Chapter 4: Mending the Sky (Fourth view) Of course Tang Gong Li Yuan knew what the good opportunity mentioned by the people was referring to. Since the day they raised their troops, the father and son had been arguing over the topic of "borrowing power" from the Turks.
This time, Li Yuan was so angry that he wanted to press his son down among a lot of recorded words and let him take a closer look at how critical the situation the Li family faced back then was and how helpless his choice was. But he knew that even so
Nothing you can do can save his majesty as a father. Your son has grown up and has his own opinions on everything. You can no longer see him as a little kid who only follows his father's lead, nor can you look directly at the burning disappointment in his eyes.
"This can indeed be seen as an opportunity." Li Yuan finally spoke, his voice not loud, but it silenced all the noise in the Chinese military tent for a moment. "If we want to win this land, we must first win the respect of this land!"
Shimin is right, if we don’t even have the courage to fight the Turks, even if we take the entire Central Plains, we will soon lose it again!”
"Mr. Tang!" In the silence, Liu Wenjing's voice seemed abrupt and sharp. "Mr. Tang, please think twice!" He swallowed, raised his head and looked straight ahead, trying not to look at the quietly burning anger around him. "The number of wolf riders."
It’s very complicated, and other heroes may not help us, and they may even do something from behind!”
"I know!" Li Yuan smiled softly, then slowly stood up from his seat and faced everyone very frankly, "The decision to borrow advantage from the Turks was the biggest mistake I made in my life.
If you make a mistake, you have to find a way to remedy it, and you can't just go all the way!"
The candlelight danced, illuminating Li Yuan's old and tired face. At this moment, his back, which had begun to hunch slightly, suddenly looked taller. His eyes swept over the astonished faces, and he continued, "Starting from tomorrow, we will
Ten days after the storming of Chang'an, half of you must turn around and head north, regardless of whether Chang'an can be conquered or not!"
"I am willing to die for Duke Tang!" the generals answered loudly, standing in awe with fists clasped at the same time.
"Tang Gong..." Liu Wenjing still wanted to insist, but when the words came to her lips, Li Yuan forced them back into her throat with her eyes. "In order to have a safe future, I did promise to pay my children gold and silk to Shibi, but I didn't."
I never promised to cede half an inch of land to him!"
"Tang Gong is a wise man!" Regardless of whether they thought favorably of the local princes known as the old woman at first, at this moment, all the heroes were sincerely convinced by Li Yuan. A Tang Gong who knew his mistakes, could correct them, had the courage to take responsibility, and refused to bend the knee to foreign enemies could stand up again.
In front of them, he looked strong and majestic.
It's been a long time since I heard such enthusiastic cheers. Li Yuan's mood was as turbulent as his subordinates. "I didn't agree to cede the land to them!" He confessed loudly, as if there were gods listening in the dark, "I'm not qualified either.
Not only am I not qualified to cede an inch of our Central Plains to foreign enemies, but Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Xue Ju, and even His Majesty the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty are not qualified to do so!"
"Tang Gong! Tang Gong! In an instant, the cheers were like a tsunami, drowning out all the surrounding noise. I don't know who led it. The crude and uncivilized heroes walked up to Li Yuan one after another, took off their sabers, and presented them to his eyes with both hands.
Li Yuan, who was shining with tears, took these sabers and then put them on his waist for his generals.
At this moment, he won more than just loyalty
After the decision was made, the plan to storm Chang'an City was quickly formulated. No matter who Li Yuan set his sights, no generals would try to retain their own strength. Several green forest tycoons from Guanzhong even had a dispute over the ownership of the main attack mission.
No one is willing to lag behind even half a step, and their faces are red.
"Okay, let's attack on all sides at the same time! Regardless of priority!" At the critical moment, Tang Gong Li Yuan made a decision again, "Ximen Gui Wan'er's women's army, Sun Hua, Wang Yuantong, Qi Po Ning, you decide for yourself who will
Whoever attacks the city first will attack the second wave!"
"Promise!" Li Waner happily led the heroes under her command and took the first command arrow from her father.
"Nanmen Gui Shimin's right-wing army, Hongji, Shunde, you two keep an eye on him. Don't let him make a big mistake recklessly like he did in the last battle of Huoyi!" He swept his eyes.
Looking at the eager second son, he shouted an order
"I am willing to fight side by side with the second young master!" Liu Hongji quickly agreed and walked quickly behind Li Shimin.
During the Battle of Huoyi, Song Laosheng, who was surrounded by heavy troops, fought his way out of Li Shimin's side and escaped. If it weren't for Liu Hongji's skill in horse control, this man would definitely have stayed in the city and created a huge enemy for Taiyuan's soldiers and horses.
Trouble, but Liu Hongji knew that the mistake at that time was not that Li Shimin and Song Laosheng were veterans of hundreds of battles, and their battlefield experience was certainly not comparable to that of a young man like Li Shimin who had just debuted. Moreover, without Li Shimin's desperate obstruction, Song Laosheng would not have been able to do so.
I was so tired that I couldn’t even resist Liu Hongji’s moves.
Most of the generals were immersed in their arrogance and did not notice Liu Hongji's embarrassment at all. However, there were many people with a keen sense of smell. Liu Wenjing's eyes flashed quickly, she looked at Li Shimin, and then peeked at Li Jiancheng. He originally planned to say
After a few words to show that he was not a timid person, he suddenly thought of a better strategy, and an imperceptible smile appeared in the corner of his mouth.
