"Yes, brother!"
Pei Xuan solemnly held the wine poured by Sun Lei, stood up and drank it all in one gulp. He was always a selfless person, but he didn't know his true intentions. Since he went to Liangshan, he was finally able to express his ambitions, and now his blood is boiling every day. He has never been so free to do things, and he no longer has to be constrained by superior officials. Qinbei Pavilion
"Sit down! Let me introduce to you, this is Jizhou Yunlong Gongsun Sheng! Gongsun Daoist, this is the iron-faced Pei Xuan. Now he is responsible for all disputes in these eight hundred miles of water."
Sun Lei introduced Gongsun Sheng to Pei Xuan with a smile.
Pei Xuan had just entered the Jianghu. He had been an official in Jingzhao Mansion before, and he didn't know Gongsun Sheng at all, but he still politely clasped his fists when being entertained by Sun Lei, and Gongsun Sheng also smiled and held his hands.
"I asked my brother to collect protection fees in Liangshanbo to protect peace. I was right. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is really eye-opening."
Gongsun Sheng said with a smile, Liangshan even takes care of all the affairs of the villages around Shuibo. This is really better and more responsible than the government. No wonder the area around Shuibo is prosperous.
Here the glasses were exchanged, and everyone laughed and began to toast each other.
"Brother, I just heard the saying of drawing firewood from the bottom of the cauldron. I wonder how much firewood you want to draw?"
Gongsun Sheng drank a few drinks before he asked.
"The Taoist priest said how much is appropriate to smoke?"
Sun Lei did not answer directly but asked rhetorically. He wanted to see what Gongsun Sheng was thinking.
"It is better to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron than to stop it from boiling. Naturally, the more the better! What a great thing to do if you can destroy it!"
Gongsun Sheng replied.
"Haha, Taoist Gongsun actually has the same idea as me!"
Sun Lei raised his glass with a smile.
"Brother thinks so too?"
Gongsun Sheng was delighted when he heard this and quickly raised his wine glasses to clink them.
"That's about right. According to my idea, if it can't be destroyed, it can't be established. Wouldn't it be better to dump the pot and start a new one?"
Sun Lei said his thoughts.
"Brother, do you really think so?"
Gongsun Sheng stood up quickly and asked, the burning firewood was the corrupt officials of the Zhao family and the world. These people were fattening people by eating people's flesh, so they deserved to be killed. He only wanted to kill more corrupt officials, and Sun Sheng But Lei wanted to kill all the corrupt officials and even crush this dark world together.
"I, Mr. Sun, always keep his word and do what he says. Look, among my brothers, is there any one of them who can tolerate the anger of those dog officials?"
Sun Lei nodded.
"Brother, I have a merciless request!"
Gongsun Sheng fell directly to Sun Lei.
"Master Gongsun, why is this happening? Get up! Get up!"
Sun Lei quickly helped him up, but when he helped him, he realized that Gongsun Sheng was very strong and he could not help him.
Seeing Gongsun Sheng like this, everyone looked over and wondered what was going on.
"Brother, please listen to what Xiaodao has to say!"
Gongsun Sheng insisted.
"Taoist Master, please speak."
When Sun Lei saw Gong Sun Sheng's insistence, he could only rely on him.
"Brother, if there is a chance in the future, please save the people of the Sixteen States from fire and water!"
Gongsun Sheng looked at Sun Lei and begged.
"The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun?"
Sun Lei looked at Gongsun Sheng and asked, the sixteen states of Yanyun, namely Youzhou, Jizhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Zhuozhou, Tanzhou, Shunzhou, Yunzhou, Ruzhou, Guizhou, Wuzhou and Xinzhou , Yuzhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou. It is roughly equivalent to the entire territory of Beijing and Tianjin in later generations, plus the northern areas of Hebei and northern Shanxi.
"Yes, it is the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that were ceded by that evil thief Shi Jingtang! It has been more than one hundred and seventy years now, and the people of the Sixteen Prefectures have been ravaged by foreign races. Xiaodao only regrets that he is unable to stop them and only dares to secretly kill some people. Son, I am unable to save the people from the fire and water. Didn’t my brother just ask who did those things in Jizhou? It was Xiaodao and some people with lofty ideals who did it!"
