After Wang Qi joined the service, the trajectory of his life also changed from history.

Historically, after Li Gang served as the secretary of the Li Tang Rite Department and the crown prince Zhan, he recommended Wang Jue to the crown prince Li Jiancheng to join the army as a counselor, and the two became members of the tài sub dǎng. Wang Qi is out of Shi Li Tang.

At the banquet of Jinyang Palace that day, Li Chongjiu, Su Su and the Taiyuan County scholars talked very happily. After the night banquet in Jinyang Palace, Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan came together to congratulate Li Chongjiu on receiving Wang Jue.

During the banquet, Li Chongjiu talked with them about Wang Qi's words.

Wen Yanbo said: "Wei Gong attacked Luoyang, the victory or defeat is unknown, if the winner Wei Gong can enter the world, if the loser, our army will immediately abandon it, I am afraid that others will say that we are in trouble and flee, but this matter is not urgent to put it aside, but Wang Qi's words, there is a sense of persuasion, I don't know what to do with Shanggu Gong's will?" ”

Li Chongjiu frowned and said, "I just called myself the history of Youzhou Thorn, this matter is too fast." ”

Ji Chuan said: "Shanggu Gong, I agree with Wen Changshi's words, which is worthy of the name. For example, when Wang had to pull out, the flow of high opening roads, the place based on only one county, and his subordinates roared more than 100,000 homeless people, and dared to call the king the emperor, that is beyond his strength, but now I Youzhou has taken and merged the state, as Wang Jue said, Taiyuan is the land of the king's foundation, and the lord of the mandate of heaven cannot keep it. If you still claim to be the assassin of Youzhou, I am afraid that the Taiyuan Shi clan thinks that Shanggu Gong has no ambition to shepherd one side, but not to aspire to the world. ”

Li Chongjiu frowned, it seems that this matter is not easy to do, at the beginning, he and Dou Jiande went to the table together to persuade Li Mi to be the king, but Li Mi did not agree to the undecided reason in the east, and now if he is called the king, he is not jumping above Li Mi.

However, there are precedents for this matter, such as Dou Jiande and Li Chongjiu on the one hand, proclaiming himself a minister to Li Mi, but on the other hand, he called himself the king of Changle. It is no wonder that when Li Mi summoned Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande shirked on the grounds that Li Chongjiu was still in the north, and did not dare to go south to meet lightly.

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Shanggu Gong, if you are not in a hurry to become the king, but if there is something right now, is it interesting?" ”

"What?"

Wen Yanbo said: "The last time our army conquered Shangdang County, when passing by Shi Ai, didn't someone claim to be the uncle of the Valley Princess, and came to recognize his relatives? ”

Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered it when he heard it, and said with a smile: "But there is such a thing, I almost forgot about it." ”

Wen Yanbo said: "The subordinates have been verified, this person is indeed from the Zhongshan Li family, you must know that Li Qi, the ancestor of the Li family in Zhongshan, and Li Mu, the ancestor of the Li family in Zhao County, are brothers. ”

"If Shanggu Gong is willing to accept Zhongshan Li's family, he can revive Zhao in the name of Li Mu, after all, today's Taiyuan, Lou Fu two counties, is exactly the place of Zhongshan and Zhao back then.

Listening to Wen Yanbo's words, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, such a complicated relationship was actually pulled out by him.

Wen Yanbo was also very euphemistic, only saying that it was built yì, after all, whether to recognize the sect or not still depends on Li Chongjiu's meaning. But Li Chongjiu thought about it, after all, he was born as a thief, and his true origin was not known for a long time, and Li Hu needed to be asked about this matter.

However, in this era, everyone is popular to put gold on their faces, Liu Bang, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, is after Liu Qing, the doctor of the Wei State, Yang Jian traces, it is after Yang Zhen, the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Li Yuan calls himself the Emperor of Xiliang Li Wei, in fact, whether the three ancestors are really like this is still to be discussed.

Li Chongjiu decided to put the matter on hold for the time being.

Ji Chuan immediately told Li Chongjiu: "This time, our army captured Jinyang, and after the city fell, many families of Li Tang's ministers and generals were trapped in the city. ”

After the city of Jinyang was broken, Li Chongjiu captured Li Sixing, the protector of the Qi Palace, and Cao Wushiyi, the two of them. When Li Yuan raised troops from Jinyang, the families of many meritorious ministers stayed in Jinyang, and how to deal with these people was a difficult problem.

Ji Chuan said: "Shanggu Gong, we can take these people hostage, write a letter to Chang'an, and force their relatives to oppose the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what to do?" ”

Wen Yanbo said with a straight face: "This is a violent act, now our army has just captured Taiyuan, the people's hearts are not attached, if you do this, you will be unanimously condemned by the people of Taiyuan." ”

Ji Chuan said: "Those who succeed are not informal, I think it is okay." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "As far as I know, since Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he has moved many important ministers and relatives to Chang'an. ”

Wen Yanbo said: "Exactly, Chang'an is prosperous, so everyone yearns for it, and leaving important ministers in Chang'an can make it not change." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Since the relatives of the important ministers are not here, what we can threaten is just some insignificant people, rather than destroying the reputation of our army, it is better to let them go." Family and affection are the most precious things of people, how can we rely on this to coerce to achieve the goal, anyway, these people stay in Jinyang, it is also not good for me, it is better to let them return to Chang'an, so as to show the name of our army's leniency. ”

Wen Yanbo said when he heard this: "Shanggu Gong is really a benevolent person. ”

After the agreement, Wen Yanbo is now in Jinyang to make a list, except for the prisoners in custody, the rest of Li Tang's family members can be allowed to have their own, and those who are willing to live in Taiyuan will live here, and will never be held accountable in the future, and those who are willing to go to Chang'an to find their relatives will go as far as they go.

