Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 446 The Emperor's Heart
Although the tortoise has a longevity, there is still time.

When the snake rides in the fog, it turns into dust.

Lao Ji Fuping, ambition of thousands of miles.

The martyrs are young and strong.

The period of profit and contraction is not only in the sky;
The blessing of the good fortune can be won forever.

Fortunately, even swearing, the song is ambiguous.

Sitting in the courtyard of his home, Hou Junji looked at the new shoots growing on the trees, and slightly read out this poem "Gui Shu Shou" by Cao Cao. It was written before preparing to go south to conquer Jing and Wu. Calculated according to the years of Cao Cao's birth and death, Cao Cao was already 53 years old at this time. In that era, when medical conditions were not developed, it was really remarkable to be able to live to 53 years old. I can't help but It reminded Cao Cao of the journey of life, so the beginning of the poem was full of emotion.

This poem means that it is impossible for human beings to live and die against the laws of nature. Now that we know the result, we must have the never-ending pursuit of ideals and a positive and enterprising spirit. Youth, keep making progress.

Such a philosophical poem full of real experience of life shines with the light of philosophical wisdom, bursts with passion for forging ahead, and resounds with an optimistic tone, showing Cao Cao's enterprising spirit of self-improvement and optimism of loving life.

Hou Junji read this poem, how can I say it? Everyone knows Sima Zhaozhi's heart, he wants to be aggressive, Hou Junji's thoughts, in fact, Li Jing saw through this time very early, but it is a pity that Li Shimin didn't I don't believe Li Jing.

Li Jing was an official of the Sui Dynasty first, and he was very loyal to the Sui Dynasty. When the capital of the Sui Dynasty was captured and died in name only, he chose to go with Li Tang, the most powerful man. Li Jing was a genius in military affairs, and Li Shimin recognized Li Jing in this respect very much. Li Shimin is also wary of Li Jing because of his high military talent.

Hou Junji likes to study military affairs, but his level is not high, so Li Shimin ordered Li Jing to teach him.

But when Li Jing was teaching Hou Junji, he discovered that Hou Junji was an ambitious person, because Li Jing was a careful person. One day after the morning court, he saw Hou Junji riding back to the Yamen.

But when he arrived in front of Shang Shusheng's gate, he forgot to stop and walked forward, obviously thinking about big things.From this, Li Jing concluded that Hou Junji must have the intention of treason, but the time was not right and he did not show it.

So when Li Jing taught Hou Junji, he deliberately taught less core things. Who knew that Hou Junji was angered by this and took Li Shimin's favor, so Hou Junji immediately gave Li Shimin a favor.

The above table said that Li Jing didn't pay attention to teaching him at all, and every time he went to a critical place, he would skip it. Obviously he didn't take the emperor's will to heart, he must be planning to rebel.

Li Shimin also didn't like Li Jing, so he immediately called out Li Jing, and scolded Li Jing, why didn't he teach Hou Junji well and scolded Li Jing for a long time.

Li Jing also had a hard time saying it, he couldn't say that he didn't stop when he saw Hou Jun gathered in front of Shang Shuxing's gate, so it can be concluded that this person has the intention of treason, because Li Shimin would not believe it if he said so.

Fortunately, Li Jing was very smart, he immediately counterattacked, and said that it was Hou Junji's rebellion.

Li Shimin didn't understand, it was Hou Junji who told you of rebellion, why did you say that Hou Junji was rebellious at this time?
Li Jing then analyzed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the world is peaceful now, and the art of war I taught him is enough to maintain the stability of the country. But he is not satisfied with these, and wants to learn deeper skills. This is not obviously selfish and wants to rebel. It was him. It is really unreasonable to accuse me now. "

Li Shimin was slightly taken aback when he heard it at first, but after some analysis, he thought it made sense.

However, since he thought that he had always been very kind to Hou Junji, it was impossible for him to be rebellious.Therefore, Li Shimin no longer considered this matter, but he also stopped asking the two of them about learning the art of war.

It's a pity that Li Shimin's love for talents was still in vain. A burly man appeared behind Hou Junji just after Hou Junji finished reading his poems.

Hou Junji didn't look back, but asked indifferently: "How are you getting ready?"

Then I heard the answer from the other party: "The fierce fire oil has stored two thousand catties, which is completely enough to burn that place to ashes. There are also bows, equipment, armor, and horses. The prince has also sent them over to equip our 5000 people."

With a slight smile, Hou Junji said lightly: "That's good Chengqian kid, he's still too immature, he doesn't look like his old man at all, as long as he takes the lead, he will try his best to suppress him, I will destroy a country, thanks He was so big that he was imprisoned as soon as he came back. I have already seen through Li Shimin.

It's because he is unkind, so don't blame me for being unrighteous. One month later, he will go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat. At that time, it will be our best chance! "

Jiucheng Palace is located in Linyou County, Baoji, Shaanxi. Because of the high terrain, Linyou has a cool morning and evening climate, with an average annual temperature of 2-9 degrees. It was a summer resort for the emperors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The building of Jiucheng Palace is centered on Tiantai Mountain in West Wuli, Linyou County. Although this mountain is not high, its Yangchong cliff rises, borders Dushui in the south, and Mafang River in the northwest. It is surrounded by mountains and has water flow. Among them, the scenery is beautiful, and the palaces and pavilions are built according to the height of the mountain. According to the description in "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" written by Wei Zheng, the anti-mountain hall is crowned, the high pavilions are built around, and the corridors are everywhere.

