Chapter 2 Murder by the Sword

"Turkic attack?"

In Li Yuan's study, Li Yuan's most trusted advisers were concentrated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Pei Lonely, all the way the horses patted Liu Wenjing on the top. Sima Xu Shixu of Yingyang Mansion, and then there is Tang Jian, a native of Bingzhou.

Tang Jian's father, Rongzhou Assassin Shi Tang Jian, is Li Yuan's old friend, and he stuffed his son to Li Yuan. This Tang Jian has a sharp tongue and extremely quick thinking. He was willing to actively participate in Li Yuan's rebellion, and soon became the backbone of Li Yuan's rebellion group.

"Liu Wenjing, you have only been to Turkia in the spring. Didn't you tell the Turks that they wouldn't make a mistake? How can you suddenly offend the side? "On Li Yuan's side, Liu Wenjing has always been in charge of liaison with the Turks. Liu Wenjing is a sleek guy who does things like a yo-yo. No one can scratch it, and it is most appropriate to send him to do it. Moreover, Liu Wenjing has also done it successfully. The Turks had not been around Li Yuan's defense area for several years.

"The Turks have been quiet lately, and in the spring I met Shibi Khan. Shibi Khan is already old, and now most of the affairs of the Turkic king's account are handled by Shibi Khan's younger brother Chu Luo. He promised well, and his subordinates didn't know why, so the Turks changed. Liu Wenjing was also very helpless. The Turks are like that, and what they promised today may change tomorrow. These guys on the grassland believe in sabers and force, and Xinyi is worthless and can be used as a fart.

"The Turks have always been unfaithful, and Liu Wenjing cannot be blamed for this matter. Now let's look like a way to see how to deal with this. We can neither offend the Turks, nor allow the court to catch our handles. As soon as Pei Lian, who had the best relationship with Li Yuan, said this, Liu Wenjing immediately cast a grateful look.

"Where has the saint's boat gone?" Li Yuan suddenly asked, as long as Yang Guang does not leave the Yellow River. The influence of the Great Sui on the northern states and counties is still there.

"It's not far from Luoyang, and I haven't entered the canal yet. Thousands of half-naked women are dragging tall dragon boats on this river, the hairpin rings jingling, all dressed up, and the pace also needs to be neat, "the so-called water does not make waves", the woman dragging the dragon boat can not let the cup full of water on the dragon boat make a little wave, if it makes waves, it will behead the woman carrying the flag in front. Pei Lin sighed, the country was in turmoil. The saint is so extravagant, the sky will not die in the Great Sui, and the people will also die in the Great Sui.

"Oh, let's not talk about saints. Tell me what to do with the Turks. Ma Yi guarded Wang Rengong's urging three times a day, and if there was no support for him, he would not be able to hold it. Li Yuan felt that the topic was a little crooked by himself, and hurriedly pulled it back to the proper track.

"The Turks must not be offended at this time, and the saint is far away from Guanzhong. The situation is delicate, and it is time to wait and see what happens. In case of a critical moment, the Turks suddenly dragged their feet, wouldn't it be a front and back attack, and there would be no way to retreat. "Liu Wenjing has always been in contact with the Turks, and he is most opposed to fighting with the Turks. Isn't it just to grab something, grab some population, grab it. The great cause of the rebellion and the future high-ranking officials are a hundred times more important than those untouchables.

"But the saint is not far away, and Mayi is an important town. If he was really captured by the Turks, the saint would definitely blame his father. If the saint sent someone to lock it at that time, it would really be difficult to ride a tiger. Li Er glanced at Liu Wenjing and expressed his worries.

The people in the room were silent, and this matter was a little difficult to do. Now it is obviously too late to send Liu Wenjing to envoy to the Turks. If it is really a fight, it hurts the Turks. The traditional friendship, all these years of gifts, have been in vain. provoked the Turkic army, and with Li Yuan's little strength, he couldn't hold the entire territory of Shanxi at all.

Li Yuan looked at the people in the room irritably, when his eyes fell on Tang Jian's face. found that Tang Jian always wanted to speak and stopped, he was young and the last to join this group of people. So many times, it's not easy to rush to say something. This man is a shrewd thief, and he knows how to hide at a young age.

"Tang Jian, what do you claim?" Since this kid doesn't say it, then Li Yuan can only point out. On weekdays, this kid has a lot of ideas, and Li Yuan thinks he should have some good ideas.

"Uh......! The younger generation thought that they should send troops to support Ma Yi and fight against the Turks. As soon as Tang Jian said this, everyone in the room gasped. When young people speak, they are not afraid of the wind and flash their tongues. The Turks could easily gather 100,000 iron cavalry, but Li Yuan now only had 30,000 soldiers in his hands.

The failure of the three expeditions to Goryeo caused the thriving Great Sui Dynasty to fall into a trough in an instant. The government soldiers in Li Yuan's hands were also emptied by the imperial court. These 30,000 people were retained because they wanted to suppress the popular uprising in Shanxi and prevent the Turks.

