The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 610
The so-called Liao people are actually synonymous with ethnic minorities, and the folk customs are simple and sturdy.

Because of the remote location, lack of information, serious shortage of production resources and other reasons, their lives are very difficult. In addition, most of the officials sent by the court were exiled for making mistakes. They have no intention of making progress and do not know how to mediate conflicts. , Blind suppression led to intensification of conflicts, and finally bureaucrats killed officials and rebelled.

Of course, instead of saying that the Liaoren killed officials to rebel, it is better to say that this is a unique way they use to petition. In fact, the Liaoren who have been treated unfairly have no way to sue, nor do they know where to go to sue, so they killed The official became the only choice, only in this way, the court will send a bigger official to handle the affairs here.

But in any case, it is wrong to kill officials. After all, officials represent the face of the court, or represent the face of Li Er. If you kill them, you are slapping Li Er in the face, and you still go back and forth hit.

So Li Muyun already had a plan before entering Liaodi, just like what he said to Li Chengqian before leaving Chang'an, kill a group, beat a group, and finally recruit another group.

It's just that he doesn't have much time this time, because his main task is not to come here to quell the chaos, but to use the name of quelling the chaos to make a circle around Liaodi, and then go straight in from another direction. Songzhou, rescue Niu Jinda.

One month, one month at most, this is the deadline Li Muyun set for himself. After one month, no matter what the situation is, his team will leave the territory of the Liao people and return to the civilized world.

Mengshelong, the initiator of the rebellion, united with the other five tribes around him, killed officials and rebelled and became king himself.

Because Datang's strength in the southern part of Jiannan Road is not strong, they hardly encountered any decent resistance. Those officials who were exiled, that is, county magistrates and the like, were quickly killed by them. Except for some local tycoons, that is, bandits, there are almost no traces of Han people in the land.

Zhang Lejin, a Shan Xiongxin-like figure, belongs to the leader of the local tyrants. This man has great ambitions. Seeing Mengshelong's power, he took the initiative to marry his daughter to Mengshelong's eldest son Xinuluo, and became a relative with Lao Meng. .

On this day, Zhang Lejin was sitting alone at home, and the slave girl snatched behind him played a fan for him, enjoying the cool breeze, and Lao Zhang was dreaming comfortably.

The Tubo people are currently trapped in Songzhou, and almost all of Tang's troops in Jiannan Road are stationed at the border of Yizhou, in order to prevent the Tubo army from going south; Generals have been sent to put down the rebellion; there is also Tu Yuhun. It is said that Tu Yuhun seems to have rebelled and is marching troops to Liangzhou. It is estimated that the court will also send troops to suppress it.

With these three powerful forces rushing forward, a small civil disturbance in Jiannan Road could no longer attract the attention of the court.

Oh, by the way, recently there have been gossip that the court sent an inexplicable King Xiaoyao with [-] troops to quell the chaos. Calling a few times, killing a few ordinary people at random, it is estimated that they will go back to do business.

If this model continues to develop, no one will disturb Mengshelong in a short period of time. Take this opportunity to find a way to continue to make Mengshelong continue to grow. At that time, as long as you have [-] soldiers, take advantage of the geographical advantage In this way, Tang Jun can be completely blocked from Jiannan Road.

When that day really comes, Mengshelong will become the uncrowned king just like Feng An, Jiannan Dao will also become a kingdom within a country, and Zhang Lejin...

"You are Zhang Lejin? The bandit leader?" Before Lao Zhang could continue to think, a guy with a brightly colored face and a ghostly appearance appeared in front of him, with a crossbow in his hand pointed at his head. The triangular arrow was shining with black light.

"You, you, are you a human or a ghost?" Zhang Lejin was taken aback by that man, but after all these years of being a bandit, he still has some guts. After asking, he immediately reacted and said with a straight face: " I don't care if you are a human or a ghost, immediately put down the things in your hands and explain how you got in, otherwise I will make it difficult for you to die."

"Hehe..." The man was threatened by Zhang Lejin, and his ghostly face became ferocious. Although he was smiling, there was an indescribable evil charm: "It really didn't take much effort. Gong Laozi snatched it up."

