The next morning!

Yang Tong transferred a team of Xuanjia troops to escort the eldest grandson Wujian back to Zhuo County, and the 'Living Immortal' Zhang Qiu Taiyi was very good at seeing the head and not seeing the tail, and took advantage of the excitement to guide Yang Dong and them to leave with a few moves.

After breakfast, Yang Tong took the 'Martial Concubine' Niangniang, who was 'canonized' by Zhang Qiu Taiyi, and walked into the Taiyuan Mansion with the four generals!

Li Yuan, Wang Wei, and Gao Junya read out the emperor's new appointment to themselves, and in the name of General Xuanji, they exercised the power to take charge of the Hedong army.

Li Yuan only felt a loud bang in his head, and he couldn't close his mouth with his mouth open for a long time.

Although his family has been in decline for a long time, it has actually been supported by powerful people such as Guan Long, Dugu and Dou; In the Kanto, the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Wenxi Pei clan and some small and medium-sized scholars also showed favor to him either openly or implicitly.

It is precisely because of the joint efforts of all parties that he Li Yuan has succeeded in staying in Taiyuan, and he, Li Yuan, has always had the intention to replace the Great Sui! It's just that reason has been persuading him to forbear, and it is also his close friends Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing who have been planning for him, which is getting bigger step by step. But Yang Tong's strong rise made him have to shrink back silently.

But the hard work paid off, and Li Yuan finally waited for the most suitable opportunity.

First, it is the large and small families of Guanzhong who have made it clear that they are presiding under the inspiration of Dugu Valve, Dou Valve, and Li Valve! As long as Li Yuan is in the middle of the pass, everyone will give people food!

The second is that Li Yuan persuaded the Turkic Shibi Khan to send troops to help him contain Yang Dong with the benefit distribution of 'the income from the conquest, the children and the jade silk, all of which are owned by the Khan'.

Third, he had no time, Yang Guang summoned him to Jiangdu, and Guanzhong gradually recovered because of the opening of the imperial court to release grain.

However, despite the above four conditions, Li Yuan was still a little nervous!

Although the Great Sui has gone, it has not yet reached the last moment of disintegration, not everyone is willing to turn their backs on the Great Sui, and now there is still such a fire to the disintegration of the Sui Dynasty, and there are still two straws left before the huge and weak camel of the Great Sui Dynasty finally fell.

At this time, Xiao Milling of the Southern Xiao clan rebelled. As a rebellion of the nobles of the Western Liang Dynasty, Xiao Milling was of extraordinary significance and was widely supported by the southern scholars. Xiao Mo proclaimed himself the Duke of Liang and announced the re-establishment of the Liang Dynasty, he ordered to restrain military discipline, love the people, and not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and all the county surrender officials were in their original positions. Wu Xing Taishou Shen Faxing also raised troops in response, gathered 100,000 troops, and occupied the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. From Shen Faxing in the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Shihong in Poyang to Xiao Milling in Jingxiang, the uprising swept the entire south, which meant that the southern part of the Sui Dynasty began to collapse.

Li Yuan knew that this was the other straw he had been waiting for for a long time, and he, Li Yuan, would be the last straw that crushed the Sui Dynasty.

But!

Now that everything is ready, Yang Tong was actually named the general of Xuanji, and he had to take away the 30,000 troops in his hands, which is the same as marrying the woman he has liked for many years, but on the night of the cave room, what did the bride do!

How could Li Yuan stand it?

Yang Tong sneered in his heart, but his face quietly issued a sincere invitation, "Lord Li is the queen of the general, brave and good at fighting, skilled in archery and horses, familiar with the art of war, this king wants you to be the deputy commander, command the three armies of angry waves, raging waves, and tsunamis, and go north with this king to quell the rebellion... The number of these three armies is 30,000, not to mention unparalleled in the world, but it is also the most elite army in Jizhou with a hundred battles of one block and ten..."

Li Yuan only heard it in a cold sweat, your three armies are strong, but only listen to you, Lao Tzu went, and there are no bones left.

When Li Yuan was anxious to think of a way to save him, Yang Tong said to the ugly-looking Li Yuanji: "General Li, as the third son of the Li family, has a disadvantage in inheriting the family business, but this king thinks that the general should go to the battlefield and rely on his own strength to win the prestige of the king of beasts, and this king also believes that the general has this ability!" A true hero, fame has always been taken only from the horse. What do you think? Are you interested in doing it together? ”

The words made Li Yuanji's blood boil, and there was a sigh of the parents of those who gave birth to me and the king of Qin who knew me.

