Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1046 Inquiry

In the Hall of Liangyi, Li Shan talked eloquently and eloquently. From Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng to the prime ministers...they all had strange expressions.

Because Li Shan basically said nonsense, he analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of setting up a county from a series of factors. Anyway, he said it positively and vice versa, and he was talking about things that everyone knew well.

If a county is set up, it will be necessary to garrison the Turks with a large army, and it is likely to cause the Turkic civil strife to stop. In the past two or three years, the Tang Dynasty has fought many battles with the Turks. Rest and recuperate.

But if a county is set up, as long as Yulin County can be defended, the situation between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will change greatly. Originally, the Tang Dynasty used troops on the grasslands, mainly in the two directions of Lingzhou and Daizhou. If Hetao can be won The region, after a long period of operation, will inevitably become a new frontier for Datang to fight against the Turks.

This is also true in history. In the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks, Li Jing and Li Shiji led the army from Hedong, Xue Wanche led the army from Youzhou, Li Daozong led the army from Lingzhou, and Chai Shao, who was the governor of Huazhou at that time, led the army from Huazhou. Go north along the Yellow River, pass through Yulin County, and cooperate with Li Jing's main force.

Chen Shuda couldn't help but reprimanded: "Your Majesty asks for advice, why does King Wei talk about it?"

Li Shan chuckled, "This matter should be decided by His Majesty."

This is a bit shameless. Before the Qing Dynasty, there had never been a great dictator in the true sense of the word in Chinese history. Even Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty who had three provinces and six ministries, had a "true prime minister" Gao Jiong. It is "the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together."

In other words, such important military and state affairs must be decided by the emperor, the minister, and the ministers through joint discussions. The emperor has never been qualified to make decisions alone... If Wei Zheng was here, he would probably call Li Shan a "" Chengchen".

Li Yuan couldn't laugh or cry when he said this, "Huai Ren explained in detail, what if there is no county?"

"If you don't set up a county, naturally the army will gather and recover Yinzhou, Suizhou, Shuofang, and Yanzhou, so that the defense line from Yinzhou to Lingzhou will be complete, and at the same time, the people of Yulin County will be relocated." Li Shan spread his hands and said: "If a county is established, it should be dispatched. Send generals to guard..."

After a pause, Li Shan first glanced at the crown prince, then at the king of Qin, "To fight against the Turks, you must use an attack to attack, and you should send elite soldiers and strong generals. The Tianjie Army under the command of King Yanjun should be able to do this."

"Either stand firm and wait for help, but we need to build more fortresses and burn red bricks locally. Yuanzhou Governor Zhang Shigui once stood firm in Guji Town, which is the most suitable."

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows, but he was indeed impartial. King Luo Yi of Yan County is the military general most relied on by the Eastern Palace, and Zhang Shigui is the confidant general of King Qin, and Zhang Shigui is the governor of Yuanzhou... If the Lingzhou Army wants to go south, Zhang Shigui, who is stationed in Yuanzhou and holds a key position, will be a very key figure.

Pei Shiju felt a little bored, and thought that it was really not easy for Li Shan, he tossed and turned his left and right hands, stiff and muddy... In such a short time, it was thanks to his quick thinking.

Li Shan really had no choice, he thought back and forth for a long time before he came up with this solution...not referring to the peace and mud, but to dividing and restricting the activity space of the Turkic cavalry in Dajianzhai Fort in Yulin County, imitating Guji Town.

In fact, the Hetao area did not play a practical role in most of the Tang Dynasty, because the territory of the Tang Dynasty was too large. During the reign of the first three emperors, they were first the East Turks, then Xue Yantuo, then the West Turks, and the Guannei Road. The threat from the north was swept away, and the hostile tribes either hid far away in the Western Regions or in Liaodong, so the Hetao area basically remained calm.

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Hetao area was first seized by Xixia, then it was Jin's turn, and finally swallowed by Mongolia, and it was not until Zhu Yuanzhang Jianming was able to return to Central Earth.

The main method of the Ming Dynasty to resist the Mongolian invasion in the Hetao area was to use a large number of fortresses to divide the enemy's activity space, and finally concentrate its forces to expel Mongolia... But now the Tang Dynasty does not have this condition, and it does not have this habit.

When fighting against the Turks, the Tang army used chariot formations for defense and cavalry for offense. It sounds like both offense and defense, but in fact it is mainly a field battle. The most important thing is the fine cavalry that can break the formation. This is the guard of the Ming Dynasty. conditions that do not exist.

But in today's world, Li Shan has the most experience in fighting Turks, but there are two cavalry against Turks, one is under the command of Li Jing, the general manager of Daizhou, and the other is the Tianjie Army under the command of Luo Yi, the king of Yan County.

Speaking of which, if the Tianjie Army is mobilized, then Luo Yi will be kicked out of Chang'an, but neither Donggong nor Li Yuan will do this. The former itself disapproves of setting up a county, and the latter will not stimulate Li Jiancheng at this time.

Therefore, Li Shan's hands are perfect... He even brought Zhang Shigui into it.

At the same time, Li Shan also vaguely expressed his attitude to Li Yuan... Whether it is Zhang Shigui or Luo Yi, they are indispensable to the king and prince of Qin. I am really impartial, and I only support you!

Pei Shiju regretted in his heart, since the two battles in Jingzhou and Yuanzhou, Li Huairen will not return to the battlefield in a short time, neither His Majesty nor the King of Qin will allow it, otherwise he really wants to make a suggestion today, what are Luo Yi and Zhang Shigui worth? Daozai, it is Li Huairen who is stationed in Yulin.

Khan Dubu and Khan Tuli know that you are in Yulin County, so they will definitely stop talking and kill you first... I don’t believe you can escape this disaster!
Obviously, Li Yuan couldn't make a decision for a while, so he changed the subject and asked about the current situation of Lingzhou and Huizhou. After all, they had just recovered, Liang Jun needed to be disbanded and returned to his hometown, the government office needed to be rebuilt, and officials and generals needed to be rebuilt. There are countless things in Zhechong Mansion.

Zhongshuling Yang Gongren, who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, really couldn't hold it anymore. Although he was beautiful, he also had heavy responsibilities, not to mention that his own job was Zhongshuling. In the end, Li Yuan ordered the Shangshuling Qin Wang Li Shimin and Shangshu Zuopu to shoot Pei Ji Coordinated processing to restore the organizational system of Lingzhou and Huizhou as soon as possible, and prepare candidates for officials in Yinzhou, Suizhou, Shuofang and other places.

Li Shan sat in the back bored. He was not very interested in these things. He wondered in his heart whether he could live with peace of mind at this time next year. When this era just came, he made up his mind to leave a mark in the history books. own name.

Now, I have done it, and I can't do it better.

Li Shan believed that even if Li Jing succeeded in destroying the Eastern Turks in the future, Su Dingfang could destroy the Three Kingdoms in the future and capture their masters, but he would not be able to overwhelm his own glory.

When it was about to end, Pei Ji asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, Master Liang is being escorted to Beijing, do you want to offer prisoners to the Taimiao?"

Li Yuan's complexion suddenly darkened, and he said after a while: "Master Liang is in Shuofang, and Liang Luoren is in Chang'an, both of them will be cut in half!"

Everyone was a little surprised. Li Shan remembered that when he just returned to Beijing, Li Yuan also mentioned that he would dedicate to the Taimiao together with Liang Luoren when he captured Liang Shidu. Why did he change his mind now?
