Chapter 136 Li Cunxu’s three arrows, Li Keyong’s fear! Of course, the reason these actors feared the most was that Li Keyong had actually killed someone, and he did it in front of Li Cunxu..."I've met my father!" Li Cunxu stood up with his still injured body to salute Li Keyong. Li Keyong waved his hand and said, "My son's injury is not healed yet, no need to be polite." Li Keyong looked at Li Cunxu, whose face was not very good, and said calmly: "Three arrows, one has been broken. The defeat of Zhao State was only caused by the villain, not your strange plan. Why are you so sad, my son?" Li Cunxu's brows slightly relaxed when he heard this, but the depression in his heart still could not dissipate. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was. He just felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from above his head. Li Cunxu bowed to Li Keyong and said, "Father, Liu Rengong and Liu Shouguang have not been eliminated, and the great revenge has not been avenged. This matter is not over yet!" When Li Keyong retired due to illness and handed over power to the country, he gave three arrows to Li Cunxu. These three arrows represented the three major forces that threatened the State of Jin. The person that Li Keyong wanted Li Cunxu to kill with the first arrow was Liu Shouguang's father Liu Rengong, who had now been taken by Liu Shouguang to flee to Liang State. When Liu Rengong led his troops to attack Youzhou and failed, he came to Taiyuan to seek refuge with Li Keyong. Li Keyong not only gave him fertile land and a mansion, but also led his troops to help him conquer Youzhou. Later, in order to win over Liu Rengong, Li Keyong asked the court for the position of Jiedushi of Lulong Army for him. Later, Emperor Zhaozong of Tang was kidnapped, Zhu Wen and Li Maozhen were powerful, and Li Keyong asked Liu Rengong to borrow troops from Lulong to assist the emperor. Not only did Liu Rengong refuse to lend the troops, but he also wrote a letter to abuse Li Keyong. After Zhu Wen established the Liang Dynasty, Liu Rengong became a fence-sitter and defected to him. However, this man was also a wicked person who would be punished by his own wickedness. Liu Rengong's son Liu Shouguang not only cuckolded him, but also led his troops to rebel against him and seized the position of Lulong Jiedushi! Li Keyong snorted coldly and said, "This father and son are worse than pigs and dogs. Now that Youzhou has been lost, even if they surrender to Zhu Youzhen, they will not be able to achieve anything. They are just meat on the chopping board, not worth worrying about."
Li Cunxu also knew that what Li Keyong said was true, so he nodded and said, "Father, what you said makes sense." At this time, Li Keyong continued calmly, "There has been a lot of movement in Mobei recently. After replacing the Yaonian clan as the leader of the alliance, the kid Yelu Abaoji has unified the Khitan tribes and established a trade market for the tribes in Yangcheng. Mobei is vast, and Yelu Abaoji has the ability to become emperor, but he is not the only one who covets the throne. Yelu Lage has sent a letter to your father, asking you to send troops to help them take back the Khan position from Yelu Abaoji." Li Cunxu's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he said, "This Yelu Abaoji is a disaster, he should be eliminated as soon as possible!" Several years ago, when Yelu Abaoji had just begun to emerge in Khitan, he became brothers with Li Keyong. The two exchanged clothes and horses, and Li Keyong agreed to fight Zhu Wen together. However, when Li Keyong was fighting with Zhu Wen a few years later, Yelu Abaoji stabbed him in the back many times and went south to the Central Plains to plunder people and property. With Yelu Abaoji's efforts over the years, Khitan had developed from an ordinary tribal civilization to the prototype of an empire. Upon hearing this, Li Keyong said in a deep voice: "Yelu Abaoji is a man who can bend and stretch, and he values our Central Plains culture very much. He has great ambitions. If he is allowed to become emperor, the Khitan Kingdom will definitely be a great threat to our Central Plains in the future. Your father has sent Shang to unite with Yelu Lage, Yelu Huage, Yelu Xiadi and others to assassinate Yelu Abaoji. If this still fails to kill him, then we can only see who is stronger on the battlefield." Li Cunxu smiled faintly and said: "Father, don't worry. With Shang's move, Yelu Abaoji, who is only at the Zhongtian level, will definitely die. As long as the Khitan is still a tribal alliance, there is nothing to be afraid of. If they dare to go south to invade our Central Plains in the future, I will make sure they never return!" Li Cunxu actually didn't finish his words. Even if Yelü Abaoji proclaimed himself emperor, what would happen? In his eyes, he would be beaten as usual! Li Keyong nodded slightly upon seeing this. Although his son did not like martial arts, he was a real military genius. He already had the style of an emperor in marching and fighting. Now he only needed a few more years of training, and he could abdicate the throne of King of Jin to him. Li Cunxu then continued the previous topic and said, "Father, now that Zhu Wen is dead, Qi has captured Chang'an and other places, and Shu has also captured Jiangling Prefecture. I think Liang is also slowly heading towards its end. After I recover from my injury, I plan to gather troops to destroy Zhao first, and then concentrate on dealing with Liang." Li Cunxu was very angry about the ambush of Zhao State this time. If he couldn't vent his anger, he would probably not be able to sleep well for several months. Killing Zhu Wen and destroying Daliang was one of the three arrows that Li Keyong gave to Li Cunxu. Li Keyong had fought against Huang Chao together with Zhu Wen, but because of Li Keyong's strength, Zhu Wen was afraid of Li Keyong and tried to ambush and kill Li Keyong several times. However, Li Keyong's own cultivation was strong enough and his luck was good, so he could avoid the killing plan set by Zhu Wen every time. Thinking of the process of fighting with Zhu Wen, Li Keyong couldn't help but sigh and said: "Although Zhu Wen was born a ruffian, his ruffian spirit made him famous in the chaotic times. There are still many talented people in Liang. You must not underestimate them. Not to mention the four old guys of Xuanming Sect, even Yang Shihou of Wei Bo is still alive and well. The first major defeat since you led the army was caused by him." At this point, Li Cunxu was also quite unwilling to say: "The Silver Spear Army under his command is like a madman, not afraid of death in battle. Besides, that old man has a very high level of cultivation, even my tenth brother is no match for him. At his age, he can lead the Silver Spear Army to break through my army formation. I am afraid that only you, father, can kill him personally." "Father? Father can't do anything now." When Li Keyong said this, his eyes flickered and his brows frowned slightly. "Why? Father, you have already practiced the Supreme Saint Qiankun Kung Fu to perfection. Who in the world can be your opponent?" Li Cunxu could not help but ask the question deep in his heart at this time. His father has been very cautious and has not left the house recently. What is he afraid of? At this time, Li Keyong suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Li Cunxu's defeat in Zhao State, "Do you know why you were defeated in Zhao State?" "What?" Li Cunxu thought for a moment and said without hesitation, "It's because Wang Rong was too useless that Zhang Wenli betrayed him at the critical moment. Otherwise, with my plan, we could have destroyed the State of Zhao while borrowing the road!" "Humph!" Li Keyong snorted coldly and said, "Wang Rong is a waste, it's true, but how can a man who can be sandwiched between the three kingdoms and still be the King of Zhao for so many years be completely useless? At least he should have mastered the skills of checking and balancing his subordinates. I have already sent people from the Tongwen Academy to inquire about it. Zhang Wenli's military power had been stripped away by Wang Rong before the mutiny!" Li Keyong pushed the wheelchair and turned to look at the sky, saying in a deep voice: "Then how did he suddenly launch a mutiny? I suspect that there is a big hand behind all this!"
