Send troops again
"Your Majesty, this is my eldest brother's letterhead to you, let me be intact, be sure to hand it over to you, ah, how wet it." Lao Wu took out a crumpled envelope from his arms and said, but he saw that the envelope was slightly wet, and his expression looked very panicked and a little remorseful, and he looked very honest, and the ministers were also funny when they saw this man's honesty.
Li Shimin was full of doubts when he heard this, your eldest brother? Who is your eldest brother? He waved his hand and said, "Present." Wang Jingzhong went down and took it.
Li Shimin asked at this time, "Who is your eldest brother?" Why did you send the message? "This is also what the Minister wants to ask.
"My eldest brother is Wang Wei, the captain of Yizhou Zhaowu." Lao Wu raised his head and said.
The ministers were confused when they heard it, Captain Zhaowu, a six-rank military officer, actually used four hundred miles to rush to report?
Li Shimin was also stunned, this is Wang Jingzhong presented the letterhead, Li Shimin took a look, it was soaked with sweat, Li Shimin also knew the hard work of rushing to spread the news, and he did not dislike it, carefully opened the envelope, unfolded the letter and looked at it, his face was shocked, and his face was gloomy when he saw it, and he slapped the letter heavily on the dragon case.
The ministers sighed in their hearts when they saw it, and it seemed that there was some bad news again.
After a while, only Sun Wuji, the head of the civil officials, was forced to give a little brother's signal, and asked out of the class: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the urgent report is?" ”
Li Shimin listened to the question of the eldest grandson Wuji, and also turned his face, and said gloomily with anger: "Governor Yi Shi Yan Minghong is dead."
The ministers were confused when they heard it, and then they heard Li Shimin continue: "Li Xiaochang, the king of Yi'an, wants to seize the military power, so that Sima Chen Yuanxuan and Lu Asi join the army to seize the military power of Yan Minghong, but Yan Minghong does not obey, and it is wise to jump the city to die." Now the 20,000-strong army is still in the hands of Captain Wang Wei." After a few short sentences, the hall was full of surprise, the ministers here are not fools, what is the reason why Yan Minghong is in charge of the military in Yizhou, everyone knows it, and now the king of Yi'an forced Yan Minghong to death in order to seize the military power, what is this going to do, rebellion?
When even someone jumped out and angrily accused Li Xiaochang.
"King Ngee Ann, what does he want to do?"
"Yan Changshi is an official of the imperial court, in charge of a state soldier, only under the orders of His Majesty, how can he share the military power with the king of Yi'an? What does Ngee Ann want? ”
"Yes, yes, and that Sima Chen Yuanxuan, who joined the army Lu Asi, only knows the order of King Yi'an, where is Your Majesty?"
…………
Listening to the ministers and the ministers begging Li Xiaochang with each word, Li Shimin was even more angry when he heard those words, and shouted straight to the case: "Retreat from the dynasty, and discuss the affairs of the princes of the country."
After that, he flicked his sleeve robe and went to the side hall, and Li Shimin couldn't help but enter the side hall, "Traitors, all traitors, Li Xiaochang, not a son of man."
It wasn't until the eldest grandson Fang Du and other important ministers entered the side hall that Li Shimin calmed down a little, sat on the main seat, and his face was as usual, but his uncalm breathing could be seen that Fang had been angry.
After waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to sit down with a group of important ministers, Li Shimin said bluntly: "King Yi'an is reversed."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji and the others also nodded helplessly, they could guess that there might be five or six out of ten people who came to King Yi'an, and now that Yan Changshi died, it would be reversed.
Li Shimin said again: "Now that the whole territory of Yizhou has been lost, Li Xiao is always opposed, and he can't continue, and within a month, he must be pacified."
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others nodded again, and now another clan prince has raised the anti-flag, if it is not quickly pacified with the momentum of thunder, the influence of the rebels will become greater and greater, and the country will be shaken, and Li Shimin's prestige will be greatly reduced.
"Your Majesty, now the counterinsurgency army in charge of the Youzhou march is being dragged by Luo Yi, although Taiyuan has not started a beacon fire, it cannot withdraw the army, it seems that it is necessary to add more troops and horses, and divide the troops to level it." The eldest grandson Wuji took the lead in saying.
Li Shimin also nodded when he heard this, this is inevitable, "In your opinion, who can lead the army to destroy Wang Junkuo?" Li Shimin asked, on this kind of issue, he has never been dictatorial.
When all the ministers heard this, they all bowed their heads and thought about it, and after a while, they saw a thin figure with a wolf's waist and ape arms, and said arrogantly: "Your Majesty, I will go, within half a month, I will definitely take the head of Wang Junkuo and present it to Your Majesty, that Wang Junkuo is just a pickled thief, who will use soldiers, I will go to capture him."
This person is the prince of Luguo, Junji, and he is also a famous general, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called the little white ape.
Seeing Hou Junji's bold words, Li Shimin also nodded and appreciated, Hou Junji is one of the five people who are ranked first in the same list, and he is also deeply favored by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin thought about it for a while, Wang Junkuo was born as a thief, treacherous and cunning, and he was good at surprising soldiers with soldiers, without the need for upright soldiers, and Hou Junji was unruly, quite similar to Wei Chigong, using soldiers only cares about bravery, brave and brave, it seems that all enemies who come to attack are rubbish, this spirit of daring to show the sword is extremely commendable, but in the face of this treacherous Wang Junkuo, can it really be done? Immediately hesitated.
Fang Xuanling said bluntly: "Your Majesty, General Hou is the pillar of the country, at this time, the smoke is rising in all places, General Hou should not leave Beijing, he should guard the Beijing division and stabilize the army's heart."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Fang Xuanling, who also nodded slightly.
And Hou Junji heard this, how can he hear it is very comfortable, do you hear, my old Hou is the pillar of the country, and he needs to guard the Beijing Division, but then he is also distressed, in this way, he can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but now he can't continue to ask for war, otherwise wouldn't he deny the identity of the pillar of his country, of course, Hou Junji also knows, this is Fang Xuanling's euphemism that he can't send him Hou Junji to go on the expedition, although he complains in his heart, he is helpless, he is not a fool, and he knows when he sees Li Shimin's appearance.
Next, Li Shimin directly assigned: "Sichang, you are the head of the Yizhou marching army, leading 30,000 troops, controlling the Yizhou army, and you must destroy Wang Junkuo's house within a month."
Sichang is Chai Shao, the prince of Huo Guo, Chai Shao is the word Sichang, Chai Shao is also a quite talented general, performing military exploits, using soldiers to complement each other, and having a stable personality, in Li Shimin's view, it should be no problem to deal with Wang Junkuo, but no matter how bad it is, self-protection is more than enough.
Chai Shao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he was overjoyed, the opportunity to make meritorious service had come, and he was busy with thanks.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "In this way, let's disperse, and Sichang will stay."
The eldest grandson Fang Du and the others retreated, leaving Chai Shao with doubts on his face, Li Shimin rubbed his brows and said directly: "Brother-in-law, after arriving in Yizhou, pay more attention to the news in the Cangzhou area of Youzhou."
