At present, Shimin has successfully arrived in Jiangdu, and when the New Year is over, he will become Yang Guang's second son-in-law.

Yang Guang gave Shimin a mansion in Jiangdu as a horse mansion.

When Li Shimin heard that the imperial court was about to use troops in Lingnan next year, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go with the army, Yang Guang was very happy, and Li Yuan did not object.

This is the second son, and it is possible to take risks.

The eldest son wants to attack the knighthood, which is the foundation of the family inheritance, and there is no dangerous wall, but the second son must rely on himself to work hard, otherwise it is not easy to mix the title, even if he is a colt.

Li Jing is like this, his eldest brother Li Duan doesn't need to work hard to have a knighthood, but he can't.

Li Shimin has high ambitions, is familiar with military books, and has been studying with Yang Rui in Xue Daoheng, his own vision has far surpassed his peers, he wants to join the army, not for merit, purely for interest.

Li Shimin, who has no one in ancient and modern times, is about to go to the battlefield.

Li Shimin, before Princess Shang, was the second son of the Duke of Tang State, and he was at most a general when he entered the army, but after Princess Shang, he was the emperor's son-in-law, so Yang Guang was directly named Sima as the head of the march, which was regarded as the third-in-command.

Mai Tiezhu is the head of the march, Xin Shixiong is the deputy head of the army, there is no long history, and the following is the chief manager Sima.

Li Shimin did not refine the armor, and the old father Li Yuan hurriedly took out a set from the family's treasury and asked people to modify the armor according to Shimin's body type.

Mother Dou is actually reluctant to take risks for her son, but after all, she is a person who is used to seeing big storms, and she knows that a family like theirs is unjustifiable if she does not serve the country.

Historically, the Dou family died very early, probably the ninth year of the Great Cause, that is, next year.

Without her, the three sons are inseparable, in fact, think about it, if the Dou family can live a few more years, maybe the brothers cannibalism, it is possible to avoid it.

This is their own mother, Jiancheng, Shimin, and Yuanji have spent the most time with the Dou family since they were children, and they are closer to their mother than Li Yuan, who is away all the year round.

If the Dou family can have the age of Li Yuan, the history of the Tang Dynasty may have to be rewritten, yes, no matter how awesome Li Shimin is, he will not disobey his mother.

Without his mother's Li Shimin, Li Yuan can't manage it.

In fact, the change in Xuanwumen, fundamentally speaking, was caused by Li Yuan, after Li Shimin destroyed Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, you can see what kind of official Li Yuan gave him.

Admiral Tiance, who is above the Three Princes, has the power to open the furnace and mint money and purchase the official office.

Throughout the ages, there has been no greater official position than this.

How big is Shaandong Road? Shandong, Henan, Hebei, the top of the three provinces.

With this power of Li Shimin, let alone the completion of the work, he can directly do Li Yuan, so the change of Xuanwumen is equivalent to cleaning up with Li Yuan, Li Yuan is a father, he can't be killed, so he is the emperor.

Until later generations, many people thought that the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Shimin, don't you believe it? I asked some people on the street, and the answer was that Li Shimin was definitely more than Li Yuan.

Because it is indeed the people of Tiance Mansion who fight the world, which is why Li Shimin did not kill the heroes.

Because with him, there is no one who has a great merit and no one who has greater merit than him.

"The last general, Li Shimin, meet the governor," in the temporary tent of Yuzhang County, Li Shimin saw Mai Tiezhu and Xin Shixiong.

The army will assemble here, and when it arrives next April, it will march south.

"Sit down," said Mai Tiezhuan as he invited the other party to sit down, and said with a smile:

"Although the people of the world are young, they have no intention of underestimating them, and my brother Dingfang once said that the prince has high hopes for the people, but he never thought that the day of his emergence would come so early."

Xin Shixiong also smiled: "There are talented people in the country, and our old guys are almost unable to do anything, sooner or later we have to make room for you, Shimin has worked hard along the way, right?" ”

Li Shimin came to report this time, probably after being familiar with military affairs, he had to go back to Jiangdu to marry his daughter-in-law, and only after marrying his daughter-in-law would he return to the army.

From Jiangdu County to Yuzhang County, separated by Liyang County, Lujiang County, Tong'an County, Qichun County, and Jiujiang County, the road is not close, and Li Shimin is also anxious and wants to come over as soon as possible to see the situation, after all, this is the first time in his life.

"It's not hard," Li Shimin's eyes glanced at the sand table in the center of the big tent.

Mai Tiezhu saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "Since he is the Sima of the army, the people of the world may wish to talk about their opinions." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I don't know what the current situation is with the recruitment of the army? ”

Xin Shixiong explained: "Half of it, and the remaining half will arrive one after another by February next year. ”

"And what about Lingnan?" Shimin asked.

Xin Shixiong said: "Shi'an County is expected, it has been lost, Qiu He and Pei Xuanji are returning to the north, like them, it is not considered to have lost the city and land, after all, Lingnan has been disobedient to the imperial court for a long time, and they cannot recruit soldiers locally." ”

Shimin smiled: "Actually, strictly speaking, they can be regarded as losing the city and land, but the situation is special and can be lenient." ”

Mai Tiezhu and Xin Shixiong couldn't help but glance at each other, this kid is not very old, and he is quite serious.

That's right, the situation of Qiu He and Pei Xuanji is a real loss of the city and land, and the Great Sui Law does not record it, which case does not count, but as long as they abandon it, even if they lose the city, no matter what the reason.