With these 30,000 people fighting the Turks, it is tantamount to hitting an egg on a stone.

"Humph!" Liu Wenjing didn't bother to argue with Tang Jian, and snorted heavily in her nose, just thinking that this kid was farting. Pei Lian's face was not good, but Li Er looked at Tang Jian expectantly.

"Princes, don't be impatient! Let's listen to Tang Jian's words!

This time, the Turks sent troops, and it is not known how many troops they attacked. Sending troops to support had only three results. Win, defeat, and hold. In fact, our army is to be outside the city gates. So, even if it's a stalemate, we win.

However, in this battle, it is not appropriate for the prince to lead the troops in person. Not only the grandfather of the country, but even the second master and everyone here can't go. When Tang Jian said this, he smiled and began to sell Guanzi.

"If you don't go, I won't go. Do you want Wang Wei and Gao Junya to ......! Liu Wenjing stopped talking halfway. The eyes of everyone in the room lit up!

Wang Wei and Gao Junya were Yang Guang's confidants, and they were sent to win. Li Yuan is left behind, and naturally he has the greatest credit. Lost, hehe! The battle was fought by your henchmen, and if you want to deal with Gao Junya and Wang Wei, you can't run away. If he wanted to deal with Li Yuan with a heavy hand, Yang Guang had to kill his two dogs first.

Don't suffer inside and out, clever plan! What a brilliant idea!

"But if you do this, I'm afraid that Wang Wei and Gao Junya will shirk it." Pei Lin thought for a while and said. Wang Wei and Gao Junya have been mixed up to this day, and they are not hairy children who don't understand anything. This kind of meritorious service is someone else's, and how can they not see through it when they carry the black pot themselves?

"Grandpa Guo has two major tasks in Jinyang, the most important of which is naturally to suppress the popular uprising in Shanxi. Mayi is in the north of Shanxi, if there is a civil uprising in the southwest of Shanxi, then ...... You say, is Grandpa Guo going to suppress the popular rebellion? Or are you going to fight the Turks? Tang Jian said presence.

"But there is no popular uprising in the southeast of Shanxi!" Xu Shixu said helplessly.

"Yes, as long as Grandpa Guo wants to have it, then it can be had." Tang Jian looked at Li Yuan and said with a smile.

"That's a good plan!" Li Yuan stroked his beard and laughed. Li Jiancheng is active in Hedong all year round, and the southwest of Shanxi is close to Hedong. It's easy to get something done. Moreover, this is not a real rebellion. As long as he makes a noise, Li Yuan will have a reason to send troops. Compared with fighting the Turks, it is more important to suppress the civil uprising in Shanxi. After all, the Turks snatched it and left, and these Diao people wanted the lives and land of the nobles.

"Grandpa Guo might as well allocate more soldiers and horses to Wang Wei and Gaojunya, so that they have nothing to say. Didn't Lord Xu say that many of the lieutenants below listened to the orders of Gao Junya and Wang Wei? Well, this time the military exploits of the battle with the Turks will be set up. Tang Jian's smile was even more sinister. This trick will send thousands of soldiers into the tiger's mouth.

Pei Lin secretly said that this kid is so ruthless, this strategy is a bit poisonous. This is to take the hands of the Turks and eradicate dissidents! Even if these people come back alive, a charge of losing their teachers and humiliating the country can clean them up.

"Moreover, Grandpa Guo can use this matter as an excuse. Open Recruitment! The military disaster in Shanxi was serious and needed to be suppressed by a large number of soldiers. Even if the imperial court wants to stay in difficulty, at most it will deduct some from the salary. As long as the court recognizes that we can recruit troops by ourselves, then these soldiers will be in the hands of the grandfather. Tang Jian clenched his fists, and Li Yuan's eyes brightened.

The right to open conscription is the most important condition for rebellion. As long as there is an army that has always been completely obedient to itself, it is possible to achieve hegemony in troubled times.

"Good! Tang Jian, you take the first credit for this matter. After this incident, Li Yuan looked at Tang Jian differently. Li Er's eyes were also shining, and this ghost idea was originally only Yun Hao could come up with. Unexpectedly, there was such a person around my father. I'll want to get closer to you in the future!

Li Yuan's plan was decided, so he sent a messenger to secretly contact Li Jiancheng in Hedong. Let him make trouble as fast as he can, just to make it bigger. At the same time, Liu Wenjing was sent to the Turks. With many gifts in hand, Liu Wenjing's mission is naturally not for peace. Instead, he begged the Turks not to withdraw their troops casually and beat Gao Junya and Wang Wei severely.

Yun Hao listened to Li Er's narration and shook his head helplessly. is another black-hearted and ruthless guy, and he is skilled in playing politics and people. But he forgot that there were still hundreds of thousands of people in Mayi. Once the Turks broke through the city, it would be terrible. Yun Hao understood that there were few really good people in Li Yuan's hands.

But now apart from a sigh, Yun Hao couldn't do anything. People are self-aware, and turning the tide is not something that they can do.

