Chapter 2306 Jiangling Rebellion (5)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The news of Li Shimin's death was like a bolt from the blue for the entire Tang army.  It is not an exaggeration to say that it is like mourning a heir.

    For the Jiangling garrison, Li Shimin has long become their spiritual sustenance.

    On the one hand, Li Shimin can be called the first person in the military circles of Li and Tang due to his military exploits after entering Shu.  On the other hand, Li Daozong and Tang Jian had been trapped in the inner city of Jiangling for so long. Their only hope was that Li Shimin would return with a great victory and relieve the siege of Jiangling. They kept telling everyone that Li Shimin could come back, causing everyone to give up all hope.  On Li Shimin's body.

    But today, all these have become extravagant hopes.

    Everyone understood that they were truly trapped in the inner city of Jiangling and could never return to Bashu.

    As the commander-in-chief, Li Daozong also felt despair and didn't know what to do.  All his plans were for Li Shimin to return to support, and as for the defeat, he did not expect it at all.

    As for the authenticity of this matter, Li Daozong had no doubts.  Just that seal and ribbon cannot be faked.  These days, personal seals and ribbons are tied close to the body, or someone is specially kept to keep them. Basically, people are sealing the ribbons.

    No one thought that a boss of Li Shimin¡¯s level would make such a low-level mistake.

    ????????????? And the heads of more than a dozen generals, including Li Da¡¯en and Shu Ze, were placed there. They were all generals at the level of generals such as generals and governors. No one would believe it if they said that the Tang army did not experience a disastrous defeat.

    At this time, the morale of the defenders in the inner city of Jiangling plummeted, and everyone understood that they would not be able to return to Bashu.

    Chen Kedi understood the principle that mourning troops must win, and knew that these Tang troops could not be driven crazy, so he continued to use the method used to deal with Liang Jun's surrender to divide and disintegrate the Tang army.

    ¡°Moreover, Chen Kedi also asked Tang Jian¡¯s younger brother Tang Min to write a letter and sent someone to secretly send it to Tang Jian.

    Tang Jian is a native of Jinyang. His grandfather Tang Yong served as Zuopushe, the minister in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Taiyuan Tang family is also a large family in the Hedong area.  Tang Jian could seek refuge with Li Yuan, but after Huang Mingyuan occupied Hedong, the Tang family had to live under Huang Mingyuan if they wanted to preserve themselves.

    The content of Tang Min's letter is very simple. It just writes about the situation at home and talks about the love between brothers.

    After the letter was delivered to Tang Jian, Chen Kedi asked someone to inform Li Daozong of the matter.

    Although Li Daozong trusted Tang Jian before, at this time, he didn't dare to believe anyone. He was just afraid of disturbing others, so he asked people to investigate secretly.

    This interrogation does not matter, the Sui army jumped out immediately when the Tang army was dead, pointed all the finger at Tang Jian, and tried its best to create the illusion of a secret meeting between Tang Jian and the Sui army.

    At the same time, Beidou personnel asked people to spread the news to Tang Jian.  At this time Zhang Si

    After Tang Jian learned about it, he was shocked and immediately went to see Li Daozong with the letter written by his younger brother Tang Min to show his innocence.

    Although Li Daozong pretended to believe Tang Jian absolutely, he also casually looked at the contents of the letter.  But the more he read this letter, the more frightened and uneasy he became.

    In Li Daozong's view, Tang Min's letter was to persuade Tang Jian to surrender, which was a natural thing.  But Tang Min's letter contained nothing, only some commonplace words.

    This made Li Daozong angry and funny. Is the superstition that the Sui army tried so hard to send just a commonplace thing?  This shows that either Sui Jun was stupid, or Tang Jian's letter to him was fake.

    " Moreover, Li Daozong also discovered that there was another problem with Tang Jian's letter, which was the letter paper.

    In the north, mulberry bark is often used to make paper, which is tissue paper.  In Bashu, yellow and white linen are mostly used to make paper, which is hemp paper.  Later, Huang Mingyuan promoted bamboo paper on a large scale in the north.  But in any case, due to different environments, economic conditions, and production processes, the paper used in different places is still different, especially in remote areas.

    But Tang Jian¡¯s letter was written on Chengdu yellow and white linen paper.

    In Li Daozong¡¯s view, Tang Min, a Hedong native who had never been to Sichuan, could have Chengdu yellow and white linen paper in his hand, unless this letter was written by someone from Chengdu.

    Thinking about it this way, some things become clear at a glance.

    Li Daozong does not doubt Tang Jian's previous loyalty, nor does he fully trust Tang Jian's current loyalty.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#32&#35835&#29306

    Li Daozong was almost a witness to the Chang'an Revolution that year. Even Li Youliang, a direct descendant of the Li family, would surrender to the Sui army, so nothing remained unchanged.

    And at this moment, another thing happened in the city.

    Tang Jian¡¯s crony Li Shiheng secretly sent people out of the city to contact the Sui army and was arrested.  Li Shiheng was originally Li Tang's general secretary and a subordinate of Tang Jian, who followed Li Shimin in the Eastern Expedition.  During the Jiangling Incident, Li Shiheng, a close confidant of Tang Jian, was recommended by Tang Jian as the Jiangling Order.

    Li ?Heng, the Jiangling Order, was just accumulating qualifications. When he returned, he could become the governor of a state or a doctor in a department.  Tang Jian also served as the governor of Jingzhou, and recommended Li Shiheng as the Jiangling Order to better control Jingzhou.

    Li Shiheng secretly contacted the Sui army, perhaps seeking a way out, but unfortunately he was not careful and was eventually caught.

    Originally, this was Li Shiheng¡¯s business, but Li Shiheng, perhaps in order to survive, shifted the responsibility to Tang Jian when facing the interrogation, saying that Tang Jian instigated him to do everything.

    "Most people will not take it seriously if a subordinate accuses a superior without any basis or evidence.

    But Li Daozong had long suspected Tang Jian. Now that he saw Li Shiheng's accusation, his suspicion of Tang Jian became even deeper.

    Many times, when you have prejudice or doubt about a certain person, then when you look at this person, everything he does is wrong, and everything he does seems to be closer to your perception of him.

    Li Daozong no longer has any hope of breaking out of the siege. He is prepared to live and die with Jiangling City for the sake of the Li family like Xiao Liu.

    Therefore, Li Daozong will never tolerate anyone in Jiangling City betraying the Li family.

    Li Daozong immediately took control of Tang Jian, and then sent people to purge Tang Jian's cronies in the city.  The reason why Tang Jian was not killed was because he was afraid of causing greater chaos.

    After being captured, Tang Jian was confused and had no idea what Li Daozong was going to do. He thought Li Daozong was going to surrender.

    When Li Daozong threw the evidence of Tang Jian's rebellion in front of him, he was still confused.  After that, Tang Jian complained repeatedly, but Li Daozong left long ago without looking back.

    Li Daozong later dealt with many people, all of whom were inclined to surrender or had already defected to the Sui army.  But what Li Daozong didn't expect was that although his ruthless methods shocked a group of people, it would bring more fluctuations in the hearts of the inner city of Jiangling.

    When the people around you are full of betrayers, how can you continue to fight with peace of mind.

    Li Daozong has means, ability, and scheming, but he cannot control people's hearts, nor can he save himself from going to destruction.

    Three days later, the Sui army used black powder to blow open the south gate of Jiangling's inner city.  Zhi Da Zhi Xiao

    With a loud noise, the Tang army's rule in Jiangling City came to an end.  Most of the Tang army surrendered in this battle, and the Tang army's commander Li Daozong died in the battle
