Horse on the World

Chapter 472 Inheritance
Yizhou, as the base camp of the Li family, has been established for several generations. The family has accumulated a lot of wealth, and a few years ago, after An Guogong Li Huaiyuan got the construction blueprint of the bastion from Li Qing, he spared no effort and spent an astonishing amount of money and food on the already majestic Yizhou City. After large-scale transformation and reconstruction, the current Yizhou City is not as tall and magnificent as Luoyang City, but from a military point of view, it is no less difficult to attack.Moreover, there is another great secret in Yizhou City, which is the lethality of the bastion.The ancient capital of Luoyang has gone through hundreds of thousands of years, and its internal structure is no secret to any interested person, but the internal structure of the newly remodeled Yizhou City is kept secret.In response to the new structure of Yizhou City, the generals developed countless new tactics.

All of these are actually Li Huaiyuan's unforeseen mistakes. At the beginning, he estimated that when Li Qing developed to a certain level, Yizhou, which was in the hinterland of the Great Chu, would inevitably be attacked by his opponents, and Li Qingyuan was in Dingzhou. If you have no intentions, you will have nothing else to think about except Yizhou's own resistance, and the strong Yizhou City will become a nightmare for your opponents. From then on, Li Huaiyuan ordered to start stockpiling a large amount of strategic materials , Yizhou City has stored enough food for hundreds of thousands of people for a year, and countless military equipment, but Li Huaiyuan's rapid expansion of Li Qing's power made Li Huaiyuan unexpected. Before any unfriendly move was made, the Li Qing Group had grown into a behemoth. At this time, any opponent had to consider whether they could bear the consequences of Li Qing's violent revenge once they attacked Yizhou. On the contrary, it is as stable as Mount Tai. Now, the territory under Li Qing's administration has been integrated with Yizhou, so it is impossible to be attacked.

On the east wall of Yizhou, there are lights and festoons, and countless red lanterns are hung on the wall stack. Every five steps, there is a soldier in brand-new armor standing with a bow, and between the two soldiers, there is another red lantern. A big cowhide drum, and a drummer in bright red, holding mallets in both hands, stood awe-inspiring.

Within a mile below the city, tens of thousands of Yizhou soldiers, numbering 500, were divided into 500 phalanxes, and they were all wearing new armor. The brand new armor shone in the sun, which was even more shocking. There are two phalanxes of [-] cavalry, [-] of which are all black horses, and the other [-] are all white horses. Black and white are distinct, standing opposite each other, giving people an extremely eye-catching visual effect.

And in the middle of the gate, on a grand master's chair, An Guogong Li Huaiyuan did not wear the national costume, but casually dressed in home clothes, with his hands on the chair handle, leaning on the back of the chair, usually looking The somewhat cloudy eyes were extremely clear today, revealing a look of joy.

The development of the Great Chu form to this day is basically clear, and the three-point world has been formed. Among the top three, it is undeniable that Tianqi holds a bigger card, but among the Tianqi power group, there are also fatal forces. Although Tianqi Dama has carried out drastic reforms and reorganizations, within his group, there are still a large number of old bureaucrats and a large number of small and medium-sized gentry forces. These people followed Tianqi and overthrew countless The big door is big, but he fantasizes that he will become a new big door. Under the opening of the unified goal, he can mobilize huge energy, but once the form is stable, there will inevitably be large and small internal problems, and Li Qing's forces The group is like rising to the rising sun. Most of the civil servants and generals under it are struggling from the bottom, and they have no power to rely on. This also determines that if they want to develop, they must be closely united around Li Qing. To develop itself through the expansion of Li Qing's power, in this group, there is only the Li family, which also determines the unshakable core position of the Li family.

In the past year, Li Qing's integration of his own forces has also impressed Li Huaiyuan. Sometimes, he really thinks that there are geniuses in this world, like this grandson who didn't let him know until he was twenty, is such a monster, This kid who has not received any family education is so sophisticated in politics that he, an old politician, is also amazed. The Dingzhou Group has grown into a giant until now. , Li Qing played the way of balance very well, and no one could form his own independent power group.Although there are hills of one kind or another in Dingzhou, almost all of them are you and me, and you are in each other's way. Moreover, in recent years, Li Qing has vigorously supported the merchant group, surpassing Long Xiaotian, which made Li Huaiyuan even more The businessman group is rich but powerless, and they have almost no choice but to rely on Li Qing.

Among the Dingzhou Group, there is only one self-contained and independent organization, and that is the Statistics and Investigation Department of Qingfeng. Thinking of this, Li Huaiyuan couldn't help turning his head to look at the woman who was by his side. She was staring at the end of the road, her beautiful face was as calm as water, and she could not see any psychological fluctuations. This woman was Qingfeng who had just returned to Yizhou.

As if sensing that Li Huaiyuan was watching her, Qingfeng turned around and gave Li Huaiyuan a smile in response. Li Huaiyuan nodded, turned his head, and thought, with Li Qing's political skills and scheming, if there is no other arrangement To check and balance Qingfeng, is that strange?However, I also need to ask Li Qing about this matter at the right time. After all, the Statistics and Investigation Department is too powerful in the dark, and the relationship between Li Qing and Qingfeng is so entangled. I am afraid that Li Qing will feel ashamed of Qingfeng. In the heart, and let it flow.However, with Li Qing's skill and scheming as a mature politician, this situation should not happen.

