The book continued from the above, saying that Li Yuan regained Chu Mofeng again, and Chu Mofeng decided to go out to fight against Liu Heimin on the spot, and then Chu Mofeng followed Li Shimin back to the Qin Palace, and as soon as he arrived at the Qin Palace, he saw that the door of the mansion was wide open, and the people in the entire mansion were busy sorting out things.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng said jokingly: "Yo, you just went out to the court for a while, and the house is going to break up?"

"Roll on, your government is going to break up. Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Shimin was also very surprised, and hurriedly walked into the mansion and dragged a subordinate and asked, "What are you doing?" Are there any rules going back and forth?"

I saw this subordinate salute Li Shimin and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, there is a will in the palace to let the palace move to live in the Chengqian Palace, you should ask Her Royal Highness the princess for the specific situation." ”

Li Shimin nodded, took Chu Mofeng and continued to walk inside, and when he walked to the front of the main hall, he saw that the eldest grandson of the princess of Qin, Li Chengqian, was holding Li Chengqian, the son of the prince of Qin, with the other hand, and was directing a group of subordinates to pack their belongings. ”

Chu Mofeng looked at the eldest grandson and said with a smile: "It's all a family, why should the second sister-in-law be so polite, the younger brother and the second brother came here today to discuss something, it's okay." As soon as Chu Mofeng's voice fell, Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "Why didn't I know that the mansion was going to move into the palace?"

I saw the eldest grandson Luo Luo whispered: "After the husband went to court today, someone came to the palace to pass the decree, saying that His Majesty misses Cheng Qian, and when he named him, he came from the Chengqian Palace, since he is called Cheng Qian but does not live in the Chengqian Palace, it is inevitably a little inappropriate." ”

After listening to the words of the eldest grandson, Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's it, my father is also a good intention, I have important matters to discuss with Mo Feng, you command the people in the palace to start preparations." After speaking, he pulled Chu Mofeng and walked towards the study in the mansion.

"As far as I know, Li Yuanji's goods live in the backyard of the Wude Palace, and there is a connection with the East Palace and the stage, so ah, after entering the palace, you should be careful, and find a way to go out of the palace to discuss anything, after all, there are many people in the palace. As soon as he entered the door, Chu Mofeng slowly expressed his worries, then sat down on the chair next to him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I said His Royal Highness King Qin, settle the bill." ”

Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled helplessly, walked to a bookshelf in the study, stretched out his hand and groped in it for a while, and when he turned around, there was an extra wooden box in his hand, and after throwing the box to Chu Mofeng, Li Shimin said slowly: "Five thousand taels of gold gave you three thousand taels last time, and here are two thousand taels, you can collect them yourself." ”

Throwing the box aside, Chu Mofeng stood up and said to Li Shimin: "This time to go to Liu Heimin, according to the dirty ideas of those people, Your Majesty will definitely not allow you to go on the first expedition, so you must give me the names of a few personnel now, and I can report it tomorrow." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he said excitedly: "Why don't you let me go out first? Are these people really willing to crush me to death?"

"No way, this is the royal family, do you think it is now? Or is it when Your Majesty is the king of Tang? Wake up, the way of the world has long changed, now under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, you are the prince, the prince with outstanding achievements, understand?" Seeing that Li Shimin still looked like he was not deeply involved in the world, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but after thinking about it, maybe it was his mentality that made so many people willing to follow him.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng sighed and said: "If the two people you gave can pacify Liu Heimin in one fell swoop, it also means that you know people meritorious, if you are not good to go out of the army, then you will write a book to recommend yourself to lead the army to the battle, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

At this moment, Li Shimin understood Chu Mofeng's true intentions, turned around and walked to the bookshelf, took out a thick list from it, handed it to Chu Mofeng and said: "This is the list of generals who have befriended me so far, you can take a look at how many people you choose." ”

After taking the list, Chu Mofeng did not rush to open it, but raised his eyes and glanced at Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "What about the secret list? Don't tell me that there is no." ”

"I know that I can't hide it from you, and if you want to see it now, I'll give it to you. After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to go to get another list, only to see Chu Mofeng stop him, and then whispered: "Forget it, I won't look at the people on your list, I'll give you a list in a while, don't deliberately make friends with the people in it until the critical moment, most of these people are not in important positions, but they can give us a lot of help at critical times." ”

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin looked at Chu Mofeng with a look of surprise and said, "When did you start arranging?"

