    "Mighty and unyielding, he is truly a hero!" Alone in the room, Zhou Ping was no longer afraid of being heard, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's just that such a hero has to move to a foreign land to avoid his sharp edge. At this time, the woman  How strong must the real person be!" Thinking of this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but sigh to himself.  At this moment, a follower reported from outside: "General, Li Cheng is back!" "Oh!" Zhou Ping turned around in surprise: "Let him in quickly!" A few minutes later, Li Cheng came into the room, full of joy.  A few grooves were washed away by sweat on Chenchen's face, revealing the thin cracks on his face that were blown by the cold wind. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot along the way.  Li Cheng said to Zhou Ping: "The general has met the general!" "You must have suffered a lot, sit down and talk!" Zhou Ping pointed to an empty chair beside him with a smile and asked, "along the way.  "Is it going well?" "General, please allow me to report!" Li Cheng took a breath and sat down on the chair: "Brother She'er and I went west, and we saw that the villages along the way were either deserted or full of people.  The fort was thick and heavily guarded. People from far away shouted to drive the horses away. Several times they saw us coming over to snatch the horses. If we hadn¡¯t had spare horses and a good bow, we might have been snatched away by them.  We walked northwest along the Sanggan River. After four or five days, we reached the border of Yingzhou and could not go any further. I heard that there were defeated Liao soldiers and horse bandits everywhere in front of us.  When I went in, I didn't hear anything about Emperor Tian Zuo's 100,000 cavalry, so I had to go back. " "That's good!" Although it didn't achieve all the goals, it at least confirmed the authenticity of the news about Emperor Tian Zuo's 100,000 cavalry.  Fake.  Zhou Ping was very happy. He looked at Li Cheng and saw that there was no one behind him and asked, "Where's She'er? Why didn't she come back with you?" "I was about to report to the general!" Li Cheng took a sip of water and continued:  "On the way back, I met a local village. At that time, we were almost out of dry food, so we had to go to the village to buy it. Unexpectedly, the leader of the village was an old acquaintance of Brother Sheer, and we chatted for a few words.  , Brother Sheer should stay. I also asked the general to tell him: We have not met that Guan Yu, but it will be the same if we win over some rich people. Everything will be fine for him over there, please rest assured." Zhou Ping said.  After some detailed inquiries, I found out that the leader of the village was Luo Sheer's father, Luo Qinghan's old subordinate when he was in the Resentment Army.  When the resentful army rebelled, they were suppressed by Xiao Qian's army.  Pharmacist Guo took advantage of the unfavorable situation and killed Luo Qinghan and surrendered to the Liao army.  The man escaped and gathered a group of people along the way, occupying the village and beating down two or thirty villages on all sides.  He was barely considered a local toubob.  After Luo Sheer met the enemy who killed her father, she understood that with Yaoshi Guo's current strength, it would be a delusion for her to seek revenge based on Zhou Ping.  So he stayed in the village, trying to get in touch and use it as a trump card for revenge.  "Sure enough, in these troubled times when people are killing people like grass and not being heard, a half-year-old child is thinking about supporting the army to respect himself!" Zhou Ping laughed bitterly when he heard this. It was obvious that Luo Sheer was just following his example and playing the role of a tiger under the banner of the Song Dynasty.  , to win over his father's old men, the only difference is that he plans to take revenge on Yaoshi Guo, while he wants to solve Yan Yun's problem as soon as possible. The two have something in common.  "Li Cheng, how many people do you think there are in that village? How many horses? How are the soldiers and armor? Do you think She'er's method is feasible?" "Tell the general, there are about four or five leaders in that village, and the nearby Ding  There are more than 2,000 men in total, and there are not many who can really fight. There are only about 100 or 200 horses, 20 or 30 sets of armor, only some swords and spears, few bows and arrows.  Not many." At this point, Li Cheng paused for a moment: "Actually, I think it's not difficult to recruit people from Yingzhou. There are horse thieves and deserters from Yunzhong and other states outside the mountain.  There are farmers who can't survive everywhere. As long as they don't make too much noise, the officials in the state don't care. Some of them can even give them the title of envoy or guard, but most of them just spin up and down.  It won¡¯t work!¡± ¡°Well!¡± Zhou Ping¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, ¡°So you mean She¡¯er¡¯s trick can work?¡± Li Cheng said with a smile.  To be honest, I've noticed that many of them are soldiers who have been fighting for several years and have seen a lot of life and death. I'm afraid it won't help much with just a few false accusations. You need to have someone strong.  Only when the guys come out can we catch people!" "What do you mean?" "Food, clothing, copper, silver, and armor!" Li Cheng said with a smile, "Especially the armor.  , many deserters only had one horse when they ran out, and everything else was completely lost. Yingzhou was close to the outside of the Great Wall, and there was no shortage of horses. They only needed two or three hundred for food, clothing, and money.  