Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 171 Tags
Li Shimin's calculations were quite accurate. At this moment, Wei Zheng and Cui Hao were in Heyin, witnessing the grain transport fleet on the Yellow River heading northeast under the setting sun.

Li Jiancheng has a good saying that the king of Qi has not done nothing in the past two months. A large amount of grain and grass have been collected on both sides of the Yellow River, and now they are continuously being transported to Weizhou and Weizhou. Yongji Canal, Luoshui and Jishui turn to the whole Hebei Road.

Regarding this, Wei Zheng didn't have much to say, and even had to pinch his nose to praise Yu Zhining, the Shangshu Zuo Cheng of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province who presided over it... Uh, in the name of the envoy who patrolled Hebei and appeases Shandong.

Previously, the king of Qi led the army to stand still and only focused on collecting grain and grass. After the great victory in Wei County, Yu Zhining and Han Liang could only transport small batches of grain and grass into Weizhou by other means until the sage ordered Daxingtai, Shandong Road Transport grain and grass into Hebei.

However, Li Yuanji himself... the sage Li Yuan ordered him to return to the capital, and he left the [-] army regardless, and returned to Beijing in a short time. Even most of the officials of the Qi Palace returned to Beijing, leaving only Chang'an Ling Li Ganyou.

"More than a month ago, Liu Heita broke through Dingzhou and went south, sweeping half of Hebei, but he was defeated and died." Li Qianyou looked calm, he was completely disappointed in Li Yuanji.

Think about it, the army station is only two days away from Weizhou. If you rush, you can get there in one day, but Li Yuanji only cares about hunting every day. There are few prey in the mountains and forests. The news still came from Beijing.

However, it can also be concluded from this that the King of Qin must have intervened... The battle report must have bypassed the army station and headed north. Without the tacit consent of the officials of Eastern Shaanxi Province to block it, the news would not have leaked out at all.

Wei Zheng put his hands in his sleeves to keep warm, his expression was a bit gloomy, "Cheng Mingzhen beheaded Liu Heitai, and made him a county prince...the reward is a bit low."

It had been several days, and when Wei Zheng arrived on Shandong Road, the details of the battle in Hebei had already spread. In fact, the victory in Wei County was not limited to Li Daoxuan, Tian Liuan, Qi Shanxing, and Cheng Mingzhen, the general manager of Weizhou, also led the attack.

In other words, if Cheng Mingzhen's name was mentioned in the first victory report, Donggong would probably become vigilant... Whatever else, at least Cheng Mingzhen would not be the governor of Luozhou, the capital of Hebei Province.

Before Wei Zheng left Beijing, the East Palace was still uncertain, but now Wei Zheng is completely sure... The war in Hebei may have been a coincidence, but it was more of the Qin King's method.

This trip to Shandong, the future is uncertain... Wei Zheng sighed in his heart, and changed the subject, "Ganyou, speaking of this time, you also have the merit of recommending it."

"The merit of recommendation?"

"Isn't Li Shan your accompanying army?"

Li Ganyou was startled, "He is now..."

"The great victory in Wei County was led by Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan, followed by Tian Liu'an, Qi Shanxing, and Cheng Mingzhen, but it is said that it was Li Shan's plan."

At this moment, Li Ganyou doesn't have the demeanor of a child from an aristocratic family. His mouth can be opened to stuff a goose egg... No, it's a camel egg!
"The great victory in Wei County...was planned by Li Shan?" Li Ganyou's voice was a little dry, "Didn't he go to Jizhou?"

Gossip about Li Shan was flying all over the city of Chang'an, and Wei Zheng was not sure about the reason, so he just said in a low voice, "It's Li Kai, the son of Li Keshi, who made him famous in Beijing, I don't know if it's true..."

"Demou... how did he know the inside story of the Hebei war?" Li Ganyou gasped, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

Li Kai left Beijing to go to Hebei Road, and his whereabouts were hidden, few outsiders knew about it.

