Chapter 3 Flashy Six A battle cut off the two most threatening heroes to the Tang Dynasty, and this result surprised everyone.
On the day the messenger arrived in Chang'an, Li Yuan had already dispersed the early dynasty.
Seeing the good news of Li Shimin's handwriting, he hurriedly ordered someone to leave the palace and invited the right servant Pei Lian, Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wen Yanbo, the waiter of the middle book, and Feng Lun, the inner historian, to his imperial study to discuss the next many matters.
After reading the good news, Li Yuan's four confidants and important ministers groaned for a long time.
It wasn't until Li Yuan couldn't help but urge that Feng Lun took the lead, bowed down to Li Yuan, and congratulated Datang on finally being able to dominate the world.
"It's still early.
There are still several counties in the south of the Yangtze River that have not yet been pacified, and Wang Shichong also has a lot of remnants in Henan to resist the city.
As for the Hebei side, there are even more troubles.
Dou Jiande has always won the hearts of the people, although he was captured by my Tang Dynasty in the first battle, it will take some trouble to successfully take over the counties of Hebei" Li Yuan was already happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained the calmness that an emperor should have, "I brought the four of you here, not to listen to any congratulatory words.
Those words will be kept for tomorrow morning, there are many people, and there are many tricks, and it will be more pleasant for me to listen to.
I hope that a few of you will come up with a charter as soon as possible, strike while the iron is hot, and keep the benefits of this battle."
"Your Majesty can win without forgetting the things of the world, it is really the blessing of the Tang Dynasty" Feng Lun's best skill is to pat himself on the back, and he arched his hand again, smiling and praising it.
"Go" Li Yuan scolded him with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, if you have any ideas, just say it quickly" "A minister's idea is not necessarily a good idea.
I can only make a remnant brick and see if I can bring out a piece of beautiful jade for His Majesty" Feng Lun looked at the other three colleagues and responded with a smile.
"Whether it's bricks or tiles, throw them out first and hide them in your stomach, you can't sell them for a few dollars" Li Yuan knew that Feng Lun was so virtuous, he shook his head lightly, smiled and joked in a low voice.
"That minister is a trick" Feng Lun thought about it and responded slowly.
"Actually, over there in the south of the Yangtze River, there is the king of Hejian, and there is no need for Your Majesty to work too hard.
The few remaining puppets who did not know the times were based in a small population and very poor property.
It will take time for the King of the River to destroy them."
"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Fang Cai's juxtaposition of Jiangnan and Hebei in his words is nothing more than a deliberate kind of modesty.
In fact, in his mind, he did not take seriously the secessionist forces in the south that had not yet surrendered.
Since ancient times, the population density in the north has been much higher than that in the south of the Yangtze River.
Although a large number of Central Plains clothes crossed to the south during the two Jin Dynasty, the scope of prosperity under its influence only expanded to Changsha.
Further south, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the woods are getting denser, miasma is rampant, and mosquitoes are rampant.
As a green forest den on the raiding side, it is okay, and if you want to achieve great things, it is not enough to rely on.
"Wang Shichong has the remnants under his command, and Your Majesty does not need to worry."
Feng Lun looked at Li Yuan's face and continued to analyze, "Wang Shichong is a descendant of Persian Hu merchants, and he has always only married people with interests, regardless of knowledge and conduct.
If something is good at the top, it will be effective at the bottom.
Based on this calculation, Wang Shichong's courtiers, I am afraid that the people who followed him at the beginning were also a flying Huang Tengda.
Now that he has become a prisoner, he can't give benefits to others, who is willing to be loyal to him, and the reason why he is unwilling to obey the mandate of heaven for a long time must be to wait for the price and sell."
"In Qing's opinion, the price offered by Shimin is not high enough" Li Yuan was amused by this novel statement, shook his head, and asked loudly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is talented, elegant, and his vision may be higher" Feng Lun thought about it and responded with a smile.
"Well, I'm afraid I didn't even leave a way for people to surrender, just blindly thinking about the son of Bending with force" Li Yuan laughed again, shaking his head while laughing.
"More than mighty, more than mighty.
You must know that fighting the world is not something that can be achieved by virtue of might alone."
"King Qin is a peerless general.
