Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 11 Changsun Wuji Is Really Angry
Following Li Ke's order, 14 Macedonian phalanx soldiers, [-] light infantry, and [-] militiamen, a mighty [-] people, set off for Pengzhou in the north.

The five counties in the Pengzhou district of Pengzhou, with less than [-] soldiers and horses, fell almost simultaneously within two days.

All the gentry inside and outside the city were arrested and killed, and the corpses were hung around the walls of all the county towns.

Hundreds of thousands of fanatical people in Pengzhou asked to join the rebel Shu army, but Ma Liuzhi declined.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ke directly asked the people to rent out the land and set up a state-owned farm in Shu State to develop and maintain the local land.

With the help of Shu's strong water conservancy infrastructure capabilities and a large number of cattle, only 1 people can cultivate the entire [-] hectares of land in Pengzhou.

The remaining women and men all migrated to the vicinity of Chengdu and joined the steel and textile mills as well as pastures.

At the same time, [-] strong men joined the reserve.

The manpower grew almost immediately.

The news that Ma Liuzhi occupied Pengzhou and Bingfeng continued to go north reached the court, and the court and the public were shocked.

Changsun Wuji, who had cut his own way and was unable to let the court send troops, was immediately annoyed when he saw the development of this situation.

"Your Majesty, the influence of the rebellion in Shu is deepening day by day, and the rebel army is powerful. I request that the Vanguard Guard and You Xiaowei who went north to deal with Luo Yi be dispatched to the south to deal with the Shu rebels first!"

In the morning court, Changsun Wuji personally fired at Sichuan and Shu regardless of the impact.

"My minister agrees!"

"Please Your Majesty severely punish the King of Shu and send troops to suppress the rebellion in Shu!"

"I implore Your Majesty to send troops!"

Officials of the Guanlong Group, which accounted for one-third of the number of officials in the capital, stepped forward one after another to beg for orders.

On the court hall, there was a large area of ​​people bowed down in darkness.

"King Yan's rebellion, and he has frontier troops in his hands, so of course we should give priority to attacking, but Master Changsun wants to send a large army south?"

Du Ruhui gave a flattering sound.

"you……"

Changsun Wuji gave Du Ruhui a vicious look.

Du Ruhui's expressionless face didn't even look at him.

"Yes, once there is a loss in the land of Yanzhou, the Turks will go south. Can the eldest grandson bear this trouble?"

Fang Xuanling also said with a look of joining in the fun.

"Yes, Lord Changsun is too anxious."

"That's right, could it be that your eldest grandson is afraid that those rioters will attack you because those rioters went north?"

"The land of Youzhou is our key lifeline!"

Officials from the non-Guanlong Group also joined in the fun.

Even if they don't support Li Ke, the king of Shu, they won't be members of the princeling party. It's a kind of fun to fight the big boss, Changsun Wuji.

After all, the Guanlong Group of the eldest son's family is already powerful, and his sister is the queen, and his nephew will soon be the prince.

The court has already let your eldest grandson's family play, where else can others play?

Now that he finally has the opportunity to make trouble, it is a pure fool to let go of this opportunity.

Li Shimin looked at this scene expressionlessly, noncommittal.

The atmosphere in the entire court suddenly became subtle.

"Your Majesty, the King of Shu's memorial has just been delivered."

At this time, the great eunuch Wang De took a flying pigeon letter from the little eunuch next to him, then came to the steps of the dragon chair and reported the report respectfully.

"It must be about this matter, so let's listen to what the King of Shu has to say."

Li Shimin said indifferently.

If there is something secret, Li Ke will naturally go through Li Tong's path.

Since it is an upplay, it must be a formal letter, and there will be no shady content.

As a result, the officials restrained their breath and made a look of listening attentively.

Even Changsun Wuji and his men from the Guanlong Group stopped talking at this time.

"Read!"

Li Shimin ordered.

"According to the order!"

"The king of Shu said that the time limit has not yet come, and he is negotiating with the rioters."

"What the rebellious people want is for the gentry to collect 50 stones of food and grass to help the Kingdom of Shu, and to exonerate all the people and not kill a single person."

"For such a big matter, I dare not make decisions at will, and I want to be hypocritical and snake first."

"However, Ma Liuzhi, the leader of the rebel army, judged that his ministers could not make decisions. After besieging Shuangliu, he raised his troops and went north."

"I suggest that it is not feasible to kill all the people. We should not kill one person at all, let the gentry in Guanlong and the gentry in the surrounding counties gather food and grass, and let the matter pass."

Wang De finished reading Li Ke's letter with ups and downs as if reading his will.

"Let me, the Guanlong Group, take the lead in collecting 50 stones of food and grass for them!?"

Even Changsun Wuji's composure showed anger at this time.

This is no longer stimulating his eldest grandson Wuji's nerves.

This is bleeding on his neck with a knife!
"how can that be!?"

The officials of the Guanlong Group were also in an uproar at this time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between those rebels and Li Ke is inextricably linked.

Sending food and grass to the rebels means sending food and grass to Li Ke.

Although I don't know why Li Ke can control those rebels so firmly, but the Guanlong Group will have to pay for food and grass when Pengzhou is conquered?

Is the Guanlong Group just papery?

Even if the imperial army is thrown aside and the two sides fight in private, it is still unknown who will win the battle!
"Eldest Sun Aiqing, what do you think?"

Li Shimin's majestic voice came from the dragon chair.

And the mocking eyes of those non-Guanlong Group officials around him almost drove Changsun Wuji crazy.

"Your Majesty, Youzhou is a matter of business. I will invite the commander who went north to change generals. I will go to the right to settle the matter of the Shu rebels."

Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said.

"hiss……"

All the officials took a breath of cold air at the same time.

It was Li Shimin who personally ordered the position of head coach of Luo Yi, King of Yan, to go north to Changsun Wuji.

The purpose is nothing more than to gild Changsun Wuji again so that he can sit more securely in this position.

This is the expression of Li Shimin's holy family.

In order to deal with Li Ke, Changsun Wuji didn't even plating gold. He wanted to go back to Youyou to confront Li Kefang in person?

This price is a bit high!
Changsun Wuji was really angry!

And other officials from the non-Guanlong Group, especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, looked at each other with gleams in their eyes.

Both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

There is a door!

As long as Changsun Wuji lacks this serious military exploits and only one mastermind of the Xuanwu Gate Change is left, his authority will be greatly reduced.

This means that this great Buddha can be shaken!

"The minister seconded the proposal, this is a perfect strategy!"

Du Ruhui was the first to stand up.

"The minister also agrees!"

Fang Xuanling was unwilling to be left behind.

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

Other officials from the non-Guanlong Group stepped forward one after another, occupying two-thirds of the positions in the imperial court.

"Prelude!"

Seeing such a scene, Li Shimin simply made a decision.

Obviously, he also saw that Changsun Wuji's authority was a little too big.
