Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 737 Dystocia
Chang'an, the imperial city.

The atmosphere in the Hall of Liangyi was a bit dignified. The ministers and assistants were all looking at their noses and noses and their hearts. King Qi Li Yuanji had an expression of indifference, and the sage Li Yuan who was sitting at the top frowned, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently rub the center of his brows .

It has been almost two months, and it is urgent to prepare troops in Guannei Road, and it is confirmed that Lingzhou Road is the core, but the marching chief and deputy chief are still not released.

These days, with Li Yuan's acquiescence and even instigation, although the people of Qin Wang's lineage cannot be said to be floating, their power is gradually declining, and the East Palace is arrogant and aggressive.

Li Yuan also had plans for a long time ago, it was impossible for Erlang's lineage to control Lingzhou Road, but he did not expect that Prince Li Jiancheng would recommend Li Shenfu, King of Xiangyi County, as the general.

Li Yuan was thinking about the same question as Li Shan who was far away in Huaqing Pool. Li Shenfu has this qualification, but does he have this ability?
"Xiangyi..." Li Yuan turned to look at Li Shimin, "What does Erlang think?"

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but move his body. In his father's mind, he would never be better than his second brother in this respect.

Li Shimin's face was expressionless, and he pondered for a while, "Uncle Wang of Xiangyi once served as the general manager of the Hedong Road and the general manager of Bingzhou. The crown prince recommended him, and I must believe in his ability."

Anyway, recently, the crown prince was pressing hard, and he retreated far away, just waiting for a good show... Li Shimin suddenly remembered that retreating far away is Huairen's specialty.

Li Yuan sighed, he could hear the meaning of the second son, he was not very optimistic about the Li talisman, but he was not willing to compete with the East Palace for this position.

Li Shenfu served as a general of the clan several times as a general of the clan, but between the fifth year of Wude and the seventh year of Wude, not only did he not have any outstanding achievements, but because he framed his colleagues, Mayi almost fell. In the end, he was driven to Lingzhou.

Among them, in the fifth year of Wude, Li Daen, the governor of Daizhou, sought to capture Mayi, and finally died in Shuozhou. Most of the main force of the Tang army in Hedong was near Taiyuan Mansion, and they were all under the command of Li Shenfu, who was the governor of Bingzhou at that time.

However, Li Shenfu had no courage to go northward, which led to Jieli Khan, together with Yuan Junzhang, Gao Kaidao and other troops, an army of more than [-] easily captured Yanmen Pass and plundered Hedong.

Moreover, Jieli Khan stopped in Xinzhou, which was very close to Taiyuan Mansion. The dispatched generals went south and almost penetrated the entire Hedong Road. It was not until the Qin King Li Shimin led the army to the source that the Turks returned with thousands of men and women and a large amount of property. , and Li Shenfu's record is...killing 500 people.

The fact that there are so few records is not the key, the key lies in the battlefield... Fendong.

Fenzhou is located in the southwest of Taiyuan Mansion. In other words, Li Shenfu did not dare to stand against Taiyuan Mansion, and retreated to Fenzhou... At that time, Princess Pingyang had no choice but to call the government soldiers to fight the Turks in Taiyuan Mansion, and was shot He fell from his horse and almost died.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng, why did Dalang recommend Li Shenfu? !

As a superior, Li Yuan instinctively hoped to see the battle between the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion, but he was also the master of the world, so it was impossible not to consider the actual situation.

"This matter will be discussed later." Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng angrily. He had previously recommended Li Shenfu as the deputy general, but after a year, he insisted on recommending him as the chief general!
Li Jiancheng felt aggrieved as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, and there was nothing he could do.

Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi, was not actually a person with great ambitions, who hoped to make contributions and leave a name in history, and even rarely had a majesty in the army. All the changes came from the accident at the end of the previous year.

Li Shan attacked the Turks at night in Mayi, beheaded Yu and shot his head, and forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender... These are not the key points.

These two points directly led to Li Shenfu's reassignment as the governor of Lingzhou, and Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng who was the governor of Lingzhou at the time, became the governor of Bingzhou.

Nominally, they are all general managers, but the general manager of Lingzhou is far from being comparable to the general manager of Bingzhou in any aspect... The latter is the top three officials in the world.

In other words, the Li talisman was dispatched to Lingzhou.

Just being driven away from Hedong just like that, no one with no ambitions can't stand it, being ashamed to the point where Li Shenfu is now suspicious, feeling that the generals are looking at him with mockery in their eyes.

Especially the great victory of Yanmen not long after, and the great victory of Guji Town and Cangtouhe after that, all of which made Li Shenfu hold a grudge... If he stayed in Hedong, he would still be the general manager of the Hedong Road, and the biggest piece of meat should be himself food.

But who to hate?
The first one to hate is of course the old enemy Liu Shirang, and the second one is naturally Li Shan.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng never considered recommending Li Shanlai as the head of the Lingzhou Road March... Li Shenfu must rebel.

But Li Jiancheng also didn't consider Li Shenfu's mental state...Not long ago, Li Shenfu told the prince that he could either be the general manager of the Lingzhou Road, or abandon the general manager of Lingzhou and return to the court to cultivate.

Now Li Jiancheng was at a loss. His plan was to let Li Shenfu be his deputy, remove all the other candidates, and transfer him from Jianghuai to Guan Guogong Ren Gui as the general.

Although it was inappropriate for the Duke of the State to be the main general and the county king to be the deputy, Li Jiancheng felt that the Li talisman was acceptable as he was also a member of the Eastern Palace.

Well now, Li Shenfu refused...the reason for his refusal was also very appropriate. After all, he was the prince of the county, and after a long discussion in the East Palace, Li Jiancheng would bite the bullet and recommend Li Shenfu as the marching commander of Lingzhou Road.

You know, after the four years of Wude's Luoyang Hulao War, Li Shenfu was the first general to join the Eastern Palace, and he was also the only clan general who joined the Eastern Palace... For the Eastern Palace, the governor of Bingzhou was lost. Known for his degree, how can he chill the hearts of his courtiers?

After Zaifu and his three sons retired, Li Yuan returned to Ganlu Hall, still thinking in his heart, there are too many generals in the clan, but it is difficult to choose one who can hold down Li's talisman.

Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang with military exploits, is too young, and he is a direct descendant of Erlang; Li Daozong, the governor of Bingzhou, is actually quite suitable, but he turned out to be the governor of Lingzhou. Because of that swap, Li Shenfu was quite dissatisfied with Li Daozong .

Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, is also not good. On the one hand, he is Erlang's direct descendant, on the other hand, he is currently stationed in Longxi Road, and he is also the direct elder brother of Li Shenfu.

Li Shan, the king of Handan... Li Yuan paused and shook his head slightly. If he really wanted to use Li Shan, he could only transfer the Li talisman away, otherwise the morale of the army would be unstable.

Although Li Shan reported it secretly last year, in fact, Zaifu, the crown prince, and King Qin all knew about it, not to mention other people, the crown prince knew, which means that Li Shenfu definitely knew why he was driven to Lingzhou.

Li Yuan thought about it for a second, or take Li Shenfu as the main general, and then match him with a deputy... Just like defeating Xiao Liang, Zhao County King Li Xiaogong was the main general, but in fact it was Li Jing's overall control.

Then the candidate for the deputy needs to be carefully selected.
