did not expect that the accident almost happened to Li Congjia!

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun, when the dust settles inside, it's not too late for us to go in!" Shi Congyun held Li Congjia tightly, fearing that if he couldn't see Li Congjia, he would rush in.

Fortunately, Li Congjia calmed down quickly. He found that fighting such a thing is really easy to get excited. If you are used to the blood on the ground and the scene of life dying at any time, it is actually easy to get excited.

Li Congjia took a deep breath of the bloody air, returned the long knife to the scabbard, and said calmly, "Master Cong Yun, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion."

He really can't be impulsive. After all, the value of force is not high. What he needs is the route of a wise general.

Shi Congyun looked skeptical, although he let go of Li Congjia, he still stood firmly by his side, preparing for Li Congjia to be able to hold him back at any time if he was impulsive.

Fortunately, until the end, Li Congjia didn't show any more enthusiasm, but just stood there quietly, waiting for the overall situation to be settled, and then walked into the post station with blood all over the floor.

At this time, the Jiaofang envoy no longer had the arrogance and arrogance of the past. Because he was caught in his sleep, his hair was disheveled and he looked very embarrassed.

The Jiaofang envoy was in shock, and when he saw Li Congjia, he screamed: "Li Yu, what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"

Li Congjia was particularly sorry that it was winter, and it was difficult to pretend to be X with a fan, so he had to play with the long knife in his hand and said, "The envoy is right, I really want to rebel."

The envoy of Jiaofang looked at him with a look of fear, and stammered: "You... It's useless if you arrest me, Zhizhou will definitely not let you go, and the defenders inside and outside the city will not let you go either! If you are acquainted , let me go quickly, maybe I can leave you with a whole body."

Li Congjia was about to say something when he heard Shi Congyun shouting beside him: "My lord, Zhizhou's family has been captured!"

After hearing this, Li Congjia smiled and said to Jiaofang envoy: "What? Are you still waiting for Zhizhou to rescue you?"

The envoy tremblingly asked, "Soldiers guarding the city..."

"Ah, because of the wine, meat and beauties you sent over, they don't have time to take care of you, right?" Li Congjia shrugged: "In my opinion, the Jiaofang Envoy should cooperate a little bit, maybe I will spare your life."

The Jiaofang envoy immediately said: "I know where Tian's family members are being imprisoned, you... I will tell you when you release them."

Li Congjia was very surprised: "Isn't the Tian family already taken to Daliang?"

The envoy of Jiaofang said anxiously: "Because Zhao Kuangyin wanted to make this case an iron case, so he directly questioned the crime in Jiangdu Mansion, and the saint approved it. After the Spring Sacrifice next year, he will be executed directly in Jiangdu Mansion!"

Li Congjia turned his head and glanced at Shi Congyun, Shi Congyun immediately understood and sent someone to rescue Tian's man.

The Jiaofang envoy added: "The women's family members, the women's family members are still there, I... I am in the same battalion as the Tian family, and I have never made things difficult for them. If you don't believe me, ask them!"

Li Congjia asked: "Does that mean the Tian family is still alive?"

The Jiaofang envoy hesitated for a moment and said, "A young lady who committed suicide died."

It was a pity for Li Congjia, but it was a surprise to be able to rescue the rest of the Tian family.

Seeing Li Congjia's very satisfied appearance, the Jiaofang envoy couldn't help but said, "You...can you let me go?"

Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "Let you go? Give up, let you go is impossible, but if you can say something else, it's not difficult to save your life."

After hearing this, the Jiaofang envoy was disappointed, but when he thought of saving his life, he still nodded desperately and said, "I say, I say, as long as I know, I will tell you."

Li Congjia didn't want to talk nonsense with him here, so he waved his hand and asked the Jiaofang envoy to be taken away, planning to ask again later.

After finishing here, Li Congjia turned around and prepared to meet Zhizhou.

When I saw Zhizhou, I found that although Zhizhou was in a mess, he didn't look flustered.It's just that Zhizhou was obviously very surprised when he saw Li Congjia.

"Who are you?" Zhizhou frowned and asked, "Why did you rebel?"

Li Congjia waved his hand and said, "There are thousands of reasons for rebellion. No matter what I say, you may not be able to accept it, so you don't have to ask me, and I don't need to say it."

You made a lot of sense, and I was really speechless——Zhizhou was so choked that he stared at Li Congjia bitterly for a long while, and then asked again: "I know your purpose of keeping me, but give up , no matter what you ask, I will not tell you!"

