Chapter 779 Tang Wang Li Yuan

Guanzhong.

The capital, Daxing.

Li Yuanlong enters the sea and tiger enters the mountains and forests.

Taking advantage of the melee between Dou Jiande, Li Mi and Wang Shichong in the Central Plains, he finally found an opportunity to escape westward and escape into Guanzhong.

The soldiers entered Guanzhong, so they were naturally very happy for Xiaoguo Army. They finally returned to their hometown, and they also supported Li Yuan who brought them back to Beijing.

At this time, Guanzhong was empty, and the guard Xuan Wei Wensheng, with a few troops from Xijing, was heading to Luoyang to attack Li Mi. When Wei Wensheng sent troops, Yang Guang had not been killed. He was ordered by the emperor to go out to Luoyang to fight the thieves. Who knew that the emperor was killed after he came out.

Then Wang Shichong held a emperor, and Li Yuan held another emperor.

Of course, Wei Wensheng should have supported the Emperor of Guanzhong, but at this time he led his troops in Luoyang, and the army's food and grass were all supplied by Wang Shichong. Many of his generals and schools were also swept and bought by Wang Shichong. At that time, Li Yuan and others were blocked in Pengcheng and it was difficult for them to return to Beijing. In this case, Wei Wensheng finally had to express his support for Wang Shichong to support King Yue as the Emperor.

But in this way, when Li Yuan entered the pass, Wei Wensheng was determined to be a rebel and could not return to Guanzhong.

"Wei Xuan is better if he doesn't return to Beijing."

Li Yuan said to his three sons, "If he comes back, it will be a problem."

After all, Wei Wensheng is not alone. He has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, not to mention that he has stayed in Xijing for several years before. He has a team of left-behind here, and his mastery of this place is better than Li Yuan.

How would Li Yuan want him to come back now?

After taking the opportunity to list Wei Xuan as a rebellious person, Li Yuan acted very quickly.

As soon as he entered Guanzhong, Li Yuan held an important meeting with his confidant.

At this meeting, Li Yuan decided to divide all the relevant troops into three armies, and the three armies into the left and right wings.

At the same time, he also decided to set up the General's Mansion and set up the government to establish his subordinates, and Li Yuan was the General.

He was originally one of the six ministers of the regents and was also the prime minister, but Li Yuan now wants to call himself a general, which undoubtedly means getting rid of the other prime ministers of the regents.

Wang Shichong was a traitor and was naturally removed from the list of the regents. Chen Len stayed in Jianghuai and came to Hu'er to die of illness in Pengcheng. Yang Yichen and Xiao Yu were in Hedong. In this way, he was actually the only one regents in Beijing.

But Li Yuan was not satisfied, but wanted to set up another General's Mansion, which was comparable to Luo Cheng's Marshal's Mansion, which was to transfer the central government of Guanzhong to his General's Mansion.

In order for him to take full control.

After the meeting.

Li Yuan met the emperor and the regent Empress Xiao and presented a list.

Xiao took it.

I saw a list of officials written on it.

Li Yuan was granted the title of King of Tang, and was promoted to General, and Xu Kaifu.

Li Jian became the Duke of Longyou County, the commander-in-chief of the left commander, and the left three armies were under his command.

Li Shimin was the Duke of Dunhuang County, the commander-in-chief of the right leader, and the three right armies were under his command.

Liu Wenjing was Sima, Chai Shao was the chief secretary, Tang Jian and Wen Daya, Wen Daya's brothers were the record room, etc.

However, Shen Guang, a hero, was granted the position of Jiannan Pacification Envoy and sent to appease Jiannan and Yunnan. This was obvious that he wanted to seize Shen Guang's military power and squeeze him out of the center.

Li Yuan also specially asked his son Li Yuanji to be the Duke of Nanyang County and asked him to lead an army to guard Wuguan. This was their route when they entered the pass, and now he sent this son to guard him.

