Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 779

Gongsun Zhao knew that the first reason why his elder brother asked him to come was because he was from Jizhou. When Song and Liao were allies, this might not be a big deal, but at this time when the two countries are at war, it is just to take advantage of their hometown.

The second is the name Gongsun Zhao, which has long occupied the number one spot on the most wanted list in the Song Dynasty, and is believed to be well-known in the Liao Kingdom.

However, when Yelude asked about his name again, Gongsun Zhao changed his name intentionally after a little thought.

Ding Run found that the situation in the court could not tolerate him, and when he wanted to force him to return to Jizhou, he said that he would change his name and surname, and if he used it at this time, it would actually win the other party's trust.

"This person is obviously Gongsun Zhao, the 'cold-faced judge' who is wanted by the Song court. It is said that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty killed his mother, which is also related to this person's exposure, so why not say it is Gongsun Sheng? Oh, who can we deceive!"

"However, it's not uncommon for a wanted person to change his appearance. No wonder a court official is dressed as a Taoist..."

The Liao State paid great attention to espionage intelligence, and had a good understanding of Gongsun Zhao, and the other party's cover-up made Yelude secretly plan. Seeing Liao land in sight, he was overjoyed and wished he could return to the South Court immediately.

However, Gongsun Zhao stopped here.

He first looked at his hometown in Jizhou in the distance, and at the same time missed his mother whom he had not seen for several years, and at the same time, he faintly felt an unprecedented strange feeling.

After pondering for a while, he turned to the east again, where a group of people and horses were rushing towards them, and they reached the road sign stele.

Several men are tall and powerful, and there is a woman with thick eyebrows, big arms and round waist riding on the horse. She looks like she can make decisions, and her voice is very loud: "If you want to tell me, you should have made a decision long ago. , going to Zengtou City now, if it has already been captured by the Township Warriors, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for us to wait?”

This tough woman is none other than Mrs. Gu, and after hearing his wife's complaint, Sun Xin said: "No matter how powerful Lin Yiyong is, the Liao army has tens of thousands. We will go now, and it won't be too late. Don't worry, lady!"

Even Jie Zhen and Jie Bao laughed and said, "Sister, don't be annoyed, a little delay doesn't matter, and it can't be just a few days, all the Liao people will be wiped out, right?"

Mrs. Gu glared at them: "Don't you think it's hunting? It's a war. How can things be done so casually?"

The three of them shut their mouths instantly.

"It's not too late for this matter, I really blame me..."

The leading man who spoke was Luan Tingyu's younger brother Sun Li.

At this time, Sun Li was not under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou soldiers and horses, but a small infantry leader in the county. Sun Xingu and his wife did not rely on this official position to open a hotel outside Dengzhou city and kill cattle. Bet.

In addition, Sister-in-law Gu also called her two cousins, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao, and Sun Li felt a little embarrassed seeing the brothers and sisters helping each other so much, and explained: "The main thing is that King Chao Tian was destroyed by the Liao army. I was hesitant to go to Hebei to help, so I procrastinated until now..."

Mrs. Gu's complexion changed slightly: "The Liao dog in Hebei counterattacked?"

Sun Xin was also worried: "It should be Lin Yiyong who came to Shandong, and Liaogou found the opportunity... It's a pity that Lin Yiyong is only one person. He cares about us in Shandong, and he can't care about Hebei!"

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao said in unison: "If Hebei falls completely, Shandong is also in danger. We are close to Cangzhou, so we should go to support Chao Tianwang first!"

Sun Lidao: "Don't worry, King Chao Tian is fine. According to the latest news I found out, the Township Corps defeated the Liao Army again and took back the lost stockade. We can rest assured to join the Township Warriors and beat Zengtou City!"

Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what are you waiting for? Drive!!"

Sun Li and the others galloped all the way, and quickly left the range that Gongsun Zhaodao could hear. However, during this conversation, he learned a lot of key news.

The "Tuota King" Chao Gai was counterattacked by the Liao army and broke through the village!

Gongsun Zhao still has a good impression of Chao Gai. He is a hero who rectifies the green forest, gathers bandits, and fights against the Liao people when the country is in crisis.

It's a pity that this man has a lot of problems, more of which is the atmosphere of the green forest. The elder brother repeatedly told the arrogant soldiers to be defeated. Don't underestimate the main force of the Liao people. I'm afraid he still didn't listen to it, so he would be counterattacked by the Liao soldiers and almost broke the law. into a catastrophe.

But even if there is no danger this time, he reminded Gongsun Zhao: "After all, Hebei is where the main force of the Liao army is more than [-]. Exhausted... this is absolutely impossible!"