"When His Majesty first ascended the throne in the first year of Wude. I saw Chu Mofeng say expressionlessly: "These days, I will start to form an organization to collect intelligence, this matter has been in my mind, and I have not yet finally formed a plan." ”

Li Shimin on the side nodded silently, while Chu Mofeng slowly unfolded the list in his hand, carefully browsed them one by one, and then pointed out a few names and began to discuss with Li Shimin.

August Ding You day (12th), Liu Heimin personally led the army to capture Yu County, after learning the news of Beizhou Assassin Dai Yuanxiang, Weizhou Assassin Shi authority immediately led the state soldiers to conquest, but both were not Liu Heimin's opponents, and the rebel army attacked with hatred, and finally came to the army to conquer was defeated by Liu Heimin, and Dai Yuanxiang, the authority of the two were also killed in the battle, after this battle, more than 1,000 Tang troops joined the rebel army after being captured.

Seeing that Liu Heimin was gradually gaining momentum, Fan Yuan, Gao Yaxian and other Dou Jiande's old subordinates all thought that great things could be accomplished, and immediately rushed to join them one after another, so Liu Heimin's team quickly grew to 2,000 people.

Ding Weiri (22nd) Liu Heimin captured Liting County, the Tunwei general Wang Xingmin was captured, all the defenders of Liting County were killed, and the county seat was looted.

In the lobby, Liu Heimin asked Wang Xingmin to salute Liu Heimin according to the courtesy of meeting the emperor, Wang Xingmin scolded on the spot for not bowing, and Liu Heimin threatened Wang Xingmin to kill him. Who knew that Wang Xingmin did not show fear on his face, but said coldly to Liu Heimin: "It doesn't matter if you kill me, my life is originally our grandfather's, but you remember, from today onwards, in addition to welcoming the anger of your grandfather, you must also be careful, don't be killed in your sleep." ”

Listening to Wang Xingmin's words, Liu Heimin was furious, and ordered someone to drag Wang Xingmin out and behead the public, and soon after the news reached the Tang Dynasty, there was a sudden news on the rivers and lakes that the other side of the flower Yasha opened a reward of up to 200,000 yuan, and the person who was rewarded was Liu Heimin.

Liu Heimin, who learned the news, was dismissive of this, and some of his subordinates, who had previously worked in Datang, had the idea of returning to Datang.

Since Liu Heimin's reward order came out, all sects in the rivers and lakes have paid attention to the movements of Chang'an, and in view of the weight of the word 'Yaksha' in the rivers and lakes, many outlaws have packed their bags and walked towards Liu Heimin's final foothold --- Liting County.

On the 26th of Xinhai (26th), Xu Yuanlang, the former governor of Yanzhou of the Tang Dynasty and the hereditary Duke of Lu County, captured the coming Ge Gong Shengyan in Rencheng, and then announced a rebellion. Subsequently, Liu Heimin appointed Xu Yuanlang as the marshal of Daxingtai, and the heroes of Yan, Yun, Chen, Qi, Yi, Luo, Cao, and Dai all responded to Xu Yuanlang.

In view of the fact that the two were once colleagues, Xu Yuanlang treated Sheng Yanshi with courtesy, and his only request was for Sheng Yanshi to write a letter to his younger brother, ordering him to surrender with the entire Yucheng.

However, Master Sheng Yan wrote in the letter: "I was ordered to send an envoy who was incompetent, was captured by thieves, was disloyal as a courtier, and swore to die. ”

Seeing that Master Sheng Yanshi refused to cooperate, Xu Yuanlang's face changed at first, but he saw that Master Sheng Yan's expression was free, and then Xu Yuanlang said with a smile: "General Sheng is very bold and upright, and he can't be killed." Immediately, Xu Yuanlang ordered someone to escort Sheng Yanshi down to entertain him.

On the second day of September (the first day of the new year), Wendeng thief Shuai Chun asked for surrender, and Datang received the news and gladly accepted it, and then set up Dengzhou and appointed Chun Yunan as the assassin of Dengzhou.

According to the results of the discussion with Li Shimin, Chu Mofeng first wrote a letter requesting that Li Shimin personally lead the army to Liu Heimin, but Li Jiancheng prevaricated on the grounds that the army should rest and recuperate. However, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng had already expected this situation.

Subsequently, Chu Mofeng appointed Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Luo Yiqin, the king of Yan, to lead an army of 50,000 to go out, and ordered to recruit more than 50,000 soldiers from Xing, Xiang, Wei, Heng, Zhao and other states along the way to jointly conquer Liu Heimin.

Huai'an King Li Shentong led the Guannei soldiers to Jizhou, and Li Yi's army to join the division, and then the two of them agreed to meet Liu Heimin in the south of Raoyang City, the Tang Dynasty soldiers lined up for more than ten miles, Liu Heimin's people were few, and they only lined up in a single line along the river embankment to resist the Tang army.

