Li Chun never felt that the Jiangning New Song Dynasty could withstand the full force of the Liao Kingdom.

Although they are winning one victory after another now, what they face are all the armies of Zhao and Qi. The occasional Liao army is just a small-scale attack.

Once the Liao Kingdom's elite Gongfen Army, Pishi Army, and Shushan Army attack with all their strength, can Jiangning really stop it?

Therefore, he has always been submissive to Jiang Ning.

Nominally he obeyed the orders there, but in reality he was doing something else on Qinfeng Road.

Ordinary people on Qinfeng Road don't even know about the Army Recruitment Law, the Young Crops Law, etc., which have been spread on a large scale in the south.

Li Chun's biggest dream is to dominate one side and be free and easy like Xiao Ding and Xiao Changqing.

Of course, Qin Feng Road's territory was still a little small and poor, so he set his sights on Shaanxi Road, and wooing Zhang Cheng was also part of his plan.

Zhangcheng has a very high reputation.

The reputation accumulated by the two generations of father and son is quite impressive.

But his strength is very weak, and Li Chun's thousands of capable soldiers have not yet been placed in Li Chun's eyes.

What's even better is that Zhang Cheng and the Xiao family have a sworn hatred.

This allows me to cooperate with them confidently and boldly.

At first, all of Li Chun's plans went smoothly. Zhang Cheng captured the surrounding areas of Jingzhao Mansion, while Qinfeng Road soldiers and horses advanced fiercely, conquering several prefectures and counties.

But the accident happened at this time.

The Liao people whom Li Chun had always been afraid of actually appeared.

As soon as he showed up, he gave him a head-on blow.

Tens of thousands of Qin Fenglu's elite were beaten to pieces by the Liao people, and even their sons were taken prisoner.

Just when I was in constant panic, a turning point appeared.

The proposal brought by Yelu Longxu's envoy surprised and delighted Li Chun.

Li Chun was the kind of guy who wanted to be a bitch and build a memorial arch at the same time. He already wanted to surrender to the Liao people, but he was also afraid that the Huanghuang history books would criticize him verbally and write down his name in the future, and he would be infamy for thousands of years.

But the appearance of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Suo solved all his worries.

I am not surrendering to the Liao people!

I am returning to serve our Emperor of the Song Dynasty!

The Liao people eagerly brought Zhao Suo back to serve as the useless King of Song. If there were not a few important people to support him, wouldn't it look too shabby and boring?

And I am the person who supports me enough!

Yelu Longxu agreed to his request to allocate Shaanxi Road to him.

It's just that those places occupied by Liu Quanyi will definitely not come back.

However, several states and counties occupied by the Western Army can be taken back.

Now that the main force of the Western Army is confronting Yelumin's troops on the western border, it is a good opportunity for him to take advantage.

As for Zhang Cheng, he said he would give Jingzhao Mansion to him, so he gave him Jingzhao Mansion. But when the surrounding areas of Jingzhao Mansion are his own territory and confidants, what tricks can Zhang Cheng do?

!

"Little Lieutenant Zhang, that little official in Jiangning, I don't know where Xiao Erlang picked up a piece of Xibei from, and now he is sitting on it openly and wants us to pay homage! Bah!" Li Chun said: "

Now that the Supreme Emperor has returned, it is a good time for you and I to go and render service. Since the Supreme Emperor has no one in his hands, all of us will inevitably be taken as confidants by the Supreme Emperor."

"That's true!" Zhang Cheng said calmly.

"Brother, your good opportunity has come!" Li Chun said with some envy: "You and the Supreme Emperor have a friendship. When King Jing rebelled, if you hadn't led three thousand palace guards to defend the palace city, King Jing might have succeeded.

.Haha, based on this alone, the Supreme Emperor will definitely look at you differently!"

"I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder how the Supreme Emperor is doing now?"

"It won't be long before we go to Kaifeng to meet the Supreme Emperor. It will be clear by then!" Li Chun said with a genuine smile.

"Envoy Li Ansu, what if that little official in Jiangning is really the son of King Jing?" Zhang Cheng suddenly asked.

Li Chun laughed loudly, patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder and said: "It's a lie, it's best. If it's true, I don't care, but brother, you will be in big trouble. I'm afraid the death of King Jing is half

Is it your fault? He set himself on fire in front of the palace city. Do you think that little official in Jiangning would hate you to death if he were really the youngest son of King Jing?"

Zhang Cheng took a deep breath: "This is nature."

"So, we have nothing to hesitate. The two of us will work together to first firmly hold Qinfeng Road and Shaanxi Road in our hands, and then slowly expand outwards. Brother Zhang's talents cannot be buried." Li Chun said.

Zhang Cheng smiled noncommittally: "What are the arrangements next?"

"The next step is for us to make preparations. The Emperor will arrive in Tokyo in a month. As for us, we will organize our army and prepare to go north. Then we will wave the flag and cheer for the return of the Emperor!" Li Chun said.

"Well, I'll wait for the call from the pacifier!" Zhang Cheng stood up, crossed his hands and saluted to say goodbye.