What Yun Hao has to worry about now is a fat man who is about to break through three hundred pounds and reach the limit of human beings.

Li Chengpeng, Li Shentong's eldest son. As Li Shentong's eldest son, he has placed almost all of Li Shentong's hopes on him. Unexpectedly, this guy has been obese since he was a child. When I grow up to puberty, I am even more out of control.

The flesh on his face drooped downward, much like a Shar Pei. There are three layers of chin and three folded meat rings hanging from the neck, how did this thing come to be in the summer? The wrist does not see the joints at all, and the white flesh tightly wraps the joints inside. The whole hand resembles a pig's claw, with the nails wrapped in the flesh. Looking at this fat man with a waist circumference about the same height, Yun Hao sighed deeply, is this fucking human?

This product goes to shoot Transformers, and it is estimated that there is no need for makeup. Yun Hao finally knew what kind of hot potato he had taken over.

It doesn't matter, there are a few fat people all over Europe who haven't lost weight in the concentration camps. All of them are like skin, Lao Tzu came like a Nazi concentration camp. Toss you for half a year, but to see if you will fall off the scale.

"Brother Yun, brother, the more than 200 catties will be handed over to you." Li Chengpeng walked up to Yun Hao with difficulty, stretched out a pig's trotter and patted Yun Hao's shoulder.

Yun Hao was very suspicious, the scale of this goods was only two hundred catties.

"Brother Chengpeng, I guess General Shentong has already told you. This time you will lose weight, but you will have to suffer a little. Little brother has prepared a recipe for you here, and you can only eat according to this every day. Yun Hao handed a piece of paper to Li Chengpeng.

"A bowl of gruel, a steamed bun, and a pickle ...... each meal!" Li Chengpeng muttered in his mouth as he watched.

"Brother, your Yun family's food will never disappoint your brother. It's just that this steamed bun, porridge, and pickles, should they be eaten before or after a meal? Li Chengpeng blinked his innocent little eyes and looked at Yun Hao sincerely.

Yun Hao also looked at him, and there were 10,000 *** galloping by in his heart.

It's always very easy for those in power to do something. Especially when these things are related to people, it is easier and easier.

A group of tax collectors were attacked on their way to the countryside to collect taxes, and not only were they robbed of the collected taxes. Even the tax collectors were killed and wounded more than a dozen people, and they were in some places where they were in the party. Officials don't dare to go out, as long as they go out, they will be beaten. The wife of the county magistrate, in the courtyard of the county government, was hit with a brick. His head was broken and bleeding, and he looked miserable.

The place was not quiet, and Li Yuan was furious. Summoned Gao Junya and Wang Wei to discuss!

"Both of them are the ministers of the sage, and now Shanxi is not very peaceful. Here is a war report from Mayi, and Wang Rengong reported that the Turks had attacked Mayi. Now Wang Rengong is refusing to defend the city, and he wants to go to Mayi in person. But you see, Changzhi and Shangdang have had a popular uprising again.

The imperial court sent its own princes here, and the first task was to suppress the popular uprising. The second is that according to the Turks, they are outside the country, but Mayi is located in a key position. It must not fall into the hands of the Turks, so I invite you two to come today. I was thinking about whether the two of them could work hard and go to Ma Yi to help Wang Rengong defend Ma Yi. With a bow and crossbow, defend the fortified city. There is a lot of grain and grass in the city, and the Turks came the same way, and they will naturally retreat if they can't hold out for a few days. I wonder what the two of them think? ”

Gao Junya and Wang Wei glanced at each other, Li Yuan's proposal was almost impossible for them to refuse. No matter how favored he is, he is still Li Yuan's subordinate. Li Yuan wants to go to Changzhi Shangdang and other places to deal with the popular uprising, so they can only go north to fight the Turks.

"The Turks are powerful, and with our current strength, I'm afraid it will ......!" Wang Wei said with some embarrassment.

"Now there are 30,000 soldiers in Jinyang, you can take 20,000. For the rest, the national government took it to Changzhi Shangdang to suppress the rebellion. You also understand, our Jinyang is just these family backgrounds. Li Yuan spread his hands and was helpless.

"In this way, follow the orders of the grandfather of the country." 30,000 people gave himself 20,000, and Wang Wei had a bottom in his heart. It is impossible to defeat the Turks with 20,000 men, but it is not a problem to resist the city and defend it until the Turks withdraw their troops.

"Grandpa Guo, you take the soldiers to the party for a long time. Wang Wei took the soldiers north to Mayi, and the soldiers and horses had not moved the grain and grass. It is better for Gao to be in Jinyang and raise grain and grass for the Guogong and Gao to prepare for military supplies. "Among Wang Wei and Gao Junya, Wang Wei is a military general, and Gao Junya is a civil servant. Gao Junya kept an eye on it, Jinyang wants the capital of Shanxi, and he must definitely be under his own surveillance.

"Uh......! Okay, just rely on the high man. ”
