In Longxi City, in a huge manor, Li Huaixiu has a white beard, but next to him is a descendant of the Li family. Li Yuan is actually not the patriarch of the Li family, because there are also the eldest brother Li Cheng, the second brother Li Zhan, and the third brother Li Hong above him, and he can't get the title of Duke of Tang Guo, but he was lucky enough to marry the daughter of the Dou family, so he got the title of Duke of Tang with the power of the Dou family. The three older brothers in front of him also died young. It's just that even so, the current Li family in Longxi can only be headed by Li Yuan, I didn't see Li Yuan's cousin Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, Li Xiaoji, nephew Li Xiaogong, Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong and others are all running for Li Yuan, after Li Yuan became the emperor, these people were all crowned kings, this is the power of the Li Yuan people, one person attains the Tao, everyone ascends to heaven together, one person wants to achieve a great cause, and all people come to help.

Now the Li family in Longxi is Li Huaixiu in charge, this nominal patriarch can only manage the Li family in Longxi, in fact, the Li family in Longxi is in addition to some old and weak, and the others are also collateral, however, it is the collateral lineage, the Li family is also a big clan in Longxi, no one dares to bully the Li family, this place represents Li Yuan's face, Li Huaixiu is not Li Yuan's descendant, and being a nominal patriarch has made him very proud.

"Father, Li Xin's soldiers and horses have already set off for Longshan." The door suddenly opened, and a thin middle-aged man rushed in impatiently and said loudly.

"It's time for him to go, too. Hmph, a hairless little thing with a mouth, also wants Longxi, it's really an ignorant person who is bold, what kind of place is this Longxi, it's my Li family's place. Li Huaixiu's gray beard trembled, and a feverish light erupted in her cloudy eyes.

"What my father said is very true." The middle-aged man hurriedly said.

"In the future, let the subordinates stop calling me patriarch, this patriarch is also because Tang Guogong has no time to manage the affairs of the Li family, so he asked the old man to do it, I have already written to Tang Guogong, the old man is old, this patriarch should be given to others!" Li Huaixiu touched his gray beard and said.

"This? Father. The middle-aged man's face changed violently at this time. I couldn't help but look up and say, "Father." You, the patriarch, are also allowed by Tang Guogong, how can you say that if you lose it, you will lose it? ”

"Shenguang, you want to wait for me to be the patriarch yourself! Confused. Li Huaixiu glared at her son and snorted coldly: "Do you really think I'm an old fool?" Tang Guogong is a person who wants to do great things, he asked me to be the patriarch at the beginning, but it was just a superficial appearance, he wanted people to think that he was cowardly and incompetent, and he didn't even get the position of patriarch. Do you really think that the old man can be the patriarch? Now that he doesn't have to keep his head in obscurity, if I don't give him the position of patriarch, it won't be long before someone urges me, in this case, why don't I honestly give it to him first? There are also some benefits to be gained. ”

"Ahh Li Shenguang was awakened by his own Lao Tzu, and he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Shenguang, remember, now the Li family belongs to Tang Guogong. In the future, maybe he is the king of Tang, or even one step further. Li Huaixiu couldn't help revealing the secret to his son, and said: "Now the entire Guanlong family is supporting Tang Guogong. We are no exception, if the grain and grass are not allowed, we will send money and give our Li family's savings for a hundred years to Tang Guogong. Support him in raising troops. ”

"Yes." Li Shenguang was dripping blood in his heart, and he couldn't help but complain about his ancestors, why it wasn't his ancestors who laughed at the battlefield back then. turned into Li Hu, everyone is a descendant of Emperor Li Wei of Xiliang, why does he have so much courage? The money hidden by the family is so huge, those things are their own, but now they want to give them to Li Yuan, and they feel indescribably awkward in their hearts.

"Also, monitor Li Xin and see if Li Xin has really entered the Longshan Trail." Li Huaixiu's face was gloomy, and he said: "Li Xin is stationed in Longxi, Tang Guogong's soldiers and horses dare not move, only after he enters the Longshan Trail and fights with the Turks, Tang Guogong has the opportunity to send troops." ”

"Yes." After Li Shenguang listened, he nodded weakly, what benefits will Li Yuan give himself after becoming the emperor? Li Shenguang thinks that his father is probably thinking too much, although the Li family in Longxi is very famous, but who is Li Hu? Although everyone's ancestors are the same, Li Shenguang knows that Li Hu was born in Wuchuan, and his ancestral home is Longxi, because the Li family in Longxi is very famous, Li Hu will re-recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, in fact, Li Yuan is not very enthusiastic about the Li family in Longxi, even if Li Yuan becomes the emperor in the end, I am afraid that the benefits are Li Hu's family, not the Li family in Longxi, nor he Li Shenguang, now Li Shenguang wants to serve Li Yuan, Li Shenguang can't say awkward. However, his own Lao Tzu has already spoken, and there is nothing he can do if he wants to oppose it. can only go out of Lijiawu Fort and lead people to monitor Li Xin's army.

