Yang Gongren, the servant of the Sui Dynasty, escaped from Liaocheng after the Battle of Liaocheng, and was finally captured by Yuan Baobao, the governor of Tang Wei Prefecture, and escorted Yang Gongren to Chang'an. (Yuan Baobao was persuaded by Wei Zheng to surrender to the Tang Dynasty after Li Mi's army defeated Beibishan.) ）

Li Yuan and Yang Gongren were old acquaintances, so Yang Gongren paid homage to the Huangmen squire, and then appointed him as the governor of Liangzhou.

Yang Gongren has always been familiar with border affairs, understand the reality of the Qiang and Hu ethnic groups, the people of Liangzhou and the Yi people are happy and convinced of him, and many countries and countries in the east of the Green Mountains have come to Chang'an to worship and pay tribute.

At the beginning, when Li Yuan was the young eunuch of the palace of the Sui Dynasty, Yu Wenshi and the Sui Dynasty's concubine Du Wei and Shang Yuan served the emperor, and Li Yuan's relationship with him was very good.

When Yu Wenshi and Sui Yu Culture arrived in Liyang, Li Yuan personally wrote an edict to summon Yu Wenshi and, Yu Wenshi and at that time secretly sent a servant to Chang'an to contact Li Yuan from the small road, and then asked the envoy to offer a gold ring to return to Chang'an.

Yu Wenhua and to Wei County, the army is weakening day by day, Yu Wenshi and persuade him to return to the Tang Dynasty, Yu Wenhua and did not listen, Feng Deyi at that time persuaded Yu Wenshi and in Jibei to collect and supervise the military rations, in order to wait and see the changes.

Yu Wenhua and the emperor, Lishi and the king of Shu, Yu Wenhua and after his death, Yu Wenhua and Feng Deyi came to Chang'an from Jibei to collect grain and surrendered to Tang.

At that time, one of the sisters of Yu Wenshi and was still Zhaoyi in Li Yuan's harem, so Yu Wenshi and was soon awarded the title of Shangyi Tong by Li Yuan.

Because Feng Deyi was an old minister of the Sui Dynasty and was an accomplice of Yu Shiji when he was in Jiangdu, Li Yuan severely reprimanded him, dismissed him from his official position, and sent him home.

However, after Feng Deyi was driven out of Chang'an, he did not leave, he knew that after Li Yuan became the emperor, he was especially good at women, so he searched around for the best way to enhance the atrial technique, and after looking for a long time, he was really found by him.

When Li Yuan learned of Feng Deyi's prescription, he was very happy, and immediately worshiped Deyi as a member of the Inner Shishe, and soon promoted him to an official at the level of a squire.

In addition to Zheng Shanguo, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenhua and Feng Deyi, there were more than 20 former ministers of the Sui Dynasty, who rushed to Chang'an from Hebei after Yu Wenhua's death and were awarded official positions by Li Yuan. Although he has won the service of many people, Li Yuan still often sighs, if Li Shentong can lead his troops to capture Liaocheng and offer the jade seal of the country, it will be even better.

Li Yuan's desire for the jade seal of the country is no less than that of Dou Jiande.

On April 25, Li Yuan began to reward Li Yinping Hexi and Li Shimin for their efforts in destroying Zhu Ji. Worship Li Yin as a lieutenant, Yongzhou pastor, into the right Weiwei general, Zhaoliang Prefecture and Guanbei Prefecture soldiers and horses are subject to Li Yin's control.

After Li Yuan rewarded Li Yin, he worshiped Li Shimin as Situ, Yuzhou Mu, the general of the Right Wuhou, and the commanders of Zhaopu, Shaanxi, and Hebei were all subject to his moderation.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the three divisions (Taibao, Taifu, and Taishi) and the three dukes (Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei) were all official positions of Zhengyipin, and they were nominally all-encompassing, which was regarded as the highest honorary title, and now Li Yin and Li Shimin have won such honors.

