Chapter 865: Suppressing the rebellion is so simple
Li Mu fell silent.
Mrs. Lu is right, the world's achievements and evaluation of Li Jiancheng are really biased.
Li Jiancheng was nine years older than Li Shimin, and when Li Yuan had disobedient intentions, Li Shimin was just a child who was brought along by Li Yuan when he was an official in Taiyuan. At this time, Li Jiancheng, who was of the same mind as Li Yuan and his son, was already in charge of his own affairs in his hometown in Hedong.
He made friends with heroes all over the world, recruited talented people, and recruited talents for the future rise of the Li family. He traveled around Luoyang and Chang'an. At that time, Li Jiancheng could be said to be a venture capitalist in logistics, and all the young talents in the world admired him.
After Taiyuan raised troops, Li Jiancheng also showed strong military capabilities. During this period, he and Li Shimin, one was the commander-in-chief of the left army and the other was the commander-in-chief of the right army. They cooperated with each other and made great progress. They defeated Gao Deru in Xihe.
In the battle of Huoyi to defeat Song Laosheng and the battle of Tongguan to defend Qu Tutong, Li Jiancheng's performance was not inferior to that of Li Shimin, and even slightly exceeded it.
Moving into Chang'an became a watershed in the military achievements of the two brothers. Li Yuan became the king of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng became the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jiancheng was immediately promoted to the prince of the Tang Dynasty. According to the convention, the prince generally
He stayed in the capital to assist the emperor in handling government affairs. Therefore, during this period, Li Jiancheng rarely led troops out to fight. He did not lead troops in battles, so he naturally received few military honors. But no one can deny his contribution in logistics. Li Shimin and Li Yuanji led the troops outside
, not once was the battle defeated due to lack of food and fodder.
You know, even now, Li Shimin has been the emperor for five years. The Tang Dynasty has still not recovered from the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Back then, Li Jiancheng was able to maintain food and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. This is
His talent in domestic affairs is definitely beyond the reach of today's Li Shimin.
Even so, Li Jiancheng still showed his military ability. Because Li Shimin adopted the attitude of "those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish" towards the Shandong gentry, Liu Heitai raised troops to rebel for the second time and was defeated by Li Shimin's troops, but he escaped
Later, Liu Heitai returned with borrowed troops. Taking advantage of Li Shimin's delay in dispatching his troops, he conquered several states and the Tang army was unable to defeat him. Li Yuan first sent Li Yuanji as commander to try to defeat Liu Heitai, but the battle was unfavorable. Subsequently, he changed commanders three times.
In the end, Li Jiancheng went into battle and supervised the troops to attack. In less than two months, he successfully put an end to Liu Heitai's rebellion and killed Liu Heitai and eleven of his brothers, thus eliminating future troubles forever.
Comparing the two brothers, Li Jiancheng was good at martial arts but not weak at martial arts, while Li Shimin was a little less good at martial arts and martial arts. The later Zhenguan rule was achieved only after Li Shimin became emperor, gradually matured and was assisted by famous ministers and good generals.
Li Jiancheng, who was nine years older than him, was a man of both civil and military ability from the beginning.
If not, how could he be favored by the world-famous Lu Cainv?
…
Faced with Mrs. Lu's questioning, Li Mu could not say anything.
He knew that the woman in front of him was probably his 'biological mother'. As her child, who was born in ten months of pregnancy, he was not qualified to blame her, and he should have the same hatred.
However, this is all based on the premise that he is 'Li Mu'. He is Li Mu, but this Li Mu is not the other 'Li Mu'. This is not the same thing.
He couldn't feel Mrs. Lu's hatred. On the contrary, from the time he met Li Shimin until now, Li Shimin could call him "good". Although there were some episodes, it was not enough to make him hate Li Shimin.
Let him assume the responsibility of Li Jiancheng's son and rebel against Li Shimin. Li Mu can't even do it. This is not just a matter of personal feelings. Because he knows that Li Shimin is a good emperor. Since the beginning of Chinese history, when talking about the word "Ming Jun",
Li Shimin is definitely the number one figure. The achievements of Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu are not fake. Li Mu's family knows his own affairs. Although he has the golden finger of the system, he can often do things that ordinary people cannot do, but this
They are all small things, not big things. Governing the country is definitely a big thing. He has no confidence that he can do better than Li Shimin, and he also knows that his character cannot handle the country like Li Shimin day and night.
Big deal.
In contrast, he would rather be an idle person with a tall person to support him when the sky falls.
