Man Tanghong

His thoughts were in the clear, not hidden, so the person who should see through could see through at a glance, but Wei Zheng was the only one who told Li Yuanji his thoughts clearly and completely.

Li Yuanji returned to Zhaode Hall, and after listening to Wei Zheng's analysis of Li Yuan's abnormal behavior, he decisively put the matter behind him.

Li Yuan's idea is a good idea, but it is doomed to failure, because he doesn't allow it, so there is nothing to care about.

Li Yuanji was more concerned about why Wei Zheng was the only one who told him about it when there were so many officials on the altar to worship the general, and it was obvious that Li Yuan had a lot of thoughts.

"You mean, everyone else has seen my father's mind?"

Wei Zheng smiled wryly and said, "You can see everything that should be seen..."

Li Yuanji stared at Wei Zheng and said, "Then why are you the only one telling me?"

Wei Zheng's face became even more bitter, "The minister doesn't know."

Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "No, you know, you just don't want to talk about it."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji sighed: "The reason for this is that they are not of one mind with me. If I want to rule you, I still have to go a long, long way."

Wei Zheng smiled wryly and didn't speak.

Since Li Yuanji understood everything, he had nothing to say.

"Where are the Turks now?"

Li Yuanji has nothing to say, because this is expected, Li Shimin is not born with a lot of civil servants and warriors, he is also on the road of continuous conquest, constantly absorbing all talents, constantly recruiting all Talents, finally gathered a large number of civil servants and warriors.

Therefore, things like appeasing people's hearts cannot be done overnight, it needs a long process, and it needs to be gradually figured out.

In comparison, the Turkic invasion is the most critical right now.

Wei Zhenggong cupped his hands and said, "You have to ask King Huai'an and Duke Yi about this matter."

After a group of military officials headed by Li Shentong and Qin Qiong temporarily established the 'Staff Department'.

Civil servants were not allowed to interfere too much in the military, and Wei Zheng didn't take the initiative to go up to inquire, so Wei Zheng only knew that the Turks had already set off in mid-August, and now they have arrived at Shuofang City, the capital of Liangshi.

Afterwards, how many groups the troops will be divided into, and how they will march, he has no idea.

"Then call King Huai'an and Duke Yi to meet here."

Li Yuanji ordered.

Wei Zheng agreed, and went to summon Li Shentong and Qin Qiong.

Not long after, Li Shentong and Qin Qiong appeared in Zhaode Hall.

After Li Shentong gave the salute, without waiting for Li Yuanji to ask questions, he took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, I just got the news that the Turkic people have left Shuofang City and split up with the soldiers and horses of Liang Shidu. The front lines of Zeguan and Yunzhou began to march.

Li Shiji has already rushed to Shizhou to sit in town, Li Shenfu has also rushed to Yunzhou to sit in town, and He Fanren is still guarding Weize Pass. "

Li Yuanji frowned slightly and said, "Has the person sent to assist He Fanren arrived yet?"

Li Shentong clasped his hands and said, "Niu Xiu has already arrived in Jinzhou, and will arrive at Weize Pass in a few days."

Originally, Li Yuanji was looking for a virtuous person to guard Weize Pass, but Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin recommended Niu Jinda when they participated in the military affairs.

Li Yuanji couldn't find a suitable man for a while, and Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin patted their chests to ensure that Niu Jinda had this ability and would not make trouble.

So after weighing it up, Li Yuanji finally sent Niu Jinda to lead [-] infantry, escorted some grain and grass, and rushed to Weize Pass.

It's just that Niu Jinda had been out for half a month before he came to Jinzhou, so he had to be urged.

Although the Turks suffered a big loss at Weize Pass last time, they may not send heavy troops to attack Weize Pass this time, but Weize Pass is still an important gateway for the Tang Dynasty to resist the Turks.

If something goes wrong, the Turks can easily break through Datang's release line and wreak havoc within the Tang Dynasty, so it is necessary to do everything that needs to be done before the Turks come and strengthen their defenses.

"Send someone to urge Niu Xiu to rush to Weize Pass as soon as possible to assist He Fanren in setting up defenses. At the same time, send an order to Kan Leng to rush to Weize Pass to assist He Fanren in guarding the pass."

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanji ordered decisively.

Now Shandong Dao has been largely appeased by Qu Tutong and Li Chengqian. Except for a few people who jumped out of their own strength, there was no big disturbance, so there is no need for Kan Leng to continue to guard against it.

Kan Ling is very close to Weize Pass, and there is no food and grass to slow down the formation. Asking him to help Weize Pass will also add a boost to Weize Pass.

At the same time, it can also help to keep an eye on He Fanren and Niu Xiu.

"The minister obeyed, and the minister immediately sent someone to do it."

Li Shentong agreed and sent someone down to deliver the order.

Taking advantage of this gap, Qin Qiong said with a complicated expression: "Your Highness, since the Turkic people have come, shouldn't the war in Zhaozhou be over?"

The fighting in Zhaozhou has lasted for more than two months, and Zhaozhou has been beaten to pieces. More than [-] soldiers, robbers, and civilians died in Zhaozhou.

Li Yuanji's various goals were achieved, and the Turkic people also came. Qin Qiong felt that the war in Zhaozhou should be over.

If the fight continued, Li Shimin's troops and important personnel scattered throughout the capital would probably be almost dead.

