The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Qinghe, Cui family.

More than ten days have passed since Cui Wei united with more than 20 aristocratic families to put pressure on the court, but there was no response from the court at all.

The young Emperor of the Tang Dynasty showed no intention of being angry about this, nor did he mean to compromise with his family. In short, there were only four words - silence in response.

And this silence, for some reason, made Cui Wei faintly feel a great sense of uneasiness, like the calm before the storm.

Cui Mansion, in the study.

Cui Wei drank tea made from ginseng slices, with a trace of exhaustion between his brows that could not be concealed.

In order to promote the alliance of various aristocratic families, he spent a lot of energy, and at the same time he also planned to jointly exert pressure. Otherwise, the power of the major aristocratic families would not be able to work together and it would be difficult to cause real trouble to the court.

"Ugh."

After drinking ginseng tea, Cui Wei felt a little better, but after putting down the tea cup, he couldn't help but sigh.

Cui Feng, the eldest son who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but said: "Father, why are you so worried? Isn't everything going smoothly now?"

"The court is silent now. I guess His Majesty is also struggling. If this continues, it won't be long before he compromises with us, right?"

Cui Wei shook his head and said, "It's just because it went so smoothly that I felt worried. I always felt that Li Chengdao shouldn't have reacted like this."

Li Chengdao attacked the Turks in the north, conquered Tubo in the west, and brought peace to the troubled times. For an emperor with such unparalleled martial arts skills, coupled with his young age, such silence was completely out of character for him.

Cui Wei was even prepared for Li Chengdao to go on a killing spree and discussed with the major families. If Li Chengdao really refused to compromise and sent troops to suppress it, they would join forces to overthrow the Li Tang imperial power and elect a new family to come to power.

More than twenty aristocratic families united definitely have this energy.

You must know that the Cui family alone has private soldiers hidden in Qinghe County. They usually work as servants and work as farmers and mulberry fields, but when they are equipped, they become an army!

Although the combat effectiveness will not be as good as the elite regular army of the Tang Dynasty, it is not much different, because many of them are veterans from the battlefield.

The Cui family's twenty thousand might not be enough, but if more than twenty aristocratic families were to unite together, the total number of private soldiers would definitely be a terrifying number!

Such a large number of troops is enough for them to attack Chang'an in a short time.

This is the reason why aristocratic families are scary. For example, Qinghe County is the territory of the Cui family. They have private soldiers here and the court cannot control them and they don't know about them.

Coupled with the influence of major aristocratic families in the court, as well as other generals in the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, it is not impossible to subvert the imperial power.

But although Cui Wei was well prepared, Li Chengdao didn't seem to have any intention of using troops to suppress it. The news from all parties was normal. Li Chengdao had several elite armies, whether they were the Weizhou Army, the Beggar Army, the Jingzhou Army or The white-robed troops were all staying at their respective stations.

"Father, you must be worrying too much. With the pressure of more than 20 aristocratic families, how dare your Majesty to act rashly? We will send someone to find out what he says in a few days."

Cui Feng smiled and reassured, not worried at all.

"Well, I hope so."

Cui Wei nodded, feeling relieved a little, and then accompanied by Cui Feng, he returned to the room to rest.

He was actually more inclined to Cui Feng's idea. Li Chengdao would never be stupid enough to shake the imperial power in order to reform the imperial examination.

After all, the real foundation of the Tang Dynasty was the aristocratic families like them. It was a very stupid idea for Li Chengdao to try to put the poor men above them.

"Bam—!"

Just when Cui Wei was about to lie down and rest, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open violently. Cui Feng, who had just left, stumbled into the study with a look of panic on his face.

"what happened?"

Cui Wei was shocked when he saw this, stepped forward to support Cui Feng, and asked with a frown.

Cui Feng said in horror: "A large number of troops suddenly appeared outside Qinghe County and are now attacking! There is also a group of thieves who have attacked the mansion. Father, follow me quickly -"

Cui Feng's voice stopped suddenly, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, covering Cui Wei's face with blood.

Cui Wei lowered his head blankly, and saw the tip of a sharp horizontal knife emerging from Cui Feng's throat.

Behind Cui Feng, a man in black attire with his face covered pulled the knife back.

"Ho..."

Cui Feng's lips moved twice, but in the end he couldn't say anything and fell down directly.

Cui Wei stared blankly at Cui Feng dying in front of him, and looked up in a daze at the strange killer in front of him.

The latter had already walked towards him with a knife, and he caught a glimpse of the killer's waist. There was a gold medal with the word "dark" engraved on it, which was the style of the palace.

It turned out to be the case.

……

In Cui's mansion, there was a loud cry.

Hundreds of black-clad and masked killers broke into the mansion and killed everyone they saw. The guard servants in the mansion were vulnerable to these killers of unknown origins. Bodies could be seen everywhere in the mansion, and it was a bloody mess. scene.

Outside Qinghe County, an army of tens of thousands of people was forcibly attacking Qinghe County. They were uniformly dressed in white robes and had a Li-ziwang flag flapping in the wind.

This army is the White Robe Army!

In Qinghe County, Cui Hu and Cui Zhiwen were unaware of the tragedy that happened in Cui's mansion. They were leading Cui's 20,000 private soldiers to confront the white-robed army.

"Isn't the White Robe Army stationed in Luoyang? Why are they here! Why haven't we received any news!"

Cui Zhiwen's face was extremely pale and his voice was trembling.

They were always on guard against Li Chengdao sending troops to suppress them, and they were always paying attention to the movements of every army under Li Chengdao!

Why did the White Robe Army appear here!

"Snapped--!"

Cui Hu slapped Cui Zhiwen directly and roared with an ugly face: "Now is not the time to be discouraged! We must stop them so that other aristocratic families can bring reinforcements!"

As long as they hold on, until other aristocratic families find out about the fighting situation on Cui's side, they will raise troops to support them, and then they will besiege Chang'an together!

Hearing Cui Hu's roar, Cui Zhiwen calmed down for a moment, but the next scene gradually filled his face with a look of horror.

Among the white-robed troops, Xue Wanche rode out, then waved his hand expressionlessly.

One after another, the ten-company crossbows were carried out and placed in front of the white-robed army formation, aiming at the Cui family's private soldiers.

After being dismantled and imitated by the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, there are now more than a thousand strong crossbows of the Tenth Company, and they have become the standard equipment of all the powerful armies under Li Chengdao!

A total of ten-company crossbows were carried out!

Xue Wanche looked at the enemy troops in front of him, with a hint of cruelty and coldness on his lips.

Being an enemy of His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty is unforgivable! !

His crime...should be punished!

"Fire the arrow——!!!"..
