Li Yuan thought about it for a long time, and finally said, "It's okay."

This "no matter what", this "expedient measure", after all, has left a great shame in the history of the Tang Dynasty, and it will have to be washed away by Li Jing in the future.

At that time, Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin was also in Taiyuan.

Since it was decided to start an incident, Li Yuan summoned Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, as well as Sun Shunde, Liu Hongji and others, the head of the door, to discuss the big strategy.

It was decided that Liu Wenjing would send an envoy to the Turks, and Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Shunde, and Liu Hongji would recruit troops.

At the same time, Li Yuan urgently sent a secret envoy to Hedong to summon his eldest son Li Jiancheng and fourth son Li Yuanji to the meeting.

Envoys, recruitment, and other matters cannot be known to Wang Wei and Gao Junya.

Pei Lin said: "Liu Wuzhou is opposed, and Pharmacist Li of Mayi County is derelict in his duties. Why don't you transfer the tiger away from the mountain and order Wang Wei and Gao Junya to detain Pharmacist Li? ”

Liu Wenjing and Li Mi are sons and daughters, because of Li Mi, he knows a little about Li Yaoshi and his person, admires him very much, and praises him as "the first general in the world".

Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing are good friends, and they have heard that Pharmacist Li has been famous for a long time.

Now Pharmacist Li led the officers and soldiers to stick to Mayi and compete with Liu Wuzhou, which made Li Shimin even more fond of it, and suddenly regretted that he didn't know each other.

Now I heard Pei Lin say that he was going to "detain" Pharmacist Li, and he objected at the moment: "Daddy, Pharmacist Li is the number one general in the world." Such a talent should be treated with courtesy, how can it be "detained"? ”

Pei Lin smiled and said: "Second son, Pharmacist Li is the number one general in the world, how can you detain Wang Wei and Gao Junya?" In our "Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain", there is also a plan of "borrowing a knife to kill people", so that Pharmacist Li can deal with the two of them. Even if Pharmacist Li doesn't kill him, after the two of them come back, they will inevitably be guilty of incompetence. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he had no choice but to stop talking.

Pharmacist Li is recognized as the world's number one general, how can he not have eyeliner in Taiyuan? At that time, he and the dust were on the top of the mountain, looking at Taiyuan from afar, and he once regarded the topography of this area as "the shoulder ridge of the world", "the country of the four stops", and "the foundation of Hedong".

Later, in Xu Hongke's Yuntang clean room, he participated in the study of the remnants of the game with the bearded dragon, and the middle bet of "one son sets the Central Plains" refers to Taiyuan.

Therefore, Pharmacist Li has already sent people to arrange a green bamboo in the Tongzi Temple on Longshan Mountain in the southwest of Taiyuan.

The Book of Songs. Wei Feng. Qiao Qiao": "Zhan Bi Qiao Qiao, green bamboo is rampant. ”

The territory of the Zhou Dynasty Weiguo, with today's northern Henan and southern Hebei, Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty "Mao's Poetry Collection" described this area as "the great river on the ground...... its horizon".

Pharmacist Li has been in Ji County in Weizhou for several years, and knows that low and humid places are the most suitable for the growth of green bamboo.

However, Taiyuan is both tall and dry, and it is difficult for green bamboo to survive.

At that time, looking at Taiyuan, except for the Tongzi Temple, there was no green bamboo.

Pharmacist Li traveled from the eastern capital to Mayi to take up his post, passing through Taiyuan on the way.

Seeing the green bamboo in the Tongzi Temple, he was greatly appreciated, and immediately ordered the main monk in the temple to "report the safety of the bamboo every day".

No matter how rare and rare the planting, how can there be a reason why it is necessary to report safety "every day"? Although Li Yuan knew that this was a transmission of news between the monk and Pharmacist Li, he was suffering from no evidence.

If you make a quick move, won't you look weak-hearted? So it didn't stop it, but only monitored.

Let's say that Wang Wei and Gao Junya were ordered to come to Ma Yi to detain Pharmacist Li, and of course Pharmacist Li already knew.

Wang and Gao thought that Pharmacist Li would resist arrest and prepare to fight each other.

Unexpectedly, Pharmacist Li greeted him with courtesy and extended the two of them into the county office.

