Luo Yi also regrets now. If he had known this, he would not have acted so recklessly, beating Fang Xuanling, whipping Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji... The key is not that he has boarded the ship of the East Palace, but that he could not
Climb the King of Qin's ship.
In fact, Luo Yi had no other choice at that time. Neither Li Yuan nor Li Jiancheng would allow him to defect to the King of Qin. Even neutrality was difficult to establish. After all, he was a foreign warlord, not someone like Li Jing or Li Shan who was solely loyal to Li Yuan.
people.
Who would have thought that the Prince of the Eastern Palace, who was so stable back then, would be on the verge of collapse now, but Luo Yi could only bite the bullet and push it forward... He was not stupid either. He would send himself back to the capital at this time and say that the Prince had no other thoughts. That was a lie.
I don’t even believe it.
Luo Yi hesitated for a moment, "It was Su Dingfang who originally controlled the Beiya Imperial Army?"
"Yes, but now Su Dingfang is accompanying the army, and now he is the Prince Consort Chai Shao." Er Zhuhuan said with a smile: "All the old members of the Forbidden Army have been transferred to the army."
Luo Yi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously. He also knew that he had no other choice. He was not as stupid as Master Liang, and he still wanted to compete for the world, but between himself and King Qin...
Er Zhuhuan squinted his eyes and looked at Luo Yi, weighing it over and over in his mind. Maybe he should find an opportunity to talk to his nephew. The reason is very simple. It was Pei Shiju who suggested that the crown prince transfer Luo Yi back to the court and serve as General Zuo Qianniuwei.
Imperial City, Menxia Province.
Pei Shiju was sitting in the innermost room with an expressionless expression, his body slightly stooped, and his unfocused eyes fell on the memorial on the table... In fact, he didn't really want to come to see what was going on, but he had no choice but to see another servant, Duke Jiang Guo.
Chen Shuda left for Jingzhou to work for the army today.
No matter how many setbacks, how many hardships he encountered in his life, how many major events he encountered in his life, Pei Shiju had already developed a big heart. He was good at changing his mind and unpredictable, and he never regretted it.
But the old man had to admit that he had regretted it a long time ago.
As early as when Li Shanxue attacked the camp at night, forcibly recruited Yuan Junzhang, and provoked civil strife in the Turks, Pei Shiju began to regret it. It would be difficult for an outstanding person with such achievements to become an enemy in the future. At that time, Pei Shiju vaguely felt that he had done something wrong.
.
However, the blood-stained leather hat that Cui Xin personally delivered to his door made Pei Shiju unable to stop. The great success of defeating the Turks three times made Pei Shiju privately feel that he was very lucky, although he did not think so in his heart.
If we were lucky before, we were lucky enough to shoot down the Khan Flag with one arrow, but this time it was different. Tens of thousands of troops were in hand, and they were in a majestic formation, with real swords and guns. Even if the Turkic terrain was unfavorable, after all, the army of more than 100,000 people could not
The defeat was so miserable, so embarrassing.
When he heard the battle report, Pei Shiju could hardly sit still. He felt that his limbs were weak and his mind was weak.
It's a pity that everything is irreversible, especially after his only son Pei Xuanji died in Huating... Pei Shiju thought sadly, if he died of illness at this moment, would Li Huairen stop?
Maybe, maybe not.
Maybe it will be settled openly, but it will be done behind the scenes.
What's more, he is only in his twenties. If there is no accident, he can suppress the Wenxi Pei clan's Xijuan brothers for three generations.
His eyes fell on the memorial on the desk again, and Pei Shiju sighed in his heart. He had thought about using some means... After all, Li Huairen's achievements were so high now that it was difficult to reward him. It was normal for monarchs and ministers to be jealous of each other, but
I didn't expect this young man to be so cautious. Although it was just a small trick, it was very effective.
Pei Shiju closed the memorial and slowly got up and went to Linhu Palace. Not surprisingly, he saw the satisfied smile on Li Yuan's lips.