When the sky was snowing heavily, Li Shentong wanted to take advantage of the tailwind to increase the offensive, but as soon as the offensive of the whole army was launched, the wind direction suddenly reversed, and Li Shentong's army fought against the wind, and the heavy snow could not help but block everyone's sight, and the strong wind that crossed from time to time also made it more and more difficult for everyone to move forward.

Seeing this, Liu Heimin hurriedly took advantage of the tailwind to rush up, and Li Shentong was defeated in an instant, and nearly two-thirds of the materials he carried were lost. On the other side, Li Yi, who was facing Gao Yaxian, had already led a large army to defeat Gao Yaxian's troops at this moment, and learned that Li Shentong's attack had failed during the pursuit, so he ordered to retreat to Gaocheng.

At this time, Liu Heimin, together with Gao Yaxian, went to Gaocheng to attack Li Yi, and Li Yi was also defeated after a long attack, and his generals Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche brothers were all captured by Liu Heimin and had their hair cut for drive. After Xue Wanjun's brothers fled back, Li Yi led his troops back to Youzhou, and Liu Heimin's army was greatly boosted.

And in October, because of the outstanding achievements of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the officials of the previous dynasty could not be commensurate with him, so he specially set up a general of Tiance, who was above the king and the duke.

Subsequently, Li Yuan issued an edict to appoint Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the general of Tiance, and led Situ and Shaanxi Ledao to Daxing Taishangshu Order, and the number of food towns increased to 20,000.

Thinking of the gradual pacification of the country, Li Shimin set up a museum on the west side of the Chengqian Palace, received learned people from all over the world, issued a prince's decree to appoint Du Ruhui, a subordinate of the Qin Palace, Xuanling and Yu Shinan, Chu Liang and Yao Silian, the main Bo Li Xuandao, and Cai Yungong, Xue Yuanjing, and Yan Xiangshi joined the army. Kong Yingda, Gai Wenda, a native of Xindu, and Cao Xu Jingzong, the governor of Songzhou, all serve as bachelors of the Literature Museum with their official positions, and are on duty in three shifts every day, providing delicacies and delicacies, and the courtesy and grace are extraordinarily generous.

On the one hand, Chu Mofeng, who had nothing to do, paid attention to the war ahead, and on the other hand, he went to Tiance Mansion from time to time to reorganize the Tiance Army for Li Shimin, and Li Shimin also took this opportunity to write to Li Yuan and transfer back all the old departments that had been left in Changchun Palace.

Despite this, the war ahead will not stop because of the opening of the Tiance Mansion, on the contrary, it will become more and more intense.

On the day of Gengyin (the sixth day of the first month), Liu Heimin led the army to capture Yingzhou, killed Lu Shirui, the assassin of Yingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, slaughtered Yingzhou City, and then went to the direction of Guanzhou with murderous spirit, and in the city of Guanzhou, which is not far from Yingzhou, the people of Guanzhou were afraid that Liu Heimin would slaughter after breaking the city, so they discussed and then caught the assassin Shi Lei Debei, and surrendered to Liu Heimin.

On the 13th of Ding Youri (13th), Dong Dengming, a common man in Maozhou, and others could not bear the brutal rule of Zhao Yuankai, so they killed Zhao Yuankai and announced that they would raise troops in response to Liu Heimin.

On the 19th of November, Liu Heimin's army continued to advance, and then captured Dingzhou and captured Li Xuantong, the governor of Dingzhou. Liu Heimin cherished his talent and wanted to appoint him as a general, but Li Xuantong refused to obey, and most of Li Xuantong's subordinates took refuge in Liu Heimin.

In the prison, the original subordinates gave him wine and meat, Li Xuantong smiled and said: "You pity me for being imprisoned, but fortunately I am enlightened and comforted with wine and meat, and I want to get drunk for you." ”

As everyone knows, at this time, Li Xuantong knew that there was no hope of getting out of trouble, and he had already repaid his will to die, and when everyone was drunk, Li Xuantong said to the guard: "I can dance the sword, I hope to lend me the sword." ”

The guard did not suspect that there was fraud and gave him the knife, and Li Xuantong sighed after the dance: "As a husband, I am favored by the country, and I am guarding one side, and I can't keep the territory I guard, so what face do I have to live in the world!"

At this time, the old subordinates heard the meaning of the words, and stepped forward to snatch the knife, but Li Shentong recovered from the full strength of the wine and food, so he raised the knife and died by disembowelment. After the news was transmitted back to the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan cried in front of the court, and ordered Chu Mofeng to set up a mound for Li Shentong in the Valhalla, and in order to appease his family, he ordered Li Shentong's son Li Fuhu to be the general.

