Chapter 293: Transfiguration
(This chapter is a bit less, sorry.) )
There was some deviation from what Li Po expected, Zhang Shujie was about to die without admitting that he was defeated and captured, and was returned by the enemy.
Shibi Khan did not delve into it either.
Because Zhang Shuming's family has always been deferential, the royal court also needs these characters to decorate the façade and make the Turkic king's account more graceful.
Therefore, successive Turkic khans treated them very leniently...... This is a very lucky guy.
And the Heng'an town army in Yunnei has also risen to a new height in the mind of Shibi Khan.
Because of the persistence of Mayi City to this day, Shibi Khan's patience had to become more durable.
The two initial strategic objectives of the Turks' southward movement had not yet been achieved, and the Turks had to spend more time in Mayi County.
In other words, the two cities of Mayi County, one south and one north, completely slowed down the southward movement of the Turks.
This was obviously something that neither the Turks nor the people of Mayi had ever thought of.
The consequences are obvious.
When the news of the battle reached Jinyang to stay behind and Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong, was here, the whole of Taiyuan was like a great enemy, because everyone understood that it was unlikely that Ma Yi and Yanmen would be able to stop the horse's hooves of the Turks.
Taiyuan is naturally a wide open door, and will face the attack of the Turks many years later.
Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Taiyuan, convened everyone to discuss, and at this moment, the situation in Jinyang City was actually very delicate.
The deputy envoy of Taiyuan, who arrived in the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Wang Wei of Taiyuan County, is a distant relative of the Wang family of Jinyang. The alliance with the magnates of the eastern capital formed a certain constraint on Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan.
And. He and Wu Yalang befriended Gao Junya, which was even more threatening to Li Yuan.
And at the beginning of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause. Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an, Xijing, were in a hurry, and Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Taiyuan with troops, immediately became a sweetheart.
The letters requesting Taiyuan to send troops to rescue were full of tables and cases left behind in Taiyuan.
At this time, Jinyang Wenwu was actually divided into two factions.
The people led by Wang Wei and Gao Junya were all persuading Li Yuan to send troops to the Eastern Capital to exterminate the traitor Li Mi, and for this reason, Wang Wei even secretly ordered Gao Junya to arrest Liu Wenjing, the commander of Jinyang. and went to prison.
Because Liu Wenjing and Li Mi's family are said to have an in-law relationship, and in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, this old account was revealed, one thing, Liu Wenjing was proud of his talents, and never put Wang Wei and others in his eyes, and there were really many people who were offended during his tenure in Jinyang.
Second, Liu Wenjing became friends with Pei Lin and others, and Pei's family is now fighting very strongly with the Wang family in Jindi, and has made friends with Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan. Whether it's red-eyed or jealous, or political considerations, guys like Liu Wenjing are all being eradicated.
Three comes. This is also another gradually forming political group in Jinyang City to show its strength and indirectly put pressure on Li Yuan.
The other group of people is Li Shimin. Hedong Pei clan, Luoyang Changsun clan representative of Changsun Shunde. Led by horse thieves Liu Hongji and others, they want to go and have more empty troops. The political environment was also more favorable to Li Yuan's Xijing Chang'an.
The two sides are almost evenly matched, and there is no doubt that Li Shimin and others did not have any advantage in this open and secret battle, otherwise, Liu Wenjing would not have been imprisoned.
It can be said that these figures with whom Li Shimin has friends today can only be regarded as an emerging political group in Jinyang, they are generally relatively young and have certain talents, but they are still not famous.
In the confrontation with Wang Wei and others, they did not take any advantage, and they also could not shake the status and foundation of the Jinyang Wang family.
And the most important point is that Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan, was still patiently waiting for the opportunity and did not say a word about the battle below, and Jinyang ordered Liu Wenjing to be detained in Jinyang Prison all the time.
And the news of the Turks going south obviously broke this balance, and the battle in Jinyang City also suddenly became fierce, and people on both sides were asking each other to recruit troops, because of the large gathering of displaced people in Jinyang City, recruiting troops was actually not difficult, but it was dragged down by grain and grass, and Li Yuan had not dared to expand the army on a large scale.
Gao Junya was secretly ordered by Wang Wei to recruit 20,000 soldiers, and Li Shimin and others did not dare to ask for an order to expand the armament war, and then recruited more than 30,000 troops again.
It seems that before the Turks arrived in the city, Taiyuan was going to have an internal strife first.
At this time, Li Yuan couldn't sit still.
So, a famous historical event happened, he and Pei Lin drank and stayed overnight in Jinyang Palace.
It's not clear what really happened, but Jin Yang then had a rumor that the two were drunk in the palace and invited a palace maid to accompany them.
Of course, with the hearts of these two, maybe they really did it.
It's just that rumors are rumors after all, and no one has seen them with their own eyes, and as for where the rumors came from, they can only be written by later generations, and the truth has long been buried in their private rooms, and no one dares to explore such truths.
Li Yuan was furious when he heard the rumors, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Wang Wei and others in Taiyuan County.
Then he ordered Wang Wei of Taiyuan County, led Gao Junya and others to lead troops to Fenyang Palace to garrison, and simply drove them out of Jinyang City.
At the end of February, the Taiyuan garrison expanded its army vigorously, and the strength reached 80,000 people, and Liu Wenjing was also released.
Taiyuan County Cheng Wang Wei and others were unwilling, so Wang Wei sent letters to several people, these people are Jinyang eunuchs, and they can all speak in front of Li Yuan, among which there is a guy named Wu Shiyan.
At this time, the drought in the northern part of the Jin Dynasty had appeared, and some people persuaded Li Yuan to go to the Jin Temple to pray for rain to calm the hearts of the people.
The Turkic people have been delayed, giving the people here in Jinyang a lot of rich time, and they are dizzying, but this also shows that the people of Jindi have roughly settled down at this time, and compared with other realms, the people of Jindi are actually quite happy.
As long as it is delayed for another year, the strength of Jindi will be even higher, in fact, this is one of the reasons why Li Yuan is reluctant to move his troops, he is waiting for the autumn harvest of the thirteenth year of the great cause.
It's a pity that time is not coming, and the thirteen years of the great cause still haven't given anyone a chance to breathe.
Li Yuan, who had been frugal for more than half a year, may have been disappointed, and finally became fierce.
As the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not seek the public, and the fact that Wang Wei and Wu Yalang of Taiyuan County wanted Gao Junya to attack Taiyuan and stay behind Li Yuan at the Jin Temple has long been exposed.
It doesn't matter whether it was Wu Shiyan or what the township chief told the secret, the important thing is that Wang Wei and Gao Junya, who were arranged and prepared to take down Li Yuan's head, were captured in the Jin Temple.
Subsequently, Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan, beheaded the two on the spot on the charge of communicating with the Turks and leading the Turks south, and the purge followed.
As the heads landed one after another, Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Taiyuan, also completely cut off the fetters from the Eastern Capital or Jiangdu, and no longer listened to any edicts. (To be continued.) )
