The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 314
September thirteenth.

Geng Mansion.

On the verdant old tree in the courtyard, slightly yellow leaves floated from the top of the tree to the ground, and then stepped on the soles of the shoes.

The sky was not yet bright, and the misty courtyard lanterns flickered with light. Geng Qing followed Jiuyu's tailor-made set of movements and breathing methods, and slowly punched and kicked. It's the demeanor of some great masters.

A few steps not far away, the tall and burly Li Cunxiao's hands and feet were like the wind, and every time he swung a punch, there was a whistling sound of wind, and the branches and leaves of the short trees beside him were gently stroking.

In the backyard, the guards uniformed their clothes, tied their weapons around their waists, and went about their business quickly.Shi Jingtang and Li Siyuan also got up early, imitating Geng Qing's appearance in the past, squatting under the eaves to wash their hands, watched the two people boxing in the yard for a while, then went to the front yard to have a hasty breakfast, and brought the fully equipped guards from the side yard Quietly leave the house and go to the deserted street.

After the people left, the Geng Mansion seemed deserted. Zhao Hongjun came from the next door, and came to see Geng Qing enthusiastically to watch the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. All the way into the backyard, he also found that the mansion was empty. He saw Geng Qing practicing boxing and kicking in the courtyard. Just now he breathed a sigh of relief, put out his swollen belly, bowed his hands and exchanged a few words of greeting.

However, Geng Qing, who was making a set of punches and feet, ignored it, making him stand there in embarrassment.

After a while, Li Cunxiao stopped first and greeted Zhao Hongjun with a smile.

"Zhao Yushi is here, please wait for a while, my brother will do it again." Said, bypassing Zhao Hongjun, went to the front yard, and brought it over earlier with the low table when he came back, and put it under the eaves of the corridor, together There was also Jiuyu who came back, and today he was dressed a little differently from the past, with a flowery collar, a slim purple robe with a waist, and a snowflake singlet, with a towel on his arm, standing respectfully under the old tree.

Soon after Geng Qing finished the last set of movements, he reached out to take the towel from Jiuyu, smiled and nodded to Zhao Hongjun who was under the eaves, and invited him to come over for breakfast.

"I've already eaten, it's late, when shall we go to the palace to watch the ceremony?" Fat Yushi waved his hand, seeing Geng Qing sitting on the floor of the corridor, he simply raised his robe and squatted aside and asked with difficulty.

Geng Qing took a big white steamed bun and took a bite, said with a smile:
"There's no rush. It's okay to go later when the sky is bright. Before that, I have another thing to tell you by the way."

In the middle of the words, he beckoned to let the fat Yushi approach, and the latter moved his feet, getting closer, and then heard Geng Qing continue:

"A few days ago, I ran into a strange man named Pang. This man is very good at deception. I learned something from him and I want to pass it on to you today. After you have this surgery, you need to do something that will benefit you forever. thing."

Zhao Hongjun blinked his eyes in confusion.

Isn't today the grand ceremony for Guan Xinhuang's ascension to the throne?Why did you talk to me about this matter? If I don't want to be an official, what would I do if I learn to cheat?

However, it was hard for him to refuse, so he bit the bullet and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Swallow foreign wealth and feed back the foundation of my country. Take some wealth along the way and live a prosperous life." Geng Qing drank a bowl of gruel, glanced at Li Cunxiao who was also confused, and couldn't help laughing, "Do you think Khitan how?"

"It's just a barbarian. I have China's knowledge, and I can learn from the gourd." Zhao Hongjun said this, but he was a little anxious: "What exactly do you want to say? Can you say it directly? It makes people itch."

Geng Qing smiled, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at the courtyard that gradually became brighter.

"The trip to the north made me feel deeply. When my country declines, foreign races will rise. This has been the case from the Han Dynasty to the present, and it must be the same in the future. Although Khitan has not yet established a country, it is almost the same. Once a country is established, it must be established. Fighting wars, the battle of establishing a country, depends on whether it is going south to Youzhou, or attacking Yunzhou and Yanmen, but it is the same for me wherever I fight, and the people of China will suffer when I rule the land."

The eyes looking at the courtyard were slightly lost in thought, and then gradually solidified and firm.

"The split-and-combined fighting in the country gave them an opportunity to take advantage of. Instead of giving Khitan, Uighur, and Tubo cheap, it would be better to strike first from the other side."

Geng Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the two of them.

"Internal friction has exhausted my Huaxia power. I want to send troops to fight against the Khitan and other alien races. I have more energy than I want. How to weaken them can only come from money—"

The sky was misty, and on the deserted street, there were many figures, stepping on the wet brick road, moving forward quickly, spreading towards the front.

Today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne. Zhizheng Yuan Shi Jingxiang dressed up and went out of the mansion to take a car. Driving out of the long street, what he met was a group of people surrounding him. Xiang opened the curtain, and what he heard was Shi Jingtang's gloomy voice resounding in the street.

