retaliate

Chapter 207 Pei Jiu goes to Huangquan, and the horned dragon enters the market

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Beiliao was the great enemy.During the reign of Emperor Wu, the Northern Liao Dynasty even invaded with a large army, and the soldiers approached the city.For a time, the idea of ​​destroying the country rose in the hearts of every soldier and civilian of Datang.

Fortunately, Datang has an army that survived the war.

It was this army that deterred Beiliao, and the subsequent counterattacks caused heavy casualties in Beiliao, and the situation between the two countries was balanced again.

But the grassland is vast, and there is always a continuous supply of warriors, cattle, sheep and horses for Beiliao.Beiliao is recovering quickly.

In the past, northern Xinjiang was a gilded land for the rich and powerful. They came to northern Xinjiang, wearing armor and sabers, reciting poems and painting, and praising the scenery of the northern country.Afterwards, she returned to Chang'an with the reputation of defending the country's borders, got a promotion and a salary increase, and married Bai Fumei.

Then there was a long-planned attack by the Northern Liao Dynasty. The northern border was full of wars, and six cities fell in three days.For a time, Northern Xinjiang was shaken, and Datang was shaken.

A steady stream of reinforcements from the pass rushed to the north, and the war turned into a protracted war.

Datang used national power, money and grain to grind the war until late autumn.

When the first snowflakes fell, the then Emperor of Beiliao, He Lianfeng's father, couldn't help sighing, looking at the dilapidated city walls of Tao County, he said, "Give me another five days, and Tao County will be destroyed."

A snowstorm saved Tao County and Beijiang.

Since then, northern Xinjiang has become a forbidden area for the children of the rich and powerful, who don't come here if they have nothing to do, and don't come if they have something to do.

At that time, money, food, armor, weapons, soldiers... all good things were sent to the northern border.

After the death of the Northern Liao emperor, Helianfeng's new emperor ascended the throne, faced with a series of internal problems, and relaxed the pressure on Northern Xinjiang.Datang breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Mi led people into the palace, Emperor Wu abdicated and Li Yuan ascended the throne.Then Datang's attitude towards Northern Xinjiang changed.

Suspicion became a common occurrence for emperors.

The money and food were reduced, and the armor was reduced, and the good ones were not given, and all the good ones were given to Nanjiang.However, what Southern Xinjiang faced back then was just the docile Southern Zhou Dynasty. There has been no war between the two countries for decades.

The soldiers in Beijiang felt aggrieved and dissatisfied. Some even pointed out sharply: "Pei Gong is Emperor Wu's favorite general. The new emperor and his son forced Emperor Wu to abdicate, but they were afraid of Pei Gong's action, so they took Beijiang as an enemy to guard against."

Pei Shao was the general in charge of Northern Xinjiang at that time, and he was the Emperor Wu's favorite general.

Northern Xinjiang was suspected, and many people speculated that Pei Shao would rise violently, and the cloud of civil war was hanging over the Tang Dynasty.Getting old and precarious, a handwritten letter from Emperor Wu spread to northern Xinjiang.

——Kuro, come back, I have prepared fine wine for you.

Pei Shao saw the handwriting, and one person and one rider crossed the entire north and rushed into Chang'an City.

Hearing that Pei Shao was coming, Emperor Wu ordered him to enter the palace and ordered the palace staff to prepare wine.

Two glasses of wine, the former monarchs and ministers drank each other.

Emperor Wu: "How about the northern border?"

Pei Shao: "Northern border soldiers are waiting for death."

Emperor Wu smiled, "Datang's swords and guns will only be aimed at other than Datang."

Pei Shao nodded, "Yes."

Emperor Wu drank and looked at him, "Alive."

Pei Shao nodded, "Yes."

That night, Emperor Wu died.

Li Yuan and his son, who had long been unable to hold back, made people impeach Pei Shao, and then Wang Shou rushed into Pei's house with the stakes of the mirror.

A pair of scarred armor stood in the lobby, like a general standing there, facing the imperial city.A piece of paper was pasted on the armor, which read: Pei Jiu is here.

