After Li Yuan entered Bashu, he did not enter the deep mountains and the dragon returned to the sea as he imagined.

At this time, the entire Bashu had been divided by the Guanlong family. Although more than 30 counties had all fallen, many counties were just nominal support. The original prefect and county magistrate still held the power, and many counties followed the command and not the proclamation.

Li Yuan had no choice but to do this.

Bashu surrendered in name, and it was not his face.

Li Yuan lost Guanzhong and his main force was almost completely lost. Although he was still the prime minister, King Tang, if he wanted to sit firmly under his butt, he had to gain the support of the Guanlong family. Otherwise, he would be unable to move forward in the land of Bashu.

In order to win people's hearts as much as possible, Li Yuan continued to use his ability to be appointed as an official, and after entering Shu, he was appointed as an official.

The old subordinates who fled to Bashu wanted to be enfeoffed, which was a loyal minister; the Guanlong people in Bashu wanted to be enfeoffed, which was the foundation; the aristocratic families in Bashu wanted to be enfeoffed, which was the most important link to maintain stability within Bashu; the barbarians who were willing to surrender around Bashu also wanted to be enfeoffed, which was an important link to stabilize the four realms.

For this reason, Li Yuan granted more than 50 Dukes of the Kingdom and more than 100 county dukes. The entire Chengdu small court truly became Dukes of the Kingdom and was not as good as dogs.

However, with this move, Li Yuan barely maintained the situation in Bashu and gained support from Guanlong and the locals.

Li Yuan then began to take Shu County as the core to collect rights, gather the people, and accumulate wealth.

Politically, Li Yuan simplified the punishment and formulated a new law, "only killing people, robbing robbers, and backing the army, and the rebels died", and the rest were eliminated. In terms of employment, Li Yuan selected talents and recruited talents. In terms of military, he strengthened military preparations, vigorously promoted the system of government troops in Bashu, and combined military agriculture to reduce military expenditures. In terms of economics, he encouraged farming and sericulture, paid tuition and thrift, promoted frugality, and prohibited slaughtering. In terms of taxes and service, he initially decided to equalize land rent, mediocre, and adjusted laws, and promoted rent and mediocre system. In terms of currency system, the old Sui coins were abolished, followed the strict regulations of the Wuzhu of the Western Han Dynasty, and minted new coins.

Li Yuan himself humbly accepted advice, set an example, and practiced frugality.

After the implementation of a number of systems and the painstaking management of Li Yuan, within one year, Li Tang's management system in Bashu began to be successfully built, and taxes and soldiers began to flow into Li Yuan's hands.

By the end of the year, Li Yuan had already had 80,000 soldiers available, and his influence and control over Bashu were greatly enhanced.

Seeing that the civil governance had played a role, Li Yuan was preparing to expose fangs to the surrounding area to achieve the goal of stabilizing the interior and gathering military power.

The first person Li Yuan took action was the Kaizhou Man in the west. At this time, Kaizhou, Tongzhou, Kuizhou, Guizhou were all trapped, and the gate to the east of Li Tang was all opened. Li Yuan was eager to close the door.

For ethnic minorities in the southwest region, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were mostly called barbarians and liang. These people came to support in a complex manner, with a wide range of distribution, and did not follow the king's transformation, and surrendered and rebelled. They were a time bomb for the Central Plains dynasty to govern the southwest region.

Kaizhou Man is a branch of the monks.

Qin combined the world, and thought it was Qianzhong County, so he paid for the people with little money. The people of Ba (di) called the tuition as the tuition, so he was named after it. This nation was brave and fierce, and was good at singing and dancing.

The monks were defeated by Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms and gradually declined, but after the Kaizhou Man entered the Sui Dynasty, he surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty and gradually revived.

After the chaos in the world, Ran Zhao, the leader of Kaizhou barbarians, occupied Shengshan County (now Kaizhou District, Chongqing City). After Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong, he pacified Bashu to promote the revenge of Bashu and appointed the other party as the governor of Kaizhou.