The long list is all Li Yuan’s people.

The Xiaoguo Army who returned from Jiangnan also had some soldiers and horses left behind in Zhong, totaling about 120,000. Li Yuan divided them into six armies, but they were all handed over to his son to command.

The commanders of the following six armies are basically Li Yuan's people.

Not to mention the establishment of his General's Mansion, the intention was very obvious.

But after seeing it, Empress Dowager Xiao just told Li Yuan about military and national affairs through the screen, and he bothered the King of Tang. Faced with Li Yuan's cross-border behavior, Xiao did not get angry, blame, nor did he object. She had actually expected this day long ago.

She had proposed to go to Liaodong at the beginning, but she knew that she had no hope for the Sui Dynasty. Now that Li Yuan is like this, she was already expected.

Li Yuan could not have imagined that Empress Dowager Xiao would cooperate so much.

After receiving the edict from the regent Empress Dowager, he immediately began to fully grasp power.

On the one hand, Li Yuan sent his son-in-law, brothers, nephews from his family to lead the troops, and at the same time he also rewarded the noble officials and soldiers of Guanzhong.

The most ruthless thing Li Yuan did was to award all the 120,000 Guanzhong soldiers and generals.

Giving awards to 120,000 medals at one time is simply a breakthrough in the sky.

Not only did he awarded meritorious officials to soldiers, Li Yuan then awarded meritorious officials to all those over 60 years old in Guanzhong, and to those over 70 years old, all of whom were awarded meritorious officials.

As for the original officials, all the officials were upgraded to one level.

As for the original nobles, Li Yuan expressed his gracefully that he could restore the title before Daye three years ago. In the third year of Daye, he changed the title system, leaving only the third grade of princes and marquis. At that time, many nobles' titles were dismissed.

Now Li Yuan generously stated that all the Bozimen who were below the Marquis would be restored. In addition, all the county and county officials who were dismissed were restored. For some who supported him, Li Yuan, he even awarded them the title.

Some old nobles and officials who retired in Daxing City were also a little scared to see this situation.

"It is not advisable to be too overly awarded officials and titles. How can a country's famous artifacts be easily imposed?"

But Li Yuan ignored these advice at all. When he talked to his son and son-in-law, he expressed his true attitude. "Yang Guang was too stingy with rewards at the beginning, so everyone was unwilling to follow him. Now when our Li family started a business, we should not be stingy with rewards. The key now is to attract people's hearts and seize the world first. As for the others, they can be discussed in the future."

Li Yuan patted Li Jiancheng on the shoulder, "If my Li family really wins the world in the future, even if I am old and unable to deal with these, you can still get rid of your title and your title when the time is right in the future."

Although Li Yuan is making a fuss, it has to be said that his actions have attracted the support of countless noble officials and soldiers. After all, who is unwilling to be promoted or awarded a title?

Li Yuan was also generous to the Yang family. After entering the pass, he took out a lot of money and silk from the treasury in the Xijing treasury to reward the soldiers. At that time, everyone was promoted and awarded merits. Who was unhappy?

For a time, the reputation of the general Li Yuan rose sharply, and the soldiers of Guanzhong only recognized Li Yuan but did not recognize the Emperor of the Yang family.

"Father, now we only occupy a corner of Guanzhong. There is Liang Shidu in Shuofang, Yundingxing in Hetao, and Qiang rebellion in Longyou. Tuyuhun also took the opportunity to rebel in the restoration of the country. Xiao Xian in Jingxiang, Jiannan and Yunnan and other places are also isolated from me, not to mention that there is Wang Shichong and Li Mi in the Central Plains, Luo Cheng in Shandong and Liaodong, Dou Jiande in Hebei, Luo Siye in Dingxiang, and Liu Wuzhou in Mayi. My father, although we returned to Guanzhong west, the situation is still critical."

Li Shimin said to Li Yuan, "The child has several strategies to alleviate this unfavorable situation."
