Three hundred warriors, with bows slung across their bodies, swords on their waists, javelin pouches on their backs, majestic war horses under their crotches, and uniform leather armor, but there were only three hundred of them. Warriors from the Tuoba tribe gathered on both sides of the road.
Just like tens of millions of wolves, even the bravest lion can only clench its tail and run away in front of a huge pack of tens of millions of wolves. It only takes a moment of hesitation to be torn into pieces by them.
.
However, the octagonal tent guarded by three hundred warriors marched towards the east city of Xiazhou so leisurely. The wolf-headed banner on the carriage was fluttering in the wind. The three hundred warriors did not look sideways and acted as if no one was watching.
All the generals taught the Five Prefectures to be the Envoys of Difficult Jiedu. This was a title awarded to the Li family of Xiazhou during the Tang Dynasty. Through the Jin, Han, Zhou, Song and other dynasties, the co-leaders of the eight Dangxiang clans had been awarded this title by these Central Plains courts.
Many official positions, Grand Master, Grand Tutor, Grand Lieutenant, Zhongshu Ling, King of Xiping... all the official positions are just in sight. Only these generals teach the Five Prefectures' Dingnan Army Jiedushi, which is real.
The military power is in control and the power is monopolized.
Li Yi held this official position, and his younger brother Li Yiyin held it. Li Yiyin passed it on to his son Li Guangrui. Now, it is clearly written that Li Guangcen is Li Guangcen, Li Yi's son. If Li Yiyin had not usurped the power and forced the Central Plains court to recognize
Given his identity, this seat should have belonged to Li Guangcen. Now that Li Guangcen is here and has raised this flag in a grand manner, who dares to say that he is not worthy of this identity?
Decades are not that far away. Everyone in the Tuoba tribe knows who Li Guangcen is. The elders are even familiar with him. Ever since the news that Li Guangcen is still alive and has returned to the northwest grasslands has quietly spread, his name
Everyone knows it, especially Li Guangrui's enemies all over the world, fighting against the Zhefan, Yangfan, Tubo, Uighur, and even the Yeli within the Dangxiang.
When they were extremely tired, many nobles and leaders secretly kept this taboo name on their lips. However, everyone spread this name in private, and no one dared to talk about this taboo in public.
Now, this name appeared in front of them grandly and openly. This appearance was no less than the first thunder when spring returned to the earth after the cold winter. Everyone looked at the car of the king with some awe.
As we walked forward slowly, there was actually one person who dared to speak loudly, let alone approach him.
The cart slowly drove to the foot of Xiazhou City and stopped outside the wide moat. Mu En said urgently: "Quickly, lower the suspension bridge and open the city gate."
Tuoba Cangmu wanted to remind them that if the tribesmen followed Li Guangcen and swarmed into the city, it would definitely cause chaos, but he mumbled and did not say anything. Mu En put down the suspension bridge and went to open the city gate, while Mu Kui rushed
He went to arrange the Mo Dao formation on both sides of the city gate, while Ai Yihai commanded his bandit gang to cock arrows and prepare for an imminent attack.
The suspension bridge was lowered with a rumble, and the city gate was opened with a rumble. The three hundred warriors broke away, and the giant car entered the city with a sense of arrogance. Then three hundred guards filed in, and the suspension bridge was raised again. Outside the city
The warriors of the Tuoba clan just stood there and watched, no one dared to step beyond the thunder pool.
The city gate rumblingly closed again. The moment the city gate closed, Zhang Pu, who had always been calm and composed, but actually had always tightened his body, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that the sweat had soaked several layers of clothes on his back.
.
It is difficult to get Xiazhou, but it is even more difficult to get the leaders and nobles of the Tuoba tribe to surrender. Perhaps there is only one person in the world who can do it, and he is Li Guangcen. Although Li Guangcen is an old man who is declining day by day,
But one person can do more than a thousand troops
Wanma. Li Guangcen is Yang Hao's adoptive father. Yang Hao cannot put his adoptive father in danger. However, whether it is for Yang Hao's great cause or to fulfill Li Guangcen's wish, he must step into Xiazhou City at some point.
Only he can accomplish tasks that are impossible for anyone else.
Therefore, Yang Hao handed over this important task to his most intelligent general, Zhang Pu, who was both civil and military and resourceful. Zhang Pu was also the initiator of the surprise attack on Xiazhou across the desert. Although this bold plan was repeatedly considered by Yang Hao and was given
Perfect, but it was Zhang Pu’s bold idea after all. If it weren’t for someone as important as guarding Li Guangcen,
Yang Hao must leave him in Yinzhou to take charge of the overall situation, or let him command the army that surprises Xiazhou. However, in Yang Hao's mind, Li Guangcen's safety is more important than anything else, so he made a big show of it.
Even his closest subordinates thought that when Li Guangcen was being escorted to Yinzhou, he was quietly picked up by Zhang Pu.
