……
The first year of Chengtian, June 30.
Zhangye County, Tang State Mansion.
Den.
Li Jiancheng's face was like jade, without the gentle and elegant color, and it was full of incredible feelings.
The Li family in Longxi has been rooted in the northwest for many years, and its tentacles extend to more than ten counties in Yongliang Prefecture, how can they not know that something big has happened?
Wu Shouzheng, the champion Hou and the general of Yao, drove 3,000 troops, and burned 14,000 people in He Qiang and 180,000 people in Baimaqiang in four days.
Staring out of the fresh window after the rain, Li Yuan was also heavy-hearted, not as optimistic as before.
Wu Shouzheng is the enemy of the Li clan in Longxi, but now he is showing such ability, how can Li Yuan not look sideways?
Li Jiancheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Father, if you say that Wu Shouzheng defeated the He Qiang tribe, you don't dare to believe it, he is indeed not a mediocre talent, and those people who burned He Qiang are definitely not his opponents. But if it is said that Wu Shouzheng defeated the Baimaqiang tribe, he can't believe it, even if he has peerless bravery, it is impossible to use less than 3,000 people to beat the 200,000 small Baimaqiang horses to the ground, without resistance, right? ”
Li Jiancheng added: "Is it ...... Something went wrong with the intelligence? ”
Li Yuan glared back at his son, and said angrily: "The intelligence is no problem!" ”
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and shook his head stubbornly, expressing doubts in his heart.
Li Yuan sighed and said, "If I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't believe it." ”
The conversation changed.
Li Yuan explained: "I just met with two businessmen from Luoyang, who moved from Fufeng to Chang'an, and bought chariots and horses in the city. It is precisely the thousands of slaves and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep that were captured from Baimaqiang! I heard them say that in Wu Shouzheng's battle, nearly 40,000 slaves were made alone, more than 200,000 cattle, sheep, and horses. ”
General Li Jiancheng accepted the facts, and muttered in his mouth: "Han Qu, the king of Baimaqiang, is enough waste!" The dignified Qiang tribe, the largest tribe with armor, fifty or sixty thousand, actually let Wu Shouzheng clean up ......"
Li Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Those two businessmen said that Han Qu has become Wu Shouzheng's captive, wagging his tail and begging for his life!" The bullshit White Horse Qiang King is just self-proclaimed. ”
Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "Father, did they say Wu Shouzheng's whereabouts?" ”
Li Yuan pursed his lips and said, "I interrogated carefully, Wu Shouzheng didn't tell them the truth at all, and only told them to sell the goods at hand as much as possible, and then wait in the Yumen area of Jiuquan." ”
Li Jiancheng pondered and said, "Father, should you take one of his copies?" ”
Li Yuan sighed: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected!" It's too late. Not to mention...... Those businessmen who cut off people's money and food, killed their fathers and mothers, and got Wu Shouzheng's benefits, I'm afraid they will be the first to stand up against us! Although those money-grubbers can't urinate (sui) much, they are united and in trouble. Moreover, the shortcomings of our Longxi Li family happen to be a matter of money, and after losing the father and son of the An family, we have to pin our hopes on them, and we must not hate them. ”
Li Jiancheng said: "However, judging from the invincible situation pointed out by Wu Shouzheng's soldiers, he really swept away the Qiang tribe, what should we do with the Li clan in Longxi?" ”
There is a good saying, called: the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked.
Birds, cunning rabbits, or Qiang people.
Lianggong, lackey, or Lee.
As early as hundreds of years ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the Li clan in Longxi, the northwest with frequent crises was chosen as the foundation, and some people considered the good and bad.
The downside is obvious.
First.
Poor.
Second.
Poor.
Third.
Still poor.
The benefits are well hidden.
First.
Far from the center of power, it is rarely affected.
Neither the last years of the Jin Dynasty nor the turmoil of the empire a hundred years ago had an impact on the Li clan in Longxi.
Second.
Yongliang is turbulent.
So.
The Li clan in Longxi took advantage of the opportunity and became an important pawn of the empire to influence the situation in the northwest.
The imperial court can't do anything about the Li family in Longxi, and it must be appeased.
Third.
There are many poor mountains and bad waters.
If one day, the Li clan in Longxi has no choice but to embark on the road of resistance, it is completely possible to take advantage of the geographical advantage and gather enough soldiers and horses to protect themselves.
Look at it comprehensively.
The Li family of Longxi chose the northwest, and the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
What is material deprivation?
Always useful, is the reason why the Li family is prosperous.
Most of the children of the Li family in Longxi in each generation do not understand why the family does not learn from the remaining seven clans and five surnames such as the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the Cui family in Qinghe, and choose a good place as the foundation. Only those who have truly entered the core of the family can have the opportunity to look at the legacy of their ancestors and understand the joints.
Undoubtedly.
Tang Guogong Li Yuan knew.
Tang Guogong's eldest son, Li Jiancheng, also knew.
The reverse is true.
It was precisely because he knew Wu's actions and did not hesitate to dig into the corners of their house that Li Jiancheng would say his words of worry.
Li Yuan pondered for a long time and said: "Wu Shouzheng went into battle lightly, coming and going like the wind, his whereabouts were traceless, he was unstoppable, what could he do in vain?" ”
Li Jiancheng pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you let the fourth brother give it a try?" ”
Li Yuan directly reprimanded: "Nonsense! ”
Li Jiancheng didn't dare to say any more.
Li Jiancheng understood that he had some Meng Lang just now.
Who is Wu Shouzheng?
The descendants of the nine elders of the founding of the country, Wu Guogong.
The only eldest princess of the empire.
The son-in-law and disciple of the king of the backer.
The Li clan in Longxi played a signboard and killed people, so it's no wonder that they don't provoke the anger of the people and besiege them!
Li Yuan rubbed his beard, his eyes suddenly lit up, and asked, "I heard you mention that nephew of Han Weiqi has a brother, what is Zhang?" Doesn't he owe Erlang a favor! Prepare a generous gift and pay him a visit. ”
Li Jiancheng high-fived and said, "Father is wise!" That's a good candidate! ”
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Go ahead!" ”
Li Jiancheng bowed down and said "喏", and then hurried away.
Li Yuan stepped out of the house, stopped under the eaves, and pondered left and right.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise in the west courtyard.
Li Yuan's contemplation was cut off at once.
Feeling that someone was looking at him, Li Yuan's head was biased.
There was a skinny man standing in the tree.
Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanqiang squeezed out a smile and said, "Yuanba! Don't mess around, learn from real people! ”
In the past, Li Yuan only regarded Li Yuanba as a burden and a monster, but now? It is a general, a talent, and his attitude has naturally changed.
Pity.
There is no father-son and family relationship!
And no wonder.
Li Yuanba's indifferent eyes as if looking at his prey made Li Yuan's heart chill very much, and it was difficult for him to regard Li Yuanba as an heir no matter what.
"Mud monkeys! Mud monkeys! ”
"You give the old way down!"
"It's against you!"
Ziyang Zhenren's angry voice made Li Yuanba obediently go down and disappear in Li Yuan's eyes.
Li Yuan closed his eyes and looked up to the sky
