Chapter 183: Jinyang Rises Troops

On the night of May 14, the bright moon hung high, as bright as a mirror.

There are no pedestrians on the streets of Jinyang City, and after a day of hustle and bustle, they are silent and quiet.

On the second watch, a fast horse galloped in from the west gate, the sound of hooves was crisp, stirring in the quiet night, from the west of the city to the east of the city, a burst of dog barking one after another.

The fast horse galloped all the way to the Taiyuan Left-behind Government Office, and the rider dismounted in front of the Government Office and ran into the Government Office quickly.

------

After a while, two sergeants led their horses out of the west corner of the official office, turned over their horses and galloped away, and again startled a burst of dog barking.

It didn't take long for Wu Benlang to bring Wang Wei and Wu Yalang to Gao Junya with the two sergeants who had just come out of the official office to the Left-behind Mansion.

In the hall of the official office, General Youxiaowei and Tang Guogong Li Yuan were already waiting in the hall, and when they saw Wang Wei and Gao Junya coming, they didn't have too much politeness, so they let the two of them sit in the hall and took out the urgent report they had just received for them to watch.

The urgent report said that in recent days, tens of thousands of cavalry have been gathered by the Turkic Pillar State Kang Sheli Division, and there is a risk of attacking Taiyuan.

The military situation was urgent, and Li Yuan summoned Wang Wei and Gao Junya to discuss countermeasures. The safety of Taiyuan was at stake, and the three of them, as the military and political leaders of Shanxi, were not allowed to urgently find countermeasures and had a long talk all night.

-------

Just when Li Yuan, Wang Wei and Gao Junya were staying at the government office to discuss matters, Li Shimin led hundreds of soldiers to quietly set off from the east of Jinyang Palace and dispersed to various places in the city to guard the intersections of various streets in Jinyang City.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, Li Shimin was fully armed, wearing a lance and a bow, and it could be seen from his grim expression that on this moonlit and starry night, something important would happen in Jinyang City.

------

In the early morning of 15 May, Li Yuan, Wang Wei, and Gao Junya were still discussing matters in the hall of the official office, all with sad faces, and they had no good way to deal with the Turks.

At this time, Jinyang County ordered Liu Wenjing and the marching Sima Liu Zhenghui to come to the hall, and Liu Zhenghui reported to Li Yuan, "There is a secret complaint here, accusing someone of fornicating with the Turks and wanting to lure the thieves into Taiyuan."

Li Yuan looked at Wang Wei and motioned for him to take the secret form and watch. Wang Wei looked at Liu Zhenghui and raised his hand to receive the secret form.

Liu Zhenghui stood still and said to Li Yuan, "The person who sent the secret letter said that it was a confidential matter and could only be seen by Tang Gong alone."

Wang Wei put down his raised left hand in embarrassment, his face showed displeasure, and he secretly scolded in his heart, Liu Zhenghui was a child, but he didn't take General Ben in his eyes.

Gao Junya also looked at Liu Zhenghui strangely, thinking in her heart, what was told in the secret complaint, only Li Yuan could read it.

------

Liu Zhenghui walked up to Li Yuan and handed the secret form to Li Yuan, Li Yuan took the secret form and opened it to look at it, with a surprised look on his face, and said to himself, "There is such a thing? said that Wang Wei and Gao Junya secretly colluded with the Turks and wanted to enter Kou Taiyuan."

After hearing this, Gao Junya suddenly stood up, waved her arms and shouted, "This is you traitors trying to kill me."

While scolding, he glared at Li Yuan angrily, and made a gesture to rush forward.

The eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji had already led people to wait outside the door, and when they heard Gao Junya scolding, they immediately rushed into the hall and protected Li Yuan.

Wang Wei saw that the momentum was not right, and he hurriedly stood up, and Gao Junya picked up the couch on the ground to resist.

------

Li Yuan sat still and said slowly, "Don't be angry with the two generals, before they are verified, you still need to be wronged."

