The people on the "Dongming" searched for any trace of Kou and Xu all night, but still found nothing. How could they know that the two thieves who stole their account books were hiding on Li Shimin's ship?
As soon as the day broke, Li Shimin took three ships of weapons and began to return. Compared with the empty ambitions when he came, Li Shimin was now confident and had the opportunity to display his talents in the fight for world hegemony.
However, Yan Ling ignored Li Shimin's plans. As soon as he returned to Taiyuan, Yan Ling moved into the newly built military camp and once again led his cavalry to train every day to prepare for the upcoming war. Yan Ling himself
They are very powerful. As long as they are not blocked by several masters of the same level, it is very easy to save their lives on the battlefield. But these cavalry are different. Every time they improve, they will have more chances to survive in the subsequent battles.
While Yan Ling was training the cavalry, Li Shimin was beginning a plan to force his father Li Yuan to rebel. Fearing that a stolen account book alone was not enough for Li Yuan to make up his mind, he also called in his friend Liu Wenjing to set up a plan with Pei Ji.
, wait quietly for Li Yuan to take the bait.
Pei Ji was an official of the Jinyang Palace, and the Jinyang Palace was built by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty when he passed by Jinyang on a work tour. At that time, many local officials wanted to please the emperor, so they searched for beautiful women everywhere to flatter the emperor.
For his enjoyment, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty favored countless maids, but when he left, he did not take any of them away, leaving a large number of beauties in the palace. These beauties were the emperor's women.
As the saying goes, a child is better known than his father, and a father is better known than his son. Li Shimin knew his father's temperament very well. As expected, Li Yuan, who had little resistance to women, soon fell into the beauty trap set by Li Shimin and Pei Ji in Jinyang Palace.
When Li Yuan woke up from Wenwen Village the next day, he knew that he had caused a big disaster. However, misfortunes never come alone. Before Li Yuan could think of a way to suppress the incident, Li Shimin brought the news of the theft of the Dongming Sect's account books and asked Li Yuan to do so.
Li Yuan was ready, but now Li Yuan was completely confused.
In addition to Li Shimin, Li Yuan's other sons were not simple characters. After learning this news, the eldest son Li Jiancheng and the third son Li Yuanji also began to persuade Li Yuan to raise an army. In this way, under the advice of everyone, Li Yuan finally decided to raise an army to fight against the Sui Dynasty.
.
On this day, Yan Lingshang was training soldiers in the military camp when he received news from Li Shimin. The news said that Li Yuan had established himself as a general, with Pei Ji as the commander-in-chief, Liu Wenjing as the commander-in-chief, his eldest son Li Jiancheng, and his second son Li Shimin as the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the three armies.
Prepare to enter Guanzhong and officially join the battlefield for world hegemony!
After learning about this, Yan Ling was both happy and worried. What he was happy about was that Li Yuan had finally raised his troops, and a battlefield expedition was waiting for Yan Ling, and he had a chance to improve his strength. What he was worried about was the movements of the Turks. Now Yan Ling is not
When he first arrived in the world of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, he seemed to know nothing. After living in the army for so long, Yan Ling had a great understanding of the general trend of the world.
Now Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou of the Yingyang faction have defected to the Turks, and were respectively named Dadu Bijia Khan and Dingyang Khan by the Turkic Khan. If these two rebels had been entrusted with the Turkic Khan when Li Yuan marched into Guanzhong,
If the Khan orders an attack on Taiyuan, Taiyuan will not be able to hold on due to its depleted troops. If the Turks take advantage of the situation and invade again, then the Central Plains will be in danger.
Although he longs to conquer the battlefields of the world, Yan Ling does not want the Central Plains to be trampled by foreigners!
Fortunately, Li Yuan had many talented men and several talented sons. Under the advice of these people, Li Yuan exchanged letters with the Turks and at the same time sent people to send envoys to the Turks, pretending to surrender to the Turks and making the Turks lose their wariness towards Taiyuan.
