Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 712 Trapped Beast Li Yuan
"Li Yuan?" Yang Guang frowned.

"Your Majesty, Li Sanniang, the daughter of Li Yuan, is Luo Cheng's noble concubine. Moreover, I heard that Li Sanniang is still leading more than [-] troops to guard Linyi, and she has made it clear that she wants to fight the imperial court to the end. Among them, Li Yuan's determination makes people vigilant. "Yuan Chong has no personal grievances with Li Yuan, and these words are just from the standpoint of his prime minister.

The emperor frowned.

Yes, these days, who else can really be trusted.

Although Li Yuan is also a relative of the emperor like Dugu Zun, it is obviously far behind Dugu Zun.

Luo Siye was still his son-in-law, but it turned out to be the opposite.

Luo Cheng is his most trusted general, and he also opposes him.

"Your Majesty, the biggest enemy of the imperial court today is not actually from those Liang Emperors, Wu Emperors, and Chu Emperors, but from Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng is the real confidant. Although Luo Cheng has not moved yet, his momentum has become Although he is as immovable as a mountain in Liaodong, he is in contact everywhere. If it hadn’t been for Dugu usurping the loyalty of the general before, I am afraid that he would be able to take down Fan Yang in Beiping without a single soldier, and then there would be no one to stop him When he enters the customs, the army enters the customs and follows the trend."

Those Liang masters, Xue Ju, Li Gui, Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong, etc., are just separatists, such as Xiao Xian, who are directly supported by a group of rebels, and their internal affairs are still a mess. Although such rebels have great momentum, But it's not terrible.

Prosperity is also hasty, and death is also hasty, just like many anti-kings who have been wiped out by the court, once the dynasty is defeated, it will be completely over.

But Luo Cheng is different.

Yuan Chong has studied Luo Cheng a lot, and found that Luo Cheng has been in Liaodong for the past few years, and he forcibly turned a barren land on the newly conquered frontier into a piece of iron. Now it is as stable as a paradise, asking for money If you have money, you need food and food, and he has also attracted many vassals.

This is the real heartache.

In particular, this guy didn't rush to become king and emperor like other anti-kings. Instead, he pulled King Qi out to proclaim himself emperor, and made the emperor the Supreme Emperor. With this hand, he minimized the internal instability.

"If Li Yuan also votes for Luo Cheng, like Zhang Xutuo, Xue Shixiong, Du Fuwei, Liu Wuzhou, Luo Siye and others, then Jiangdu is in danger, and His Majesty is in danger!"

"Then what shall I do?"

"The safest thing is to strike first."

The emperor was still a little hesitant. He was really worried about Li Yuan all the time, but now he didn't have many people who could use him.

"Let's recruit Li Mi first. As for Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, etc., if they are willing to accept the recruitment, I can grant them the title of Duke of the Kingdom and let them command the troops of the headquarters. The land they occupy will also be under their jurisdiction. As long as they are willing to send troops to encircle and suppress Du Fuwei, Zhang Xutuo, Luo Gui, Luo Yi and other rebels."

There are enemies everywhere, and with the current strength of the Jiangdu court, it is no longer possible to fight on all sides.Now the emperor can only accept Yuan Chong's suggestion, and hit the heart of the heart first, and this heartache is Luo Cheng's party.

"Draft an edict to depose Qi Wang Yang Hao as a commoner, and list Luo Cheng, Luo Siye, Luo Gui, Luo Yi, etc. as rebels, and order the loyal warriors in the world to rise up against them, and anyone who can kill Luo Cheng , Conferred the title of Duke, and rewarded 3000 taels of gold. Those who killed Luo Siye, Luo Gui, Luo Yi, etc., were all made marquises, and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."

later.

The emperor called Li Yuan into the palace again.

The emperor cared about Li Sanniang's affairs to Li Yuan and asked Li Yuan to handle the matter well.

When Li Yuan left the palace, his back was wet. Just now the emperor's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Back in the mansion, Li Yuan sighed deeply.

He and this emperor's cousin are actually not a few years apart, but their lives are not on the same track at all, and their relationship has never been better.

The emperor had always been suspicious of him before, but now he finally used him as a prime minister, but he was still suspicious of him.

"Father, what are you sighing for?"

Li Yuan then told his son Shimin about his current situation.

"Your third sister doesn't know why, but she wants to rebel with Luo Cheng."

Yuan Jihe came in, and after hearing about it, he said, "Father, I think Luo Cheng's momentum is very strong now, maybe he can really succeed."

"What's the point of success? Although Luo Cheng has a strong army, but he has no foundation and no support from the gentry and bureaucrats, how can he succeed?" Li Yuan still held his attitude.He thought that although Luo Cheng was very powerful now, Luo Cheng hadn't really sent troops yet, and if he wanted to send troops, his weaknesses would inevitably be exposed.

"Father, a companion is like a tiger, and the emperor is now like a violent mad tiger. I think we can no longer stay here, so we should find a way to leave." Li Shimin suggested.

"Leave, where are you going? I am the prime minister now, where can I go?"

"Father, Xiao Yu and Lai Huer are also prime ministers. Didn't they all leave Jiangdu and go to the control area? Lai Huer went to Pengcheng, and Xiao Yu went to Taiyuan. I thought my father could seek to return to Guanzhong."

"Guanzhong?"

"Exactly. Right now, there is chaos everywhere, but Guanzhong is still relatively stable. Although there are rebellions in Longyou, Hexi, and Shuofang, they have never endangered Guanzhong. So father, why don't you find an opportunity to go to Guanzhong to dispatch troops to fight against the king for rebellion?" name, find a way to leave Jiangdu and go to Guanzhong.”

"Guanzhong."

Li Yuan hesitated.

The current Jiangdu is too dangerous, there are rebels on all sides, and Jiangdu has no danger to defend.

"Today the emperor came to me and talked to me about wanting me to lead troops to Jiangnan to flatten Du Fuwei. He also said that after Du Fuwei was defeated and Danyang was taken back, he wanted to move the holy car to Jiangning in Danyang. I Your Majesty sees that the current situation in Jiangbei is too chaotic, so I want to retreat to Jiangnan, hoping to stay in a corner, thinking that if the north is not protected at that time, I also want to keep the southeast half of the country."

"Hmph, if the north cannot be preserved, how can the south of the Yangtze be preserved?" Li Shimin sneered.

"I thought the same way, so I advised His Majesty to lead the Xiaoguo army back to Xijing, but His Majesty said that the road back to Beijing is blocked and it is difficult to return to Beijing."

There is Li Mi under the city of Luoyang, Luo Gui and Zhang Xutuo in Shandong, and Dou Jiande in Hebei.

As for going to Xijing, the road from the last time I came was also blocked this time.

Because along the way, Zuo Caixiang, Meng Rang, Du Fuwei, Lin Shihong, and Xiao Xian were heavily blocked.

The emperor is already trapped in Jiangdu, and there may be a chance to go south.

"Only the Xiaoguo Army is left in Jiangdu, but most of the Xiaoguo Army are recruited from Luoyang and Guanzhong. How are they willing to stay in Jiangnan forever?"

"I also told His Majesty about this. His Majesty said that he planned to give Xiaoguojun all the young widows who lost their husbands in the land of Jianghuai because of the turmoil. The soldiers of the Guo army are Yongye Tian, ​​and from then on let the Xiao Guo army settle down in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Absurd, this is seeking death!" Li Shimin snorted and pointed out the stupidity of the emperor's plan.

Li Yuan sighed deeply.
