Chapter 242 Princess Pingyang kills all sides

In the Chengqian Hall of the Qin King's Mansion in Chang'an City, Fang Xuanling held the diary and looked at the appointment of the court Li Jing, Li Yi and Li Shiji. Fang Xuanling frowned and asked, "Is this the content of the diary?"

Hou Junji nodded.

Fang Xuanling asked again: "Where is the king?"

Hou Junji spread his hands.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Shimin and said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty is already deeply suspicious of the king. It seems that he will not let the king continue to lead troops."

Hou Junji nodded with a gloomy face.

Li Shimin suddenly said expressionlessly: "I will write a letter to Li Shiji and Li Jing..."

Speaking of this, Du Yan walked in and said bluntly: "Why did Your Highness write a letter to Li Jing and Xu Shiji?"

Li Shimin said embarrassedly: "I want to..."

Du Yan snatched the conversation without hesitation and said, "Since Your Highness asked Du to participate in military affairs, Du would tell you everything. Your Highness wrote a letter to these two people, which was a mistake on the battlefield."

Li Shimin lowered his head guiltily.

Du Yan said loudly: "Li Jing and Xu Shiji are both commanders of the army guarding one side. Their attitude is important, but they cannot relieve their thirst. The king has said that the battlefield is now in Chang'an. The king himself is the most reputable commander in Chang'an City, so why should he borrow the power of Li and Xu? What should he be anxious now is the prince. The prince has a shallow foundation in the twelve guards, so he needs to be more anxious!"

Li Shimin stood up and respectfully saluted Du Yan and said, "Du Juncao is right, it's Xiao Wang's stupid..."

Du Yan accepted it calmly.

Li Shimin asked again: "Du Juncao, now, what are the ways to let Xiao Wang lead the army to fight and quell the rebellion of the Jianghuai Army?"

Du Yan shook his head and said, "It's impossible, the king doesn't have to work hard. Your Highness has no chance to get it in the Jianghuai Rebellion."

Li Shimin laughed in silence and said, "You mean that King Hejian took charge of the command of Jianghuai?"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin said with disdain on his face: "If King Hejian is the commander and Li Jing is the deputy senator, then whether it is the Jianghuai army or the Fu Gongyou, it is naturally not worth worrying. But now, King Hejian leads his troops alone to fight, and his previous efforts will probably be ineffective, and all his previous efforts will be wasted."

Du Yan shook his head and said, "Even if King Hejian fails, Your Majesty will not appoint His Highness to take charge of the battle!"

Li Shimin became even more strange at this time. He said in confusion: "Didn't Du Juncao also say it? In Chang'an, I am the most reputable commander."

"Yes, but it will not be there soon!" Du Yan looked at Li Shimin and said, "King, Duke Liang, General Chen will arrive in Chang'an at most three days. If General Chen is in Chang'an, would you say that Your Majesty will still appoint His Highness to take charge of the battle?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin remained silent.

In terms of reputation and achievements, he is indeed inferior to Li Jing, and even worse than Chen Ying. In the past few years, Chen Ying has always been a firefighter in the Tang Dynasty. Wherever there is a crisis, Chen Ying turned the tide.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin pretended to be relaxed and said: "Since that's the case, we are looking forward to General Chen's light cavalry to quell the Jianghuai Rebellion!"

...

The entire military layout of the Tang Dynasty was the strong, weak, and the main elites of the Tang Dynasty were concentrated in the Guanzhong area, especially the 676-Zhechongfu in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which occupied 367, more than half.

In fact, as early as the beginning of Fu Gongyou's rebellion, the first to rebel was Zhang Shan'an of the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Shan'an surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the first month of the fifth year of Wude. Then in March of the sixth year of Wude (623), Zhang Shan'an rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty sent Shuzhou chief supervisor Zhang Zhenzhou and others to attack Zhang Shan'an. In April, Zhang Shan'an captured Sunzhou, captured Wang Rong and retreated his troops. In August, Fu Gongyou raised his troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in Danyang, established a country, united with Zhang Shan'an, and used Zhang Shan'an as the grand station of the southwest road. In November, Zhou Faming, the chief supervisor of Huangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, led his troops to attack Fu Gongyou, and Zhang Shan'an occupied Xiakou to resist Zhou Faming.