Li Congjia frowned. Although the Jiaofang envoy is of high rank, in terms of real power, the Zhizhou is much more important than the Jiaofang envoy, and he knows more. He had pretended to know more information about the state of Zhou from Zhizhou, but he did not expect Zhizhou to actually do not cooperate.

Li Congjia didn't speak. At this time, Chunsheng who was standing beside him stood up and said, "Lang Jun can ask you something, which means that you still have the value of living, so think clearly!"

Li Congjia silently gave Chunsheng a thumbs up in his heart, this kid is really clever.

Zhizhou raised his head: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"

Chunsheng glanced at Li Congjia's expression, but he didn't get any information, so he had to improvise: "Okay, he's a good guy, but you're not afraid of death, is it your wife and children who are not afraid of death?"

After Zhizhou heard this, his eyes immediately burned, and he looked like he was about to stand up and fight Chunsheng desperately: "You are not allowed to touch them!"

Chunsheng was taken aback, but after seeing his own people holding Zhizhou down, he sneered and said, "It's not about my husband, but about you!"

Zhizhou said viciously, "Everything is coming at me!"

What did Chunsheng want to say, but Li Congjia suddenly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since Zhizhou insists not to say anything, then let's just lock him up with his family."

Chunsheng was a little puzzled, he didn't know, although he did get Zhizhou's weakness just now, but such a method is really too base, if it spreads out, it will damage Li Congjia I's reputation.

Anyone under Li Congjia can do this kind of thing, but he can't!

Li Congjia originally hoped to find out about the military deployment of the Zhou army, but now it seems that it is not easy. As for the commanders who defend the city, they are low-level, and even if they are caught, they may not be able to ask anything.

After Li Congjia left Zhizhou Mansion, he returned to the mansion and sat in the main hall, waiting for news from Shi Xueting and the others.

He knew that at this time, he should sit in the main hall of Zhizhou Mansion.

It's just that Li Congjia didn't want to do this, and just wanted to wait here for those people to return safely.

As a result, before Shi Xueting came back, Li Congjia received the news: Zhizhou and Zhizhou's family all committed suicide, and the young babies among them all died in prison—killed by their parents.

Li Congjia was very surprised. After hearing this, he had no choice but to say: "Let's find a way to bury Zhizhou."

Shi Congyun moved his body, and Li Congjia saw that he was hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help asking: "Just say what you want to say."

Shi Congyun couldn't help but said: "Zhizhou is regarded as a loyal minister, this person should be buried with honor!"

Li Congjia closed his eyes and said: "He is loyal to Emperor Zhou, but he is too cruel to his wife and children! These people may not die willingly. Zhizhou can show his loyalty with his own life, but he should not decide The lives of others, especially those ignorant children, what do they understand? Before they could understand, they were killed by their relatives. If Zhizhou committed suicide by himself, I might still bury him generously and treat his family well. No worries about food and clothing."

After hearing this, Shi Congyun could only sigh and did not persuade him any more.

Li Congjia sat on the main seat, looking very calm, but he was extremely anxious, because until now there was no news from the west gate, how could he not be in a hurry?

The most important part of the whole plan is almost the siege operation outside the city. If they can't break through the city gate, no matter how well Li Congjia and the others do, they will probably be caught in the urn in the end.

Fortunately, the people outside were very reliable. It didn't take long before news came that the West City Gate was broken!

Li Congjia breathed a sigh of relief, but what he never expected was that at the same time, the North City Gate was also broken!

When Li Congjia got the news, he was very surprised. He didn't understand that the previous plan had always been to occupy the west gate first, and then Li Congjia sent people to cooperate in the city to take control of the entire Jiangdu Mansion.

His task here has been completed, but... how did the outsiders overfulfill?

Li Congjia couldn't figure this out, so he simply didn't think about it, and directly ordered the chef to prepare Yanyue-shaped wontons, um, dumplings, but these things were called differently in each dynasty. From Tang to now, it is such a complicated name.

What he thought was that if he succeeded, it would be New Year's Eve anyway. Although the time may have passed by the time he finished his work, he still had to have some fun.

The dumplings here were just right, and Shi Xueting and Tian Wuniang came over there hand in hand. When Li Congjia saw them, he was shocked.

Shi Xueting, who has always been ascetic and gentle, now holds a mace in his hand, as if he is the Ksitigarbha who came out of hell.

Not to mention Tian Wuniang, a little lady who was always dressed as a lady, but now she is moving closer to the bandits, with a machete in her hand.

Li Congjia watched them for a long time without reacting.

Shi Xueting threw the deformed weapon on the ground, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, finally lived up to your entrustment."