As soon as the news came out, the people of the Taiyuan Shi clan were relieved, and they all applauded.

Compared with when he first entered Youzhou, he was unanimously treated coldly by the Youzhou scholars, and here the Taiyuan scholars, no matter the people of the scholars, they regard Li Chongjiu as their own people, not to mention that there is a layer of township relations.

Of course, there are still many scholars who regard Li Chongjiu as a grassroots rising nouveau riche, but when he first occupied Youzhou, Li Chongjiu is now in his fledgling, and there are not many scholars who hold such a view.

After all, now the Taiyuan Shi clan has been suppressed by the imperial court after the rebellion of King Yang Liang of the Han Dynasty, and Li Yuan has only been operating in Jinyang for three years.

In history, when Liu Wuzhou attacked Jinyang, it was precisely because of the sacrifice of the city by the scholars in the city that the city of Jinyang was broken, which shows that the Li family's operation in the base camp of Jinyang was not very good.

Now that Wang Jue has joined the service, Wang Jue has recommended several Taiyuan Wang disciples to Li Chongjiu.

For Wang Jue, this is an opportunity to promote his fellow clansmen, and in Li Chongjiu's view, this can vigorously win over the Taiyuan Wang family.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu agreed to Wang Jue's recommendation and merged it into Youzhou Thorn Mansion or Taiyuan County as an official.

And Li Chongjiu promoted Wang Jue to join the army as a secretary, and served the same position as Xue Wanshu.

After the Taiyuan Shi clan was co-opted, it was very beneficial to Li Chongjiu's consolidation of power in Taiyuan County, but as Wang Jue said, Taiyuan was the land of four wars, with Liu Wuzhou in the north, Turkic, and Li Tang in the south.

In case of a conflict between Li Chongjiu and Dou Jiande in Youzhou in the future, then Taiyuan County must be able to defend itself for half a year without the support of the Youzhou army.

Before Su Su shepherded Shanggu County, after the war, the people resumed production, and there was the sound of chickens and dogs hearing each other.

Now that he has come to Taiyuan County to govern, Ken can be competent, not to mention that he and Li Chongjiu are generally natives of Taiyuan County and have quite a lot of connections in the local area. Li Chongjiu still let Su Su serve as the county guard of Shanggu, the county guard of Taiyuan two counties, and the original Shanggu County Cheng Zhao Wansan, was the county guard of Yanmen County and shared Su Su's duties.

There is Su Su guarding Taiyuan County, Li Chongjiu can rest assured.

is just a general guarding Taiyuan, but Li Chongjiu is thinking about it.

For example, Li Chongjiu's generals, Wang Mahan, Tan Zong, Eto, Ying Hefu, Yan Yelie, and Wu Gu Nai can all be called brave generals, but they can't be alone, as for Xue Wanche, although Xue Wanjun is young and brave, but after all, the qualifications are not enough, so if you want to defend one side, only Wei Chigong can be it.

But Youzhou also left Wei Chi Gong, but compared with the two, Li Chongjiu could only follow the power and let Wei Chi Gong lead 5,000 armed guards to be stationed in Taiyuan. Xue Wanche led 30 million victorious troops and temporarily stationed in Fenyang to echo Yanmen, Taiyuan two counties.

At the same time, Li Chongjiu asked Wei Chigong to recruit 10,000 soldiers in Taiyuan County, select 3,000 elite government soldiers, and the rest were all township soldiers.

And Li Chongjiu promoted Xue Wanjun to the general of the Wuwei Army, and recruited 5,000 soldiers from the township soldiers and localities in Youzhou and Shanggu. And the government soldiers and township soldiers who were lost in the previous battles of each army made up for each other, which was another expense.

Although this attack on Shanxi was very plundering, this was an army expansion plan that had not been approved by the Assassin Mansion and the County Guard Mansion.

After Li Chongjiu has decided to return to Youzhou, he will not go out of the Assassin's Mansion, otherwise Wei Zheng and Chen Xiaoyi will know, and Li Chongjiu will have to look at the pig's liver face of the two.

The Taiyuan major matter has been disposed of, Li Chongjiu has been in Jinyang for a few days, and the generals of the Han army have returned to their hearts together, urging together, Youzhou must not be left unattended.

Li Chongjiu decided not to wait for Li Zhiwan's news, and led the army back to Youzhou from Taiyuan County, and Etuo, Yinghefu, and Yan Yelie, Tudiji, with rich results, were also satisfied with their respective families.

The first battle between Youzhou and Li Tang in Hedong came to an end.

The losses of each side were not small, and Li Chong's 960,000 troops were killed, wounded, frostbitten, and missing in this campaign, reaching nearly 10,000 people. However, fortunately, Taiyuan County is occupied, and the manpower and material resources of Taiyuan County are better than Zhuo County, and it will not take long for Li Chongjiu to recover his strength and go to the next level.

Li Tang's casualties were far above Li Chongjiu, Li Tang not only lost Taiyuan County, several prefectures in Hedong were sacked, and even Yin Kaishan, the head of the Taiyuan Road march, was killed, but Li Shimin eliminated the two hidden dangers of Lu Chongmao and Yao Junsu in Hedong. Moreover, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, has more than 30 counties in Sichuan and Shu, which can far offset the loss of Taiyuan County.

However, this represents the future trend of the world, and the battle of the Hebei forces to challenge the Guanzhong forces has been ignored by most people in the world.

Now the eyes of the people of the world are on the Central Plains Li Mi and Yu Wenhua and the battle for Luoyang, and the Western Liang son Xiao Milling Jingxiang raised troops, proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangling, and proclaimed himself the king of Liang, swept dozens of states, and the world has been one of the six points.
