Chapter 778 Wagang Intervenes
Li Shimin then returned to the Li Mansion, and when he came back to report his work, he wanted to visit his mother.
If someone can support him at home, he must be his mother, but it is only limited to having a good impression. He is still at a disadvantage under the rules of order of elders and young people.
Of course, it is mainly because he wants to go back to Penglai to work earlier, and staying in Taiyuan Prefecture is a waste of his time.
However, he still can't give up when it's time to fight for family affection. When he comes back, he takes Li Yuanba with him. In his mother's heart, this fourth brother is her favorite.
Although my brain is a little bad, my younger son will not be favored.
From this side, we can also see that Li Shimin is aware that his feelings for his brothers are sincere, and even Li Yuanba, who is not good at thinking, is still the case.
Although Li Yuan’s views cannot be changed, he can leave a good impression in the other person’s heart, kindness, and love between brothers.
He just needs to make all kinds of efforts.
It’s not the end that the winner is not decided, and there is an opportunity there.
Three days later, Li Shimin returned to Penglai City and did not stop training troops in winter.
The Li family has been actively preparing for war all winter, and many people don’t know that it is because there will be people doing things in winter.
Even the anti-kings were all braved on the mountain, and they were not active during the cold weather.
In the Luoyang Palace, the unknown generals recently collected news to Emperor Yang of Sui. Although Emperor Yang of Sui was still so unruly in the past year, he also gave the people of the Sui Kingdom a chance to recuperate.
At least there is no more forced taxes.
The hard days of the people are still the same as usual.
"Your Majesty, the secret spies have returned. The Duke of Tang has reached 500,000 troops and is still training in winter and plans to harvest a lot of food."
"Hold troops and respect themselves, what do they want to do, and who sells them food?"
"How many families are they?"
"Hmph, I know they won't calm down. How about the Northwest soldiers who are supporting Shanwang recently?"
"The northwest soldiers of Kuangshanwang currently have 200,000 troops and have already set up defenses in Chang'an."
If Emperor Yang of Sui hadn't been reluctant to leave Luoyang's waterways, he would have wanted to return to Chang'an directly. The key was that the waterways and food transportation was smooth and more convenient.
"By the way, how has Li Mi developed?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Li Mi's Wagang Village troops have grown to 200,000, and they are all elite soldiers and are growing very fast."
"Well, it's good over there. Since the Li family is so dishonest, let Li Mi solve them."
"yes."
Royal spies are not decorations, they know everything about what happens to all forces. The aristocratic family supports the development of the Li family and Emperor Yang of Sui knows that they can't do anything about them.
He is the emperor and is destined to be unable to do anything.
Emperor Yang of Sui was still a little guilty. Judging from the current situation, he really didn't have many soldiers and horses. Including the 200,000 soldiers and horses in the northwest, only 300,000 were only elite soldiers, at least most of them were elite.
But facing an enemy with hundreds of thousands of soldiers is also in a difficult situation.
He needs to think about how to break the deadlock, but this emperor is so willful and seems to have not put his mind into the right place.
Losing three cities has an impact on the royal taxes.
But it is not easy to regain the city.
After conquering Goryeo, he used up all his background. Now he can maintain the current situation but no one attacks.
But things will be carried out according to his wishes.
The Li family has already planned to take action, and the power he can use is very limited.
Li Mi has been very proud of Wagang Village this year. Not only did he have the troops, he also followed those who opposed the kings and became kings.
However, because he was born into the third Duke of the Li family for four generations, he did not follow the trend and called himself Duke of Wei.
He occupied 200,000 mercenaries in Wagang, and his subordinates were full of good players in the green forests of the rivers and lakes, and even had family-funded disciples.
It is said that it is a pride of the dust because not only has power, but also married several beautiful concubines to raise them in the village and lived an imperial life.
All the people in the world have no disgust with Li Mi's actions. They are all big and rude people, and some are also envious.
Li Mi paid a lot to incorporate Shan Xiongxin and others, and after a year of running-in, the brothers in the village were very united.
Life leisurely until the secret letter suddenly appears.
Li Mi read the news and knew it was time for him to take action.
"Come here, anxious for all the generals to come to Juyi Hall to discuss matters."
The style of Juyi Hall is actually the same as the layout of the court, but it still has the habit of bandits, and it is not the glorious palace of the Golden Luan.
"Duke Wei."
"Meet Duke Wei."
Everyone was very respectful, and Li Mi was very helpful and began to educate these people in standardized ideological education, so that they could pay attention to every meeting.
Li Mi is a versatile person with a civil and military talent, and is even more good at management. It is not easy to integrate his subordinates to this level in one year.
After all, what he has to face is the Green Forest General of the World, and these people are not given any of them casually.
Xu Maogong served as military advisor and had a better relationship with Li Mi, so he had a great say in the parody. He was presided over every meeting to show his importance to him.
"Duke Wei, at this time, I suddenly asked me to wait for it, is there something big happening?" Xu Maogong asked first.
He knew very well the tempers of Shan Xiongxin and others. Perhaps civil officials and military generals just didn't deal with them very well, especially Li Mi usually likes to act like civil officials. This behavior is really not very good for people in the Green Forest.
How smart is Xu Maogong? He always smooths out the situation and resolves various signs of intensifying conflicts.
"Yes, according to reliable information, the Li family in Taiyuan Prefecture is preparing for war. With the support of the aristocratic family, they are trying to gain the Sui Kingdom. Now that Wagang is getting richer, how can they give the Li family the opportunity? So it's time for us to take action."
Xu Maogong began to think that this matter was very important.
They gathered in Wagang for fame and fortune. The news that the Li family wanted to take the lead shocked everyone.
"The Li family has been recruiting troops with the support of the aristocratic family this year. It is said that there have been more than 300,000 troops. What should we do?"
Someone asked.
Li Mi didn't speak, and she was just like attending court at a meeting. What he had to do was to make decision makers, and his subordinates could see their thoughts when they communicated.
Their questions and discussions were not stopped, but they wanted them all to participate in the discussion.
The end of the year is approaching, and after the past, we wait for spring. They all know that if they want to participate, they must prepare early.
Just as they were discussing each other, they suddenly heard the guards at the door shouting: "Report, the letter from the Li family in Taiyuan has been sent."
“Send in.”
Li Mi got the letter, opened it and looked carefully, and handed it to Xu Maogong.
"The Li family wants to plot us all in."
Xu Maogong's words made everyone puzzled, and they wanted to know what was written in the letter.
Li Mi said the content.
"The Li family wants to invite Wagangzhai to participate in the conquest of Chang'an."
"Why did the Li family strong soldiers and horses ask someone to send new people to come? I definitely don't have a good intention and I absolutely cannot agree."
Before the discussion could be discussed, someone objected.
