At night, Longbiancheng, Jiaozhou Prefecture Yamen (Wanchun King Palace), Jiaozhou Governor (Wanchun King) Li Fozi was having a meal. The meal was very rich tonight. The kitchen carefully made the bearded snake soup, which is a good tonic.

There are many mountains in Jiaozhou. There is a big snake called the bearded snake in the mountains. It is more than ten feet long and has a waist of seven or eight feet, which makes people feel disgusted.

The bearded snake often hunts on the trees. When wild deer and other animals pass by, it pounces on it and wraps it around. After a moment, the prey dies, and the bearded snake opens its mouth and swallows it slowly.

This snake has huge body, colorful and beautiful patterns, and delicious meat. It is a rare delicacy at the banquet, but it is difficult to catch, so it is extremely precious. Of course, this snake soup is not used to being outsiders.

Today there was a mountain qi to a dragon weaving, offering a live bearded snake. Although it was not as exaggerated as more than ten feet in length, it was very large. Li Fozi, the snake soup made by him could not be eaten by him. Therefore, his family also had a good time, and the whole family and the whole family went to eat it together.

The kitchen craftsmanship is very good, and the bearded snake soup is extremely delicious. Li Fozi is still satisfied with eating it, but he only feels the fragrance between his teeth and the aftertaste is endless.

The familiar smell evokes old past events, and he remembers the days when he followed coach Li Tianbaodong to hide in Tibet. He was still young at that time, but his life was not as comfortable as he is now.

Shortly after the establishment of the Wanchun Kingdom, the Liang army launched a large-scale invasion. Liang general Chen Ba repeatedly damaged Wanchun's army. King Li Ben could only take his men to escape into the mountains and forests, defect to the cavemen to avoid the Liang army's pursuit, and finally died of illness.

After Li Ben's death, Wanchun Kingdom split, and the Liang army then targeted Li Tianbao. Li Tianbao was chased and had no way to go to the earth and led his subordinates to escape into the mountains and forests. At least he could survive and build a "Taolang" city, which was for the Taolang King.

As a subordinate, Li Fozi also lives in Taolang City. The mountains are no more than plains. The so-called eating mountains by relying on the mountains, eating whatever is in the mountains. The food that Li Fozi can't forget the most is the bearded snake meat.

The huge bearded snake is enough for many people to share, which is a rare delicacy, but to obtain such a delicacy, one has to exchange for human life.

As a subordinate, Li Fozi had to share his worries for the commander, so he would be ordered to take people to catch the bearded snake from time to time. This kind of errand is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, someone will die.

The bearded snake opens its mouth and bites it, and if it is bitten, it will immediately break if it is bitten. If it is wrapped around it, the bones of the whole body will be slammed by it in just a moment. Every time a bearded snake is caught, at least one life will be taken into account.

If you are a subordinate, you have to do even if you are reluctant to do anything dangerous, but now it is the opposite.

A leader in the once ragged Taolang City was often worried about how to catch the bearded snake. Now this leader is King Wanchun. He enjoys the bearded snake that others pay tribute to in the big city of Longwoven.

Li Fozi didn't need to take any risks to eat the delicious bearded snake soup. All of this is due to power. Once this taste of power is tasted, it will never be abandoned.

So he had to fight hard no matter what, thinking that as long as he could defeat the invading Zhou army, or at least he would lose the other party to retreat, he would use the same trick again and say he would surrender on the surface, but in fact he was still the master of Jiaozhou.

We have been serious about operating for decades and slowly expanding our sphere of influence. At that time...

"Master, Master, something happened!"

The sudden emergency response interrupted Li Fozi's thoughts. Looking at his panicked subordinate, he did not have an attack but calmly asked what happened. As a king, he must have the demeanor of a king.

"King! There are people outside the city just now..."

The subordinates who came to report the news said the whole story: At night, the city gates of Longbian City had been closed due to a curfew, and the soldiers on duty on the city were found that someone came from Nanjin and ran under the city wall regardless of the warning and shouted.

