Chai Shao felt that he was very impressive during this period. His wife, Princess Pingyang, was going to be the emperor. According to some people, the Tian family was going to take the surname Chai.
During this time, his body became a little lighter when he walked.
No matter who sees him on the road, he must please him.
The only disadvantage was that Chai Shao was a surrogate son-in-law, which made him very dissatisfied. Although someone had said this before, he didn't want to hear it at all.
And now, no matter where he is, people are mocking him. He is actually the number one son-in-law in the history. He is the first person to have such a soft life, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.
Anyway, he heard these words every day. Not only the common people said this, but also the civil and military officials began to spread the word. Some even said that he, Huo Guogong and General Zuo Yiwei, all relied on his points for his achievements. Thanks to Princess Pingyang's achievements, if he was really capable, why didn't he see himself fighting a big battle?
Chai Shao was very angry after saying this.
He is now thinking that someone will come out and let him fight, so that the world can see what he is capable of.
This word has been spreading for more than a month, making him want to prove his ability day and night, but there has never been a chance. Then one day in August of the ninth year of Wude, a news came from Chang'an City , the Turks sent troops to invade the Tang Dynasty.
This news immediately spread to Chang'an City. Chang'an City was shocked three times a day. The Tianjie Army in Jingzhou had been besieged for more than a month. Everyone had been busy with Xuanwu Gate before, so they forgot about it. When the Xuanwu Gate was over, the two kings left for other worlds, and then Princess Pingyang prepared to ascend the throne. These things were busy one by one, and everyone forgot that Luo Yi was still leading the Tianjie Army and Tianji in Jingzhou. Together with Zhang Jin, they were surrounded by nearly 300,000 Turkic troops.
Now that Jingzhou is besieged, the Turkic army has gone south directly, and is now heading towards Chang'an.
Speaking of this, I have to say that Li Shimin is a bastard. He launched the Xuanwu Campaign just because the emperor allowed Li Yuanji to take the generals of Tiance Mansion on his behalf and he was afraid that he would be slaughtered after losing his military power. Door.
After the success of Xuanwu Sect, this guy focused on becoming the prince and letting Li Yuan abdicate. He completely forgot that Luo Yi also led an army of tens of thousands to resist the Turks in Wucheng. Then Jingzhou was besieged and the Turks Heading south to Chang'an, Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne and was somewhat complacent, signed the Weishui Treaty.
You must know that the Weishui Alliance should not have appeared. The appearance of this alliance was entirely because of Li Shimin's own trouble. Then Li Shimin trapped the matter in Yizhou in order to make the world forget that this matter was his mistake. Daotianjie General Luo Yi's body was stained by his rebellion. Moreover, Yizhou Daotianjie General Luo Yi rebelled in Jingzhou, the territory of Jingzhou Daotianji General Zhang Jin, not in his own Youzhou. Rebellion, it can be said that Li Shimin politically framed a general who had made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty for his own wisdom and martial arts, and directly killed him.
Moreover, this general was Luo Yi, who was known for his loyalty. You must know that when Yang Guang was killed, among the old generals of the Sui Dynasty, only Luo Yi mourned for him.
This is probably the reason why he was tricked and killed. Luo Yi was so loyal that he was so loyal that other people lost face. You must know that everyone is actually an old member of the Sui Dynasty, but when no one mourned , there is no problem, but you, Luo Yi, mourned, and others did not do it, which made everyone lose face, so except for Luo Yi, no one said anything.
After that, Li Shimin quietly - except for the generals of Tiance, such as Zhang Liang and Hou Junji, not only that, the generals of Tiance had almost no chance to appear after Xuanwumen, and they have been ignored by Li Shimin ever since. The most important ones are Li Jing and Li Ji.
Anyway, Li Shimin is very good at this point. It's not that these two can't be used, but this method of dumping them after eating is very good.
But now Li Shimin doesn't have this opportunity, and when the people in Tiance Mansion know that Li Shimin's throne is hopeless, they don't know how many people will continue to seek refuge with him. After all, these people are all powerful animals.
These people can't be said to be loyal. You must know that when Li Shimin failed in the political struggle, all of them were arranged out, and many of them even became Li Jiancheng's subordinates. At that time, these people had no nostalgia. , if Li Shimin's decision to launch a coup to seize the throne had not given them a greater temptation, Tiance Mansion would have split at that time.
Now that the Turks are moving south, those who can lead troops in the Tang Dynasty are either not available or not suitable, so everyone is very anxious. Members of the Li Tang royal family cannot lead troops now, because who knows whether these people will seize the throne?
Although the two generals of the Li Tang royal family, Li Daozhong and Li Xiaogong, have stated that they will not seize the throne, you must know that Li Shimin also expressed his support for his brother before. Just listen to this at the wine table. Who wants to really believe it? Well, whoever is a fool is a fool. Before the imperial power, fathers, sons and brothers can turn against each other and become enemies. It is guaranteed to be of no use.
And Li Jing and Li Ji, who are super capable of fighting, need to avoid suspicion, so this period of time is not suitable for commanding troops.
The Tang Dynasty, which now has many famous generals, was a bit stretched for a while. If Li Zhao had not ascended the throne, it would be a good choice for her to lead the army, but if the prince went to war, it would not be as good as Li Yuan's personal expedition.
So at this time, Chai Shao, the general of Zuo Yiwei of the Tang Dynasty, felt that his opportunity had come. He could prove that he did not just start his career by eating soft rice, but that he also had real abilities.
So he wrote to Li Yuan amidst great expectations that he would lead the army on the expedition. He also said that he was the most suitable candidate. He was Li Zhao's husband and would never rebel.
As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan decided that Chai Shao would die.
So Li Yuan asked all the generals and nobles in Chang'an City to hand over their private soldiers and let Chai Shao lead them to fight against the Turks. Of course, in order to show his sincerity, Li Yuan took him on loan from other worlds. Those who went to borrow troops from large armies.
After he came to the door, he asked them kindly if they wanted to die or live. If they wanted to die, they should not borrow troops. He could help them on the spot. If they wanted to live, they should hand over their private army and let Chai Shao take them there. Die.
Seeing Li Yuan's sincerity, everyone said with tears that the emperor had spoken and they would definitely hand over their own army.
After that, all the nobles in Chang'an City expressed their loyalty to Li Zhao.