He was ugly and disliked by his family, and only his eldest brother Li Jiancheng treated him sincerely. His violence towards the weak is in fact also the vent of the inferior! Now after Yang Tong said so, he suddenly found that he had a new value: to become a superior person, so that the heroes of the world sincerely worship.

Li Yuan secretly shouted that it was not good, Li Yuanji, this kid took the lead, and he didn't know his own plan, so he was so happy about the canonization of the 'emperor', and now it is also, if he follows Yang Tong, he will have an extra proton in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, after the minister fell off the horse that day, his body was not good." And although Inuko Yuanji has a bit of brute strength, he is not a general, and if he goes, he will only miss the national affairs......"

In order to protect his son, Li Yuan said that Li Yuanji was bad in one breath, and he just threw words such as stubborn, unusable, and brutal on his son...... I didn't notice the anger, loss, and shame in Li Yuanji's eyes at all......

Yang Tong regretfully said to Li Yuanji, I admire you, but you look down on you, but still said: "I know that the general's strange appearance has brought a lot of inconvenience to my life, but if you are famous all over the world, others will only look up to and respect you." I hope that one day, you and I will be able to fight side by side. ”

Li Yuanji held back the anger and sadness in his heart, took a deep breath, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your attention!" ”

Although Li Yuan saved his father and son, the 30,000 elite soldiers he had worked so hard to accumulate fell into the hands of Yang Tong.

Yang Tong saw Li Yuan's bitter face, but his heart blossomed!

The battle of officialdom is like a battle on the battlefield, although it talks about conspiracy and trickery, but sometimes the trick is clear, although the other party knows it, but there is nothing to be done, the conspiracy is more to take advantage of the situation, to suppress people, in the face of strength, the conspiracy is so powerless.

Yang Tong's hand is a typical yang conspiracy, Li Yuan obviously knew that Yang Tong was seizing military power, but for the safety of the father and son, he could only compromise, and there was no way to resist.

Because he hasn't rebelled yet, this army is naturally the army of the imperial court, and Yang Tong, who has the holy order in hand, takes it all, and he has no way at all. It's even more difficult to turn his face now, because Yang Tong brought more than 40,000 elite soldiers, plus the army in the hands of Wang Wei and Gao Junya, there are 60,000 people, and he turned his face to find death.

More importantly, although the 30,000 army was under his control, the days were not long, and he was formed in the name of loyalty to the imperial court, except for a limited number of people, more than ninety percent of the soldiers did not know that he wanted to oppose the Sui, if it really fought, this army would definitely stand on the side of the imperial court.

The only thing Li Yuan could do was to obediently abandon this army. Otherwise, Yang Tong would let him be a ghost every minute.

Yang Tong took Li Yuan's 30,000 army, the first step was to eliminate hidden dangers, eliminate all military attaches above the team level, and then produce new team leaders, brigade commanders, and captains in the way of recommendation, self-recommendation, and respect for the strong.

As for the generals at the level of Lang generals, they are served by the second-rank and third-grade martial arts bachelors of the Jingwu Pavilion who accompany the army, and these people have been familiar with Jizhou's military discipline and training methods after a period of training, but it is more than enough to be a thousand-person general......

……

Taiyuan City Li Mansion!

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin came to their father's study worriedly, and the two brothers couldn't remember clearly. This is the first time I have come to see my father. Since the military power was taken away by Yang Tong, Li Yuan locked himself in the study for three whole days, no one was seen, and everyone was extremely worried!

Of course, the two brothers knew why their father was in pain, the 30,000 army was the root of the Li family's uprising, but it was easily taken away by Yang Tong, so that his father's multi-year plan became a flash in the pan, and extreme disappointment hit his father's ambition heavily, but the two brothers thought that things were not so bad.

The two brothers stood and wandered outside the study, not knowing how to persuade them. At this time, Liu Wenjing came in a hurry, he had just returned from the field, and he also knew about the seizure of military power.

He stepped forward and smiled, "Your father still can't figure it out? ”

Li Jiancheng sighed: "No news. ”

Liu Wenjing opened her throat and said, "Brother Shude, the good news for you is here, do you want to listen to it?" ”

After a while, Li Yuan's heavy voice came from the room, "Come in." ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin glanced at each other, or Liu Wenjing was very powerful, and his father was moved in one sentence, Li Shimin asked in a low voice: "What is the happy event for Uncle Shi?" ”

Liu Wenjing smiled, "You'll know right away?" ”

The three of them walked into the study, the Li brothers were a little stunned, they thought that the study was dirty and messy, and their father was also depressed and haggard, but the study in front of them was still neat, and the table was also full of maps.

