【Chapter 281】 The beauty of the country

Three days.

In just three days, the Xiliang army, which occupied the eastern and southern cities of Chang'an, completely purged the rich and powerful in the city.

Such a large-scale purge and raiding of homes made many powerful and powerful gentry drag their families to take refuge in the west and north cities occupied by the Wuwei army, and without Wuwei army reaching out, they voluntarily donated half of their family wealth and asked Wuwei army to protect their lives.

Most of the residents of the west and north half of the city under the control of the Wuwei army are poor, and the number of rich and powerful households is far less than that of the southeast half of the city. Because more than eighty percent of the grain shops in Chang'an City were emptied by Li Xuan in advance, the people in the city could not buy food even if they had money, and the hungry people were everywhere. At this time, the temporary garrison of the Wuwei Army, Longxiang Li Mansion, began to release grain on a large scale and set up a stove in front of the mansion to relieve the homeless hungry and homeless.

Within three days, the Longxiang Li Mansion continuously distributed more than 100,000 stone of grain, and tens of thousands of hungry people and displaced people who fled were rescued. The people of the western and northern cities were able to receive enough food to eat for two months, and tens of thousands of victims were successively resettled in the vicinity of Yiwu, among which thousands of young and strong men joined the Wuwei army.

Three days later, there was a confrontation in the same city, in the southeast and northwest half of the city. On one side, murder and arson, chickens fly and dogs jump; On the other hand, there is generosity and generosity. Chang'an City is like two heavens of ice and fire.

For a time, more than 100,000 people in the city firmly remembered the names of two people, one was the notorious Northland Tiger Li Dao, and the other was Li Li, a brave cavalry general who was benevolent and loved the people. At the same time, most people in the city also knew that Li Dao and Li Li were uncles and nephews. For this reason, many people secretly sighed: "The gap between this pair of uncles and nephews is too big!" Although Li Dao is an elder, he is a vicious and vicious man, killing people like hemp, and the people are afraid of him like a tiger. On the other hand, although Li Li is not very old, he is benevolent and kind. Saving the people from fire and water made the people grateful to him and won the hearts of the people.

Such a huge contrast made the people in the city complain about Li Dao and Guo Yan's army, and gossip flew all over the sky.

In this regard, Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were sitting in the palace, were angry, but they also had words of suffering. They commanded more than 100,000 troops, as early as when they came to Chang'an from Anyi, they had been out of food for more than half a month, and after capturing Chang'an, most of the grain in the Taishi's Mansion and the palace was taken away by the soldiers of the Tiger Roaring Battalion. And so it goes. More than 100,000 Xiliang troops were short of food and grass, so they could only rush to grab grain to relieve their urgent needs, otherwise the officers and men in the army would have to starve.

It's a pity that the people don't know about the suffering of the Xiliang army. They only knew that the Xiliang soldiers were killing people and setting fires everywhere. Wanton looting, and there are many Xiliang soldiers who bully young women. Make the good Chang'an Imperial City into a miasma. Chickens fly and dogs jump. forced the people to have no stable life to live, and the people were not able to make a living.

After forcibly enduring for three days, Li Wei could no longer tolerate the situation of the Wuwei army occupying the northwest half of the city. He ordered Guo Yan to lead the army to recover the whole city, and also sent people to Longxiang Li Mansion to send an order, asking Li Li to immediately allocate the grain and grass needed by the 130,000 Xiliang army for half a year from Yiwu.

As soon as this order was issued, Guo Yan immediately led his army to confront the Wuwei army stationed in the west and north cities. It's just that both sides have scruples. There was no large-scale fight on the spot, but small-scale friction was staged one after another. Within half a day, there were casualties on both sides, but the Wuwei army showed strong combat effectiveness. The number of casualties among the soldiers was much smaller than that of the Xiliang army. Under the repeated conflicts, the Xiliang army suffered thousands of casualties, while the Wuwei army only suffered more than 200 casualties.

