Chapter 175: Crossing the Canyon
Li Siyuan waited in front of the sickbed for four days and four nights, and saw that his father's illness did not improve at all, and he had scabies on the back of his head.
Lang Zhong came to prescribe a few more pairs of medicines, but it still didn't work. Explain to Li Siyuan to prepare for the future of King Jin.
Li Siyuan was worried for a while, once something happened to his father, then this Hedong Kyushu is really going to be turbulent, so what can I do? !
At present, the top priority is to let the eldest brother Li Cunxun rush back from Luzhou as soon as possible.
This Li Cunqiao was born to Li Keyong and his second wife Cao, and was his eldest son.
Li Cunxun likes to ride horses and shoot arrows since he was a child, and he is very courageous, and when he was a teenager, he followed his father Li Ke to fight in the south and the north, and fought in the field of horses.
When he was 11 years old, Li Cunqiao and his father went to Chang'an to report to the Tang Dynasty. Tang Zhaozong was extremely happy when he saw the heroic young man Li Cunxuan, rewarded him with jade jade plates and other treasures, and stroked his back and said: "This child is different, and he will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future!"
And he said to his servants, "This son is his father." Therefore, Li Cunqiao is also known as "Li Yazi".
In order to consolidate his power, Li Keyong adopted many soldiers who could fight as adopted sons, and changed their surnames to Li.
In order to be the same generation as his sons, he named them all and stored them in the word generation. Among his adopted sons, there were 13 people who were the most favored, and people called these 13 people the Thirteen Taibao.
They have made great contributions to Li Keyong's fight against the world.
And these adopted sons are all older than Li Keyong's own son Li Cunmiao.
Li Siyuan immediately thought that he had to let his brother come back as soon as possible. If something happens to the father, then these adopted sons will definitely provoke disputes and compete for the throne of King Jin.
One of the adopted sons of that year, Li Cunxiao, the head of the Thirteen Taibao, was a bloody lesson.
Li Cunxiao is the best of the thirteen Taibao, strong martial arts, can fight habitually, and later, at the instigation of others, he actually betrayed the king of Jin, and was captured by his father back to Jinyang, and the car broke and died.
Thinking of this, Li Siyuan not only became anxious for a while, but also longed for his brother Li Cunxun to fly back from Luzhou immediately.
Early the next morning, Li Siyuan immediately found his father's right-hand men, Shi Jianjiao, An Yuanxin, An Jinquan and others, and clarified his views. Several people nodded yes, and in less than half a day, everything was ready, and together with Li Siyuan, they led a thousand light horsemen to aid Luzhou, replacing Li Cunxun and coming back to take care of the aftermath.
This Jinyang is Taiyuan, to Luzhou that is Changzhi, there are more than 230 kilometers between.
This team of 1,000 people, riding horses, can only travel more than 30 kilometers a day.
Everyone eats and sleeps in the open, day and night, which makes people sleepy.
On this day, when we reached a steep mountain, Li Siyuan stopped his horse, turned around and asked, "General Shi, where have we been?"
Shi Jianjiao stepped forward, looked around, and said, "General Li, we have arrived at Gaohe." ”
"Oh......!" Li Siyuan nodded, and then said, "I see that the fog is billowing in front, as if there is a danger hidden, you inform the soldiers behind to pay more attention, and beware of someone sneaking ...... attack!"
"Okay, general, please rest assured ......!" Then he turned around and conveyed Li Siyuan's order.
Li Siyuan rode forward quickly, he knew that although there were some risks, if he encountered some problems, he could at least provide enough time for the people behind him to defend.
Then he entered a canyon, his heart jumped up nervously, looked up at the canyon with only a glimmer of sky, and his heart was not only shocked, but his heart said, if there is an ambush above, this thousand people are really only wiped out!
Then he turned the horse's head and came back.
Shi Jianjiao, An Yuanxin, An Jinquan and others saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward, "General Li, is there any problem ahead?"
"Well, this ......!" Li Siyuan looked at everyone, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I see a canyon in front of me, and it can be said that it is a man who can be opened." There are not many people on the canyon, if there are only a dozen people, there is a hidden mechanism, and after our team enters the canyon, we will push down the rolling wood and stones. More than 1,000 of us will surely become meatloaf!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at each other, and their hearts began to become nervous, "General Li, what can I do about this? There is no second way to go except this!"
Li Siyuan looked up at the sky, and saw that it was getting late, and glanced around again, there was really no second way to go.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, with a determined look in his eyes, and said to himself, "That's the only way to do it......!"
"Oh......?!" everyone relaxed, knowing that he had figured it out.
Because this is also the case in daily life, at every critical moment, General Li can always come up with ideas and come up with solutions, and everyone has always been full of admiration and trust in him.
"General Li, you say, what should we do?" said several people with a smile. It means that you don't sell us off, you just issue an order, and we will listen to you in everything!
