Da Wei Chun

Chapter 586 Wang Xian's visit
On the first day of February, when the gates of the city were opened, Li Chengzhi made a special trip to the palace to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and all her assistants.

It took a full hour, and he left the palace at Mao Shi, and then set off.

It is about [-] miles from Luoyang to Pingzhou. The court has a two-month deadline, and the average is only [-] miles per day, which is ample time.But Li Chengzhi seemed to be chased by a dog behind him, and he ran in an unusual hurry.

He crossed the Yellow River on the first day, and by nightfall, he had reached Guting County, 120 miles away.It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, and the sky was dark and overcast again before dawn the next day.When the night fell, there would be snowflakes, and this time, it would be endless.

Although the snow was not heavy, and the sky was cloudy and sunny, the trip was still delayed a lot.After traveling for seven days, the snow also fell intermittently for seven days. The accompanying army, subordinate officials, and assistant officials all exerted all their strength, and they were able to travel five hundred miles, and they will enter Shangdang County.

As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. Although this statement is somewhat biased, it is not unreasonable.Throughout history, there have been longer-lived dynasties such as the Han, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties. They have been able to go up without being greedy and down to the bottom, and dare to call their officials Qingming for only one or two generations.What's more, the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was almost rotten to the bone?

It is human nature for officials to be greeted and sent away. Li Chengzhi is a state prince, a relative of the emperor, and a new nobleman. After a visit, I will give you a rite of passage.

But Li Chengzhi went the other way, no matter how big or small your official is, whether you have a noble or not, how glorious your ancestors were, and how high officials your parents were, I don't care.

Every day, he departs at dawn and enters the post station as soon as it gets dark. All foreign affairs and entertainment are all given by the head of the state, Shi Yuantian.And emphatically confess: whoever he sees and who he doesn't see is up to him to decide.He can accept as much as he likes, but he can't miss the itinerary.

This person belongs to the Tuoba clan, but it has been separated from the current emperor by more than ten generations, so there is no title inheritance, and his father was just a guerrilla general before his death.

However, Yuan Tianci was very handsome and good at riding and shooting, so he was quite famous in Beijing.He also made good friends with Yuan Hui, Yuan Zhao and other brothers, and then attached himself to Gao Zhao. He started out as a high-ranking official, and now he is less than thirty, and he is already a fourth-rank casual rider.

Gao Zhao originally wanted him to be the Taiwei and take charge of Cao Zhi's affairs, but for some reason, Li Chengzhi was given the post of long history.

Presumably Yuan Tianci had been cited by Gao Zhao as his confidant and sent to monitor him.Although they had only been together for a few days, Li Chengzhi could roughly see that this person acted in a measured manner and never overstepped.Everything along the way, no matter how big or small, will be inherited from Li Chengzhi.

Chang Shi only acts as an agent for government affairs, while military affairs are under the responsibility of Sima.The imperial court sent a well-known figure to Li Chengzhi: Gu Kai.

This is a cruel official who is as famous as Li Daoyuan, and his life can be summed up in eight words: jealous like hatred, cruel and merciless.

However, being famous is only for Li Chengzhi, and now Gu Kai is only slightly famous, and it is still notorious.

Relying on his martial arts skills, he is good at fighting against injustices and showing off his blood and courage. If his brother Gu Ying and Gao Zhao hadn't made friends, he might have been dispatched to the military town long ago.

Just from the identities of these two feudal officials, we can see the intention of the Queen Mother and the court: to check and balance.

Apart from scolding a few idiots, Li Chengzhi didn't know how to comment.

He really wanted to see what kind of expressions the Empress Dowager, Yuan Cheng and others would have on the day when Gao Zhao suddenly raised the flag of rebellion.

It's ironic when you think about it...

Lying in the car gloating, I heard Li Cong report from outside the car: "Lang Jun, please see Yuan Changshi!"

Li Chengzhi asked lazily: "What's the matter?"

"It was reported by a fast-tracking horse who claimed that Huguan County had been snowing for days, and it was clear today. It was because many parts of the north-bound road had been turned into mud soup, so I was afraid that the cart would not be able to move. Therefore, please play Mr. Wang, whether you are in Shangdang Rest for two days, wait for the road to dry out before starting?"

Two days off?

It is estimated that [-]% of Gao Zhao's confidantes sent to question him will catch up with this delay.

Come on, come on, so what if Gao Zhao came to ask in person?
Just don't admit it...

Li Chengzhi wanted to laugh when he thought of Gao Zhao's expression when he heard the news that millions of grains were burned, the oil lake was burned, and tens of thousands of corpses were blown out.

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you think I'm a sick cat?

"Then give the Shangdang a two-day rest, and wait until the weather clears before we go on the road!"

Li Chengzhi made a confession, and then asked in a low voice: "After entering the station, I will wake up a little bit, and Li Feng's urgent report should arrive by now!"

On the third day of junior high school, when he arrived in Biyang County (now Biyang), he received an urgent report from Li Feng, saying that the day of action was set for the night of the first month.Today is the ninth day of the lunar new year, even if there is rain and snow blocking the road, there should be news.

