The book continues from the above, the last book said that after the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin was made the crown prince, and then Chu Mofeng was also accepted as a righteous son by Li Yuan's decree, and the Tang Dynasty was smoothly handed over on the ninth day of August (the ninth day of the first month), and the new emperor Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, and Chu Mofeng was named the emperor's younger brother. In the ensuing banquet, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng had a brief discussion on the next direction of the Tang Dynasty, but the Turks who were eyeing the two brothers at this moment were worried.

On the tenth day of the eighth month (the tenth day of the first month), Li Shimin, as the new emperor, promulgated the first decree: A large number of palace maids are closed in the deep palace and deserve pity. The maids of the palace should be selected and sent to their relatives separately to marry them.

The promulgation of this decree made many women in the palace who were unwilling to be palace maids feel uplifted, and in order to appease everyone's doubts, the emperor's younger brother Chu Mofeng informed the Shang Palace Bureau that each dismissed palace maid could go to Chang'an Carriage and Horse Shop with a dismissal letter to receive severance pay, and claimed that this move was implied by His Majesty.

With the return of the first palace maid who received the severance pay back to her hometown, the dismissed palace maids received the severance pay after being selected by the Shang Palace Bureau for a while, and after returning to their hometown, these people spared no effort to begin to promote the benefits of the imperial court, which also made the Central Plains on the land, because of the new emperor's succession and the people who had palpitations gradually saw hope.

Then Li Shimin ordered the palace to be exiled by the eagle dogs, and the original belonged to the construction and Yuanji of the luxury things into the warehouse, waiting for them will be sold to fill the treasury, this move was recognized by a number of courtiers, and the eldest grandson of the queen took the lead in cutting the harem by himself, but for the emperor's Taihe Palace and the concubine, the concubine and the concubine have always been the same, which also indirectly won the favor of everyone.

In view of the previous decree of the imperial court to abolish the Tiance Mansion, the generals of all parties in the capital have locked their eyes on the 1,000 Tiance army, discussing the combat power, Ordnance, the entire Tang Dynasty should be headed by the Tiance Army, so everyone has a small abacus, in order to be able to take this army into the bag, who knows that when His Majesty the Emperor is reforming in the palace, the Ministry of War suddenly issued a document announcing the recruitment of 10,000 soldiers, as soon as the news came out, the generals were surprised, and the men and horses under their command are now in a saturated state, and the soldiers are close to full, and then 10,000 soldiers are recruited at this time, which is inevitably a little inappropriate.

After having this idea, people with intentions began to inquire about the specific details of the conscription through various channels, but the answer given by the Ministry of War was that His Majesty, the emperor's younger brother, Chu Mofeng, requested that 10,000 soldiers be conscripted to form a new army.

After learning of this situation, the minds of those lower-ranking officers in the various barracks suddenly became lively, and they looked at the entire Tang Dynasty, who led the troops to fight with the best means? The first was His Majesty, and the second was the emperor's younger brother; as for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who received the most rewards and the best treatment, the first was the emperor's younger brother, and there was no second. But everyone knows that whoever is a soldier under Chu Mofeng, every time there is a big battle, he must charge ahead, where the battle is fierce, Chu Mofeng's figure will appear, all since the day of the Tang Dynasty, Chu Mofeng has led countless large and small battles, and the Tiance Army under his command has undergone two reorganizations, which shows the tragic casualties.

But despite this, it was still impossible to stop the Tang Dynasty soldiers from wanting to enter his command, and when Chu Mofeng disbanded the Tiance Army for the first time, many people expressed regret, and some people even prepared to jointly write a letter asking the then emperor Li Yuan to take back his order.

On the morning of the second day, the military department asked Li Shimin for instructions on the ownership intention of the existing Tiance army, and the generals originally thought that Li Shimin would hand over the matter to Chu Mofeng with full authority, and at that time, with the relationship between the robes and Ze for many years, the generals could more or less allocate one or two, who knew that Li Shimin announced in court that the existing Tiance army number would remain unchanged and continue to garrison the Yiwu area. Later, Li Shimin announced in front of everyone that in order to cope with the future all-out war with the Turks, the 10,000 soldiers recruited by the Ministry of War this time would form a brand new unit, with Chu Mofeng as the commander and a man named Xue Yun as the deputy commander.

