After Wang Gui became effective, his life trajectory also changed from history.

In history, after serving as the Minister of Rites of Li Tang and the Crown Prince Zhan, Li Gang recommended Wang Gui to Prince Li Jiancheng. As a consultant to join the army, the two became members of the tài son dǎng. Wang Gui became an official in Li Tang.

On that day, Li Chongjiu and Su Su had a great chat with the gentry of Taiyuan County. After the night banquet in Jinyang Palace, Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan came together to congratulate Li Chongjiu on receiving Wang Gui.

During the meal, Li Chongjiu talked to them about Wang Gui's words.

Wen Yanbo said, "Duke Wei attacked Luoyang, and the outcome is unknown. If the winner is the one who wins, Duke Wei can make progress in the world. If the loser, our army will abandon it immediately, for fear that others will tell us that we will run away when we see difficulties. However, if this matter is not urgent, we can put it aside for the time being. However, Wang Gui's words meant to persuade him to advance. I wonder what the Shanggu Gong was thinking?"

Li Chongjiu frowned and said, "I just called myself the governor of Youzhou, this matter is too fast."

Ji Chuan said: "Duke Shanggu, my official position agrees with the words of Changshi Wen, as the saying is true. For example, when the king was defeated, and the heirs and others were occupied by only one county, and his subordinates roared over 100,000 refugees, and they dared to be the king and the emperor. That was overestimating their ability. But now my Youzhou has taken Bingzhou. As Wang Gui said, Taiyuan is the land of the king's core, and it cannot be defended by the Lord of Heaven. If he still calls himself the governor of Youzhou, I am afraid that the Taiyuan gentry thinks that the Duke Shanggu is not only ambition to guard one side, but not ambition to the world."

Li Chongjiu frowned. It seemed that this matter was not easy to handle. He and Dou Jiande submitted a letter to persuade Li Mi to be king, but Li Mi Dong had not decided the reason and did not agree. If he was king now, he would not have jumped above Li Mi.

However, there are precedents in this matter. For example, Dou Jiande, who was like Li Chongjiu, praised Li Mi while calling himself the King of Changle. No wonder Li Mi summoned Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande refused on the ground that Li Chongjiu was still alive in the north and did not dare to go south to meet easily.

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "Donald Shanggu, if you are not in a hurry to become king, but if you have something to do now, is it interesting?"

"What's the matter?"

Wen Yanbo said, "The last time our army conquered Shangdang County, when we passed by Shi Ai, did not anyone claim to be the uncle of Shangu Gong and came to recognize his relatives?"

Li Chongjiu suddenly remembered it and smiled, "But there is this, I almost forgot about it."

Wen Yanbo said, "I have checked it. This person is indeed from the Li family of Zhongshan. You must know that Li Qi, the ancestor of Li family of Zhongshan, and Li Mu, the ancestor of Li family of Zhao County, are brothers. When Qin destroyed Zhao, Zhao Lord attacked the counter-espionage plan, killed the good general Li Mu, and destroyed the Great Wall. The people of Zhao secretly hated him."

"If Mr. Shanggu was willing to inherit the Li family in Zhongshan, he could restore Zhao State in the name of Li Mu. After all, the two counties of Taiyuan and Loufan are the places of Zhongshan and Zhao State back then. I would like to say that, please Mr. Shanggu State to consider it."

After hearing Wen Yanbo's long speech, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Such a complicated relationship was actually drawn by him.

Wen Yanbo was also very tactfully and just said it was a suggestion. After all, whether to recognize the clan depends on Li Chongjiu's meaning. However, Li Chongjiu considered that after all, he was born into a bandit and had no idea of ​​his true origins, so he also needed to ask Li Hu what he meant.

However, in this era, it is popular that everyone sticks gold on their faces. Liu Bang, the head of Sishui Pavilion, was the descendant of the Wei State doctor Liu Qing. Yang Jian traced it back, and was the descendant of Yang Zhen, the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Li Yuan called himself the Emperor of Xiliang Li Yang. In fact, whether the three ancestors were really like this is still to be discussed.

Li Chongjiu decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

Ji Chuan immediately reported to Li Chongjiu: "This time our army captured Jinyang and the city was captured, many families of Li Tang's ministers and generals were trapped in the city. How should these people be dealt with? Please give me instructions."

After the city of Jinyang was broken, Li Chongjiu captured Li Sixing, the escort of the Qi Palace, and Cao Wushiyi, the family of the Qi Palace. In addition to them, when Li Yuan raised his troops from Jinyang, many families of meritorious ministers stayed in Jinyang. How to deal with these people is a difficult problem.

Ji Chuan said, "Donald Shanggu, we can detain these people as hostages, write letters to Chang'an, and force their relatives to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. I wonder what if I think?"

Wen Yanbo said seriously: "This is a violent act. Now that our army has just captured Taiyuan, people have not yet attached themselves to it. If this act is done, it will be unanimously condemned by the people of Taiyuan."

Ji Chuan said, "Those who succeed are not particular about the details, I think it's OK."

Li Chongjiu said, "As far as I know, since Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he has moved many important officials and relatives to Chang'an."

Wen Yanbo said, "That's right, Chang'an is prosperous, so everyone yearns for it. Moreover, keeping important officials and relatives in Chang'an can prevent it from changing."

Li Chongjiu said, "Since we are not here, we can threaten people, but only some irrelevant people. Instead of destroying the reputation of our army, it is better to let them go. Family lovers and relationships are the most precious things for people. How can we use this to threaten them to achieve their goals? Anyway, these people stay in Jinyang is not good for me. It is better to let them return to Chang'an to show our army's reputation of being kind."

