Chapter 206 [Resistance]
These veterans and weak soldiers really don't resist fighting, and they will be solved by Lishanfei after dividing five by two. The fact that Lord Wang Wei is not good at war does not mean that one of the instincts of human beings -- to save his life -- is not good. At that time, the best way to save his life was to escape, and Lord Wang Wei didn't say a word, turned the horse's head, and slipped away.
Although the soldiers are old and weak, they are not fools, and when they see that Lord Wang Wei has run away, there is no need for them to take their lives, except for a few slow runners, whoever can run, Saya will run. Lishanfei's troops are worthy of being unorganized and undisciplined hooligan troops, seeing that the ground is full of good things, and there is no master, how can there be any reason not to rob, and the formation will be chaotic as soon as they grab it.
This is exactly the result Li Yuan wants. Li Yuan, who was coldly annotating this qiē not far away, ordered a small formation to attack, and Li Shanfei was rushing to the head of Xing, and was caught off guard by Li Yuan, although Li Shanfei's troops were many, but it was useless. Because the soldiers are fine, not many.
As Li Yuan expected, Lishanfei was defeated. Li Yuan took the opportunity to collect many defeated soldiers and strengthen his strength. Li Shanfei, who was scared by Li Yuan, took the remnants of the soldiers to other places to beg for a living, and left this place where he had struggled for many years. Li Yuan won the victory class.
When he returned to Taiyuan, Wang Wei finally figured out that he was the bait for fishing. Who is the fish Li Yuan or Li Shanfei? This is a very nerve-wracking question, Wang Wei decided to ask Gao Junya. Gao Junya thought for three days and told him mysteriously, "If my analysis is correct, Li Yuan is the fish." Wang Wei suddenly realized, "Oh, it makes sense. ”
When Li Yuan, Wang Wei and Li Shanfei were desperate, Gao Junya was not idle. He was fighting with Ma Yi Taishou Liu Rengong and the Turks. Gao Junya doesn't seem to have Wang Wei's luck. Although Wang Wei could not fight, he still came back victoriously. Because he followed the right person - Li Yuan. Gao Junya can't fight, and Liu Rengong is not in very good shape.
You must know that even when Liu Rengong is in a good state, he still often loses battles, let alone in a bad state? As a result, Gao Junya and Liu Rengong were very sad, and they were defeated. From this point of view. It is also very important to make a revolution and to be a good person. Defeat is defeat, who hasn't had a time when a horse stumbled.
If you lose today, come back tomorrow, and keep fighting the Turks as long as you don't die. Gao Junya only thought so at that time, and Wang Rengong thought so too. But Yang Guang doesn't think so, it is estimated that this guy has been very stimulated recently. I can't find a punching bag. Ordered the arrest of Gao Junya and Liu Rengong. By the way, there is one less person, and Li Yuan. What does Gao Junya's defeat have to do with Li Yuan?
Because Li Yuan is the leader of Gao Junya, Yang Guang said so. In fact, who doesn't understand, Gao Junya is your Yang Guang's person. Now that he has committed a crime and caused me Li Yuan, don't you understand that he wants to clean me up?
The dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, let alone Li Yuan? In this case, it would be the other way around, not to mention that Li Yuan had been preparing for so long.
Surprisingly, Li Yuan didn't jump off the wall, don't think too much, it's not to scold him, it's to say that he didn't rebel. And he was ready to be captured by Yang Guang. Because Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are not in Taiyuan, if they want to rebel now, it will affect his sons who are still at home, and it seems that Li Yuan is indeed a qualified father. One of the reasons for the Xuanwumen Incident that broke out later was that Li Yuan was too merciful as a father. couldn't bear to attack his son, and kept dragging it back, until the end, his son attacked him.
Just when Li Yuan was getting ready, Yang Guang's holy decree knocked Li Yuan's thinking extremely chaotic. The gist of Yang Guang's holy decree was: Don't arrest Li Yuan, pardon Liu Rengong. Look at this devastated country. Yang Guang entered deep thinking, who can save the defeat? The answer is nobody. The only thing that can be done is to work hard so that the country can perish later. So who can save the edifice from collapse? …
The answer is not many people. Li Yuan should be counted as one. (At least that's what Yang Guang thought) What can I get by killing Li Yuan? The answer is that I will not get anything, and it is an act of self-destruction of the Great Wall. The three questions that he asked and answered made Yang Guang more aware of his situation. We have reason to believe. Not killing Li Yuan is a conclusion that Yang Guang came to after a very deep thought.
