They left Dingxiang.
Li Ke did not approach Chang 'an directly.
Instead, he temporarily left the army and headed straight for Fan Yang, Hebei.
Outside Fan Yang City.
He caught up with the older Turkic female captive who was being escorted by Li Jing's second son, Li Dejiang, to Hebei for temporary placement.
"Your Highness Wu Wang."
Li Dejiang cupped his hands towards Li Ke, his face full of reverence.
Li Ke exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, then whispered into his ear.
Not long after.
Li Dejiang looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"Your Highness..."
With a face full of disbelief, he said in a low voice,""If we do this, we will definitely offend the Lu family of Fan Yang!”
Li Ke's lips curled into a cold arc as he said,""It's not that this king has offended them, but that they have already offended this king!
If you're unwilling to help this king, then take it that this king didn't say anything.”
Li Dejiang looked at the leisurely Li Ke, gritted his teeth, and nodded fiercely."Don't worry, Your Highness! I will definitely do this properly!”
He was very clear.
No matter what Li Ke's background was, if there were no accidents, he would definitely be the one to inherit the throne in the future!
Now was such a good opportunity to cling onto a thigh. Although the risk was slightly higher, he definitely could not let it go!
Li Ke patted his shoulder and nodded,"Then I'll leave this matter to Brother De Jiang.”
I call you Brother De Ji.
Li Dejiang's face instantly turned red.
He patted his chest fiercely and said,"I don't dare to call you that, Your Highness. I will definitely do my best for this matter!”
Li Ke nodded.
"If that's the case, then this king can rest assured. Tonight, this king will personally go up to the city tower and watch Brother De Jiang's performance."”
Li Dejiang thumped his chest loudly. After a while, he turned around to make arrangements.
...
The Lu family of Fanyang was from the surname Jiang, a descendant of the State of Qi. Because of the fief of Luyi, they were given the surname Lu.
Shizu Lu Ao (about 275- 195 B.C.), known as Yongxi, was called by Emperor Qin Shi Huang as a doctor of the Five Classics and moved to Fanyang (now Gucheng Town, Dingxing County, Hebei Province). After his descendants moved to Zhuoshui (now Zhuozhou, Hebei Province), they settled in Zhuo and took Fanyang as the prefecture. Later generations called them Fanyang people (that is, the origin of the Lu family of Fanyang).
Lu Zhi, the ancestor, was famous for Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty and started his foundation. Lu Yu of the Three Kingdoms was promoted to Sikong of Cao Wei. Later, Lu Qin, Lu Wei, Lu Zhi and Lu Chen successively held high positions. When Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lu Xuan "first accepted the order" and entered the court. Lu became a first-class noble family in the north.
Northern Wei Dingyi and the other big surnames were Wang, Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng (these five surnames only referred to the north, not the whole country). They went through Western Wei to Northern Zhou, then from Sui to Tang.
It was one of the top noble families in the world.
The entire Fan Yang.
There were more than ten thousand direct descendants of the Lu family, and there were also tens of thousands of people who had inherited the bloodline.
It could be said.
In the entire Fanyang City, almost everyone was inextricably linked to the Lu family and belonged to the Lu family's sphere of influence.
That night.
In the ancestral hall of the Lu family in Fanyang.
The higher-ups of the Lu family gathered.
"The Turkic prisoners have already settled outside the city.”
The Lu Family Patriarch stroked his beard and continued,""The King of Wu, Li Ke, is arrogant and ignorant. Does he think that we will let him off just because he sent these slaves over?”
Instantly.
In the ancestral shrine, the higher-ups of the Lu family laughed one after another, their eyes filled with mockery.
"So what if Li Ke has the courage that ten thousand men can't match? How could he be nameless if he wanted to exist in the world? And this name just so happens to be in the hands of our aristocratic families!”
"After pacifying the Turks in a single battle, such a heaven-shaking achievement could only be compromised and send us such a great gift.”
"Haha…a junior, how can we, as elders, reject gifts?”
"If you don't accept this gift, wouldn't it be saying that we're not giving you face? However, we don't have any other promises!”
In the ancestral shrine, these Lu Clan higher-ups whispered among themselves.
His face was full of greed, and his smile was full of sarcasm towards Li Ke.
However, just as they were laughing at Li Ke.
Suddenly!
Screams rose from the huge ancestral mansion of the Lu family in Fanyang, which was as big as a small city.
Under the cold moonlight.
He didn't know when.
The city gates of Fan Yang opened.
The hundred thousand Turkic slaves outside the city rushed into Fanyang City and into the ancestral home of the Lu family.
Early in the afternoon, Li Ke had secretly ordered people to collect a large amount of medicinal herbs for animals from the Turks and throw them into the Lu family's water source.
The Turkic female slaves rushed in like wolves and tigers. They rushed into the room in groups of three to five and threw all the men of Fan Yang and Lu Shi to the ground. They were in the midst of the terrified screams of all the people of Fan Yang and Lu Shi.
Without any prelude, he immediately started working!
One.
Two.
Three.
In order to survive, the one hundred thousand Turkic women took turns to attack all the men of the Lu family who were already functional, leaving them in shambles until they fainted.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang.
The door of the Lu Ancestral Temple was violently blasted open.
These crazy Turkic women directly threw these old Lu elders to the ground.
Soon after.
An old howl.
The sky above the Lu family ancestral mansion shook continuously.
In the city, many people heard the commotion and rushed over.
Soon after.
He saw such a terrifying and envious scene.
Fan Yang Lu.
After being conquered by the Turkic slaves, all the males were taken advantage of by these female slaves.
Even the news of the hundreds of clansmen in the clan being forcefully squeezed dry and dying soon spread from Fanyang City to the surrounding areas at a crazy speed.
The next day.
Li Ke left Fan Yang and caught up with the elite of Xiao Wei Camp, heading towards Chang 'an at his fastest speed.
"Hehe…Fishing Vessel War? But you aristocratic families care more about your reputation than I do!”
Two
days passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside Chang 'an City, Li Shimin personally led the civil and military officials to wait for Li Ke's return at the bank of the Wei River.
In the crowd, the people of the aristocratic families, who were led by Fan Yang and Lu shi, exchanged glances with each other for a moment, and the corners of their mouths curled up into a cold smile.
They wanted to make things difficult for Li Ke under such circumstances.
Using the surging public sentiment to punish Li Ke and suppress the Emperor!
As long as his goal was achieved.
The royal family's reputation would definitely plummet.
The prestige of the aristocratic families would reach an unprecedented peak!
