First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 157
...

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, everyone thought it was true, Li Shimin frowned slightly, but said nothing.

For a while, everyone couldn't figure out what Li Shimin was thinking.

Gao Chong suddenly asked: "Second Young Master is worried that if the soldiers arrive at Luoyang but don't attack the city and leave here, it will inevitably damage the prestige of the Guanzhong Army?"

Li Shimin nodded straightly when he heard it, "What Youzhi said is exactly what I thought. After all, my Guanzhong Army and the Wagang Army are allies. If we leave here and stand by, the heroes of the world will laugh."

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard the words, Li Shimin's worries were not unreasonable.

This trip out of Guanzhong was aimed at displaying the might of the Guanzhong Army and making the world aware of the tyranny of the Guanzhong Army. If he left here, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to Li Yuan's reputation.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji said: "Is it possible to feign an attack? It is enough to do the work without exerting any force."

"Impossible", Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "This battle attracts the world's attention, if you feign an attack, you will be ridiculed by the wise people in the world, so it's better to just leave."

Gao Chong nodded in agreement when he heard the words, feigning an attack was just an act, but he couldn't hide it from the people of Youyou Tianxia, ​​it was obvious that he had to set up a memorial archway even if he was a biao, it would be better to withdraw the troops openly.

"Now that Xinke Yiyang City is undergoing repeated battles, it is better to take a break for a while." After a long time, Gao Chong said, "If Li Mi comes to urge him, he will use the excuse of rest and the excuse of insufficient food and grass to delay."

Hearing Gao Chong's words, Li Shimin also nodded and sighed: "This is the only plan for the present."

Even though the Eastern Expeditionary Army was resting in Yiyang City, the huge amount of food and grass brought by Duan Da filled the emptiness of the Tang army's food and grass. Li Shimin immediately wrote to the court and sent officials to Xiong'er, Yiyang and other places.

The great victory of the Eastern Expeditionary Army greatly boosted the morale of Guanzhong. The people of Sanqin immediately looked at Li Yuan, king of Tang, with admiration. After defeating Xiqin Xueju and Sui general Duan Da repeatedly, Li Yuan was able to gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong.

Since Li Shimin's great victory in the Great Eastern Expedition, in the southwest of Bashu, Gao Junya, the comfort ambassador of Shannan Road, also made great strides. It only took more than half a month to reach Hanzhong, and then advanced to Bashu, and went down several counties.

The army has arrived in the center of Bashu, which is Shu County.

The sheriff of Shu County was born in a wealthy family in Bashu, he is incompetent, and Sima Gao Biaoren should take care of all the affairs of the county.

Hearing that the Tang King's army had arrived in Guanzhong, the county guard was terrified. At this time, Gao Biaoren made a decisive decision and surrendered to the Tang King.

In the Sheriff's Mansion, the sheriff looked at the resolute Gao Biaoren, trembling with anger, but looking at the figures in the left and right halls, the sheriff knew well that if he didn't agree today, there would be only one end.

What's more, Bashu has always been a corner of peace. People like the county guards have no ambitions and have no desire to dominate the world. Perhaps in the eyes of the county guards, it is better to listen to music or something

"It's fine for Gao Sima to decide everything." If you can't change it, then obey, the county guard said kindly with a smile on his fat face.

Gao Biaoren smiled when he heard this, and said directly: "The county guard does not need to worry. The commander of the Tang army outside the city is my cousin Gao Junya. He was named Duke of Yan, and he will never forget the contribution of the county guard to the city."

Hearing this, the county guard suddenly realized that it was no wonder Gao Biaoren, who had always been diligent and loyal, was so radical in an uncharacteristic way.

Chengdu County is the seat of Shu County. Outside the city, Gao Junya's army is waiting.

As the city gate slowly opened, Gao Junya's expression also became agitated.

At the gate of the city, a scribe, about thirty or forty years old, was sitting on the back of a horse. The horse speed gradually increased, and he came straight towards Gao Junya.

The left and right guards were about to draw their sabers, but Gao Junya reached out to stop him, and immediately rode out.

"Brother", the galloping horse came to him, Gao Biaoren got off the horse and came to Gao Jun's horse with an excited expression and red eyes.

Gao Junya was also very moved, she got off her horse and hugged Gao Biaoren, "It has been 11 years since Daye left every three years, how has Biaoren always been?"

Gao Biaoren held Gao Junya's hand tightly, "My brother is very good, my elder brother's demeanor remains the same as before."

"That's good." Gao Junya looked at the back and saw no one behind, so she couldn't help asking: "Is the younger siblings and Zhun'er all right?"

Hearing this, Gao Biaoren's expression shrank, and he just sighed: "Back then when I was demoted to Shu County, the journey was difficult and dangerous, and Zhun'er unfortunately fell ill on the way, so I have already gone."

Gao Junya paused when she heard the words, and could only sigh silently, and patted Gao Biaoren on the shoulder. In this day and age, long-distance trekking is already very dangerous. If you get caught in the rain and get sick on the way, there will be a shortage of doctors and doctors. There is nothing you can do about it, especially for underage children, who have a higher mortality rate on long journeys.

With the help of Sima Gao Biaoren, the various counties of Shu County will be decided, and then the two brothers will work together to manage Bashu. , All the land of Bashu raised the banner of Tang characters.

Shu County, Chengdu County, and the Governor's Mansion.

Gao Junya looked at the melodies in her hands and was unable to make up her mind.

"Brother, are you worried about the King of Tang?" Gao Biaoren asked, raising his eyebrows. As Gao Jiong's youngest son, Gao Biaoren had been influenced by his ears since he was a child, and he was extremely talented in both politics and military affairs.

Seeing that Gao Junya was holding the playing watch and frowning, she probably guessed what Gao Junya was thinking.

Gao Junya nodded and sighed: "Now you and my brother are in charge of several counties in Bashu, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If someone in the court speaks and slanders, then the king of Tang will definitely be suspicious."

"I heard that Zhu Can is wreaking havoc in the south of the mountain," Gao Biaoren said softly, "Zhu Can is a man-eating devil, everyone can kill him, why don't you ask my brother to go east to Bashu to attack Zhu Can."

"Zhu Can?" Gao Junya's eyes lit up, and she stood up awkwardly, "This is a good way."

Gao Biaoren nodded and continued: "At that time, I will go to Beijing with the Bashu Atlas and ask the King of Tang to send officials to take over Bashu. I am in Chang'an, Chong'er is under Li Erlang's command, and my elder brother is leading the army. No grounds for suspicion."

Gao Junya nodded in agreement, and immediately burned the watch in his hand. On the one hand, he asked Li Yuan to send officials to take over Bashu, and on the other hand, he asked Ying to attack Zhu Can's troops.

As Gao Junya expected, in Chang'an City and Daji Palace, Li Yuan was lying on the couch crookedly, holding a wine glass in his hand for a long time, but he hadn't entered it for a long time. gaze.

On the other hand, Pei Ji, who was next to the song, shook his head appreciating the song and dance, beating the beat from time to time, very contented.

It seemed that the voice was a little louder, which disturbed Li Yuan. Li Yuan came back to his senses, looked at Pei Ji and cursed with a smile: "You old man is quite content."

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard the words, and said with a leisurely smile: "There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity, why should the king be stubborn?"

Hearing this, the maids serving at the side shook their hands, and dared to say such words to Tang Wang, perhaps Pei Changshi was the only one in the world.

　Brothers, I have a fever, 38°, but I have done the antigen, and there is no positive, uncomfortable batch
