Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 314 Sudden
"I thought you were self-cultivating, but I didn't expect you to be a troublemaker."

Princess Pingyang looked at the young man in front of her angrily and amusedly, "I heard from my second brother that you are usually gentle and refined, you are kind to others, and you put benevolence and righteousness first in everything. I didn't expect you to be so merciless."

Li Shan, who rarely came to visit today, curled his lips and leaned forward, "Others don't know, but the third sister doesn't know...The Luo family is too rampant!"

Princess Pingyang laughed heartily and nodded again and again. She is a female family member, and she has been found out for a long time. Luo Yang intends to marry the Qinghe Cui family... and recently in Chang'an City, Cui Xin is the only Qinghe Cui family who intends to choose a son-in-law.

"Before Sichang sent troops, I asked you to come and talk with me more often, but it's been more than a month, and I only came to the door today." Princess Pingyang teased: "Could it be that you invited me to be a matchmaker?"

"At that time, I really want to ask the third sister to be a matchmaker." Li Shan said with a smile...Now, that little lady Cui has been recognized as a dish on Li Shan's plate. In the words of some of the female relatives present, this pair of men and women is A natural fit!
Li Shan reckoned that the obstacles in the future would only be the Cui family itself... On the one hand, it was the impact of beheading Cui Bo back then, and on the other hand, it was a headache from that father-in-law.

After chatting for a while, Li Shan brought up the business.

Princess Pingyang was very surprised, "You want to release it?"

"Being an official at the beginning, as a county magistrate, it is most appropriate to appease the local area." Li Shan said softly: "It's just that my uncle pointed out that I will join the Six Departments, but my younger brother still wants to go out to sharpen, and I also invite the third sister to come forward."

How to get along with Princess Pingyang, Li Shan has thought about it for a long time... The kindness of life-saving grace cannot be wasted casually.

But Ling Jing's words awakened Li Shan. If he didn't ask for help, Princess Pingyang might be puzzled... The longer the time, the heavier the doubts.

On the contrary, asking for help from time to time because of some trivial matters will help deepen the relationship between the two parties... For example, this time, Princess Pingyang happened to be used.

"Being a county magistrate...is appropriate." Princess Pingyang thought for a while, "Where do you want to go..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside, "Your Highness, Your Majesty summoned you!"

A thin female guard walked in quickly, "Jiangnan urgent report, Huainan Daoxingtai Shangshu Zuopu Shefu Gong Er rebelled and occupied Danyang."

Princess Pingyang stood up abruptly, with a solemn expression... Uh, Li Shan was very calm, just thinking that he, a traveler, had never interfered in the Jiangnan area, so he should follow the historical track, right?
The name Fu Gong Er... Li Shan also had some impressions, it basically contributed to Li Jing's reputation.

But Princess Pingyang didn't think so, neither did the courtiers and even the sage Li Yuan... The most direct proof is that under normal circumstances, Li Yuan would not summon Princess Pingyang when discussing matters in the Hall of Erectile Dysfunction.

For a woman to enter the Hall of Liangyi, none of the important officials in the court has any objection, and everyone knows the importance of Princess Pingyang...whether it is the weight in His Majesty's heart or the weight in the army.

"On July [-]th, the Minister of Huainan Road Xingtai Zuo Pu She Fu Gong Er set up troops in Danyang, moved into Chen Palace, and set up a hundred officials. The Jianghuai Army has already rebelled." reported, assisted Gong Er to establish himself as Emperor Song, and called Zhang Shan'an to be the Daxingtai of the Southwest Road."

Li Yuan had some headaches. Zhang Shan'an was a bandit in the late Sui Dynasty. He joined Lin Shihong and later rebelled, attacked Huainan, and occupied Wuzhou.

But only one year later, in March of this year, troops rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and successively captured Shuzhou and Sunzhou. King Li Xiaogong of Zhao County dispatched troops, but he was still unable to defeat the rebels... In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and Fugong Er's army rebelled, and the two rebels happened to be bordering each other. For a while, I was afraid that the south of the Yangtze River would be shaken.

Princess Pingyang ignored those courtiers and only glanced at the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji.

Li Jiancheng looked solemn. Since Liu Heitai took office at the end of last year, it seems that the world has been settled, but in fact there are still many rebellions and wars. Incidents have also occurred in Southwest, Hedong, Longyou, Huainan, and now Jiangnan.

But unlike other rebellions, the Jianghuai Army controlled a fairly wide area. Du Fuwei defeated and annexed Li Zitong and Shen Faxing successively, occupying almost the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. From Danyang to the south and east, the Jianghuai Army's sphere of influence.

The so-called Danyang was the later Nanjing.

The point is that the Tang Army has never confronted the Jianghuai Army... and the latter is one of the most powerful troops in the world, and is familiar with the terrain of Jiangnan, so the Tang Army may not be able to get a bargain.

