Chapter 116 The country is the bait, and the heroes are fished
In the eleventh year of Jian'an, Nangong Tianxin pinched his fingers and calculated, it was almost time for Li Xuande to take a look at the thatched house.
Nangong Tianxin collected Li Guanzhang's affairs and had a general understanding.
Li Xuande, whose name is Weide, is known as the descendant of Li Sheng, the king of Zhongshan in Hanshan.
Li Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, is lustful by nature, and has countless descendants, so he is simply a seeder. Therefore, Li Xuande claims to be a descendant of Li Sheng, and it is difficult to verify, so let's forget it. Nangong Tianxin believes that as long as the common people are orthodox, it is enough.
Legend has it that Li Xuande is seven feet five inches long, with his hands above his knees, his ears hanging down his shoulders, his eyes can take care of his ears, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are greased, and he is born with a dignified appearance. The hand is longer than the knee, and it is estimated that he has practiced through the back boxing. Some people say that Li Xuande's mother gave birth to Li Xuande when she dreamed of the Golden Armor Heavenly God. It is said that on the night of Li Xuande's birth, the golden light soared into the sky, hundreds of beasts came to congratulate, and white birds came to the court. Li Xuande lost his father since he was a child and was very filial to his mother.
His family was poor and had always made a living by weaving straw mats and selling straw sandals. Li Xuande has a habit of selling straw mats and straw sandals, you can take credit, and you can even give them away for free when you see a heroic boy. Some people say that Li Xuande has never been seen weaving straw mats and straw sandals in person, but the next day there are straw mats and straw shoes for sale, so it is suspected that Li Xuande has gods to help him at night. This rumor has been spread by the neighbors. And Li Xuande's straw mat straw shoes are very exquisite. Nangong Tianxin thought that Li Xuande was a cultivator, and he should use his magic power to weave straw mats and straw shoes, so he was very delicate and exquisite.
Li Xuande devoted himself to cultivating the family biography of the Baggage family, "Fengyun True Scripture", but his qualifications were limited, unlike Gaozu Li Bangguo, who had cultivated the cloudy cloud flying realm, and was currently able to break through the cloud surge realm and was cultivating the rain technique. Li Xuande is not very good at reading, he is generous by nature, he is silent, and his mood is invisible; With great ambitions, he specializes in making friends with the world's heroes. Use a double-strand sword.
Guan Tianzhao, the word cloud is long, the legend is that he is nine feet tall, two feet long, red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, face like a heavy jujube, majestic, dignified appearance. Dacheng Zhenren cultivates, a flying master, and it is said that the cultivation is the Jinguang Cave inheritance of the "Taiyi True Scripture", using the Qinglong Yanyue Knife.
Zhang Sanfeng, the word Yide, legend has it that he is eight feet tall, with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, and his voice is like a huge thunder. Dacheng Zhenren cultivated, a flying master, it is said that in his dream, Lei Gong taught the Taoist method "Nine Heavens Thunder Law", using the Zhangba snake spear.
After Li Guan and Zhang Taoyuan rebelled, they recruited troops and horses, and because the three of them were very famous, they gathered three or five hundred villagers for a while, and also received two hundred horses from horse dealers free of charge. As soon as the three of them were combined, they took the soldiers, horses, grain and grass to Taishou Li Yan. Taishou Li Yan is also a cultivator in the rain realm. After learning that Li Xuande was Li Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, the relative of the clan, and the cultivation of Shi Yujing was also a medium master, after Li Yan flipped through the pedigree, Li Yan recognized Li Xuande as his nephew.
Li Yan arranged for Li Xuande to accompany the army to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, hoping that Li Xuande would win military merits. Li Xuande is brave and strategic, and Yun Changyide is a real person, with superb mana, invincible, and military achievements for a while. Several times to suppress bandits, Li Yan appointed Li Xuande as the county lieutenant of Anxi County. After taking office, Li Xuande governed the army strictly, and did not commit any crimes with the people, which won the support of the people.
