"Your Majesty, one of the reasons why General Feng Ciming was defeated in such a short period of time is that the food and grass were severely deducted, which involved Yu Shiji and Fan Zigai, two popular men in front of the emperor, as well as the Zheng family among the seven sects and five surnames. , General Feng was convicted and his descendants were implicated, which was also the result of the joint action of these three parties." Shen Guoer looked at Wang Junlin with a gloomy expression and added a few words.
Wang Junlin was thoughtful and said: "Li Mi has a lot of friends in the court. Perhaps he secretly made trouble and bribed Feng Ciming through his connections to prevent Feng Ciming's food from being delivered on time. As a result, the imperial army did not have enough food and the soldiers had to eat it. If you don't have a full stomach, your combat power will be less than 50%, so you will lose easily."
In Wang Junlin's view, although generals would inevitably die before the battle, and General Feng Ciming took the battlefield as his final destination and died a worthy death, the situation was so chaotic that Yang Guang and the powerful officials in the court deliberately covered up the truth for their own benefit, looking for culprits. The people who make pots are really despicable.
Shen Guoer was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "I immediately sent an order to people in Luoyang and Dongdu to investigate this matter."
After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty, Shan Xiongxin has now become the sixth head of Wagang Village. Do you want to contact Shan Xiongxin and ask him to do some research inside Wagang Village?"
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "No, Li Mi is extremely cunning. Shan Xiongxin may not be able to defeat Li Mi in this regard. If he rashly inquires, his relationship with us may be exposed."
"In addition, collect all the battle cases commanded by Xu Maogong of Wagang Village. The more detailed the better. After collecting them, give a copy to each of Yuchi Jingde and Luo Shixin so that they can learn from them." Wang Junlin knew that Wagang was well aware of it. The rebels in the village cannot be equated with other rebels. Zhai Rang will soon withdraw from the stage of history and be assassinated by Li Mi. However, the combination of Li Mi and Xu Maogong, plus Cheng Yaojin, Xie Yingdeng and others cannot be underestimated.
Originally, in the original history, Wang Bodang, a tiger general, would follow Li Mi to Wagang Village, but when Wang Junlin put down Yang Su's rebellion in Luoyang last year, he captured him alive and has now been sent to Snake Island for training. After Nie Xiaoyu trains him, he will take over Shan Xiongxin's position and become the commander-in-chief of Wang Junlin's Xiongwu Camp.
Xu Mao
Duke Li Ji, also known as Li Ji during the Tang Dynasty, had a reputation in history that was only slightly weaker than that of the military god Li Jing. King Junlin would never despise his military use. In his opinion, it was worthy of study by his generals, and he knew that the Wagang Army was because of Because Li Mi and Xu Maogong have great ambitions, they must not limit their scope of activities to Dongjun. Although Shan Xiongxin has this move, it is uncertain how effective it will be in the future. Therefore, sooner or later, their Far East Army will fight against Wagangzhai. meet.
After Shen Guoer wrote down Wang Junlin's instructions, she added: "Your Majesty, the biggest difference between Wagang Village and other rebels in recent years is that they treat the people of the county where they are very kind and never rob the local people. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Wagang Shanzhuang has quietly grown. In order to gain the support of the surrounding people, the Wagang Army did not hesitate to sacrifice the near and seek the distant. They marched west to Xingyang and south to Liangjun to plunder development materials, but they never went to nearby Lingchang and Wei. Even during Yang Su's rebellion, even though they knew that Baima City's defense was empty, they never thought of attacking this county. This time they took control of the entire Dongcheng City in just over half a month. County, and during this battle with Feng Ciming, the Wagang Army was able to sneak out of the encirclement quietly from under the eyes of the officers and soldiers. On the one hand, it is certainly related to the mutiny of the officers and soldiers themselves, but on the other hand, it may also have a lot to do with their usual good deeds. Big relationship.”
Wang Junlin nodded happily, looked at Shen Guoer with admiration and said, "Yes, Guoer's analysis is correct. This is indeed the case."
"Wagang Village no longer hides its strength. Xu Maogong appears on the stage of history. This probably means that the troubled times of the Sui Dynasty are finally coming. It is estimated that the Turks in the north are also ready to make a move. Li Yuan and his son will also surface." Shen Guoer left. Afterwards, Wang Junlin sighed secretly.
…
…
"Troubled times are coming!" In the palace of Tang Guogong in Taiyuan City, Tang Guogong Li Yuan handed the newspaper in his hand to his eldest son Li Jiancheng, rubbed his tired brow, and looked complicated in front of his three sons and a group of staff. Say these four words.
Since arriving in Taiyuan, Li Yuan has secretly begun to accumulate power and food. However, there are too many trivial matters, and some things are very troublesome to promote, and the risks are not small. It needs
Do it secretly.
"Father is too tired, but he tells his elder brother to do many things, but because I am a little younger, he never leaves it to me." Li Shimin thought sadly, but he was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart.
To be honest, Li Shimin had quite a few complaints about other members of the family. This was partly because his father looked down on him and did not arrange important matters for him. However, his younger brother Li Yuanji was naughty and cruel by nature, and there was even a scandal of hunting and killing maids. As for his elder brother Li Jiancheng , Li Shimin secretly looked down upon him.
It is undeniable that his eldest brother Li Jiancheng is a magnanimous person, and he is also quite good at handling trivial matters. He has now become his father's right-hand man. But in Li Shimin's view, these trivial matters are done by his father's staff, and the eldest brother should be responsible for it alone, and the eldest brother His indecisiveness was most despised by him.
While he was secretly cursing, Li Shimin heard his father ask his eldest brother: "After the completion of the construction and the beginning of spring, what will be the public sentiment in Taiyuan County?"
Li Jiancheng said quickly: "Reporting to my father, there was a heavy snowstorm in Taiyuan last winter. Countless people and livestock froze to death, and many people also froze to death. Although my father raised some food and opened a porridge shop, there were still many refugees who came to the county. The city is coming. Last month, more than 30,000 refugees appeared near the county town, and in the first ten days of this month, more than 13,000 people came to the county town to beg for food."
After a pause, Li Jiancheng continued: "Now the counties have written letters, asking my father to send people to forcibly drive the refugees back to their hometowns, or directly drive them out of the county, so as not to cause unexpected chaos!"
Li Jiancheng answered loudly and calmly, with a calm look on his face. Li Yuan's staff and officials nodded secretly after looking at it, thinking that the eldest son was stable and talented, which was a blessing to everyone.
"Ignoring the letters from each county, Jiancheng, what do you think we should do with these refugees? Should we forcibly expel them?" Li Yuan asked with a sophisticated tone.
"Reporting to my father, in my opinion, we should not deport the refugees, but we should force them to return to their hometowns and seize the time to cultivate the land. We are now short of too much food." Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and said.
Li Yuan was a little disappointed. Although this answer was pertinent, any staff member could imagine it.
