The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 107 Disharmony
"Li Jing of Fenyang and Li Jing of Shouyang merged into Yuci County, Yang Shanhui and Su Dingfang conquered Taigu County; Xue Wanche conquered Jiaocheng, and marched out of Mujing City with Pei Xingyan..."

When the battle report arrived in Taiyuan, the atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense.

But in fact-

Rather than saying that the whole city was tense, it would be better to say that Pei Ji was nervous, because as soon as the news arrived, he issued seven orders in a row, from closing the city gates, to prohibiting entry and exit, to activating the entire army to enter a wartime state ...

Pei Ji stretched out his hand so long because the good-tempered Bingzhou Chief Li Shenfu was dissatisfied with him.

Li Shenfu is the younger brother of the emperor Li Yuan. He is not outstanding in the Li family, and his reputation is far less than that of his elder brother Li Shentong. He is skilled in bowing and horses with heavy iron spears.

Li Shenfu is different from the exquisite Li Shentong. He is modest and prudent, low-key and pragmatic, so he has always been highly valued by Li Yuan. Since Li Yuanji was transferred from Taiyuan to Chang'an, Li Yuan sent him to Taiyuan to take over the post of Bingzhou Governor. In charge of state military affairs.

During his time in charge, he fought with the Sui army both offensively and defensively, and he governed the region without any crime. He had a good reputation among the people, but after the arrival of Prime Minister Pei Ji, everything changed.

Three months ago, Pei Ji volunteered to lead an army of [-] to support Taiyuan, and was appointed Minister of Bingzhou Xingtai, in charge of the government affairs of Bingzhou.Originally, Pei Ji and Li Shenfu, who was in charge of military affairs, did not interfere with each other, but Li Yuan also gave Pei Ji the privilege of "doing things cheaply".

After Pei Ji arrived, he unceremoniously took advantage of the privilege of "doing it cheaply" and took away the military command right belonging to Li Shenfu.As a result, Li Shenfu, the governor of Bingzhou, became the deputy general who carried out Pei Ji's order.

Of course, Pei Ji had indeed mobilized the people to actively prepare for war in the past few months. Li Shenfu felt that everyone was doing Li Tang's good and should work together, so he endured it.He originally thought that after the war broke out, Pei Ji would return the military power to himself as a general.However, when the Sui army's three breadwinners came over, the scene that Li Shenfu expected did not happen. On the contrary, Pei Ji, in his capacity as the first officer, nervously issued seven retreat policies in succession.

Pei Ji won!

Finally succeeded in annoying Li Shenfu, who is known for his good temper.

Li Shenfu felt that Pei Ji didn't understand military affairs at all, and it was completely nonsense.

At this time, Li Shenfu walked quickly to the door of Pei Ji's office, the armor leaves all over his body rattled, his eyes were very sharp, and the anger in his heart was hard to conceal.

Pei Ji just came out from inside and almost bumped into the furious Li Shenfu. Pei Ji took a step back and said awkwardly, "So it's the general."

"I have something to ask Xiangguo." Li Shenfu said coldly.

Pei Ji smiled politely: "General, please come in."

"No, it's fine here!"

Li Shenfu's cold tone was like a gust of cold wind blowing away Pei Ji's hypocritical smile, and Pei Ji's face was also covered with a layer of frost. He said indifferently and politely: "I hope I can help the general."

"I ordered today to attack the Sui Army on the North Road led by Xue Wanche and Pei Xingyan. Why, no, why did Xiangguo not allow me to leave the city? Do you know that you missed the best opportunity to defeat them one by one? Now the Sui Army on the Three Routes is over. Are you doing this on purpose?"

Li Shenfu stared at Pei Ji like a knife. Today he was going to lead the cavalry to fight against the Northern Route Army of the Great Sui Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Wang Junkuo, who was guarding the city, refused to open the door and refused to listen to his orders. Li Shenfu was almost outraged. Knife cut people.

Pei Ji said coldly: "It's very simple. The Sui army didn't carry siege weapons. It was obviously trying to lure our army out of the city. I don't want the general's entire army to be wiped out."

Li Shenfu was furious: "It seems that Xiangguo really thinks that he can do whatever he wants!"

