Chapter 4: The Revolutionary War (Sixth Chapter) left Boling without finding anything. Li Shimin felt a little annoyed. He did not blame his sister for not being willing to contribute to his family. What Zhen'er said was a good question. If his wife still married him, The interests of the Changsun family are at the forefront of his heart, and he will not be happy about it.
But thinking about the possible stance of the Boling Army after raising troops in Taiyuan, Li Shimin felt cold in more than one place. From the age of fourteen, he worshiped Li Xu as a hero and fantasized about being able to be with him one day when he grew up. At the same time, the day of galloping on the battlefield is finally getting closer, but there is a high possibility that they will raise their swords against each other.
"It would be great if Zhong Jian was defeated by the Wagang Army. It would save a lot of trouble in the future!" Deep in his heart, Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly assume that this thought made him feel ashamed, but like a child seeing sweets. , unable to refuse its temptation, Li Xu was defeated by Wagang. No matter whether he could return to his hometown safely in the end, the Boling Army would be severely weakened in a short period of time. Coupled with the threats of Luo Yi and Dou Jiande, no matter how loyal he was to Yang Guang, Li Xu couldn't distract himself for several years.
It's just that Li Mi is so incompetent! Shimin shook his head and drove this boring and impossible hypothesis out of his heart. Regarding Li Mi's personal abilities, the Tang Gongfu had already concluded that this wealthy family had to hang books on the horns while walking. The biggest skill of the guy who read is to pretend to be a ghost. It's okay if this guy is not in front of the two armies. Once he reaches the battle formation, the Wagang Army will undoubtedly be defeated. It is better to hope that he will defeat Li Xu. It is better to hope that there will be a sudden heavy snow in the sky and the Boling Jing will be defeated. The reality of riding alive and freezing to death outside Xingze City
But now it is the spring season, and the green apricots in Hebei and Shanxi have grown to the size of the little finger. How can it still snow in Henan? Therefore, what should happen will happen. With Li Zhongjian's character, if he is willing to create Yang Guang's On the contrary, after Li Zhongjian crippled the Wagang Army, the next step would be to return to Hebei to deal with Dou Jiande, and then it would be Luo Yi's turn. Gao Kaidao and these people may not be able to defeat him, but when Taiyuan raises his troops, First of all, you have to withstand the attack of Boling Jingqi.
"It would be great if Zhongjian loses. He has been going too smoothly in recent years, so it is difficult for us to conquer him!" Li Shimin is not the only one with ulterior motives. Changsun Shunde has the same idea, but he doesn't care about putting this person under control. An idea is proclaimed, and a high-sounding reason can always be found for it.
"Li Mi is no match for Zhong Jian! Xu Maogong did have a chance to compete with him, but by the time Xu broke through the Xingyang defense line, Zhong Jian's troops would have already invaded the main stronghold of Wagang!" Liu Hongji shook his head, rejected the possibility described by Changsun Shunde
"The most unforgettable kindness of providing help in times of need is Zhongjian's character. If he is really defeated at the foot of Wagang Mountain, as long as we in Hedong help him in time, we will not worry about him not paying twelve cents in return in the future." Changsun Shunde smiled and continued to dream about his daydream. "Conquering a person is like training a strong horse. You have to let it suffer some setbacks before you can accept it. Otherwise, even if he surrenders on the surface, he will not be able to accept it in the future." It may not be easy to deploy..."
"Chief Changsun, you are right!" Liu Hongji frowned when he heard Changsun Shunde's harsh words, and interrupted his ramblings, "Zhongjian is a hero of the world, how can he be compared to an animal? Even if he is a good man, Horses are not as weak as you say!"
"Hey, I'm just making an analogy. I don't really treat him as a livestock. A good horse needs a master to control it. This hero is naturally driven by the wise king..." Changsun Shunde curled his lips and explained.
Liu Hongji knew that the other party was not very broad-minded, so he did not argue with him, grabbed the wine bag tied under Ma's neck, drank a few sips, and used the excuse of drinking to change the topic.
"Brother Hongji, don't worry about Zhongjian, he can't lose to Li Mi, so Uncle Changsun just said that, there is no chance to realize his dream!" Li Shimin was afraid that the two of them would hurt their harmony, so he quickly reconciled with a smile.
Changsun Shunde didn't understand Shimin's kindness. He turned his head and said to him with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. Half of the victory or defeat depends on what's going on outside the battlefield. There are definitely not a few people who want to watch Zhongjian lose the battle. They can do whatever they want."
Any move of his hands and feet will make it very difficult for our General Li to cope with it!"
"Who is so stupid as to make trouble for Zhong Jian at this time? Could it be that some of the ministers at that time had close friendship with Li Mi?" Li Shimin didn't believe what Changsun Shunde said and shook his head with a smile.
"At that time, several ministers had no friendship with Dou, but why did they suddenly transfer the old general Yang Yichen back to Jiangdu when he was being killed before his eyes and had no way to escape?" Changsun Shunde looked back and pointed to the southeast with his riding whip.
"Poor General Yang, he fell ill as soon as he returned to Jiangdu, and died suddenly in the blink of an eye. If there weren't some articles here, Shimin, would you believe it?"
