Chapter 459: The Abandoned People

Li Huai'an, the leader of the younger generation of the Li clan in Zhao County, is also the core of all the people left in the "shell" of the Li clan in Zhao County by Li Shidao.

At the beginning, the imperial court sent the internal guards to arrest the clan, but at first the two clans did not dare to resist, and only the Li clan of Zhaojun took the lead in attacking the internal guards, which triggered the follow-up of the Northern Zhou clan to attack it, which led to all the Northern Zhou clans having to move south.

Because they played the inner guard.

This is the power of the state apparatus, each level of the state apparatus represents a whole, as long as you move one part of this huge machine, this state apparatus will run over you with all its might.

Because it has to have absolute authority for this government to last.

The internal guard is a part of the national apparatus, and it is a part of the core, it is the internal guard of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the face of the Son of Heaven.

They must flee to Shu County.

These Northern Zhou clans gathered together in only three days, taking away all the belongings they could take away, their families, four or five families adding up to more than 20,000 people, and rushed towards the southwest.

When they entered the mountains of Shu County, they were safe.

After more than a month of transfer, I saw that Weishui was in front of me, and after Weishui, the 100,000 mountains of Shu County were close in front of me, and as long as I entered the mountain, there was military protection. And they will be safe.

On this morning, Yang Yu, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, who was close to 60 years old, sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the Weishui River not far away.

Nearly 4,000 members of the Hongnong Yang family, following him, moved towards the front.

He pondered for a while, then said to the subordinate next to him, "You go, invite Li Huai'an over." ”

"Yes."

After a while, Li Huai'an, who looked to be in his early thirties, appeared in front of Yang Yu, and he respectfully bowed to his juniors.

"Yang Shibo."

Yang Yu beckoned to him and said, "Nephew Li, come to the car to talk." ”

Li Huaian hurriedly bent over and got into Yang Yu's car.

The cart was very wide, for it was already wriggling, and there were two copper stoves in the cart, and in the furnace there were several pieces of tiger-shaped charcoal.

The strong sandalwood fragrance in the carriage was refreshing.

Li Huaian bowed respectfully in the carriage: "What is the matter with Uncle Shi calling his little nephew?" ”

"How long will it take to get to Weishui?"

Li Huaian stretched out his head and looked at the sky in front of him, and then said, "Back to Shibo, probably this evening, you will be able to see Weishui." ”

"Is the ship ready?"

"It's all set."

Li Huaian smiled and said: "There are people in the Li family who are engaged in ship business, and they have stayed in Weishui half a month in advance to prepare, dozens of boats are here, let's go to the river in the evening, and we can all cross Weishui the next morning." ”

Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he said slowly: "Yes, you are very disciplined in doing things, and you are a good offspring." ”

"Uncle Shi's reputation is overblown, it's all arranged by his uncle in front, and his nephew is just running errands in the back."

Li Huai'an's uncle is Li Shidao, the head of the Li family in Zhao County, and he and Li Shen are actually the same generation.

Yang Yu's brows, which had been loosened, furrowed again.

"Speaking of Li Shidao, I haven't seen him for more than a month."

"Uncle, he brought people into Shu early in the morning."

Li Huaian smiled and said: "This time is a big deal, uncle doesn't dare to slack off, this way to the west, we have to rely on my uncle and them to take care of it, and what is the situation in southern Xinjiang, we also need my uncle to give us a front station." ”

"So, what's going on in southern Xinjiang?"

"I heard...... Li Shen returned to Shu. ”

Li Huaian stretched out his hand to roast the fire, and then said softly: "I should have just arrived in Shu County at this time, but no matter what, Li Shen is the absolute core of the army, and when he got out of the capital, our chances of winning are much higher." ”

"Li Shen is out."

Yang Yu thought secretly in his heart.

If Li Shen dies in the capital, then most of the army in southern Xinjiang will fall into the hands of Li Yan, compared to Li Shen, Li Yan, a pure general, will be much easier to control, but now that Li Shen is back, then the plan of the Northern Zhou clan to control the army and thus control the future national fortune can be said to have failed.

