Chapter 474: Hongnong's Change
Li Mi died, and Wang Bodang died in an unknown mountain forest, a generation of heroes, the overlord of the Central Plains died here, and only a few months later did Li Xin order someone to announce Li Mi's death, of course, at that time, all the evidence pointed to Wang Shichong, and Li Xin ordered to ask Wang Shichong. Of course, no one knows now.
"Prime Minister." Above the Wuguan, Luo Shixin respectfully saluted Li Xin, with a smile on his face, and at this time, Luo Shixin returned to the appearance of following Zhang Xutuo back then.
"Call me brother." Li Xin nodded approvingly and said, "Killing Li Mi can be regarded as avenging General Zhang Xutuo, presumably General Zhang can also smile at Jiuquan." ”
"Yes, brother." A smile suddenly appeared on Luo Shixin's face.
"What we need now is to quickly enter Nanyang and catch the other party off guard." Li Xin pointed to Nanyang and said: "We are about to transport grain to Nanyang, just to capture Nanyang, Shixin, this task will be handed over to you." ”
"Yes." Luo Shixin said happily: "Brother, are you ready to do it, I have long been unhappy with Li Shimin's kid, this time he must be good-looking." ”
"It's probably hard to kill Li Shimin, but it's easy to defeat Li Shimin." Li Xin said indifferently: "Shixin, remember, everything on the battlefield is for political services, although we can win a military victory by defeating Li Shimin, but my purpose is to solve Li Shimin's internal conflicts above the Li Zhao court, Li Shimin is our great enemy, if he does not die." The time for us to achieve victory will be postponed, and this time we will severely pit Li Shimin once, and he will definitely lose military power when he returns. We will either capture the Central Plains, or we will run Jiangnan, and by the time Li Shimin goes out of the mountains again, the general trend cannot be reversed. ”
Luo Shixin didn't seem to understand, he only knew about the war, and he didn't know anything other than the war, but he knew that Li Xin knew more than himself. Since Li Xin said so, this is the truth.
Li Shimin, who was far away in Luoyang, didn't know where Li Xin was, and he was dazzled by the situation in front of him. Pei Renji had already begun to withdraw his troops at Hongnong, and in Hedong, the offensive had been intensified, and the number was increasing again. This made him hesitate a little. Even Li Yuanji sent people to ask if he should return to Hedong, but Li Shimin refused.
"Could it be that Li Xin wants to attack Hedong?" Li Shimin asked with some hesitation: "Could it be that Li Xin has this background to capture Hedong?" Luoyang, he really doesn't want it? ”
"King Qin, the emperor has issued three holy decrees to let King Qin return to Hedong." Fang Xuanling also rushed over, and asked a little nervously: "If Li Xin turns fiction into reality and forcibly attacks Hedong, we will fall into passivity, and the situation of His Highness in the court is probably not very good!" ”
"I think Li Xin's main direction of attack is still Hongnong. Don't look at Pei Renji's withdrawal of troops, but Tongguan is only a few ways away from Hongnong. He killed it, but it was still extremely easy and simple. Li Shimin shook his head and said: "What he is doing now is just to confuse us and let me divide my troops to Hedong, his troops are insufficient, and he can't eat us in one go, if I divide my troops, he will have a chance to attack us." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji and the others also nodded, in their opinion, the situation is now obvious, Li Xin just wants to continue the matter of Hedong and let Li Shimin divide his troops to Hedong, on the one hand, to attack Luoyang, and on the other hand, to solve the problem of insufficient troops.
"If we attack Luoyang here, Li Xin will attack Hongnong." Li Shimin nodded, but his eyes fell on Hongnong, his expression showed a hint of gloom, Hongnong was still very worried, if Li Daozong and Fang Xuanling were in Hongnong, he would not have this kind of worry.
"Hongnong still has to strengthen his defenses. Xuan Ling, if Yuan Ji has any abnormal behavior, you and Dao Sect will capture and imprison him. Li Shimin told again: "Hongnong is our rear, if Li Xin attacks from this aspect, everything we do now will be useless, and we can only retreat to Mengjin." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister knows what to do." Fang Xuanling nodded, but sighed in his heart, if the matter of Hongnong really broke out, it would not be a good thing for Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the contradiction between Li Shimin and Li Yuanji had become public, and even Li Xin knew this. The imperial court criticized Li Shimin because of the Hedong incident, and Li Xin's promoter was also in it.
