522 Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor

As early as a month and a half ago, Wang Bo chose to send troops to Pingyuan County, but in the end, the loss of troops returned in vain, and he has not recovered so far. Β€Top Novel,

In the face of the Su Youjun who crossed the river, Wang Bo thought about surrendering, but he was really unwilling; But if he fought hard with Su Youjun, Wang Bo obviously knew that his side was not an opponent.

In desperation, Wang Bo had no choice but to go to Beihai to ask for help from Sun Xuanya, Xu Yuanlang of the Lu army, and even Zhai Rang of Wagang.

Wang Bo had cooperated with Sun Xuanya, but he was an enemy with Dou Jiande, and he was obviously unwilling to be defeated in the hands of the Hebei army.

Coming to Qi County is a revisit to Su You's hometown, and his first career starting point is on the shore of Bancheng Lake in Qi County, where there are not only his friend Yan Shigu, but also his business partner Xia.

Based on these factors, Su You was more inclined to let Wang Bo come out and surrender than to use artillery to smash the city in front of him.

In desperation, Su You only divided his troops to besiege Qi County, temporarily forming a confrontation with Wang Bo.

At the same time, Wang Shichong of the Eastern Capital can be said to be in the limelight, he not only recovered a large area of land in the south of the Eastern Capital, but also accepted more than 20 former ministers of the Sui Dynasty who returned to the Eastern Capital from Liaocheng.

And the rest of the old ministers of the Sui Dynasty all went to Guanzhong, and now they have also entered Tongguan.

As soon as he entered Tongguan, Su Wei heard several good news in a row, the first was that Li Shimin was ashamed and brave, and finally fought a turnaround battle in Qianshuiyuan.

is still in Gaokeng, or in Shallow Water Plain, last time it was Li Shimin's defeat, but this time it became Xue Rengao.

After the sudden death of Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin, the throne of King Qin was naturally inherited by Xue Rengao, who was known as the enemy of 10,000 people, but his personality was extremely cruel and lustful, and he was very suspicious of his subordinates.

Li Shimin stuck to the city, and while training his troops, he constantly sent cavalry to harass Xue Rengao's grain transportation team as Xue Ju did to him last time; It wasn't until Xue Rengao's army burned the grain twice that Xue Rengao's hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly fell into a situation of lack of food, and people were panicked from then on.

And because Xue Rengao had no virtue to restrain his subordinates, as soon as the Second Battle of Shallow Water Plains began, several teams of the Qin army chose to defect to the battle, just like the original Wagang Army and Yu Wenhua and the Jiangdu Army led by them.

This is all caused by a lack of food, and these people who are soldiers in troubled times are actually very realistic, which well reflects the correctness of "having milk is a mother".

As a result, it was also the same as the battle between the Wagang army and the Jiangdu army, Xue Rengao was quickly defeated and returned to the city, and then Li Shimin rebelled against the guest and divided his troops to surround the city where Xue Rengao was located.

Because of the lack of food, Xue Rengao's soldiers climbed the wall and came out to surrender to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had already calculated Xue Rengao's thoughts, captured him in an ambush battle, and thus defeated the elite soldiers led by him.

On the second day, after Li Shimin decisively beheaded Xue Rengao for public display, the Qin army fell into a leaderless situation.

Li Shimin has now struck while the iron is hot and led the army to march to Longyou, and there should be no surprise for the Tang army to recover Longyou.

On the other hand, Li Xuanba has now taken Shuofang, and the Liang division was killed by him in the chaotic battle, and the territory originally occupied by the Liang division was recovered in only four or five days.

After Guo Zihe of Yulin learned the news that Liang Shidu was defeated and died, he decisively chose to surrender.

The strength supported by the Turks in the north of Chang'an City fell to Li Xuanba one after another, and only the Tang army, which occupied most of the land, and Li Liang, the king of Liang, remained in the Guanzhong region.

