Yang Tong methodically used the common sense of later generations to run publications, build flying artifacts, cast new knives, set up navigation, set up banks, and set up postal ...... The foundation of the Great Sui was consolidated step by step, and the Chengdu side of Shu County was also a lot more stable because the Great Sui Dynasty did not move.

Although Chengdu used to be the center of Yizhou, but it was only a county, the city specifications were built in accordance with the county governance standards, but Li Yuan since the defeat of the Eastern Expedition, has moved the capital to this heart, although because of the Guanlong nobles, failed to move the capital quickly, but he secretly let Zhang Changxun silently expand the scale of the capital, after reaching a truce with the five counties of Jingbei with the Sui Dynasty, this expansion was also changed from secretly to a large construction, after recent years of construction, the new Chengdu city expanded on the original site is very similar to Daxing City and Xiangyang City, According to the symmetrical layout of the central axis, it is composed of the outer Guo City, the palace city and the imperial city, the streets in the city are criss-crossed, one hundred and nine lanes are delineated, there are the East City, the West City, the South City and the Royal Garden Wuji Palace that each occupies two squares in the city, the overall planning in the city is neat, the layout is rigorous, it can accommodate millions of people to live, the inner and outer two city walls of the brick-covered are tall and heavy, each has five zhang.

The speed of construction is so fast, even Daxing City, Luoyang City is not as good, this is mainly because the timber is mostly taken from the local material, of course, there is a lot of manpower, but Li Yuan took the way of exchanging work for land here, so not only did he not complain, but he harvested the hearts of a large number of landless people and slaves, which also made the Li Tang Dynasty who fled in a hurry to lay the foundation for victory, this situation is far better than the Li Tang court imagined.

The benefits brought by the equal division of the land greatly encouraged the Li Tang court, and they simply launched a vigorous action to fight the local tyrants throughout the territory, carried out the equal division of the land to the end, and then used the money, grain, wealth, and pig iron armor seized from the local tyrants to support the army. It can be said that the dominance of the Li Tang Dynasty in Yizhou reached an unprecedented height, and if the Great Sui invaded at this time, it would be regarded as an invader by the people of Yizhou, and resisted by the people who had just obtained the land from the imperial court.

This is also the reason why Yang Tong forbears one step, for him, the people of Yizhou are also the people of the Great Sui. If you can fight as little as possible, try not to fight, but try not to fight, but the border of the Chen army, using Li Yuan's crazy expansion of the army, resisting the psychology of the army, containing and consuming Li Tang's national strength, people's power, and people's heart, in the end, Yizhou will still fall into the hands of the Great Sui.

In order to hold the last place of survival, Li Yuan only continued to expand his army, sucking blood from the counties of Yizhou, heavy military service and heavy taxes would sooner or later make the Tang Dynasty lose the hearts of the people in Yizhou, this truth is like treating a terminally ill patient in an ordinary home, even if the family property is exhausted in the end, and the debt is heavy, it cannot save the patient.

Now the Sui army only needs to deploy troops in Qingjiang, Yiling, Fangling, Xicheng, Hanchuan, Hechi, Shunzheng, Hanyang, Lintao, Jiangyuan and other counties to form a flanking attack in the east, north and west, even if Li Yuan knows the strategic intentions of the Great Sui, he can only bite the bullet and expand the army by drinking to quench his thirst, and continue to confront the Great Sui, unless he wants to die.

In the final analysis, this is still a shameless conspiracy to bully others, so that people can only follow the rhythm of the other party even if they know that it is a plan.

Maybe it's the New Year is coming, or maybe the people of Yizhou firmly believe that Yizhou has the risk of four stops, and feel that the Great Sui can't get in, there are a lot of pedestrians on the streets of Chengdu these days, and many old customers have come to each wine shop one after another, and the reason is that Li Yuan saw that the cleaning of the Guanlong aristocratic manor and the local heroes was completed, and the people's hearts were in their bodies, so let the Wuchuan Division relax the monitoring of the city, and transferred it to supervise the generals with the troops.

However, the news that Dugu Wudu led his troops to Xuanwu County, Shu County, caused an uproar in the city. However, not many people care about whether to hit Chengdu, just because the emperor has asked Li Xiaogong to bring 30,000 soldiers to kill, and the people do not think that Li Xiaogong can't beat the more than 10,000 'bandits' in Dugu Wudu.

At a liquor restaurant in Chengdu's East Market, dozens of diners drank and talked about what had happened recently.

"You know what? Guo Xingfang's Guo family was also copied today. "A diner shared a shocking news.

The Guo family is a famous family in Shu County, has been handed down for more than 20 generations, has great prestige in Yizhou, its head Guo Xingfang is very powerful, he used money to bribe Dugu Huaien to become the county of Shu County, but after the Dugu faction was baptized by Li Yuan's bloodbath, he and Li Yuanji got into a relationship, and according to Li Yuanji's arrangement, handed over the slaves and most of the family property, when Li Yuan entered Shu, he ran to Luchuan to kneel to greet him, and was praised by Li Yuan, who wanted to blink an eye, was raided.

