Fu Song

Chapter 450
Liu Fengkui is an extremely conflicted person.

On the one hand, he considers himself a loyal minister of the imperial court, and has no second thoughts about officials.

So when he was on Guizhou Road, he knew that he was the target of public criticism, and knew that he could not hide his actions from others, but he was still conscientious. If he wanted to do everything possible, he had to figure out some situations on Guizhou Road and then report it to the public.

He worked hard on the Guizhou Road to develop the influence of the Imperial City Division, not to mention, there were some results, and some things were even concealed from the Zhiqiu Yuan of the Statistics Division.

This alone made Wu Ke admire him very much.

Sure enough, he is an old man in this industry, and he has many unique things, which are worth studying and learning.

But on the other hand, he has also witnessed how Guizhou Road has developed step by step from an extremely impoverished place in the past few years. Slowly, the family became rich.

Today, in Guizhou, a place with seven mountains, two rivers and one field, the price of rice is actually a little lower than that of Bianliang, which is quite remarkable.

You know, Bianliang is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and the whole world is trying its best to supply supplies there, and the price of food there is the lowest in the world, and the Guizhou Road can do this, the difficulty is not A star and a half.

But Xiao Cheng just did it.

Moreover, Xiao Cheng also raised tens of thousands of troops.

These tens of thousands of troops are also the place where Liu Fengkui treats Xiao Cheng the most.

From other perspectives, Xiao Cheng is definitely a loyal minister that is hard to find in the world. He governed the region, educated the barbarians, and developed the economy, extending the tentacles of Song Dynasty's rule all the way to places that had never been touched before.

Right now, Guizhou Road can truly be regarded as the territory of the Song Dynasty.

But from the point of view of controlling the army, Xiao Cheng is definitely a double-minded person.

Now there are more than seven armies on Guizhou Road, with a total number of nearly [-] people, but they only have Xiao Futai in their eyes and never know what the imperial court is.

Thirty thousand tigers!
Liu Fengkui is not an ordinary eunuch. Although he has been engaged in intelligence for half his life, he also knows the army.

He knew the difference between the army and the army.

He also spent a lot of time in the Northwest.

The [-] troops under Xiao Cheng's command will definitely not lose to the Guangrui Army back then in terms of elite level.

With such an army in hand, and in control of this huge piece of land in the southwest, do you think the imperial court can't be suspicious of him?

The information that Liu Fengkui sent to Bianliang, who was entangled, became entangled just like him.Sometimes it is Xiao Cheng's bad deeds that are sent, and sometimes they are speaking for Xiao Cheng.

Up to now, Liu Fengkui himself is a little confused about what kind of position Liu Fengkui takes.

Sometimes Liu Fengkui is also in great pain, wishing he could be just like that idiot Hu Yi, Hu Yi just identified a path and went all the way to the dark.

From the beginning I thought Xiao Cheng was not a good person, and I still haven't changed my original intention until now.Spare no effort to fight against Xiao Cheng.

If he opposes what Xiao Cheng vigorously advocates, he will destroy it, and if he opposes with all his strength, he will greatly appreciate it.

Although I have been defeated and humiliated again and again, I still enjoy it.

It seemed that this had become an indispensable thing in his life.

This time Liu Fengkui came to Dali and had nothing to do with Bianliang at all.

It is impossible for Bianliang to support Gao Yingde's attempt to usurp the throne and rebel.This involves a question of the legitimacy of the succession of the throne.If Bianliang recognized Gao Yingde's legitimacy, wouldn't it be reasonable for others to usurp the Zhao family's power one day?
So this time Liu Fengkui came to Dali entirely because of Xiao Cheng's entrustment.

His purpose is to convince Gao Yingde that Bianliang supports him.Even if you do it boldly, if you succeed, as long as you cooperate with Bianliang to take Xiao Cheng down, Bianliang will definitely admit him.

This is a reassurance for Gao Yingde.

If Gao Yingde succeeded in gaining Bianliang's support, then many domestic opposition forces would also subside.

Liu Fengkui went all the way to Dali.

In his capacity, it was easy to meet Gao Yingde.

Then, the speed of Gao Yingde's rebellion process was greatly accelerated immediately.

As everyone knows, every time Gao Yingde takes a step forward, he takes a step into the abyss of hell.

"Ambassador Liu, Fu Tai asked me to bring the letter, and thank you for your hard work." Wu Ke walked over with a smile on her face, picked up the wine pot on the ground without any notice, and took a big gulp from the spout.

