The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

After becoming a confidant, Li Yuanji did what he liked, and gave Zhang Liang some rare treasures one after another.

Back then, Yang Guang was so extravagant that he collected all the treasures in the world and filled them into Luoyang Palace.Later, when Li Yuan occupied Luoyang, these treasures naturally fell into Li Yuan's hands.Later, Liu Ziqiu's troops marched into Luoyang in two ways. Li Yuan sent Li Shimin and Li Xuanba to Jiangnan to kidnap Liu Ziqiu's wife and children, but failed, so he surrendered the city.But before Xiancheng surrendered, Li Yuan had already smuggled a large number of treasures from the palace through secret channels.Over the past ten years, Li Yuan has gathered a group of desperadoes precisely by relying on these treasures.

In fact, Liu Ziqiu also knew that Li Yuan had stolen many palace treasures.But Liu Ziqiu didn't go into it because he voluntarily surrendered and didn't destroy Luoyang City.After all, Liu Ziqiu is different from Yang Guang. He likes to live a simple and ordinary life, and he doesn't have much interest in those rare treasures.But Zhang Liang couldn't put it down to these treasures.

As the great general of the dynasty, Zhang Liang is not short of money, but many treasures cannot be bought with money.Because Li Yuanji offered many treasures, Zhang Liang was very happy, so he gave him many privileges.Among the thousand troops under Li Yuanji's command, from corporal commander to centurion commander, they were all selected and appointed by Li Yuanji himself.In this way, the 1000 troops were completely under Li Yuanji's control.This approach actually violated the Han military regulations, because the subordinate general Lang had no power to decide the promotion of officers and soldiers.It's just that Zhang Liang has never paid attention to military regulations, not to mention that 1000 troops are not a big deal.

However, Li Yuanji was not satisfied with mastering a thousand soldiers and horses, he had further moves.

In the spring of last year, on a sunny afternoon, Li Yuanji suddenly invited Zhang Liang to play in the countryside.One is a general and the other is a lieutenant, and there is a generation difference in age. Li Yuanji was not qualified to send out such an invitation.Just because of the treasures he presented during the festivals, Zhang Liang readily accepted the appointment.

For an outing in Luoyang, the best place is of course Xiyuan Sixteenth Courtyard, but Li Yuanji brought Zhang Liang into another place.It is located in the southern suburbs, very remote, but the environment is quiet.After drinking for three rounds, Li Yuanji suddenly slapped his hands and called in a dancer.This dancer's eyebrows are like distant black, her eyes are like autumn waves, her skin is like white snow, and her muscles are like fat. Zhang Liang straightened his eyes at that time.So, without Li Yuanji's persuasion, after the banquet was over, Zhang Liang hugged the dancer and slept in the back.After a night of spring breeze, it was not until the next day when the dancer revealed her identity that she frightened Zhang Liang out of his wits.

It turns out that this beautiful and romantic dancer is none other than Wang Shi, the wife of the former emperor Yang Guang.This Mrs. Wang is also Li Yuan's niece and Li Yuanji's cousin.Together with Empress Xiao and others, she was placed in another palace, and her personal freedom was not restricted, even if she married.It's just that who would dare to marry such famous concubines as Yang Guang?Even Zhang Liang was terrified after only sleeping for one night.

Li Yuanji persuaded: "General, my sister has been a widow for a long time, and she will marry sooner or later. At the end of the day, I will see the heroes of the world, and there is no one who can surpass the general. I will talk to my sister at the end of yesterday, and my sister is quite moved. , and then agreed to have a meeting with the general. Just now, the general asked my sister again, but my sister is very fond of the general, and I hope the general will not let down the good marriage."

Zhang Liang hesitated again and again, but still sighed, and said, "I'm afraid Zhang doesn't have this blessing."

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Your Majesty has long had a decree to allow my sister and others to marry themselves. The reason why my sister has stayed until now is that there is no good relationship. Why should the general be suspicious?"

Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "Who can guess His Majesty's thoughts?"

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "If that's the case, the final general is willing to dedicate this place to the general, thinking it is a place for the general and his sister to have a tryst."

In fact, if Zhang Liang really wanted to marry Mrs. Wang, whether it was as a wife or a concubine, Liu Ziqiu would not stop him, and would even be happy to see it happen.Because Liu Ziqiu came from a later generation, he is very different from people of this era in thinking.The women of the former emperors were not allowed to be touched by others, and only the later emperors were eligible. This theory seemed to Liu Ziqiu very absurd.On the contrary, he felt that it was the most inhumane thing for these women to be widowed for the rest of their lives.Of course, if these women were unwilling to remarry, Liu Ziqiu would not be able to force them.