"What? You..." Zhang Lejin was stunned. He really didn't expect that there are still people in Jiannan Road who would dare to attack him. Isn't he afraid of death?But soon, he understood that the other party was not afraid of death, but confident, because he had someone, and the other party also had someone.

In just a few short breaths, countless guys dressed similarly to the person in front of him have emerged from every corner of his house, and some of them are still shaking the blood on the knife. Obviously, the defense that his house is proud of has already disappeared. It was breached silently.

Just when Zhang Lejin was thinking about how to deal with it next, those guys in brightly colored clothes with ghost-like paint on their faces had already gathered, and one of them said: "My lord, the inside and outside have been cleaned, except for the old and weak , not a single one was left alive."

"Retreat, take this kid!" The guy with the strong crossbow put it away, turned around and left.

"No!" The two 'ghosts' formally agreed, set up Zhang Lejin and followed without saying a word.

By this time, Zhang Lejin had realized that these people turned out to be soldiers, real soldiers.

Aren't all the soldiers in Jiannan Road killed?How could there be such a group of people.

And listening to their accents, it seems that they are not locals, or they should be northerners, which means that these people are all foreigners, not the local soldiers of Jiannan Road.

What's going on, what's going on, why don't I know that there are more people in Jiannan Road? Are they really ghosts?Can escape the ground and fly to the sky?That's why he came to me without anyone noticing?

Zhang Lejin was escorted by several soldiers, with a bag on his head, and walked in the woods with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He felt more and more uneasy, and felt that he was being led into hell. Maybe it was brought before the master of the mountain god.

I don't know how long he walked, Zhang Lejin was still a little scared at first, but as time went by, his physical exhaustion made him almost forget everything, and the severe pain from his feet made him feel that life would be worse than death.

I wonder when Zhang Lejin suffered such hardships. He usually wished that he would be carried by someone when he went to the toilet. Now he has to cover the mountain road with his head covered. If he walks slowly, he will be kicked. I can't bear it anymore, and I have to bear it again.

Slowly, when Zhang Lejin endured until he didn't even know where his legs were, the advancing team stopped, the cover on his head was pulled off, and the thing stuffed in his mouth was taken out.

It was already dark outside, and it was unknown what time it was in the dense jungle. A young man was sitting opposite him, and a beautiful woman who was also young was standing beside him, putting the peeled lychees into his pocket. in the mouth.

"Let me introduce myself, Li Muyun, the comforter of Jiannan Road!" The young man and Zhang Lejin looked at each other for a moment, then spat out the lychee core in his mouth, and said calmly.

However, the young man said it easily, but Zhang Lejin's expression changed, he opened his mouth wide, and after a while he stammered: "Xiao, Xiao, Xiaoyao..." Halfway through speaking, a spirit suddenly knelt down, regardless of being tied behind him With both hands, he kept bumping his head on the ground: "My lord, my lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, the villain has no choice, and the villain is also forced!"

"Tell me about your use value. If there is no use value, why would I spare you?" Another lychee was stuffed into his mouth, which made Li Muyun's voice a little vague, but Zhang Lejin's head kept breaking out in cold sweat .

In fact, Zhang Lejin was really terrified. He didn't know if all this was real. Not long ago, he was still dreaming of being king, but he became someone else's prisoner in a blink of an eye.

And is this person in front of him really the Happy King who came to be gilded?Or maybe Xiaoyao Wang was transformed by the mountain spirit, otherwise how could he appear in this kind of old forest where even the locals are not very willing to come in.

Under the high tension, Zhang Lejin only felt that his brain was not enough. He couldn't figure out why Li Muyun, who was supposed to be ambushed on the road, would emerge from the forest. Moreover, there was a faint black shadow in the distance beside him. Troops were also brought in.

For Zhang Lejin, this was almost unimaginable, because there had never been an established Tang army that would enter the dense forest. If they were not familiar with the environment here, 1 people might not be able to get out even [-].

"Pa", before Zhang Lejin could figure it out, someone slapped the back of his head, and then he heard the person who grabbed him say beside him: "My general is asking you something, you're dumb!"

