In "The Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin", there are: the cunning rabbit dies, and the good dog cooks; The high bird is exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; The enemy country is broken, and the ministers are killed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that this country is undecided, does Li Yuan want to hide all the birds?
Li Yanqing stood on the bamboo tower with his hands in his hands, looking at the scenery of Houhu Lake from the window. On the lake, the innocent is boating with the green clouds, and the laughter like silver bells is sent with the wind; Duoduo was in the open space outside the forest by the lake, teaching Xue Rengui and Song Lingwen to work hard as usual.
Behind him, footsteps rang out.
Li Yanqing did not look back, still motionless.
The person who can walk up to the bamboo tower silently, in this Li Mansion, even Shen Guang can't do it.
Because downstairs, Xiao Nian is doing a female celebrity. Her skills are not very good, but there are two big and two small and four mastiffs around her.
The four-eyed and slender waist of an adult are extremely fierce, and they can give birth to cracked tigers and leopards, and their strength is infinite.
Li Yanqing once saw Siyan on the street, biting four or five vicious dogs into a pool of blood, and he was only injured by flesh and skin.
Shen Guang is certainly powerful, but if he wants to deal with the four-headed and four-eyed mastiff at the same time, although he will win, he will also alarm the upstairs. Unless, it's Xiao Nian who stops it.
"Yangzhen!"
The person who walked up to the bamboo tower was the eldest grandson Wuji.
Yan Qing didn't look back, "Mowgli, but you have something to say?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated, and finally decided to get straight to the point, "Yangzhen, is there a move in Chang'an that is not conducive to you?" ”
"I don't know."
Yan Qing turned around, his eyes calm, "But I have to guard against it." ”
"Who is going to disadvantage you?"
"I don't know, so I'm going to be prepared."
One question and one answer is enough to explain a lot of things. The eldest grandson Wuji is also a talented and intelligent person, so he can't hear the meaning of Yanqing's words.
There are indeed people who are ready to be unfavorable to Li Yanqing.
But one thing is for sure, this person who wants to be detrimental to Yanqing is not Li Yuan.
Eldest Sun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said softly, "It's probably not too late to change your mind now." ”
Yan Qing's eyes smiled into a slit, crooked, like a half-round waning moon.
He took a deep breath, "How do I change?" ”
"This ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth, but at the end he breathed a sigh of relief and did not answer.
Yes, at this time, how should Yanqing change? Self-reliant portal! Obviously not a good idea. Xingyang is the land of four wars, although the population is large, the money and food are abundant, but it is difficult to last. Don't look at the fact that displaced people from all over the world come to Xingyang now, that's because Xingyang County is much safer than other places and can eat a full stomach; But once there is a war, the displaced people can come, and naturally they can leave.
Seek refuge with others?
Yan Qing is a person in Li Valve, who can believe him?
Instead of sending people under the fence, it is better to do things properly for your own family. Besides, in this world, who can be stronger than Li Yuan?
Li Mi, no!
He is ambitious, capable, and has the means, but he is too angry.
Wang Shichong...... More unlikely. If Li Yanqing defects to Wang Shichong, then ninety percent of these people under his command will leave immediately. Whether it's Xue Shui or Du Ruhui. Including Yao Yi, Zu Shou, and Xu Jingzong, they came because of Li Yanqing. But they may not be able to accept it, and Yan Qing takes refuge in a master who has no future.
Yan Qing said with a smile: "Wuji, tell Da Lang and Lao Du that Li is not so easy to be calculated."
The man in this world who can calculate me has not yet been born! Playing conspiracy and tricks, I am not afraid of anyone. If someone does the first year of junior high school, I can do fifteen. Let me bow my head, yes; But if you want to ride on my neck, I will be killed by him, and I will lose both. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also smiled!
Yan Qing's words were sonorous and powerful.
Yes, Li Yanqing is not the kind of poor scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken. His abilities, his talents, and his means......
No one has been able to surpass him, at least for now.
If Li Yanqing can be ten years older, it doesn't need to be much, just ten years old! I can't say which surname Li is in this world, but it is not yet known.
"After I send my troops, Niu Zhukou will be entrusted to you.
Xingyang County's affairs are up to you, don't be careless; When the time comes, I will let Yao Yi preside over Heishi Pass, and Lao Du will sit in Luokoucang. If there is any disturbance, you can make your own decision. In short, when I attacked Hanoi, everything in Xingyang was entrusted to you. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji intervened and bowed, "Rest assured, make Xingyang, sit back and relax." ”
"I trust you guys."
Yan Qing's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, but in the light of those eyes, there was a bit of a terrifying cold chill......