Hearing the word Xue Yun, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised, this person was not obvious before, and he had never appeared in front of everyone, this time he was appointed as Chu Mofeng's deputy, which inevitably made people guess which prince of the mansion this was.

At Li Shimin's suggestion, as Wang De shouted at the throat of the male duck, a young man of double ten years walked in outside the door, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like meteors, a tiger body and ape arms, a belly and a wolf's waist, wearing a plain military uniform, and slowly walked towards Li Shimin.

Standing in the crowd, the right Wuhou general Wei Chi Jingde saw this person, and immediately reached out and touched Cheng Yanjin on the side, "I know this person, and it was this kid who attacked the Xuanwu Gate with Feng Li, the general of the Yiwei chariot cavalry." ”

Cheng Yanjin heard Wei Chi Jingde say this, and remembered that in order to complete the task that day, many soldiers under his command died outside the Xuanwu Gate, and immediately became angry, and was about to flash out to speak, but was stopped by Wei Chi Jingde on the side, "What are you going to do, Lao Cheng?" Since Your Majesty and King Xian are ready to use this person, it means that this person should have a certain background, and you go out to talk at this time, isn't it to displease Your Majesty?"

I saw Xue Yun come to the bottom of the steps of the main hall, knelt down in front of Li Shimin and said, "Xue Yun, the deputy protector of the Chenyuan East Palace, see Your Majesty." ”

As soon as the sentence "the original East Palace" came out, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and suddenly there were many discussions in the hall, as the saying goes, knowing the face and not knowing the heart, since the imperial court wants to form a new army, why would such an important position be handed over to a person from the original East Palace, although there is a virtuous king in town, but everyone knows that the whole Tang Dynasty mentioned the four words of the day, the first is His Majesty, and the second is the emperor's brother.

These two were previously the King of Qin and the King of Xian, on the southern and northern wars to expand the territory, and then make great efforts to benefit the people, at this time the two have been one of the nine five, the other is also one person under the ten thousand people, it is said that since His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the amount of lamps and candles in the imperial study is much more than in previous years; 。

Thinking of this, Cheng Biting Jin took advantage of Wei Chi Jingde's inattention, and flashed out and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for this new team to use an old person from the East Palace, right?" Lao Cheng thought that it was best to choose an assistant from among our old subordinates, His Royal Highness, and ask Your Majesty to consider it. ”

Wei Chi Jingde on the side found that Cheng Biting Jin had already flashed out to speak, and immediately stomped his feet in annoyance, thinking that you Cheng Biting Jin just can't suppress your temperament, look at it, Your Majesty will definitely refute you with some rhetoric. When Wei Chi Jingde was annoyed, he only heard Li Shimin say with a smile: "Cheng Aiqing is also concerned about the imperial court, I am very pleased, I can see from General Cheng alone, our civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty all support the imperial court, but this person was recommended to me by the emperor's brother, and you should ask the emperor's brother to answer your questions and solve your doubts about the specific situation." ”

Seeing that Li Shimin kicked the ball to himself, Chu Mofeng thought to himself, your uncle, let me explain the good things, can this kind of undercover thing be explained casually? General Cheng, please get up first, this king knows that you must have some doubts in your hearts, why a former deputy protector of the East Palace can get the favor of His Majesty and this king, it is not a secret, this General Xue was originally installed in the East Palace by this king, and he is the king's henchman, as for the rest because the matter is confidential, please speculate on your own. ”

I see, I didn't expect to underestimate these two at the beginning, I thought that one was submissive, the other was rampage, but I didn't expect this person to pave the way for the then King of Qin early, and those spies planted in the East Palace and Wude Hall at that time, maybe the other party already knew, but it was just a plan to capture the old people, or not, if the two kings could listen to my words at that time, maybe it would be a different situation now, who would have thought that the two of them would have been more than enough to succeed. Since the new emperor did not embarrass me because of what happened before, but Corporal Lixian, then the old man's life is in his hands, and he must do things seriously for him in this life.

