Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 5 A general who doesn't want to go to Luoyang is not a good general
grab?
Who to rob?

How to grab it?

Li Shuang originally thought that as a Hu person, this should be the beast instinct integrated into his blood.

Do I need to learn this?
But it turns out that environment is everything.

Erzhu Rong, a Khitan, had long lost the fine traditions of his ancestors who lived by following water and grass, braving poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, and fighting against ice, snow, wind and frost on the grassland.

In short, it’s Chinese!
After Erzhu Rong sobered up, he took him and Yuan Tianmu to the study, took out a map, and drooled at the sight of the vast land, but didn't know where to start.

Finally, Erzhu Rong looked at Li Shuang.

"Tianba, what do you think?"

"For the general's sake, we should first annex Nan Xiurong. With Nan Xiurong, we can increase our military supplies and strengthen ourselves."

After hearing this, Erzhu Rong's mind suddenly opened up, but he was still a little worried.

"What if the court blames me?"

"The Six Garrisons Rebellion is raging, and the Liang army is also advancing north. Luoyang is powerless. As long as the general can stabilize the situation, Luoyang will definitely rely on you to protect the court!"

Yuan Tianmu was listening to Erzhu Rong and Li Shuang's discussion from the side, which was actually close to treason.

However, as a member of the Northern Wei royal family, he did not feel any disgust after hearing it, but instead felt that it made sense.

Whether it is Erzhu Rong, Li Shuang, the Six Garrisons that are now in rebellion, or the large and small refugees and bandits in Shanxi, we can get an answer by tracing the source of these chaos.

The Northern Wei court moved its capital!

Luoyang is more suitable to be the capital of a country than Pingcheng, and no one can say it wrong.

At that time, Tuoba Gui moved the capital to Pingcheng and established the Dai military group.

The six garrisons that defended against the Rouran in the north and the Erzhu clan that provided military horses to Pingcheng all provided military support for this group.

But after the imperial court moved its capital, all this changed.

Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has fallen into decline, let alone other places?
The once glorious Six Garrison soldiers have now become despised and treacherous soldiers.

Erzhu was able to rely on her past relationships to travel between Xiurong and Luoyang, appearing to be doing well on the surface, but she was having a hard time inside.

The key point is that the Six Garrisons and the Erzhu family all have knives in their hands!
The Six Garrisons had already rebelled, and the Erzhu family was more clear-headed than the Six Garrisons.

Yuan Tianmu saw it clearly, so he chose to join the Erzhu family.

Li Shuang and Erzhu Rong were getting more and more heated in their discussion, and Yuan Tianmu interrupted at the right time.

"Before heading south, we have to deal with one person first. Please help me!"

Qi Fu Mo Yu was also the leader of the Hu people who surrendered to Xiurong, but as a newly migrated tribe, it was fundamentally different from the century-old Xiurong tribe like the Erzhu clan.

The court arranged him in Beixiurong with the intention of letting him and Erzhu Rong check and balance each other.

"Once we head south, Qifu Moyu will probably seize the opportunity to annex the Erzhu clan's territory and people."

Erzhu Rong was full of murderous intent.

"Then get rid of him first!"

Yuan Tianmu shook his head.

"Attacking and killing Qi Fu Mo Yu for no reason will make Li Chong and Yuan Shen unhappy."

The two were in a dilemma, and finally, they both looked at Li Shuang.

Li Shuang was stunned.

Is it necessary to think about such a simple thing?

"If he rebels, then we can suppress him. Wouldn't that be justified?"

After all, Erzhu Rong and Yuan Tianmu were both from the official army, and were not as lawless as Li Shuang.

If someone is falsely accused of rebellion, once such a thing is exposed, it will be a serious crime that will result in the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family.

"Brothers, you don't dare, do you?" Li Shuang smiled. Erzhu Rong and Yuan Tianmu both felt that they were pushed to the edge of a cliff.

If they did so, they would be dragged into the water by Li Shuang and tied to the same boat from then on.

Seeing the two of them hesitate, Li Shuang looked at Erzhu Rong and said:
"Destroy Qifumoyu and capture Nanxiurong. We should attack close first and then move farther away, avoiding the sharp edge of the Six Garrisons and hiding from the eyes and ears of the government troops. We should accumulate strength and wait for an opportunity to seize Jinyang. Then we can unify Heng, Shuo, Si, Bing, Fen, and Guang provinces. One day, the general will march south to Luoyang and command the entire world."

Erzhu Rong was deeply moved by Li Shuang's words. He no longer hesitated and immediately bowed and said:
"Tianba's words are exactly what Tianmu and I think. I have a bold idea..."
-
"Brother, you're back!"

Erzhu Ying'e looked at Erzhu Zhao who was returning with a hundred Qihu knights, and stood at the intersection to greet him.

"Ying'e, why don't you look happy?"

Erzhu Zhao loved his sister Erzhu Ying'e very much since childhood, and Erzhu Ying'e also liked her brave brother Erzhu Zhao.

"How could I be happy? You said you were going to give that little bastard Li Shuang a lesson, but where did you end up?"

Erzhu Zhao didn't dare to say that he was frightened by Li Shuang's hundreds of armored knights and couldn't move, so he kept it vague.

"Something happened. Where are the others?"

"He's already here. Father and Uncle Tianmu were drinking with him last night. He hasn't left the house yet and won't let anyone get close to him. I wonder what he's doing?"

"Ying'e, don't worry. Now that he's here, we'll have plenty of ways to deal with him later."

After getting Erzhu Zhao's consent, Erzhu Ying'e calmed down a little.

Even so, the little pearls of grievance in her heart continued to flow out.

Erzhu Zhao looked at it and comforted him.

"I know you can't go to Luoyang, but there's no need to do so. There will still be opportunities in the future."

Erzhu Ying'e said:

"I'm not unhappy about not being able to go to Luoyang. I never wanted to be the little emperor's concubine in the first place."

"Then why are you so aggrieved?"

"Brother, you don't know. That little bastard scared me and locked me in a dark room... I've never seen such a hateful person in my life!"

At this moment, news came from Erzhu Rong's personal guards.

"The Lord wants you to go to the palace. He has news to announce."

Erzhu Rong's orders were of the highest order in the 300-li Xiurongchuan area.

Even Erzhu Zhao did not dare to neglect it.

When they arrived at the mansion, they saw that many members of the Erzhu family and their retainers had already gathered in the hall, including Erzhu Rong's wife, Princess Beixiang, and the women of the harem.

Erzhu Zhao and Erzhu Ying'e walked to the front, only to see three people standing in the middle of the hall.

Erzhu Rong stood in the center, Yuan Tianmu stood on Erzhu Rong's left, and on the other side was Li Shuang.

Erzhu Rong waited until everyone was present, and first looked at Erzhu Shilon, his cousin.

"Have all the people in Taiping Village been arranged?"

Erzhu Shilon looked somewhat similar to Erzhu Rong, but was a little rougher.

"It has been arranged, and their families have moved here."

Erzhu Rong nodded, and the heavy stone in his heart was put down. From now on, Li Shuang and he were truly people in the same boat.

Immediately, in front of the Erzhu clan members and retainers, he announced:

"I've summoned you all here to tell you something. I, Erzhu Rong, and my eldest brother Yuan Tianmu and third brother Li Shuang share a common aspirations. We are bound together by the sword of a white horse. From now on, you must serve them the same way you serve me."

In the crowd, Erzhu Ying'e looked incredulous.

What, that little bastard has become my uncle?
