Great Sui Dynasty

The nine years of the great cause passed quietly amidst the sound of division, and Yang Hao ushered in his third year in the Sui Dynasty amidst the sound of firecrackers and fireworks. From a prince who fell out of favor to an overlord with a powerful army in his hands, everything seemed to be in order. It is developing in a direction that is beneficial to him, but he also knows that these are only temporary, he just understands the trend of history ahead of others, but his rise has also changed the direction of history, and future history will not be able to Forecast, and those forces that he has no time to deal with are also difficult to control their development momentum, so those forces that still exist are the strong enemies, because they have grown up.

However, Yang Hao's most optimistic and most anticipated opponent is now in Guanzhong!

"I'm sorry everyone, but I can't let you go home to spend time with your family during the Spring Festival! Shimin hereby apologizes to everyone!" Li Shimin bowed to everyone present.

"No way! No way! The second son killed me!" Everyone hurriedly stood up to stop Li Shimin's action. Who would dare to accept such a big gift? Except for Li Shentong, followers like them are not qualified.

"Come, let's drink this cup together! Although the conditions are a bit rough, it's only temporary. After we're all ready..." Li Shimin held up the wine glass, and Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Li Shentong and others also joined in. They all raised their wine glasses one after another. After nearly half a year of preparation, the conditions for an incident were ripe, but now they are holding a New Year's Eve dinner at the home of a merchant in a certain place in Guanzhong.

"Yeah, I can't wait a long time ago. When will things start?" Hou Junji said anxiously. He has been here for half a year, and he only secretly recruits and trains people every day, and only occasionally pretends to be bandits and robbers. The government fought for military training, and he didn't even have the chance to go to the battlefield. His hands were itchy for a long time.

"Hurry up, the best time will be when the weather gets warmer in spring, not to mention there are still the most important things to do!" Li Shimin was also anxious, but it was useless. There is still a lot of risk for such a small number of people to start an incident.What's more, Liu Wuzhou raised troops in Mayi, and he wanted to take Jinyang from this posture, so Jinyang was already under tremendous pressure, so Li Yuan kept urging him to get ready quickly.

"Uncle, how is the preparation of money and food? Once the fight starts, the consumption will definitely be a lot. This is not Jinyang, and it cannot be replenished at any time, so we must prepare more at once!" Li Shimin was also worried about logistics. Afterwards, they were already depressed, and even if they had money, it was difficult for them to buy food. Fortunately, Li Shentong was with him, and his network was wider, so he could get food and grass. This is why Li Yuan sent Li Shentong to help Li Shimin.

"Don't worry about money and food. Some big households and merchants in the Guanzhong area have already gathered enough food and grass, and the blacksmiths in these big households are also rushing to make weapons and armor. They should be able to make them when the incident occurs." Li Shentong said here For half a year, he played the role of a diplomatic envoy, wandering among the big households and merchants, and promised the merchants a lot of status. The world will improve their status in return, which makes the merchants very excited. In their view, in the face of such huge benefits, it is worth taking more risks.Of course, some merchants were unwilling, so they all became the targets of "bandits" and "robbers", which was also ordered by Li Shimin for the sake of insurance.

"Hmph! It's just for mutual use!" Li Shimin disdains this kind of speculators very much. It's not that he looks down on merchants, it's just that he looks down on these people's speculative behavior. It's just that he forgot that his Li family is also a speculator. Isn't the act of wanting to get a piece of the pie in the face of national anti-Sui climaxes one after another?It's just that they give themselves the so-called name of the common people in the world, and they are doing the business of stealing the country!And now he is living in the houses provided by the merchants and eating the food provided by the people he despises most.

"Uncle prepared three portions of food for me, it will be of great use to me!" Li Shimin thought for a while and said to Li Shentong.

"Okay! When will you use it?" Li Shentong did his best to support Li Shimin's request, not only because of Li Yuan's order, but also because of Li Shimin's ability that convinced him.

"Just the day after tomorrow!" Li Shimin didn't say clearly what he was going to do with the food, and Li Shentong didn't ask.

Two days later, Li Shimin took his men and horses and headed towards a mountain with a share of grain and grass.

"Please inform Master Li that Li Shimin is visiting!" It turned out that Li Shimin was planning to subdue the bandits in the mountains.

"What kind of wind brought Mr. Li here? Please come in quickly!" Li Zhongwen was puzzled in his heart, but he showed a very friendly look on his face.

"There is new chaos in Guanzhong, and everywhere is dying. Presumably, the life of Li's family is not very easy. Shimin has always heard that Li's family has been robbing the rich and helping the poor. Shimin admires it very much, so he specially sent some food to Li's family." Edited by Li Shimin Even he himself felt disgusted, but Li Zhongwen was so moved.Everyone regarded him as a robber, and now someone finally treats him as a rebel, can you not be moved.

"I heard that the ancestor of the head of Li's family is from Longxi, so it may not be the same family as the ancestor of Shimin." Li Shimin threw out another trump card as he spoke, which made Li Zhongwen very anxious, which turned him, a bandit army, into a family leader. As a branch descendant of the clan, this status is skyrocketing. He never dreamed that this pie would suddenly fall on his head.

"That's right, that's right. That's what my father told me when he was alive. Before he died, he kept talking about wanting me to return to the Li family, but I failed his expectations and became a bandit here! It's really unfilial. !" Li Zhongwen also used his superb acting skills to show off for a while.

"If Brother Li wants to return to the clan, Shimin may be able to help." Li Shimin continued to seduce, anyway, both of them said perfunctory words, but why not do what everyone wants.Li Shimin immediately changed his words, changed from Li's boss to Li's brother, deliberately shortening the distance.

"I'm afraid it's not easy!" Li Zhongwen also knows that bloodlines are very important to aristocratic families. Generally, only those who are expelled from the clan, and it is basically a difficult task to return to the clan. Of course it can be done It's okay if the first and second rank ministers can bring benefits to the family.

"Yes, I don't hide from you that our Li family is not capable enough to allow you to return to the clan, but if we can make some outstanding contributions, then my Li family is doing our best, so maybe the chances will be great." Some."

"I don't know what I need to do? I, Li Zhongwen, can't do anything else, only these brothers can work hard!" Li Zhongwen knew that Li Shimin wanted them to work hard, but it all depends on what price Li Shimin can offer.

"The evil Sui Dynasty is corrupt. My Li family is preparing to implement justice and overthrow its rule, so I want to invite Brother Li together. I don't know what Li Brother wants?" Jiangshan, but Li Zhongwen knew that if he followed the Li family, he could at least be a minister of the dragon. After all, if you overthrew a court, would you let someone else sit in it?Obviously impossible!

"My subordinates have met the second son. I, Li Zhongwen, are willing to follow the second son, uphold justice for the people, and overthrow the brutal rule of the evil Sui!" After some thinking, Li Zhongwen finally made a decision, and this decision is exactly what Li Shimin made today. The desired result.

With Li Zhongwen taking the lead, it will be much easier for Li Shimin to subdue the bandits such as Xiang Shanzhi and Qiu Shili. After five days of hard work, Li Shimin basically subdued the bandits around Daxing, except for the biggest group of bandits——Western Region Merchant Outside of He Panren's influence.Originally, if He Panren could be subdued first, it would be more beneficial to subdue the other bandits, but Li Shimin was not as strong as Pan Ren at the beginning, so he was not sure how to subdue him (I don’t know how Li Xiuning subdued He Panren, I can’t find any records), but now It's different, after subduing several bandits, Li Shimin's strength has surpassed He Panren, and he is sure to subdue or subdue He Panren.