Datang did not implement the state pastor system in the local area, so the Yongzhou pastor rewarded by Li Yin and Li Shimin's Yuzhou pastor are also of an honorary nature, but the difference has revealed that Li Yuan arranged for the two in the future.

Yongzhou is the land of Chang'an and Jinggi, and now it is all owned by the Tang Dynasty, Li Yin is impossible to manage these important places, but Yuzhou is the Central Plains region, plus Pu, Shaanxi, and Hebei are all subject to Li Shimin's temperance, it can be seen that Li Yuan has already indicated that he wants Li Shimin to attack the Central Plains.

And the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou and Guanbei Prefectures are all controlled by Li Yin, and what Li Yin can deal with is only Liang Shidu and the Turks, Liang Shi is not worried, just because he took refuge in the Turks and is one with the Turks, Datang did not deal with him, and the Turks are strong, how can Datang provoke at this time?

So after this arrangement, Li Yin seems to be idle for a long time.

Li Yin didn't say anything about this, nor did he have the slightest sense of dissatisfaction, because he knew that he didn't need to do anything, and things would turn around.

The turning point is in the Hedong area.

Li Yuan sent Dou Dan, the eunuch of the palace, and Yu Wenxin, the general of the right guard, to assist the governor of the state and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to guard Jinyang. Dou Dan is the son of Dou Kang and married Princess Xiangyang, Li Yuan's daughter.

Li Yuanji has an arrogant temperament and a luxurious life, and has hundreds of slaves and concubines, who like to let them wear war robes and play war games, and many people have been killed and injured before and after, and Li Yuanji has also been injured. Li Yuanji's nurse Chen Shanyi persuaded hard, but Li Yuanji was drunk at that time and was very angry when he heard her words, so he ordered Lux to beat his nurse Chen Shanyi to death.

Since the last time he was severely taught a lesson by Li Yin, Li Yuanji has also been alive for a long time, but then viciously recidivism, often hunting with Dou Dan, trampling on the crops of the people, and making people build thirty cars of nets to catch birds, beasts, fish and shrimps, sometimes catching animals is boring, so they use this to chase people.

Li Yuanji also indulged the people around him to take guns and take people's property, and shot people with arrows on the street to see how people avoided arrows. When he opened the gate of the palace at night and openly did ** things in other people's homes, the people were very resentful, and Yu Wenxin repeatedly advised Yuanji to listen, so he reported Li Yuanji's situation to Li Yuanji.

On the 22nd day of the first month of this year, Li Yuanji was convicted and dismissed, and Li Yuan asked him to return to Chang'an on a later date.

Li Yuanji was at ease in Jinyang, and he was unwilling to return to Chang'an to be under Li Yuan's control, so Dou Dan thought of a way for him, asking him to buy some famous fathers and elders in Taiyuan, and go to the court to ask Li Yuan to keep him.

Li Yuan was also not worried about handing over Taiyuan Dao to other people, and after having such an excuse, he reappointed Li Yuanji as the governor of Bingzhou and continued to let him guard Jinyang.

However, the facts will prove to Li Yuan that it was an unwise decision to hand over the land of Longxing to Li Yuanji to guard.

At the end of April, the state of Yellow Snake Ridge.

Since Song Jingang took refuge in Liu Wuzhou, he offered him the strategy of "enterprising Jinyang and fighting for the world in the south", Liu Wuzhou actively prepared, after more than half a year of preparation, finally led tens of thousands of troops, and the army of the Yellow Snake Ridge (north of Yuci County) entered Jinyang, and the army was very prosperous.

Liu Wuzhou's army had thousands of Turkic elite cavalry, which he had painstakingly sought from Shibi Khan in the past few months, and was one of his greatest reliance on his southern invasion.

In February of this year, when Li Yinping was west of the river, Shibi Khan wanted to summon Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shidu to attack the Tang Dynasty and ask the Tang Dynasty for the New Year's coin, but when he arrived in Xiazhou, he suddenly died of illness. The throne of the Turkic Khan, inherited by the younger brother of the Shibi Khan, is the Khan of Chuluo.