It's hard to find an opponent in the world," the right servant shot Pei Lin half a step forward, smiling and praising him.
"Qing also admires the martial arts of King Qin" It is rare to see Pei Lin speaking for Li Shimin, Li Yuan was stunned and asked with a smile.
"The minister never said that the King of Qin is not a general" Pei Lin nodded and responded with a smile.
Then he turned his gaze to Feng Lun, waiting for him to continue to share his worries for Li Yuan.
Throwing a grateful glance at the other party, Feng Lun continued: "Since Jiangnan and Henan are decided, the chaos in Hebei, Your Majesty has no need to bother others anymore. ordered the king of Qin to dispatch troops and horses to attack Hebei, and responded with Luo Yi and Li Zhongjian.
The three-way army echoes from north to south, how can the remnants of the Dou family's army be able to rise to the storm?"
He took refuge in the Tang Dynasty after the collapse of Yu Wenhua and others, and his qualifications and popularity are not as far as the other three.
I was interrupted by Pei Lin interjecting at the critical moment just now, and I thought that I would make a wedding dress for someone else today.

Unexpectedly, Pei Lin just helped him beat the side drum, and he didn't plan to steal his limelight at all.
So he shook his spirit and offered the best strategy he could think of.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, immediately objected loudly, "No, King Qin has been leading the army for several months, and he has not been rested.
Hebei's affairs, he shouldn't be tired."
"What do you mean by this, Lord Xiao" Feng Lun, who was on the rise, was a little dazed, turned around, and asked with a frown.
"Nothing.
I'm afraid that the King of Qin will be tired and hurt the relationship between His Majesty and his father and son," Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, smiled and replied indifferently.
"There will be no fighting.
A group of defeated generals, protecting the women of Tongzi Village, can still stump His Royal Highness King Qin" Feng Lun was extremely unconvinced, frowning and retorting.
Among Li Yuan's important ministers, he admired Pei Lin the most, the latter's roundness amazed him, and the latter's grace and generosity also made him unreachable.
But for Xiao Yu, who is more upright and less flexible, Feng Lun is not very convinced.
In his opinion, the other party can go to the core of Datang's power, but it only relies on the bloodline of Houliang.
In terms of real ability, it is much worse than Pei Lian, and even compared to himself, it is slightly insufficient.
"It's hard to say" Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, straightened up, and really didn't give people any face.
"Lord Feng only saw the brave side of King Qin, but he forgot what His Majesty said just now, His Royal Highness King Qin is more powerful than gentle."
That's just His Majesty's self-humility, you actually dare to take it seriously, Feng Lun shouted in his heart, but he didn't dare to say that.
After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice a little to justify, "The quick knife side has changed others, for Hebei Xiaoxiao, how can there be such a deterrent power as His Royal Highness King Qin?"
"I'm afraid that the knife will cut off the water, and the wildfire will burn the forest" Xiao Yu shrugged his shoulders slightly, disdainful of Feng Lun's statement.
"Dou Jiande is in Hebei, and he has always adopted the strategy of General Cheng Mingzhen.
Reclamation of fields, construction of canals and roads, poverty alleviation, and suppression of the powerful.
As His Majesty just said, the people of Hebei have always remembered their kindness.
Therefore, if you want to pacify Hebei as soon as possible, you need to send a person who is proficient in civil affairs and has a magnificent bearing.
And you shouldn't blindly use force, otherwise, it may backfire."
"Lord Xiao's words, it means that His Royal Highness King Qin is not proficient in civil affairs" Feng Lun finally caught a handle in the other party's words, and snorted and fought back.
"King Qin's strength lies in Wu Strategy."
Xiao Yu glanced at Pei Lian, and secretly scolded the other party in his heart.
If you don't want to explain something, you have to force yourself to be this wicked person.
"As for government affairs, it's still a little immature.
Moreover, King Qin has always had a reputation for protecting his shortcomings, and he has a group of fierce generals under him, all of whom are very arrogant.
If I go to Hebei, relying on my identity as a victor, I will inevitably do something out of the ordinary once in a while, and once the people are provoked, I am afraid that today's military exploits in Henan will be nullified."
"It hasn't happened yet, Lord Xiao is too alarmist" Feng Lun admired Xiao Yu's audacity and daringness, but it was difficult to agree with his opinion.
