Chapter 34 Ten Chopsticks
Author: Stephen the Thunderman
Over in Qiantang, there was a lot of fun reminiscing about old times, and the city of Lin'an was equally lively.
Liu Li looked at the newly appointed Lord Yin of Lin'an Prefecture in front of him in shock and doubt.
He was nearly sixty years old, and he had seen a lot of things in the wind and waves, and had taken a lot of lives with his own hands.
But when Mr. Xin called out "Marshal Guo", he was still a little panicked.
Fortunately, it was only for a moment and he has calmed down now.
Offering his hand towards Liu Bang again, Liu Lida said:
“Mr.
After saying this, he leaned closer to Liu Bang and hung his arm firmly on Liu Bang's hand:
"My lord is drunk, so go back home early and come back another day..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw this man gently removing his hand.
Although he is old, he has never slacked off in these years, and he can still draw the three-stone bow seven or eight times.
Not to mention how many people were present, even elite soldiers from the Song and Jin countries, Liu Li asked himself how many moves he could make without falling behind.
And now...
Is this really just a civil servant?
"I know in my heart whether I am drunk or not, but you are a little ignorant."
Liu Bang signaled Liu Qi not to move, he could handle it himself.
Only Lao Wangtou and the other three had not noticed the clue yet, so they just assumed that the two of them were talking.
"Since I can come here and expose your identity in front of you, is it wrong for me to treat myself like myself?"
"Actually..." Liu Bang leaned close to his ear, "Not really."
Looking at Liu Li's face as if he had seen a ghost, Liu Bang smiled and said:
"But now that you react like this, I really do."
Liu Li sighed softly and shouted loudly:
"Close the door and see the guests off!"
The Sibei Building, which was already mostly scattered, is now completely empty.
Except for their table, there was no one else.
"If these people didn't know, they would have left together."
Liu Bang nodded, knowing that this was Liu Li's kindness.
He thought he was here to seek death. Under such circumstances, he still thought of sparing the lives of these people, which was not considered crazy.
"Old father-in-law, just take them back and come to collect the shop early tomorrow."
Lao Wangtou did not dare to disobey, but he still wanted to give some advice, but was eventually taken away by Ji Wu and Wang Xiaoer.
"So, this person also knows it?"
He was asking Liu Qi. The door to Sibei Tower was completely closed.
The clerk in the store ran over and said something to Liu Lifu, who was completely dumbfounded:
"You only brought one helper, and then you came to me for questioning?"
Liu Bang asked: "Isn't it possible?"
Liu Li relaxed and finally sat back on the stool like them.
"Master Xin, how about you cross the river now, keep what you know in your stomach, and continue your small business?"
"No." Liu Bang refused decisively.
This, I'm afraid, is a nerd.
Although he is a stronger nerd.
"Then tell me and let me see how much you know."
"If it doesn't matter, I can save your lives by cutting your tongues and taking your arms."
Liu Bang took a pair of chopsticks from the table, took one, and put it on the table:
"Twenty-five years ago, that is, the sixth year of Zhenghe, Gao Yongchang killed Xiao Baoxian of the Liao Kingdom, occupied more than fifty states in Liaodong, and proclaimed himself emperor. The Liao people sent troops to suppress it, but they were overthrown by the Jurchen soldiers whom Gao Yongchang invited as helpers.
Defeat, so the Emperor of Liao worshiped King Yelu Chun of Yan as his commander, recruited 28,000 hungry people from Liaodong, and formed the Eighth Battalion of the Resentful Army, right or wrong?"
Liu Li nodded: "Master Xin has a good memory. Twenty-five years ago, did you think you had not yet achieved fame?"
"I said what I said, why did you come to ask me?"
Liu Bang was very dissatisfied and placed a second chopstick:
"Twenty years ago, Dong Xiaoqiu, the general of the resentful army on the Southeast Road, failed in the battle and was executed. Luo Qinghan and others led the army to rebel and were killed by you. Yelu Yujian suggested to Xiao Qian that all the resentful troops should be killed to avoid future troubles.