But Zhang Liang is not an ordinary person after all. As the general of the dynasty, he has access to many secrets, so he naturally knows the grievances between Li Yuan and Liu Ziqiu.Maybe he dared to marry other women of Yang Guang, but this Wang family, he would never dare to openly marry home.However, there is always a dark side to the human mind.Yesterday I spent the night with Mrs. Wang, thinking about the scene of this woman who was once the emperor's concubine being crushed under him, Zhang Liang couldn't help his blood rushing up.In the end, he was still fascinated by sex, and acquiesced to Li Yuanji's arrangement.

Time passed, and another year passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Liang suddenly realized that he seemed to be inseparable from Mrs. Wang.But at this moment, Li Shimin suddenly found him.

The army and the cabinet are two different systems, and they may have contacts with each other, but they will not be very close.Therefore, when Li Shimin approached Zhang Liang, he changed his disguise, his whereabouts were very secretive, and he arranged the meeting place at that remote tryst place.Li Shimin's sudden appearance really shocked Zhang Liang.However, the matter has come to this point, and no secrets can be kept from him. Zhang Liang only had a long talk with Li Shimin. As for what they talked about, outsiders have no way of knowing.Only after that secret talk, Zhang Liang began to prepare secretly.

Over the years, Zhang Liang has also cultivated some cronies in the army.However, according to the military regulations of the Han Dynasty, soldiers are not for life. If they reach a certain age and cannot be promoted to a higher position, the only way is to retire.After retiring from the army, the imperial court will also give a certain amount of compensation, but compared to the food and salaries received in the army, it is a bit insignificant.If these soldiers can be more frugal when they are in the army, they can save a lot of furniture. Coupled with the land allocated by the court, their future life will not be a problem, and they can live a good life.If you usually spend money to spread a little bit, your life will not be so easy in the future.This rule is cruel, but it can maintain a competitive situation in the military. Even in peaceful times, no one dares to relax.

Birds of a feather flock together.Zhang Liang likes a life of extravagance, and his cronies are not much different, basically falling into the latter category.After these people retired, their lives quickly fell into distress, and some people turned to Zhang Liang again.Zhang Liang also missed the old feelings, and took these people in as servants in the mansion and the manor.These people are all warriors, and after retiring, their love for martial arts has not diminished.Zhang Liang took advantage of his position to buy a lot of armor and weapons.In other words, these people became Zhang Liang's private soldiers after retiring, and the number of them was as many as [-].

No matter in which dynasty, whoever owns such a private soldier will arouse the suspicion of the court.Therefore, raising private soldiers is Zhang Liang's biggest secret.He raised private soldiers just to cherish his old feelings, and never thought of rebelling.Of course, many aristocratic families have tens of thousands of servants.He is a great general, and it is normal for him to have thousands of servants in his family, and he will not attract the attention of others.It's just that for some reason, Li Shimin found out about this matter, and it became Li Shimin's powerful weapon to blackmail him.Zhang Liang didn't expect it, he accidentally revealed it to Wang after he was drunk.

Li Shimin seized this handle and made a request to him.This request is also very simple, let him attack the palace when he is notified by himself.

Now, Zhang Liang can mobilize an army of 3000 people, plus his private soldiers, the number of troops that can be used has reached 6000.But in the face of the heavily guarded palace, these 6000 people are obviously far from enough.However, Li Shimin promised him solemnly that on that day, the palace gate would open automatically, and there was no need for his troops to forcefully attack Miyagi.In the age without gunpowder, attacking a city was the most painful thing, and the party who attacked the city would often pay an extremely heavy price.However, if the siege gate successfully breaks into the opponent's city gate, the morale will often increase, while the opponent's morale will drop to an extreme.If he can enter the palace gate smoothly, Zhang Liang is confident to capture the palace.The [-] private soldiers under him used to be officers at all levels, whether it was personal martial arts or proficiency in battle formations, they were far superior to ordinary soldiers, and they were loyal to him.With such a private soldier in hand, he is not afraid of the guards in the palace.

Of course, Zhang Liang did not pin all his hopes on Li Shimin's arrangement, he was also actively looking for opportunities.Now, the opportunity finally came.

According to the military regulations of the Han Dynasty, the troops staying in the capital are not fixed, but are exchanged by the generals in turn.The purpose of doing this is also to give all soldiers the opportunity to exercise in the frontier.And for three consecutive months from this month, the troops stationed in the capital will be replaced by Zhang Liang's subordinates.Even though Zhang Liang did not have the power to mobilize these troops, these troops were his subordinates in name. When major changes occurred in the capital, he could order these troops to stay in place or stay in the barracks.In this way, he can attack the palace without fear of being besieged by the defenders.

Now that he has turned to Li Shimin, in order to ensure the success of the operation, Zhang Liang naturally did not hesitate to tell Li Shimin such important information.At this time, Li Shimin also revealed to him a piece of good news that Liu Ziqiu had left the capital and went to Xihai to attend the funeral for Tuakua Mumi.Moreover, Li Shimin told him that he had planned an ambush in the future, and Liu Ziqiu would never return this time.
