Chapter 16: I Don't Want (Part I)
Many times it doesn't mean that you don't take the initiative to provoke others, others won't take the initiative to provoke you, Li Chengzong and Su Lie have recently encountered such a troublesome thing, their brothers have worked hard to accumulate strength in Fuyang, and they don't want to provoke anyone, but even so, their brothers are still being targeted.
Eyeing them, this majestic in the river Dingdu Le Shou, self-proclaimed to wipe the sheep Gong, this surname Dou name Jiande, this goods is not simple, the small official was born, but also a brave and resourceful master, not long ago he actually killed the famous general Guo Xuan of the Great Sui with a trick of deception, although in the next battle, his old master Gao Shida was killed by Lao Yang on the battlefield because he did not listen to his advice, he fled with more than 100 people, and when he arrived in Raoyang County, he saw that he was defenseless, so he laid down to appease the people in the city, many people were willing to follow him, and there were more than 3,000 horses.
Lao Yang originally wanted to continue to attack Dou Jiande, but unfortunately His Majesty Yang Er no longer had the wisdom and martial arts of the year, and became a complete pig teammate, and dismissed Lao Yang (Yang Yichen)'s official, and Dou Jiande got a chance to breathe, and his army was even more prosperous, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers.
Dou Jiande intends to unify Hebei, how to allow Li Chengzong and Su Dingfang to disobey his power to exist, he first sent his cronies and advisers Ling Jing to persuade Su Lie and Li Chengzong to surrender, after being rejected by the two, Dou Jiande was furious and sent his number one general Wang Fubao to command 30,000 troops to attack, but in the face of Li Chengzong's design of the fortress defense system, he was helpless, coupled with Su Lie and Li Chengzong's internal and external cooperation, Wang Fubao was defeated, 30,000 people died 6,000, and more than 20,000 were captured, Only then did Dou Jiande know that Su Lie and Li Chengzong were not easy to mess with.
"Grandma's, the court is dizzy?? We are not the officials and soldiers of the imperial court? Why obey Duan Da's dispatch? He also fucking wants us to go to Luoyang to participate in the suppression of Wagangzhai, what is the reason? Su Lie said to Li Chengzong, he is now full of anger, it is easy for the two of them to pull up this team, and it is not that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court can eat the imperial grain, nor do they live by burning and looting like those so-called righteous soldiers, they really rely on the support of the people they protect, plus Li Chengzong is resourceful, he planned the way forward early, and raised soldiers with business, which is why they have the Fuyang Army of their brothers, and the brothers have never expressed their opposition to the court, but they have never said that they will join the court. Besides, even if they joined the imperial court, they didn't want to follow Duan Da, let alone go to the flesh mill in Luoyang, not to mention that most of the road from Fuyang to Luoyang was stuck by the rebels.
"Big brother, the court has come to make a will?? It's easy to do, let's just listen to the tune or not listen to the announcement, we want to dispatch us, please ask Your Majesty to personally issue an order, if it is simply Luoyang to stay and dispatch? Hmph, where are you going......."
"Brother Xian, good idea, our tens of thousands of soldiers are precious, how can we lose on the battlefield of the Central Plains in vain, just for the selfish interests of some people, we want to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of people, don't think, I will go to the end of some of their thoughts, by the way, Brother Xian, I heard that your grandfather Tang Guogong has been inquiring about your whereabouts, he didn't expect that Li Wei in the mighty earthquake is his grandson Li Chengzong......."
"Hey, my grandfather, he is now the spokesperson of the Guanlongmen valve, if there is chaos today, I am afraid that he will also have the intention of competing for the world........ In this world, hum, the one who steals the hook is punished, and the one who steals the country is Hou!
"Hey, according to Brother Xian, even if the new dynasty is established, it is just a new Great Sui, and it is still the royal family and the family gate lord in the world, right?"
"Hmm. Please trust the judgment of the younger brother, the younger brother estimates that next year will be the year of chaos......"
Li Chengzong sighed, now the situation is obvious, the major families have been deeply involved, and for the leaders of each family to seize the world, war is a chess game, the picturesque country is the chessboard, the roads are the warp and weft, and the lives that have fallen and are falling are chess pieces, a box of lifeless, emotionless, and flesh-and-blood chess pieces.
The leaders and great men who compete for the world are all good chess players who focus on the overall situation, and their hearts are cold and calm enough. For them, in this game of chess for the world, warmth never exists, as long as the final outcome is victory, then there is no need to care how many pieces are lost in the process. Once the success is done, which emperor will not enjoy wealth and nobility with peace of mind after sitting firmly in the world? Who remembers those stupid stepping stones that died on the battlefield to get to the top of power? In the eyes of these "smart people", if the former Han Gaozu could not have the ruthlessness of sharing a piece of meat soup from his father, he would not have founded the foundation of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. And his dirty act of pushing his wife and children off the carriage one after another just to escape for his life can also be seen as a resolute and decisive move that is not troubled by personal feelings and focuses on the great cause of the people of the world and the family and country.
This troubled era is destined to be a place for heroes, and the so-called hero is the one who stands at the top of the pile of bones. For those who are interested in competing for the world of China, they have not yet ascended to the throne, just because the white bones under their feet are not high enough. So in the following years, they will continue to pile up until they are higher than all the heroes who compete with them. What is the life of hundreds of thousands of minions? Throughout the ages, which achiever has not made great sacrifices?
Even your own brother can fill it in if necessary. As long as the pinnacle of this pile of white bones can be equal to the throne of the Son of Heaven, as long as this pile of white bones can pave the way to the Jinluan Palace, then everything is worth it. As for whether the ugliness and darkness he revealed in the process will leave an infamy in history, no one has ever scrupled about this. After all, the history of the future will be written by the victors.
Don't look at the old and new Tang books in the future, as well as various historical books, all describe Li Yuan as an uprising in Jinyang, saving the people from fire and water, and hanging the people to fight crimes, but to be honest, isn't his real motive still robbing money, land, and women, and finally developing to rob the world?
"Brother Xian, what should we do?" Su Lie finally asked.
"What to do? Hahaha. Cool salad ......." Li Chengzong finally said, "Don't look at Tang Guogong as my deabling, but the scholar clan he represents is the mortal enemy of you and me, you say I can send my own head upside down?" Hmph, if you want to use your family or something to restrain me, then they have the wrong idea and the wrong target!"
Li Chengzong's words, well, Su Lie is very supportive, he understands the political ambitions and ambitions of his virtuous brother, and besides, with the temperament of his virtuous brother, how can he be willing to make a wedding dress for others?
Just when Li Chengzong and Su Lie were discussing the future of Fuyang and their brothers, an uninvited guest had to ask their brothers to stop and face this person seriously.........
