Chapter 268 Yi Chu's Thoughts
Yang Wengan rebelled!
Li Jiancheng was very concerned about Yang Wengan and promoted him from a small guard leader of the Eastern Palace to the general of the military of Qing, Yuan, Yuan, Hui, Ning, Jing, and Long Qizhou, to guard the northern border defense line of the Tang Dynasty. It was a great kindness... But not everyone was called Yuchi Jingde, and not everyone was called Cheng Yaojin.
The opposite of Yuchi Jingde, Li Jiancheng's win over Li Jiancheng refused. Cheng Yaojin even more, Li Jiancheng wanted to cut off Li Shimin's right-hand man and asked Li Yuan to issue an order to transfer Cheng Yaojin from Chang'an and go to Kangzhou to be the governor. Cheng Yaojin did not say anything, and found Li Shimin with the imperial edict, tore the imperial edict in front of him. At the risk of beheading the whole family, he refused to resist the imperial edict and continued to follow Li Shimin.
Yu Wenying is the prince's man, and he was ordered to invite Yang Wengan.
According to Li Yuan's intention, he tricked Yang Wengan into Phoenix Valley on the grounds of summoning the emperor and asking about the defense of the Turks. Regardless of whether Yang Wengan had the intention to rebel, he first controlled himself, removed his weapons, and then spoke.
But Yu Wenying had a different idea. When he arrived at the Governor's Office of Qingzhou, he did not regard himself as an outsider. He told Yang Wengan very bluntly about the situation of Prince Li Jiancheng.
Yu Wenying thought that Yang Wengan was promoted by Li Jiancheng from the grassroots level, and should be loyal to Li Jiancheng. When he heard that Li Jiancheng was in such a dead end, he would go to help Li Jiancheng clear his charges without saying a word and save Li Jiancheng.
But Yu Wenying thought too naively.
Whether a person is truly loyal is not measured by interests.
Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin were loyal to Li Shimin, although it was because they valued affection and friendship. Li Shimin trusted them more because of the deep affection accumulated on the battlefield.
Li Shimin must go before every battle, and Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin serve as the commander-in-chief. There is no less of them. They support each other on the battlefield and share life and death. This kind of friendship accumulated through life and death is something that cannot be exchanged for interests.
On the contrary, Li Jiancheng had a few war formations, and the generals around him had no chance to charge and show their talents. Those who could go upstairs were either introduced by their noble family background or promoted by their feelings. Yang Wen was smart and good at judging the superior intentions, and was tragic and desperate. He was talking about the scattered and the sensible. However, when he encountered real danger, he immediately became timid.
As the saying goes, the horse's strength is seen from a distance, and this is how it is.
Li Jiancheng was trapped in Phoenix Valley. The reason for being trapped was that Yang Wengan intended to attack Phoenix Valley to rebel and kill the lord. He let Yu Wenying say something so scattered. Yang Wengan did not dare to fall into the trap of the crime of intention to rebel. He thought about it all over the place, but after persuading from the left and right, he felt that he could not escape death anyway, so he simply turned it back and asked for a glimmer of hope.
Yang Wengan was originally used by Li Jiancheng to recruit private soldiers. Most of the soldiers and generals under his command did not listen to the name of the court, and mainly Yang Wengan, and ordered them. In a short period of time, they gathered more than 20,000 troops and horses, with a huge momentum.
Phoenix Valley Renzhi Palace.
Li Yuan received news of Yang Wengan's rebellion. He was furious and was deeply disappointed with Li Jiancheng.
He always favored Li Jiancheng, believing that Li Jiancheng was respectful and filial, kind to others, and as the prince, he could do his best to assist the king and father, and he would definitely be an excellent Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Therefore, no matter how high and high Li Shimin was, he would not have the idea of Yi Chu for a moment. The ministers who persuaded him Yi Chu made him scold him and then sent him to other places. But today he had the first time in history to think of Yi Chu.
