The Tang Empire, born in troubled times, is facing a fragmented world. There are as many as three emperors alone, and this doesn't matter Yang Yu, who used to be an emperor and is now the Duke of Xuguo.

There are Turks in the north, as well as Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, and other Turkic puppets. Shandong is in Wagang, and Wang Shichong supports Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as the emperor in Luoyang. In the hands of Yu Wenhua, there is a Qin king Yang Hao who is also called the emperor. With the addition of Li Yuan, the emperor suddenly became worthless.

"Sunset Zhuge Kong clearly said that the world is divided into three parts, and now the world is more than three points. How can Pei Lin give me a Longzhong right? Li Yuan looked at the map of the world, and his brows were about to be twisted together. It's a mess of interests. Don't look at the Li family now sitting in Guanzhong, but if you don't get it right, it will be the end of the death of the clan. In the face of chaos, Li Yuan was as irritable as a tiger.

Li Yuan, as the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was a person who had endured in Jinyang for many years. It has always been his style to plan and then act, but in the face of this messy situation. Li Yuan thought hard for many days, but he couldn't find a way to solve the chaos. Since you can't make a decision, why talk about moving later.

"Your Majesty don't worry, Li Xiaogong has already surrendered Baling City. The city guard of Baling led the whole city to surrender to our army, and Chengdu was already in the pocket of our army a month ago. Chengdu, Baling is all in my hands. There is no force in Shu that can resist our army, and with the money and food of Bashu, my Tang Dynasty will be like a tiger. At least, there is no need to worry about money and food supplies.

For example, although there is chaos today, they are all east of Tongguan. Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Yu Wenhua and others fought together in the Central Plains. Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou and others are just scabies. According to Chen, we just need to protect Jinyang's hometown. It's good not to be taken advantage of by Liu Wuzhou, as for the Central Plains War, let them fight. When they are exhausted, it is a good time for us to send troops to exterminate them one by one.

Now the minister is worried about Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin, who occupies the right side of Long. It is said that it has the power to crack the lion and tiger, and it is extremely brave on the battlefield. His three thousand iron armor were invincible, and even the Turks gave him three points. His Majesty the Sui General Huangfu also recognized it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fierce general. But this person led 20,000 Great Sui elites to fight against Xue Ju, but was defeated by Xue Ju with one blow. Huangfu was beheaded by Xue Ju under the city of Caohan, and the news just came. This person has already been proclaimed emperor in Qinzhou, with the year name Qin Xing, and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If this person is not removed, sooner or later he will invade Guanzhong to the east.

Even if you don't invade Guanzhong, you have to look at Shu. It's hard to guarantee that he won't do anything to Shuzhong, which is rich and has not been destroyed by war. He is a thorn in the back of our Datang, and he should be removed while he is still in his fledgling. Only Datang has no worries and can devote all its strength to the battlefield of the Central Plains in the future. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's difficult to take care of things. ”

Pei Lian's words were also discussed with his staff for several nights before he came to such a conclusion. After Li Yuan listened, his gaze turned from the east side of the map to the right direction of Long.

Since ancient times, Longyou has been sparsely populated, with Qiang people, Han people, as well as Turkic people, Xianbei people, Hu people, and all kinds of savages. The perennial strife has made the folk customs here extremely strong. Xue Ju this guy, Li Yuan also knows. His father, Xue Wang, was originally from Fenyin, Hedong, and migrated to Jincheng, Lanzhou. Xue Ju is burly and majestic, brave and good at shooting. His family has a huge amount of money, and he likes to make friends with the heroes of the border land, and dominates the right side of Long.

As early as the beginning of the year, Xue Ju had already sent his son Xue Rengao to attack Fufeng. Fortunately, he was finally defeated by Li Shimin, who had just arrived in Guanzhong. It can be seen that Xue Ju has a plot against the land of Guanzhong. Pei Lin was right, those guys east of Tongguan were calling around. They all seem to be powerful, but they are not a threat to the emerging Li Tang Dynasty, as long as they hold Tongguan and watch them fight to the death. And this Xue Ju is a big trouble.

"Erlang has been in poor health recently, why don't you go to the west for the prince?" Li Yuan stared at the map of Longyou for a while, and when he raised his head, he had already made up his mind to pull out Longyou's stinger.