There is no one in Pei's house, only the empty lobby mocking the incompetence of the mirror stage.

Pei Shao is outside the imperial city.

Just as the bell rang in the imperial city, which represented the death of the emperor, Pei Shao knelt in front of the imperial city and pulled out the horizontal knife.

Pei Shao is unparalleled in bravery, even if there is only one person, the soldiers defending the city are still facing a formidable enemy.Hundreds of people stood in front of the imperial city.

Li Mi was a heroic warrior at that time, and he led his subordinates to climb the walls of the palace city, looked at Pei Shao gloomily, and shouted: "Pei Shao, do you want to plot rebellion?"

Pei Shao didn't look at him, but just looked down at Hengdao.

The horizontal saber was bestowed by Emperor Wu, and Pei Shao has held it for many years.

He raised his head and asked, "Does Emperor Wu have anything to say?"

Li Mi sneered.

Pei Shao got up and swung his knife.

The light of the knife poured down like a river of stars, and flashed like lightning, and then hit the city wall.

On the battlements, the rammed earth exploded in all directions, and there were constant howls around Li Mi.

In an instant, there were only two people around Li Mi, their faces pale.

"Pei Jiu is amazing, be careful, Your Majesty." The expert next to Li Mi reluctantly said a word, and then vomited blood.

Li Mi smiled, "Emperor Wu died, and before he left, he said that the Tang Dynasty will be in its prime."

Pei Shao suddenly smiled wryly, "You are good at power and tactics, and you have used your wrists to control Chang'an for many years. The old man once told Emperor Wu that this son is not a fish in a pond, but he does not look like an emperor, but looks like an old official with excellent wrists. With a noble status, it is a bit more dangerous. The Emperor Wu is as decisive as a man, but he is more kind to your family, but unexpectedly, he was backlashed."

There was murderous intent in Li Mi's eyes.

"This old man wanted to enter the palace."

Li Mi couldn't help sneering.

No matter how high a person's cultivation base is, he can't resist the siege of an army.

There were heavy footsteps.

Thirty sergeants in heavy armor appeared.

The heavy armor made every step extremely heavy, but these sergeants walked lightly.

"This is Pei Jiu's Thirty Iron Guards!"

Pei Shao's thirty iron guards were all of extraordinary cultivation, wearing thick armor, invulnerable to swords.Pei Shao even searched the world for them and found the horses and horses.Thirty riders rushed into the formation, and those who blocked them were invincible.Even Beiliao was afraid.

Li Bi shouted: "Coax him first!"

He smiled towards the city: "Does General Pei want to pay homage to His Majesty?"

Pei Shao was silent.

Get up and take a step forward.

Thirty iron guards followed neatly behind him.

boom!
The world shook in a trance.

Li Mi yelled, "Pei Shao, do you want to seek rebellion?"

Pei Shao bowed his head and knelt down.

Thirty iron guards followed.

Forward, bow, kneel.

Go forward, bow your head, kneel down.

Nine thanks!

There were already many people around, and someone exclaimed, "This is worshiping the king!"

Pei Shao knelt down, and the thirty iron guards behind him did the same.

Pei Shao pulled out the horizontal knife again.

There are many more soldiers at the top of the city, and Li Mi has already hidden in the crowd.

Pei Shao raised his eyes and said calmly: "I wanted to enter the palace, but what if I killed it? I went to honor the emperor and killed the father and son. Who will take over Datang? I think this is the order of Emperor Wu. It’s because the old man’s sword is open to the outside world.”

Li Mi was determined, and just about to take the lead, he heard Pei Shao yell: "This old man says this, your father and son listen."

Li Mi probed.

Pei Shao said: "Your father and son have been fighting dogs for many years. Once you ascend the throne, you will want to be happy and enmity. But this is a country, not a family. The king should know the importance and put the country first."

Hearing these words, Li Mi's tone softened, and he felt relieved, and walked out.

Pei Shao looked at the palace gate and said slowly:
"Wuhuang went to Jiuyou, how can there be no one around? Pei Jiu went down to Huangquan with a knife today, and then opened the way for Wuhuang!"

