In the second half of the Thirteenth Year of the Great Cause, the forces of rebels from all walks of life in the world gradually became clear.
The most powerful one is obviously Li Yuan. He raised troops from Taiyuan, swept through the Jin area, marched into Chang'an, proclaimed himself the prime minister, recounted the crimes of Sui Emperor Yang Guang, established the acting king Yang You as the emperor, held the emperor in power, ordered the princes, and then appeased the princes again.
The Sui officials in Shu surrendered in defiance of the wind and took possession of the land of Bashu without any bloodshed.
At this point, Li Yuan was well-equipped with soldiers and food, and he also had a great reputation. Among the rebel officials at the end of the Sui Dynasty, no one except Yang Xuangan could compare with him.
In the northwest, Li Gui, King of the Great Liang, occupied Liangzhou. After several years of management, he recruited the Qiang people and Turkic rebel generals, appeased the people, and designated most of the Hexi Corridor as his own territory.
If we talk about military strength alone, Northwest Li Gui should be the leader among them all.
The rich man Xue Ju, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in July. He occupied most of Longyou, and his territory gradually bordered on Li Gui, so he fought with Li Gui and was beaten by Li Gui.
.
Xue Ju, who was connected to the Turks in the north, had no advantage over Li Gui's Xiliang cavalry.
He had Turks to support him, and Li Gui was on good terms with the Qiang tribes in the northwest. His family had a huge fortune and bought many horses from the Turks. Li Gui directly occupied the Xiliang racecourse.
In addition, all the tribes in the northwest and the tribes affiliated with the Turks in the northwest have submitted to Li Gui's command. He has many civilized and military men under his command, many intelligent men, and the sharpness of his soldiers is something that few in the world can match.
After meeting Li Gui in a battle, he was almost knocked to the ground by Li Gui and lost a lot of territory. From then on, Xue Ju did not dare to send his troops westward again.
In the northwest, there is also Liang Shi, the emperor of the Turks, who is entrenched in Yulin. This is the guy who has the closest connection between the northwest and the Turks.
The rest of the place.
Wang Shichong and Li Mi in Henan were at loggerheads. It also made Li Yuan feel like he was in trouble, because there was no Henan. No matter in Jin or Guanxi, the transportation roads were not so smooth. They were always threatened by the Henan rebels.
Furthermore, without the Eastern Capital, no matter how large the territory was, it would still be missing a very important link, because it was also a place that could become the foundation of the emperor.
In the Lianghuai River, there are Du Fuwei and Pu Gongtuo in the east, and Zhu Can in the west.
Jiangnan is Xiao Xian and Lin Shihong.
Except for one Xu Yuanlang who was still struggling, the rest of Shandong belonged to Dou Jiande. In the winter of the 13th year of Daye, Dou Jiande defeated Wei Daoer and entrenched himself in southern Hebei. His territory was not small, but his territory was in tatters.
People value him too much, which is also a very important reason.
And the name Li Po and Li Ding'an gradually became louder.
He occupied the three counties of Daizhou and sent troops to Youzhou. He killed Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou. It can be said that he suddenly emerged in the 13th year of Daye and threatened many people.
But to be honest, after the thirteen years of Daye's series of battles, Li Po's life began to become more comfortable.
The threat in the north of Youzhou has suddenly been reduced a lot. Unless the Turkic Dongfang Khan leads his army southward, the Khitans will no longer dare to spy on Youzhou.
Dou Jiande in the south got Li Mi's promise and was no longer so eager to attack Youzhou. Of course, if the Heng'an Town Army hadn't had so many cavalry, Dou Jiande wouldn't have had the patience to stay in the south.
Li Yuan, who had occupied Chang'an, finally heard the news, so in October, the emperor's edict finally reappeared in Mayi.
Li Po was formally appointed as the commander-in-chief of Daizhou's march, in charge of the military and political power of Yanmen, Loufan and Mayi counties.
Li Po's official position has risen like a triple jump in the past few months.
Especially the position of Commander-in-Chief of Daizhou March. According to the rules, this is a position that is established during wartime. Now Li Po is an exception. It has a permanent feel. In this way, it is almost equivalent to the position of Commander-in-Chief of Daizhou.
.
Generally speaking, during a war, the person who leads the army temporarily assumes the position of general manager, and after the war, he will step down from the position. It is similar in nature to the general manager of Youzhou, and neither of them can be held by human ministers.
Previously, Luo Yi proclaimed himself the general manager of Youzhou, which was actually equivalent to a rebellion.
Now Li Po has been appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Daizhou's March, but no foreign enemies have invaded. This obviously has a strong sense of appeasement, and there is no title, title, or anything like that. As such a smooth Commander-in-Chief of Daizhou's March, Li Po has been the leader since ancient times.
The only one.
Of course, no matter how you say it, with the edict, Li Po's position as the general manager of Daizhou's march can be regarded as legitimate, especially since Li Yuan has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, Li Po has accepted the official position of the Sui Dynasty.
This is very important. Holding such an important position between the old and the new is his capital. No matter how things change in the future, he has served as the commander-in-chief of the Daizhou March. As a commander-in-chief along the way, he is one step ahead of others in terms of qualifications.
step.