******
In April, Du Fuwei sent troops from Liyang, forcibly captured Taoye Mountain, captured Hushu, and pointed directly at Guabu Mountain, threatening Jiangdu County; Fang Xuanling crossed the river from Yanling, with Xie Yingdeng as the vanguard, and captured the Yang Palace again, which was only a stone's throw away from Jiangdu Palace.
Yu Wenhua felt a huge pressure.
At the same time, Xiaoguo under his command seems to have no intention of staying in Jiangdu any longer. Yu Wenhua had to lead his troops to return to the west, and Tang Fengyi, Niu Fangyu, and Xue Shiliang went hand in hand. At the same time, Yu Wenhua was suspicious of Sima Dejiao, and was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which was called promotion, but in fact seized military power.
Sima Dejiao was extremely angry, so he bribed Yuwen Zhiji and won 10,000 soldiers.
When they arrived in Pengcheng, the waterway was impassable, the sergeants were burdened, and the soldiers and horses returning to the west were resentful. Sima Dejiao and Zhao Xingshu conspired to attack and kill Yu Wenhua, not wanting the matter to be revealed, Yu Wenhua and pretended to be hunting, and after the rear army captured Sima Dejiao, he beheaded Sima Dejiao and Zhao Xingshu. Although the rebellion was put down, it caused a violent shock to the Xigui army. In just a few days, the number of deserters was as high as thousands.
In the same month, Xiao Milling rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, presented the old Liang system, conquered Nanjun (i.e., Jingzhou), and moved the capital to Jiangling.
Lingnan Sui generals Zhang Zhenzhou, Slang Shuai Ning Changzhen, Jiaozhi Qiu and heard that Emperor Yang of Sui was killed, and they all attached to Xiao Miao. So from Jiujiang in the east, to the Three Gorges in the west, to the Hanshui in the north, and to Jiaozhi in the south, all of which are obtained by Xiao Milling. Xiao milled 400,000 soldiers and horses, dominated the south, and faintly captured the south of the Yangtze River.
In May, Yining Emperor Yang Yu, Chan was located in Li Yuan, Xun lived in the palace of the king, and was named the prince of the neighboring country.
Tang King Li Yuan ascended the throne in Chang'an, built Yuan Wude, restored the county and state, took Taishou as the assassin history, and pushed Wang Yun to take Tang as Tude, and changed the banner to yellow.
Li Yuan ascended the throne on May 13.
At the same time, Li Yanqing suddenly sent troops from Xingyang, presented the king to rebel, led 10,000 troops, crossed the Yellow River and attacked Hanoi, and took Wen County in three days.
After the Xingyang army captured Wen County, it immediately divided into two routes.
Li Yanqing ordered Xue Shui to be the general of the Western Expedition, with Luo Shixin as the guerrilla general, and went straight to Qiziling; Li Yanqing led an army by himself, with Liu Heng as the vanguard officer, to capture Linqing Pass. For a time, Hanoi was full of smoke. Although there are not many soldiers and horses, Yanqing is well-trained and brave. In addition, Li Yanqing's reputation among the people is not weak, and the Xingyang army is under his command, and the autumn is not guilty, which makes the people of Hanoi welcome him.
Since the end of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, after Wei Wensheng died of illness in Hanoi, Hanoi has been like scattered sand.
Bandits are rampant, and bandits are rampant. Li Yanqing's troops advanced in two directions, and fought viciously repeatedly, only to defeat the bandits in Hanoi, and they were terrified. Wei Deshen, the Taishou of Jijun, was seriously ill at this time, and he was overjoyed when he learned that Li Yanqing had crossed the river to attack. He gave an order from his sickbed and ordered Xu Shiji, the governor of Ji County, to send troops to join Li Yanqing. After Xu Shiji received the order, he immediately asked Pei Xingyan to lead his troops westward and approached Linqingguan.
……
Xingyang, Zhengfu, Shujingtang.
Zheng Renji's face was pale, and he almost trotted all the way to a house in the backyard.
"Dad, why are you here so late?"
In the small cross courtyard, Zheng Hongyi was talking with a few people, and when he saw Zheng Renji appear, he quickly got up and greeted him. Behind him, several men also stood up. Under the light, one of them looked about fifty years old, with gray hair but good spirits.
He is about seven feet seven inches tall, or about 178 centimeters.
The physique is slightly thin, wearing a green shirt, revealing an outstanding demeanor. With a black beard under his chin, he has a delicate appearance and a bookish atmosphere.
To his left, there were two burly middle-aged men, who were brothers Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Yuancong.
To the right of the man stood a young man, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a dignified appearance and a somewhat steady air.
Zheng Renji couldn't care about greeting Zheng Yuanshou and a few people, and grabbed Zheng Hongyi's arm.
