For Tang Gong Li Yuan, it is obviously not the time to blame Li Xu for being bold and careless. What he needs is a stable and effective strategy to resolve some upcoming or potential crises invisible! Even if it cannot be done, the worst is
You also want to prevent these crises from affecting your family.
Troubled times have come, and for the Li family, which has just regained some strength, dangers and opportunities coexist, and he can't help but act carelessly.
"Since Jun Ji knows the situation in the six counties of Hebei very well, in your opinion, what should I do now?" Li Yuan gently put down the tea cup in his hand and asked in a very calm tone. Give the young people more opportunities to express themselves.
, is his consistent principle in employing people. The day when the older generation of staff such as Chen Yanshou and Ma Yuangui will eventually run out of strength, whether they can dig out and train a new generation of counselors and generals before then affects the future of the Li family.
Seeing Li Yuan looking at him with eyes full of trust and expectation, Hou Junji unconsciously pushed his chest forward. It is not easy to gain a foothold in the Li Mansion with so many talents. Although he has Li Shimin's support behind him, he must also know how to grasp what belongs to him.
opportunity. "In the opinion of this junior, it is best for Mr. Tang to write a letter to General Li at this moment, explaining how powerful he is!" He was about the same age as Li Shimin, so the word "junior" was logical. "Then General Li is not reckless.
This place was only more than 800 miles away from Shanggu, and it took five days to reach it by horse. When Tang Gongshu arrived, the snake had come out of its hole, and the eagle had not lost its feathers. The army turned back...
.”
This is a very cruel method. To Li Xu, the banditry in the mountains is just an itch of scabies, and there is little difference between eradicating it early and later. But when the powerful and officials were about to take action, Li Xu suddenly led his troops back to Boling.
Go, those guys with ulterior motives will be caught off guard...
"Now that those violators have arrived, General Li will no longer be polite to them!" Hou Junji said more and more smoothly, without caring about the pale faces of the people around him. He also came from a poor family, and out of his own
With his experience, he could not help but secretly applaud Li Xu's heavy-handed attack on aristocratic families and mediocre officials. Therefore, when thinking about the problem, he mainly considered how to make Li Xu make further progress, but he did not even notice that the right-hand Li family was also a member of the aristocratic family.
One of them, and among the staff of Tang Gongfu, there were many nephews and nephews of some local wealthy families.
"This guy is so cruel!" Chen Yanshou, the first counselor of Li Mansion, looked at Li Yuan and shook his head slightly.
"This son and Wuji are natural partners, and Shimin knows how to use people!" Changsun Shunde's eyes were still full of admiration, but the object of admiration was another person next to Hou Junji.
"Jun Ji's plan sounds very good, but have you ever thought about whether General Li will believe my warning?" After looking around, Tang Gong Li Yuan did not make any comments on Hou Junji's suggestion, but asked about his plan with a smile.
feasibility.
"This, this..." Hou Junji, who was in high spirits just now, suddenly blushed, muttered several times, and finally shook his head and said with emotion, "Junior is being reckless. General Li has always treated people with sincerity. He doesn't know how to treat others at all."
I suspect the people around him are causing trouble behind his back!"
"It's not easy for you to think of so many things. If you read more books in your free time, you will know more stories and think about problems more carefully!" Li Yuan's smile was full of encouragement, which made Hou Junji feel heartbroken.
Feeling warm and comfortable, the embarrassment immediately eased a lot.
From the disdainful eyes of his senior colleagues, he already knew that his words just now were too reckless. Not to mention that Li Xu may not believe the warning words from afar, even if he recognized Tang Gong's warning and returned to the army resolutely. This move was another
Where will the Li family end up?
"Young people, it is inevitable that there are some oversights in your ideas. It would be better if you have more experience!" Ma Yuangui, who was sitting in the seat near Li Yuan, shook his feather fan gently and added with a smile. "The ancients said that disasters often accumulate in the slightest, and hurricanes first arise from
"Pingmo, this is a troubled time, and we can't just plan for temporary happiness!"
He spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, as if an elder was teaching the younger generation. Hou Junji heard thunder in his ears, and cold sweat dripped down his spine. Ma Yuangui made an insinuation, vaguely referring to the fact that he only relied on his own feelings and likes when considering issues.
, but did not consider how the interests of the Li family would be affected. In fact, he did put himself in Li Xu's position just now, instead of being an aide to the Tang Dynasty to prepare for Li Yuan.
"Yes, yes, Master Ma's words make sense. The local forces in Hebei have always been intertwined. We must not act rashly!" All the staff nodded in agreement with Ma Yuangui's words.
If Li Yuan really listened to Hou Junji's suggestion, relying on his influence on Li Xu, he might not be able to persuade the Fenyang army to turn back in time. But doing so would not do any good to the Li family! Once Li Xu returns to the army
, it means that he will completely fall out with those who hold him back. Even if there is no bloodshed in the six counties of Hebei, at least some people will have to pay the price with their lives. And the power of the family who was hit in the court will inevitably be
This "blood debt" was placed on Li Yuan. Today's Holy Emperor is already deeply jealous of the Li family. When Tang Gongfu encounters trouble, he can't hide away. How can he take the initiative to make enemies with others?!