The news reached Li Po of Zhuo County. Li Po took a look and didn't pay much attention. According to his idea, if you have soldiers these days, you are the Caotou King. If you don't make me, the general manager of Daizhou's march, after returning to Yunnei,
It cannot escape the three counties of Daizhou.
In particular, he angrily thought that if you made me the general manager, what was the point? You needed food but no food, and you needed reinforcements but no reinforcements, so you dismissed me with an official position. You are so embarrassed.
Fortunately, Wen Yanbo was talking to him about something, so he saw the edict and asked.
I heard that the edict was from the emperor of Chang'an who was kicked to the throne by Li Yuan, and appointed the man in front of me as the general manager of Daizhou's march.
My hands trembled, and my head immediately felt a little dizzy.
Is it the acting commander-in-chief of the marching army, or is it a permanent one? Is this going to make him a king?
But he began to congratulate subconsciously, "Congratulations, General. Congratulations, General, for being awarded such an important position. Your future will be limitless."
Li Po glanced at him sideways, looking at his appearance as if he was suffering from epilepsy, and thought to himself, you are so excited, you are not being promoted to a noble rank, how can you do it? You are really a bumpkin.
Rolling his eyes, he asked, "How high is the acting governor of the state? We were temporarily acting as the marching steward of the state before. Isn't it much different from this one?"
He is truly a country bumpkin.
Wen Yanbo almost spit out a mouthful of blood when he asked in one sentence, but he had to explain to Li Po the official system of the Sui Dynasty.
It is not unusual for the generals of the Sui Dynasty to march all the way to take charge of the army, but it is different in the border areas, especially in places like Daizhou and Youzhou. The major enemies they face are northern Turks.
According to past precedents, the person in charge of the army marching in Daizhou must be a general of the imperial court. Previously, General Shi Wansui, Duke Jingwu of Chu State Yang Su and others all held this position concurrently.
There is no one who is not a famous person.
At the end of the sentence, Wen Yanbo sighed in his heart, if there was no chaos in the world, how could a young boy like you be allowed to occupy this position? This is more of a joke than Luo Yi's self-proclaimed general manager of Youzhou.
Because Luo Yi is a traitor, how about you? He invaded Youzhou in the name of the general manager of Daizhou. In fact, he is very similar to Luo Yi. They are both rebels.
He was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of Daizhou's march.
Compared with you, Luo Yi's luck is not the least bit worse.
Li Po was stunned for a moment by what others said, and after feeling the taste, he finally understood a little bit, as if he had taken a big advantage?
In fact, Wen Yanbo didn't need to explain it in such detail. Yun Nei's subsequent letters caught up with him only one day later.
The reason why there is such a time difference is funny.
When it came, it was good news. Li Bi didn't even think about what kind of material her husband was, so she ordered someone to deliver the news first.
Secondly, along with the edict came a private letter written by Li Xiuning to Li Po.
Thanks to Li Po for his help, he not only made this friend in vain, but also told Li Po about the situation in Beijing, so that he could rest assured that he would not have too many worries at the border of Daizhou. Don't forget at all times that Beijing
There is also a close friend who will run for him.
After Li Bi saw it, she almost got angry. Li Po kept it a secret. Until now, she thought Li Wu led the troops to Chang'an to rescue her father. She didn't expect it...
In a rage of jealousy, if Li Bi hadn't been injured, she might have braved the wind and snow to come to Youzhou to settle the score with this guy.
There is no doubt that Li Xiuning's letter was naturally withheld by Li Bi.
But some of what Li Xiuning said in the letter was quite reasonable, especially regarding the post of Daizhou Marching Commander, which dissatisfied some people in Xijing and Taiyuan, and asked Li Po to be more careful.
She had sold all her brothers at once, and those who were dissatisfied in the capital were naturally the heroes who followed Li Yuan to the capital.
After a round of rewards, a guy far away from the frontier actually cut a very tempting cake. Who can be satisfied? They are not satisfied, so the two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, who are representatives, are naturally not satisfied either.
If those in Chang'an were just a little resentful, then the Duke of Qi, Li Yuanji, who was in Taiyuan, was the most dissatisfied.
The two states of Bingdai are closely related to each other, and there is also a saying in the court that there is a generation without a merger, and there is a saying that there is no generation.
What does this mean? If the acting governor is established, then there is no point in setting up the combined governor's office, and vice versa.
With a marching commander in Daizhou, his plan as the governor of Taiyuan and the commander-in-chief of Jin Bingzhou may be blocked.
In particular, Li Yuanji, who was watching his two elder brothers fight with his father, made many military exploits, and had more and more men under his command, and who had grown up, was naturally very anxious.
In the past, it was fine. He didn't care about the governor of Mayi, but now, Li Yuanji really had a problem in his throat.
Li Xiuning didn't say it clearly, but this was exactly what she wanted to reveal in her letter.
Speaking of which, the two women had a good view of the overall situation. Li Bi understood it, and immediately hid Li Xiuning's letter, taking all the meaning in it as his own, and wrote a long letter to Li Po, catching up with the first.
Sent to Youzhou.
(Monthly ticket, monthly ticket, I ran all day yesterday and drank some wine in the evening. When I got home, I just wanted to fall asleep, but I remembered that I couldn’t stop updating, so I had to force myself to code a chapter. Today, my whole body aches and my head feels dizzy.
It doesn’t matter, but two updates can guarantee it.)
