Chapter 0324. Mess
In mid-May, the rebellion in Liaodong further eroded, and in addition to defending a large city, the Tang army was almost everywhere in the countryside with rebel activities, and the work of collecting grain and grass and calling for people was completely paralyzed, and the almost complete annihilation of the crusading army further fueled the arrogance of the rebellion. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]
Finally, Liaodong began to warm up, but Li Tai, the king of Liao, felt the cold to the bone, and was no longer in the mood to indulge in singing and dancing.
The amazing thing is that Rao is so Li Tai has not lost weight, it seems that people are fat, it is really a lifetime thing.
On the second ugly day of May, Li Tai's request for help to Li Shimin finally responded, but unfortunately, it was not the reinforcements that Li Tai was looking forward to, but the same chubby old man, or the palace of the King of Liao, Li Tai paced back and forth, complaining irritably: "What is Your Majesty thinking? The rear has become such a bad state, and it is still stuck on the Yalu River and refuses to retreat, what this king needs is reinforcements, reinforcements! ”
Li Tai has always paid attention to demeanor and appearance, and on the surface, he is also extremely respectful to Li Shimin, and he can make him shout angrily in this tone, which shows what he has become impatient, but the eldest grandson Wuji is even more angry than him.
"King Liao, first of all, you must be clear that you are the governor of Liaodong Metropolitan Mansion, and there is currently a rebellion in your jurisdiction!" His face was serious, his voice was also inferior to Li Tai, and the eldest grandson Wuji was also blowing his beard and glaring.
"Your Majesty sealed you here, on the one hand, it is grace, on the other hand, it is also to ensure the stability of the back road, for your throne, Your Majesty even risked the evaluation of high merit to squeeze out King Li Jie, the poor supply of military supplies has made Your Majesty very dissatisfied, if this rebellion can not be quelled as soon as possible, Your Majesty will consider replacing the governor of Liaodong."
"Either put down the rebellion within a month, or go back to Xunxiang County to be your King Pu!"
The eldest grandson Wuji's cold ultimatum made Li Taisheng shudder, no matter how remote Liaodong is, it is still equivalent to a semi-independent kingdom, and he has tasted the sweetness of power, and then let Li Tai go back to the poor countryside to be a powerless and powerless prince, it is better to let him die.
"But, but this rebellion came so suddenly, someone must have been behind it, otherwise how could it be so rapid? At the beginning of the month, my general was provoked to commit suicide in front of the house, and in the middle of the month, my concubine was framed and mistakenly beheaded in Anshi, and the lone crusading army was defeated in vain......"
"That's why it's a test of your ability to lead! If you can't bear this little wind and waves, how can you rest assured that Your Majesty will keep you here? ”
Seeing Li Tai unwillingly lowered his fat head, the eldest grandson Wuji finally let out a long sigh: "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty's army has reached the point of being stretched thin by the Yalu River, and most of the ministers have advocated retreating, all relying on Your Majesty's will, but this time is also running out, if you don't straighten out the entire Liaodong Governor's Mansion before Your Majesty retreats, either the army will fight for a year and a half, and all the results of the battle of more than 30,000 people will be discarded, and the Tang Dynasty will retreat to Yingzhou, or Li Jie, the king of Fujian, will be reactivated to replace you, there is already this voice in the court." ”
"If you can't show your own talent during this time, no matter which one you have, you will be the idle prince of Hunan Xunxiang, think for yourself!"
After saying this, the eldest grandson Wuji took care of himself and walked out of the Liao Wang Palace, watching his fat figure out of the palace gate, panting and gritting his teeth for a long time, with red eyes, Li Tai finally roared arrogantly: "Lonely will never let Li Jie's cheap breed squeeze Lone down, come to the people, pass on the long Shi Yanliang, the pawn army Li Zang, come to the Pingyuan Palace to discuss matters!" ”
At the end of May, the Liaodong Governor's Mansion like a dead pig finally made a big move, lowered his arrogant head, and the Liao King Li Tai formally formed an alliance with Yeluguang, the great chief of the Khitan Department, in the north, marrying his little daughter, and at the same time greatly reducing the taxes of the Governor's Mansion, forming an alliance with the Goguryeo nobles in the territory, and finally pacifying the rebellion of the Governor's Mansion while stabilizing the interior.
At the beginning of June, Li Tai mobilized more than 60,000 troops from the north and south, with 5,000 Khitan troops who had always been oppressed by the Goguryeo people as the vanguard, and the Goguryeo rebels fought again to win the mountain.
In the evening, after all, the rebels in southern Liaoning, who were uneven, could not support it, and took the lead in collapsing, and the Khitan cavalry chased and killed dozens of miles, killing corpses all over the field and bleeding into rivers, so far, the mighty Liaodong rebellion was basically empty, and the only thing left was the repeated encirclement and suppression battles between the official army and the rebels in the deep mountains and valleys.
Jinzhou, sailing ships come and go unconsciously, batch after batch of Wuyuan Army, now changed to Fujian **** soldiers were transported on the ship, rushed to Dengzhou, many Khitan who have never seen the sea, the Yan Yan, Xi sergeant is amazed at the huge sea boat, every time there is a large number of bowing on the ground God-like worship, the old way of the red gourd team hurried to spread the faith, bluffing this group of just civilized poor people stunned.
