Chapter 127 [Li Clan]
Gaoping is located in Guyuan County, Ningxia, on the bank of the Qingshui River at the northern foot of Liupan Mountain on the Loess Plateau, which is a necessary place for the ancient Silk Road and is also a strategic place. After the outbreak of the Six Towns Uprising led by Baling of the Six Towns.
The Great Wei Dynasty has implemented the policy of changing the town to a state according to the construction of Wei Langen, Yuan Yuan and others, Gaoping Town is among them, and Gaoping Town has been changed to Yuanzhou on the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, with two counties of Gaoping and the Great Wall under its jurisdiction, however, Gaoping has not been recovered since it was captured by the Qinzhou rebels, so the favor of the imperial court has naturally not brought benefits to the people of Gaoping. Gao Ping Shou is Wan Qi Chounu Xingtai Wan Qi Daoluo, a fierce general who is famous for his bravery and good fighting.
There are 6,000 defenders in Gaoping City, most of them are professional soldiers of the original Gaoping Town, belonging to the regular army, plus Gaoping Town has been operating for many years, the city wall is wide and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Siege has never been an advantage of cavalry, so Erzhu Tianguang did not plan to storm it, and after discussing with He Bayue and others, they planned to use the strategy of "luring the snake out of the hole" to find a way to trick Wan Qi Daoluo out of Gaoping City, and then annihilate it.
Although the strategy is good, how to lead it and who to send to lead it is a question. Since the defeat of the official army, the rebels have strengthened their vigilance, and at this time, there is a great risk of entering the high level, the enemy is very vigilant, and it is easy for ordinary people to expose their identities. In fact, there is a suitable person in the army.
Erzhu Tianguang's subordinate general Li Yuan is a native of Gaoping, Li Yuan was born in Gaoping Hao, the Li family is quite popular in Gaoping, and now Li Yuan is serving in Erzhu Tianguang's army, and the eldest brother Li Xian and the children of the clan are still in the city. Li Xian, the word Xianhe, Longxi Chengji. He claimed to be a descendant of Han Li Ling.
During the reign of Wei Taiwu, Li Xian's great-grandfather Li Fu was killed in the battle of the two mountains with his son. Grandfather Li Bin attacked and led his father's soldiers and guarded Gaoping. Since then, he has settled in Gaoping Town and gradually developed into a local wealthy family.
Li Xian is young and old, ambitious, legend has it that once he met a white-bearded old man on a trip, the old man was very surprised to see him: I have lived more than eighty years old, I have seen many people, but I have never seen a face like you, you will be able to do it in the future, so you can do it yourself.
Nine years old. His father invited him to learn the scriptures, but he only had a glimpse of the general righteousness, and never looked for chapters and sentences, and some people accused him of saying: It is better not to learn than not to learn.
Li Xian retorted: Everyone has their own ambitions, how can Li Xian be an old gentleman? It's just a crude doctrine. As for the way of loyalty and filial piety, I have long remembered it. When he was fourteen years old, his father died, and his younger brothers Li Yuan and Li Mu were young, and Li Xian suddenly became the pillar of the family. Shouldering the responsibilities of parents, the friendship and harmony of the brothers became a beautiful talk in the countryside, and Li Xian became the leader of the township party.
Li Yuan, long live the word. Influenced by his brother, he also valued martial arts and light literature, and his ideal was to be a general commanding thousands of troops. In the last years of Zhengguang, the world rose together, and the Qinzhou Qiang thieves and the Gaoping Le thieves rebelled. The villages in Gaoping responded one after another, and the Li Xian brothers gathered the children of the clan and the villagers together. Call on everyone to defend their homeland, because the rebels are outnumbered. Everyone was skeptical and afraid, and most of them hesitated at both ends. Seeing this scene, Li Yuan pressed his sword and roared: "The royal family is in trouble, and the Hun thieves take the opportunity to rebel, this is the time for us to show the integrity of our loyal ministers and make meritorious contributions to the cause."
