Chapter 53 Raising Truth

readx;

In fact, Li Yuan's status in the Sui room has always been a little embarrassing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

said that he was ostracized, Yang Guang was really suspicious of him, and even wanted to kill him; It doesn't seem wrong to say that he was reused. Just look at Li Yuan's performance of duties in the past nine years from the great cause, you can see the clues.

In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan served as the guard of Honghua County (now Heshui, Gansu) and had the right to levy soldiers from the thirteen nearby counties; In the eleventh year of the Great Cause, he served as a major event in Shanxi and Hedong, and had the right to choose civil and military officials from counties and counties. In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan served as the Taiyuan Guard, and his power was even stronger. Yang Guang wanted to use him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to suppress him and suspect him, which was also quite an interesting thing.

Since the great cause 12 years ago, Li Yuan's power has been prosperous, and his sense of crisis has also been even greater.

Later generations often said that Li Yuan's army was forced by Li Shimin. However, according to Li Xiaoji, he told Yan Qing that after taking up the post of Taiyuan Guard, Li Yuan secretly ordered his eldest son Li Jiancheng to 'sneak into Hedong to marry handsome', also known as his second son Li Shimin, to 'secretly recruit wealthy friends in Jinyang'. How did Li Jiancheng behave in Hedong? Lee Hyo-gi did not specify. However, Li Xiaoji said that Li Shimin spent 100,000 yuan in Jinyang, but he didn't care at all.

Li Yanqing also grew up in the family, and he is not unaware of the situation of the family.

It seems to be a prosperous family, and the money and food are abundant. For example, Hedong Xima Pei can be regarded as one of the best. But Pei Xingyan's monthly routine money is only one hundred and fifty yuan. This is also because he served in the army too early, and Pei Shi gave him preferential treatment. One hundred and fifty yuan, close to 150,000 yuan. In other words, Li Shimin's daily expenses are almost Pei Xingyan's expenses for a month. Where did he come from for such a huge expense?

Li Xiaoji is under Li Yuan, and he is mainly responsible for money.

Therefore, the source of the money in Li Shimin's hands is clear. If there was no Li Yuan nodding behind his back, how could he, Li Shimin, who was less than twenty years old, get so much money? Although Li Xiaoji did not explain, Yan Qing could hear that Li had already prepared.

It's just Li Yuan's sentence 'I think about you all night, and it is also very reasonable.' Now it is said that it is up to you to break the family and die, and it is up to you to turn the family into a country', under what circumstances is it said? However, Yan Qing has always felt that Li Yuan's words do not mean that he wants to entrust state affairs to Li Shimin, but more like a sentence of determination: Anyway, if it can't be done, now you can only give it a go according to what you say.

However, Lee Hyo-gi doesn't seem to know this sentence......

In April, Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing to recruit troops separately, and they won 10,000 people in ten days, claiming to attack Liu Wuzhou. However, the deputy stayed behind Wang Wei and Junya, suspecting that Li Yuan had antipathy and was ready to plot against Li Yuan's surname. However, Li Yuan learned in advance that he would strike first, take down Wang and Gao, and declare to the outside world that these two people colluded with the Turks. In the middle of May of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, after killing these two people, he raised troops and prepared to seize Guanzhong.

That's the general situation, the latest news, it's not clear.

Li Yanqing read the newspaper and sank his face.

Since figuring out this era, Li Yanqing has been eager to hug the Li family's thighs all the time. In the past 20 years, he has been thinking about the things he has been thinking about every night, that is, when did Li Yuan rebel? Especially in the past two years, as the war situation in Shandong has become more and more eroded, Li Yanqing's mood has become more and more anxious. However, when he really heard the news of Li Yuan's rebellion at this moment, he calmed down.

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

Lee Hyo-gi wandered around the room, seemingly hesitating about something.

"Yanqing, what about you? How do you want it? ”

"I decided not to respond for the time being."

Li Xiaoji's eyes widened and he snorted softly, "Yanqing, are you going to ......?"

Of course, Li Yanqing knew what Li Xiaoji was going to say, and shook his head again and again. He smiled bitterly, "Actually, my uncle is now raising troops in Taiyuan, and he has nothing to do with me. I can't help him, and he can't help me. You must know this, Dad. ”

Lee Hyo-gi nodded in approval.

