Chapter 4: Changes (6A)
Leaving Boling with nothing, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He didn't blame his sister for refusing to contribute to his family, Qian'er's words were good, if his wife still put the interests of the eldest grandson's family in the first place in her heart after marrying him, he would not be happy about it.
But thinking about the possible position of the Boling Army after Taiyuan raised troops, Li Shimin felt chills in more than one place. Since the age of fourteen, he has worshipped Li Xu as a hero, fantasizing that one day when he grows up, he can gallop on the battlefield at the same time as the other party. The day is finally getting closer, but it is very likely that the knife will be raised in the opposite direction.
"It would be good if Zhong Jian was defeated by the Wagang army, and it would save a lot of trouble in the future!" Deep down, Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly assume. This thought made him feel ashamed, but like a child seeing a sweet, he could not refuse the temptation. Li Xu was defeated by Wagang, no matter whether he can return to his lair safely in the end, the Boling army will definitely be greatly damaged in a short period of time. Coupled with the threat of Luo Yi and Dou Jiande, no matter how loyal he was to Yang Guang, Li Xu would not be able to distract himself for a few years.
It's just that Li Mi has no ability! Shimin shook his head, banishing this boring and impossible hypothesis out of his mind. Regarding Li Mi's personal ability, the Tang Mansion has long been decided. This guy from a wealthy family, but he has to hang a book on the horn of the cow and read while walking, the biggest skill of this guy is to pretend to be a ghost, this person is fine before the two armies, and the Wagang army will definitely be defeated when he arrives at the battle. Counting on him to defeat Li Xu, it is better to expect a sudden heavy snow in the sky to freeze Boling Jingqi to death outside Xingze City.
But now it is the spring season of Meng, and the green apricots in Hebei and Shanxi have grown to the size of a small thumb, how can it still snow in Henan? Therefore, what should happen will happen, with Li Zhongjian's character, if he is willing to create Yang Guang's rebellion, he is not Li Zhongjian. After crippled the Wagang army, the next step will be to return to Hebei to deal with Dou Jiande. Then it was Luo Yi's turn to open the road. These people may not be able to hold their edge Sakura, and when Taiyuan raises troops, they will first have to bear the attack of the Boling elite cavalry.
"It would be nice if Zhong Jian lost one game, he has just gone too smoothly over the years, so it is difficult to be subdued by us!" Li Shimin is not the only one with unpredictable thoughts, but the eldest grandson Shunde has the same idea. It's just that he doesn't care about putting this idea out there, and he can always find a high-sounding reason for it.
"Li Mi is not Zhong Jian's opponent! Xu Maogong has a chance to compete with him, but by the time the surnamed Xu broke through the Xingyang defense line, Zhong Jian's soldiers and horses would have already entered the main village of Wagang!" Liu Hongji shook his head and vetoed the possibility depicted by the eldest grandson, Shunde.
"The kindness of sending charcoal in the snow is the most memorable. With Zhong Jian's character, if he is really defeated at the foot of Wagang Mountain, as long as we Hedong take a hand in time, we will not worry that he will not pay twelve points in return in the future. The eldest grandson Shunde smiled, still continuing to daydream. Subduing a person is like training a fierce horse, you have to let him suffer some setbacks before you can control his heart. Otherwise, even if he surrenders on the surface, it may not be easy to deploy ...... in the future."
"The eldest grandson's master book is a good idea!" Liu Hongji listened to the harsh words of the eldest grandson Shunde, frowned, and interrupted his verbosity, "Zhong Jian is a hero in the world, how can he be compared with an animal." Besides, even a good horse won't be as soft-boned as you say!"
"Hey, the old man is just making an analogy, and he doesn't really think of him as a livestock. A good horse needs to be controlled by a hero, and this hero is naturally driven by Mingjun......." The eldest grandson Shunde pursed his lips and explained.
Liu Hongji knew that the other party was not very broad-minded, so he didn't argue with him. grabbed the wine bag tied around the horse's neck, poured a few sips of it, and diverted the topic from the pretext of drinking.
"Brother Hongji doesn't have to worry about Zhong Jian, he can't lose to Li Mi. That's why Uncle Eldest Sun said that he didn't have any chance to realize his dream!" Li Shimin was afraid that the two would hurt their harmony, so he hurriedly smiled and played a round.
The eldest grandson Shunde didn't understand the kindness of the people, turned his head, and said to him with a smile: "That's not necessarily, half of the victory or defeat depends on the battlefield. Right now, there are definitely not a few people who want to watch Zhong Jian defeat the battle. If they move their hands and feet casually, it will make our General Li very difficult to deal with!"
"Who is so stupid, go and make trouble for Zhong Jian at this time! Could it be that several ministers of the dynasty still had a fateful friendship with Li Mi? Li Shimin didn't believe the words of the eldest grandson Shunde, and shook his head with a smile.
"When several ministers of the court had no friendship with the surnamed Dou, how could they suddenly transfer the old general Yang Yichen back to Jiangdu when he was killed and there was no way to escape." The eldest grandson, Shunde, looked back and pointed to the southeast with a horsewhip, "Poor General Yang, he fell ill as soon as he returned to Jiangdu, and died violently in a blink of an eye." If there is no article here, do you believe it? ”
"It's a bit weird!" Li Shimin frowned and responded.
