Chapter 68 Li Daozhen's Ambition

In the last month of the second year of Wude, news of the victory of Li Daozong, the general manager of Lingzhou, came. In the second year of Wude, Li Gui had actually been betrayed by everyone. The former Li Gui's planner, the Minister of Personnel of the Western Liang, was killed by the Minister of Civil Affairs, An Xiuren and his son Wei Duke Li Zhongyan. When Li Daozong led the four Zhechong Prefectures of Dingyuan Army to the outside of Guzang City, Wuwei, An Xiuren and Xi Daoyi took the opportunity to raise an army, control the Guzang City Gate, and lead Li Daozong's army into the city.

Li Gui was caught off guard and retreated to the palace city. Li Daozong personally persuaded Li Gui to surrender. Xi Daoyi was originally Xue Ju's pillar country. When Xue Renguo was defeated, he led more than 3,000 remaining troops to surrender to Li Gui. Later, Li Gui did not fulfill his promise to enthrone Xi Daoyi as the governor of Liangzhou. Xi Daoyi developed resentment. If Li Daozong successfully surrendered Li Gui, he would be afraid that Li Gui would retaliate against him in the future. For this reason, Xi Daoyi discussed with An Xiuren and contacted An Xinggui, the brother of An Xiuren, the left Wu Guard General, who was guarding the palace city. With An Xinggui's internal and external cooperation, Xi Daoyi took the lead in attacking the palace city and killed all directions. When Li Daozong rushed into the palace, Li Gui and Li Chu were just a headless corpse.

Li Yuan thought that his plan to cross the sky and the sea was successful, and he said to the left servant Pei Ji and the Secretariat Xiao Yu: "Now Daozong is guarding the border and is in control of the masses. In the past, Cao Zhang, the king of Rencheng of the Wei Dynasty, had the merit of repelling the enemy, and Daozong was brave, which was similar to it."

Then Li Daozong was appointed King of Rencheng. In order to commend Li Daozong's achievements, Li Daozong was appointed as the chief manager of Liangzhou's military commander, in charge of the military affairs of Gua, Sha, Yi, Su, Shan, Gan, He, Xi, Lan, Min, and Kuo's eleven states.

When Chen Ying learned the news, he was as disgusting as if he had swallowed a fly. It is undeniable that Li Daozong made contributions, but Li Daozong defeated Li Gui, occupied Liangzhou, and expanded the land of the seven states. In nature, he was a bargain. However, Li Daozong not only won the title of king, but also became the essentially precious "King of Hexi."

Chen Ying even suspected that if Li Shimin had not usurped the throne and relying on Li Yuan, it was really unknown whether the Tang Dynasty could stabilize the world. Li Yuan had a smooth break through the river and destroyed the bridge. However, Chen Ying did not care too much, because his eyes were fixed on Chai, and Chai did not respond to Chen Ying's pretext. Chen Ying waited for more than a month. This time was enough for the Chang'an branch of the Chang'an Chai clan to discuss the result with the Fenzhou clan. Chai did not respond, and it was itself rejecting Chen Ying's peaceful solution.

In Chen Ying's peaceful solution, Chen Ying provided Chai's cane sugar process to help him build a sugar workshop. You should know that sugar was a profitable deal in this era, but Chai did not respond at all, and Chen Ying's kindness was wasted.

Since he is ignorant, then let's meet each other. Although Chen Ying was very relaxed in agreeing to Li Xiuning, it was not easy to defeat the Chai family in Fenzhou. He naturally needed the help of Hou Mo Chen.

Chen Ying brought a four-wheeled carriage back to Chang'an City and went straight to Hou Mo Chen's mansion.

...

Lingzhou City Bogulu City, which is the first fortress of Lingwu Eighteen Town Fortress, Li Daozhen settled his home here. At the most critical moment, Li Daozhen saved the people of Lingzhou and regarded them as guests of honor by Yang Ze. At the same time, they also regarded them as rebirth parents and living Bodhisattvas by the people of Lingzhou.

Li Daozhen bought a small courtyard in Bogulu City. It was not large in size and was warm. Xiaotao and Mu Xiuling pulled the snow and danced in the yard with snowflakes flying all over the sky. They grabbed the snowflakes and kneaded them into snowballs, and had a great time having fun.

In the warm pavilion, Li Daozhen and Song Wushao were having a very slight chat. The two sat on the kang, heads next to each other, and chatting with smiles. Although Chen Ying formed the Eighteen Towns of Lingwu, he did not create a unified command system for the Eighteen Towns. When they were fighting each other, it was actually very dangerous to encounter powerful enemies. Fortunately, Li Daozhen appeared in time this time, killed Liang Luoren and defeated Liang Jun.