Li Chun never doubted that Zhang Cheng had other thoughts.

In his opinion, Zhang Cheng is now an extremely embarrassing guy, and there is no room for reconciliation with Jiang Ning.

He killed the young emperor Jiangning’s father,

His own father was killed by the boss of the Xiao family.

The second eldest son of the Xiao family is now the chief minister of the New Song Dynasty in Jiangning.

Zhang Cheng, where is his chance of survival?

Therefore, this is a partner tailor-made for you!

For now, he can be regarded as a partner, but from now on, he will be his most capable subordinate and his most fierce subordinate.

Li Chun couldn't help but feel extremely happy at the thought of being able to force people like Zhang Cheng to serve as his pawns.

"On the eighth day of April, the army swears to march north!" Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with coldness: "I will kill this traitor in front of everyone's life, and use his blood to warn those who are half-hearted and rebel.

It means death!"

Gan Quan said worriedly: "Lieutenant, when the time comes when we take the oath, they will be surrounded by their people. If you go deep into the tiger's den alone, how can you succeed? Even if you succeed, how can you escape?"

"Why get away?" Zhang Cheng sneered and said: "How can I take them seriously if they are a bunch of scumbags? When the time comes, I will control those prominent figures, but Li Chun's direct troops outside have nothing to say.

Yes, we must have a battle with them. Killing them quickly can also effectively intimidate those tribal troops."

"I think this is what Chief Assistant Xiao means by giving us two thousand hand cannons, right?" Gan Quan pinched Yahuazi: "Has Chief Assistant Xiao even done what you want to do? That's why I gave you these things.

?”

"Xiao Erlang has always been so godly in his mouth. Giving you these things will of course allow me to successfully obtain and control this area. Secondly, it will also warn us. Ganquan, gunpowder weapons have been around for many years.

The development of the army is shocking. In the future, I’m afraid there won’t be any generals who are brave enough to champion the three armies. No matter how powerful you are, a hand cannon can send you to the west! What do you think of those bronze cannons?”

"Breaking down the city and destroying the wall is as easy as turning the palm of your hand!" Gan Quan sighed: "There is also a kind of explosive bomb, which is specially designed for infantry charges. When one such explosive bomb explodes, there will be dozens or hundreds of iron nails.

The pieces fly out, killing people and breaking armor easily. Once the shot is fired, there will be no more human beings within ten feet!"

"War is slowly changing its mode." Zhang Cheng said: "Perhaps, our generation will be the last shining point of swords, guns, swords, halberds and bows."

The two sighed for a while before Zhang Cheng continued: "It's not difficult to kill Li Chun. It's also not difficult to control these mobs after killing him. The difficulty lies in the aftermath of the storm."

"I'm a little worried about Jiangning's promise to contain Yelu Longxu. If they want to use a borrowed knife to kill people, we will be in trouble!" Gan Quan was a little worried.

Zhang Chengchi laughed and said: "Xiao Erlang is not such a person. Besides, if he really wants to borrow a knife to kill us, what good will it do to them? Then Shaanxi Road and Qinfeng Road will be completely messed up, which will only make it easier for the Liao people to seize the opportunity."

In these two places, Yelu Longxu is afraid that he will wake up laughing even if he falls asleep. Do you think Xiao Erlang is so stupid?"

Gan Quan laughed: "Probably not, I just said it casually."

"After we take action here, Wei Wu in Xiayi and Wang Zhu in Nanyang will mobilize their troops and horses in a large scale to attack Kaifeng. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Yelu Longxu will not risk leaving Kaifeng to come to us.

Trouble. If Zhao Suo just arrived in Kaifeng and was killed by Jiangning before he even sat down on the hot seat, how would Yelu Longxu explain it?"

"What about Liu Quanyi? This guy is not a worry-free person either!"

"Zhang Yunsheng, the brave commander of the Western Army, will also leave Luowucheng at this time. Liu Quanyi has to deal with Zhang Yunsheng. How can he have the energy to trouble us! As long as we have half a year, it will be enough for me to reintegrate Qin Fenglu's strength.

, when Yelu Longxu comes again, I will not be afraid of him."

Gan Quan nodded in agreement. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "Captain, maybe I shouldn't ask this question. The problems between you and the Jiangning family, and the blood feud between you and the Xiao family's eldest son.

Is that really the case?”

Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "I have a clear conscience for the death of King Jing. Even if it happens again now, I will still lead people to defend the palace city. As for my grudges with the Xiao family's eldest son, let's wait until later! The murder of my father

Although hatred is irreconcilable, in the face of righteousness, we can only take a step back."

"Captain Gaoyi!"

"It can't be said to be a high righteousness. It's just helpless." Zhang Cheng sighed. "Xiao Ding is now the king of Great Xia and has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. How can I compare with him? They are fighting alone.

I am no match for him either."

Talking about these things makes people feel sad.

It’s not something I can’t do, it’s actually something I can’t do.

On the eighth day of April, we took the oath.