"Hongyi, let me ask you...... When you go back to Xingyang, have you ever visited Li Langjun? ”
Zheng Hongyi was stunned, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Dad, you know my current identity, Brother Yanqing is still working for the Sui family, if I suddenly appear, wouldn't I be caught in the net?" ”
"Didn't you tell Li Langjun?"
"Oh, no!"
"Brother Xian, what's wrong with you? We came in secret, how could we meet the Li family's children? ”
Zheng Yuanshou always had a little resentment towards Yanqing.
Although he appreciated Yanqing very much, his biological son forced Zheng Yuanshou to kill him because Li Yanqing did not go to Luoyang.
Even Zheng Yuanshou knew that Zheng Xing was to blame, but in his heart, he was a little unhappy with Yan Qing after all.
Jung In-gi looked at everyone, and then smiled bitterly.
"Brother Yuanshou, now Xingyang, is no longer the Xingyang of the past.
Although the Zheng family is still respected, it is because Li Langjun holds it with one hand...... To put it mildly, in this Xingyang County, there are Li Langjun's eyes and ears everywhere. I thought you had informed Li Langjun of the knowing, so I didn't ask. But now...... Li Langjun has sensed your arrival. ”
Zheng Yuanshou was stunned, "What can he do if he perceives it?" ”
"Brother Yuanshou, just now the eldest grandson Langjun recruited me to the government office.
Oh, that eldest grandson Langjun is the little son of the eldest grandson general back then, and now the official worships Xingyang Sima, and he is stationed in Niuzhukou.
He used to be very polite when he saw me. But today...... He told me that starting from September 10, Xingyang County will revise its tax law and rectify its household registration. In the future, Li Langjun will not be taxed by population, but will only measure land. The deep meaning, can the eldest brother understand? ”
"Abolish the poll tax and change the land tax?"
Zheng Yuancong screamed in surprise, and then said angrily: "Li Yanqing is too arrogant...... Where is he revising the tax law, it is clearly taking advantage of us. Our Zheng family has the most land in Xingyang County, isn't it the heaviest tax? Brother Renji, you must not nod your head in this matter, otherwise it will be difficult for my Zheng family to make a plan. ”
The man, who had not spoken, frowned on the side.
"Second brother, don't worry, and listen to Zheng Gong."
Zheng Renji said: "If I don't nod, what can I do?"
Now the second room is closer to Li Langjun! Zheng Weishan is almost the only one who looks to Li Langjun, and the people from the south seem to have no opinion.
On the way back just now, Zu Xinggong secretly revealed a sentence to me. He asked me if something had gone wrong lately...... I hadn't reacted at first. But when I got to the door, I realized that this so-called tax law of apportioning the land into the mu was probably targeted by Li Langjun. ”
He didn't explain what Li Yanqing was targeting, but the people present were all smart people, so how could they not hear the clues?
Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Yuancong subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man, but when they saw the middle-aged man's face, it became a little strange.
"Shaojun."
Zheng Hongyi hurriedly stepped forward, "What does the general command?" ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Zheng Hongyi with a wry smile, "I'm sorry for you to take my name, and rushed to Gong County overnight to meet Li Langjun...... So saying, I will not arrive. ”
"General, you are ......"
Zheng Yuanshou exclaimed, "If you go to Gong County, it will be tantamount to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger." That Li Yanqing is a ruthless person, how can he let you go? ”
"Zheng Gong rest assured, Li Langjun will never do anything to his father."
The young man on the side spoke: "It's better to go to Gong County with Zheng Shaojun first, and we can explain it to Li Langjun in person." Feng Jie said that Li Langjun is not an unreasonable person. As long as the matter is explained clearly, presumably he will no longer embarrass Zheng Gong. ”
The words of the father and son made Zheng Renji, Zheng Yuanshou and others fall into the clouds.
Zheng Hongyi suddenly became agitated and looked at the young man, "Brother Daoyan, you mean ......?"
The young man shook his head, "This matter is a long story, and it is by no means a sentence or two that can be made clear. However, Li Langjun's relationship with us is extraordinary.
Zheng Gong, what Li Langjun did this time was not aimed at the Zheng family. ”
If Zheng Renji and the others don't understand these words, they will live in vain!
Zheng Renji smiled bitterly and said, "General, what kind of trick are you playing?" Li Langjun is not in Xingyang now, and according to the eldest grandson Langjun, Li Langjun had crossed the river into Hanoi two days ago. At this time...... He is afraid that he has already captured Wen County and rested in Hanoi. ”
When the middle-aged people heard this, they couldn't help but change color.
"Li Yanqing, troops into Hanoi?"
He and the young people around him looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.
Zheng Yuanshouqi said: "This is good, what did Li Yanqing do in Hanoi?" Across the river, isn't he afraid of breaking his stomach? ”
Zheng Renji said softly: "Hanoi is connected to Ji County. ”
"What?"
