A knife in love

Chapter 2015
When Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Qi Jiu heard what Feng Wei said, their hearts trembled, and they thought to themselves that it was rare for this old Mr. Feng to talk about it for a long time, and finally turned around again.The three of them looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

I only heard Feng Wei continue to say: "According to Master Zhao Liangsi's guess, Marquis Zhuge Wu left at least two array maps, one of which was dedicated to the empress Liu Chan. But Liu Chan didn't take this array map to heart at all. , I’m afraid I didn’t even look at it, so I threw the formation map in the study, and no one paid attention to it. Later, the Wei army invaded Shuzhong, and Liu Chan surrendered. After the Wei army entered Chengdu, among the descendants of the former master, there were many who did not want to surrender. Heroic men escaped while the city was in chaos. The map obtained by General Cao Bin was probably taken away by these people when they escaped from Chengdu.

"Although Liu Chan surrendered, the general Jiang Wei did not want to destroy the foundation that Liu Bei and Zhuge Wuhou worked so hard to build. Therefore, after he arrived in Chengdu, he pretended to surrender and secretly encouraged the Wei State to attack Shu. The general Zhong Hui and Deng Ai turned against each other. He wanted the two to fight each other, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman. Later, Zhong Hui and Deng Ai got into trouble, and the two attacked each other, and Chengdu was in chaos. Jiang Wei was about to raise an army anyway, but suddenly fell ill, fell short, and finally died in the hands of Wei Jun , The array map he collected disappeared. Jiang Wei was busy provoking Zhong Hui to fight Deng Ai, so naturally he couldn't take the array map with him. Therefore, after his death, the array map is still hidden in his house. However, it did not fall into the hands of the Wei army. Hundreds of years later, Wang Jian proclaimed himself emperor in the middle of Shu, and his country name was Shu. This man was born in a pastry seller, was greedy and stingy, and searched the land of Shu for thousands of miles. According to Zhao Lord Liangsi speculated that Jiang Wei's formation map was also taken into the palace by him. However, the Lord of Shu is a businessman, and his ministers and generals are not much better, so naturally they don't know how powerful this formation plan is. After entering the palace, just like when Liu Chan was in power, no one opened the map at all.

"After Li Cunxu destroyed the Liang Kingdom, he originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Northern Expedition to destroy Khitan in one fell swoop. However, the Shu Kingdom was still in Xichuan, which became a heart problem for Li Cunxu. Therefore, before conquering Khitan, Li Cunxu sent a large army to the west. They arrived in Chengdu. Wang Jian's son, Wang Yan, was a well-known faint king. In addition to drinking for fun, he usually fought cockfights with eunuchs, ministers, and generals, so he was nicknamed the "cockfighting emperor". Li Cunxu's army arrived After Chengdu, Wang Yan was so frightened that he had no intention of resisting at all, and went out of the city to surrender like Liu Chan back then. Li Cunxu ordered the Tang army commander who led the army to attack Shu to take Wang Yan's family away from Shu, and killed them all on the way. All the gold and silver treasures, books and regulations in the palace were moved back to the Central Plains. In this way, the formation map placed in the palace of Shu also fell into the hands of Li Cunxu.

"Although Li Cunxu is brave, his ability to lead troops to fight is innate, not learned from military books and strategies. Moreover, he is afraid that he can't read a lot of big characters, even if he sees the formation map, he doesn't know what it is After the gold, silver and jewelry arrived, Li Cunxu kept most of them in the palace, and rewarded all the rest to the heroes and veterans. As for the documents and books, although they were all kept in the palace, Li Cunxu would never even look at them.”

When Feng Wei said this, he suddenly heard Wang Xiaoyu say: "I don't know if there are martial arts secrets hidden in these documents and classics. I heard that there are many martial arts masterpieces that are rare in the world. Li Cunxu Damn the idiot, he missed the golden opportunity to become a great master of martial arts."

