Reborn Prince built

Gao Junya winked, and said worriedly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Tang, there is something that makes me and Deputy Gao feel uneasy when we come in."

"Oh, I don't know what's going on?" Li Yuan frowned cooperatively and asked with concern.

Gao Junya answered: "Taiyuan has not rained for many days. If this continues, people's livelihood will be delayed again."

Li Yuan stroked his beard and sighed: "I've been so busy with recruiting and training soldiers these days, I've really lost my head. I didn't even notice such a big event. Thanks to the two of you, you are as careful as you are, and you love the people like your son."

Gao Junya almost couldn't hold back her worried face, coughed a few times and said, "So we thought about going to the Jin Temple fifty miles south of Jinyang City to hold a rain prayer meeting, and invited the Duke to preside over it."

Li Yuan smiled slightly, and said: "This method is very good, why not set it on May [-]th, and ask the two of you to take care of it."

After receiving the promise, Wang Gao and his wife breathed a sigh of relief and left Li's residence.

That night, in Li Yuan's study, several people who knew the inside story gathered together.

Li Shimin listened to his father's narration, and said with a sneer: "This plot is too obvious, if you want to take advantage of praying for rain, you have to see if you have the ability!"

Liu Wenjing rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile, "However, the two jumping clowns are now in our hands, and it's really easy to deal with them."

"Just need a high-sounding excuse." Pei Ji continued slowly.

"Collude with the Turks." Liu Zhenghui always had a calm face when he was not fighting. At this moment, he thought about it and proposed this.

"Then leave this paper of complaint to Liu Sima, Shimin." Li Yuan called out, "You take five hundred soldiers to lie in ambush at the east gate of Jinyang Palace City on the night of May [-]th. In the morning, I will ask those two people to come over to discuss the matter. At that time, Liu Sima can come with a complaint. Although they have no real power, they still have a little power. As soon as Shimin receives the news, they will surround Miyagi. Become the turtle in the urn!"

On the morning of May [-]th, Wang Gao and Wang Gao, who didn't know anything, were summoned by Li Yuan to the palace city on the grounds of discussing the detailed rules for praying for rain.Just as everyone sat down, Liu Zhenghui came in with Liu Wenjing with a serious face and a complaint in his hand.As soon as he saw Li Yuan, Liu Zhenghui said, "I have something important to report to the Duke!"

Li Yuan signaled Wang Wei to accept the complaint, but Liu Zhenghui said: "This complaint can only be read by Mr. Tang, because the people I am suing are Deputy Gao and Deputy Wang."

Wang Gao and the two were shocked when they heard the words, and Li Yuan was also surprised. He received the complaint, read it for a while, then sank his face, and shouted loudly: "Come here, take these two thieves who have been liaising with Turks. Down!"

It wasn't until this moment that the two of them realized what had happened, but it was too late.

The soldiers who had been waiting at the side immediately stepped forward and grabbed the two who were still struggling and cursing, and put them in prison.

At this time, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and others had received letters, and Chai Shao also bid farewell to Xiuning who was forced to stay in Chang'an, and rushed to Taiyuan.

When his son and son-in-law arrive, Li Yuan no longer has any scruples, and the Jinyang uprising officially kicks off...

The author has something to say: Wugou must be angry...well...well, Li Er is really a scumbag in some aspects

Battle of the West River

After several days of rushing, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji finally arrived in Jinyang.Although he was exhausted, the war was imminent, so Li Jiancheng didn't even have a good rest, let alone spare time to spend time with Li Shimin.

The father and son, together with Chai Shao and Changsun Wuji, had a private discussion. Because in June, Li Yuan was in Taiyuan with the idea of ​​abolishing the emperor and establishing a new king, and spread the message to the counties. The county magistrate of Longshan County not far from Taiyuan hurriedly notified Yuan In Luoyang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Longshan County was only a small place, and its location was remote, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Li Yuan didn't pay attention to it. What he cared about was Xihe County, which was 170 miles southwest of Taiyuan. The only way for Li Yuan to march into Guanzhong, and at the same time, the attack on Xihe County was also the first battle after raising troops, so Li Yuan attached great importance to it.

Although he sent brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, he was still worried. After all, the two brothers had never commanded a battle. .

After Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin received Li Yuan's order, they immediately started preparing to capture Xihe County. The soldiers, horses, food and grass were all prepared and piled up at the foot of the city. Li Jiancheng went to check the situation of the weapons, food and grass in person to avoid any mistakes.This was the first battle for the Li family to seize the world, and it was also an announcement to the world that Taiyuan's "rebel army" had launched an attack.

"Brother, it's bad..." Li Yuanji ran over in a panic, panting for breath.

Li Jiancheng stopped what he was doing, glanced at him, and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

"Thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly came outside the city gate. They said they were from Dou Jiande. Let us open the city gate and let them in."