Being rejected by Xiao Qian, yes or no?"
Got a positive answer, the third chopstick:
"Nineteen years ago, the Resentful Army was renamed the Changsheng Army and came under your jurisdiction. In April, you and Xiao Qian defeated Tong Guan's 100,000 troops who attacked the Liao Dynasty. In July, Xiang Yanqing led 200,000 troops to attack the Liao Dynasty again. This time
Fan, the Han people are no longer trusted by the Liao people, and you led your army to surrender to the Song Dynasty on the eve of Xiao Qian's attack on you."
Liu Li nodded, then shook his head: "It's probably not bad, but the one who leads 200,000 people is not the one you mentioned, but Liu Yanqing."
I rolled my eyes at him and didn't explain to him. The fourth chopstick:
"After the surrender, your troops will be under the command of Liu Yanqing. At that time, the Liao Kingdom had already presented a surrender form and declared itself a vassal to the Song and Jin countries. Song Huizong thought that Yanjing could be captured, so he ordered Liu Yanqing to march with you as quickly as possible."
"We had already entered the city, but you were waiting to kill the Khitans and Xi people in the city, which aroused strong resistance from others, and finally dragged Xiao Qian to come to the rescue. This time, the success was unsuccessful again."
"However, this method of surprise attack on Yanjing is really clever. If it fails, it is still Liu Yanqing's fault."
Hearing him talk about this, Liu Li blushed even though she endured it.
Old thief, you really deserve to die!
The fifth chopstick:
"If you fail to attack Yan, Song Huizong..." Liu Bang endured hard work to avoid swearing, "I still love you very much. The Jin people followed the maritime alliance and handed over Yanjing and other places to the Song Dynasty, so you can
I took up a position in Yanshan Mansion."
"In this way, relying on the favor of Song Huizong, the Song Dynasty will provide you with all the weapons, armor and horses you ask for first; you also sent your men to do business in various parts of the Song Dynasty and made countless profits. Your ever-victorious army numbered fifty thousand.
The number of rural soldiers is even said to be 300,000. In just a few years, even those military general families in the northwest cannot catch up with you... The first army of the Song Dynasty at that time should be your ever-victorious army."
"But you don't wear Han clothes, you still wear Liao clothes. Tsk tsk. You behave like this, but you can still continue to serve as a general of an army. The Song Dynasty is really not unfair."
The sixth chopstick: "Sixteen years ago, more than a year before the Battle of Jingkang, Wanyan Zongwang led his army to attack Yanjing. Your boy was quite capable. He fought with the Jin people for more than thirty miles, but in the end his men escaped first.
Well, you and Wanyan Zongwang fought to a draw."
"But you are so quick to fall out. Once you lose here, you will want to surrender. Fortunately, Song Huizong also wants to make you the King of Yan and let you guard it for generations... This Zhao family is really naive."
The seventh chopstick: "Song Huizong abdicated the throne. Wanyan Zongwang was worried that the emperor would be changed. The Song Dynasty was prepared. He was about to retreat, but you stopped him... You gave the Jin people a good description of Bianjing.
The rich people were so greedy that they regarded the Song Dynasty as a chopping block for fish and meat."
The eighth chopstick: "You took Wanyan Zongwang's 20,000 horses from the Tiansi Prison of the Song Dynasty."
The ninth chopstick: "After the Jin people retreated for the first time, they found an excuse to seize your victorious army. More than nine years ago, you were taken to the Marshal's Mansion for offending Wanyan Zonghan.
You have gained a life, and from now on, there will be no news about you in the Kingdom of Jin."
The tenth chopstick: "So, your Sibeilou business has increased in Song Dynasty."
"Am I right?"
"The remnants of the Liao Dynasty, the powerful ranks of the Song Dynasty, the heroes of the Jin Dynasty..."
"Mr. Guo."
