Since the official residence of the Wuchuan Division was burned down and Li Yuanji left Bashu, the Wuchuan Division has been much more low-key, not arresting people at every turn like before, after a few months of silence, people are slowly daring to talk about political affairs in public, and now people are concerned about the two things that Li Mi was defeated and the Tang Emperor visited Bashu in the west.

Li Mi is already finished, there is nothing to talk about, just say it.

When the war between the Sui and Tang dynasties will come, whether the emperor's western tour is a prelude to moving the capital, and on the first day, the matter is in an uproar; And the next day, it was more like a raging fire with oil on top of it, and people who went in and out of wine shops, green houses, inns and other occasions were talking about it.

The whole thing feels like it's being pushed by an invisible force, and it feels like it's full of weirdness, a gloomy omen before a storm. However, two days passed in a flash, but the court did not say anything, and the emperor also said that he was not sick, and all state affairs were taken care of by the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

This is Li Yuan's power,

Because in the power struggle, it is an extremely clever means to provoke but not provoke, which means that when a major event occurs, there is no need to rush to deal with it, but let it develop, maintain a posture of waiting and watching what happens, and then strike a thunderous blow when the time is ripe.

On the one hand, he did not make a conclusion about the western tour and the relocation of the capital, but on the other hand, he raised public opinion high, and under the high pressure of this kind of stormy situation, people who are in a bad mood must be sincerely afraid, and then there will be flaws, which can give Li Yuan the best opportunity to make a move.

Two days is enough.

And Li Yuan seemed to think a little highly of his cousin, Dugu Cheng, the head of the Dugu family, had only been under pressure for more than a day, and he was a little restless by this strange atmosphere.

Things are just as Li Yuan's father and son guessed, the assassination of Li Shimin was the handiwork of the Dugu clan, and the intention was to make Li Yuan crazy in the pain of losing his son. It's just that Li Shimin had a big life and escaped. And this incident was as if it had never happened, which made Dugu Cheng worry that Li Yuan had caught the evidence and began to be suspicious, and he didn't think about how to lay out or deal with it at all.

This is Dugu Cheng's lack of experience, there was Dugu Cheng to shelter him from the wind and rain before, almost as long as he follows Dugu Cheng's train of thought, even if he becomes the head of the family, Dugu Cheng is still helping him behind the scenes, but after Dugu Cheng died, the pressure was on him, and the heavy burden made him a little unbearable. At this moment, he especially missed the deceased Dugu Cheng.

At this time, Dugu Cheng was frowning and thinking in the study, only to hear the housekeeper's voice sounding outside: "The head of the house, the head of the Yu family is here." ”

"Please." Hearing that Yu Yun was coming, Dugu Cheng was overjoyed.

Generally speaking, when any regime encounters a life-and-death crisis, the king will often be more suspicious of his subordinates, but at this time, there will always be a group of demons dancing in the court, and Li Tang is no exception.

Today, when the crisis of Li Tang is getting deeper and deeper, there are already many people who are unwilling to die for the Tang Dynasty, especially Li Tang has become a regime that is reckless and militaristic, and the people are caught in fire and water, so not only the family ruthlessly abandons it, but the ordinary people also hate it to the core.

In that year, Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goguryeo, laboring the people and hurting money, causing chaos in the world; Wang Shichong was reckless, Heluo was in turmoil, and the Kwantung scholars turned their backs; Li Mi was born in Caokou, which disgusted the celebrities, and Yang Tong abandoned the Shi clan like a broken shoe, and sent the children of the Shi clan to death. And the Li Tang Dynasty is rising, like the rising sun, Li Yuan attracts talents, and is humble and modest, which naturally attracts the attention of countless people.

However, in just a few years, the Li Tang Dynasty was ruined by Li Yuan's mistakes again and again, almost ruined in the internal struggle for power and profit, and many people's lives were also threatened, so how could these people who followed Li Yuan's anti-Sui not feel cold and how could they still serve Li Yuan, but they themselves didn't know where to go. It was also at this time that the Dugu clan was like a beacon, pointing out the direction for everyone, that is, to reduce the Sui and oppose the Tang Dynasty and make meritorious atonements.

Everyone thought it was good, so they boarded the Dugu clan's boat, including the Yu clan, which was related to the Dugu clan by marriage.

