Chapter 180: Li Shimin

Tang Guogong, Li Yuan.

That is, Tang Taizu, who created the Tang Dynasty in later generations.

And now Li Yuan, who was born in a noble family in Guanlong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was named the Duke of Tang Guo, and Yang Guang is still a cousin, which can be regarded as a relative of the emperor.

But for this cousin, who has always been unattractive and extremely low-key, Yang Guang is full of fear.

There have long been rumors among the people, "Eighteen sons, win the world", and in "Peach and Plum Chapter", "Peach and plum, win the world, the queen goes around Yangzhou, like a garden." Don't talk about it, who will say it?"

Eighteen sons are a "Li" character.

For these rumors, Yang Guang is deeply convinced.

Although he did not punish all the people surnamed Li in the world, he also screened the nobles and ministers surnamed Li many times in his brain, and listed several key prevention objects, among which Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong, was naturally indispensable.

And over the years, these nobles and ministers surnamed Li have either belittled them or been disposed of by Yang Guang for something.

Only Li Yuan has been cautious and has not left any tricks behind.

It was Yang Guang, who was also very difficult.

And this time, letting Li Yuan be in charge of the grain and grass was actually Yang Guang's deliberate embarrassment for the other party, if Li Yuan could not make up the grain and grass needed by the army as scheduled......

The military order is like a mountain, even if you are the Duke of Tang Guo, you will not escape death.

If it is completed as scheduled, it will be a family like the Li family in Taiyuan, but I am afraid that it will also be a big loss of vitality.

"How?"

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't say a word, Yang Guang's expression turned cold, and there was a little indifference in his words: "Could it be that Tang Guogong is not even sure to do a good job in such a trivial matter as raising grain and grass?" ”

"Minister......

Feeling the cold killing intent in the court, Li Yuan was also sweating like rain, where could he care about what Taoguang was obscure, and hurriedly said.

"Minister, Li Yuan, obey the order."

"Okay, you are limited to three months to raise the food and grass needed for the army, and if there is any delay, it must be dealt with according to military law."

"Yes......"

He had already expected this result in his heart, and Li Yuan could only smile bitterly.

Every time Yang Guang marched out with a large army, there were tens of millions of people at every turn.

And in just three months, it is difficult to raise the grain and grass needed for millions of soldiers and horses, even if the Li family is exhausted.

"Looks like ...... I had to ask them for help. ”

A figure flashed in his mind, and Li Yuan couldn't help but secretly think about it.

After that, Yang Guang began to dispatch generals.

I have to admit that in order to capture Goguryeo this time, Yang Guang can be said to have mobilized all the soldiers and horses he can use, except for the town guards, all of them have been mobilized, and they have made up 1.2 million people!

When the news spread, the world was shocked!

And in countless places where you can't see it, there is also an undercurrent......

…………

"National teacher, what do you think of the widow's army?"

The army of 1.2 million is almost immense, and there is no end in sight......

Moreover, most of these armies are experienced in a hundred battles, and each of them is an elite division, which was cultivated with Yang Guangnan's expedition to the north.

With such a momentum, ordinary people turned pale when they saw it, and their hearts were shocked.

Even Ye Chen silently made a comparison between these soldiers and the Great Song army in his mind, and had to admit in his heart that if the Sui army and the Song army were the same number, aside from the advantages brought by firearms, it would be enough to defeat the army of the Great Song Dynasty, which lacked training all year round!

"Your Majesty has trained the troops well, and the generals in his hands are all rare fierce generals, and these soldiers are also imposing...... It deserves the word 'elite'. ”

"Hahahaha, the national teacher has won the award."

When Yang Guang heard this, he was also quite happy in his heart, and laughed and said: "With the support of the national teacher, and now there are elite soldiers and strong generals, in this battle, my Great Sui will win!" ”

"The Great Sui will win—"

"Victory—"

On the side, Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er and others also shouted loudly when they heard Yang Guang's words.

And the soldiers below also shouted in unison, and the momentum shook the sky.

The army soon arrived in Taiyuan.

At this time, Li Yuan, in addition to the hereditary Tang Guogong, also served as the Taiyuan stayer.

In the face of the arrival of the army, even if it was the local governor and the person in charge of grain and grass logistics, Li Yuan naturally came out early to welcome Yang Guang's arrival.

"Minister Li Yuan, please meet Your Majesty-"

"Meet Your Majesty—"

Behind Li Yuan, a group of people also followed Li Yuan in black and bowed down to Yang Guang.

"Who are these?"

Noticing the three young people behind Li Yuan, Yang Guang also showed a hint of interest, and said, "Could it be that these are the sons of Tang Guogong?" ”

"Exactly."

Li Yuan nodded, hurriedly beckoned to a few people, motioned for them to step forward, and then introduced: "This is the eldest son Jiancheng, the second son Shimin, and the third son Yuanji." ”

"I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen the National Teacher."

Obviously, several people also knew from Li Yuan's mouth that Yang Guang was following him, and this young man who was not much older than them was the hot Great Sui National Teacher in the DPRK today.

"A few sons are talented."

His eyes swept over Li Jiancheng and the others, Ye Chen smiled playfully, suddenly thought of something, and said quietly: "I heard that when the second son was born, a Taoist priest came to your mansion and personally approved the life of the second son, leaving a 'dragon and phoenix posture, the watch of the sky, the year is about twenty, and it will be able to help the world and the people." Now it seems that it really lives up to its name......"

Hearing this, Li Yuan was also shocked.

As for Li Jiancheng on the side, his expression was slightly cold, while Li Yuanji was full of jealousy.

On the other hand, Li Shimin, who was the party concerned, smiled faintly, shook his head and said: "The love of the national teacher is just the joke of outsiders, it can't be true, Shimin has been weak since he was a child, and he has no talent to learn, so he can't be compared with the eldest brother, and even his martial arts are far inferior to the third brother...... It can be seen that this batch of fates is just a river of warlocks. ”

"Not bad...... That Taoist priest is just an unknown charlatan, how can he compare with the national teacher? ”

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said.

"Really?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "But how did I hear that this person is Ning Daoqi, one of the three great grandmasters?" ”

"Oh, what the national teacher said, but seriously?"

When Yang Guang heard this, he suddenly became interested, turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and looked at him a few times.

"Sure enough, it's a good talent and beautiful jade, Li Aiqing...... On this expedition to Liaodong, I want your second son to go with me, I don't know if you have any objections? ”

"Your Majesty!"

Li Yuan was suddenly shocked, but when he saw Li Shimin on the side, he kept glancing at him, and hurriedly changed his words: "The dog can be valued by His Majesty, it is the blessing of my Li family, and the ministers should obey it." ”

"Okay—"

Glancing at Li Yuan deeply, Yang Guangda smiled and said: "Li Aiqing's family is really loyal, I am very pleased, come to pass on my will, today I will rest in Li Aiqing's mansion for a day." ”
