Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 900 Longzhou

Luo Yi also regrets now. If he had known this, he would not have acted so recklessly back then, beating Fang Xuanling, whipping Cheng Yaojin and Hou Junji... The key is not that he has already boarded the East Palace ship, but that he could not Get on the boat of King Qin.

In fact, Luo Yi could not have had other choices at the time. Neither Li Yuan nor Li Jiancheng would allow him to join the King of Qin, and even neutrality was difficult to establish. After all, he was a foreign warlord, not someone who was loyal to Li Yuan like Li Jing and Li Shan. people.

Who would have thought that the crown prince of the East Palace, who was as stable as Mount Tai back then, would be in a crumbling state now, but Luo Yi could only bite the bullet and push forward... He is not stupid. He transferred himself back to Beijing at this time, saying that the prince has no other thoughts, that is a ghost I don't believe it.

Luo Yi hesitated for a while, "It was Su Dingfang who restrained the Beiya imperial army?"

"Yes, but now Su Dingfang is with the army, and now it is Chai Shao, the son-in-law captain." Er Zhuhuan smiled and said, "All the old troops in the forbidden army have been transferred to join the army."

Luo Yi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously. He also knew that he had no other choice. He was not as stupid as Liang Shidu, and he wanted to fight for the world. But between himself and King Qin...

Er Zhuhuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Yi, weighing repeatedly in his heart, maybe he should find an opportunity to communicate with that nephew, the reason is very simple, it was Pei Shiju who suggested that the prince transfer Luo Yi back to the court, and serve as General Zuo Qianniuwei.

The imperial city, the province under the gate.

Pei Shiju sat expressionlessly in the innermost room, his figure slightly hunched, and his unfocused eyes fell on the notebook on the table... In fact, he didn't really want to come to see things, but another servant Jiang Guogong Chen Shuda set off for the Jingzhou labor force today.

No matter how many setbacks, tribulations, and great events he has encountered in his life, Pei Shiju has honed a big heart early on, he is good at changing, he is unpredictable, and he never regrets.

But the old man had to admit that he had regretted it a long time ago.

As early as when Li Shanxue attacked the camp at night, forcibly recruited Yuan Junzhang, and provoked the Turkic civil strife, Pei Shiju began to regret it. If such an outstanding person can become an enemy, it is difficult to say in the future. At that time, Pei Shiju faintly felt that he had done something wrong .

But after helplessness, the blood-stained leather hat that Cui Xin personally sent to the door made Pei Shiju unable to stop. The great achievement of breaking the Turks made Pei Shiju privately feel that he was very lucky, although Pei Shiju didn't think so in his heart.

If it was luck before, luck was so good that one arrow shot down the Khan flag, but this time it was different, tens of thousands of troops in the palm of their hands, and they were in a stately formation, with real knives and guns. The defeat was so miserable, so embarrassing.

When he heard the battle report, Pei Shiju almost couldn't sit still, he just felt his hands and feet were weak and his heart was powerless.

It's a pity that everything is irreversible, especially after the only son Pei Xuanji died in Huating... Pei Shiju thought sadly, if he died of illness at this moment, would Li Huairen stop?
Maybe, maybe not.

Maybe it will be done on the bright side, but it will be done secretly.

What's more, he is only in his 20s. If there is no accident, he can firmly suppress Wenxi Pei's family members for three generations.

His eyes fell on the notebook on the desk again, and Pei Shiju sighed softly in his heart. He once thought of using some means... After all, Li Huairen's achievements are so high now that it is difficult to award them. Mutual jealousy between monarchs and ministers is normal, but I didn't expect this young man to be so cautious. Although it was just a small trick, it was very effective.

Pei Shiju closed the notebook, got up slowly and went to the Linhu Hall, not unexpectedly seeing the satisfied smile on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth.

Apart from Pei Shiju, there were also the crown prince, the king of Qin and Pei Ji. Everyone knew that what Li Yuan was satisfied with was not Wen Yanbo's impeachment, but Li Shan's attitude.

Returning Tuli Khan to check and balance Dubu Khan will cause Turkic civil strife to resume. Even if civil strife cannot be resolved, at least it will prevent Dubu Khan from unifying Turks. In any case, this is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

But for Li Shan himself, there are only disadvantages, private manipulation of the enemy's chieftain, say to Dali... If you meet a shameless emperor, you can be charged with the crime of collaborating with the enemy.

"Huiren is still Huairen, unexpectedly..." Pei Ji couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, remember that Huairen also made a fortune last time?"

Li Yuan nodded with a smile, "I remember clearly, four hundred fine horses, one hundred cattle, this time the appetite is a bit big... four thousand fine horses!"

Horses are different from horses. Horses that can be called good horses and steeds are not only war horses, but also the key to forming heavy cavalry. In the last ten days of war in Jingzhou, heavy cavalry lost a lot. Supplementation is easy to say, but it is very difficult to supplement horses, and Li Shan asked for [-] horses at once.

"Tuli Khan used this to bribe Huairen." Prince Li Jiancheng teased, "Father should be punished."

Li Shimin added: "Li Huairen, the king of Handan, defeated the Turks, but he was greedy for money, and he was sent back to the enemy's chieftain for personal reasons. His father should send an envoy to reprimand him."

"Second brother, let's finish what I said." Prince Li Jiancheng frowned and said, "You should punish yourself, but you don't need to send envoys."

This kind of bickering... Uh, in Li Yuan's opinion, compared with the previous two years, this is not a bickering at all. Li Yuan said very skillfully and softly about this: "Then send someone to inform the Qinghe county magistrate and order him to face the punishment directly. Huairen."

Let the father-in-law scold the son-in-law... I have to say that Li Yuan and Xi Ni's technique is excellent.

Prince Li Jiancheng glanced at Pei Shiju, and the latter said slowly, "Your Majesty, the Liang army is still guarding Xiaoguan, and it is difficult for the army to take back Lingzhou and Huizhou. Maybe we can send Luo Yi, the king of Yan County, to lead his troops back to Longyou and bypass Liangzhou. ?”

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, glanced at Li Jiancheng from the corner of his eye, and then said: "There is King Huai'an in Longyou... He ordered Luo Yi to return to the court, after all, there is a gap with Huairen."

Li Shimin kept silent, Luo Yi returned to the court, then General Zuo Qianniuwei belonged and there was no other candidate.

Prince Li Jiancheng was happy on the one hand, and worried on the other. He was happy because Luo Yi was able to return to the court, but his worry was that his father would rather let Luo Yi return to the court than let him lead the army.

At the same time, Li Jiancheng admired Pei Shiju's words quite a lot. Luo Yi's return to court was facilitated by such a tactful way, which showed the extraordinary ability and vision of this old man. It was difficult to do it without a clear judgment on the situation.

Li Yuan didn't care much about Luo Yi. Although he had thousands of elites under his command, he would bring more than a hundred personal guards at most when he returned to the court. can play a key role.

Compared with the pampered Beiya Forbidden Army and the Changlin Army with little actual combat experience, the more than a hundred personal guards around Luo Yi are already qualified to play a key role.

Li Shimin quietly glanced at Pei Shiju, who had not changed his face. He was a little puzzled. Although Li Jiancheng was in a bad situation, it was not without room for maneuver. After all, his father was in good health and had a long time to reign, but Pei Shiju, an old fox, couldn't wait. So long.

So, what can Pei Shiju do to persuade the prince to raise troops?
