Chapter 131 Li Yuan's Mysterious Operation
Chapter 131 Li Yuan's Mysterious Operation
During this sleep, Sect Leader Xi slept for three days and three nights without eating or drinking and still did not wake up.
Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were so sleepy that they knelt at the gate of the wounded camp and dared not get up. Yuchi Jingde held his head with one arm and said, "Don't make a fuss. The doctor said that the sect leader is too tired. Let the sect leader have a good sleep."
.
The leader suddenly fell down, and the border town soldiers almost went crazy. The leader fought all the way from Gaocheng to Wuyuan without a break.
The soldiers mistakenly thought that Bi Xuan had taken advantage of the leader's fatigue to seriously injure him, so they picked up their weapons and rushed towards the Turkic Khanate.
It was suppressed by Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde.
The grassland is vast, and the Central Plains is still in civil strife, so the border troops should not get involved in a protracted war.
The Turkic Khanate can move at any time, so what are we chasing?
Even though Li Jing had great prestige in the army, he almost failed to suppress the unrest in the army.
Until the military doctor shouted: "Don't make noise, the leader is too tired and fell asleep."
This finally suppressed the clamoring soldiers.
.
Even so, Li Jing remained ruthless and threw the sect leader into the wounded camp to be cared for by a military doctor.
The only special thing is that it has a separate military tent.
This is special because the clan leader is a woman, and the only woman suspected to be injured in this battle.
Therefore, Sect Leader Xi was able to contract the entire female wounded soldiers' camp.
.
Yuchi Jingde knew very well that if the clan leader woke up, he would only praise Li Jing for this action.
The leader hates being treated specially.
When fighting outside, the clan leader always said that she didn't know how to lead the troops, so she could only adopt the dumbest method and share the hardships with the soldiers.
If Li Jing had not thrown the leader into the wounded camp, the first thing the Xi leader would have done after waking up would have been to thoroughly investigate the auxiliary soldiers and medical soldiers - whether the food and wages had not been paid in full, whether the first aid training had not been carried out properly.
Yuchi Jingde knew it all.
But that didn't stop him from staring at Li Jing with murderous eyes for three days in a row.
It should be said that Li Jing was not crippled by being put in a sack and beaten to death for the time being. On the one hand, he should thank his powerful martial arts that had been enhanced by the sect leader, and on the other hand, he should thank the military doctor for guaranteeing with his death that the sect leader was really just sleeping.
This is because Li Jing's post as the commander-in-chief of the army was not removed, otherwise Yuchi Jingde would have already started a fight.
As long as the leader is still asleep, the border troops will be uneasy.
.
While the Border Town Army was worried about their leader and had no intention of celebrating, the whole world was in an uproar.
Li Yuan was quite panicked.
Originally, Li Yuan was full of confidence for the successive victories of the Li Tang Dynasty.
The news came that the border town army had wiped out five to six tenths of the Turkic cavalry; combined with the repeated whispers from the concubines in the harem, they reported that Li Shimin, who had returned victoriously, had harassed them many times and looked down on them.
But Li Shimin still recognized Xi Zongzhu as his master... Li Yuan???
Are you trying to force your father to abdicate?
This is not finished.
An unprecedented quarrel broke out between Li Yuan and his son Li Shimin.
Emperor Li Yuan did not do a good job, and he had a bad temper. In a rage, Li Shimin was dismissed by the emperor's father and confined to the Qin Palace.
Officials of the Tian Ce Palace, including Fang Xuanling, Du Keming, Zhangsun Wuji, Luo Shixin and others, as well as generals who had just defected to Li Shimin, such as Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Shubao, were all driven away from Li Shimin.
That’s right, Li Shimin defeated Wang Shichong two years earlier than the historical line.
Because no one dared to provoke the Xi clan leader in the northern border, the Li Tang Dynasty was unable to gain any success in the north and was forced to turn its attention to the southeast.
.
Let’s go back to June of this year. At that time, Wang Shichong was at war with Li Mi; Li Tang was mobilizing troops to attack Longxi Road.
