Volume 2: Turbulent Waves Chapter 73: Three Marches

In the tenth year of the Great Cause, in May, Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, once again conscripted millions of soldiers, attacked Goryeo three times, and issued an edict saying:

"The Yellow Emperor fifty-two battles, the twenty-seventh march of Chengtang, the princes of Fang Naide, ordered the world. Lu Fang's thief, Han Zu is still pro-Rong, Kui Huan embers, Guangwu is still on the throne, don't you want to get rid of the violence and stop the fight, and then work and then escape!

I have become a treasure industry, the king of the world, the sun and the moon shine, the wind and rain stained, who is not my minister, alone and sound-proofed. Goryeo, secluded in the wilderness, devouring wolves, insulting and disrespectful, stealing my borders, invading my towns.

It was to go out of the army at the age of last year, ask Liaojie for the crime, kill the long snake in Xuansu, and kill the pig in Xiangping. The remnants of the army, the wind and lightning passed, chasing the north, crossing the muddy water, the sea boat, rushing to the heart of the thief, burning its city, and polluting its palace.

The Goryeo Li clan is rebellious, evil, and poisonous, which is tolerable, and which is intolerable!

I should personally hold the martial arts, visit the army, watch the army and watch the Liaoshui, punish the heavens overseas, and save the poor people from hanging upside down.

It is hereby planned to send 1,133,800 troops, to advance in 10 ways, and to ask them not to obey. The general order of the governors of the prefectures and counties is to send the soldiers and slaves in the township. There is a company to act cheaply, and the salty envoy knows about it. ”

The holy decree spread, the four seas boiled, and the world was completely in turmoil.

The rivers and mountains are picturesque, the spring breeze is ten miles down, and the people's grievances are like fire, and the world must be smelted into a picture of purgatory.

Xingyang City, Zheng's mansion.

In a rich and tall house, dressed in a red wedding dress, Li Mi was in high spirits and was sitting upright under a tree.

Half a year of hard work, stirring up the world, finally opened the curtain of extinguishing Sui.

Fang Yanzao Nian took the lead in reporting, although his cheeks were thin and he no longer looked handsome, he had an irrepressible talent, and his face was full of a confident smile.

took out the secret letter and read it out one by one, this was the first time he had been in charge of a major matter like this when he left home and worshiped under Li Mimen.

"Everywhere there is a change. Liu Yuanjin raised troops in Yuhang, captured the land of the three counties, and proclaimed himself King of Wu.

Wang Dongbo, Du Fuwei revolted in Changbai Mountain, sowed chaos in Shandong, captured prefectures and counties, killed officials, and also had 100,000 people.

Hebei Sun Anzu and Wei Dao'er raised troops in Gaojibo, claiming to be the chief manager, disturbing the north, and the prestige was great.

Guanxi Longmen Wuduan also raised troops, captured Longmen, and entered Hedong, claiming to welcome the Ming Lord. ”

Fang Yanzao said happily: "They all said that they would like to serve you as the leader of the alliance, and if the teacher doesn't come out, what will happen to the people in the world?"

Li Mi was happy in his heart, and said with a reserved face: "The time is not right. It's just a name. But the ambition to save the people is overflowing.

He asked another confidant, Wang Bodang, "Is there any movement in Wagang Zhai?"

"Teacher, Zhai Rang decided to raise troops in half a month, but he did not promise to serve you as the master." Wang Bodang, who was silent on the side, spoke.

Li Mijian raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "The guy who doesn't know how to lift, a certain strategy has his own strategy to let him comply." Occupy the Central Plains, conquer the Eastern Capital, and command the world, this is our overall situation, and those who stand in our way will die. ”

"You go and ask Mr. Yuan to come here, and I have a word to ask for advice." After reasoning about the situation, Li Mi made up his mind and instructed Uncle Wang to take charge.

"Yes!" Nodding respectfully, Wang Bodang turned around and left, walking in a hurry, and soon invited a mysterious woman out.

The wind blows the sycamores, and the branches and leaves rustle.

Half a year ago, I happened to meet an old woman on the side of the road, and after seeing him, I was surprised: "The son is slow, the old man has a dragon face, and he has the mandate of heaven, and he is willing to follow your Excellency to serve." ”

Li Mi was interested, so he asked her to calculate a hexagram.

"On the ninth day of the first month, don't use the hidden dragon." The old woman, Mr. Yuan, calculated and instructed him to set up a momentum.