Li Shimin sat there quietly, and he also knew that unless Fu Gong Er could cross the Yangtze River and fight all the way to the Yellow River, threatening the Eastern Shaanxi Road and the Hebei Road, otherwise he would have no possibility of leading the army.

On the contrary, Li Yuanji, king of Qi, was eager to try and spoke frequently, as if he had an attempt to lead the army.

Princess Pingyang glanced at Li Yuanji and shook her head slightly. It was impossible for her father to let Sanhu lead the army...not because of Sanhu's ability, but because of the current situation.

Since the third year of Wude, the Turks have been going south every year, and Hebei, Hedong, and Guanzhong have been subjected to Turkic invasion every year. This year, this wave has not yet started.

To the west, Tuyuhun invaded Longxi Road and broke through several prefectures. Chai Shao led the army to set off, but there has been no battle report yet.

More importantly, Chai Shao went out and changed the flag. If he could not return with a big victory, Jiangnan and Huainan rebelled, and the Turks took the opportunity to go south... The Li and Tang Dynasty, which had just ruled the world in name, was in a precarious state.

"We can't divide our troops in Guannei and Hedong, and we need to garrison troops to prepare for the Turks to go south." Chen Shuda, the servant, said slowly: "Hebei and Shandong were initially determined... For the current plan, the king of Zhaojun should attack them."

Pei Ji frowned and said: "Ping Liang, the king of Zhaojun, served as the left servant of Daoxingtai in Xiangzhou. He governed the area well, but he divided his troops to pacify Lingnan and other places. I'm afraid there will be insufficient troops under his command. The Jianghuai Army has more than [-] troops."

"Deploying troops from Lingnan Road, Jiaozhou, Quanzhou, Guizhou and other places have sufficient troops..."

Hearing what Li Jiancheng said, Li Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Li Shimin, "Erlang?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, and said softly: "Qizhou sent troops to take the Huai River, and they can reach the hinterland of Jianghuai."

"Li Shiji, the governor of Qizhou, was defeated in Hebei, so how can he take on the heavy responsibility?" Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "The governor of Xuzhou, Guan Guogong Ren Ziwei, is brave and good at fighting."

The others didn't make a sound... Uh, the main reason is that this scene has become commonplace. The crown prince and the King of Qin can quarrel over an ant on the ground, not to mention the leader of the army!

Li Yuan sighed. Of course he knew that Li Shiji was an old man from Wagang. Although he was persuaded by the prince of the East Palace, Wei Zheng, to surrender, he followed the army to sweep the Central Plains and made many meritorious deeds. ...In order to rescue Li Shiji, Li Shimin almost fell into the battle.

Although Li Shiji had never served in the Tiance Mansion, he is now recognized as a general of King Qin's lineage.

Another general manager of Xuzhou, Ren Gui, served as Hu Cao in Hedong County in the former Sui Dynasty. When Li Yuan and Li Shimin led the army to fight, their family members stayed in Hedong, and they were entrusted to Ren Gui to take care of them.

Li Jiancheng and Ren Gui had a pretty good relationship. During the Luoyang War, Ren Gui Chijie was the appeasement ambassador of Henan Province, but after the war, the Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province was set up. Ren Gui was squeezed out by Li Shimin and kicked to Xuzhou as the general manager.

After discussing for a long time, Li Yuan finally decided that Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao County, should control the troops, and dispatch Li Jing, the ambassador of Lingnan Road, Huang Junhan, the governor of Huaizhou, Li Shiji, the governor of Qizhou, Ren Gui, the governor of Xuzhou, and Zhou Faming, the governor of Huangzhou. Siege.

Just when the discussion was about to end, Crown Prince Li Jiancheng brought into the palace the Yan County King Luo Yi who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked intentionally or unintentionally, "I wonder if King Wu is still here?"

"After the Ministry of War got the battle report, Supervisor Pei sent people to investigate, and King Wu is still in the mansion." Chen Shuda glanced at Luo Yi, "After King Wu arrived in Beijing, he always lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with others."

Luo Yi frowned slightly, "Jianghuai Army was created by King Wu, and now all of them have rebelled... One day when a certain person entered Chang'an, King Wu walked in simple clothes. By the way, he had a close relationship with Li Shan in Dongshan."

As soon as the words fell, a clear female voice sounded, and Princess Pingyang suddenly stood up, "What do you mean by this?"

"The rebellion of the Jianghuai Army may be related to King Wu, but even if it was ordered by King Wu, what has Huairen to do with it?!"

The atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward. Li Yuan, who didn't know the inside story, glanced at Li Jiancheng. The latter covered his face and regretted bringing Luo Yi to Liangyi Hall... You want to trouble Li Shan, can you change the occasion?

At least, not in front of Third Sister, right? !