In the past few years, the situation in the Central Plains has been turbulent. The Turks have taken advantage of the situation to rise and implement plans to divide the Central Plains. Nowadays, most of the major rebels in the world are related to the Turks. Li Yuan's overtures made the Turks think that Li Yuan was also frightened by the Turks' power, which was not the case.
Therefore, Taiyuan was stabilized and the things that Yan Ling was worried about did not appear.
Now that Taiyuan was stable, Li Yuan and his son began to mobilize their troops and generals, preparing to march into Guanzhong and capture Chang'an as the beginning of their struggle for world hegemony.
However, the current situation is chaotic, and all people with lofty ideals in the world are paying close attention to the general trend of the world. As soon as the news of Li Yuan's rebellion came out, the whole world began to talk about it.
Among them, the other three great clans, who were also among the four great clans, were the first to receive the news. The reactions of the three great clans were also similar. They were all eager to launch an army to attack the Li clan, which led to the failure of Li Yuan's army and the destruction of the entire clan.
Among them, the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan have this reaction because they have had many years of officialdom disputes with the Li Clan, and they both hate the Li Clan to the core. The Song Clan simply cannot look down on the Li Clan because the Song Clan insists on pure Han ancestry.
, and Li Yuan’s wife is a Hu girl from the Xianbei tribe. Although the Yuwen Clan is not a Hu person, it is not much better. Moreover, the Li Clan is deeply influenced by Hu customs, and is actually not much different from the Hu people. The Song Clan is not much different from the Hu people.
The Song clan has been dissatisfied with the Li clan for a long time, and now the Li clan has launched a rebellion and even has an affair with the Turks. This undoubtedly makes the Song clan's impression of the Li clan even worse.
The major rebels also received the news later, and the reactions of these rebels were different. Some of them didn't care about the process of Li Yuan's army, but simply thought that the Sui Dynasty was exhausted, and even the four great clans began to rebel.
During the Sui Dynasty, there were other rebels who were disdainful of Li Yuan's actions. For example, after Du Fuwei received the news of Li Yuan's revolt, he said disdainfully: "Who is Li Yuan? He had the audacity to surrender to the Turkic First Bi Khan.
He promised to give the Turks their children's treasures from the conquest, which made them feel cold-hearted."
Then ordinary people also knew the news. They didn't think so much. In addition to worrying that the war would affect them, they supported Li Yuan's rebellion more. After all, they were the ones suffering from Yang Guang's tyrannical rule.
, and Li Yuan opened a warehouse in Taiyuan to distribute grain and help the people, and his reputation was very good.
All in all, the people at the bottom believed that Li Yuan was diligent in government and loved the people, and as one of the four great clans, Li Clan had a natural advantage in conquering the world. However, the senior officials who knew Li Yuan as a person were dismissive of this.
But those who are not optimistic about Li Yuan have not noticed that Taiyuan is located in the upper reaches of the Fen River, between the Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River. It controls the mountains and rivers, sits on the back of the world, and is the foundation of Hedong. It has abundant troops and food. In addition, Li Yuan has several
The sons are all talented. Whether it is military or administrative, these sons of Li Yuan are much better than ordinary people. In addition, Li Yuan and his son have extended their kindness, made friends with heroes, and their power has grown rapidly. If Li Yuan is not taken seriously, these
Sooner or later, people will suffer.
However, these had nothing to do with Yan Ling. Ever since he learned that Li Shimin had managed to use deceit to stabilize the Turkic forces, Yan Ling no longer had any worries and could only look forward to the fierce battle that followed.
And Li Shimin did not disappoint Yan Ling. Just after Li Yuan ordered the march to Guanzhong, Li Shimin began to arrange his troops to pave the way for the Li clan to go to Guanzhong. The biggest obstacles were the Sui Dynasty's fierce generals Song Laosheng and Qu Tutong.
An army led by two people.
Yan Ling's mission is to lead his cavalry to become a surprise force to attack Song Laosheng's army, thereby opening up the situation and laying the foundation for victory for the Li clan. (To be continued)
