In recent years, the capital city of Luoyang is more lively than usual, the street has a festive atmosphere, whether it is a pawn, or a dignitary, at this time always have to be lively with the family, to the market to collect some New Year's goods, the merchants are also full of energy, each showing their powers. Red lanterns are hanging all over the street, and some of them are anxious to paste the Spring Festival couplets, and everyone has a smile on their faces, finally the New Year.

The whole Great Chu in the tenth year of the Apocalypse is not easy, first the southern drought, no harvest, the people who have no food and clothing can not wait for the rescue of the imperial court, brazenly kill officials and grab food, first on a small scale in the township and county, and then it is out of control, like a spark in the prairie fire, spread to the state capital, the whole three large states were involved in this turmoil, although the imperial court immediately sent troops to suppress it, but the first to raise the flag to rebel Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei disappeared without a trace, hiding hidden dangers, and then the barbarian invasion, the Dingzhou army was defeated. finally stopped, and then encountered a cold winter that was rare in a century, and the entire empire fell into a cold wave, and the various state capitals begged for relief in an endless stream, making the Emperor of the Apocalypse anxious.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after finally surviving this difficult year, and no matter what, they would finish the year happily first, hoping that the joy of the New Year's Festival would wash away the bad luck that had accumulated throughout the year of the Apocalypse.

As the people of the capital, they don't have much intuitive feeling about the suffering in other parts of the empire, and the news they get generally comes from the announcements issued by the imperial court, as well as some incomplete gossip, because for them, the ten years of the Apocalypse are still good, the income has not decreased, and the court has not raised taxes, and it is still very harmonious.

Compared with other places in the capital that are happily welcoming the Spring Festival, Juxiang Street is extraordinarily calm, and there are crowds of people elsewhere, although the streets here are faster, but there are very few pedestrians, and there are almost no shops open here, and there are occasionally one or two Buzhuang restaurants, but when you look at the guards standing at the door, you can let the idle people and so on, all avoid.

Juxiang Street is inhabited by officials, and they are not ordinary officials, those who can live in Juxiang Street are all dignitaries, and the owner of any mansion on this street stomps his feet, which is enough to make the ground of Da Chu shake a few times.

Yizhou Li's family, when the Anguo Gong Li Huaiyuan's Anguo Mansion was in the depths of Juxiang Street. There is no splendid decoration of the golden wall, and there are no hideous guards arranged in front of the door, and even the vermilion gate is a little old, and the copper ring on the door is also mottled, some green rust remains, and the vermilion paint in some places has faded, but anyone who passes by here will pay attention to this door and salute, if nothing else, just for the old man in the depths of this gate, who is already old and loyal, but is still a prominent old man.

In winter, Li Huaiyuan felt that his body was a little weak, and he was particularly cold, although the house was burning with fine charcoal, and he was also wrapped in a precious fox fur, but he still felt a little cold.

"I'm getting older, it's really not good, this body is not as good as a year!" Taking the hand stove handed over by Yahuan, Li Huaiyuan said self-deprecatingly.

"My father should be old and strong, and his body and bones are good!" Yi Ning waited for Li Sizhi to sit sideways under Li Huaiyuan, leaning over and smiling, he has been sitting in Yizhou, Li's old nest, but in recent years, he also has to go to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings to the old man, and by the way, escort the materials needed for the New Year in the capital.

"Yes, yes, father, Ryoma spirit, I think it's a few better than us!" Shouning waited for Li to retreat, and Weiyuan waited for Li Muzhidu to echo the eldest brother's statement.

Li Huaiyuan laughed, "The three of you can say something I like, just look at it, Zheng'er, Feng'er, and Jun'er are all so old, can I still be old?" Pointing to the three young men standing behind them, he smiled.

Yi Ning waited for Li Sizhi to laugh and said: "The old man is not yet seventy, what do you say about being old or not, our Li family still has to rely on the old man's tiger might!" Father and adults take care of their bodies with peace of mind, not that the child said, according to your old foundation, that is, in another twenty or thirty years, you will still be able to ride a horse, dance with a knife, and drink wine! ”

Li Huaiyuan said a little sadly: "That being said, I also know your filial piety, but take precautions, always want, my body is not as good as a year, and it is rare for our family to get together so much, after the beginning of the year, the third child is likely to go to the south to quell the rebellion, and yesterday there was a report from the palace, and the absconding Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei began to make trouble again." ”

Wei Yuan waited for Li Muzhi: "Father, don't worry, a little clown jumping, and it will be flat." ”

Li Huaiyuan shook his head: "Don't underestimate these people, Mu Zhi, Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei suffered a loss last time, this time they are making a comeback, don't underestimate it, plus you are not going to bring our Yizhou soldiers, but Huaizhou soldiers, and state soldiers, the soldiers in these places are all in chaos, I'm afraid that they won't be able to fight a tough battle, be careful!" ”

Li Muzhi nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, I can save it." ”

Li Huaiyuan nodded, "Well, you are also an old soldier, I am relieved, but I just remind you, you three brothers, the eldest is sitting in Yizhou, the second is in the temple, although the third is a military general, but he is also a brocade rust, my Li family has the three of you, even if you are not enterprising enough, you are not in danger of overturning." ”

Li Huizhi said with a smile: "Father thinks too much, my Li family is full of talents, that is, among the three generations, there are also many talents, you see Zheng'er, although it is less than thirty, but it is already the deputy general of the Yizhou Army, and his prestige in the army is well-known, Jun'er has just been promoted, although Feng'er is young, but he is also very smart, and Li Qing's ....... in Dingzhou" Suddenly seeing the third child's face change, he stopped talking and said with a smile: "My Li family will only prosper from generation to generation." ”

Li Huaiyuan smiled, "Well, that's not bad, Li Qing's doll ......" pondered for a moment, reached out and picked up a stack of papers from the case, and said, "Do you know what he did in Dingzhou?" ”

The three of them nodded in unison.