The results achieved by both sides are consistent with the historical line.
In the former, Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, Li Mi surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Wagang Army withdrew from the stage of history;
The latter caused the loss of 50% to 60% of Li Tang's army. Perhaps in order to avoid Li Yuan's further intervention in military affairs, Li Shimin established the Tiance General's Mansion in advance.
In July, Western Qin was defeated by the leader of the Xi clan. Then the Eastern Turkic army approached the border, and the border town army fought a desperate battle with Shi Bi.
At the same time, Li Shimin asked for orders to attack Wang Shichong.
As Li Jing's army rushed towards the grassland, Li Shimin led his army to the peak of his life and successively conquered Wang Shichong in Luoyang and Zhu Can in western Hubei.
.
If attacking Wang Shichong was a waste of Li Shimin's energy, then attacking Zhu Can was easier and faster than Li Shimin had imagined.
In this life, Dou Jiande formed an alliance with the leader of the Xi clan, and did not rush to help Wang Shichong out of fear of being in danger if his teeth were to be destroyed. The Luoyang army defeated Li Shimin's Black Armor Army faster than in history.
Li Shimin continued to move south.
Zhu Can, who claimed to be the Emperor of Chu, led his troops to fight and plunder in Jingzhou and Mianyang since July. Wherever Zhu Can's troops passed, there was no one living there.
Whenever Zhu Can's troops arrived at a county, if they did not eat up all the local food, they would burn it all before moving on. Their failure to pay attention to farming seasons led to great famine, with corpses of the starved people piling up like mountains, and even cannibalism.
Zhu Can was not ashamed but proud of causing such a tragedy in the world.
This man even said something inhuman to his soldiers: "What better food is better than human flesh? As long as there are people in other countries, what do I have to worry about?"
This sentence translates to mean that there is no food more delicious than human flesh. As long as there are people in other towns, why worry about starving!
Zhu Can's purely beastly behavior was also reflected in his collection of women and children as military rations.
Not everyone is as inhumane as Zhu Can.
When Li Shimin attacked, local powerful people responded one after another, and the Tang army captured Zhu Can.
Li Shimin followed the example of the Xi leader and set up a platform by the Han River to hold a public trial. Before it officially began, local people rushed to throw tiles and stones at Zhu Can and his subordinates. They were soon crushed to death, and in a moment the tiles and stones piled up like a grave.
.
Li Shimin was very powerful as he conquered such a large territory in one go and expanded his sphere of influence to border Xiao Xin of Baling in the south and Du Fuwei of Jianghuai Army in the east.
You have to know that it was only three months since he defeated Western Qin in early July.
You should be full of energy, right?
As a result, when I returned to Chang'an...
.
Liu Wenjing was unable to attract Turkic reinforcements when he started his rebellion in his lifetime, and was killed one year earlier than historically.
Because of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Asamizuhara.
You read that right. Although they made the same mistake on the surface, Yin Kaishan, who was from the Yin family of Chen County, was temporarily dismissed from office and quickly reinstated, so he was unscathed; while Liu Wenjing, his entrepreneurial partner who came from a humble family, was killed when Li Shimin was fighting outside!
Li Shimin's military counselor Du Keming had just made great contributions, but when he returned to Chang'an, he was beaten half to death by Yin Zuwen, the father of Li Yuan's concubine, and the scholar's fingers were broken.
Not only did Li Yuan not take any action, he opposed and blamed Li Shimin a lot.
Li Shentong, Li Yuan's cousin who once gathered thousands of people to support Li Yuan's uprising, and Li Shentong, King of Huai'an who followed Li Shimin in the war, had their rewards for their military exploits snatched away by Li Yuan's concubines.
All of these are different.
.
Everything happened at a dizzying pace.
If we remove the great military achievements made by Li Shimin, it seems that the Li Tang Dynasty has not yet been truly founded and is already heading towards national destruction.
Now the only bright spot of Li Tang was that he was dismissed from office and placed under house arrest by Li Yuan.
