After Li Yuan conquered Chang'an, the generals who had slaughtered the Li clan such as Yin Shishi and Gu Yi could not escape the catastrophe, and the rest of the people threw themselves into Li Yuan's arms, and there was no courtier left that Yang Yu could rely on.

After entering the city, Li Yuan was not in a hurry to claim the king's hegemony, but hung Yang Yu in the palace, and only sent nearly a thousand people to protect him day and night, neither letting people in nor letting people out.

Li Yuan entered the Changle Palace, began to govern benevolence, and was busy rewarding.

The courtiers who followed Shouyi, or the people who carried grain and offered advice, were rewarded. After the situation was settled, Li Yuan began to eagerly support the Sui Chamber and support Yang Yu as the emperor!

Looking at the puppet on the throne, Li Yuan was proud in his heart, he had now taken the most critical step, and all the steps were not much different from what he expected.

Taking Xihe, Dingjiang County, Keyongfeng, attacking Tongguan, and breaking Chang'an, all the steps are in order, and now Li Yuan has achieved his own qualitative leap, and his sons have also made great progress

The bell chime rang three times, and the ritual music was over.

Yang Yu sat on the throne tremblingly, looked around at most of the courtiers brought by Li Yuan in the hall, and said with a strong smile, "Today, I ascended the throne as the emperor and changed the year name to Yining, hoping that the world will be peaceful and long-lasting under the righteousness of Tang Guogong." If it's still chaotic today, everything is simple, you Aiqing has something to do, nothing to do"

Before Yang Yu's words fell, Pei Lin went out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." ”

"Pei Changshi is here." Yang Yu saw Pei Lian, who was wearing the same pants as Li Yuan, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and immediately spoke.

"Your Majesty, Tang Guogong has made great contributions to the Sui family; Tang Guogong didn't say anything, if His Majesty didn't say anything, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world? Pei Lin looked selfless, as if he was worried about the world.

Of course, the other people in the hall also echoed him, after all, they had all been rewarded by Li Yuan before; Now in the entire hall, even Yang Yu has been promoted by one level, if anyone has not been upgraded, then Li Yuan will be left.

The righteous civil and military officials obviously couldn't bear the negligence of the leader Yang Yun.

Li Yuan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately scolded Pei Xiao and said, "Pei Changshi, you must not be rude to Your Majesty. Supporting the Sui Chamber and cleansing the Central Plains is just a matter of my responsibility, so how can I ask for a reward? ”

Yang Yu is not very old, and he is also from a royal family in the end, how can he not know about Li Yuan and Pei Lian's singing?

Now that the news of Yang Guang's death has spread throughout Chang'an, Yang Tong in the eastern capital is too busy to take care of himself, and the moment Li Yuan invades Chang'an, he has already realized that the Sui family is dead.

Two days ago, Li Yuan wanted to push Yang Yu out to be the mascot, he was unhappy in every way, but what if he was not happy, he was now a fish on the chopping board, and if he wanted to live, he was at their mercy.

As soon as Pei Lian, Li Yuan and others sing and harmonize, can't they act on the spot?

With such an awareness, Yang Yu didn't have much emotional fluctuation in the face of the drama in front of him, and immediately stood up and advised, "Pei Changshi's advice is very reasonable, it is indeed my negligence, and Tang Gong's merits should be rewarded." ”

After all, it was the master who had seen it, Yang Yu only hesitated slightly, and then said loudly, "Tang Gong has made meritorious contributions to supporting the Sui family, and I have crowned Tang Gong as the king of Tang. All the military and political affairs of Xijing, regardless of size, are handled by the Tang King, I don't know what the Tang King wants? ”

Yang Yu's reward for Li Yuan fully expressed his puppet status, because these rewards had been borne by Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sima Yuanxian, Huan Xuan, Yang Jian and others, which meant that he was ready to be laid off at any time.

The reason why he casually promised so many rewards is probably because of Yang Yu's sarcasm about Li Yuan in his heart, right? ――Everyone knows what's going on, how do you want to play, let's pay you how to play?

The Chinese martial arts officials of the palace all thought that Yang Yu and Li Yuan had already passed the anger, so they did not express any dissatisfaction, and Li Yuan bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty's love, the old minister is ashamed." ”

When the predecessors in history received this award, they also habitually shirked it a few times, and Li Yuan probably also read the Sui Dynasty version of "The Self-cultivation of Actors", and he still has three flavors for this set of plots.

"King Tang is too humble! All these government affairs must be handed over to the Tang King, but I am afraid that the Tang King will have to work hard, and I am ashamed in my heart. Yang Yu's self-cultivation was not much worse than Li Yuan's, and he immediately made an extremely ashamed expression.

The two sides excused themselves three times, and Li Yuan finally accepted the reward that originally belonged to him, and then turned around and announced to the hundred officials in the palace, "Your Majesty has just ascended to the great treasure, and there are all kinds of waste to be done, and we courtiers should not bother him with trivial matters." This king decided that from now on, the Wude Hall will be the prime minister's house, and the lonely will deal with political affairs in the Qianhua Gate every day. ”

Li Yuan immediately entered the role, saying that he was lonely, and everyone naturally knew who was the person who was talking here, and immediately echoed him.

After Li Yuan left the Daxing Palace, he came to the Qianhua Gate, and from then on he began to deal with all the affairs except for worshipping the heavens and ancestors.

