Two years is not short for Li Tang's nascent empire, and it is not long to say that it is not long.

Li Tang first ushered in the challenge of Xue Ju in Longxi and Li Liang in Hexi. Guanzhong is located in the west of the Central Plains, Longxi is in the west of Guanzhong, Hexi is located in the west of Longxi, relative to the Central Plains, Hexi Longxi is the rear of Guanzhong.

Li Yuan first leveled Xue Ju in Longxi, and then united with Tugu to destroy Li Rail in Hexi and pacify the two places of Longhe. Subsequently, Li Yuan sent his old friend, Yang Gongren, a former famous minister of the dynasty, as the pacification ambassador of Hexi Province and the governor of Liangzhou to pacify Hexi.

Yang Gongren was worthy of being a cadre, and after pacifying Li Liang, the border people of Rong and Han in the northwest had their own place, and all the countries in the Western Regions from the east of the Green Mountains paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and even the Western Turkic Yehu Khan also sent envoys to Tang Dynasty for peace.

In Hedong, when Li Tang was weak at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also withstood the attack of the 960,000 elite soldiers of Li Chong, the assassin of Youzhou at that time. The Tang army was unfavorable in the initial battle, and then Li Shimin sent troops to counterattack Hedong, stopping Li Tang's defeat, the only deficiency was the loss of Taiyuan, the land of Li Tang's Longxing.

In the south, Li Yuan worshiped Li Xiaogong as a general, went south to take Sichuan and Shu, and Li Xiaogong received more than 20 states in Sichuan and Shu.

The governor of Liangzhou, the general Pang Yu of Zuo Wuhou broke the fang in Jizhou, and then the Tang army attacked the Sichuan Shu barbarian chief Ran Zhaoze, the two armies fought in Xinzhou, Li Xiaogong's main force was defeated first, fortunately, the general Li Jingqi attacked Ran Zhaoze, and the defeat turned into victory. So far, Sichuan and Shu have been decided. Li Yuan took Li Shimin as the secretary of Yizhou Daoxingtai, and governed the six prefectures under his jurisdiction and oversaw the military affairs of Yizhou.

Harvest Hexi, Longxi. After Sichuan and Shu and other places, Li Tang's national strength increased greatly. Li Yuan immediately ordered the Twelfth Army to be placed, and the Inner Dao and each Zhichong Prefecture were subordinate to the Twelfth Army.

Wannian Road is the flag army, Chang'an Road is the drum flag army, and Fuping Road is the Xuange army. Liquan Road is the Jingyue Army, Tongzhou Road is the Yulin Army, Huazhou Road is the Cavalry Army, Ningzhou Road is the Zhiwei Army, Qizhou Road is the Pingdao Army, and Fengzhou Road is the Zhaoyao Army. Xilin Road is the Yuan You Army, Jingzhou Road is the Tianji Army, and Yizhou Road is the Tianjie Army. He commanded the 12th Army with a chariot and cavalry.

Each army has a general and a deputy general, and the person who is known as a prestige fills the position, and the 12 sergeants are accustomed to ploughing and fighting on weekdays, and when the battle is fought, the army is organized to fight. The soldiers of the Tang Army inherited the elite of the old Sui, so they were very brave and good at fighting.

In August of the second year of Wude, Li Tang was in charge of Duan Decao, who was the son of Duan Xiaoxian, the three generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Liang division was defeated, and even the Eastern Turks were shocked.

Li Tang's momentum has been shocked by the princes. Li Yuan supplemented by war and mainly Fu, sent Xiahou Duan, and Li Mi went to Shandong to recruit old generals. In September of the second year of Wude, Du Fuwei, the last of the three anti-Sui rebel armies, surrendered to Tang in Huainan.

Li Tang worshiped Du Fuwei as the ambassador of Huainan pacification, the assassin of Yangzhou, and the Shangshu order of the southeast province, and was named the king of Chu. Du Fuwei held the festival, in charge of the military affairs south of the Jiang and Huai, and his neck was also awarded the left servant of the line, and he was named the Duke of Shu.

