Chapter 107: Will lose peace
"Fenyang Li Jing and Shouyang Li Jing converged in Yuci County, Yang Shanhui and Su Dingfang conquered Taigu County; Xue Wanche conquered Jiaocheng and went out of Mujing City with Pei Xingyan's troops ......"
When the battle report arrived in Taiyuan, the atmosphere in the whole city suddenly became tense.
But actuallyβ
It is not so much that the whole city is nervous, but that Pei Lin is nervous, just because as soon as the news arrived, he issued seven orders in a row, from closing the city gates, to not being allowed to enter or leave, and then to activating the whole army into a wartime state......
Pei Lian's hand was stretched out so long, because Li Shenfu, the good-tempered governor of the state, was dissatisfied with him.
Li Shenfu is the younger brother of Li Yuan, the son of heaven, he is not outstanding in the Li family, and his reputation is far inferior to that of his brother Li Shentong, but he is actually as civil and military as other disciples of Guanlongmen, and his martial arts are also good.
Li Shenfu is different from the eight-sided exquisite Li Shentong, he is modest and cautious, but also relatively low-key and pragmatic, so he has always been deeply valued by Li Yuan, since Li Yuanji was transferred from Taiyuan to Chang'an, Li Yuan sent him to Taiyuan, took over the post of governor of Bingzhou, in charge of military affairs of Bingzhou.
During his time in charge, he attacked and defended with the Sui army, governed the place without committing any crimes, and had a good reputation among the people, but after the arrival of Xiangguo Pei Lian, everything changed.
Three months ago, Pei Lin took the initiative to invite Ying, led an army of 30,000 to support Taiyuan, and was appointed as the secretary of the state and was in charge of the state affairs. Originally, Pei Lin and Li Shenfu, who was in charge of military affairs, did not interfere with the river water, but Li Yuan also gave Pei Lin the privilege of 'acting cheaply'.
After Pei Lin arrived, he unceremoniously took advantage of the privilege of 'acting cheaply' to take away the military command that belonged to Li Shenfu. As a result, Li Shenfu, the governor of the state, became the deputy general who carried out Pei Lian's orders.
Of course, Pei Lin has indeed mobilized the people to actively prepare for war in the past few months, and Li Shenfu felt that everyone should work together for the good of Li Tang, so he endured it. He originally thought that after the outbreak of the war, Pei Lin would return the military power to himself as a military general. However, when the Sui army copied the three breads, the scene that Li Shenfu was expecting did not happen, on the contrary, Pei Lian, as the first commander, nervously issued seven retreat policies in a row.
Pei Lin won!
Finally succeeded in provoking the well-known Li Shenrune.
Li Shenfu felt that Pei Lin didn't understand military affairs at all, and he was completely nonsense.
At this time, Li Shenfu walked quickly to the door of Pei Lian's office, the armor leaves draped all over his body were rattling, his eyes were very sharp, and the anger in his heart was difficult to hide.
Pei Lin just came out of it and almost bumped into the angry Li Shenrune, Pei Lin took a step back and said embarrassedly: "It turned out to be a general." β
"I have something I want to ask Sangkook." Li Shenfu said coldly.
Pei Lin smiled politely: "General, please come in." β
"No, it's good here!"
Li Shenfu's cold tone was like a cold wind blowing away Pei Lian's hypocritical smile, and Pei Lian's face was also covered with a layer of frost, and he said indifferently and politely: "I hope I can help the general." β
"I ordered an attack on the Sui army on the North Road led by Xue Wanche and Pei Xingyan today, why is Xiangguo, no, why am I not allowed to go out of the city? Do you know that you missed the best opportunity to break through one by one, and now that the three Sui armies have become one, did you do this on purpose? β
Li Shenfu stared at Pei Lin with eyes like knives, today he was going to lead the cavalry to meet the Northern Sui Route Army, but Wang Junkuo, who was guarding the city, did not open the door, nor did he listen to his orders, and almost made Li Shenfu so angry that he pulled out his knife and cut people.
