Man Tanghong

Chapter 658 The Outrageous Battle ([-])

Li Shimin's face turned red when he heard this, and he said in shame and anger: "I never thought about it like this, you don't want to treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

Li Yuanji said mercilessly: "Have you ever thought about it like this, you know it in your heart."

Li Shimin's face became redder with anger, his teeth were clenched, and his hands were clenched tightly into fists, as if he wanted to hit someone.

Li Yuanji didn't care at all, and even raised his neck provocatively, signaling Li Shimin to give it a try.

Li Shimin shouted angrily, "I'll give you advice in the future, I'm raised by a concubine!"

After saying this, Li Shimin rushed out of the gate of the city angrily without looking back.

Yu Wenbao hurriedly led his people to follow.

After watching the joke for a long time, Li Jiancheng said with a cheerful smile: "Yuanji, you really misunderstood Shimin this time. Shimin really didn't have any small plans. Everything Shimin did was to help you through This is the difficulty."

Li Yuanji glanced at Li Jiancheng, and said flatly, "I know..."

Li Jiancheng was taken aback for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Then you still..."

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "I'm here to prevent the passing of time."

Li Jiancheng was even more stunned, but it didn't take long for him to react, and he said in astonishment: "You are afraid that Shimin will have something wrong after the soldiers and horses from Shandong Road come, so you should prevent the erroneous progress in advance?"

Li Yuanji said coldly, "Otherwise?"

Li Jiancheng stroked his beard subconsciously, and sighed: "You are too heartless."

Li Yuanji snorted and said, "I'm ruthless. I haven't talked about you yet. When we talked about the transfer of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, you didn't say why. You took the initiative to come up and say that you can go, and you want to take the opportunity to raise conditions." .

Do you think I can't see the ghost in your belly?
You have already moved your mind, which is worse than my second brother who hasn't.

You two are like dogs of a feather, once you gain power, can you still let me go?
You have the nerve to call me ruthless.

If I were ruthless, your two heads would have moved a long time ago. "

Li Jiancheng was so stunned that he couldn't speak, he retreated to the corner with a smile, and continued to lie down.

Li Yuanji snorted again, picked up his pen and began to write the documents for dispatching troops.

Since Daxingtai in Eastern Shaanxi Province is now in a state of half-abandonment, high-ranking officials such as Shangshuling, Zuopushe, and Zuocheng Cheng were imprisoned, and those under supervision were supervised, so the documents for troop transfer were sent directly to Eastern Shaanxi Province. Daxingtai will not have any effect at all.

Therefore, it must be written state by state, and written to the governor's office of each state, so that the governor of each state will directly lead the troops to Suizhou for help without passing through Daxingtai on Shandong Road.

Therefore, there are more documents to be written and more words.

It took Li Yuanji half an hour to finish writing all the military deployment documents, and then sent Xiao Guanyi's [-] miles to send them to various places on Shandong Road in a hurry.

……

When the time entered October, the soldiers and horses from all the prefectures in Eastern Shaanxi Province gathered together and rushed to Suizhou. During this period, the city of Suizhou was breached six times, and Suizhou was also breached once. If it weren't for Li Shen At the critical moment, Fu used his identity as a royal family, mobilized the soldiers and horses of Yanshui Yongheguan, and recaptured Suizhou. Suizhou might have been broken, and the Turks might have already driven straight in.

After the incident, Li Shenfu immediately wrote an apology memorial and handed it to Xiao Guan.

Although Li Shenfu has made great contributions to defending Suizhou, it is a serious crime to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Yonghe Pass without permission.

Although everything was kept simple during the war and everything was done in a hurry, the soldiers and horses at each pass were different from the government soldiers in various places.

Li Shenfu, a county king, has already violated the emperor's rebellion by mobilizing soldiers and horses without permission, and mobilizing troops and horses at the pass without permission is an added crime.

So even though he knew that Li Shenfu's actions were out of public interest, Li Yuanji still lowered the title of Li Shenfu.

The king of Xiangyi County was demoted to the Duke of Dai, and the fief was also changed to Daizhou that Li Shiji and Su Dingfang had just won.

At the same time, he gave generous gifts to those generals and soldiers who helped Li Shenfu regain Suizhou, and adopted a strategy of not asking about the guards of Yonghe Pass and the soldiers of Yonghe Pass who left the pass privately.

These are the usual metrics used by those in power.

After a war is over and won, but also made mistakes, one must be rewarded and punished.

In the vast majority of cases who were injured, it was the generals and soldiers, and in the vast majority of cases where they were punished, it was the leaders of the army.

This is done to tell everyone that the court rewards and punishments are clear.

The reason why the soldiers are biased is also because the soldiers punish the soldiers after they have done meritorious service, which will chill the hearts of the soldiers.

The reason why they don't balance their merits and demerits, or don't care about their mistakes, is also because Li Shenfu's ethos of privately dispatching troops cannot be raised.

Just think about it, if all the county kings of the Tang Dynasty were like Li talismans, relying on their own identities to privately mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the Tang Dynasty, what would the Tang Dynasty be like?
If one or two county kings became dissidents and conspired against the imperial court, the privilege of being able to mobilize soldiers and horses without permission would be their greatest help.

