Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After hearing this, Chao Gai and Dong Ping gasped.Chao Gai said urgently: "Is this really true?"

It's no wonder that Chao Gai and the others are anxious, it's really that Li Chuwen wants to seek refuge with Song Dynasty, which will make Chao Gai and others lose their foothold again.

Because Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Dong Ping were rebels who raised the flag in the Song Dynasty and were wanted by the court!

If Li Chuwen succeeds in seizing power and dedicates the land of Yan to the Song Dynasty in exchange for his own glory and wealth, and Chao Gai and others fall into the hands of the Song court, there will be no good fruit to eat.

However, Liang Shanjun fought a bloody battle with the factions of Taiwei Tongguan and Taiwei Gaoqiu, and offended these two high-ranking Taiweis.In addition, there are quite a few officials from various states in Hebei, Shandong, and Huainan who suffered from the Liangshan Army. Chao Gai and others were really full of enemies in the Song Dynasty!

If Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others foolishly followed Li Chuwen to vote for Song Dynasty, they would not know that they would be killed by Tong Taiwei, Gao Taiwei and other officials!

For Chao Gai and others, they can take refuge in anyone, but they can't take refuge in Da Song!

Since the prime minister of the Liao Kingdom, Li Chuwen, wanted to vote for the Song Dynasty, he was no longer the benefactor of Chao Gai and others, but the enemy of the heroes in Liangshanbo.

Wu Yong came to Tanzhou this time, obviously not to help Li Chuwen, but to unite Chao Gai and others to fight him.

Chapter 8 and Five

Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Dong Ping all knew that they could not follow Li Chuwen to the dark, and took the city of Yanjing and dedicated it to Song Dynasty.

Chao Gai clasped his hands, looked at Wu Yong, and asked, "Military Master, then Li Chuwen's father and son are in high positions, and their power overwhelms the sky. You and I are guest generals living in the Liao Kingdom, how can we fight against him? Why don't you and my brother stand still here and wait and see what happens. If he really wants to take Daliao to Song Dynasty, you and my brother will lead the troops and leave?"

But Dong Ping said: "Although Li Chuwen is the prime minister, he is only a scholar. What do you know about leading troops in battle? Why don't your elder brother and younger brother set up their own troops to attack and kill Li Chuwen and hand over his dog's head to the emperor? It is also a great achievement." pieces!"

But Wu Yong shook his head, and said to Chao Gai and Dong Ping: "You two brothers, we can't wait and see what happens, and we can't attack and kill Li Chuwen alone.

I will wait and see what happens, after Li Chuwen takes control of the Liao Kingdom, he will definitely not be willing to quit with us, even if we want to leave, we will be surrounded by enemies, so we may not be able to escape.

What's more, we have also managed the Liao Kingdom for some time before we have the territory we have today. How can we throw it away so easily?

But with our strength alone, we can't defeat that Prime Minister Li Chuwen.

Li Chuwen sent Xiaosheng to come, but he only asked Xiaosheng to bring a message, but there was no letter of a word.With no evidence or evidence, how will a few Song people such as me win the trust of the emperor and sue the deeply rooted Li Chuwen family?

What's more, our teacher is unknown, and Li Chuwen counter-sued us, and nine out of ten we will be framed as rebellion.Yanjing City has a lot of soldiers and horses, with the troops and horses of Tanzhou, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat Li Chuwen.

What's more, if you are really falsely accused of being a rebel, not all the soldiers and horses in Tanzhou will obey our orders.

But for the present plan, we can only kill his attempt to vote for the Song Dynasty only by switching to the sect, taking refuge in Li Chuwen's political opponents, and taking advantage of the Liao Kingdom's internal strife! "

When Chao Gai heard this, he asked Wu Yong: "Military Master, who can fight against Li Chuwen, do you already have someone in mind?"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Brother, why did you forget Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army? I heard that King Xiao really appreciates the bravery of my brother and Dong Ping brothers!

King Xiao, as the king of the four armies, has powerful soldiers in his hands, and his status in the court is no less than that of Prime Minister Li Chuwen.He is also a man of Xi, and he shares weal and woe with the Khitan people, and he will not join the Han officials Li Chuwen and his like to vote for the Song Dynasty.

Now I might as well inform Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army stationed in Baigou, and help him defeat Li Chuwen's conspiracy. "

Wu Yong awakened the dreamer with a word, and Chao Gai and Dong Ping suddenly realized.