Such a disparity in the number of dead and wounded made Guo Yan and other generals quite jealous of the Wuwei army, and did not order the army to attack for a long time.

The two sides fought in small scale in the city for most of the day, and finally the two armies faced each other in the Beicheng school field. The soldiers on both sides looked at each other angrily, and the atmosphere was extremely dull and hot, and a big battle was about to break out.

In front of the Xiliang Army, Guo Bianlema stopped on the street, looking at the Wuwei Army on the opposite side with a gloomy face. In front of the Wuwei Army's military formation, Huan Fei, the commander of the Tiger Roaring Battalion, and Pang De, the commander of the Qinglong Battalion, were also staring at Guo Yan and the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops behind him.

In the stalemate, Guo Yan was waiting for Li Li to appear, while Huan Fei and Pang De were also waiting for the general order of the lord Li Li.

However, where is Li Li at this time?

—————————————————

"The bird is dying, and its song is mourning; When a man is about to die, his words are good. Wuwei Li Li, affectionate and righteous, with clear grievances, is a true husband in the world! Wang Yun is unauthored. ”

In a private house in Gejiapo, He Ying looked at the contents of the brocade silk with a sad expression, and two lines of tears rolled down in an instant.

After a while, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, turned to the sergeant who came to deliver the letter, and asked, "I know that my father is dead, but this is not my father's handwriting. Where did it come from, Li Wenchang weishenme wanted to send this letter? ”

The soldier who delivered the letter was Li Li's personal soldier. After hearing this, the soldiers whispered to He Ying: "Miss Yu, this letter is indeed not written by the Taishi himself, but copied from the wall of the south gate of the palace. In the middle of the night four days ago, Taishi didn't want to fall into the hands of the Xiliang army, so he hit 、、、、、、"

"Alright, you go out!" Just as the soldiers told the story of Wang Yun's death, Li Li pushed the door and walked in, and immediately asked the soldiers to retreat.

"Li Wenchang, you say, what's going on?" Seeing Li Li come in, He Ying took the letter in her hand, walked up to Li Li in two steps, and asked angrily.

Ling Zun died at the south gate of the palace in the middle of the night four days ago, and before he died, he wrote this line on the city wall with the blood on his hands. Afterwards, my uncle collected Ling Zun's body and ordered him to be buried with the courtesy of a prince. Today is the day of Ling Zun's burial, I came to see you, and by the way, I will bring you this Ling Zun's last words. This line of blood is still preserved on the wall of the south gate, if you don't believe it, you can check it out for yourself after Chang'an City stabilizes. Li Li said in a calm whisper.

"Woooooo Before she could finish listening to Li Li's words, He Ying was so sad that she took a few steps back, and then fell on the side of the bed and cried bitterly.

Li Li stood in the middle of the low room, looking at He Ying's sad appearance, and had the heart to step forward to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say or what to say. So he could only stand in place, listening to He Ying's crying in his ears, but his deep eyes looked at the mountains outside the window, silent.

He Ying buried her head alone and cried for a long time, until she was tired of crying and her voice was hoarse. It gradually stopped. Immediately, she glared at Li Li with red and swollen eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Li Wenchang, I saw the maids in the palace two days ago, and I also know that your soldiers broke into the palace before Li Dao and Guo Yan's army broke through the city and kidnapped the Empress Dowager He, the son of heaven. You say, you obviously have a chance to save my father, weishenme didn't save him? ”

"Yes, you're right. The Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother are in my hands, and they have been transferred to Yiwu yesterday. The soldiers of the Tiger Roar Battalion under my command met Wang Yun before leaving the palace, and they did not kill him. But they didn't take him out of the city either. You ask me if I don't save him, then can you tell me that I want to save him? Li Li sat on the wooden bench with a calm face and asked softly.

"Humph!" He Ying snorted angrily and immediately turned her head. Don't look at Li Li's expressionless handsome face.

Suddenly, the room was silent. Li Li still sat on the wooden stool next to the bed with a calm face. The eyes are clear and silent.

