Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 683: Far away, slow transmission, many mistakes

After about a cup of tea, the three Li Xiong brothers bid farewell to the old Taoist priest Fan Changsheng, and quickly retreated with a group of soldiers in front of many people watching.

Li Xiong, Li Shi, and Li Yun got on their horses, and the soldiers followed quickly.

"What does the old Taoist mean?" Li Yun suddenly asked while riding his horse, because their horses were not riding fast, so the voice was not loud, "I want to send one of his disciples to Youzhou, This Youzhou is not close to Yizhou, and it is too troublesome to cross half of China."

"You have to know that we really need the help of that Taoist priest now," Li Shi shook his head, said something to Li Yun first, and then turned to Li Xiong and asked, "But, we have to go all the way to Youzhou. , what is the plan? We know more or less the news about Youzhou. It is under the governance of Wang Jun. I heard that this man controls Xianbei, dominates the border and the northeast, and is far superior to us in terms of strength. "

Li Xiong also shook his head, and then said: "I have no way of knowing what the Taoist priest meant, but I do know a little bit about his destination."

"Oh?" Li Shi couldn't help but ask, "I wonder where the destination is?"

"Daijun." Li Xiong narrowed his eyes, "The Taoist priest didn't explain it specifically, but he mentioned it twice in his words, and I wrote it down."

"Daijun?" Li Shi frowned, "I know that a county below Youzhou has recently changed its governor. It seems that it sent troops to help Wang Jun attack Xianbei."

"Your information is not accurate enough," Li Xiong shook his head, "But it's not my fault, brother, Youzhou is really far away from us, and before we rebelled against the tyranny of the imperial court, we couldn't even survive. There are so many ways to think about it, of course I don’t pay attention.”

"Then what is the actual situation?" Li Yun interjected and asked, "I heard that the reason why Daijun is famous is because the prefect of Daijun in the letter is a literary man who is somewhat famous. It seems that he is doing it to make money. He was a very shameless person who plundered the big local businesses and forced them to make paper or something."

"Is there such a thing?" Li Shi was full of surprise, "I heard that the man is called Chen Zhi, and he has a good reputation. He seems to have written some articles. Where did you get the news? To make paper, even if we don’t dare to do it, after we conquered Chengdu, even though the aristocratic families of that family did not surrender, they could only be left in the cold without further stimulation.”

"Where did you get the news?" Li Xiong couldn't laugh or cry, "The situation in that generation county was not what you said. The prefect Chen Zhi was a famous scholar in the Central Plains, and he was not a gang king. Jun attacked Xianbei, but was attacked by Xianbei and resisted independently. At the same time, there was a rebel army from the imperial court who betrayed Wang Jun and attacked Daijun. It is said that 10,000+ people before and after failed to capture Daijun. From this, It’s amazing what he can do.”

In fact, after thinking about it for a moment, Li Xiong knew the reason. His elder brother and the brothers in this clan were now in charge of the army, and they had no access to intelligence at all, so they could only tell some rumors from hearsay.

"Oh? So, Chen Zhi has capable men under him who know how to fight." Li Shi muttered, and then said: "In that case, we have to understand a little bit about the situation in Dai County. Yes, that Taoist priest is important after all, and his influence among the people of Shu is probably no weaker than that of the imperial court. It is a good thing that he has made a request now."

"Yes," Li Xiong nodded, "The Taoist priest has a clear view of the current situation of our Li family, but he did not say that he wanted to clear up the relationship, but made a request. This is a good sign. We are not afraid that he will ask for it, but we are afraid that he will ask for it. He wants nothing.”

"Of course that Taoist priest wanted something," Li Shiyi pointed out, "Since the Five Pecks of Rice Sect was dispersed, it has been spread in various places. Only the Shu region has grown the fastest, but the previous governor of Yizhou But those who don’t like these things very much want to suppress them..."

"It's good that you know these words." Li Xiong waved his hand on the horse to stop his brother's words, and then pointed around, "Many parts of the sect can be found everywhere."

Li Shi nodded, indicating that he understood. He knew very well that the people at the foot of the mountain looked ordinary, but in fact most of them were believers. Otherwise, ordinary people, no matter how curious they were, would retreat when they saw soldiers and brave men. Occasionally, they would have the courage to do so. The big ones gathered here, but there were only a few of them, and they didn't dare to stay for a long time. How could there be such a large group?
In fact, it is on the alert.

