"Big brother!"

Seeing that it was Li Yan who came, Fang La was shocked!
First, what shocked Fang La was that Li Yan, who was supposed to be in the Anton Governor's Mansion, would come to him!

Secondly, what shocked Fang La was that Li Yan was able to find him. You know, this is his base camp, which not many people know about!

Li Yan smiled and said, "Brother, do you welcome me?"

Fang La immediately calmed down and said, "Why, I'm just a little surprised that you will appear here, fourth brother."

Li Yan said with a smile: "Brother, don't forget, Deng Yuanjue is mine now."

Fang La suddenly realized, and then thought: "That thief bald looked loyal and honest to me, and he didn't want to turn around and completely defected to his new master!"

Fang La looked left and right, and then looked at the more than 100 guards brought by Li Yan, and found that all of Li Yan's guards were full of murderous aura, and said secretly: "These people can probably fight a hundred with one."

When Fang La glanced behind Li Yan, his expression was startled!
He actually saw a woman with the same figure as Fang Baihua!

Eyeballs moved slightly, Fang La looked at Hu Sanniang and asked, "Fourth brother, who is this lady?"

Seeing that there was no obscenity in Fang La's eyes, Li Yan knew that Fang La must have taken a fancy to Hu Sanniang, and then introduced Hu Sanniang to Fang La and said, "This is my concubine, nicknamed Yizhangqing." Then Li Yan introduced Fang La to Hu Sanniang Said: "This is what I told you, my sworn brother, everyone in the world calls him Iron Arm King Kong."

Hu Sanniang bowed, "I have seen Uncle."

Fang La signaled Hu Sanniang to waive the courtesy, and said in her heart: "Li Yan is really different. He doesn't like beauties who are small and close to others, but like this kind of tall women."

Turning her head again, Fang La saw Chen Liqing, who was of a more ordinary figure, and then remembered that Chen Liqing was also Li Yan's concubine, and thought: "Li Yan should like both ordinary beauties and tall women, so it's easy to handle now. .”

Fang La said: "Let's enter the lacquer garden first, and then we can talk... Fourth brother, you don't know, recently I had a lot of trouble with a family member, and I was worried that he would expose me, so I am considering whether to change places or just revolt. "

While entering the lacquer garden with Fang La, Li Yan said: "If the eldest brother is ready, it is naturally best to get up early. Here, the eldest brother occupies Jiangnan, the second brother occupies Hebei, and the third brother occupies Tanxi. I am responding to you overseas. , great things can happen."

Fang La said with a smile: "Didn't the fourth brother accept the imperial court's recruitment? Why are you still doing this beheading business?"

"Hey!"

Li Yan sighed and said: "Everyone thinks that I am at ease overseas. In fact, I know myself like a person drinking water. Although I occupy nearly half of Goryeo's territory, Goryeo's vitality is not damaged. Moreover, Goryeo has recently enlisted and expanded its army. At present, I am conservative. It is estimated that there are 20 elite soldiers, two or three times as strong as mine. On the other side of me is Japan, which is even more of a jackal, who may come and bite me when I am not prepared. In this case, I naturally I have to find an ally too, but it's a pity that you, elder brother, have been unable to do anything for a long time, and the second and third brothers are trapped in the interior and cannot be my aid, so I can only use the imperial court for help."

Fang La heard the accusation in Li Yan's words, and couldn't help but look embarrassed!

Two years ago, Fang La personally promised Li Yan that he would revolt within two years. Now that the agreed time has come, there has been no movement from Fang La's side.

In fact, if there is no movement on Fang La's side, then Li Yan will not come to Fang La in person. After all, Fang La will rise up sooner or later. The ambitions of Tian Hu and Wang Qing, who had developed too smoothly in the past two years.

These two guys have written more than [-] and more than ten letters to Li Yan respectively in the past few months.

Apart from buying armor and explosives from Li Yan, these two people wrote letters to Li Yan with only one meaning—they wanted to become kings.

Tian Hu now occupies 56 counties in five prefectures.

The five prefectures are: Weisheng, Fenyang, Zhaode, Jinning, and Gaizhou.

The 56 counties are all subordinate counties under the jurisdiction of these five states.

Tian Hu started to build palaces in Fenyang, set up civil and military bureaucrats, internal ministers and external generals, to dominate one side, with strong soldiers and steep mountains and rivers.

Tian Qing became even more arrogant, occupying eight military prefectures and 86 counties.

The eight military states are: Nanfeng, Jingnan, Shannan, Yun'an, Ande, Dongchuan, Wanzhou, and Xijing.

The 86 counties are all states and counties belonging to these eight military states.

Wang Qing built treasure halls, inner gardens, and palaces in Nanfeng City. He also learned from the Song Dynasty. He set up civil and military posts, bureaucrats in the provincial court, internal ministers and external generals. The general of the National Command Army, Duan Wu is the Assistant Governor of the National Command Army, Fan Quan is the Palace Marshal, Gong Duan is the Xuanfu Envoy, Gong Zheng is the Transit Envoy, who is in charge of receipts and payments, calculating money and food, and Qiu Xiang is the Imperial Battalion Envoy.

