Li Shimin's face turned red when he heard this, and he said with shame and anger: "I have never thought of it this way. You should never judge a gentleman with a villain's heart!"
Li Yuanji said without mercy: "Have you ever thought about it this way? You know it in your heart."
Li Shimin's face turned even redder, his teeth clenched, and his hands clenched tightly into fists, as if he wanted to hit someone.
Li Yuanji didn't care at all, and even raised his neck provocatively, indicating that Li Shimin could give it a try.
Li Shimin shouted angrily, "If I help you with advice from now on, I was raised by a lowly concubine!"
After saying this, Li Shimin rushed out of the city gate building angrily without looking back.
Yu Wenbao quickly followed him with his people.
After Li Jiancheng watched the joke for a long time, he laughed happily and said: "Yuanji, you really misunderstood Shimin this time. Shimin really didn't have any small calculations. Everything Shimin did was to help you survive."
This is such a difficult situation.”
Li Yuanji glanced at Li Jiancheng and said in a neutral tone: "I know..."
Li Jiancheng was stunned and said in confusion: "Then you still..."
Li Yuanji said calmly: "I am doing this to prevent the slightest hint of misfortune."
Li Jiancheng was even more stunned, but it didn't take long for him to react and said in astonishment: "Are you afraid that Shimin will have some evil intentions after the soldiers and horses from Shaanxi Province arrive, so you are prepared to take precautions in advance?"
Li Yuanji said coldly: "What else?"
Li Jiancheng subconsciously stroked his beard and sighed: "You are too ruthless."
Li Yuanji snorted: "I'm ruthless, I haven't told you yet. When we just talked about transferring Liangzhou's troops and horses, we didn't even say why, but you took the initiative and said you could go, and wanted to take the opportunity to raise conditions.
.
Do you think I can't see what's going on in your belly?
You have already moved your heart, which is worse than my second brother who has not yet moved his heart.
You two are in the same boat. Once you gain power, will you let me go?
You still have the nerve to say I'm heartless.
If I were ruthless, you two would have moved your heads long ago."
Li Jiancheng was so rebuffed that he could not speak. He smiled and retreated to the corner, and continued to lie down.
Li Yuanji hummed again, picked up his pen and began to write the documents for troop deployment.
Since Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province is now in a state of semi-destruction, various high-ranking officials such as Shangshu Ling, Zuo Pu She, and Zuo Cheng are imprisoned and supervised, so the documents for troop deployment are sent directly to Shaanxi Province.
Daxingtai will have no effect at all.
Therefore, it must be written state by state, to the governor's office in each state, so that the governor of each state can lead troops directly to Suizhou to rush for reinforcements without going through Daxingtai on Shaanxi Province.
So there are more documents to write and more words.
It took Li Yuanji half an hour to finish writing all the troop deployment documents, and then sent Xiao Guanyi's eight hundred miles to rush to various places in Shaanxi Province.
…
When the time entered October, soldiers and horses from various states in Shaanxi Province gathered together and rushed to Suizhou. During this period, the city head of Suizhou was captured six times, and Suizhou was also captured once. If not for Li Shen
At the critical moment, Fu used his royal status to mobilize the troops at Yonghe Pass in Yanshui to recapture Suizhou. Suizhou might have been defeated, and the Turks might have marched in.
After the incident, Li Shenfu immediately wrote a memorandum of apology and sent it to Xiao Guan.
Although Li Shenfu had meritorious service in defending Suizhou, it was a serious crime to mobilize the troops at Yonghe Pass without permission.
Although everything was kept simple during the war and emergency matters were handled with authority, the soldiers and horses at each pass were different from the soldiers in various places. They all shouldered heavy responsibilities and were not allowed to leave the pass without orders, and no one was allowed to transfer without permission.
Li Shenfu, a county prince, had already violated the emperor's disobedience by mobilizing troops and horses without permission. To mobilize troops and horses at the pass without permission was an additional crime.
So even though he knew that Li Shenfu did this out of public interest, Li Yuanji still demoted Li Shenfu's title.
He was demoted from the king of Xiangyi County to the Duke of Dai, and the fiefdom was also transferred to Daizhou, which Li Shiji and Su Dingfang had just captured.
At the same time, he also generously rewarded those generals and soldiers who helped Li Shenfu recapture Suizhou, and adopted a policy of ignoring the guards of Yonghe Pass and the soldiers of Yonghe Pass who left the pass privately.
These are common measurements used by those in power.
After a battle is fought and the victory is won, but a mistake is made, one head must be rewarded and one head punished.
In most cases, those who are injured are the generals and soldiers, and in most cases, those who are punished are those who lead the troops.
This is done to tell everyone that the court has clear rewards and punishments.
The reason why they are biased towards the officers and soldiers is because punishing the officers and soldiers after they have made meritorious deeds will chill the hearts of the officers and soldiers.
The reason why they don't balance their merits and demerits, or reward them regardless of their mistakes, is because Li Shenfu's habit of deploying troops privately cannot be allowed to increase.
Just think about it, if all the princes of the Tang Dynasty were like Li Shenfu, relying on their status to secretly mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the Tang Dynasty, what would the Tang Dynasty be like?
