Chapter 484: Stiff hands in mid-air
After conquering Wuyang County, the Yanyun army led by Li Xian was not in a hurry to attack other counties this time, but carried out a short rest here, the men and horses were tired of continuous long-distance running, and the blind pursuit of speed was only the end of the strong crossbow, in a short period of time, four or five cities were connected, and the news reached Dou Jiande's ears was shocking enough, and Li Xian was not arrogant enough to think that he would defeat the entire Hebei with the 30,000 people in his hands.
Even if he gets the protection of the gods and magically conquers every city, even if Dou Jiande's men and horses are not opponents, don't forget that Zhuo County is still entrenched in a tiger named Luo Yi, and Luo Yi, who has coveted the counties of Hebei for a long time, how could he watch Li Xian swallow Hebei by himself? The relationship between allies is worthless in the face of sufficient interests, like a thin layer of window paper, which can be broken when stabbed.
Li Xian needed to slow down, the layout that was huge before had now come to unfold. It's not just Dou Jiande in Hebei, it's time to see the results of the arrangement on the grassland in March. Some people are moving too fast and need to be delayed. And Li Xian's biggest layout is not in the Central Plains, but I am afraid that once it succeeds, it will shake the whole world. Li Yuan, Dou Jiande, and Luo Yi all seem lighter than that layout.
Many years ago, there was an old nun who spent the rest of her life laying out a shocking situation, and picked up a child when she was dying, this child was the key for her to open the whole earth-shattering situation, and she knew before she died that sooner or later this child would be able to see everything, but at that time, the overall situation had unfolded, and even she, the person who set up the bureau, could not stop it. And as soon as the overall situation is opened, whether the child who acts as the key is still useful, perhaps in the eyes of the old nun is no longer important.
No one knows what Emperor Wen Yang Jian promised her at the beginning, so that if she didn't do it in the end, it would cause her so much resentment. Although she has not been out of Chang'an City for more than a year, she has buried chess pieces one by one. She assisted Yang Jian to win the world, but before she died, she wanted to destroy the Yang family with her own hands, what is the reason for it, I am afraid that with the death of Lao Ni and Yang Jian, no one will know, even Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Cause, will not know one or two of them.
Years later, the kid who was used as the key may have guessed something, or he knew something from the beginning, so he also began to lay out, and laid out again in the overall situation arranged by the old nun, but who can know except himself, is his layout to promote the old nun's game, or to break the old nun's game?
Naturally, he won't tell anyone to know, what will happen to this game, maybe only he can control a little bit, because he is no longer the key that is useless in other people's bureaus, others abandon him like a piece of, he naturally wants to poke other people's arrangements through.
Standing on the city wall of Wuyang County, Li Xian looked at the vast fields in the north and was stunned.
He pulled his thoughts back from the distant past, and began to ponder the events before him.
Xu Shiji was secretly transferred from Qi County to Dongping County, commanded the army of Yanyunzhai to meet Dou Jiande, and Wu Yunzhao was sent by him to Qi County, pretending to be Xu Shiji's name to attack Zhishilang Wang Bo. All this is a puzzle he arranged, in order to make Dou Jiande not understand the situation of Yanyunzhai. And everything that will happen in Dongping County next, Li Xian has no way to fully control it. He laid out the beginning of this scam, and how to make this game end depends on how Xu Shiji does it.
"Mao Gong ......"
Li Xian muttered to himself: "Except for me, no one knows that you have suffered a big loss under Dou Jiande, although this shame has not happened yet, I still hope that you can wash it yourself." I know that in history, you were a mess, and now I have set it all up so that it doesn't happen again, don't let me down. If I know a lot of things that others don't know, and I have the power to stop some things now, how can I just watch nothing be done? ”
"Just like killing Liu Heimin, even if he achieves great things in the future, the ending may still not change, but what I can't tolerate is that Luo Shixin may die, and I can't tolerate others robbing me of what I want to do, and I specially gave you this opportunity to fight with Dou Jiande, and I don't want to have any regrets."
He looked down at his hands, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously picked up.
Fate?
He shook his head and looked up at the sky.
I changed my own destiny and the destiny of others. People say that human life is predestined by heaven, God, you have brought me to this era, did you think that I would tear up a lot of the fate you have written?
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and Li Xian withdrew his gaze to look up at the sky and turned his head to look over.
The green kite and the phoenix arrived together, and the green kite was still holding an envelope that was still sealed with fire paint. Seeing Li Xian turn around and look over, the two of them leaned over at the same time to salute. Li Xian nodded and took the envelope from the green kite.
"The Ye family sent someone to send it in the starry night, because I don't know where the army has hit, so it was delayed for a while, and it was first sent to Guancheng, and the credible envoy arrived in Guancheng, and the lord led the army to conquer Wuyang."
Huang Luan said softly.
Li Xian hummed and said, "Arrived?" ”
"It's here!"
Qing Kite nodded and said, "This letter was sent back from the grassland after the Ye family arrived. ”
Li Xian smiled, picked up the envelope and took out the letter.
"It's here, it's been discussed, it's begun."
Just these seven words, there is not even a signature.
Li Xian looked at the letter that was so short that people were a little speechless, and thought to himself with chagrin that could it be that writing a few more words would tire your hands soft? Even if you don't write anything, can't you just add the word "don't read" to the end? Writing a few more words is naturally tiring and not soft-handed, don't write two words, maybe someone knows that even if you don't read two words and write a hundred times, Li Xian can't not be worried, it's better to let him think about it, after all, she is a woman, no matter how powerful a woman is, she is still a woman, and Li Xian thought about it after a while.
He handed the letter to Huang Luan, and his slightly furrowed brow slowly relaxed.
"It is said that three women have one play, and I don't know how big a play the three of them can make when they get together."