Therefore, this kind of ethos cannot be raised no matter what, and it must be severely cracked down.

The battle situation in Suizhou gradually stabilized after Li Shenfu was demoted to the state, and after the soldiers and horses of Eastern Shaanxi Province arrived, new troops from Eastern Shaanxi Province joined, and Yin Kaishan, who knew the soldiers and horses of Eastern Shaanxi Province, People led the troops, and the Turks were never able to break through the walls of Suizhou.

But Datang's crisis has not been resolved.

After the battle in Suizhou stabilized, Gyeongju fell into crisis again.

The Turks in Suizhou could not attack Suizhou for a long time, so they moved to Qingzhou.

At the same time, the Tuyuhun people in the southwest of Liangzhou also began to attack Datang, constantly harassing Liangzhou and Huizhou.

When Li Yi was in Xiaoguan, when the cold wind was howling and the sky was covered with snow, he also went out of Datang and led more than 8 elite soldiers to attack Mozhou.

For a time, there were wars everywhere in the east, north, and west of the Tang Dynasty.

Some careerists lurking in the Tang Dynasty also took the opportunity to start making troubles in various places in the Tang Dynasty.

Datang seemed to be caught in a precarious situation in an instant.

Inside Xiaoguan's city gate.

Wrapped in fur, Li Yuanji was sitting in front of the brazier reviewing documents, the cold wind outside the city gate mixed with snowflakes whistling inside.

In the north, especially the north near the Western Regions and Liangzhou, the snow always arrives earlier than other places.

Some places even start to snow in August, so it is not surprising that Lingzhou has snow in October.

Strangely, the wind this year seems to be extraordinarily cold.

Wrapped in fur, Li Yuanji could still feel the icy chill while roasting on the brazier, and his hands were a little numb.

After putting down the paperwork and roasting his hands on the fire, Liu Hongji appeared in the city gate building in a snowstorm.

"Your Highness! Master Liang has retreated!"

Liu Hongji bowed and said with white breath.

Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully, which was expected.

Right now, Li Shiji and Su Dingfang have reached Liang Shidu's doorstep, and Tudiji has already broken through Shuofang City, and is about to take down the three cities. It would be strange if Liang Shidu could still hold on.

"How about Jieli?"

Li Yuanji asked.

Liu Hongji said in a deep voice: "I am going to report this matter to Your Highness!"

Li Yuanji had a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he just nodded his head and signaled Liu Hongji to continue.

Liu Hongji said in a heavy voice: "Jieli's Golden Wolf Tent and Tuli's Golden Wolf Tent just...disappeared!"

Li Yuanji was taken aback for a moment, and his face changed slightly.

"Disappeared?!"

Liu Hongji nodded heavily and said: "I guess, Jieli and Tuli should have left long ago. The reason why the two golden wolf tents are still there is probably to confuse us."

Li Yuanji's face changed drastically, he stood up abruptly and said, "Hurry up and send a team of fine cavalry out to spy on the truth!"

This team of elite cavalry is regarded as dead warriors, if they leave and never return, then they will never return.

Right now, the movements of Xieli and Tuli are more important than anything else.

Liu Hongji solemnly agreed, and quickly left the city gate building.

"Come here, go and call Chen Shuda and others to meet. At the same time, bring my eldest brother and second brother here."

After Liu Hongji left, Li Yuanji gave orders to the guards guarding the door.

After it snowed, Li Yuanji asked Yu Wenbao to take Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to a barracks in the pass because it was too cold inside the city gate.

Now that they need to participate in the military, they must be called over quickly.

Although Li Yuanji had already guessed that Jieli and Tuli might really be gone, and also guessed where Xieli and Tuli had gone, those who should be discussed still had to be discussed.

After all, if Xieli and Tuli really went to the place he guessed, then he would have to make a decision that would cost people and money, and would require many people to help him endorse it.

Chen Shuda, Cai Yungong, Han Liang and others arrived soon after being summoned by the guards, and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin followed closely behind under the escort of Yu Wenbao.

After everyone arrived, Li Yuanji ordered people to close the door of the city gate building to keep the cold wind out. He also ordered people to set up a few braziers inside the city gate building. warmed up.

After Chen Shuda roasted his cold and red hands on the fire, he cupped his hands in doubt and said: "Your Highness hastily summoned the ministers, but something important happened?"

Li Yuanji didn't hide it either, nodded and said: "Just now, Lord Ren reported to me that Master Liang had withdrawn..."

Chen Shuda, Cai Yungong, Han Liang and the others were all taken aback when they heard this, and they all looked blank.

This is a good thing.

Why is Li Yuanji frowning.

"Ren Guogong also said that Jieli and Tuli's golden wolf tents disappeared."

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Shuda, Cai Yungong, Han Liang and others, but even Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's expressions changed together.

Chen Shuda said in disbelief: "Hasn't someone been watching Jieli and Tuli's Golden Wolf Tent all the time? Why did they suddenly disappear?"

Li Yuanji said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ren guessed that Jieli and Tuli should have left long ago. The reason why the Golden Wolf tent is always there is to confuse us."