"I didn't expect Li Xin to really lead the army to Longshan, it seems that I was a villain in vain, and I actually suspected him." Yin Hongzhi sat in the restaurant and sighed slightly. In his opinion, Li Xin came to Longxi to occupy Longxi and support troops to rebel, and now it seems that Li Xin really wants to attack the Turks from the Longshan Trail.

"I asked Uncle Fu to ask some locals in Longxi, and some merchants said that there is a small road in Longshan that can avoid the border of the Great Sui and enter the Turks, although it is a small road, but it can barely march." Yin Mingyue also said in a low voice: "It seems that this metropolitan governor is really dedicated to the country, otherwise, he would not have tried his best to attack the Turks." ”

"I can't say that just yet." Yin Hongzhi's face was much more solemn, and said: "Father asked us to come to Longxi, not only to see if Li Xin has entered the Longshan Trail, but more importantly, to see if he has a follow-up army, Li Yuan is about to raise troops, is recruiting troops and horses in Taiyuan, although there are a lot of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, but in fact, other families control a lot, really fight, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court may not be useful, we still need to use Li Xin's soldiers and horses in the end, this is the key to the problem." ”

Yin Hongzhi is right, the imperial court's treatment of Li Xin is in embarrassment, and Li Xin is needed to deal with Li Yuan, but he is afraid that Li Xin will become the second Li Yuan. Use it as a precaution. Now that Li Xin's army has entered the Longshan Trail, Li Yuan has lost a suppression, at least for a short time, there is no need to worry about Li Xin's counterattack. Although the imperial court lifted its guard against Li Xin, it added Li Yuan as a great enemy.

"Hmph, in my opinion, Longxi should be given to Li Xin." Yin Mingyue said disdainfully: "What kind of place is Longxi, it is the Li family's lair, what prestige does the imperial court have here?" Zhao Kuangsheng and Li Yuan are also in-laws, Zhao Jingci married Li Yuan's five daughters, and now it's just right? Look at Li Xin has been in Longxi for so long, Zhao Kuangsheng has never appeared again except for the army that greeted him at the beginning, how can this be something that Taishou should do. Therefore, such a Longxi, it is better to throw it to Li Xin and let Li Xin deal with the Li family in Longxi. It is believed that Li Xin will help the imperial court solve the troubles in Longxi. ”

After Yin Hongzhi heard this, his face was stunned, and then he said: "I'm afraid it's easy to invite someone, but it's hard to give it away!" "What Yin Mingyue said is indeed a way, Longxi seems to be still from the imperial court, but in fact, it is already in Li Yuan's control.

"Li Xin has no one under him, even if he occupies Longxi, Longxi will not listen to Li Xin in a short time, and the imperial court still has a chance to reclaim Longxi. Besides, what if you can't get it back? Wouldn't it be nice to ask Li Xin to deal with Li Yuan, and always have to pay something, so that Li Xin can be completely an enemy of Li Yuan? Yin Mingyue's eyes flickered, flashing with the light of wisdom, this woman who was known as the talented woman of the Jingshi was no less than her brother in terms of wisdom. After saying it, even Yin Hongzhi had nothing to say.

"Then Li Xin has left Longxi now and headed for Longshan?" Yin Hongzhi shook his head and said.

"So what we need now is to let Li Xin leave some of his men and horses to stay in Longxi, and then let my father ask the acting king for a decree and let Li Xin be in charge of Longxi. In this way, Li Yuan could be deterred, and Li Yuan, who was forced, did not dare to go south. Yin Mingyue shook her head and said: "There are too many Li Xin's army, Longxi will completely fall into his hands, too little, and it will not deter Li Yuan." ”

"Well, let's go, let's go back to Daxing and ask my father to see the acting king." Yin Hongzhi had to admire his sister, it seemed that he gave Li Xin a sweet date, but in fact, Longxi was not necessarily a sweet date to Li Xin.

Longshan is the watershed of the Han family and the grassland people in the Central Plains, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, Li Xinsuo led the army after a period of trekking, and finally arrived at the bottom of Longshan that night, Qin Qiong led his generals to welcome into the big tent.

"Uncle Bao, has the situation in front been clarified?" In the big tent, Li Xin couldn't wait to say.

"The Metropolitan Governor, we have already investigated clearly, and the hunters along the way have been invited to the camp by us, and we dare not neglect them." Qin Qiong hurriedly said.

"That's good. These people are also ordinary people, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, don't let them be wronged, and when we enter the mountain tomorrow, we will immediately block the Longshan Trail and not let anyone enter the Longshan Trail. Li Xin instructed: "Those people in Guanzhong have already come to the door today, it seems that they can't wait." Qianqiu, is there any news from Li Jing's side? ”

"General Li Jing hasn't heard anything yet, but there is news from General Pei Renji, saying that he has already sensed Li Jing's intention to besiege them from behind, but he has already found a way to drag Du Bi and his 100,000 troops under Zhangye City, just waiting for General Li Jing's arrival." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.

"No news is good news, according to the itinerary, now it's almost behind Dubi, hehe, the Turkic army of 100,000, I want to see how much I can escape back." Li Xin patted his thigh and said, "I really want to change positions with General Li, but now I can hide in the ravine." The crowd laughed. (To be continued......)
