Chapter 1235: Xi Jun buys

"This Xi Jun is really amazing, looking at the description of him on the good news, it is almost the second Xue Rengui, it seems that my Datang is also full of talents, with such a tiger will help, why should I worry about the injustice of the world?" Li Shimin looked at the good news in his hand, and laughed loudly at the moment, his gray beard was also high, which was completely different from the angry look a few days ago.

On the one hand, they don't have to worry about bearing Li Shimin's anger, on the other hand, they are also happy for this victory, and it is said that Xi Junmai and others led troops into the territory of Tubo, and even wanted to capture Songtsan Gampo alive.

Li Xiu was also in the palace, and now his heart was quite uneasy, because he didn't expect that the key person in quelling the Tubo Rebellion was Xi Junmai, and even if it wasn't for this incident, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a legendary figure in the Tang Dynasty.

Xi Junmai is not as famous as Xue Rengui and others in history, and there are not many records of him in history, which is nothing more than that he is good at using guns and sticks, skilled in bows and horses, and can open a six-stone strong bow, in addition to this, even the date of birth and death is unknown, and even there is only one battle line recorded about him, but it is this battle line that is enough to make him famous in history.

In the original history, Xi Junmai was also a small Guoyi Lieutenant, at that time Tuyuhun had also been attached to the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty began to garrison troops in Tuyuhun, and Xi Junmai was one of them, but at that time Tuyuhun was located between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, even if it was attached to the Tang Dynasty, there were still many people in China who were eye-to-eye with Tubo.

In this case, King Xuan, the prime minister of Tuyuhun, suddenly launched a rebellion, and even wanted to hold King Tuyuhun hostage to take refuge in Tubo, at this time Xi Junmai led his 120 horsemen, and actually broke King Xuan's tens of thousands of troops in one fell swoop, and even personally killed the three brothers of King Xuan, this battle made Tuyuhun's rebellion immediately quelled, and Xi Junmai also went down in history with 100 horsemen to break through 10,000 troops.

However, there is only one record of Xi Junmai in history, and even after this war, there is no record of how the court rewarded him, which is a bit strange, so some people speculated later that although Xi Junmai made a miraculous achievement, he may have sent troops without authorization, after all, he was just a small Guoyi captain, and there was a captain on top of him, and sending troops without authorization was a taboo in the army, so although he made great contributions, he did not get much reward, and the history books only mentioned it in passing, and there was not much description of him.

Now with Li Xiu's crossing, Tuyuhun did not belong to the Tang Dynasty as in the original history, but was directly destroyed by Hou Junji and Cheng Yanjin with smallpox, and the people in Tuyuhun were completely annexed by the Tang Dynasty.

However, it is also in response to that sentence, gold will always shine, although Xi Junmai failed to pacify the Tuyuhun Rebellion as in history, but after all, he is not an ordinary person, in this Tubo invasion of the Tang Dynasty, he also shined again, and also chiseled through the army of tens of thousands of people in Tubo with more than 100 horses, although this also has the credit of other Tang army containment, but his performance is still very amazing, even enough to compare with Xue Rengui's performance in Goguryeo last time.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but be happy in his heart, on the one hand, he was happy that such a fierce general appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, he was happy that after he changed history, he did not bury Xi Junmai as a famous general, but unfortunately now Xi Junmai chased and killed Songtsan Gampo into Tubo, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back, otherwise he must see him with his own eyes!

After being happy, Li Shimin immediately sent people to Songzhou to prepare to reward the three armies, especially Xi Junmai, who was a meritorious hero, and he must be rewarded in Beijing in person.

What makes Li Shimin even happier is that Tubo has returned from a fiasco this time, and even now that the Tang Dynasty's army has entered Tubo, there is naturally no longer a threat to the border, so that he can also rest assured that he can go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, as for the aftermath, he does not need to deal with it personally, at most send a minister to go, if you can catch Songtsan Gampo, it is naturally the best, if you can't catch it, then you can knock Tubo hard, at least let them be relieved for a few years.

Today, Li Shimin summoned the ministers to come over, on the one hand, to report the news of the defeat of Tubo, on the other hand, it is also to continue to discuss the matter of going to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, although because of the delay of a few days because of the incident of the Tubo offense, but it does not matter, and this victory also gave Mount Tai a good omen, and at the same time strengthened Li Shimin's confidence.

Three days later, Li Shimin finally led the civil and military officials to leave Chang'an, Li Chengqian sat in Chang'an as a prisoner, but although Li Shimin left Chang'an, most of the twists and turns sent from all over the country still had to be sent to him for processing, after all, Li Chengqian was only the prince, and he had no right to call the shots in some things, and Li Chengqian had also made too much trouble in recent years, and Li Shimin's trust in him had also decreased a lot again.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that I don't know what Li Shimin thinks, and he actually took Li Tai with him, it seems that he plans to let him go to Mount Tai with him to seal Zen, and the external explanation is that Li Tai's fief was originally in Shandong, and Mount Tai is also in Li Tai's fief, so this time he should accompany him.

However, Li Xiu knew that it was not the case at all, I am afraid that Li Shimin knew that after Li Chengqian was worried about the prison of the country, Li Tai would definitely be unhappy, so he took Li Tai to Mount Tai together, so that the two sons got benefits, at least on the surface, Li Shimin, the father, was impartial.

But Li Shimin forgot that he is not an ordinary father, but an emperor, this approach will not only not make the two sons feel fair, but will only deepen the rift between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, especially Li Tai, this kind of thing is of great significance, Li Shimin if he brings Li Chengqian, it is nothing, but now he only brings Li Tai, which will only make Li Tai have greater delusions and strengthen his confidence in seizing the crown prince.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, although he knew that Li Shimin's approach was really unwise, but he couldn't persuade him, because Li Shimin was no longer the original Li Shimin, especially after the death of Empress Changsun, Li Shimin became more and more unable to listen to the persuasion of others, so Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji also learned to keep a few points when speaking, and now Li Xiu is even more withdrawn from the court, in addition to Li Chengqian and the reason, it also has a lot to do with Li Shimin.