Now that she has been very successful, Li Mi naturally values her opinion more.

Before long, there was a sound of crutches, and someone suddenly knocked on the door and came to the door.

"Please come in!"

Yuan Ziyan, who was dressed in Ziyi, was indeed outside the door.

"Mr. Yuan, please speak inside!" Li Mi got up and bowed her hand and invited her into the hospital.

Yuan Ziyan nodded and stepped in.

After he entered the door, Fang Yanzao and Wang Bodang automatically went to the door to guard.

Seeing Li Mi so vigilant, he knew that today's matter was very important. Yuan Ziyan didn't break it, looked around, and then asked, "Gongzi Li, but are you hesitant about something?" ”

"A certain strategy is thorough and complete." Li Mi replied, but there was obviously a hesitation.

Yuan Ziyan nodded, and asked again: "Do you need a poor nun to count a hexagram?" ”

"I'm going to rely on my husband's supernatural powers." When Li Mi heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.

"A true dragon is not a mortal thing, and it will turn into a dragon when the time comes." Yuan Ziyan pinched the plum blossom in her hand, calculated silently for a moment, and spoke.

"Please also ask the gentleman to clear up his doubts." Li Mi said sincerely.

"Son's great cause will be successful. However, the number of days is vast, and it is impossible to ask for everything. Success is also Wagang, defeat is also Wagang. Please keep these eight words in mind. ”

Yuan Ziyan advised.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of festive gongs and drums in the front yard outside, and then a servant shouted, and listening to the voice, it seemed that the auspicious time had come, to welcome Li Mi to get married.

Li Mi said during this time, following Yuan Ziyan's advice, hiding in the Zheng family's house, obsessed with manipulating the outside situation, but there was no rejection of marrying the daughter of the Zheng family.

The daughter of the Five Hopes and Seven Valves is also worthy of the emperor. Now, when I hear the chaotic sound outside, I am even more happy.

It's just that today's divination and hexagram have unfinished meanings, Turning his head to ask Mr. Yuan, he saw that Fang Yanzao had already come over, and his brows furrowed.

"Teacher, the auspicious time has arrived, please move." Fang Yanzao was dedicated to the public and urged.

Li Mi pressed his thoughts, looked at the servants outside the door, smiled, and said, "Let's go." Today, I should follow the example of Guangwu marrying Guo Shengtong, and become rich and noble. ”

Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, when he first arrived in Hebei, there were 20 generals and no soldiers and horses. It wasn't until he married Guo Shengtong and got 100,000 servants to marry that he had soldiers and horses, swept through the north, and then recovered the Dahan rivers and mountains.

Yuan Ziyan nodded, smiling secretly in her heart.

Wang Bodang and Fang Yanzao themselves followed each other left and right.

Li Mi straightened his clothes, followed the servant to the door, got on the horse, went to the Zheng family's main house, and married Zheng Guanyin, the daughter of the Zheng family.

Jinyang City, within the government.

The dance pavilion and song stage, singing and dancing, a rich and luxurious style.

Wine and beauty, celebrities and gentlemen, this is the mansion of its new owner, Tang Guogong Li Yuan.

At this banquet, the world-famous dancing girl Shang Mingyue performed, flowing clouds and flying sleeves, like flying sky, and sang gracefully: "There are beautiful women in the north." Peerless and independent. A look at the city. Then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country. Beautiful women are hard to come by. ”

There was wine and food on the table in front of Li Yuan, and the beautiful women next to him snuggled up, it was the time to refresh his mouth, what military affairs, what three expeditions to Goryeo, he had long forgotten to be clean.

Exactly: the famous man dances wildly, and the bright moon is just right. Gentle Township is a hero's mound, who cares about Hu riding to invade the side wall.

Bang - the door was suddenly split open by a sword from the outside, and behind him appeared a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy holding a three-foot Zhenguan sword, handsome and extraordinary, and walking in a tiger's step.

"Father, the Turkic 70,000 Hu cavalry Koubian, as a Jinyang stay, do not send troops to defend against the enemy, how can you still be looking for // joy." This young man blamed his father with his son, but his words were upright, so that Wen was convinced.

Li Yuan was holding the wine glass in his hand and suddenly slammed it on the table, the wine was scattered all over the ground, and he said angrily: "Presumptuous, military affairs, how can you allow this yellow-haired child to talk nonsense?" Erlang, don't quit yet! ”

Li Shimin, Li Yuan's second son, is the second, so he is also known as Li Erlang.

