About two hundred miles northwest of Helan Mountain, in a desert, there is a medium-sized oasis called Loubobei Oasis. There is also a lake near this oasis. Although the surrounding area is dry and no rivers flow through it, the lake is rippling and shows no tendency to dry up.
However, the oasis is not green because of this lake, because this lake is a salt lake named Tangwenchi. The lake water is extremely salty and undrinkable.
The green of the Loubobe Oasis is due to the fact that there is a spring in the oasis that emits clear and sweet spring water all year round.
The Baimaqiang Town Military Division of the Dabai Gao Kingdom is based in the Loubobe Oasis. The Baimaqiang Town Military Division not only guards the oasis with abundant water resources, but also looks at a salt lake with abundant financial resources, and gradually becomes prosperous. Not only did they build a large stone city wall, but they also built a grain storage cellar in the oasis and stored a lot of wheat. Finally, it became an important border defense town in the northwest of Xingzhou.
And this important border defense town has now become the refuge and equipment place for Li Qianshun, the fourth emperor of the Dabai Kingdom... I really guessed that Li Qianshun was really in Loubo Bay Oasis feigns illness.
The reason why he pretended to be ill was not because he was afraid that his subordinates would force him to fight. Brother Richard was responsible for the fight, and it was not his turn. He just felt that he had lost the inheritance of his ancestors and was ashamed to see others... This shows that he, a humble man, still knows his shame.
On the way to Loubobei Oasis, he told his good brother Cha Ge about this matter, and Chage suggested that he should pretend to be sick after arriving at Loubobei Oasis... maybe for ten and a half days. Within months, he would be able to hear the good news that Jin Bing defeated Zhao Kai.
At that time, he will be able to stand up and lead everyone back to his hometown!
Li Qianshun thought his brother's method was good, so he pretended to faint as soon as he arrived at Loubobei Oasis, then squinted in the palace, and left all military affairs to Cha Ge.
However, he had been pretending to be sick for more than 20 days, and he did not get the news that the Jin soldiers defeated Zhao Kai. Instead, he got the news that the Song and Jin armies were facing off near the fork of the Yellow River.
According to Cha Ge's report, Zhao Kai was not in a hurry to leave Xingzhou this time. Instead, he sent his generals Yue Fei and Li Xiaozhong to lead an army of 100,000 troops to march along the Yellow River by land and water. There are two fortresses - one on the east side of the river and one on the west side of the river. In the two hundred and dozens miles from Keyi Gate to the fork of the Yellow River, a total of twenty fortresses were built to guard the back road tightly!
Obviously, Zhao Kai was guarding Li Qianshun who was stationed at Lou Beibo Oasis!
Moreover, after the Song army arrived at the front line at the fork of the Yellow River, they were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they set up a stronghold along the Yellow River, as if they were preparing for a long confrontation.
In addition, Brother Cha also told Qian Shun that Zhao Kai had mobilized many enlisted servicemen to enter the Xingzhou Valley at the foot of Helan Mountain in recent days. In addition to taking over the dangerous locations in the city, he had also begun to harvest the winter wheat that was beginning to mature!
Is this going to be a protracted war with the Jin people in Xingzhou?
This made Li Qianshun very anxious... The Jin people were supported by the prairie at the foot of the Black Mountain and the prairie at the foot of the Yin Mountain. They could herd sheep and farm. The people of Song Dynasty were supported by wheat from Xingzhou and Lingzhou, so they seemed to be unable to starve.
But what about Li Qianshun’s party members? The grain reserves of the Army Division in Baimaqiang Town are enough to last for two months...and Li Qianshun cannot stay in the Loubeibo Oasis for two full months. His army is on its way to the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town. I still have to eat!
But fleeing to Dunhuang empty-handed is not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Zhao Kai must have noticed Li Qianshun's conspiracy... Otherwise, how could Zhao Kai, who likes to be in battle so much, stay in Xingzhou personally? How could he let his army build forts all the way to the forks of the Yellow River?
Zhao Kai is such a vicious person! Can he let go of Li Qianshun who wants to plot against him?
Definitely not!
When he thought of Zhao Kai's "official anger", Li Qianshun really couldn't bear it anymore... He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at all that night, so he had to drink a jar of the wine brought by Brother Richard. Soju (not distilled liquor) forced me to sleep.
I don’t know whether he drank too much soju or was frightened by Zhao Kai’s “official wrath”. He fell ill the next day, suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and developed a high fever.
Now I am cured. My pretending to be ill has turned into a real illness, and the illness is not serious. I am even a little confused.
"Wuzhu, Wuzu...it's time to drink medicine!"
Li Qianshun, who was a little dazed with a fever, suddenly heard a very familiar voice in his ear calling him to take medicine...
However, Li Qianshun refused to drink and pursed his lips tightly... After being a pawn for so many years, he still had some vigilance! Even if I am confused, my subconscious is still resisting taking the medicine!
Seeing that he refused to take the medicine, the voice began to persuade him again: "Wuzhu, you are sick now... You are so seriously ill, how can you survive without taking medicine? You'd better drink it, take the medicine, Nothing happened."