"The old minister believes that it is more appropriate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to dispatch grain and straw in the center. As for King Qin, although he is sick. can enable capable officials to assist, like Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan are all talents. King Qin is just sitting in the Chinese army and fighting on behalf of the Son of Heaven. The affairs of military affairs will be handed over to Liu Wenjing, and Yin Kaishan can be done. If the arrogant soldiers brought by Jinyang are allocated to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, they will definitely be able to wipe out Xue Ju in one fell swoop. Pei Lian's keen insight helped him discover the momentary hesitation in Li Yuan's eyes.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan intended to cultivate Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng is the eldest son, and he has been training in Hedong for many years. is a stable person, and in the matter of Li Yuanba, Li Yuan thinks that Li Jiancheng is far more knowledgeable than Li Er, taking care of the overall situation. Therefore, Li Yuan deliberately cultivated Li Jiancheng as his successor. As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng is of course better to stay in Chang'an.

First, Chang'an is far safer than the front line, and second, Li Jiancheng's overall planning ability in central dispatch can be exercised in Chang'an. As for the thing of going into battle to kill the enemy, the fierce Li Yuanba died. Isn't there Li Er and Li Yuanji, where do you need the prince of the country to go into battle to fight and kill. The two brothers are configured one east and one west, and the prince is in the center to coordinate and dispatch, which is the perfect blueprint in Li Yuan's heart.

Pei Lin is known as the roundworm in Li Yuan's stomach, how could he not know the cat in it. The temptation just now was just a test of Pei Lian's position on this matter. Pei Lian, an old fox who has become a spirit, will never make a mistake at this time.

"Hmmm! When it comes to conquest, Erlang is indeed more suitable than the prince. At the beginning of the year, it was he who drove Xue Rengao away and killed thousands of horsemen. This time, let's let Jiro go. You don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy, just sit back. Liu Wenjing is the commander of the army, and Yin Kaishan assists him. Li Yuan saw that Pei Lian's statement was very thoughtful, and he didn't delay it anymore, and immediately made up his mind to fight Xue Ju. After the founding of the Tang Empire, the first major war was about to begin.

Except for Duan Zhixuan, who was still recuperating from his injuries, this time Li Yuan could be said to be elite. Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan, Murong Luohu, Liu Hongji and others are all on the list. Obviously, Li Yuan wanted to finish his work. In order to have a stable rear in the future Central Plains War.

In this uprising, there is no one with the highest military merit than Li Er. Huo Yi fought against Song Laosheng, and Tongguan shot Yu Juluo. The army sent to Chang'an, defeated Li Jing and forced the acting king Yang Yu to surrender. These achievements have made Li Er a dazzling military star. Li Yuan did not treat this son who was accustomed to war, and the hat of the King of Qin was fastened on his head. Kaiya Jianfu Yi is the same as the three divisions, Li Yuanji does not have such pomp. Even, Li Jiancheng's honor guard only has two more flags than Li Er. Now that Li Yuan sent Li Er to deal with Xue Ju, everyone felt that this decision was wise.

Li Er received the military order and did not express any happiness or displeasure, after Li Yuanba's death, Li Er's personality changed a lot. There is less flying and domineering arrogance, and more introverted and calm. The current Li Er and Li Er, who had just strongly recommended Li Yuan to start the incident, do not seem to be the same person. This change affected the whole Qin Palace, because there was no hostess Yang became the first housekeeper of the Qin Palace.

"Your Highness! The little sister has a flying pigeon to pass the book, and the matter of Jinyang has been done. Yun Hao seems to be on the road! The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Er, who was sitting behind the desk with a sad face, and said.

The eldest grandson Wuji has a special status in the Qin Palace, he is not a subordinate official of the Qin Palace, and he does not have any name. But he was in charge of the most confidential affairs of the Qin Palace, such as the flying pigeon biography, which was in his hands.

"It's not that he's on the road, it's just that everyone takes what he needs. Yun Hao is a smart man, slippery and slippery, like a loach. Such a person is better to be a helper. Don't think about getting rid of him, Your Majesty won't agree.

If His Majesty wanted to pursue the matter of Lantian, he would have done so a long time ago. Li Er sighed helplessly, because of the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson Shunde naturally became his person, and the eldest grandson Shunde and Yun Hao had a bad account, and Li Er could only pinch his nose next. Yun Hao's heart eyes are smaller than the nose of a needle, and it is indeed difficult to make him truly reconcile.

"This son's wisdom and martial arts are all the best choices, just look at the soldiers he trained. A few days ago, I went to the barracks to inspect the soldiers, and the soldiers we brought from Jinyang were simply pigsty in the barracks. Look at Yun Hao's soldiers again, not only the military appearance is neat, but the barracks are also clean and terrifying. Check the crossbowman, and shoot eight out of ten within two hundred steps. That's it, that Sheng Yanshi also said that the soldiers were lazy, and he went back to train Yunyun well.

