Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

The matter of Lingyan Pavilion has come to an end, although so far only Li Xiaogong, Li Huairen, and Dou Gui have been appointed for it, and there are still 24 vacancies, but the intention of Jianyan Lingyan Pavilion has been achieved.

In the final analysis, Li Shan's proposal of Lingyan Pavilion and Li Yuan's adoption of Lingyan Pavilion are nothing more than to get along with each other when discussing merit.

Now that there is the carrot of the list of meritorious officials in Lingyan Pavilion hanging in front of him, Li Yuan is not that harsh anymore. Although the scale of rewards for the generals cannot be compared with the Battle of Luoyang Hulao and the victory of Shuozhou the year before last, it is slightly higher than before. Some.

What's very interesting is that Li Yuan did not follow the order of the half-year fierce battle, nor did he divide the battles according to the size of the credit, but divided them according to the camp.

But for the evaluation of the general... No one in the Hall of Liangyi is more qualified than Li Shan, which is the main reason why Li Yuan summoned Li Shan to the Hall of Liangyi today.

"In the Battle of Jingzhou, Feng Li served as the deputy commander of the cavalry. He cooperated with King Huaiyang to block the main road on the right, and then followed Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang to break the formation. Military strategy, knowledge of warfare, and the support of soldiers, has the prestige of a parachutist, without the taint of a parachutist."

Pei Ji smiled and asked: "It seems that Feng Li will be able to reuse it when he conquers the grassland in the future."

"Pei Xiang misunderstood." Li Shan explained: "There is no pollution of the parachutist. It does not mean that he knows the direction, but that Feng Li does not allow the soldiers to plunder the place. He is clean and honest, but what he gains is always scattered. under his command."

In the former Han Dynasty, Li Guang and Zhou Yafu, two contemporaries, represented two completely different styles. Zhou Yafu paid attention to the rules, while Li Guang paid attention to the service of soldiers... So Li Guang often condoned his subordinates to plunder the frontier areas.

"Feng Li does have this ability." Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan, "I haven't had a title so far, maybe I can become a county prince?"

Li Yuan nodded, "It should be so, where is Xue Wanche?"

"Your Majesty should be arbitrary." Li Shan said solemnly: "Xue Wanche is brave in fighting, but he is arrogant and has defeated the Turks several times. He is proud of it. In future wars, he will not win a big victory, or he will be defeated."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, "Xue Wanche is similar to his brother Xue Wanjun, and seems to be aggressive."

Li Shan looked at Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, "Now Governor Xia is..."

"The prince washes Ma Xiao Deyan."

Li Shan's attitude is here. Xue Wanche is a brave general, but he is a bit restless. To put it bluntly, if he conquers the Turks in the future, he can be of great use, but if the Turks attack, he may not be able to hold his ground.

Li Yuan turned his head and glanced at Li Jiancheng, "Duke Jinjue, the Ministry of Rites will draw up the title later."

"Yes."

Pei Shiju glanced at Li Jiancheng, whose face was a little excited, and laughed in his heart. Xue Wanche entered the Duke, and it seemed that His Majesty was quite protective of the East Palace, but in fact, he was more concerned about Xue Wanche's guarding Xiazhou.

Even Pei Shiju, who was dark in his heart, speculated whether Li Yuan was using a strategy of delaying the attack... Li Jiancheng naively thought that he still had hope, but Pei Shiju never had such extravagant hopes.

After that, Li Shan named several generals from the East Palace, such as the prince Qianniu Li Zhian, who was led by Zuowuwei Youlang, who accompanied the army. No need to think about it... Li Yuan was going to control the opening of the title.

After talking about the Donggong side, it is natural to turn to King Qin. In fact, last year Li Shan led an army to go to war. Nai is an example, basically a soy saucer.

However, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Zheng Rentai, Qin Shubao, Zhang Cong and other confidant generals of the King of Qin did not go out with the army, so the first thing Li Shan mentioned was that he had a fight with Yuchigong yesterday, and then he was killed by Liu Heier. Duan Zhixuan was dizzy from the fall.

"Duan Zhixuan has a frivolous temperament, making it difficult for him to be a general." Li Shan suppressed it first and then raised it. He beheaded more than ten generals of the Liang Army in the Helan Great Victory, so he deserves to be a nobleman."

Li Yuan immediately nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, Master Yan mentioned that he should thank Huairen."

After returning to Beijing the year before last, Duan Yanshi's attitude towards Li Shan has changed again and again. At the beginning, he used Li Yuan's old friend's friendship to make small talk about Li Shan, but his attitude changed fundamentally after the battle of Tiantai Mountain. The change.

After the great victory in Jingzhou last year, Li Shan ordered Duan Zhixuan to pour wine for the generals at the celebration banquet. Duan Yanshi not only did not get angry, but joked about it in front of Li Yuan... This son of his family has been restless since he was a child. I can manage it.

"County Marquis..." Li Yuan pondered for a moment, "Let's go to Duke County, and save it for another day."

This is natural, after all, Duan Yanshi is now the Duke of Yidu County, and under normal circumstances, his son cannot surpass the Duke of the County to become the Duke of the Duke.

It is also for this reason that Li Kai was conferred the title of Marquis of Sanyuan after the three defeats of the Turks the year before last, and Li Keshi, who had no outstanding performance, was also conferred the title of Marquis of Sanyuan after the First World War in Tiantai Mountain last year.

Li Shan was thinking about this, Li Yuan asked Master Li Ke.

"Occasionally there is a small merit." Li Shan hesitated, and said with a smile: "I dare not hide it from your majesty, I have selfish intentions."

Chen Shuda nodded and said: "Back when Huairen first arrived in Chang'an, Master Li Ke and his son handed over to each other... I remember Huairen mentioned that during the Shandong war, the guards around him were all generals of the Li family."

"Guo Pu." Li Shan said with a smile, "This time I will also go out with the army."

Both Li Yuan and Li Shimin knew that in terms of ability, compared with Li Yaoshi, Li Keshi was relatively mediocre, and the one who was more famous was his riding and shooting... After all, he was a "bird thief".

Therefore, when Li Shan was arranging troops, he refused to use Li Keshi in those more dangerous positions. On the one hand, it was because of his ability, and on the other hand, he was mainly afraid that Li Keshi would die in battle...Of course, this way , Li Keshi won't get much military exploits.

Li Yuan pondered for a while, "After all, Li Keshi led the light cavalry to chase away, and the assistants defeated the Liang army outside Tongwan City, and became the Duke of the county."

This may be due to the identity of Li Keshi... the younger brother of Li Jing, the Duke of Dai, his close relationship with Li Shan, and the brother-in-law of Qin Wang Li Shimin.

The lineage of the king of Qin did not get much benefit in this battle... For the others, Zhang Shigui basically played soy sauce in the battle of Jingzhou, not like Xue Wanche charged into the battle, Guo Xiaoke even made a fuss because he wrote a letter to impeach Li Shan joke.

However, there are many private benefits. Zhang Shigui won the governor of Yuanzhou, Guo Xiaoke was transferred to be the governor of Lingzhou, and Li Mengchang was appointed as the governor of Longzhou, so that the lineage of King Qin could firmly control the west side of Guanzhong.