From the series of actions of Tian Hu and Wang Qing, it is not difficult to see that these two guys are going crazy if they want to become kings on their own.

Ok!

Li Yan pinched the lifeblood of these two guys, and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​these two guys becoming kings, otherwise these two guys who don't know who they are will have already become kings and rebelled.

Some people may be puzzled, Tian Hu and Wang Qing will be called kings if they become kings, and do Li Yan's shit, why does Li Yan need to be an official?
In fact, what Li Yan told Fang La was not a lie.

Goryeo really expanded its army, forcibly expanding its force to more than 20, which is even worse than before Li Yan invaded Goryeo.

Not only that, Koryo also actively contacted Gongfu, and even put out the slogan of stopping the civil war and unifying the outside world.

Of course, Gong Fu is not stupid, he knows that if what Gao Li said is true, then he will become Gao Li's cannon fodder, and he must be the first one to perish.

However, Gong Fu did not stand on the united front with Li Yan.

Gong Fu is currently flirting with Gao Li and hooking up with Anton Dufu. In fact, it is all hypocrisy with anyone. The ultimate goal is nothing more than to develop himself in the cracks. When he develops and grows to a certain point After reaching the level, one family united to destroy the other, and finally unified the peninsula and completed the restoration of the country.

Based on this grand goal, Gongfu has been expanding its troops, and now has nearly [-] troops.

In addition to Li Yan's 5 troops - except for the first step, the second step, the fifth step, the sixth step, the ninth step, the tenth step, the fourteenth step, the fifteenth step, the second horse, the third horse, the fourth horse, the third water, With more than [-] troops in the Fourth Water Army, Li Yan sent another [-] infantry reserves to Seoul for unified training by Bing Cao during this period of time. By the way, they were used to prepare for emergencies. The training was given to Deng Fei and Lu Zhishen, and the [-]-horse army reserve was handed over to Bian Xiang and others for training (there are now [-] horse-army reserves on Jeju Island).

The small peninsula now has more than 40 troops, and it is divided into three forces. Naturally, it is similar to a powder keg. It is uncertain when the Three Kingdoms War will break out.

Plus the elusive Japan.

Therefore, Li Yan's situation is really not that good.

In this case, Li Yan naturally couldn't let Song Guo stop.

Firstly, Li Yan could take advantage of the great chaos of the Song State to grab a large amount of people and wealth from the Song State, and vigorously develop himself.

Secondly, as long as the civil turmoil in the Song Dynasty continues, Zhao Ji and others will have no time to make Li Yan's ideas, and they have to keep appeasing Li Yan, so that Li Yan can do whatever he wants.

If Tian Hu and Wang Qing do not become kings, the Song State may be able to tolerate Tian Hu and Wang Qing for a period of time due to the current situation. Once Tian Hu and Wang Qing dare to become kings, it is equivalent to jumping out and saying: "Laozi Tian Hu/Lao Tzu and Wang Qing are rebellious!", so that the Song State will have no fig leaf at all, and then the Song State will definitely destroy them desperately.

Do you really think Song Guo is a soft persimmon?

Little Goryeo can now produce 20 elite soldiers, and Tian Hu and Wang Qing can each produce 20 million troops in only a small area. Let alone the powerful Song Dynasty, if Zhao Ji changed his previous It won't take long for Song Guo to transform into another 50 troops, or even 100 million troops.

Don't think this is an exaggeration, Song Guo, who has not been hurt by Jin Guo, definitely has the confidence.

(The Song Dynasty had 140 million troops at its peak.)
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for the Song Dynasty to maintain so many troops for a long time, because if it is really necessary to raise such an army, the cost is definitely not a small sum. In that case, what will Zhao Ji and others use to enjoy it chicly?

Not mentioning the national power of Song State, only the active army of Song State.

Leaving aside the most capable Western Army in the Song Dynasty, there were at least 20 at this time—just a lot more. Later, when the Western Army was defending Xixia on one side, it also sent 15 Western Army from the Sixth Route of Shaanxi. A total of [-] troops of the [-] forbidden troops of the Qing Dynasty went south to suppress the Fangla Uprising.

Leaving aside the combat power of the Hebei Forbidden Army, as the main force defending the Liao Kingdom, there are always [-] (real numbers), and in name it may be more than [-].

Central forbidden army, I dare not say that there are too many, there should still be 20 troops-the number of forbidden troops for Zhao Jixiu Genyue alone is no less than [-].

Plus the forbidden troops (at least [-]) in various places in the south.

At present, there are at least 50 soldiers in the Song Dynasty alone.

If you count the Xiang Army and the Xiang Army.

Even if the Song Dynasty does not have 80 active troops, it still has 70 active troops.

Under such circumstances, if Song Guo was determined to wipe out Tian Hu and Wang Qing, the two deadly bastards, what else could they do besides being wiped out?
Compared with Tian Hu and Wang Qing, Fang La, who was extremely well prepared, would undoubtedly be able to hold back Song Guo better.

So, after leaving Taiwan, when passing through Hangzhou, Li Yan thought about it and came to see how Fang La's uprising preparations were going.
