Chapter 186 Chasing the North (35)
More than a dozen Li Jiancheng's subordinates who were already drunk were all stopped drinking. They watched Li Jiancheng's personal slave hand over the hot lacquer rope cover, and then retreated silently.
The maid leader also stood at the entrance of the bridge and stopped the maid from coming forward.
Without Li Jiancheng's explanation, these servants had already done all this naturally, and the Li family's background was unintentionally revealed.
The dozen Li Jiancheng's disciples, who were sitting most close to Jiancheng Yuanji's brothers, was a young man who was less than 30 years old and looked extremely handsome and elegant. He had three long beards like a southern style. He sat there, his bald head was not crowned, his long hair was disheveled, and he was floating and outspoken.
He glanced at the leather tube, recognized the special recognition on the hot paint, and snorted in his heart: "Liu Zhaoren!"
This young man is called Xie Shufang. His family’s reputation is enough to scare ordinary people to death. He is from the Xie family in Jiangzuo!
Since the Sima family moved south, the people of the Xie family have always been the mainstay of the south. Xie An came out of Dongshan and defeated Fu Jian's 800,000 troops to fight in the southern expedition, and the other children of the Xie family were all famous all over the world.
Even though the Southern Dynasty changed, from the Song Dynasty to the Chen Dynasty and the Xie family were all aristocratic families that had been passed down for hundreds of years, and they have never lacked high officials and generous salaries.
When Emperor Kaihuang pacified the south, he had to respect the Xie family and recruit the children of the Xie family to enter the court to strengthen the prosperous era of north and south.
However, the fundamental national policies adopted by Kaihuang and Daye were actually to suppress the aristocratic families and strengthen the authority of the central government. The famous Jiangzuo Xie family at that time had declined during the Southern Dynasties. During the Sui Dynasty, they were just talking about making up for the numbers. The children of the northern aristocratic families could bully the Xie family.
As the direct inheritor of the Xie family in Jiangzuo, Xie Shufang has noble bloodlines, smart since childhood, and both civil and military. He was booked as the next generation head of the family early on. He has little ambition to revitalize the Xie family for four hundred years. How can he tolerate the current situation of the Xie family?
Fortunately, as the aristocratic family worked tirelessly to dig holes, the Sui Dynasty finally became fragmented and shaky. Xie Shufang also chose the Longxi Li family, which seemed to be the most successful, hoping to take the Xie family up in the process of changing dynasties and continue for hundreds of years.
Among the Li family in Longxi, Xie Shufang chose the prince Jiancheng, who had the best reputation, the most prestigious and the most stable status. With his family background and knowledge, he soon stood out and became one of the leaders that Jiancheng valued.
All choices look perfect and the future is smooth. As long as the Li family in Longxi can finally turn their families into a country and succeed in the throne, the Xie family can take advantage of the situation and shine in the hands of his new generation of heads!
But under Jiancheng, the ranking is something that is worth fighting for. Everyone knows that the closer they are to the master, the more benefits they will be in the future.
Now Xie Shufang's biggest opponent is Liu Wenjing, who has a shabby family background but is extremely arrogant and bold.
As the magistrate of Jinyang County, when Li Yuan entered Jinyang, Liu Wenjing decisively joined forces. This relationship was extraordinary. Liu Wenjing also fell in love with Li Jiancheng at a glance, running around and serving. Xie Shufang was guilty of his unparalleled family background and was outstanding, but he could not defeat this person with shallow family background!
During these days, Liu Wenjing volunteered to go to Mayi County to take the situation on the east flank of Dinghe River. After a few months, Xie Shufang felt that his breathing was much more relaxed, and he wished that Liu Zhaoren, who had nostrils rising every day, would not come back in Mayi County.
At the Gaoke Conference today, Xie Shufang was talking and laughing, talking about literature and martial arts, and the audience was full of praise. It was the moment of pride that Liu Wenjing suddenly came to pass the letter, and all the good mood was ruined. Now there was no mood to talk and laugh anymore, but just waited for Li Jiancheng to finish reading the speech, and see what kind of news came from Liu Wenjing!