The horizontal knife is reversed and pulled.

The thirty iron guards behind him are all like this.

On that day, there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky of Chang'an, and then the south urgently reported heavy rain, and the north urgently reported heavy snow like goose feathers.

……

Li Mi was in a trance, returning to reality from that scene back then.

That old thief Pei Shao dismissed his family quietly first, and then took thirty iron guards to commit suicide in front of the palace city. Many people in Chang'an were deeply saddened by it.

Pei Shao went with thirty iron guards, and the northern border became a bunch of fruits, waiting for Li Yuan, who had just ascended the throne, to pick them.

But Pei Shao has been in charge of Northern Xinjiang for many years, how many confidantes did he leave behind?
Sudden cleaning?

Li Yuan and his son also had this idea, but the courtiers around them strongly opposed it, and even said in panic: "If the northern border is cleaned up, it will happen again when the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty came to the city."

Even a courtier bumped his head against the pillar to stop Li Yuan and his son with twinkling eyes.

So the cleaning changed from a violent storm to a gentle drizzle, gradually cleaning up Pei Shao's influence and old department.

During this process, money, food and soldiers began to tilt towards southern Xinjiang, and correspondingly, the money, food and soldiers in northern Xinjiang were reduced.

This is a tacit agreement.

Yang Songcheng, who is in charge of the household department, is the person in charge of implementing this policy, but in fact it is the emperor who is behind it.

It is the common wish of Li Yuan and his son to weaken Northern Xinjiang.

To this day, Li Mi has forgotten that such a decision was ever made, and feels that it is only natural to weaken the northern border.

The same is true for Yang Songcheng.

But now northern Xinjiang has exploded.

From the Jiedu envoy to the governor of each state, he impeached the household department at the same time.

But Li Mi knew that what they impeached was not the Ministry of Household Affairs, but themselves.

rude!

There was a gleam in Li Mi's eyes.

The emperor's instinct made him want to do it.

Nanjiang has been fed for many years, full of food all day long, doing nothing, it is time to serve me.

But he immediately thought of the aftermath of the Civil War.

Then he was in a trance again.

Pei Jiu's old department... seems to have been cleaned up.

Is Yang Songcheng still weakening Northern Xinjiang?

This old dog!

A smile appeared on the emperor's face, "Hubu."

Yang Songcheng got up, all kinds of thoughts were spinning in his mind.

"Your Majesty, please punish me for my negligence."

"The father-in-law has a lot of political affairs, and it is common for him to make occasional oversights."

The emperor smiled very kindly, and cut off Yang Songcheng's title with his backhand, but he was still the Minister of the Household Department.

Afterwards, the emperor hurried into the harem.

He walked all the way back, Han Shitou looked in the wrong direction, and his face was slightly cold.

When they arrived at a remote palace, there were dozens of servants holding swords around the palace. When they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly saluted.

"How about the Supreme Emperor?"

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor drank wine in the morning and just called for singing and dancing."

"it is good."

There was a hint of coldness in Li Mi's eyes, and then he entered the hall.

In the hall, a group of palace people are dancing, with musicians beside them.

The Supreme Emperor Li Yuanji sat on it with his robes open. Looking from the front, the inside of the robes was actually empty, and his whole body was bare in the air.

"Aye!"

Li Mi walked in.

The musicians stopped quickly, and the dancing palace servants also retreated.

Li Bi waved his hand.

The palace people saluted and left.

"Ok!"

Li Yuan snorted coldly, and the palace people stopped.

Li Mi can kill them, but it takes time.And Li Yuan only needs a moment to kill them.

It's good to live a little longer.

Li Yuan pushed away the palace servants around him, and said with a sneer, "The emperor is here? Is he coming to kill me?"

He is slightly fat, with the flesh on his cheeks drooping down, only his nose is thin, like a hook.

"How is Aye?"

"I'm fine."

"Today, the Jiedu Envoy of Northern Xinjiang and the governors of Northern Xinjiang went to Shushu to impeach the Hubu, which reminded me of those years. Aye, do you still remember Pei Shao?"

