Taiyuan Li Mansion!

Li Yuan, who learned that the Jizhou army was fighting hard with the Turks, convened his allies to discuss the matter.

"We have 60,000 troops, and more than 10,000 domestic slaves."

Dugu Huaien, the representative of the Dugu family, immediately said: "The reason why the head of the family did everything possible to get Brother Shude to stay in Taiyuan actually has a deep intention. ”

Li Yuan was stunned, looked at Dugu Huaien in puzzlement, and only heard Dugu Huaien smile and said: "After the siege of Yanmen, the army stationed in Hedong is basically Guanlong soldiers, and at least half of the hundreds of thousands of high-level officers of the government soldiers in Hedong are the old house slaves of our Guanlong nobles, as long as there is an incident, these people will rise up together to support, not only that, but the Zhuang Ding and fake sons of our grange add up to tens of thousands of people, in addition, we have also hoarded unexpected money, grain savings and armor in Hedong, so we don't have to worry at all." ”

Dou Kang, the representative of the Dou family, also smiled: "Guanzhong is also ready!" ”

Li Yuan's spirit perked up, "The world is divided into separate pieces, Yang Guang has been completely isolated, the Central Plains has no time to take care of anything else, and Yang Tong is contained by the Turks in Mayi, it will not pose much of a threat!" We have as many as 100,000 troops, and the time is ripe for an uprising! Please tell the two heads of the family, I, Li Yuan, will choose to do the matter! ”

Dou Kang said: "Brother Shude! My Dou family appointed Dou Cong to be in charge of Hedong affairs. ”

"I'm here to help on behalf of the Dugu family!" Dugu Huaien said.

……

Dou Kang and Dugu Huaien didn't stay in the Li Mansion for a long time, and after they left, Li Yuan was silent, the moonlight penetrated through the crack in the window, shining on Li Yuan's slightly pale face, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

"Father!"

Li Jiancheng said in a low voice: "Dou Kang said that 'at least half of the hundreds of thousands of high-ranking officers in Hedong are the domestic slaves of the Guanlong nobles', I think they want these people to infiltrate the army, and then use these people to restrain us." Therefore, the Dugu clan and the Dou clan have sinister intentions, and they purely regard us as a tool to seize power, and once they succeed in seizing power, they may set our Li family ...... empty."

Li Yuan sneered, "It's normal to have this thought, the Guanlong magnates started with military affairs, and they all came from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty. It's just that I, Li Yuan, how can I be at the mercy of them? Speaking of this, Li Yuan said earnestly: "You have to learn to be patient, we need their support, we must not turn against them, they are using each other, just to see who can use them to the end." ”

"Guanzhong is certainly the chosen place, but the muddy waters there are too deep! Therefore, Hedong, where various forces are intertwined, is our foundation. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, "Father, should we attack Yang Tong with the Turks first, or go south?" ”

"Naturally, it's south! Yang Tong asked Gao Junya to garrison the battle-ready fortress of Xinkou, and it was us who defended it, so it can be seen that Yang Tong has already sensed something! That's why I'm in a hurry to get started. ”

"Do you want to send someone to contact Shibi again?"

"No need, it's already been discussed!" Li Yuan has made up his mind, "Quickly invite Pei Lian, Changsun Shunde, Wu Shi Tong, Tang Jian and others to me, and I will discuss with them the final army." ”

After a while, the henchmen quickly arrived.

Li Yuan first conspired with everyone to lure Wang Wei, the deputy left-behind guard, to the government office on the pretext of an emergency meeting, and arrested all of them with soldiers who had been ambushed in advance, and finally, he publicly beheaded them for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

This plan was successful in history, but it is a pity that Wang Wei, who had been advised by Yang Tong earlier, was smarter, he did not stare at Li Yuan, but only stared at Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing, Dugu Huaien, and Wu Shi Tong, Li Yuan's henchmen!

When Li Yuan secretly summoned his henchmen to discuss the matter, Wang Wei led the army to capture Li Yuan's horse farm and manor with lightning speed! Not only did he kill 2,000 Turks, but he also snatched up more than 10,000 war horses that Li Yuan had worked so hard to hoard! Then retreat to Xinkou.

What made Li Yuan most angry was that this bastard also burned down more than 20 loads of grain in the Taiyuan Mansion Treasury that he couldn't take away.

Seeing that the situation was completely unexpected, Li Yuan was also worried that this bastard would attract Yang Tong, a madman.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Li Yuan led the general himself and established the general's mansion! Within half a month, Li Yuan recruited more than 150,000 soldiers, plus the elite soldiers and slaves he prepared, and had 200,000 soldiers for a time, with a strong force and a huge momentum!

It's just that due to Yang Tong's chaotic entry, the granary and arsenal of Jinyang Palace were moved, and the treasury of Taiyuan County was burned, so Li Yuan's Taiyuan uprising was much more embarrassed than in history. Even many of the spears were just sharpened sticks.

There was no bow, no armor, and most of the soldiers carried a single sword, or only a sharpened spear, and a wooden shield made of willow, or even simply a pot lid as a shield.

Before the rebellion, Li Yuan did not forget to mobilize to boost morale.

October 20.

Li Yuan led the army to swear under the white flag of Qianyang Gate in the east of Jinyang Palace, and officially raised troops in the name of "abolishing the faint and establishing the Ming, supporting the acting king, and restoring the Sui room"! In the published article, he reprimanded Yang Guang for listening to slander, killing Zhongliang, and using military force, causing public resentment to boil...... Wait a minute!