The imperial court sent inspectors to various places to supervise the extermination of the Yellow Turban Army, and prepared to reward meritorious deeds. Anxi County also came to supervise the work of suppressing bandits. Li Xuande took his two righteous brothers and went ten miles out of the city to greet him, showing enough respect. As the saying goes, as soon as the Qin mission comes, the emperor's grace is vast, and the superintendent who comes down is the emperor's messenger, full of style, high-headed horses, and the guards open the way, and the scenery is infinite. Li Xuande saw that he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down, but the superintendent saw that his cultivation was low, and he didn't even look at Li Xuande, and waved his horsewhip lightly, not even bothering to speak. When he arrived at the post house, Li Xuande went to report to work again. Seeing that Li Xuande came empty-handed, and heard that Li Xuande had no relationship in the imperial court, coupled with several hints, Li Xuande still did not send the ceremony, so he began to pick thorns.
"County Lieutenant Li, now many people are falsely reporting their military exploits, and some people even cut off the heads of innocent people and pretend to be Yellow Turban traitors pretending to be military merits, and the imperial court is thoroughly investigating this matter." The superintendent said meaningfully.
"Please be enlightened, we will do our best to crusade against the Yellow Turban traitors for the imperial court, and we dare not make false reports." Li Xuande argued on the basis of reason.
Since he did not get the slightest benefit, the superintendent threatened to report to the imperial court, condemned Li Xuande and even dismissed Li Xuande. The two sides parted unhappily.
Li Xuande returned to the county government and discussed this matter with the county magistrate and other officials. The county order said: "The superintendent of the post is majestic, both soft and hard, and he should want the county lieutenant to do a little bit or two." Li Xuande said: "I just took office, and I have little money, and all the money in my family is used to recruit soldiers and buy horses, and at the same time, I am not corrupt and pervert the law, where can I give him my property?" The next day, the superintendent called the county magistrate, and the magistrate sent some loose silver. The superintendent was still angry, and ordered the county order to falsely accuse Li Xuande of killing the people and falsely reporting military exploits. Li Xuande went to explain several times, but the superintendent couldn't see it, so he directly asked his subordinates to block the door. When the common people heard that the post supervisor was going to falsely accuse Li Xuande, they went to plead for mercy, but they were beaten severely by the post supervisor.
When Zhang Sanfeng heard about this, he carried the eight snake spears in his hand, flew directly into the wind and went directly into the post house. The flying master, if he entered a no-man's land, left no armor behind the post man's men in a moment, and then tied up the post man and hung it in front of the post house.
In front of the onlookers, Zhang Sanfeng beat and scolded again and again, scolding the crimes of supervising the post one by one, and the people applauded.
Li Xuande was taking a nap, and the county magistrate hurriedly came to report the news. Li Xuande hurried over, for fear of causing another death. When I rushed over, the superintendent was calling my mother and calling my master, and my whole body was scarred. Li Xuande hurriedly shouted to Zhang Sanfeng, and Zhang Sanfeng stopped indignantly.
Zhang Sanfeng said: "Nonsense, bullying and concealment, what are such people doing if they don't kill them!" ”
The superintendent hurriedly begged Li Xuande for mercy: "Xuande Gong saved my life!" Li Xuande was soft-hearted and didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he ordered Zhang Sanfeng to stop.
At this time, Guan Tianzhao came over from the side and said: "My brother led our brothers to fight to the death to suppress the bandits, and made several meritorious contributions before becoming a county lieutenant." Now, just because we didn't give gifts, we were insulted and falsely accused by this superintendent, and wanted to put us to death. I don't think this is a place to stay for a long time, so it's better to kill the superintendent, not to be this petty official, and to have another big plan. ”
When Li Xuande heard this, he took the official seal, hung it on the neck of the superintendent, and reprimanded: "You are so upside down right and wrong, and you are ruthless and vicious, we could have killed you." But God has the virtue of a good life, and I will spare you for the time being. There is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, we will not do it! After that, he took Guan and Zhang to Daizhou to vote for Li Hui. Li Hui is also Shi Yujing.
Soon, thieves from all over the world rose again. Li Hui recommended Li Xuande to lead the troops. After Li Xuande's meritorious service, the imperial court exempted him from the crime of whipping and supervising the post, and made Li Xuande the magistrate of Pingyuan County.
