Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 633 Competing in the Central Plains (86)

one year later
The first winter of Yan State 420 (631)
Li Zitong, the emperor of Wu, was captured and beheaded by Li Shimin, and Wu was destroyed. Some of the domestic ruling class surrendered to Li Tang, and some took their families and went to Yan.

The State of Yan urgently notified each of the vassal states to transfer their population and wealth, just like the past in the Sui Dynasty.

The difference from the Sui Dynasty is that during the Yanxu period, it was the first time that the Yan State had confronted the unified Central Plains Dynasty, so it was very scary and everyone had no confidence.

However, since the end of the decisive battle, Yan Guo's confidence has skyrocketed again, as if he did not take the Central Plains seriously.

"Yang Guang's 200 million army was defeated by our country of Yan. If Tang Lu wants to die, he can come to Shanhaiguan for a try!"

"I see that Li Shimin, although he has some abilities, but he is only the second Yang Guang, and he will die in the end!"

"If you dare to commit an offense, you will be defeated!"

"Behind the natural barrier of Shanhaiguan Pass is the Liaodong Iron Wall!"

In the past, when the Yan Kingdom was still very weak, it could choose to be a dog for the Central Plains Dynasty, as a slave to the dragon, the Central Plains royal family ate meat, and the Wang family drank soup.

However, with the current size of the Wang family, not to mention whether the Central Plains royal family will be vigilant, even if the royal family can rest assured of the Wang family and is willing to share soup with the Wang family, they will not be able to feed the Wang family at all.

With the current size of the Wang family, it is necessary to eat meat. If you only drink soup, you will starve to death. Since you want to eat meat, you can only fight against the Central Plains Dynasty. The previous thinking of being a dragon is not suitable Now the Wang family of this size.

When you are weak, you dare not do it even if you have a chance to usurp the throne. The risk of overturning is too high.

When it is strong, even if there is no chance to control the Central Plains, it must be forced to create opportunities.

This is a specific analysis of specific issues. Whether the Wang family and the Central Plains cooperate or confront has a lot to do with the strength of the Wang family.

However, for the Yan State, it is not all bad news. There is good news that Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan reconciled, and the two sides jointly ruled East Turkistan.

One Turk, two Khans!

East Turkistan has finally ended the civil war temporarily, and can begin to exert pressure on the Central Plains.

The more pressure the Eastern Turks put on the Central Plains, the less pressure Yan would bear.

When the civil strife on the East Turkic side ended, the various nobles stopped their troops to make peace and began to discuss plans to attack the Central Plains.

Tang Dynasty
Changan
Da da da!
"No matter how hard it is for the common people, save some money and buy Shandong back."

Emperor Li Yuan had just begun to indulge in the joy of unification, and was still planning to use money to buy the vassal state of Yan State.

Yes, even at this point, Li Yuan still did not dare to confront the Yan State head-on, and actually wanted to use money to buy back the land occupied by the Yan State in the Central Plains.

Even though Yan State humiliated the Tang Empire many times, mocked Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his sons in public, and repeatedly blocked the unification of the Tang Empire, Emperor Li Yuan still did not dare to formally declare war on Yan State.

This is the terrifying influence brought about by the decisive battle!

A decisive battle, played out the self-confidence of the Yan people, and also played out the inferiority complex of the people in the Central Plains.

Almost the vast majority of people in the Central Plains believed from the bottom of their hearts that once they attacked Yan State, they would repeat the same mistakes as Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Even if there were millions of soldiers, they would be wiped out in front of Yan State.

This is where the contradiction between the ruling class of the Tang Empire lies. On the one hand, they understand that Yan State is not a good enemy, so they win over Goguryeo and use Goguryeo to secretly contain Yan State; on the other hand, they do not want to confront Yan State head-on. It is best to buy back the lost land. In the future, the Central Plains will eat meat, the Yan Kingdom will drink soup, and everyone will live in peace.

However, Yan Guo wants to eat meat!
The negative effect that Yang Guang brought to the people of the Central Plains was huge. A war made the people of the Central Plains lose their national self-confidence, making them think that they could not be the opponents of the Yan State. Facing the land occupied by the Yan State, they could only be humble. He begged Yan Guo willing to sell them.

"I heard that the Eastern Turkic Civil War is over and they are preparing to go south. It seems... I have to make plans earlier."

"How about moving the capital to Jiangdu? Hmm... No, no, no, Jiangdu is too close to the ocean, which is the home of Yan Kingdom."

"It seems that the only way to move the capital to Bashu is to have a sense of security."

Faced with the news that the Eastern Turks had ended their civil war and were planning to go south, Emperor Li Yuan wanted to move his capital to the safer Bashu area.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and when they are young, they can run into the enemy camp alone, but when they are old, they look forward and backward, fearing this and that.

The older you are, the smarter you are, and the older you are, the more you are afraid of death. It is described as Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin asked many times to send troops to attack Qufu and snatch the Confucian family to increase the legitimacy of Datang.

But all of them were rejected by Emperor Li Yuan: "Now is not the time to completely tear the face off with Yan State. One world can accommodate two overlords. We must learn to coexist with Yan State."

Li Tang didn't dare to snatch it, Yan Guo would not be polite, and directly evacuated Qufu, and forcibly moved the Kong family to Yandu.

As for whether the Kong family is willing or not, this is actually not a problem, because, the Kong family, would he dare to agree?

If the Kong family dared to act in front of the Yan State, they would swear to the death, the Yan State family would not mind letting the Saint family completely cut off the incense.

joke?Our royal family, what are we afraid to do?Just exterminate the blood of the saint?how?Who dares to refuse?
Just when Li Yuan was still thinking about how much money he would have to spend to buy back the Shandong land occupied by the Yan Kingdom.

Da da da!
There were many footsteps outside the palace.

boom!
The door of the dormitory was forcibly knocked open, and a group of imperial guards entered Li Yuan's dormitory.

"What are you going to do? Who ordered you?"

Li Yuan was shocked, what happened?Is the Praetorian Guard going to rebel?

"Someone is rebelling, and I will come to protect His Majesty, please don't be alarmed!" The general of the Imperial Guard said ambiguously, and did not say who was planning to rebel.

This is actually the performance of the imperial guards sitting on the wall left and right. They also accepted the cooperation invitation of Prince Li Jiancheng and Qin Wang Li Shimin.

For the prince, the imperial guards said this: We help the prince control the emperor, prince, you take this opportunity to kill the king of Qin, and you can add officials to us in the future.

For King Qin, the imperial guards said: We help King Qin control the emperor, King Qin, you take this opportunity to kill the prince, and you can add officials to us in the future.

In the eyes of Prince Li Jiancheng, the imperial guards are his people, the so-called "own people".

In the eyes of Qin Wang Li Shimin, the imperial guards are his people, and they are also the so-called "own people".

Both Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng believed that they had the full support of the imperial guards, so they both believed that they had the chance to win.

However, in fact, the plan of the imperial guards was that if the crown prince won, they would declare Qin Wang Li Shimin a traitor, and they came to protect the emperor from being killed by Qin Wang Li Shimin.

If Li Shimin, king of Qin, wins, they will declare that Prince Li Jiancheng is a traitor, and they are here to protect the emperor from being killed by Prince Li Jiancheng.

Whoever wins, who will they help!
Who is the next emperor, we don't care, we just want to be the hero of the new emperor, as for who the new emperor is, it doesn't matter.

The imperial guards controlled the emperor, and at the Xuanwu Gate...
