The banner of King Han is not so attractive, whether it is Li Po's background or the perception of him by the people of Kansai, it cannot make him as popular as Li Yuan.

That is, the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty lasted for a long time, and it can be said that the people were at ease, so the requirements for the king also became, otherwise, a person who could barely enter the gate wall of the Guanxi clan would be far worse in the eyes of the people.

Fortunately, Li Po has worked hard to make up for a lot of shortcomings over the years, he is married to the daughter of the Guanxi Shiwang, and the King of Han is also nominally sealed by Empress Xiao, who is orthodox in the former Sui Dynasty, and also carries the sun, moon and star flag.

Don't look at people's gritted teeth against Yang Guang, but after so many years of war, people still have a very cordial sense of the banner of the former Sui, just like Yu Wenshi said, the people who can still carry the banner of the former Sui are also the Han family, but not only how his father is, many people have feelings about it.

In addition, the Jin army had enough food and clothing, which formed an overwhelming military deterrent to the Kansai people, so the Kansai people showed a shy answer, wanting to refuse and win, and planned to wait and see the situation.

Especially the people in the Qin Palace, at the last moment, they all boasted of being the pillars of the country, wise and resourceful, and the fight with the prince and the party was in full swing, as if the world was already under their control.

But the next moment, they all became prisoners without much struggle, each as if in a dream, if you don't be reserved, you can't say it.

So he also made Li Poyi Xingshan, and secretly said that these people don't know the current affairs, if you help me succeed at this time, even if you make a crack in the city gate for me, it will be considered a great achievement for you, right?

Now she is squirming like a girl, afraid that Lao Tzu will take your life, and you don't want to contribute to Lao Tzu, what good thing do you want to do?

Hmph, wait for Lao Tzu to enter Chang'an City, and then take the other steps......

In fact, he has also cleaned up too many Henan people over the years, and Henan has been harmed too much by Wang Shichong and Li Mi, which has made Henan very bad, and the guys who survived by luck have all become grass on the wall, regardless of whether they are good or bad.

This inevitably affected Li Po and made him feel good about himself, but when he reached the realm of the Kansai people, the lack of prestige became extremely obvious, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

And he hasn't had much contact with the southerners, and once he meets, he will probably spit it out again.

…………………………………………

As time passed, the atmosphere in Chang'an became more and more tense.

The Tang army in the city was not relieved by the fact that the Jin army did not attack the city, but the pressure continued to surge.

In order to prevent people from making trouble, various prohibitions have been imposed in the city, and idle people are not allowed to walk on the streets without reason, and they are not allowed to carry weapons, etc., etc.

The inner city and the outer city were also separated, and the generals of the defending army were replaced by people worthy of the emperor's trust, even so, Li Yuan no longer walked out of the palace city, lest someone take the opportunity to assassinate.

No one can be left alone at such a moment, and soon Li Yuan's edict was sent to the military department, the household department and other yamen, asking them to gather the generals and servants of the various aristocratic mansions in the capital to form an army, and patrol the market instead of the defenders, so as to prevent anyone from making trouble.

It's a pity that there are few results, and at such a time, how can the nobles put their fate in the hands of others? Household soldiers and servants were their last recourse.

And if you have summoned all their people today, will you let them give up their food tomorrow? In a few days, if there is a great turmoil in the city, will someone break into their mansions and harm their wives and children? How can everyone still resist at that time?

Another reason why they are reluctant to contribute is more realistic, that is, even if the emperor is changed, the new master still has to rely on them, so how can they offend someone who may become their master at this time?

Not long ago, because of Feng Yi's urgency, Zuo Xiaowei's general Dou Liang led 20,000 people to aid Feng Yi, but he never returned, and the Jin army suddenly appeared under Chang'an City like Fei.

20,000 people, this is not a small number, don't look at the army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people at every turn, most of them are conscripted soldiers, and some of them are strong......

One of the most important reasons why the Jin army is so strong is that in terms of the composition of troops, almost all of them are real elite soldiers and strong generals, not so indiscriminate people.

The Tang army is different, it is worse than the former Sui army, not to mention the Jin army, plus the deployment of troops from the outside and the inside......

Therefore, Dou Liang took away 20,000 horses, and the strength of the defenders of Chang'an immediately fell into a stretched situation, otherwise, with Li Yuan's temperament, how could he recruit aristocratic private soldiers to use?

At this point, he and Yang Guang are almost the same, they can't trust these Guanxi "bandits", and even he is worse than Yang Guang, after all, when Yang Guang was defeated, there were also Wei Xuan, Yin Shishi and others trying to redeem it, at this time, in addition to his relatives, which one did Li Yuan dare to appoint with confidence?

Of course, Li Yuan must also have a few loyal subordinates, but they are not as good as Wei Xuan and Yin Shishi.

For example, Jiang Baoyi, the general of Zuo Wuwei, is the most conspicuous one of them, and after Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, took charge of Feng Yi, he was the head of the royal guard.