Anyway, Li Xuande took Guan and Zhang to fight guerrillas everywhere, Guan Tianzhao slashed Huaxiong with warm wine, Lu Bu in the three British battles, and the famous heroes on cooking wine, etc., heroic stories were spread everywhere, and later Zhao Tianxia and other flying masters were accepted, and the team slowly developed and expanded, and Li Xuande's reputation was widely spread for a while. Soon after, Li Xuande led his troops to take refuge with Li Xuanwei and was stationed in Xinye.
Once, Li Xuande went to Li Xuanwei's place for a drink. Li Xuanwei and Li Xuande talked about their hearts, saying, "I have a matter on my mind, stuffed in my heart, and I'm ready to talk to you." I have two sons, the Chen family gave birth to Li Qi and the Aoki family gave birth to Li Cong. Li Qi is the eldest son, although he is virtuous, but he is a coward, and his cultivation has just broken through the Fengqi Realm, and now he is cultivating Yunyong Jue. Li Cong is smart and clever, and his cultivation has also broken through the Fengqi Realm, and he is also cultivating the Yunyong Technique. I want to make Li Cong my successor, but I'm afraid that the etiquette will not be reasonable. Li Qi is afraid that he will not be able to take over this family business, because many of the people in power in the army are from the Aoki family. ......" Li Xuande didn't think much about it, and blurted out, "Since ancient times, it has been abolished and grown up, which is the beginning of chaos." If you are worried about the power of the Aoki family, you can slowly reduce their power, and you can't make him your successor because you dote on your youngest son."
I don't know that if I say this, I will get into trouble. Mrs. Aoki is suspicious by nature and often eavesdrops on Li Xuanwei's side, and as soon as Li Xuande said these words, Mrs. Aoki heard it. Mrs. Aoki's teeth itched with hatred for Li Xuande. Li Xuande thought about it, this was Li Xuanwei's family matter, and he knew that he was talking too much, so he excused himself to go to the toilet. When he went to the toilet, Li Xuande found that he was old, his body was not as good as before, and it was difficult to break through Dacheng's cultivation in this life, so he began to feel sad, and his body declined before his career was completed, so he actually shed sad tears. When he came back, Li Xuanwei found that there were tears in the corners of Li Xuande's eyes, so he asked the reason. Li Xuande said, "I'm old, the 'Fengyun True Scripture' handed down by Gao Zu has been cultivated for many years, but he has not been able to break through the Thunder Realm. And now nothing has been accomplished."
Li Xuanwei said, "Where, brother, I also have mediocre qualifications, and I am still in the rain realm." Some time ago, Cao Cao cooked wine with your green plum, saying that the only heroes in the world are him and you. Cao Cao is so powerful, he is on an equal footing with you, what are you worried about? ”。 Li Xuande was drunk, so he said big, "If there is a base area, I can also compete in the world." Li Xuanwei was silent when he heard this. After Li Xuande finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly excused himself to be drunk, so he said goodbye and went back to the post house.
At this time, Mrs. Aoki began to say, "I just heard Li Xuande say that if there is a base area, you can compete for the world, this is the ambition of the wolf, I am afraid that he has already had the heart to seize Jingzhou." This person should be removed as soon as possible to avoid trouble. Li Xuanwei shook his head and did not speak.
Mrs. Aoki secretly said "waste", turned to leave, and then secretly called Aoki Mao to discuss. Aoki Mao said, "Let's kill Li Xuande first, and then tell the lord." The Lord doesn't blame us for the facts." Mrs. Aoki nodded.