"Xiaodao made a big deal not long ago, killing more than a dozen Liao people. They were wanted, so they went south to escape. In Daming Mansion, they saw Liang Zhongshu plundering people's wealth and giving it to the corrupt official Cai Jing. He was so angry that he thought Find someone to work together to steal this ill-gotten wealth."
"Xiaodao originally thought that this would be the case in his life, but now that he sees a true hero like his brother who upholds justice for heaven, and a group of like-minded heroes helping him, he finally sees hope, and that's why he makes this heartless request."
Gongsun Sheng burst into tears as he spoke, as if he wanted to cry out the 170 years of suffering for the people of the Sixteen States of Yanyun. The Liao people were not good people. They were Khitan people with nomadic origins. Although they had established a country, they The barbaric spirit of the nomads has not diminished at all. Burning, killing, and looting are what they are best at. For more than a hundred years, they would hunt grass and valleys whenever they were short of things, and regarded the people of the Sixteen States as nothing more than prey.
"Please get up quickly!"
Sun Lei helped Gongsun Sheng up.
"Those dogs deserve to die!"
Lu Zhishen gritted his teeth when he heard this. The Liao and Xixia people were equally barbaric. The Five Guanxi Routes were already full of victims just by fighting against the Xixia people. What kind of hell would it be like for the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to be under the rule of the Liao people.
"The Song Dynasty also sent troops to conquer Liao many times over the past century, trying to regain Yanyun, but they returned in vain every time. On the contrary, the Liao Kingdom became stronger and stronger."
Lin Chong sighed and said, the Sixteen States of Yanyun are like a chokehold for the generals of the Central Plains, so everyone wants to regain their homeland, but there is nothing they can do. He himself once dreamed of going to the border to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service.
"My little brother knows a little bit about it. It's not impossible to defeat a war. Every time, there are treacherous ministers and corrupt officials who cause trouble. Who knows, there are also people who are causing trouble and seeking personal gain. How can we win this battle?"
Pei Xuan opened his mouth and said that he was very aware of the darkness of officialdom. Most of the high-ranking officials in the court were treacherous people who would do anything for their own benefit.
"Brother, the people in the Sixteen Prefectures have long been disappointed with the Zhao family. Now the Zhao family only knows how to enjoy themselves in the Central Plains, and has long forgotten the suffering of the people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."
Gongsun Sheng said, the Song Dynasty was founded for more than a hundred years, but now it still gives the Liao a yearly coin every year, ignores the Liao cavalry and goes south to Hebei to thresh the straw, praying for peace every time, without a trace of backbone, all these sixteen states The people who saw it so clearly felt their hearts turn cold.
"Taoist Master Gongsun, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term, but I can leave it here. If Liangshan has that strength, we will definitely defeat the Liao Kingdom."
Sun Lei pointed to the sky and said.
"Thank you brother!"
After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng wanted to bow down again, but this time Sun Lei supported him in advance.
"Since we are heroes in the world and want to uphold justice for heaven, how can we ignore such things? I only hope that the Taoist Master can help us and witness the arrival of that day together!"
Sun Lei watched Gongsun Sheng initiate the invitation. Only now did he know why Gongsun Sheng left Liangshan twice. Song Jiang's ascent to the mountain meant that Liangshan would lean toward the imperial court and no longer belong to the Jianghu. Later, he went down the mountain to conquer Liao, and leaving again meant that he wanted to conquer the Liao Dynasty again. Stay away from the Zhao family's court.
"My little brother was shattered to pieces..."
Gongsun Sheng was about to swear when he was interrupted by Sun Lei.
"Don't be smashed to pieces at every turn. How happy it is to drink wine and eat meat! Do it!"
Sun Lei raised his wine glass and said with a smile.
"Dry!"
Everyone raised their glasses together.
"Dry!"
Gongsun Sheng saw everyone united and raised his glass excitedly. With so many like-minded heroes, he didn't have to worry about great things happening.