"The north gate belongs to the left army of Jiancheng. I personally lead the Chinese army to bypass the east of the city and enter the city first. I will be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition!" After a pause, Li Yuan continued, "You are much younger than me, so don't
You were too timid to move forward and let me take the lead!"
"The last general will not dare to lose to Duke Tang!" the heroes responded loudly.
"Go down and rest. Tomorrow morning, when the sun rises, I will compete with you!" Li Yuan waved his hand and commanded with a smile.
"No!" The generals bowed to him again, and then came out of the tent one after another. When the bustling Chinese army tent returned to silence again, the exhausted Li Yuan took a long breath and slowly sat back on the bed behind the handsome case.
He was really a little tired, not only because of the complicated military affairs in front of him, but also because of the many invisible wars taking place in the dark. The emperor's seat was uncomfortable. Before raising the army, Li Yuan had been prepared in his heart. However, he had absolutely no chance.
Unexpectedly, the surging undercurrent came so early and so violently
"Tang Gong just handled it wonderfully!" Pei Ji's voice sounded from beside him, and Li Yuan was so shocked that he immediately pressed his hand on the handle of the knife.
"He's a subordinate! Not an assassin!" Pei Ji, who was used to having trouble with Li Yuanxiao, walked forward quickly, pulled up a stool, and Shi Shiran sat opposite Shuai An.
"Sit down, why don't you make any noise when you walk? You look like a ghost. Whoever is on duty tonight let people in without saying a word!" Li Yuan did not feel dissatisfied at all with Pei Ji's impoliteness. He smiled and blamed him.
Pei Ji smiled and shook his head, "My subordinate didn't leave the tent just now. It was because Duke Tang was too tired that he didn't see his subordinate!"
"I'm a little tired. I'm old and no longer as energetic as I was when I was young!" Li Yuan sighed and responded in a low voice that he and Pei Ji had been acquaintances for many years, so Li Yuan didn't want to be too embarrassed in front of the generals.
He, the head of the family, is already tired of sticking to false etiquette. If he can't even find anyone to chat with, wouldn't it become more and more boring?
Pei Ji knew that Li Yuan's mood was not as happy as he showed in front of everyone, and he also knew the specific reasons for the other party's exhaustion. This was one of the prices to pay for fighting for the world. No one could escape it, but he had the means to keep Li Yuan alive.
Have to be more relaxed, like chatting about women and wine
"I heard that Yang Guang hid many beautiful women in his palace in Chang'an. Many women entered the palace at the age of thirteen and did not get their turn until they were in their twenties!"
"That's Li Mi's rumor. Although His Majesty is careless about government affairs, he is very devoted to the Queen. It's not like you haven't seen those palace officials we released along the way. The total number does not exceed 300, and many of them were born when the late Emperor was alive."
He entered the palace at that time!" Li Yuan knew that the trusted minister had good intentions, so he cheered up and said
The heroes rose up to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, and naturally they wanted to completely defeat Yang Guang in terms of personality. Therefore, in recent years, stupid rumors about Yang Guang's desolation have been widely spread, but Li Yuan knew that most of them could not be verified. Yang Guang was a tyrant. No one could conclude that Yang Guang was a tyrant.
Denial, but Yang Guang is not a liar or an idiot, otherwise he would not have deceived Yang Su, Yu Wenshu, Mai Tiezhang and other heroes of the world who came from different backgrounds and had conflicting interests to support him, and forced his biological brother out of the position of crown prince.
come down
Thinking of the tragedy that happened to Yang Yong's family, his mood, which he had just cheered up, became depressed again. "It's easy to laugh at other people's jokes. If it was really my turn, I probably wouldn't even realize that I was laughed at! Oh, if I had known this, why would I have planned anything?"
What a world!"
The wind outside suddenly became stronger, blowing the candlelight crookedly. Marching Commander Shi Peiji quickly stood up and closed the felt door of the military tent again. When Li Yuan was not paying attention, he pricked up his ears and listened, making sure that there was nothing unusual happening around him.
Finally, he sat back down opposite Li Yuan and spoke cautiously, "Actually, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Do all the children have a future? Parents don't know who to hand over the family property to. But what if the children don't have anything to do with it?"
If you have no future, parents will be worried even more, so Mr. Tang might as well be more open-minded. After all, it will not be up to us elders to decide who will inherit the family business!"
"I'm afraid, when the children's wings are hardened, it will be difficult to control the elders!" Li Yuan sighed and shook his head, "I won't try to sell out to you. Anyway, there is no one around, so don't treat me as a lieutenant. Just
When I am still old woman Li, I hang out with you in Jinyang Palace and peek at the beauties!"
Pei Ji was made dumbfounded by Li Yuan's words, "Then I have to hurry up. I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to talk to you like this. When I enter Chang'an, you first grant me a thousand hectares of land and 20,000 guan. Don't talk to me."
How can I pretend to be impartial and honest? It makes me follow you and rebel for nothing!"
"Aren't you afraid of pushing yourself to death!" Li Yuan raised his arm and slapped Pei Ji's hand that was under his nose. "With that money, I have to help the refugees. Give it to you. Your family is already extremely rich, so why bother?"
Just the icing on the cake!”
"One yard is one yard!" Pei Ji smiled, and stretched out his hand again with a salivating face, "Everyone follows Mr. Tang today for the sake of justice in the world, but justice cannot be eaten as food, but anyone who keeps his head in his belt,
Some of them are not trying to grab money, land, or women. If you look at all the heroes in the world, no matter what banner they use to rebel, the ultimate goal boils down to it. Isn’t it just for the three benefits of money, land, and women?"