His idea of ​​changing the dynasty at this time has been extremely firm. Facts have proved that a court that moved its capital to the south and fled to the south is even more powerless to protect the safety of the people in the Central Plains. Therefore, when the officers and soldiers are retreating, it is absolutely impossible to use the sacrifice of the township corps to exchange for the faint king. Have fun in Taiping, Jiangnan!

Seeing the change in Gongsun Zhao's expression, Yelu Dezhong thought he was hesitating whether to really bring him back to the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Dezhong didn't know the specific temperament of this wanted criminal in the Song Dynasty, and he didn't dare to promise him rashly, so as not to have a negative effect, so he could only wait anxiously.

Fortunately, after pondering for a while, Gongsun Zhao took the initiative to say: "You have been annihilated this time, and what should you do after you return to Yanyun?"

Yelv Dezhong smiled lightly, and just wanted to say that there was no serious problem, but when he thought that the Liao army would divide into three groups and attack Hebei, Hedong and Shandong, the Shandong one led by him, the "King of the Royal Brother", was actually completely wiped out. I can't say that kind of thing...

His eyes flickered, and he simply sighed: "Thinking about this until now, it still feels like a dream... That Lin Chong is indeed a world-class general, with both civil and military skills, he can lead a group of villages to defeat our Liao army. No one in my Khitan has such ability, I'm afraid the Southern Dynasty will not tolerate it even more!"

Gongsun Zhao's face darkened slightly, and his Taoist robe fluttered.

Yelv had to carefully observe his words and expressions, and felt that he had found an entry point, so he hurriedly continued: "The emperor of the Southern Dynasty led a hundred officials to flee south, and has arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Although my lord's army is currently in front of the Daming Mansion, it is ready to go to Kaifeng in Henan Province at any time. After leaving Bianliang, everyone in the Song Dynasty lost their hearts, and this time they are going south, who does the Taoist priest think will win?"

Gongsun Zhao sneered: "Then have you ever thought about a question? If Lin Yiyong combined the Hebei Township Corps and Shandong Township Corps, and took advantage of the Liao army's plunder in Henan, and attacked from the rear, the Liao Emperor would have There is no possibility of being captured alive?"

Yelu Dezhong really thought about this development.

The lack of discipline in the Liao army and the flaws of arrogance and arrogance have been fully exposed. His defeats in Shandong were actually based on these two points.

It doesn't make sense that the Liao army in Shandong is like this, and the other two routes will become perfect, and I am afraid it will be more serious. Once they rob the capital of the Southern Dynasty, it may be difficult to gather them together. How could Emperor Zuo not be in danger?
But this also coincides with the topic above, and Yelude continued to pave the way: "Not to mention that our Daliao Kingdom is peaceful and the people are safe, and our military strength is strong. Your Excellency must have underestimated Oruduo who is next to Your Majesty... If Lin Chong really wants to achieve such a feat He is widely admired by soldiers and civilians in Hebei, Henan, and Shandong. How could the Southern Dynasty court tolerate him? If such a hero is slandered and murdered, even this king can't stand it!"

Gongsun Zhao sneered: "Oh! You are kind, I'm afraid I wish the Southern Dynasty would destroy the city wall!"

Yelu has to re-enter the main article: "Don't believe it, the Taoist priest. I respect the strong in Daliao. Compared with the cowardly and faint king who killed his mother in the Southern Dynasty, this king also respects people like Lin Yiyong more. If he wants to become a king and establish a system , and even the founding of the country and the establishment of the capital, it is completely possible to form an alliance with our Daliao, just like Xixia..."

After a pause, his tone was filled with deep sincerity and temptation: "When the time comes, a hero like the Taoist leader, who doesn't want to live with Nanchao, can join Lin Yiyong's command and show off his talents!"

Gongsun Zhao understood in his heart: "It's no wonder that my brother has defeated this person, and he still attaches great importance to him. This Yelu Dezhong is indeed much more insidious and cunning than the very successful Emperor Tianzuo!"

Yelu Dezhong knew that at the moment when Song and Liao were at war, it would be easy to be rejected if he advised the other party to directly join the Khitan people, but if Lin Chong, the most famous person today, was the leader, he believed that the other party's acceptance would be much better. The person who made this suggestion, of course, should be treated well and sent back to the Liao Kingdom.

Of course, his words are not entirely a way out.

If Lin Chong can really separate Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places, the Southern Dynasties will be split, the national power will be greatly weakened, and there will be a protracted war with the new dynasty, just like the previous war with Xixia, and another decades-long contest will inevitably come. Fight for the support of the Liao Kingdom.

At that time, the Liao Kingdom will become the real winner in terms of strategy. Wouldn't it be beautiful for the small southern countries, including Xixia, to beg for mercy from the Khitan people in the future?

