Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 916

Seeing the figure of Huangfu Li leaving after thanking him again and again, Lu Jilan said in a low voice: "Send people to keep an eye on the Huangfu clan."

"That's natural." Liang Luoren would not trust Huangfu Li easily, and said with a chuckle: "Since the return of the Turks to the north, the Tang army has sent troops to attack three times, but it is just a trial and error. If we want to win quickly, we can only cooperate with the inside and outside."

Liang Luoren was confident in controlling the army under his command, but he couldn't control the people in Guyuan County, and Huangfu Li was qualified to play tricks in it.

"Then shall I repay Your Majesty in this way?"

"En." Liang Luoren said in a low voice, "Take a while."

Lu Jilan naturally understood, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty also means the same thing, it doesn't matter if it's delayed until next year."

"That's no comparison, the King of Handan is not stupid." Liang Luoren also smiled, "As long as we can wait until April or May next year, there will be a turning point."

On the one hand, it is because of grain and grass. By April and May next year, Yuanzhou, Lingzhou, and Huizhou will be able to harvest a batch of grain. After a round of planting, Liang Jun can be considered to have taken root. On the other hand, by April and May next year , There is still a long period of time. By that time, no matter who wins or loses in the Turkic civil strife, it will eventually be decided.

Lu Jilan said in a low voice: "As long as Guyuan can be defended, there is a lot of room to advance or retreat in the future..."

"I will be able to hold on." Liang Luoren raised his voice: "The King of Handan has tens of thousands of troops, and there is no room for him to use his force. There is not much room for him to use his strength. There are many passes, and he will be able to defeat the enemy if he is condescending."

After a pause, Liang Luoren added with a smile: "Moreover, the old soldiers in the army wait and see and assert that there will be heavy snow at the end of this year."

The heavy snowfall not only made the road difficult, but also brought about a sudden drop in temperature, making it almost impossible to start a war, let alone attacking Guyuan, which stands on the Liupan Mountain, so Liang Luoren was quite confident.

Moreover, there is heavy snow in Yuanzhou, and the grassland is afraid of another snow disaster. It is certain that many tribes will not be able to survive the winter, and they will be forced to go south to enclose... Now it is Liang Shidu who occupies Lingzhou. After the defeat, the Liang army will surely be able to replenish a large number of troops .

And after the spring of next year, there will be more Hu people going south to plunder, which is beneficial to the Liang army and not conducive to the Tang army.

Sending Lu Jilan out of the city, Liang Luoren said in a low voice: "The King of Handan mentioned that Yanzhou and Liangzhou sent troops, and told His Majesty to be on guard."

"Isn't it impossible?"

"You have to guard against it." Liang Luoren's eyes were dark.

But at this moment, in the Hall of Liangyi, Li Yuan was also frowning and thinking hard, Yanzhou sent troops to attack Shuofang, it was a bit risky, and Yanzhou's troops were insufficient, Huairen asked Chen Shuda to report, did he really propose to send troops?
Li Shimin, who was the first on the right hand, thought for a while, and said: "Don't be negligent. It's okay to test the Liang army one or two times, but if you go straight to Shuofang, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"If Tongwan City can be broken, Liang's army will be in disarray, and Huairen's army will be defeated, and even the enemy generals will come to surrender." Prince Li Jiancheng habitually sang against Li Shimin.

Chen Shuda coughed twice, "The King of Handan sent a message before leaving, and Yanzhou sent troops to try it out."

Li Jiancheng glanced at Chen Shuda with a gloomy gaze. He couldn't see that even if the servant of the school hadn't turned to his second brother, he had intended to get close to him.

Li Shimin added: "He Lianbo conquered more than [-] people, and it took six years to build it. It is so strong that it can sharpen knives and axes. Without a large army, it is difficult to conquer."

Chen Shuda suddenly remembered Li Shan's words, and said curiously: "I heard from the King of Handan that He Lianbo was repairing and unifying the ten thousand cities. The warriors pierced the walls with iron cones, and when they penetrated an inch, they killed the artisans. Jian, there is no second in the world."

Li Yuan, Li Shimin and several ministers looked at each other in a daze, they had never heard of it.

After discussing for a long time, in fact, it was a long fight. The crown prince was aggressive, and King Qin downplayed it. In terms of military affairs, not to mention now, even before, Li Yuan trusted his second son more.

"It is not advisable to attack directly with light soldiers." Li Yuan ordered: "Liang Li, the general manager of Yanzhou, can act according to the situation, or send partial divisions to test one or two. Don't rush to fight with the whole army."

Cui Xin, a member of Zhongshushe who was on the side, swiped away, and Li Yuan asked with a smile, "Have you ever taught Huairen?"

Before Cui Xin could speak, Chen Shuda laughed loudly and said, "In front of all the generals, the Duke of Qinghe County has saved some face for the King of Handan, but later..."

"How?" Yang Gongren asked with great interest.

"The King of Handan's face is earthy, he respectfully listens to the reprimand." Chen Shuda said with a smile: "He didn't show any face, the Duke of Xihe County has a good heart."

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Li Yuan smiled very happily, "You deserve to be trained, you are self-righteous, and you have gained Yanbo's reputation."

"It is precisely because of this that the Duke of Qinghe County is very angry." Chen Shuda clicked his tongue and said, "The King of Handan has won His Majesty's trust for several years. , but so obediently listen to the training..."

Prince Li Jiancheng said with a joking smile, "Huairen's biological father died young, although he was a young hero, he returned to danger several times, and he is about to be taught by Cui Sheren."

"This is a national war, why should you spare your life?" Cui Xin stood up and saluted, and said calmly: "The King of Handan marched forward vigorously. Not working hard."

Chen Shuda complained secretly, that's not what you said at the time.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded repeatedly, stretched out his hand and nodded Li Shimin, "Huiren is somewhat similar to Erlang, both have a heroic spirit."

Over the past few years, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty has gradually stabilized, but Li Yuan, as the founding monarch, often fell into troubles. This was mainly caused by his two sons taking the throne. Sometimes he also wondered, without Li Shan, who would be able to defeat the Turks? ?
After much deliberation, maybe Li Yaoshi, the Duke of Dai, has this ability, but now that Li Jing is guarding Daizhou, and the Turks have invaded Guannei Road and Longyou, it is difficult for Li Jing to separate himself... For example, this time, if it is not Li Shan, then he can only If Qian Erlang leads the army again, the battle for the heirloom will be even more fierce.

Lucky to have Huairen, lucky to have Huairen.

What satisfied Li Yuan the most was that although Li Shan was young and made many achievements, he was a man who knew how to advance and retreat, and who knew how to measure. Of.

As Chen Shuda mentioned just now, the money from the internal treasury was transported to the army, and the King of Handan ordered Chang'an to order Li Ganyou to inform the entire army that this was His Majesty's private property... This was a blatant way to win the hearts of the army for Li Yuan. Although it was only a small matter, it made Li Yuan Give Li Shan another extra point in my heart.

In fact, Li Yuan knew it well. Shi Wenyanbo, the commander of the marching army, once played a concert, and the Turks fled in a hurry, leaving behind a large number of cattle and sheep. In fact, Li Shan was capable of repaying the accounts owed before, but Li Shan insisted on not moving, but waited. The goods in the inner warehouse are shipped.

It's just that the cost is a bit high, nearly one-fifth of the money in the internal treasury was consumed at one time, Li Yuan thought in his heart, if he won the battle, he should send some of it back to Beijing... Although this is a bit shameless, the war is not over yet.