It's not a boast of other people's soldiers, our soldiers are already good in three or four out of ten. More than a dozen people shot at a target two hundred paces away, but there was not a single bare arrow on the target. Seeing this, I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. This time, His Majesty just sent these fools to His Highness, and His Highness should be careful in this battle. ”

Li Er smiled, picked up a piece of jade pendant and played with it: "The soldiers brought by that kid are indeed good, and it is normal for my father to use them to defend the Jingshi." Although the soldiers we brought are not as good as others, they are also brought from Jinyang's hometown. Killed all the way, and he can be regarded as a proud soldier. This is incomparable to those women's soldiers who have never seen blood.

Besides, this time, I only brought my eyes and ears. I didn't plan to go with my mouth, but I saw my father yesterday. My father said that if he was sick, he would go to the army to recuperate. The affairs of military affairs should be handed over to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan. Since my father said so, it's not good for me to interfere too much in military affairs.

But that's not bad, and I have the credit for winning and being the manager. If you lose, you lose. Anyway, the pot is on Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan! ”

"Why is Your Highness so depressed?" The eldest grandson Wuji was suddenly startled, is this person in front of him still the same Li Shimin who is the first to be the first in everything, brave and combative?

"What if you can fight? The third brother is a brave general, but what is the end of the game? There must be sacrifices to conquer the world, and I think the first thing they sacrifice is flesh and blood. Don't look at the use of me today, let me lead the soldiers to fight in the east and west. But I'm just a knife in their hands, and it's good that it's sharp. If you use it bluntly, it will grind, and if you grind too much, it will break.

Lone doesn't want to be a knife, Lone's prince is bought with blood, and Lone is the one who holds the knife. The more Li Er spoke, the more excited he became, and with a "click", the jade pendant that he was playing with between his fingers was actually pinched in half.

"Your Highness is cautious!" The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were shining, and he immediately bowed down.

"Mowgli, don't worry, it's not crazy. If it weren't for the operator, sooner or later Lone would be another third. Do you want to see that result? Li Er threw away the jade pendant in his hand that was shattered in half, and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who was kneeling on the ground.

"The minister and His Royal Highness have a friendship of kinship, and the minister is willing to die for His Highness." The eldest grandson Wuji knelt on the ground without even raising his head.

"Get up, Mowgli! If I didn't believe you, Lone wouldn't have said this today. You just remember the same, loneliness will not fail you. Li Er turned the table and pulled up the eldest grandson Wuji on the ground.

"Your ......! There is no word to clear the will, only this heart and earth to learn together. ”

"Your Highness, do you want to take this opportunity to talk to Your Majesty about Li Jing's matter. This person is a rare general, and it is a pity to kill him like this. "Eldest Sun Wuji knows when to change the topic, Li Er's mind can't go on, at least now is not the time.

"This Li Jing, if his father wants to make an accident, he will go to tell the whistle. Now he is imprisoned in the prison by his father, and the last time he talked to his father about it, his father gritted his teeth. The most annoying thing is the East Palace, ignoring such a talent, and only knowing how to meet his father and emperor. The prince even blatantly said that there was no need to wait for the autumn queen to immediately open the knife and behead. Speaking of Li Jing, Li Er was helpless and angry.

This goods is just unclear, Li Yuan started an incident in Jinyang. You kid is not an official of the imperial court, and it is your bird business. I used you to rush to report the news, but Qu Tutong surrendered and told Li Yuan the truth as it was. was so angry that Li Yuan immediately issued an order to arrest Li Jing and put him in the prison, and waited for the autumn queen to open the knife and behead him.

Li Er admonished Li Yuan several times, but was blocked back by the angry Li Yuan. Even, Li Er was already desperate for this matter. Now that the eldest grandson Wuji mentioned it, Li Er could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.

"Your Highness, this is a different time. Since you want Your Highness to go on the expedition, you can't ask everyone to push back. If Li Jing knew that His Highness was so difficult to get him out today, would he still be disloyal to His Highness in the future? Taking advantage of the opportunity of this expedition, His Majesty Yuming said that Li Jing should be guilty of meritorious service. It is expected that Your Majesty will not embarrass His Highness because of this person. ”

"Hmmm! This is a method, and people like Li Jing can still use it. Not to mention anything else, the battle of Yongfeng Cang. Although Li Jing was defeated, Li Jing's army was not chaotic in the face of defeat. The divisions covered each other and retreated in an orderly manner.

On this battlefield, it is difficult to win the battle. Defeating the battle is even more difficult. An army like this that is defeated but not chaotic, defeated but not dispersed. It's the first time I've seen Lonely, and I know the whole leopard at a glance, Li Jing's ability is indeed good. It's a pity that such a person is killed, just as you said tomorrow, when you worship the general, you will ask your father to send this person. ”