Feng Wei ignored her, and said to himself: "Li Cunxu destroyed Liang and Shu, and he no longer had to worry about the future, so he mobilized his troops and planned to attack Khitan in the north. It's just that he was surrounded by a group of small people at this time. Drinking and having fun on a daily basis has long lost the enterprising spirit of dominating the world in the past. Moreover, all his ministers and generals are in high positions and rich in wealth. Who still wants to lead troops to fight on horseback? Therefore, when they heard that Li Cunxu was going to start the Northern Expedition, these ministers and generals all had sad faces and pushed back and forth. They all said that they had been fighting for many years and suffered from serious diseases, so they asked the emperor to select another general to lead the troops After arriving, these people bribed the Qin Tianjian and the eunuchs in the palace, saying nonsense that Venus violated Ziyuan, which was a bad omen, and the Emperor of Heaven used this as a signal not to use weapons without authorization.

"Li Cunxu played with the actors in the palace every day, indulging in the gentleness of the country, and didn't want to bother to go on an expedition. After seeing the memorial sent by Qin Tianjian, he hesitated in his heart. At this time, an actor praised him and said, In the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven, barbarian clowns like Khitan will surely be condemned by God within a few years, and they will fend for themselves. Why is there a need for the Son of Heaven to conquest? Li Cunxu believed it was true, and put away his heart for the Northern Expedition. After the ministers heard the news, they relaxed With a sigh of relief, it was the Liao Emperor Yelu Deguang who was more relieved.

"It turned out that Yelu Deguang was worried that Li Cunxu would lead the army to the north, and he was very worried. And from time to time spies came to report that Yelubei had recruited troops and bought horses in Dongdan, and he had the heart of disobedience. If he didn't send an army as soon as possible to wipe them out, he would just I am afraid that raising a tiger will cause harm, and there will be endless troubles. In fact, Yelu Deguang didn't want to destroy Yelube immediately, but Li Cunxu was watching. Once he went to war with Yelube, Li Cunxu would definitely take the opportunity to go north. At that time, he was flanked by Li Cunxu and Yelube. The entire army must be wiped out. Therefore, he knew that Yelubei was a serious problem, but he had no time to fight against it.

"Yelu Deguang was afraid of Li Cunxu's Northern Expedition, so he sent many spies all over the Central Plains to inquire about the news. After the news of Li Cunxu's abandonment of the Northern Expedition reached the capital of Liao Kingdom, Yelu Deguang was overjoyed, and his heart was finally released day and night. After discussing with Shuluping, he decided to take advantage of Li Cunxu's suspension of his northward advance, dispatch troops and generals, and march eastward to Yelubei.

"Over the years, Yelubei has worked hard in Dongdan Kingdom, and every penny of taxes collected has been used to recruit soldiers and horses, to purchase food, grass and military equipment. He only hopes to return to the capital as soon as possible, destroy Yelu Deguang, and do it himself. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom. It’s just that the Dongdan Kingdom is too barren. Yelubei even tried his best to feed him. He only recruited more than ten thousand soldiers, only a thousand horses, and a lot of knives and guns. As for food and grass It is far from enough. If a large army goes out to fight, I am afraid that it will not be able to last for half a month. Before the battle with Yelu Deguang's soldiers and horses, I will not have enough food and grass in my hands. Although he knew that Yelu Deguang tried his best to guard against Li Cunxu, he did not dare to lead these ten thousand people to attack the capital of the Liao Kingdom. He is a man who is proficient in the art of war. He knows that the enemy is strong and weak, so he can only hold on for the time being. He is looking forward to the opportunity , is to wait for Li Cunxu to lead the army to attack Yelu Deguang. Although Yelu Deguang can be regarded as an emperor on horseback, but in terms of the ability to march and fight, he is far behind Li Cunxu. He will definitely lead the soldiers of the whole country of Daliao to resist. And even if Yelu Deguang comes out in full force, he will definitely not be Li Cunxu's opponent. He must be defeated. Whether Yelu Deguang dies in battle or flees in embarrassment, stand up by himself Raise your arms, and the people of the Liao Kingdom will definitely stand by your side. When the time comes, you can organize your troops, first defeat Li Cunxu, and then attack Yelu Deguang, and the big thing will be accomplished!"