If one or two county princes have different intentions and collude to plot against the court, the privilege of being able to mobilize troops privately will become their greatest help.
Therefore, nothing can be done to increase this trend, and it must be severely cracked down on.
The war situation in Suizhou gradually stabilized after Li Shenfu was demoted to the rank of Duke and the troops from Shaanxi Province arrived. With the addition of new troops from Shaanxi Province, there were also people like Yin Kaishan who understood the Shaanxi Province soldiers and horses.
The Turks led the troops, and the Turks were never able to break through the city wall of Suizhou.
But the crisis in Datang was not resolved.
After the war situation in Suizhou stabilized, Qingzhou fell into crisis again.
The Turks in Suizhou could not attack Suizhou for a long time, so they moved to Qingzhou.
At the same time, the Tuyuhun people in the southwest of Liangzhou also began to attack the Tang Dynasty and continued to harass Liangzhou and Huizhou.
When the cold wind was howling in Xiaoguan and the sky was covered with heavy snow, Li Yi also turned against the Tang Dynasty and led more than 80,000 elite troops to attack Mozhou.
For a time, there were wars in the east, north, and west of the Tang Dynasty.
Some careerists lurking within the Tang Dynasty also took the opportunity to cause chaos in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Tang Dynasty seemed to be in a precarious situation in an instant.
Inside the city gate building of Xiaoguan.
Li Yuanji was wrapped in fur and sat in front of a fire pot to review documents. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes outside the city gate building blew in.
In the north, especially in the north near the Western Regions and Liangzhou, snow always arrives earlier than in other places.
Some places even start to snow in August, so it’s not surprising that Lingzhou has snow in October.
Strangely, the wind seems to be extremely cold this year.
Li Yuanji was wrapped in fur and warming himself in a brazier. He could still feel the cold chill and his hands were a little frozen.
After putting down the paperwork and warming his hands on the fire, Liu Hongji appeared in the city gate building covered in wind and snow.
"Your Highness! Master Liang has retreated!"
Liu Hongji bowed and said with white breath coming out of his mouth.
Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully, which was expected.
At present, Li Shiji and Su Dingfang have arrived at Liang Shidu's doorstep. Tu Diji has already conquered Shuofang City and is about to capture Sanfeng City. It would be strange if Liang Master can still hold on.
"How's it going with Jieli?"
Li Yuanji asked.
Liu Hongji said in a deep voice: "I am about to report this matter to His Highness!"
Li Yuanji had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and motioned for Liu Hongji to continue.
Liu Hongji said in a heavy voice: "Jieli's Golden Wolf Tent and Tuli's Golden Wolf Tent just...disappeared!"
Li Yuanji was stunned and his expression changed slightly.
"Disappeared?!"
Liu Hongji nodded heavily and said: "I guess that Jieli and Tuli should have left long ago. The reason why the two Golden Wolf Tents are still there is to confuse us."
Li Yuanji's expression changed drastically, he suddenly stood up and said: "Quickly send a team of elite cavalry out to find out what's true!"
This team of elite cavalry is regarded as dead soldiers. If they go and never come back, they will never come back.
At the moment, the movements of Jieli and Tuli are more important than anything else.
Liu Hongji solemnly agreed and quickly left the city gate building.
"Come here, call Chen Shuda and others to see you. At the same time, bring my eldest brother and second brother here."
After Liu Hongji left, Li Yuanji gave orders to the guards guarding the door.
After it snowed, because it was too cold inside the city gate building, Li Yuanji asked Yu Wenbao to take Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to a barracks in the pass for custody.
Now that we need them to discuss military affairs, we must call them over quickly.
Although Li Yuanji had already guessed that Jieli and Tuli might have left, and also guessed where Jieli and Tuli had gone, those who should be consulted still had to be consulted.
After all, if Jieli and Tuli really went to the place he guessed, then he would have to make a decision that would cost people and money, and would require many people to support him.
Chen Shuda, Cai Yungong, Han Liang and others arrived soon after being summoned by the guards, and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin also arrived closely under the escort of Yu Wenbao.
After everyone arrived, Li Yuanji ordered people to close the door of the city gate building to block the cold wind. He also ordered people to add several braziers in the city gate building.
It got warmer.
After Chen Shuda roasted his cold and red hands on the fire, he cupped his hands in confusion and said: "Your Highness hastily summoned the ministers, but something important happened?"
Li Yuanji did not hide it, and nodded: "Just now, Duke Ren reported to me that all Liang divisions had withdrawn..."
Chen Shuda, Cai Yungong, Han Liang and others were all stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at a loss.
This is a good thing.
Why is Li Yuanji frowning?
"Ren Guogong also said that Jieli and Tuli's Golden Wolf Tent disappeared."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of not only Chen Shuda, Cai Yungong, Han Liang and others, but also Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin also changed.
Chen Shuda said in disbelief: "Aren't the Golden Wolf tents of Jieli and Tuli always being watched? How could they suddenly disappear?"
Li Yuanji said in a deep voice: "Ren Guogong guessed that Jieli and Tuli should have left long ago. The reason why the Golden Wolf Tent is always there is to confuse us."
