Chapter 81: Knowing His Whereabouts

Luoyang and Dongjun are not far apart, and it takes only five days to go back and forth.

In these five days, Li Xuanba counted all the big families who planned to move to Luoyang, and for the sake of fairness, he ranked them according to their surnames.

Of course, Li Xuanba's way of thinking that it is fair is simply incomprehensible to those big families, because they don't know what the alphabet is. Li Xuanba didn't bother to explain, and directly told everyone that if they had any opinions, they could choose other ways to leave Dongjun, and everyone immediately shut up.

The ship returned to Dongjun, and Li Xuanba changed another group of people to Luoyang, and when they came, the first group of people traveled day and night, looking sluggish, and they were indeed tired; Second, he also wants others to see the world, and at the same time, let the forbidden army who follows him return to Luoyang to reunite with his family.

After arranging the matter, Li Xuanba hurried back to the barracks. Because Wei Zheng asked the forbidden army to bring a letter back.

In Li Xuanba's letter to Wei Zheng, he explained that he wanted to secretly investigate Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and in order to prevent being detected, Wei Zheng had been cautiously inquiring, so he replied after so long.

Speaking of Wei Zheng, Li Xuanba himself didn't know why he believed in him so much, perhaps because he was influenced by later generations, after all, Wei Zheng had scolded Li Shimin in person for Li Jiancheng.

Although Li Xuanba and Wei Zheng have never mentioned the relationship between master and servant, they know each other that Wei Zheng is wholeheartedly doing things for Li Xuanba, and he is already regarded as serving Li Xuanba, and Li Xuanba is also relieved to hand over things to Wei Zheng to do, but he is not worried about Wei Zheng's leakage.

There are some things that Li Xuanba didn't even dare to tell Li Gou, which made Wei Zheng even more grateful for Li Xuanba's trust.

Wei Zheng's words are very good-looking, but they are not the same as Yang Ling's good-looking. Yang Ling's handwriting is delicate, and the strokes are extremely neat, as if they are a template for printing; Wei Zheng's words are like flowing water in the same industry, and they give people a vigorous and powerful feeling.

Li Xuanba felt inferior again, then adjusted his mentality and read the letter with some expectation.

In Wei Zheng's letter, all the things that Li Xuanba cared about were mentioned.

After Li Xuanba left Luoyang, the Tang Mansion took in a total of seventy-two children, and after a month of observation, only twenty-five people remained. As for the others, except for the sin slaves given by Yang Guang, everyone else was rewarded with some silver and sent out the Tang State Mansion.

Among the children who stayed, only three of them satisfied Li Gou and Wei Zheng at the same time, and the other twenty-two children were either more than intelligent and weak, or they had good physical fitness, but their brains could not be opened.

Li Xuanba read this, nodded, and said to himself: "Being able to keep twenty-five children has exceeded my expectations." ”

Those children are sin slaves, who have nothing but to endure hardship, and in the eyes of others, they are just a bunch of beasts waiting to die. But Li Xuanba knows that the reason why they have become like this is only because they lack education.

Li Xuanba believed in Wei Zheng and Li Gou's ability to do things, and after muttering a few words to himself, he continued to look down.

The next content made Li Xuanba's face look ugly.

On the seventh day of the fourth month, Zhen Zhai'er, a general under Wei Diao'er, led 100,000 people to attack Taiyuan. General Pan Changwen led his troops to attack, but was defeated, and Pan Changwen died in battle.

When Li Xuanba saw the word "Taiyuan", he was inexplicably frightened.

Because he knew that if history had not changed, Li Yuan would have stayed in Taiyuan in the future, and it was there that Li Yuan raised an army against Sui.

Li Yuan worked hard for the Sui Dynasty, first suppressed Wuduan in Shanxi, and later succeeded Fan Zigai and led his troops to clear the thief army of Chai Baochang and Jingpantuo.

Yang Ling also mentioned in the letter that Li Yuan appeased the people, treated the surrendered army well, and even arranged the surrendered thief army by his side to show trust. Now that more and more people have surrendered, it is only a matter of time before the Jiangjun rebels are defeated.

