Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 779
Guanzhong.

Capital, Daxing.

Li Yuan entered the sea as a dragon and entered the forest as a tiger.

Taking advantage of Dou Jiande, Li Mi, and Wang Shichong's scuffle in the Central Plains, he finally found an opportunity to flee all the way west and into Guanzhong.

The Xiaoguo army was naturally very happy when the soldiers entered Guanzhong, and they finally returned to their hometown, and they also supported Li Yuan who brought them back to Beijing.

At this time, Guanzhong was empty, and Xuanwei Wensheng, the left guard, took a small army from Xijing and was going to Luoyang to attack Li Mi.Yang Guang hadn't been killed when Wei Wensheng sent troops. He was ordered by the emperor to go out of Beijing to Luoyang to seek thieves. Who knew that the emperor was killed after he came out.

Then Wang Shichong embraced an emperor, and Li Yuan embraced another emperor.

Of course, Wei Wensheng should support the emperor of Guanzhong, but he led his troops in Luoyang at this time, and all the food and grass in the army were supplied by Wang Shichong. Many generals and schools under him were also bought by Wang Shichong. In Pengcheng, it was difficult to return to Beijing. Under such circumstances, Wei Wensheng finally had to express his support for Wang Shichong and support the king of Yue as the emperor.

But in this way, when Li Yuan entered the pass, Wei Wensheng was designated as a traitor and could no longer return to the pass.

"It's better for Wei Xuan not to return to Beijing."

Li Yuan said to his three sons, "If he comes back, he will still be in trouble."

After all, Wei Wensheng is not alone, he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under him, not to mention that he stayed in Xijing for the past few years, and he has a left-behind team here, who has a better grasp of this place than Li Yuan.

How would Li Yuan want him to come back now?
After taking the opportunity to list Wei Xuan as a traitor, Li Yuan acted quickly.

As soon as he entered Guanzhong, Li Yuan held an important meeting with his confidants.

At this meeting, Li Yuan decided to divide all Guanzhong troops into three armies, and the three armies were further divided into left and right wings.

At the same time, he also decided to set up a general's mansion, and opened the mansion to set up staff members, and Li Yuan was the general.

He was supposed to be one of the six auxiliary ministers, and the prime minister Nayan, but now Li Yuan wants to call himself a general, which is undoubtedly to get rid of the other auxiliary prime ministers.

Wang Shichong was a traitor, so he was naturally expelled from the list of auxiliary government officials. Chen Leng stayed in Jianghuai to protect his son from illness and died in Pengcheng.

But Li Yuan was not satisfied, but wanted to set up another Grand General's Mansion, which was equivalent to Luo Cheng's Marshal's Mansion, and he wanted to transfer the center of the Guanzhong court to his General's Mansion.

so that he can take full power.

After the meeting.

Li Yuan met the emperor and the regent Empress Dowager Xiao, and presented a list.

Xiao Shi took over.

I saw a list of appointed officials written on it.

Li Yuanjin became king of the Tang Dynasty, became a general, and Xu opened the mansion.

Li Jian became the Duke of Longyou County, the governor of the left-led army, and the left three armies were under his command.

Li Shimin is the Duke of Dunhuang County, the right leader is the governor, and the right three armies are under his command.

Liu Wenjing is the Sima, Chai Shao is the chief historian, Tang Jian, Wen Daya, and Wen Dayou brothers are the secretary and so on.

Shen Guang, a hero, was appointed a Jiannan pacifier and sent to appease Jiannan and Yunnan. It was obvious that he wanted to seize Shen Guang's military power and push him out of the center.

Li Yuan also specially asked his son Li Yuanji to be the Duke of Nanyang County, and let him lead an army to guard Wuguan.This is the route they took when they entered the customs, and now he sent this son to guard it.

There was a long list, all of them belonged to Li Yuan.

The Xiaoguo army who came back from Jiangnan, as well as some soldiers and horses who had stayed behind in Guanzhong, totaled about 12 people. Li Yuan divided them into six armies, but handed them over to his son to lead them.

The commanders of the following six armies are also basically Li Yuan's people.

Not to mention the establishment of his General's Mansion, the intention is very obvious.

But after the Empress Dowager Xiao saw it, she just told Li Yuan about military and state affairs through the screen, and bothered King Tang.Faced with Li Yuan's cross-border behavior, Xiao Shi did not get angry, blamed, or objected. In fact, she had already expected this day.

At the beginning, she had proposed to go to Liaodong, but she no longer had any hope for the Sui Dynasty. Li Yuan's behavior was already expected.

Li Yuan did not expect Empress Dowager Xiao to be so cooperative.

After receiving the edict from the Empress Dowager Regent, he immediately began to seize power in an all-round way.

On the one hand, Li Yuan sent his sons and sons-in-law, brothers and nephews of the family to lead the army, and at the same time, he also rewarded the noble officials in Guanzhong and the soldiers of Xiaoguo.

The most ruthless thing Li Yuan did was to award honors to all 12 generals in Guanzhong.

Awarding honorary officers to 12 people at a time is simply breaking through the sky.

Not only did he award honorary officers to the soldiers, Li Yuan immediately awarded honorary officers to all people over the age of 60 in Guanzhong, and those who were over [-] years old were awarded honorary officers.

As for the original officials, they were all promoted by one rank.

As for the original nobles, Li Yuan expressed quite generously that they could all be restored to the titles they had three years ago.Daye changed the nobility system in three years, leaving only the third class of princes and marquises. At that time, many noble titles were dismissed.

Now Li Yuan generously stated that all uncle men below Hou have recovered.In addition, the county magistrates who were dismissed before have also been restored.And for those who supported him, Li Yuan, he even conferred titles on them.

Some old nobles and old officials in Daxing City were a little scared to pee when they saw this situation.

"Conferring officials and conferring titles should not be too indiscriminate. How can a country's famous treasures be conferred indiscriminately?"

But Li Yuan ignored these advices at all. When he talked with his son and son-in-law, he showed his true attitude, "Yang Guang was too stingy with rewards at the beginning, so everyone was unwilling to follow him. Now when our Li family started a business, You can't be stingy with title rewards. The most important thing right now is to control people's hearts and seize the world first, as for the rest, that can be discussed in the future."

Li Yuan patted Li Jiancheng on the shoulder, "If my Li family really wins the world in the future, even if I am old and unable to deal with these things, but in the future, when the time is right, you can still reduce your title and title."

Although Li Yuan was messing around, it has to be said that his actions still attracted the support of countless noble officials and soldiers. After all, who would not want to be promoted and conferred titles.

And Li Yuan was also generous to the Yang family. After entering the customs, he took out a lot of money and silk from the treasury of Xijing to reward those soldiers. At that time, everyone was promoted and awarded honors. ?

For a time, Li Yuan's reputation soared, and the Guanzhong soldiers only recognized Li Yuan but not the emperor of the Yang family.

"Father, now we only occupy a corner of Guanzhong. There is Liang Shidu in Shuofang, Yun Dingxing in Hetao, Qiang rebellion in Longyou, Tuyuhun also took the opportunity to rebel in Fuguo, and Xiao Mi in Jingxiang, Jiannan Yunnan Other places are also cut off from me, not to mention Wang Shichong and Li Mi in Central Plains, Luocheng in Shandong and Liaodong, Dou Jiande in Hebei, Luo Siye in Dingxiang, Liu Wuzhou in Mayi, father, although we have returned to Guanzhong from the west, the situation is still critical."

Li Shimin said to Li Yuan, "Baby has a few strategies to ease this unfavorable situation."

"tell me the story."
