"Young son Yang You wants to proclaim himself emperor!" Li Yuan, wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the throne, snorted heavily as he looked at the information in his hand. Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan, but he did not live a comfortable life for a few days because the situation in Taiyuan was really not good and he faced enemies on both sides. Thinking of Yang You, Li Yuan had an uncontrollable headache. Headache is a hereditary disease of the Li family. In the past, Li Yuan rarely suffered from the disease, often not once a year, but since Feng Yijun was placed in Yang You's hands. Li Yuan was frightened three times a day by Li Jing's pursuit. After he fainted after hearing the heavy losses of the army, Li Yuan's headache became more and more serious. When he thought of the acting king Yang You, he gritted his teeth and couldn't help having a headache. Now his Headaches are becoming more and more frequent. "Your Majesty, now all the Bashu counties in Guanzhong have turned to Daxing City. Daxing City suddenly has more than 30 counties and counties, and its strength has skyrocketed. The number of troops has reached 300,000. I am afraid that after Yang You becomes emperor, the internal orders will be stabilized. The army is attacking Taiyuan!" Pei Ji said with a grimace. If Yang Guang hadn't died suddenly, Yang You would have ordered his troops to retreat in order to stabilize the country. Then Yang You led an army of 100,000 to rescue Luoyang. After returning, he actively prepared for his ascension to the throne. This gave Li Yuan a chance to breathe. Otherwise Taiyuan would have been captured long ago. When Li Yuan heard that Daxing City was about to be attacked by a large army, he couldn't help but panic. He had personal experience with the powerful fighting power of Daxing soldiers. Yang You¡¯s three-axe Yingyang camp, crossbow formation, and Modao camp were tested on the Tang army and the results were remarkable. Until now, the soldiers of the Tang Army who had escaped were still awakened from nightmares from time to time. Li Yuan walked around anxiously, then suddenly turned around and said, "We can't sit still and wait for death." Pei Ji nodded, now they must find a way out, otherwise they will be dead. Pei Ji had an idea and said, "How about we ask Li Mi for help again." "Li Mi wants our army's horses, but now we only got three thousand horses from the Turks and we can't give them to Li Mi." Li Yuan shook his head. Pei Ji smiled slightly and said: "That was Li Mi's condition last time. This time, the 100,000 Daxing Army rescued Luoyang, and Li Mi's previous hard work was wiped out. Compared to Li Mi, who has already seen the strength of the Daxing Army, he should know. If it weren't for us, Contain the Daxing Army. The possibility of him breaking through Luoyang is slim. I believe Li Mi will not refuse to help us this time?" Li Yuan couldn't help but feel moved and said: "Okay, then I will contact Li Mi again." "In order to fight. Seize the strength of the Tang army. Li Yuan will not let go of any opportunity. Pei Ji nodded. He also said: "Once he takes the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will definitely want to send troops to pacify the world. If our Taiyuan is not defeated by Daxing City, I believe Li Gui of Hexi and Liang Shi of Shuofang County are also frightened now!" Li Yuan nodded. There will be no two days in the sky. , now Li Gui, Liang Shidu, and he have all proclaimed themselves emperor. Once Yang You proclaims himself emperor, he will first point the finger at them. Compared with Taiyuan, Liang Shidu and Li Gui are more frightened. " If we rely on our individual strength, no one is the opponent of Daxing City, but if the lord joins forces with Li Gui and Liang Shidu and agrees that once the Daxing army attacks us, we will advance and retreat together. I believe that self-protection will be no problem. "Pei Ji confidently said. "Okay! Pei Shangshu was indeed a talented person, so the matter of contacting Shuofang and Hexi was left to Pei Shangshu. "Li Yuan said with great joy. "Three fences and one pile, three heroes and one gang. Once the three parties are united, once one party is attacked, the other two parties will send troops at the same time. In this way, the Daxing Army will surrender to the rat, and their chance of victory will come. "I will definitely not Disregarding the emperor's trust. "Pei Ji said, he believed that neither Li Gui nor Master Liang would refuse this proposal. With the two pieces of good news, Li Yuan's headache eased slightly. He waved his hand and said, "These are all helpless actions. The most important thing is To enhance your own strength, how are you recruiting new soldiers? " Pei Ji looked troubled and said: "The number of new soldiers has reached 50,000, but the food, wages and weapons are already insufficient! "The Tang Army was defeated in Feng Yi County and lost countless elite soldiers. Although the recruits can forcefully strengthen the men, weapons and armor cannot be produced in a short period of time. Now several recruits of the Tang Army share one weapon, and armor is in short supply. This is How can soldiers go to the battlefield to fight? "Do we really have to bow to them? "Li Yuan growled, with a look of unwillingness on his face. Pei Ji sighed, of course he knew who those people Li Yuan was talking about. There has