Even if he knew that Li Yuan would rebel, he couldn't kill him, because Li Yuan was still useful. With Li Yuan here, the Turks did not dare to go south to herd horses; With Li Yuan here, the underworld in Hebei did not dare to act rashly; With Li Yuan here, the large area of rivers and mountains in the north is still used by me (at least nominally).
killed Li Yuan, and the Turks had no one to defend; Kill Li Yuan, no one has a strong deterrent to the underworld to replace Li Yuan; Killing Li Yuan may have forced Li Yuan onto the road of rebellion earlier.
At this time, Yang Guangcai was the most melancholy person at that time, knowing that Li Yuan would rebel, but he couldn't kill Li Yuan, as the emperor of a big country, how helpless and confused. We have even more reason to believe that if Yang Guang ordered someone to arrest Li Yuan, Li Yuan, who was in Taiyuan, would have a very high probability of joining the ranks of the rebellion in advance.
This news is good news for Li Yuan, but for Wang Wei and Gao Junya, it is not necessarily a happy thing, because in the near future, their heads will fall to the ground, and it is Li Yuan who kills them.
Because of Yang Guang's holy decree, Li Yuan's mood is very comfortable, what is the comfortable expression? Drinking, just when he was drunk and fooling Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing, and Li Shimin, a piece of news affected Li Yuan's mood. Wang Rengong died, was killed, to be precise, by Liu Wuzhou.
Liu Wuzhou's purpose was not to kill Liu Rengong, but to rebel and occupy Fenyang Palace as emperor himself. He felt that his strength alone was limited, so he did not even hesitate, and turned to the Turks.
This is nothing from a certain Cheng dù, after all, there is no direct relationship with Li Yuan, although he was a comrade-in-arms with Liu Rengong, that was also a matter of the past. What's worse is that Liu Wuzhou is going to come to fight Taiyuan, which can't help but have a relationship with Li Yuan, because the place where Li Yuan drinks is Taiyuan, in other words, Liu Wuzhou is going to come to Li Yuan's house to rob.
At that time, Li Yuan's wine woke up and ordered his subordinates to hold a meeting. Bullying me has come to my head, am I Li Yuan so easy to bully? I don't look at what I look like, and I dare to come to my house to rob it. At the meeting, Li Yuan first asked: "Liu Wuzhou is coming to rob." What are we going to do? What do you guys have to say? ”
No one spoke for a while, lifeless, Li Yuan said again: "Liu Wuzhou occupies Fenyang Palace, the emperor will blame, only we are the closest to Fenyang Palace." If we don't act, those of us who are courtiers will be punished. Before the others could speak, Wang Wei said to Li Yuan: "My lord, you are the emperor's cousin and a relative of the emperor, and you should share your worries for the emperor at this time." The implication. You are always the head, the emperor blames you, and it has nothing to do with us. Li Yuan said: "I think so too, it's just that it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." I can't help it? "The implication is that there are no soldiers or generals in the room, so why are you going to fight Liu Wuzhou?
"There's no rice to buy." "What do you mean?" "Conscription." Li Yuan was waiting for this sentence, and asked Gao Junya hypocritically: "I don't know if Master Gao has any opinions?" Gao Junya felt that something was wrong, and thought that Li Yuan wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen his strength.
But in this case, you can't say you don't agree, right? After all, Master Li has a good reason. Fighting Liu Wuzhou is for the emperor, recapturing Fenyang Palace is also for the emperor, and conscription is even more for the emperor. …
If you don't agree. Isn't there a suspicion of disloyalty to the emperor? Master Gao said lightly a very wrong word: "Tang Gong will look at it." He only hopes that what Li Yuan said can be done, but sadly, he doesn't know that the words of the political family cannot be believed casually, especially a top political family like Li Yuan.