"I will not do anything harmful to nature because of your hatred." Li Mu turned his head away and said indifferently.
He didn't know what attitude to adopt when facing this woman who was his biological mother but almost a stranger. He understood that since he had inherited the body of 'Li Mu', he should be able to bear the obligations that 'Li Mu' should bear.
.But the problem is that Mrs. Lu has not fulfilled any obligations to 'Li Mu'.
Li Mu could feel this from the body's instinctive reaction.
I remember that when he didn't want to go back to Mayi to find Sun, his body reacted very strongly, as if 'Li Mu' had a spirit in the sky. But now, he doesn't feel anything at all.
Today, even if the soul in this body is really 'Li Mu', I'm afraid he will make the same choice as himself.
Or will he be like the characters in the TV series, who will rebel in anger after learning the truth, and then the world will be in chaos and everyone will be devastated?
Li Mu doesn't think he can do such a thing. He came to this world to make the world a better place, not to make people miserable. What's more, he is not alone now. He has a wife and three children.
, with so many more involved, it was impossible for him to block them too.
Therefore, he had to refuse, and the refusal had to be straightforward, without giving Mrs. Lu any illusions.
"You -" Mrs. Lu wanted to accuse Li Mu, but when the words came to her lips, she found that she couldn't say anything.
How can you say this? The son is true, but as a mother, she has not raised him for even a day, so she has to bear the burden of hatred? Not to mention Li Mu, she herself feels that it cannot be justified.
Mrs. Lu really never thought that such an episode would happen after she met her son. She laughed sadly and said: "In that case, you can take care of things here -"
"You don't care?" Li Mu looked at Mrs. Lu in surprise, feeling a little incomprehensible. He made such a big noise and just gave up?
"I said, everything I did was for my son." Mrs. Lu looked at Li Mu and said seriously: "Mother wants to give you this world, mother wants you to avenge your father - but if you don't want to
If you do, then don’t do it. Mom owes you too much and won’t force you to do anything.”
"I..." Li Mu didn't know what to say, but the word 'mother' was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.
Mrs. Lu didn't force herself, she smiled and called Aunt Rong over.
"Mommy, I have recognized my son."
There was no surprise on Aunt Rong's face. She had obviously known the news for a long time. Aunt Rong looked at Li Mu, bowed and saluted, and said, "I have met the young master."
"I'm not -" Li Mu wanted to explain, but Mrs. Lu said: "You don't have to recognize me as your mother, but I must recognize you. Grandma has followed me for many years and is not an outsider. As for this young master, you also
Well deserved."
Li Mu had no choice but to sigh and finally agreed.
"I'm tired. All matters here are left to my son." Mrs. Lu looked at Aunt Rong and said, as if to emphasize: "What my son says will be whatever!"
"No," Nanny Rong responded and bowed her head in submission.
Mrs. Lu walked out of the door and returned to the small courtyard where she lived. Li Mu watched her go away and looked back at the door of the guest house.
"King Qi, come out! His Majesty asked me to give you a message. As long as you surrender, acknowledge your mistakes, correct them, and accept your mistakes, he will find a way to spare your life..."
…
After a cup of tea, King Qi and his party were tied up and escorted out.
It's not that they didn't resist, but they were helpless. Aunt Rong was really powerful. With all her armor on her body and the bonuses on her equipment, her combat effectiveness was not even improved. Yan Hongxin and others looked quite scary, but facing Aunt Rong's
Brutal collision', he couldn't even hold on for three rounds and was split in half.
Yin Hongzhi, Li You and others didn't dare to continue to resist. They all lay on the ground, waiting to be tied up.
At this point, all the kings of the four directions died.
In the Daqi Dynasty, only Li You and Yin Hongzhi were left.
"Why!" When Yin Hongzhi was escorted out, he stared at Aunt Rong. He knew Mrs. Lu, and of course he had met Aunt Rong. When he saw Aunt Rong, he knew it must be Mrs. Lu's place.
Something went wrong, things were irreversible, and he admitted it. He just wanted to know why! Things that were clearly agreed to change suddenly changed!
Aunt Rong didn't say a word. She didn't have a good impression of Yin Hongzhi and had no obligation to answer his questions. When he continued to make noises, she knocked him unconscious with a knife.
"Li Mu!" When Li You passed by Li Mu, he struggled desperately to pounce on him: "You treacherous person, do you dare to fight with me openly?"
