Chapter 532 Li Family Father and Son
Snow is falling all over the sky and the earth is frozen. In the Hetao area, a large army is moving forward on the snow, rushing to Taiyuan County.
This army had at least 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers, and was strong and moved forward quickly. The flags were whistling in the north wind, and the word Li was floating on the head coach's flag.
"You report to General, you are about to arrive in Jinyang City ahead." A general of the geek came over to report.
"Okay, send the order to go on a rush and strive to enter the city before dusk, and each soldier can drink broth, and each soldier will receive three or two wine." Li Yuan was wearing iron armor and silver helmet, wearing a big red cloak, riding a green horse, holding a spear in his hand, majestic.
"Here!" The man turned around and sent a command in front of him.
At this time, 26-year-old Li Jiancheng and 16-7-year-old Li Shimin each rode their horses and chased them from behind.
"Father, how long will we have to go?"
"There are still thirty miles away. Although it is not far away, the road is blocked by heavy snow and the march is slow. We can all arrive before dusk. We can drink and eat meat quickly and then have a good sleep."
"Father, this transfer order was very sudden. I was transferred directly from Jiangzhou to Jinyang." Li Jiancheng asked.
Li Yuan thought, "The holy heart is unpredictable!"
Li Shimin was speechless, what a holy heart was unpredictable, and the official voice was too great. There was no outsider. Why should you be so careful when speaking? He interrupted: "It must be that Your Majesty was surrounded by the Turks, so he asked his father to come to Jinyang as soon as possible to guard the grass bandits and Turkic cavalry, and come to attack Caogu at the end of the year to disturb the country."
Li Yuan's face darkened and he shouted: "What nonsense? How can I talk nonsense behind my back?" He turned around and looked at the fact that there were indeed no military generals around. The supervisor approached, and then he felt relieved and glared at Li Er fiercely.
Li Jiancheng made a smooth move and said, "My father has shown his power in the past two months. He has defeated Mu Duaner's rebels at Longmen and has successively recruited more than 10,000 people. Half a month ago, we just defeated the thief Chai Baochang in Jiangzhou and reduced 20,000 people. Together, our army has grown stronger and nearly 50,000 people. This is a considerable force. In Shanxi and Hedong, only by guiding the army to Jinyang can there be enough food and grass support. Otherwise, the army will mutiny and turn against each other. It is estimated that the memorial written by my father will be adopted by the court and will be dispatched."
Li Yuan's face calmed down and he looked at his eldest son with appreciation. He felt that he was steady and mature, and had his own temperament. He was not as black-bellied as the second child, smooth-mouthed, had many tricks, did things in a bad way, liked to take risks, and was not steady enough.
"Your Majesty has already gone to Jiangdu, thousands of miles apart, how can you pass the memorial so quickly? In fact, this time, I used the relations between the North Korea and China and obtained the approval of the King of Yue who was left behind in Dongdu. He has auxiliary ministers around him, so he can decide some small matters, and use his father to move his feelings and reason. If so many soldiers and horses are not properly placed and there is not enough food and grass, they may turn around and give us a blow, or all of them will escape. At that time, our masters will suffer."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin nodded and finally understood the mystery.
"Father, the world is going to be in chaos right now. Jinyang is a Fengshui treasure land. Why don't we take it for ourselves?" Li Shimin said with a smile.
"Nothing nonsense, how can you say such a ruthless thing? We eat the king's fortune and share the worries for the king. At that time, we were thinking about serving the court. How could we have the idea of a traitor? If you talk nonsense again, you must punish your father strictly for not lending." Li Yuan snorted coldly, Yu Guang swept around and rode his horse away.
"Shimin, you are upsetting your father again."
"Hehe, I said this on purpose. Every time I see him being cautious and cautious, walking on thin ice, I always worry for him. The situation is so chaotic now that the Sui Dynasty is weak and the mountains are too far away. Now so many rebels are fighting against the court, just like the end of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. Our Li family has the prestige. Now that the troops are strong, we should seize Jinyang, and we will raise an army here to recruit heroes, scholars, and families from Hedong and Shanxi to join us, and do something big." Li Shimin disagreed, and still does his own way, is full of energy and blood, and has a lofty ambition.
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Second brother, what you think is simple. Although the court is dying now and is exhausted to suppress the rebels, after all, in name, it is still the common ruler in the world. There are many loyal people. Look at the rebels in various places, the people who cannot eat, or the people who are idle and robbed, the wealthy families are all waiting and watching. Now whoever shows up first may be cursed for the reputation of the traitor and be scolded, and become an excuse for various wealthy families to raise troops to attack you. In the end, they took advantage of the advantage and became famous. The first aristocratic clan who stood up to rise up and became the target of public opinion attack. My father saw this right, so he endured it."
"Come on, I'm afraid that my father is too accurate in his reputation, is afraid of his skills, misses his opportunity, and takes the lead in attacking. Although there is an adverse side, everything has two sides. If we start first, we can win over more talents, grab more resources, and gain the support of the people. Strength is the fundamental reason. When we defeat those teams that speak out, and even really dominate the last one, we can block the mouth of leisurely words. At worst, we can just tamper with historical books. Write whatever we want. It's okay to shape my father into a wise and virtuous lord, but the premise is that you have to win the end and become the final winner!" Li Shimin was full of spirit and a sharp look on his face.
Li Jiancheng sighed lightly. His second brother, who is growing up now, is completely different from his thinking. His ideas are often the opposite, he thinks strangely, makes good at using strange strategies, is more pragmatic, and can do whatever he wants.
"Second brother, you and I know our father's character. I'd better say less and don't irritate him on purpose. If you are punished with confinement, I won't plead for you."
When Li Shimin heard of the confinement, his face collapsed. He was really worried about being locked up in the house and would not be allowed to come out for a few days. He was really tormenting about his unruly and active personality.
"Brother, I really think like Na Luo Cheng, I will take a soldier out and suppress the riots alone. I will not rely on my ancestors to do some achievements. But my father always refuses to let me do it. We are too strict."
Li Jiancheng comforted him, "Dad is for our own good. After all, you and I have grown up with wealth and wealth. Although I have learned martial arts and some military tactics, I have never suffered any hardships. It is too dangerous to go out alone to go out to make a living. Now the chaos is in turmoil, it is still the main thing to be safe. Luo Cheng once learned Kung Fu from an expert, and you have also seen that he is wearing gun skills and martial arts. Now he is probably not inferior to Yuwen Chengdu. Don't compare with him."
Li Shimin sighed lightly, knowing that his kung fu only practiced dark energy, which was far inferior to those Shi Wansui, He Ruobi, Zhang Xutuo, Yu Yuluo and other powerful generals, murmured: "I don't know how my third brother Xuanba learned his skills in Ziyang Palace. He has been there for more than ten years, and when he goes down the mountain, he will definitely be able to compete with Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng."
