Please ask me to be the emperor

"King Calabash, are we going to let them go like this?" Early the next morning, Wang Jinying, a general under Ren Liang, saw Song Xiance and Wukong riding Shi Shiran away, and couldn't help but asked a little unwillingly.

"If you don't let them go, what else can you do?" Ren Liang sneered.

"Then Li Xiucai is not someone to be trifled with. He has one or two thousand elite cavalry under his command. Even Wang Gang back then was not as majestic as him."

"If these two people can convince this person, we will naturally have nothing to say."

"If the two of them can't even take down this person, how can they come to see me again?"

It turns out that "Jiaoyi has long been called the ridge soil, and the northwest is full of high mountains. Those who cultivate it are half as strong as cultivating stone fields." Of."

"The mountain is rich in forest trees, which can be sold. It is also good for livestock husbandry. There is a stone gorge in the north of the boundary, which belongs to Jingle County. Therefore, the Zuo family calls it Qudi, which produces many good horses."

"In the mountains of King Liu's army in the western border, there are many herbs growing there, and the mules and horses can graze among them. They are always disease-free, strong and good at walking, and have different fruits."

The so-called "stone field" refers to a rocky and uncultivable land. It is often used to describe useless things. It can be seen that the people here cannot make farming a career at all.

As the saying goes: If you rely on the mountains to eat, you will rely on the water to eat.

Since agriculture cannot be developed in Jiaoshan, the people here naturally rely on the mountains and forests and are mostly engaged in hunting, horse breeding, wood selling, iron smelting, leather and other industries.

Not to mention other industries, but livestock and horse raising. Historically, Jingle County, Xinzhou, Daizhou and other places were famous places for raising horses.

The Western Han Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty all successively set up animal husbandry gardens here, which are famous for producing fine horses. Since ancient times, it has been said that "Lou Fan's horses are the best in the world".

The three cliff rebels led by Ren Liang are okay here. Although they have good horses, they still need to purchase them from Jingle territory.

As for Li Shukong, who occupied Zhou Hongshan, he was in the land of Loufan during the Warring States Period, so he naturally had many war horses and knights.

When Li Shu and Kong were not raising troops, he was framed and imprisoned. It was his friend Liu Rang who rushed to Guihua City at night, recruited five hundred elite cavalry, killed officials and robbed the prison, and he was able to escape.

Now that he has been raising troops for a long time, one can imagine the strength of his subordinates.

Therefore, this "Gourd King" seemed to give in to Song Xiance, but in fact it posed a difficult problem for him.

How did Song Xiance and Wukong know this guy's plan? They just left the abandoned fort and headed west along the Zucchini River Valley.

It turns out that there are two tributaries in the upper reaches of Wenshui River, one is called Zucchini River and the other is called Donghulu River.

The valley formed by these two tributaries is called Zucchini River and Donghulichuan River by local people.

The three cliffs that Ren Liang occupied were located on the East Hulu River; and the many villages in the Xihe River were where the rebel armies headed by Ren Liang were following.

And it was precisely because Ren Liang was in charge of the "East and West Gourds" that he got the nickname Gourd King.

Not to mention what Ren Liang and others planned, Song Xiance and Wukong finally arrived at the end of Zucchini River, climbed over mountains and ridges, turned north, and arrived at the Nanchuan River Valley.

The two of them traveled another thirty or forty miles, and saw that the Nanchuan River merged into another river, which was called Jianhe River.

As soon as the two of them arrived near Jianhe, seven or eight knights gathered around them and shouted: "Where did that man come from?"

After hearing this, Song Xiance couldn't help but sit upright on his horse, stroked his beard and said, "I am."

"King Shun, the leader of the Thirty-sixth Battalion of the Rebel Army and President of the Fengtian Rebellion, the great national advisor Song Xiance and the Monkey King Sun Wukong are here. Who would be dissatisfied! "As a result, Song Xiance opened his mouth. Unexpectedly, that idiot Wukong suddenly responded and recited Song Xiance's previous remarks.

Song Xiance couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. He was almost angry to death from the monkey.

"What's the nonsense? The name is so long?" The knight was delighted when he heard the words. He opened his mouth and repeated it again, and then asked, "Is there any omission?"

Wukong didn't expect this guy to have such a good memory, and was dumbfounded.

But Song Xiance couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, and said to himself: "This Li Shukong is indeed well-deserved, and the people under his command are quite capable."

It turned out that before Song Xiance came, he already knew that Li Shukong had many horses and an elite cavalry, so he was not very surprised.

It's just that such a person has excellent memory and the ability to observe words and colors, but it is amazing.

Why?

Because people like this are often excellent scouts.

Scouts are to an army what eyes and ears are to a man.