Fu Gongyou naturally knew that the Li Tang court would never let him go. After learning that Fu Gongyou was rebelling, the Li Tang court immediately deployed a large net, and troops from Qizhou, Huai River, Si Shui, Qiaozhou, Bozhou, Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi), Jiao, Guang, Quan, Gui and other prefectures went to Xuanzhou (now Xuancheng, Anhui).

After all, Fu Gongyou was not a mud-legged person who had just rebelled. He began to follow Du Fuwei in the ninth year of Daye, so when the Li Tang Dynasty set up this fishing net formation, Fu Gongyou was not idle either. He sent his general Xu Shaozong to attack Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), and Chen Zhengdao to attack Shouyang (now Shou County, Anhui).

However, at this time, Zhou Faming, the general of Huangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, could no longer sit still. He immediately led three thousand navy troops and six thousand strong soldiers to attack Fu Gongyou. It is said that Zhou Faming was not famous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but his second brother Zhou Fashang was more famous. Zhou Fashang was the general of the Left Wu Guard, following the general of the navy. The general of the Left Yi Guard, Lai Huer, led 40,000 navy troops to attack Pyongyang from the water.

It was also the only time that the Sui army invaded Pyongyang in history. Last year, Zhou Fashang led the troops to the rear of the palace.

Zhou Faming was not as brave and courageous as his second brother Zhou Fashang, but he was even more a good person to take advantage of tricks. He was originally the Zhending Order at the end of the Sui Dynasty. During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he seizures Huangzhou. Li Mi has great power. He surrendered to Li Mi and was appointed as the chief supervisor of the Huangmen by Li Mi. Later, he annexed the three states and surrendered to Xiao Xian. Xiao Xian was weak. He surrendered to Li Tang in the fourth year of Wude. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of Xiao Xian's Anzhou General Ma Guiqian, he captured Ma Guiqian alive and was appointed by Li Yuan as the chief supervisor of Huangzhou and Duke of Qiao.

When Zhou Faming saw Fu Gongyou rebelling, he was ready and the opportunity to make contributions came. He immediately led his army to attack Xiakou. History often has amazing similarities. Zhou Faming watched the limelight by riding a fence. If he had milk, he would be able to make a fortune. But at the same time, his opponent Zhang Shanan was also such a guy.

Seeing Zhou Faming being powerful and arrogant, Zhang Shan'an sent someone to pretend to be a fisherman. Zhou Faming was not prepared and was assassinated by Zhang Shan'an's troops. His generals were defeated. In addition to a small number of troops, they included three thousand navy troops and six thousand infantrymen, and more than two-thirds of them surrendered to Zhang Shan'an.

With the first victory in the first anti-Tang war, Zhang Shan'an turned his attention to Youzhou.

Youzhou is a place name with a very short existence in Chinese history. It only lasts for five years. It was built in the third year of Wude and ended in the eighth year of Wude. Its jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to some areas of Jing County, Jingde County, Huangshan District, Huangshan City, Dongzhi County, Qingyang County, and Shitai County in Chizhou City.

Zhang Shanan annexed Zhou Faming's troops and fought hard against Youzhou.

However, Zhang Shan'an in Youzhou met a fool. The governor of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty and the general manager of Xuanzhou Zuo Kuangzheng led the Zhechong Prefecture of Xuanzhou to resist the fierce attack of Zhang Shan'an's subordinates.

Zuo Kuangzheng actually had only one Xuanzhou Zhechong Prefecture under his command, but this Zhechong Prefecture is Xiazhou Zhechong Prefecture, which has four regiments under his command, each regiment of 200. It is said that Zuo Kuangzheng Zuo was unable to defend Youzhou as the Xuanzhou General Administration. After all, Zhang Shan'an had nearly 20,000 troops under his command, and the number was 25 times different.

However, Xuanzhou Zhechong Prefecture is also the hometown of Xuan paper. Although Xuanzhou is famous, it is a very poor place in history, and it is a typical seven mountains, two rivers and one branch of land. The people are very poor, so joining the army or business is their only way out. Under Zuo Niandang's leadership, Youzhou not only blocked Zhang Shan'an's first wave of attacks, but also resisted for more than a month, until Zuo Niandang's bloody letter of request for help arrives in Chang'an.

