Man Tanghong

Chapter 558

Seeing that Li Yuanji ignored him, Li Shentong wanted to continue to ask, but Li Xiaogong murmured first: "My uncle Wang, it is not as easy as you said to eradicate the eight commanding military mansions under Shimin's command.

Let's not talk about whether we have the ability to eradicate them in one go, even if we have, we will lose our troops and our vitality after eradicating them.

This is extremely unfavorable to the current Datang. "

Li Shentong was stunned for a moment, intending to refute Li Shentong, but he didn't say it when it came to his lips.

Because after thinking about it carefully, he found that what Li Xiaogong said was correct. The current Tang Dynasty had serious internal and external troubles, and it was the time to use troops, so it was really not suitable for internal friction.

Otherwise, the country of the Tang Dynasty is likely to fall into unprecedented turmoil, and the Turkic people are also likely to take this opportunity to take over the Central Plains.

Whether it's the former or the latter, he doesn't want to see it.

Seeing that Li Shentong listened to his words, Li Xiaogong continued: "Uncle Wang, don't forget that besides stabilizing the situation in Eastern Shaanxi Province and Capital Province, Li Xiaogong also needs to guard against the Turks.

Li Yi from Youzhou might also be restless.

Therefore, we must ensure that our troops are sufficient to deal with contingencies. "

Li Shentong stared in astonishment, and shouted in disbelief: "You mean... Li Yi will rebel?"

Li Xiaogong nodded, then shook his head and said: "This is just my guess. However, there is a shadow of Li Yi behind the Prince's plan for a coup d'état.

Now that the matter has been exposed, Li Yi will definitely not sit still.

So I guess, Li Yi has a high chance of rebelling. "

Li Shentong's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he shouted, "He dares!!"

Li Xiaogong sighed and said: "Now it's not a question of whether he dares or not, but the matter has come to this point, he only has two options left to choose between rebellion and arrest.

Uncle Wang thinks that he has a heavy army in his hands and lives in a corner, so will he be captured without a fight? "

Li Shentong's face suddenly became ugly.

Li Yi holds a heavy army and lives in a corner of the Tang Dynasty. When there are only two options left: rebellion and capture without a fight, will he capture without a fight?

The answer is no.

Because Li Shentong thought about it carefully, if he was in Li Yi's position, facing the current situation, he would not be caught without a fight.

He would only rise up brazenly when internal and external troubles broke out in Datang, and deal a painful blow to Datang, and then use this to break away from Datang, seek a bigger foundation for himself in the land of dark clouds, and become a tyrant in the Northeast.

If Datang's internal and external troubles are so serious that Datang is unable to parry, he will lead a heavy army to go south to seize this country.

When the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil, as a vassal king with a large army in his hands, if he didn't take the opportunity to seek more benefits and territory for himself, it would be a waste of a godsend opportunity.

And Li Yi is obviously not a person who likes to squander good opportunities, otherwise he would not become the only king with a surname in Tang Dynasty.

"Hearing what you said, Li Yizhen may rebel. We have to prepare early."

Li Shentong gritted his back teeth subconsciously and said.

Li Xiaogong said with emotion: "Now don't we talk about eradicating the eight commanding military mansions under Shimin's command?"

Li Shentong glared at Li Xiaogong fiercely.

Is it time to eradicate Li Shimin's eight commanding military mansions?

You're making fun of me, aren't you? !
Li Yuanji saw that Li Xiaogong had persuaded Li Shentong, and explained the stakes to Li Shentong, so he said, "You don't have to worry about Li Yi, I have already made some arrangements.

However, the eight commanding military mansions under my second brother's command cannot be moved now. "

Li Xiaogong nodded his head to show his understanding, "You can move your whole body with one hair."

Li Yuanji smiled and nodded.

Li Shentong grunted for a while, and didn't say anything more on this issue.

"What should be said, what should not be said, has already been said, the two of you should take people to block the mansion of Pei Ji's party members as soon as possible."

Li Yuanji began to see off the guests.

Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong didn't intend to stay any longer, they bowed and left Guanyun Hall.

……

At noon, Ling Jing escorted Yang Miaoyan and his party to the Tai Chi Palace with a group of Qianniu Guards borrowed from Li Xiuning.

After Li Yuanji got the news, he took his guards to greet him at Gongli Gate.

Since the left and right Beishen mansion, the left and right Tunwei, and the left and right Jianmen mansion have been re-integrated by Li Yuan into Qianniuwei, and handed over to Li Xiuning to lead.

And because in the previous coup in the palace, the Right Tunwei was completely wiped out, and the Zuojianmen Mansion was also disabled, so Li Xiuning made a new reorganization of all the soldiers and horses in the palace.

The nearly [-] soldiers were divided into three parts by Li Xiuning.

Among them, the more than 1000 soldiers in the left and right Beishenfu were expanded to 3000, and they were renamed Qianniu Yuwei, who still served as the imperial guards around Li Yuan.

