In the snow all over the sky in Bianliang, Yanqing Temple gave the title of the new king Zhao Cai and presented the jade ball treasure book.

A team of people came from Hedong. They did not have uniform armor on them, and many of them simply wore shabby Taoist robes.

The Taoist leader, who is well-known and mature, is Zhang Zhengyuan, who is regarded as a savior by countless victims in Hedong.

At this time, there was a strange team stationed outside the city of Bianliang, which was the Liaodong Army, known as the king-sustaining king, from Pinglu Youzhou.

The Khitan country was named Liao. The Pinglu area was called Liaodong because it was located east of the Great Liao and far away from the Central Plains. It was called Liaodong. It started at this time.

They have been struggling to leave for a month and have to send people to the city to ask for food and money every day. Chen Shou regarded it as a big concern and specially transferred troops from Hedong to defend.

Is Liaodong miserable? It's very bitter, mainly due to the severe cold of winter. Is Liaodong poor? It's not poor at all.

There are thousands of hectares of fertile land in Youyan, and the white mountains and black waters in Liaodong are even more fertile and have a vast land and sparse population. The Liaodong army has a natural chasm of the Great Wall, and has defeated the four barbarians to surrender, and the Khitan dared not go south rashly.

They had long enslaved the Jurchens outside the Great Wall, Dangxiang and Siren, and had frequent trade deals with Goryeo and Japan, and made countless profits.

They sent a group of people to station outside Bianliang City, and their intentions were really unimaginable.

As one of the two strongest combat forces, Chen Shou believed that the local snakes in Liaodong must have seen that the Great Qi Dynasty was suffering from all kinds of diseases and the troubled times were about to break out.

They laid a nail into the heart of the Central Plains, making Chen Shou uneasy to sleep.

Zhang Zhengyuan led his men to the mountain road outside the city and saw a group of majestic soldiers on both sides of the Bian River, digging ice and drinking horses.

They looked at each other, and after a while, several heavy riders blocked Zhang Zhengyuan's path.

"Who are you?"

Behind Zhang Zhengyuan, a majestic man jumped out of the horse, "We are Hedong soldiers and horses, and we are ordered to enter Beijing. Why are you stopping us?"

"This is our camp. If you want to pass by here, you must leave money to pass."

Yue Peng's forehead burst out with blue veins: "Absurd! The soldiers and horses of Daqi were ordered to be mobilized in Daqi. What else should I pay for passing money? Are you just having fun?"

"It's just a matter of entertainment. If you ask you to hand it over, you'll be fine. Be careful that my mace will beat you up."

Yue Peng is very irritable, and his whole family is even more irritable after being harmed by the White Lotus Sect.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhengyuan quickly spoke out: "Yue Peng, come back."

Zhang Zhengyuan knew these people, and the letter Zhongyong Hou gave him was clearly stated.

The reason why people like me came to Kaifeng Prefecture was to guard against these Liaodong soldiers who were like dog skin plaster.

Zhang Zhengyuan waved his hand, and the personal soldiers around him waved the order flags, and they rested on the spot. In a short time, they actually felt the spirit of a ban on orders.

He called three Taoist priests and instructed: "You go to the city, find the Zhongyong Marquis, explain the situation here, and let him make an idea. We are not willing to make our own decisions outside the capital, at the foot of the emperor."

The three nodded and took the order and left.

The large army and the baggage could not get through, but the three of them had no problem taking a detour and soon entered the city. Follow the street to the Chen Mansion. After revealing their identity, they were taken by a personal soldier to the water pavilion in the inner courtyard.

There was a faint laugh of a woman on the rise, and the personal soldiers whispered, "You guys are here for a while, I'll go and report it."

The three of them stood in a proper manner under the water pavilion. After a while, the personal soldiers came downstairs and led the three of them upstairs.

A young man sat in the upper head of the building, touching the armrest of the chair. Judging from his clothes, he should be the owner of this place, the Zhongyong Hou they were looking for.

"I've met the Marquis."

Chen Shou nodded and asked, "Are you Zhang Zhengyuan's people?"

"That's right. Marquis, we were ordered to return to the capital, but we were stopped by a group of barbarians on the bank of the Bianliang River and insisted on asking us for money to pass by. Commander Zhang said that this place was at the foot of the emperor, and he did not dare to make his own decisions and asked us to ask for instructions. What should we do?"

Chen Shou sneered: "Passing money? He is so robbery."

Chen Shou knew very well that the Liaodong Army was not short of money at all. They were just trying to cause trouble here, so that they could not help but attack them, and then find a suitable reason for the Liao people to enter the pass.

Liaodong is strong and ambitious, which is very difficult.

Money cannot be given. If you give this money, it is obvious that it is weak and can be bullied.

At that time, these birds might just collect all tolls and treat Bianliang as their money tree.

