Chapter 17 The general's general, do you know what the Tang Dynasty is? The candlelight flickered, and Li Xingyun rested his hands on the table to carefully examine the current world map. Next to him, the intelligence from all over the world collected by the Bad People over the years was piled on the ground eight feet high. Li Xingyun knew he would not be able to close his eyes first stack of intelligence is about the Daliang Emperor, Zhu Wen. He started out as a scoundrel and later became the brave and warlike Zhu Quanzhong. Five years ago, Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor and upgraded Bianzhou to Kaifeng Prefecture and named it the Eastern Capital. Three years ago, he moved the capital to Luoyang and named it the Western Capital. Before Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor, he was worthy of being called a hero. He was insidious, cunning, brave and good at fighting, and he had many talented people under his command. However, after Zhu Wen proclaimed himself emperor and his first wife Zhang died of illness, his debauched, cruel and bloodthirsty side completely broke out. This man not only fought in places similar to Cao Cao, but he also liked other people's wives. However, Zhu Wen's perversion was far beyond what Prime Minister Cao could achieve. Whenever Zhu Wen's sons and adopted sons were fighting outside, he would fight for his own daughter-in-law. What was even more absurd was that Zhu Wen's sons would offer their wives to him in order to win his favor... "It's really a mess." Li Xingyun couldn't help but complain when he saw this. This family is really a mess that is beyond description. After marking the intelligence of some important figures in Daliang, Li Xingyun couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Zhu Wen was not far from death, so how to make use of Zhu Wen's death to maximize his own interests? Then Li Xingyun scanned the intelligence of other major forces on the side and immediately read it eagerly. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Intelligence is the top priority in the struggle for hegemony in troubled times! In the Kingdom of Shu, Wang Jian unified the two Sichuan provinces. Although he was a powerful ruler, he was old and his juniors were not fit for important positions. Moreover, Wang Jian still regarded Li Tang as the orthodox one and had never submitted to Zhu Wen. If an army was raised to destroy Liang this time, he would definitely respond. However, Li Xingyun knew that after tasting the power, he would have to fight for it if he wanted him to submit to him. The nail of Xu Cun had already been planted, and he would definitely be of great use in the future. Wu was founded by Yang Xingmi, the governor of Huainan. However, Yang Xingmi was dead at this time. The fate of Wu was in the hands of its prime minister Xu Wen. The puppet emperor Yang Wei was just a mascot. Xu Wen was ambitious and would definitely get a piece of the pie after destroying Liang! Although this country only appeared a few times in The Bad Guys, Xu Wen and his son definitely had a place on the stage of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The King of Chu, Ma Yin, claimed to be a descendant of General Ma Yuan, and made it his national policy to serve the emperor above and the people below. He was a fence-sitter, swaying with the wind and obeying whoever had the bigger fist. This country had already submitted to Zhu Wen, and two years ago, Zhu Wen conferred him the title of General Tiance. "Tsk, you are worthy." Li Xingyun licked his dry lips, feeling insulted by the words "General Tiance". Li Xingyun will definitely visit this old guy in person in the future. Wuyue, like Chu, was a country that was dedicated to protecting its territory and its people. This kind of vassal king who would submit to whoever was stronger was actually the most difficult to deal with. Although this kind of vassal king would pay homage to the outside world at any time, they held the military and political power tightly in their hands, and they were quite popular among the local people. This kind of vassal king was the biggest obstacle for Li Xingyun when he was going to reduce the power of the vassal kings in the future.