Gao Junya is Yang Guang's cronies, and was once a fierce general under Yang Guang, and he planned to break the net with Li Yuan, but when he saw the eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji standing in front of him, he thought in his heart that they were not two opponents, and it would be useless to fight in vain, and he would only bring humiliation on himself, so he had to put down the couch and let Li Yuan fall.

Li Yuan ordered Liu Wenjing, Changsun Shunde, and Liu Hongji to temporarily detain Wang Wei and Gao Junya, and then summoned the civil and military officials of Taiyuan County to announce in public that Wang Wei and Gao Junya were guilty of colluding with the Turks, and imprisoned them in Taiyuan Prison.

------

It turned out that when Wang Wei and Gao Junya proposed to Li Yuan to go to the Jin Ancestral Hall to pray for rain, they had already set up a plan to murder Li Yuan at the Jin Ancestral Hall on May 15.

At that time, Liu Shilong secretly reported to Li Yuan and Li Shimin about Wang Wei and Gao Junya's plan. After Li Yuan and Li Shimin discussed, they decided to strike first, so they formulated a plan to capture Wang Wei and Gao Junya.

------

Wang Wei and Gao Junya had just been detained here, and the next day, tens of thousands of Turkic light horsemen invaded Jinyang. Li Yuan ordered the defenders to hide above the city, take down the flags, and open the city gates, so that the sergeants were not allowed to look outside or speak loudly.

The Turks had suffered Li Yuan's big losses before, but now they saw that the gate of Jinyang City was wide open, and they did not know the truth and reality, so they went around the outer city, and finally did not dare to enter the city.

------

Now that Jinyang is about to raise troops, tens of thousands of Turkic light cavalry are coming, and it is not much of a victory compared to it; If the battle is defeated, it will greatly damage the morale of the soldiers; Even if you can win, it will hurt your vitality.

Li Yuan thought about it again and again, and didn't want to fight with the Turkic cavalry, so he summoned Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Pei Lin and others to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Wenjing believes that at this critical moment, we should not form a grudge with the Turks, but should befriend the Turks, so that we will have no worries about going south and westward in the future.

Li Yuan adopted Liu Wenjing's suggestion, and several people made a plan to retreat.

------

In order to boost morale, Li Yuan summoned his subordinates, and he looked calm, talked and laughed as usual, and said to the officials, "The Turkic army is nothing to fear, it has been deceived by Wang Wei and Gao Jun Yayu, and I only need to use a little trick to let them retreat on their own."

The officials did not believe Li Yuan's words very much, the Turkic light cavalry tens of thousands of people rushed from afar, how could there be a reason to retreat on their own without a fight? But he could only act with half-believing thoughts and act according to Li Yuan's arrangement.

------

At night, Li Yuan sent his soldiers out of the city to occupy the dangerous terrain, telling them not to engage the Turkic army when they saw it quickly occupying the dangerous point, and not to pursue the Turkic army when they left.

In addition, the army was also sent out of the city quietly at night, and in the morning, disguised as reinforcements transferred from other places, entered the city of Jinyang with great fanfare.

The Turkic army could not understand the situation in Jinyang City, and did not dare to enter Jinyang City rashly, and on the second day, they plundered outside the city, and then retreated on their own.

------

The military and civilians of the whole city all admired the wisdom and martial arts of Tang Guogong and the use of soldiers like gods, and at the same time they were even more annoyed that Wang Wei and Gao Junya colluded with the Turks. In order to calm the anger of the public, Li Yuan beheaded Wang Wei and Gao Junya to show the public.

The civil and military officials all congratulated Li Yuan and praised Tang Guogong's clever plan to scare off the Turkic cavalry.

Li Yuan smiled lightly, as if this matter was not worth mentioning, and said to the officials, "Designing to let the Turks withdraw from the army is just a trivial matter, I only need to repair a letter to Shibi Khan, and in the future, the Turks will be used by me, and I dare not violate my realm again."

