Chapter 48 The snowy night rushes to Lingzhou

Li Jiancheng has been very confused recently, it is said that he has just put down the rebellion in Hedong, and Li Yuan should be rewarded for his feelings. However, it was not until now that Li Jiancheng discovered that in addition to getting the name of a prison state, the power in his hands had not increased, and his subordinate Wei Ting was beaten to death by his subordinate Diao Nu, and was caught by Wannian County's acting county commander Wan Ji, and was ready to be beheaded.

Wei Ting went to Quan Wanji's mansion to plead for mercy, but was sued by Quan Wanji and brought to Li Yuan, and Wei Ting was removed from his official position and demoted to a concubine.

This made Li Jiancheng very incomprehensible, according to the traditional rules, only the crown prince can live in the palace, and the other princes must move outside the palace when they become adults. But Li Tang was very different from the other founding dynasties. It was not Li Yuan alone who laid the foundation for the founding of the country, but Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, and Li Xiuning's father and son. This kind of state-building feature is unprecedented in history, and of course, in the distribution of interests, the founding kings of the Tang Dynasty also enjoyed great power.

All in all, in addition to the crown prince Li Jiancheng who lives in the East Palace, Li Shimin lives in the Chengqian Hall in the imperial city, and now after Li Yuanji returns to Chang'an, he has been staying in the Wude Palace. The key is that in addition to the Li Tang court, Li Jiancheng's crown prince's order, Qin King Li Shimin's Qin Wang Sect, Qi King Li Yuanji's Qi Wang Sect, including Li Xiuning's Pingyang Princess Sect (Pingyang Princess is treated the same as the prince) and Li Yuan's edict in parallel, and at the same time issued many orders, which made the early Tang Dynasty court and various ministries very confused. In order to avoid favoritism, departments and departments usually decide on a prioritization basis. Of course, even if there is a first and a last, it depends on whose disciple this is, the disciples of King Qi will definitely not implement the Qin Wang Sect, and the Qin Wangmen will not carry out the prince's order.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the situation of Wang Sima sharing the world was created, and in the early Tang Dynasty, in fact, politics was implemented by Li Yuan, King Qin, Prince, and King Qi of the world. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Jiancheng had to strengthen Li Shimin's power and let Li Shimin fight Li Jiancheng because of his meritorious contribution to the formulation of the Tang Dynasty national policy and the maintenance of the northern defense line, and Li Jiancheng's friendship with the Shandong aristocratic group and the Guanlong aristocratic group.

However, after Li Shimin destroyed Wang Shichong's forces, his power began to swell, and Li Yuan began to favor Li Jiancheng's party again.

In politics, there is never an action for no reason. In fact, Li Jiancheng felt that something was wrong from Wei Ting's rapid demotion. Wannian County Commander Quan Wanji is not Li Shimin's person (not at this time), but he actually impeached Wei Ting because of a trivial matter, which surprised Li Jiancheng.

It was only Wei Ting's domestic slave who beat people to death, although the discipline of the door was not strict, Wei Ting had an unshirkable responsibility, but in the law of this era, Wei Ting only needed to severely punish the house slaves, compensate the funeral expenses of the deceased, and be harsher, and double the penalty copper could be solved, and there was no need to dismiss the official.

After Wei Ting was dismissed, he told Li Jiancheng about the prophecy that Yuan Tiangang gave him, and now that Yuan Tiangang's prophecy to Wei Ting has been fulfilled, it will be the turn of the crown prince Zhongyun Wang Lian immediately. Once Wang Lian is demoted, the grass on the wall that looks at the direction of the wind will fall into the ground, and then Li Jiancheng will fall into a very passive territory.

After learning the reason for Li Jiancheng, Chen Ying somewhat understood what Li Jiancheng meant. Li Jiancheng actually just sought psychological comfort from Yuan Tiangang.

Li Jiancheng needs to determine whether this is Wei Ting's personal life, or if Li Yuan has launched a new suppression of the Donggong family. Especially Chen Ying, who made such a great contribution to the battle of Hedong, was actually deprived of military power and became a squire of the Ministry of Works, which made Li Jiancheng inexplicably uneasy, if Chen Ying is counted, the East Palace has already folded two generals in a row, which can't help but Li Jiancheng doesn't pay attention to.

