Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Wei Zheng and the prince have different views on the general manager of Daizhou, especially Li Jing.

In the first room in Danyang of the Li family in Longxi, there were five Li Jing brothers, among them Li Yaowang and Li Zhengming died of illness in the previous Sui Dynasty, Li Keshi entered the Tiance Mansion, and Li Ganyou entered the Qi Palace.

Under such circumstances, it is unlikely and unnecessary for Li Yaoshi to join King Qin's command.

Su Dingfang took a few glances at Wei Zheng. Although he was not good at this aspect, he could faintly feel that the prince had no good intentions in washing his horse.

But Zhang Shigui saw it more clearly, and after pondering for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Six thousand Tang troops went straight to the Great Wall, the lone army went deep, and the food and grass were scarce, so His Highness attacked Zuoyun County to make up for it."

The faces of Li Daozong, Dou Jing and Wei Zheng all changed. The first two people were worried about Li Shan. Everyone knew very well what the so-called breaking the city meant. Such a great victory inevitably cast a shadow.

But Wei Zheng stroked his goatee suspiciously. Was it really for food, or did Li Huairen do it deliberately... Judging from the things he got along with in Shandong back then, this young county king had deep thoughts.

In the afternoon of the same day, the generals ignored Li Shan's objection and insisted on sending him back to Yanmen Pass, leaving Zhang Shigui, Liu Shirang and others to deal with the funeral of Guji Town.

In addition to clearing up the battlefield, the key point is that so many corpses of soldiers must be sent home, and the generals dare not let Li Shan witness it with their own eyes, so that their hearts will be broken.

When the carriage arrived at Yanmen Pass, everyone inside and outside the pass was solemn and respectful. When Li Shan got off the carriage with the support of Wang Junhao and Zhu Wei, Lin Dajun fell to the ground one after another like a weak grass in the wind.

When Li Shan went to Daizhou, the Daizhou Army was founded by him alone. Although he generously rewarded food and clothing, treated the government soldiers with kindness, and planned to build a wounded barracks, in fact, his influence in the army was mainly reflected by Su Dingfang. It's not military in itself.

But in this battle, Li Shan fought to the death several times.

Seeing this scene, Li Jing's face was ashen and defeated. He was sure that even if the young county king returned to the court, he would have difficulty eradicating the opponent's influence in Daizhou, let alone replace his position in the hearts of the military and civilians in Daizhou.

Li Daozong, who was standing by the side, looked at it with a smile, thinking that Huairen is somewhat similar to the second brother. Although the two martial arts are far apart, their temperaments are similar. Even this battle is very similar to the battle of Baibi back then. .

In the first battle of Baibi, the second brother also could not hold on, and sent a partial division to cut off the grain road. When Song Jingang was withdrawing, he attacked suddenly and defeated the enemy. Like Li Shan, he chose cavalry to go north to pursue them. The land of the river east.

After returning to Yanmen Pass, the first thing Li Shan did was to submit the victory report. Without the seal of the governor of Daizhou, he sent the victory report to Beijing in the name of Daizhou Governor Shi, Daizhou Sima, and Daizhou Biejia.

When Li Shan returned to Dai County the next day, the news that the King of Handan had broken the Turks three times had spread to Daizhou and Jizhou. [-] horses, and two Khan flags were captured, almost the whole people were in an uproar.

Jieli Khan led his army to invade Hedong many times, and often plundered Daizhou, took the town of Jizhou, and sent a large army south to loot the various prefectures in Hedong. , First captured Yugushe alive, and this time he defeated Jieli. Many people have already called him the nemesis of the Turks.

Li Shan lay tired on the bed, forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't die."

Li Kai at the bedside felt that this sentence was vaguely familiar. By the way, Li Shan had just met again in the battle. The red-eyed Li Shan used this sentence to block all his words back. Cease.

"Six thousand cavalrymen defeated tens of thousands of Turkic elites, and the Daizhou Army can be called a strong army." Wei Zheng rarely showed a smile, "Huiren was born in Daizhou and made outstanding achievements. Your Majesty will definitely reward him."

Li Shan murmured unconsciously, glanced at Wei Zheng's face out of the corner of his eye, and said with a half-smile, "Maybe you can be promoted to the rank?"

Li Daozong, who was sitting a little further away, was drinking tea, and coughed for a while after being choked by this sentence, don't be kidding, there are only princes above the county king, and only princes have this qualification.

Li Kai faintly sensed Wei Zheng's intentions, stood up and said, "Huai Ren, let's rest first, Brother Jun Hao take care of you... Uh, send two maidservants over later."

Li Daozong was ignorant before, but he knew the inside story through Zhang Baoxiang two days ago, he immediately got up and said: "This time we broke through the Turks and captured nearly [-] war horses, Huairen can't be stingy."

"Brother Dao Zong was joking." Li Shan forced a smile, "You can choose as much as you want...uh, you can choose a lot."

Li Daozong was stunned for a moment before he nodded with a smile, glanced at Wei Zheng who was sitting there, thinking that Li Shan didn't want to make Li Jing too cheap.

Naturally, Wei Zheng understood the implication, and when Li Kai and Li Daozong ignored Wang Junhao's presence, they leaned forward and said in a low voice, "With such meritorious service, you can't be promoted to a noble, and it's difficult to enter the three provinces when you return to the court. You can only be promoted. "

Li Shan waved his hand to signal Wang Junhao to back down, then shook his head and said: "This battle, I'm covered in wounds, I should go back to Chang'an to recuperate."

Although Wei Zheng had guessed Li Shan's choice, he still couldn't help being disappointed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The prince Zhongyun, Wang Shujie, and the servant Pei Hongda's letter... Huairen and the pharmacist..."

Hearing Pei Shiju's name, the corner of Li Shan's mouth twitched slightly, "The prince is interested... I will promise it."

Wei Zheng's spirit shook, "The crown prince didn't mean it, it's just that Li Yaoshi is a famous general in the world, Huairen has made great achievements in this battle, there is no point in fighting..."

Hearing this, Li Shan couldn't bear it anymore, and stretched out his hand to make a stop...What kind of internal fighting, can you explain it more clearly?
From a political point of view, both he and Li Jing were promoted by Li Yuanjian, which is indeed an internal struggle, but Wei Zheng deliberately said this, and it was nothing more than a faint solicitation for the prince.

"Last year in Beijing, I already mentioned that when the crown prince ascends the throne, I will be loyal to you." Li Shan sighed: "Brother Xuan Cheng, my younger brother has the trust of a sage and is on good terms with Princess Pingyang. As long as you act cautiously, you will be safe. Why does Brother Xuan Cheng insist on dragging my younger brother into the whirlpool?"

"It's nothing more than King Qin's prestige in the army is too high, and my younger brother has defeated the Turks in this battle. If the head of the Daizhou Army who is in charge of the Daizhou Army is thrown into the Eastern Palace..."

"but……"

Tears welled up in the corners of Li Shan's eyes, "Three thousand soldiers, hundreds of guards, voices and appearances are still in front of my eyes, but I can only send their bones back home..."

"Father loses son, son loses father, wife loses husband..."

"Little brother is physically and mentally hurt..."

"I only wish to go back to Beijing to recuperate, and to spend my days idle..."

Wei Zheng half-believed half-truths and half-false words, but he could only sigh and shut up after talking so much, thinking that the result was not too bad, at least Li Shan agreed to ease the relationship with Li Jing.