So where is Li Yuan's next stop? Could it be Taiyuan?

Li Xuanba still didn't understand why Li Yuan rebelled, he was silent for a moment, knowing that this matter was not under his control at all, and in desperation, he continued to read the letter.

Fang Xuanling, eighteen-year-old Qizhou Jinshi, is currently a feather cavalry captain; Du Ruhui, who was a servant of the Ministry of Rites, worshiped the official of Fuyang, and then abandoned the official and disappeared.

Perhaps because there was too little information found, and he felt sorry for Li Xuanba's trust, Wei Zheng's handwriting became no longer fluent, and he seemed to stop writing from time to time.

That was the end of Wei Zheng's letter, and he did not explain why he could not find more information, nor did he apologize.

He didn't want to talk nonsense, if Li Xuanba trusted him, then Li Xuanba must have understood that he had done his best.

Li Xuanba really didn't think much about it, and was able to confirm that Fang and Du had not defected to Li Yuan, which made Li Xuanba very satisfied, as for how to make friends with the two of them in the future, it could only depend on Li Xuanba himself.

Fang Xuanling is good at planning, Du Ruhui is good at decisive, if Yang Guang can reuse these two people, presumably this Da Sui can still be saved. The premise, of course, is to find these two people.

has not seen Du Ruhui yet, and Li Xuanba is already deeply impressed.

can be valued by Gao Xiaoji, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, as long as he does not make mistakes, sooner or later he will be able to enter the court and enjoy the glory and wealth. But Du Ruhui directly chose to abandon the official position, I don't know if he made such a decision because he saw the future of the Great Sui.

"Could it be that the ancients could really be so smart?" Li Xuanba sighed with emotion, and said to himself: "If you are really so powerful, no matter what, I can't let you go to his side!" ”

Knowing the situation of Fang and Du, Li Xuanba was not in a hurry to find them, he was waiting for one thing.

Wei Zheng dared to admonish, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were good at making decisions, and the three of them could become the pillars of the country.

But the premise is that Yang Guang can clearly realize that the Great Sui is already in a precarious situation, and then recognize people and make good use of them to revive the majesty of the Great Sui.

The veterans of the Su Wei and the two dynasties inevitably ended up cutting officials for the people, who dares to guarantee that Wei Zheng and others can be reused by Yang Guang?

So Li Xuanba was waiting, if Yang Guang didn't go to Jiangdu, then he would do his best to recommend talents for Yang Guang with the knowledge of later generations; If he is still obsessed, then Li Xuanba can't care so much, so he can only try his best to save the lives of him, Yang Gao and others.

Li Xuanba would not be naïve to think that someone would look at his face and let Yang Guang and others go, so he only has the right to speak if he establishes his own power.

And the memories of later generations make Li Xuanba know better than others: who to recruit.

After sitting in silence in the tent for a long time, Li Xuanba burned the letter, and then left the tent as if nothing had happened

The relocation of the big households in Dongjun is undoubtedly a relief for Li Xuanba.

As soon as Zhu Zhe and others arrived in Luoyang, they sent people to send money and silver to the Tang State Mansion. Li Gou naturally did not refuse to come, and smiled happily. After Wei Zheng learned about this, his brows were deeply locked, and his heart was very uneasy.

More than a dozen large families lived in Luoyang, which was not a trivial matter, and soon there was an imperial history to impeach Zhongyongwei for abusing his power and using official ships without permission.

As a result, Yang Guang just smiled faintly and said, "Zhongyongwei is giving me money in the province, what do you know?" After finishing speaking, Yang Guang not only did not blame Li Xuanba, but in front of the courtiers, he made people pass on the decree and praised Li Xuanba.

The ministers knew in their hearts that they would not be blamed for doing such a thing, and only Li Xuanba, Yuwen Chengdu and others were the only ones who would not be blamed, so although Li Xuanba was praised, no one dared to follow him.
