Turbulent Times Chapter 1649: Li Shimin has returned to Guanzhong
Daye sixteen years, May seventeenth.
Duan Zhixuan led an army of 60,000 to raid the two counties controlled by Wang Shichong. They reached the city of Luoyang within a day. That night, the gates of the city were opened, and Duan Zhixuan led people into the city. He was defeated and led the remnant soldiers to escape from Luoyang City.
At this point, Luoyang City fell, and the Li Yuan Group connected Guanzhong and Luoyang. After losing the base camp in Hedong, the power finally expanded again.
Because Luoyang City was originally the old capital of the Sui Dynasty, plus Chang’an City at the beginning, the Li Yuan Group successively occupied the two capitals of the Sui Dynasty. People are as excited and excited as if they have been injected with chicken blood.
……
……
Yangzhou, the old palace of the Sui Dynasty.
Wang Junlin brought Nie Xiaoyu to visit Yue Wang Yang Tong again.
“My nephew pays homage to my uncle and aunt.” Yang Tong saluted Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu, without kneeling down to salute, but it was hard to hide the respectful look on his face and the faint fear in his heart.
Yang Tong, who was once seriously ill, was easily cured by Nie Xiaoyu. Among them, Wang Junlin also came to see him a few times. When he first saw Wang Junlin, Yang Tong tried his best to hide it, but he was very frightened. The existence of Wang Junlin is not a good thing for Wang Junlin, so when he met him for the first time, he just knelt down and saluted.
Wang Junlin talked with Yang Tong earnestly at that time, and only then dispelled most of the fear in the latter’s heart, but still did not completely dispel some of Yang Tong’s self-righteous thoughts.
This cannot be blamed on Yang Tong, after all, since ancient times, with his status as Yang Tong, it is very difficult to end well in the end.
Originally, he, Yang Tong, could still become a puppet, but with Wang Junlin’s current power, it is obvious that he does not need to take this step. In this way, he will have no value, let alone become Wang Junlin, establish a country and proclaim himself emperor obstacles.
This is also the reason why Xu Jingzong figured out what Wang Junlin meant before, and wanted Yang Tong to die of illness.
“Dong’er, how is your recovery?” Wang Junlin smiled and helped Yang Tong up.
“Report to uncle, my nephew is much better.” Yang Tong seemed very cautious.
Wang Junlin sighed secretly, knowing that it would be difficult to dispel Yang Tong’s fear of him and the non-existent worries in his heart in a short time.
“Yu Wenzhiji was captured alive by Wei Daoer and has just been sent to Yangzhou City. Do you want to kill him yourself to avenge your grandfather?” Wang Junlin said casually as he walked into the house.
Yang Tong was shocked when he heard the words, with resentment and extreme pleasure on his face, he knelt down at Wang Junlin’s feet with a thud, but tears were streaming down his face, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, “My nephew wants to imitate my uncle.” , personally killed Yuwen Zhiji with the punishment of thousands of cuts, and please uncle.”
“A thousand cuts to pieces?” Wang Junlin was a little surprised, he didn’t expect that Yang Tong’s affection for Yang Guang would be so deep, and thus his hatred for Yu Wen Zhiji would reach such a level.
But when you think about it, since Yang Guang came to Yangzhou from the south, Yang Tong, the grandson of the emperor, has been with him all the time, so it is understandable.
“It’s just that the punishment method of cutting into pieces is not easy to learn.” Wang Junlin frowned slightly. He had a good relationship with Yang Tong’s father, and he was also entrusted by him back then to take care of his children. I don’t want Yang Tong to go to
Extreme.
Yang Tong looked stubborn, and said: “Nephew will definitely learn the technique of cutting into pieces, please uncle.”
Wang Junlin took a deep look at Yang Tong, heaved a long sigh, and said, “Since you are so persistent, I will fulfill your wish, and I will arrange someone to teach you later.”
“Thank you uncle, thank you uncle for making things happen.” Yang Tong burst into tears of gratitude.
“Don’t think too much about anything, it’s easy to hurt yourself.” Originally, Wang Junlin wanted to have more conversations with Yang Tong, but at this time he didn’t have the slightest interest in talking, “I still have something to do, let’s go first Already.”
……
……
After Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu, who had never said a word, left Yang Tong’s residence, Xu Jingzong, Yu Shiji, and Shen Guoer were waiting outside.
“My lord, there is news from Huang Shaoqiu that they have established a firm foothold in the Wuman tribe, successfully repelled the four attacks of the Liang Kingdom, and killed more than 15,000 enemies. They can attack the three counties in the south of Sichuan and Sichuan at any time. Attack.” Xu Jingzong said respectfully.
Wang Junlin nodded, and said: “Send an order to Huang Shaoqiu. He decides when to launch an attack. There is no need to ask for instructions. In addition, since Xu Shiji has captured Hanzhong in the north, he can lead troops south at any time and let the two of them Get in touch with yourself and discuss the plan to capture the three counties in the south of Sichuan and Shu.”
“I’m going to arrange this now.” Xu Jingzong saluted respectfully, and then left.
Yu Shiji said respectfully: “My lord, Liang Guo Xiaozhu sent an envoy, and he will arrive in Yangzhou in three days. How should we deal with this matter?”