There is Wu Kingdom between Min Kingdom and Liang Kingdom, but the emperor is far away, so it is not within Li Xingyun's consideration for the time being. In Southern Han, the Liu brothers had ambitions to rule the Lingnan area, but Liu Yin died of illness last year, and only one of the two tigers is left, so there is no need to worry. Qi, now Qi King Li Maozhen has gone to Raojiang, and the Empress of Huanyinfang has temporarily taken over the throne of Qi King. "Empress... King Qi..." Li Xingyun muttered to himself, with his hands on the table. King Qi was now in the Twelve Caves of Raojiang. The Qi Kingdom was supported by the Empress alone. If an army was raised to destroy Liang, the Empress, who still regarded the Tang Dynasty as the orthodox one, would surely respond. Dingnan was located in the northeast of Qi State and adjacent to Jin State. The Dangxiang clan ruled here, which was the predecessor of Western Xia during the Song Dynasty. The Dangxiang clan sent troops to aid the Tang Dynasty during the Huang Chao Uprising, so the Dangxiang Tuoba clan was given the national surname, Li. Although the Dangxiang people were a nomadic people before, with the great ethnic integration during the Tang Dynasty, their living habits have become increasingly similar to those of the Han people. Their power reached its peak during the Song Dynasty, and they had an ambition to rule the Central Plains. "The Dangxiang at this time does not have the strength of the Song Dynasty in official history, so you can try it." Li Xingyun sighed. Chaos, too chaotic! In such a mess, it's no wonder that Yuan Tiangang is powerless. One person's strength is really hard to overcome the sky. After sighing, Li Xingyun continued to read on. The State of Yan occupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, also known as the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. It had a vast territory and was an important place in the north. Last year, Liu Shouguang, the governor of Lulong, imprisoned his father and proclaimed himself emperor. He named his country Great Yan and claimed to have 300,000 armored soldiers, and he sat in the south and watched the world. Li Xingyun drew a cross on this person's intelligence. This person is stupid, lustful, greedy and shameless. According to the official history, he will soon be destroyed by Li Cunxu. However, before he dies, there is a chance to persuade him to go south once, so as to create more trouble for Li Cunxu. Wang Rong of Zhao is located between the three kingdoms of Jin, Liang and Yan. He can be said to be trying to survive in the cracks. Wang Rong is a man of talent, but he is also in urgent need of changes to break the crisis. He can be used. Khitan. At this time, Yelu Abaoji was still dealing with the civil strife among his brothers. The Khitan clan, also referred to as the Northern Desert in the play, was invisible in the early stage of the turbulent times and was suppressed by Li Cunxu. It gradually emerged after Li Cunxu's death. Raojiang, the land of Miao, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, the Twelve Caves... "There is no such force in this place in the official history, but this is a fictional world, where death and resurrection are possible..." Li Xingyun frowned slightly. The military altar of Raojiang and the secrets of the Twelve Caves, the trip to Raojiang is unavoidable. The State of Jin, the three rulers of this country were Li Keyong, Li Cunxu and Li Siyuan, none of these three were easy to deal with. Both Li Keyong and Li Cunxu died rather hastily in the play. In fact, ten years after Li Keyong's death, when Li Xingyun in the play was a gynecologist and mingled with women, Li Cunxu conquered the world with three arrows, destroyed Liang, broke Qi, took Yanyun, defeated Khitan, attacked Former Shu, and destroyed Zhao. It's a pity that his deeds and even these years were all glossed over, and he was only given a pitiful shot when he finally died at the hands of an actor. "He regarded the Longquan treasure as dirt and sent troops to Bianzhou. Li Yazi, the god of war of the Five Dynasties, was a hero in the world and no one could compete with him... This person is the real enemy!" Li Xingyun silently put a cross on Li Cunxu and then put away the list. This man was too strong. Now, he was far inferior to him. How could he break the impasse? …… "Your Highness, it's dawn..." A figure suddenly appeared in Li Xingyun's house. Looking at the burnt-out oil lamp and the table full of read-through intelligence on the bad guys, Yuan Tiangang suddenly felt a little melancholy. After supporting the Tang Dynasty for so many years, the Li family finally gave him another outstanding person. "Your Highness, have you not slept all night?"

"I can't sleep, Yuan Tiangang, how did you feel when you saw these news?" Li Xingyun leaned on the table, folded his arms and looked at Yuan Tiangang and asked. Yuan Tiangang clenched his fist and said, "These people are all thieves who stole the Tang Dynasty. They all deserve to die!" "Haha, you really have a murderous intention." Li Xingyun couldn't help laughing. Yuan Tiangang was really domineering, but even if he killed them all, it wouldn't solve the problem, otherwise Yuan Tiangang would have taken action long ago. Yuan Tiangang laughed and said, "I am the knife of the Tang Dynasty. The emperors of the Tang Dynasty have always been the ones who wield the knife. In terms of strategy, I am not as good as Fang Xuanling; in terms of literary governance, I am not as good as Zhangsun Wuji; in terms of admonition, I am not as good as Wei Zheng; in terms of decisiveness, I am not as good as Du Ruhui; in terms of military affairs, I am not as good as Emperor Taizong. My only strength is, as Your Highness said yesterday, to become the obsession of the Tang Dynasty and to keep living." "One day, when the world is united, I will follow you to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty." Li Xingyun put his hand on Yuan Tiangang's shoulder with a serious face. Yuan Tiangang's figure was shocked, and he felt an impulse to die for his confidant. But Li Xingyun said again: "General, do you know what the Tang Dynasty is?" 　Brothers, I bought a map book of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Tsk, this period of history, my god, is too chaotic. Someone becomes emperor every other day. If "The Bad Guys" were to be filmed according to history, I guess the period about Li Cunxu alone could be filmed into ten seasons.