But if you don’t give it, you have to take a detour. The army will take a detour, and the momentum will be a little weaker, which will most likely encourage the arrogance of these people.

Chen Shou rubbed his forehead and thought carefully. What was the best way to achieve both worlds? After thinking about it, his brain hurts, but he still has no idea.

"You ask Zhang Zhengyuan to station on the spot first, then station next to them, and wait for my order."

The three of them took the order and left, and Chen Shou began to ponder again.

He got up and walked to the railing, looked down and saw his yard. In the small courtyard in the northwest corner, a man was feeding something to a black donkey.

The inner courtyard is almost full of female relatives, with one exception, Doctor Liu.

Because he was a palace servant, and his concubine's elder brother, and had medical skills, he moved in to protect him.

Later, because it was convenient for the family to see a doctor and take care of this doctor's illegitimate, Chen Shou simply let him live in the yard.

He waved his hand, and Taoer poured a cup of hot tea from the burning small mud stove, and Chen Shou picked up the teacup and drank it.

After drinking, he suddenly laughed and clapped his hands and said, "I have it."

"Master, what's there?" Tao'er thought tea was wrong and asked with her head tilted.

Chen Shou ignored her, went downstairs excitedly and headed straight to Dr. Liu's small courtyard.

"Miscellaneous Doctor, Miracle Doctor, what are you doing?"

Doctor Liu was a little embarrassed and scratched his head and said, "I have made a new prescription. I'm going to try it. There is no suitable person. This donkey looks stronger...hehe."

Chen Shou hugged his shoulder and said affectionately: "What medicine is it?"

"Treat the stomach and intestines."

After saying that, the donkey kept pulling and the sound of puffing was endless.

Chen Shou felt a little disgusted, but he was even more happy. Doctor Liu felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was the donkey from the Chen family.

"I...hehe, don't worry, sir, this donkey will be fine in a few days."

Chen Shou asked: "I want to make thousands of people swell. Is there any way?"

"If we can find the source of water they drink, there will naturally be a way."

"Good brother, it's a good thing to harm others. I did not misunderstand you."

Doctor Liu:...

Three days later, a group of people came to Zhang Zhengyuan's camp on the side of the Bian River, pushing trucks of food and grass.

Without any accident, many of these rewards were detained by Liaodong soldiers closer to the city.

The remaining people kept shouting and scolding, and pushed the remaining cars to Zhang Zhengyuan's camp.

The soldiers in the village cursed the Liao soldiers on the other side through the wooden fence.

When the Liaodong soldiers benefited from it, they were complacent and proud, and the scolding was even more unpleasant.

Several people entered Zhang Zhengyuan's tent and took out a secret letter from his arms. After reading it, Zhang Zhengyuan couldn't help laughing out loud, then took the secret letter to the torch money, and lit it and burned it.

"You guys go back and tell the Marquis, and you just say I understand. You must do this well."

Soon, Zhangying set up a few large pots and buried them in the pot to make rice.

A curling smoke rose, and few people noticed that there were a few of them burning some herbs in the numerous pots.

Zhang Zhengyuan looked at the pots, laughed out loud from time to time, and secretly ordered the soldiers around him.

The next morning, just now, a group of people in Zhangying got up early and poured a few herbs in the pot into the river.

The Liaodong soldiers who were fetching water downstream did not notice it at all. They still fetched water and drank horses, boiled water and cooked.

Before noon, there were constant wails in the camp downstream, and the stench was shaking.

The man and the horse were all frantically flew. The Liao general in the lead looked a little pale, his lips were dry, and he covered his stomach with anger and pain.

But he himself was not very energetic and could not even get angry. He roared loudly and scolded several of the leading soldiers.

After being tortured for a few days, these people finally recovered. The fierce and powerful people and war horses in the past were a little weak.

Soon, the fear of being dominated by stomachache came again, this time just like last time.

This incident even alarmed the officials in Bianliang City, and the Ministry of War sent people to visit them.

The Liao general He Hu, who had been tortured to the point of being incredibly tortured, was probably the one who was involved in the crimes of the officials in Bianliang, and it was hateful that there was no evidence.

People from the Ministry of War came to express their condolences, but they were not accustomed to the local conditions.

He Hu couldn't say anything about his suffering, and he had to drink the water from the Bian River and not eat the surrounding food.

My subordinates just want to make trouble at this time and don’t have the energy anymore.

The Ministry of War re-produced the old tune and asked them to withdraw their troops. He Hu thought that if he didn't leave, he might not be able to go back.

If you die in a foreign land and be labeled as an excuse for being unacceptable to the local conditions, you will die with your eyes open.

He Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

The people of Bianliang sent these domineering and arrogant barbarian soldiers away like the plague god, and the officials were relieved.