"There is a saying that this palace has endured for a long time and has not asked you!" Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said solemnly: "Tell me, are you really willing to be a waiter in the Ministry of Works?" Don't you feel that returning to Lingzhou will make more achievements in Lingzhou? ”

If Li Jiancheng still had some scruples in the past, now he decided to fight back. Lingzhou is under the rule of Li Daozong, Li Daozong and Li Shimin are closer, and Lingzhou is in the hands of Li Daozong, which is actually equivalent to Li Shimin's hands, which makes Li Jiancheng inexplicably uneasy. If Li Jiancheng withstands the pressure and uses the crown prince to order the world to be clear, he can appoint Chen Ying as the head of the Lingzhou Soldiers and Horses, and with Chen Ying's prestige in Lingzhou and the old department of the Dingyuan Army, he is fully capable of overthrowing Li Daozong.

Chen Ying was slightly stunned, and thought to himself: "Is the situation between the DPRK and China so fierce now?" Chen Ying bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the door is the head of His Royal Highness the Prince......

Li Jiancheng's carriage left Chang'an City and began to jolt. Li Jiancheng said: "Although Li Daozong is a master of the clan, he is a county guard (assassin history), and he governs a happy land, he has this ability, if he blocks the Turks and Liang Shidu alone, he is still a little worse." There is no Chen Qing in Lingzhou, and it is difficult to sleep in this palace. ”

……

In fact, as Li Jiancheng expected. Although Li Daozong carried out Li Yuan's plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea, he led the four Zhechong Mansions to cross Helan Mountain, detour to Mobei, and prepare for a surprise attack on Li Rail. Li Liang didn't know anything about Li Daozong's movements.

However, Liang Shidu has been paying close attention to the movements in Lingzhou. As early as half a month after Li Daozong left, Liang Shidu received accurate news that Li Daozong led the Dingyuan Army to four main forces of the Chong Mansion and left Lingzhou without knowing where to go.

At the beginning, Liang Shidu was still worried that Li Daozong led the Dingyuan Army to four fine iron Zhiqi Mansion and six thousand elite soldiers, ready to attack him. At this time, the Liang division, who lost most of Xiazhou, was also in a bad mood, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. However, after waiting for half a month, he did not wait for Li Daozong's strange soldiers, but waited for the news that Li Daozong attacked Li Rail.

This made Liang Shidu overjoyed, and hurriedly summoned his generals Xin Fang'er, Li Zhengbao, Feng Duan, Liu Min, He Sui, Suo Zhou, Liang Luoren and other generals to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Min was originally the governor of Xia, but since Lu Jilan's death, there was no one available under Liang Shidu, so he was promoted to replace Lu Jilan as Shangshu. Liu Min was originally a strong man in Xiazhou, although he had some knowledge, but he looked forward to it, and he took the lead in raising objections: "Your Majesty, could this be a trap?" ”

Master Liang walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. Liang Shidu secretly thought, this may be this possibility, now in the battle of Hedong, the Turks lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, almost all the troops under the command of Mo Hedushi were wiped out, and the Levosher was so frightened that he fled to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and at this time the Monan Turks did not have many troops at all.

However, Liu Wuzhou was dead under the protection of the Turks, and if the Liang division was allowed to perish, it would be a major disaster for the Turks. Once the Liang division is surrounded, the Turks will save them at all costs, no matter how difficult it is. The Turks are good at cavalry raids, and they get information from the siege to the Turks, unless Li Daozong has the ability to capture Yanzhou within a month, otherwise the Turkic army will come to help, and Li Daozong can only retreat.

What Liu Min said is not impossible.

At this time, Liang Luoren got up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, my brother is not talented, and he led 8,000 troops to set foot in Lingzhou." ”

At this time, the wind was blowing fiercely, and it was snowing heavily.

Liang Shidu was overjoyed and said: "This is God helping me!" ”

Heavy snow can hide the traces of the army's dispatch, especially the Liang division has seen Chen use a white cloak to cover the movement of the troops, and the Liang division decided to follow Chen Ying's example, all wearing white cloaks, and attacking in the snow.

Liang Shidu issued an edict, with Liang Luoren as the marshal of the marching soldiers and horses, Xin Fang'er and Li Zhengbao as the left and right commanders, led 8,000 troops, and took advantage of the heavy snow to attack Lingzhou.