On the day of Gengxu (27th), Zhou Wenju, a native of Qizhou, designed to kill Wang Wenju, the assassin of Qizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and responded to Xu Yuanlang with the city.

However, at this time, there was a great famine in Youzhou, Li Yi wrote a letter to Gao Kaidao to ask for relief from the hungry, Gao Kaidao replied, after learning the news, Li Yi asked the old people and children in the city to go to Gao Kaidao to ask for food, and Gao Kaidao gave him generous treatment.

Seeing this scene, Li Yi was overjoyed, so he asked 3,000 people, with hundreds of cars, and more than 1,000 donkeys and horses to receive grain outside Gao Kaidao.

Gao Kaidao contacted the Turks in the north, and colluded with Liu Heimin in the south to lead his troops to attack Yizhou, but he did not conquer it due to the lack of troops under his command, so he plundered and left.

When the plan failed, Gao Kaidao had another plan, and sent the general Xie Ling to surrender to Li Yi, asking Li Yi to send troops to rescue, Li Yi sent troops to meet Xie Ling, and when it was almost Huairong, Xie Ling attacked and defeated Li Yi.

Later, Gao Kaidao invaded with the Turkic coalition several times, Heng, Ding, You, and Yi states were all harmed by him, Chu Mofeng, who learned the news, personally sent a letter to Gao Kaidao, saying that if it was just internal worries, he could also spare Gao Kaidao's life, but Gao Kaidao actually colluded with foreign enemies, and at this time, his name had been written on the must-kill list of the other side flower.

On the second day of December (the third day of the first lunar month), Liu Heimin once again captured Jizhou and killed Shi Lu Ling in Jizhou, the Tang Dynasty. During this period, Liu Heimin personally sent letters to Zhao and Wei, and Dou Jiande's old troops raised troops to kill Tang Dynasty officials in response to Liu Heimin.

On Gengshen Day (the eighth day of the first month), the Tang Dynasty sent Li Xiaochang, the general of the Right Tun Guard, to lead troops to attack Liu Heimin. Unexpectedly, Liu Heimin led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into Zongcheng, and Li Shixian, the governor of Tang Lizhou, was stationed in Zongcheng, seeing that the thief army was too strong to resist, so he decided to abandon Zongcheng and flee to Baozhou.

On the 12th of Jiazi (12th), Liu Heimin pursued Li Shiyun and others, and the Tang army, which fled in a hurry, had no intention of resisting at all, and was killed 5,000 soldiers, only Li Shiyun escaped alone.

On the 14th of Bingyin, the local heroes of Zhaozhou rebelled in the city in response to Liu Heimin. Liu Heimin paid tribute to Heaven and Dou Jiande in the southeast of the city of Zhaozhou, and then entered the city of Zhaozhou.

In the next ten days, Liu Heimin took advantage of the situation to attack everywhere, first led troops to capture Xiangzhou, captured the Tang Xiangzhou assassin Shi Fang Huang, and the right military guard general Zhang Shigui broke through and fled. Immediately afterwards, Liu Heimin went south to capture Li and Wei Prefectures.

Since Liu Heimin rebelled, it took less than half a year to restore all of Dou Jiande's old land. Subsequently, Liu Heimin sent envoys to the north to unite with the Turks, and Jieli Khan sent Tong Jin Song Zhena to lead the Turkic cavalry to fight with Liu Heimin.

And the situation is not right. Qin Wutong, the general of the Right Guard, Chen Junbin, the assassin of Zhaozhou, and Cheng Mingzhen, the commander of Yongning County, fled back to Chang'an from Hebei one after another.

For a while, Liu Heimin was in the limelight, and after the news was transmitted back to Chang'an, Li Yuan first became angry in the court, reprimanding Chu Mofeng for improper use of people, who knew that Chu Mofeng was mad in the hall for some reason, and roared that Li Yuan had listened to the villain's slander and rejected the original plan.

Li Yuan originally wanted to take the opportunity to beat him, but who knew that Chu Mofeng took out his waist card, took off his hat and crown and faded his court clothes, and left the Taiji Hall directly, and the entire Taiji Hall was stunned for a moment.

Looking at Chu Mofeng's departing figure, Li Yuan sat down on the dragon chair angrily, and on the morning of the second day, Li Yuan received Chu Mofeng's resignation, looking at the chiseled excerpt in front of him, people who didn't know saw it, and thought that Li Jiancheng and a group of ministers had a deep hatred with Chu Mofeng.

