In comparison, Li Shiji's emphasis on love and righteousness seems very fake.
After all, he went to collect Li Mi's body and put mourning on Li Mi. It seemed that he was showing loyalty to Li Mi, but in fact, he was holding up Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other old brothers.
He had gained a good reputation, but Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others were all turned into ruthless and unjust people by him.
No matter how you look at it, this seems like benefiting yourself at the expense of others, rather than showing loyalty.
"However, now is not the time to judge Li Shiji. We must think of ways to increase troops for Yin Sui as soon as possible."
Li Yuanji sighed and said.
After Li Shiji and Su Dingfang's troops entered Daizhou, there was no need to worry about the battle on the front line from Shizhou to Weizeguan. They could attack the Turks in Lanzhou from between Loufanguan and Xiaoyanmenguan.
As long as the Turks are smart enough, they will definitely abandon the battlefield from Shizhou to Weizeguan and attack Suizhou with all their strength.
Once the stalemate with Li Xiaogong continues in Shizhou, what awaits them is a flanking attack from both sides and the entire army will be annihilated.
The soldiers Jieli sent to attack the line from Shizhou to Weizeguan were not elite to begin with, and most of them were servants and slaves.
Now that half of them have been captured by Li Shiji and others, the remaining half cannot resist the attack of Li Shiji and others, so the only way left is to retreat to Suizhou and attack Suizhou together with the Suizhou army.
Li Xiaogong would then lead Li Shiji and others to re-deploy defenses at Loufan Pass and Yanmen Pass, as well as in Daizhou and Yizhou to help Chai Shao deal with Li Yi.
Li Xiaogong had to leave a force of soldiers and horses to guard Xiaoyanmen Pass to prevent the Turks from falsely shooting back to Xiaoyanmen Pass.
As a result, the various armies under Li Xiaogong, as well as the troops and horses led by Su Dingfang and Chai Shao, could not move.
We can only think of him sending more troops to Suizhou.
Xiaoguan's troops and horses cannot be moved, because the Turkic army outside the pass shows no sign of weakening, and Yanqing's troops and horses cannot be moved, because once Yanqing's troops and horses are transferred, the Turks are likely to turn around and attack Yanqing.
Celebrate.
Almost all the troops and horses that can be mobilized in and around Guanzhong have been mobilized, and the only ones that can be mobilized are a few troops and horses from the twelve guards guarding Chang'an City.
These soldiers and horses also have to guard Chang'an City, internally to prevent civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and externally to prevent the Turks from suddenly breaking through the Tang Dynasty border and entering Guanzhong, so they cannot be moved.
Therefore, there are no more soldiers and horses to send to support Suizhou.
"Why don't you send troops and horses from Liangzhou, and then send another army and horses from here to Suizhou?"
Li Shimin also knew that there were currently no troops available in Guanzhong, so he proposed to replace the troops and horses in Liangzhou with those in Xiaoguan.
It means to order the soldiers and horses from Liangzhou to come over. At the same time as the soldiers and horses from Liangzhou arrive, a force and horses from here will be dispatched to Suizhou.
Doing this can reduce the time required for Datang to mobilize troops, and the risks Datang needs to bear are also minimal.
Li Yuanji frowned and said, "I'm just afraid that Liangzhou's soldiers and horses won't want to come..."
Although Liangzhou was nominally the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the troops and horses in Liangzhou were nominally the troops and horses of the Tang Dynasty, Liangzhou actually had the final say.
Despite An Xinggui's previous display of loyalty in Chang'an City, he acted as if he would do whatever the Tang Dynasty asked him to do.
But without his orders or his nod, it would be difficult for Tang Dynasty to mobilize Liangzhou's troops.
Of course, it's not completely impossible.
Liangzhou is not only An Xinggui's hometown, but also one of the Li family's hometowns.
The full name of Li family is Longxi Li family.
Longxi is in Liangzhou.
Therefore, the Li family still has considerable influence in Liangzhou.
Especially in the second year of Wude, An Xinggui captured Li Gui, the king of Liang, and brought the northwest counties to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. When Li Jiancheng personally rushed to Yuanzhou to accept the surrender, he inspected the counties in Liangzhou and Li's influence in Liangzhou
The power is higher.
Therefore, even if An Xinggui does not come forward, Li Jiancheng can come forward to mobilize the troops and horses of Longxi and several states near Longxi.
But An Xinggui is now in the Turks, and it is difficult for Li Jiancheng to be released, so it becomes extremely difficult to mobilize Liangzhou troops and horses.
Moreover, the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou now also have to guard against the Turks and Tuyuhun to take advantage of the situation, so they are not allowed to move lightly.
Although Tuyuhun had been defeated in the two conquests of the former Sui Dynasty and was unable to become an enemy of the Central Plains, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, under the instigation of Princess Guanghua of the Sui Dynasty who married Tuyuhun, he repeatedly invaded the Tang Dynasty and became the enemy of the Central Plains.
A major problem occurred in the northwest frontier of Tang Dynasty.
In recent years, the Tang Dynasty was busy unifying the Central Plains and resisting the Turks, and had no time to deal with the Tuyuhun people, which made the Tuyuhun people even more rampant.
If Liangzhou's soldiers and horses are transferred away and no one is left to guard them, they will definitely take advantage of the situation and rob them.
"Then let me go there myself."
Li Shimin said seriously.
Li Jiancheng was still drowsy in a corner of the city gate building. When he heard this, he immediately stopped feeling sleepy. He suddenly sat up and said, "I can take a walk, but..."