Actually, it's not...... If Li Yanqing responded to Li Yuan at this time, it could greatly reduce Li Yuan's pressure. After all, Xingyang is the hinterland of the Central Plains and directly threatens the eastern capital. If Li Yanqing can raise troops to respond to Li Yuan, he can attract at least half of the Sui army in Hebei. But in that case, Yanqing's danger will become great...... Even if you don't get it right, you will have to worry about your surname.

"Xingyang County is the key to the eastern capital, the throat of Heluo.

But again, it is also the land of four wars. Since the opening of the Tongji Canal, it has become a place where the eight Qu are rushed. I can raise troops to respond, even if I form an alliance with Li Mi, I will inevitably be attacked from all directions. Li Mi is unreliable, and it is normal to stab me at a critical time. Wang Shichong has a big enmity with me, and he will definitely not let me go. Although I served as the ambassador of Henan, the governor of the four counties and fifty-two counties. But there was too much time to build up my own strength. Besides, how many people in the four counties and fifty-two counties are still willing to obey the emperor's edict? It sounds good that I am the ambassador of Henan's arrest, but it is ugly, but it is just an empty shell.

So, I can't raise troops to respond to my uncle! And if my uncle can't even get a foothold in such a situation, what's the use of me responding?

He wants me to respond, yes!

After he sat firmly in the pass and cleared the customs, I didn't say a word and immediately set up the army. ”

Lee Hyo-gi didn't get angry, but showed a satisfied smile.

"Yuwa'er, if you can keep such a clear head, even if I go back, I can rest assured."

Li Yanqing is telling the truth, and there is no falsehood. The so-called four counties and 52 counties under the rule of the Henan Arrest Ambassador include Xingyang County, Dong County, Liang County and Yingchuan County. Today, Dongjun has been completely eroded and has become the base camp of Wagangzhai; Liang County is too busy to take care of itself, and he has long lacked people's resources; Yingchuan County is also overwhelmed by bandits for a long time; Although Xingyang County itself is still vigorous, the five counties of Kaifeng, Weishi, Xinzheng, Yangcheng, and Daliangcheng have been lost, and Li Yanqing only has six counties left in his hands, so how can he say that there are fifty-two counties?

If the Henan ambassador could be implemented two months earlier, Li Yanqing would definitely be able to integrate some forces.

But now, he has been given too little time......

Yan Qing has not only been to the concept of fifty-two counties until now, and he has never been to most of them, let alone understood them.

However, Yanqing couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Li Xiaoji's words.

"Dad, where are you going back?"

Li Xiaoji sat down next to the bookcase and said with a smile: "Naturally, I went back to Taiyuan." ”

"Why?"

"Yanqing, my father came here this time, firstly, to promote the marriage for you, and also to settle the concern in my father's heart; The second is to see how the situation is on your side, and whether you need your father to help you. Originally, Dad couldn't bear to put such a big deal on you. But now it seems that you are doing a good job. Now that you have a lot of talents, after you officially take office, you may not be able to say that there are many generals, but you can also be a prince. Dad is relieved......

Now, your uncle is raising troops in Taiyuan, and he must be in ruins, and he is also in urgent need of manpower.

Although he also gathered a lot of great people under his account, such as the innocent patriarch Sun Shunde, and your uncle Dou's nephew Dou Cong...... Now all under your uncle's account. But there are some things that are indispensable to the help of one's own people. Your uncle has taken me in for so many years, and I need to repay the kindness, don't I? And I'm also familiar with those things in Jinyang Mansion, so I can help him.

Now, Lee's is ready to shoot and has to be sent.

To further turn the family into a country, take a step back and the family will be ruined, and we will no longer choose. Therefore, Yanqing, you are doing a good job in Xingyang, and after the world is settled, my father promised you not to do anything, and let you talk with you every day, so don't bother me when the time comes. ”

Li Yanqing really didn't know how to persuade Li Xiaoji, and his mind was very messy.

After a long time, he asked softly, "Then when will you leave?" ”

"I thought about it, the situation is urgent, and if I go back sooner, I will be able to relieve your uncle's sorrows sooner.