Wen Yanbo bowed his hand and said, "Young Gu Gong is a truly kind person."

After the agreement, Wen Yanbo immediately put a list in Jinyang. Except for the prisoners in custody, the rest of the Li Tang family members could be left to their own. Those who were willing to live in Taiyuan lived here and would never pursue them from then on. Those who were willing to go to Chang'an to find their relatives would go.

As soon as the news came out, the Taiyuan gentry and people were all relieved and applauded.

Compared to the fact that when he first entered Youzhou, he was unanimously treated by the gentry of Youzhou. The Taiyuan gentry, no matter the gentry, all the people regard Li Chongji as their own, and there is also a relationship between the village.

Of course, there are still many gentry regarding Li Chongjiu as a nouveau riche who has risen from grassroots. However, when he first occupied Youzhou, Li Chongjiu is now in full bloom, and there are not many gentry who hold this view.

After all, the Taiyuan gentry has been suppressed by the court after the rebellion of King Yang Liang of Han, and Li Yuan has only been in Jinyang for three years.

In history, when Liu Wuzhou attacked Jinyang, it was precisely because the geniuses in the city that Jinyang City was destroyed. This shows that the Li family's management in the base camp Jinyang was not very good.

Now that Wang Gui has served, Wang Gui has recommended several Taiyuan Wang children to Li Chongjiu.

For Wang Gui, this was an opportunity to support his fellow tribes. In Li Chongjiu's view, this could greatly win over the Wang family in Taiyuan.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu agreed to Wang Gui's recommendation and joined Youzhou Governor's Office or Taiyuan County as an official.

Li Chongjiu general Wang Gui was appointed as the military officer of the Records Office and served on the same position as Xue Wanshu.

The Taiyuan gentry that won over was of great benefit to the consolidation of Li Chongjiu's power in Taiyuan County. However, as Wang Gui said, Taiyuan was the place of four battles, with Liu Wuzhou and Turks in the north and Li Tang in the south.

In the future, if Li Chongjiu and Dou Jiande conflict in Youzhou, Taiyuan County must be able to defend itself for half a year without the support of the Youzhou army.

The Mu guarded Shanggu County by Su Su before. After the war, the people resumed production, and the roads were filled with noises of chickens and dogs.

Now he is in Taiyuan County to govern, and he is still competent. Moreover, he and Li Chongjiu are generally locals in Taiyuan County, and have a lot of connections in the local area. Li Chongjiu still let Su Su be the governor of Shanggu, the county magistrate of the two counties in Taiyuan, and Zhao Wansan, the former county magistrate of Shanggu County, be the county magistrate of Yanmen County, and share the position of Su Su.

You can rest assured that Su Su is guarding Li Chongjiuzu, a 9-foot in Taiyuan County.

However, Li Chongjiu was considering the general who guarded Taiyuan.

For example, the generals under Li Chongjiu, Wang Mahan, Tan Zong, Ertuo, Ying Hefu, Yan Yelei, Wugunai can all be called brave generals, but they cannot stand alone. As for Xue Wanche, although Xue Wanjun is young and brave, he is not qualified enough after all, so if he wants to guard one side, only Yuchi Gong can take charge.

But Youzhou also left Yuchi Gong, but compared with the two attempts, Li Chongjiu could only follow the power, and asked Yuchi Gong to lead 5,000 Martial Guards to station in Taiyuan. Xue Wanche led 30 million victorious troops and temporarily stationed in Fenyang Echoing Yanmen and Taiyuan County.

At the same time, Li Chongjiu asked Yuchi Gong to recruit 10,000 troops in Taiyuan County, and selected three thousand elite troops, while the rest were all used as village soldiers.

Li Chongjiu led Xue Wanjun to become the general of Huben, the Wuwei Army, and recruited another 5,000 local soldiers from Youzhou and Shanggu. The government soldiers and local soldiers who were damaged in each army before were each compensated for their own losses, which was another expense.

Although this time the attack on Shanxi was very robbed, this was a plan to expand the army without the consular agreement between the governor's office and the county magistrate's office.

After Li Chongjiu had decided to return to Youzhou, he would stay in the governor's mansion and stay away from the governor's mansion. Otherwise, it would be known to Wei Zheng and Chen Xiaoyi, and Li Chongjiu would have to look at the faces of the two of them.

The major matters in Taiyuan have been dealt with, and Li Chongjiu is in Jinyang for a few days. The generals of the Han army and the Han army have come back together and urged them to let Youzhou be in charge.

Li Chongjiu decided not to wait for Li Zhiwan's news and led a large army from Taiyuan County to Youzhou. Ertuo, Yinghefu, and Yan Yelei suddenly heard that they would return to their homes with great results and were satisfied.

The first battle between Youzhou and Li Tang in Hedong came to an end.

Both sides suffered a considerable loss. Li Chongjiu's 60,000 troops were killed, injured, frostbite, and missing people, reaching nearly 10,000. For Li Chongjiu's not rich strength at present, this battle hurts his vitality. Fortunately, he occupied Taiyuan County, and Taiyuan County's manpower and material resources were better than Zhuo County. It took less time to recover his strength and go to the next level.

Li Tang's casualties were far above Li Chongjiu. Li Tang not only lost Taiyuan County, but also several prefectures in Hedong were looted, and even Yin Kaishan, the chief marching officer of Taiyuan Road, died in battle. However, Li Shimin eliminated two hidden dangers in Hedong Lu Chongmao and Yao Junsu. Moreover, Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian, had more than 30 counties in Sichuan and Shu, which could far offset the losses of Taiyuan County.

However, this represents the future direction of the world. The battle between Hebei forces in challenging the Guanzhong forces was ignored by most people in the world.