It's just that Li Mi went to Henan Road. Hearing that Li Yuan issued an edict and refused, the result was an ambush by Sheng Yanshi, a general under Li Yuan. Li Mi was killed, and Wang Bodang died together.

At the beginning, he took the lead in opposing the three righteous army leaders of the Sui Dynasty, Dou Jiande was already a prisoner, and Li Mi died. Du Fuwei descended to Tang. At present, it is replaced by Li Yuan, who has been surrendered by Du Fuwei, Li Chongjiu, who imprisoned Dou Jiande, and Wang Shichong, who broke Li Mi, and stood on three legs in the Central Plains.

In October of the third year of Wude, the trend of the Tang Dynasty in the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China has been in full swing, and the internal worries have been settled.

In the deep palace of Chang'an, under the glazed tile house, the rain rolls down like a curtain, the Jin Ge soldiers stand solemnly on the Wuji Palace, and the thunder continues to sound in the sky above the main hall, and the rumbling sound is like the war drums that sounded before the battle, shocking people's lungs.

In the Wuji Palace, Li Yuan summoned all the sons, clansmen, and generals to discuss Zheng's affairs. Li Yuan, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the map with his sword, and asked his ministers: "I have made a decision to go east out of Tongguan and enter the Central Plains. ”

Although Li Yuan's voice was not high, he was accompanied by thunder word by word, which made everyone's ears buzz. Everyone bowed their heads together, showing humility.

"Now in the world, there is Wang Shichong in Henan, Li Chongjiu in Hebei, and Xiao Milling in the south, these three princes are not weak."

Li Yuanji stepped forward and said: "Father, but our Li Tang is stronger." ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanji, smiled and asked, "Then Shiro, who should we fight first?" ”

"Of course, it's Wang Shichong. First Zheng and then Zhao, first Henan and then Hebei. ”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I want to go together, Pei Qing, how is Wang Shichong's old friend doing?" ”

"No."

Shangshu's left servant shot Pei Lin from the throne and analyzed the situation of Wang Shichong deposing the emperor and establishing himself as the emperor.

Since Liu Wenjing was involved in Li's conspiracy against him, Liu Wenjing, who was a hero of the Taiyuan army, was forgiven for the second death, and was directly ordered to be executed by Li Yuan. After the death of the old enemy, Pei Lin was very proud in his heart, and the ministers in the palace except for Li Yuan's third son regarded him as the most respectful.

Pei Lin said in the palace: "Since Wang Shichong abolished the emperor and the lord, there have been many rebellions among the ministers of the previous dynasty, such as Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, Shangshu Zuo Chengyu Wen Rutong, etc., who discussed killing Wang Shichong and reinstating the emperor and the emperor, all of which were killed by Wang Shichong. Afterwards, in order to avoid future troubles, Wang Shichong hanged the emperor and killed the emperor, and was nicknamed Emperor Gong. ”

Speaking of which, there are more than a dozen former ministers in the palace, all of whom are sentimental, after the emperor was killed, the emperor of the previous dynasty left the real clan, and only in the line of Yang Hui, the king of Qi in Youjing, and the princess of Changle.

Pei Lin didn't show any sadness, but said with a look of please: "Wang Shichong killed the emperor and acted perversely in the Eastern Capital, which has already caused everyone to rebel and leave. The palace supervisor Dou Luda, its generals Cheng Biting Jin, Li Junxian, Tian Liuan, Niu Jinda, and Wu Heimin all descended to my Tang Dynasty. Not only the generals under Wang Shichong, but even the people of various counties have fled to our Tang Dynasty. ”

After Wang Shichong heard this, he was furious, and decided to take the law of connecting seats, and one person fled, and the whole clan was connected. and circle the people, with five households as a guarantee, if one family flees, all should be punished. But Wang Shichong was mad, and the more people he killed, the more people fled, and finally even the number of people who collected firewood was limited. Even when a large army goes out to fight, it is necessary to take the families of the soldiers as hostages. ”

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, Wang Shichong was really devastated.

