Chapter 284: The Hope of the World

After Liu Wenjing returned from Li Yuan, he thought about it and went directly to Li Shimin's mansion.

After Li Yuan raised an army in Jinyang, Li Shimin was named Duke Duke Duke Huang, the commander-in-chief of the Right Army, and commanded the Right Army. In fact, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had not returned to Taiyuan at that time. In fact, Li Shimin was the presided over the training in Taiyuan City.

After Jinyang raised an army, Gao Deru, the governor of Xihe County, who was close to Taiyuan County, was unwilling to surrender Li Yuan. Li Shimin led his army to raid Xihe with lightning speed and attacked the city for five days. After capturing Gao Deru, Li Shimin beheaded several of his charges.

Li Shimin was very extraordinary when he was just starting out.

So when Liu Wenjing returned to Li Shimin's mansion, he saw Li Shimin talking to a young scholar. The two sides had a very happy conversation. There were two Turkic generals on the side, namely Shi Danai and Kang Shuoli. Liu Wenjing has always been good at observing people, believing that Li Yuan and Li Shimin are both people of the same posture as dragons and phoenixes and the light of heaven, while Li Shimin was better than his father, otherwise he would not have secretly defected to Li Yuan and his son to help him fight against the Sui Dynasty.

Li Shimin sat casually on the chair, majestic and friendly. The scholar in the lower house was wearing a white shirt. Although he was also an extremely outstanding hero, he was pale in comparison with Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin saw Liu Wenjing, he smiled and said, "Brother Xue, come and let me introduce you. This Liu Sima is the great military advisor of our Li Mansion and is also my close friend and my father."

The other party stood up and bowed to Liu Wenjing and said, "Hedong Xueshou, I have met Liu Sima, and I have long admired the name of Daqi."

Liu Wenjing couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it, and said, "Can she be the son of Doctor Xue, who is known as the eldest child of the Three Phoenixes in Hedong in the world?"

Xue Shou hurriedly said, "I don't want Liu Sima to remember his father. The words of Sanfeng are just the love of the villagers."

Liu Wenjing was not very moved after hearing this. He said, "Respecting his father's talent is so talented, why should he be humble? It's a pity..."

When Xue Shou heard this, his words were very calm and said, "The foolish lord killed his father. I have been intending to rebel against Sui for a long time. Now, the Duke of Tang has been in Jinyang, which is a shame for the world. I come to join Li Erlangjun's tent and are willing to run away."

Liu Wenjing smiled and said to Li Shimin: "With Nephew Xue coming to help, you can be said to be like a tiger with wings."

Now that Li Shimin saw that Liu Wenjing had something to say, he directly asked him to tell Xue Su that Li Yuan wanted to recruit Li Chongjiu as his son-in-law in front of Xue Su, in order to show his frankness to Xue Su, who had been newly aides.

Li Shimin frowned and said nothing. Liu Wenjing said, "Li Chongjiu is just angry at the moment. No matter how powerful he has, he will not be unaware of his disadvantages from a poor family."

Xue Shou bowed and said, "If Liu Sima can trust Xue, you can leave this matter to me."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Brother Xue, I can trust you, but for some reason, Brother Xue, you took the initiative to take charge of this matter?"

Xue Shou smiled and said, "It's just that we can accomplish things because of the situation. The world's trend lies with Mr. Tang, and anyone with discerning eyes can see it. Xue and Wen Yanbo and the Lu family of Fanyang have a relationship, so I think it's easy to say."

It turned out that Xue Shou's father, Xue Daoheng, had a good relationship with the Wen family in Taiyuan. He once talked to the three brothers of the Wen family. They were all talented as prime ministers.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a scholar wanted to enter the officialdom, he must first become a famous scholar. He said that you are the talent of the prime minister, but you may not necessarily become a talent of the prime minister. The most important thing is who said it? Xue Daoheng came from the Xue family in Hedong and was also a Sili doctor. The fourth rank of the dynasty was himself a famous scholar in the world. He could say this in person, which undoubtedly led to the three brothers of the Wen family's career and drove a ladder for one day. This is the power of sound theory.