Pei Ji said: "I don't understand what the general means by that?"

"Let me just ask you, is it you, Pei Ji, who decides the military power in Taiyuan, or my Li Shenfu? You have too much control, don't you?" Li Shenfu finally angrily uncovered the confusion between the two of them under the watchful eyes of everyone. key issues for several months.

Pei Ji said: "General, the enemy is facing us, we should unite as one, why bother about power..."

"You can't say that. Before you came, the military and political affairs in Taiyuan City were in order! But after you arrived, you made Taiyuan City and Zhou County a mess and complained! Listen carefully, what do the people call us now? From the Tang army? Robbers, bandits... I can bear it, because I don’t want to see the Tang army infighting, but you issued a military order without authorization, so what am I, the Bingzhou governor of the Tang Dynasty is nothing in your eyes, Pei Xiangguo? "

Li Shenfu said sharply: "If you, Pei Ji, dare to say that the official system of the Tang Dynasty is nothing in your eyes today, I, Li Shenfu, go back to Guanzhong."

Pei Ji's face changed, he didn't wear this hat: "The imperial decree is clear and clear, and it made me participate in the defense of Taiyuan. Is there any other interpretation?"

"My grass mud mother, you are just participating!" Li Deliang roared, "You are deceiving people too much! It is you - mother - plotting against the law, and has the heart to replace Hedong."

Pei Ji said in a cold voice: "Li Shenfu, you spout blood!"

With a "shua" of the divine talisman, Li pulled out his sword and pointed at Pei Ji: "Okay, what a spitting person! After Lao Tzu's military power was taken away by you, you wantonly ruined the reputation of Tang Dynasty in Taiyuan and deceived the people of Taiyuan into saying that you are a Turkic man!" Go south, and use this as an excuse to recruit [-] soldiers from the county, and Huoyi's general was replaced by Pei's family, all of which are evidence of your rebellion."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar!

Pei Ji was so angry that his face flushed: "I sent an urgent letter of [-] miles to the Holy Majesty today, and let the Holy Majesty decide the ownership of the military power. You are satisfied!"

"I will also report the evidence of your rebellion to the emperor!" At this point, Li Shenfu shouted: "Jiang Baoyi, before the imperial decree comes, my [-] army will form a battalion of its own from now on, and we will no longer obey any military orders from Pei Ji. ! Yang Tong is absolutely right, this bastard got to be Prime Minister by virtue of 'disloyalty'!"

"Here!" A general responded with a murderous look.

Li Shenfu continued: "Xiang Shanzhi and He Panren led three thousand elites to guard the warehouse day and night. Who dares to abuse their weapons and kill them without mercy. If something happens, I will take care of it."

Xiang Shanzhi and He Panren died suddenly.

Li Shenfu snorted heavily, turned around and strode away.

It is often said that honest people generally do not lose their temper, and when they do, they are even afraid of themselves.

These words were on Li Shenfu's body. There was no doubt about it. When this violent temper broke out, he directly defined Pei Ji as an "unfaithful" traitor, and then entrusted his army away without any foreign enemies. It is to prevent 'internal thieves'!
Pei Ji's face turned blue and white, and his aura was greatly reduced.In terms of identity, he has absolutely nothing to do with the Li talisman, but the "conclusive evidence" of the Li talisman can completely kill him.

Seeing more and more ten soldiers gathered, watching more and more generals follow Li Shenfu, this made him feel very worried. Before the war started, the issue of military power caused discord between generals and prime ministers, and he dreamed It was also unexpected that Li Shenfu directly divided the army into two in the name of treason!
How is this so good?
He has always believed that the division of military power is very clear, he will not intervene in the specific affairs of the army, he just formulates strategies, and then let Li Shenfu implement them, which is very reasonable!Otherwise, what did he come to Taiyuan for?
It never occurred to him that he had intervened too much in the military, which had far exceeded the authority of a 'military division'.For example, for matters such as closing the city gate, it should be negotiated with Li Shenfu, but he did not, but directly ordered it to be closed. This is completely a big interference and inappropriate.

Pei Ji looked at the soldiers with strange eyes, and felt that it was too late to hurry.The more terrifying battle between generals and generals has seriously affected the whole city of Taiyuan.
