Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 844 Choice
It's autumn and it's already cold outside, but the climate in Linhu Hall is like spring. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Shan took off his coat and estimated in his heart how much jade pot spring that Du Yan's restaurant could provide.

It can't be used directly, and it has to be purified once before it can be used for disinfection. It has to be made by Zhuangzi to make the utensils for steaming wine...or directly let the Shaofu and the general to make it.

There was not enough manpower to set up the wounded barracks. Many of the personal guards were originally guards. After returning to Beijing, Li Shan was also invited to give lectures at the Imperial Hospital, and brought out several batches of guards...but it was still not enough. Changqing Dou Dan helped, the Taichang Hospital was under the jurisdiction of Taichang Temple, anyway, Dou Dan was captured by Liang Luoren, and he owed himself a favor, so he got more doctors to accompany the army.

Li Yuan thought in his mind, "We will mobilize government soldiers from several prefectures in Guannei Road, and Huairen will lead 5 troops northward first, and then we will draw troops from Hedong Road as backup."

Li Shan hesitated for a while, "Your Majesty, it is difficult to win this battle quickly..."

"Huh?" Li Yuan wondered why Li Shan had to repeat this sentence, "Huai Ren can just say what he has to say."

Li Shan smiled wryly, "Since we can't win quickly...His Royal Highness, His Highness Prince Qin...a teacher who never forgets the past."

Li Yuan's face was a little ugly, knowing that Li Shan remembered the first battle of Xiabo back then... Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan had a disagreement with Yuan Guogong Shi Wanbao, which eventually led to a crushing defeat, and [-] elites were buried in a foreign land.

"Although Dou Shi fought in all directions from Erlang, but..." Li Yuan paused, "Is Huairen worried about Luo Yi?"

"Not only that, but there is no room for loss in this battle, and it is difficult to win quickly." Li Shan sighed: "I would like to transfer Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche."

Li Yuan smiled, stretched out his index finger and tapped hard, "Huai Ren always thinks carefully when doing things, and he is not willing to offend anyone!"

Zhang Shigui is the favorite general of the King of Qin, Xue Wanche is the crown prince's confidant, and both of them are Li Shan's former subordinates. They followed him to stick to Guji Town, and then went north to defeat the Turks, showing their power outside the Great Wall.

Li Shan said solemnly: "At the battle in Guji Town that day, Zhang Wu'an and Xue Wanche belonged to different groups, but they can join hands for the country, and they will surely be the pillars of the court in the future."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, later I will order Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche to return to the court. There are still vacancies among the sixteen guards, so let these two lead the reinforcements from Hedong to go north."

Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche were in Beijing, I would not transfer Su Dingfang to join the army anymore... Although I used to be the leader of the minister's personal guard, after all, he was a noble and a duke, and he was favored by His Majesty. He is not a minister's family. General, but His Majesty's courtiers."

"At a young age, you should move forward bravely and think so much." Li Yuan smiled and cursed with satisfaction, obviously satisfied with Li Shan's explanation, and he himself knew that there was really no one in Li Shan's entrainment, so he had to rely on it Su Dingfang.

After hesitating for a while, Li Yuan added: "Daoxuan has been in Beijing for a long time, this time he will also go north with the army."

Li Shan agreed immediately, but then felt...it was a bit exaggerated!
Let's do the math, who are the people under my command this time, not to mention famous generals like Xue Wanche, Zhang Shigui and Su Dingfang who have left their names in history, not to mention that Dou Gui is the uncle of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, not to mention the king of Li Daoxuan In the body, there are four generals in the sixteen guards alone, which is too exaggerated.

Under normal circumstances, most of the marching chiefs are also the generals of the sixteen guards, but this time there are four under Li Shan's command, Su Dingfang, the general of the left prison gate, Dou Gui, the general of the right Qianniuwei, Luo Yi, the general of the left Qianniuwei, Right Xiaowei General Li Daoxuan.

With such a lineup, Li Shimin, the general of the Twelve Guards, once had such qualifications... Li Jiancheng also had such a luxurious lineup when he pacified Shandong in history, but in this life, Li Jiancheng failed to make such a feat.

