Qian Song

Chapter 170 From now on, the king will not go to court early (ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

If Li Renjie didn't come to remind Li Cun, Li Cun almost forgot, what about the queen, concubine and princess of the Li Dynasty?
This is one of the badges of honor of the monarch who destroyed the country. Li Cun doesn't care if others want it, anyway, he definitely wants it.

However, Li Cun was a little hesitant. Even if Li Gande didn't look seventy, he must be sixty. Could it be that his queen, concubine, and princess are not too young?
But Li Cun thought again, Li Renjie shouldn't play tricks on himself, otherwise, wouldn't he be looking for death?
So Li Cun asked Liu Xuan to call Li Renjie.

Soon after, the handsome Li Renjie came to see him.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Renjie trotted all the way to Li Cun, bowed to the ground, his buttocks were raised high, and he dared not look at Li Cun, who was still lying on Li Qiandelong's bed, and Shi Honggu, who was sitting on Li Cun's buttocks and massaged Li Cun. With a glance, he said very respectfully: "The guilty minister Li Renjie pays his respects to the governor."

Li Cun asked bluntly, "Where is the person?"

Upon hearing this, Li Renjie hurriedly said, "It's in the side hall at the back, and it has been taken over by the governor's personal guard."

When Li Cun heard this, he felt that these queens, concubines, and princesses were already in his hands, so why don't you, Li Renjie, give them something? Aren't they all mine sooner or later?

Li Renjie also knew that he was not in his hands, and he lacked the confidence to contribute, so he immediately added: "The guilty minister dare not be greedy, but if the criminal is not smart, when the army surrounds the palace, Li Gande will kill him." A group of concubines and princesses burned the palace..."

Although Li Renjie kept saying that he didn't dare to be greedy for credit, he still took advantage of this opportunity he had finally won to explain everything he had done in full.

Only then did Li Cun know that if he could get a complete palace, Li Gande would surrender to him. It was all thanks to Li Renjie. These civil and military ministers opened the palace gate and surrendered.

It was Li Renjie who "protected" the queens, concubines, and princesses of the Li Dynasty, as well as the Zong family who fled to the palace for refuge.

Hearing this, Li Cun looked at Chen Kuopong who was sitting in the corner drinking tea and reading a book.

Chen Kuutong immediately walked over knowingly, and then lowered his voice and said to Li Cun: "This person is the adopted son of Li Changjie, the former Li Chao inspector Taiwei..."

After Chen Kuutong's introduction, Li Cuncai knew that Li Renjie was not only the No. 1 military officer of the Li Dynasty, but his family also had a very powerful influence in the Li Dynasty, especially the Li Dynasty's military.

Li Renjie's adoptive father, Li Changjie, launched three wars against Champa and led troops to invade the Song Dynasty.

Li Renjie's biological father, Li Changxian, was Li Changjie's younger brother. Because of Li Changjie's protection, the father and son developed very quickly in Li Chao's army, and later inherited Li Chao's core army from Li Changjie.

After Li Changxian's death, Li Renjie became the No. 1 in the Li Dynasty's military, and his power was overwhelming.

The battle of Lang Son and the battle of defending Thang Long City were actually fought by Li Renjie.

It may be that Li Renjie knew that he had caused Li Chao to lose to such an extent that he must be doomed on Li Chao's side, so he took the remnants of his defeated soldiers and dedicated Li Chao's palace.

In order to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, Li Renjie also "protected" all the queens, concubines, princesses and Zong's daughters of the Li Dynasty, and dedicated them to Li Cun as certificates of nomination.

In order to show that he really made great contributions, Li Renjie took the initiative to tell Li Cun: "Li Qian's morality is immoral, and the sky hates him, so that he has no children before the age of 40. After the age of 40, a genius doctor from your country traveled here. , Li Gande was cured with magic medicine, and Li Gande had seven daughters in five years, and then Li Gande was completely inhumane and childless for life..."

Following Li Renjie's narration, Li Cun, including Chen Kuutong, who had thoroughly grasped the information of the important figures in the Li Dynasty, learned that there were three queens in the Li Dynasty, Queen Lanying, Queen Qintian, Queen Zhenbao, and These three may also be Empress Chu.

In the sixth year of Daqing in Huixiang, the ruling and opposition parties in the Li Dynasty talked a lot about Li Gande's childlessness, which made the situation in the Li Dynasty turbulent.

At that time, Li Gande was about to turn [-], not only had no children, but he had not even had a daughter for almost four years.

Moreover, Li Gande's queen at the time had passed away long ago, and his concubines were generally over 35 years old, past the best childbearing age for women.

In order to silence Yoyo, Li Gande ordered Li Chao's Ministry of Rites to select beauties across the country.

