Chapter 88 The benefactor
At the campsite, Li Li and Liang Sen got off the horse, walked forward with duck steps and legs, looking like two ducks "swaying", attracting the soldiers on both sides to look at each other.
The soldiers leading the way turned around and saw them walking, and couldn't help laughing: "A newbie riding a horse will make you grind if you don't pay attention. This is the way you walk, just get used to it."
Li Li nodded awkwardly and continued to walk forward. He and Liang Sen rode a horse for a day. Because they were novice, their riding skills were equal to zero and the inner side of their legs were worn, so their walking posture was a bit ugly.
When I turned to a large tent, I saw three layers inside and three layers outside in front of the tent. After finally squeezing in, I saw an incense table and an incense burner set up on the open space.
There are various sacrifices on the table, and the most conspicuous one is a human head.
The young General Li and several generals were burning incense and praying in front of the case, as if to comfort a spirit in heaven.
On the left and right are many soldiers, both old and young, and their expressions are mostly mixed with sorrow and joy.
Li Li and Liang Sen looked at each other silently, watching General Li cursing at the head, laughing, and howling from time to time, they felt quite good.
The man was howling and actually cried loudly. Finally, he fainted from crying. He was helped up by everyone and helped him into the tent.
The soldiers leading the way saw many soldiers picking up stones to smash the heads of the case, and Li Li and Liang Sen looked inexplicably, they explained in a low voice.
General Li was ranked second in his family, and was named Li Erlang, and his father had sacrificed his life for the country.
Li Yisun's brother Li Dalang, whose name was Yansun, was the general of the chariot and cavalry of the court. He was the third sect of the court and served as the governor of Guangzhou in Quenan. He repeatedly repelled the invading Eastern thieves.
More than four years ago, Li Dalang's chief minister Yang Bolan was bribed by the Eastern thieves, killing Li Dalang, and trying to cooperate inside and outside, leading the Eastern thieves to seize Guangzhou.
Li Erlang immediately led the Li family troops to fight back, defeated the Eastern thieves, and continued to serve the court, while thinking about avenging his brother.
"This time the official army went east to fight, Langjun was ordered to assist in the battle. He found the traces of dog thieves and led elite troops to raid. As a result, the dog thieves were treacherous, and Erlangjun almost got into a siege and couldn't get out..."
"Now, Erlangjun has obtained the head of his enemy, so he naturally wants to comfort the great man in heaven."
"So that's it." Li Li nodded. At this time, someone asked them to go in. They quickly tidy up their clothes, endured the pain, and walked in with normal stance.
As soon as he entered, General Li Yisun was brought to the head. Then, Li Yisun and everyone bowed to them together: "Li is saved by both of you, and you will be repaid with great revenge. If you are benefactor, please accept Li's worship!"
......
In the tent, Li Li and Liang Sen looked at the full of roasted lamb, butterfly and other food in front of them, their eyes shone brightly, regardless of their morality, and they started to eat and drink.
They have never tasted good or drank since they were abducted. They have struggled on the brink of life and death these days, which is extremely exciting and consumed a lot of physical strength.
Now that I have the opportunity to have a feast, how can I remember what reserve is?
Li Yisun, who was sitting in the upper head, saw that the two benefactors were eating so urgently, and smiled and said, "You two have never eaten mutton in Jiangzhou?"
"Yeah..." After Li Li said that, he chewed the mutton in his mouth, swallowed it, and then spoke: "My brother and Liang Lang fished all day long, and had never seen the sheep, let alone eaten the mutton."
Li Yisun took advantage of the two of them eating mutton and toasted them. After drinking, he asked: "Fish and sheep are the word "fresh". The mutton is delicious. I think the meat of the big fish in Pengli Lake is also very delicious?"
Li Li nodded: "Well, another day, I will have a fish banquet and ask me to have a feast for you."
"No, how can I let my benefactor cook? These days, the mutton has been full, and you two can eat and drink as much as you want, so you don't have to be polite!"
Li Li and Li Yisun both have surnames Li. Although the two Li have recognized each other from all over the world, they now have become distant brothers, with the older Li Yisun as their brother and Li Li as their younger brother.
Li Li saved Li Yisun and shot Li Yisun's enemy who killed his brother. The two kindnesses made Li Yisun very grateful, so he wanted to repay his kindness.
"Why don't you stay in Quenan. Oh, I'll send someone to Jiangzhou, Liangguo, and bring your relatives to live a good life in Quenan together."
Li Li quickly refused: "Thank you brother for your love. Liang Lang and I are still back to Liang State and guarding the tomb of our ancestors."
Li Li and Liang Sen have briefly told Li Yisun about their situation and experiences, and have said they want to go back to Liang State because Li Li also has a widowed mother, widowed sister-in-law and nephew are at home, and Liang Sen's younger brother is still looking for a thief.
Li Yisun asked, "Go back to live? When you go back, I'm afraid you're bullied again. I don't want my benefactor to suffer any more. Besides, if the descendants make a fortune, the ancestors' spirits in heaven will be relieved. How could they blame them?"
"The two fishing in the south, like shepherds grazing in the north, I think they are bullied on weekdays, and they are busy spending two meals all day, and their families work hard together. Why are they going to do this?"
The Li family, Li Li, did not have a good life in Poyang in the south, but the Li family in the north, Quenan, was very different.
From the ancestors of Li Yisun’s family, they were the powerful tyrants of Que Nan. Later, his father Li Changshou became an official in the court (Wei State) and maintained the public order of Que Nan.
A few years ago, the emperor (Emperor Wei) left Luoyang and fled west to Chang'an. The treacherous minister was puppet in Yecheng. Li Changshou followed Dayi and became an official in the Chang'an court. Later, he died when he resisted the invasion of the Eastern thieves.