To take a step back, even if the "provocation" of Tang Gong Li Yuan's writing of books was not known to the officials and powerful people in the six counties of Hebei, after Li Xu brutally killed the violators of Yang and Yin, they would inevitably be counterattacked by various families. At that time,
As General Li's nominal clan uncle, it would not be easy for Li Yuan to figure out that he and Li Xu had the same surname but different clans. The backlash would not only target Li Zhongjian.
"Grandma, it's better to send someone to bring the third sister back as soon as possible. Once Brother Zhongjian loses the fight, the door of our family will always be open to him!" Li Yuanji was very happy to see the second brother's arm making a fool of himself, stood up, and started again
He made suggestions that most of the staff did not dare to make directly to Duke Tang.
The trouble Li Xu created in the six counties of Hebei was too big. If even the emperor did not support him at this moment, Tang Gong Li Yuan should protect himself wisely. With Li Xu's past achievements, at most he would suffer a big setback in his official career.
As for losing his life, the Li family of Longyou protected his wife and family at the critical moment, which was tantamount to "giving help in the snow." As for whether the help came too late, a phoenix in distress who lost his territory and military power at the same time must have
You have no right to be picky!
"Third Young Master is right, our Li family has just regained its strength, and we really shouldn't get burned at this time!" Sun Shunde, the eldest son, nodded and agreed with Li Yuanji's suggestion.
With the approval of this old counselor who has a transcendent status in the Li family, other staff members who were holding a wait-and-see attitude were even more convinced that their plan was correct. Keeping a low profile and biding time has been a strategy that the Li family has been adhering to for more than ten years. There is no need to worry about someone who is interested in Li.
The collateral officials who were not completely obeyed by the family broke the established policy. Although Miss Li San married the other party, the daughter of a concubine had no status in the family. If it were not for the consideration that Tang Gong Li Yuan always valued family ties,
Everyone even wanted to suggest that he give up Zhen'er as well, so as not to affect the long-term interests of the entire family.
"I suggest that we send a surprise force from Lingqiu to Feihu to help Zhongjian capture Wuhuiling as soon as possible! As long as he fights quickly, others may not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble!" Li Jiancheng heard that most of his staff wanted to sit back and watch.
Unable to sit still any longer, he stood up and said loudly.
"Brother...?" Li Yuanji was proud that he had provided a good strategy for the family, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother, who had always been a bit cowardly, suddenly took on the responsibility. His eyes widened with surprise. Out of the need to please his father,
He also had some understanding of the geographical overview of the counties in Hedong. Feihu Village, hidden behind Wuhuiling, was the old camp of King Mantian, facing Lingqiu City on Hedong Road behind it. When Li Xu led the army to attack from the front,
Taiyuan sent out another strange army to kill them from behind. Even if the Mantian King had three heads and six arms, he might not be able to stop the two families from joining forces to strike.
Just doing this, what good will it do to the Li family? Isn't it just a waste of the reputation of others?
"Zhong Jian refused to deny that he was your nephew when our Li family was in the most difficult time. We can't just stand by and watch when he needs help the most!" Li Jiancheng was a little excited and his face was as red as fire.
Back then, he lost the trust of Li Xu, Liu Hongji and others because he failed to protect the retreat route of the food protection army. He didn't want to make the same mistake a second time. He asked himself that he didn't have the decisiveness of his second brother or the cleverness of his third brother, but
In terms of being sincere to others, he hopes that he can do better than his two younger brothers.
"Jian Jiancheng is right. Although Zhongjian does things recklessly, he is my nephew after all. We can't just stand by and watch him get into trouble." Li Yuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. In addition to considering the past relationship between them,
In addition, he doesn't want to give people the impression of being irresponsible. Troubled times are coming, and a family leader who only cares about profit without considering others will make many followers feel cold.
"It's been built, please prepare. I ordered Zhuangwu General Pan Changwen to lead the troops with you. Since Your Majesty has entrusted me with the important task of maintaining local peace, we cannot sit back and watch the bandits escape to Hedong and continue to do evil after being defeated by Zhong Jian.
"After adopting the eldest son's suggestion, Li Yuan also took advantage of the situation and handed over the soldiers and horses he had just added to his command. Zhuangwu General Pan Changwen was a general sent by the Ministry of War to assist Taiyuan in suppressing bandits. He had led troops for many years and had rich combat experience. Li Jiancheng and
He went to suppress the bandits, and he just happened to be able to gain some military glory!
"Thank you, father. I will definitely not lose the prestige of our Li family when I go here!" Li Jiancheng didn't expect his father to agree to his suggestion so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and promised with red eyes.
"You, go ahead and send someone around the mountain to talk to Zhongjian. How to fight, listen to his advice. You two were brothers back then, so it's right for you to step forward to help him now!" Li Yuanxiao
Then he stood up, walked to the eldest son, and put his hands on his shoulders.
Forcing oneself to stand up for others is not in line with the Li family's principles of doing things. But Jiancheng is so weak, there must be some strong support, right? He looked at Yuanji, who was smart, and then at Shimin, who had many talents under his command. For a moment,