"It's so courageous!" Li Huaiyuan sighed and said: "With a thousand remnants, he actually dared to sneak attack the barbarians, slaughtering the Angu tribe alive, nearly 10,000 surnames, not a single one was left." It's really a kill of one! ”

The three brothers of Li Sizhi had already obtained it, but they were not very surprised, Li Zheng, Li Feng, and Li Jun behind them couldn't help but change color, "Nearly 10,000 people were slaughtered, men, women, old and weak were killed, grandpa, why is this Li Qing so cruel?" Li Jun said with a change of color. Li Zheng gritted his teeth and smiled slightly, but there was a deceptive light in his eyes.

Li Huaiyuan glanced at the two of them, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with disappointment, "Jun'er, you haven't figured out the ins and outs, don't comment on it." Li Huizhi snorted coldly.

Li Huaiyuan shook his head, the three generations of the Li family, Li Zheng has lived in the army for a long time, his surname is violent, although he is a fierce general, but he is not a good general, Li Jun has been weak since he was a child, he does not practice martial arts and reads, and he has to be raised in the year of the weak crown, but the surname is a little roundabout, although Li Feng is still young, but his mother Pang loves too much, but he looks more like a disciple.

"Sizhi, tell me!"

Li Sizhi stood up and said to the three of them: "The three of you are so good to listen, Li Qing is much younger than Zheng'er, about the same as Jun'er, but this courage makes me have to admire it." He is now located in Chongxian County, and does not border with the barbarians, I didn't believe it when I first received this news, and it was only later that I learned that there was a secret road from Chongxian to the barbarians, and Li Qing sent troops from here. With his more than 1,000 remnants, he dared to do such a thing against the sky, but he was a little bold, but he succeeded in one fell swoop. As for why the Angu tribe was completely killed, Zheng'er, but you think about it, Dingzhou has just been broken by the barbarians, and the saint hates the barbarians to the core, so Li Qing will report the results of this battle, what will happen to him? ”

Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "With this kind of result, coupled with the current situation, you can at least be promoted to deputy general!" ”

Li Sizhi clapped his hands, "That's right, but why did Li Qing hide this matter tightly, even Xiao Yuanshan, the commander of the Dingzhou Army, didn't know?" ”

"What does this have to do with Li Qing killing 10,000 people?" Li Feng's face did not change, and in his mind, of course, he didn't know what it was like to have a river of blood flowing into a river.

Li Muzhi couldn't help but shake his head, this in-law son is already fifteen years old, Li Qing has gone to the world alone at this time, but he asked such a stupid question.

"If Li Qing reports the results of the battle, then his secret passage in Chongxian County will not be able to be saved." Li Sizhi said, "When the barbarians know the news, they will inevitably raise troops to retaliate, with Li Qing's current strength, where they can resist, it will inevitably be wiped out in the blink of an eye, so Li Qing concealed the results of the battle and killed all the people of the Angu tribe." It's about keeping this secret. ”

Li Jun shook his head, a little disapproving, "Uncle, Li Qing sent troops, Chongxian knows a lot of people, and he has rescued so many slaves, this matter can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for too long, and he will finally see the light." ”

Li Zheng nodded again and again: "This younger brother is really strong, he killed so many people in one go, even me, I also feel a little scared!" "It's not difficult to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but he shuddered to let Li Zheng order the slaughter of the old and weak.

"You're right, but what does Li Qing need now? It is time, and the longer this secret is concealed, the more beneficial it will be to him, and I believe that with Li Qingzhi's wisdom, this secret path will definitely be properly handled during this time. In this way, even if the secret passage is leaked in the end, he already has a countermeasure, and I think at least he can ensure the safety of Chongxian. ”

"One more bonus!" Li Huizhi added: "After killing all the Angu tribes, this matter will become a headless public case, and there will be civil strife on the grassland, and civil strife will be together, and the barbarians will not be able to threaten Dingzhou with all their might, which will also bring benefits to Dingzhou." ”

"Not bad!" Li Sizhi: "Not only that, Li Qing is also in Chongxian County, giving land, revitalizing water conservancy, and reassuring people's livelihood, all kinds of measures are breathtaking, second, but you gave birth to a good son!" After only a few months in Chongxian, he not only succeeded in gaining a foothold, but also expanded his power very quickly, and now, his Changsheng battalion was full, and according to the information that came, these soldiers who had only been trained for a few months were still very impressive. I didn't expect him to be very good at training! Could it be that when he was still in Weiyuan Houfu, you taught him the art of war in private? ”

Li Muzhi coughed again and again, but did not speak.

Li Huaiyuan continued: "A few days ago, Li Qing sent someone to send a letter, looking for us to ask for all kinds of craftsmen, among which the number of blacksmiths is particularly large, think about it, give it to him. I want to see, what kind of fame can he toss? ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Sizhi, hand over our shadow in Dingzhou to him as well." ”

Li Siyi was surprised, "Father, is this ......?"

Li Huaiyuan snorted coldly: "What, do you have any concerns?" The shadow of Dingzhou is handed over to Li Qing, which can play a greater role, besides, Li Qing is also my Li family's seed anyway, are you still afraid that he will be unfavorable to us? ”

Li Huizhi on the side said with a smile: "Father is right, since Li Qing is talented, we are not afraid that he can become bigger and stronger, the stronger he is, the more beneficial it is to our Li family, haha, this Mingzi we buried in Dingzhou may bring us surprises!" ”
