"It's just that I know that there are still many people in Hedong who have a good relationship with Li Yuan."

Xiao Yu raised his worries, for example, the Taiyuan Wang clan, as one of the top Kwantung clans with five surnames and seven families, is the leader of the Hedong clan, and they are standing with Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's sister is the wife of Wang Yuxuxian, the patriarch of the contemporary Wang clan, and the wife of Li Yuan's eldest son is the daughter of his sister, which is a close relationship, and the relationship between the Taiyuan Wang family and the Li family has always been excellent.

Another example is the Pei family of Wenxi in Jiangxian County, which is also the top scholar family in Hedong, and the Pei family also supports Li Yuan, and Pei Lian of the Pei family is still the prime minister of Li Yuan.

In addition, the Hedong Liu clan also supported Li Yuan.

Xiao Yu was worried that if he wanted to vote for Luo Cheng, he was afraid that there would be a civil strife in Hedong.

"I heard that Li Shimin has crossed the Pujin Bridge and entered Hedong County from Fengyi County."

Wen Dalin immediately said, "But the Qin army has dispatched 200,000 troops, and Luo Cheng has already arrived at Jingcheng, and he will definitely be the first to rush to Taiyuan if he is further away from us." ”

"Then the guards have to let them come."

And now the people stationed in Jingcheng in the east and Guancheng in the north are all people who are pro-Li Yuan.

"This is actually not difficult, Yang Gongxin has passed away, and now nominally Xiao Gong, you are still the supreme commander of the entire Hedong region. You can give an order to the generals of the garrison in various places, summon them to Taiyuan to discuss the military situation, or simply mobilize the soldiers and horses of the various cities, in short, as long as Li Shimin's army does not arrive for a day, then in this Hedong, you are still the supreme commander, and you can still open the door to convenience. ”

Hengshan County, Hebei Province, Zhending City.

Luo Cheng received Xiao Yu's eldest son Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui came secretly on his father's order, and he was accompanied by Wen Yanbowen's brother Wen Daya.

Wen's three heroes have a very good reputation, Wen Dalin, as the brother of the Wen family, once served as a bachelor of the East Palace of the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an Lieutenant, and then because of his father's funeral, he went home to worry, and then the world was in turmoil, so he simply stopped going out, and a family managed the family at home to teach his children.

This time, entrusted by his brother, he accompanied Xiao Rui to meet Luo Cheng secretly.

Luo Cheng was very surprised, he didn't know how many times he had sent people to contact Taiyuan, whether it was Xiao Yu or Yang Yichen, they had always refused to return.

Although he also successfully won over some Taiyuan generals and officials, their positions were too low and they could always influence the situation.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Yichen suddenly died of illness, but Xiao Yu was willing to join him.

When Xiao Rui met Luo Cheng, he did not say that he came to surrender on the order of his father, but said that he came to worship the Son of Heaven on his father's order and welcome the Son of Heaven into Taiyuan.

said that they were welcome but did not say surrender and annexation, which was specially explained by Wen Daya, so that Xiao Yu was not surrendering, to show that they were originally people of the court and had no intention of resisting at all.

Moreover, he also asked Xiao Rui to report himself as soon as he came up.

first reported the official title of his father Xiao Yu, and served as the left servant of Shangshu, Taishi, Song Guogong, and Hedong Xuanfu.

This is naturally to remind the Great Qin Tianzi that Xiao Yu is the prime minister Xuan Shuai.

And he also asked Xiao Rui to present the map of the counties and counties in Hedong, as well as the household registration and population register, and the roster of soldiers and horses, which all showed that Hedong had strong strength, which was naturally their capital.

Xiao Rui's behavior, Luo Cheng saw it, but he was not angry, but happily stepped forward to help the two of them up.

"Gong Xiao understands the righteousness and attaches himself to the imperial court, I am very happy, the two of you are free of courtesy, please get up quickly!"

"The father of the criminal minister wanted to return to the court early, but General Yang Yichen was resolute, so he was a little helpless······"

"Don't mention the past, I can understand, but since I am willing to belong now, it is a good thing, there is no reason to be late."

For Xiao Rui, Luo Cheng immediately proposed to confer on him the post of Bachelor of the East Palace, and for Wen Daya, he was specially awarded the post of Bachelor of Hanlin.

"The prince of mine is young, and he needs the assistance of a young talent like Master Xiao."

He also said to Wen Daya, "The Hanlin Academy is a new yamen established in this dynasty, and the bachelors are the ones who give lectures and feasts to me and the prince, and they are attached to the attendant class, the guards and the guards, and the academic work of the princes, etc., which are my personal and very important. ”

This Hanlin bachelor is actually similar to the emperor's secretary, similar to the duties of the previous secretary and supervisor, but it is more focused on following the driver, and can even wait for the edict to draft the will, and there are already some functions and powers of the scholars.

