Chapter 18 Li Yuan Rises Troops

In Taiyuan City, Li Yuan's family was anxious like ants on a hot pot, restless. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Jiancheng, the son of the world, said: "Father, the second brother has been gone for so long, there is no news so far, the army of Yuwenshu has passed through Taihang Mountain, and yesterday just passed the Jingcheng Pass, and there are only two days left from Taiyuan.

Before Li Jiancheng's words fell, the third son Li Yuanji said: "It's all to blame for that Langya Pavilion, what Langya Pavilion has to meddle with, and the fourth brother is written as King Zhao, isn't this an irony that we have the intention of rebellion?" Father, why did you send the second brother to go to that Langya Pavilion, in my opinion, since we have no way out, we just uncover the rod, anyway, it is a death, it is better to fight vigorously once! ”

Li Yuan was upset, and when he saw Li Yuanji chattering on the side, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and yelled at him: "Fight, fight, fight, you know how hard you work, do you know how many people there are in Yuwenshu?" Let me tell you, 50,000 people are the most courageous Xiaoguo army of 50,000 Great Sui, what do you tell me to fight with them?

Li Yuanji wanted to refute a few words, but when he saw that his eldest brother Jiancheng was constantly signaling to him not to contradict his father, he swallowed what he wanted to say.

And at this time, Li Yuanba, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Father, don't worry, there is Yuanba, no matter who it is, don't want to hurt one of your hairs of your father!" ”

Li Yuan's heart warmed, he still said that his young son was like a word, and he knew that he was considerate of his father, although he would definitely not be able to withstand thousands of troops alone, but he had always been demented, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart, and there was absolutely no truth or falsehood like other sons, which made people unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so Li Yuan was very pleased.

"Yuanba, are you hungry? Let's go eat something delicious! ”

Li Yuan was upset in his heart and decided to go out to breathe, he didn't want to take his eldest son and third son with him, taking them would only upset him.

"Good! All right! Yuanba wants to eat a lot of delicious food! ”

As soon as Li Yuanba heard that Li Yuan was going to take him to eat something good, he immediately grinned and smirked.

He was only thirteen years old, and he looked very thin, short and dark, and not only that, but his intelligence level could not keep up with his age, and at the age of thirteen his intelligence level was about the same as that of a child of five or six years old.

Seeing his father walk out with Yuanba, Li Jiancheng sighed slightly, and Li Yuanji said indignantly: "Big brother, father trusts the second brother so much, you have to be careful, the second brother has always liked to make friends in the rivers and lakes, and you and I don't know how much strength is hidden under his hands, to be honest, I'm worried!" ”

After Li Yuanji finished speaking, he sighed and was very worried, Li Jiancheng was not as pessimistic as him, he was relieved: "The second brother has such a temperament and likes to make friends with heroes in the world, this is not a bad thing, the third brother should not worry too much, isn't the power in the hands of the people of the world the power of our Li family?" For now, let's think about how to get through this current difficulty! ”

After the two finished speaking, they heard Li Yuanba's excited voice coming from the courtyard outside: "Second brother, you're back, have you brought anything delicious for Yuanba?" ”

Li Jiancheng was overjoyed and said, "The second brother is back, let's go, let's go out and have a look!" ”

The two walked out of the courtyard, and even Li Shimin knelt on the ground and said to Li Yuan: "The child is fortunate not to be dishonored, and went to the Langya Pavilion on the Langya Mountain, and asked the pavilion master of the Langya Pavilion for a trick, which is written on the way to solve the dilemma in front of us, father, please take a look!" ”

After saying that, he raised a bag and handed him to the top of his head, Li Yuan took the bag and asked Li Shimin to get up, while Li Yuanba began to pester Li Shimin and begged him for food.

Li Yuan opened the bag and looked at it a few times, his eyes were shining, and his expression became resolute, "Okay, since the world-famous Langya Pavilion Lord has persuaded me to do something, then what are we waiting for!" ”

Li Jiancheng was taken aback before, he didn't understand what was written on this bag, how could his father's attitude change so much after reading the contents of this bag.

He originally stated to Li Yuan a lot of choices that could be made at the moment before Li Shimin came back, one of which was to raise troops immediately, but Li Yuan did not agree, because he felt that the land east of the river was backed by Saibei and the Yellow River in the south, and it was difficult to have a turnover foothold after raising troops. That's why he seems to be indecisive and doesn't dare to act lightly.

"Father, what's written in this bag?"

Li Jiancheng saw that Li Yuan's attitude changed greatly after reading the contents of this bag, so he became curious.

Li Yuan didn't say anything, so he handed him the bag and let him see it for himself.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly dismantled and looked at it, and it was written like this: The whole country's eastward crusade is all because of Guanlong, the rebellion of the six towns is still in my heart, success is also Guanzhong, defeat is also Guanzhong, Li Tang's hope is only in Xijing!

Li Jiancheng was shocked in his heart, this person is really talented, in just one sentence, he summed up all the thoughts in the heart of Emperor Yang of Sui, saying that he poured the strength of the country and led the army to the east to conquer Goguryeo, in order to take the opportunity to eliminate the strength of Guanlong, so as to resolve the dissatisfaction of the nobles in the Guanlong area after he moved the capital to Luoyang, so as to weaken or even completely solve the great troubles of the henchmen of all dynasties since the Six Towns Rebellion.

Li Yuan was named the Duke of Tang Guo, this Li Tang naturally refers to Li Yuan, Xijing refers to Chang'an, does this mean that they will develop to Chang'an after raising troops?

Li Yuan was reluctant to start a big reason before was that he didn't know where to develop after the army, he had thought about going to Chang'an, but he didn't want to give up Taiyuan, and even wanted to go south to attack Luoyang, he thought the same as Yang Xuangan before, thinking that if Luoyang was taken, the world would definitely be shaken, and the situation would definitely become more chaotic, so he hesitated.

And at this time, since Langya Pavilion's advice to him was to go west and take Chang'an, he would no longer hesitate.

Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, proclaimed himself the king of Tang, led 5,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City, plus his own county soldiers, a total of more than 15,000 people, before the arrival of Yuwenshu's army, marched to the southwest, crossed the Yellow River, and came to Hexi, along the way he actively contacted the Guanlong nobles, Dugu clan, Changsun clan and other wealthy families responded to Li Yuan, not only sent him a large number of young children, but also provided him with a large amount of grain, grass and property, making Li Yuan's strength stronger and stronger, when he came to Chang'an City, There are nearly 80,000 men under his command!
