Orthodoxy is sometimes useless, but sometimes it is very useful. For example, Li Mi, although the Wagang dog is so powerful that the rebels call him "big brother", the common people think that the Wagang dog is a bandit.
Acknowledge that they are rebels.
What's more, the local aristocratic families looked down upon Li Mi. In the eyes of the wealthy families, Li Mi was just a piece of shit, just used to make people laugh.
But if Li Mi surrenders to Emperor Huangtai, his status can be quickly transformed into an important official of the imperial court. Then, he can learn from Lao Li and do what the rebel leaders of all generations like to do most, which is to abdicate.
Don't underestimate this program, which looks like a joke. People will just accept it.
If Lao Li directly killed Yang You and ascended the throne, it would be tantamount to announcing that he had no relationship with the Sui Dynasty, and it would be tantamount to handing over orthodoxy to Luoyang.
Without orthodoxy, there would be no ‘since ancient times’.
Li Yuan heard this and asked: "If Wang Shichong and Li Mi fight, can we take the opportunity to attack Luoyang?"
"No." The one who spoke was Wang Gui, the prince's minister. "Right now, our dynasty is at war with the Western Qin Dynasty, and our troops are divided into three. One is guarding Taiyuan, the second is marching into Longxi, and the third is Bashu. If we march eastward at this time,
In Tongguan, there are two ways to win or lose."
Li Yuan said: "Why not? We can wait until Wang Shichong and Li Mi are both injured, and then raise troops to attack Luoyang. By then, neither Wang Shichong nor Li Mi will be able to stop our army."
Li Jiancheng raised his hand to stop the two from talking.
"The crisis in the Western Qin Dynasty is a top priority. It is impossible to raise troops at this time. The land of Longxing in Taiyuan cannot be lost. The granary of Bashu is related to the foundation of the imperial court and cannot be given up. To attack Luoyang, we still need to wait for the opportunity."
Although they all knew that there was a good chance of attacking Luoyang at this time, it was not the right time before Guanzhong was leveled. In this matter, Li Jiancheng was still able to prioritize clearly.
Li Jiancheng said to Li Yuan: "I have asked my father for orders to recommend you to pacify the states in Shannan Dao. You must cooperate with the King of Chu when you go."
It has to be said that Lao Li has nothing to say to the children of the Li family. As long as they have some ability, they will basically be given the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
"Prince, don't worry, I will definitely do it."
At this time, Wei Ting said: "Your Highness, I have something that I don't understand."
"What's the matter?"
"The King of Chu also knows the military formation, why don't you recommend him to annihilate Xue Ju?" This is something Wei Ting cannot understand. Li Yuanji can fight, but his brain is not as good as the King of Chu. Wei Ting believes that the prince can understand this.
Li Jiancheng pondered: "Although Zhiyun has some strategies, he is still young after all and still needs to grow up."
In fact, he himself didn't know why Liu Wenjing recommended Yuan Ji.
Li Gang glanced at Wei Ting and said calmly: "The sage is arbitrary, so there is no need to create complications in this matter."
Hearing this, Wei Ting smiled and remained silent.
When he went to Bashu to expand his territory, Li Zhiyun's 20,000 direct troops had to escape from Li Shentong's mouth, which made Li Shentong quite regretful. However, he was not shameless enough to deny it, but when bidding farewell to Li Zhiyun, he said:
There was a saying in it, 'We can go to Xiangzhou without any troops'.
Li Zhiyun sneered, you're such a fool, even if I give you 100,000 people, you can't beat Dou Jiande.
The biggest bastard in the clan is none other than Li Shentong. He lost against Dou Jiande, lost against Liu Heitai, and lost against Xu Yuanlang. If Li Shimin hadn't been there to back him up, Li Shentong would have still lost.
Of course, this was a few years later. Now Lao Li still has great trust in his cousins, clan brothers, Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, Li Xiaoji, Li Shuliang and others. As everyone knows, several of his younger brothers
It is a scrap product.
