As soon as Li Yuan's summoning order was given, the relevant generals set off to come to the palace one after another, but before the personnel arrived, Su Wei Xiao Yu of the cabinet took the initiative to ask for advice.

In order to maintain the image of Corporal Lixian and diligent government, Li Yuan naturally had no reason to stop them, but the Xiliang State Book they brought made him angry.

Xiliang's letter of state was sent by Deng Xiao, the secretary of Li Liang's book, and no matter what the content of the letter was written, the words "Emperor Daliang from the younger brother" at the end made Li Yuan extremely uncomfortable.

Judging from this payment, Li Liang obviously wanted to be on an equal footing with Li Yuan, and blatantly tore up the agreement that was torn up three months ago, and refused the official position granted by Li Yuan.

The reason for this situation also has a lot to do with the current situation in Liangzhou.

At first, Li Liang raised troops against the Sui according to Liangzhou, and won the support of Liang Shuo, a local celebrity; Li Liang took Liang Shuo as the mastermind and awarded the secretary the secretary's book.

Liang Shuo is full of history books, wise, and strategic, and everyone is afraid of him.

Liang Shuo saw that the Hu people who had migrated from the Western Regions were prosperous, and advised Li Liang to be vigilant, so he had a bad relationship with An Xiuren, the Shangshu of the household department; Zhong Yan, the son of Li Rail, once greeted Liang Shuo, but Liang Shuo did not get up for him, and Zhong Yan was very disgusted.

And this is what Li Liang is happy to see, so that he can control the political power and maintain the balance of power.

The reason why Li Liang was willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty was mostly because he listened to Liang Shuo's opinion, after all, with a remote place like Liangzhou, it is okay to defend the land and protect oneself, and it is okay to divide one side, if you want to go further and enter the Central Plains to compete for the world, the difficulty coefficient is inevitably too high.

Li Liang also had a clear understanding of this, so he recognized Liang Shuo's suggestion, which led to the fact that he sent an envoy to Chang'an three months ago to Li Yuanxu and the snake.

According to the situation at that time, the only one who had the best chance to seize the world was Li Tang, Li Yuan not only received the support of the Guanlongmen valve, but also occupied rich lands such as Hedong, Guanzhong, and Taiyuan, with many soldiers and generals, and a noble family.

Li Liang is powerless to win the world, so he naturally has to lean his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade, Li Yuan is obviously the most suitable crooked neck tree to choose at the beginning; Therefore, when Li Tang and Xue Ju clashed, Li Liang also sent troops to attack and harass Xue Ju's rear, which could be regarded as fulfilling the obligation of an ally.

But three months later, the general trend of the world is different from the beginning, not only because the force that is most likely to unify the Central Plains has now become Su You's Yunzhong Army, but also because Liu Wuzhou brazenly went south, posing a threat to Taiyuan County.

Li Tang's situation is really precarious!

After Li Liang sat in the position of King Liang for a long time, he gradually had the idea of rebellion, and An Xiuren and others did what they liked, offering it to the wizard and goddess, saying that this was a warning from God to him, and he must obey it.

Under the introduction of An Xiuren, Li Liang secretly met with the Turkic envoys, and the two sides also reached some secret agreements, which forced Li Liang to change his mind and tear up the previous alliance with Li Tang, refusing to recognize Li Yuan's imperial status.

Liang Shuo naturally opposed Li Rail's practice of not knowing life or death; He bitterly advised Li Liang, saying that An Xiuren and other Hu people harbored evil intentions and should be expelled from the court.

Zhong Yan and An Xiuren and others did not have a good relationship with Liang Shuo, so they took the opportunity to frame him as Li Tang's spy at this time, and they would soon lead Li Tang's army to extinguish Liang.

Li Liang did not wipe the evil of his son and An Xiuren for a while, so he poisoned Liang Shuo's house and watched him swallow poison and die.

As soon as Liang Shuo died, the break between Li Liang and Li Tang was avoided.