"Pah!" Li Mu raised his hand and mouthed. Li You struggled even more fiercely and cursed: "You asked them to let go of me, what kind of skill do you have!"
"Crack!"
Say one word, a big mouth. After about ten mouths, Li You cried. I don't know whether he was angry or was beaten.
Aunt Rong came to Li Mu and said: "There are hundreds of King Qi's old troops in the front yard. Outside the mansion and in the city, there are at least ten or twenty thousand of King Qi's troops. And we only have a hundred and eighty people here. How to make a decision?"
, Master, let’s make an idea.”
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "I want to spread the news that King Qi has been captured without any help, and then close the gate of the front yard and back house. Wait for a while, don't be in a hurry."
"No," Grandma Rong didn't ask why, turned around and went to execute it.
…
"... After a night of fighting, the King of Qi has been captured and confessed. If you rebels don't get lost and return, you will have no chance after dark..."
Through the door panel, shouts came from inside, and all the generals looked at each other with questions in their heads.
Captured? I didn’t see the army entering the city, so how come I was captured?
Didn't you say there was a confrontation? Why were you captured all of a sudden?
What is going on?
Outside the door, several Qi army generals glanced at each other and gathered in a corner.
One of the 'royalists' said: "Brothers, the King of Qi is the emperor's son. I understand that Li Mu would not dare to actually set a fire, and he would probably trick us. Why don't we kill the generals from all directions at the same time? I don't think the people in the courtyard are really strong."
If there are too many, it will be difficult to deal with them if you only care about one thing and not the other.”
Several captains looked at each other, and one of them said: "What you said makes sense! Someone is here!"
At that moment, several generals took a step forward with swords in their hands and responded in a deep voice: "Here you go!"
These people are not the cannon fodder "peasant army" they temporarily kidnapped from nearby prefectures and counties to make up their numbers. They are real people in the army. They are originally people from Zhechong Prefecture in Qizhou, and their behavior is quite orderly.
Several generals stepped back in unison, drew their swords out of their sheaths at the same time, pointed at the people who suggested rushing in, and shouted: "Take them down!"
The general who spoke first was shocked: "What does this mean? We are really our own people! What do you want to do?!"
At this time, the former colleagues laughed wildly and raised their voices: "Shut up! How could we follow the King of Qi and rebel against the imperial court when we were receiving the imperial salary? The imperial troops and horses had not yet arrived, and we could hardly stand alone. Only then did we
You are trying to delay time by pretending to be a coward. Now that the enemy is approaching, we will naturally abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side! It’s ridiculous that you are actually rebelling! Take them all! Take them all!”
The general who spoke first realized what these people meant and couldn't help but cursed: "Don't pretend to be a good person here. When His Highness the King of Qi gives you rewards, I have never seen you take less! Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor."
,I’m not like you—”
"Then you go die!" The words did not make sense, and the two sides immediately fought and became a mess. The two sides moved around while fighting, and they didn't know how many feet were stepped on on their faces and bodies.
The words spoken outside could also be heard clearly by everyone inside the wall.
Li Mu and General Wang looked at each other with ecstasy in their eyes. They were still a little worried at first, but they finally let go at this moment. The battle outside the wall did not last long. It was obvious that there were still a few people loyal to Qi Wang Li You. After a while,
It was completely wiped out.
After a moment of silence, another voice rang out: "Your Majesty, you are kind to me. We have given up the dark side and turned to the bright side. We are willing to follow you and serve the court. I hope you will fulfill your wishes!"
Li Mu looked at Li You, who had tears in his eyes, and couldn't help but sighed secretly, shook his head and said, "My child, why bother coming?"
Li Mu knew that it was time to appease the rebel generals, otherwise the rebel generals would be frightened and suspicious, and they might rebel again.
Originally, they rebelled, and there was King Qi suppressing them. No matter how incompetent Li Mu was, they still had some order. But if they rebelled, even King Qi and the others would not be able to follow them. The only way out was to use a trap to threaten the imperial court.
Then it's really over.
So, Li Mu decisively opened the door and welcomed him out. At this time, he could not show weakness. Whether he was too cautious or trembling, it might cause psychological changes in people. Even if there was only one person, Li Mu had to suppress them with his momentum.
Of course, necessary comfort and rewards are also indispensable. We also need to rely on them to set an example and recruit soldiers and horses in the city.
When Li Mu returned to the courtyard, the Qi army outside had transformed and turned into imperial soldiers and horses again. In order to show off in front of Li Mu, General Wang took the initiative to inform the whole city and tell them to "change the flag"