Yang Yichen returned to Jiangdu at the beginning of last winter, when he was in the midst of a fierce battle with Dou Jiande and others. According to rumors, it was the Lord Yu who was in charge of the government who thought that the booty sent to Jiangdu by General Yang was not thick enough, so he said to Yang Guangjin: Hebei Liukou has been beaten by Li Xu, and there is no need to leave so many soldiers and horses there. Moreover, Yang Yichen has been leading heavy troops for a long time, and the soldiers under his command only know that there is a commander, but they don't know that there is an emperor.
I don't know for what purpose, another person who is known as a wise man, Master Pei Ju, who is in charge of the imperial government, also suggested that His Majesty the Emperor transfer Yang Yichen back to Jiangdu and take up the post of secretary of the military department. As a result, Yang Yichen left on the front foot, and the situation in Hebei changed suddenly. Several generals who stayed to beg for thieves were defeated by Dou Jiande one after another, and even the old team left by Yang Yichen was defeated by the bandits, and there was not half a grain of scum left.
Complete one's misery. Just last month, the news of Yang Yichen's death came from Jiangdu. It is said that before his death, he still faced the northeast, and he never forgot to go to Pingyuan County to reorganize the old department, eliminate traitors for the country, and fulfill the agreement between him and Li Xu.
"If Yang Yichen's record is too big, it is equivalent to exposing the lies made up by Yu and Pei. So the two of them naturally let the old general not be inferior. Moreover, at present, Jiangdu also lacks a veteran who can fight habitually to sit in charge to balance the strength of the Yuwen family. The two considerations add up, Yang Yichen must go back to be the secretary of the military department. As for how to make him die like he was sick, that was the Yuwen family's forte, and he didn't need to be taught at all? Seeing that Li Shimin's eyes were a little dazed, the eldest grandson Shunde smiled and said.
The changes in Jiangdu can hide from others, but they can't hide from the eyes of his eldest grandson Shunde. Because he knows those things by heart. It's just that over the years, he has been dormant with the head of the family under the command of Duke Tang, and he has never had a chance to show it. If he and Li Mi are changed now, there will be at least a dozen means that can force Li Xu to be anxious. It is not easy to completely kill the other party, and it is safe to drive General Li from the battlefield.
"But Your Majesty has always believed in Zhong Jian, and it is impossible for him to suddenly become suspicious of him like he did with Old General Yang!" Li Shimin pondered for a moment, the expression on his face thoughtful.
"The second son's words are wrong! Have you seen our majesty, which military general has trusted for a long time? Zhang Xutuo had a heavy army in his hand, and he was too close to the eastern capital, so he had to be cut off from supplies. Is the number of soldiers and horses in Zhong Jian's hands less than that of the old general Zhang Xutuo? Besides, the second son will forget that Zhong Jian's surname is Li. If you talk about the speed of rise and popularity, it is only above Li Mi, not below Li Mi!" The eldest grandson, Shunde, smiled secretly and analyzed in a low voice.
"Hmm!" Li Shimin was taken aback by the expression of the eldest grandson Shunde's pubic side, and his eyes widened as if he didn't know each other. After a while, he replied very tiredly, "Zhong Jian may be an exception, I have never seen His Majesty treat a person like this." It's like treating your own children and nephews. ”
"Does the second prince think that the Great Sui has reached such a point, and it is all the responsibility of the emperor alone?" The eldest grandson, Shunde, smiled again, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, all of which flashed with cold light. "No matter how mediocre Your Majesty is, he is alone in his confusion, and he will not let the Great Sui be defeated so quickly. Thinking about this Manchu court, who has not added firewood to the fire. Hehe, just pity Zhong Jian's idiot, and he still threw himself into the fire like a moth. ”
"The emperor won't believe those slanders, everyone knows that Zhong Jian is not like Li Mi, he is alone, even if he wants to rebel, he has no team!" Li Shimin still shook his head, but his tone of voice became weaker and weaker, his forehead was shining, and cold sweat was clearly visible.
"Zhong Jian is not without a team. It's very simple to convince the emperor that Zhong Jian has a team!" The eldest grandson Shunde put away his smile, and the expression on his face suddenly became very solemn. "In fact, although Tang Gong hasn't helped Zhong Jian much over the years, the outside world still regards him as a member of our Li family! Let's go to the right Li family! Plum of peach and plum!"
The word "Li" has been repeatedly emphasized by him countless times, and it makes people feel chills down the spine and make their scalp tingle. Li Shimin quickly turned his head to the side, looking for Liu Hongji, who was still walking beside him just now, but found that the other party didn't know when he had run to the guards, and he was drinking with his brothers with a wine bag at the moment.
"Even if the truth is as Uncle Changsun said, we can't put too much hope in others. Iron has to be hard, it needs to be prepared, and it has to be fought for!" After retracting his gaze, Li Shimin, the second son of the Tang Mansion, said in a low voice.
"The second son is right, we have to give Zhong Jian's support. As a family, you can't let others see the jokes!" The eldest grandson, Shunde, smiled and pointed the horsewhip in his hand into the distance.
At this moment, he was full of spirit, as if the picturesque country was under control.