Zheng Hongyi hurriedly said: "Xu Shiji Xu Langjun, I have known Brother Yanqing since childhood, and they can be regarded as growing up together and have a deep friendship.
Brother Xu is now stationed in Liyangcang and serves as the governor of Ji County. If Brother Yanqing captures Hanoi, it will be equivalent to connecting Hanoi, Ji County and Xingyang...... Brother Yanqing has always planned to move later, and since he wants to capture Hanoi, he must have a plan. ”
The young man bit his lip and looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man blushed, and after a while, he suddenly hated and turned around and walked back to the room.
Zheng Hongyi thought about it, walked to the young man's side and whispered: "Brother Daoyan, Brother Yanqing's capture of Hanoi is not meaningful?" ”
He ...... This is a demonstration to the emperor! ”
Li Daoyan smiled bitterly, "I'm sure the emperor must have some regrets now......"
******
The emperor in Li Daoyan's mouth is Li Yuan.
On May 13, after he accepted the Zen throne in Chang'an, he led hundreds of civil and military officials to climb the Nanshan Mountain to worship the sky.
This ceremony of sacrificing to heaven is extremely grand. Li Yuan first worshiped heaven and earth, and then worshiped his ancestors...... A series of rituals that lasted for half a month.
During this half month, the ceremony could not be interrupted.
Therefore, the big and small matters of Chang'an are all undertaken by Li Jiancheng and the state. After the sacrifice was over, Li Yuan returned to Chang'an.
As soon as he sat down in the Wude Palace, he didn't even have time to drink his saliva, and an attendant came to report that Li Jiancheng was asking to see him outside the hall.
Li Yuan couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly let Li Jiancheng in.
"Bishamen, so panicked, could it be that something big happened?"
"Father, it's a big deal......
"What's the matter, tell me slowly."
Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said prostrately: "When my father and emperor end up worshiping the heavens, raise him ......."
Li Yuan sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.
Since sending Li Shentong to Xingyang, Li Yuan thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he seemed to have taken a stupid step.
"What's wrong with him?"
"When the father and emperor entered the south to worship the sky, he said, Yangzhen led his troops across the river, invaded Hanoi, and said that the heavens were rebellious.
On the fifteenth, after he captured Wen County, he immediately divided his troops into two routes. Hedong Xue Xue Dalang took Luo Shixin as the vanguard, captured Wangwu County on the 24th, and captured Qiziling...... The father should know that Qiziling is the boundary between Hanoi and Hedong. Now there is still Yao Jun in Hedong who will not surrender to the death, and General Qu Tutong can not help him. Raising real soldiers to Qiziling greatly boosted Yaojunsu's morale.
General Qu Tutong stormed three days, but he did not advance an inch...... On the 26th, Xue Dalang invaded Yuan County, and the forced General Qu Tutong had to retreat thirty miles to avoid being attacked by Xue Dalang.
In addition, after Yang Zhen sent troops from Wen County on the 15th, he swept through Hanoi in 12 days and joined forces with Pei Xingyan, a guerrilla general of Ji County, at Linqing Pass. Changping and Jiangjun were already ready to be attached to us, but after Yangzhen now captured Hanoi, the two counties seemed to be a little hesitant. ”
Li Yuan's face was pale, he stared at Li Jiancheng, and he was speechless for a long time.
"What about the Zheng family now?"
"Uncle Wang has arrived in Xingyang County, but his whereabouts have been exposed.
He wrote to inform him that Yangzhen had begun to suppress the Zheng family and had An Yuantang for his own use. Zheng Gongrenji is now under great pressure and has words of suffering. Raising a true brother-in-law, that is, the eldest grandson Wuji, the son of the eldest grandson general, sat in Niuzhukou and suppressed the four families of Zheng Pan and Cuilu one after another, causing the four families to begin to waver. Fan Yang, Lu Chisong, and Lu Gong sent a letter, if Xingyang is not appeased, Shandong will be uneasy...... Dou Jiande is also eyeing Shandong, if the trouble in Xingyang is not solved as soon as possible, then Fan Yang Lu's family is afraid that something will happen......"
The problem is that Li Shentong wants to explain to Li Yanqing now, but he can't meet Li Yanqing.
Yan Qing's small step immediately put Li Yuan in an embarrassing situation.
"Bishamen, you can put aside the matter of raising the truth for the time being, and you don't need to worry about it.
This kid is probably misunderstood, as long as someone goes forward to explain it, there is no need to worry about it...... You invite Dou Gong to come. ”
Li Jiancheng withdrew from the Wude Palace, and Li Yuan sat for a long time.
Suddenly, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Yangzhen, Yangzhen, you are really a rammer, just like sixteen years ago, you can't stand the slightest grievance." ”
