Chapter 13 Section 5 Succeeding Relocation and Fake Surrender

Although Li Jiqian escaped, his army was almost wiped out, and his mother and wife were captured alive by the Song army. Now Li Jiqian can be said to have nothing.So Li Jiqian was in a desperate situation, how did he make a comeback? Although Li Jiqian was young, he was very politically minded. He restored and strengthened his power by marrying local powerful men.Ask everyone you meet: Is your family short of a son-in-law?He almost married all the powerful daughters of the local area.It is said in the history books: "Jiqian reunited and married wealthy families, and the transfer was impermanent, and gradually became stronger, while Westerners often returned to them with the kindness of the Li family." ("Song History" Volume 485) Li Jiqian's The family has a great influence in the local area. The local people are grateful for Li's kindness. Now Li Jiqian is married to them again, so they all belong to them.

The imperial court urged Cao Guangshi, the inspection envoy of the four prefectures, to send troops to attack Li Jiqian.Cao Guangshi is also a famous general, inspector of the four prefectures, according to our current level, it is also at the level of Zhengda Military Region.Although Li Jiqian's power continued to grow and develop, Cao Guangshi's army was an official army after all, well-equipped and well-trained. After several fights, Li Jiqian fell behind.Under such circumstances, Li Jiqian revised a letter to Cao Guangshi, General Cao I accepted, the imperial army was still powerful, so I decided to surrender.Let me talk about a place, we are still the same way, make blood for alliance, as long as we two make blood for alliance, I will surrender to the imperial court, and the Westerners will never turn back.Cao Guangshi took a look, this scene was much like Li Jing, Duke Wei of the Tang Dynasty, surrendering Tuoba Chici!So he was very proud, if he could accomplish this feat, I would be Li Weigong of the dynasty, so he set off with more than 30 cavalry without thinking too much.Cao "Wei Guogong" went to meet Li "Tuoba Chici", perhaps in order to highlight the greatness of Cao "Wei Guogong", the historical records did not record whether there was a large army behind him, and Li "Tuoba Chici" was really desperate at the time Yes, and most of the party members at that time should still be very simple, as long as the blood-staining ceremony is held, it will not be repeated.But who is Li Jiqian?His surname is no longer Tuoba, and the Li family has been entrenched in Xiazhou for so many years, and they have long been deeply influenced by the culture of conspiracy and cunning in the Central Plains, and they are no longer the party members of the past.Cao "Guo Wei Gong" didn't even think about it, he led dozens of people and came here carelessly. After arriving at the place, before he got off his horse and hadn't waited to speak, Li Jiqian's ambushes were everywhere, and arrows were fired at random. The arrow died, and dozens of cavalry were not spared.According to historical records, Li Jiqian "successfully attacked Yinzhou and took possession of it.... In March, he broke Huizhou and burned the city and left" ("Song History" volume 485).Didn't Li Jipeng dedicate all his territory to the imperial court?Now Li Jiqian has begun to harm these states, and will never let the court take advantage of it.

Seeing that Cao Guang was actually killed in battle, the imperial court had no choice but to continue to send famous soldiers to fight against him.The famous general sent this time was Wang Yu, the one who supervised Pan Mei and forced Yang Ye to death during Yongxi's Northern Expedition in the Song Dynasty.Wang Yu led the troops to come here this time, defeated Li Jiqian, beheaded more than 5,000 people, and forced Li Jiqian to flee again.