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, the rest of the people just admired Chu Mofeng's strategic and calculating, only Wei Zheng was very emotional, defeated in the hands of these two people, and really felt that he was not wronged, thinking of this, Wei Zheng flashed out of the queue and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, since this person is recommended by His Royal Highness King Xian, and he is an old man, the minister thinks that this person can be of great use." ”

Seeing Wei Zheng come out to speak, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking that this old boy was going to stop him again, who knew that after Wei Zheng finished speaking, Chu Mofeng also heard the clouds in the fog, how could he speak for himself, thinking of this, Chu Mofeng bowed slightly to Wei Zheng to show his gratitude.

Seeing this, Li Shimin shouted hello, and then got up and said loudly: "Spread my will, from now on, the new soldiers will go to the original Tiance Army camp for training, and after the training is completed, I will give the Longcheng Army as a reward, and the military salary and benefits will be distributed in accordance with the practice of the original Tiance Army." ”

When everyone heard this, they shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Chu Mofeng called Xue Yun and whispered: "Go to my mansion first and wait, there is something for you to do tonight, remember that you don't have to climb over the wall like before, just go to the main gate." Xue Yun nodded when he heard this, and then left the Taiji Hall directly.

And when Chu Mofeng was about to leave, he saw Wang De hurriedly come over, first looked around, and then whispered to Chu Mofeng: "Your Majesty ordered, please ask the imperial brother to go to the imperial study for a while." Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, and followed Wang De to the imperial study, it seemed that there was really no need to pass it on, and when he walked to the door of the imperial study, Wang Dexin pushed the door open, and after Chu Mofeng entered, he slowly closed the door.

Seeing Chu Mofeng coming, Li Shimin instantly put down the emperor's figure, threw him a piece of paper and hurriedly said: "Front-line battle report, this time the Turkic Jieli Khan and the Turki Khan are leading a million-strong army to prepare to go south to knock on the pass, at this time, although we have sufficient soldiers, it is still not suitable to go to war, what do you mean?"

"Actually, it's not that you can't fight, but once a large-scale war starts, the first to suffer must be the people, and you have only succeeded to the throne for a short time, if you start a war at this time, whether you win or lose, it will have an impact on your rule, and then someone will make a big fuss about it, whether it is tracked down or not, it will also ruin your reputation. Chu Mofeng looked at the battle report in his hand, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Then do you mean that you don't approve of beating?" After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked: "If you don't fight, can you have peace talks?"

Chu Mofeng didn't answer Li Shimin's words, but walked straight to the bookshelf, groped in the back, and then his eyes lit up, and he took out two porcelain vases and said to Li Shimin: "I remember that I moved all the private collections here to Taihe Palace before, why do you still have them here." Then he handed one to Li Shimin and took a sip of it.

Li Shimin took the porcelain vase and did not open it, but said anxiously: "I said His Royal Highness Xianwang, do you still have the heart to drink at this time? ”

Putting the porcelain vase on top of the bookcase, Chu Mofeng sneered and said: "What I mean by not fighting is not to start an all-out war, but since we said that we would recuperate for the time being, then peace talks also need to have capital, and we must fight locally, and when we are ready to fight, I will give the Turks a big gift, so that they will never forget it in their lives." ”

After chewing Chu Mofeng's words carefully, Li Shimin immediately understood the truth, and then sneered and said: "You are right, it hurts them, we will have confidence during the negotiation, I know what to do, don't go back to the house tonight for the time being, and wait until the end of the afternoon dynasty to discuss the specific matters." ”

Who knew that as soon as the voice fell, Chu Mofeng immediately arched his hand at Li Shimin and said: "My Majesty, just spare me, you have so many ministers, if you don't exercise and train them at this time, if I die one day, won't your dynasty be able to turn around? Besides, I haven't been back to my house for a long time, and I have to go back today anyway." ”

At this moment, Li Shimin remembered that since he succeeded to the throne, all the major and minor affairs in the DPRK and China have been discussed and planned by himself and Chu Mofeng, and it seems that it is really as he said, it is indeed a long time since he returned home, thinking of this, Li Shimin said with a little apology: "Nacheng, I summoned the ministers to discuss this matter at noon today, and you should go back to the house to take a look." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, and then walked straight to the door, and when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly turned his head and said: "If you send generals to fight, it is better to give priority to Jingde, as for the negotiation, I will go back to the house and think about it again, and we will discuss it again after the end of tomorrow morning." ”

On the 24th of August, the Turkic army marched south to invade Gaoling County, and Li Shimin appointed Wei Chi Jingde as the head of the Jingzhou Road march, and led his troops to the front line to prepare to meet the enemy.