"It's Zhizhengyuan affairs, you can't go anywhere today."

Countless figures of armed soldiers swarmed past.

"The Khitan clan, running around in the grasslands and mountains to make a living, are brave and good at fighting. After hundreds of years of absorbing our Chinese knowledge, battle formations, and weapons, and using the power of the whole clan, not one state or county can resist, but we are also determined by who is the emperor and who There is one more city, and the fighting is endless, and it will not be long before they will go south, plunder considerable wealth and population to fill their territory, and create a stronger society and economy for them."

The early morning wind was wet and cold, blowing across the courtyard and blowing on Geng Qing's face. Under the lights, his eyes were extraordinarily bright: "Since we have no skills, let's have something they haven't seen before, and in turn rob them of their money— "

To the east of Luoyang, chariots and horses were gradually marching along the official road in the early morning. Travelers and merchants from three mountains and five mountains began to go to the city gate that was about to be opened. On the increasingly lively road, soldiers and horses also came and went, met and fought.

Zhu Youwen, who came to Luoyang from Bianzhou, fled in embarrassment, shouting: "Kill my father and son, and kill my brother—"

On the official road in the rear, two groups of soldiers and horses clashed, and a general named Han Qing pursued him closely. Soon, he met another group of soldiers and horses. He was knocked off his horse, pierced in the chest with a gun, and crucified to death. ground.

Xia Luqi stood on his horse and held his gun, looking at the astonished soldiers of the Longwu Army, "Who will come forward to lead the death?!"

The wind carried his voice away.

In the misty morning, at the military camp in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, Yang Huaixiong stood on a high platform, looking at the countless soldiers sweating profusely on the school grounds. In the distance, a deputy envoy of the Longxiang Army named Han Lingqi came with his own soldiers.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Yang Huaixiong turned his eyes away to look at the white belly gradually rising in the east, and slammed the moon in his hand.

"In the north, there are rare treasures in the south, such as centuries-old ginseng buried in the ice and snow, precious fur, and majestic deer antler, as well as iron and copper that can be inexhaustible for forging thousands of soldiers, and calligraphy, painting and jewelry looted from the south. There are also vast grasslands and strong war horses."

Geng Qing slapped the table, and the seductive words echoed in the courtyard, making people fascinated.

"These things are precious. Who doesn't want them? You and I, as well as merchants and officials, everyone wants them, but we don't have the extra energy to plunder and defeat them. There is only one way , let them take them out and set them before us."

In the voice, Geng Qing stood up and asked Jiuyu to put on a purple gold official robe for him, tie a goldfish bag, a delicately carved scabbard, and a leather rein gently swaying on his robe with the sword head, then turned and walked to the front yard , more than a dozen guards were already waiting, and strode out of the mansion together.

The sun is pushing the color of Qing Ming to spread over.

Dragon Army Barracks.

The sun broke through the gaps in the clouds and shone from the sky. Yang Huaixiong squinted his eyes, turned his eyes, smiled at the deputy envoy who was also looking at him, and immediately raised his hand.

The soldiers practicing in the school field stopped their movements, and turned to Han Lingqi and his soldiers at the edge of the school field.

"kill!"

Yang Huaixiong pressed his palms, turned around and walked down the high platform with his cloak lifted, walked past the flesh and blood chopped into a pool of mud by thousands of soldiers, and got on his horse.

"Follow me into the city!"

The cavalry gathered and pushed aside the fence of the army stronghold, and the long dragon cut through the field and pushed towards the giant city ahead.

In Luoyang, the bustling and bustling long streets of the past gradually appeared in the city. People walked to the city gate and the imperial city. Under the coarse linen clothes, there was a hard leather armor.

At a certain moment, he tore off his outer clothes, and took out weapons from under the wheelbarrow and donkey cart. In a nearby restaurant, Wang Yanzhang tied up his hair, and with the help of others, he put on his armor, and strode downstairs and onto the street.

"Khitan is good at fighting, so don't fight him, use another method to defeat them, invade their land, plunder their wealth, eat their hearts, and hollow them out! Are you willing?"

Geng Qing walked out of the mansion, stood on the chariot, looked at the fat censor behind him, the latter nodded hesitantly, and had a final question.

"Why did I go. But I finally found out what I am good at?"

"No, it's your ability to escape." Geng Qing smiled, got into the car, opened the curtain and waved to him, "But before going to Khitan, follow me and follow me to the palace."

He lowered the curtain, and there was a final sound.

"Take you to see a dog."

The carriage slowly drove away from the long street outside the gate of the mansion, and on the way to the imperial city, crowds gathered from all directions, tore off their clothes, revealing their armor, swords and soldiers formed an formation, Hao Hao Tang Tang followed the carriage, forming a huge wave.

Then, rush to the imperial city.

Like a thunderbolt, it exploded above the imperial city.