The great husband should survive in death, and he should not steal life in the face of difficulties. There are dissenters, my Li Wansui sword has no eyes, whoever has a different heart will behead Er! Who dared to say anything about such a fool on the stall, so everyone formed an alliance and made an appointment to defend it.
How could the rebels be strong, and the allies were formed under Li Yuan's violent intimidation, and the people's hearts were not aligned, and it was inevitable that some people would not work, so the city was broken, and most of the people who defended the city were killed, and Li Yuan's brothers were hidden by the villagers, so they escaped a catastrophe. Li Yuan discussed with Li Xian: Now the traitors are powerful, and they will slaughter Zhongliang.
I want to go to Luoyang for help. Brother Taoguang is obscure, and with your prestige in the countryside, you can avoid disaster, and then choose to find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions. If one day the king comes to ask for it, we should cooperate with the outside world, so that we can serve the country and protect the family. Li Xian heard that what his brother said was reasonable, and couldn't help sighing: It came to my heart. After the brothers summed up, Li Yuan quietly went on the road.
Li Xian hid for a while, and saw that Gaopingcheng would be returned to the Qin army for a while, and then taken away by Hu Chen, and that the things that had led the resistance had disappeared like smoke, and no one would pursue who had opposed whom, so Li Xian returned home and continued to be his own justice of the peace. The Hao clan has always been the object of the government, so although Li Xian fought to the death with the rebels, he could still live his good life after the war and entered the construction period, and many of the upper echelons of the Gaoping army also visited him in person, after all, what to collect money and grain can still be used by the local snakes.
Li Yuan crossed thousands of rivers and mountains to the capital Luoyang, and turned to the imperial court to report the chaos in the northwest, and asked the imperial court to send troops to liberate his hometown. In troubled times, Li Yuan's deeds attracted the attention of the government and the opposition, and Emperor Xiaoming also specially summoned him, praised him for his loyalty, and awarded the official and military cavalry to serve as a regular servant, and then turned into a special general, rewarding clothes and horses.
Erzhu Tianguang's expedition to the west, with Li Yuanlu, equipped with elite soldiers, as a guide to lead the army to conquer. Now that Erzhu Tianguang has set a strategy to break the enemy, he can't find a suitable person to carry it out, so Li Yuan asked for his life.
Li Yuan sneaked into Gaoping to see Li Xian, the brothers met, and said goodbye to miss the feelings, Li Yuan will follow Zhu Tianguang to pacify the Guanzhong has captured Wan Qi Chounu, the soldiers will soon arrive in Yuanzhou, but Gaoping City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in order to reduce unnecessary losses, the leaders hope that they will find a way to lure Wan Qi Daoluo's main force out of Gaoping.
Li Xian was silent, now that Wan Qi Ugly Slave is over, Wan Qi Daoluo is just breathing, if you follow Erzhu Tianguang's plan, it is naturally a great merit to lure Daoluo out of Gaoping, and it will be of great benefit to my Li family.
However, this matter is really difficult to handle, and it is difficult to deal with Li Xian and Wan Qi Daoluo can't talk at all. The brothers were discussing, as the saying goes, no book is made without coincidence, and the opportunity was delivered to the door by itself. The family came to report, and Wan Qian Abao asked to see him. When Li Xian heard that Ah Bao was coming, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and blurted out: There is a way
Wan Qian Ah Bao is a high-level general under Wan Qian Chou Nu, this time with Wan Qian Chou Nu on the expedition, after Wan Qian Chou Nu was defeated, Ah Bao fled back to Gaoping, he knew that Gao Ping City would definitely not be able to keep, so he did not go to see Wan Qi Daoluo after coming back, but went to Li Xian's mansion. He has always been good friends with Li Xian, so he believes that Li Xian is more reliable than Dorlo.