After thinking about it carefully, in this Liao Kingdom, the only ones who know and appreciate his two brothers are Prime Minister Li Chuwen and Fourth Army King Xiao Qian.Now that he wants to betray Li Chuwen, the person who should turn to him is King Xiao!

The three of them exchanged glances with each other, then they made up their minds to join Xiao Qian and expose Li Chuwen's conspiracy.

"Military Master, I'm waiting for my brother to make a big event together, why don't you let Mr. Yiqing come with you? If Mr. Yiqing was still by Li Chuwen's side when the incident happened, King Xiao would have no eyes for fighting the chaos!"

Chao Gai was more kind to his brothers, and suddenly remembered that Gongsun Sheng belonged to Li Chuwen, and couldn't help feeling a little worried about Gongsun Sheng's situation.

"Mr. Gongsun saved my life in Jeju, and we have to help Mr. Gongsun escape this time."

Dong Ping also gave a rare speech about loyalty.

Wu Yong said helplessly: "Brother Chao Gai, Brother Dong Ping, and Mr. Yiqing are my brothers. Of course Xiaosheng wants to help him. But, the time is too late!

It's not that Xiaosheng is careless, Mr. Yiqing is Li Chuwen's confidant after all, his friendship with Li Chuwen is probably deeper than that of my brothers in Liangshanpo!

I waited for my brother to turn against Li Chuwen, but I dared not let him know in advance.Brother, we can only try to rescue Mr. Yiqing after the matter is completed. "

Hearing Wu Yongzhi's words, Chao Gai felt that the old brothers on Liangshanbo are now their masters, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

However, what Wu Yong said is obviously reasonable, and Chao Gai is understandable about Wu Yong's concealment of Gongsun Sheng.

As for Dong Ping, he just said that casually.After all, Gongsun Sheng is the old brother of Chao Gai and Wu Yong, not his brother of Dong Ping.

"Military Master, where is Mr. Yiqing at this moment? Is he still practicing Taoism on the mountain?"

Chao Gai asked casually.

"Brother, Mr. Yiqing is in Li Chuwen's residence. When Xiaosheng came out from Li Chuwen's residence, he met Mr. Yiqing. I think Li Chuwen also has a secret mission for Mr. Yiqing!"

Wu Yong replied to Chao Gai.

Li Chuwen conspired with his brother and son, but he didn't tell Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and other subordinates all the secrets, but let them work separately.

Therefore, Wu Yong didn't know that Gongsun Sheng was going to Yizhou to contact foreign aid, and Gongsun Sheng didn't know that Wu Yong was coming to Tanzhou to move reinforcements.

"Hey~ I'm waiting for my brother, so I have to save Mr. Yiqing. After I help King Xiao put down the rebellion, we will intercede with King Xiao and save his life!"

Chao Gai told Wu Yong and Dong Ping.

"Brother Chao Gai, it should be so!"

Wu Yong and Dong Ping responded with one voice.

"Brother, we must keep an eye on He Tao in this matter, and ask him not to inform He Qing in advance, so as not to leak the news."

He Tao is also his own brother now, and Chao Gai and others don't want to hide it from him.But He Tao's younger brother, He Qing, was still with Gongsun Sheng, so Wu Yong had to remind him more.

"Military teacher, don't worry, Brother He Tao is a person who knows the importance."

Chao Gai said solemnly.

After He Tao followed Chao Gai and Dong Ping to station in Tanzhou, he showed his talents and was leading people across the mountains to investigate news and contact Xi people. Now he has become Chao Gai's capable general.

After getting along for a long time, Chao Gai also has a lot of trust in He Tao.

"That's good, one of the three of us must go to Baigou and report Li Chuwen's matter to Xiao Qian, the king of the fourth army..."

After the three of Chao Gai discussed, they decided that Dong Ping and a group of troops would sneak around Yanjing City and go to the front lines of Zhuozhou and Yizhou to inform Xiao Qian.Dong Ping is proficient in bow and horse, and has high martial arts skills. This long-distance trek must be done by him.

Wu Yong stayed with Chao Gai and continued to serve as a military adviser, assisting Chao Gai to better control the army and horses in Tanzhou, waiting for the order of Xiao Qian, the king of the fourth army.

After the discussion between the three of them, Dong Ping immediately selected twenty capable men to follow him, all changed into plain clothes, rode out of the city on fast horses.

On June 23, the first year of Jianfu in the Liao Kingdom, Tianxi Emperor Yeluchun, who was recuperating in the Nanyaochi Palace in Yanjing City, was critically ill.
