The Huangchao rebel army swept like a storm sweeping leaves, pointing directly at Chang'an. Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Xizong hurriedly fled Chang'an and took refuge in Chengdu. The officials of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to argue with Huang Chao at all, and surrendered on their knees, while Huang Chao took advantage of the situation to sit on the throne of the emperor and establish the Great Qi State.
Seeing that Huang Chao was the emperor, Tang Xizong, who was far away in Chengdu, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. At this time, Cheng Jingsi, the secretary of the military department, stepped forward to offer advice, and he proposed to ask Li Ke, the king of Shatuo, to send troops to help in the war. Where is this Li Keyong sacred?
Li Keyong's father was a Turkic, named Zhu Xie Chixin, who was given the surname Li by the imperial court and renamed Guochang because of his outstanding military exploits. Li Keyong has been fighting with his father since he was a child, and he is proficient in horseback archery, brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, so he was named a soldier and horse envoy.
Later, Uncle Duan Wen didn't know the height of the sky, which provoked Li Keyong, and was sent to the west by Li Ke with a hammer. When Tang Xizong heard the news, he was so angry that he couldn't wait to cut Li Ke with a thousand knives. Fortunately, Li Keyong's good friend and Cheng Jingsi, the secretary of the military department, came forward to intercede, and Li Keyong was sent to the barren northwest Shatuo to rest the horse.
In Shatuo, Li Keyong was not idle, he recruited troops and horses, established himself as the "King of Shatuo", raised an army of 400,000 under his command, and stationed in Jinlianchuan. This momentum is simply a little emperor!
Cheng Jingsi saw it in his eyes, and knew in his heart that Tang Xizong still had to use this Li Ke. So, he volunteered to ask Tang Xizong for an order to let Li Keyong go out of the mountain. When Tang Xizong heard this, he forgot all the previous grievances, and immediately named Li Keyong as the king of Jin and the generalissimo of the nest-breaking soldiers and horses.
Cheng Jingsi found Li Keyong and persuaded him, Li Keyong felt that this was an opportunity, and he couldn't stay in the mountains for the rest of his life. After some thought, Li Keyong finally decided to take his army of 400,000 and drive to the Central Plains. They walked and walked, and finally came to a place called Feihu Mountain.
That night, Li Keyong, who never dreamed, had a dream. He dreamed of a colorful tiger with wings under its ribs and swooping down on him. Rick woke up from a dream, sweating. He didn't know what the dream meant, but the uneasiness in his heart was like a seed, quietly taking root and sprouting.
Li Keyong invited the military advisor Zhou Dewei to tell the dream of last night with a mysterious face. After hearing this, Zhou Dewei smiled and told Li Keyong that this dream was a big dream, indicating that they were about to get a fierce general. Li Keyong believed in his military advisor very much, and was very happy after hearing it.
The next day, after a long march, Li Keyong decided to give his men a short rest. He, Cheng Jingsi, and Zhou Dewei took five hundred followers and went to Feihu Mountain to hunt in high spirits. The group shuttled through the woods, and suddenly, a fierce tiger crossed the mountain stream and pounced on a herd of innocent goats. I'm about to fall into the tiger's mouth!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the tiger, and they didn't know that on a boulder next to him, a teenager was sleeping peacefully. When Li Keyong found out, he motioned to his entourage to wake him up, so as not to be injured by the tiger. When the boy was awakened, he rubbed his eyes, yawned, and then jumped off the boulder and walked fearlessly towards the tiger that was biting the sheep.
Seeing this, the tiger jumped and pounced on the boy. But the young man was agile, dodged sideways, and at the same time stretched out his right hand and tightly clamped the tiger's neck, instantly knocking the tiger to the ground. He swung his left fist and slammed the tiger, and although the tiger wanted to fight back, the boy's right hand was as strong as an iron pincer, and after a few punches, the tiger was knocked unconscious. In the end, the boy actually lifted the tiger above his head and threw it into the boulder, and the tiger suddenly screamed for his life.
This scene made Li Keyong and others stunned. The bravery and skill shown by the young man seem to confirm Zhou Dewei's prediction.
Li Keyong and his party were deeply shocked by the heroism of the young man, and Zhou Dewei whispered to Li Keyong: "The tiger in your dream is probably referring to this young man." Li Keyong was very happy when he heard this, and immediately beckoned the young man to come forward and chat.
Although the young man was not very tall, his eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit. The young man looked at everyone and introduced himself as An Jingsi, who is only seventeen years old this year, is an orphan, and was adopted by the kind Deng Yuanwai, and usually herds sheep for a living.
Li Keyong then asked him: "Little brother, would you like to follow me, march and fight together, and be a majestic general? It is better to be an upright man than to herd sheep?" After hearing this, An Jingsi knelt down without hesitation to express his willingness.
Li Keyong was even more excited, and recognized An Jingsi as his righteous son on the spot, and renamed him Li Cunxiao, becoming his thirteenth Taibao. Then, he asked Li Cunxiao to show off his skills. Li Cunxiao was also unambiguous, and picked up the weapon casually and began to practice. Knives, guns, swords, halberds, he is proficient in everything, every move and style is so calm and powerful, tiger and tiger.
Li Keyong felt that such a powerful move must not be self-taught. After some inquiry, it turned out that Li Cunxiao's master was one of the two heroes in Shandong. Yu Taiyu passed on his peerless thirty-six road overlord lance to Li Cunxiao. With this martial art, coupled with his innate divine power, Li Cunxiao is like a tiger with wings, even more powerful and invincible.
After the martial arts exercise, Li Keyong was full of praise for Li Cunxiao's performance and rewarded him with a Tang Yi armor on the spot. Li Cunxiao also took out a peculiar weapon from his arms, which was the Yuwang Divine Lance given by his master, also known as the Tang Pestle or Bi Yan Laos. This weapon danced vigorously in his hands, and it was dazzling to watch.
Tang Yi armor, it is said that Lu Bu once wore this armor, and left the legend of "Tang Ni Jia" after his death. Tang Yi armor is known for its tenacity and protective performance, which can resist the damage of sharp weapons, and is an important equipment for the protection of generals.
Yuwang Shenqi is an unusually heavy weapon, its basic shape is an iron rod in front of a hand cast, there are many shapes of the hand, including "finger", "palm", "fist", "horizontal" and so on. The use of this weapon is very difficult, and it cannot be controlled by those who are not infinitely powerful. The origin of Yuwang Shenqi is related to Yu's water control. It is said that Dayu used this weapon to open mountains and chisel stones when controlling the water.
Li Keyong looked at the newly adopted son in front of him, and his heart was extremely happy. He knew that he had really picked up a treasure this time. Li Cunxiao also began his military career and became a fierce general under Li Keyong.