So, as soon as the morning dawns, I'll go...... Don't persuade me. Dad assures you that this is the last time Dad will be separated from you, okay? ”

Li Yanqing's cheeks twitched twice, and then he lowered his head.

"Dad, I'll make you tea."

"Good, good...... Let's drink my son's skillful tea again, and see it off. ”

The father and son sat on the porch outside the house, and Li Xiaoji leaned on the pillars of the porch as if he was in the Dou family school, enjoying the scenery outside the porch, and talking to Yan Qing without a word. As for the celebration, he quietly crushed the tea leaves, boiled boiling water, and cooked the tea to serve his father.

Their topics ranged from the construction of Luoyang that year, to Yanqing's trip to Shuzhong, and then to the conquest of Goguryeo......

It seems that there is no end to this.

Lee Hyo-gi sometimes laughed, sometimes his face was sad.

As for Qing, he forced a smile and catered to Lee Hyo-gi's words from time to time.

"Son, my father has been a wanderer in this life, and he has achieved nothing.

The only thing I am proud of in this life is to have a son like you. You kid is very intelligent, and you have the ability to change. He is also very steady...... However, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too steady, and if it's too steady, it's too steady, and it becomes twilight.

I'm like you, a rabbit flying. Ride the fiercest horse, sleep the most beautiful woman, until you meet your mother, you can be considered to have made up your mind. Thinking about it now, the absurdity of those years is also a kind of memory...... Yanqing, you should be sharper and more flying, so as to live up to your good age. In your book "Three Kingdoms", you once said that Sima and Zhuge were in dispute. Sima is curious, Zhuge is cautious. Neither of these can be taken, but if it can be neutralized, it is wonderful. ”

Li Yanqing smiled, Li Xiaoji at this time seemed to be not only his father, but also his confidant and friend.

The two chatted and chatted, not feeling sleepy.

Yan Qing fell asleep on Li Xiaoji's lap, while Li Xiaoji leaned against the pillar, humming an unknown song in his mouth, and gently patted Yan Qing's back.

Until, the golden rooster dawns!

******

When Lee Hyo-gi came, the carriage rumbled.

When he left, he simply ...... He only brought five or six followers, and he didn't make a noise, and left Gongxian in the early morning, accompanied by Yanqing.

He went eastward, crossed the river after crossing the tiger prison, turned from Hanoi to the east of the river, and went straight to Taiyuan.

Originally, Yanqing was also going to send some additional escorts to Li Xiaoji, but Li Xiaoji refused. He told Yan Qing that Lu Chisong, the county commander of Hedong County, had already surrendered to Li Yuan. The two rivers are relatively calm now, and when the time comes, he can take advantage of Hedong County and go all the way smoothly.

If you bring too many people, it will be a little bothersome.

If someone is aware of the relationship between the Li family and Yanqing, it will be a little bad!

Li Yanqing had no choice but to let Li Xiaoji.

The father and son went out of Gong County for ten miles, and Yanqing wanted to give him another ride, but was stopped by Li Xiaoji.

"When the day dawns, don't be like that little child.

Yanqing, you are now married, and you can be regarded as Chengren! According to the rules, I should write for you in a few months. But now it seems that I may not be able to catch up with the time...... That is, it has become a ding, and this table needs to be prepared early. I thought about it, and I gave you the word 'Yangzhen', how about it? ”

Yangzhen, Li Yangzhen?

It sounds a little awkward.

But the ancients were very particular about their words, not what they wanted to be called, just what they wanted.

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment, raised his head and smiled: "The word Yangzhen is very good, thank you father for giving me the word." ”

"Alright, it's time for me to hit the road...... You should go back sooner.

Be more careful with yourself and don't be reckless. Now that the situation is chaotic, if it is really unsupportable, it is enough to give up. Where there is life, there is hope. ”

Yan Qing smiled and said: "Dad, you just have to rest assured, Li Mi and Wang Shichong don't have the ability to make me give up." ”

"Well, that's good, that's good...... Fly a little more, just like a young man in brocade. ”

Lee Hyo-gi laughed and rolled over his horse.

