Chapter 252 Breaking the Army Star
…
Zong Ze escaped.
No one expected that Zong Ze, who seemed to be old, was a top master. He killed all the twenty or so people who took care of him, and then he quietly escaped from Dengzhou City.
When Li Yan learned that Zong Ze had escaped, he remained silent for a long time.
Li Yan really wanted to change Zong Ze's fate. He didn't want Zong Ze, the backbone of the Han people, to shout three times in a row, "Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!" and then passed away suddenly.
However, some things cannot develop according to Li Yan's wishes.
Let’s talk about Zong Ze.
After escaping, Zong Ze found his son Zong Ying, and spent a night writing a report about Li Yan's capture of Dengzhou and occupying nearly half of Goryeo's territory, accompanied by his response (the general idea is to wipe out the strongholds of the Shuibo Liangshan in China, and the army stationed in Dengzhou to prevent Li Yan from immigrating, and send a large army to the peninsula to wipe out Li Yan. If necessary, they can join forces with Goryeo to wipe out Li Yan. From Zong Ze's response, it is not difficult to see that in Zong Ze's view, Li Yan is more dangerous than Tian Hu, Wang Hu, and Fang La. If Li Yan can be completely wiped out, he can even help the Goryeo people, because the Goryeo people will not come to seize the territory of the Song Dynasty, nor will it become a major concern of the Song Dynasty.), and then sent Zong Ying to submit the report to Tokyo Bianliang.
Zong Ying did not dare to be negligent. The next day, he rode a horse to look at Tokyo Bianliang before dawn. He stayed overnight and did not dare to delay for a moment. He arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture in more than ten days, and then submitted Zong Ze's report, and then it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
It was not until more than a month later that Liang Shicheng saw the report that was pressed to the bottom.
Let me explain it here that it is not that Liang Shicheng is passive and lazy, but that Zong Ze has a problem with his identity.
Zong Ze is now in a position to be guilty, so his retribution naturally has to be put at the end. There are so many things happening in a country, especially now it is still a turbulent period.
Therefore, Zong Ze's report was delayed until now that Liang Shicheng saw it.
Liang Shicheng took it and saw that Goryeo was divided into three parts, and some of them were occupied by a group of bandits from the Song Dynasty. This was a big deal, so Liang Shicheng went to Zhao Ji to report without saying a word. As for the response measures written by Zong Ze, Liang Shicheng only took a look, said three words "take it for granted", and then threw them aside.
It's not a matter of course.
The two battlefields of the north and west are consumed tens of millions of dollars every year.
How can the Song Dynasty have money to open a battlefield in the east?
Moreover, Zong Ze also wanted to go to Goryeo to suppress bandits!
Isn't this crazy? Going to Goryeo to suppress bandits is an expedition. The military expenditure is too much to calculate. Not to mention anything else, just building a ship, you have to spend tens of millions of chunks of money.
Disaster relief.
Suppressing bandits.
Build Wansui Mountain for Zhao Ji.
There are large amounts of expenses everywhere.
Where can the Song Dynasty have any money?
And money is only one aspect, there are soldiers.
Although he didn't care about the soldiers, Liang Shicheng also knew that the Song Dynasty actually did not have many soldiers. What did he use to open a battlefield in the east? What did he use to go for an expedition?
When Liang Shicheng found Zhao Ji, more than 2,000 Taoist priests had just held a Thousand Dao Meeting in Shangqing Baozhu Palace and listened to Lingsu's announcement. At this time, Zhao Ji was setting up a big vein to entertain a group of "gods" from the Song Dynasty, and discussed that Taoist priests in the world could not welcome the yamen, county officials, and supervisors to meet each other, and they all followed the elders' laws.
Zhao Ji said: "This method is the best, I will issue an order tomorrow."
At this moment, Liang Shicheng came.
Even though he was so powerful that Liang Shicheng could not be negligent when he saw these "gods". Instead, he gave a tribute to the crime before reporting to Zhao Ji about the matter of Goryeo's division into three parts.
After listening to Liang Shicheng's report, Zhao Ji was also surprised and couldn't help but say, "Gali lost a small part of territory? Or was it taken away by the bandit Li Yan?"
It’s not that Zhao Ji was so surprised. You know, a year ago, Goryeo sent envoys to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji went to the Youwen Palace to sign a Jinshi for the Goryeo and also gave Goryeo sacrificial utensils. Not that just over a year later, Goryeo was only half left!
Lin Lingsu rolled his eyes and said, "Congratulations to the leader, Emperor Daojun, and congratulate the leader, Emperor Daojun!"
Zhao Ji was puzzled: "Master, where does this joy come from?"
Lin Lingsu smiled and said, "Isn't it a great joy to open up the territory by Emperor Daojun?"
"this……"
It’s not that Zhao Ji couldn’t understand what Lin Lingsu meant, but that he was taking it too much?
There is a reason why Lin Lingsu said this.
In the past two years, there have been either severe drought or heavy floods. During this period, earthquakes occurred in Xihe, Huanqing and Jingyuan.
Good, Master Lin doesn’t know why there are so many disasters in the Song Dynasty. Could it be that some god is going to destroy the Song Dynasty?
No, no, no, this must not be done. His good days for Immortal Master Lin have just begun, but they cannot end like this.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Master Lin sincerely prays for the Song Dynasty, hoping that the Song Dynasty will get better and better.
pity!
The prayer seemed to have failed, and there was no sign of improvement in the disaster in the Song Dynasty.
This won't work.
Who would believe in Master Da Lin if this continues? After a long time, I am afraid that even Zhao Ji, the most devout believer, will lose it. At that time... the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, some achievements must be made so that he can maintain the position of Emperor Lingsu as the immortal master, and thus enjoy wealth and honor forever.
And this time is a good opportunity. Throughout history, for the emperor, the most dazzling achievement was to expand territory. If he could do this, then he would probably be able to be the position of Immortal Master Lin until his death.
After thinking through this, Lin Lingsu said: "Then Li Yan was reincarnated as a general who was in charge of the world. He was born to expand territory for the leader, Emperor Daojun."
After hearing Lin Lingsu said this, Zhao Ji was a little moved and said, "Can the Immortal Master be sure of this?"
Lin Lingsu bit to death and said, "Just just now, I had already watched the appearance of Li Yan with my eyes. It was indeed the character of Pojun. Congratulations to the leader, Emperor Daojun, for obtaining this powerful general who can dominate the world!"
Who doesn’t like to listen to good things, even if it’s a bit overwhelming.
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said, "What should I do?"
Lin Lingsu said: "It is not to lead but not come, push but not go, to force but not respond, to feeling but not moving, to stagnate but not flowing, to roll but not disperse, to the leader, Taoist emperor, just wait for good news."
Zhao Ji couldn't help but say, "Do I really need to do nothing?"
"If I do this for the government in danger, who else can move me?"
Thinking of this, Lin Lingsu bowed and said, "If the leader, Emperor Daojun is not at ease, I will go there in person and enlighten the Pojun star for the leader, Emperor Daojun, what if?"
When Zhao Ji heard the words, he hurriedly said, "How can this make the Thousand Daohui be held? The Immortal Chief still declares an edict, how can he go in person?"
Lin Lingsu said: "Hey~ The leader, Emperor Daojun, is the leader of my Taoist sect. I will run for the leader. Why shouldn't it be? And the Pojun Star also needs the power of the powerful to be used by the leader, Emperor Daojun."
After hearing what Lin Lingsu said, Zhao Ji no longer stopped him and said, "That's what Immortal Master is working hard."