Jinzhou Port, or the small bamboo tavern, a stack of steamed fish, a stack of spiced dried beans, two glasses of light and tasteless sake, Li Jie drank deliciously, but the guests opposite were not in a good mood at all, knocking on the table and roaring: "King Min, now you have taken revenge, the Sun family has been destroyed, the crossbow lost Binuda has also died, and the King of Liao has paid enough price, and now doing this, King Min, don't you think it's too much?" "
"Excessive? Flashing the spittle that Yan Liang sprayed, Li Jie shook his head and said: "There is no lone soldier among the rebels, Yan Changshi is a bit bloody, right?" "
"What about the grain? Yan Liang didn't eat his set, he still roared aggressively in front of the spout of the watering can: "Qingliang Village, the grain of Black Bear Mountain, don't tell the envoy King Min that he doesn't know what's going on?" "
"That's a merchant under the Cotton Textile Guild, this king really can't control it, besides, sell grain to you Liaodong, save these hungry and crazy Goguryeo people from rebelling against Yan Changshi and don't want to, then good, the grain agreed by the king will not be sold, and people will be complained. "
Quite a little childish snort, Li Jie turned around and really wanted to leave, forcing Yan Liang to immediately soften hard, and sadly pulled Li Jie's sleeve and shouted: "King Min, why are you willing not to sell food to that gang of thieves?" ”
"Merchant, of course who is bidding high and selling to whom."
"Isn't the bid of our Liaodong Governor's Mansion high enough?" Yan Liang shouted sadly, not wanting Li Jie to roll his eyes again, and snorted disdainfully: "Who made your Liaodong Governor's Mansion have a low credit, in the merchants, your credit is not as good as that of the traitors, this king doesn't believe you, there is not enough profit worth risking, who wants to come?" ”
Yan Liang was dumbfounded when he said this, Li Tai had made it difficult for a few businessmen before, and he didn't care, businessmen, untouchables, it didn't hurt to rob them, who knew that this no businessman would make Liaodong embarrassed to such an extent.
After some bargaining, Yan Liang had to buy the grain that was originally supplied to the rebel nobles at a price five or six times higher, and the materials used in the transaction had to be personally delivered to the port of Jinzhou, and the results were not produced until noon.
Depressed, he just walked down the second floor of the bamboo building, but Yan Liang suddenly stopped and leaned on the windowsill to watch twice, and quickly hid aside, and after a while, a fat man dressed in disguise walked up the bamboo building quickly.
The eldest grandson is Mowgli!
With a plan, Yan Liang followed the eldest grandson Wuji back to the third floor, deliberately swaying at the door with a righteous indignation and wanting to sue.
The empty spiced dried bean curd and steamed fish on the table were replaced with two identical plates, and the eldest grandson Wuji was so polite that he sat down and directly fished out a large piece of fish meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. Without raising his eyelids, he glanced at the threatening old young man Yan Liang, while Li Jie hummed and leaned back in the chair.
"My father-in-law is here to ask about the crime, indeed, I have provided food behind the Liaodong rebellion, I killed Sun Fayin, and my father killed the girl Qin who was killed by me, and I put it down, whether I want to cut the feudal city or cut the official position, my father-in-law looks at it, and the king has no opinion!"
"You sincerely don't want the old man to eat better!" Spit out the fish bone, Eldest Sun Wuji rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly: "This time, Your Majesty and several generals want you to go back." ”
At the door, Yan Liang turned around and left, without stopping for a moment.
The eldest Sun Wuji in the house ate steamed fish leisurely again, this thing looks inconspicuous, but it tastes different, but this time it was Li Jie's turn to be silent.
"Give me a reason to keep fighting." After a while, Li Jiecai muttered and asked, wiped his mouth, and the eldest grandson Wuji sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty promises that if you break through Pyongyang and re-crown you as the king of Qin, you will still be the governor of the Turkic Dao Protectorate, and you will be the governor of the Turkic Dao Protectorate, and you will be fiefdomed with 5,000 households." ”
"Well, this king has no cotton textile guild, and His Majesty is finally relieved." Li Jie turned his head disdainfully, and couldn't help but make the eldest grandson Wuji even more distressed, now that he is in front of his son-in-law, he is becoming less and less dignified, there is no way, who let them do what they do.
"Don't do that?" Reluctantly put down the chopsticks, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and continued to persuade: "The old man also knows that these can't impress you, so the old man also prepared some things for you." ”
"Oh? What the? ”
"Zuotun Guard!"
The eldest grandson Wuji said quite confidently, but one sentence couldn't help but make Li Jie jump: "Is this true? ”
"Yes!" The fat head took the lead again and again, and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Jie with a confident smile, and Li Jie couldn't help but go around the table in a circle thinking about the stakes.
The Zuotun Guard Army is not an ordinary army, the meritorious army of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, although the prince is degraded in the history books, but he can sit firmly on the prince for so many years, and finally forced his father to win a victory through mutiny, Li Jiancheng's means can be imagined.
Such a highly suspicious army, after experiencing the Turkic attack, Zhenguan has not been disbanded for so long for nineteen years, and the forces behind the Zuotun Guard Army are indeed coveted, almost a microcosm of the military aristocracy of Guanlong. In Dingzhou, Li Jie only infiltrated a small part through Li Xilie, and he knew that he couldn't take it down.
"The sergeants I recruited from the family of the Zuotun Guards must not be stopped by the state capitals." After a while, Li Jiecai said with a serious expression, and the eldest grandson Wuji immediately smiled and nodded: "Of course." ”
"Also, I joined the war again because I still owe someone a promise, this king promised to destroy Goguryeo, but my army will not return to the front line of the Yalu River, and this king will attack from the sea alone!"
"It's ......".