Li Congjia twitched his lips and said: "You two, if there is no urgent matter, why don't the mage and the lady of the Tian family go to take a bath and change clothes first. It won't be too late to report the details later."

Shi Xueting also felt very uncomfortable with blood and sweat all over his body, he nodded and said: "The poor monk will come as soon as he goes."

Tian Wuniang also silently bowed and retreated, and ran to take a bath.

After Shi Xueting was cleaned, he returned to his original appearance. Although he looked quite aloof, Li Congjia still found it pleasing to the eye.

Tian Wuniang... Tian Wuniang is a little better than before, but because she is wearing leather armor now, and because of the previous rush, she has a murderous look on her body, and she doesn't look like a little lady anymore.

After Shi Xueting sat down, he said, "Today's division of troops was my suggestion."

Li Congjia smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask you about this."

Shi Xueting explained: "It's like this. The strength of those guards is not good. They are beaten and retreated after almost a face-to-face meeting. If we press all the troops at the west gate, it is better to divide them!"

"Then why is it the North City Gate?" Li Congjia was a little puzzled. He gave up the more important East City Gate and chose the North City Gate?

Shi Xueting glanced at Tian Wuniang, and Tian Wuniang said simply: "The armory is there!"

Li Congjia was startled: "This...is it impossible? Isn't the armory usually located outside the city?"

Tian Wuniang explained: "Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why he put the armory in the city."

Zhao Kuangyin put the armory in the city?

What is he guarding against?After all, this arrangement has no other meaning except for the convenience of the guards in the city to access weapons.

Li Congjia didn't understand it for a long time, but the other party must have a reason for doing so. After all, in terms of military quality, Zhao Kuangyin can probably outshine him by ten blocks.

Unable to understand the reason for this incident, Li Congjia was always uneasy in his heart, but it was hard to say it out. After all, it was just an intuition, so he could only keep it in his heart.

Anyway, it's a good thing. Li Congjia and the others are very short of weapons. He immediately said: "Send heavy troops to guard the armory! Without my warrant, no one is allowed to enter at will!"

After making arrangements, Li Congjia looked at Tian Wuniang with a smile and said, "I just got the news that your family members are still alive."

Tian Wuniang was very excited immediately: "Father, mother... where are they?"

Li Congjia raised his hand and pressed down and said, "Calm down, I have already sent someone to pick them up, but they are placed in a prison outside the city, and I am afraid they will not come back until tomorrow."

Tian Wuniang breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Congjia felt sorry for Zhizhou's death. Tian Wuniang said: "Zhizhou is basically a vegetarian meal in a corpse. He doesn't know as much as my father. Don't worry about Li Langjun."

Li Congjia thought about it, but he also hesitated: "To Zhou Guo, I am just a traitor. I am afraid that your father will not be willing to cooperate."

Tian Wuniang raised her head: "I will persuade him, Zhou Guo is either incompetent or incompetent from top to bottom, or formed a party for personal gain. What is there to keep?"

Li Congjia felt a little pain in his knee after hearing this.

Zhou Guo is worthless in Tian Wuniang's mouth, but he is the one who has the most hope of winning the Central Plains in this troubled world.

Southern Tang...Although the Southern Tang Dynasty looks prosperous, it is in decline. Li Congjia thought of this, and the good mood that he had just won Jiangdu Mansion was almost gone.

Fortunately, Shi Qingsong and Shi Yanlie brought back good news. The four city gates have been captured, most of the city guards have been captured, and the flags on the gates have changed from Zhou Ziqi and Zhao Ziqi to Tang characters Flag and Li Ziqi.

Li Congjia became happy again, and invited the monks to eat dumplings with Tian Wuniang. At the same time, he also learned about the outstanding figures in this battle, and planned to promote them.

However, Li Congjia also has selfish intentions, and Tian Wuniang's meritorious service should be stricter, and he has to learn more about them before he can reuse them.

By the time they finished eating the dumplings, it was already bright.

After eating, several people were very tired, and they went to rest after explaining to each other. At this time, the people of Jiangdu Prefecture, who had been terrified all night, were paying attention to the changes in the city.

At first, everyone was very worried that the rebels would come to burn, kill and loot, but they didn't expect that apart from the sound of beating and killing outside, their home was actually very safe that night.

Li Congjia's death order still had an effect after all, but it also benefited from the fact that most of his subordinates were obedient slaves, and Tian Wu's family's well-trained trilogy, so it was natural to be able to enforce orders.

After the people of Jiangdu Prefecture saw the Tang character flag flying on the city wall, many old people fell to the ground with tears in their eyes. They really thought that their homeland had come to save them.

