Da Wei Chun

Chapter 722 Submission
"Thump, thump, thump, thump..."

The sound of hard-soled leather boots stepping on the bluestone steps was very crisp, and the town army who was holding up a hoe to smash the city gate to pieces subconsciously stopped and raised his head again.

Six soldiers descended from the city wall, and the leader was five big and three thick, with beards all over their faces, and they looked like mighty generals at first glance.Afterwards, five big men followed, also like the gangsters, without armor or saber, just walking towards the door with empty hands and without squinting.

This must be the enemy general, but the town army who demolished the city gate had a difficult problem: should they throw away the hoe and chop it with a knife, or just pick it up and knock it up?

While hesitating, a loud roar came from behind: "Mo Dong..."

This face seemed to have been dug out of his face, how could he admit his mistake?
Xi Kangsheng's eyes turned red all at once, and the upper and lower rows of teeth snapped together, making a toothache sound.

After recognizing the visitor, Xing Luan looked at Xi Kangsheng thoughtfully.

It may not be without cause.

When there were rumors that Daxi had joined Li Chengzhi earlier, Xing Luan actually believed it.But it did not affect his friendship with Xi Kangsheng and Xi Kangsheng's loyalty to Yuan Wei.

Look at the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms period, and then look at the Cui family, Lu family, Zheng family, and Wang family in the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Which one is not a double bet?
For example, the late famous official Wang Su, Pei Zhi who is still alive, Fu Shuyan who is now the leader of the army, and him Xing Luan, which one is not an important official in the Yuan Wei Dynasty?
But this does not prevent their brothers or nephews from still being officials in Nanliang.

It's just a means for the family to continue in troubled times. Although each is their own master, who doesn't devote themselves to their lives?

But now, the father and son are their own masters, what happened when they reunited?
If it were me, if I didn't die in battle, I would die in embarrassment...

Xing Luan sighed, waved his hands back, and the huge army retreated a few steps in unison.

When he went down to the city, Daxi could still hold back his tears, but seeing Xi Kangsheng's silver hair, who seemed to have aged by more than ten years in just three or four years, the tears couldn't be held back anymore, and they fell down in a flutter.

After more than ten steps away, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, walked up to Xi Kangsheng's horse on his knees, and slammed his head down heavily.

"uncle……"

With a cry of grief, Xi Kangsheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and the anger in his heart was like waves crashing on the shore, each wave was stronger than the other.

He didn't want to die vigorously, but only wanted to be able to fight heartily, which can be regarded as repaying Xiaowen's kindness of rebuilding, and fulfilling the righteousness of Xuanwu's monarch and ministers.

But Li Chengzhi didn't want him to be happy, otherwise why did he deliberately send Daxi to show off?
Could it be that he wanted the youngest son to witness his death at the hands of whom, so as to avenge him, and also hold Li Chengzhi in his heart?

Or do you want Daxi to personally order to behead his biological father?
After much deliberation, Xi Kangsheng now only has one way to wipe his neck?
Still fighting?

What a treacherous and cunning dog thief...

"Get up..."

Xi Kangsheng roared angrily, "The old man thinks he treats him kindly, why did Li Chengzhi harm me like this?"

Da Xi knocked a few times, and knocked a hole in the ground, "It's not the Duke's intention, but the child is begging the Duke, just to see his father for the last time..."

Fuck, if you really come to see me for the last time, when will you not be able to see you, why do you have to wait for Yuan Yao to escape, when the old man leads a group of wounded soldiers across the river and there is no way out, then you will show up?

The desire to persuade you to surrender is obvious, do you think the old man is an idiot?
"Get off... Grandpa told you to get off..."

Xi Kangsheng slapped the whip and pulled it down, and a blood groove was drawn on Daxi's face immediately.But he still knelt straight and didn't even hum.

The more he was like this, the more annoyed Xi Kangsheng became. He hated Daxi for being stupid, and even more for being soft-hearted.

If not, would there still be a scene of father and son fighting each other today?

Furious, Xi Kangsheng jumped off his horse again and kicked Daxi on the shoulder.

Daxi was stunned, and instantly elated.

He was also planning to falsely claim that there was a letter written by Li Chengzhi on his behalf, so as to get closer to his father, and then wait for the opportunity to strike.But he didn't want to just take a whip against the wind and get off the horse himself from his father?

"uncle……"

While howling, Daxi dodged Xi Kangsheng's kick, then threw himself on the ground, tightly hugging his legs.

Xi Kangsheng twitched but didn't twitch, subconsciously raised the whip again, and whipped it down.

At this moment, Da Xi violently pulled Xi Kangsheng's legs: "What are you waiting for?"

Before the roar came down, Xi Kangsheng felt his world spinning and fell heavily backwards.A few more figures flashed in front of his eyes, and several of Daxi's followers jumped on him.

"It's reversed... It's reversed..."