Li Jiancheng was in the upper hand, calmly disassembled, took out the fire paint, and opened the documents to watch. Li Yuanji also jumped up and watched behind his brother.
The documents seem to be very much content. The two brothers have been reading for a long time, and their expressions change differently.
Li Jiancheng was filled with a hint of embarrassment while Li Yuanji looked at him with excitement, and he looked like he wanted to rush out immediately and meet someone like a character!
The next ten people breathed slightly, just waiting for Li Jiancheng to reveal the answer.
After reading the document, Li Jiancheng steadily put the document into the leather tube, knocking on several cases, and frowned and pondering.
Li Yuanji did not have the calmness he deliberately cultivated by his brother. He suddenly waved his fist next to him and shouted: "Dalang, what else do you want? Please ask my father for troops to enter Shanyang! Take advantage of the situation to deal with Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou! I will follow my brother, and I will meet that Lelangjun. I don't believe he really has that great ability?"
Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Yuanji: "This matter is very important. What do you know? Just talk nonsense here?"
After scolding his fourth brother, Li Jiancheng then faced everyone and said slowly: "Zhaoren worked hard in Mayi for several months, and finally news came. Liu Wuzhou raised an army to attack Wang Rengong, general Xu Le, and attacked him with a vanguard. Zhang Wansui, the general under Wang Rengong, and captured Shenwu. Wang still Gong rushed his army to counterattack, but was defeated by Xu Le, and his troops were defeated to Shanyang. Wang Rengong's reputation was gone for a lifetime. Now he asks Hedong to help, and is willing to invite three thousand Hedong soldiers to Kaiyang and Shanyang to resist Liu Wuzhou."
There was a burst of low screams of exclamation during the meal.
Wang Rengong gave up the Wang family in Taiyuan, and had a reputation as a famous general for 20 years. He was in charge of the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi, with tens of thousands of elite troops. He was despised by his background, but he had three or four thousand long battles with tired old soldiers.
Everyone in Hedong was worried that after Wang Rengong annexed Liu Wuzhou, he would use his elite troops in Mayi to suppress the side of Hedong and restrain the Duke of Tang from rising up and heading to Chang'an. It turned out that Liu Wenjing wanted to leave, and wanted to contact Liu Wuzhou to strengthen his momentum and restrain Wang Rengong.
However, unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, when the turn of autumn and winter was not the time for military use, Liu Wuzhou defeated Wang Rengong's army with only a side-line army!
And where did that Xu Le come out? You have heard of Yuan Junzhang under Liu Wuzhou's command, and Yuchi Gong. But you have never heard of Xu Le!
A freshman captured Zhang Wansui, defeated Shenwu, and defeated Wang Rengong's army. What kind of battle formation talent is this?
There are so many elite soldiers and generals in the clouds! The elite soldiers in the clouds alone cannot accomplish anything, but how can they take the elite soldiers in the clouds into the tent? This battle between the world will be more confident!
Before everyone was surprised, Li Jiancheng said slowly: "Zhaoren suggested that he would lead his troops to Mayi. Seeing the dispute between Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou, taking advantage of both of them to take Mayi into his bag in one fell swoop, and collect the elite troops in Yunzhong as their minions under the tent. Then the great affairs of his father will surely be accomplished."
Li Yuanji was already so excited that his eyes shone with his fists, and he clenched his fists and shouted: "Liu Zhaoren's advice! This guy is a good person! Let's go to Mayi, meet these elite soldiers in the world! Meeting these powerful generals in Mayi! Subduing them, driving them, and letting them serve my Li family!"
Li Jiancheng's expression changed, but for a moment he was a little hesitant and difficult to decide.
It is indeed a rare opportunity to suddenly have such an accident in Mayi. But do you really want to go to Mayi for a walk?
At this time, Xie Shufang slowly stood up, flapped his sleeves with ease, clasped his fists and bowed his hands.
