Da Wei Chun

Chapter 602 Withdraw from Six Towns
There is a famous saying in later generations called "the ass determines the head", which is especially appropriate during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

All scholars, no matter they are born in aristocratic families, aristocratic families, humble families, or common people, all take honoring their ancestors and honoring their ancestors as their lifelong mission.

This is human nature, nothing to be generous.This is the same reason that everyone in the later generations wants to make a lot of money and live a good life.

But relying on having read a few books and knowing a few words, it is too much to deceive the working people as stepping stones and become victims of codification.

The point is that even if you succeed, when you pick the fruits of victory, you have nothing to do with the working people.On the contrary, they squeezed and exploited as much as possible, like treating animals, wishing to squeeze the oil out of their bones.

There is no need to cite too many examples, just look at India before World War II.That's why Li Chengzhi hated this kind of freak from the bottom of his heart, although he is definitely one of them at this stage.

But Li Chengzhi never thought of using the clan to achieve any purpose, otherwise he would have become one with the clan in Guanzhong and the Shandong gentry by relying on Yuan Ke's favor.

Including now, there are also opportunities: Li Chengzhi only needs to take advantage of the desperation of the court, collude with the Guanzhong clan, and secretly resort to tricks.

But then what?

With Li Chengzhi's temperament of not being able to rub half a grain of sand in his eyes, he will not end up like Yang Er, but he will definitely make a fuss.

So, simply cut it clean from the beginning.

This is also why Li Chengzhi guards against powerful families like he guards against thieves...

Li Chengzhi showed a long-lost sneer: "There are still fewer kills!"

Li Song was secretly shocked, but also extremely puzzled: Mr. Lang looks strict, but he is gentle and respectful.But why is Dudu so harsh on the family?
Just like in Xihai at this time, if Li Chengzhi hadn't strictly ordered Fan Junwang not to lead the army or be the head of government affairs, even if there were occasional chaos, it would never be like a prairie fire.

Furthermore, if there are no scholars, how can we be herdsmen and govern the world?
"It's not that only aristocratic families produce scholars, and I don't want to beat them all to death!"

Li Chengzhi said calmly, "I just want to let the world know that kings, generals, and ministers, would you rather have a kind? There is no such thing as a person. If you bully too much, you will risk your life, and you will die... "

Li Song's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong.

If you are making waves and making money in troubled waters, this might be a good excuse to confuse people.Just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of Qin Dynasty, with this sentence, the death knell of the Great Qin Empire was sounded.

But if he seized the world, if Lang Jun dared to speak so nonsense, I am afraid that there will be no more peaceful days.

"What are you afraid of? Do you think everyone has the guts to rebel and become an emperor? All the poor people want nothing more than food to feed their stomachs and clothing to cover their bodies. As long as the world is stable and people live and work in peace and contentment, who would want to raise their heads and rebel?"

Li Chengzhi waved his hands indifferently, "Don't worry, there will be no chaos!"

Li Song only promised, but he always felt uneasy.

Today is still the era when powerful families rule the roost and aristocratic families rule the roost.Regardless of the north and the south, even the royal family has to rely on the gentry to stabilize the world. Do you have to do the opposite?

Regardless of the rest, if the day is really waiting for the heroes to compete and plot the world, wouldn't the Li family become the public enemy of the world?
Even if Lang Jun is compassionate and compassionate, and he doesn't want the people to be bullied by the powerful and powerful, he should be vain and take it easy.Why did you have to show your chariot and horses so early and draw a clear line?
Unable to guess what Li Chengzhi was thinking, Li Song didn't dare to say too much.

After Li Cong brought the food and wine, Li Chengzhi summoned Li Xiaoxian and Li Xiaoyan.Before he knew it, Li Song got very drunk, even cried in a daze, and said a lot of what was in his heart.

Li Chengzhi naturally knew that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart, and he also knew that Li Song had no two intentions. Although he had made mistakes, they all upheld his original intentions and considered him wholeheartedly for Li and his lord.

Otherwise, if Li Song caused such a catastrophe, how could Li Chengzhi just remove him from military power?

But Li Chengzhi knows better that as a qualified ruler, he must not only talk about closeness, but only his heart.

There are too many examples of good intentions doing bad things.

Otherwise, why would he be killed by Li Song so close?
……

Although the rain was not heavy, it fell for a full day and night, and it didn't stop until noon on the second day.Li Chengzhi simply let Li Xiaoyan rest for half a day.

In the middle of the night, it was sunny.Still like yesterday, cooking in the third shift in the back camp and feeding the horses in the fifth shift.When the sky was bright, they raised their troops and pulled out their camps.

Taking advantage of this day and a half resting at the racecourse, Li Chengzhi asked Li Xiaoxian and Li Xiaoyan to reorganize the households and reorganize the camp.

Every ten households is a team, and two soldiers are sent to manage it. The ten teams form a battalion, and then one ten soldiers are sent for a total of thirty troops.

This is to facilitate supervision and custody to prevent civilian households from escaping, and to facilitate communication and urge marching.