Looking at the city that had been guarding him for more than a month, Li Yuan pointed at the official in the lower head with a pale face and roared: "What are the hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of generals? Also, what is the food for your Ministry of War?"

Li Yuanji said aiyi: "Your Majesty, Du Fuwei, Minister of War, is still squatting in prison!"

Li Yuan's eyes were about to spit out of fire, and he rushed to the official of the Ministry of Justice beside him, "Why don't you release someone quickly!"

At this moment, King Li Shimin of Qin said: "Your Majesty, Du Fuwei planned to assassinate Yuan Cong's imperial guards first, and conspired to betray the court later, and failed His Majesty's grace and respect... Such a great and evil person should be abolished the three tribes to serve as a warning to others."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat has enacted an edict to confiscate the Prince of Wu's Mansion and arrest Du Fuwei's family and imprison him."

Li Jiancheng was at the top of the train, holding a tablet in his hand and staring at his feet motionlessly, like a wooden carving.

He was a little unbelievable that Li Shimin actually gave Du Fuwei a knife behind his back. Are you not the righteous karma?

"Didn't you ask for the same year and month to be born at the same time, but do you ask for the same day and day to die at the same time?"

Why has everything changed now?

Li Shimin was ecstatic. The finances of the Qin Palace had already bottomed out. In order to maintain the expenses of the Qin Palace, he had to take off Changsun Wugui's jewelry. Now that Li Shimin knew that Du Fuwei would die, he would never give this opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Du Fuwei got more gold, silver and treasures in Jianghuai, and he held a property worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in his hand. Li Shimin ate the three thousand Mo Dao armored soldiers under Du Fuwei's command. Li Shimin knew that Du Fuwei still had money in his hands, and there were a lot of them.

Now all this money has become Du Fuwei's original sin.

...

After receiving the order, Li Shimin immediately ordered the Qin Palace to command the army, led by Lei Yongji and Hou Junji, and rushed to the Wu Palace with everyone. Hou Junji and his soldiers carried out all the boxes and cages of fine and soft treasures.

Lei Yonglei ran to Li Shimin anxiously and said, "I didn't see Du Fuwei's wife and children, and his younger brother Du Fude, either!

Li Shimin threw a roll of silk on the ground in surprise and said, "Search carefully to see if there is any dark room or authenticity."

At this moment, Lei Yongji poked Li Yuanji and rushed toward the outside of the mansion.

Li Shimin turned around and found that Li Xiuning and Chen Ying were standing at the gate of the Wu Prince's Mansion.

Li Mulan's face turned pale.

Li Shimin wanted to come forward and talk.

Li Xiuning turned around and left.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's bad expression and hurriedly grabbed Li Xiuning's hand and said, "Sanniang, be careful, you are not alone!"

A lot of tears were accumulated in Li Xiuning's eyes, and she shook her head and said, "Chen Lang, do you think Du Fuwei will command Fu Gongyou to rebel in Chang'an?"

"No way!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly, "Unless his brain is full of feces!"

Chen Ying helped Li Xiuning up his shaky body and comforted him: "Sanniang, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

Li Xiuning murmured to himself: "Why, why did it look like this?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "You need to ask the prince for this question. He confiscated Du Fuwei's home. This is because he is not going to let Du Fuwei live. Go to the East Palace!"

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning boarded the carriage and headed towards the East Palace.

When Li Xiuning entered the East Palace, an eunuch came quickly with a tray. Li Xiuning shook her sleeve and directly swept the eunuch to the ground.

Looking at this scene, Chen Ying was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Xiuning would have such a violent side.

Wei Ting in the hall heard the sound of dishes shattering outside and was about to scold him, but when he saw Li Xiuning walking in with a look of evil look on his face, he immediately closed his mouth tactfully.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Xiuning and said with joy: "Sanniang, haven't you arrived tomorrow?"

Li Xiuning yelled angrily: "Everything is out!"

Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly and waved his hands at Wei Ting, Wei Zheng, and others.

Wei Zheng and others stood up and left one after another.

Chen Ying was about to go out, but Li Xiuning said: "Chen Lang, please stay!"