Although Mrs. Song was considered a person who had experienced life and death, she could not keep up with Li Daozhen's rhythm. In the plan, Li Daozhen formed a whole with the Eighteen Towns of Lingwu. Each town and fort was drawn to form a cavalry unit. As the mobile power of Lingwu Eighteen Towns, she could support it at any time if one side had difficulties. As for the cost of raising troops, each town in Lingwu Eighteen Towns would give each part of its strength according to its different strengths.

Song Wusao was still in fear of the sudden attack on Liang's army.

Suddenly, Song Wusao discovered Li Daozhen's strangeness. Li Daozhen's figure was hot. Although she concealed it very well and dealt with it very appropriately, she still found a problem in front of Song Wusao, a woman who had given birth to a child. No matter how she concealed the pregnancy reaction that Li Daozhen showed, she still couldn't escape Song Zisao's eyes.

Of course, behind the smile on Li Daozhen's face, there is always an indescribable loneliness.

As a veteran, Song Wusao Song can roughly guess what she thought. Li Daozhen was pregnant, but she had never seen her husband, nor had she heard of Li Daozhen's husband. It is very likely that this child was an illegitimate child. In this era, this is not uncommon. As a woman, she naturally understands women better. At this time, Li Daozhen needs care the most, but she does not receive any care and care.

Seeing Li Daozhen showing fatigue, Song Wusao stood up and said, "County Lord, I'll go back first. Go back and call the generals of the towns to discuss and come up with a suitable charter. First build our Lingzhou township cavalry, so you don't have to look at people's faces at that time..."

Li Daozhen waved his hand at Xiaotao.

Xiaotao jumped into the house: "What are your instructions?"

"Send my fifth sister-in-law to my behalf!"

Xiaotao reached out and pointed: "Fifth sister-in-law, please!"

Mu Xiuling stretched out her tongue to Xiaotao: "I will come to see you when I have time!"

Li Daozhen lay lazily on the kang, subconsciously stroking her lower abdomen with her hands. As time went by, her belly became bigger and bigger, and she didn't even know how to explain to Li Daozong that Li Daozong was not Li Daoxing, and would not let Li Daozhen make trouble. Perhaps Li Daozong would stand up for her and ask Chen Ying for an explanation.

"Madam, Madam, come and see!"

Xiaotao's excited voice came from outside the door, and Li Daozhen frowned slightly. Li Daozhen had heard that pregnant women needed rest, but Xiaotao seemed to eat firecrackers every day, no matter how he was.

After waiting for a long time, a two-wheeled carriage slowly drove into the yard. The carriage was filled with boxes of different sizes of three, and there was no clue.

Xiaotao ran to Li Daozhen and said to Li Daozhen: "County Lord, this is sent by Chen Langjun!"

When Chen Ying heard Li Daozhen appear in Lingzhou and led his personal guards to repel the Liang army's attack and made a great contribution. Li Yuan also granted Li Daozhen a fief of 300 households. Now Li Daozhen is still the county lord, but her fief of 800 households is the same as Princess Guiyang and Princess Shouchun. Chen Ying wanted to say that he was not worried that Li Daozhen was a lie. When the high manganese steel knives and high manganese steel Mingguang armor were built, Chen Ying used the excuse of personally inspecting and detaining a Mingguang armor, a long-handled Mojiu sword, and a steel crossbow.

At the sign of Li Daozhen, Xiaotao opened a box. Seeing that there was a steel crossbow in the box, it was also carrying a hundred arrows made of fine steel. Xiaotao was quite unhappy: "It was actually a crossbow..."

Li Daozhen said, "Good thing!"

Li Daozhen took the steel crossbow first, pulled the string, took out an arrow, and shot it in the sky. He could only hear the sound of "puff" breaking through the air, and I didn't know where the arrow was shot. Li Daozhen put down the steel crossbow and rubbed his hands and praised, "What a bow, I'm afraid of not being able to get the power of three stones, and it's powerful."

Li Daozhen opened another box and found the dark Mingguang armor inside. At first, Li Daozhen didn't care. Although the Mingguang armor was rare, it was really not a rare thing for Li Daozhen.

When Li Dao saw the dark Mo Dao lying in the box, a touch of warmth appeared instantly. The Mo Dao made of high manganese steel is not only sharp, but also murderous intent. Li Daozhen held the Mo Dao brush and cut a wooden stake as thick as a bowl in the yard into three pieces. He was surprised. You must know that although Mo Dao was sharp, he was a little weak in cutting wood. Even if her own Mo Dao was still very difficult, she looked at the Mo Dao carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Li Daozhen stroked the cold Mo Dao and thought to himself: "It seems that Chen Ying still cares about himself. These three things he gave him are treasures that are hard to find."

As the saying goes, those who love you are afraid that they will not give you enough, and those who don’t love you are afraid that you will ask too much. Although Li Daozhen did not ask for anything from Chen Ying, when Chen Ying sent magic weapons and weapons not far away, Li Daozhen still moved him strangely.

Li Daozhen placed it in Modao, looking in the direction of Chang'an, and thoughts were full of thoughts in his heart.