Finally, through layers of selection, 39 beauties entered the palace.

——Li Gande accepted three queens and 36 imperial concubines in one breath, and assumed a posture that he would not stop until he gave birth to a son, and the turmoil gradually stopped.

But this matter only stopped for a year or two, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Li Dynasty became agitated again because Li Qiande had no heirs and Li Dynasty had no heirs.

The reason is that these 39 beauties have been in the palace for more than a year, but there is still no movement in the harem.

Not only that, but it was also rumored from the palace that Li Gande never went to rest with the three queens and 36 concubines he had newly recruited. She glanced.

Seeing that things could not go on, Li Gande could only issue an edict to adopt the eldest son, which said: "I have no heirs in my life, and now I have passed the year of my destiny. Who can pass on the most important things in the world? Chongxian, Chengqing, and others should be adopted. The sons of Cheng Guang, Cheng Zhao, and Cheng Xinghou will choose the one who is good to be the heir of the emperor."

A few months later, Li Gande selected Li Yanghuan, the son of Chongxianhou, as the crown prince from among the eldest sons, and the turmoil caused by the emperor's childlessness was truly subsided.

Since then, Li Gande has even stopped seeing his concubines.

Therefore, both inside and outside the Li Dynasty, Li Gande's 39 concubines were all Chu women, and it was also said that Li Gande's concubines were not to be enjoyed during his lifetime, but to be buried with them and enjoyed after death.

This made Li Cun amazed.

Li Renjie said to Li Cun: "Li Gande has seven daughters, three of whom are already married as wives, but the governor does not need to worry, the son-in-law and his son, the criminal ministers have been dealt with by the governor, but his female criminal minister is the governor. left behind."

Li Renjie also said: "The Zong family in the Li Dynasty was not prosperous. There were only five branches: Chongxian, Chengqing, Chengguang, Chengzhao, and Chengxinghou. There are three pairs of mu and neodymium."

In the end, Li Renjie also reminded Li Cun: "The criminal minister heard that the governor is willing to reward his ministers and women. You must not reward the courtiers, even if the governor is unwilling to be lucky, you must also keep them in the palace, and you must not let the courtiers peep at them. You must know that ambitions are slowly growing. .”

Li Cunzhen didn't know what to say about a traitor who was so considerate.

Li Cun even had the idea of ​​"or delete him and keep him by my side as a eunuch".

Of course, this is not possible.

If Li Cun really did this, who would dare to vote for Li Cun in the future?

In the end, Li Cun ordered: Stop ransacking Li Renjie's home, grant Li Renjie the title of "Bo of Saigon", reward Li Renjie with a mansion in Hangzhou, and allow Li Renjie's family to move to Hangzhou.

joke.

Li Renjie's actions are true to Li Cun's thoughts, but this person is too cruel, how can Li Cun rest assured that he will stay in Annan?

For Li Cun's reward, not only did Li Renjie not blame or secretly resent that Li Cun didn't trust him, but he felt relieved.

The things he did should not be done by courtiers or even human beings.

Therefore, even if he stayed in Annan, he would definitely not be able to make much trouble.

Not only that, but those who are still loyal to Li Chao definitely want to get rid of him soon.

The point is, when he took this step, he had already thought about it. His official career must be over—as a military commander, he lost all the country, and as a courtier, he dedicated the queen, concubine, princess, and Zong's daughter to the enemy country. The supreme leader, who will use him to fight wars or govern the country?

So his only expectation for the rest of his life is to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Fortunately, Li Cun did not disappoint him, and really gave him everything he wanted.

Moreover, he concluded that as long as Li Cun does not lose his power for a day, he will definitely be able to continue to be prosperous and wealthy.

You know, he is no longer a person, but a signboard—a signboard for recruiting surrender.

With him around, it might be much easier for the Huben army to recruit and surrender in the future.

He believed that the wise and wise Li Cun would definitely understand this truth.

However, just to be on the safe side, Li Renjie took the initiative to say: "I have three daughters, all of whom have the appearance of a closed moon and shameful flowers. I am willing to dedicate the three of them together to the governor."

How could Li Cun refuse such a good thing?
Besides, this can also calm Li Renjie's heart.

Therefore, Li Cun agreed, and reciprocated Li: "Your family members know very well about Li Chao's affairs, first call some of them to Chen Yu's place, and make an expedient text with Chen Yu. When I return to Hangzhou, your family will return with me."

Hearing what Li Cun said, Li Renjie's heart immediately relaxed.

Li Renjie knew that his official career must have come to an end, but his son might serve in the Huben Army, and his three daughters entered Li Cun's harem, so there should be hope for his family.

Li Renjie was grateful for Dade's response and said, "No." Then he proceeded tactfully.