One order after another was passed down like flowing water, but Li Yuan did not have the slightest tired expression, and the excitement of the power filled his body and mind, and he felt that he was twenty years younger.

Li Shimin followed Li Yuan to Qianhuamen, and waited until his official business was handled properly, and then he briefly said the content of Fang Xuanling's conversation with him that day.

A few days ago, he had been working hard to conquer Chang'an, and Li Shimin was naturally thinking about being the first to enter the city, so he couldn't think of the crisis in Taiyuan and the next step after taking Chang'an a few days later.

As early as when he entered Chang'an City, Li Yuan sent Li Jiancheng to reinforce Hedong, but for the distant Taiyuan, his thoughts did stay before Li Shimin heard Fang Xuanling's suggestion.

After listening to Li Shimin's analysis, Li Yuan immediately said, "Call them all here and discuss the alliance with Hebei and the Eastern Capital as soon as possible."

Li Yuan's order was given, but he heard that Xue Rengao, the son of Emperor Xue Ju of Qin, led an army of 300,000 to attack Fufeng and coveted Xijing!

After hearing the news, Li Yuan's head suddenly dizzy, and the spirit just now disappeared in an instant.

Xue raised his troops in Longxi, called himself the overlord of Western Qin, occupied the land of the four counties in a short period of time, and took Jincheng as the capital and founded the country as Qin; Qin's sphere of influence was in the upper reaches of Weishui, due west of Chang'an City, and the total area of the four counties exceeded the area actually controlled by Li Yuan in Guanzhong at present.

In the intelligence, Xue Rengao led an army of 300,000, but Li Yuan did not believe it, because the population of the territory occupied by Xue Ju was only one million at most, and the troops he could levy were no more than 100,000 people; Even so, Li Yuan still felt a little headache.

If you want to occupy Guanzhong steadily, the battle with Xue Ju, Liang Shidu and Li Liang is inevitable, but Li Yuan does not want the war to be started by the local government, but now

Li Yuan believed that Xue Ju also had the same view of the heroes who occupied Guanzhong, so he rushed to Guanzhong non-stop, but he didn't expect Xue Ju to come so quickly; Previously, Li Yuan still had some luck in his heart, thinking that Xue Ju might cross the Yellow River west to attack Li Rail of Wuwei.

Xue Ju himself was very fierce, and his son Xue Rengao was also a difficult enemy for ten thousand people, and he was nicknamed "ten thousand enemies" by a sergeant. -- This title is the same as Pei Yuanqing's, and it can also be seen from this that he has a fierce ability to fight alone.

But Xue Rengao's words, Li Yuan obviously wouldn't take them seriously, after all, his son Li Xuanba was not inferior to him; The problem is that the soldiers in Longxi are very fierce and absolutely difficult to deal with.

Li Yuan took the eight-hundred-mile rush from the front line, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Li Shimin watched Li Yuan get the letter, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately asked carefully, "Father, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Xue Ju's son Xue Rengao led the army to attack Fufeng, this is Liu Hongji's letter for help" Li Yuan sighed, and immediately passed the letter to Li Shimin, this matter will be discussed immediately, and he didn't think about hiding it from Li Shimin.

"300,000 troops!" When Li Shimin saw this number, he couldn't help but gasp, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately said with a smile, "Xue Ju only has four counties, and it would be good if the total army could have 100,000, so Xue Rengao can bring so many people?" ”

After listening to Li Shimin's analysis, Li Yuan nodded, and they thought of going together.

After analyzing the information, Li Shimin asked Li Yuan with burning eyes, "Father, my son is willing to send 30,000 elite soldiers under Shuai to aid Liu Hongji, and Xue Rengao will return in vain!" ”

Since Li Yuan started the army, Li Shimin has really won a lot of battles, especially the victory in the Battle of Huoyi has established his position in the army, so the name Xue Rengao is not easy to fight, but he is still full of fighting spirit like a newborn calf.

Li Yuan still looked at Li Shimin's fighting spirit very much, but he still habitually scolded, "Nonsense! I've just won two battles, and I don't know who my name is, right? ”

Li Shimin was about to open his mouth to distinguish with his father, but he heard footsteps outside; When Li Shimin lifted the curtain, he saw Li Xuanba and Li Xiuning coming first, followed by Chai Shao and Li Yuan's henchmen such as Changsun Shunde, Pei Lian, Yin Kaishan, Tang Jian, and Liu Zhenghui.

Li Yuan called these henchmen to come, originally wanting to discuss with them to send envoys to the eastern capital to seek an alliance with Hebei, but now the news of Xue Rengao's attack on Fufeng was obviously more urgent.

When the people were almost there, Li Yuan went straight to the point and directly told the information sent by Liu Hongji, but as a matter of course, he concealed such a ridiculous thing as "300,000 troops".

Before Li Yuan's words fell, Li Xuanba, Li Xiuning, Chai Shao and other generals stood up one after another to ask for battle, asking to lead troops to block Xue Rengao's attack.

Li Yuan was happy about the passion of young people, but he asked Yin Kaishan Dao, "Kaishan, you have been to Fufeng before, and you are most familiar with the terrain there; In your opinion, can our current forces hold the wind? ”

Yin Kaishan twisted his goatee and replied affirmatively, "Liu Hongji is very calm, and it is never a problem to keep Fufeng." Although Xue Rengao is strong, we don't have to confront them head-on, as long as we send strange soldiers to attack their grain routes, Xue Renguo grain and grass will not be able to help, and we will be defeated. ”