Wan Qian ugly slave has been crisscrossing Longyou for several years. has successively defeated the famous generals Cui Yanbo and Xiao Baochun of the Great Wei, so that Changsun Zhi cannot leave Chang'an for half a step. No one expected that he would be arrested all of a sudden. It happened too fast. Coupled with the inconvenience of transportation, the news is blocked, and the Gaoping defenders do not know the news of Wan Qiu's defeat at present. So, Po is useful.
Li Xian asked Li Yuan to avoid it for the time being, and then went out to welcome Ah Bao to the hall in person. Ah Bao knelt down in front of Li Xian with a thud, and said again and again: Xianhe save me. Li Xian hurriedly helped Ah Bao up. A Bao Dao: The Divine Beast Son of Heaven has been captured by the imperial army, and Gao Ping can't be safeguarded, Wangxian and save my life.
Li Xiandao: "Today's plan, the only way to save my life is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light." You are the leader of the rebels, and you are guilty of treason. If there is no credit, how can it not be held accountable? I have a plan to make you guilty, are you willing to do what I say? "Po obeys!" "Okay, hooray, come out." Li Yuan came out to meet Wan Qian Bao, and the three of them secretly discussed again.
Ah Bao quietly left the Li family, pretending to be Wan Qian Chounu's envoy to see Wan Qian Daoluo, and conveyed Wan Qian Chounu's verbal order to Wan Qian Daoluo: The army has broken the official army, and Daoluo hurried to Pingting to discuss the plan. Po will temporarily act as an agent for the affairs of the original state. The ugly slave didn't have much culture, so oral transmission was common, and everyone was a family, so Wan Qi Daoluo believed in Bao's words. On the same day, he handed over the defense of Gaoping to Bao, and he led 6,000 troops out of the city to the direction of Pingting.
Your own talents are the most dangerous enemies, and they often make you unguardable. Erzhu Tianguang has already received a secret report from Li Yuan. The elite has long been ambushed on the road that Wan Qi Daoluo must pass through to Pingting. Wan Qi Daoluo was ambushed, and the battle was unfavorable. The road back to Yuanzhou had been cut off, so he had to lead his troops to flee to Zhaotun Mountain.
Erzhu Tianguang forced Gao Ping. Gao Ping's biggest official is Taiwei Xiao Baokun, and the chief guard will be Wan Qi Bao, who has already planned an uprising. Wan Qian Ugly Slave has been defeated, where are the people in the city willing to work for Xiao Baokun, Wan Qian Ah Bao calmly took Xiao Baokun's capture as a great gift for the surrendered officials.
At this point, since Wan Qiu's ugly slave broke the Great Wei fierce general Cui Yanbo, accepted Xiao Baokun, and called the king the emperor, he has been completely defeated. Erzhu Tianguang entered Yuanzhou and specially visited Li Xian: Daoluo was able to go out of the city, thanks to you. "You're welcome, general, yes, this is what I should do."
Li Xian led the villagers to give Erzhu Tianguang a thousand horses, Erzhu Tianguang was even happier, and the army and the people were happy. Erzhu Tianguang ordered Wan Qian Chounu and Xiao Baochun to be escorted to the capital. Wan Qian Chounu and Xiao Baochun gathered in Luoyang, what will be waiting for them? The emperor ordered the two to be paraded through the streets for three days, so that the people of the world could understand that this was the end of the rebellion.
Xiao Zan, the king of Danyang, asked to keep Xiao Baokun alive, Li Shenjun, the secretary of the ministry, Gao Daomu, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and Xiao Baochun were good friends, and the two of them spoke well for Xiao Baokun: Xiao Baokun was against the previous dynasty. In ancient times, the news media was not developed, let alone the Internet, so the people's right to know was basically non-existent. However, Emperor Xiaozhuang couldn't make up his mind.
When King Daoxi returned to the Hajj, Emperor Xiaozhuang asked him what he was talking about outside Xiao Baokun. Wang Dao Xidao: I only heard that Li Shangshu, Gao Huangmen and Xiao Baochun are friendly, and the two are in important positions, so they will definitely be able to save his life.