Pei Lin said coldly: "It's very simple, the Sui army didn't carry siege weapons, it was obvious that it was luring our army out of the city, and I didn't want the general to be wiped out." β
Li Shenfu was furious: "It seems that Xiangguo really thinks that he can do whatever he wants!" β
Pei Lin said: "I don't understand what the general means by this? β
"Let me ask you, is the Taiyuan military power your Pei Lin in charge, or am I Li Shenfu? You're too much to do, aren't you? Li Shenfu finally uncovered the key issue that the two had been confused about for months in full view of everyone.
Pei Lin said: "General, the enemy is current, we should be united, why bother with a little power......"
"You can't say that, before you arrived, the military and political affairs of Taiyuan City were in order! But after you arrived, you were stunned to make Taiyuan City and Zhou County jump and complain! Listen carefully, what do the people call us Tang Jun now? Robbers, bandits...... I also put up with this, because I don't want to see the Tang Army infighting, but you issued military orders without authorization, so what am I, the governor of the Tang Dynasty and the state is not a fart in the eyes of you Pei Xiangguo? β
Li Shenfu said sharply: "If you Pei Lin dare to say that the Tang Dynasty official system is not a fart in your eyes today, I, Li Shenfu, will go back to Guanzhong." β
Pei Lian's face changed, he didn't wear this hat: "The holy decree is clear and clear, so that I can participate in the defense of Taiyuan, is there any other interpretation?" β
"I'm a mud girl, you're just participating!" Li Deliang roared angrily, "It's you who deceive people too much!" It's you, his mother, who has the heart to replace Hedong. β
Pei Lin said coldly: "Li Shenfu, you spew blood"
Li Shenfu "swooped", pulled out his sword, and pointed at Pei Lian: "Okay, what a bloody squirting person!" After Lao Tzu's military power was hollowed out by you, you ruined the reputation of the Tang Dynasty in Taiyuan recklessly, and deceived the people of Taiyuan that it was the Turks going south, and used this excuse to privately recruit 50,000 county soldiers, and the Huoyi guards were also replaced by the Pei family, all of which are evidence of your rebellion. β
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar!
Pei Lian's face flushed with anger: "I sent an urgent letter of eight hundred miles to the Holy Lord today, and asked the Holy Lord to decide on the ownership of military power, you are satisfied!" β
"I will also report the evidence of your rebellion to the Holy Lord!" Speaking of this, Li Shenfu shouted: "Jiang Baoyi, before the arrival of the holy decree, my 50,000-strong army will become a battalion of its own from now on, and I will no longer obey any military orders from Pei Lian!" Yang Tong is right, this is relying on 'disloyalty' to become the prime minister! β
"Whoa!" A warrior left in a murderous voice.
Li Shenfu continued: "Xiang Shanzhi and He Panren led three thousand elites, strictly guarding the warehouse day and night, whoever dares to abuse the armament, there will be no mercy." Something happened, and Lao Tzu took it. β
Xiang Shanzhi and He Panren died suddenly.
Li Shenfu snorted heavily, turned around and strode away.
It is often said that honest people generally don't lose their temper, and they are even afraid of themselves when they have a seizure.
These words were stacked on Li Shenrune's body, and he was not wrong at all, this violent temper attacked, and directly defined Pei Lin as an 'unloyal' traitor, and then simply took his army away, and it was not to defend against foreign enemies, but to prevent 'internal thieves'!
Pei Lian's face was blue and white for a while, and his momentum was greatly reduced. In terms of identity, he can't help Li Shenfu at all, but Li Shenfu, who has 'conclusive evidence', can completely cut him down.
Looking at the more and more ten soldiers gathered, watching more and more generals follow Li Shenfu, this made him worry in his heart, before the war started, the problem of military power caused discord among the generals, and he never dreamed that Li Shenfu would directly divide the army into two in the name of rebellion!
How's that good?
He always thought that the distinction between military power was very clear, he would not intervene in the specific affairs of the army, he just formulated a strategy, and then let Li Shenfu implement it, which is very reasonable! Otherwise, what did he do in Taiyuan?
He didn't expect that he had interfered too much in the military, and it had far exceeded the authority of the 'military advisor'. For example, the matter of closing the city gate should have been negotiated with Li Shenfu, but he didn't, but directly ordered it to be closed, which was completely a big interference and inappropriateness.
Pei Lin looked at the strange-looking soldiers, and felt that it was too late to rush eight hundred miles. The more terrifying battle between the generals has a serious impact on Taiyuan City.
