Chapter 60: Li Yuan plots the way back
In February of the tenth year of the great cause, when the spring returned to the earth, the temperature in various places gradually warmed up, the temperature of Huaiyuan Town was no exception, the recent days were beautiful, more than ten consecutive days were thousands of miles of blue sky, the sun was shining, the snow on the ground had already melted away, in the woods, beside the stream, the pale green delicate branches and young leaves swayed lightly with the wind, and everywhere was a scene of Vientiane renewal!
At the beginning of one yuan, Vientiane is renewed. February is the season to be in good spirits! However, Li Yuan, the general of the garrison at the grain and grass base in Huaiyuan Town, did not feel a little happy. Now he was meditating alone in the main tent with a sad face!
Since the end of November last year, after Yang Guang officially announced the third expedition to Goguryeo, he was sent by Yang Guang to Huaiyuan Town, leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the safety of the grain and grass base!
Guarding the army's rations, supervising the transportation of the army's grain and grass, and being responsible for the logistics support of hundreds of thousands of troops, this is a very important position, which is much more important than his original guard captain Shaoqing.
It is said that Yang Guangneng handed over this important position to him, and he should also value him very much and trust him, but he knows in his heart that this is not the case!
Since Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang's suspicions have become heavier and heavier, and his attitude towards the gate valve family has become worse and worse, especially for the Guanlong family group, and he can't wait to uproot the Guanlong family at once!
Two months ago, the two proverbs "Li Hua blooms, Yang Kai falls" and "Li Hong is the king" suddenly circulated in the capital, which made Yang Guang, who had already been a soldier, even more suspicious of the minister surnamed Li!
After the prophecy spread, Yang Guang, in line with the principle that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go wrong, in just over ten days, he took the two important ministers of the court, Li Min and Li Hun, to prison, and beheaded all the houses, leaving no mercy at all!
Since then, Li Yuan has understood that the Li family in Longxi, as the most important representative of the Guanlong family, is one of Yang Guang's goals, and now there is a saying that "Li Hong destroys Yang", he must have been a thorn in Yang Guang's side, a thorn in the flesh, Yang Guang must eradicate his own family!
Now Yang Guang has handed over the heavy responsibility of guarding the grain and grass to himself, that is because Yang Guang killed Li Min and Li Hun, and the people in the court are already panicking, Yang Guang does not dare to kill him for the time being, so he can only give him a more important position, wanting to use this to confuse him, stabilize him, and wait for a while before starting!
Li Yuan knew that Yang Guang had little time left for him! If there is no accident, after this expedition to Goguryeo, no matter whether he wins or loses, Yang Guang will take himself!
Just when Li Yuan was still pondering, two young generals in silver armor suddenly flashed at the door, both of them were about the same size, one of them looked like he was ten years old, and the other was a little shorter, about sixteen or seventeen years old!
The two came behind Li Yuan, knelt down in front of Li Yuan and saluted, "The child sees his father, and his father is fine!"
Li Yuan turned around and saw the two of them, a little happy, and a smile appeared on his originally sad face, "Completed, Shimin, you are here!" Get up! How's the house, is your mother well? ”
It turned out that these two young generals were his sons, the eldest son Li Jiancheng and the second son Li Shimin!
The two stood up, and Li Jiancheng took a step forward and replied, "If you go back to your father, everything will be fine at home!" My mother's illness has also been cured! ”
"Father, this time the third brother and the fourth brother are also with us! However, while on the way, the third brother and the fourth brother both suffered from the wind cold and were not feeling well, so I had already let them go to the barracks to rest! ”
"Nonsense! The soldiers here are in danger, they are so young, how can you bring them here......"
Li Yuan stared at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and wanted to scold the two, but when he thought of his family's upcoming fate, he stopped again, and his face became extremely sad in an instant, "Alas, forget it!" Come on, come on! Our father and son can get together again! ”
The two brothers Li Jiancheng are a little strange, why did their father not scold him, but became sad! Li Jiancheng was a little worried, and couldn't help asking, "Father, what happened, why are you so worried, Father?"