He roared angrily and wanted to draw the knife, but no one held his hand.Just as he was about to lift his foot, another big man piled up on Daxi's body.

Adding Daxi, there are four big arms and round waists, and a strong man with Kong Wu is pressing on him.The other two still prepared ropes, trying to tie his hands and feet.

Xing Luan was stunned, Xi Ding'an was stunned, and Xi Kangsheng's personal guards were also stunned.

The coach was brought down by him, so as the commander of the personal guard, he naturally wanted to save him.

Xi Ding'an drew out his knife and took two steps forward before realizing something was wrong.

Damn it... grandpa...is he going to be saved or not?
The five strong men were all the sons of the clan carefully selected by Xi Kangsheng at that time, all of them were surnamed Xi, and they were either clan brothers or nephews.And the one closest to him is Daxi, and the two of them are half-brothers in name.

On the other hand, it was to save Xi Kangsheng that Da Xi made such a bad move...

He couldn't help but slowed down. He was worrying about what to do when he heard Daxi shout: "Idiot, if you don't come to help, why don't you see your father..."

"boom……"

The sound stopped abruptly, and a leather boot kicked Da Xi's nose fiercely. Da Xi grunted, and his face was bloodied in an instant.

There were a few more "dong dong", and two of the four big men were sent flying.

worse...

Xi Ding'an was shocked.

If he really wanted to be turned over by his father, he might kill himself on the spot.And when the time comes, will he, Xi Ding'an, be able to live alone?
Even Daxi won't bypass him...

"Quick... save the county magistrate..."

Shouting for help, Xi Ding'an dived and threw Xi Kangsheng, who was struggling to kneel up, to the ground again.

Naturally, the guards were clever too, roaring and ran over, pressing Xi Kangsheng's leg firmly.

No matter how fierce the generals are, Xi Kangsheng is almost sixty years old, he can fight against six, and can he fight against sixty?
Only ten breaths later, without listening to Xi Kangsheng's voice, dozens of big men formed a circle and retreated towards the city gate like dogs chasing after them.

Taking a closer look, Xi Kangsheng was not only bound hands and feet, but his mouth was also tightly gagged.He was being carried by four people and galloped on all fours.

Forget it, let him and his son be fulfilled...

Xing Luan sighed and waved his hands: "Siege!"

Hearing the sound of the drum, the stunned Zhenjun came back to his senses.

Their coach...was snatched away by the enemy?

I have fought countless battles, but this is the first time I have seen such a scene...

"kill……"

A group of remnants roared and rushed towards the city gate.

Whether it can be fought, let alone the dead or not, at least the coach must be snatched back first...

Hundreds of town troops were still standing at the gate of the city, even though Xi Ding'an yelled and dispersed, some soldiers still rushed up.Although there were rebels rushing out of the city gate to meet him, Daxi was delayed for a while.

A group of people rushed into the door opening with Xi Kangsheng on his front feet, and the Zhenjun rushed up the suspension bridge with his back feet.The experienced old pawn cut off the shackles tied with iron chains with a few knives.

Immediately, the town army rushed across the moat like a swarm of bees...

"Look clearly, it's the one on the yellow horse, don't mistake him...but when he enters the city, he will be off the gate..."

"Don't worry, handsome!"

Pei Anzhi stared at Xing Luan closely, his eyes staring like copper bells...

No, the suspension bridge can't be lifted, so don't you put a thousand-jin gate?

It's not enough to snatch Xi Kangsheng away. You won't even capture him alive, Xing, right?

Xing Luan's heart shuddered, and he wanted to stop the horse, but how could he hold on?

Ordinary soldiers wouldn't think about whether they were caught in a trick, as long as the general gave an order, he would tear down the door if he was told to open the door, and he would attack the city if he was told to attack the city, there would never be a trace of ambiguity.

And the door is wide open, who would take the trouble to build a ladder, just rush in and kill...

Just like that, Ren Xingluan yelled and cursed, but was rushed into the Wengcheng with both men and horses.Li Feng and Pei Anzhi didn't dare to blink, they stared at Xing Luan who was riding a fat yellow horse.

Seeing Xing Luan enter the door just now, Pei Anzhi roared "Fall", and the stone gate slammed the door shut.

The rebels appeared like ghosts, densely packed on the top of the city, countless.

Xing Luan was shocked and angry.

You have already guessed that it is a trick, but you are still fooled in the end?

At any rate, Xi Kangsheng still had Daxi to cover up his ugliness by disobeying his father's order, but what about himself?

After being a loyal minister and famous general for most of his life, he can't just beg for surrender when he is about to die, right?

Xing Luan sighed by mistake, and drew out the knife again.It was already up to the neck, and a heart-piercing scream came from above the head: "Father!"

He raised his head, his pupils shrank suddenly.

The only son, Xing Xun, was lying on the top of the wall with tears in his eyes: "Father, please think twice, if you go, how will your son survive?"