Li Congjia heard the news after getting up early in the morning, and was very emotional. It seems that there are still many people in this place who are interested in Nantang, which shows that people's hearts are available!

At least he didn't have to worry about the resistance from the common people when deploying the defense of the entire Jiangdu Prefecture.

Of course, the necessary sorting is still to be done. Jiangdu Mansion has been occupied for so long, there must be a lot of Zhou people.

After dinner in the morning, Li Congjia directly drew up many promotion plans, and these systems were modeled after the Southern Tang Dynasty.After finishing these, Tian Tongpan was also rescued.

After he came back, he thought that he would face a Jiangdu Mansion that was completely changed, but he didn't expect that Jiangdu Mansion was no different from usual except that all the streets were guarded by heavy soldiers and looked more solemn.

Li Congjia received Tian Tongsan at his mansion. He was still thinking about what position he would give Tian Tongsan. If he could have real power, he would not be kicked down after Jiangdu Mansion returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

In the end, Tian Tong did not expect that the first thing Tian Tong said when he met Li Congjia was: "Li Langjun wants to rule the roost in this troubled world?"

Li Congjia raised his eyebrows: "Why do you see that?"

Tian Tongpan smiled wryly: "To win Jiangdu Mansion so quickly, even if Zhao Kuangyin is not there, it is enough to show that Li Langjun is fully prepared."

Li Congjia coughed lightly: "It's true."

Tian Tong judged sternly: "Heroes come out of troubled times, and Li Langjun is definitely not something in the pool. If he wants to make contributions in troubled times, Li Langjun's banner of the Southern Tang Dynasty now seems a bit small. The banner of the Southern Tang Dynasty is not only It can't pose any threat to Da Zhou, but it will anger Da Zhou."

Li Congjia smiled and said, "I led troops to take down Jiangdu Mansion, do you think Da Zhou won't be angered?"

Tian Tongpan shook his head: "The meaning is different."

This is true, just as Li Congjia was about to say something, he saw Chunsheng ran in and said, "Lang Jun, Shi Xingyi is leading his disciples, blocking the door to see you."

Li Congjia thumped in his heart, it's broken, how could he forget this old man?As a student of Confucianism, Shi Xingyi probably couldn't stand betrayal, after all, it was against the way of a gentleman.

Think about the apprentice Li Minglang who was praised by Shi Xingyi before - plagiarism, and later wanted to be accepted as an apprentice, Li Congjia who was praised by others before and after - a big traitor, looking at Shishanchang in this way is another sense of misfortune. Shu.

Li Congjia asked Shi Xingyi to come in immediately, Tian Tongpan's expression was not good: "I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved. Hey, if Master Shishan despises you more, I'm afraid it will be bad for you in the future."

As soon as Tian Tongpan finished speaking, Li Congjia saw Shi Congyun come in hurriedly, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, I just heard from the scouts that a large number of Tang troops came from the south and are stationed in Changzhou! "

Li Congjia was taken aback for a moment, did this mean Nan Tang wanted to fight back?

He immediately asked, "Do you know who is leading the army?"

Shi Congyun said: "The one that came out is Li Ziqi."

Li Congjia knew it was Li Hongji without even thinking about it. After all, he was the one whose surname was Li who could still lead troops today.

Damn, why didn't you come early, you little shit, Li Congjia wouldn't have to do it himself if he came one day earlier!

The most important thing is that this identity may not be concealed anymore!

Li Congjia thought about it, and asked someone to invite Shi Xingyi and the others in. Although the main hall of the mansion was very large, with the monks and Tian's father and daughter, it seemed very crowded with so many people sitting at once.

As soon as Shi Xing came in, he looked at Li Congjia's eyes with fire, but he maintained his identity and didn't scold him on the spot, but said coldly: "Li Yu has a good mind and good means, you are not afraid of setting the country and leading the army. Come back to attack you?"

Li Congjia smiled and said, "Since I dare to do it, I am not afraid."

Shi Xingyi was even more annoyed: "Why did you do this? Could it be that you became a Tian family?"

Tian Tongpan, who was hung on the wall and received all the attention, was very uncomfortable. He glanced at Li Congjia and thought it was not the reason.

Li Congjia didn't answer but asked: "I think everyone has seen the banners erected on the city wall today. There are some things that I can't say because of special reasons. Today I finally have the opportunity to tell you."

He paused here, and continued to speak: "Actually, my real identity is King Zheng of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Congjia!"

Tian's father and daughter, teacher Xingyi:? ? ? ? ? ?