It's a pity......

The white-haired head of the Yang family, I don't know why, suddenly regrets it now.

He did not regret taking action against the internal guards, because there was no recovery at that time, and he regretted that he should not have ordered his subordinates to concoct the disaster and report it to the imperial court in the first place.

From that point on, the rest is unpredictable.

Yang Yu slowly closed his eyes and muttered to himself in his heart: "That's it, if you don't bet on this, the Wang family will be unknown after two generations, it's better to gamble, the ancestors and ancestors should be able to understand me." ”

Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and looked at Li Huai'an in front of him.

"Li Shidao is not here, why is there no one of Li Shidao's sons?"

Li Huai'an's eyelids jumped for a moment, and then he frowned and said, "What does Shibo mean by this?" Everyone has been in the past for several years, this time the matter is too big, uncle he took some people to southern Xinjiang in advance to inquire about the situation, to confirm that southern Xinjiang can go, let's go with the past, why is Shibo so concerned now? ”

Li Huaian took a deep breath.

"There are more than 2,000 people in the Li clan of my Zhao County, is my uncle thinking of exterminating his own people?"

Yang Yu was silent.

The carriage drove slowly, little by little, in the direction of Weishui.

Yang Yu lifted the curtain and looked at it, then sighed slowly.

"As long as we cross Weishui, even if the imperial court sends people to hunt us down, it should be too late, I hope there will be no incident."

Li Huaian bowed his head slightly, bowed down and said, "Uncle Shi, my nephew still has a lot to do, if Uncle Shi has nothing to do, my nephew will go down and get busy first." ”

Yang Yu beckoned, motioned to the driver to stop, and put Li Huai'an down.

The "immigration" brigade, numbering more than 20,000 people, slowly moved towards the banks of the Weishui River.

Among them are the Boling Cui family, the Fan Yang Lu family, the Hongnong Yang family, the Zhao Jun Li family and the Xingyang Zheng family.

These five are big surnames, each of them is a family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and without exception, each of them is a family that is gradually declining.

That's why they dare to gamble on everything.

Because they didn't have much left.

In the evening, Weishui was in sight.

None of the Li family members sent out by Li Huai'an to explore the way came back.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the team on.

But what was waiting for him ahead was not dozens of big ships on the banks of the Weishui River, but a full 8,000 forbidden troops with distinct armor.

When he saw the armor of the forbidden army, the whole person was stupid.

At this time, on the horse at the front of this group of forbidden troops, there were two young men.

The young man who was a little further back bowed respectfully to the young man in front.

"Little grandpa, they're in the net."

Ye Mao traveled a long way, and finally came to the bank of the Weishui River before these Northern Zhou clans arrived.

There were 14,000 people in the Zhichong Mansion under his command.

Today, directly in front of these Northern Zhou clans are 8,000 forbidden troops, while the other 6,000 or so are scattered on both wings.

These Northern Zhou clans can't run away.

Ye Mao glanced at these clans in front of him coldly, and finally spoke categorically.

"There are too many of them, for safety, let's clear a batch of arrows first, and then talk to them!"

The herald quickly conveyed Ye Mao's words, and the order was quickly implemented in the well-trained forbidden army.

So, a salvo of arrows was fired.

Although the number of these Northern Zhou clans was larger than that of the forbidden army, the army and civilians were not at the same level of battle, and when a salvo came down, a large area was poured, which was simply a massacre.

Every feathered arrow is fatal to ordinary people without any armor.

More than 20,000 migrating Northern Zhou clans fell to the ground one after another.

It was accompanied by the crying of children and the screams of adults. It's like purgatory on earth.

Li Huai'an, who was not wearing armor, was unfortunate and was also pierced through the chest by an arrow.

It wasn't until the moment he fell to the ground that Li Huai'an understood in his heart.

These Northern Zhou clans were abandoned.

Myself and these Zhao Jun Li family members... It was also abandoned.

The reality is so cruel.