Li Chengzhi is also full of confidence. He believes that this time, Li Feng has won [-]% of the time...

"promise!"

Li Cong responded in a low voice, then turned around and gave Yuan Tianci back his life.Not long after, I heard the shouts of officials giving orders to various places, and the speed of the convoy was much faster.

Since Yuan Tianci sent officials in advance to contact the Shangdang Yafu, about two hours later, when the sky was getting dark, the convoy entered the county without hindrance.Except for Li's family members, dozens of feudal officials and more than a hundred Li's retainers, the rest of them and two thousand Chinese troops all stayed outside the city.

But instead of camping, local officials borrowed houses.And this way, all arrangements are like this.

Because of the sufficient money and food, the people who are staying overnight are happy.Of course, the ceremonies collected along the way were not enough, so Li Chengzhi even posted some.

This kind of behavior is really rare.Naturally, the soldiers and low-level officials were very grateful.And Ru Yuan Tianci and Gu Kai can only sigh: Li Guogong is really rich and powerful!
……

After entering the post station, it is still the same as before, and all entertainments are given to Yuan Tianci.Li Chengzhi washed himself up without haste, and was about to have dinner with his two wives and one concubine when Li Cong came to see him again.

There is another person behind him, who is also dressed as a servant.But with just one glance, Li Chengzhi recognized Li Xiaoxian.

When Yu Chaona County raised troops, Li Xiaoxian was the leader of the team.After pacifying Jingzhou, he went to Woye with Li Feng and Huangfu to set up a business.After Li Chengzhi formed an alliance with Liu Bao, the richest man in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, Li Chengzhi sent him to Xiazhou to build a horse farm so that Xihai could send news to Luoyang via Beizhen.

When Li Chengzhi sent troops to Guanzhong and went northward to Beizhen alone, Li Feng was afraid that he would not have enough manpower, so he specially called Li Xiaoxian to Woye.

It was the town of Woye that he led two dozen retainers to protect Li Chengzhi and took over...

This is the confidant of the confidant!

"Ha ha……"

Li Chengzhi laughed loudly, and got up to give him a bear hug, but Li Xiaoxian knelt down first.After shouting, Mr. Lang lowered his head, the tears in his eyes swirled in circles, and he choked up again.

"It's like this every time. Your good mood is messed up by you?"

Li Chengzhi sighed helplessly, and forced Li Xiaoxian to get up first, "Don't say that I'm still alive and kicking, even if I was stabbed to death, it's also my fault for your bad luck, what have you got to do with me?"

"If it wasn't for...if it wasn't for fourth uncle's insistence on going his own way, why would Mr. Lang suffer today's misfortune?"

Li Chengzhi was stunned for a while, but he didn't know how to answer.

It is true that Li Song should be blamed, and the treatment has already been dealt with, and the prevention has also been taken.But what I didn't expect was that the effect appeared so quickly?

If he hadn't suddenly realized it, and he was so angry that he couldn't bear it, and he was as calm and decisive as Li Xiaoxian, he would never have said such cruel words.

Thinking about coming to Rouran to raid the West Sea, and almost destroying the old nest, whether it is the base camp in Hexi, from Hexi to Liuzhen, or to the spy system in Beijing, most of them have come to recall.

This is not easy to create, Li Song and his father are too self-righteous, and too high-spirited, arrogant...

Looking at the past half a year or so, Li Shixian has changed from his previous ambitions, but kept his mouth shut and kept his promises. You can see that his intestines are probably going to regret it.

From this point of view, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise...

Li Chengzhi laughed loudly, and put him on the back of the case again: "How do you know it's not a blessing if you lose your horse?"

For the sentence just now, Li Xiaoxian had exhausted all his courage, and even regretted saying it.At this time, Li Chengzhi avoided talking about it, and he didn't dare to comment.Instead, he reported in a low voice.

The experience of dictation by the parties is much deeper than that of reading secret letters.Li Xiao first spoke in a straightforward manner, which sounded like nothing special.But when he heard that he brought more than a dozen subordinates into the Xiazhou camp, and set fire to the granary and haystacks in the camp, Li Chengzhi knew how dangerous it was.

If Li Feng accepts as soon as he sees a good deal, he doesn't even need to rush to the camp, he just needs to take advantage of the chaos to rescue Li Xiaoxian.

But the result of victory is not so big: Not only millions of stone grains, but also countless forages were turned into ashes, and even the entire Xiazhou camp was burned.

How many of the ten thousand guards died is not known for the time being, but presumably there are not a few of them.

But that's only second.

Now that Gao Meng is in a state of desperation, he has no husbands, no food, why did he build such a large military camp?
The so-called evils committed by heaven can still be violated, and people who do evils cannot live. They are talking about Gao Zhao and Gao Meng.

Now, let me see how you can bear it?
Just feeding these more than [-] soldiers and horses is a deadly move.What's more, seven oil lakes were blown up, which was equivalent to cutting off Gaozhao's two back roads.