For Wen Yanbo, Xue Daoheng was kind to support him, and the Lu family was even more easy to say. Xue Daoheng and Lu Sidao were both important officials of Northern Qi, and the two had a close personal relationship, so the Lu family also wanted to sell Xue to some face.

After hearing this, Li Shimin pondered and said, "Although I don't think this can be done, Li Chongjiu is my friend. I don't want to be an enemy of him. It's best to persuade him to turn back, so as not to say that our Li family will not give him mercy in the future."

Li Shimin's voice was loud and loud.

In the Zhuo County Governor's Mansion, on the second day after Li Chongjiu refused to be the governor of Youzhou, the three major geniuses of Zhuo County all came to Li Chongjiu's Mansion to visit.

This situation is really not small. Li Chongjiu sat in the main seat, and the one who was at the top of the guests was of course Lu Ziqian from the Lu family of Fanyang.

The second person sitting at his lower head was a man in his fifties who seemed to be a bit rich man. He always smiled and was Gao Xudao, the head of the Gao family of Yuyang.

Although the Gao clan in Yuyang seems not very famous at first glance, his clan branch is the Gao clan in Bohai, which is known to everyone in the world.

The Gao clan of Bohai was the founder of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Gao Yang and Gao Huan were all tied to this branch. Later, after the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, the Gao clan of Bohai was suppressed, but the descendants of Gao clan were already very prosperous in Hebei. Gao clan of the Sui Dynasty also came from the Gao clan of Bohai, so the court had to give him some favors to the Gao clan.

The third one is a man in his forties who seems to be quite thin. This person is Zhao Heran, the head of the Zhao family in Zhuo County.

The Zhao family of Zhuo County came from Zhao Guanghan, a famous minister of Emperor Xuan of Han. He has always been in Zhuo County and is a powerful local tyrant. Of course, the Zhao family of Zhuo County is the most famous. Two hundred years later, a stick was waiting for the body and hit 400 military provinces. Zhao Kuangyin, who was surnamed Zhao from Zhuo County, came from Zhao.

Although Zhao Kuangyin was born in the military Han Dynasty, his ancestors were not humble. His grandfather served as the governor of the three prefectures of Ji and Zhuo during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The three of them visited together, which was not a good thing. There were Wen Yanbo and Su Su next to Li Chongjiu.

Gao Xudao smiled and said, "Eunuch Li has mastered several counties at a young age, and he really dare not look down on his face."

Li Chongjiu bowed and said, "I dare not take it. I am a young man who knows you so much. I want to ask all the elders for advice."

When Zhao and Gao saw that Li Chongjiu was polite, they nodded and thought to themselves that this person was not a rough army as Luo Yi, and it seemed that he was indeed someone who could negotiate.

Lu Ziqian sneered and said, "I dare not be a good person. Li Envoy is very skilled at taking over a county in Zhuo County. Lu must look at him with admiration."

Li Chongjiu knew when he heard this. He secretly told Luo Yi about the Lu family's inclination to him. Later, he ordered Xu Wu to surrender to Luo Yi and killed Li Jing, allowing Luo Yi to take advantage of the situation to enter Ji County. In the end, Lu Ziqian was imprisoned by Li Chongjiu.

As expected, Jiang is still old. Although Li Chongjiu's plan can be fooled for a while, Lu Zixing thought about it and suddenly understood.

Li Chongjiu is also a veteran in negotiating. Lu Ziqian puts this matter here, not treating it as a loss. It is obvious that he wants to accept what conditions are.

Zhao Heran didn't speak, and kept sitting there with a calm smell. He asked, "Gao is not talented, how dare you ask about the aspirations of Li Envoy?"

Li Chongjiu pondered for a moment and said, "Personal ambitions cannot be separated from the changes in the world. Now the situation of the owner of the Nine Tripods has become inevitable. Reforming the old and the new is a cycle of humanity."