On the 26th of Xinsi, Chi Jingde, the commander of the Jingzhou Road march, fought with the Turks in Jingyang, and after a battle, he broke the Turks and captured the Turks' Qi Jin Ashdewu Wuwu, and beheaded more than 1,000 people in this battle. After the news was transmitted back to Datang, the government and the opposition were excited.

On the 28th, Jieli Khan led his troops to the north bank of the Weishui Bridge, and then sent his cronies to meet Li Shimin in Beijing and Jin, so as to observe the situation in the Tang Dynasty.

The court was obsessed with his strength and arrogantly preached in an arrogant tone, "Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, who led an army of millions, have now arrived." When the ministers present heard this, they couldn't help but show a look of worry, and they were extremely proud when they saw this scene, and just as they were about to continue to open their mouths to threaten, they heard a cold voice from the side say, "What is this called dead?" ”

"It's called stubbornness, it's not something dead, this is for the lord, please speak with more respect, in the next is an envoy of a country, is this how the Tang Dynasty treats the envoys? If so, I will go back to the great Khan, and immediately lead my Turkic two million iron horsemen to come, so that my Turkic men can also see the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing that this person is dressed ordinarily, it seems that he is also a petty official who does not enter the stream, see that I am not scared and frightened by the emperor, let him punish you to relieve the hatred in my heart.

Thinking of this, he said loudly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty Tang Guo, I hope you can ask this lord to apologize to me, otherwise I will definitely go back and tell the great khan about today's events, and ask him to seek justice for me." After speaking, he lost his strength and glanced at this person defiantly.

Hearing the words of the stubborn and thoughtless people, Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at this person, signaling that this person's matter was caused by you, and you should deal with it yourself, and then secretly laughed in his heart, this Turkic idiot, don't ask who is talking first, do you still think that this is the big tent of your royal court? You can say whatever you want.

I saw this person nodding at Li Shimin, and then looked at Zhi Zhi Sili and said with a smile: "What kind of envoy is this, I know that you are called Zhi Zhi Sili, but you may not know who I am, since you said that you want to show your so-called Khan, then please tell him, just say that in Xia Chu Mofeng led 11,200 Tiance troops to wait outside Chang'an City, if you don't come at that time, you will go back to where you came from." ”

As soon as he heard the words 'Chu Mofeng', he seemed to remember something, and then turned his head and asked Li Shimin, "Your Majesty Tang Kingdom, how many people in your country are named Chu Mofeng?"

As soon as Li Shimin heard Zhi Zhili ask this, he knew that this person must have thought of something frightening, and immediately said aloud: "Messenger, don't panic, standing in front of you is the commander of my Tang Tiance Army, my younger brother Xianwang Chu Mofeng. ”

Li Shimin said lightly here, and he immediately knelt on the ground in fright and said: "I don't know if the God of War is present, I hope you don't care about it." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, and then said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, just now this person is making a lot of nonsense in the court, the minister can't bear it, you just need to give an order, the minister will kill this person on the spot, and then we will do our best to fight with them, and the minister will take the lead in clearing up such treacherous people for Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to decide." ”

As soon as Chu Mofeng's voice fell, Li Shimin immediately understood, and then scolded him with a blank face: "I agreed with your khan to make peace in person, and I gave you more gold and silver cloth before and after than I can count. Your Khan reneged on his covenant and led his troops and horses deep into the Tang Realm, and I think that I have no place to be sorry for you! Although you are from the Rongdi tribe, but people's hearts are flesh and blood, how can you completely forget the great favor you have received and boast of your strength and strength! Since the virtuous king proposed, I will kill you today."

After saying this, he was obsessed with losing his thinking and shivering in a cold sweat, and immediately begged for mercy, Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi also asked to send him back according to etiquette.

