Chapter 4 1 9 Character is like this
When Li Wuchang was in Fengyi County, Li Lingwu was busy negotiating with the Huns in Wuyuan County with Li Hu and his brothers, and he had no time to take care of anything else.
By the time Li Lingwu returned, the imperial court had already designated Li Wuchang as a treacherous and shameless thief, the kind of diehards who had to be executed.
Li Wuchang was originally a viscount of His Majesty, holding the position of a guerrilla general of the imperial court and holding the court's money, but he did not want to serve the imperial court, but instead plotted to rebel, wrote a bullshit so-called proverbial document and sent it everywhere, cursing the saint, smearing the prince and the ministers of the court, fooling the people, inciting people's hearts, and the intentions were extremely sinister.
In addition, Li Wuchang also colluded with the Hanshui Gang, encircled and suppressed the Hongnong Rebellion Army, sought to seize the city of Dayan, and brutalized the good people, even if he died a thousand times, it was not enough to wash away his sins.
The matter has been decided.
There is no room for turnaround.
Li Wuchang has no turning back now, if he doesn't resist to the end, he will only die without a place to be buried, and he will bear the reputation of a rebel after death.
Hiding is certainly a solution, but judging from the current situation, Li Wuchang categorically will not do that.
Onlookers in Chang'an City had mixed reviews of Li Wuchang's behavior.
Many people cater to the meaning of the imperial court, scolding Li Wuchang for being a wolf with ambition, and betraying the holy grace and betraying the imperial court is really a crime that deserves death.
There are also many people who regard Li Wuchang as a weak person who is bullied.
Li Wuchang obviously made great contributions on the battlefield, but because he separated the Li family, plus he had a lot of property in his hands, and offended the Zhang family, he was treated extremely unfairly.
The part of the people who sympathized with Li Wuchang was not very disgusted with his rebellious behavior, and thought that there was still a difference between him and the Hanshui Gang and others.
Of course, the second argument is mostly discussed secretly in private, and if it is discussed publicly, it will be arrested and then charged with various crimes.
It has been a few days since Li Lingwu returned to Chang'an City.
He has some understanding of the reasons for Li Wuchang's incident and what he did after the incident, but he has not discussed it with others.
The Li family did not take the initiative to provoke the topic of Li Wuchang, even if Li Ji and other elders did not talk about it, others did not dare to talk about things related to Li Wuchang in front of him, so as not to touch his bad head.
Now that Li Zhongyue has mentioned it, Li Lingwu has a feeling in his heart, and he wants to have a good discussion with a few close brothers of his own.
"Why does impermanence rebel...... Well, why the incident...... Hey, why are you angry, I won't say more, big brother, you also know something, I'll talk about what happened later!"
Li Hu laughed dryly, thought about it, and used the word "temper tantrum" to describe Li Wuchang's actions, which was an embarrassing start, and then his face was solemn, and he continued: "First of all, he personally led people to rob the imperial court's material escort team, a total of three times, each time it was easy to succeed, defeated the court's men and horses, and then took all the materials away.
At the same time, he also instructed his nearly 100 good men to rob the Zhuangzi of many large families in the three counties of Shangluo, Hongnong, and Fengyi, and also scattered a lot of grain, and many forces followed with a lot of benefits.
Then, with the hundreds of troops under his command, he developed his strength in Feng Yi, and in less than ten days, he gathered more than 5,000 people, dominated the southwest of Feng Yi, and made a monstrous wave. ”
When Li Lingwu heard this, he bowed slightly, looking quite happy, and said, "I didn't expect that kid to have some prestige in Feng Yi!"
Li Qing said with a smile: "Big brother, impermanence is not a bit of prestige in Feng Yi, but quite prestigious, at that time, Wang Taishou didn't send troops to attack him, so he sent a few right-hand men to Feng Yi's southwest for a while."
It is reported that many civilian lieutenants in Feng Yicheng were very angry at that time, saying that they were unhappy because of impermanence, and they almost couldn't hold it back, if impermanence went to attack Feng Yicheng at that time, I guess it would not take much effort to take the city!"