Li Yuan successfully fooled the two deputy left-behind adults. Began a blatant and public conscription. It's been a long time. The two of them looked back and felt that something was wrong. After a long meeting between the two, the two came to a conclusion that Li Yuan was going to rebel. The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers. Although the political sense of smell of the two is not the same level as Li Yuan, they still understand this truth. "Li Yuan, don't blame us, you brought it on yourself."
On a dark and windy night, Gao Junya and Wang Wei said such a sentence to the stars. Soon they devised a plan to get rid of Li Yuan. They think the plan is foolproof.
As it turned out, their belief was very reasonable, and if only the two of them knew about the plan, there was a good chance that it would be carried out successfully. But a third person knew about the plan. This person's name is Liu Shilong, who was the head of Jinyang Township at the time, and he was a small official. Although the official is not big, he is very energetic, and he is friends with Wang Wei and Gao Junya, and he is also a friend of Li Yuan.
He knew this plan and could make two choices, first, to help Wang Wei and Gao Junya rectify Li Yuan; Second, tell Li Yuan about Wang Wei and Gao Junya's plan. He did not hesitate to choose the second plan, because Li Yuan is not stingy, very generous, and usually gives Liu Shilong pocket money, and the impression in Liu Shilong's heart is not known how many times better than Wang Wei and Gao Junya. The plan of Gao Junya and the others was very simple, that is, to kill Li Yuan when they went to the Jin Temple to ask for rain.
There are many such plans in history, and there are too many to count how many times this is the first time this has been repeated, although the IQ of Gao Junya and the others is not high, but this plan is quite effective, as long as they follow their ideas, Li Yuan does not know about this matter, they can succeed. However, now Li Yuan knows.
Sitting and waiting for death has never been Li Yuan's style, he already knew that Gao Junya and Wang Wei were stumbling blocks on his way forward, and if he wanted to move forward, he had to get rid of the two, now was an opportunity, Li Yuan said in his heart, "If I don't kill you, I will have your surname." "The next step is to get started. Before starting to do it, I didn't forget to praise Liu Shilong, "Good job, continue to work hard." "Get him some extra pocket money.
There are at least three benefits to doing this, first, Liu Shilong has got the benefits, and he feels that Li Yuan is really righteous, and he has chosen this matter very rightly, and he will follow Tang Gong in the future, which is called increasing the trust of his followers.
Second, when others saw that Tang Gong would not treat the informant badly, they all told him one after another to ensure his personal safety. Third, it is to give everyone a feeling that Tang Gong will not treat anyone who has helped him, so that everyone is willing to work hard and increase the loyalty of his subordinates.
Unlike Wang Wei and the others, Li Yuan didn't take so long, the moment he received Liu Shilong's news, he had a prototype in his mind to clean up Wang Wei and Gao Junya's action. He believes that there will be a good show the next day, and he will play a white-faced role.
May 15th. Although Wang Wei and Gao Junya had discussed a plan to get rid of Li Yuan, the two of them did not have any ideological burden, and came to work as usual the next day. and joked with Li Yuan heartlessly. Wang Wei was telling Li Yuan a yellow joke. Li Yuan was very interested and laughed, and suddenly Liu Wenjing hurriedly walked in with Sima Liu Zhenghui of Kaiyang Mansion. Claiming to have something secret to report to Li Yuan.
Liu Wenjing glanced at Wang Wei very contemptuously, and Liu Zhenghui also glanced at Gao Junya with contempt, and the posture seemed to say, "Sample." It's not far from death. Li Yuan smiled and said, "Give the deputy to stay behind and take a look first." Liu Zhenghui: "No, what I sued is the deputy left-behind." Li Yuan frowned: "If there is such a thing, bring it to me to see." Li Yuan saw the situation and said loudly: "Wang Wei and Gao Junya secretly seduced the Turks and invaded Taiyuan. In this case, even a fool understands what is going on. Gao Junya rolled up her sleeves, waved her arms and said the same words as Yue Fei, "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." Liu Wenjing, Liu Hongji, Changsun Shunde and others led the soldiers to take Wang Wei and Gao Junya and send them to prison. If they are slow, Gao Junya's temper will come up. Li Yuan suffered.
