Chapter 676 The Tang Dynasty Regime

Li Yuan occupied the imperial city and set up his prime minister's mansion in the imperial city. The entire palace city was also guarded by him by his confidant soldiers, and Yang You became a puppet.

A few days later, under the operation of Li Yuan, the King of Dai Yang You sacrificed his throne and respected Yang Guang as the Supreme Emperor. This was to undermine Yang Guang, deposed the monarchy of Emperor Yang of Sui and cut off the reputation of the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui. Li Yuan was so disrespectful to Jiangdu. From then on, he used the emperor to command the princes and issued orders.

Due to the situation, Yang You had to issue an edict: The military and national affairs are not big or small, military officials are established, and the positions are not high or low, and the rewards and punishments are all returned to the prime minister's residence. Only sacrifices to heaven and earth are given to the emperor at all times.

It means that all major affairs in the court are under the control of Prime Minister Li Yuan, and only those who sacrifices are asked to report to him.

After Li Yuan was in charge of the imperial palace, all the Yuanmou ministers who followed him to fight in Taiyuan were able to increase their positions and give them generous rewards, and give them good houses in Daxing City.

At the same time, people were sent to count the list of old nobles and talented men and heroes in Daxing City, and the families of Minister Wu who followed Yang Guang to Jiangdu stayed in Daxing City so that he could win over and use it or take it as a hostage.

In this situation, let alone the newly promoted Wu Minister in the court, the Guanlong family members and the old nobles, even ordinary people, it can be seen that when a new dynasty is about to be born, Li Yuan will probably not be able to truly be called emperor soon.

Yuan Valve, Dou Valve, Pei Valve, Gao Valve, Changsun Valve, etc., some families, the main branches and the children of the side sects who are deeply rooted in Guanlong are attached to each other. Because they have no choice, whoever occupy Daxing City first will take over. This is a convenient place for the geographical advantage. If they want to protect their own power and interests, they must establish a good relationship with the actual controller of Daxing City.

Although there are some major families here, such as the descendants of Gao Yang and Changsun Chi, who have followed Luo Cheng in the northwest, their cousins ​​will also choose the Li family based on their own interests, and each has its own needs.

On this day, after Li Yuan held a court meeting, he left Pei Ji, Liu Jing, Li Shentong, Liu Hongji, Li Shimin, Dou Yi, Li Jiancheng, Dugu Huaien, Fang Xuanling and others to discuss military affairs.

"Everyone, the achievements of our Li family today are thanks to everyone's full help and suggestions, but at present, it is not easy to rest assured, but there are strong enemies on all sides looking around, unable to complacent, and thrive. The three major forces that make the most headache are the three major forces. First, the Liu Wuzhou forces who are attacking Taiyuan County in the north. According to the latest information, Song Jingang and tens of thousands of troops have almost reached the city of Jinyang. This is the place where our Li family rose and is also a fortress to compete with the Turks. We must never give up."

"In addition, Xue Ju of the Western Qin Dynasty captured Fufeng County, with 300,000 troops approaching Jingzhao County, and intends to attack Daxing City. The third force is Luo Cheng in the northwest, full of variables. This man is young and leads troops like a god. It is said that he has just pacified the Tubo invasion and won a great victory. Currently, he has eight counties in the northwest, with a vast territory and good governance of people's livelihood. If he insists on protecting the Sui Dynasty and comes to conquer, who can lead his troops to resist will be a headache."

Li Yuan finished three difficult questions in one breath, hoping that his confidant officials and generals would analyze and find a solution.

Pei Ji took the lead and said: "Reporting to the King of Tang, the three major forces, Song Jingang's attack on Jinyang is the most urgent, and they will make arrangements to resolve the siege of Jinyang as soon as possible. As for Western Qin and Luo Cheng, winter is coming, they should move troops in the beginning of next spring, so that we can reserve some time to think about countermeasures."

Li Xiaogong stood up and said, "The King of Tang, the last general is willing to lead his troops north and return to Jinyang."

This person is Li Yuan's nephew. He has loved military tactics since childhood. He was only 30 years old. He is also an excellent general who can lead troops to fight. However, the Li family has been suppressed in recent years. He was depressed and had no chance to show his ability to lead troops. Today, he is finally in the water.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "I am sure that you will be allowed to rush back on the same road and rescue the siege of Jinyang."

Seeing that his cousin had the opportunity to lead troops to fight, Li Shimin immediately said unwillingly: "Father, my son is willing to lead troops to fight against Xue Ju of the Western Qin Dynasty and take down Fufeng County."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and stared at his second son. He used to think that he was reckless and not steady enough, and was not reliable in anything he did. However, this time he divided the troops into 50,000 troops and crossed from Fengling to Luochuan. He was unstoppable and attacked the city of Daxing in less than two months, ensuring that the Li family's strategy was successfully implemented in advance, which was a success.

Through this training, Li Yuan discovered that his two sons still had the ability to lead troops, and he could learn from them without a command, using his heroic and brave spirit.

Li Yuan finally promised: "Well, I will appoint you as the Marshal of the Conquest of the West and divide you into 80,000 troops. This winter, you will be responsible for training, recruiting troops, preparing food and weapons. After the spring of the next year, if the Western Qin invades, you will take the army to resist."

At this time, Li Yuan would not hand over the military power to commanders of the foreign generals because he was worried about turning against the enemy and being forced to take over the palace. Whether it was Li Xiaogong, Li Shimin and others, they were all his Li family members and trusted them very much.

"How should the third force, Luo Cheng, prevent it?" Li Yuan asked the last question.

Liu Jing suggested: "King Tang, since Luo Cheng is still unwilling to rebel against Sui, he regards himself as a minister of the Sui Dynasty and is quelling the chaos. For example, we will praise him with the will of His Majesty the new Majesty, try his attitude, send lobbyists and lobby Luo Cheng for surrender. Once he can surrender, it will become a big sword. Xue Ju's Western Qin army will collapse and turn back to send him to fight against Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, and Xiao Xian, and there will be another great general."

Li Yuan sighed, "You said, I don't want to have Luo Cheng surrender, if you can get half of the country, the eight counties in the northwest and the six counties in Liaodong are all large territory. Any county can reach the area of ​​two or three counties in the Central Plains, and they are all strategic areas, which is very important. I am afraid that Luo Cheng will be full of wings and will not be willing to drive others!"

Everyone was silent and knew it well. If it were Luo Cheng, who had such territory and military strength, and was in his 26 or 27 years of age, could he be able to conquer the country by himself, and would he still rely on Li Tang?

Moreover, the situation in Daxing City is complicated at present, and Luo Cheng must also know that Yang You is just a puppet. If Li Yuan is compared to Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, then would Luo Cheng be Liu Bei, Sun Quan, or Lu Bu?

Of course, Li Yuan hoped that Luo Cheng would be like Zhao Zilong in Changshan, so that he could recognize him as his lord, and devote himself to expanding territory for him and becoming the Five Tiger General!

"The white horse and silver spear are all brave, so much like it! If you can submit to me, you will be awarded the general of the ever-win situation and give him a gold medal to avoid death. You will never suspect that this person is loyal and righteous for life. I hope it can be exchanged for his sincerity." Li Yuan said softly to himself, and anyone could see that Li Yuan attached great importance to Luo Cheng.
