"More than thirty cavalry were lost again?" Mouning Keren asked with a frown. He turned to look at Li Liangfu, "How come these fortune-telling people are in such chaos? There are random soldiers and thieves everywhere.
It actually invaded the general’s jurisdiction.”
After the loss of Shengwei City, Mouning Keren was transferred to Wulahai City to serve as military supervisor.
Li Liangfu was very tall, like an iron tower, with a big beard covering his entire face. His face was somber and uncertain that one could not tell whether he was happy or angry for a moment.
The complainant was bent over, his body trembling constantly, and beads of sweat dripped from his face to the ground, like continuous raindrops on a rainy day.
"Drag the useless things and chop them down!" Li Liangfu finally spoke.
The general fell to his knees with a thud and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, please spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
Mouning Keren's brows furrowed even more tightly, his eyes flickered a few times, but he still couldn't help but plead.
"Capital Commander, now is the time to employ people. Please spare him and let him serve his purpose."
Li Liangfu looked at Mou Ning Keren, a sneer flashed across his face, and then he said solemnly: "Since the military supervisor is interceding for you, your head will be sent for now. It's just that the death penalty can be spared, but the living crime cannot be escaped! Here comes someone.
, drag this guy down and give him thirty military sticks!"
Seeing the general lowering his head and letting his soldiers drag him down, with resentment flashing in his eyes, Mouning Keren felt that he needed to have a good talk with Li Liangfu.
"Capital Commander, the situation in the north is unclear, we must be vigilant."
Li Liangfu glanced at Mou Ning Keren with his eyes raised, and said with a smile: "The situation is unclear? In my opinion, the situation is very clear. The Song army wanted to take a detour and sneak attack on us, but Beiliao encouraged Kerie and Ta
The Ta'er people ambushed them halfway, and the melee broke out. Thousands of kilograms of Tatars escaped from the headquarters pasture and went to my field to fight the autumn wind, which is proof."
Having said this, Li Liangfu sneered and said, "I have to say that over the years, the Khitan people have become more and more skilled at killing people with borrowed knives."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Mou Ning Keren sideways, as if it was not the Khitan who borrowed the knife to kill, but him.
Mouning Keren said uneasily: "These information come from various sources and cannot be corroborated. I still suggest that we directly send spies to the north to take a look on the ground."
Li Liangfu shook his head: "What's there to find out? Mobei is not like that! A group of extremely vicious people have been killing each other for hundreds of years. If the Khitan people throw away a dog bone, the divination people will behave like dogs.
Jump on it."
"Du Tongjun, at least we need to know where Song's Suzaku Army is." Mouning Keren said anxiously.
"Where? We are stuck in a quagmire on the Mobei grassland! In that area, everyone is extremely vicious. When you see the big fat sheep of the Song Army, you have to rush forward with a knife."
"With the unified army, wouldn't it be possible that the Song people took the opportunity to attack various tribes and unify Mobei?" Mouning Keren asked with a bad look on his face.
Li Liangfu raised his head and laughed: "Haha-haha!"
He laughed so hard that he could hardly stand upright, and finally wiped away his tears and said: "This is the funniest joke I have heard this year. You and I don't know how cruel those Tatars in Mobei are. The Khitans all used them.
There is no way, how can the Song people conquer them?"
Mouning Keren replied coldly: "The Khitan people can't do anything to us, but the Song people force us into trouble. Isn't it enough?"
Li Liangfu's expression changed, and a fierce light shone in his eyes, which flashed on Mouning Keren's face several times, and finally said coldly: "The Song people are rampant, but they haven't met me. As long as they dare to come, I will call them."
There’s no coming back!”
After that, he waved his sleeves and left.
Mouning Keren looked at Li Liangfu's retreating figure and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He knew that although Li Liangfu was brave and good at fighting and a rare good general, he was greedy for money and arrogant, and now he had a tendency to support his troops with self-respect.
In order to defend the Northern Liao Dynasty, starting from Jingzong (Li Yuanhao), the imperial court stationed 70,000 elite cavalry in Muna Mountain. However, nearly a hundred years later, only 30,000 of these 70,000 cavalry are left.
After receiving the notification from Princess Helan, all 30,000 cavalrymen were gathered in Wu Lahai City to guard against the Song Dynasty's Suzaku Army invading from the north.
However, the general Li Liangfu did not take the Song army seriously. He even eagerly looked forward to the early arrival of the Song army so that he could defeat the Song army and become a major contributor to saving Xixia from overthrow.