Li Rail poisoned Liang Shuo, and hidden dangers suddenly appeared in Xiliang, and the gate valve rich gentry who surrendered to Li Rail earlier was frightened in his heart, and he had already separated from Li Rail.

Li Liang's repetition made Li Yuan extremely angry, and he also had the idea of sending troops to attack Xiliang in his heart.

After the generals gathered, Li Yuan first informed Li Liang of the letter handed over by Deng Xiao, and then told the current situation in Taiyuan, and then the ministers offered their own plans.

It wasn't until the time of the lantern that the final plan was decided, but Li Shimin was asked to lead 10,000 Xuanjia troops and 30,000 elites to crusade against Xiliang, and nearly half of the soldiers who originally belonged to Li Shimin and the 80,000 Western Qin prisoners who had just surrendered were all temporarily under Li Jiancheng's account.

Li Jiancheng led the 80,000 people and the 20,000 elites drawn from Hedong, a total of 100,000 people, to rescue Taiyuan.

After receiving the general's order, Li Jiancheng first led 20,000 people to set off, and then Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan and others led 80,000 soldiers separated from Li Shimin to converge.

In addition, Li Daoxuan of the Li clan, who was a friend of the town guard of Hedong, was in charge, and ordered the personnel who sent the envoy to the eastern capital that day to send another envoy in order to reach a non-aggression agreement with the eastern capital.

After this series of changes, Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable, after all, his military power was divided a lot, but he should be happy to be able to lead troops to crusade against Li Liang.

The rescue of Taiyuan can be said to be imminent, and if Li Shimin is about to dispatch troops to Taiyuan to rush to Taiyuan, it will be half a month later, but if the troops are dispatched from Hedong, this time can be shortened by five to eight days

Time is life, Li Shimin will not know this truth, if Li Xiuning and Li Xuanba can be saved because of this, Li Shimin can bear to make some more sacrifices.

Li Shimin doesn't care about Li Yuanji at all, but he cares about Li Xiuning and Li Xuanba.

After making such a decision, it meant that Li Tang was once again facing the situation of fighting on several fronts, but the current situation was obviously better than when he faced Xue Ju.

Li Liang is like a clown jumping off the beam, and Liu Wuzhou is also a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days.

After all, Li Yuan hadn't heard of Su You's secret weapon playing any role in defense so far, so he automatically ignored the fact that Liu Wuzhou had Su You's reinforcements

However, not long after the end of this military meeting, when Li Shimin was still assembling a large army and preparing to divide his troops to Hedong and attack Li Liang, Li Yuan finally received a good news that had not been seen for a long time.

- "After more than two months of hard work, Li Xiaogong, who sent troops to Bashu, finally won the two largest cities in Bashu, 'Bajun' and 'Shu County', and unified the entire Bashu, which is just around the corner! ”

And this news has reached Sanshan as early as a few days ago.

For the dispatch of troops to Bashu, Su You has long been planned, and the old saying "those who get the pass get the world", but to unify the world, the land of Bashu is a link that cannot be ignored.

If you want to make the enemy country you have established a real power, you must not only get Bashu, but also conquer the Western Regions!

Only the dynasties that conquered the Western Regions can be said to be truly strong, which is also the reason why later generations have always been obsessed with the "Han" and "Tang".

Su You has the ambition to realize the political ideals in his heart, and he also knows the desire to "realize the great national rejuvenation", since he wants to compete with Li Tang for the world now, how can he forget Li Shimin's title of "Heavenly Khan"?

If you want to replace "Li Tang", you have to do better than Li Tang!

Although Su You had the ability to seize Bashu as early as when the world was in turmoil, and it was an original idea to take Bashu first and then the world, but Bashu was far away from the war, and Su You did not want to personally bring them the war.

In other words, robbing Bashu is Su You's inevitable means, but he will not appear as an aggressor; The best gesture is obviously a savior, just like they did in Linqiong back then.

After getting the news of Bashu, Su You also began to gather civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.

