Chapter 286: Not inferior to Emperor Shengwu’s talent
After gritting his teeth, Yang Guang agreed.
Although Pei Ju was cheating and colluding with the Ming Dynasty.
But his identity, his strength, and what he has done in the past two years are also beneficial to the Sui Dynasty.
So, he can only tolerate it and cooperate.
This is also the main reason why Pei Ju took the initiative to confess.
Now I can only tolerate it.
"Yes." Yang Lin responded, discussed some details, and left quickly.
The next day, the corresponding request from the Sui State and the price they were willing to pay were sent to the Qianhu of Jinyiwei in the Sui State and sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible.
Zhu Houzhao received the news on the march on March 27.
At this time, he led Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, which had just left the northeastern border of the Ming Dynasty and continued to the northeast.
Actually, he really didn't want to leave, so he just stayed at the border of Ming Dynasty and fought with Temujin.
But Temujin obviously would not agree.
To fight Zhu Houzhao close to the border of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be waiting for many powerful men in the Ming Dynasty to free up their hands to besiege him?
With so many Grand Masters and powerful Grand Masters taking action together, Temujin will definitely lose.
The strong men and women are likely to perish.
So Zhu Houzhao, who wanted to try to kill Temujin, could only continue to move northeast.
Similarly, he will not go too far into the prairie.
Otherwise he might face Meng Yuan’s siege.
This issue of distance and the place of confrontation is also a tacit understanding and game between the two parties.
After listening carefully to Jin Yiwei's report, there is also a memorial, which is the opinion of the cabinet, Gu Xichao and others after discussion.
Of course the purpose of the Sui Kingdom cannot be hidden from them.
In addition to resisting the Meng Yuan and protecting the Sui Kingdom, it is nothing more than taking the opportunity to consolidate forces and bring the Sui Dynasty back to life.
But this is indeed beneficial to Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty needed time to gather its forces to participate in the struggle for the Sui Kingdom.
The Sui Kingdom was also needed to wear down the power of the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
So the suggestion from the cabinet, Gu Xichao and others after discussion was to agree.
Anyway, Ming Dynasty does not need to pay anything. What Ming Dynasty needs most now is time to implement reforms.
If the Sui Kingdom did well, then continue to support the Sui Kingdom in fighting Kublai Khan. There is no need for the Ming Dynasty to rush in and get involved, and they can continue to push forward their own reforms with all their strength.
In the end, if the Sui Kingdom was defeated, Kublai Khan's power would inevitably be consumed a lot.
When the Ming Dynasty enters the scene again, it will be easier to take over the power of the Sui Kingdom, and it will be easier to deal with Kublai Khan.
If Sui wins, it will be nothing.
After the First World War, the Sui Kingdom's strength will not increase much even if it comes back to life. When the Ming Dynasty enters the scene, it will definitely be able to sweep it away.
And Ming Dynasty buried more and more nails in the Sui Kingdom, such as Pei Ju, who also persuaded Ming Dynasty to agree this time.
Can these people really devote themselves to the Sui Kingdom against the Ming Dynasty?
All in all, there is no need for Daming to rush.
As long as Temujin and those powerful heavenly men are held back, let the Sui Kingdom fight with Meng Yuan.
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and felt that what they said made sense.
Looking at the gifts from the Sui Kingdom, three million taels of silver and five million shi of grain, he agreed.
Give the order immediately.
Afterwards, Zhu Houzhao paid no attention to him, and looked toward the northeast with excited fighting and killing intent in his eyes.
According to the speed of Emperor Wu's dragon cavalry and Qixue's army, there are still a few days before they can meet Temujin.
Four days later, Yang Guang received news from Jin Yiwei, and he became excited again.
He knew that this was Sui's last chance.
Success must be achieved at all costs.
Immediately, orders were issued one after another, and the Jin Yiwei cooperated, ostensibly secretly going to those wealthy families, asking them to cooperate with the Sui Dynasty to resist Kublai Khan.
The atmosphere of the entire Sui Kingdom became a little different.
Taiyuan of the Sui Dynasty, one of the four great clans of the Sui Kingdom today, the Li clan.
"Father, now it seems that the Ming Dynasty wants to support the Sui Dynasty and fight to the death with Kublai Khan so that he can reap the benefits." He personally saw off the Jin Yiwei people and returned to the study of Li Yuan, the leader of the Li clan. Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of the Li family, said in a deep voice.
Li Yuan, who was calm and distinguished, nodded and said solemnly: "What do you think?"
The three young men present each pondered for a while, and Li Jiancheng was the first to say: "Dad, this is a great thing for me, the Li clan.
If Meng Yuan attacks, I, Taiyuan, can be said to be the first to bear the brunt.< br>
Haier thought that he could transfer some of his forces to the south to retain the fire.
If the current Sui Dynasty could still integrate all forces, it might not be impossible to fight Kublai Khan.
If there is hope, the remaining people will fully support Sui Ting in the war.”
Li Yuan brushed his beard and felt quite satisfied. This was also his idea.
"Dad." The second young man spoke. This boy looked extremely majestic, with a luxurious edge all over his body. "My child agrees with my elder brother. My child is willing to lead the army."< br>
Li Yuan frowned slightly and said with some hesitation: "Shimin, this is to deal with the Meng Yuan cavalry. You are only sixteen, so you better not go. You, your eldest brother, and your third brother will take some of the tribesmen to the south. "
"Dad, Emperor Shengwu led his troops on an expedition at the age of twelve and defeated Kublai Khan's 100,000 cavalry.
