Chapter eight hundred and seventy fifth not so kind
The northwest was not taken over by the Guanlong family, but by Li Xinchen.
Li Xingchen knew this very well.
He was not naive enough to think that these aristocratic families were so anxious to mess up the entire northwest and replace it with Li Xinchen's flag because they wanted to actively move closer to Li Xinchen, so they rushed to expand their land for Li Xinchen.
This northwest is their certificate of surrender, and if Li Xingchen takes over the northwest directly from their hands, it will be equivalent to accepting them. Undoubtedly, this certificate of investment is very important. If Li Xingchen wants to truly own the northwest, he must find a way to find someone.
To raise merit for these aristocratic families with things of equal value.
For the Hongnong Yang family and the Changsun family represented by Changsun Sheng standing in front of Li Xingchen, what they want is a foothold in the court, but for other small aristocratic families, such as the Anding Niu family, they
Of course, they don't have such big expectations. In fact, what they want is still the local snakes they are now, and the northwest is their gift. The easiest way for Li Xinchen is to return the northwest to them.
In this way, Li Xingchen still owns the money and food in the northwest, but in fact the officials at all levels in the northwest are controlled by these local families. In the era of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system without imperial examinations, this situation was not uncommon, and this was even the basic structure of society.
.
Therefore, if the chaos in the northwest was not really getting out of control, these people would not have actively sought Li Xingchen's help.
Directly handing over a huge piece of land to Li Xingchen, these northwest aristocratic families are not so kind.
"A certain association will send troops out of Chencang Road to Chencang and Tianshui to support the siege." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "At the same time, the army will go out of Yangping Pass to threaten Xiaoguan's flanks. Brother Changsun can rest assured. In addition, if there is still time for a while,
If the problem is difficult to solve, I will also go to Chencang."
Changsun Sheng did not expect that Li Xingchen would agree so readily. Before he could recover for a while, Yang Yue had already bowed his hands and saluted: "If the general can save the chaos in the northwest, all the families in the northwest must follow him with all their strength."
Yang Yue has been in Hanzhong for a long time, but he knows very well what kind of power Li Xingchen can bring to the table. This is enough to solve the current chaos in the northwest.
Li Xingchen smiled: "Brother Hui is polite. Brother Changsun is a guest from afar, so Lao Huibo, please take him around to see the appearance of our Hanzhong. Besides, I am afraid that we will not be able to spare so many manpower in a short time when we go to the northwest."
, I have heard for a long time that Brother Changsun is young and talented, I wonder if I would like to go on a journey with a certain person?"
Changsun Sheng was suddenly stunned. He didn't expect that Li Xingchen would ask him to follow him to the northwest by name. Suddenly, Changsun Sheng felt a rush of blood. Who doesn't want to make a good man's career? Chang'an's current dull atmosphere has already made Changsun unhappy.
Sheng had had enough. He came to Hanzhong this time on his own initiative. If he could follow Li Xingchen around the northwest and gain experience, this would naturally be what Changsun Sheng wanted.
Li Xingchen took in Changsun Sheng's expression and couldn't help but smile.
The Changsun family will be of great use in the future, so they must be controlled first. Taking Changsun Sheng to the northwest this time can cultivate his loyalty.
Seeing Chang Sun Sheng and Yang Yue leaving with happy faces, Xiao Shilian finally said, "Are you really planning to go with 800 troops and such a yellow-haired boy?"
Li Xingchen said calmly: "That's enough. There's a big commotion here in the northwest. You really think it's good for Yang Jian. Moreover, Yu Yi and Li Yan are both mature guys and have already been discharged and returned to their fields.
Why did you suddenly stand up at this time?"
"You mean..." Xiao Shilian's expression was shocked.
"They may not want to wield swords and guns again at this age, but they probably want to separate themselves from the turmoil in Chang'an." Li Xingchen said after considering, "Rather than get involved in the throne of the Zhou people
It is better to deal with the traitors of the Guanlong family. But for Yang Jian, it is a good thing that they can remain neutral at this time."
Xiao Shilian was startled for a moment, obviously this was something he had not considered before. Yes, in these troubled times, survival is the most important thing. No one is so kind, especially for these guys who have almost become old thieves.
It may not necessarily be that Yang Jian gave them something that made their hearts flutter. After all, they have been on the battlefield for so many years, what else have they not seen? And he is now a general, with the title of Grand Situ, which can be regarded as a high position.
I have become a minister, and there is nothing to commemorate. Taking the initiative to stand up at this time is probably more to avoid being involved in royal disputes.
Li Xingchen didn't know why in another time and space, the Yu family, Zhao family, etc., who were also members of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, disappeared in a short period of time. In all likelihood, they came into contact with the internal strife of the royal family, and ended up being victims.
It quickly disappeared. In comparison, the Li family of Longxi was obviously the luckiest one. From the beginning to the end, they followed the Yang family of Hongnong. In the end, Li Yuan, who was young and had little merit, succeeded in ascending to the throne and inherited the title of Tang Guogong.
Not only was he not affected, he became an important minister guarding the country, and ultimately laid a solid foundation for the establishment of a glorious Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the royal family will not abide by the tacit understanding of internal strife between aristocratic families. Anyone who dares to challenge the imperial power will be punished by death, especially Comrade Yu Wenyun. Although he is not a wise and good emperor, he has implemented this very well.
Therefore, the disappearance of these aristocratic families is not without traces. Yu Yi and Li Yan, who have been vaguely aware of the danger, are obviously trying to get themselves out of it by solving the chaos in the northwest.
"They are all smart people." Xiao Shilian couldn't help sighing.
Li Xingchen smiled at this time and said: "Sometimes it is easier to deal with smart people."
Xiao Shilian was startled for a moment, and couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile: "That's how you smart people see it. For people like me, I can't see through the key points. If you hadn't said that, maybe now
They foolishly thought that Yu Yi and the others came out because of Yang Jian..."
Li Xingchen interrupted Xiao Shilian: "Smart people are easy to deal with because they always look forward and backward in everything they do, so as long as you grasp the weaknesses they have to care about, they will be forced to retreat. But for unsmart people,
They may not be able to see these weaknesses at all, so they rush into it, either succeeding or failing, but no matter what, it means that this matter is unavoidable. Sometimes such people are the most
Difficult to deal with. Your father is a typical stupid young man. It is precisely because of this that every time he leads his army to attack, the enemy has to retreat. "
"Why do I think you are calling my father stupid?" Xiao Shilian frowned.
