Chapter 186: Before the War
After several times of lobbying by Li Shentong, as well as Li Shimin's coercion and temptation, He Panren finally joined Li Shimin's camp, so far, the strength in Li Shimin's hands has reached nearly 100,000 horses, such a strong strength is the first major force in Guanzhong except Daxing, which also makes Li Shimin ambitious!
"The letter to Jinyang has been sent, and we need to clear the way for my father's army, so I decided to personally lead an army of 50,000 to Hedong to meet him, and the remaining 50,000 horses are here to pay attention to the situation in Daxing." After everything was ready, Li Shimin felt that the time was ripe, and Jinyang couldn't wait.
"I'm afraid that the power in our hands has surpassed Jinyang, why don't we stand on our own?" Hou Junji pulled over the eldest grandson Wuji and whispered.
"Confused, do you think strength is everything? If you are self-reliant, then it means losing the support of the Li family, and losing the backing of the Li family means losing the support of the family, even someone as arrogant as Yang Guang does not dare to be unscrupulous against the family, we only have a little strength to dare to stand on our own? That's whimsical! The eldest grandson Wuji gave Hou Junji a lesson in his head, although he didn't speak loudly, everyone still felt it, and they all looked at them with a puzzled expression.
"What's the matter, what objections do you have to the auxiliary machine?" Li Shimin asked.
"It's okay, Junji wants me to help let Shimin take him to Hedong with him." The eldest grandson Wuji didn't tell the truth, but just found a reason casually, because Hou Junji would definitely be scolded if he said those words of Hou Junji.
"Oh~ I will have no worries when the military set stays, and I will listen to the advice of the auxiliary machine if I have something." Li Shimin does not plan to take Hou Junji to Hedong together, although he now has a large number of soldiers and horses, but there are very few people available, if Hou Junji is taken away, then the remaining two sessions have no leader, then it will only be vulnerable, and he doesn't want to disappear in an instant.
Jinyang
"Why is General Gao here?" Wang Wei was quite surprised to see Gao Junya visiting, both of them were sent by Yang Guang to spy on Li Yuan, but since they heard the news of Yang Guang's death, they have become low-key and have less contact, but they don't want Gao Junya to come to him in the middle of the night.
"Let's go inside, this is not the place to talk." Wang Wei reacted and invited Gao Junya into the house.
"What do you think of what Li Yuan said today?" Gao Junya asked Wang Wei, just today Li Yuan summoned Jinyang's large and small civil and military officials, saying that Fenyang Palace was occupied by rebels, and they were helpless, this is a dereliction of duty, a matter of disgrace to the royal family, it is to punish the nine clans, and bluff the officials into a daze.
Later, he proposed to recruit troops to prepare for war, and Wang and Gao were also afraid at that time and agreed.
"What do you mean by that?" was asked by Gao Junya, Wang Wei also came to his senses, but he didn't know what Gao Junya wanted.
"Li Yuan rebelled, we are His Majesty's people, although His Majesty has passed away, but we can't watch Li Yuan get into trouble, even if we are willing to rebel with him, he will not accept us!" Gao Junya said that Wang Wei also agreed, they were originally here to spy on Li Yuan, and they have always been opponents, which everyone knows, so Li Yuan will never let them go.
"How's that to be? Why don't we leave before Li Yuan notices us!" ”
"No need, since Li Yuan rushed to make a proposal for conscription, then it is impossible for us to have a chance to leak the news, so I conclude that Li Yuan will definitely do something to us tonight, but what he didn't expect is that although we can't leave, there is no problem in sending the news out." For many years in Jinyang, they always have their own secret way of delivering messages to ensure that the messages are delivered safely.
Sure enough, just after they sent the news to Daxing, Li Yuan's people had already come to the door and arrested them without saying anything.
"Wang Wei and Gao Junya colluded with the Turks, and it was not good for my Great Sui, and now I will arrest them and give an explanation to those people who are suffering!" Li Yuan announced the "crime" of the two the next day, and it happened that Liu Wuzhou and the Turks were besieging Taiyuan, and this reason is convincing. After resolving the civil strife, Li Yuan skillfully withdrew from the Turks, and then sent someone to seal a letter to the Turkic Khan, in which he whispered and claimed to be a courtier, winning the trust of the Turks.
"Let's get started!" Li Yuan said to Liu Wenjing, just yesterday I received a letter from Li Shimin, saying that the Guanzhong area has been swept away, and only the army can arrive, so today is the oath meeting.
"Yang Guang acted perversely, listened to slander, killed Zhongliang, and used military force to fill the road...... Now I, Jinyang, for the sake of the people of the world, resolutely raise troops against the tyranny of the Sui and punish the tyranny of the Sui! Liu Wenjing read impassionedly the text that had already been written.