Nothing happened? When Li Qianshun heard this, he quickly opened his eyes, and then saw his good brother Richard sitting next to him, holding a big bowl in his hand, and there was an unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine wafting from the bowl. .
Seeing that Li Qianshun was awake, Brother Cha showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Wuzhu, drink... Just drink it and you'll be fine!"
"Okay?" Li Qianshun sighed, "Can it get better?"
"That's great!" Brother Richard smiled, "Uzu, I just got the battle report on the fork of the Yellow River... The Song Army and the Jin Army fought. It was a bloody battle!"
"Really?" Li Qianshun regained his energy. He looked like he was dying just now, but now he can sit up on the bed. "Who, who won?"
"Wuzhu, you drink the medicine first... After you finish drinking the medicine, I will tell you in detail!"
As Brother Richard spoke, he handed over a large bowl of medicine.
Li Qianshun was eager to get life-related news, and he trusted his brother Cha Ge very much, so he took the big bowl filled with brown concoction, frowned, put the bowl to his mouth, and poured the concoction He inhaled it into his mouth... After drinking it, he felt something was wrong, so he asked, "This medicine is so bitter! Brother Cha, what kind of medicine is this?"
Brother Richard said: "Wuzi, it's just some medicine for regulating the stomach...I also added some medicine that Emperor Rensheng Xiaowen gave to the Queen Mother."
"Emperor Rensheng Daxiaowen?" Li Qianshun was stunned, "He is..."
"He is the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, his temple name is Daozong!" "Daozong of the Liao Dynasty..." Li Qianshun's face suddenly changed. It was a little green before, but now it has turned blue and black, "You, you. ....."
He has now remembered that in order to help him kill his mother, Daozong of the Liao Dynasty sent envoys to give poison to his mother, the Queen Mother Xiaoliang!
There was too much medicine given at that time, a total of ten kilograms of arsenic was given. Empress Dowager Xiaoliang could not take that much, so there was a lot left. Li Qianshun was unwilling to throw it away, so he kept it in the palace. Later, he used some for his son Li Renai and his wife Yelu Nanxian. Unexpectedly, it was his turn to suffer from food poisoning!
Brother Richard sighed and said: "I brought you the medicine that Daozong gave to my aunt in the past... It may be that it has lost its effect over time. I put it in the wine for you to drink last time. But it didn’t work. But don’t worry, I doubled the amount this time and it will definitely work!”
It turns out that Ganshun was not sick, but poisoned... However, Brother Richard had no experience in doing this and used it less, so he didn't let Ganshun die quickly. Now he has to go back to work and try to poison him again.
"You, you..." Li Qianshun felt cramps in his stomach at this time... This is about to end!
Thinking of this, he was about to shout for help, but Brother Richard covered his mouth. Brother Richard was a military commander and was very strong. He covered his mouth. How could Qian Shun still shout?
Brother Cha persuaded him in his ear: "Stop shouting... No one will come! Everyone wants you to die! If you don't die... What will the officials of the Song Dynasty tell you? If you don't die, , how will the ancestors and clans explain it? If you don’t die, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people who have left their homes? Don’t worry, after you die, I will be the governor and I will not leave this mess to your son.
And I will not kill your son Renxiao. I will let him go to Luoyang with Concubine Shun as a hostage. Concubine Shun's sister is now favored, and the official family will not embarrass their mother and son. Just go with peace of mind..."
What a good brother! This is called thoughtfulness, what else can Li Qianshun do? What else could he do but say "thank you" and die in peace?
And even if he doesn't feel at ease, he can't be saved. How strong is Brother Richard? I could pinch him to death!
...
When Li Qianshun died of illness, there was a group of people outside his dormitory waiting to see him die! These are all loyal ministers of Dabai Gao Kingdom!
When they saw the door of the house opened, Brother Richard came out of it with his head downcast and a look of sorrow on his face. Everyone knew that the Wuzu was gone! Everyone who had stretched their necks and felt uneasy just now all breathed out at the same time.
Li Renli was the first to go up and ask: "The commander of the army, the Lord..."
Brother Richard sighed: "My Lord has passed away... My Lord became ill from grief and anger, so the medicine and stone are useless!"
In fact, medicine stones are still useful! Li Qianshun died of bleeding from his seven orifices, not being strangled to death by Brother Richard... This 278-year-old arsenic made in the Liao Kingdom is still very useful!
Li Renli said: "Du Tongjun, you are my lord's brother. Now our Hexi Army is in troubled times and needs a lord to rule. I ask Du Tongjun to stay behind for Jiedu!"
"I would like to ask all the troops to stay behind for Jiedu..."
Everyone else in the courtyard unanimously followed Li Renli and supported Brother Richard as his successor.
Brother Richard was not polite to them either... The Hexi Army was going to attack the Gaochang Uighurs and the Black Khan Uighurs. How could Li Renxiao be allowed to serve as a military governor with a young child?
However, he did not accept it immediately. Instead, he told everyone: "The news of the Lord's death cannot be made public yet, lest the morale of the army be shaken... In addition, the army cannot leave immediately and must continue to stay here."