Soon after, all the queens, concubines, princesses and Zong's daughters of the Li Dynasty were brought before Li Cun.

Also came Li Renjie's three daughters.

Looking at the more than 100 beauties of Li Chao, Li Cun couldn't help feeling: "After power and power, it's so easy for this woman to get!"

However, after just feeling a little bit, Li Cun put the unnutritious emotion behind him, and then focused on these beauties.

It has to be said that, indeed, after several generations of genetic improvement of beauties, none of these empresses, imperial concubines, princesses and Zong's daughters are ugly.

But then again, there is a gap between beauty and beauty.

And among these beauties of the Li Dynasty, the most beautiful ones should be the first three queens and the next five or six.

As for the ten or so beauties, the most beautiful one should be Queen Lan Ying who stands in the C position and is somewhat similar to the number one beauty of Vietnam in later generations.

Seeing her, Li Cun just wanted to say: "It's a blessing to see the queen. I wonder if the queen would like to share the bed with me?"

To make a long story short.

The spring night is bitter, the day is high, and the king will not go to court early...

……

Just when Li Cun was in the imperial palace of the Li Dynasty, Zhao Ji, who was far away in Bianliang City, Tokyo, had no intention of touching his thousands of beauties at all.

After Yang Keshi crossed the border without authorization and returned after being defeated in Langoudian, because Yang Keshi was Tong Guan's confidant, Tong Guan didn't want to punish Yang Keshi, so he sent Yang Keshi to Zhong Shidao.

And Yang Keshi is not only Tong Guan's confidant and favorite general, because Yang Keshi is upright, has a strong character, and is brave in battle, he is known as "the enemy of ten thousand people". Zhong Shidao also likes Yang Keshi very much.

Under the maintenance of Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao, this matter finally turned into a minor matter, and Yang Keshi was just transferred from the West Route Army to the East Route Army.

Not long after, someone came to report that there were Liao people lining up on the north bank of Baigou River.

Zhong Shidao summoned General Song and reiterated Tong Guan's highest instruction: "Everyone in Yan is my Song citizen, and they are of the same species and origin. If you come to vote, you can go forward and accept them. The Khitan has undergone changes, so we must not cross the border to kill people and disturb the people."

Therefore, Zhong Shidao ordered all the armies to restrain the soldiers and obey Zhao Ji's three border patrol policies and the orders of Xuan Fusi.

Soon, the Liao army deployed defenses on the north bank of the Baigou River, and the two sides became confrontational across the bank.

The commander-in-chief of the Liao Kingdom on the north bank of the Baigou River was still Yelu Dashi.

After Yelu Dashi defeated Yang Keshi in Langoudian, Yelu Chun mobilized a group of recruits from the Yan people and allocated [-] to Yelu Dashi.

Yanyun is close to the grassland and has many horses, while the Liao people grew up on horseback and are good at riding and shooting.

Therefore, although the 3 horses in Yelu Dashi's hands are mostly recruits, their combat power is not weak.

The point is that they are already at the bottom of the boat - after losing Yanjing, they don't know where they can go.

Therefore, the Liao army, which could no longer afford to lose, became an imposing mourning army.

There is a bridge built on the Baigou River, named "Baigou Bridge".

To the south of Baigou Bridge is the Song Army, and to the north of Baigou Bridge is the Liao Army.

Not long after the confrontation, Zhao Ming carried out the order issued by the Xuanfu Department, and sent people to set up several yellow board banners in the middle of Baigou Bridge to call for surrender.

At the same time, Zhao Ming sent someone to shout to the Liao people on the north bank to come and surrender.

The Liao people felt that this was a great shame and humiliation, and Yelu Dashi was even more angry: "We must fight to the death!", and then ordered to attack the Song army.

The Liao army immediately shot at the Song army on the other side of the river, and arrows shot at the Song army overwhelmingly.

The Song army was unprepared, and there were countless casualties in a short while.

Zhao Ming also dared not fight back under the orders of Zhao Ji, Xuan Fusi and Zhong Shidao.

Seeing that the Song army did not dare to fight back, the Liao army made an inch of progress and began to gather troops to cross the river to fight the Song army.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming immediately sent someone to report the situation on the front line to Zhong Shidao.

After listening to Master Zhongdao, he ordered decisively: "Since the weapon is received, An Neng will die with his hands tied? If the Liao army crosses the border, they will fight back. The victory is meritorious."

He Shen, the vice commander of the Eastern Route Army, hastily stopped him: "The official decree and Tong Xuanfu's military law have already stated that you cannot fight back and start a war."

A group of Song generals could no longer stand this bullshit order that they could only be beaten and could not fight back. They said angrily: "Yanjing can be recovered without a fight. It is a big joke in the world, and it is a big fallacy in the world. When you are in the world, you want our generation to fight back!" What are you doing here?"