Liu Fengkui glanced at the other party, but only rolled his eyes.

In the past few years, he and this guy in front of him have fought wits and bravery, fought and cooperated, and the two sides are very clear about how much each other has.
"Today, Gao Xiangguo launched a killing spree." Wu Ke said: "Grand Master Dong fled from Shanchan Mansion, Gao Xiangguo was furious, and sent Dong's family to prison. Today, he was killed in the execution ground. The entire Shanchan Mansion was silent. Ambassador Liu, That's Mrs. Dong!"

Liu Fengkui sighed, looked at Wu Ke and said, "Director Wu, ever since Xiao Futai moved his mind to annex Dali, tens of thousands of people have died."

Wu Ke sneered: "Ambassador Liu, have we ever killed someone?"

Liu Fengkui stared at Wu Ke, "I won't kill Boren, Boren died because of me. There is nothing wrong in this world, but because of Xiao Futai, things will happen. Gao Yingde governs Dali with smooth weather, although he is domineering, But he is still diligent and loyal, since he was tricked by Xiao Futai, he has been running on the road of rebellion all the way and can't look back."

"If you don't have this ghost in your heart, no matter how others provoke you, you won't go this way!" Wu Ke said with a smile: "Ambassador Liu, look at how many people have persuaded Xiao Futai to set up his own family in the past few years, and have a relationship with the uncle of the Xiao family. One south and one north, the two echo each other, creating a big country for the Xiao family, but has Futai ever thought about it?"

"But those people were not punished!" Liu Fengkui said in a muffled voice.

Wu Ke laughed out loud.

"Next, what is Futai going to do?" Liu Fengkui finally asked.

"Gao Xiangguo has gone mad. In the past few days, the Shanchan Mansion has killed nearly a thousand people." Wu Ke said: "It is estimated that soon, he will force the emperor to abdicate, and he will sit in that position."

"Grandmaster Dong is in Weichu Mansion, I'm afraid he will raise his troops soon!" Liu Fengkui said, "Given Grand Master Dong has a wide range of contacts, Tengchong Mansion, Nongdong Mansion, and Lanxi County may all respond."

"That's why Gao Xiangguo will be the first to ascend the throne first. Futai estimates that most of it is done in a way of forcing the emperor to take the throne, so as to gain more nominal legitimacy."

Liu Fengkui nodded. "Gao Yingde still has tricks. Once he can stabilize the situation after he ascends the throne, maybe he can really make a splash! Now, half of the eight prefectures, four counties and four towns in Dali support him."

"The other half are against him!" Wu Ke said: "Ambassador, there is one thing that only you can do, because now, only you can enter the palace after his rebellion."

"What do you want me to do?" Liu Fengkui asked.

Wu Ke smiled and clapped his hands, and several servants came in carrying a box.

"What is this?" Liu Fengkui asked.

Without saying a word, Wu Ke opened the box, took out something from inside, and placed it in front of Liu Fengkui.

Looking at the thing in front of him, Liu Fengkui was stunned.

But as Wu Ke put all the same things in front of him, he was finally moved.

"This is?"

"Strong crossbow, its power is comparable to that of the eight-ox crossbow." Wu Ke said solemnly: "After several years of experimentation among military weapons, it finally succeeded. Ambassador, you also know that in the past, heavy weapons such as the eight-ox crossbow , because it is too bulky and difficult to carry, it is generally only used as a defensive weapon, and it is too inconvenient to use it as an offensive weapon. But now..."

"Can these be assembled to become an existence comparable to the Eight Bulls Crossbow?" Liu Fengkui tremblingly asked.

Wu Ke waved his hand, and the servants who had just entered immediately began to assemble the parts one by one swiftly.

A quarter of an hour later, a crossbow machine appeared in front of Liu Fengkui.

A man held a crutch-like thing, which became a protruding part of the crossbow machine, and turned it vigorously. As he turned, the crossbow string stretched apart.

As the man's movements became slower and slower, and his face became more and more red, it was obvious that he had exerted himself to the extreme.

With the sound of a slight click, the man finally stopped, and then another man put an arrow about one meter long on it.

Handing a small hammer to Liu Fengkui, Wu Ke gestured with a smile.

Liu Fengkui looked at the thick trees in the direction pointed by the arrow, and suddenly hit the small iron hammer on the machine with great force.

With a buzzing sound, the arrow flew out at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, and when it reappeared the next moment, a big hole had been cut in the middle of a big tree on the opposite side. With a bang, it was nailed to the big tree the next moment, and then it stopped.