The military department Shangshu picked his pick, and the war ahead was urgent, Li Yuan had no choice but to pin his hopes on Li Shimin, only to hear Li Shimin say righteously: "Qiqi father, it is not that the sons do not lead the army to the battle, because the previous series of plans are formulated by the Duke of Qi, and he has always paid attention to the movements of the battlefield, if there is no assistance from him, the sons may not be able to end the war quickly." ”

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan also knew that Chu Mofeng could not be blamed for these things before, and then glanced at Li Jiancheng with resentment, and then said slowly: "This matter is my negligence, I listened to the villain's slander before, I should have sent your two brothers to quell the chaos, but what... Hey!"

Hearing Li Yuan's sigh, Li Jiancheng suddenly felt like falling into an ice cellar, trembling and standing in the main hall, while Wei Zheng behind him (Li Yuan was released after his anger was gone) walked forward and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, do you think that since His Royal Highness the King of Qin is unwilling to go on the expedition, why don't you send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince there?"

Wei Zheng's words, Li Yuan suddenly felt a little moved, just about to speak, only to see the king of Qi Li Yuanji walked out, said to Li Yuan: "Qi father emperor, the son of the minister thinks that what Lord Wei said is inappropriate, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, basically every big battle is completed by the King of Qin and the Duke of Qi Guogong, the son is fortunate to personally participate in a time, the cooperation between the two can be said to be seamless, at this time, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is allowed to go, the son is afraid that the two will be unable to cooperate and delay the fighter." ”

As soon as he saw that his fourth son also came out to speak for Chu Mofeng, Li Yuan thought to himself that this child had reconciled with his second brother? At that moment, he was overjoyed, so he said: "Since Yuan Ji also said that this matter must be cooperated with the people of the world and Mofeng, then I will not allow the resignation of the Duke of Qi, and order him to return to the court as soon as possible to discuss the matter of going on an expedition with His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and after I discuss with the ministers, I will decide what title to entitle his three daughters and one son and retire from the court." ”

On the same day, Li Yuan sent Wang De to the Mansion of the Duke of Qi to deliver the decree, but when Wang De walked into the Mansion of the Duke of Qi, he saw that the Mansion was packing up the gold and silver, as if he was going to go far away.

Seeing this, Wang De hurriedly dragged a servant to ask, and learned from the servant that after the Duke of Qi returned from the court yesterday, he ordered the servants at home to start sorting out all the things, saying that he had gone to his official post and was about to return to Zhangye to live in seclusion.

After hearing the news, Wang De hurriedly led the four small yellow doors to the inner courtyard, and when he came to the front of the main hall, he found that Chu Mofeng was holding a pot of tea in the courtyard, and when he saw Wang De coming, Chu Mofeng hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "What kind of wind blew the prince here today?"

"Grandpa Guo smiled, our family is here to deliver the decree. Hearing this, Wang De pulled the male duck's throat and smiled and said, "Grandpa Guo, hurry up and accept the order." ”

Who knew that Chu Mofeng waved his hand at Wang De and said: "Trouble the prince to go back and tell Your Majesty, just say that the grass people decided to assist His Royal Highness the King of Qin to pacify Liu Heimin, and after the rebellion is quelled, the grass people will take the mansion to live in seclusion and never return to Chang'an for the rest of their lives." ”

Seeing this, Wang De was about to step forward to dissuade him, but who knew that Chu Mofeng called Shi Hanshuang, stuffed a small burden into the hands of one of the small yellow doors, and then stretched out his hand to the door and said: "Take the things for your princess, please forgive the grass people for not sending them there." With that, he turned and walked towards the house.

Then I don't know whether I want Wang De to hear it or say to myself: "If he really has a heart, why don't he depose that stupid prince and let King Qin ascend the throne?"

Seeing Chu Mofeng leaving, Wang De sighed and left the Guogong Mansion with four small yellow gates, walking on the road Wang De said coldly: "None of you should have heard the last sentence of today, if it spreads outside, be careful of your heads." ”

The four little yellow gates knew that some of the palace should be heard and some should not be heard, so they hurriedly nodded yes, and then Wang De returned the matter to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan just smiled and didn't make a sound when he heard this.

Ding Mao (15th), Tang Gaozu ordered Li Shimin, the king of Qin, Chu Mofeng, the prince of Qi, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to lead troops to attack Liu Heimin, and the major matters should be decided by Li Shimin, the king of Qin......

As the saying goes, use the right people to do the right things, and watch Li Shimin quickly quell the rebellion, and then look at Chu Mofeng's secret layout, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