The depression that has been accumulated for decades can finally be scolded happily, and Li Yuan, who is very cool, sees that the atmosphere is almost over.

He canonized Pei Lin as the history of the general's mansion, Yin Kaishan as Peng, Tang Jian and Wen Daya as the secretary to join the army, Wen Dayou as the clerk, Wu Shi Tong as the armor Cao to join the army, the eldest grandson Shunde as the subordinate, Wang Changhuan, Liu Hongji, Dou Cong, Jiang Baoyi, Yangtun, Zhang Pinggao, Li Sixing, Li Gaoqian as the left and right commanders, deputy commanders. Li Yuan almost came to a big official dispatch, and sent out thousands of official positions in one go, as long as the people who followed Li Yuan had official jobs.

In addition to winning people's hearts, on the other hand, it is to tie the people who accept official positions to their chariots, if he fails, those who accept official positions are unlucky, so these people can only desperately help Li Yuan seize the world.

He also named Li Jiancheng, the prince of Longxi, the governor of the left army, and commanded the left army; With the second son Li Shimin as the Duke of Dunhuang and the governor of the right leading army, he commanded the right army, and the two of them each commanded an army of 50,000, all of which were subordinate to the government! With Li Yuanji as the Duke of Gu Zang, the general of Zhenbei, and the Taishou of Taiyuan, he led an army of 40,000 to stay in Jinyang.

The next day, Li Yuan personally led his eldest son Li Jiancheng, his second son Li Shimin and 150,000 "righteous soldiers" from Taiyuan to the south!

Hedong Road suddenly boiled.

Local people along the road joined one after another, and many Haoqiang clans followed suit. It's not that these powerful people don't understand, but they have other ideas.

Back then, Yang Jian's world was snatched from the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Yuwen family was snatched from the Yuan family of the Wei Dynasty, so they knew better than ordinary people that the essence of the inside story of power was that the strong were respected and the winners were the mainstay.

Now that the Great Sui is full of holes and crumbling, and Tang Guogong Li Yuan does not recognize whether it is his personal prestige or the strength of his family, they are all extremely powerful Guanlong, maybe Li Yuan is the next Yuwentai and the next Yang Jian.

From the dragon's work is still very tempting.

However, some people are not optimistic about Li Yuan, thinking that the world is still good for Da Sui.

For example, when Cheng Gao Deru of Hexi County was looking for him in Li Yuan, he promised to do well in person, and also recruited a large number of government soldiers and people accompanied by Li Shimin, and he looked like he followed the Li family firmly, which made Li Ergongzi very satisfied.

However, as soon as Li Shimin left, he immediately sent people to report to Yang Gongren of Jizhou, Yang Yu, the acting king of Chang'an, Yang Qi, the king of Yan, who stayed in the eastern capital, and the Taishou of Hedong. At the same time, he also advised the Taishou and Tongshou to mobilize the township to reorganize the army for war according to the wartime mechanism. On the grounds that Xihe County was not in danger, he retreated to Lingshi County with heavy troops.

With this high-level spy reporting inside, Li Yuan's side has not yet made an incident, and several princes and Hedong Taishou have already received information.

Hedong Taishou immediately sent troops to arrest Li Yuan, Pei Lin and others who were left in Hedong and went to Chang'an.

After receiving the secret letter, Yang Qi, the king of Yan, who stayed in the eastern capital, urgently ordered Yang Qing, the king of Xun, to lead an army of 10,000 troops to enter Hedong and recruit soldiers from the whole county to guard Hedong County.

And in Xijing!

Wei Xuan, Gu Yi, Yin Shishi, Qu Tutong, Qu Tugai, Song Laosheng, and Yao Junsu were summoned to the palace, and they saw Yang Yu, the left-behind acting king, and appeased the panicked emperor and grandson together.

Then we started to study countermeasures

Wei Xuan has experienced countless ups and downs, and he has the most say in such a major event as Li Yuan's rebellion.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Xuan's first arrangement was to order Qu Tugai and Yao Junsu to lead the Xiaoguo Army to capture Li Yuan's brothers and nephews in Xijing.

He immediately issued the second order, and immediately praised Gao Deru in the following paragraphs, and promoted him to the Longquan County Guard, and then put him in charge of the military affairs of Xihe County and blocked Lingshi County.

Lingshi County is located in the middle of the Bird Mouse Valley, the Bird Mouse Valley is more than 70 kilometers long, rugged and steep, wearing the mountain on the top, and facing the abyss below. As the choke point between Taiyuan and Linfen, controlling the Sparrow Mouse Valley would undoubtedly cut off Li Yuan's way south.

The third order was to send Huyalang to garrison Huoyi with 30,000 elite soldiers led by Song Laosheng, and Qu Tutong was sent to garrison Hedong with 20,000 Xiaoguo and tens of thousands, echoing Song Laosheng from afar to resist Li Yuan.

After doing this, he asked Yin Shishi, Sang Xian and imitate the Xiaoguo Army, selected warriors from the people to form two armies of soldiers and horses, distributed weapons, and stepped up training.

As for the evacuation of Xijing, he thought he was not busy thinking about it.

After doing all this, Wei Xuan could only wait quietly for the results.