"That old dog, the corpse was ground into powder and fed to the dog afterward." Li Yuan's eyes were filled with coldness.

"I remember that Pei Shao mentioned honoring the emperor back then..."

Li Mi stared at Li Yuan.

Filial piety to the emperor Li Xun is Li Yuan's elder brother and Li Mi's uncle.

Li Yuan's cheeks trembled, "Who?"

"Honor the emperor."

Li Yuan suddenly grabbed the wine glass and threw it down.

"roll!"

Seeing Li Yuan's complexion changed, Li Mi suddenly knelt down, "Aye, when Li Xun was here, the emperor and empress favored him a lot, but he was killed by a glass of poisoned wine. But Li Xun has fifty guards around him, No. The horned dragon guard has been cultivated well. The leader Lin Feibao is even more outstanding. He once competed with Pei Shao back then, and they were evenly matched..."

Li Yuan laughed suddenly, and then laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha!"

Li Mi looked at him calmly.

After a long time, Li Yuan gasped and said: "You and my father and son, I know what you are like. These years you have not dared to leave the palace, and the officials are full of praise, but who knows that you are afraid of the elder brother's horned dragon guard, hahahaha!"

He smiled happily, "Aye is naturally a green dragon, and the elder brother is the crown prince, a horned dragon. The horned dragon is also a hornless little dragon! But this little dragon was killed before it even had horns, hahahaha!"

The faces of those palace people were dead silent, even after hearing such secrets.

"Are you afraid?"

Li Bi nodded, "Yes."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You only come to see me once a year, and today you come, do you remember the relationship between father and son?"

"Yes."

Li Mi knelt down, walked forward on her knees, lay on Li Yuan's chest, and sucked his penis.

"Aye, the child misses Aye all the time!"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Yuan smiled happily, and then pushed him away.

"You are the same person as me. The only thing worse than you is that I have a softer heart. Otherwise, I would have killed you when I ascended the throne. A Niang was soft-hearted back then, which allowed me to find an opportunity. My soft-hearted heart allowed you to find an opportunity. One drink and one peck, is it destiny?"

Li Mi cried loudly, "The child is not filial, from now on he should come to serve Aye every day."

"If you tell ghosts what you say, ghosts won't believe you."

"Aye!"

Li Mi kowtowed.

Li Yuan smiled, and there was more pride in his eyes.

"Do you still remember the fire in the East Palace?"

"My child remembers."

"Back then when the palace gave poisoned wine to elder brother, I ordered people to summon the horned dragon guards in the name of Aye, and then burned them to death in the East Palace."

Li Mi knelt down and kowtowed, "Aye is wise."

"roll!"

"Yes!"

Li Mi got up to leave, walked outside the main hall, he looked back.

Li Yuan beckoned, two palace men came over, and he knocked down one immediately.

From behind, it looks like an old dog.

……

There is a blacksmith shop in Anrenfang, Chang'an.

The farm tools and other things made by the blacksmith shop are very useful, so the business is good.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The blacksmith's shop is very large and divided into several parts.

The hoe embryos were heated in the fire, and later, a pair of iron tongs clamped the fiery embryos out.

The embryo was clamped onto the table, and a sledgehammer slammed it down.

clang!
Sparks splattered in all directions, and waste slag fell.

A thick arm wields a sledgehammer, as light as a light, like a lamp grass.

The muscles of Chiguo's upper body tensed, and with the swing of the sledgehammer, the muscles trembled.

A blackish face was reddish reflected by Mars.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The hoe is ready.

The woman waiting outside took a look at the majestic man, her face flushed slightly, "Huang Linxiong, are you alright?"

The man nodded, "Okay."

The man looked in his forties with a calm expression.

The woman gave the money and dawdled for a long time before leaving.

The big man turned around.

"Huang Linxiong?"

"This old man seems to have another name, Lin Feibao."

Eyes raised.

Fifty men are wielding sledgehammers in the blacksmith shop.

Dangdang Dangdang!
There is some charm in the sound of the sledgehammer.

As if to break something.