After Li Xiuning left Beijing to go to Yongfeng Dacang, even the Qianniu Reserve Mansion in the palace was in his hands, which shows that Li Yuan has great trust in him.

For Jiang Baoyi, the only regret is that there may be no chance to go out to lead the troops in the future, and his "dazzling" record also makes people dare not let him go out as a general.

is still the same sentence, Jiang Baoyi does not dare to compliment his ability to lead the army, and he is also confused in dealing with people, but there is one thing, this person's loyalty is really blameless.

What is the prince's party, what is the Qin king's faction, or Li Yuanji, the king of Qi with a small belly, he can't do it here, even if he doesn't dare to offend you, he will definitely not be co-opted by you, and he can be said to be loyal to Li Yuan, and there is no doubt about it.

This is also the reason why for many years, no matter what mistakes he makes, or what foolish things he says, who he offends, he is safe and sound, and he can always be in a high position and cannot be shaken.

When Li Pobing came to the city, Jiang Baoyi's position became more and more important, the safety of the palace and the inner city were handed over by Li Yuan, and the defenders of the outer city were actually gradually placed under the Zuo Wuwei Mansion.

A special period made Jiang Baoyi a figure like the commander of the defense of the capital, so it is really difficult to talk about life encounters.

If this news reached Li Po's ears, if he could still recall which Jiang Baoyi was, he would definitely laugh three times and cheer for Li Yuan.

But Jiang Baoyi has indeed come to the pinnacle of life, and compared to back then, as the general of Zuo Wuwei, stationed in Beijing, commanding the Yulin guards, seeing countless big names, and dealing with them, it is impossible for Jiang Baoyi not to grow.

It can be said that people are no longer the Jiang Baoyi they used to be.

Until now, he has been ordered to be in danger...... The life of a legend does not need much explanation.

"General ......" Jiang Baoyi's personal commander, Captain Zhang Man hurriedly walked in, regardless of how many other people there were in the guard, he only walked to Jiang Baoyi's side, lowered his head and muttered a few words in his ear.

The news was obviously important and secret, Jiang Baoyi only listened to a few words, and immediately waved his hand to let everyone retreat.

Seeing that everyone had gone out, Zhang Man's voice also raised up, "There are also Xu Shixu, the general of Zuotun Weifu, and Zhang Ping, the general of the hussars, who have had several private meetings, and when they speak, they are complaining that the emperor treats them too thinly, saying that everyone has the merit of righteousness, but they create people and exclude them, and the credit is taken by others, and the emperor does not support them......"

Jiang Baoyi stared directly at this life-saving benefactor and confidant, and his head was a little bigger for a while, he has indeed installed a lot of ears and eyes over the years, mainly because the emperor has a life, he dare not do it, otherwise, how can he have the courage to monitor the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK? Tired of being alive?

You know, there's no spy politics at this time.

And Xu Shixu, Zhang Pinggao and others in Zhang Man's mouth, are all old people when the emperor Taiyuan raised troops, not counting the party of King Qin, but they all belong to the Jin faction and belong to outsiders in Guanxi, and they have been very excluded over the years.

Up to now, the official has not been promoted a few levels, and the real power is pitiful, and it is very normal to complain, but it is a sensitive moment to catch up...... It makes Jiang Baoyi very tricky.

In addition, Zhang Man also reported that the Gao clan also had a change, and these remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty dragged their feet when it came to a critical time, and they did not dare to deal with it at will, which was even more embarrassing than those people before.

According to the usual rules, when these people are involved, they must report to the emperor, but now, Jiang Baoyi feels that the emperor has given him a heavy responsibility, and he has to go to the palace to ask for advice on everything, so he doesn't have to be a general.

Moreover, Jiang Baoyi felt that there was an undercurrent surging in the city, and felt that he should kill the chickens and monkeys, and take some people's heads to show those people at both ends of the rats.

Well, how many years have passed, Jiang Baoyi has changed a lot, but one thing has not changed, that is, the habit of killing people is still there, and what has changed is to look at the dishes of the family.

"You take someone to get Xu Shixu, Zhang Pinggao...... This generation is ungrateful, colluding with the inside and outside, and wants to open the city to meet the foreign enemy, but the crime is unforgivable, and he is beheaded, hanging his head on the city wall, in order to set an example. ”

Just know ...... Zhang Man hammered the cuirass and turned to leave, he had followed Jiang Baoyi from Jindi to the present, and he knew Jiang Baoyi even more than he knew about himself.

What Jiang Baoyi didn't see was a mysterious smile on Zhang Man's face with his back to him, and after a while, he returned to normal.

And Jiang Baoyi himself immediately led his troops to the mansion of Gao Lun, the former head of the household department, Gao Lun is the bloodline of Gao Huan, Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which is the family of the emperor, and after arriving in Guanxi, it is also very prosperous.

And except for the children of the Gao family, who have not inherited Gao Huan's far-sighted, wise and martial side, the rest have almost inherited, such as lustful and obedient......