Wang Junlin said: “I don’t need to see this envoy anymore. I will leave this matter to you. Now that we have fought with Liang Guo, it is a shame. How to deal with it is up to you. If there is anything you are not sure about , you can report to me for instructions at any time.”
“Don’t worry, my lord, I know how to do it.” Yu Shiji was overjoyed in his heart, it was a great achievement to get this matter done.
After Yu Shiji left, Wang Junlin, Nie Xiaoyu, and Shen Guoer boarded the carriage.
Shen Guoer reported in a low voice: “My lord, there is news from Guanzhong that Li Shimin has entered the pass and will arrive in Chang’an City in three days.”
Wang Junlin sighed and said with emotion: “Li Shimin deserves to be Li Shimin. Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, he not only escaped from Hanzhong City, but also let Duan Zhixuan capture Luoyang and destroy Wang Shichong.”
Nie Xiaoyu suddenly said: “That’s good, otherwise the original plan to make Li Shimin kill people may not be 100% successful.”
Wang Junlin said with a smile: “That’s right, although Li Shimin was decisive and ruthless, he didn’t have 100% confidence before. Now that he has the confidence to win in Luoyang, let’s follow the original plan to add some fire to his heart.” , if he doesn’t start killing again, he won’t be Li Shimin.”
……
……
In the sixteenth year of Daye, on the first day of June, Li Shimin led 3,000 cavalry out of the Qinling Mountains, entered Guanzhong, and came to Chang’an City with the victory of capturing Luoyang.
At dusk, the bleak sun shines through the Qinling Mountains, and the weather has become hot. The fields in the surrounding fields are green, and there are green mountains and green waters in the distance.
The clouds gradually thickened, swallowing the scorching sun directly into the darkness, the wind also gradually increased, thunder rang, lightning flashed continuously, and soon the bean-sized raindrops fell from
The sky is falling.
In this season, the rain in Guanzhong comes and goes as soon as it is said, so it is called “Guoyu”.
When the wind and rain came back again, the people on the road were miserable, looking for the nearby cottages or inns to rest. This year can not be compared with the later generations. After the heavy rain, the mountain road is prone to floods. Every year, people who drive in the mountains There are many things that people are accidentally washed away by floods.
Li Shimin and his party had a lot of people, and it was difficult to find a place to shelter from the rain, so they speeded up, preparing to cross the mountain road in front of them before the flood appeared, and there was a mountain village on the other side, where they could rest and shelter from the rain.
Li Shimin suffered some minor injuries when he escaped from Hanzhong City a few days ago, so instead of riding a horse, he took a carriage, and the windows and the lower edge of the carriage were sealed very well, without a trace of damp and cold air Penetrating in, there is only the sound of rain falling on banana leaves on the car board, which is rapid and detailed.
Because it was hot before, and now the windows are closed tightly, making the cabin warm like spring, which is in stark contrast to the damp and cold outside.
Li Shimin felt a little hot, stretched **** of his right hand to his neck, loosened the button of the fur coat, exposed his neck, took two deep breaths, then put down the file just sent by the spies in his hand, slightly Heaving a sigh of relief, he squinted his eyes and looked out of the car.
Just received the news that the Far Eastern Army has wiped out Yuwen Zhiji and captured Danyang County. Wei Daoer has led the Steel Sword Battalion to Huainan, ready to attack Li Zitong.
And his good brother, Li Xuanba, led the 50,000 cavalry of the Blast Bear Battalion, who had set off from the Central Plains and headed straight for Du Fuwei in Huaibei.
If the Far Eastern Army were allowed to take down Huaibei and Huainan, the entire north of the Yangtze River would only be left with their Guanzhong and Luoyang areas, and everything else would be Wang Junlin’s world.
Li Shimin frowned and pondered for a long time, and couldn’t find a way to break the situation for a while. What’s more, there is a big problem in the Li family. No matter what he thinks, he must first solve the internal problem, otherwise the internal constraints will not only make him unable to do anything well, but may also bring him a fatal blow .
Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, Li Shimin sighed, raised the curtains of the car, looked around, and saw a vast expanse of rain outside the car, Cangshan cottages and small farmland ponds were all covered by misty rain, making it difficult to see clearly.
At this time, the convoy had already passed through the mountain road, and in the distance was a row of shabby houses. It could be seen that the materials used in the construction were not very strong, and they could not keep out the cold, but at least they could shelter from the wind and rain.
Looking at the little fire light and a little warmth coming out of it, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. As long as there is popularity in the village, it is fine. Although the life of the people in this era is hard, they are also very strong in vitality. Under the environment, they can endure it very well. If the people in Guanzhong can’t survive, their Li family should surrender to Wang Junlin early, maybe they can still be rich and powerful, and what kind of world can they fight.
“Find a place to rest.” Li Shimin watched the soldiers outside come to ask for instructions, and ordered first.
“Yes! Young Master.”
The convoy turned a corner slowly and drove towards the neighboring village along the widest field ridge.
The men and horses entered the village, and a local Lizheng rushed over to greet them tremblingly. This Lizheng was wearing a cape to protect him from the rain, and looked curiously and timidly at the carriage surrounded by three thousand cavalry. It looked as if he was guessing in his heart which important person would be on his way in this stormy day.