Li Dalang and Li Yansun inherited the family business and continued to defend Quenan for the Chang'an court. Together with Quenan's generals, they resisted the attack of the Eastern thieves.
As a result, the Eastern Bidder bribed Li Yansun's chief secretary Yang Bolan and killed Li Dalang's life. The situation was urgent at that time. Erlang Li Yisun and his brother-in-law stabilized the situation and continued to persist in Quennan.
At present, the government army failed in the Eastern Expedition and was defeated in the decisive battle of Mangshan not long ago. When they retreated to Guanzhong, the generals of Que Nan also retreated to defend against the counterattack of the Eastern thieves and had to defend the Que Nan area no matter what.
Li Yisun tried to keep Li Li and Liang Sen, not because he wanted to let them go to the battlefield, but because the Li family was like fish in Que Nan. If Li Li, Liang Sen and his family settled in Que Nan, life would be very good.
It’s better than Li Li being a Yuliang official in Liang State.
"Don't worry, two of you, when you bring your family here, I will send you to Chang'an again, away from war, without any worries about weapons, and you don't have to worry about the cost you need."
"The two are benefactors of my Li family. Even if you come to Chang'an, you will definitely be able to live comfortably and have no worries about food and clothing. Besides, my brother-in-law and brothers are from Jingzhao. Many uncles and brothers are officials in Chang'an and they will take care of the two."
When Li Li heard the word "Jingzhao Weishi" and felt it was a bit familiar, because during the Li Tang Dynasty, Jingzhao Weishi was a family that frequently married the royal family.
Seeing that Li Li seemed to be a little moved, Li Yisun continued: "This defeat of the official army may have damaged its vitality, and the court will inevitably reorganize its troops..."
"The country is very important to military merits. If you are interested, you might as well practice your experience with me first, practice horse riding, archery, and fighting skills."
"If the time is right, it would be a pleasure for both of them to be able to obtain military positions, make military achievements in the future, be promoted or become an official, and be a county magistrate or a county magistrate?"
"Of course, I'm just a suggestion. Even if you don't do anything, I can guarantee that you and your family will live a good life in Quennan or Chang'an."
With sincere suggestions, Li Li could see that the young General Li really wanted to repay his kindness. If he and Liang Sen stayed in the Western Wei Dynasty and brought his family back, they should be able to live a good life.
The Li family is a local snake in Quinan. They live in Quinan and will not be bullied. Li Yisun has the help of his brother-in-law. If they settled in Chang'an, as long as they don't provoke any powerful people, living a small life will definitely be enough.
More importantly, according to the historical trend, the Liang State Council in the south was destroyed after the chaos, and the Chen State replaced it would inevitably end up being destroyed by the Sui State.
The foundation of the Sui Kingdom was in Guanzhong, while the foundation of the Li Tang Dynasty was also in Guanzhong.
Even though Li Li was not very clear about the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he knew Yang Sui and Li Tang.
When the Southern and Northern Dynasties ended, the Guanzhong regime was the final winner. If he followed the historical trend and stood on the side of the winner in advance, he could take the shortcuts smoothly.
The Guanzhong regime was born in the Sui and Tang dynasties. As long as he finds ways to climb into the family of Emperor Wen of Sui, he will have a settlement in the second half of his life. Not to mention being rich and noble, he will at least be stable.
Even better luck, he climbed to the family of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Yuan, and survived the bloody storm. Then decades later, his descendants might be able to enjoy the delicious food and drink in Li Tang.
Isn't it easy to stay in Liang State and follow the Southern Dynasty to the end?
A few years later, a major chaos broke out in Liang State, and then Liang and Chen were replaced by bloody storms. Then, Chen State would be in trouble with the Sui army crossing the river.
If he stayed in Jiangnan, could he, his family, and his descendants escape these great disasters again and again and again, and live until the time when the Li Tang unified the world?
The two options have completely different difficulties and are clear at a glance.
It seems that in later generations, there is an opportunity to settle down in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on the eve of the surge in housing prices, buy a large number of houses at low prices, and then do nothing, wait for the surge in housing prices and become a billionaire.
Marry the best girl and have the best medical care, education, and connections. As long as you don’t commit suicide, your children and grandchildren can enjoy the happiness for the rest of your life.
I just want to rent a house in a small county town in the fifth and sixth tier and work for a small shop. After a few years, I don’t have a girlfriend. I can’t even pay my monthly salary, let alone get a long way to get enough down payment.
The huge gap, the unquestionable best choice, do you need hesitation?
Li Li hesitated.
He had no real feelings for the country of this era, and even because of his humble status, the court did not need his feelings.
However, he remembered the four words "Flying south through clothes".
Li Li didn't say anything, and Liang Sen didn't think so much. For him, there was no difference between Liang and Wei. Anyway, after rescuing his younger brother, he would just live a good life on the side.
Of course, he must follow Li Li, and he will go wherever Li Li goes.
Seeing that Li Li was silent, Li Yisun seemed to be making a choice in his heart, and stopped talking about it, changing the topic.
"The law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is unhappy. Yang Bolan, the dog thief, has now been awarded the title of the boss. My brother will be repaid. Next, I don't know when my father's revenge will be repaid."
Li Li retracted his thoughts and asked, "Brother, I wonder who was the uncle who was harmed?"
Li Yisun replied: "At that time, my father was in office as the governor of Guangzhou... Guangzhou is the Guangzhou you went north and marched by this time."
"My father was appointed as the governor of Guangzhou. The Eastern thief attacked. After the city was broken, my father was killed. At that time, the commander of the bandit soldiers who ordered the killing of people was Hou Jing, the Eastern thief Xingtai."
"Hao, what is Hou?" Li Li asked hurriedly. What Li Yisun said made him feel touched in his memory.