After a while, Li Li got up and said, "In the afternoon, you will move to the courtyard in the east, which is too simple to live for a long time." I will leave two maids to talk to you, and a team of 100 guards to guard the house. The deceased is gone. Don't be too sad, take care. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

"Wait!" After He Ying heard Li Li's footsteps, she immediately got up and stood up. Then he walked behind Li Li and asked softly, "You asked me to move to your backyard to live, do you want to go?" ”

"Yes. Early this morning, Xin'er and the others moved into Yiwu, and all the Gejiapo garrisons were stationed in Yiwu. It's quiet and safe, and the people are simple and kind, so you can rest assured. If you need anything, or if you lack any utensils, you can just order your own soldiers, and they will arrange it for you. Li Li stood at the door of the room and said with his back to He Ying.

He Ying walked quickly to the door, stood in front of Li Li, and asked indignantly, "Do you want to leave me in this mountain col for the rest of your life?" Am I a burden to you, is it annoying, you hate me so much? ”

Looking at He Ying's unrelenting expression, Li Li frowned slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Then he said in a calm tone: "If you want a quiet, carefree life, this is for you." If something happens in Chang'an again, I will send someone to take you to a safe place in advance. In short, what I Li Li said, I will definitely do it. Okay, please get out of the way, I do have a lot of things to attend to. ”

"Don't let it! Your words count, don't I He Ying count when I speak? I clearly told you at the beginning that between you and Lu Bu, I chose to follow you for the rest of my life. Wang Ying stretched out her hand to block the door and said with a stubborn expression.

After a pause, she raised the letter in her hand and said excitedly: "Seeing what is written on the letter, when my father was dying, he said that you Li Li is a husband with affection and righteousness and clear grievances!" Now that my father is dead, and Cousin Hongchang is also your wife, and I have no relatives anymore, do you want to abandon me? ”

Before the words fell, He Ying's tears came out of her eyes again, and she looked at Li Li with teary eyes.

The so-called Chu Chu is moving, I see pity, nothing more than this.

"It's 、、、、、、 okay, the situation in Chang'an has been turbulent recently, so you can live here for the time being. After I take care of the affairs of Chang'an, I will send someone to pick you up. Li Li shook his head helplessly, and said to He Ying in a soft tone.

"Okay, that's what you said. If you don't come to pick me up at that time, then I will go directly to your house to find Li Xin, and then tell her that you have abandoned me in chaos and occupied my body, but you don't care about my life or death! He Ying said slyly with a smile.

Li Li smiled bitterly and said, "I'm out of sight." Before, I thought you were a well-read, gentle and virtuous lady, but now it seems that you women are the same, it's too difficult! ”

He Ying looked at Li Li's helpless expression, smiled, and then stretched out her hand to gesture in front of Li Li.

Li Li suddenly took two steps back and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?" How do you move your hands and feet in broad daylight? ”

He Ying glanced at Li Li charmingly, and whispered with a crimson cheek: "Remember to leave me some haode silk, as long as the dark red, dark cyan and black fabrics, I live here alone, I have to find something to do!" Okay, here you go. ”

After He Ying made a gesture in front of and behind Li Li, she walked to the side of the bed in shame, turned her back to Li Li, and urged him to leave.

Li Li's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he strode out of the door, and said as he walked: "I have prepared all these things for you, and I also deliberately left some new clothes styles for you to make more clothes for yourself, so you don't need to save money." In addition, there are a lot of piano, chess, pen and ink and books, you won't be too lonely、、、、、、"

After Li Li left, He Ying ran to the door quickly, looked at Li Li's back affectionately, and looked at it for a long time. It wasn't until the sun was blazing and the heat was unbearable that she reluctantly turned around and walked into the door, muttering to herself: "This conscienceless person came to comfort me, but he sat like a log for a long time, and couldn't even say a comforting word, which is really stupid." Father, your last words may have been left to your daughter, who has found her own happiness———。 ”