A group of anger welled up in her heart, and Xing Lian glared angrily.

No matter how great the truth in the world is, it is nothing more than the word "filial piety". He witnessed his biological father committing suicide in full view. As the only son, how should Xing Xun deal with himself in the future? superior?

He finally understood why Xi Kangsheng was so angry before.

But this love, this love, what can I do?

Xing Luan gritted his teeth, finally let out a long sigh, dropped the knife in his hand, and squeezed out another word from his teeth: "Jiang..."

……

At night, Xing Luan and Xing Xun hugged each other and cried, without seeing each other all night.But Xi Kangsheng beat Daxi into a pig's head.

The next day, more than a thousand cavalry guarded two vans covered with green curtains and drove to Luoyang...

……

It was already midnight, but the main hall was still brightly lit.Sitting behind the case, Li Chengzhi sometimes meditated and sometimes wrote vigorously.

Under the steps, Cui Guang, Liu Fang, You Zhao and Cui Xiu each occupy a corner.There are four or five things on each side, and there are piles of documents and books in front of each of them.

So far, 41 of the 28 prefectures in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties have nominally belonged to the Li family. These are the yellow books of each prefecture, which record the population of each county and county, how many aristocratic families, how many powerful families, how many self-cultivating farmers, how many tenants, and how many serfs. , How many monk households, military households, artisan households, etc.

As well as the number of acres of public land in each government, and even the amount of land assets in each household.

Of course, there were quite a lot of hidden households in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, and even more hidden fields, but with such a document, there can be a comparison.

After sorting out the general situation, Li Chengzhi will send appeasement envoys to the states, mainly to appease the aristocratic families and powerful people in each state, so as to avoid the endless wars like the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Candidates for the recruiting envoys from all walks of life have also been finalized, and all of them are selected from the local aristocratic counties.

As long as these representatives can appease the children of the same family, even if the rest take advantage of the situation, they will not cause much trouble.

Just like in Guanzhong, the Yang family has fled to Xuzhou with Li Chong. Now who dares to say that the Li family in Longxi can't be the leader of the Zhongshi family in Guanzhong?With Li Xin in charge and Zhang Jingzhi as deputy envoy, the Guanzhong prefectures should be stabilized.

On the other hand, Pei Zhi and Xue He were the main and deputy envoys, including Bing, Si, Fen, Shuo, Si and other prefectures.Hebei and other states are Wei Zijian and Li Shiliang.

As for the Six Towns, they have now been tossed to pieces. Although they are useless, at least there will be no more threats. Li Chengzhi asked Guo Zuo, who was born in Taiyuan, to come out of the mountain, and Li Shixian as his assistant...

In fact, if you ask yourself, Li Chengzhi didn't expect this day to come so soon.When Luoyang was broken three months ago, he thought that there must be countless hard battles, and it was more likely that the world would be disrupted and there would be wars everywhere.

But who would have thought that Nanliang would take advantage of the fire to loot and become the last straw that broke the camel's back.What's more, he didn't expect that the young emperor could make a decisive decision and retreat to Xu Shou as quickly as possible.

It's really not ordinary, even Li Chengzhi didn't expect that the young emperor would make Fu Shuyan retreat without a fight, and hand over Luo, Jing, Xiang, Yu and other states to Nanliang.

The soldiers and elites were all evacuated to Yanzhou, and even the food and grass were emptied. Wei Rui was like entering a land of no one. In one month, Luozhou, Jingzhou and half of Yuzhou were included in his pocket.

The same is true for Li Chong, who quietly took away all the elites of the Chinese army, leaving only Yang Jun to guard in Guanzhong.But with tens of thousands of strong people, how can he be Li Chengzhi's opponent?
In the end, he was defeated in Tongguan, and Yang Jun also died in the rebellion.

Thinking of the past of the two, Li Chengzhi inevitably felt a little embarrassed.But war is like this, even brothers and Jiaozi can kill each other, let alone best friends?

"Kingdom!"

A soft call interrupted Li Chengzhi's thoughts, he let out a long sigh, and asked again: "What's the matter?"

"Hurry up and report that General Daxi, Duke Xi and County Xing have arrived in Xin'an at dusk, and will enter the city tomorrow..."

Xin'an, also known as Mengjin in later generations, is only forty miles away from Luoyang City.

Li Chengzhi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

With these two attached, it is enough to resist Nanliang.

Counting the Yuan and Wei dynasties, if talking about the famous generals who fought against Liang, Yuanying is naturally second to none, followed by Li Chong, and after that are Xing Luan, Xi Kangsheng, and Yang Dayan.

Yuanying was dead, not to mention Li Chong and Yang Dayan, only Xi Kangsheng, Xing Luan and Nanliang fought the most and had the most experience.

This is why he tried so hard to recruit Xi Kangsheng and Xing Luan...
