- On September 18, Li Shimin raised troops in Baidi City and announced a crusade against Li Jiancheng.
From Baidi City to Chengdu, it¡¯s about two thousand miles upstream along the Yangtze River. Li Shimin led the main force of 30,000 people, all of whom took boats and marched westward day and night.
From Baidi City to Yuzhou, this is Li Shimin¡¯s territory, and there are no obstacles along the way.
??And heading west from Yuzhou is Luzhou.
Luzhou relies on the river and is an important town on the southern line of Bashu. It is also a stronghold for the barbarians south of Jisu in the Li and Tang Dynasties.
After Li Yuan entered Bashu, he set up general administration offices in Luzhou (Luchuan County), Rongzhou (Qianwei County), and Yazhou respectively to manage the Southern Barbarian tribes. Among them, Luzhou was the most important place at the intersection of eastern Sichuan, western Sichuan and south central Sichuan. Therefore, after the Battle of Jingxiang, Li Yuan appointed his cousin Li Shenfu as the general manager to control this important place.
After the Battle of Jingxiang, Li Yuan had already predicted the failure of Li Tang, so he made preparations for the fall of Bashu, and Luzhou was a back-up that could advance or retreat.
After Li Shimin arrived in Luzhou, he went to see Li Shenfu in person.
For Li Shimin, sending troops this time was not only a national matter, but also a family matter. At this time, the only elder brothers of the Li clan were Li Shentong and Li Shenfu, so they had to get the support of Li Shenfu to stand up morally and gain more support from the clan.
To show his sincerity, Li Shimin entered the city alone. When he saw Li Shenfu, Li Shimin, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
"Uncle, I don't have a father anymore!" At this time, Zhang Si
Thinking of what happened to the Li family today and Li Yuan's death, Li Shenfu couldn't help but cry.
The uncle and nephew hugged each other and cried.
Seeing this scene, some generals of the Luzhou Army in the surrounding area also felt sad and could not help but burst into tears. 强牺  读牺
When his uncle and nephew returned to the state capital, Li Shimin persuaded Li Shenfu to join him in the crusade against Li Jiancheng and avenge his father.
When Li Shenfu heard this, he fell silent.
It¡¯s not that he has defected to Li Jiancheng, but that he had communicated with his brother Li Shentong before, and Li Shentong advised him not to get involved in this matter.
When the three brothers Li Jiancheng fight against each other, who knows who will win? It is better to guard the army and territory and sit back and watch the storm.
¡°And in Li Shentong¡¯s view, it¡¯s not difficult to gain their support, just in exchange for benefits. Li Jiancheng gave Li Shentong a throne and the position of commander-in-chief of the armies in northern Sichuan. Only then did Li Jiancheng reluctantly accept Li Jiancheng's order. So what should Li Shimin do if he wanted to move Li Shenfu.
So Li Shenfu persuaded: "World people, brothers are fighting against the wall and resisting their insults. At any other time, I would have supported you. But now the Ming army is attacking me, and now the entire Li family is in danger. You Brothers, why are you taking advantage of outsiders at this time of civil strife?"
"Uncle, the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"
No matter how Li Shimin persuaded him, Li Shenfu made up his mind not to join him in raising an army. Moreover, Li Shenfu, in turn, kept admonishing Li Shimin, asking him to be patient for the sake of the country and to value peace.
Li Shimin stayed with Li Shenfu for two days, but he couldn't talk to him.
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Li Shimin had no choice but to march westward alone.
Early on the third day, Li Shimin asked Li Shenfu to resign.
Li Shenfu also knew that rejecting Li Shimin today would definitely make the other party unhappy. Therefore, in order to ease the relationship and not offend Li Shimin, Li Shenfu personally escorted Li Shimin out of the city.
Arriving at the outskirts, Li Shimin¡¯s trusted general Zheng Rentai was waiting with his men.
After the two parties said goodbye, Li Shenfu was about to send Li Shimin away.