Li Shimin would come here every year, and every spring and winter, he would stay for several months and half a year before returning to Chang'an City, and because of this, it was called the Summer Palace.

"It's just whether your combat power can fight against the prestigious Xuanjia Army?"

In response to Hou Junji's laughing question, the burly man on the side showed a firm look: "The [-] dead soldiers in the Beifu have longed for it for too long. The Beifu was once the most powerful army in the world, but it's a pity that they didn't meet tomorrow. host.

But now it is different, our Beifu has met Mingzhu, this time the Beifu will definitely not let Mingzhu down, we will kill a hundred riders, and become famous all over the world! "

"Okay!" Hou Junji laughed loudly: "This is encouraging, this battle must be won!"

Few people in Beifu have heard of this army, which was once formed by Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty under the order of Xie's family. It was originally under the sole control of Xie's family, but after the decline of Xie's family, it changed hands several times.

The original intention of forming this army was to resist the invasion of the Qin people in the north. In fact, they did it.In the battle with the Qin State, Beifu soldiers defeated the sharp soldiers of the Qin Army in the battle of Feishui. Since then, they have become famous and became famous in the first battle.

It's a pity that within two years, the Xie family lost control of the Beifu soldiers. The military power of the Beifu soldiers was divided into multiple shares and led by multiple people. As a result, the once prestigious Beifu soldiers have declined since then.

But the Xie family did not die. Hou Junji accidentally rescued a slave, and this slave was a member of the Xie family. In order to regain the glory of his Xie family, the Xie family began to fight for Hou Junji works.

Back then, Hou Junji's Beifu army was able to defeat Gaochang. You thought Gaochang was easy to fight?

You must know that Gaochang has a population of only 3. But Li Shimin sent 20 people to attack, but Gaochang is not afraid of these 20 people, because the periphery of Gaochang is a desert of two thousand miles.

Tang Bing is here!Qu Wentai, king of Gaochang, did not believe the news at all.Who are you kidding?Datang is 7000 miles away from Gaochang, and there are 2000 miles of desert in the middle. There are no aquatic plants, the wind is as cold as a knife at night, and the heat wave is like burning during the day.Don't even think about it.

Qu Wentai is a man who has seen the world.During the reign of Emperor Sui Yang, he had been to China, and the prosperity of China made him dumbfounded.When Li Shimin went to China again, what he saw was a depression on the border, and the gap with Emperor Sui Yang's era was simply heaven and earth.Based on this, he believed that Li Shimin was not as capable as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and gradually came up with the idea of ​​breaking away from the Tang Dynasty.

Qu Wentai didn't believe the news that Tang Jun came to Gaochang.No wonder, apart from the harsh geographical environment, food transportation for the march is also a problem.Such a long way, how many people can Tang Bing come?

With less than 3 yuan, Qu Wentai is confident that he can deal with it. He even thought that even if the Tang army came to the city and stayed behind closed doors, they would have to surround the city for at most 20 days and they would run out of food.

However, Qu Wentai did not expect that Hou Junji had a Beifu army under his command. This Beifu army with less than 2000 soldiers had blazed a way for Hou Junji at the fastest speed at the cost of 500 people killed in battle.

Under such a premise, Hou Junji was able to attack Gaochang State City so quickly, and the Tang Army soldiers were approaching Qikou, and they were about to approach the city soon.Qu Wentai was stupid, Li Shimin actually came for the truth!Tang Jun can really fly 7000 miles, cross the 2000-mile desert to the distant Gaochang!Are they gods?
How can a small country in the Western Regions compete with the Tang Empire?Qu Wentai was anxious and worried, not knowing what to do.However, he was relieved soon, and Qu Wentai, who was in distress, was so anxious that he fell ill and died.

Originally, the Beifu army could be famous in the first battle, but when Hou Junji was about to report his merits to the Beifu army, who knew, someone started to report Hou Junji's crimes, and followed Li Shimin to issue an order to reprimand him.

At this moment, Hou Junji's rebellious heart began to stir. Hou Junji is this kind of villain. The villain has a behavior, that is, he likes to keep a hand for himself. At this time, the Beifu Army is what Hou Junji left for him. one hand.

Unexpectedly, Hou Junji was imprisoned by Li Shimin directly after returning to Chang'an. What was even more exasperating was that Li Shimin imprisoned himself, who had made great achievements in destroying the country, and showed a benevolent face.

From that moment on, Hou Junji felt that Li Shimin was disgusting, and his greatest wish was to kill Li Shimin. Finally, Li Chengqian made contact with him, and Hou Junji was overjoyed.

This Li Chengqian is an idiot. He pretended to help this guy, married his daughter to him to confuse him, and made Li Chengqian trust him. In the end, he planned to kill Li Chengqian.

At this time, Li Chengqian still foolishly thought that his father-in-law was helping him wholeheartedly.