After all, there are so many horses and horses, and the convoy stretches for more than ten miles.If there is a change, and only rely on fast horses to send messages, it will take at least an hour to come and go.Therefore, the fastest way to communicate is to use the whistle.

In this way, the marching speed was much faster, and by the time of sunset, they had already arrived at Zhangye County, which was nearly a hundred miles away.

Zhangye prefecture governs three counties with only two thousand households. They were taken back to Zhenyi a few days ago, so they must have arrived early.

Now there are only [-] troops stationed in the city. One is to transfer people, food and grass, and the other is to guard against surprise attacks in Tuyuhun or Dunhuang Town.

At the foot of the city, Li Chengzhi sighed leisurely when he saw the two figures standing respectfully outside the city gate.

Since Li Song could guess that no one would dare to detain the messenger who was looking for his whereabouts except him, the gentleman, Li Shi could guess it too.

Li Shi guessed it, and Li Shiliang naturally knew it too.

Standing at the door was Li Shi and Li Shiliang's nephew Ren Guang.

Li Shiliang fled to the West Sea by feigning death, and only his wife and eldest son Li Chengxian knew the details, so naturally it was impossible to bring a nephew here.

This Renguang is just a coincidence, a coincidence.

The Ren family has been the prefect of Longxi County since the Qin and Han Dynasties, although most of their children are county officials and county assistants, they dare not be called aristocratic clans anymore, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, at least they are still powerful.

Cui Zuzhi, the prefect of Longxi, rebelled, and the Ren family became a rebel. In the end, Li Chengzhi took the blame, and all the clansmen and children were taken captive to Hexi.

Li Shiliang has just arrived and has no one to use, so he can only rely on nepotism, such as Ren Guang.

Naturally, Li Chengzhi didn't recognize him, but Li Song said it on purpose the night before, so he left some impressions.At this time, let Ren Guang report his family name, he agreed after a moment of thought.

"Brother Wuhui, be polite!"

As Li Shiliang's confidant, Ren Guang naturally knew who Li Chengzhi was.Hearing Li Chengzhi call him by his name, Ren Guang was flattered and bowed again and again.

Li Chengzhi nodded slightly, then shifted his gaze to Li Shi, his face sank suddenly: "Are you doing nothing?"

Li Shi was not afraid at all, he kowtowed three times respectfully, and then got up with red eyes: "Lang Jun is suffering!"

One year apart, things have changed.Compared with the vigor and vigor of the dragon and the tiger in Daguanzhong, Li Shicang was much sadder, as if he was several years older.

Li Chengzhi felt emotional in his heart, and he didn't want to reprimand him in front of everyone, so he just snorted coldly and went straight into the city.

Li Xiaoyan sent a fast horse to send a message in advance, so the city has already made preparations.Not only did the county government offices be cleaned spotlessly for Li Chengzhi to live in temporarily.It also prepared housing and meals for thousands of households.

As soon as he entered the Yamen, Li Chengzhi summoned Li Cong: "Send people to Zhenyi and Xihai to send a message: all ministries should focus on military affairs and civil affairs, and each should perform its own duties. Don't greet me halfway."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shi blinked his eyes: "My servant guessed that Huangfu should be halfway there, at most midnight..."

Guess?
The two of you are in the town of Zhenyiguan, he is the master, and you are the deputy.If it wasn't for Huangfu's consent, how dare you ignore military affairs and come to Zhangye?
These two thieves clearly negotiated...

Li Chengzhi secretly slandered, and told Li Xiaoyan: "Huangfu is here, let him come to see me immediately!"

In the winter of the previous year, Li Song led his army eastward, and Li Chengzhi ordered Huangfu to return to Hexi and sit in Xihai.Now he is the most powerful general under Li Liang.

In addition, Huangfu is also in charge of the information and post system from Xihai to Six Towns and the capital.

So Li Chengzhi knew very well that Huangfu was not like Li Song and Li Shi, he just came here specially to welcome him, nine out of ten he came to report the military situation.

And he really wanted to know what happened to Gao Zhao today.

With Ren Guang around, he didn't want to be too close to Li Shi, so he just invited the two of them to the hall for questioning.

He didn't prepare any more dinners, and he didn't even have a glass of wine. Instead, he scolded Li Shi.

Seeing that Li Chengzhi scolded more fiercely, Li Shi's grin became wider, and the roots of his teeth came out, Ren Guang was at a loss.

He has assisted Li Shiliang for nearly a year, and he knows a little about the leaders of Li's clan.I know that although Li Shi is Li Chengzhi's confidant, he is not as good as Li Liang, Li Feng, Li Rui and Li Cong brothers.

What's more, Li Shi was ignorant, illiterate, and mediocre, so it was embarrassing to use it.I haven't seen him for a long time, so Li Chengzhi's reprimand should not be because of panic and restlessness.

Why did Li Shi feel happier the more he was scolded?
How could he know that Li Chengzhi's way of governing his subordinates was different from that of ordinary people, the more trusted he was, the less sympathetic he would be.

Otherwise, Li Song wouldn't have seen Li Chengzhi's kindness and Yan Yuese, and when he didn't ask him about his guilt at all, he would have been so frightened that he would break out in a cold sweat.