"Yes! Why is my father so sad? Ask the father to tell the child that the child is willing to share the burden for the father! ”
Li Yuan looked at the two of them kindly, and he was very relieved! Although these two people are not very old, one is eighteen years old and the other is sixteen years old, but they have been studious and progressive since they were children, both civil and military, and they have long been good helpers for themselves!
"The Holy One doesn't trust us, and it is estimated that after this expedition to Goguryeo is over, he will attack us!" Li Yuan looked at the two of them, thought about it, but lowered his voice and said his guess! They're adults and can help the family make decisions!
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan a little shocked, what Li Yuan said was so unexpected, they had never thought about this problem, and both of them were a little distracted for a while!
After some surprise, Li Shimin first figured out everything, came back to his senses, suppressed his voice, and said a little ruthlessly: "In this case, father, it's better for us to do the opposite!"
"Yes, Father! The second brother is right! Since Yang Guang doesn't give us a way to live, we will turn against him! After Li Jiancheng figured it out, he did not hesitate to agree with Li Shimin's opinion!
Although the two of them said a bit of a big contradiction, Li Yuan did not blame them. He looked at Li Jiancheng, then at Li Shimin, and sighed a little: "No! Yang Xuangan's fate, you all know it! We are alone, and we don't have an army, so we can't fight back! ”
"Then we will contact the family gatekeeper, recruit troops, Yang Guang is cruel and unkind, everyone in the world has suffered him for a long time, my father raised his arms and shouted, there are definitely many people in the world who respond!"
Li Yuan thought about it, and finally shook his head, "No! Although Yang Guang wants to get rid of us, he hasn't done it yet, we are still his courtiers, such an incident is not a big matter, it is difficult to get the support of the world's gate valve family! ”
"However, even if we don't rebel, Yang Guang will get rid of us sooner or later! Father, we can't be tied to death! Li Yuan's various concerns and hesitation made Li Jiancheng very anxious!
"Father, the eldest brother is right! We can't sit still! Li Shimin was also very anxious, but his face was still quite calm, and he didn't show it like Li Jiancheng!
"Even if we don't fight back now, we have to be ready! Father, it's not as good as us, let's show weakness to Yang Guang first, please him, and let him stop attacking us for the time being! ”
"At that time, my father will ask for a demote and apply for an external transfer, and when we get to the local area, we can secretly recruit troops to protect ourselves!"
"Finally, let's find something big to divert his attention from him and stop paying attention to us for a short time! In this way, we can also buy more time to develop our strength! ”
"However, I believe that it will not be long before the world will be completely chaotic! The people of the world have been suffering from him for a long time, and now the common people have been fighting in all directions, and at this time, Yang Guang will forcibly conquer Goguryeo, and he will definitely exhaust the last bit of patience of the family gatekeepers! Therefore, after this expedition to Goguryeo, no matter whether you win or lose, the world will be completely chaotic within a year, and we can rise up randomly at that time! ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked at Li Yuan quietly. Li Jiancheng didn't speak when he heard it, because he also felt that Li Shimin's method was very good!
Li Yuan thought quietly for a long time before he nodded, "Shimin's method is good!" Show weakness, demote yourself, and then apply for external transfer, as long as I find help from other family owners, I should still be able to do it, and we can temporarily keep it for a while! However, it is difficult to find a big event to divert Yang Guang's attention! Now except for the conquest of Goguryeo, there is nothing else he can care about, even if it is the four bandit rebels in the world that day, he doesn't care! ”
"Father, I don't think it's that he doesn't care about the bandits and rebels, but that these rebels now are ordinary people and can't do anything, so he doesn't worry! However, now there is a Su Shang in Donglai County, and he has set up an allied army, and I heard that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been stationed now! This allied army is not only extremely elite, but also well-organized, comparable to the army of the court! ”
Li Shimin paused, looked at Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, and said with a sneer: "As long as you tell Yang Guang this news, I think he will be interested!"
"Su Shang? Confederate? Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he also remembered the gossip about Donglai County he received a few days ago, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Okay!" That's it! ”