The diner asked, "What's going on, tell me about it!" ”

"Early this morning, the officials of Dali Temple broke into the Guo family's mansion with hundreds of soldiers, I heard that Guo Xingfang was executed on the spot, Dali Temple transported hundreds of boxes of gold and silver jewelry from Guo's house, there are more than 60,000 horses of fine Shu brocade alone, Guo Xingfang's son and nephew took a knife to hurt people, and the result was also killed on the spot, the result was worse than the Xie family, and there were still a lot of things left in the Xie family, and the Guo family was not only emptied, but also destroyed."

"Why is it so miserable? I heard that Guo Xingfang is the most honest, and he was named the squire of the Ministry of Rites by the Son of Heaven, so quickly he turned his face ruthlessly, the emperor was too ruthless! ”

"I don't think I can blame the emperor, after all, these nobles are different from our common people, they don't care about the change of dynasties, they will bet on both sides when they see that the situation is not good, if the army of the Sui Dynasty kills, they will definitely be the first to surrender, rather than cheapen the Sui Dynasty, it is better to take their wealth and distribute it to our soldiers, maybe there is a chance to turn the tables."

"Turnaround? When they met the Sui army, they lost their lives in less than a month, and the same was true of Yongzhou and Jingzhou, and the king of Jin defeated an army of 100,000 and 200,000; King Jing was even more miserable, the whole army was wiped out twice, and I think the Sui army will be killed under the city of Chengdu sooner or later. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, beware of the misfortune that comes out of your mouth."

"Yes, yes, you can't say that."

Everyone returned to their seats, not daring to talk nonsense about state affairs anymore, but blew up the maverick and self-clean Xiaoxiang Pavilion beauties.

At this time, a man in his thirties who was sitting in the corner drinking sighed, put the money on the table, and got up and left.

A group of guards followed.

Only then did everyone realize that this person was unusually handsome and extraordinary, and they guessed in a low voice who this person was.

……

The man who stepped out of the wine shop was Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang, Li Jiancheng had been back for a while, although he was not punished, but the so-called 'entering Shu and ascending the throne' seemed to have been forgotten by everyone;

To be honest, on the way to Shu, he thought about leaving quietly with his wife and children several times and living a hermit life, but his son's filial piety and the mission and responsibility of his courtiers finally made him come to Chengdu City.

When I first arrived, I was also happy about the situation in Yizhou, but after calming down for a few days, I found that the Tang Dynasty had fallen into a false prosperity, and the crisis not only came from the Great Sui, but also internally, because when the imperial court purged the Guanlong nobles, it was too ruthless to attack the army, causing the military attachés with combat experience to disappear cleanly.

The middle and high-level generals before the Tang Army, almost all of them were born in Guanlong nobles, and their own qualities enabled them to assume their own positions, and good military theories made them perfect to become the backbone of the Tang Dynasty Army from the moment they joined the army.

But there are pros and cons.

The children of the Guanlong nobility certainly meant a good education, but it also made them always put their family first. Once the interests of the state and the interests of the family contradict each other, they do not hesitate to choose the interests of the family, and they do not care whether the interests of the country are damaged or even overturned.

Therefore, for the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Guanlong aristocracy was a double-edged sword.

While endangering the imperial power, it also shouldered the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the society, and Yang Jian found the balance between the two, so he created the prosperous era of the emperor. Yang Guang only knew how to blindly eradicate it, which finally led to the collapse of the stable social structure.

And they Li Tang really annihilated the Guanlong nobles, but after cleaning up, the Tang army became snowflakes flying in the air, turned into rootless duckweed in the water, and fell into the dilemma of having no middle-level good generals. This is also the reason why Li Xiaogong can still lead troops.

Li Jiancheng believed that the top priority at the moment was to quickly select a group of capable officers and men with combat experience from among the army, and then follow the example of the Great Sui Dynasty and select the best of them to go to the former army to become military attachés.

But Li Jiancheng's opinion has no effect, his father is already determined to strike while the iron is hot, do a good job in the imperial examination first, and further disturb the hearts of Yizhou scholars, but if the Sui army fights, and the unscrupulous general leads the troops to the edge of the town, the war will soon be pushed to the city of Chengdu, what is the use of this elected literati? His father's choice of priority and priority really made him sad.

The carriage slowly drove towards the palace, Li Jiancheng silently looked at the pedestrians on the street, as well as the brand-new walls, but he was not happy at all in his heart, and his heart was heavy, and the internal and external troubles of the Tang Dynasty made him feel very depressed.

The carriage drove into the Suzaku Gate and was about to turn to the East Palace, but it stopped unexpectedly, only to see several guards blocking the carriage on the way, and the head guard stepped forward and saluted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is an urgent matter to discuss with you, please see you immediately." ”

"I'll go!"

Li Jiancheng didn't know what was going on, but he really didn't have much interest in his father's summons, but he couldn't go if he didn't go, so he had to follow the guards to the Wude Palace.

As soon as Li Jiancheng arrived at the door of the imperial study, the eunuch who had been waiting in the snow for a long time greeted him and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Holy One, you go in directly." ”

"What happened?"

"I heard that it is related to King Jin, and the specific old slave doesn't know."

"I see." Li Jiancheng's heart was tight, and he was very worried that the restless Li Shimin would poke out something again.