As soon as Li Xuande arrived at the post house to rest, Yin Ji came in a hurry. It turned out that Yin Ji heard that Aoki Mao was coming to kill Li Xuande, so he rushed to report the news overnight. When Li Xuande heard the news, he had to say goodbye to Li Xuanwei. Yin Ji advised him, "Leave immediately, otherwise you will die in the hands of Aoki Mao." ”
Li Xuande rode away overnight, and he didn't care about taking Zhao Tianxia with them. As soon as Li Xuande left the city gate, Aoki Mao chased him to the post house. Aoki Mao found out that Li Xuande had fled, and his anger was hard to dissipate, so he had a poisonous plan and wrote an anti-poem on the wall: "Several years of helpless defense, empty to the old mountains and rivers." The dragon is in the pool, and he wants to go to the sky by thunder! "。 Then he went back to tell Li Xuanwei. When Li Xuanwei heard this, he was immediately furious, "This ungrateful guy will be cut with a thousand knives." After a while, Li Xuanwei's anger disappeared, "Li Xuande has not read much, and I have never seen him write any poems, I'm afraid it is a plan to divide the world", and he came to his senses at once. Li Xuanwei returned to the post house and cut off the anti-poems on the wall.
didn't catch Li Xuande, Aoki Mao was unwilling. The next day, Aoki Mao reported to Li Xuanwei, "The military horse is ready, and it is ready to set off to Xinye to catch Li Xuande at any time." Li Xuanwei said, "This matter has not been verified clearly, don't mess around."
Aoki Mao couldn't make a plan, and he had another plan. Aoki Mao reported to Li Xuanwei, "This year's harvest, is it a celebration in Xiangyang, a reward for hundreds of officials?" When Li Xuanwei heard this, he said, "I'm not quite comfortable, let Li Qi and Li Qiong preside over it." Aoki Mao said, "It's not good to ask the two of them young people to preside, they are too young, and their cultivation is low, it is difficult to convince the public, and they are afraid of rudeness, so it is better to ask Li Xuande to preside." Li Xuanwei agreed to this plan as soon as he heard it.
Aoki Mao went to invite Li Xuande to Xiangyang in the name of Li Xuanwei.
When Li Xuande saw that the envoy had come to invite him to Xiangyang, he told everyone what had happened last night. Everyone talked about it, and Zhang Sanfeng said, "I'm afraid it's not a good meeting, and the banquet is not a good banquet." Sun Qian said, "I think you should be cautious when you go to Xiangyang this time." Guan Tianzhao said, "Go, I'm afraid it's dangerous." If you don't go, Li Xuanwei will be even more suspicious of the eldest brother." Zhao Tianxia said, "If the lord goes, I will lead three hundred soldiers to protect the lord."
Li Xuande decided to take Zhao Tianxia to Xiangyang. Before he arrived, Aoki Mao went far out of the city wall to greet him, and he was very enthusiastic. Soon, the two sons also came out to greet them with hundreds of civil and military officials, and Li Xuande let down his guard and sighed.
That night, Zhao Tianxia stood guard around the post house 24 hours a day, on strict alert. Zhao Tianxia is also a flying master, with high mana. Aoki did not dare to attack head-on.
The next day, Li Xuande presided over the harvest festival on behalf of Li Xuanwei, and it was very lively to kill cattle and sheep. At this time, Aoki Mao and Kuai Yue were discussing how to kill Li Xuande. Aoki Mao said, "Li Xuande has wolf ambitions, and we must kill them to get rid of future troubles." Kuai Yue said, "Killing Li Xuande in broad daylight may disappoint the people of Jingzhou, and I am afraid of losing the hearts of the people, and with a flying master like Zhao Tianxia, we may not be able to beat it." Aoki Mao said, "Don't be afraid, I have a secret order from the lord, and I have also organized several Dacheng real people." Kuai Yue said, "Then let's do it." Aoki Mao said, "On the East Gate Da Xian Mountain Road, my brother Aoki and led a Dacheng real person to lead the army to guard; Outside the south gate, Aoki led a Dacheng real person to guard; Outside the north gate, Aoki Xun led a Dacheng real guard. There is only the West Gate that does not have to be guarded, where the Tanxi is blocked, and it is impossible to pass."
At the banquet, when the guests and hosts were happy, Yi whispered, "Please come out and change your clothes." Li Xuande understood and knew that there was a situation, so he immediately came out with Yin Ji.
Yin Ji told Li Xuande about the situation in 1510. Li Xuande immediately took out his Lu Ma, turned over on his horse, and rode his horse towards the West Gate. Someone blocked it, Li Xuande crashed into the past, and the subordinates saw that they couldn't stop it, so they hurriedly reported to Aoki Mao. When Aoki learned of this, he immediately led five hundred soldiers and horses to chase after him.