always been a behemoth in Taiyuan, and that was the Taiyuan Wang family. Whether it was Li Yuan or Liu Wuzhou who took over Taiyuan, they were all right. The Wang family is very respectful, because they know that without the support of the Taiyuan Wang family, no one's rule in Taiyuan will be stable. If they get the full support of the Taiyuan Wang family, they rely on the millennium of the Wang family's foundation.?, with huge connections and financial resources, Tang Jun's current predicament will definitely be solved in the shortest possible time. It¡¯s just that the Taiyuan Wang family is not so easy to take advantage of. I am afraid that Li Yuan will repay the Taiyuan Wang family¡¯s assistance a hundred times in the future. "The eldest prince has a close friendship with Wang Zhezhao, the legitimate son of the Wang family. If the eldest prince comes forward, he may be able to convince the Wang family." Pei Ji said. Since Li Yuan became emperor, the choice of crown prince has been swinging between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Li Jiancheng is the eldest son and has the most supporters. But now the main force of the Tang army is controlled by Li Shimin, who is fighting hard to attack Liu Wuzhou. Although Li Yuan is leaning towards Li Jiancheng, he knows that Li Shimin has always wanted to be the prince. In order not to irritate Li Shimin, Li Yuan temporarily shelved the candidate for the prince. Pei Ji has always been a supporter of Li Jiancheng. This proposal to let Li Jiancheng negotiate with the Wang family is just a strategy by Pei Ji to prompt Li Yuan to appoint Li Jiancheng as crown prince. If Li Jiancheng talks as the eldest prince, there will definitely be no results, but if Li Jiancheng talks as the prince, the future prince will be qualified to make deals with the Taiyuan Wang family. Li Yuan took a deep look at Pei Ji. He knew what Pei Ji meant. Wang Zhezhao, the legitimate son of the Wang family, was under Li Jiancheng's account. In contrast, the Wang family in Taiyuan was relatively inclined to make Li Jiancheng the crown prince. If you want to gain the support of the Wang family, I am afraid that appointing Li Jiancheng as crown prince will be a prerequisite. Thinking of this, Li Yuan followed the current and said: "Now that Li Tang has been established, the position of the crown prince should not be left unresolved. Jian is the eldest son, shrewd and decisive, so Li Jiancheng is specially named the crown prince. The second prince Li Shimin has worked hard for the country in the war and has made great contributions. He is specially named the King of Qin. The fourth prince Li The fifth prince Li Zhiyun of Yuanji became the king of Chu. "After Li Yuan made Li Jiancheng the prince, he sent several other sons to the throne one by one. Among them, Li Yuan's third son Li Xuanba has passed away and is not mentioned here. "Your Majesty is wise!" Pei Ji was overjoyed. A simple canonization ceremony was held in Taiyuan that day, and Li Jiancheng ascended to the position of crown prince with high spirits and became the crown prince of Li Tang. After the canonization ceremony, Li Jiancheng went directly to the palace of the Wang family in Taiyuan without having time to take off his court clothes. When the new crown prince came to the door, he was immediately given a grand reception by the Wang family of Taiyuan. The head of the Wang family and other important figures of the Wang family showed up one after another to ceremoniously welcome Li Jiancheng into the main hall. The two parties discussed secretly all night. At dawn, Li Jiancheng walked out of Wang's house with excitement. Subsequently, with the support of the Wang family, the supplies that the Tang army was in short supply were greatly supplemented in a short period of time, and the dilemma was resolved. Loufan County. Li Shimin led an army of 20,000 to besiege Loufan County. Since Liu Wuzhou attacked Taiyuan, the Tang army and Liu army have been at odds with each other, and they have developed a deep hatred. Since Li Shimin led the 500 Xuanjia Army to seize the commander-in-chief, it seemed as if overnight, he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and his military talent suddenly exploded. First, they recaptured Taiyuan, and despite the severe cold, they led their troops to attack Liu Wuzhou's lair. Under the leadership of Li Shimin, the Tang army defeated Liu Wuzhou and attacked Loufan County all the way to the city. In the Tang Army¡¯s camp, Li Yuan¡¯s special envoy was reading the imperial edict. "The second prince Li Shimin is specially appointed as the King of Qin, in charge of the three armies on the right" Li Shimin was out of his body, silent and in a daze. For that position, he had fought desperately, risking his own life to seize the command of the Daxing army, and led the defeated soldiers to defeat the strong Liu Wuzhou and recapture Taiyuan. In order to consolidate the results, he did not stop and pursued Liu Wuzhou all the way to Loufan. Under the county seat. Li Shimin was the first to support Li Yuan in raising troops. From the time he raised troops in Taiyuan to now, he has been fighting on the front line and made great contributions. In the end, he still failed to achieve his wish because he was not the eldest son. At this moment, Li Shimin deeply hated this evil eldest son inheritance system for the first time. (To be continued)