Wen Daya was also a person who had been a scholar of the East Palace before, how could he not understand that the powers of this Great Qin Hanlin Academy Scholar were very heavy.

"How can a minister dare to accept such a heavy responsibility."

"I have heard of the name of the three heroes of the Wen family in Taiyuan, and now I am very pleased to have the three Qing brothers, don't shirk and refuse, otherwise I will be unhappy."

Luo Cheng said with a smile, and directly gave Wen Dalin in Taiyuan the position of Taiyuan County.

As for Xiao Yu.

Luo Cheng conferred the title of prince and teacher on the spot, and gave him the title of Duke of Shu, 1,000 households and 3,000 acres of land.

For Luo Cheng's reward, Xiao Rui smiled and was very satisfied.

He knew that Li Mi had descended to Luo Cheng, but he was only awarded the title of founding duke of Pushan County and a Taichang Qing. And Wang Shichong surrendered to Qin, and only gave a Huainan County founding marquis title and the position of Guangluqing.

His father was attached, and Luo Cheng actually gave him the title of Duke of Shu with a thousand households, and even gave him the position of prime minister like Zhongshu Shilang, not to mention the honorary title of prince and prince.

Before he came, father and son had a secret conversation.

Xiao Yu felt that Luo Cheng might make him a county prince or county marquis, and then give him the post of Taishou or Jiuqing, who would have expected that he could also give him the post of prime minister.

"Chen Xiao Rui replaces his father Xie Wu Huang for his kindness!"

A deal is negotiated.

The next thing to talk about is the specific attachment matters.

Wen Daya came forward in this regard, Luo Cheng talked with him for a while, and he already knew Xiao Yu's entire plan, and he was even more satisfied with Wen Daya's brother Wen Daya.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, Zhengji needed such a minister.

"Li Shimin is not afraid, after you return to Taiyuan, Mr. Wen, please Xiao Shilang immediately send a credible cadre to Huoyi to station, here is Linfen Water Yihuo Mountain, it is very dangerous, and behind it is the dangerous road of Bird Mouse Valley. The front guards Huoyi, and the back guards Lingshi and Jiexiu, no matter how many Li Shi militia there are, it is difficult to go north to Taiyuan. When the summer flood is coming, there will be only one way to go in Xihe County, and it will be even more difficult to pass through at that time. ”

"As for Jing Cheng, don't worry, even if there is Li Yuan's henchmen to guard, but Xiao Gong must also have his own people, as long as I can respond to the internal response at the critical time, I can break through and enter the city."

Luo Cheng explained to Xiao Rui.

If Xiao Yu, the boss, does not surrender, then the battle of Taiyuan will definitely have to have a few tough battles to fight, especially Li Shimin is rushing to Taiyuan, although he is not too worried about this young brother-in-law, after all, he is still young, and his true ability is much more tender than himself, not to mention that his soldiers and horses are not as elite and brave as himself, but if he is allowed to enter Taiyuan first and defend the city, this battle will be much more difficult to fight.

Now it's okay, as soon as Xiao Yu falls, the battle of Taiyuan has not yet started, and Luo Cheng has basically won seven or eight points.

After the negotiation, Luo Cheng deliberately asked the chamberlain to take the jade unicorn talisman, the general ministers use the fish talisman, the military generals use the talisman, even the ministers above the third grade only use gold as the talisman, and the jade unicorn talisman is the honor that the emperor gave to the ministers.

Give Xiao Yu a jade unicorn talisman, and give the three Wen brothers goldfish talisman goldfish bag, and give Xiao Rui a silverfish talisman.

The grade of the three Wen brothers is not enough for the three grades, and the special gift of gold charms is also an honor.

He also gave Xiao Yu a bullfighting robe, a purple robe and jade belt for the three Wen brothers, and a silver belt for Xiao Rui's scarlet clothes.

In the end, Luo Cheng even held Wen Daya with his left hand and Xiao Rui with his right hand, and sent the two out of the door in person.

After this set, even if he was as calm as Wen Daya, he couldn't help but feel that his blood was boiling all over his body, and his face was hot.

"Please stop, Your Majesty, and the ministers will rush back to Taiyuan."

Xiao Rui was even more excited and didn't know how to speak, he was also the son of a prince and nobleman, but which emperor would treat them so politely?

At this moment, he really had the feeling of being a soldier dying for the king, and he was not willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire.