Either it's death, I'll cut you first. On the 17th, as if had been rehearsed in advance, the Turks invaded Taiyuan. Because Li Yuan's propaganda work was done very well, this time not only Li Yuan said that Wang Wei and Gao Junya were traitors, but even the common people knew Wang Wei. Gao Junya is a traitor. If they are not killed, they will not be able to dispel the anger of the people. It was also on this day that Li Yuan killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya to show the public.
These two high-ranking spies (Yang Guang's subordinates) ended their not very wonderful lives. Maybe they will regret it before they die, "We should have done it sooner." "I dare to guarantee that Wang Wei and Gao Junya were wronged. To say that they colluded with the Turks is purely framed by Li Yuan. As for why the Turks came so quickly, I can only say that it came early, not as good as a coincidence.
Wang Wei died, Gao Junya died, and Liu Wenjing, Pei Lian, Liu Hongji and others became Li Yuan's irons. His sons Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and son-in-law Chai Shao all went to Taiyuan to meet Li Yuan.
The current Taiyuan is all Li Yuan's people. Under the banner of conquest of Liu Wuzhou, they fought for the army. Grain was hoarded and weapons were forged. Now everything is sufficient, and the shape is very good. According to common sense, now is the time to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to raise troops. However, Li Yuan did not do this, because although the internal enemy was solved, there were still external enemies that were not solved. The Turks were outside the city, and had not yet left, and on the 17th their cavalry entered briskly through the north gate of the outer city, and went out through the east gate.
Then Li Yuan's general Wang Kangda led more than 1,000 people out of the city to fight, and all of them were killed. The Turks are a northern people, who grew up on horseback from an early age and began to receive combat training in cavalry from a very young age. So every Turk was born destined to be an excellent cavalry warrior.
No matter how good the Turkic cavalry was, it was useless, because their opponent was Li Yuan, who was not only the Tang Duke of the Sui Dynasty and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also a wise man, a military commander full of commanding arts. At that time, Li Yuan's troops in Taiyuan City were not many, but Li Yuan couldn't use these soldiers to fight with the Turks, because Li Yuan wanted to preserve his vital strength to do an earth-shattering event, and it didn't matter if he gave up anything, as long as he maintained his vital strength, he could come back more. * One of the purposes of military techniques in guerrilla warfare is to preserve living forces.
Winning a battle in the military field is not always the royal way, only the army that does not stand up and surrender is the royal way. Li Yuan wanted to surrender the army without a fight, but the Turks did not cooperate, the reason is very simple, we came to rob, and we didn't grab anything, so let us go back, you are dreaming.
This is a seemingly tricky problem, and Li Yuan solved it with only a small trick. The method was not profound, Li Yuan quietly let the troops out of the city at night, and let the troops into the city in the morning. Some people may say, isn't this just playing with yourself, how to play with the troops or those, no less, no more. Interesting? Yes.
If you think so, the Turks don't think so, because they didn't see Li Yuan's troops leaving the city, they only saw the troops entering the city. They thought it was Li Yuan's rescuers coming. It's nothing for a day or two, and it's enough to do something with so many people. But after a long time, it will not work, and the Turks do not think of deception here, but think that a large number of reinforcements have been gathered in Taiyuan City.
If it were just Li Yuan's army, it would be easy to deal with, and with such reinforcements, it wouldn't be fun. You must know that the Turks are only willing to take advantage of the Lord who is not willing to suffer, and seeing so many people, they will suffer a loss, so why don't they leave? This time, Li Yuan saved the day, and next time he won't be so lucky.
The Turks rode horses, moved fast, and had no fixed place to stay, and lived wherever they went. When there is nothing to do, it is normal to come to Taiyuan to rob guns when there is a lack of food and clothing. It's like a hooligan who has nothing to eat and blocks the door of the restaurant every day, everyone can guess what he wants to do, and he will rob you if he has nothing to do. In a way, the Turks were much more difficult to deal with than the hooligans, after all, the hooligans were still managed by the police department, and the Turks did not even have a person to take care of them, and there were no international police at that time.
Even if an international police officer were to deal with such a large transnational criminal gang (which was basically the whole country), it would be very difficult to deal with it. What is even more unbearable is that the Turkic people come and go whenever they want, never greet each other, and do not speak of civility and politeness at all. (To be continued)