After regaining military power, Li Zhiyun immediately appointed Xie Shufang and Duan Zhixuan as the commanders of the left and right armies, Du Ruhui as the marching commander, Xue Shou as the recorder to join the army, and Xue Yuanjing as the recorder of merit.
Now, he is also the king who founded a government office and has the power to appoint officials below the fourth rank. However, this power requires Lao Li's nod, and is completely incomparable with Li Shimin's later General Tiance.
However, people must learn to be content.
A few days before leaving, Li Yuanji was going to go with Li Shimin to conquer Xue Ju, so he came to Li Zhiyun for a meal.
Although it was a meal, the two of them spent most of the time drinking. Then Li Yuanji started to complain about certain people, but he didn't say it explicitly, so Li Zhiyun naturally wouldn't ask directly.
On the day of the expedition, Lao Li personally saw him off.
Li Zhiyun was in the crowd and paid special attention to Liu Wenjing. This man's face looked very bad, not because of the heat, but because he was angry.
Prince Li Jiancheng tried to comfort him, and Liu Wenjing's expression improved slightly.
As the war drums beat, Li Shimin took the lead, leading eight marching commanders, and tens of thousands of troops slowly left Chang'an City.
Li Zhiyun didn't notice this scene of people lining the streets to see each other off at all. He did see a lot of crying women and children.
The Guan area has not been peaceful in recent years. At that time, Yang Guang wanted to kill the Guanlong nobles, so he used his crooked ideas, conquered Goguryeo three times, and sent a large number of Guanlong descendants to die in Liaodong. In the eyes of the people in the Guan area, fighting was equal to death.
This is true whether you are fighting for Yang Guang or fighting for Li Yuan.
After seeing off Li Shimin, Li Yuan did not stop and returned directly to the palace. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Lao Li's nostalgia for the harem became deeper and deeper.
Li Zhiyun remembered that his mother-in-law, Concubine Wan Guifei, said that a woman in the palace was pregnant.
After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he posthumously named his wife, Dou, Queen Taimu. King Chu's biological mother, Wan, was named a noble concubine and took charge of matters in the Sixth Palace.
Thinking about it, he will have a few more brothers and sisters soon.
Just as I was thinking about things, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
Looking back, I found that it was Yang Shigui.
"Shilang Yang."
Yang Shigui asked with a smile: "Tomorrow is a festive day, can you please come and have a chat with His Highness?"
festival?
Li Zhiyun was wondering what holiday tomorrow was, and Xie Shufang reminded him that it was the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day?
Thinking of Yang Shigui's identity, Li Zhiyun probably knew it well.
"That's good. I will go to Bashu in a while, so I should come and talk to the minister."
After Li Zhiyun agreed, Yang Shigui quickly made an appointment and said he would prepare drinks.
After sending Li Zhiyun away, Yang Shigui sighed silently. In fact, he knew that doing so was a bit embarrassing, but he had no choice.
The former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said that he was from the Hongnong Yang family, and then the Hongnong Yang family became a clan family. But the key point is that the young boss Yang Jian has nothing to do with the Hongnong Yang family. That's fine, but it is even more speechless.
later.
Two generations of bosses, Yang Jian and Yang Guang, kicked the Guanlong nobles and punched the Shandong nobles. The Yang family of Hongnong was the brick in their hands, specially used to hit people.
Hitting someone will inevitably result in blood splattering on the face. The two generations of heads of the Hongnong Yang family, Yang Su and Yang Xuangan, were both used as royal thugs by the two bosses of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, they offended many Guanlong nobles and Shandong nobles.
Now that Boss Yang is finished, they, the Hongnong Yang family, are burdened with the identity of the 'former clan' and the hatred they have with various clans to continue to survive. They are so miserable that they have no place to cry.
If he wants to live well, Yang Shigui can only bind himself to the Li Tang royal family.