But Qiu and them, there is really no way, there is no one under them, and they are in a barbarian land that they are not familiar with, and they originally came to implement the imperial court policy, who knew that they were caught off guard.

If you really want to set up a position to fight, people Qiu He will not scare you.

"The other counties should have already called for help, right?" Shimin said again.

Mai Tiezhu nodded: "I have sent someone to Jiangdu for the letter of help from the county guards in Guidi, but at the moment, it seems that they can only protect themselves before April next year, and if the imperial court does not send troops, we can't do anything." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Is there a rebellion in Feng An's Guangzhou area?" ”

"Not yet," Xin Shixiong said.

Li Shimin said directly: "Then we will directly fight Feng An, this person stands by and watches, wants to sit back and reap the profits, and has to be guarded, if my army drives directly to Guizhou, once there is a change in Guangzhou, it can directly cut off my back road, which is a taboo for marching." ”

Mai Tiezhu and Xin Shixiong were shocked at the same time, looking at each other.

"But Your Majesty's will is for us to put down the rebellion, there is no rebellion in Guangzhou, I have no excuse to send troops," Xin Shixiong frowned.

Li Shimin nodded: "We only need to say hello to Feng An, and say that the army will pass through Guangzhou by the way, so that he can be accommodating, if this person does not allow it, it is like a rebellion, and he can directly use troops, if he lets us pass, after entering Guangzhou, say that Feng Ang colluded with the rebels, and use this as an excuse to take him down." ”

Mai Tiezhu was dumbfounded: "We can't do this, can we?" Feng Ang is not at fault, and it is really unreasonable to want to add to the crime, other people's daughters, but the prince Liangyuan, if he acts like this, how will we explain to the prince in the future? ”

"Do you think the prince cares about a woman?" Li Shimin said with a smile:

"Lingnan, this place, either don't fight, since you fight, you have to fight to the death, Feng Ang and Ning Chang are really the same thing, the policy of the imperial court is not only in Guizhou, can't be implemented, isn't it the same in Guangzhou? His Majesty's use of troops this time is to completely exterminate the anti-imperial forces in Lingnan, and Feng Ang is one of them. ”

"No, no, the people of the world are too whimsical, this is not how things are done," Mai Tiezhu waved his hand again and again: "Our task is to suppress the rebellion in Guizhou, and the use of troops against Guangzhou is not in the plan, if there is chaos, Your Majesty will ask for the guilt." ”

Li Shimin said: "I am humble and light, this plan needs to be stated to Your Majesty by the two governors, the rebels in Guizhou have been prepared, Shi'an County is lost, and the thieves will inevitably be deployed in Yuechengling and Dupangling, we are not easy to fight, only the unprepared Guangzhou is the easiest to take." ”

"No, no," Xin Shixiong waved his hand and smiled as if he had heard the Arabian Nights: "Feng Ang is nominally the lord of Lingnan and the general of Zuo Wuwei, people have done nothing, but we have framed it, not a gentleman." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said no more, he also knew in his heart that most of the two would not accept this plan.

Mai Tiezhu said with a smile: "Shimin has just joined the army, and he doesn't know much about marching and fighting, you have been by the prince's side for a long time, in fact, you should understand that going out to fight is not just by conspiracy, there are many aspects to be taken into account." ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "If it were the crown prince, I wouldn't have said what I said today." ”

"That's right, the prince won't let you do this," Xin Shixiong said with a smile.

Wrong, if it is the crown prince, he doesn't need me to remind him at all, he will make such a decision, the two governors only look at the loss of one place, and do not control the overall situation, the marching commander and the marching marshal are different after all, Li Shimin smiled silently.

After Li Shimin left the big tent and went to various departments to check the arrangement of soldiers, Mai Tiezhu shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Young people now, they are so bold, Feng Ang dares to move, he dares to think like this, I don't dare to do this."

Xin Shixiong nodded: "But the opinions of the people of the world, it is indeed some foresight, Feng Ang has to guard against it, Qiu He's letter, suspecting that the Guidi rebels are supported by the Ning family behind them, fully equipped, there is no shortage of food and grass supplies, and the march is fast and the battle is clear, this is the Lingnan regular army, Feng Ang is not easy to walk on the road to Guizhou, but if he wants to go around our back, but the road is wide, and there is really such a situation that the people are worried about, even if we have the advantage of armor and are surrounded in the mountains, we will not be able to show it." ”

Mai Tiezhu sighed: "Originally, I thought that this attack on Guizhou would be easy, but after being reminded by the people of the world, the situation is quite complicated, and the variable is Feng An, if this person is also reversed, we will be attacked on the back of the enemy, but if people don't fight, we can't use soldiers, it's a dilemma." ”

The second son, Mai Zhongcai, said: "Then it's better to deal with Feng Ang first according to the method of the people, lest he put a fire behind our buttocks." ”

"How can it be that easy?" Mai Tie Cane said:

"Your Majesty is still at ease with Feng An, just look at Your Majesty to let Feng Ang go back, but did not let Ning Changzhen go back, it can be seen that this person is the leader of Lingnan Gongtui, if you deal with him, you will be the enemy of the entire Lingnan, we only have 30,000 people, it is okay to fight Guixi, and it is far from enough to fight the entire Lingnan."

"The main force is in the north, and there are no soldiers available," Xin Shixiong said: "Let's take one step at a time, Feng Ang must be on guard." ”