Gao Xudao pretended to be surprised and asked, "Does Envoy Li want to conquer the throne?"

Su Su said from the side: "Now my nephew is in the hands of the four counties and has defeated Goguryeo, Khitan, Gao Kaidao, Luo Yi, and strong soldiers and horses. If we say that we don't have the intention to win the championship now, we will definitely be cheating you."

After hearing what Su Su said, everyone was laughing, and the atmosphere in the venue eased.

The three of them looked at Su Suji and nodded, thinking that Li Chongjiu could succeed in Huaihuang Town, and both of them were outstanding people.

Li Chongjiu said, "Everyone, I do not have the ambition to compete for the world for the time being and advance to Zhuo County. But in order to protect the territory and safeguard the people and save the people, otherwise I would not refuse the governor of Youzhou. I will directly imitate Gao Kaidao, Liu Wuzhou and others, and directly proclaim him king and emperor."

Su Su echoed and said, "No matter whether we fight for the world or not, you are the leaders of the scholars in Zhuo County, so I hope you can help us. In any case, it is for the local people, and we also need to work together."

"How is Li's envoy compared to Li Yuan of Tang?" Lu Ziqian suddenly asked, and as soon as he said this, the court suddenly became quiet. Of course, the three gentry members present all believed that Li Chongjiu was much inferior to Li Yuan, not in terms of ability, but in the background.

Without waiting for Li Chongjiu to answer, Lu Ziqian said directly: "Duke Tang is a hero in the world and is in a desperate situation. He raised an army in Jinyang and would respond to Guanlong and conquer the world. Since the envoy has no ambition to be emperor, I think it is better to be harmonious with Duke Tang. I don't want to make a decision now. If Duke Tang can seize Guanzhong and the land of the three auxiliary assistants, what if Li Envoy Li announces support for the stability of Duke Tang? In this way, my Lu family can represent all the gentry of Zhuo County and support Li Envoy Li to be promoted to the governor of Youzhou. If Duke Tang does not seize Guanzhong, and if Duke Li wants to conquer the world, how can we support it together?"

OK, he was nakedly a lobbyist for Li Yuan. Of course, Li Chongjiu knew that Hedong ordered Lu Chisong to turn against Li Yuan and responded to the situation. The Lu family had already put all their belongings on Li Yuan and bet that he could seize the world. Of course, Hedong was too small, and it would be even better to add one Youzhou. In history, the Lu family relied on selling Luo Yi. In the end, there was a Tang Dynasty, with eight people as prime minister, maintaining their wealth for two hundred years.

When Li Chongjiu heard Li Yuan’s name, he sneered and said, “This is a bad word. Li Yuan is a very merciless person, how can he believe it?”

"Is it still Li Jun who is young and powerful?" Lu Ziqian asked with a narrowed eyes.

Li Chongjiu said, "Let me see how Mr. Pushan!"

"Li Mi!"

The three of them were surprised at the same time, but in surprise, they were also reflecting on Li Chongjiu's words. It is indeed better than Li Yuan, Li Mi is now one step ahead.

Li Mi has now captured the world, and the eyes and nose of the eastern capital Luoyang have lowered. Zhang Xutuo was killed in battle, Pei Renji surrendered, and Liu Rengong was defeated.

Emperor Yang of Sui originally hoped that Xue Shixiong led the troops of Zhuo County to the south and commanded the military power of Luoyang to fight against Li Mi. As a result, Xue Shixiong was also defeated by Dou Jiande halfway. Now Yang Guang could only lead the Jianghuai Army to the north, replace Xue Shixiong to command the army, and fight fiercely with Li Mi in Luoyang.

Wang Shichong was also a good general of the Sui army. He defeated Liu Yuanjin, Zhu Xie, Meng Rang and Ge Qian in a row, but he encountered Li Mi but lost consecutively.

Judging from the situation now, Li Mi is indeed the most likely to seize the world. (To be continued...)