Walking around Yanqing twice, he suddenly tapped Yanqing's shoulder with a horsewhip, "Yuwa'er, take care!" ”

"Teacher, take care!"

At this time, there were more and more people on the road, and Yanqing couldn't call out loudly.

He looked at Lee Hyo-gi's back, drifting away, and suddenly his heart seemed to become very empty. He muttered, "Dad, you have to take care!" ”

******

The summer of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause was particularly chaotic.

Li Mi raised troops in Taiyuan, causing the world to oscillate. At the same time, Wang Shichong tried to sneak attack Yangcheng County across the Mountains, but was noticed by Qin Qiong, burned the sheep intestine path, and beat Wang Shichong to flee in embarrassment. The commander of the army, Shi Weijin (the son of Wei Xiaokuan), died tragically in the chaos.

Wang Shichong finally escaped under the desperate protection of the general Yang Gongqing and the tiger Benlang general Wang Bian.

After reorganizing the remnants and regrouping in Biling, Wang Shichong went to the eastern capital of the book, crying that the troops were too thin, the soldiers and horses were too few, and it was difficult to defeat the thieves.

So Yang Tong ordered to transfer 50,000 horses from Hanoi to Wang Shichong, and ordered him to fight Li Mi again.

At the beginning of June, Wang Shichong, who had obtained a replenishment of troops, reported to Li Yanqing that he went around Heishi Pass and went straight to Yangcheng County. This time he no longer attacked with surprise troops, but broke through with regular troops. However, because Qin Qiong had already taken precautions, he reported it to Kaifeng Li Mi. Li Mi immediately ordered the left Wuhou general Shan Xiongxin and the right Wuhou general Xu Yuanlang to divide the troops into two routes, one from the Dalu Mountain around the Songgao Mountain, cut off Wang Shichong's retreat, Shan Xiongxin personally led 20,000 soldiers, and Qin Qiong in Yangcheng County, and Wang Shichong decisive battle in Songgao Mountain.

This was originally a close battle, and the two sides fought for three times, and each other was damaged.

However, the harm of Wang Shichong's cross-county battle also appeared, just when he was in the middle of a fierce battle with the Wagang army, Xu Yuanlang suddenly appeared behind him, and under the attack of the two phases, Wang Shichong visited again. And this time Wang Shichong was even more miserable, and he broke Liu Kui of Hanoi County and Zheng Qianxiang of Yanshi County. His nephew Wang Daoling died tragically in the chaos, and his clansman Wang Long was also killed by Qin Yong in front of the battle......

After losing both battles, Wang Shichong was no longer able to fight Li Mi, so he fled back to Yanshi and no longer dared to attack without authorization.

thought that after the two defeats, Wang Shichong would not be able to escape responsibility.

But he doesn't want to cross the king Yang Tong, he is indeed a gentle and generous person. did not ask Wang Shichong about his crimes, but ordered to recruit troops from Shangluo to supplement the troops under Wang Shichong's command.

"In my opinion, it's not that King Yue doesn't want to cure Wang Shichong's crimes, but that there is indeed no one under his command!"

Li Yanqing sat in the car, with a pure white, lion-like four-eyed mastiff crawling beside him. This little mastiff is a four-eyed and thin-waisted offspring, and is less than two months old. This time, four little mastiffs were born with four eyes, which happened to be divided by Li Yanqing and his wife.

And the four-eyed and slender waist, as well as the other six mastiffs that have grown up, follow Xiao Nian.

Yan Qing gently stroked the top of the white mastiff's head and said to Xue Shu: "Now there are only three people who can fight in Luoyang." Duan Dajiu sparse the battle array, and Pei Renji needs to guard Luoyang. Even if King Yue wanted to change people, he couldn't find a suitable candidate. Although Dugu Wudu was successful, he only arrived in Luoyang after all. Pang Yuhuo Shiju had learned from the past, so before Dugu Wu was not familiar with Luoyang, Wang Shichong must be safe. ”

"But what if Dugu Wu is familiar with it?"

In the carriage, there was also a thin man, about thirty years old, who seemed to ask curiously.

"Is Junhiko going to test me?"

"Ah, don't you dare!"

This man was surrendered by Xue Shui that he took refuge in Li Yanqing and became the ancestor of Secretary Yanqing.