This car, carefully built by the skilled craftsmen of Jisitang, rides smoothly. No matter how bumpy the road is, it can ride on flat ground. Sitting in it is as comfortable as sleeping in a real house. Moreover, the felt tents and large curtains on the car are all
It can be assembled and disassembled,
There is no need to install it on it at ordinary times, it can hide people's eyes and ears. Zhang Pu is a general in the Li family's army. He understands their troop deployment and is familiar with their internal situation. There is no one more suitable than him to protect Li Guangrui, avoid the fortress, and quietly go west.
With such an important task, Zhang Pu naturally felt like facing an abyss, walking on thin ice, walking cautiously and cautiously. Fortunately, everything seemed to be developing according to their rehearsed plan. As expected, Li Guangrui personally took action and led an army to attack Yinzhou. Xiazhou got his wish.
After they got it, the defenders at each pass learned that Xiazhou had been lost, and they abandoned the passes and fled to other states. Zhang Pu finally brought Li Guangcen safely to Xiazhou without any danger.
As soon as he arrived at Xiazhou, the stubborn old man refused to obey his command. Li Guangcen insisted on setting up the ceremonial guard of Jiedushi. He wanted to step into Xiazhou City dignifiedly and step into the palace that his father was supposed to leave.
In his territory, Zhang Pu's original elaborate arrangements were forced to give up, and there was such a thrilling entrance ceremony.
Returning to Xiazhou City, which he had left when he was a boy, Li Guangcen became extremely excited. His back straightened up, his eyes shone, and his already haggard face flushed with excitement.
Enter Tuoba Cangmu, Tuoba Haofeng, Mu En, Mukui and others.
When he came to see him, Li Guangcen only answered a few questions in a hurry, and then ordered him to drive off immediately. At the same time, he rolled up the curtain in front, greedily looking at the scenery, people, and scenery of Yinzhou City... Unknowingly, his
Both dry old eyes are filled with tears...
"I am Li Guangcen, the master of Xiazhou, the master of the five Dingnan states, the master of the eight Dangxiang clans, and the king of the northwest grassland. After being away from my hometown for forty-two years, I am back."
Li Guangcen's voice was old and heroic, his face was red, and he was full of energy. His voice echoed in the hall, and there was no trace of his body being drained by strong alcohol. His majestic and stern eyes made the hall...
All the Li family members, Tuoba family members, and nobles lowered their heads involuntarily, and no one dared to look at him.
"Sukha, Wuluoshu, Geluoluo..., the seven Dangxiang clans have all joined me. Yinzhou and Xiazhou are already under the control of my son Yang Hao. How do you choose?"
Li Guangcen stood up, opened his arms, and said loudly: "Li family, Tuoba family, my closest clansmen, relatives with the same ancestor as me, you have chosen to be my friends, my clansmen, my relatives, and me."
Sharing adversity and wealth, or do you want to be my enemy, Li Guangcen?"
His stern gaze swept across the entire hall, his voice was stern, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Now, I am standing in front of you, and you can make the final choice on behalf of your tribe! Choose those who are loyal to Li Guangrui.
, I won’t hurt you now, you can
Get out of the city, take your people with you, and escape as far away as possible. I will not allow my enemies to exist in my territory. Choose those who are loyal to me, and we will share weal and woe, my grassland, my mountains, my lakes.
The rivers, my cattle, sheep and horses will all be shared with you.
Okay, leaders, no matter whether I know you or your father and brother, now is the time for you to make a new decision. Those who are loyal to me, stand in front of me and be loyal to me, and abandon me.
People, please leave this place immediately, mount your horse, stay away from my back, be careful, when I turn around again, you must be prepared to meet my thunderous wrath!"
When the leaders and nobles in the hall began to kneel down in front of Li Guangcen and swear allegiance to him after a period of silence, the two women listening in the small hall next door breathed a sigh of relief. They were a pair of sisters.
Anyone who sees them can immediately notice that these pretty and charming women are sisters.
The younger one smiled playfully at the other woman: "Sister, can you rest assured now? Mr. Li Guangcen is the real master of our grassland after all, and people support him. In addition, he has controlled Xiazhou and all the leaders.
Nobles must bow to him. The root of our Dangxiang people is the Dangxiang Eighth Clan, and most of the leaders of the Dangxiang Eighth Clan have already served
Loyal to Lord Li Guangcen, two of the five states are now in the hands of Lord Li Guangcen. You no longer have to worry about Lord Tuoba Haofeng. Li Guangrui will never be able to come back to settle accounts with him. He has made great contributions to Lord Li Guangcen.
, will definitely be reused. Congratulations, my sister has gone through many hardships and finally stayed with her sweetheart, loving her for a lifetime."
There was a smile on Nabu'il's eyebrows. When she heard her sister's teasing, Nabu'il wrinkled her nose cutely and said softly: "What's more, Mr. Li Guangcen's adopted son is Taiwei Yang. This country has
Sooner or later, everything belongs to Captain Yang. What belongs to him, doesn’t it belong to you? It’s my sister who should congratulate you for marrying such a great hero.”
