Chapter 414: Longxi Li Clan seizes power by force
The Li family in Longxi originated from Li Chong, the governor of Longxi County in the Qin Dynasty. Li Chong, who started his own business for three generations, finally became a prominent local family. His grandson Li Xin later became a general of the Qin Dynasty and was granted the title of Marquis of Longxi.
During the Han Dynasty, an important figure in the Li family in Longxi was produced - the flying general Li Guang! Later, Li Guang's grandson Li Ling was captured and surrendered to the Huns, causing the reputation of the Li family in Longxi to decline.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Li clan of Longxi emerged in troubled times, and a king of Xiliang, Li Hao, was also named the first emperor of the Li clan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many famous literati also appeared. By the Sui Dynasty, the Li family in Longxi was already a powerful family with a strong rank, which is one of the legendary five surnames and seven families.
It is worth mentioning that Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Li Yuan is also of the Li family in Longxi. Of course, Li Yuan has the bloodline of the Hu people from the matriarchy, so he doesn't consider it. After all, it depends on the man's succession.
Li Yuan was a descendant of the Xiliang King of Li Hao of the Li clan in Longxi, so during the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan won the world and regarded the Li surname as the national surname. At the same time, the Li clan in Longxi also rose sharply.
However, at this time, Li Yuan's branch was already a remote branch and was not a direct line. Before Li Yuan became the emperor, the Li family in Longxi had always looked down on him. Now that the emperor wants to rely on him again, he is still not accepted.
That's right, Li Yuan leaned over to the Li family in Longxi. Because of the thousand-year-old aristocratic families, the emperor was really nothing great in the circle of aristocratic families, and the royal family did not dare to provoke these big families. Without looking at Yang Guang's fierce figures, he could only deal with the aristocratic families with the entire imperial examination system, and did not dare to directly move troops?
After becoming an emperor, he was still looked down upon by the Li clan of Longxi. Even the head of the Li clan was afraid that Li Yuan would take away the authentic name of the Li clan and annex the Li clan of Longxi from then on!
Li Yuan was very dissatisfied and since then he was independent, that is, the royal family, who regarded his ancestors as Taoist Li Er (that is, the saint Laozi). Therefore, although the royal family and the Longxi Li family were related, they had already split.
Li Chengdao and his wife first borrowed 10,000 troops from the Lingzhou camp in Shuofang, and then led the army to Liangzhou (now Wuwei, Gansu), found Li Xiaogong to borrow 10,000 troops, and then went straight to Huaili (now Lintao County), the old nest of the Li family in Longxi in the south.
The Li family in Longxi is deep in the local area and is located in the rear of Liangzhou. Li Xiaogong could not have known that the Gaochang Transportation Team was completely blocked. However, he also knew that this was a war belonging to Bai Fan. If anyone else dared to face a big family alone, so he did not get news or ask for help, and Li Xiaogong did not stand up and act rashly.
"Great Elder, Great Elder! No, the messenger came to report that Prince Li Chengdao of Anlu led an army of 20,000 toward Huaili in a fierce manner. Judging from the situation, he was going to attack us!" The housekeeper hurriedly reported to the Grand Elder of Li.
The Li clan leader was not here, and he brought five thousand elite dead soldiers to the Lu clan in Fanyang, so the chief of the Li clan leader is now in charge.
"What are you panic? The Li family in Longxi has been standing for thousands of years. Who dares to attack us? What's the situation?" the elder shouted.
"According to the information obtained by the spies, the Prince of Anlu set out from Chang'an, brought out 10,000 troops to Shuofang, and then transferred to Liangzhou to add 10,000 troops, and joined 20,000 troops to come to our Huaili. The specific reason is unknown.
Did you think it was for us to detain Bai Fan's goods? This Li Chengdao is Bai Fan's proud disciple." The butler said.
The elder pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it's probably true. I didn't expect that Bai Fan was really capable. He could even invite the royal family that had been watching from the wall. I don't believe it. So what about the royal family? So what about the army of 20,000?