"It's indeed a bit strange!" Li Shimin frowned and responded.
Yang Yichen was ordered to return to Jiangdu at the beginning of last winter. At that time, he was fighting fiercely with Dou Jiande and others. According to rumors, it was Lord Yu who was in charge of the government because he thought that the loot that General Yang sent to Jiangdu was not thick enough, so he told Yang Guang
: The Hebei bandits have been defeated by Li Xu. There is no need to leave so many soldiers and horses there. Besides, Yang Yichen has been away with heavy troops for a long time. The soldiers under his command only know that there is a commander, not an emperor.
For unknown reasons, another man known as a wise man who was involved in government affairs, Mr. Pei Ju, also suggested that His Majesty the Emperor transfer Yang Yichen back to Jiangdu to serve as Minister of War. As a result, Yang Yichen left, and the situation in Hebei suddenly changed.
The generals who came down to fight against the thieves were defeated one after another at the hands of Dou Jiande. Even the old team left by Yang Yichen were defeated by the bandits, and not a single grain of scum was left.
Misfortunes never come singly. Just last month, news came from Jiangdu that Yang Yichen died of illness. It is said that he was facing the northeast before his death, and never forgot to go to Pingyuan County to reorganize his old troops, eliminate traitors for the country, and fulfill the agreement between him and Li Xu.
"If Yang Yichen's record is too great, it will be equivalent to exposing the lies of the prosperous age fabricated by Yu and Pei, so the two of them will naturally be no less than the old general. Moreover, Jiangdu currently lacks a veteran who is accustomed to fighting to balance the strength of the Yuwen family.
Considering that together, Yang Yichen must go back to be the Minister of War. As for how to make his death look like he is sick, that is the specialty of the Yuwen family and no one needs to teach him at all?" Seeing Li Shimin's eyes looking a little blank, the eldest son Shunde smiled and said again
The changes in Jiangdu could not be hidden from others, not from the eyes of his eldest grandson Shunde, because he was familiar with those things. However, he had been dormant with the family head under the command of Tang Gong for these years, and he had never had the chance to show it. If it were him now.
Changing places with Li Mi, there are at least a dozen ways to drive Li Xu into panic. It is not easy to kill the opponent completely. It is very easy to drive General Li away from the battlefield.
"But your Majesty has always believed in Zhongjian, and it is impossible for him to suddenly become suspicious of him like he did to Old General Yang!" Li Shimin pondered for a moment, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Second Young Master, what you said is wrong! You have seen our Majesty, which general can you trust for a long time? Zhang Xutuo holds a heavy army and is too close to the east capital, so he will be cut off from supplies and controlled by Zhong Jian.
Do you have fewer troops and horses than the old general Zhang Xutuo? Besides, the second young master must have forgotten that Zhongjian is named Li Ruo. In terms of speed of rise and popularity, he is only above Li Mi, not below him!" Changsun Shunde said secretly.
Smile and analyze in a low voice
"Well!" Li Shimin was startled by Changsun Shunde's sinister expression. He stared for a long time as if he didn't recognize the other person, and then replied very tiredly, "Zhong Jian may be an exception. I have never seen His Majesty like this.
Treat someone as if you were your own son or nephew."
"Second Young Master, do you think that the Emperor alone is responsible for the situation that the Sui Dynasty has reached?" Changsun Shunde smiled again, showing his full white teeth, all of which shone with a cold light. "No matter how stupid and confused Your Majesty is, it is only because of him that he is confused.
The Great Sui Dynasty would not have been defeated so quickly. I don’t think any of the ministers in the court had ever added fuel to the fire. I only pity that idiot Zhong Jian, who fluttered into the fire like a moth."
"The emperor will not believe those slanders. Everyone knows that Zhong Jian is not like Li Mi. He is alone. Even if he wants to rebel, he has no team!" Li Shimin still shook his head, but his tone of voice became weaker and weaker, and his forehead was shining brightly.
Cold sweat is clearly visible
"It's not that Zhong Jian doesn't have a team. It's easy for the emperor to believe that Zhong Jian has a team!" Changsun Shunde put away his smile, and the expression on his face suddenly became very solemn. "In fact, although Mr. Tang has not helped Zhong Jian in these years, the outside world
We still regard him as a member of our Li family! We dominate the Li family! The plum of peach and plum!"
The word "Li" was repeatedly emphasized by him countless times, which made people feel chills running down their spines and making their scalp tingle. Li Shimin quickly turned his head away to look for Liu Hongji, who was walking beside him just now, but found that the other person didn't know.
When did he already run into the ranks of guards? He was now carrying a wine bag and drinking happily with his brothers.
"Even if the facts are as Uncle Changsun said, we can't place too much hope on others. To forge the iron, we have to be strong ourselves. We need to prepare when we need to prepare, and we still have to fight when we need to fight!" After looking back, Mr. Tang
Li Shimin, the second young master of the mansion, said in a low voice
"Second Young Master is right. We should give the support to Zhong Jian to the whole family. We can't let others see the joke!" Changsun Shunde smiled and pointed the riding whip in his hand into the distance.
At this moment, he was full of energy, as if he had the picturesque country under his control