At the age of sixteen, he broke through to the realm of gods. Unparalleled in ancient and modern times. Although I don't dare to compare with Emperor Shengwu, how can I be afraid of Meng Yuan?" Li Shimin said impassionedly and firmly, with a sharper edge.
Li Yuan was relieved.
"Dad, I also want to lead the army." The last young man, Li Yuanji, said quickly and unconvinced.
"Okay." Li Yuan raised his hand to stop Li Yuanji and looked at Li Shimin solemnly, "Shimin, have you really thought about it?"
"My child is absolutely convinced." Li Shimin said nothing. said without hesitation.
"Okay, dad will help you. If Sui Ting can really integrate the forces of all parties and fight against Meng Yuan with all his strength, you can stay and join in.
Now, you have 3,000 people under your command, which can be expanded to 6,000 People." Li Yuan said decisively.
"Thank you dad." Li Shimin said happily.
"Dad, I——" Li Yuanji couldn't help but speak.
Li Yuan interrupted directly and said solemnly: "Your second brother has broken through to the innate realm and has always been good at military skills. It is most suitable for him to represent my Li family in the expedition.
Jiancheng, Yuanji, Shimin chose the most dangerous path. To bear the reputation of my Li family, you must bear the responsibility of the inheritance of the Li family.
The two of you prepare immediately. When the time comes, you and Xiuning will go to the south to ensure the inheritance of your family. "
Hearing this, Li Jiancheng's expression became more serious, and he looked at Li Shimin with a bit more guilt and worry.
Li Yuanji also lost his thoughts on winning and looked worried. After all, they are brothers from the same mother and grew up together. They both know that if a war breaks out, Li Shimin will likely die on the battlefield.
Li Shimin smiled at the two of them and said nothing more. There was no need to say more.
A warm atmosphere filled the air, and Li Yuan looked relieved.
"By the way, Dad, where is the fourth brother?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.
Li Yuan suddenly frowned, seemed to be in a dilemma, and sighed softly: "You also know the talent of your fourth brother.
This year is ten years old, but he is already in an innate state that is hard to find. The opponent is so talented that only Emperor Shengwu of the Ming Dynasty can defeat him
But his madness is even more troublesome.
If I go to the south with you, if he gets sick and you have difficulty controlling it, if the news is leaked and his talent is known to the world, I, the Li family, may not be able to protect him.
So, let him stay in Taiyuan. ”
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin all had complicated expressions and nodded without objection. No matter what they thought in the past, their hearts were full of regrets at this time.
The fourth brother’s talent is really too much. It's terrible and can only be described as inhuman
He may not necessarily lose to Emperor Shengwu of the same age.
After all, although Emperor Shengwu broke through to the extreme level of Grand Master at the age of twelve, when his fourth brothers were twelve years old, they were confident and at their weakest, they were still at the level of Grand Master.
And the training and resources that the fourth brother received are definitely not as good as those of Emperor Shengwu.
So talent may not necessarily be lost to the opponent.
But even with this brain, he still goes crazy from time to time, hey.
This not only cuts off the road to uniting the army, but also doesn’t know what the future will hold.
Otherwise, the future of the Li family will surely reach an unprecedented level of glory.

The most powerful clan in the south of the Sui Kingdom is the Song clan, one of the four great clans in the Sui Kingdom today.
Mo Knife Hall.
It was as if the sword intent accumulated over the years filled the surrounding world with a sharp aura.
"Brother, the Jin Yiwei is here. Please cooperate with Yang Guang to resist Kublai Khan." Song Zhi, the second-in-command of the Song family, came here and said in a solemn voice.
In the knife-sharpening hall, there was silence for a few breaths, and a chuckle rang out, "Good calculation, strong self-confidence and confidence."
"What about big brother, us?" Song Zhi hesitated. .
"Agree." Song Que, the leader of the Song Dynasty and the strongest swordsman in the Sui Dynasty, said in an extremely decisive and resolute voice, "No matter what the plans of the Ming Dynasty and Yang Guang are? Meng Yuan must not be allowed to do this. Wait for the foreigners to occupy the Sui Dynasty
Mobilize 20,000 troops to go north and announce to the world that I, the Song Dynasty, have decided. When the time comes, I will personally go north to resist the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
Discuss with Yang Guang again, I want the command of an army of 50,000 people. "
"Yes. "Song Zhi responded, not surprised.
He knew very well that the two things his eldest brother loved most in his life were the art of swordsmanship and the art of war.
The most insistent thing was the Han ancestry and the The righteousness of south to north.
Therefore, the person he admires the most is Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, and the country he has the most favorable impressions of is the Ming Dynasty, even the Sui Kingdom at its peak ranked second.
Taking it all together, it’s not surprising that I made this decision.
····
There are many aristocratic families who have the same decision as the Li clan and the Song clan.
As these forces spoke out, more and more aristocratic families in the Sui Kingdom chose to support the Sui Dynasty in this war.
The rebel armies in various parts of the Sui Kingdom also quietly lowered their momentum.
The dilapidated chariot of Sui State began to run powerfully again.
At this moment, another piece of news shocked the world, spread throughout the countries, and caused countless shocks.
April 1st.
The Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Liao started an undeclared war, and their armies went south to jointly attack the Kingdom of Song.
Hundreds of thousands of cavalry, like two spears, each immediately penetrated the defense of the Song Dynasty and entered the territory of the Song Dynasty.