Thinking that Dou Jiande has been in business for many years, he has [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, and the soldiers must be well-trained. He is entrenched in Changle, and he has the potential to become king, and there are only tens of thousands of troops in Jinyang City. If someone really wants to attack, both sides will be hurt. It may be nothing to Dou Jiande, but it is fatal to Jinyang.

"Oh? Let me go to the city gate and have a look."

With a peaceful expression, he lifted the hem of his robe and stepped on the steps of the tower, walking up the tower at a leisurely pace.Li Yuanji was quite anxious to follow behind him, but Li Jiancheng was always very measured in his actions, since he was not in a hurry, it meant that things were not that bad.

Li Jiancheng stood on the tower and looked down, and saw Dou Jiande's thousands of troops standing in a neat formation outside the moat, all wearing cloth armor and walking on cloud shoes, including both cavalry and infantry. It's an excellent team.

"I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Dou and the others?" he shouted.

A commander in armor stood out from the queue and replied: "Grand Dou is grateful for the life-saving grace of the prince, so we came to help the prince, and asked the prince to open the city gate and let me enter the city."

"Guard, open the city gate." Li Jiancheng ordered.

"No," Li Yuanji stopped, he had never disobeyed Li Jiancheng's intentions, and now he was really anxious, "Brother, how can you be so rash, we raised troops in Taiyuan to divide the world, and we have already become Dou Jiande's enemy on the surface. He sent soldiers and horses to say that he wanted to help, but the eldest brother let them in without asking clearly, what if it is to lure wolves into the house?"

Standing on the gate of the city, it was cold in the spring breeze. Li Jiancheng gathered his coat and asked, "Do you still remember that in the 11th year of Daye, I ordered you to go to Beibolei to rescue Dou Jiande who was besieged by Yang Yichen?" ?”

He made Li Yuanji risk his life to rescue Dou Jiande at the beginning because he wanted to win Dou Jiande over. Dou Jiande is a talent, it would be great if he could be used by the Li family.However, Dou Jiande is an ambitious person. Although he thought of Li Jiancheng's life-saving grace, he did not want to be under others. Now he must have heard that the Li family's uprising was short of soldiers, so he sent elite soldiers to repay his kindness. If you don't accept it, won't you let down Dou Jiande's wishes?

Li Yuanji lowered his head and said, "Yuanji is shallow."

"You've always been superficial, and my elder brother is no longer surprised." Li Shimin happened to be on the tower at this time, and when he heard Li Yuanji's words, he answered them casually.

Li Jiancheng turned to stare at him, a chill flashed in his eyes, but Li Shimin pretended not to see it, and looked down at Dou Jiande's army marching into Jinyang City with his hands behind his back.

"Don't listen to Shimin's nonsense," Li Jiancheng said, "Shimin and I will lead the troops to Xihe. It is also very important that you stay in Jinyang and help your father defend the rear. Yuanji, you have to believe in your ability."

His back was facing the rising sun, his long eyelashes were covered with a layer of golden light, the spring breeze blew, the sleeves of his clothes fluttered, and the red tassels hanging from the crown swayed gently by his ears, making his skin white as snow, and his light-colored pupils With a light and warm smile, it warms the heart.

This is the most beautiful picture Li Yuanji has seen in 15 years, even if he is asked to give everything just to stay for a moment, he is willing.

Li Shimin was a little unhappy, frowned and said: "Brother, our soldiers have different backgrounds, and some of them were even bandits and fugitives in exile. If they disturb the people on the road, they are very different from Yang Guangzhi's division."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "In this case, we should formulate strict military regulations and read them out to everyone. You can go back to the study with me, and we will have a good discussion with General Wen and the others."

Li Shimin turned his head and raised his eyebrows proudly at Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji stared and clenched his fists fiercely.

After formulating the military regulations, Li Jiancheng took Li Shimin to the school grounds. When they appeared, they caused a little commotion. Everyone didn't expect that the leader of the army was actually such an elegant person on the surface.Li Jiancheng personally read it out to the soldiers. The harsh regulations made many soldiers terrified. However, it was because of the harsh regulations that this relatively immature rebel army won a lot of reputation on the march.

On the second day, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were about to leave, and Li Yuan stood at the gate of the city to see them off.

"I think that Yang Guang has been jealous of the Li family for a long time, and has never let me hold military power, so this military family is just a name. It will be [-] this year, and Shimin will be [-], but there are not many people. Actual combat experience. The reason why you are sent to this battle is to exercise your commanding ability, and whether you can enter Guanzhong also has a great relationship with the subsequent planning, so don't let us down." Li Yuan told them road.

"Yes, father. If the construction fails, please ask father to deal with the construction with military law like a defeated army." Li Jiancheng said.

Li Yuan nodded, he was setting an example for the soldiers. Since the son was treated like this, he would treat ordinary soldiers even more harshly.