A confident smile hung on the corner of Li Siyuan's mouth, and he said to everyone: "Let's go separately!"
"How to divide it?" This An Yuanxin is an anxious person and a rough person, he likes to be straightforward and has a hot temper, so he hurriedly asked.
This An Jinquan hurriedly interjected: "Big brother, you let General Li finish speaking, why are you in a hurry?"
This An Yuanxin and An Jinquan are brothers, An Yuanxin is the eldest brother, and An Jinquan is the younger brother. One acute, one chronic.
Every day, An Jinquan thinks that his brother is too straight, and he speaks hurtfully, so he can't get used to it.
This An Yuanxin still thinks of this younger brother, he always does things slowly, and he also looks down on his chronic son, and the two of them are arguing a lot about this.
An Yuanxin's eyes widened, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I won't say it......!"
Li Siyuan immediately took over the conversation, "We are divided into ten teams, one team of one hundred people, this first team will go to the canyon, and when we are halfway through, the second team will enter again." Basically, keep this distance, take care of the front and back, and not wipe out the whole army, what do you think?"
"That's a great way to do it!" everyone nodded in agreement.
In this way, the first team was led by Li Siyuan, and the middle team was taken care of by An Yuanxin and An Jinquan, and finally Shi Jianjiao.
Of course, this first team, the risk is the greatest. Then Li Siyuan will definitely take this risk on himself. If you don't say that this General Li can be convinced and respected by all the officers and soldiers?
Li Siyuan led more than a hundred cavalry and rushed into the canyon, and he was full of energy, always ready for this sudden attack.
In the empty canyon, the echo of kicking horses' hooves reverberates. It was in this chaotic sound that when he walked halfway through the canyon, Li Siyuan still heard a strange sound.
Because on both sides of this canyon, there is indeed an army of more than 2,000 girders hidden. Because this road was the only way to reinforce Luzhou, the Liang army set up an ambush here.
The sound that Li Siyuan heard was the same rattling sound that the soldier made when he twisted the mechanism and was about to pop out the rolling wood and stones.
Li Siyuan understood everything at once, his judgment was not wrong, there was indeed an ambush on it.
But they won't act rashly, because they are only a hundred or so riding into the canyon.
His prediction was not wrong, and when the soldiers stirred the mechanism and were about to throw down the rolling logs, they immediately received an order: "Wait for the opportunity, don't move ......!"
It was the tactics of Li Siyuan's detachment that played a decisive role.
The commander of the Liang army above saw that only more than a hundred people rode into the canyon, and thought that this was just the vanguard force, and a large number of troops must still be behind. It is better to wait for the large army to enter the canyon, and then move and annihilate its entire army, which will achieve the greatest result at a very small cost.
The soldier got the order and immediately stopped his movements, but the sound of them stirring the mechanism just now still made Li Siyuan hear it. He clamped the horse's belly hard, quickened his speed, galloped wildly, and rushed out of the canyon first.
Followed by the second team and the third team, they all rushed into the canyon one after another, and they also rushed out one after another.
The commander above was dumbfounded, knowing that he had made a mistake in judgment, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly activate the mechanism ......!"
But it was too late, that Li Siyuan had already led the first hundred cavalry to rush out of the canyon, rushed to the top of the canyon, and did not wait for the Liang army to start the mechanism, the spear and short sword were waved, just like chopping melons and vegetables, and the Liang army was beaten in a mess, crying father and mother.
Li Siyuan was killing up, and suddenly a team of men and horses came out from the halfway up the mountain. But when he saw that there was a general on that horse, he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a leopard's head and eyes, and a big axe in his hand, and shouted: "Who is bold and does ...... good thing to me?!"
Li Siyuan looked up to the sky and laughed, and waved his eight lances forward, "You are still a general in the Liang army, why don't I even recognize my grandfather?"
"Oh?" the guy was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Siyuan carefully, "You...... You are...... It's Li ...... of 'Rampage'"
Before he finished speaking, Li Siyuan smiled "hehe", "Even if you still have a little eyesight, it's my grandfather and my ......!"
This "rampaging capital" is famous all over the world, but who doesn't know it, who doesn't know it? Because the cavalry team led by Li Siyuan was on a rampage in battle and was invincible.
Immediately, Li Siyuan immediately said: "Come on, you report your name, my lance will never die a nameless ghost...!"
"Ah——!" the man roared, "Grandpa, I won't change my name, I won't change my surname, but the Great Liang General Qin Wu is also!"
"Who should I be?" Li Siyuan smiled slightly, "It turned out to be General Qin, offended, and ...... with his life!"
"General Lee, slow ......!"
When Li Siyuan heard the shout, he paused, stopped his horse, and turned to look at each other, but when he saw An Jinquan waving his double hammer and rushing forward, he shouted loudly: "Use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens, General Li, let my brother fight this battle today......"!