And when the news that there are seven oil lakes in Xiazhou and that tens of thousands of dead bodies were buried outside Jinming City came back to Beijing, what should Gao Zhao do with himself?
Regardless of the former, it's just that there are tens of thousands of dead bodies, even if Gao Zhao and Gao Meng have a hundred mouths, they can't tell clearly.Gao Ying protects his shortcomings, no matter how ignorant the courtiers are, they dare not cover up a little.No matter how it is decided, Gao Meng is also a death penalty.

I'm afraid that Gao Zhao knows that the time is not enough, and even obstructs him in every possible way, so Gao Meng can only do the opposite...

Li Chengzhi smiled happily, and patted Li Xiaoxian's shoulder heavily, almost overflowing with excitement.

"By the way, where is Li Feng?"

"That night he led me to escape to the west. After breaking through the side wall of Lizi Garden and reaching the outside of Lingzhou City, I turned back to the south, bypassed Jinming County along Luoshui River, and arrived at Shangdang after passing through Fenzhou..."

No wonder it took nine days to get the news. It turned out to be hundreds of miles extra.

Lingzhou is the town of Bogulu. Now the governor and governor are both Li Shao, and it is only [-] miles away from Tongwan City.Moreover, there are vast lands along the way, so it is no problem for Li Feng to flee to Lingzhou with more than a thousand old troops.

Li Chengzhi asked again: "Then why are you here to summon again?"

Li Xiaoxian pondered for a long time before replying in a low voice: "I dare you, please stay in front of your lord and obey your orders!"

Li Chengzhi sighed leisurely.

No wonder he knelt down and kowtowed to himself as soon as he entered the door?

This is not because Li Xiaoxian is bold and good at making a claim, it is Li Feng's instruction in all likelihood.Thinking that Li Liang had returned to Hexi, Li Rui had been assassinated and died, and there was only Li Cong, who was young and innocent, listening to him, so he sent Li Xiaoxian here.

In fact, there is no need at all.

Li Chengzhi estimated that, not to mention going straight to Pingzhou, he might not even be able to get out of Bingzhou (Taiyuan) to which the Shangdang belongs.

Just because as soon as you leave Shangdang, you will go to the land of Jin and Yan.And if you go to Pingzhou, no matter how you go around, you can't get around the four states of Ding, Si, Ying, and You.And these states have been in chaos since last winter, and now it is in full swing and the momentum is huge.

Because the imperial court couldn't help for a long time, neither sent troops nor transported food, so even the famous general Cui Yanbo could only retreat to Dingzhou.

If it is a detour, it is not unforgivable.But Li Chengzhi happened to cut Gao Meng's back.Not surprisingly, Gao Zhao had no choice but to rebel, and the rebellion in these prefectures would inevitably set fire to the company's camp, and it would cut off all the main roads to the north.

Li Chengzhi threw himself into the trap when he was out of his mind, and burrowed into Gao Zhao's arms.

He even felt that Shangdang was not very safe.

Shangdang belongs to Bingzhou, and the current governor of Bingzhou is Wang Xian, a die-hard member of the Gao Zhao Party...

"Then stay!"

Li Chengzhi replied with a smile, but before he finished speaking, he heard Li Cong calling outside the door: "Mr. Lang, Yuan Changshi asked to see him, and said that the county uncle of Weiguo is waiting outside the yamen!"

"Who?" Li Chengzhi thought he heard it wrong.

"It's Weiguo county uncle and Bingzhou king Shijun!"

Li Chengzhi stood up abruptly, his expression changed several times.

Just now I was still talking about Wang Xian, but after a few breaths, someone came to the door?

Even if Shangdang belongs to Bingzhou, but the city is more than [-] li away, even if Wang Xian has wings, he can't fly so fast.

I am afraid that I got the Gaozhao emergency report two or three days ago, so I made a special trip here to wait for myself.

Thinking of the burning of food in Xiazhou, Gao Zhao would definitely send his confidantes to chase after him, either to question, to complain, to threaten, or even to lure him.But unexpectedly, it was Wang Xian who came?

This old man is already in his sixties, and he is about to die, so why bother to go into this muddy water?
Li Chengzhi's eyes turned cold: "Li Cong, send someone to tell Yuan Tianci to tell Wang Shijun that I will be there later. Make arrangements quickly and tell your wife to leave the city immediately. Remember, you need to dress up in disguise, and don't show your signs!"

Li Cong hurriedly responded, even his voice was trembling.

Li Xiaoxian who was beside him tightly held the handle of the knife, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, is there something wrong?"

Is this clear that can be explained in one or two sentences?

Li Chengzhi pondered for a moment, then sighed sadly: "Wang Xian, I'm afraid it's going to be reversed!"

Li Xiao was startled in horror, then he made a rough guess after thinking about it for a while.

It should be that Gao Zhao wants to rebel, that is, he is a member of the Gao family. It is not surprising that Wang Xian is rebellious.

Just don't know why.

"Lang Jun, I'm here with more than five hundred songs and several firearms. They are all in the city at this time. Please show me how to deal with it..."

Li Chengzhi was dumbfounded.

Good guy!
How many pieces are there in total in Xiazhou, why don't you bring all the thousand?
Regardless of the rest, from Lingzhou to here for more than a thousand miles, passing through several states and dozens of counties, how did Li Xiaoxian make these 500 people invisible?