The cavalry that can fight can be found after breaking down a few strongholds. Then there is a war, and the trade routes have long been cut off. Even if there is salt, the price is scary.My wife already eats light food. The little salt we have can be replaced by a pretty little lady!  " "Bing Jia, and salt!  "Zhou Ping nodded. He knew in his heart that although Yanjing seemed to be calm at the moment, there was actually an undercurrent surging. Once Yelu Chun died, or the Song and Liao Dynasties developed, all forces would jump to power.  Come and play each other. As the saying goes: "Literary affairs must be armed." I thought that if I wanted to get involved in Yanjing City, I must have an armed force loyal to me. Ordinarily, if I returned to Tong Guan's side, I would rely on it.  With my past achievements and understanding of it, it is not a problem to get some armor and salt, but the problem is how to transport it to Yingzhou. The Baigou border between Song and Liao is now covered with war clouds.  It¡¯s okay for three people to pay it off, but the caravan with dozens or even hundreds of animals and vehicles will definitely not be able to get through. So what should we do? ¡°General!  "Li Cheng's voice interrupted Zhou Ping's thoughts: "When I entered the city just now, I saw many young men entering the city. It seems that they are not serious people. I heard that they were all recruited by Li Shaofu.  " "Li Shaofu?"  Which Mr. Li?  " Zhou Ping asked subconsciously. "I heard that he is Xianggong Li's son, and his name seems to be Li Shi!  "Speaking of this, Li Cheng's face suddenly showed a strange smile: "The people in the wine shop next to the door said that Li Shaofu and the queen had an affair. I heard that the queen was born with natural beauty, and that Li Shaofu was really beautiful.  blessed!  " "Don't talk nonsense!  "Zhou Ping shouted sternly. With his knowledge of the Liao official system and the political situation in Yanjing during this period, he had roughly figured out that the Li Shaofu Li Cheng mentioned should be Li Chuwen's son. The Shaofu's young eunuch was originally a Han official.  , probably in charge of handicraft manufacturing and coinage, had become an official in the Liao Kingdom, and was not necessarily an actual dispatcher. Li Chuwen, the son, actually held the power of the Suwei court. His official position may not be high, but it was very important.  Location. ¡°What did you mean when you said you were not a serious person?  "Zhou Ping thought about it for a while and suddenly asked. "This -" Li Cheng thought about the wording for a while and replied: "The last general used to be an archer in the countryside, and he was one of those frivolous people, such as smuggled salt sellers and private murderers.  Those who farm cattle¡ª¡ª" "No need to say it, I understand!  Zhou Ping stopped Li Cheng from replying: "You have worked hard along the way. Go down and eat and rest first!"  " "Here!  "Li Cheng responded and retreated. "Haha!  "When Li Cheng exited the room, Zhou Ping suddenly laughed in a low voice: "Li Chuwen, Li Chuwen, you pretend to be harmless to me in front of me, but I didn't expect you to have a hand in secret!  Okay, okay, I'm not afraid of you being too arrogant, I'm just afraid that you're too honest!  " "Someone is coming!  Zhou Ping suddenly said loudly: "Change my clothes, I want to go out!"  "More than half an hour later, Liu Ji's leather goods shop outside the west gate of Jingguo Temple. It was almost dinner time, and the streets were already relatively bleak, with few pedestrians. The guys in the shop yawned lazily and waited.  It was time to close the door. At this time, two guests came in from the outside. The one in the lead was tall and dignified. The man behind him was burly. He held a saber in his hand and looked around cautiously. He was obviously a guard.  He hurried forward, sang a fat song, and said with a smile: "Two guests, what do you want to buy when you come to the shop?  " Zhou Ping was satisfied to see that there were no other customers in the store except them. He coughed and said in a low voice: "Someone has something important to do and wants to meet with Li Men!  " The shopkeeper's face changed slightly, and he was about to test it out. Zhou Ping smiled slightly, took out a jade pendant from his arms, put it in the other party's hand, and said: "I am the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty, and this is what Li Meng personally informed me.  From a certain family!  "The shopkeeper looked at the jade pendant and saw that it was very beautifully made. He knew it was not an ordinary utensil, so he quickly put it in his arms and whispered: "My lord, please come to the back room and wait for a while!  "After that, he led Zhou Ping and the two into the back room, gave some instructions to his men, and then turned around and walked to the backyard. About half an hour later, the shopkeeper came to Zhou Ping, his expression became more respectful, and he said respectfully: "My master  If you please, please come with the two villains!  " Zhou Ping nodded, got up and followed the shopkeeper to the backyard and into the woodshed. The shopkeeper pushed away several bundles of dry firewood, knelt on the ground and opened a wooden cover, revealing a dark hole inside. He turned his head  He smiled at Zhou Ping and said, "You two noble men are coming with me!  "After that, he jumped down the hole. Zhou Ping didn't say much and jumped down. Li Cheng also jumped down. In the hole, Zhou Ping saw the shopkeeper standing up in front. He didn't know when there was an oil lamp in his hand.  Waiting for him with a smile. He followed the shopkeeper in the tunnel for a long time, and he didn't feel stuffy. Obviously this tunnel has special ventilation facilities, and he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect there to be such a tunnel under Yanjing!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