Then Li Yuan proclaimed himself a general, Li Jiancheng became the governor of the left leading army, Li Shimin was the general of the right leading army, and Liu Wenjing was Sima, raising 50,000 troops, as a righteous soldier, and went to the south to kill!
"Go, Mingyue has a body, you can go to her, and it's not too late to come back when she is born." The Yin Shishi sent his wife outside Daxing City and said to her. Yang Jian sent someone to deliver Yin Mingyue's letter, and by the way, he came to take them to Licheng.
"Zhi'er has to listen to her mother and sister and brother-in-law when she goes to Licheng, otherwise it depends on how her father will clean you up!" Originally, Yin Shishi didn't want them to go to Licheng, after all, it was not safe everywhere, but there was news from the Guanzhong area that the thieves were in trouble, and it was not safe in Daxing, not to mention that Yang Yan had arranged everything properly, and sent a "caravan" of 1,000 people as a cover to escort Yin Hongzhi and them, so he was relieved to let them leave.
"I'll trouble you to take care of it along the way!" The Netherworld Master said to the leader of this "caravan".
"Don't bother, the prince has instructed that the lady and the little prince must be sent safely, and we have already made preparations on the road, as long as we don't encounter large-scale arming, there will be no problem." Daxing to Licheng has to pass through Guanzhong and Luoyang, and Yang Yin has to make arrangements in advance.
"By the way, there is a letter from the prince to the general, the prince said, the general will read it after we leave!" The man took out a letter and handed it to the Netherworld.
"The concubine is gone, and the master is at home alone, remember to take care of himself!" Mrs. Yin gently helped the Yin Master tidy up her clothes.
"Go!" The Yin Shi Shi waved his hand, and it was not a parting of life and death, why did he make such a sensational, and it was not a small couple.
"Father-in-law!" After the others walked away, the Yin Shishi looked at the letter in his hand, and there were these words written on it, and at a glance, he knew that it was written by Yang Yun himself.
"Please forgive the son-in-law for not telling his father-in-law in advance, Guanzhong has been in chaos, and soon the war will spread to Daxing, Jinyang Li Yuan has objections, it is estimated that it will be in the near future, and the spearhead must be Daxing, the son-in-law is in Licheng, even if he has the heart, he is powerless, knowing that his father-in-law will not let his mother-in-law and Xiaozhi come to Licheng after learning the news, so the son-in-law can only cut it first. I also hope that my father-in-law will prepare as soon as possible, and once he encounters something that cannot be changed, he will endure it for a while, and deal with it after his son-in-law returns to Daxing. Please remember that you can't do anything too much! Yin Shishi looked at the content of the letter and sighed, Yang Yan really knew him, if he knew in advance that there would be such a situation, it is estimated that he would not let his wife and son leave, no wonder Yang Yan wanted to tell the person to give it to him when he left.
"It's messy, it's long overdue!" The Yin World Master sighed.
After the New Year, Yang Jian began to get busy again, although Qingzhou has people to share the big and small affairs, but he can't just be the shopkeeper, not to mention that there are many affairs arranged before the year, he should also help deal with one or two. Every noon break, Yang Jun has to listen to the news gathered by No. 2, the movements of Li Yuan and Li Shimin are what he is most concerned about, but today there is a news that shocks him!
"Are you sure?!" Yang Jun excitedly grabbed No. 2's collar!
"Back to the master, we have basically determined that General Han is still alive now, and he is in Luoyang!" No. 2 didn't expect Yang Yun to be so excited when he heard the news.
"Be clear!" Yang Xuan also found that he was out of control, he also thought that Han Baohu was dead, and his name had been engraved on the Hero Monument of Licheng, after all, it was to give him a chance to escape, and now he suddenly heard the news that he was still alive, can he not be excited. Yang Jian hurriedly sorted out his emotions and continued to ask.
"Yes! Refused to be in Luoyang people report, since last year, a prison in Luoyang suddenly strengthened the guard, this movement attracted their attention, after a long time of trial and exploration, only know that there is an important prisoner in it, because of the tight defense, can not enter the inside to investigate, unless a strong attack. Recently, the people who broke into Wang Shichong's mansion heard the news by chance, and it seemed that they kept General Han in order to obtain the training method of the personal guard and the method of making the weapons in the hands of the personal guard, but it seems that they did not get any useful information from General Han, but it is certain that General Han must have suffered a great deal of torture. No. 2 said the news in detail, of course, he didn't forget to add his own guess, of course, even if he didn't guess Yang Jun like this, he knew that Han Baohu would definitely suffer a lot of crimes, and he was not guilty, and he was guilty!
"Send a letter to Wang Shichong, and send him within three days, otherwise I will set foot in Luoyang and break his body into ten thousand pieces!" Yang Jun gritted his teeth and said hatefully, he didn't mess with Wang Shichong, but Wang Shichong didn't know how to provoke him, and almost let him die, this revenge must be avenged!
