Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 160 Vajra Gourd Baby

As the founding monarch, Li Yuan's ability is unquestionable, but there is no denying the weakness in his character. We can't say that he is soft-hearted, but can only say that he is good at planning and difficult to decide. Seeing Li Shimin like this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But Li Jiancheng obviously did not inherit his Lao Tzu's character traits, turned his head to signal, Pei Ji got up and went out, bowed and said: "The imperial edict is accepted by the sect, the disciples examine it, and the official book implements it. Your Majesty's edict, Prince Jiancheng of the Eastern Palace will fight against the black door."

"Restraining Daxingtai in Eastern Shaanxi Province and leading the marching marshal in Hebei Province, all states in Hebei and Shandong were punished, and they were able to act cheaply."

There was silence in the hall, only Pei Ji's resounding voice echoed. Li Jiancheng not only controlled Daxingtai in Eastern Shaanxi, but also led the Tang Army in Hebei and Shandong. Not only the military, but also the government affairs of Hebei and Shandong prefectures were under Li Jiancheng's jurisdiction.

Pei Ji turned his head and glanced at Li Shimin, and continued: "Tiao You Xiaowei General Ren Guogong Liu Hongji, Left Wuwei General Li Anyuan, Right Wuwei General Qian Jiulong, Right Leading General Dou Cong, Right Jianmen General Kai Guogong Fan Xing."

Chen Shuda raised his brows, a bit ruthless, the generals of the Twelve Guards transferred five of them, and among them Liu Hongji was Li Shimin's absolute confidant, Li Anyuan, Qian Jiulong, Fan Xing, and Dou Cong all made military exploits in attacking Luoyang under Li Shimin's command.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these five people are all from the lineage of the King of Qin, and they have a close relationship with Li Shimin... Li Shimin maintained a deadpan expression, which is already good, maybe because he was afraid of tearing his face, at least he did not choose from the six guards around the Qin Palace. people.

Xiao Yu looked at Li Shimin with pity... You must know that when Li Shimin went to war at the beginning of the year, apart from the soldiers and horses of the Qin Palace, there were only Li Shiji and Zhang Shigui's remnants who were scattered by Liu Heitai and driven to Weizhou by the Yellow River. .

And this time the crown prince went out... There were five generals out of the Twelve Guards alone, not to mention that Li Shimin himself led the Twelve Guards Generals, and the Twelve Guards were his serious subordinates.

Tsk tsk, it's too unfair!
But this is not over yet, Pei Ji continued: "Also transfer the general manager of Youzhou, Luo Yi, to lead the army to the south, and transfer the governor of Merger Prefecture, Cheng Renzhong."

"Wang Junkuo, the assistant minister of the Daxingtai Military Department of Tiaoshan East Road, and more than ten generals like Chang He."

"Han Liang, Minister of the Household Department of Daxingtai, Eastern Shaanxi Province, and Yu Zhining, a doctor of Duzhi, provided food and grass for the army."

This time, he directly attacked Daxingtai on the Eastern Shaanxi Road. Li Shimin simply closed his eyes... Thinking in his heart, Wang Junkuo and Chang He and other generals were all his old troops when he attacked Luoyang.

Li Shimin sneered in his heart, he was sure that this was Li Jiancheng's idea... From light to heavy, this is the elder brother's always acting style.

If he could win Wang Junkuo, Chang He and others to the East Palace, he would probably start trying to get his hands on the confidant generals of Liuhu Army Mansion around him.

Shandong Road is going to send troops and generals, and also get food and grass... Isn't this a bit bullying?
Li Jiancheng was born by Li Yuan, and Li Shimin may have picked it up...

"Dalang, Sanhu has stood still for more than fifty days. As the eldest brother, you should strictly control yourself." Li Yuan instructed: "A few days ago, there were battle reports that Liu Heita attacked Weizhou fiercely. Have a plan?"

Li Jiancheng stood up with confidence and said with a smile: "Cheng Mingzhen, the general manager of Weizhou, is both wise and courageous. He can send troops to threaten Liu Heita's flanks, and then send Sanhu troops to the north, and Chengren, the governor of Bingzhou, can bear a heavy responsibility."

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat, Liu Heitai stormed Weizhou, Qi Shanxing withdrew southward twice, and now the Tang Army in Hebei Province may only have a complete organizational system left with Weizhou's Cheng Mingzhen's troops.