He smiled and pouted in retort.
"Please Your Majesty decide" Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, did not entangle with him, bowed to Li Yuan, and said loudly.
Hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Yes, King Qin has worked hard, and it is indeed time to rest for a few days."
But on my side, I really can't send more suitable people for a while.
The crown prince is the right choice, but for now I need him to go to Longyou.
Anyone else?"
"Actually, there is no need for the prince to personally intervene in this matter" Wen Yanbo, a Chinese scholar who had not participated in the discussion, thought about it and interjected in a low voice.
"Oh," Li Yuan turned his head curiously.
Wen Yanbo's temperament is the same as that of his brother Wen Daya, who is cautious in words and quick in action.
I don't know where the sun came out today, but he actually took the initiative to intervene.
"Li Yi, the former lord of the minister," Wen Yanbo arched his hand to Li Yuan to apologize, "Actually, he is not a suitable candidate."
Even if the King of Qin goes north, Yandi Huben still doesn't move lightly, because the northern Goguryeo has ill intentions, and secondly, the King of Youzhou is not a person who cares for the people. ” "Luo Manzi was born in the army.
I can't wait to use the military to rule the people.
I know this," Li Yuan smiled and echoed in a low voice.

"If I send him south, I am afraid that everywhere he passes, he will be swept away by his tiger like a locust."
Listening to Li Yuan's funny words, Pei Lin and the others all laughed.
After laughing, the atmosphere in the study was immediately not as tense as Fang Cai.
Wen Yanbo thought for a moment and continued: "Actually, King Boling is the best choice.
It's a pity that his fief is big enough.
Recently, it has been using troops to the north, and it is estimated that it will not be able to free up its hands.
For the rest, the minister thought that if he wanted to stabilize Hebei, it was better to send people from Hebei to familiarize himself with the local customs and customs, and secondly, to talk to the rest of Dou Jiande. ” Li Zhongjian, the king of Boling, is a distant nephew picked up by Li Yuanbai, although he did not contribute much when he fought the world in the Tang Dynasty, but because of his prestige, he also added a lot of advantages to the Li family.
Over the years, he has been the most powerful ally of the Li family.
However, now that the Li family is about to dominate the world, the relationship between the two sides must be reconsidered, and it is very exquisite.
Therefore, Li Yuan would not release this tiger again until he had no choice but to do so.
It is estimated that King Boling also knew Li Yuan's thoughts, and he had been using troops to the north in the name of chasing and killing the Turks before the foundation of the Li family was stable.
For several years in a row, it is said that the sphere of influence has reached the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River, swallowing the land of the Murowei people and the Yan people.
Wen Yanbo took the opportunity to mention King Boling today, and he had to admonish him with twisted words, reminding Li Yuan to pay more attention.
Then Li Yuan was also quite scratching his head at his nephew who had picked it up.
He had the intention of recruiting him into the high-ranking official of the Beijing Division, and Houlu was raised in captivity like he did with Du Fuwei, but he was afraid that he would add a big mess because of the evil of Boling's elite.
If we continue to let it go, I am afraid that it will be difficult to solve the problem in the future.
After thinking about it, he sighed, waved his hand and said, "Today, let's talk about the attack on Hebei first, and don't mention anything else."
My virtuous nephew has always known how to advance and retreat, and I guess he won't embarrass me as an uncle.
Moreover, the territory over the large and small rivers was not under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains.
Rather than letting Mu Wei and Yan Ya spoil him, it is better to cheapen him.
After all, he is also the nephew of the Li family, so he is not an external trouble. ” "Your Majesty is right," Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, nodded, and echoed with a smile, "Both the Yan and the Murwei are vassals of the Turks, and if King Boling can subdue them, it can be regarded as cutting off the Turkic wings for the Tang Dynasty."
There's nothing wrong with that.
Since I, Datang, want all nations to come to the court, I can't even have this bit of open-mindedness."
"Yes," Li Yuan sighed, then nodded slightly, "It is estimated that as long as I reign for one day, King Boling will not have any dissenting intentions."
If my descendants can't even restrain the vassal kings in a corner of the Central Plains with the huge Central Plains, they can only blame themselves for not being productive, and they can't complain that I have revealed this matter.