"Here we come!" Li Feng's surprised voice came from behind. At the end of the field of vision, a black line appeared. Immediately, more and more cavalrymen appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Let's start!" Li Huaiyuan ordered softly.

Li Feng nodded vigorously, trotted a few steps, got on his horse, took a Li character flag from a person beside him, held it high, and as the Li character flag suddenly unfolded, hundreds of giant drums on the city wall sound knocked.

With his legs clamped between the horse's belly, Li Feng held the flag in one hand and galloped forward along the passage of the army formation. The banner unfurled and flapped in the wind. Every time he passed an army formation, there was a burst of deafening cheers.

With the reminders from the two uncles in front, Li Qing was already prepared in his heart, but he still didn't expect that the battle would be so big, and Li Huaiyuan's relatives would welcome him to the city gate. He got off his horse, straightened his clothes, looked back at the three elders beside him, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Li Sizhi smiled and shook his head, "You are the protagonist today, of course you go first!"

Li Qing said with a smile: "It should be the elders who invite first."

Seeing this, Li Muzhi said: "Big brother and second brother, Qingfeng is a junior after all, let's go first!"

Li Tuizhi said: "No, no, third child, no matter when you and I go home, have you ever seen the old man greet him at the gate of the city? Today he came here to welcome Li Qing. How can we be better than before? Old man But you're going to be furious. Qing'er goes first."

Li Qing turned his eyes around the faces of several people, confirming that they really wanted to go first, and shook his head helplessly, "Then Qingfeng is rude." Turning around, striding forward, behind him, Tang Hu and Iron Leopard followed closely, and behind Tang Hu and Iron Leopard were the three elders of the Li family.

The sound of hoofbeats was urgent, Li Feng held the banner with the word Li in his hand, and accompanied by bursts of cheers, he rolled towards him like a gust of wind, tens of feet away from Li Qing and the others, he reined in his horse suddenly, the horse neighed, and the man stood up, Li Feng jumped down as lightly as a swallow, raised the banner high with both hands, and strode towards Li Qingxing with a solemn expression.

Li Qing stopped in his tracks, and looked back at the three elders in shock, only to see that his father Li Muzhi also looked shocked, while his uncle Li Sizhi and his second uncle Li Tuizhi looked calm. Obviously, the two of them were already in love with each other. It is clear to the chest.Between families, this flag is not casually promiscuous.

Li Feng, who walked up to Li Qing, had a flash of joy on his face, and with the Li character flag rolled up, he knelt down on one leg, holding the flag in both hands, and presented it high in front of Li Qing.

"Qing'er can't accept the flag!" Li Muzhi shouted anxiously behind him. He was afraid that Li Qing would not know the significance of accepting the flag, so he quickly reminded him.

Li Qing also hesitated for a while. At this time, the meaning of An Guogong Li Huaiyuan's ceremony of handing over the flag was clear. He wanted to hand over the power of the Li clan to Li Qing. He has long surpassed the Yizhou clan, but within the clan, he is still a junior.Not to mention other offshoots, even the direct relatives of the family, and there are three elders on top, not to mention, the uncle Li Sizhi was previously recognized as the successor of the head of the Li clan.

Li Qing couldn't see any expression from his uncle Li Sizhi's face, he stood with his hands behind his back with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the matter in front of him.

Li Feng couldn't kneel while holding the flag, but Li Qing couldn't reach out to receive the flag. The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment.

At the gate of the city, Li Huaiyuan stood up and said loudly: "Li Huaiyuan, the patriarch of the Li clan, ordered Li Qing to accept the flag. Shout out to me!"

"Yes!" Li Wen, who was on the other side of Li Huanyuan's body, strode forward and said loudly, "Li Huaiyuan ordered Li Qing to accept the flag from the Li Clan!"

As soon as Li Wen finished speaking, the military formation closest to him immediately shouted loudly.

The cries of one phalanx after another were passed down one by one, and finally, the shouts of nearly ten thousand people moved everyone.

"Li Huaiyuan, the patriarch of the Li clan, ordered Li Qing to accept the flag!"

Hearing the loud shout, Li Qing gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand, took the Li character banner from Li Feng's hand, shook it away, and strode forward.

When they reached the gate of the city, Li Huaiyuan had already stood up. Li Qing thrust the flag into the ground under his feet, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "Grandson Li Qing has seen grandpa!"

Li Huaiguo laughed loudly, "Li's family has sons like this, how can there be glory under the nine springs of the ancestors!" He helped Li Qing, took his hand, turned and went into the city, and climbed up the tower step by step.

Under the city, the army array began to move and gathered under the city.Outside the army formation, countless people from Yizhou also gathered, looking at the black heads under the city, Li Huaiyuan smiled and said: "Qing'er, let me say a few words for everyone!"

Stretching out his hand and gently pushing Li Qing to the front, Li Qing looked at the countless faces looking up in the city, with mixed feelings in his heart. Many years ago, he was in almost the same situation, and he once told the people of Chong County One sentence, "Let us eat dry every meal!" This sentence inspired me and my subordinates who were poor at that time to go through the most difficult time. Today, it is the same as before, but that sentence is still the same. It is firmly remembered by the people of Chongxian County.

Clearing his throat, Li Qing pressed his hands together, and the city was completely silent.Taking a deep breath, Li Qing exhausted all his strength.

"I, Li Qing, will take you farther!"