Not long after Li Er was born, a Xiangshi said to Li Yuan: "Ling Gongzi's posture of dragon and phoenix, the watch of heaven and sun." At the age of eighteen, he will be able to help the world and the people. ”

Therefore, Li Yuan named him Shimin, and the small character was very favorable. and long, learning martial arts, especially the art of war, since childhood, different from ordinary people.

This time, the Son of Heaven Yang Guangkong went on an expedition, the troops in various places were empty, the people inside were in turmoil, and the outside was riding on the border, burning, killing and looting, but no one could control it.

At this time, after Li Shimin heard about it, he plucked up his courage and came to ask his father to send troops to defend against the enemy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the child is arrogant, there is still some truth in what he said." Li Yuan first reprimanded his son, and then said to the officials present: "Hu cavalry invades, this official and you have the responsibility to defend the land, do you have a good plan?"

The county guard Wang Wei is a civil minister, and he is not good at military affairs, so he has to turn to the Huya Lang general Gao Junya.

"Tang Guogong is both civil and military, if there is a good policy, he should follow it." Gao Junya hurriedly stood up and showed his attitude. Of course, he doesn't fight, but he only has thousands of old and weak under his command, how dare he fight?

"Hey, although a certain person has the heart to serve the country, he has no military horses. What can I do about it? Li Yuan sighed, as if she was a helpless old woman.

"Guogong!" Liu Wenjing came forward at the right time and made a generous statement: "There is a certain word, now that the situation is critical, we should learn that we should open the treasury armor, distribute corn in the granary, recruit soldiers, and train military horses to resist the enemy." ”

The art of war is cloudy, preemptive, and by now, we have fallen behind, and the war is coming. Since the lord has done this left-behind official position, he has the responsibility of guarding the land. You can't passively wait for the thief army to attack the city, recruit troops to suppress the thief, and strike first! ”

"Recruit troops to suppress thieves, preemptively?" Li Yuan acted as a reason: "This is a violation of the imperial court decree, how can it be done?" ”

"Yes, that's a good thing. If the rebels are too big and come to crusade against us, I am afraid that the annexed state will be not owned by the state. The only way is to ask Tang Guogong to come forward and recruit people to defend against the enemy. As long as the big families in the city give money and food, this matter will be easy to handle. Another strategist, Pei Xiaoye, strongly suggested.

"Then follow this plan. When His Majesty returns, if there is any blame, Wang is willing to bear it with Tang Guogong, please do not shirk. At this time, after learning from the pain, the county guard Wang Wei had to agree.

"We are willing to advance and retreat with the national prince!" After hearing this, the others agreed.

In this way, Li Yuan tried his best. Li Yuan, under the expectations of the public, pushed the boat down the river, recruited heroes, recruited men, and reorganized the army.

The proclamation was issued, and in just three days, 50,000 people were recruited.

When it was the turn to send troops, in the face of the Turkic 70,000 Hu cavalry, everyone dared not take command, and Gao Junya, the general of Huyalang, said that he was not sick.

Now in the face of the crisis, Li Yuan originally had a plan, and Li Yuan arranged military affairs in an orderly manner, just to supplement his cronies, and grasped the military power.

With great power in his hands, Li Yuannai chose a general and said: "Although I have gathered a large army, I still lack a general. This is innate, not human, whoever dares to be the first to lead the army to break the enemy, a certain will be rewarded! ”

Even after asking several times, no one dared to lead the rabble to meet the Saiwai Hu Cavalry.

"The last general is willing to go, if he is invincible, he is willing to be a military lawyer!" Li Shimin came out in response and suppressed everyone.

Li Yuan was in a dilemma, and when he saw his son going out, he couldn't care about anything else: "Okay! Viruja, the lives of our whole family will be entrusted to you! ”

Li Shimin happily obeyed the order, dispatched all the troops, and arranged the troops in formation, as if flowing water.

First, select 3,000 iron horsemen, attack the Turkic vanguard at night, and break it. Later, the army marched in formation, forming a suspicious army, falsely claiming to be an army of 200,000.

The Turkic Khan, Ashina Jieli, did not know the reality of the Sui army, and heard that Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, had brought reinforcements to arrive, so he withdrew his troops.

It was a service, Li Shimin, the son of the Mandate of Heaven, tried to cry for the first time, and with 50,000 newly recruited troops, he was forced to retreat 70,000 foreign iron cavalry, and his reputation rose to fame, and he soon became a famous young hero in the world.