Zhang Lejin was scolded like an animal, but he didn't dare to complain, he didn't even dare to turn his head, he just looked at Li Muyun and said: "General, oh no, my lord, if you have anything to do, just tell me, the villain is willing to be ashamed .”

"Damned?" Li Muyun glanced at Zhang Lejin with a smile that was not a smile, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "In ancient times, King Zhou wanted to eat people's hearts, so Bi Gan took out his own heart and gave it to King Zhou to eat. How about painting one for Lao Tzu to see?"

"My lord, villain, I..." Zhang Lejin was about to cry, Li Muyun played his cards so unreasonably, he really didn't know how to respond.

It was the woman who had been standing next to Li Muyun who patted him behind him: "It's so disgusting!"

And the guy standing behind him smiled and said: "General, this guy is too cowardly, just kill him, why bother talking to him."

The corners of Zhang Lejin's mouth twitched, and he thought that he wanted to be tough. If he was facing other bandits or tribesmen at this time, he would really dare to be tough.

But why is this an army? How could a local rich man in his own place be able to fight against a soldier.

These guys with crossbows are a group of bandits with certificates. By suppressing the rebellion, killing a few people is just like playing. If you dare to pretend to be a calf, you probably don’t know how to die.

"Forget it, it's boring." Just when Zhang Lejin was full of complaints and didn't know how to pray for his life, Li Muyun jumped off the stone and snapped his fingers: "Bring him up."

"Promise!" A voice sounded in the darkness not far away, and within a short time, a young man with his hands tied behind his back was dragged out. When he saw Zhang Lejin who was following him on the ground, he immediately struggled and shouted: " Father, father save me, save me!"

"Ling'er!" Zhang Lejin trembled when he heard the voice, his face turned pale instantly, and he kowtowed like garlic: "My lord, please be kind to me, the villain knew it was wrong, the villain should not collude with Meng Shelong, the villain should not Coveting glory and wealth, begging the prince to forgive the dog, he, he really doesn't know anything, doesn't know anything."

Li Muyun snorted lightly: "Collude with other races, kill compatriots, intend to plot rebellion, Zhang Lejin, any one of these things is enough to make your whole family of the barbarians?"

"Yes, yes, I beg your lord to be merciful. I am willing to make up for my mistakes. As long as my lord lets Ling'er go, I will die with that Mengshelong." Looking at his son who was dragged away again, Zhang Jinle was no longer calm. He couldn't get up, the blood dripping from his forehead didn't seem to stop.

Li Muyun looked at Zhang Lejin who was praying for his son's life, there was no trace of shame on his face, he curled his lips and said, "To die together, that's a good word, but do you think Lao Tzu's men won't be able to kill a Mengshelong?"

Zhang Lejin shook his head again and again: "No, no, my lord has descended from heaven, so naturally he won't put Meng Shelong in his eyes, but I just ask the lord to give the villain a chance to make up for his mistakes."

"Well, since you are so sincere, if I don't give you this chance, I'm afraid someone will say I'm dishonest." Li Muyun thought for a moment, and then said to Zhang Lejin: "Three days later, in your manor, You bring Mengshelong, I want to have a good talk with him."

"Ah? What, what?" Zhang Lejin was stunned.

Originally, he thought that Li Muyun wanted to kill Meng Shelong and take that Liaoren's head back to claim meritorious service, but he didn't expect that it was just for negotiation. If it was just like this, it would be very easy.

"Didn't you hear? I want you to find out that Mengshelong, my general will give him a chance to live." The 'ghost face' standing on the side raised his hand again, ready to draw Zhang Lejin, which made old Zhang tremble.

Li Muyun waved the 'ghost face' back at this time, and then said to Zhang Lejin: "As the saying goes, God has the virtue of good life, Jiannan Dao has enough blood, and I am also a person who can't see blood, so I hope that I can pass Negotiate to solve the problem, if you still want your son's life, then go back and find a way to find that Mengshelong, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Lejin didn't dare to say no at this time, although he was not sure whether he could find Mengshelong, but there was nothing wrong with agreeing first.