All the generals did not listen to He Shen's words, and went out to fight one after another.

Yang Keshi, eager to avenge his revenge, took the lead in the battle.

Soon, the two sides fought together on the south bank of the Baigou River.

Yang Keshi took the lead, and was hit by a barbed arrow, wounding his bones and bleeding all over his boots, but he still stared angrily, held the reins with his teeth, and fought desperately with the Liao army.

In the end, Yang Keshi lost two of his teeth and was hit by an arrow in his chest.

But Yang Keshi still killed dozens of Liao soldiers.

However, because the Song army faced the enemy hastily, it was still unavoidable.

Moreover, the armor of the Liao army is complete and very sophisticated, and the Song army's swords are difficult to hurt.

Fortunately, the kind of teacher has rich experience, and he has already prepared a giant stick for self-defense.

The armor of the Liao army could not withstand the blow of blunt weapons, and the Song army beat the Liao army back to the other side of the Baigou River.

In fact, both sides in this battle have their own winners and losers, and it is hard to say who has the upper hand.

At night.

Yelu Dashi wanted to sneak attack Zhong Shidao.

Zhong Shidao ordered that the soldiers should go to sleep, and he ordered people to beat drums around the camp.

Yelu Dashi was afraid that the Song army would be prepared, so he dared not cross the river.

Moreover, Yelu Dashi was afraid that the Song army would suddenly kill him across the river, which would instead keep the Liao army up and down all night.

After dawn, Yelu Dashi came to the river in person, only to see that the Song army on the other side was completely defended, so that Yelu Dashi never dared to cross the river rashly to start a war with the Song army.

The Song and Liao armies continued to confront each other across the river.

On the same day, Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army of the Northern Liao Dynasty and the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, also suddenly launched an attack on the Song army on the western front in Fancun.

The former generals of the Song Army on the Western Front, Wang Yuan, Liu Guangyuan, Zhai Jin, and Dong Pang'er each led their troops to fight against the Liao Army.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and it was hard to tell the winner.

Not long after, Zhong Zhong led the reinforcements to reinforce and personally supervised the battle. Seeing that he was defeated, Xiao Qian had no choice but to lead the Liao army back.

After the eastern and western armies fought against the Liao army, General Song generally believed that the Liao army was still strong, and that it would be difficult to win if the main force of the western army was not transferred. It is better to retreat first and fight again when it is ready.

Zhong Shidao thought it made sense, so he asked Tong Guan to see if he should retreat first.

In the face of it, after the fight, they didn't take any advantage at all, and seemed to suffer a bit. He Yanmin didn't welcome the king of the Song Dynasty to rescue them as He Shen said, and Beiliao detained Ma Kuo It doesn't look like he wants to call the Fan Ningbiao to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji's two strategies, the upper and the middle, seem to be unworkable, so Tong Guan decided to implement Zhao Ji's lower strategy, which is to retreat first, and then wait and see.

Therefore, Tong Guan ordered Zhong Shidao to lead the East Route Army back to Xiongzhou, and Zhong Shizhong to lead the West Route Army back to Guangxin Army.

Yang Keshi reminded Mr. Chong that the Liao army is already red-eyed, and if they withdraw, the Liao army is likely to pursue them.

Zhong Shidao then ordered that a large number of luggage be withdrawn quietly to the south, and then Zhong Shidao personally led the elite Song army to stop the pursuit of the Liao army in a place called Gucheng.

Sure enough, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian led their troops in pursuit, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand in the ancient city.

At this time, it is reflected that in field battles, infantry is indeed not the opponent of cavalry.

In short, the elite Song army led by Zhong Shidao, mainly infantry, was defeated by tens of thousands of cavalry led by Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian.

After tens of thousands of casualties, the Liao army defeated the Song army.

Then, under the leadership of Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian, the Liao army continued to go south to cover up and kill the Song army.

The Liao army pursued all the way to the city of Xiongzhou.

Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong and others will organize troops to fight the Liao army to the death.

Later, Tong Guan sent Xin Qizong and Xin Yongzong to lead the Shengjie army out of the city for reinforcements, and only then did they repel the 3 or [-] horses led by Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian.

Although Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian were repelled in the end, since the Liao army had already reached the city of Xiongzhou and caused tens of thousands of casualties to the Song army, it only had [-] to [-] casualties.

In this battle, the Liao army was undoubtedly defeated by the Song army.

After Beiliao won this victory, they despised the Song army even more, and were even more unwilling to call the Zhao Song Dynasty Fan Nabiao.

After the defeat of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, the image of a powerful country further collapsed.

The only chance for the Song and Liao countries is gone.

Zhao Ji was furious when he learned about this, how could he be in the mood to leave his concubines...
