Chapter 678: The Gentry

However, Li Jing did not take it easy for a long time, just when he appointed Li Dang, who had returned to Taiyuan, as the guard of Yanmen Pass, and when he returned to Taiyuan, he received a good report from Li Qiao on the way. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it is good news, but in fact, it was Li Qiao who captured Liaoshan County, followed by Yang Xiong's letter, which still says how Li Qiao defeated Liaoshan County, and then killed Liaoshan County into a river of blood, and almost all the gentry in Liaoshan County were destroyed, and Li Qiao's soldiers and horses directly followed Tian Hu's army into Zhaode Mansion.

"This sixth uncle!" Li Jing didn't know what to do with the letter in his hand.

"General, at this time, the entire Hedong Road will be shaken, what General Li has done is already appalling, and I don't know how many gentry are looking at the general, waiting for the general's disposal." Li Fu said in a low voice. At this time, he did not call the other party the sixth brother, which is enough to show that in Li Fu's heart, he already has a trace of dissatisfaction with his sixth brother.

"Yes, even if these gentry have no contact with each other, and even have some dirty, it cannot be denied that they are all a collective, and the sixth uncle uses this way to deal with the gentry, maybe in their eyes, all this is decided by me. I must have thought I was a butcher. Li Jing put the letter aside and said, "When I return to Taiyuan, I don't know how many people will trouble me." ”

"General, it is rare for an army of 20,000 to achieve such a record, General Li is just a pioneer in the end, but now he is playing the role of a large army, and the 20,000 army has also increased to 30,000, which shows that General Li's military talent is still very good." In the end, it was a brother, Li Fu reluctantly explained.

"Naturally, I knew it, and I didn't even decide to punish him." Li Jing said nonchalantly: "What, does Uncle Nine think I will set off Sixth Uncle?" If I were punished, it would be a big joke! Where are the immortals in the war, since they have betrayed me Li Jing, then they should be prepared for the fate of being killed, collude with traitors, and kill all over the house, isn't this just how to deter some people? If anyone opposes, then let him lead the army to fight and seize the cities that were taken by Tian Hu and Haoqiang in collusion. ”

Li Fu's face turned red, the literati were high, where could he march and fight, he was just sharp-tongued, and he wanted to do other things, but it was much worse. But soon, he still showed a hint of worry, it can be imagined that in Taiyuan City, which is not far away, there must be many eyes looking at Li Jing, waiting for Li Jing's disposal. Once it is not handled well, it will also affect Li Jing's foundation on Hedong Road.

"Uncle Jiu, don't worry, you think too highly of those heroes, don't forget how strong the family was back then, affecting the government and even the rise and fall of the dynasty, but in the end? There are still many families that have survived, and they have all disappeared into the long river of history with the outbreak of war over time. It's the same with Haoqiang, as long as I stay strong at all times, these Haoqiang, and even those who are scholars, will listen to my orders and even work for me. Li Jing saw Li Fu's uneasiness and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"I hope so." Li Fu was still a little worried in his heart.

In the city of Taiyuan, the lights are on, but the huge Taiyuan city is in the dark night, compared with the calm and darkness of the outer city, the rich area around the general's mansion and the government is shrouded in lights, shining the square circle into the day, this is the rich area.

In a huge mansion, some scholars or a group of pot-bellied people gathered together, but in the middle of the hall sat an old man, with a kind face, but he was wearing a long robe, holding a wine glass in his hand, and smiling.

"Today's sixty-fourth birthday, I originally invited a few friends to get together, but I didn't expect so many friends to come to the cold house, Wang Pu is grateful." The old man said with a smile.

"Mr. Wang is too polite."

"Yes! Old gentleman's birthday, how can I not come? ”

In the hall, everyone showed a smile on their faces, Wang Pu is a celebrity in Taiyuan City, not only from a good background, inheriting the Taiyuan Wang family of the previous dynasty, but more importantly, the current Wang Pu is a scholar in Taiyuan City, under his hands, I don't know how many scholars have been produced, and he is called a grandmaster. It can be said that there are people all over the world, no wonder so many people can be gathered.

"I just don't know why Lord Zhang didn't come? Why didn't Lord Zhao Dingzhao come? After everyone congratulated, suddenly someone in the crowd opened their mouths and said. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange, and some people even looked at the person who spoke, but saw that it was a young man, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of disdain.

"Hehe, Lord Zhao and Lord Zhang have a lot of opportunities, where do they have time to attend the old birthday banquet?" Wang Pu suddenly smiled. Everyone around them also nodded, and the hall suddenly returned to its original appearance.

"Mr. Wang is really polite, isn't it because Li Jing's people are a group of reckless men, let the two adults come, I'm afraid it won't look good." An abrupt voice came out again, and everyone looked over, and their faces suddenly turned bad.

"Jiang Xiao, what are you talking nonsense?" Wang Pu reprimanded: "Give you wine to drink, can't you still stop your mouth?" Where is gibberish? Come, serve him two more jugs of wine, and drink on the side. Although Wang Pu was reprimanding the other party, there was a hint of protection in his words.

"Mr. Wang, although this Jiang Xiao is a madman, there are some things that are not wrong, how can Li Jing not say it for the time being, but he can't care about the bloody washing of Yushe by his generals." A middle-aged man stood up and said loudly: "Where are the gentry of Yushe who are wrong, everyone is just facing the oppression of Tian Hu, forced to open the city gate, forced to support Tian Hu, and later when the Northern Army came, the gentry of Yushe also opened the city gate and let the Northern Army enter the city, for which the head of the Chang family was also killed by Fang Xuedu." But look at what Li Qiao did when he entered the Yu Society, and the entire Yu Society was washed in blood, and some gentry didn't know how many died. The younger generation is definitely quite bad in this matter, if it goes on like this for a long time, we gentry can't guarantee our lives, how to serve the court! ”

"Yes, yes! Old gentleman, you are the head of Shilin, and your reputation is far and wide, even Lord Zhao Ding, Zhang Xiaochun and Lord Zhang also have great respect for you. Someone in the crowd said.

Wang Pu's complexion changed, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes, at this time, he knew why when he was celebrating his birthday, why so many people came uninvited, not because he was very attractive, but because these people had other plans, and wanted to let themselves come forward to persecute Li Jing, but was it really just for the sake of Yushe? Wang Pu's dry palm was clenched tightly.
