Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Inside the Hall of Liangyi, Li Yuan leaned on the couch with a smile that was not a smile, his eyes fell on the letter paper in his hand, he shook his head sometimes, and nodded sometimes.

The prince and King Qin below are fine, but Qi Wang Li Yuanji couldn't help but glance at Princess Pingyang standing beside Li Yuan, thinking about something in his heart.

The chancellors who were a few steps away were listening quietly, listening to the Zhongshu order Feng Lun to recite the memorial to Daizhou. Among them, Pei Ji looked at the expression of Prince Li Jiancheng from time to time, while Pei Shiju closed his eyes slightly, his gray eyebrows raised from time to time.

"On June [-]th, I sent Zhonglang general Su Dingfang, Shuozhou soldier Cao Canjun and Zhang Zhongjian to attack the Great Wall, drive out the Turks, and trap them by the Cangtou River."

"In the next day's battle, the generals fought bravely and killed more than ten generals of Ashina. Zhang Shigui, the Duke of Xinye County, and Hou Kanling of Linji County led more than a thousand cavalry to attack from the north. Su Dingfang and Liu Shirang came out with heavy cavalry to drive out The Turks rolled the bead curtain upside down, and Jieli fled to the north after being defeated."

Feng Lun paused for a moment, then raised his head to glance at Li Yuan's expression, "The Cangtou river is completely red, and the corpses are clogged..."

There was silence in the hall. An hour ago, the good news sent by acting governor Shi Handan Wang Li Shan arrived in Chang'an, causing a sensation in the court. Who would have thought that Jieli Khan, who had threatened the Tang Dynasty all these years, led an army of 20 to the south, and finally returned in such a disastrous defeat.

But at the same time, many people noticed something strange, because it was Handan King Li Shan who sent the good news, not Li Jing, the governor of Daizhou... For example, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin were all heartbroken, and those two guys were completely torn apart.

However, he fought against the Turkic Khanate, defeated Jieli three times, beheaded more than [-] people, captured three Khan flags, and captured many generals Ashina Sheer and Ashina Simo alive. Feel like a splitting headache.

This is enough to boast about the military achievements of later generations. Li Yuan believed that if he sent a famous doctor to the north, Li Shan would definitely ask him to return to the court, but this means that Li Yuan chose Li Jing... There must be a gap between the monarch and his ministers.

It doesn't matter if it was before, but today's battle report is too heavy, and even Li Yuan needs to reconsider it. Perhaps Li Shan is the most suitable candidate for acting state governor.

At this moment, Princess Pingyang suddenly appeared and handed Li Yuan an unopened letter.

Seizing the army in anger, chasing and killing the Turks, almost endlessly, beheading three thousand captives to build a capital, this is very in line with the temperament of a young general, but after that he is thoughtful, advances and retreats, really not like a young man... ...Li Yuan revealed a smile on his lips, and suddenly raised his head, "Feng Qing?"

Feng Lun coughed twice, "Your Majesty, after that is the list of meritorious service for the leading generals."

"The first meritorious service includes Yiyang County Lord Liu Shirang, Daizhou Biejia Zhang Gongjin, and Zuowuwei Zhonglang General Su Dingfang."

"Second meritorious service includes Xue Wanche, deputy chief of Daizhou cavalry, Xue Wanjun, general of Zuowuwei, Zhang Shigui, governor of Xinye County, Qin Wutong, Sima of Shuozhou, Zhang Baoxiang, deputy chief of Bingzhou cavalry, and Li Kai, deputy county magistrate."

"Once again there is..."

Li Yuan glanced at Princess Pingyang dumbfounded, that servant was a good means, he almost wiped out all the people, it can be said that he has the morale of the army, and the pharmacist is really weak, no wonder he was so easily captured by others.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other, and there was nothing to say. Even the name of Hou Kanling of Linji County was on it. Can hardly command anyone.

After Feng Lun finished reading a long list, Chen Shuda, the servant of the province, suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, Lu Chengji, the state recorder and military officer, and Li Yiyan, the county magistrate, wrote a letter to impeach the King of Handan."