However, he has now changed his name to Zu Shou, although he still calls him Zu Junyan in private, but on the table, Zu Shou, the secretary of Henan's arrest ambassador, is a serious official from the seventh grade.

Li Yanqing laughed and said: "Jun Yan, don't be nervous, you have this question, it means that you already have the answer in your heart."

Hehe, let's just communicate in private, and we don't have to abide by the master-slave etiquette. Slang cloud: The dog jumps over the wall. What about Wang Shichong? ”

Xue Shui and Zu Junyan looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

At that moment, the carriage jolted slightly, and then stopped.

"What's the situation?"

The chariot was driven by a soldier with a burly figure and a strong physique.

If Li Mi's subordinates were here, they would definitely recognize this driving man, who was Liu Heimin, one of the four hussars in the Wagang Army.

However, Liu Heimin's current appearance is very different from when he was said to be under the Black Stone Pass.

Today, he is a guard under Li Yanqing, named Wenheita. Li Yanqing is now the ambassador of Henan's arrest and a member of Zhengsanpin.

No one would have thought that Wen Heita was the anti-thief Liu Heimin who was still fighting with Li Yanqing not long ago. Liu Heimin's submission is quite a dramatic surname. Xue Shui said that Zu Junyan was demoted, and Zu Junyan recommended Liu Heimin again. Then Li Yanqing asked Zu Junyan to say that Liu Heimin had been demoted...... Although Liu Heimin was born poor, his surname is very arrogant. However, he was defeated by Li Yanqing, and he was convinced. After surrendering, Yan Qing originally wanted him to serve in the army. But Liu Heimin was unwilling, and would rather drive a car for Li Yanqing and be Li Yanqing's escort than be an official.

"I have admired Li Langjun for a long time.

Since Lang Jun burned the unjust marquis to death, Hei Min admired Lang Jun very much. I only hate to be born poor and cheap, and I have no chance to worship under Langjun. Later, I often listened to Lang Jun's Three Kingdoms in the wine shop and tea shop, although I didn't see Lang Jun, but I worshiped under Lang Jun's door and listened to the teachings.

The black man can have today, and it is also given by Langjun's "Three Kingdoms". Now he is bound under Lang Jun's account, and he is willing to lead the horse and embellished the stirrup, thinking that he is under the door. ”

It can be heard that Liu Heimin's admiration for Li Yanqing has been around for a long time.

In the previous fighting battle array, each was its own master. Now that he has the opportunity to work for Li Yanqing, he would rather not be an official, but also hope to be by Yanqing's side.

Zu Junyan also proved that Liu Heimin is good at talking about the Three Kingdoms, and he often speaks amazingly.

Li Yanqing didn't expect that a work that fought for fame and destiny back then has now become an enlightenment book for many heroes. But since Liu Heimin said so, Yan Qing would not refuse. In fact, Liu Heimin is indeed talented, and he has a lot of experience in the way of managing soldiers.

Yan Qing originally wanted him to join the army, but when he thought of his previous identity, it would not be good for him if it was leaked.

It's better to stay by your side, and it will also have the effect of hiding people's eyes. When the right opportunity is right, push him out again, and it will not live up to his good skills.

It's just that in this way, Liang Laoshi was ousted from his handlebar-style position.

Liu Heimin...... Now he should be called Wenheita, and replied in a low voice: "Lang Jun, there is a checkpoint ahead, and the big black brothers have gone over to negotiate." ”

Li Yanqing said: "This place should be under the rule of Xin Langjun."

Hei Min immediately held the flag and ordered the front to be released. I have important business to go to Xingyang, but I don't have time to delay too much time in front of these checkpoints. ”

"Whoa!"

Liu Heimin immediately picked up a big pole from the back of the carriage and inserted it into the wheel.

In the sunlight, on the black big thread, the gold edge is pinched and the silver line is walked, and the light flashes.

Henan General Town, Arrest Ambassador!

The eight big characters are particularly eye-catching, but the center is bright red like a drop of blood, a big 'Li' character. When the sentry post in front saw this big face, it immediately shouted loudly and got out of the way. The big curtain was hunting in the wind, exuding endless slaughter......

(To be continued)