And he suffered a defeat in Shengwei City and lost the city, so he was naturally looked down upon by Li Liangfu.
"Commander of the Army, Li Liangfu is too arrogant." Wei Baoyu, the general guarding Wu Lahaicheng, said angrily.
"He has won your Majesty's trust and has led troops in Hebei for many years. He has outstanding military achievements and is a bit arrogant. It is natural." Mouning Keren said calmly.
"The Supervisor of the Army, he now dominates the Weifu Army in Montenegro. Now he is surrounded by a group of Liao businessmen. In the past two years, relying on Li Liangfu's protection, he has made a lot of money through smuggling and trafficking. There were several cases of smuggling of military rations last year.
Bingjia Dagu, this is the way to go."
Hearing this, Mouning turned around abruptly and asked Wei Baoyu: "Do you have any evidence?"
"They were too cautious. My subordinates only heard rumors and didn't catch any evidence." Wei Baoyu quickly lowered his head and replied.
"The Xingqing Mansion has also heard the news, but there is no evidence. This is a critical moment. How could your Majesty and the court investigate and punish the general at the border for some groundless rumors? This will shake the morale of the military."
Listening to Mouning Keren's profound words, Wei Baoyu knew it was enough to stop and quickly replied: "I understand."
After saying that, he asked again with a somewhat meritorious expression: "Military Supervisor, I sent someone to quietly go north a few days ago, but I don't know what happened, and I haven't received a reply yet. Do you want me to send someone again?"
People going north?"
"Keep sending!"
"Yes, I will make arrangements now!"
Looking at Wei Baoyu's hurried away figure, Mouning Keren's eyes flashed with a complicated expression.
His guard captain Jie Youdun came forward and whispered: "The military supervisor, Wei Baoyu is right. Li Liangfu refuses to send people north to inquire about the news. There must be something fishy in it."
"What's strange is that it's not just greed that caused them to believe the slander. The Northern Liao merchants around Li Liangfu tried their best to dissuade them, saying that by sending people northward, they might help other people in the court find out the relationship with Kile, Naiman, and Borji.
By then, Jin and other tribes’ trade routes will no longer be able to do exclusive business.”
"Exclusive business?"
"Yes, exclusive business!" Mouning Keren sighed, "Those Northern Liao merchants have great magical powers. They imported a large amount of goods from Qinchuan, Hedong, and other places in the Song Dynasty, and smuggled them from Henan, Yunnan and other places to this place, and then transported them to the north.
They were transported and sold to tribes in Mobei for huge profits. Li Liangfu made a lot of money from it."
Jietou Dun looked in disbelief, "Is this why Li Liangfu doesn't want to send people north to find out the military situation?"
"That's right. He is worried that among the spies going north, some of my people will steal business from him if they find out the trade routes of the Mobei tribes. Business with the Mobei grassland tribes is regarded as forbidden by him.
Don’t allow others to get involved.”
"Military Supervisor, is this the same thing? How can this be compared with the military intelligence of ascertaining the movements of the Song army? It's not the same thing at all!" Jie Tiaodun became anxious.
"But in Li Liangfu's heart, the Song army's movements were not as important as controlling the Mobei grassland trade route. Moreover, the Liao people's caravan brought him very detailed information. The Song Dynasty's Suzaku Army and the Ke
Lie, Tatar people and other tribes were fighting inextricably close to the Baidala River. Both sides suffered heavy losses, and the Khitans reaped the benefits!"
"Military Supervisor, is this military information credible?"
"Li Liangfu believes!" Mouning Keren said coldly, "Maybe half of the Liao businessmen around Li Liangfu are from the Song Dynasty!"
Jie Yandun's expression changed, and he was even more shocked than before. At this time, he did not dare to speak casually. He just looked at the master nervously and said in a low voice: "What...what should I do?"
Mouning Keren stood on the low tower of Wu Lahai City, looking at the vast northern land in the distance. He spoke after a long time, with endless helplessness and grief in his tone.
Reading with rice balls
"Jie Yudun, do you know why Li Liangfu is so determined and unmoving?"
"I don't know," Jie Tiaodun replied cautiously.
"I think those merchants from Northern Liao must have given him reassurance. If the situation gets bad, he can take his troops and defect to Northern Liao. Thirty thousand cavalry and governor Jiedushi can do it."
Listening to Mou Ning Keren's words with waning spirits, Jie Youdun felt that a huge boulder was pressing on his chest, making him unable to breathe.
He looked at the boundless northern land and couldn't help but feel sad. Why did Gaoguo become a broken ship that everyone despised? This chapter has been completed!