------

So when the public repaired the book and the Turkic Shibi Khan, the book stated that they were willing to respect Sui together and serve Emperor Wen of Sui, the two sides were friendly and friendly, and sent Liu Wenjing as a messenger to see Shibi Khan with Li Yuan's personal letter.

Shibi Khan received Li Yuan's letter, and was overjoyed, and immediately replied to Liu Wenjing to bring it back, expressing his approval of the friendship between the two sides, but did not agree with Li Yuan's statement that he would respect Sui together, and wanted Li Yuan to establish himself as the Son of Heaven before he was willing to make friends between the two sides.

------

Liu Wenjing went back and forth for seven days, and returned to Jinyang with Shibi Khan's reply.

Hearing that Shibi Khan was willing to make friends with both sides and wanted Tang Guogong to establish himself as the son of heaven, the civil and military officials danced happily one by one, and persuaded Li Yuan to agree to Shibi Khan's request.

Li Yuan said awe-inspiringly, "I am a Sui minister, I have received the emperor's grace, and I should be loyal and observant, I originally wanted to make friends with the Turks, so that they would no longer invade the south, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but I didn't expect him to force me to stand on my own as the son of heaven, this matter is absolutely impossible, and you don't need to persuade me again."

Seeing that Li Yuan spoke righteously and sincerely, the officials did not dare to persuade him again.

-------

When the newly recruited soldiers stationed in Xingguo Temple heard that Li Yuan did not agree to Shibi Khan's request to establish himself as the Son of Heaven, they privately discussed, "If the Duke of Tang does not agree to the Turks' request to let him establish himself as the Son of Heaven, we will not want to follow the Duke of Tang anymore."

Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin learned of the soldiers' discussions, and immediately reported to Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang.

Li Yuan reprimanded in front of all the officials, "You and I are both Sui ministers, but you persuade me with such words, where is the minister?"

Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin tried their best to persuade, "If Yi Yin and Jiang Shang are loyal to Ji and Zhou, they will not be Shang and Zhou's ministers. Now that I am waiting for Tang Gong to change my life, I will no longer be informal. Now that the soldiers have been assembled, all that is needed is a war horse, and if you don't agree to Shibi Khan's request, you can't get Huma. If Tang Gong doesn't make up his mind early, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it."

After Li Yuan heard this, he seemed to be moved, and sighed, "If you don't follow the example of the ancients, it will indeed be difficult to accomplish things, but I hope that you can consider it in detail and see if you can come up with a solution for both?"

------

In June, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came to Jinyang with their families, Li Sanniang did not accompany them, and Chai Shao was alone.

Li Yuan was overjoyed when he saw his son and son-in-law coming, and he no longer had worries in his heart.

Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin came to see Li Yuan and reported to Li Yuan about the strategy they had discussed.

On behalf of everyone, Pei Lin said to Li Yuan, "The Duke of Tang should follow the story of Yi Yin Dajia and Huo Guang abolishing the king of Changyi, abolishing the current emperor and establishing a king, spreading the word to the counties and counties across the country to raise righteous soldiers, and changing the flag to show the Turks. This is not contrary to the way of respecting Sui, but also conforms to the will of God and the will of the people."

After Li Yuan heard this, he sighed, "Doing this is tantamount to covering your ears and stealing the bell, but it has to be like this because of the situation. Although I am sorry for the Lord of the present, I am not disappointed by the previous emperor."

Pei Lin and others comforted Li Yuan, "Today, the Lord inherits the heir to Emperor Wen, and Yang Su has brought disaster to the dictatorship of the country, and the country has lost his family, causing the people to be angry and angry, and chaos has arisen, this is God's punishment for him, and he deserves it."

------

The discussion was decided, and Li Yuan sent an envoy to report to the Turkic Shibi Khan, telling him: Respect the current lord as the emperor, establish the king Yang Yu as the emperor, and change the banner to red and white.

Shibi Khan agreed to Li Yuan's approach and sent his pillar Guokang Sheli and others to send 1,000 horses to Taiyuan for trading.