It's not scary if Li Shukong has too many cavalry under his command. What's scary is that if he has an excellent scout, it will be much more difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Song Xiance couldn't help but patted his horse and said, "Your Excellency has a good memory, but it's like this."

"We are generals under King Shun. We just met the 'Gourd King' Ren Liang last time, and we just want to meet Master Li again. I wonder if I could trouble you all to send a message?"

"Easy to say, easy to say!" Although it was getting late, the man sent someone back to the stronghold to report, and he dismounted to accompany Song Xiance and Wukong.

When Song Xiance saw them boasting bows and arrows on their waists and hanging blunderbuss on their backs, he couldn't help but wonder: "The old Taoist priest has something to say and I don't know whether I should ask it, but I feel itchy in my heart."

"Old sir, it's okay to ask!" The knight responded readily.

"I wonder if this gun of yours was captured or forged by yourself?" Song Xiance couldn't help but borrow the slope to go down the donkey road.

"Some were captured, and some were forged." The man smiled upon hearing this.

"People in the mountains and wilds often use this for hunting. There is nothing surprising about it. But in terms of excellence, it has to be the Loufan Wangjiazhuang."

"There is a king there who specializes in this kind of business. He is friendly with the leader of my village, so everyone is worthy of a good bird gun."

Song Xiance was stern when he heard this. He was a good cavalryman and a good scout, and now he was also good at firearms. I'm afraid this Li Shukong was no small matter.

Song Xiance and Wukong waited until it got dark, lit a fire, and planned to spend the night like this.

Suddenly I heard the sound of horse hoofbeats, and then a hearty voice sounded: "I heard that King Shun sent an envoy to greet me. I don't know where the distinguished guest is, but it was Li who neglected me!"

"Is this person the leader of Li Village?" Song Xian couldn't help but turned around and asked.

The knights on the left and right couldn't help but look at each other and smiled: "If it's not him, who is it?"

Song Xiance responded quickly: "Song Xiance is here, please bother Chief Li to ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw seven or eight riders rushing in. The first person jumped up without stopping and suddenly landed in front of everyone.

Song Xiance raised his eyes and saw that this man had a strong back and a strong back, his eyes were shining, and he was carrying a good general.

However, the horse lost its reins and rushed straight towards the two of them.

Wukong couldn't help but jump forward and stopped in front of Song Xiance.

He rushed five or seven steps in a row, then leaned forward, grabbed the reins with one hand, hugged the horse's neck with the other, and then shouted: "Stop!"

"咴咴!" The horse weighed more than six or seven hundred kilograms, and it rushed towards him, fearing that it might not have the strength of a thousand kilograms.

Wukong was knocked back six or seven steps by him, and he was about to bump into the old Taoist priest Song Xiance.

Unexpectedly, Wukong had already lost his strength, and he only used his strength to lift up. The horse's front hooves were raised high, and it almost stepped on Song Xiance's face, but it stopped.

"What a strength, what a courage!" When Li Shukong saw this, his pupils could not help but shrink, and he immediately took a high look at the legendary King Shun.

Don't think that people like Ren Liang and Li Shukong only know how to fight for strength. In fact, they have their own ways.

Test the bravery of its messenger and test its strength.

Second, test the courage of his messenger and test whether his superiors and subordinates are of the same mind.

The messenger is the face of the Lord, so he is naturally a carefully selected person.

If his courage is insufficient, it means he has no one under his command.

If the courage is insufficient, it means that no one under his command will die for him.

Therefore, before Song Xiance went out, he specifically asked Zhang Shun for a strong general with strong martial arts, and this was his intention.

It seems that Li Shukong was born as a scholar, but in fact he was also very brave.

Originally he lived in Sanyuan Village, but later moved to Hejiazhuang.

At that time, he happened to have a well reel stone frame at home, weighing four to five hundred kilograms.

Li Shukong couldn't give it up, so he carried it on his back and moved it to Hejiazhuang seven or eight miles away, which made him famous.

Now that he saw Wukong's magical power, he was amazed and could not defeat him.

Li Shukong couldn't help but smile and said: "King Shun has so many talents under his command. If you want me to submit to King Shun, there is nothing wrong with me."

"It's just that a certain family has a special skill that makes them a good blunderbuss. If anyone between the two of you can defeat me, I am willing to accept him as my master and let him control the two thousand knights under my command!"

"This..." Song Xiance was dumbfounded when he heard this. Although Wukong was born with supernatural powers, he was clumsy with bows, arrows and blunderbuss.

Since Li Shukong dared to propose a blunderbuss competition, he was naturally a good player. How could the two of them be his opponents?

Everyone can't help but think that the author is verbose. Ren Liang and Li Shukong were originally the protagonist's generals second only to Chen Changzhen and Xiao Qinhu. However, the outline was later changed and the plot was lost.

This time, letting these two people show their faces a little bit is to give them some extra drama...