Seeing this, Li Shimin first praised Xiao Yu and Feng Deyi, praised the two for their dedication to the country, and then said angrily: "If I let him go back now, the Turks think that we are afraid of them, and then they will have no fear." ”

Immediately, Li Shimin ordered that Zhi Sili be imprisoned in Menxia Province, and then exiled him in the future according to the situation.

Seeing this, the generals present came out to ask for battle, but they were rejected by Li Shimin one by one, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Chu Mofeng gathered all the generals together, and after a whisper, everyone left quickly.

Later, Li Shimin, accompanied by Chu Mofeng, Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, and others, rode straight to the edge of Weishui, looking at the turbulent Weishui, Li Shimin immediately shouted loudly: "Is that treacherous Jieli here?

The Turks were greatly surprised to see Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng coming, and jumped off their horses one after another to bow to the two. At this time, the armies of the Tang Dynasty arrived one after another, and the banners and armor covered the field.

Jieli Khan in the Turkic army formation saw that he had lost his strength and did not come back, but Li Shimin stepped forward, his eyes glanced at the thin figure beside Li Shimin, the word god of war appeared in his mind, and saw that the lineup of the Tang army was very grand, and a look of fear also appeared on his face.

Li Shimin commanded the armies to withdraw from some places to form an array, and he was still left alone to talk to Jieli Khan, and Xiao Yu thought that Li Shimin was underestimating the enemy, so he restrained his mount and repeatedly dissuaded him.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was concerned about his own safety, Li Shimin couldn't help but be very moved, and then said in a firm tone: "I have already planned carefully, and the reason why the Turks dare to come with all the strength of the whole country is because we have just taken the throne and think that our army cannot resist and defend against them. If the city gates were closed at this time to defend and resist, the Turks would inevitably indulge their troops and horses in large-scale raids, making it difficult for us to contain them. The Turks have penetrated deep into our borders, and they must be wary. Therefore, if our army engages them in battle, it will be victorious, and if we make peace with them, we will be able to strengthen it. I and King Xian have been planning this for a long time, and you are optimistic about it. ”

At this time, Chu Mofeng held the Burning Sky Resistance on his shoulder with one hand, and with the other hand, he plucked his ears and said to Jieli Khan with some impatience: "On the other side, if you don't fight or not, what are you called the dead one who said that you have two million iron horsemen, and there are not many people under the command of this king, about 15,000 people, do you dare to fight a battle and give it a try?" Then Chu Mofeng shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Sons, put up our big banner and ask the people on the other side if they remember." ”

Suddenly, a flag of extermination was erected in the army, and the bright red flag of extermination revealed boundless killing intent under the reflection of the August sun, and the Turkic soldiers on the opposite side saw the flag of extermination, and they invariably took a step back, at this time Chu Mofeng shouted: " Jieli Khan, I have taken a lot of things from us over the years, we must be honest, this time your Turkic army is exhausted, if I drag you here at this time, send a team of men and horses to sneak into your Turkic territory to plunder, the grass is fat and windy in August, I really want to see the scene of the sparks burning the plains, absolutely spectacular, I don't know what Jieli Khan wants?"

Listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Jieli Khan's heart suddenly sighed, this time the Turks really did as he said, the army was exhausted, and the people who stayed in the territory were all old and weak women and children, and August was a good time for grazing, if the other party sent people to sneak in and burn and kill, then he would definitely suffer heavy losses, thinking of this Jieli Khan hurriedly ordered the army to retreat.

Immediately, Jie Khan Khan came to ask for peace, and got Li Shimin's permission, and after the two discussed, Li Shimin returned to the palace on the same day.

On the 30th of the Yiyou day, Li Shimin went to the west of the city to slaughter the white horse and shed blood, and then made an alliance with Jieli Khan at the bridge, and then the Turks led the troops and horses to retreat.

A war that was ready to start was thus resolved by Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng, and Datang took this opportunity to fight for the hard-won respite......

As the saying goes, one minute on the stage, ten years of work off the stage, and watch Chu Mofeng temper the recruits, Li Shimin gave the name Longcheng, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