Although the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Yun China did not know how Su You, Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Jiao Ziheng, Zhang Long and others defined the land of Bashu in the meeting at the beginning of the founding of the country, most of them could obviously see the importance of the land of Bashu, especially now it was Li Tang's forces who seized Bashu.

The land of Bashu was a springboard for Li Tang to conquer Jiangnan, as long as they conquered Bashu, they could start building ships and then fight for Jiangnan.

Yang Su's battle against Nan Chen was like this.

If the Yunzhong Army wants to conquer the forces in the south, the means can be much simpler, after all, Su You now controls the most powerful navy in this troubled era, and it is also the only navy. - If you don't count the forces of Zhang Ding outside Shanghai.

At present, the forces in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River have changed from more than ten branches a year ago to six or seven branches now, and the big ones are even stronger, while the small ones have withdrawn from the stage of history, and the whole has shown a situation of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost; The way of man is to lose more than enough. ”

The way of heaven is egalitarianism, but humanity is "survival of the fittest".

As Fang Xuanling expected, Xiao Mo really came from behind in the southern forces, and after becoming emperor, he tightly compressed Lin Shihong, Du Fuwei and Zhu Cang, and the territory he ruled was now on a par with Li Tang.

Du Fuwei, Zhu Cang, and Lin Shihong were not enough to protect themselves, and Li Zitong and Shen Faxing also shrank on their own turf and began to resume production.

If you have to say that there are enterprising people in the southern forces, except for Xiao Miao, there is only Feng An.

When the emperor was opened, Feng Ang was appointed as the county commander of Song Kang for his ancestral merits.

Wang Zhongxuan, a native of Panyu, rebelled, and many leaders of various ethnic groups in the Lingnan region responded to him, so Wang Zhongxuan led an army to surround Panyu. Feng An's grandmother, Madame Xian, sent Feng An's brother Feng Xuan to lead an army to the rescue, and Feng Xuan, who had always been friendly with the rebel general Chen Fozhi, deliberately stayed and did not enter.

When Mrs. Xian learned about it, she was very angry, so she sent people to the army to arrest Feng Xuan and detain him in the state city prison; In addition, Feng Ang was sent to lead an army to defeat Chen Fozhi, and Feng Ang defeated the rebels and beheaded Chen Fozhi. Feng Ang led his army to the South China Sea, where he joined the forces of the Sui general Lu Yuan, and then joined forces with the Guangzhou defender Murong Sanzang to attack Wang Zhongxuan, who was defeated and Guangzhou was preserved.

Emperor Wen of Sui was appointed as the assassin of Gaozhou because of Feng An's meritorious service in quelling the rebellion.

In the first year of Renshou, the bureaucrats of Chaozhou, Chengzhou and other five states rebelled, and Feng Ang galloped to Beijing and asked the imperial court to send troops to crusade against the bureaucrats. Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the left servant to shoot Yang Su and Feng Ang to discuss the situation of the rebellion of the bureaucrats, Yang Su was surprised by Feng An, he didn't expect that there was such a person among the barbarians!

Immediately, Emperor Wen of Sui issued an edict ordering Feng Ang to recruit troops from Jiangnan and Lingnan to attack the wingmen; After the rebellion was quelled, Emperor Wen of Sui appointed Feng Anjin Ziguanglu as a doctor and Hanyang Taishou.

In the seventh year of the Great Cause, Feng Ang accompanied Yang Guang to Liaodong and was promoted to the general of Zuo Wuwei for his merits.

Most of Feng An's exploits came from quelling the rebellion, but after Yang Guang was killed, he was forced to become the leader of the rebellion.

In just half a year, Feng Ang's influence in the South China Sea has reached 780,000 people, and his territory includes Cangwu, Gaoliang, Zhuya, Panyu and other places.

Thanks to Feng An's good governance, the situation in the South China Sea is stable and the society is peaceful.

Su You, known as the "South China Sea Waves", how can he let the situation in the South China Sea go unchecked?