The man said that something happened to Qu Yi in the afternoon, and some thieves attacked the city and started killing the fugitives who had escaped from the city. He had not yet entered the city, but he saw that the situation was not good, so he ran back with his entourage.

Fortunately, he had a horse to travel for him and ran faster and escaped by luck. However, his followers on foot disappeared. He was afraid he was finished. It was already night when he returned to the Dragon Wedding. He ventured to cross the river to the north bank and dared not spend the night outside the city, so he bit the bullet and called the door.

The soldier on the night recognized this person as a minor official in the prefecture. Although he did not shoot arrows to drive him away, he was afraid that he would be a thief and come to make a profit. However, what this person said was serious. After a moment of confusion, he put down the basket with a rope and let him sit in the hanging basket and enter the city.

After asking about the situation carefully, several generals of the city patrol also felt that the matter was important. After discussing for a while, they felt that something might have happened to Qu Yi, so they did not dare to delay and reported it to Li Fozi.

"What happened to Qu Yi?" Li Fozi murmured to himself. Although his face was calm, his heart jumped violently. Qu Yi was only fifty or sixty miles away from the Dragon Marshal. If the cavalry attacked, I'm afraid...

I'm afraid it's Zhou Jun coming!

This is impossible!

Li Fozi was thinking about this emergency. He pretended to be sick to receive an envoy sent by King Xiyang of Zhou, and then the other party left to Anzhou to report his life. It has only been a few days since then, why has the Zhou army been in front of him?

He thought maybe the King of Xiyang had already arranged troops when he was sending envoys. Once he learned that he was unwilling to go to Anzhou, he immediately asked these troops to cross the sea and landed in the Longbian Port to directly take the Dragonbian.

This is not impossible, but Li Fozi still felt that the chance was very small. The Zhou army had just entered the ridge for a few months, and people were still unstable. How could so many ships carry their troops across the sea and march westward, unless there were the help of Feng Xian, Gaoliang or Ning, Anzhou.

But unless the heads of these two wealthy families took the wrong medicine, how could they sincerely vote for Zhou State in a short period of time? Even though they used to be the government of Chen State, they didn't seem to be so enthusiastic about it.

Li Fozi felt that he must have thought too much. There were many ships parked in Longbian Port, and news from all over the world gathered here. In the past few months, the situation of the ridge was reported, such as the Zhou army crossing Dayu Ridge, Chen army suffered a great defeat, and Fan Yu fell, he learned the relevant news through the crew members of Longbian Port.

He also knew that Yuwen Wen led people to take Feng's fleet to sea from Fanyu, heading westward. When he arrived in Anzhou, he sent an envoy to Longbian, but he had never heard of anyone mentioning that there were other Zhou troops who were separated.

Not to mention that he sent General Li Puding to Longbian Port yesterday to do business. Today, he should be in Longbian Port. Something really happened to happen. Why didn’t there be anyone who reported the news?

Thinking of this, Li Fozi asked, "Who has that minor official said what kind of flag the thief who attacked Qu Yi brought?"

"King, this person has not entered the city, but he turned around and ran away from afar when he saw something wrong. However, according to what he said, most of the other party seemed to be riding a horse and did not give up the banner."

"Riding a horse? Nayer and others think that these thieves were Zhou army or bold thieves who attacked Qu Yi while the government was unprepared?"

"The king, I think it's possible..."

Seeing Li Fozi's face unwillingness, the general quickly added: "King, the enemy's situation is unknown, so you must not respond hastily. I believe that the city defense should be strengthened tonight and that the troops should be sent to Quyi tomorrow, so that I can find out the truth."

This suggestion is good, Li Fozi agreed deeply. At this moment, another general rushed over and presented a silk book: "King, several riders came outside the city just now. After shooting a few silk books, they entered the city and disappeared..."

When I opened the silk book, I saw a few big words written on it: The Tianzhou official army is here, Li Fozi is about to surrender.

The twelve characters are written like ghost drawing talismans, with no grammar at all. They even wrote six words incorrectly. There are also problems with the words: Tian Zhou? Are you trying to write Da Zhou?