The two brothers immediately understood that their father was not hit, but was alone in thinking about countermeasures.

Li Yuan smiled at Liu Wenjing and said, "It's not because of your happy event, but I figured it out, so don't take credit." ”

Liu Wenjing smiled: "That's no better." ”

Four people are seated!

Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng first, "Is Dou Yi gone?" ”

Dou Yi is the second grandson of Dou Wei, the head of the Dou family, and sent a letter to Li Yuan two days ago, and Li Jiancheng replied: "Father, Dou Yi is still waiting for his father to reply. ”

Li Yuan nodded, and then smiled at Liu Wenjing: "Tell me about your happy event!" I'm going to hear it. ”

Liu Wenjing said: "I heard that Yang Tong took away the adult's army, so I specially congratulate the adult, Yang Tong took away the army, Wang Wei and Gao Junya were wary, and the adult can calmly start things!" ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's eyes lit up, Liu Wenjing really had a unique vision, others saw the folded wings, but he saw the opportunity.

Li Yuan smiled, he also figured out this problem, Liu Wenjing coincided with him.

Liu Wenjing smiled again: "The second happy event, the king put grain in Guanzhong, all kinds of rumors that are unfavorable to the Guanlong magnates are flying all over the sky, under the guidance of people with hearts, all kinds of shady scenes of the family are known to the people... When the time comes, the adults will seize Guanzhong and get rid of a few families who have grievances with the Dugu clan and the Dou clan... You can get the people's popularity! ”

"I also think about it this way, the Hedong side is fighting steadily, and training elite soldiers through war. When it's a little messier in the middle of the pass, I'll clean up the mess! During this period, he supported a few fierce gangsters to make trouble in Guanzhong, and obtained the money and food of the family gate valve for their own use! Enter the customs, and then 'calm down' one by one! ”

Liu Wenjing nodded and said: "Once the adults enter the customs, the major families in Guanzhong will be eager to ask for power, and if they give it, it will not be conducive to the stability of the new regime; If they don't give it, they will not be satisfied, they will deviate from morality and create trouble for adults. Supporting the murderous and rogue gangsters, not only getting money and food, but also weakening the power of the major families... When Guanzhong is completely chaotic, the arrival of adults in the major families will inevitably be babies looking forward to their parents, and adults will govern more smoothly. ”

Li Yuan nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyes, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is Yang Tong." ”

"Your Excellency is back in circles." Liu Wenjing smiled and analyzed seriously: "Liu Wuzhou is indeed not Yang Dong's opponent, but there is a powerful Turk in the north, if Yang Dong loses, then the adult's worries no longer exist." ”

"What if you win?"

"Shibi Khan is like the sun, his eyes are empty, and he naturally gathers a large army to retaliate, so that Yang Tong has no strength to deal with adults. And I think he has already guessed that we, or other Guanlong nobles, want to seize Guanzhong, so he first borrowed this force to weaken the Guanlong nobles and cause chaos in Guanzhong! At the same time, as the second grandson of the concubine, Yang Tong's background is not as noble as the acting king Yang Yu, and the order is not as good as the eldest grandson Yan Wang Yang Qi, as long as the saint is alive, no matter how chaotic the world is, no matter how the emperor is arranged, he will not be able to take his turn, therefore, he wants Yang Qi and Yang Yu to die in the war more than anyone else, once we raise troops and march into Guanzhong, he can still use the excuse to send troops to quell the chaos! ”

In the end, Liu Wenjing made a decision: "Yang Tong has a strong Turkic enemy outside, and he hopes that his brother will die in his heart, so I think he will not deal with us until no one else starts an incident in Guanzhong." ”

At this time, Li Jiancheng cautiously interjected: "Will King Qin be so ruthless?" ”

Li Shimin sneered: "Don't talk about it, let's take the recent Yang Yong, Yang Guang, and Yang Liang as examples!" The three of them are brothers of the same father and mother, and they still kill you to death... What's more, Yang Tong and Yang Qi and Yang Yu are not the same father and mother. This is called the most ruthless emperor's family! ”

Li Jiancheng's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything. glanced at Li Shimin, his eyes moved down, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he lowered his head.

At this time, Li Yuan's eyes were gloomy and said: "I have thought about it for three days, and I have decided that as long as Yang Tong leaves, we will gather soldiers in secret!" When he engages the Turks, he immediately raises his army. And before dominating the world, any conditions can be promised to the Turks! ”

"Father is wise!" Li Shimin praised that Yang Tong harmed the Li family and became the laughing stock of the world, and the biggest joke was him Li Shimin, who hated Yang Tong for a long time.