"Do you say three women in one play?"
Qing Kite was surprised: "Why have I never heard anyone else say such a thing except for the lord?" ”
"Both...... There was once a great philosopher whose name was Du, and he said it, understand? ”
Li Xian said casually.
"What do you mean by a philosopher?"
This time it was Huang Luan who asked.
Li Xian thought for a while and said, "Philosopher...... It is the kind of idler who has nothing else to do all day long, and after eating and drinking, he can look at anything and make a sigh of emotion, from a grain of rice, a straw, they can also think of many things, so as to say something that sounds very reasonable, but is often nonsense and nonsense. ”
"I see!"
The green kite nodded, with a clear expression.
"It's like someone like Wang Qinian."
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said with a slight annoyance: "Why did you only understand the word from the words?" ”
……
……
Changan
Yang Yu, who had already been revered as the emperor, looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military standing in the main hall, and then looked at the only minister in the hall who was qualified to sit beside him, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, as if he was afraid of angering the man. And when he looked at the man, all the ministers in the hall also secretly glanced at the man from time to time.
Now in Chang'an City, there is naturally only one person who is qualified to sit next to the emperor, this person is called Li Yuan, the king of the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister, and the prime minister of the national military and horse affairs.
The reason why everyone, including the new emperor Yang Yun, seemed to be as silent as a cicada and did not dare to come out, all peeking at Li Yuan, but they didn't dare to speak was because there was a dusty messenger standing in the main hall, and this messenger brought a message that made Li Yuan angry. The messenger came from Taiyuan, Hedong, thousands of miles away, and arrived at the behest of Li Yuanji, the fourth son of the Tang Dynasty who stayed in Taiyuan.
Li Yuanji stayed in Taiyuan, and after Li Yuan conquered Chang'an, he supported Yang Yu, the acting king, as the emperor, changed the Yuan Yining, and Li Yuan was promoted to the king of Tang. Li Yuanji was canonized as the Duke of Guzang County, and later the empathetic Yang Yu insisted again and again, and he was named the Duke of Qi, the commander-in-chief of the military of the fifteen counties, the general of the town of Beida, and the generalissimo of the Taiyuan Road march.
At this time, Li Yuanji was no longer the little child who was still spoiled in his mother's arms when he was in Huaiyuan Town. And when it comes to Li Yuanji, I have to mention one thing, you can see his character from this incident, and of course, you can also see the other side of Li Yuan's wife, Dou, a woman who believes in Buddhism.
When Li Yuanji was just born, Li Yuan was not at home, and after Dou gave birth, he asked people to bring the child over and hold him to see, and Dou, who had already given birth to several children, was in his heart the moment he saw Li Yuanji. Maybe there are Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, a few beautiful and lovely children who were as beautiful and lovely as jade when they were young, and Li Yuanji, who was extremely ugly when he was born, made Dou feel very disgusted at first sight.
Speaking of which, Li Yuanji was much uglier than his third brother Li Xuanba when he was born.
Dou looked upset and unwilling to raise him, so he ordered the maid and the midwife to abandon him in the wilderness. Chen was kind and couldn't bear to secretly take the child back at night, and raised it secretly. waited until Li Yuan went home to tell the truth, Li Yuan was furious, and for the first time in his life, he moved a real fire against Dou, and Dou was so frightened that he fainted, and his health has been worse since then. I don't know what the loss of the child evoked, and since then, Dou has been in the Buddhist hall all year round and is reluctant to go out. And as Li Yuanji grew up, Dou's love for this youngest son became stronger and stronger.
This matter can be regarded as perfect here, after all, the child did not abandon and starve to death, and the fourth son of the Li Mansion returned to the arms of his father and mother, and it can be regarded as a human comedy only here. But what happened next made people a little sad and sad.
Li Yuanji learned of this when he became an adult, and in order to help his mother Dou cover up this disgraceful history, he ordered all the midwives and maids who knew the secret at that time to be strangled to death, including Chen Shanyi, who picked him up from the field and raised him.
It can be seen from this that throwing away one's own child is really not an uncommon thing in the Li family, and the Dou family, a person who has believed in Buddhism since the old nun entered the Li Mansion, has what kind of demon is in her heart, I am afraid that even she does not know. Even the Dharma did not take away her sins.
In August of the first year of Yining, that is, the first month after the reign of Yang Yu, the king of Taiyuan, sent people to send a military newspaper to the army in a thousand miles to stay in Qi, and in the middle of July, the first Khan Ashina Jishi did not know why, and suddenly led the wolf to ride 300,000 south, and he named the thief Liu Wuzhou as the little khan, and led the army of 100,000 as the vanguard, and approached Taiyuan.
Liu Wuzhou's army won consecutive battles, Qi Duke Li Yuanji was difficult to resist, lost seven counties in a row, now Liu Wuzhou's army has been less than 100 miles away from Taiyuan, Shibi Khan's 300,000 wolf horsemen have also entered the pass, I am afraid that it will not take long, 400,000 troops will besiege Taiyuan, Hedong, Hexi counties are in danger.
"Put ...... Submit the military report. ”
Yang Yu glanced at Li Yuan's face, and then said in a slightly trembling voice.
Immediately a eunuch went down to take Li Yuanji's military report from the messenger's hand, the eunuch walked back to the dragon chair quickly, Yang Yu stretched out his hand to receive the military newspaper but received it empty, the eunuch came to his side and suddenly turned around, bowed down and held the military newspaper with both hands, and humbly and respectfully handed it to Li Yuan, the king of Tang.
And Li Yuan, who was sitting on the chair next to the emperor, naturally stretched out his hand to take the general's report. His face was gloomy and he looked very bad.
In an instant, Yang Yu's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air so stiffly.
In an instant, the hall was silent!
