Chapter 414: The Li Clan of Longxi seized power by force

Longxi Li family, the ancestor of the Qin Dynasty Longxi County Shou Li Chong, Li Chong's three generations of business and entrepreneurship eventually became a local family, his grandson Li Xin later became a general of the Qin Dynasty, the Marquis of Longxi.

By the time of the Han Dynasty, the Li clan in Longxi produced an important figure - the flying general Li Guang! Later, Li Guang's grandson Li Ling was captured and surrendered to the Xiongnu, which led to the decline of the reputation of the Li clan in Longxi.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Li clan in Longxi rose again in the troubled times, and there was also a Xiliang king Li Hui, who was known as the first emperor of the Li clan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were also many famous literati, and by the Sui Dynasty, the Li family in Longxi was already a powerful family of the government and the opposition, that is, one of the seven legendary five surnames.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, Li Yuan is also the blood of the Li family in Longxi, of course, Li Yuan has the Hu blood from the maternal line, which is not considered, after all, the inheritance depends on the man.

Li Yuan is a descendant of Li Wei, the king of Xiliang of the Li clan in Longxi, so during the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan won the world and took the surname Li as the national surname, and at the same time, the prestige of the Li family in Longxi also soared.

But because at this time, Li Yuan's branch was already a distant side branch, not a descendant, before Li Yuan became the emperor, the Li family in Longxi had always looked down on it, and now the emperor wants to lean on it again, but it is still not accepted.

That's right, it was Li Yuan who leaned on the Li family in Longxi, because of the thousand-year-old family and the century-old dynasty, in the circle of the family and nobles, the emperor is really nothing great, and the royal family does not dare to provoke these big families, I don't look at Yang Guang's fierce character, and I can only deal with the entire imperial examination system against the family, and I dare not directly use troops?

After becoming the emperor, he was still looked down upon by the Li clan in Longxi, and even the patriarch of the Li clan was afraid that Li Yuan would snatch the name of the Li clan and annex the Li clan in Longxi from now on!

Li Yuan was very dissatisfied, and since then he has become independent, that is, the imperial Li family, and the ancestor is the Taoist Li Er (that is, the sage Lao Tzu), so although the royal family and the Li family of Longxi are related, they have been divided.

Li Chengdao and his wife first borrowed 10,000 troops from the Lingzhou camp in Shuofang, and then rushed to Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu) with the army, found Li Xiaogong to borrow 10,000 troops, and then went straight to Huaili (now Lintao County), the old nest of the Li family in Longxi in the south.

The Li clan in Longxi has deep roots in the local area, is in the rear of Liangzhou, and completely stopped the Gaochang transport team, Li Xiaogong can't know the slightest, but he also knows that this is a war that belongs to Bai Fan, and no one else dares to fight a big family alone, so he didn't get the news and ask for help, and Li Xiaogong didn't come out rashly.

"Great Elder, Great Elder! Oh no, the messenger came to report, saying that Li Chengdao, the king of Anlu County, led an army of 20,000 to Chaohuaili, and he saw that the situation was going to do something to us! The housekeeper hurriedly reported to the Great Elder of the Li Clan.

The patriarch of the Li clan was not there, and he went to the Fanyang Lu clan with five thousand elite dead soldiers, so now the patriarch of the Li family is in charge.

"What's the panic? The Li family in Longxi has stood for thousands of years, who dares to do it to us? What is the situation? The Great Elder shouted.

"According to the news obtained by the spies, the king of Anlu County set out from Chang'an, and brought out 10,000 soldiers and horses to Shuofang, and then transferred to Liangzhou to add 10,000 soldiers and horses, with a total of 20,000 troops, to come to our Huaili. The exact reason for this is unknown.

Did you say that it was for us to detain Bai Fan's goods? This Li Chengdao is Bai Fan's proud disciple. The butler spoke.

The Great Elder pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, nine times out of ten, I didn't expect Bai Fan to be really capable, even the royal family who has been watching from the wall can be moved, the old man doesn't believe it, what about the royal family?" And what about 20,000 troops?

If you really dare to do something to my Li family, everyone in our local area is a soldier, and we are not afraid of his 20,000 people.