Li Xuande broke out of the west gate, ran wildly for several miles, and found a big river in front of him, blocking the way. This Tanxi is several meters wide, the water is turbulent and the waves are turbulent. Li Xuande came to Tanxi, and it was estimated that he would not be able to cross it. Lerma looked back and saw smoke and dust billowing from the West Gate, and it must be the pursuers coming. Li Xuande shouted: "This time it's a dead death!" ”
Seeing that the pursuers were about to arrive, Li Xuande rode his horse and jumped into the Tanxi River. After walking a few steps, the horse stumbled, and the water overflowed Li Xuande's clothes. Li Xuande shouted: "Lu, Lu!" me today! Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly Luma flew up, jumped a few meters, and flew onto the west bank.
After Li Xuande had just jumped over the horse, Aoki Mao led his pursuers to the stream. Aoki Mao shouted: "Why did Li Yuanjun leave without greeting?" Li Xuande said: "I have no grievances with you, why do you hurt me three or four times?" Aoki Mao said: "I have no intention of harming you, Li Yuanjun should not listen to other people's nonsense." Before he came back to his senses, Li Xuande saw Aoki Mao bending his bow and arrows, and immediately rode his horse and galloped away. Although Aoki Mao did not have a real cultivator, he was also a master of cultivation, and the arrows he sent out were shot with great power. Fortunately, Luma was able to dodge it, but the arrow shot through a few trees.
It turned out that Lu Ma felt that he had become a spirit and had become a demon cultivator, and he began to practice by himself and cultivated mana, so he was able to fly across Tanxi.
The frightened Li Xuande didn't dare to think about it and kept going forward. It didn't take long for Li Xuande to find a bull riding shepherd boy playing the piccolo with a melodious voice. So, Li Xuande stopped and listened to each other. At this time, the shepherd boy stopped playing and said, "You are General Li Xuande who exterminated the Yellow Turban Army, right?" ”
Li Xuande was very surprised, "Kid in the mountains, how do you know my name?" The shepherd boy said, "My master has calculated that General Li is in trouble today, and asked me to wait here." Li Xuande said, "Who is your master?" ”
"My master's surname is Xuanyuan, his name is Jingtian, the word Deguang, and he is from Yingchuan. Mr. Mizukami. The shepherd boy replied proudly.
Li Xuande said, "Can you take me to see your master?" The shepherd boy pointed to the front and said, "In the forest ahead, my master's farm is there." ”
The shepherd boy rode the ox slowly, and Li Xuande rode his horse to follow, and walked for more than two miles to a village. Li Xuande turned over and dismounted, led the horse forward, and just walked to the middle gate, he suddenly heard a beautiful sound of the piano. Li Xuande asked the shepherd boy not to be in a hurry to report, and to listen to it first.
At this time, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. I saw a person laughing out: "The piano rhyme is quiet, and the tone suddenly has a high-pitched tone." There will be heroes eavesdropping. ”
The shepherd boy told Li Xuande: "This is my master, Mr. Shui Jing. ”
This person has a loose crane bone and an extraordinary instrument. Li Xuande was covered in water and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Mr. Shui Jing said: "I would have thought that General Li would take refuge here!" Li Xuande was surprised.
After speaking, Mr. Shui Jing led Li Xuande into the grass hall. Mr. Shui Jing said, "I have already calculated the matter of Xiangyang. General Lee will stay with me tonight."
Mr. Shui Jing said, "Does the general know why he is so downcast? Li Xuande said, "Fate is bumpy." Mr. Shui Jing said, "The general needs the assistance of strange people to be able to bear the fate of the heavens."
Mr. Shuijing is a master of cultivation, it is said that he has become superb, but he has never seen him shoot, according to legend, he is proficient in divination, hexagram arithmetic, often at home to deduce the fortune of the country, for the heroes to calculate the fate. Mr. Shui Jing heard that in the past few days, Li Xuande presided over the harvest festival on behalf of Li Xuanwei in Xiangyang, so he divined Li Xuande, and learned that Li Xuande was in trouble and would flee to his side, so he sent his little apprentice to wait to greet him.