If we really dare to attack me, Li, everyone in our locals would be soldiers and would not be afraid of these 20,000 people.
Since they are informing the guards of the useless cotton goods, they are urgently following the power and no longer have to defend themselves. They set all the backlog of cotton in the vehicles and withdraw our troops, so as not to be caught by others."
The housekeeper clapped his hands and said, "Gaoming, the great elder, the goods are useless to us. If you set fire to others, you will not need to be guarded. You can also cut off the enemy's wealth."
"Well, let me know that they will burn one carriage in batches in the future.
Li Chengdao is here and cannot let him catch our people, so keep it confidential.
I'll go and meet this eldest son of the King of Jin's Mansion for a while and see how many disciples from Zhongnan Academy are!”
On the other side, on the road from Liangzhou to Huaili.
"Big sister, I don't agree that we are divided into two groups. You are a weak woman, how can you go out alone?" Li Chengdao advised Bai Damei.
It will be two days before you can reach Huaili. Li Chengdao decided to split into two groups, and went to launch a military force to investigate and to clear the transportation lines around Huaili.
But Bai Damei suggested that she would lead 10,000 people to clear the surrounding transportation team, which surprised Li Chengdao. Seeing Bai Damei's quietness, how could she do such martial arts?
"Who is a weak woman? My brother said, there are no weak women in the Bai family. In your eyes, am I a weak woman? Why not let's compete and see who can defeat who? Don't think that you have learned a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu and want to act as a man." Bai said dissatisfied.
...Li Chengdao quickly shook his head.
The two of them had privately discussed the Mo family's sword technique. They were tortured by their own Mo family. God knew that his quiet fiancée had been taught by his master some peerless martial arts. He was so powerful. Perhaps only Qin Huaidao in the army could fight against him.
"No, no, I mean you are not suitable to lead troops. Just let the deputy general take over these 10,000 people. You have no experience in the battlefield. If you fight, I'm worried about you."
When Bai Damei heard this, she was in a better mood, after all, the other party cared about her.
"You said too, just the deputy general, I just follow and take a look, don't worry, the Li family in Longxi is too shameless and dares to cut off the business path of my Bai family. As a member of the Bai family, since I have come, I will naturally have to vent my anger for my brother. I have a hundred Wu Yingwei! Don't worry about me.
On the contrary, if you go deep into the other party’s nest, you must be careful.”
"It's okay, I'm the title of the Tang Dynasty. They touched me and it was a rebellion. The Li family in Longxi didn't have the courage, and I still have ten thousand elite soldiers to guard it!
You can go and have a look. Pay attention to safety. If the matter is done, don’t come to Huaili. After all, if the other party shamelessly detains you, then the master will be passive."
"Yeah, I got it."
After the two discussed, Li Chengdao ordered the deputy general Lawyer Pei (Pei Ji's eldest son) to protect Bai Damei first and second, and then the 20,000 troops separated.
Not long after they parted, Bai Damei took the initiative to find Lawyer Pei with Wu Yingwei.
"General Pei, summon all the commanders of thousands of men. I have something to do to give me."
"This...Madam, what are you doing with the commanders? The prince said that he would protect you. Just follow us and take action."
Lawyer Pei didn't expect, what happened? Why did this young lady suddenly talk about this? Why did she seem to be asking for command?
Bai Damei sneered: "You do it? What are you doing? When you come, they will transform into local good people. You can't even find people. How can you clear the business path?
Leave this matter to me and summon the commander of the thousand men."
This... Lawyer Pei pondered.
Although this is reasonable, Lawyer Pei is a scheming person like his father and never thought of asking a woman to take power.
"It's okay. The general will have his own countermeasures. Just sit down. Let's take the army, let's do it for us men!"
When Big Sister Bai saw it, she looked down on our daughter's house so much?
Xiu brows frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Wu Yingwei, protect the surroundings, I want to have a chance to compete with General Pei!"