After the two were silent for a while, they both felt a lot of emotion... They were forced to carry grain northward, but there was no news, thinking that he died in the rebellion, but unexpectedly they worked hard to turn the tide, objectively prevented the Eastern Palace from conquering, and made the crown prince ashamed... Anyway, Wei Zheng thought it was objective.

After chatting for a while, Li Ganyou quickly understood what Wei Zheng meant... The East Palace had the intention of soliciting, and even borrowed Li Shan's help in appeasement of Shandong.

Li Ganyou was very upset, he had finally brought Li Shan with the army, and the King of Qi had personally ordered him to recruit him before, but unexpectedly he had never even met him formally.

Both the crown prince and the King of Qin wanted to recruit, but the King of Qi was so careless... If it wasn't for his helplessness, Li Ganyou really wanted to quit his job and leave to seek freedom.

However, after a short period of boredom, Li Qianyou was also delighted at Li Shan's surviving and meritorious service, "Although Li Shan has not yet been crowned, he is knowledgeable and talented, and he will be a pillar of the court in the future."

Wei Zheng nodded, satisfied with Li Qianyou's answer... A pillar in the court, this is Li Qianyou's acquiescing Donggong's solicitation of Li Shan.

Now Li Shan has a lot of labels, but the most eye-catching thing is not his mixed talents, nor his friendship with the children of Prince Qin's mansion, nor the so-called Gewürztraminer, but the Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi. friendship.

In the early Tang Dynasty, among the seven families with five surnames, the Li family in Longxi was considered the first class, and the Li family in Zhaojun was suppressed by it. Although Zheng in Xingyang belonged to the family of the prince's wife, there were few outstanding talents in this generation except Taichangqing Zheng Yuanxuan.

King Taiyuan and Fan Yanglu were both in decline, while Boling Cui and Qinghe Cui had yet to reach their heyday in the Tang Dynasty.

Hedong Wenxi Pei family, Jingzhao Wei family, and Du family are all in the expansion period. The five surnames and seven families who can stand against them are the Longxi Li family, and the Danyang family is the most outstanding... During the Taizong and Gaozong years of history, only There were two prime ministers in the Danyang room.

Li Shan's friendship with Li Kai and Li Zhaode has already attracted attention among the younger generation. After contacting Li Qianyou and Li Keshi, this label on Li Shan can no longer be removed... What's more, this time Li Kai and several Brothers are raving about Li Shan.

Many people are speculating that Li Shan may be a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, and some even speculate that Li Shan may be the apprentice of Li Yaoshi, who is currently leading the army to appease the south of the Yangtze River.

If this young man who has an inexplicable relationship with the Li family's Danyang house in Longxi can be called into the East Palace, Wei Zheng believes that it will definitely benefit the prince... at least it will play a role in appeasing Shandong.

This Shandong celebrity has a lot of affection for the young man who once rescued him. He talked about the war in Hebei frequently more than a month ago... What surprised him was the analysis of the situation in Hebei, the prediction of the decision-making between the DPRK and China, and the Almost all possible options have been confirmed.

The East Palace did intend to conquest in person... The difference is that Liu Heitai was suddenly defeated and died when he had an absolute advantage in military strength.

Wei Zheng thought to himself, what role did Li Shan play in the Hebei War?

In the early morning of the second day, Li Ganyou, who had been idle for two months after leaving Beijing, set off to return to Beijing. Wei Zheng and Cui Hao went north by boat and rested overnight in Liyang, Weizhou. On the third day, they turned into Yongji Canal and continued northward. Wei County.

This day is Wude five years, November 21st.

Outside the city of Wei County, in the captive camp, Wei Zheng saw a dense crowd.

The setting sun was like blood, and the strong wind was blowing against his face. Wei Zheng rubbed his forehead with his hand and squinted his eyes to look closely, but he saw the crowd not far away bowed down like weak grass in the wind, bowing to the figure that was tottering on horseback.

"That's..." Cui Hao was surprised.

After a moment of silence, Wei Zheng said softly, "This is Li Shan and Li Huairen."