The original 1 soldiers in the Youjianmen Mansion were reduced to 9000, renamed Qianniu Palace Guards, and still served as guards at the palace gates.

The rest of the soldiers were integrated together, and after streamlining, they formed an army of 5000 people, renamed Qianniuhuangchengwei, who served as the defenders on the walls of the Taiji Palace, and shouldered the responsibility of the former left and right guards. , and some of the responsibilities of the officers and men of the prison gate mansion.

The three thousand soldiers that Ling Jing seconded from Li Xiuning were drawn from the Qianniu Imperial City Guard.

Speaking of which, Li Xiuning's military talent is indeed formidable.

Since she left Taiji Palace that day, she has been staying in Chang'an Xinglu to accompany Ma Sanbao, but through remote command, she completed the reorganization of the soldiers and horses in the palace who had lost their minds.

It sounds easy, but it's not at all easy to do.

You know, after the soldiers and horses in the palace experienced a coup in the palace and a change of general on the spot, the hearts of the soldiers and horses in the palace have long been scattered and chaotic.

It takes a lot of effort just to appease their hearts.

Not to mention sorting out their various intricate relationships and reorganizing them.

Li Xiuning was able to complete these two tasks through remote command in such a short period of time, which shows how powerful Li Xiuning is in military affairs.

If it weren't for the fact that Datang now had many historically famous commanders available, as well as many historically famous generals available, Li Yuanji wanted to ask Li Xiuning for advice and learn how to use troops.

When Li Yuanji arrived at Gonglimen with his bodyguards, Yang Miaoyan and his party hadn't arrived yet, but they caught up with Qianniu Gongweimen of Gonglimen to change defense, and he still knew the official who presided over the change of defense.

It was Chai Shao.

Li Yuanji immediately understood why Li Xiuning was able to complete the reorganization of all the soldiers and horses in the palace in such a short period of time.

Because Li Xiuning used her good wife.

A commander-in-chief who has led the army many times in history and defeated the Turkic invasion.

Although it is still crippled and needs to be lifted to move around, what is crippled is the body, not the brain.

For a commander-in-chief, the brain is the most important core. As long as the brain is fine, they can still exert their due strength.

Li Xiuning himself is quite capable, and with the help of such a capable commander-in-chief to reorganize all the soldiers and horses in the palace, isn't that something that can be easily captured? !
It's just that people are a little cowardly.

After seeing Li Yuanji, not only did he not go up to salute, but pretended not to see him, and ordered the warriors who were carrying him to quickly carry him and run away.

But luck was a bit unlucky, as soon as he ran out of Gongli Gate, he was blocked back by Yang Miaoyan's team.

Li Yuanji took the guards and took the initiative to come forward, angrily and funnyly said: "Why did you see me running? Can I still eat you?"

Chai Shao sat softly on a special couch, rolled his eyelids, and said nothing.

In fact, he really wanted to ask Li Yuanji: Why did I see you running, don't you have any points in your mind?
Ever since he was beaten up by Li Yuanji in front of the Tai Chi Hall last year, his life has not been easy.

Not only was he neglected by Li Shimin, who had always trusted him, but he was also abandoned by his colleagues who were close to him in the past.

Earlier, when he begged Li Yuanji's door because of Li Xiuning's matter, Li Yuanji humiliated him to the point where he was utterly humiliated.

As a result, he didn't have the face to go out of the house to see people for a long time.

After going through so much, he could see clearly that Li Yuanji was his nemesis.

Li Yuanji's status is higher than him, and his force is more than a star and a half higher than him.

He had nothing to do with Li Yuanji, so he could only avoid Li Yuanji.

Try not to suffer three injuries, four injuries, or even more injuries.

Of course, if that's the only way, it's impossible for him to leave without saying a word.

More or less, he would meet Li Yuanji face to face and say a few words on the occasion.

The reason why he left without saying a word was because he didn't want Li Yuanji, an enemy, to laugh at him.

He already has no face in front of Li Yuanji, if he is laughed at by Li Yuanji again, he will feel ashamed.

What kind of joke can Li Yuanji see him?

Can see him secretly 'licking' his own wife's joke.

This is a very common thing in later generations.

Putting it in Datang, it is a manifestation of being hopeless, spineless, and useless.

He doesn't mind other people seeing his miserable side, but he only minds that Li Yuanji, an enemy, sees his miserable side and makes fun of him.

"Why don't you talk? Are you pretending to be deep with me?"

Li Yuanji walked around Chai Shao, but Chai Shao didn't speak, Li Yuanji couldn't help asking.

Chai Shao rolled his eyelids again, but remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji ordered the eight warriors who were carrying Chai Shao: "Take him to Guanyun Palace, and send him back to the residence when he is willing to speak."

When Chai Shao heard this, he finally couldn't keep silent any longer, and he shouted anxiously and irritably, "Can't you let me go?"

Li Yuanji was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "So you can talk, I thought you were dumb."

Chai Shao narrowed his eyes, panted heavily, and looked at Li Yuanji with a humiliated expression.