"Pei Renji is always a scourge, I was thinking about how to solve this person, but I didn't expect this person to suddenly return to the army Hongnong, it's really not an ordinary person, look, this is Yuanji's report to me, obviously Pei Renji took the initiative to retreat, and when it came to his mouth, it was equivalent to defeating the other party, and beheading more than a thousand people." Li Shimin raised the military newspaper in his hand and said disdainfully: "As long as he still has a list to attack Pei Renji, this king can't give him ten dares." I don't know if I found a bandit's den and killed a thousand bandits. ”
Fang Xuanling's mouth opened, and when he finally thought of something, he was suddenly silent, but the eldest grandson Wuji on the side saw it clearly, looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Lord Fang, is there really something wrong with these more than 1,000 people?" Or is there something else going on here? ”
"What? Is it really hidden? Li Shimin's face was stunned, and he finally found that Fang Xuanling's face was wrong, and he couldn't help asking: "It won't be a good kill!" ”
"I don't know if it's a good killing, after all, there are a thousand young people, but the lower officials feel that the faces of the thousand young people are not necessarily bandits, and there is no such fierce aura on their faces." Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "And the lower officials don't know the news that there is a bandit den near Hongnong that has been exterminated. ”
"It's really a good thing." Li Shimin sat on the ground all of a sudden, his face was pale, his eyes were wide, and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Hongnong is in danger!" ”
Since they are not enemies or bandits, these more than 1,000 people can only be ordinary people. The people of Hongnong themselves were very dissatisfied with Li Yuanji, and this time they killed a thousand people, and once they were discovered by the Hongnong people, the Hongnong army would be scolded to death by the people of Hongnong. Without the support of Hongnong, Li Yuanji may not stay long in Hongnong.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, you must immediately transfer the King of Qi, otherwise, Hongnong will definitely not be protected." Fang Xuanling was also stunned by Li Yuanji's actions, Li Yuanji needed military merit, but he never thought that he would actually kill good and risky merit, and he killed Hongnongren, didn't this stupid guy know that doing so would anger Hongnongren?
"Hou Junji, immediately lead the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to follow Xuanling to Hongnong, and immediately capture Li Yuanji." Li Shimin was very emotional, if it weren't for consulting Fang Xuanling and letting Fang Xuanling return to Luoyang, Li Shimin really didn't know what happened to Hongnong.
It's a pity that Li Shimin was still a little late when he learned the news, Hongnong City was overcast, and the entire city was filled with a solemn atmosphere. In Hongnong, no matter how the times change, no matter which emperor is in power, the development of Hongnong is inseparable from two surnames, one is Yang's, Yang Su's Yang's, and the other is Tan's, the two are the actual masters of Hongnong, and later Yang Xuangan rebelled, and after the defeat, Yang Su's line was all killed, but Hongnong's Yang family is still Hongnong's county, and it is only weaker in strength. For example, Yang is a side line of Yang Su, although the Yang Su branch perished, the Yang family is still flourishing, this is where the power of the family lies.
"Please come, you must know some things, more than a dozen villages such as Hu Village and Yang Village ten miles outside the city, all the young and strong people have been killed, more than 1,000 people! What a deal! It was Tan Sichang, the head of the Tan family, who spoke, his white beard trembled, and his old eyes were full of anger.
"If you add the old and weak, it's more than that." Yang Wenjing snorted coldly and said, his face was old, his body was thin, as if a gust of wind could be blown down, Yang Su's death, Yang Xuangan rebelled, which had a great impact on the Yang family, Yang Wenjing is Yang Xuangan's uncle, and at this time he was in charge of the Hongnong Yang family and maintained the prestige of the Yang family. If Li Yuanji hadn't gone too far this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have appeared here.
"Let's talk about what to do!" Tan Sichang's voice was very flat, but it was as cold as a harsh winter, and there were children in Hu Village that was destroyed, and most of the land in Hu Village belonged to the Tan family, and the food and money in it fell into the hands of Li Yuanji, which made him very angry, so he responded to Yang Wenjing.
"What else can I do? He even dares to do it now, and it will be our family's turn tomorrow. A middle-aged man stood up and said loudly: "Hehe, if it's money today, tomorrow it may be the woman of our family, I heard that Li Yuanji is greedy and lustful, and now he is even more bold, everyone, if you don't resist at this time, our family will be removed from the list in the future." ”
Yang Wenjing looked at the middle-aged man coldly, and sneered in his heart, he recognized the other party, a small family surnamed Lu, which has developed rapidly in recent years, with the brocade salt from Guanzhong, he has a family fortune, others don't know, but Yang Wenjing knows that this character called Lu Xing is related to Guanzhong. However, he decided not to poke him, but to respond to him.
"Yes, everyone, if you don't resist now, even if you want to resist in the future, it will be impossible, the old man has decided to take refuge in the Tang King of Guanzhong, if you are against it, you can leave now." Yang Wenjing watched coldly, looked at everyone and said.
"This? Yang Lao, it's not that we don't want to take refuge in Guanzhong, it's just that Guanzhong wants our land and wants us to reduce rent and interest, this? Some of the heads of the family said with some hesitation.
"Then how did those families in Guanzhong live?" Yang Wenjing said disdainfully: "People can solve anything, if people are not there, even if they have tens of thousands of family assets?" Li Xinzhi is in the world, how can he take a fancy to our money, as long as he doesn't do too much, isn't the Guanzhong family our example? (To be continued......)