Before he could finish his words or put forward the conditions, Li Yuanji shook his head decisively and said: "Let's forget it. I suspect that Yicheng and Guanghua have always been closely connected. This time when the Turks went south, Yicheng may have
I sent someone to contact Guanghua.
I'm afraid Tuyuhun's side has already prepared its troops and is waiting for us to mobilize Liangzhou's troops and leave."
If Liangzhou is lost and Li Yi rebels, then the territory controlled by the Tang Dynasty will be almost the same as that of the Song Dynasty. The dilemma faced by the Song Dynasty without horses will probably also appear in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanji did not want the Tang Dynasty to follow the footsteps of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, in the long run, it is better to let Jieli come in than to lose Liangzhou.
When Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng heard this, their expressions changed.
Li Jiancheng even slapped the wall inside the city gate building and yelled, "These two bitches!"
Li Yuanji did not comment too much on this. Whether Yicheng and Guanghua are bitches depends on the angle from which you look at this issue. From the perspective of the family, the Li family replaced the Yang family and occupied the Yang family.
The family property of the Yang family, and as a child of the Yang family, it is also right for them to avenge the Yang family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From the perspective of the ethnic group, helping the Tuyuhun and Turks and bullying the Han people is a bitch.
From a human perspective, especially a woman's perspective, they are two pitiful people.
After all, they were taken in for marriage at a very young age and married into the grassland. Not only did they have to serve the grassland Khan who knew nothing and did not like cleanliness, they also had to be replaced by their successors after the grassland Khan died.
Inherit and continue to serve others.
This kind of unethical experience, this kind of tragic experience, is also a kind of sadness for them.
Based on their status, they should have lived a high-ranking, well-fed life, but not only did they not enjoy the benefits that their status brought to them, they also had to suffer hardships because of their status.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are poor people.
Li Yuanji has always looked down on the idea of marrying a woman. In his opinion, it is a sign of incompetence and a sign of ruining people.

As a person in power, he should be as tough as Taizu.
If you don’t accept it, come fight!
Beat you until you are convinced!
Things that harm people and humiliate the country are absolutely unacceptable.
If the rules set by others are not discussed with me and I don't agree with them, then I just don't agree with them and I have to make a new rule for you.
For example, my cannon can hit twelve nautical miles. Why should I recognize your internationally established three-nautical-mile territorial sea rule? I just want to set twelve nautical miles.
Are you dissatisfied?
Come and fight!
This is what a person in power should look like.
Li Shimin didn't make any comments about Yicheng and Guanghua. He just frowned tightly and said: "Listening to what you said, I remembered that when the Turks invaded our Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun
People did take the opportunity to invade Liangzhou.
It was as if they had discussed it in advance. As soon as the Turks moved, the Tuyuhun people immediately moved.
In the past, I didn't pay much attention to the war with the Tuyuhun people. I always focused on people like Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Liu Heitai, and Jieli.
Now that I think about it again, it is really possible that Yicheng and Guanghua are colluding together with the intention of overthrowing the Tang Dynasty."
The Tuyuhun people were cut off by the former Sui Dynasty. Now they occupy a large territory in the northwest, but they don't have much strength. Although they repeatedly invaded the border after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they did not pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty as much as Fu Gongyou's rebellion.
They came in a big way, but before they could penetrate into the Tang Dynasty, they were repulsed by the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou.
Sometimes they even gave up before Liangzhou's troops could exert their strength.
So it makes sense that Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, when facing a group of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, who has the time to pay attention to rabbits hopping around?
That is to say, the Tang Dynasty still has the great threat of the Turks, the hidden dangers of Li Yi have not been eliminated, and people like Liang Shidu have not yet been conquered.
Otherwise, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty would have been roaming around Tuyuhun long ago.
"Since Yicheng and Guanghua have colluded together, then the troops and horses in Liangzhou cannot be moved. Where can we send troops and horses to support Suizhou?"
Li Shimin frowned and asked.
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Shimin and sighed: "Then let's mobilize the troops from East Shaanxi Province to go north. You are so worried about this matter, don't you just want to say this when I have no choice and no troops to mobilize?
I’ll tell you now.”
At present, there are no troops left in Guanzhong, and almost all the troops and horses in the surrounding areas that can be mobilized have been mobilized. The remaining troops that can be mobilized and can rush to Suizhou in time are the only soldiers left in Shaanxi Province.
horse.
When the Shaanxi Province was first established, it had great power and had many areas of control. In addition to controlling all the soldiers and horses under the Shaanxi Province, it also controlled all the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Hebei and Hedong.
In the fourth year of Wude, after Li Shimin conquered Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, the power of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province could be said to have reached its peak. Almost all places east of Hangu Pass and north of the Yangtze River were dominated by Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province.
Have the final say.
Historically, it was not until the 9th year of Wude that the Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province was abolished and various Dao were established.
But now, some of the power of Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province has been weakened after Liu Heita was destroyed. After Li Shimin was imprisoned, Qu Tutong surrendered, and core figures such as Yu Zhining, Xue Shou, and Han Liang were put under supervision, they
It has already existed in name only.
The only places that can control it are some prefectures and counties west of Duji Road and west of Taiyuan Prefecture.
But there are still many soldiers and horses, and the combat effectiveness is still strong.
Although it cannot be compared with the heyday, it is still the strongest place in the Tang Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yuanji did not want to let them out until Li Shimin's mark was completely removed from their bodies.
But now that Suizhou is in a hurry, and Li Shimin's life is firmly in his hands, he can't care so much anymore.
