The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1012 Li Shimin ascends the throne
After hearing Luo Yi's words, Luo Cheng persuaded his father instead, "Father, Master Yiguang said that this Su Dingfang is not easy to mess with. We can't just remember our personal grievances, and we should focus on the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. But right now there is a The opportunity to deal with Su Dingfang, he is not attacking Bazhou, we can give him a blow from behind!"

Luo Yi laughed out loud after hearing this, "The old man's son has finally grown up, and the old man will have no worries from now on!" On that day, Luo Yi got drunk.

Three days later, Luo Yi mobilized 1 soldiers, took Yanyun eighteen horsemen, and his son Luo Cheng out of Dingzhou to fight for Bazhou, leaving [-] horses for Shi Danai to continue to garrison Dingzhou.

When Luo Yi's troops arrived near Bazhou, bad news came. Su Dingfang's troops had already taken down Bazhou and went to Youzhou. Knowing that there were only a few thousand rebels guarding Bazhou City, Luo Yi and Luo Cheng discussed and decided to fight against each other. After conquering Bazhou, they rushed straight to the rear of Su Dingfang's team without stopping.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he got the report, and asked Li Xiaogong to lead the troops to defend Youzhou. He, Duan Zhixuan and Liu Hongji led the troops to attack the rebel camp.At the same time, Youzhou soldiers also came from Xuanhua shop in the northwest of him.

In this way, the troops of Xu Maogong and Su Dingfang were attacked on three sides. In desperation, Xu Maogong and Su Dingfang had to divide their troops to meet the enemy. The two sides fought fiercely for several days. Xu Maogong and Su Dingfang were defeated. They were also lost, so they had to retreat to Weizhou, which is now Yuxian County, Shanxi Province, waiting for Yang Yong's order.

Bazhou and Yizhou were once again in Li Shimin's hands, and Luo Yi and Luo Cheng became Li Shimin's loyal subordinates again.

This time, Tang Jun's prestige was greatly enhanced, which caused a sensation in the local area.Li Shimin fought so beautifully in these few battles, the rebel army retreated steadily, and even captured Li Jing alive, what a result of the battle.

After all, for a long time, Li Jing and Su Dingfang were invincible, and now Li Shimin broke this myth in one fell swoop.

Even Chu Luo Khan, the leader of the Communist Party, had to admire Li Shimin's majestic strategy. Through these major battles, this Chu Luo Khan also realized that only by long-term friendly cooperation with Dongtang can he be able to achieve great success. To withstand the situation of Yang Yong's army advancing northward, Chu Luo Khan made the biggest decision in history, unconditionally ceding the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures that the two sides jointly built and managed to Li Shimin.

This land with rich water and grass was originally the land of Datang, Li Shimin certainly did his part, but he was still very happy, and expressed his high appreciation for the generosity of Mrs. "Allies" relationship.

At present, the territory actually controlled by Datang extends from Cangzhou and Dezhou in the south, to the sea in the east, to Dingzhou and Yizhou in the west, with Youzhou as the center in the north, controlling sixteen prefectures including Yanzhou and Yunzhou, and extending to the west of Liaoning in the northeast. , although this area is incomparable with the original Datang, but the area is quite vast.

In addition, they still have a trump card in their hands, which is to capture Li Jing. He is not only Yang Yong's military adviser, but also his father-in-law. rivers and mountains.

Such a victory is hard-won for Li Shimin. You must know that a few months ago, Li Shimin was still desperate and hid in the mountains. 100 people.

Now with such a vast territory and 10,000+ soldiers and horses, it is not easy. Li Shimin is the only one in the world who has such courage.

At this time Fang Mou Duan came in, Li Shimin respected them very much and asked them to sit down.

Fang Xuanling said: "His Royal Highness, now Li Jiancheng's flag has fallen, but the flag of the Tang Dynasty must not fall. The country cannot be left without a master for a day. Your Highness must choose a good and auspicious day to be enthroned and sit in the palace."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, then looked at Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui said: "His Royal Highness, Xuan Ling's words are reasonable, although Yang Yong's rebel forces in the west and south are still eyeing, but I think that the benefits of Your Highness's enthronement outweigh the disadvantages. In this way, not only will the last emperor’s behest be inherited, but also those loyal and brave men who aspire to the Great Tang will have a home to return to, a country to vote for, and a family to serve the country.”

"Keming's words are just in line with loneliness." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's words reached Li Shimin's heart. While Li Shimin was happy, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "It's just that there is one thing that has not been fulfilled. It’s better to wait a few days.”

"Your Highness is talking about Li Jing's matter?" Fang Xuanling said, "Your Highness can't rush this matter. I heard that Yang Yong is now in Lizhou and is fighting with the Western Turks. Lizhou is far away from Youzhou by thousands of rivers and mountains. He It will take some time to rush over after getting the news. Fortunately, the initiative is in our hands. He is more anxious than us. As long as Li Jing is under custody, there will be no troubles. At that time, His Highness only needs to consider what conditions to put forward. gone."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, then shook his head again, indicating that Fang Xuanling guessed correctly.

Du Ruhui took over the words, "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, His Highness is probably worried that he won't be able to be named the Queen of the Palace."

Li Shimin and Fang Mou Duan had already reached the point of talking about everything, and now Du Ruhui hit the nail on the head.It stands to reason that Li Shimin's original wife is the younger sister of Changsun Wuji. When Li Shimin ascended the throne, Mrs. Changsun should be the queen of the palace without any suspense.

But at this time, Li Shimin was thinking of another woman, that is Li Fenger, the number one assassin he trained for many years, Princess Kaiyang.

Li Shimin never doubted Li Fenger's loyalty to Li Shimin. Li Fenger was not only loyal to Li Shimin, but also fell in love with Li Shimin. sister.

It's not that Li Shimin doesn't like Li Feng'er, on the contrary, he really likes this smart, talented girl. At the critical moment, Li Shimin chose Mrs. Changsun instead of Li Fenger. The main reason is Li Shimin's status and his unwillingness to be ordinary.To put it more bluntly, it is due to Li Shimin's political career, which means that if you gain something, you will lose something.

Including later, Li Shimin asked his father to confer Li Fenger as Princess Kaiyang, and grandly gave it to Yang Yong as his wife, playing the political card of reluctantly giving up.

But now, it's time to think that everything is safe!
Not only did Li Fenger fail to kill Yang Yong, but she became a real husband and wife with Yang Yong's love and love, and she openly betrayed Li Shimin. Li Shimin could not accept this cruel fact after getting his revenge.

After learning from the pain, Li Shimin had to make another plan, which was related to the position of the Queen of the Palace. Master Yiguang left with a major mission, and there is still no news of it.Therefore, when it came to the matter of ascension to the throne, Li Shimin was a little disturbed. Once Li Shimin ascended the throne, of course he would be named the Queen of the Palace.

Du Ruhui's thoughts were right, and Li Shimin stopped being secretive, "What's Keming's opinion?"