As an emperor, he naturally hoped that he would have an outstanding heir, not an heir who could not withstand the storm. Otherwise, Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, would not be dissatisfied with Emperor Hui of Han, and later Li Shimin would not be worried about his little Jiu Li Zhi's cowardice, etc.
In this plan, Li Jiancheng made Li Shimin a mess first, and his performance was a bit clumsy and unsatisfactory. In the end, the most trusted confidant was still an ungrateful wolf, and he made serious mistakes in using people to identify people.
On the other hand, Li Shimin performed very well. Needless to mention his martial arts, his level of governing the country has also improved rapidly in recent years, and he has the potential to become a monarch. As for the planner of this incident, Li Yuan took it a little indifferently. As an emperor, he did not reject a son with a heroic potential.
Martial arts, governance of the country, and power and tricks seemed to be above Li Jiancheng.
However, the matter was urgent, and Li Yuan did not seriously consider the matter. He carefully invited Li Shimin, Pingyang, Pei Ji, Feng Deyi, and Luo Shixin to Renzhi Palace to discuss how to deal with Yang Wengan's rebellion this time.
"I won't repeat the details!" Li Yuan frowned. In just a few days, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had more white hair: "Yang Wengan rushed to Renzhi Palace with a quick horse and whipped it. It was also a big deal that I was unable to send troops to Guanzhong to help in time. Now we only have 3,000 troops. All my dear friends are pillars of my Tang Dynasty. What are the advantages of facing such a crisis?"
In fact, it was not that Li Yuan did not send troops to support, but was transferred and sent back.
At first he believed Erzhu Huan, Qiao Gongshan and Du Feng's words, thinking that Li Jiancheng had an anti-intention and asked Li Shimin and Luo Shixin to be responsible for defense, so he issued an order to mobilize troops. Later, he found that everything was Li Shimin's secret plan. Although Li Jiancheng was not considered unjust, he did not mean to rebel.
Li Yuan had an attitude of turning big things into small things. If the army of the king arrived, it would be known to everyone in the world, so he issued another order to retreat the army of the king.
Now it's gone. The King of Residents retreated, but Yang Wengan really rebelled, which leads to the recurrence of the crisis.
And this time it was a real rebellion.
Pei Ji and Feng Deyi are all fools and pretending to be conspiracies and tricks. They are all guys who are not good at military affairs, and now they are blinded.
Li Yuan didn't expect them, and looked at Li Shimin, Pingyang, Luo Shixin and others.
When Luo Shixin saw Li Shimin, Pingyang had no intention of speaking. He took the lead: "The first step was naturally to ask for help. Their soldiers were more than 20,000, which was a little disadvantage than the force. The dispatch of troops from Chang'an was a little far away, and the time was a little tight. Yang Wengan also took the military service of Qing, Yuan, Yuan, Hui, Ning, Jing, and Long Qizhou, and the close-range military was within the jurisdiction, so he might not be able to trust it. However, the Tianjie Army of the last general did not have this doubt. He could send people to Jingzhou to let Su Dingfang, the deputy general of the last general, come to rescue. To deal with Yang Wengan, the 20,000 Tianjie Army of the last general was enough."
Li Yuan praised him for his goodness and immediately wrote an imperial edict.
Li Shimin also said at this time: "My son also thinks that we should pay attention to General Li Yi of Ningzhou. This man is cunning and has experienced many battles. He must not let him and Yang Wengan be together to encourage the momentum of the rebels."
Li Yuan said in surprise: "Why is Li Yi in Ningzhou?" He didn't know Li Jiancheng's arrangements yet.
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "It was the appointment of the prince in recent days. He asked him to take charge of the Zhewei Army. My sons just learned about it."
"Damn it!"
Li Yuan cursed inwardly.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "I hope my father will send a respected figure to lobby to stabilize Li Yi's heart."
Li Yuan's eyes were on Pei Ji, Feng Deyi, and finally fixed it on Feng Deyi. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