After a while, Yu Yun walked quickly into the study and saluted, "I've seen my brother." "Brother Xian, it's polite, sit down." Dugu Cheng smiled reluctantly, and when Yu Yun sat down, he asked: "Brother Xian, more than a day has passed, and the Holy Lord has neither replied to nor dealt with our petition, and the streets and alleys are talking about it, and the atmosphere is very wrong." ”

"Brother don't worry about this, this is a normal suggestion, even the Holy One can't find a way to deal with us, and the incident happened before the news of Li Mi's defeat came, and it is reasonable for us to oppose the Western Tour. Assuming that the saint really wants to investigate it, he will admit his mistake and say that he does not know about Li Mi, and change his words to say that Xiangyang has become the forefront of the war, and the imperial court is not safe here, and then work together to support him to move the capital. In short, it will not make him suspicious of us. Yu Yun said.

Dugu Cheng laughed dryly, he didn't tell Yu Yun about his assassination of Li Shimin, he was worried that Yu Yun knew that he acted without permission and was not successful, so he felt uncomfortable, so he simply stopped talking.

Yu Yun took a sip of tea, and continued: "I came to my brother today to talk more deeply about the matter of raising troops, I also told Huai En last time that my Yu family's soldiers have secretly assembled in the manor of Fangling, and there are as many as three or four thousand, and all of them are well-trained and well-equipped. I will fully support my brother's actions, plus the various families that advance and retreat with us, to say the least, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses, but our army is in its own way, and there are even contradictions between each other, and if there is no convincing general to lead it, it will be a rabble,"

Dugu Cheng also understands this truth, an army only has soldiers, if it is unscrupulous, it will never work, but he Dugu has no generals who can handle it, and if he is led by other families, I am afraid it will not be convincing, after thinking about it, he said: "What does the virtuous brother think of Dugu Yanyun?" ”

Dugu Yanyun is the grandson of the Sui Dynasty general Dugutun and the son of the right guard general Dugu Kai, they were originally surnamed Li, but because Dugutun was Duguxin's general before his career, he changed from Li Tun to Dugu Tun, and the previous generation continued. Dugu Yanyun's uncle is Dugu Sheng, the general of the right tunwei of the Sui Dynasty, when Yu Wenhua and launched the Jiangdu Palace Change, he took his son Dugu Monk Da, and his nephew Dugu Lingyun, Dugu Jingyun, and Dugu Tengyun fought desperately, and the father, son, uncle and nephew died of exhaustion.

Dugu Tun this vein, only Dugu Kai's son Dugu Qingyun, Dugu Yanyun two, compared to his brother, Dugu Yanyun is more good at military affairs, the two brothers were also canonized by Yang Tong, on behalf of their father and brother to receive the Sui Dynasty's posthumous gift, they can't bear to be damaged by their father and brother's loyalty, and did not serve in the Tang army, willing to be the Dugu family general.

"Dugu Yanyun?"

"Yes." Dugu Cheng nodded and said: "Dugu Qingyun received the county duke of his father Dugu Kai, and Dugu Yanyun inherited Dugu Sheng's county duke, nominally, he is already Dugu Sheng's son." Really counted, their brothers were all ministers of the Sui Dynasty, since we descended to the Sui and opposed the Tang Dynasty, if Dugu Yanyun took out the identity of the Sui Dynasty, it would be more convincing. ”

Yu Yun thought for a while, and then said: "In this case, just let their brothers lead the troops together, one takes the Dugu family soldiers as their own soldiers, and the other takes my Yu family soldiers as their own soldiers, they have the name of Sui Chen, and the soldiers and horses of our two families are fully supported, which is enough to deter the soldiers of other families." ”

"It couldn't be better."

"This gold medal can mobilize my Yu clan's soldiers." Yu Yun took out a gold medal from his arms, handed it to Dugu Cheng, and said: "The two of them need to be familiar with the soldiers and horses, and the sooner they take over the soldiers and horses, the better." ”

"It's still the virtuous brother who thinks about it, and I'll let them go immediately."

"I'm worried that someone will be watching, so if I don't announce it for a long time, I'll take my leave first!" Yu Yun got up and said goodbye.

After Dugu Cheng summoned Dugu Qingyun and Dugu Yanyun and asked them to secretly leave Xiangyang with the gold medal, he suddenly felt upset, and he didn't feel joy at all.

Silently and carefully combing, Dugu Cheng slowly realized that the rebellion was not as simple as he thought, and he always felt that he was not fully prepared and thoughtful everywhere, and he even felt at a loss as to what to do next.

"Alas, I hope that nothing will happen before the arrival of the Sui army." Dugu Cheng said a word silently in his heart, and then turned the question to Li Yuan.