In the middle of a few words, Pei Lian's plan was exposed.

When Wang and Gao learned of the scheme, they were furious; He was even more shocked when he learned that Li Yuan was preparing to start an incident, and he hurriedly wanted to rush back to Taiyuan.

Pharmacist Li asked idly: "I don't know what the two of you want to do when you return to Taiyuan?" ”

Wang and Gao were both stunned.

Pharmacist Li said with a smile: "Now Taiyuan must be prepared, the two of you will not be detained, how to repay, please make plans in advance." ”

The two of them hurried to ask for advice.

Pharmacist Li smiled and said, "It's not in the Lower Trust, if this Ma Yi is without me Pharmacist Li, I don't know how long it will last?" ”

Wang and Gao suddenly realized and hurriedly thanked them.

Pharmacist Li smiled: "Why should you be too humble? Now that I can't leave Mayi, I am afraid that I will have to work partially. ”

Wang Wei and Gao Junya agreed, immediately bid farewell to Pharmacist Li, hurried back to Taiyuan, and reported to Li Yuan: "Ma Yi relied on Pharmacist Li's flexible use of tactics, defended tens of thousands of thieves with thousands of officers and soldiers, stuck to the city, fought hard and unyieldingly, and there was no dereliction of duty. If there was no Pharmacist Li in Ma Yi, Xun would be occupied by Liu Wu and Zhou, so we did not detain him. ”

The two of them reciprocated like this, and Li Yuan could not cure him of the crime of "ineffective work".

Li Yaoshi originally hoped that Wang Wei and Gao Junya would sue Li Yuan for a change, but at this time, Yang Guang had already visited the Jiangdu three times, and if he wanted to change the change, he had to go to Wu.

Wang and Gao actually didn't trust Pharmacist Li, and discussed with each other: "Taiyuan and Jiangdu are more than 2,000 miles apart, and there are Li Yuan's secret agents along the way. I'm afraid that you and I will be captured before we arrive in Jiangdu, won't we give our lives in vain? ”

So the king and Gao found another plan.

The two of them went back and forth to Mayi, but in just a few days, Li Yuan had already recruited thousands of soldiers.

Since it is no longer invincible, it can only be outwitted.

At that time, there had been a drought for a long time, so the two of them asked Li Yuan to pray for rain at Tang Shuyu's temple.

Privately, officers and soldiers were dispatched to prepare to capture Li Yuan.

How could Li Yuan be an ordinary person, how could he not know that there was fraud? On the one hand, he planned to pray for rain, and on the other hand, he secretly ordered Li Shimin and others to prepare elite soldiers to wait.

When they came to Tang Shuyu's ancestral hall, Wang and Gao ordered people to be arrested.

It was expected that Li Yuan had more troops, but the two of them were arrested and immediately beheaded on charges of treason.

Wang Wei and Gao Junya were eliminated, and Li Yuan immediately denounced Liu Wuzhou.

With Liu Wenjing as the vanguard, he personally led the army north.

Pharmacist Li learned that Wang and Gao had been beheaded, and Li Yuan went north, but his vanguard Liu Wenjing came north and passed through Fenyang Palace, but he did not camp or attack, but hurried straight to Beisai.

Seeing this, Pharmacist Li said to Chuchen: "Liu Wenjing's exit must be to contact the Turks, it seems that Li Yuan has decided to do it." ”

Out of the dust said: "Since Li Yuan has made friends with the Turks, he can't be an enemy of Liu Wuzhou. He led the army north, and his intention was not to come to Fenyang Palace, but to come directly at Mayi. Now that Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan are relying on the Turks, unless we follow in their footsteps, we are afraid that it will be difficult to protect ourselves. ”

Pharmacist Li said, "Not bad. However, Liu Wuzhou had been in contact with the Turks for a long time, and he had long regarded Ma Yi as a forbidden country. He led the Turkic soldiers to attack Mayi, and we fought against it, and the Turks were already dissatisfied. Now, even if you want to make friends with the Turks, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve your wish. ”

Hearing this, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Liu Wuzhou regards Ma Yi as a forbidden place, and if Li Yuan wants to communicate with the Turks, he can't get his hands on Ma Yi. Now he is leading a large army to the north, not to occupy Mayi, but only for you and me. ”
