Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 619
Chang'an, the imperial city.

In the Linhu Hall, Li Yuan clapped his palms and laughed, and deliberately looked at Li Shimin, "Erlang jumped on his horse and swung his whip, criss-crossing the battlefield. From your perspective, how about a pharmacist?"

For the battle report sent yesterday, Li Yuan was ecstatic. On the one hand, Yanmen Pass was safe, Daizhou was safe, and Hedong was not looted by the Turks;

From the corner of Li Shimin's eyes, he glanced at Princess Pingyang, who had a face as frosty as frost, and replied with a smile: "Although he had no choice but to take risks rashly, but he bluffed and forced the Turks back. Father chose someone to get the law."

Li Jiancheng on the side praised, "I thought Daizhou was at fault, but unexpectedly Li Yaoshi has such arrogance."

If Li Jing heard this evaluation, it would be really mixed. If it weren't for fear of being blamed in the future, ghosts would not want to go north.

Li Yuan nodded to Li Jiancheng, "Da Lang also has vision, [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, resisting [-] Turkic cavalry, Er Zhu Yichen does not weaken the prestige of his ancestors."

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin and said with a smile, "Second brother is the same. The rebels raised their flags. If Li Demou and Li Yiyan hadn't led the army to help..."

Li Yuan also nodded, with a contented smile on his face. This was the most harmonious scene he had imagined...Er Zhu Yichen was a disciple of the Eastern Palace, and Li Kai and Li Yiyan were both recommended by the King of Qin. Li Jing, the general manager, obeys orders...

It can be said that since the Luoyang Hulao battle, similar scenes have hardly appeared... But in Daizhou, under Li Shan's command, a strange balance has been produced.

But Li Yuan forgot that the battle in Nao County was not just Li Jing, Er Zhu Yichen, Li Kai and Li Yiyan.

Li Shimin said seemingly unintentionally: "I heard that Xinxing County Marquis and Daizhou Sima both chased Turks and were injured, and..."

This sentence made Li Jiancheng restrain his smile, frowned, and stared at Li Shimin coldly.

The so-called Marquis of Xinxing County is Ma Sanbao, the general of Zuowuwei, and Zhu Yichen, the Sima of Daizhou
Er Zhu Yichen was originally a servant of Li Yuan, and his reputation was not high, but since he became the Sima of Daizhou, he first participated in the Yanmen Victory with Li Shan, and then led his troops to stop four thousand Turkic cavalry, which is already very important in Li Jiancheng's mind... ... These are the few generals who have made great achievements and have been recruited by the Eastern Palace.

However, Ma Sanbao and Erzhu Yichen led troops to pursue Ashina Sheer. Although they gained a lot, they were defeated in the end and both were injured.

The point is, these two people did not obey the military order, Li Jing has already released the military authority of the two men, detained them in the camp, and wrote a letter to declare...that is to say, these two men have backgrounds, and the Turks have retreated, otherwise Li Jing would have ordered the beheading to show the public.

Disrespecting military orders is a big taboo in the military, and it is replaced by this excuse... It is justified, but how can Li Jiancheng tolerate Er Zhu Yichen's resignation, and it is even more difficult to tolerate that Daizhou Sima may fall into the hands of King Qin.

"Leading the army to stop thousands of cavalry, and keeping the Yanmen Gate safe, such a great achievement..."

Before Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Li Yuan, who was in the first place, coughed hard... Li Shimin's words pointed out not only Er Zhu Yichen, but also Ma Sanbao.

The problem is not that Ma Sanbao did not obey the military order, but that Ma Sanbao sent a letter to Beijing about the details of the first battle in Nao County... Niu Bin was beheaded, but Guo Ziheng fled out of the fortress, and the news that Li Shan was trapped in Guji Town is likely to spread. Known by Jieli Khan.

Li Yuan's appearance in history is probably a lucky founding monarch, with a weak temperament and indecision... These are obviously the masks that the history books forcibly put on this man.

