Jiannan Province sent 5,000 soldiers and horses, which was obviously different from the 10,000 soldiers and horses sent to Taiyuan Mansion.

When Mrs. Li heard that the Zuo family was serving the meal, she comforted and said that the eldest lady had 10,000 soldiers and horses guarding her, and the old lady did not have to worry, so she called Li Fengchang to spray the blood of the dog scolded by Li Fengyao.

"I'm his mother, I have him, and he has his daughter, this unfaithful and unfilial dog." Mrs. Li slapped the table, crying and scolding, "I sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to his daughter, and my mother is only 5,000 here, I gave birth to him and raised him so big, it's better to be a little girl." ”

After scolding Li Fengyao, he cried Li Feng'an again.

"My son, you died early before you let your brother be a blessing."

Li Fengchang, who was kneeling in the hall, was a little confused, if Li Feng'an was there, Taiyuan Mansion didn't know how many soldiers and horses to send, and it was natural for relatives to be different.

Who of them dares to say anything? Will the mother scold? I've been used to it for a long time.....

"Mother, Mother." Li Feng was often busy reassuring, "Whisper, whisper." ”

Li Mingqi's replacement of the eldest lady is a secret.

"The identity of the eldest lady is not ordinary, so the third brother sent more soldiers and horses." Li Fengchang explained, "And the soldiers and horses are sent there, not only to protect the eldest lady, but also to protect the Xiang family, and the Taiyuan Mansion has to be entrusted, after all, the eldest lady is the daughter-in-law of the Xiang family, and she has to stay in the Xiang family." ”

Old Madam Li snorted.

Li Fengchang stepped forward to hold his mother's knees: "The third brother took us to Jiannan Road, 5,000 soldiers and horses are enough, and when we get to Jiannan Road, there are not only 10,000 soldiers and horses, but also 345,000 and as many as possible, all of them are guarding our mother." ”

Mrs. Li said: "I don't go to Jiannan Road, Jiangling Mansion is fine, I won't leave my home, I grew up here, and I will die here." ”

When did Mrs. Li become so heroic? As soon as she heard about the rebellion, when the rebels were 108,000 miles away from Gangneung Mansion, she was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night, so she kept her family on patrol and guard all the time.

Now that Ankang Mountain occupies the capital, and the rebels have expanded to half of the southeast, she is not afraid?

Li Fengchang really couldn't understand the woman's thoughts, so he could only keep persuading, but Zuo told him that his mother didn't want to go to Jiannan Dao because he was afraid that he would no longer be the master of the house there.

"How can you think that? Mother is still a mother when she arrives in Jiannan Province. Li Fengchang frowned, just like he was still Li Fengyao's brother when he arrived in Jiannan Dao, and he was in charge of the affairs of Jiannan Dao, thinking of this, he would only be eager to go.

How can men and women be the same, Zuo smiled: "Mother is not familiar with the place in Jiannan Dao, no matter how filial the third brother is, as soon as the door is closed, she can't do it if she doesn't want her to know what she won't let her do." ”

What else do mothers do? Li Fengchang frowned, I have to say that his mother's temper is getting more and more eccentric, probably because he has lost the suppression of his eldest brother......

"Let's send more soldiers and horses over there." Zuo didn't bother to explain, and gave advice directly.

In fact, she didn't want to go either, the road was so far, and the outside was so chaotic, especially near Jiannan Road, now Gangneung Mansion was very stable, and there were guards all around to keep the rebels out.

Later, the new emperor ascended the throne in Linzhou, and the Zhenwu army Wu Ya'er led an army of 100,000 to quell the rebellion.

Li Fengchang was persuaded by his wife, and finally agreed, and wrote a letter asking Li Fengyao to send some more soldiers and horses.

Li Fengyao didn't know what medicine he had taken and wrote angrily that there were no soldiers and horses, and asked them to come to Jiannan Dao quickly.

Li Fengchang suddenly became angry, this third brother thought that he was in charge of Jiannan Dao, so he regarded himself as Li Feng'an, and didn't take him as a big brother in his eyes, if he went to Jiannan Dao, would he have to make a living under him?

In terms of seniority, he is the one who should obey Jiannan Dao.