Li Zhongyue said: "Not only that, even Wang Taishou wants to abdicate and make way for Xian, but on the surface, he is exhausted, and the meaning of dissatisfaction is obvious......"
Saying this, Li Zhongyue and Li Qing's faces gradually darkened.
If Li Wuchang was really a heinous rebel, how could he have gathered so many people in such a short period of time? How could Feng Yicheng have so many people crying out for him?
And the reason why Li Wuchang didn't attack Feng Yicheng was definitely because he didn't want to draw his sword against Wang Taishou and others, so he chose to go to Hongnong and join forces with Zhu Changsheng and other forces.
Even Wang Taishou expressed his dissatisfaction, and even a group of civilian captains could speak up for Li Wuchang, but the Li family did nothing.
Big families also have the sorrows of big families, and every move has a lot to do with it.
Everything has to be done in the interests of the family.
Li Hu saw that the atmosphere was a little weird, and immediately said: "After that kid lived in the Hanshui Gang and took Hongnong City, he went directly to Jingzhao to make trouble for a few days, and after a false shot, he patted his ass and went to Fangling." ”
Li Lingwu asked, "Did you just say that there are more than 10,000 troops under Impermanence, and they are all collected by Feng Yi and Hongnong?"
Li Hu explained: "Feng Yi and Hongnong probably collected more than 6,000, and the rest was collected in Fangling, including his descendants from Zhuangzi and civilians who fled from Fangling County. ”
Li Lingwu nodded, and said with great interest: "Hey, tell me, what will that kid do next?"
Li Zhongyue sighed: "What else can you do, be the king of the mountain! There are so many wild forests in the north of Fangling, and he has made a lot of wealth and grain in Yongzhou, which is enough to last for a long time." ”
Li Qing nodded in agreement.
Now in the territory of Dayan, it is not uncommon for mountain kings with thousands of men and horses under their command, and most of them are alive and well.
Li Hu shook his head and said, "I have a different opinion, if Impermanence only wants to be an ordinary mountain king, it is enough to have the initial more than 6,000 people, and there will not be so many civilians." ”
Li Qing was stunned and said: "Could it be that Impermanence still wants to take Fangling City? This is unlikely, he only has 10,000 troops, not many of them can be called elite, and there are many new soldiers, what will he use to seize the city? Even if he can take the city, it will definitely be a heavy loss, and what will he take to defend it after that?"
Li Zhongyue said: "Even if he can take the city without damage, it will be a situation of guarding the city and waiting for death." It is true that Fangling City's defense is not strong now, but Lei Daneng in the southeast of Fangling has a lot of troops, that is, deterrence, and now that the pressure on Liangzhou has been greatly reduced, it will not take long to support the troops to pass. Impermanence, he doesn't have a helper?"
Li Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "No helper, what is Han Dazhi? Han Dazhi has a very good personal relationship with impermanence, and impermanence has saved his life before, even if Impermanence doesn't ask him, he will take the initiative to help Impermanence!"
Li Zhongyue and Li Qing were stunned.
Li Hu continued: "For the imperial court, the situation in that area is not optimistic, and because Fangling and Badong are close to Jingzhou, there will definitely be no peaceful days for a while. If impermanence is allowed to take Fangling City, all kinds of reactionary forces will definitely be happy to see it, they will not attack impermanence, they will only use impermanence as a fortress to attract firepower in front of them, they can stir up the storm in Yiling and Padang with all their might, and the situation over there will definitely become more complicated at that time......"
Li Lingwu said: "So, Impermanence will definitely take Fangling City?"
Li Hu smiled: "Big brother, I'm just guessing...... Anyway, I think he will take a city as soon as possible, maybe Badong or Yiling!"
Li Lingwu was curious: "Why are you so sure?"
Li Hu pursed his lips and said: "It has something to do with the impermanence of his character, you think, he has to build a new house for every family when he goes to be a farmer, and now he is the leader, if he doesn't get a base, it is a little unreasonable!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.