Qin Qiong didn't care about the life and death of those important personnel, even if there were his former colleagues or comrades who fought together.

What he cares about is the life and death of those innocent soldiers.

Although those people rebelled against Datang, they rebelled because they were loyal to Datang, and they shouldn't have suffered countless casualties.

Although they were loyal to Li Shimin, not Li Yuanji, since Li Yuanji had gained the upper hand and gradually controlled them, he shouldn't do more killing.

"I will inform Su Dingfang about this matter, and you don't need to worry about it."

Li Yuanji knew when it would end, so there was no need for Qin Qiong to ask.

In Qin Qiong's view, the war in Zhaozhou should be over, but in his opinion, the war in Zhaozhou is still a little bit short.

Although Zhaozhou has been beaten to pieces, the disloyal people in Duji Province have also been decapitated, and the Li family of Zhaozhou has become a thing of the past, but the remnants of the Li family of Zhaozhou are still running around in several other wealthy families in Hebei Province.

No one knows whether or when these wealthy families will end up under the lobbying of the Li family in Zhaozhou, so we have to take another look.

The number of soldiers and horses used by Datang this time is huge, and the cost is naturally huge.

The little money and food in the national treasury alone is difficult to support, and the food shipped from Jiaozhou is also a drop in the bucket.

The money and food looted from the Li family in Zhaozhou was only enough for the soldiers on the battlefields of Hebei Road and Taiyuan Prefecture, and the money and food needed for the Guanzhong battlefield were still unknown.

Therefore, if the other giants are willing to end, they can strike a wave and transfer the price.

The money and food needed for the Guanzhong battlefield, I believe that the well-known five surnames and Qiwang can still get it together.

Originally, the money and food plundered from the Li family of Zhaozhou was enough. After all, the Li family of Zhaozhou had accumulated a huge amount of wealth over hundreds of years, and they could easily support a large-scale war.

It's just that among the wealth of the Li family in Zhaozhou, there is more money, and the food is only enough for one battlefield.

When wealthy families from all over the country knew that the Turks were about to invade, they frantically collected and hoarded food. Now the price of food has risen to the point where ordinary people can't afford it.

And there is not much grain for sale in the market.

Even if there is a lot of money in hand, it cannot be exchanged for a lot of food.

Because the wealthy families in various places are very smart, they only release a little bit of grain to ensure that the people everywhere have food to eat, and they will not gather crowds to riot or grab grain, and they will not release any extra grains.

When encountering someone wantonly harvesting grain, they will be very vigilant, not only will use various means to target them, but will also find ways to destroy the grain they received.

It is precisely because of this that if the imperial court wants a large amount of food and grass, there are only two options left.

One is to negotiate conditions with the rich, and the other is to give them a lot of money.

Li Yuanji was unwilling to go both ways, so he could only wait for some wealthy families who didn't have good eyesight to come to his door.

Ironically.

This year the Tang Dynasty had a bumper harvest of spring grain, and the weather was smooth in spring and summer. It was predictable that the autumn grain would also have a bumper harvest. Not all collected.

The yamen and vassals in various places don't know what's wrong, as if they have negotiated, they pay the money uniformly when paying taxes, and few pay the food.

If it wasn't for Li Gang, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda and others who issued a statement at a critical moment that half of the taxes paid by local governments and vassal kings must be grain, it is estimated that the grain and grass needed by Li Xiaogong during his army's journey would have to be pieced together.

Li Yuanji finally realized the difficulty of being restricted by the aristocratic family, and finally realized the determination of Li Shimin, Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian to deal with the aristocratic family.

Just these guys who are waiting to make money during the national crisis, don't get rid of them, keep them for the New Year?
Don't they understand the truth that there is no way to end an egg under a full nest?

Do you really think that no matter how the king's flag is changed, it will not affect the long-term existence of the wealthy family?
When the alien race's iron hooves went south, how many aristocratic families could stop them?

With a knife on your neck, what do you use to threaten others?

Even if the common people know the reason why a country is ruined and a family is destroyed, how can a wealthy family be an exception?
All of them were praised too highly, got used to it too badly, took family status and the interests of the clan too seriously, completely disregarded the interests of the clan, and should be eradicated.

After all, holding the interests of a large number of ethnic groups, but not knowing how to contribute and contribute to the ethnic group, instead hinders the development of the ethnic group. Who will you eradicate if the ethnic group does not eradicate?

As a person in power, at critical times, when money and food are needed, who will not be killed if this kind of pig is not killed?
Are you going to kill people?
"Is there any news from Chai Shao?"

After Li Yuanji rejected Qin Qiong's proposal, he stared at Li Shentong and asked.

Chai Shao rushed to Hebei Road shortly after Li Jing returned to Beijing, succeeded Li Jing as the actual controller of the Daxingtai Military Department of Hebei Road, and is currently stationing troops in Jizhou to guard against Li Yi.

The reason why they didn't push the troops to Yizhou and Cangzhou was because they didn't want to push Li Yi back.

After all, Li Yi hasn't turned back yet, and there is no change.

Pressing the soldiers to the door of Li Yi's house is forcing Li Yi to rebel.

Although Li Yi has reached the point where he can't resist, the impact of opposing Datang now is completely different from that of opposing Datang in the future.