Li Fengchang ignored Li Fengyao anymore, and wrote a letter to the Jiannan Provincial Government in the name of his mother, and wrote a letter to Li Mingyu, asking for soldiers and horses directly.

Li Fengchang wrote two letters and received four replies, in addition to the nonsense reply from the Taoist government controlled by Li Bongyao, the reply from Li Bongyao beating his chest, the nonsense letter from Li Mingyu promising to send troops from Jiannan Province immediately, and a letter written by a person named Han Xu.

Han Xu said that Jiannan Dao did not protect the soldiers and horses of the Li family, only the soldiers and horses that protected Great Xia, and immediately transferred the soldiers and horses back, if they wanted to come to Jiannan Dao, they would come back with the soldiers and horses, and if they didn't want to come, they wouldn't care.

Li Fengchang was shocked and angry, of course he knew Han Xu, but why didn't Han Xu die? Why did you still run to Jiannan Road? Jiannan Dao is about to be taken away by Han Xu!

He didn't care about scolding Li Fengyao anymore, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to Li Fengyao, admonished, reminded, and wrote to Xiang Yun, telling him to guard Jiannan Road.....

Letters and letters, soldiers and horses were chaotic, time passed, and when everything was in chaos, Gangneung Mansion was suddenly in danger.

Ankang Mountain sat firmly in the capital, and An Dezhong made meritorious contributions, so as not to be robbed of his father's favor by a few brothers who stayed with his father, so he changed his caution and led an army of 70,000 to attack the southeast provinces, and in just a few days, more than a dozen state capitals were lost.

Gangneung Mansion was suddenly exposed to the rebels' iron hooves, knives and guns, and some people had even seen the rebels, but fortunately they were only the vanguard of the rebels and escaped with their lives.

There are not many troops stationed in Gangneung Mansion, these days Li Fengchang and Jiannan Province Li Fengyao wrote letters, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses from Jiannan Province have been in the barracks of Jiangling Province, and the Gangneung Mansion barracks are very generous, and there is no shortage of grain and grass in the rich land, and they respect Li Dudu of Jiannan Province.

"Governor Li is from our Gangneung Mansion, and Gangneung Mansion and Jiannan Province are one family." The prefect of Jiangling said enthusiastically, and paid for the food and grass of the five thousand soldiers and horses.

The government came forward to settle Li Fengchang very happy, and he also thought it should be taken for granted.

However, the cannibalistic mouth is short and the people are soft, and the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Province took the initiative to help patrol and protect the territory of Gangneung Province, and the movements of the rebels were the first to be discovered.

Knowing that the rebels were coming, Mrs. Li was no longer afraid of leaving her hometown, and immediately went to Jiannan Road, but 5,000 soldiers and horses and the garrison of Gangneung Mansion went to guard against the rebels.

Li Feng often asked people to summon, and the soldiers and horses quickly returned when they heard the summons.

Li Fengchang took out the gold and silver at home to buy grain and grass, and Mrs. Li didn't pay attention to whether the carriage and horses were comfortable, but only asked for convenience to hurry, but it was not so easy to go.

There are many slaves in the family, who to take and who not to take, the joy of taking away, the horror of being left behind, the complicated relationship between the slaves, the father, son, mother and daughter, the three daughters-in-law all want to bring more of their cronies, the girls around the ladies have parents who are difficult to give up, and the sons can not resist the tears of the red-sleeved and fragrant waiters, and the family is in chaos.

The Li family is not the only one, the Li family, as well as in-laws, friends and friends, have come to them, praying that they can take them to Jiannan Road.

In addition to family members and friends, the people of Gangneung Mansion also surrounded the Li family's mansion.

Seeing thousands of elite soldiers lined up at the city gate, the people were happy and expectant, and when they learned that these elite soldiers were leaving, they ran to the outside of the Li family's mansion and knelt down to beg to accompany them.

The Li family suddenly felt like an isolated island surrounded by a storm, and the door did not dare to open at all.

"Why don't you dare to open it." Li Mingran said, "When the soldiers and horses come in to open the way, who can stop them?" ”

She sat in the inner room of Mrs. Li's room, with a high locked box on the bed behind her, looking nervously out through the window, and holding two clay dolls tightly in her arms.

This is her favorite mud doll, there was originally a set of five, every day is to serve as a real doll, eat and feed water to play, but those girls in order to go to Jiannan Road, scramble to be the girl holding the doll, fell three.