"The shooting range is [-] steps, which is much worse than that of the Ba Niu Crossbow!" Wu Ke said, smacking his lips.

"It's already amazing!" Liu Fengkui's eyes straightened, "The key is that he winds the string extremely fast! Much faster than the eight-ox crossbow. When fighting the Liao soldiers, use this crossbow as the first wave. The arm crossbow is the second wave, and the enemy bow is the third wave. The Liao army will be defeated! In the past, we always suffered in field battles, but the long-range weapons were quite insufficient. Although the magic arm bow is powerful, its range is too short. Against the Liao army, after one arrow, the enemy cavalry is approaching, and if you want to shoot a second arrow, you have to pay the blood price of the infantry in order to buy them more time."

Seeing Liu Fengkui's gaze, Wu Ke spread his hands and said, "Ambassador Liu, this thing is too expensive to make. At present, such a thing is worth nearly [-] guan, and the imperial court cannot afford it."

"Can't you dedicate the drawings to the court?"

Wu Ke snorted coldly: "Ambassador, can you make sure that we don't let the Liao people get rid of this thing when we give it to the imperial court?"

Liu Fengkui was silent for a moment.

"When Gao Yingde ascended the throne, he would definitely choose the Guangming Hall. One hundred and fifty steps away from the Guangming Hall is the Baohe Building. On the top of the Baohe Building, install two such crossbows." Wu Ke said with a smile: "Gao Ying The highest point of De's life is also the day of his fall."

Liu Fengkui took a deep breath.

"Ambassador Liu, you bring your things and people in, and leave the rest to them." Wu Ke pointed to the men who were dismantling the crossbow.

"When they go, I'm afraid they will never return." Liu Fengkui said, "No matter if they win or not, there is no possibility of them surviving."

"It's been arranged a long time ago!" Wu Ke said, "They're not planning to come back either."

"Once Gao Yingde dies, the Shanchan Mansion will be in chaos." Liu Fengkui said slowly, "The Gao clan will definitely retaliate wildly. I don't know how many people will suffer!"

"The chaos is right!" Wu Ke said coldly: "Once Gao Yingde dies, Gao Yingxiang will not be able to return in Liupanshui, and the Gao clan will have no leader. Once Dali, the political center, cannot be controlled, the whole Dali will be considered chaotic. People like Dong Taishi, How could such an opportunity be missed? And those civil servants and generals who were originally attached to Gao Yingde, at this time, I am afraid that they will also be at a loss, they will either find another backer, or start their own stoves."

"Once Grand Master Dong returns to the Shanchan mansion, I'm afraid he will start killing and avenge the Gao family's extermination." Liu Fengkui said: "The Gao family must also end up being exterminated by the family. But Gao Yingxiang is still outside Jun, this blood feud cannot be resolved."

Wu Keti slipped up the jug and took a leisurely sip.

"After the great chaos, there will be great order. It's just that we will be the ones to clean up the mess. For the people of Dali, it is a blessing! Even though many people died this time, most of them were those who died. A rich and noble family, Futai is already thinking about the future with all its might."

Liu Fengkui reached out and snatched the jug back from Wu Ke, took a sip, and said, "Look at Futai's behavior in Weining, is this the next step to take advantage of Gao Yingxiang's rhythm?"

"Of course!" Wu Ke said with a smile: "When the time comes, we will go to Dali to set things right. There should be pawns, and some people who should be killed. It is much better for Gao Yingxiang to kill them than us. Gao Yingxiang kills them, it is justified! "

Liu Fengkui got up and walked towards the house.

"I know, I won't keep you, please go ahead!"

Wu Ke looked at Liu Fengkui's back and said loudly, "Ambassador Liu, do you know how Futai evaluates you?"

Liu Fengkui turned around and looked at Wu Ke.

"Futai said that although Liu Fengkui has no eggs, he is more like a man than most guys in the world who have eggs!" Wu Ke said. "Wu has always respected the ambassador, and that's why. Ambassador, join us. In the future, we will make the Song Dynasty shine, destroy the Liao Kingdom, and rule the world."

Liu Fengkui's face was extremely bright, and after a while, he turned around and strode away.

After yelling this sentence, Wu Ke also laughed a few times, turned around and left in a hurry.

Three days later, the Great Court Meeting.

Dali Yushitai Yushi Shenghong wrote a letter, asking the emperor to make a living for the people of the world, follow the example of Yu and Shun, and Zen is based on virtue.
