Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 842 Candidates

In the Hall of Liangyi, Li Yuan sat at the head, the Crown Prince and the King of Qin sat at the head and left respectively, and there was no shortage of ministers from the three provinces. Everyone looked solemn and listened quietly.

Li Yuan waved his hands again and again, whether it was the deployment of troops, horses, armor, ordnance, he agreed, and ordered Wen Yanbo, the Duke of Xihe County, who had a good relationship with Li Shan and had worked with Zhongshushe, to be the Lingzhou Road Shi, the commander of the army, is responsible for the supply of grain and grass.

At this point, we finally came to the most critical point, the selection of generals.

"I would like to send the General of the Zuojianmen Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang, the General of the Zuojianmen Zhang Zhongjian, the General of the Right Jianmen Ma Sanbao, and the General of the Right Qianniuwei Kan Leng to join the army."

Li Yuan nodded immediately. He is also a veteran on the battlefield. Whether the commander-in-chief of the first army can be as good as his arm is the key to the war. Whether it is Li Shan's cronies or Li Shan's old department, and neither of them are from the East Palace or Qin Palace.

Although it was only for one night, with the help of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, Li Shan had already prepared the draft, "Your Majesty has to decide on the candidate for the deputy general. In addition, the sixteen guards still need to transfer generals to make up for it."

Two consecutive defeats in a few months, coupled with the loss of the previous battle at Tiantai Mountain, many middle and high-level generals in the Sixteen Guards system were killed. This is one of the reasons why Li Shan called his cronies and old troops. Except for Zhang Zhongjian and Zhang Zhongjian, the cronies of the Beiya Forbidden Army will basically go north with the army.

However, the candidate for the deputy commander needs to be decided by Li Yuan. This was Fang Xuanling's suggestion last night. Li Yuan's face was calm, obviously very satisfied with Li Shan's words.

"You Qianniuwei General Dou Gui will be appointed as the deputy commander of the Lingzhou Road." Li Yuan thought about it, "The rest of the generals, Huairen will be transferred from the sixteen guards."

Li Shan was a little surprised that he actually chose Dou Gui. This foreign relative has also made meritorious service many times, but his methods are cruel and his temperament is arrogant, but his relationship with him is not bad.

Li Shimin interrupted suddenly: "Father, General Duan Zhixuan of the Left Wuwei and General Li Keshi of the Right Qianniuwei are both brave generals, and they may be able to join the army."

Li Shan closed his mouth... That's how the script was written, Li Shan is a well-behaved actor.

Li Jiancheng's face was a little ugly. After the battle of Tiantai Mountain, Qin Wang's lineage was seriously injured, but in the overall situation, he was against the East Palace, and even seemed to surpass him. The key points lie in two aspects. One is that Li Shimin really used the Minister The second is that many generals and counselors of Tiance Mansion began to enter the court.

You must know that in the past few years, there were not many officials from the Qin Dynasty's direct lineage, including Feng Lun, Yuwen Shiji, and Tang Jian. Lu Deming successively served in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Officials. Zhang Cong, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, and Li Keshi all served as generals in the Sixteen Guards system.

The two candidates given by Li Shimin were impeccable, both belonged to the Sixteen Guards system, one was commensurate with Li Shan's uncle and nephew in the early years, and the other was an enemy of Li Shan, but he abandoned his previous suspicions in the Tiantai Mountain battle.

Li Jiancheng hates his teeth. He doesn't have a deep foundation in the army, but he is the prince of the East Palace. Naturally, there are people in the sixteen guards system. There are also a few generals at the level of the sixteen guards... It's a pity that he followed Xiang Xiang in two battles. Yi Wang Li Shenfu and Guan Guogong Ren Gui were all lost. Pei Longqian who died in Huating is an example.

However, there are two candidates for the Beiya imperial army. While Li Jiancheng was hesitating, Li Yuan nodded after a moment of hesitation, and only ordered: "The big battle is about to start. Erlang told Duan Zhixuan not to play in the army."

"Father, don't worry, how dare Zhixuan resist orders?" Li Shimin said with a smile, "Otherwise, the Duke of Yidu County will flog the eldest son."

Li Yuan also laughed. Since returning to Beijing, Duan Yanshi, who had reprimanded Li Shan several times in front of him, changed his attitude and praised him several times. Still declined.

Pei Shiju, who had been lowering his head, looked at Li Shimin vigilantly, thinking that another moth was about to happen... Li Shan invited himself to the battle, bringing all his cronies, old generals, and even Kan Leng away, but Beiya In the Forbidden Army, the East Palace and the Prince Qin's Mansion are checks and balances. On one side are Feng Li and Li Gaoqian, and on the other side are Li Keshi and Zhang Cong.

But Li Shimin pointed out Li Keshi, the right Qianniuwei general...the latter was with the army, and the power of the Eastern Palace side in the Beiya imperial army was not to say suppressed, but it was also faintly higher than that of King Qin.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Li Shan turned his head to look at Li Jiancheng, "I have one more matter, please help the Crown Prince."

Li Jiancheng forced a smile and said, "Huai Ren, tell me quickly, I will definitely help you with all my strength."

"Back then in the Furong Garden..." Li Shan hesitated to explain: "I hope the prince will persuade you to put state affairs first."

Li Jiancheng naturally understands it. Back then in the Furong Garden, Li Shan beat Luo Yi's younger brother and son like that... for this reason, the two became enemies. Now Luo Yi is guarding several checkpoints at the border of Yuanzhou and Longzhou, and will Will be the key figure in this battle.

Before Li Jiancheng patted his chest to reassure him, Li Shimin interrupted and said, "Father, Guan Guogong will serve as the general manager of Longzhou as the general manager of the Lingzhou Road..."

Li Jiancheng cast his resentful eyes on Li Shimin, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Shan's words, after all Li Shan had a grudge against Luo Yi, so it was only natural that he should ask for it, but he didn't expect his second brother to take the opportunity to make trouble.

But Pei Shiju was thinking, the people dispatched last night were knocked unconscious in the alley, King Qin and Li Shan must have conspired for a long time...the cooperation was great!
Li Yuan rubbed the center of his brows, "Chang Da has been transferred to be the governor of Qizhou..."

After a pause, Li Yuan looked at Zhongshuling Yang Gongren, "Is there anyone for the Ministry of Officials?"

Yang Gongren, who was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials by the Order of Zhongshu, proposed several candidates without thinking.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan said: "The Zhongshu will draft an edict later, Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Jiangzhou, will be transferred to be the governor of Longzhou, and he will go north with the army."

Li Jiancheng's complexion was even more ugly. Guo Xiaoke was from the lineage of the king of Qin, who was born in Wagang in his early years. He was a general under Li Shiji's command. In holding a banquet, Zhang Shigui and Guo Xiaoke were tied for the first place, and their merits were above all the generals.

After Shandong was pacified in the fifth year of Wude, Guo Xiaoke became the governor of Beizhou and the governor of Zhaozhou. Last year, he was transferred to the governor of Jiangzhou. This time, Li Shimin transferred him back to the court because of the loss of the Tiance government's school in the Tiantai Mountain World War. , was originally going to be the young minister of the Taifu, but now it just comes in handy.

The reason why Li Yuan chose Guo Xiaoke was to a large extent because this person was born in a reckless man, which is rare in the court. , but it has nothing to do with the Taiyuan Guo family.

Around Li Shan, there are many heroes who have been drawn from the grass, and Guo Xiaoke's background is just right.