In order to prevent a doll from being able to keep it, Li Mingran simply held it by himself day and night.

Li Minghua smiled: "Then we don't want to go back to Jiangling Mansion in our lives." ”

Use the guards of Great Xia to drive away the people who are blocking Gangneung Mansion, maybe they will use knives and guns to threaten, and maybe there will be excited people rushing up and being injured by eyeless knives and guns.

If the Li family and others leave Jiangling Mansion like this, they will definitely be recorded with the rebels in the government records in the future, and there will be Li soldiers and horses to drive the people to abandon the city.

If they do so, they will be spurned by everyone.

Li Mingran hugged the doll and was puzzled: "What's wrong?" The rich people in the city went into the mountains to incense and used domestic servants to drive passers-by, and there were many people who were trampled on horses and beaten with sticks, and there were many people who alarmed the government, and they couldn't tolerate them without seeing Jiangling Mansion. ”

Li Minghua picked out two words from her words: "Domestic servant." ”

When a domestic servant acts, it is the master who has a small evil, but now the Li family is not commanding a domestic servant, but a guard, which is a great evil.

"In fact, people are selfish, and the current guards are originally owned by the people in charge of the army." Li Minghua put down the small box in his hand.

It contains her most valuable jewelry, and her mother told her not to give it to anyone, life and death are coming, and the personal girl doesn't dare to trust her too much.

"If we leave in the first place, there will be no trouble."

"Now that the catastrophe is coming, if we want to escape by ourselves, it is no wonder that we are hated and cursed."

Li Mingran understood a little, and snorted: "Who let them not have a great uncle, no, the cousin should be the envoy of the festival, and they should be blamed for this." ”

Li Minghua said with a smile: "What you said is also right and not right, in short, now our Li family is either a good person or a wicked person." ”

"How to be a good person, how to be a bad person?" Li Mingran asked curiously.

Li Minghua said: "The wicked people are us who use soldiers and horses to open the way, no one takes anyone, only our family is determined to go, good people, that is, we stay, live and die with all of you." ”

Li Mingran glared and shouted: "What kind of good people and bad people, this is clearly a living person or a dead person!" ”

If you can live, you have to die, and a fool won't do this.

Li Fengchang thought like this at this time, he looked at the Jiangling prefect standing in front of him, and thought to himself, does he look like a fool?

"Master Hu." He sighed, "Aren't you embarrassing us?" ”

The prefect of Jiangling was wearing an official robe, his expression was haggard, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I know, my request is really rude." ”

He leaned over to hide his face, and the seven-foot man, the son of the saint at the head of the house, began to cry.

"It's just the life and death of thousands of people, and this official can't bear to ......"

"Master Li, you are also from Jiangling Mansion, and so are the Metropolitan Governors, this is your homeland, and this is your villagers."

Li Fengchang stretched out his hand to hide his face: "My lord, it is not my wish to suffer in my homeland, and we will suffer if we leave our homeland." ”

Before he could utter a cry, a cry came from outside the door.

"My son, you died early." Mrs. Li was surrounded by a group of women and rushed in, bumped into the Jiangling prefect who bowed her head and hid her face, sat on a chair and cried, "Your mother is about to be forced to death, even if you leave filial piety and let the soldiers and horses protect your mother, but you are not there, and you can't stop others from bullying your mother." ”

Li Fengchang breathed a sigh of relief, no need to cry, put down his sleeves and rushed over: "Mother, mother, it's not like this, don't worry." ”

Old Madam Li grabbed him with one hand and hit him on the head and face: "You unfilial son, what do you want to do?" My eldest son came to pick me up, why didn't you let me go? You're going to kill me? Why did you kill me? ”

Li Fengchang was embarrassed and didn't dare to dodge, so he simply knelt down and let him be beaten and scolded, and the women around him were crying and shouting.

There was chaos in the hall.

The prefect of Gangneung stood here as if it existed and didn't seem to exist, and he finally sighed as he watched the crying women.

"I'm being selfish." He said, leaning over and saluting, "It's my fault, old lady, please calm your anger." ”

Old Madam Li didn't look at him, but only scolded Li Fengchang.