Li Yun also understood at this time and couldn't help but sneer: "It turns out that I have something to ask for, so why pretend to be so noble?"

Li Xiong frowned and reprimanded: "The Taoist priest is also a person with real talents and practical learning. He is knowledgeable and talented. Even if he goes to the court to be the prime minister, he is capable of handling divine weapons and regulating yin and yang. If you can invite him out of the mountain, I don't know how many The good thing is, besides, the former governor certainly wanted to suppress it, but it was limited to this, no matter how much he did, he would not dare to do anything more!"

Li Yun couldn't help but lower his head as he listened.Looking at his appearance, Li Xiong frowned, and then said: "Looking at your attitude, you still don't understand the situation clearly. Go back and think about it for a few days!" Then, he said to Li Shi: " Brother, this escort may seem insignificant, but in fact it is related to the safety of the Li family. I cannot trust others. And because of our relationship with the imperial court, we cannot send too many people. We can only send dozens of people at most. No matter how many more people are sent, it will cause trouble among the officers and soldiers. Be careful, if you become a target, the number of people is small, so there must be capable people in charge, so I hope you can lead the team in person and escort that Henry Zhang."

Li Shi was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'm here, I won't let that Henry Zhang make any mistakes, and I will definitely send him to Daijun intact."

"Brother, of course I won't worry about anything happening to Henry Zhang," Li Xiong suddenly lowered his voice as he spoke, "but I hope that after arriving in Daijun, you can get in touch with Chen Zhi and Wang Jun behind him. !”

Li Shi was taken aback again: "What do you mean?"

"In the past, Youzhou was far away from us, and it couldn't affect Shu, so I didn't pay attention." Li Xiong's expression became serious, "But in the future, the imperial court will not let us go, and we have no way out. Unless the King of Guanghan loses power and other clans no longer pursue the death of the son of Guanghan, otherwise we can only fight against the court, and at this time, it is undoubtedly the most important to have a few more helpers."

Li Shi asked: "Do you think this Wang Jun can be a helper?"

"At least it won't be an enemy," Li Xiong sneered, "I have never met Wang Junsu, but I know that a person like him, with such a status, will not let him go easily, but the Han family court will not allow a The minister, in order to rule such a large area of ​​land in the frontier, he must take action. At that time, he will have a conflict with the court. This conflict will involve the strength of the Han family and weaken the strength of the Han family. This is a process of mutual connection. will benefit from this.”

"Understood, I will try to get in touch with Wang Jun." Li Shi nodded.

"It's not just Wang Jun, there is Bingzhou next to Youzhou, and the Huns who occupy Bingzhou," Li Xiong threw out another name, "They can also try to contact them, and compared to Youzhou, Bingzhou is obviously closer to us! Moreover, I heard that there is no peace in the south of the Yangtze River, and many people rebel against the Han court."

"We are beyond our reach over there," Li Shi shook his head, "and I am escorting Henry Zhang to the North District, and the distance from Jiangnan will be getting farther and farther."

Li Xiong nodded and said: "I know this, so the Taoist Master's attitude is more important, because I learned from the Taoist Master that after the collapse of the Wu Dou Mi Zheng branch, branches scattered in various places were almost all over the world. There is a branch in the south of the Yangtze River. Its family name is Li, which originated from Li Kuan. Li Tuo, Li Hong and others preached it. They used talisman water to treat diseases and had a great influence among the people. If they can get help from Taoist priests, they will be able to fight with Let’s get in touch with the Li family! At that time, the north and the south will respond to each other, and the court will be unable to take care of everything, and the disaster in Shu will be solved.”

Li Shi listened and nodded silently.

………………

While the brothers of the Li family were talking about the orthodoxy of another Li family, far away in Youzhou, at the junction of Dai County and Fanyang County, two Taoists had just met, one of them was young and had a sad face.

"Brother, I came here this time to report to you that Master and Uncle were preaching in Yangzhou, but they were arrested by Wang Dun in public...in public..."

Another person waved his hand and said, "Oh, you don't need to say anything, I already know."

The moonlight shone on his face, revealing a face.

It was Li Bu Ni.