"Daydreaming!"

Gongsun Zhao naturally directly opposed this kind of behavior in his heart. The change of dynasty is not only to include all the land of Zhao and Song, but also the land of Yanyun, which has been occupied by the Liao people for a long time, and even the grasslands of the Liao Kingdom, Xixia, Qingtang, and Tubo. The Hexi Corridor and the territory of the former Tang Dynasty will return.

As the senior "Zuo Ming" said, re-open the sun and moon to inherit Yao and Shun, and recreate the universe to continue Han and Tang!

But since the other party was so calculating, he might as well accept it, his eyes flickered.

Although there is no direct ecstasy on the other party's face, if the cold-faced judge is so easily said to be overjoyed, then there is something wrong. The other party's thinking actually means that his heart is moving.

Yelu Dezhong was overjoyed: "Let's not talk about the distance, the king is still blessed by the heavens. After several twists and turns, he is finally safe!"

Sure enough, Gongsun Zhao pondered for a while, rolled up his sleeves, and led him up: "Let's go!"

The divine movement method was activated again, and Yelu had to endure the pain by force.

Compared with Dai Zong's armored horse leading people in the original book, Gongsun Zhao's magic walking technique leading people is really tormented, but now Yelu can't care about being picky, the sooner he returns to the land of Yanyun, his heart The more down-to-earth you can be.

The whole journey was swift and swift, and after an unknown amount of time, Gongsun Zhao paused and put him down: "Jizhou is here!"

Yelude vomited it out with a heavy wow, with severe pain in his chest and abdomen, his facial features twisted and he raised his head, with ecstasy in his eyes: "The king is finally back!"

But soon, seeing the long line of victims at the gate of the city and the cries of complaints, his joy slowly disappeared.

In Gongsun Zhao's cold and serious tone, he couldn't suppress his anger: "Is this what your Excellency said about the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people?"

After confirming again that this is indeed Jizhou, Yelu Dezhong's face darkened.

No need to ask the reason, he also knew that this tragic situation must have been forced by the pressure of food and grass on the front line.

He didn't care about the life and death of the Han people at all, even if there were hundreds of thousands of deaths, he would not blink his eyelids.

But the Han people in the fourteen prefectures of Yanyun couldn't survive, and the officials forced the people to rebel, which led to turmoil in this small territory, but it was also crucial to the Liao Kingdom, and his eyelids would be twitching crazily.

"Your Majesty shouldn't have personally conscripted..."

But after much deliberation, Yelu Dezhong could only sigh similarly to Xiao Wuna.

The people in the land of Yanyun are in dire straits, the key is two points.

The first is the rise of Hebei township soldiers, which made the Liao army's habitual local food collection plan encountered strong obstacles.

The second is the personal conquest of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, especially the large number of Oruduo, who loves to enjoy themselves, which suddenly put a heavy pressure on the army's food and grass.

Even if there is no first point, after the Liao emperor's conquest, looting alone is not enough, and grain must be allocated from the territory of Liao. With the first point, the pressure will be even greater, and then all the pressure will be on the Han people in Yanyun body.

It is also inevitable that the two countries will go to war. The people of one country will rise up to resist, which will inevitably cause greater pressure on the other country. It is impossible to choose to surrender in order to make the enemy country feel better.

And the people in some countries also supported the war, and they deserved the miserable life they lived, and it was not even enough to atone for their sins. Major events have an impact, so they can only bear it passively...

Yelu Dezhong also expected this a long time ago. What he saw now was that the miserable conditions of the people were even worse than he imagined, so he couldn't help frowning.

How to solve it?

Could it be possible to ask Emperor Tianzuo to come back?
That person is so headstrong that he can't win the Daming Mansion, and can spend hard outside, how could he turn back under the pressure of Yanyun's grain and grass behind him?

This is Gongsun Zhao's hometown, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled Yelu Dezhong again and headed for Jiugong County.

When he got outside the county, he left this person directly and said coldly: "Your Excellency, please do it yourself!"

Seeing that this man was about to leave, Yelu Dezhong let go of some doubts in his heart. If it was an undercover agent, how could he just leave it behind like this? The other party has such attainments in magic and is under the rule of Jizhou. Heart: "Wait a minute!"

Gongsun Zhaoli ignored them and continued walking forward.

Yelu was so weak that he couldn't find it, so he could only shout from afar: "This king wants to find the Taoist leader, where should he go?"

Gongsun Zhao frowned slightly, looked at a mountain not far away, and said a word, then his sleeves fluttered, and he gradually walked away until he disappeared into the mountains and clouds:

"Go to Erxian Mountain and ask Yu Xian!"