After training for a while, Li Chengzhi drove Li Shi away, and politely sent Ren Guang out of the yamen hall.

"Brother Ren and I hit it off right away, and we should have had a good time drinking and chatting. But we are busy with military affairs, so we can only neglect it. When we return to Zhenyi, it will not be too late for you and me to reminisce about the past..."

Ren Guanglian said he didn't dare.

Although Li Chengzhi was polite, his words and deeds all showed a sense of alienation.It wasn't until this moment that Ren Guang came back to understand why Li Shi liked being scolded so much.

Instead he breathed a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, shallow words are deep, and gentlemen are abstained.If Li Chengzhi had been very affectionate to him as soon as we met for the first time, Ren Guang would not be used to it...

As soon as the two left, Huangfu Rang arrived.

Counting the time, it is not surprising.

Even Li Shiliang, who was far away in the West Sea, had heard the news, and Huangfu guarded Zhenyi, so he was even closer.

After all, it was a foreign surname. Compared with Li Song and Li Shi, Huangfu Rang was much more reserved.Say hello, make a bow, and make a serious gesture, which is full of etiquette.

Li Chengzhi was a little impatient, and asked solemnly: "How is Gao Zhao now?"

"I am giving Jin Ming a restful time to work, waiting for the imperial army! The imperial court enlisted a large army of [-], and worshiped Xi Kangsheng as its commander. But for some reason, after the army crossed the river (Yellow River), Xi Kangsheng divided his troops into two groups. From the stone, there is no further progress, it has been nearly half a month..."

Why else?

Don't look at the so-called [-], Xi Kangsheng can have an army of [-] in his hands.In addition, Gaozhao had fire oil to rely on, and the imperial court knew that its troops were insufficient and there was no certainty of victory. It needed to call in troops and horses from Guanzhong, Hedong and other counties to requisition food and grass, so it could only stand still for the time being.

Naturally, Gao Zhao also knew that the imperial court was at a time when the outsiders were strong but the middle ones were at the center, so it all depended on whether he had the courage to act first.

Li Chengzhi is at least [-]% sure that as long as Gao Zhao dares to take this step, he will be able to seize the opportunity.After that, there are seventy-eight chances of being able to suppress the court to fight...

He pondered for a while, and then asked: "How about Si, Heng, Ding, Ying and other states?"

"About a month ago, Dingzhou City was breached by monks and bandits. Cui Yanbo, the governor of Dingzhou, fled in panic. Later, the imperial court urgently ordered him to be the deputy commander, and ordered him to go to Lishi to lead the army to help Xi Kangsheng fight against the rebellion... ..."

Haha... Li Chengzhi was immediately happy.

Look, even a world-renowned general is helpless if he has no soldiers in his hands.

This further verifies Li Chengzhi's previous conjecture: the monk chaos in several states was all written by Gao Zhao.Otherwise, why didn't they attack sooner or later, just when the Gao family raised troops, they broke through Dingzhou City?
In this way, everything from the east of Bogulu to the north of Taihang Mountain has fallen into Gao's hands.

Um, right?

To the north of Xia, Shuo, Heng, Yan and other prefectures is Beizhen. If you only count the number, the six towns have nearly [-]% of the soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty.Isn't Gao Zhao afraid of Yuan Yi and Xi Kangsheng's attacking back and forth, so he made dumplings for him?

He frowned fiercely: "How about Six Towns, is there any news from Li Feng?"

Huangfu let him think for a while: "Li Feng only mentioned one sentence, only eight words: the river is clear and the sea is calm, the wind and the sea are calm!"

Bullshit!

Don't even look at how far Yuan Yi has raided the six towns when Gao Zhao and Rou Ran are facing each other?

If it weren't for the fear of chaos in the six towns, how could the imperial court tear down the east wall to make up for the west, and forcibly exploited Heng, Si and other prefectures in order to save the six towns?

It is even more impossible to stir up civil unrest, and give Gao Zhao an opportunity to make these states like a spark of fire. In just half a year, hundreds of thousands of hungry people rebelled.

Now these prefectures have been captured by Seng Ni, no different from falling into the hands of Gao Zhao, and the food roads have been cut off, the imperial court can't provide relief, so it should be the turn of the people of the six towns to make trouble.

Otherwise, why did Gao Zhao go out of his way to make such a big game?

The reason why there is still no chaos is that Gao Zhao wanted to fight with all his heart and wanted to compete with Xi Kangsheng first. He was afraid of distracting his energy, and even more afraid of disturbing the rear, so he slowed down.

Or he was holding back his big move, ready to deal a fatal blow to the court.

Just imagine, when Xi Kangsheng and Gao Zhao were fighting fiercely, and then suddenly heard of the chaos in Beizhen, how would the Queen Mother and the court react?
I'm afraid that "the sky is falling" is not enough to describe it.

But no matter what the reason, it is estimated that it will be soon.

Li Chengzhi frowned: "Notify Li Feng quickly, and withdraw from the six towns as soon as possible, as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late..."