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly stepped forward, took Li Shenfu's hand, and said to everyone: "My uncle will accompany me to conquer the rebels. Why don't you prepare quickly and send out troops together?"
Li Shenfu was shocked, looked at Li Shimin and said, "Shimin, what are you doing?"
At this time, a group of Li Shimin's guards had surrounded the two of them.
Li Shimin let go of Li Shenfu's hand, bowed and said, "Uncle, in order to defeat the traitors, I had no choice but to do this. I hope my uncle will blame me."
Li Shenfu looked at Li Shimin with regret. This is a wolf that can even betray a teacher. Why did he forget to be careful?
At this time, facing an army that looked like wolves and tigers, Li Shenfu couldn't refuse, so he had to say: "To fight against thieves for the country and avenge my brother are the things that should be done. I just want the people of the world to go ahead and wait for the matter to be dealt with." After the Luzhou incident, we will follow you. Since the people of the world are so anxious, I will go with you."
Li Shimin quickly said: "My nephew is wrong."
Although it sounds nice, butHowever, Li Shimin detained Li Shenfu in the army, and asked people to carry Li Shenfu's seal to Luzhou to receive the army. At the same time, he also brought Li Shenfu's family records to the army.
Li Shenfu saw that even his second son Li Demao had been brought, and knew that he was unable to resist, so he had no choice but to stay in Li Shimin's army.
Li Shimin ordered Zhang Shigui to take over the troops in Luzhou, and then took away all the 8,000 troops in the city, leaving only the city of Luzhou, which was managed by his confidant Lan Mou.
Li Shimin¡¯s main force went upstream along the Luoshui River (today¡¯s Tuojiang River in Sichuan).
Going north from Luzhou is Zizhou.
Tian Liuan, the governor of Zizhou, was originally from Li Shimin.
Li Shimin has been leading the army for many years, and is no longer the novice he was before. Especially in the past two years, Li Shimin has some complaints about his father Li Yuan.
When something goes wrong, he is a good son, and he will take the blame when something goes wrong. He, Li Shimin, is like a brick, he can be used wherever he goes. No matter how good-tempered Li Shimin was, he still felt unhappy.
So Li Shimin took precautions in advance and arranged for his confidant Tian Liuan to be the governor of Zizhou.
It¡¯s not that Li Shimin is preparing to rebel, but that Li Shimin is worried about something happening in Chengdu. Whether it¡¯s related to Li Yuan or not, he also has a way to escape.
Although Bashu and Bashu are far away, they can actually be reached mainly via Zizhou.
Li Shimin has a very close relationship with Pei Ji, so it is not difficult to arrange a governor.
It¡¯s a pity that Zizhou did not become the main route for him to escape, but instead became the way for him to counterattack Chengdu.
Tian Liuan, the governor of Zizhou, had already received Li Shimin's letter and was ready. As soon as Li Shimin arrived, he changed the flag and became Li Shimin's vanguard army.
To the north of Zizhou is Yang'an County (which governs the northwest of Jianyang City, Sichuan Province today), which is the southeastern gateway of Shu County.
At this time, Li Jiancheng had been concentrating his troops to resist Li Yuanji and guard Chengdu City. He had no time to take care of the small counties below.
And these days, there has been no movement in the southwest. He was so confused by the people in the court and Li Yuanji that he forgot about Li Shimin.
So Li Shimin sent Tian Liuan and Gao Zhengsheng to make a surprise attack on Yang'an County that night. The city was unprepared and they captured Yang'an City with almost no fighting.
Li Shimin ordered Gao Zengsheng to rush to Dongyang Station in the southeast of Chengdu.
Dongyang Station is located at the foot of Fendong Mountain (now Longquan Mountain in the southeast of Chengdu Plain, Sichuan) and is an important transportation location from Chengdu to the southeast.
With Dongyang Station down, the entire city of Chengdu is under Li Shimin¡¯s feet. Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