"Oh?" Li Yuan glanced down at the letter paper, and asked casually, "What about impeachment?"

"Lu Chengji impeached the King of Handan for killing captives after the war." Chen Shuda's eyeballs turned to the right and then to the left, "Li Yiyan impeached the King of Handan and ransacked Zuoyun County."

Li Yuan smacked his lips, turned his head left and right, looked at the Crown Prince, then at the King of Qin, thinking that Huairen is really not easy, this kind of thing needs to be thought out carefully, let the officials of the East Palace and the King of Qin come down to impeach him.

The group of old foxes below couldn't understand what it meant, Yang Gongren smiled and recalled in his heart, as if Da Lang mentioned that Lu Chengji, Li Yiyan and King Handan were Jinshi of the same discipline and had always been friends.

Pei Ji came out at the right time, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the King of Handan has made great achievements in battle, but he is too young, so he needs some advice from His Majesty."

"Jian Pei is right." Li Yuan said with a smile, "However, Huai Ren fought hard for several days and suffered many injuries... Da Lang, select a famous doctor from the Imperial Medical Office and go north immediately."

Li Jiancheng should have been in a daze. Do you still want to imply that Li Shan will return to the court?
But Li Shimin, who knew it well in his heart, kept silent, and Li Shan's various decisions had been transferred through Ling Jing.

After a while, the ministers retreated one by one, and Li Yuan handed over the letter in his hand for the three sons to read.

The content of the letter is not much, summed up about three points.

First, he scolded Li Jing, and the three thousand soldiers were almost wiped out. This is almost a tactful explanation... It's not that I want to take advantage of the army, but I just don't want Li Jing, a bastard, to take advantage of it.

Second, asking for credit for the generals under his command, Li Yuan and others can naturally understand that there is no benefit, and the names on this memorial will not be so complete.

Third, he was covered in bruises all over his body, so please go back to the court to recuperate.

In general, Li Shan pointed the spearhead at Li Jing alone, with a posture of being incompatible, but in fact he took a step back at the same time. Asking to go back to the court to recuperate means that he does not covet the position of acting state governor, and even Li Shan himself Please go back to the court and bring Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian and other direct descendants to show that you don't want to overshadow Li Jing.

There is a limit to advancing and retreating... Li Shimin also thought of this word. On the one hand, he was covered in bruises and asked to return to the court. On the other hand, he killed prisoners without permission and ransacked Zuoyun County.

Li Shimin suddenly realized that Li Shan's action might have other meanings. Whether Li Shan was called back to the court because of his impeachment, or because of his injury... can largely determine Li Yuan's attitude towards him. .

After all, Li Jing also rose from the sage, also did not attach himself to the East Palace and Qin Palace, and was also a general of the sage's direct line.

Li Shimin guessed in the future... what Li Shan might do against Li Jing.

Li Shan, Li Jing... Li Shimin was a little itchy. It would be great if he could know the details of this battle. Could it be that he was wrong again? Could it be that Li Huairen also has the talent of a general?
At this time, Li Yuan tilted his head and smiled, "Pingyang, Huairen is really covered in bruises?"

In Li Yuan's mind, he led [-] cavalry to the north to pursue the defeated Turks. Li Shan was the chief general, and he was not good at leading the troops himself, so it was difficult to get injured.

The next moment, Princess Pingyang's eyes widened, and a slightly sharp voice resounded in the hall, "Why did father say that?!"

"In World War II, Jieli, all the generals said that they should retreat slowly, gather a large army, and then attack. Huairen rode out alone, charged with a spear, wounded six places, fought to the death without retreating, and arrows were inserted all over his armor!"

After a pause, Princess Pingyang lowered her voice a little, "Outside Guji Town, we were paying homage to the fallen soldiers. Huairen was physically and mentally injured, and fell to the ground in a daze. Daozong sent a letter and witnessed it with his own eyes. His body was covered in cuts and bruises."

Li Yuan was stunned for a long time, then sighed: "So strong, so strong."

"Cui Xin, a member of Zhongshushe, was summoned to issue an edict that Xu Handan Wang Lishan healed the wounds on behalf of the state. After he recovered, he would return to the court and reward him."
