Li Gu and Li Yao are brothers of the same father and mother.

The reason why the two of them are not treated well by Li Yuan is mainly because these two brothers are not good-looking.

It can be said that among the many princes of the Tang Kingdom, the two people who are the worst are not even as good as ordinary people.

Among them, Li Gu is obese, but he has a small head, and Li Yao is short and thin, but he has a big head.

The two of them stood together, very nondescript.

The two of them looked like this, Li Yuan naturally didn't like it, and felt that they had lost the face of the royal family, so he directly sent them to Yuzhou and Liangzhou to confront Liang Guo.

In Li Yuan's view, they died when they died, and they continued to resist the Liang State if they didn't die.

Regarding the situation of the two of them, Li Yu, a later generation, naturally understands a little why, because the mother concubine of the two of them is actually very close to Li Yuan by blood, and is Li Yuan's cousin.

Getting married closely, the children born are a little abnormal.

However, although Li Gu and Li Yao were not welcomed, for so many years, the two brothers have worked together to block Liang Guo from the outside of Tang State, and did not make Tang Guo abandon an inch of land.

In addition to them, there is Cui Feng of Luzhou and Wang Thirteen of Huzhou.

Luzhou and Huzhou are both places close to the Qi State, and there is often friction with the Qi State.

Neither of them is from the royal family, and at the same time, they are not very trusted by the royal family, but both of them are people from the four wealthy families of the Tang Kingdom, or people from the four great families.

The four major families of the Tang Kingdom, the Lu family, the Cui family, the Wang family, and the Zheng family, now, the Lu family has been destroyed, and only three families remain.

And these three families are actually not dealing with each other, Li Yuan saw this, so let the two of them resist the Qi State together.

If each of them wants to annex the other, then they will supervise each other, so that no one will dare to make mistakes easily, and as for colluding with the Qi State, they will naturally dare even more so.

There are relatively a lot of soldiers and horses in these places, there are more than 100,000 of them, these soldiers and horses, Tang Yu will not move, after all, they are now guarding the safety of the Tang Kingdom, and when their place is no longer the border of the Tang Kingdom, I will talk about it at that time.

Su Rong muttered in the study, Li Yu smiled lightly, her own princess, she still thinks about Su Jiajun all the time, but the more she is like this, the more she is worried about Su Jiajun.

The Su family army is currently the most powerful army in the Tang Kingdom, and if the Su family army cannot ensure its absolute loyalty to the Tang State, no one will be at ease.

However, in the face of this situation, Li Yu did not show the slightest expression, and there are some things that do not need to be said.

Even if it's in the face of his own wife.

The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and the next morning, the imperial court sent people to send an edict to the feudal kings in various places to send troops to the capital.

These edicts were delivered day and night, and were soon delivered to the vassal kings everywhere.

Some vassal kings had no ambitions, such as people like Li Mo, so after receiving the order, they directly sent the strong soldiers of their fiefdoms to the capital, but there were some people who were not so obedient.

In the land of Qingzhou, after Li Qing returned to his fiefdom, he immediately adjusted the amount of taxes and spent a lot of money on expanding the army.

And at this time, he received an edict from the imperial court.

After receiving the edict, he immediately called Du Ruhui.

"Mr. Du, how could the imperial court suddenly issue such an edict, and what do they mean?"

Du Ruhui frowned calmly and said, "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that Li Yu is afraid that we will attack the capital after expanding the army, so he thinks about drawing troops, in this way, one can weaken the strength of the vassal kings in various places, and the other is that the army can be expanded in the capital, and the capital will be more secure in the future." ”

"Hmph, this Li Yu is really cunning enough, look at what is written on this edict, within half a month, the soldiers and horses must be sent to the capital, otherwise, they will be punished for treason, who is he scaring for, this king will not send it, what can he do to me?"

Since losing to Li Yu, the current Li Qing has become angry when he mentions Li Yu, and he has lost his usual calm a little as soon as he is angry.

"Lord Wang, now that our troops in Qingzhou are weak, if we are really convicted of treason, I am afraid that we will not have much ability to resist, so my subordinates feel that the prince might as well endure it, and when the soldiers and horses are strong, he will go straight to the capital and kill Li Yu."

"You let this king endure?"

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and besides, although the prince can send troops, he can send some old, weak, sick and disabled people over."

"But the edict says to be strong."

"Let's just say that we don't have it in Qingzhou."

One or two thousand old and weak soldiers, Li Qing still doesn't pay attention to them, anyway, such soldiers are not very useful, and they also waste food and military salaries, and if they are given to Tang Yu, they will be given to Li Yu.

Thinking like this, Li Qing also accepted the edict.

At the same time, there are still a few princes who have such thoughts with Li Qing, and they have also sent the old and weak soldiers in their fiefdoms to the capital.

It seems that they didn't read the edict carefully at all, thinking that they only needed to send one or two thousand soldiers and horses.

At the end of autumn, the weather in the capital and state became colder and colder, and at this time, the soldiers and horses from all over the country were finally delivered.

Li Yu was a little surprised when he heard that the vassal kings from all over the country had sent soldiers and horses, because it was too smooth.

"All delivered?" Li Yu asked, and Xu Maogong smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, all the gifts have been sent, but there are a few princes who are unruly, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they can't fight at all." ”

"How many princes?"

"Three, there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in one attack, and the three princes of them have sent 6,000 old and weak soldiers, and now only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses are available, what do you say about this now?"

Xu Maogong shrunk his neck, the weather at this time was getting colder and colder, and at this time, Xiong Kuohai scolded, "These princes, it's really not long-sighted, His Royal Highness the Prince, lead the troops to destroy them." ”

Xu Maogong pouted, he really thought that if he said that he would move the army, there was no good reason, if he moved the army, it would only cause the other vassal kings to feel uneasy, and then he would have a big event.

Fortunately, Li Yu was calmer and said, "Are they all those feudal kings?" ”

"Qingwang Li Qing, Winged King Li Shang, and Fuwang Li Quan."

"Li Qing and Li Shang are unruly, this prince has expected it, why is King Fu Li Que also unruly?"

Xu Maogong smiled bitterly and said, "There is a reason why King Fu Li Que is unruly. ”

"What is the reason?"