In other words, Li Shan is only second to Li Shimin.

Li Shan can only comfort himself in his heart. No matter what, he has made great contributions to saving him. Even if his relationship with the King of Qin is leaked in the future, Li Yuan should not do anything to him... and Li Shimin is famous for not killing heroes, otherwise After being enthroned for more than ten years, it is impossible to make up the list of 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion.

The battle report entered Beijing on September [-]th, today is September [-]th, and tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival. However, there is still one thing that needs to be dealt with. Li Shan licked his lips, "Your Majesty, Su Dingfang is with the army, and the Beiya Forbidden Army..."

From Dou Kang to Princess Pingyang, to Su Dingfang and Li Shan, Li Yuan has always chosen the most trusted courtiers, and he is the courtier who does not set up a battle for succession to control the Beiya Imperial Army and take charge of the palace ban.

This time Li Shan and Su Dingfang went out to fight, who will control the Beiya imperial army is the key.

The key lies not in Li Yuan, but in Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin... Pei Shiju tried his best to get Li Shan out of Chang'an, just to keep the Beiya imperial guards from being controlled by King Qin's lineage?

Li Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Does Huairen have any recommendations?"

This position is related to the safety of the imperial city, and even Li Yuan's own wealth and life. It has always been ordered by the emperor, and the three provinces and the officials have no right to intervene. Therefore, it is possible for the resigned person to be recommended. Su Dingfang was recommended by Princess Pingyang. will take office.

"Your Majesty Zhang Jinnai, the General of the Guard of the Right Prison, was an old acquaintance in his early years. He guarded the Renshou Palace a few months ago. He worked tirelessly day and night, so he may be able to take on the heavy responsibility." Li Shan said without hesitation, "In addition, the third sister is going to give birth this month... the third sister's wife General Lie Zuo Xiaowei is also qualified to serve."

Li Yuan stroked his beard and thought for a while, before he said: "Zhang Jin is old, I'm afraid it will be difficult, he should be Sichang."

Well, it really was Chai Shao, Li Shan was a little relieved.

After all, Zhang Jin was an important official with high reputation in the former Sui Dynasty, and he was elected as Cao Qigui with the same name as Pei Shiju.

As for the Palace of the King of Qin, there are some who were well-known in the pre-Sui Dynasty, such as Fang Xuanling who was a Jinshi among young people, and some who became officials in the pre-Sui Dynasty, such as Du Ruhui, who was recommended as Fuyang County Captain more than ten years ago. He is also quite famous, and there is only Zhongshu Ling Feng Lun.

This is also the key reason why those old people choose the crown prince instead of King Qin... There may not be much benefit in choosing King Qin.

And Feng Lun, who has only one seedling... has secret contacts with King Qi in private.

Unlike Zhang Jin, Chai Shao also served as an official in the late Sui Dynasty, but it was just a thousand bulls preparing himself. He basically fought under Li Shimin's command for many years. Although he is not regarded as the lineage of King Qin, he is unlikely to be recruited by the East Palace.

Li Shan was very funny in his heart. A few months ago, Li Shimin had already started preparing for the change of Xuanwu Gate. The East Palace must have taken precautions. But now, Li Shimin has given up the idea of ​​mutiny at least for a short time, and instead needs to be on guard. There was a mutiny in the East Palace to seize the throne.

When Li Yuan chose Chai Shao, most of them still considered Chai Shao's political stance and his status as the captain-in-law. Among the two princesses of Pingyang, Princess Pingyang took the initiative, and it was not because of her status as a princess, but because of her status as a princess. Exceeded by character and talent.

In history, it is common for foreign relatives to seize the throne, such as Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian decades ago, but the situation is very different. Now Li Yuan's three sons are all adults, and the second son Li Shimin's military achievements are outstanding, which also enables Li Yuan to trust Chai Shao.

If one day Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji all died, leaving only a bunch of underage princes, Chai Shao would definitely be on Li Yuan's must-kill list.