Since they are for the sake of those useless cotton goods, they inform the sons and daughters of the guards that they should be in a hurry to obey the power, and there is no need to stick to it anymore, so that they will set fire to all the cotton vehicles that have accumulated in the backlog, and withdraw our men and horses, so as not to be caught by others. ”

The housekeeper clapped his hands and said: "Gao Ming, the great elder Gao Ming, the goods are useless to us, and if you set fire to it, you don't need to be guarded, and you can also cut off the enemy's financial route." ”

"Well, inform your subordinates that in the future, their chariots and horses will come and burn one horse in batches.

Li Chengdao is here, and he can't let him catch our people, so keep it a secret.

I'll go and meet this eldest prince of the Jin Dynasty for a while, and see how amazing the disciples from Zhongnan Academy are! ”

On the other side, on the way from Liangzhou to Huaili.

"Eldest sister, I don't agree that the two of us are divided into two ways, you are a weak woman's family, how can you go out alone?" Li Chengdao persuaded Sister Bai.

There are still two days to reach Huaili, Li Chengdao decided to divide the troops into two routes, all the way to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and all the way to Huaili to dredge the transportation line.

However, Sister Bai proposed that she would lead 10,000 people to dredge the surrounding transport teams, which surprised Li Chengdao, looking at Sister Bai quietly, how could she do this kind of martial arts?

"Who is a weak woman? The eldest brother said, there are no weak women in the Bai family, am I a weak woman in your eyes? Why don't we compete and see who can beat whom? Don't think that you want to behave masculine after learning a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu. Sister Bai said dissatisfied.

…… Li Chengdao hurriedly shook his head.

At the beginning, the two of them had studied in private, and their own Mo family swordsmanship was brutally abused, God knows what peerless martial arts his quiet fiancΓ©e was passed on by his master, and he is so powerful, maybe only Qin Huaidao in the army can fight against it.

"No, no, no, I mean you're not suitable for leading troops, just let the deputy general take these 10,000 people, you have no battlefield experience, I'm worried about you in case of a fight."

Hearing this, Sister Bai was in a slightly better mood, after all, the other party cared about herself.

"You also said, the deputy general is fine, I just follow along, don't worry, this Longxi Li family is too shameless, dare to cut off my Bai family's business route, I, as the Bai family, since I came, I naturally want to be angry for my brother, I have a hundred martial arts and guards! You don't have to worry about me.

Instead, you go deep into the other party's lair, and you have to be careful. ”

"It's okay, I'm the prince of the Tang Dynasty, they are rebelling when they move me, the Li family in Longxi doesn't have the guts, I still have 10,000 elite guards!"

If you want to follow and take a look, pay attention to safety, don't come to Huaili when the matter is done, after all, you are a member of the Bai family, if the other party shamelessly detains you, then the master will be passive. ”

"yes, got it."

After the two discussed, Li Chengdao instructed the deputy general Pei Lawyer (Pei Lian's eldest son) to protect Bai Damei first, and the task was second, and then the 20,000 horses separated.

Not long after the separation, Sister Bai took the initiative to take Wu Yingwei to find Lawyer Pei.

"General Pei, gather all the commanders, I have something to order."

"This ...... Madame, what do you want to do with the commanders? The prince said that he wants to protect you in the end, you just follow and watch us do it. ”

Lawyer Pei didn't think of it, what's going on? This young lady suddenly pulled this, how could it be like she was asking for command?

Big Sister Bai sneered and said, "You guys? What do you do with it? When you arrive, people will become good local people, and you can't even find people, so how can you dredge up the trade routes?

Leave this matter to me, and go and gather the commander. ”

This...... Lawyer Pei groaned.

Although this statement is reasonable, lawyer Pei, like his father, is an old-fashioned person and has never thought of a woman in power.

"It's okay, the last general has his own countermeasures, Madame can sit down, let's take care of the troops!"

Sister Bai looked at it, despised our daughter's family so much?

Xiu frowned, and shouted in a low voice: "Wu Yingwei, protect the surroundings, I want to learn from General Pei!" ”
