"Yuyang, the next step is Zhuo County, Yingzhou, let's talk about it, how to fight?" Laying down Yuyang and taking the first step into the Central Plains, Zou Yu called a meeting and asked.

"Through the interrogation and the information we collected, Zhuo County stayed behind, General Xue Shixiong was defeated some time ago and was killed by Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande called himself the King of Xia, and Hu Benlang General Luo Yi, who led the governor of Youzhou, currently occupies Youzhou, Pingzhou, and Yingzhou, and once sent people to win over Gao Kaidao." Li Keshi introduced.

"Luo Yi is a subordinate uncle, his subordinates can persuade one or two, but there is no guarantee that he can see merit, he is a bit stubborn and very confident." Qin Qiong said.

"Since this is the case, it will be easy to do, General Shubao went to persuade him, if he returns in vain, we will make a decision, as for the Jixian County, the seat of Zhuo County, it must still be in the hands of the Xue family, General Xue Shixiong has seven sons, known as the Seven Tigers of Xuemen, they should stay behind, and the general will go to recruit in the name of the governor of Youzhou, there must be no problem." Li Keshi analyzed.

"That's a good thing, immediately send troops to Jixian County, General Shubao and Fang Zheng, Fang Zhi and the three of them went to Youzhou to persuade Luo Yi, telling him to wait for the bandits, a certain person will play, and make him the governor of Youzhou, commander Yi, You, Ping, and Ying. As for Yuyang, please trouble General Zhang to stay for the time being, and hand it over to her when Su Mei leads the rear army. Zou Yu ordered.

"Whoa!" Everyone responded in unison.

After Yuyang occupied, Zhang Zhongjian was left to guard, plus 5,000 young men were transferred, leaving 3,000 elites, which was enough to control.

As for the people's hearts, the tax exemption was announced for one year, and the land and houses were redivided, basically no one had an opinion, and if they did, the mining area was still waiting for them.

Even so, after Qin Qiong left, it took three days for the army to set off again, as for the county towns and villages near Yuyang, there were almost no populations, and when the rear army came up, it was slowly cleaned up.

……………

Taiyuan! Tang State Mansion.

"Erlang, how's the training going?" Tang Guogong Li Yuan asked with concern.

Some time ago, Liu Wuzhou, the captain of the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi, took advantage of the chaos in the world to kill Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi, opened a warehouse to help the poor, galloped into the territory, and won more than 10,000 soldiers, claiming to be the Taishou.

Li Yuan took the opportunity to say that he wanted to suppress the bandits, and began to recruit troops, recruiting 30,000 soldiers and horses, all of which were handed over to Li Shimin for training.

"Back to my father, the 30,000 army has been trained, and the other 5,000 cavalry are also fully equipped and ready to fight at any time." The young Li Shimin looks somewhat similar to Li Yuan, he can be called heroic and handsome, plus he has a tall figure and is quite extraordinary.

"That's great!" Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Father, let's do it, otherwise it will be too late to do it when Wagang Li Mi captures Luoyang." The other person who looked similar to Li Shimin and was a more elegant young man was Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng, who got up and persuaded him.

"It's... Let's talk about recruiting more people. Li Yuan said worriedly.

"Guogong can't hesitate, the Guanzhong family has already prepared, just wait for the Guogong army to arrive, and respond immediately." Li Yuan's friend Pei Lin followed and persuaded him.

"Yes, the relevant Long and other families responded, Guogong will definitely be overwhelmed all the way, Daxing is at your fingertips, occupy Daxing, and with the help of various families, why worry about the great cause." Another adviser, Liu Wenjing, followed and persuaded him.

"In this case, then raise troops, Wang Wei, can Gao Yajun be wooed?" Li Yuan saw that his son and friends were in favor of raising troops, so he made a decision, after all, he could survive under Yang Guang's watchful eye for so many years, and his IQ was not low.

"These two people don't get oil and salt, so they should be removed quickly!" Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"In that case, I'll leave it to Erlang." Li Yuan said in a flash.

"Whoa!"

"It's just that I'm waiting for the army to start, and it won't be good if the Turks take advantage of the weakness." Li Yuan frowned.

"The subordinates are willing to send envoys to the Turks to persuade Shibi Khan, but they just need some money." Liu Wenjing took the initiative to ask.

"It's not worth mentioning just a few things, just take as much as you need." Li Yuan said generously.

He is completely generous to others, since he has decided to raise troops, the treasures in Yang Guang's Taiyuan Palace will naturally be his own.

"The child wants to be a pioneer!" An ugly-looking man stood up and said loudly.

A trace of disgust flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and no one noticed it, and said with a kind smile on his face: "San Lang is brave and knows it well for his father, so this Taiyuan needs you to take care of it." ”

This person is Li Yuanji, the third son of Li Yuan, it is said that he was born with a strange and ugly appearance, and his mother Dou was unwilling to want it, so people lost it, and there was no resemblance to Li Yuan, compared to Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin was far from it.

"Yes! The child will not fail in his mission! Li Yuanji said excitedly.

At the end of June of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Taiyuan, killed Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and monitored Wang Wei and Gao Junya. Officially launched the army, Li Yuan himself was the general, with the eldest son Li Jiancheng and the second son Li Shimin as the left and right governors, and the fourth son Li Yuanji stayed in Taiyuan.

He also sent Liu Wenjing as an envoy to the Turks, which was supported by Shibi Khan, and sent Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to seize Xihe County.

On the fourth day of the seventh month, Li Yuan erected a white flag in front of the military gate of Qianyangmen Street in the east of Jinyang Palace, and appointed his fourth son Li Yuanji as the general of Zhenbei and the county guard of Taiyuan, and let him stay in Jinyang. In his oath, Li Yuan counted all kinds of sins of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and announced that he would "rejuvenate Jinyang, respect the residence, sweep Xianluo, and Jiningyu County." Then he waved his troops and pointed directly at Chang'an.

………………

When Li Yuan sent people to persuade the Turks, the others were not idle, Wagang Li Mi and Zhai Rang were storming Luoyang; Because Xue Shixiong died in battle, Yang Guang's henchman Wang Shichong took over the task of rescuing Luoyang and was organizing people. At this time, Zou Yu had already brought people to Jixian County.

"Hurry up and report to the general of Zhengdong, the governor of Youzhou is here, let your lord come to meet you!" One of the guards rode to the city and shouted.

"Wait a minute!" The Jixian guards hurriedly replied, they were really frightened by the army outside the city, but fortunately, Zou Yu and they were only far away, not close, and the cavalry also got off their horses to rest.

In fact, there is no need to report it, the Xue family brothers have quickly rushed to the city when they heard the sound of the warning gong.

"I heard that Your Majesty has sealed a general to conquer the east, how did you become a general, could it be a fraud?" Xue Wanshu, the second eldest of the Xue family, said.

"Look at the banner and equipment, unlike the bandits, they should have gone out to quell the rebellion, and His Majesty sealed it." Boss Xue Wanshu shook his head and said.

"In that case, what are we going to do?" The third Xue Wanjun frowned.

"Let's ask them what they want to do first!" Xue Wanshu suggested.

"Jixian Riding Captain Xue Wanshu is here! May I ask who is the great general outside the city? Why are the soldiers coming to the city? Xue Wanshu shouted loudly.