"Wen Zhongshu is not messing around" Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, smiled and relieved Wen Yanbo's siege, "The minister thinks, what Wen Zhongshu just said is that the Hebei people are attacking Hebei.
Right?"
"What Lord Xiao said is very clumsy, so the words don't make sense" Wen Yanbo thanked Xiao Yu, and then laughed at himself.
Hearing this, a person's name immediately flashed in front of Li Yuan's eyes, "According to what you say, I really think of a candidate."
Cheng Mingzhen has made a lot of achievements recently.
He, the governor of Zhaozhou, has been fighting outside, in name only.
I will be a favor and let him return to his hometown, you think it's good."
"General Cheng is indeed suitable for stabilizing the place, but his prestige and official position are too low.
I'm afraid it's difficult to reassure the rest of Dou Jiande" Although he appreciated Cheng Mingzhen's talent, Pei Lin still spoke out to stop him.
"The minister also thinks that the governor of Zhaozhou is a little insufficient," Feng Lun was unwilling to live in people, and hurriedly took the opportunity to say, "But Your Majesty also thought that he would be transferred to Beijing to ask if there was any specific good strategy to stabilize Hebei, anyway, His Majesty the King of Qin had just captured Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and he still needed to sit in Luoyang for some days."
When the counties of Henan settle down, it is not too late for His Majesty to issue an order to discuss with the King of Qin the candidates for sweeping Hebei, otherwise, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has defeated Dou Jiande after a hard battle, if His Majesty sends others to clean up Hebei, I am afraid that it will confuse the generals of the Qin Palace."
"Hmm" Li Yuan frowned and muttered in a low voice.
Although Feng Lun has been looking forward to Li Shimin today, his words do have some truth.
Some time ago, because of his vigorous support, he had already made the people of the world and the generals under his command indignant.
If I send someone else to pick peaches, I am afraid that the estrangement between father and son will be deepened.
Thinking of this layer, he decided to put the candidates of Dangping Hebei alone.
Let's deal with the aftermath of Henan first.
"I've always heard Xuan Zhen mention Cheng Mingzhen, but I haven't seen him yet.
Later, when I was a child, I will prepare the purpose.
Transfer him to the capital face saint.

He has been working under Dou Jiande, and he must be very familiar with the situation in Hebei.
I will talk to him first, and after I have a bottom of the specific situation in Hebei, I will decide on the candidate to attack Hebei. ” Now that Li Yuan has decided to postpone the matter, it is not good for a few courtiers to be long-winded.
He bowed his hand, indicating that he accepted the arrangement.
Just looking at everyone's expressions, Li Yuan guessed that some people were not very satisfied with this arrangement.
He smiled wryly and continued, "The people of the world always give me unexpected surprises when they do things. first sought to level the Xue clan in Longxi, and this time he fought hard to capture two heroes.
I must reward him well this time, and you say how to reward him.
By the way, there are also Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin and others, who are worthy of being famous generals in Wagang back then.
The people of the world have won them, and they have been strengthened like a tiger."
"For the general's life, all he wants is the fame and wealth of himself and his family, the king of Qin has nothing to be sealed, and it is appropriate to shade his son" Pei Lin smiled and responded first.
"Qin, Cheng, Luo, Hou, and Wei Chi are peerless generals, and they should be given the position of governor.
Each leader the army and go out to shepherd the Quartet for the Son of Heaven" "Master Pei's cloud is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, and the minister seconded it" Xiao Yu frowned, and immediately responded.
Wen Yanbo hesitated, knowing that in this way, King Qin's subordinates seemed to be beautiful, but the strength of King Qin's Mansion would inevitably be thinned, but in line with the principle of taking into account the overall situation, he also bowed down to respond.
Li Yuan nodded lightly, and he understood very well why Pei Lin suggested this.
But before the world is calm, he doesn't want to talk about the treasure knife hidden and let it rust, "You Aiqing has a point.
Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin and others made great contributions, but the officials were under Wang Junkuo, and they were really wronged.
In this way, give them the title of chief first, and where they will be sent to sit in the town, and we will discuss it later.
For the time being, he is still obeying orders under the tent of King Qin, so that there is a need for emergencies. ” "Then there are too many stewards under King Qin's account," Xiao Yu thought for a while and reminded in a low voice.