The crown prince Li Shimin said: "When Wang Shichong did not kill the emperor and the lord, he recruited the princes of the world in the name of the old Sui, but there is still a bit of weather, and now he kills the emperor and the lord of the emperor, and the big thing is gone." ”

The internal history made Xiao Yu say disdainfully: "Those who have achieved great things should be haste and be patient, Wang Shichong does not know how to be patient, and he wants to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which is not the case, Cao Mengde is also something that everyone can learn?" ”

On the side, Chen Shuda said: "However, I heard that last year, Luo Khan of the Eastern Turkic Department sent an envoy Ashina Jieduo to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to offer 1,000 good horses and ask Wang Shichong for intermarriage. Wang Shichong agreed to the Turks' requests, married the daughter of the sect to the Turks, and also agreed with the Turks to trade and conduct mutual markets. I think that if there are Turks who support Wang Shichong, if they want to use troops, do they ask the meaning of Luo Khan. ”

Li Tang once attacked Li Rail, but the Turks refused, and finally ceded the land of the two counties and gave countless gold and silver to Chuluo. After feeding the Turks, Li Tang broke the Li rails.

"Chu Luo is a person outside the fan, how can he manage the affairs of the Central Plains." A resounding voice sounded in the main hall, and everyone saw that it was Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Chen Shuda said: "King Qin, the major affairs of the country are only dedicated to Rong, and thousands of troops and horses cannot be taken lightly, not to mention that with the reserves of my Tang Dynasty, the time has not yet come." ”

Li Shimin said: "Your Majesty, Li Chongjiu has broken through the six counties of Hebei in a row, and now more than 100,000 people and horses will surround Liu Heimin as a state, and the water will not be able to pass, once Li Chongjiu defeats Liu Heimin, he will definitely fight with me Li Tang for the world." Although the current trend is favorable to my Datang, but the opportunity is fleeting, if we can't break Wang Shichong first, then who belongs to the deer is still unknown. ”

Li Yuan twisted his beard and groaned, and Chen Shuda was already silently retreating to the side.

Seeing that Li Yuan was silent, Li Shimin knew that he was suspicious of the Turks, so he stepped forward and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, at present, people from all over the world accept my Tang Dynasty as Zhengshuo, and the only king Shichong is obsessed and does not understand. The people of the eastern capital fled to Chang'an, and asked the division to go eastward, which was an opportunity from heaven, and the sons of the ministers asked to lead the army to capture Luoyang, and capture Wang Shichong to dedicate to His Majesty. ”

Li Shimin said that Li Jiancheng did not oppose it in court, and things have been very smooth recently, Li Shimin's right-hand man Liu Wenjing was killed, and he lost a strong reinforcement in the imperial court. The general Duan Decao recommended by Li Jiancheng broke the Liang division again, which made Li Yuanlong's face happy.

As for Li Shimin's eagerness to send troops to Wang Shichong now, it is obvious that he wants to save his current unfavorable situation by destroying Wang Shichong.

Among the sons of the Li family, Li Shimin is the most talented, and Li Jiancheng also knows it from the bottom of his heart, so he is not on good terms with Li Shimin, but he also knows that Li Tang and Wang Shichong, in this decisive battle that determines the ownership of the world, if Li Shimin is removed as the commander because of his own selfishness, it is obviously not beneficial to the country.

However, Li Jiancheng can't make Li Shimin too proud.

At that moment, Li Jiancheng stepped forward and said: "Weichen also seconded the proposal, Weichen heard that he was fighting his own brothers, and he went into battle with father and son, and the four of our Li family's father and son were of one mind, so they wanted to go into battle with King Qin and kill the enemy side by side." ”

Li Yuan said: "Eh, you are the prince, how can you leave Chang'an lightly, no, no." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "Father, since this is the case, then let the King of Qi and the King of Qin go together." ”

Li Yuan stood in front of the map with his sword in both hands, and asked Li Yuanji: "Shilang, after the Battle of Taiyuan, I have been keeping you in Chang'an, even if I refuse to let you go to Rongji again, now that the eldest brother is sitting in Chang'an and can't go, are you willing to work with Erlang to carry this burden for me Li Tang." ”

Li Yuanji was overjoyed in his heart, and said loudly: "The horse leather shroud is the true character of a man, and the son does not want to be a marquis, only a general." ”

Li Yuan immediately raised his head and laughed when he heard this, and the laughter shook in the empty hall.