Originally, Ran Zhaoze just occupied one place and became his local emperor, but the general trend of the world became too fast, giving Ran Zhaoze the opportunity.

When the Great Sui Dynasty and Li Tang were fighting fiercely in Guanzhong, Xiao Xian ordered his cousin, King Xiao Jieti of Dongping, to attack Bashu.

Xiao Jieti was originally the county magistrate of Yun'an (now Yunyang County, Chongqing). After Xiao Xian rebelled, he also raised the anti-bank in Yun'an. However, Yun'an alone did not have much advantage, and no one in the Bashu family was willing to support Xiao's family, so Xiao Jieti could only be regarded as a so-called guy in Bashu.

After the Guanzhong War, Li Tang's attention was all in Guanzhong, so Xiao Jieti took the opportunity to send people to persuade Ran Zhaoze to surrender and promised to hand over the entire Ba land to the Kaizhou man.

Ran Zhaoze had long wanted to revive Ba and become his Ba King. Seeing that Li Tang was weak, he decisively colluded with Xiao Jieti to rebel against Tang.

At this time, Chen Yanshou, who was responsible for Xuanfushannan, was in the direction of Nanyang; Li Xiaogong, who was responsible for Xuanfusing, was insufficient troops, and his attention was still in the direction of Hanzhong, and no one paid attention to Kaizhou. So after Ran Zhaoze started the incident, he took advantage of the inadvertent Li Tang, and Xiao Jieti and Ran Zhaoze conquered Tongzhou (Tonghua County), Kuizhou, and Guizhou, with the troops heading directly to Jiangling. If Xu Shao, a classmate of the governor of Jiuzhou, defended Yiling City to death and defeated Liang general Chen Puhuan in Xiling Gorge, the entire east of Bashu would have been lost.

Even so, there was only Yiling City left on the east side of Li Tang that bordered Xiaoliang. Liyang, Wuling and other counties who had surrendered to Li Tang earlier, surrendered to Xiao Xian one after another.

Li Tang established more than 40 states in Bashu. It was not important to lose several states. But the key is that the reason why Bashu is easy to defend and difficult to attack is because it is a whole, with a country of Tianfu in the middle and surrounded by mountains outside. Although he has only lost several states, the defense in the east is completely broken and the empty door is wide open.

The army in the east can go up the river and go west from Kuizhou, with no danger to rely on. Xiaoliang relies on the powerful naval army to fight all the way to Chengdu.

The loyalty of the Bashu people who were reluctant to be loyal to Li Tang was worthless in front of the military front.

For Li Yuan, this situation was unbearable for him. He had to take back Kuizhou and completely block the road to Sichuan.

So Li Yuan ordered his nephew Li Xiaogong to attack Kuizhou from Yuzhou and then ordered his nephew Li Rong to attack Tongzhou from the east of Langzhou. The two routes advanced at the same time, and jointly attacked Xiao Jieti and the Kaizhou barbarians.

Since the Battle of Guanzhong, Li Yuan has trusted his family members more. Generals from the side surname cannot obtain any military power.

Li Yuan also has his own opinion. Dou Kang is his elder brother-in-law, and Dugu Huaien is his cousin. Both of them can betray him, let alone others.

As for Li Youliang's affairs, he forgot about it.

However, Li Yuan's attitude cannot be said to be outstanding. Nowadays, the family is in the same way as the family, and they all prosper and lose both. Therefore, Li Xiaoji, Li Shuliang and others will fight to the death.

At this time, the third generation of the Li family had almost died, leaving only the two brothers Li Yuan and Li Shentong, so the fourth generation began to appear on the stage of history.

However, compared with the third generation, the fourth generation is young and inexperienced, and is mostly people of sudden high positions, and many people are not good at leading the army.

Li Jing and Li Xiaogong brothers advanced together. First, Li Xiaogong was blocked by Xiao Jieti in Wanzhou, and then Li Jing was defeated at the city of Tongzhou and suffered heavy losses.
