Since the Li family set out from Taiyuan in May of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, and successfully entered the Guanzhong in October of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, it took less than half a year during the period, and the speed was not fast, except for Li Yin, no one could have imagined that there would be such a result in advance.

There are many reasons why the Li family was able to enter Guanzhong so quickly, one of which was that Yang Guang, the son of heaven, was trapped in Jiangdu, and Li Mi, Xue Ju and other powerful rebels were bound by their own affairs and were unable to march to Guanzhong.

Second, Li Yuan was originally a member of the Guanlongmen valve, and he was the Taishou of Honghua County, and the thirteen counties of Jiedu Guanright, and he had a deep personnel relationship in the Guan, so when he entered the Guanzhong, he could get the support of high-ranking officials and nobles and ordinary people, which was a harmonious person.

Third, there are many talents under his command, not only Liu Wenjing and other resourceful people to give advice, but also Li Yin, Li Shimin and other warlike people who lead troops to kill the enemy, so even if the location is not advantageous, they can win every battle.

If Li Yuan still insists on returning to Taiyuan under the persuasion of Li Yin and others, the Li family is only afraid that they will be trapped in the end to defend the land of several counties, and if Li Yuan is still unable to make the decision to cross the Yellow River to the west, he is afraid that he will still be trapped in Hedong County and cannot move, how can he have the current situation?

Many factors add up to the destiny of heaven, so they can quickly capture Chang'an and enter the main pass, laying a solid foundation for the future hegemony.

Li Yuan immediately entered Chang'an, first let Li Yin and Li Shimin work together to maintain order in Chang'an, let Chang'an restore peace as soon as possible, and then slowly replace Sui.

The first thing Li Yuan had to do was to support Yang Yu, the acting king, in order to occupy the position of righteousness.

On October 15, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan arranged a guard of honor to welcome the acting king Yang Yu in the Tianxing Palace, that is, the emperor's throne, changed the year name to Yining, and granted amnesty to the world.

After that, Li Yuan entered Chang'an from Changle Palace, and Yang Yu specially gave Li Yuan to hold Huang Yue and hold the festival, and entrusted the military governors inside and outside the capital, Shang Shuling, and the prime minister, and was named the king of Tang.

Li Yuan took the Wude Hall as the prime minister's mansion, changed the official documents issued from the religion to the order, and handled political affairs in the Qianhua Gate every day.

On October 18, Yulin, Lingwu, Pingliang, and Anding counties all sent envoys to request the surrender of Li Yuan, the king of Tang.

On the 19th, Yang Yu issued an edict: All military and political affairs, no matter how big or small, and whether civil and military officials hold their posts, the implementation and punishment of the rules and regulations will all be handled by the Prime Minister's Office. Only in the suburbs to worship heaven and earth and the four seasons to sacrifice ancestors to play Yang Yu.

Of course, since Li Yuan entered Chang'an, all of Yang Yu's edicts came from him, and Yang Yu just stamped a seal and went through the motions.

On the 22nd, Li Yuan rewarded the sons, named Li Jiancheng as the prince of the Tang Kingdom, named Li Yin as the Duke of Jingzhao Yin and the Duke of the Jin Kingdom, named Li Shimin as the Duke of Chang'an and the Duke of Qin, named Li Yuanji as the Duke of Qi, and named Li Zhiyun as the Duke of Song.

In the past, the titles of Li Yuan's sons, whether it was Dunhuang or Lingwu, were only a county, and now Jin, Qin, Qi, and Song are all the domain of a country, so although the title is still a duke, it is no longer comparable to the previous one.

In the reward, Li Jiancheng is not only the son of the Tang Kingdom, but also the heir of Li Yuan, although he did not get other titles, but he is undoubtedly the most rewarded.

And the worst reward is Li Zhiyun's Song Guogong, although Song was not weak in the Spring and Autumn Period, but he never dominated the princes, compared to Jin, Qin, and Qi.

Jin, Qin, Qizhong, Qin finally swept Liuhe, unified the world, seems to be the best title, but Jin is not only a strong country in the Spring and Autumn Period, but later there is a Sima Jin who inherited the dynasty Zhengshuo, so Li Yin's title, if it is the Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is inferior to Li Shimin, but if it is Sima Jin as the public, it is not much different, of course, Li Yuan did not say this clearly, it can only be guessed.

As for the positions of Li Yin and Li Shimin, they should have been appointed by Li Yuan in order to temporarily stabilize the situation in Chang'an and Jingzhao.

In short, the four brothers all have their own gains, and as for the differences, they can only be tasted by each.

Just when the Li family successfully entered the Guanzhong, a great change was also taking place in the land of Jingxiang.

Luo Chuan Ling Xiao Mill, is the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Western Liang during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because Yang Guang's queen is his uncle and aunt, so he was promoted to Luo Chuan Ling by Yang Guang's relatives, and is known as a prestige in Jingxiang.

Xiao Mo has royal blood because of his conceit, and has always wanted to rebuild the Liang Kingdom and reproduce the glory of his ancestors, so after the chaos in the world, he has been contacting Haoqiang in Jingxiang, intending to rebel, but because his strength is still insufficient, he hides it.

But in October of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, things took a turn for the better.

Baling County lieutenants, Poyang Dong Jingzhen, Lei Shimeng, brigade commanders Zheng Wenxiu, Xu Xuan, Wan Zhan, Xu Deji, Zhang Xiu and others plotted to occupy Baling County and rebel against the Sui court, and everyone unanimously wanted to elect Dong Jingzhen as the main leader.

Dong Jingzhen excused himself and said: "I have always been poor and lowly, and I am not convinced by everyone. After Luo Chuan ordered Xiao Mo to be the royal family of the Liang Dynasty, he was lenient and generous, please recommend him as the Lord to obey the expectations of the people. ”

So Dong Jingzhen sent a messenger to Luo Chuan to inform Xiao Mo that he would serve him as the master, and Xiao Mo happily agreed. He claimed to be a thief, recruited several thousand people, and prepared to go to Baling County.

But at this time, Shen Liusheng, the thief commander of Yingchuan County, invaded Luochuan, and Xiao Mo led the army to fight against him, so he said to Shen Liusheng's subordinates: "Now that the whole world has rebelled, the decrees of the Sui Dynasty can no longer be implemented, and the heroes of Baling have raised troops and want to elect me as the master." As long as I listen to their request, order Jingxiang and capture Jiangnan, I can revive the Liang clan's national unity, and summon Shen Liusheng, and he will follow me. ”

Although the Liang State has been destroyed for decades, it still has a great appeal in the land of Jingxiang, so after Shen Liusheng's subordinates heard it, they were all very happy, so they all obeyed Xiao Miao's orders.

So Xiao Mo called himself the Duke of Liang and restored the Sui Dynasty's uniforms and banners to the old system of the Liang Dynasty, and Shen Liusheng also led the crowd to join Xiao Miao.

Xiao Mo appointed Shen Liusheng as the general of the chariot cavalry, and the army was only five days old, and tens of thousands of people came from near and far to join him. So Xiao Mo led the crowd into Baling County.

Dong Jingzhen sent Xu Deji to lead hundreds of heroes from Baling County to come out to greet Xiao Miao.

When Xu Deji and the others hadn't seen Xiao Mo yet, Shen Liusheng discussed with his henchmen: "We are the first to recommend Liang Gong, and the meritorious service should be the first." But now the generals of Baling County are all high-ranking soldiers, if I enter the city, I will be under them, it is better to kill Xu Deji, detain their leader, I will support Liang Gong alone, enter Baling County, then there will be no people with a higher status than me. ”