I heard that the two said that Xiao Baochun rebelled in the previous dynasty, but Xiao Baochun was the wife of the ugly slave, wasn't he in the Majesty Dynasty? If the thieves don't kill, what else do you want the laws of the country to do! These few words are equivalent to sentencing Xiao Baochun to death, and the emperor also has to take into account public opinion, so the efforts of Li Shangshu and Gao Huangmen were in vain.
Emperor Xiaozhuang gave Xiao Baokun to death in the Camel Cattle Department, and beheaded Wan Qiao's ugly slave at the entrance of the vegetable market. Before Xiao Baochun was sentenced, Li Shenjun sent him off with wine, and the two chatted about the past, Li Shenjun couldn't help but burst into tears, Xiao Baochun was very calm, without fear, just sighed that fate was playing tricks and couldn't do his best.
The princess said goodbye to the children, the camel cow cried and shook the sky, and Xiao Baochun's appearance did not change. As a member of the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Baochun enjoyed wealth and glory from the ground, and later the country was ruined, and he was exiled to the north, and he was captured by his body, and he fought in the south and west, and laid down a splendid future, and finally passed the emperor's addiction, died, and had no regrets, he was used to fighting and killing, what about life and death, what about his wife and children, and what else to worry about. However, what Xiao Baochun didn't expect was.
Family tragedies behind him have happened repeatedly, the eldest son Xiao Lie was given death with himself, the second son Xiao Quan died in an accident while playing archery with the third brother Xiao Kai, Xiao Kai is the son-in-law of the eldest grandson, the girl of the eldest grandson's family is not a good thing, she is frivolous and does not know how to be polite, the princess repeatedly reprimanded, the two actually had a grudge against their mother, and since then the mother and son have become enemies, and the rebel son actually sent someone to kill his mother at the instigation of his wife, and was killed after the incident.
Xiao Baochun's lineage became extinct, and the Xiao family of the Southern Qi royal family was left with only Xiao Zan, who was of unknown origin. After the defeat of Wan Qi Chounu, Jing, Feng, Erxia, and the rebels in the north to Lingzhou (that is, the Bogulu town guarded by Jia Xianzhi at the beginning, and the city was on the alluvial plain of the river meander) all surrendered, only Wan Qi Daoluo refused to surrender and continued to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains to harass the official army, but how much of a threat could it be to forgive a lost dog.
Since April, there has been a great drought in Gaoping, not a drop of rain has fallen, the fields are cracked, there is no grass in the field, the cavalry goes out to fight, there is no weed, the horses are not full, Erzhu Tianguang led the army to retreat to the east of the city fifty miles to rest, with the governor Sun Xie rate of 200 people stationed in Gaoping, acting as the governor of Yuanzhou, with Li Xian as the main book. It was common practice at the time to appoint local tycoons as principal officials in the state capital.
Erzhu Tianguang was careless, he didn't expect that the hundred-legged insect would die but not stiffen, and Wan Qi Daoluo had been waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. Although Wonju has been recovered, there are many spies in ambush in the city, and they have been planning to welcome Wan Qi Daoluo's return. Wan Qi Daoluo hated Ah Bao to the core, of course he was unwilling to be earned.
After Erzhu Tianguang left, the troops in the city were weak, Wan Qi Daoluo connected with the spies in the city, and then, suddenly attacked Yuanzhou from the mountains, more than 200 Xianbei soldiers such as Changsun Xili were all killed, and Li Xian summoned the villagers to resist desperately to save Gaoping City. When Erzhu Tianguang heard the news, he led the crowd to attack, and Daoluo was defeated, and once again led the army to retreat into the Liantun Mountain to defend himself. When the news of the attack on Yuanzhou reached Jinyang, Er Zhurong was furious and immediately sent a special envoy to Kansai. (To be continued......)