Li Liang watched Li Tang's power expand day by day, and immediately said that he would rebirth the alliance with Li Yuan and enter into a strategic partnership and a non-aggression agreement.

At this point, Guanzhong has stabilized.

Su Wei and hundreds of other civil and military ministers, after entering Chang'an, gave Li Yuan a big gift, that is, they jointly wrote to the Tang King to change his course and ascend the throne as the emperor.

On June 18, Yining Emperor Yang Yunchan was located in Li Yuan, living in the palace of the king of Xun, and was named the prince of the neighboring country.

Tang King Li Yuan felt that it was disrespectful, so he had to ascend the throne as the emperor in the Taiji Hall of Daxing Palace, change the name of the country to Tang, and build Yuan Wude.

Lishizi Jiancheng was the crown prince, the second son Li Shimin was the king of Qin and Feng Shangshuling, the third son Li Xuanba was the king of Zhao, the fourth son Yuanji was the king of Qi, and Li Xiuning was the princess of Pingyang; The county was reinstated, the Taishou was the history of the thorn, and Wang Yun was pushed to Tang as the Tude, and the flag was changed to yellow.

Li Yuan claimed that the emperor represented the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Guanlongmen lords and nobles, so except for a very few pedantic elements who were desperate for the Sui Dynasty, the vast majority of officials and magnates expressed their please.

If the new dynasty changes the yuan, if it does not move closer to the imperial court, the result will be marginalized; If you don't choose to be in the same boat with the court, the court will abandon you.

For most ordinary people, there is not much difference between Emperor Jin's surname Yang and his surname Li.

As long as the current emperor can give himself something to eat and can barely survive, they will support it; On the other hand, if they are poor and have no shelter from the rain, they will naturally take risks and rise up to resist.

When Li Yuan ascended the throne, except for Li Jiancheng, who escorted the officials of the old Sui Dynasty back to Chang'an, the rest of the concubines were in other places.

Li Shimin was still in Longxi to conquer the remnants of the Qin army, Li Xuanba collected Guo Zihe's army in Yulin, Li Xiuning had arrived at Weize Pass to prepare for the army to Hebei, but Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was in Taiyuan City.

Li Yuanji likes to dance with guns and sticks, and often recruits his slaves, guests, maidservants, and concubines together, and makes them wear armor and use real knives and guns to do combat acts, which is obviously fatal.

Many subordinates were killed or injured as a result, and Li Yuanji himself was injured, but he enjoyed it and still played around.

Li Yuanji also likes to hunt, and the big scene of eagles and flying dogs galloping horses during hunting is particularly attractive to him.

Li Yuanji often went out hunting with Dou Dan, trampled on the farm's fields and crops, and indulged his cronies to plunder the property of the people.

Yu Wenxin has advised Li Yuanji many times, Li Yuanji obeyed on the surface, but behind his back, he vented Yu Wenxin's advice to others.

After many times of advice to no avail, Yu Wenxin had no choice but to impeach Li Yuanji for Li Yuanji's dominance.

After Li Yuan was impeached by Yu Wenxin, in order to appease his emotions, he temporarily removed Li Yuanji from his official position and let him think about it behind closed doors.

Just a month later, with the help of Dou Dan, Li Yuanji relied on various means to either coerce or coerce the gentry and elders of Jinyang to write a letter to ask for his life and keep him as the governor of the state.

Li Yuan originally wanted to pretend, but now that he has a step, even if he agrees to the requests of those celebrities and scholars in a retreating manner, he will immediately reinstate Li Yuanji and still hold the military and political power of Jinyang.

Yu Wenxin was unconvinced, but he also knew that Li Yuanji was Li Yuan's son, if it was undecided today, who else could Li Yuan believe except that his son would not betray him?

Taiyuan County is Li Tang's Longxing land, and it is better to hand it over to his son than to an outsider.

Dou Dan is not only Li Yuan's wife's maiden family but also his son-in-law, Yu Wenxin has rich combat experience, and with these two people assisting Li Yuanji, Li Yuan can go south with peace of mind.

When Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, there was also a small episode in the middle, that is, Liu Wuzhou dangled around Jinyang City and had an attempt to attack Taiyuan; Then Dou Dan and Li Yuanji hurriedly asked Li Yuan for instructions, and the army's morale fluctuated at that time, which almost made Li Yuan's great cause of advancing Guanzhong a failure.

Fortunately, Li Shimin regained the morale of the army, which allowed Li Yuan to go south smoothly.

It was this little episode that made Li Yuan feel that Yuanji's son was very obedient and promising!

Li Yuan doesn't need his son to be very capable, but the most important thing is to be obedient. Because he thinks about all of his sons, because more often than not, he is the one who is in control.

As long as Li Yuanji follows the steps, there are tens of thousands of strong soldiers in Taiyuan, and there is enough food to eat for ten years.

Hold Taiyuan, there is no difficulty!

Shortly after Li Yuanji's official office was originally established, Liu Wuzhou, the son of Dingyang Tianzi, took Wei Chigong as the striker, with the help of Su You's secret weapon of support; Raise troops from Yanmen and go south to attack Li Tang's Taiyuan County.

Wei Chigong, as the vanguard, led 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 cavalry, which can be described as huge.

Along the way, the cities under the banner of Li Tang did not dare to fight, either they defended the city to the death, or they changed their doors and surrendered to Liu Wuzhou.

Around the time when Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an, Wei Chigong's troops had approached Jinyang City, and the troops had arrived in Yuci.

Just after lunchtime, Yu Wenxin followed the servants of the governor's mansion into the living room, but he only saw Dou Dan but not Li Yuanji, and then asked a little puzzled, "What about the governor?" ”

Dou Dan spread his hands, "Sleep." ”

Yu Wenxin immediately asked, "When will you wake up?" ”

Dou Dan said with some dissatisfaction, "It's rare for the manager to take a nap, why are you in a hurry to wake him up?" ”

Dou Dan's position is the palace supervisor, and Yu Wenxin is a general, and the positions of the two are respected by Yu Wenxin; But if you really want to talk about real power, Dou Dan is obviously far above Yu Wenxin, which is also the main reason why he ignores Yu Wenxin.

Secondly, Yu Wenxin took it as his responsibility to supervise Li Yuanji in Taiyuan, but Dou Dan regarded Li Yuanji as a good master and brother.

Facing Yu Wenxin, who once impeached Li Yuanji, it is strange that Dou Dan can give him a good face!

"There is news from the front, Liu Wuzhou has signs of using troops in Taiyuan, do you think you should notify the chief?" Yu Wenxin saw Dou Dan's emotions in his eyes, but he could only turn a blind eye, and slowly said the purpose of this trip with anger.

"What? Could it be that they will go around and go back again, like last time? Dou Dan was immediately startled, and then a suspicious look appeared on his face.

Because of the last time Dou Dan lied about the military situation, many people in the circle pointed at his backbone and scolded the coward, he couldn't really afford such a mistake.

If this kind of oolong thing happens again, I will be embarrassed to say hello to others when I go out in the future.

"The inner supervisor of the palace, my responsibility is to find out that there is danger, and then notify you and the chief manager as soon as possible, as for whether they are the same as last time, please forgive me for not being sure."

Dou Dan then asked, "How many soldiers and horses did they come?" ”

Yu Wenxin shook his head, "I can't be sure about this. ”

"General Yuwen, don't you think it's funny? Last time, you lied about the military situation and asked me to report to King Tang in a hurry, and almost made me carry the black pot for you. You are not sure about anything now, so you came to tell us that Liu Wuzhou is here, are you planning to let me be looked down upon by King Tang again? ”

After saying this confidently, Dou Dan immediately brushed his sleeves away.

Yu Wenxin waited for a long time and didn't see Li Yuanji wake up, so he could only leave abruptly.