"In the past, there was a great general king in the Great Sui, and the Hus were tied one after another.
Today, I Datang, how can I not set up the same position" Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand very confidently, "Set up the Tiance General's Mansion and control your governors."
On the prince's side, ten rates were added to the East Palace, and each rate led the three mansions.
Defend Gyeonggi for me" "Other meritorious personnel, refer to the merit book sent by the people, and you can look at the arrangement.
In short, don't chill people's hearts.
By the way, Shimin focused on promoting Cheng Mingzhen this time, saying that when Shan Xiongxin attacked, he had sacrificed his life to save this person, and he couldn't help but return it.
Pei Qing will see what benefits I can give him besides letting him go back to Zhaozhou to settle down."
With Cheng Mingzhen's position at the time, seeing Shan Xiongxin kill and only care about his own escape, it was really a lifeless act.
He was just doing his duty as a courtier at that time, and he didn't need Li Yuan's gratitude at all.
But Li Yuan turned the topic here in public, naturally signaling that the discussion just now could be ended for the time being, and everyone should not beak here.
Although Pei Lin was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan's way of delaying contradictions and blindly diluting the mud, he didn't want to intervene too much, so he had to smile and say according to the other party's meaning: "General Cheng's greatest wish is probably to clear his father's name."
"Although people can't find it, I can still give it reputation.
The case of General He Ruo back then was originally an unjust case.
Shi Wen, you will draw up the will for me again and praise General Cheng's loyalty and righteousness.
By the way, the charges of General He Ruo have been cleared up, so as to set the record straight" Correcting the mistakes of the previous dynasty is nothing more than a gesture of effort, which will not offend anyone, and will not have to pay any price.
So Xiao Yu and the others were happy to do it, and agreed with a smile.
"Raise his rank to a higher rank, although he is your protégé, you don't have to be so suspicious.
Otherwise, it will make people say that I am Datang occluded" Li Yuan turned his head to Pei Lin and continued.
Cheng Mingzhen was single-handedly pulled into the Tang camp by Pei Lin back then, so he can be regarded as Pei Lone's descendant.
Li Yuan repeatedly showed favor to him today, obviously showing appeasement to Pei Lian.
After all, they only took the risk of offending the King of Qin, and wholeheartedly considered the stability of the Tang Dynasty.
He may not listen to his advice, but he shall not be coldly faithful.
"General Cheng is already a county marquis, and if he is promoted again, he will have to be crowned a prince."
Pei Lin smiled, shook his head and said.
"In this way, it is too easy for me to be the county magistrate of Datang.
He is more nostalgic, and King Qin has captured many Hebei generals this time.
The minister estimated that General Cheng would have to go to His Royal Highness the King of Qin at this time to ask for favors for the sake of the deceased.
His Majesty, instead of rewarding him lavishly, might as well give the King of Qin a holy decree, ordering him to pick up those who have not committed obvious crimes among the captives and deal with them leniently.

On the one hand, it can make Cheng Mingzhen grateful, and on the other hand, it can also let the rest of the Dou family's army see that my Datang is tolerant. ” "The county duke is the county duke, isn't the life of the King of Qin worth a county duke" Li Yuan smiled again and waved his hand, "As for the leniency of the prisoners, I can't force it."
You send a letter to King Qin privately and give him some advice."
"As Your Majesty wishes" Pei Lin thought for a while and gave up his hand.
"Henan, Hebei" discussed with the four important ministers to deal with some imminent important matters, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, gasped and said, "When I was suppressing bandits in Hedong that day, I never thought that there would be today.
The world is about to restore peace, and this is all the credit of the Qing and the soldiers in front.
If after the four seas are unified, you and I can do what the Great Sui has not done, then you and I will be worthy of this life."
"Your Majesty is referring to Liaodong" Feng Lun saw the opportunity quickly and quickly understood what Li Yuan meant.
"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly.
"I watched 300,000 troops die there.
Although it was not because of my fault, the revenge of the soldiers, I will have to get it back for them sooner or later."
As he spoke, his gaze slowly became sharp.
It is not because the people's hearts are not satisfied, but because they are not satisfied, but as a general who witnessed the bloody battle in Liaodong, he made a promise in his heart.
Li Yuan never dared to forget this promise
