"Sun Chuanting misled me, Sun Chuanting misled me!"

Gao Mingheng beats his chest and stamps his feet, his eyes are red.

"I thought that Sun Baigu would be fierce in suppressing the thieves, but this time he was defeated by the thieves. What else can I rely on for Kaifeng now? It's a pity that Hou Xun, who is afraid of the thief, is like a tiger, and watches Kaifeng suffer. It's a pity that Chen Yongfu, ah, ah..."

Gao Mingheng is so sad: "Now that the thief is coming again, how can Kaifeng defend it!"

Compared to Gao Mingheng's pessimism, King Zhou was much more calm.

"Why should Governor Gao do this?" King Zhou said: "Although Sun Chuanting was defeated, isn't there still Ying Yi? It seems that the thief has never received any benefits. If you think about it carefully, you may not be able to turn the world around. The most urgent task is that Governor Gao must contact Ying Yi's troops as soon as possible."

He also said: "I will issue another 100,000 yuan in the treasury. One is to recruit more young and strong people, so we must guard the city first. The other is to give a meeting ceremony, so General Ying can speak."

Gao Mingheng heard this, his expression of depression slightly decreased and said, "Your Highness is wise."

Then he asked, "I dare to ask Your Highness, why didn't you see Zhenren Li today?"

In the past, when I met King Zhou, Li Zhenren was there. But I didn’t see him this time, no wonder Gao Mingheng was confused.

King Zhou smiled and said, "Mr. Li went out of the city. It is said that there are some trivial matters to deal with, and he will return at night."

Gao Mingheng felt a little relieved and said, "There are strange people in the thief. If there is no Li Zhenren in charge, the subordinates will be uneasy after all."

King Zhou said: "It's safe for the governor."

Kaifeng knows the situation of the battle between the thief and Sun Chuanting in the previous battle. But after all, I don’t know the turning point later, and I only know that after the thief defeated Sun Chuanting, I didn’t get any benefits.

Ying Yi's troops appeared and hid inside, but after all, they did not send a war report to Kaifeng.

At present, Sun Chuanting's entire army was wiped out, and the only thing Kaifeng could rely on was Ying Yi's troops who were looming. The King of Zhou did not hesitate to send the treasury of the royal palace to use real money and silver as a meeting gift.

Under the premise that Hou Xun pretended to be deaf and dumb, there was only this life-saving straw.

The King of Zhou seemed as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact he had no bottom line. But in reality, he could not abandon Kaifeng's family business. The foundation of the Zhou royal palace is here. If you abandon Kaifeng, the King of Zhou would definitely not want to.

But he said that Zhenren Li really went out of the city.

This Zhenren Li is indeed an alien with magic. He was born in Wudang Mountain and had a Taoist temple in Kaifeng City. He has always been a guest of honor in the Zhou royal palace.

The thieves besieged Kaifeng and used strange means to harm him. If it weren't for the fact that Li Zhenren would have been defeated, Kaifeng would have been destroyed.

In the morning, Zhenren Li talked to King Zhou and left the city, saying that he had to deal with small matters and would return sooner or later. King Zhou knew that Zhenren Li was not easy to stop him, so he left him.

In the vast rain, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared and were faintly visible. They were all wearing straw raincoats and hats, and strolling in the mud.

But they are two Taoist people.

One is Li Zhenren and the other is his apprentice.

"The master said something was wrong, but I don't know what it was." The little Taoist priest's lips were red and his teeth were white, and his eyes were pure.

When Li Zhenren heard this, he smiled softly and said, "If something happens, it is not a small matter, it is a big matter."

"Big thing?" The little Taoist priest didn't understand why.

Li Zhenren said leisurely: "You are not foolish. You have been in Kaifeng for a long time, but what do you think? Can you defend Kaifeng City by being unable to defend? What is the reason for the thief returning? What means do they use to break the city? If the city is broken, what will happen?"