The prefect of Jiangling straightened his clothes and said, "The old lady is angry, I will go and open the way for you and let everyone disperse." ”

So he turned and went out.

Old Madam Li stopped crying and grabbed Li Fengchang: "Leave immediately." Look at the room again, "No one should think nonsense, my son is picking me up, it is his brothers and nephews, you don't worry about your messy relatives, if you want to leave, follow us, and if you can't bear to go to them." ”

This is talking about the daughters-in-law, and the daughters-in-law bowed their heads and wept.

"The next person in the family, except for the ten people who follow the car in each room, the rest will follow if they want to go, and they will find their own way without a car or horse, and the bounty for the doorman who doesn't want to go is ten taels."

Is this the next person can bring it? Even though there were no cars or horses, there were a large number of soldiers and horses in front, and they were chasing with hope, and suddenly there were joyful cries in the hall.

Mrs. Li was quick and messy, and the people who had hope acted neatly, and soon prepared the carriages and horses, and those who didn't want to leave were given gold and silver on the spot, and those who wanted to go took up the burden that had been packed up a long time ago, and ran out to buy cars, horses, and donkeys.

The main family did not provide carriages and horses, and they could afford them themselves.

The gate of Li's house, which had been closed for many days, was opened, and no one rushed up.

"Get out of the way." Li Mingran lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, "There are soldiers and horses to open the way for us." ”

There were many people at the door, but they were not blocking the road, and they were all standing on both sides, and they were not crying or crying, and their expressions were sad or angry, and soldiers on both sides held weapons to block them.

These soldiers and horses are not from Jiannan Province, but from Gangneung Province.

"Drop the curtains." The sisters-in-law sitting in a car hurriedly said and pulled Li Mingran's hand down.

It's really boring, she looked at the sisters-in-law who were huddled in the carriage and avoided the window, was this afraid to look or ashamed to be seen? Li Mingran pouted, she had never been like this when she was so old, whether she was riding a carriage, riding a horse, or walking, she was proud and upright.

Li Minghua sat by the window, did not lift the curtain, looked out the window, and listened to the voice of the prefect coming in from outside.

"We have 5,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangling Mansion, and we will guard everyone and the city."

"The rebels are still far away from us, and the governor of the southeast province of Qi led the Pingyuan army and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Jianzhou army to fight against the rebels."

"We are close to Huainan, and Mrs. Chu of Huainan Province is recovering Huainan Province, and the rebels are retreating one after another, and I have sent someone to ask her for help."

"Mrs. Chu is kind and kind, saves orphans and helps the poor, and is brave and good at fighting, rushing to help Yizhou, raiding Anton, and Zhenwu Army is famous."

"Even these can't stop the rebels, I, Hu Wangjiang, will definitely send you to Huainan Province."

"As long as you enter Huainan Dao, Mrs. Chu will definitely let you live."

His voice was hoarse, and he shouted it I don't know how many times, over and over again, calling out the frightened people, shouting out a way for them to escape.

Li Minghua hung his head and raised his hand slightly to wipe away a tear that flowed inexplicably.

I don't know if it was the words of Governor Hu, or the Mrs. Chu Guo in the words, which made the people on the street quiet, and quietly watched the long convoy.

Li Fengchang couldn't stand it even if he was sitting in the car, so he got out of the car and said to Hu Zhifu: "My lord, I have asked Jiannan Dao to send soldiers and horses again, and they will be there soon, if we reach a safe place, we will immediately let these soldiers and horses come back to help you defend the city." ”

If, again, this kind of thing Hu Zhifu just listened, he nodded and said nothing.

No one cheered, and Li Fengchang couldn't go on, so he hugged Hu Zhifu and turned around and got into the car.

A long convoy drove out of the city gate, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses waiting outside the city gate formed a phalanx.

Behind the Li family's carriage and horses, there were constantly chariots, horses, and people on foot.

Although the Li family only let their subordinates follow, others who followed would not drive them away, and following behind these soldiers and horses might be safer than the city.

Li Minghua saw the noise on the road, this noise was no longer the joy and happiness of the past, only panic and sorrow, and there was a monk in the crowd.....

He took a hat, held a wooden staff, wore a tattered monk's robe, and walked backwards towards the city amid the surging crowd running out.

The soldiers and horses surrounded and blocked the view, leaving the city of Gangneung behind.
