I'm the one running the game

After Lü Xingshi and Murong Xuan took a small portion of the gold and silver from the treasury, they resumed their peaceful lives and waited for the intelligence from Tingfeng Pavilion.

However, before they could get the intelligence, they heard the news of foreigners entering the pass.

This time it was no longer the barbarians, but the four tribes of the barbarians, the barbarians, the Rongdi, and the barbarians who came one after another. They first broke through the Tiange Pass, and then entered the northern part of the border, defeating the Song army. In the end, they could only use the Tianzhi Mountains as a barrier to stop the four tribes. They are temporarily blocked for now.

As for the reasons, Lü Xingshi and his men learned some of them through Tingfeng Pavilion. It was probably the military generals who operated and the civil officials interfered. They believed that even if they lost, they could not let the military generals make merits, so a group of laymen commanded the experts, and they died on the spot.

Then the military generals took the blame, giving everyone an operation that caught everyone off guard, which implicated a large number of capable military generals.

During the Liao Dynasty, the northern frontier was ruled by military commanders, and civil officials could not interfere. After the death of the Liao King, the entire northern frontier was controlled by the civil official group, so a large number of civil officials were sent to supervise the army. It was true that they did not know military affairs, but they knew how to take credit.

Then, the barbarian chieftain Aha took advantage of this trend and unified the four tribes of barbarians, Yi, Rongdi, and claimed to be sworn brothers with the Liao King who fell into the water and died in the northern frontier. Therefore, he also called himself king after his brother died, and called the current emperor his sworn father. Now he has become the new Liao King in the northern frontier.

This matter naturally angered the court. You, a mere barbarian, dared to call yourself the King of Liao, so the court and the rivers and lakes were filled with righteous indignation.

However, the new Liao King was thick-skinned, and after experiencing the last failure, he had made great improvements. Through the transformation and self-naturalization of the northern frontier, he claimed the principle of sworn brothers and quickly digested the northern frontier. It would not be so easy to drive him out again.

First, it was because they controlled the pass, and second, the military officers were afraid.

They were not afraid of the new King of Liao, but the court.

In the situation of using civil officials to control military officials, civil officials were valued over military officials. Now the court was still controlled by civil officials. If they won, they would be trivialized and their achievements would be reduced, and if they lost, they would be killed.

So most of them stayed at home on the pretext of illness.

However, under high pressure, they mobilized a large army, with a total of 100,000 people, ready to annihilate the "King of Liao" Ahachu in one fell swoop.

After hearing the news, Lu Xingshi was also very surprised. He did not expect Ahachu to be so powerful. The barbarians were indeed beaten by him, and many problems occurred internally. However, he diverted the contradictions and was able to fool the other three tribes into forming an alliance.

In addition to the righteousness and the clearing of the court, he made himself crazy and even took down the northern frontier.

Of course, these things have to be attributed to Dasong's own death.

The latest information only reached the court to send troops to the northern frontier, and no follow-up has been received.

However, in terms of public opinion control, the court did a good job. The Jianghu and ordinary people were mobilized, and the blame was perfectly passed on. The fault was not the emperor and their loyal civil officials, but the failure of the military generals and the cunning and shameless barbarians.

In this regard, Lu Xingshi had to give a thumbs up.

"After the failure of the Liao King and the Wu King to clear the court twice, Dasong's suppression of the military has become more and more serious."

"Now I'm afraid it's hard to turn back." Murong Xuan said with some worry. Once this "Liao King" crosses the Tianzhi Mountains and continues to go south, Dasong will surely be in ruins.

He doesn't care about the officials in the court, but he can't care about the people of Dasong. Murong Xuan doesn't want to start a war.

Lu Xingshi rolled his eyes: "Master, you are the remnant of the previous dynasty, and you still care about Dasong."

"Dasong's life and death has nothing to do with me, but the people are different." Murong Xuan shook his head and corrected the difference in Lu Xingshi's words.

"Master, why are you looking at me... You don't want me to go north, do you? The four tribes of barbarians, Yi, Rong and Di have joined together, a total of 50,000 people, and in addition to the population that is still migrating in, there must be at least hundreds of thousands of people. I can't beat them." Lv Xingshi's scalp tingled when he was stared at by Murong Xuan.

After occupying the northern frontier, the reason why the "King of Liao" did not continue to move south was not only the Tianzhi Mountains and digestion of forces, but also to bring in all the people living in the Gobi Desert and various desert tribes. 200,000 people are now, and who knows how many people will be in a while.

This move directly won back the hearts of foreign tribes, so the position of Ahachu, the "King of Liao", is so stable and can continue to expand its power.

In other words, the current Ahachu is a big deal, and Dasong's desire to retake the northern frontier is basically no different from fantasy.

Lv Xingshi has no way to solve it. Even if he kills Ahachu, there will be a successor afterwards.

"Alas, whatever, we can only leave it to fate." Murong Xuan sighed, he really didn't want to let Lu Xingshi do such a dangerous thing.

"Don't worry, Cai Qiuhe will take action."

"If the Dasong River and Mountain really change hands, how can he still be the emperor?"

"Do you really think that Ahachu will be controlled by him like the current one? If he has this idea, the Wendao Hall will be destroyed by Ahachu."

"The barbarians and Rongdi will not talk about etiquette with them."

"So the first one to be anxious must be Cai Qiuhe and his Wendao Hall." Lu Xingshi comforted him.

This is true. Can it be equally difficult to usurp the throne from a puppet emperor and from a founding emperor?

What's more, Ah Ha sent out a strong army and horses. Once he entered the Central Plains, Cai Qiuhe had no power to resist.

It can only be said that the other party played a good hand of cards badly, and the good situation was given to outsiders.

Of course, if he changed his position, Lu Xingshi could also understand that Cai Qiuhe could not have thought that the little shrimp who had been beaten by Dasong would dare to resist.

The premise of not daring to resist is that Dasong is very strong and has the strength to beat them violently. Now Dasong is not only weak, but also has an arm broken. It's no wonder that the little shrimp who was beaten turned over and bit off a piece of meat from Dasong.

"That's right, I'm afraid Cai Qiuhe will make another stupid move." Murong Xuan knew that these stupid moves were all good strategies in the eyes of the civil service group, but they were not friendly to Dasong.

"It's better to be a little chaotic. It will be better for me to forcibly seize the inheritance of each sect in the future." Lu Xingshi said slowly.

He doesn't care about Dasong. Song people are people, barbarians are people, they are all the same in his eyes. He is not a Song person, so he has to question whether he is a human.

"You really take advantage of every opportunity..." Murong Xuan heard what Lu Xingshi said, but this time he did not object. It was a mess, so he might as well give his disciple more resources for growth.

In terms of emotion and reason, he naturally favored his disciples rather than outsiders.