In addition to Pei Shiju, there were also the prince, King Qin and Pei Ji present. Everyone knew that what Li Yuan was satisfied with was not Wen Yanbo's impeachment, but Li Shan's attitude.
Release the Turli Khan, check and balance the Dubu Khan, and cause civil strife in the Turks to resume. Even if there is no civil strife, it will at least prevent the Dubu Khan from unifying the Turks. In any case, this will be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.
But for Li Shan himself, there are only disadvantages. He indulges the enemy chieftain privately. In the big picture... if he meets a shameless emperor, he can be accused of collaborating with the enemy.
"Huairen or Huairen, actually..." Pei Ji couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, remember that Huairen also made a fortune last time?"
Li Yuan smiled and nodded, "I remember clearly, four hundred horses and one hundred cattle. I have a big appetite this time... four thousand good horses!"
Horses are different from horses. They can be called good horses. Horses are not only war horses, but also the key to forming heavy cavalry. In the past ten days of fighting in Jingzhou, heavy cavalry lost a lot, including cavalry, equipment, and ordnance.
Replenishment is easy, but it is very difficult to replenish horses, and Li Shan asked for 4,000 horses at one time.
"Khan Tuli used this to bribe Huairen." Prince Li Jiancheng joked: "Father should give him a lesson."
Li Shimin added: "Li Huairen, the king of Handan, defeated the Turks, but he was greedy for money, and he was released to the enemy chief because of his personal affairs. His father should send an envoy to reprimand him."
"Second brother, you have said this." Prince Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "You should reprimand yourself, but there is no need to send envoys."
This kind of quarrel... Well, in Li Yuan's opinion, compared with the previous two years, this is simply not a quarrel. Li Yuan said to Xini very skillfully: "Then send someone to inform Qinghe County Duke and order him to face the punishment directly."
Huairen."
Let the father-in-law reprimand the son-in-law... I have to say that Li Yuan and Xini's methods are superb.
Prince Li Jiancheng glanced at Pei Shiju, who slowly said: "Your Majesty, the Liang army is still guarding Xiaoguan, and it is difficult for the army to regain Lingzhou and Huizhou. Perhaps Luo Yi, the king of Yan County, can be sent to lead his troops back to Longyou, bypassing Liangzhou.
?”
Li Yuan pondered for a moment, glanced at Li Jiancheng from the corner of his eye, and then said: "There is King Huai'an on the right side of Longlong... He ordered Luo Yi to return to the court. After all, there is a rift with Huairen."
Li Shimin remained silent and Luo Yi returned to the court. Then General Zuo Qianniuwei was the one to join and there was no other candidate.
Prince Li Jiancheng was happy on one hand and worried on the other. He was happy because Luo Yi could return to the court, but he was worried because his father would rather let Luo Yi return to the court than let him command the army. His intentions during this period were unclear, and he was just trying to suppress the East Palace.
At the same time, Li Jiancheng also admired Pei Shiju's speaking skills. He used this tactful way to promote Luo Yi's return to the court. This showed the old man's extraordinary ability and vision. Without a clear judgment of the situation, it was difficult to do so.
Li Yuan didn't care much about Luo Yi. Although he had thousands of elites under his command, he could only bring a hundred personal guards when he returned to the court. However, Li Shimin was a little wary. The more people the better in a mutiny. Many times, a small group of elite troops would be enough.
can play a key role.
Compared with the pampered Beiya Forbidden Army and the Changlin Army who had little actual combat experience, the more than a hundred personal guards around Luo Yi were already qualified to play a key role.
Li Shimin quietly glanced at Pei Shiju, who had no expression on his face. He was a little puzzled. Although Li Jiancheng was in a bad situation now, it was not without room for maneuver. After all, his father was in good health and would be in power for a long time, but Pei Shiju, an old fox, couldn't wait any longer.
So long.
So, what method can Pei Shiju use to persuade the prince to raise an army?