The little Taoist was stunned when he heard this and said, "Master, Kaifeng City is high and thick, so he should be able to defend it? The thieves surrounded Kaifeng and were determined to break the city. Isn't it natural to return it? As for the means of breaking the city, with Master here, he can only attack."

Li Zhenren laughed and shook his head and said, "Why is that simple?"

He said, "I, Taoism, among the three religions and nine ranks, have many ears and ears. The King of Zhou did not know the situation of the front line, but how could he be a teacher? Li Chuang raised hundreds of thousands of troops and defeated Sun Chuanting, but he was defeated but failed. He then suffered a great loss in the hands of Ying Yi. Ying Yi was very good. He destroyed Hao Yaoqi, Liu Zongmin, and Li Guo in Nanyang, and killed Li Yanhong's wife and destroyed Luo Rucai. The strong army was unprecedented. After Li Chuang defeated Sun Chuanting, he wanted to use the great victory to destroy Ying Yi, but was defeated by Ying Yi. Not only that, the way to go south was blocked tightly."

After a pause, Li Zhenren continued: "The thieves sent people to test, and more than 10,000 troops were defeated under Luyang Pass. Li Chuang was afraid of it like a tiger and dared not fight with it again. However, the way to go south was unreasonable and he did not want to go west to Guanzhong. However, the white land of the Central Plains was not easy to replenish supplies. Only by opening the seal again, taking the supplies from the city, and holding the people in the city could he compete with Ying Yi."

After hearing this, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but say in surprise: "Since the master knows, why don't you tell the King of Zhou?"

When Li Zhenren sighed after hearing this, he said, "I am saving him."

The little Taoist priest doesn't understand.

Li Zhenren said, "You don't know Ying Yi. You have never told you as a teacher." He said, "Ying Yi is really a dragon in the clouds and a tiger in the mountains. He is not only a good example, but also a clear mind. He is in Nanyang, destroying bandits, occupying three counties, stabilizing order, gathering the people, and clearing up wasteland and farming. It is no longer the duty of a military general, and his mind is clear."

"Ah?!" The little Taoist priest was surprised when he heard this, "It's so?"

Li Zhenren sighed: "He is a military general, and suppressing thieves is his duty. However, he should not manage the local area. However, he did it, and he clearly had ambitions in the world. Now the world is in chaos and the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil. It is time to change dynasties. Li Chuang often acts in unrighteousness and is not a good lord. This person is different. He has the advantage of military advances, and many thieves are not his opponents. He has the people in his heart, and the three counties have become stable, and the people will be happy. This is the posture of a wise lord."

"The wild dragon snake rose up when it encounters wind and clouds. As far as the teacher sees, the world's energy is somewhat on him. Since he has the heart of independence, he is now named Qi and is the general of Huguang. It is inevitable that he will show his skills and move forward. No matter whether he is a bandit or an official, he is his enemy."

Speaking of this, Zhenren Li asked the little Taoist priest: "If you are him, will you save King Zhou, and will you save Governor Gao?"

The little Taoist shook his head: "If you have the intention to be independent, the King of Zhou and Governor Gao will both be restrained. It will be useless to save it, but it will be disadvantages."

But he said, "But Master, he can't ignore the millions of households in Kaifeng City?"

Li Zhenren laughed: "Yes, he will not want to save King Zhou and Governor Gao, but the people cannot ignore it. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. He wants to stand on his own, and he will definitely win the millions of people in Kaifeng. However, he not only wants to get people, but also wants to get the heart."

The little Taoist priest thought: "If the tide is turned down and the building is about to collapse, the people will be grateful..."

"It's this reason." Li Zhenren stroked his hands and said, "So Li Chuang came back."

The little Taoist priest was stunned and blurted out: "Master means that Li Chuang was deliberately driven back by him?"

Li Zhenren nodded slightly: "I think everything is in his control. He blocked Li Chuang from heaven and into the ground, so he forced him to open the Feng again. When Kaifeng was about to be crumbling, he appeared to save him again. How could the people not be grateful for it?!"