That is to say, if Tian Liu'an wants to counterattack, Cheng Mingzhen is indispensable... and Li Jiancheng's words just now are obviously very sure to win over Cheng Mingzhen.

Li Shimin immediately thought that he would not allow Cheng Mingzhen to pursue Liu Heitai half a year ago, and then Sanhu hosted a banquet, and among the generals, only Cheng Mingzhen attended the banquet... I am afraid that Cheng Mingzhen has already joined the Eastern Palace.

Li Shimin's thoughts changed sharply, but Li Jiancheng was still talking, "Now that Liu Heitai has nothing to rely on, let Li Yi of Youzhou quickly go south with his cavalry, first disturb Liu Heitai's retreat, and secondly attack Luozhou."

"When the boy leads the army into the Hebei Road, he will be able to defeat the enemy in one battle, but he is afraid that Liu Heita will flee the grassland again."

"No problem, this time Liu Heita was defeated, even if he went to the grassland to attach himself to the Turks, he would not be taken seriously." Li Yuan smiled and asked, "How to deal with Shandong after the war?"

"Exercise kindness and strength, set up porridge sheds to relieve disasters, disband the enemy soldiers, and let them go home." Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Father, Sanhu has not moved forward, but he has also made a difference. He has planned a large amount of food and grass on the bank of the Yellow River."

Li Yuan nodded slightly. He has always maintained a high-handed rule over Hebei. On the one hand, it was because of Hebei's threat to Hedong and Guanzhong.

But now it seems that Li Yuan also knows that he has acted too hastily, that he can't be gentle, that he has killed too much, and that combining grace and power is the kingly way.

Li Shimin still had his eyes closed, Pei Ji and Feng Deyi were flattering their feet, and everyone else was silent. There are so many talents in the East Palace, so it can be arranged properly... It's just that Qi Wang Li Yuanji refused to go north for more than [-] days, and Li Jiancheng Can find a suitable reason, this is too much!

Li Yuan asked for more details, and Li Jiancheng answered them one by one, obviously well prepared.

In the end, Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction, "Tomorrow I will personally send Da Lang to the battle, and when the news of victory comes in the future, would Jian Pei be willing to comfort me on my behalf?"

Pei Ji laughed and nodded repeatedly. In the past five or six years, he has been favored by the saints in the court, and Li Yuan never called Pei Ji by his name, only "Jian Pei".

In the original history, this is the fact.

Cheng Renzhong, the governor of Bingzhou, Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Weizhou, and Tian Liuan, the governor of Weizhou, defeated Liu Heita in Weizhou. Woolen cloth!

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall, getting closer and closer, and did not stop until the entrance of the hall.

Some eunuchs went out to inquire, and came back and reported in a low voice, "Hebei Battle Report."

Li Yuan frowned. It was around this time last year that he continuously received battle reports from Hebei. Liu Heitai went all the way to Weizhou to spy on Henan.
Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "Father, you should call in for consultation. If Weizhou falls, you need to find another way."

For Li Jiancheng, the loss of Weizhou is not a bad thing... Tian Liuan is a general under the command of his second brother.

A messenger hurried into the hall, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Hebei's victory, Wei County's victory!"

There was silence in the hall, and everyone turned pale and speechless for a moment. Li Jiancheng's lips trembled slightly, while Li Shimin who was opposite slowly opened his eyes.

Li Yuan took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Report in detail."

"Liu Heikai led an army of tens of thousands to attack Guantao Buke and detoured to attack Wei County. Tian Liu'an, the governor of Weizhou, led the troops to the south, and Qi Shanxing, the governor of Xingzhou, led his army to Yongji Canal."

"On the fourth day of November, the Tang army attacked from both sides. The king of Huaiyang took the lead in breaking through the formation, beheading Liu Heita's younger brother Liu Shishan and general Wang Xiaohu.

Pei Ji swallowed, with an army of tens of thousands, Li Daoxuan broke through and killed several generals, and Liu Heita was defeated?

Why are you, Liu Heitai, so useless? !
"Thousands of enemy soldiers were killed in this battle, and nearly [-] soldiers were captured. Liu Heita led only a thousand cavalry to flee north."

Li Shimin turned his head and glanced slightly, Li Yuan's face was full of joy, and it became more and more intense... For him, this is a good thing, and it saves the eldest son and second son from fighting.

But the face of Li Jiancheng on the opposite side... blue, white, red, and purple, just short of gathering seven colors to transform into a gourd King Kong baby.