Sitting in Hedong, dispatching troops to Guanzhong at critical moments, quickly sweeping away Xiqin and Liu Wuzhou, pacifying the Qinling Mountains in one fell swoop, watching the Central Plains war, and then pacifying the Central Plains... All this requires an invincible commander like Li Shimin, as well as a very capable monarch.

In terms of temperament alone, Li Yuan is not that kind of soft-hearted person... Xia County turned the tables, Li Yuan ordered the massacre of the city, Liu Shirang once had the merit of saving the family, once he was unstable, Li Yuan was ready to abandon him.

But how to deal with Li Shan who was trapped outside the Great Wall, Li Yuan did show a side of indecision... As an emperor, he really didn't want Li Jing to lead his troops out of the Great Wall to rescue Guji Town... Who knows if it will turn defeat into victory?
But also in terms of the emperor's status, it is inappropriate for Li Shan, the acting governor Shi Handan King Li Shan, to rectify the Northland, relocate the people, appease Yuan Junzhang, and win the Yanmen Great Victory in the past year.

You must know that Guji Town is no better than Mayi, it has only been built for two months, and it cannot compare with Mayi in terms of defense strength, military strength, food and grass.

Can't help?
Not to mention Li Shan, Erlang's favorite general Zhang Shigui, and Dalang's favorite general Xue Wanche are all there. Just an hour ago, the daughter reminded... Wen Bang, the only remaining son of Wen Dayou, the former Duke of Qinghe County, was also trapped Guji Town.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan really had a headache, looked at his expressionless daughter, and asked tentatively, "Pingyang, how is Ma Sanbao injured?"

Princess Pingyang frowned, "Ma Sanbao sent a letter, Jieli Khan secretly dispatched [-] cavalry to attack Lanzhou through Loufan Pass, intending to attack Yanmen Pass from front to back."

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were both taken aback when they heard this. It's over, so what else to say?
But Li Shimin sensed something, he received a letter from Li Kai... Su Dingfang confessed everything, including Li Jing's refusal to send troops to help.

Princess Pingyang continued: "The Turks attacked Yanmen Pass fiercely. Huairen, who was far away in Guji Town, sent ten guards across the mountains to arrive at Yanmen Pass to inform Lou Fanguan. Su Ding then dispatched troops to lead the army southward with Zhu Yichen and Ma Sanbao. , in the south of Nao County, only by waiting for work at leisure can we stop the Turks."

"Although we are far away in Shuozhou, we are still making plans."

"Father, Huairen also made great contributions in this battle."

Li Yuan's headache was even worse. What his daughter meant was obvious. Li Shan had made some contributions in this battle alone. Could it be that he was just watching him die outside the Great Wall?
I didn't say no help, what's the rush!
Princess Pingyang turned her head and took a look, "Eldest and second brothers should know about this matter."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other and nodded in unison. Er Zhu Yichen had already written.

Li Jiancheng added: "I heard that the battle was stalemate, and it was difficult to divide the troops at Yanmen Pass. Li Demou recruited troops from Dai County, and thousands of young men attached to them, so that he could arrive in time and defeat the rebels."

"There are a lot of places that Huairen has graciously given..." Li Shimin coughed twice, "But now that the Turks are retreating, if they rush out of the frontier, I'm afraid..."

Sensing Princess Pingyang's cold gaze, Li Shimin quickly shut his mouth... I feel a little wronged, so let's just talk about it. If I don't say that, the guy opposite may object.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuan said in a low voice: "This time, Jieli Khan raised an army of more than [-] and failed to break through the pass. I'm afraid that the food and grass will not be enough, so he may not attack Guji Town..."

Before he could finish his sentence, there was an attendant outside walking quickly with his hands raised high.

Princess Pingyang was the first to reach out to take it, and her face changed after seeing it, "The scouts at Yanmen Pass have reported back, and a hundred thousand troops are besieging Guji Town."
