Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1061

In the Hall of Liangyi, Li Yuan, who was sitting at the top of the table, said with a smile, "Then let Huairen come out to welcome you."

Li Shan stepped forward to respond helplessly. He didn't want to take on such an errand, and he even avoided it deliberately. It's eye-catching.

Nominally speaking, all those who returned to Beijing were his old subordinates, and the leader Su Dingfang was his subordinate, and the previous coach was Li Shan himself... This kind of business has no practical benefits and is easy to cause trouble. Li Shan I really don't want to.

But Li Yuan insisted on calling names... Li Shan quietly glanced at Shuling Yang Gongren when he responded.

When the great victory returned to Beijing, it is reasonable to say that important ministers should come out to welcome them. Based on the record of the Lingzhou Army this time, it should be Zaifu who came out to welcome him. Li Yuan chose himself instead of Yang Gongren.

Li Shan couldn't help being suspicious of Yang Gongren's position...Because as early as the beginning of last year, Ling Jing privately informed that Yan Guiren of Qin Palace had a close relationship with Yang Shidao, and Yan Guiren's mother was Yang Xiong's third daughter and Yang Shidao's older sister, so Yang Shidao may have secretly joined King Qin's command.

If Yang Shidao really joined King Qin, then Yang Gongren's position is doubtful... Unfortunately, Li Shan has no impression of this person's activities during the Zhenguan period, but he remembers that Yang Shidao was a prime minister during the Zhenguan period.

Li Yuan said a few more casual words before announcing the dissolution, leaving only Li Shan.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Shan. He knew very well that after Li Shan asked Su Dingfang to return to Beijing that day, his father's attitude towards him changed a lot...Of course, it was because of Su Dingfang's mother. .

But Li Jiancheng was a little confused, he didn't know that Li Shan had asked Su Dingfang to return to Beijing in front of Li Yuan, and only King Qin and Li Shimin were present that day.

However, for Donggong, the selection of officials this time did not take much advantage, and at the same time, he did not suffer much. The perception of Li Shan by the staff of Donggong is roughly the same... This is a character who does not want to get involved in the battle for the heir apparent. It is possible to win over, but there is no need to be deliberate. If His Majesty is displeased, so that King Wei Si joins King Qin, it will be self-defeating.

Of course, what Pei Shiju had in mind was another calculation. In the East Palace lineage, Xue Wanche, the general with the most outstanding military exploits, was appointed as the governor of Xiazhou. Unless the Turks are brought in, it is impossible to penetrate Yanzhou and go south to Jingzhao under the attack of Duan Decao, Yang Ze, and Hu Yan.

Seeing that there were no other people, Li Shan smiled wryly and said, "I know that your Majesty has great trust, but let me go out to meet you..."

"A few small things." Li Yuan waved his hand, "You can appease Zhao Guogong for me."

"Su Dingfang was originally Dou Xia's former general, and he even followed his adoptive father to rebellion with Liu Heitai. Although he escaped because Liu Heitai led the Turks to the south..." Li Shan shook his head and said, "In terms of his bravery, he is as good as Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong. , Li Shiji, Xue Wanche and other famous generals?"

"But it has only been five years since I returned to the Tang Dynasty. I have already been appointed as the Duke of the state and led the army alone. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Li Yuan was noncommittal, what he said was that there were many generals in the Tang Dynasty who had surrendered, but they usually conferred titles, at least not lower than the original ones, this was to win people's hearts, and they would follow you if they could eat meat.

Su Dingfang was not well-known at first, and after several years of entering the Tang Dynasty, he had several battles, and he had already been knighted as the Duke of Zhao before the victory in Jingzhou, which is a rare honor.

But that's not the case. On the one hand, Su Dingfang's achievements in the past few years are enough to be a duke. Many people think that the reason why Wei Heir Wang Li Huairen is undefeated on the battlefield is largely due to the presence of Su Dingfang by his side... Uh , this is a fact.

On the other hand, Su Dingfang's resignation this time is different from Li Shan's resignation.

Li Shan resigned because he was afraid that his meritorious service would not be rewarded, but on the surface, there were rumors spread by the Turks that Li Shan held the military power and did not leave his troops, which implied that he was disobedient.

But Su Dingfang was different, he didn't have any worries in this regard, and even after the Helan victory, he only sent partial divisions to pursue him, and let Dou Gui, the general manager of the Yanzhou Road, capture Shuofang County, and made great contributions to capturing and killing Liang divisions.

Under such circumstances, Su Dingfang was transferred back to Chang'an... If the monarch didn't want to kill the leading general without authorization, then consolation is necessary, and it is only logical for Li Shan, the former coach, to come forward.

The close relationship between Su Dingfang and Li Shan is actually a good thing. At the same time, Li Yuan is demonstrating his trust in Li Shan.

At this time, there was a report from the palace that the son-in-law Duwei Huo Guogong Chai Shao came to see him.

After a while, Chai Shao strode into the hall and bowed in salute, "Your Majesty, General Li Keshi and Kan Ling of the Right Qianniuwei will return to the Beiya Imperial Army, or..."

Li Yuan's face darkened, but he suppressed it immediately, "They all return to the Imperial Army of the Beiya, and you can control them, but tomorrow they will go out with Huairen to welcome them."

Li Keshi and Kan Ling are both Generals of Right Qianniuwei, and Li Shimin's brother-in-law Zhang Cong is General Zuo Qianniuwei, which can basically guarantee the safety of Chengqian Hall.

Li Shan responded, and asked tentatively, "Can Zhang Baoxiang, the Marquis of Bishui County, come out to welcome you as well?"

Li Keshi, Kan Ling and Zhang Baoxiang were ordered to pursue Liang Jun after the Helan Great Victory, and they have been under the restraint of Dou Gui since then. They were also ordered to return to Beijing this time, but they took the road of Huazhou, so they arrived in Chang'an two days ago up.

"Yeah." Li Yuan nodded and said, "We'll discuss it after the award."

Last year Li Shan led the army to go out and asked Xue Wanche and Zhang Shigui from the Daizhou Army to be transferred. Later, Li Yuan transferred Zhang Baoxiang, an old general who fought under Li Shan's command, twice from the Bingzhou Army.

Now Xue Wanche and Zhang Shigui will not return to Daizhou. One will be the governor of Xiazhou and the other will be the governor of Yuanzhou. It is not easy to say whether Zhang Baoxiang will stay or stay. This lucky general once again showed his unparalleled luck. When the division capital was about to escape, it bit Liang Jun tightly, dragged it to Dou Gui and led the cavalry to arrive, surrounded and wiped out the Liang army, and captured Liang division capital alive.

Zhang Baoxiang is only a county marquis now, and he will definitely be promoted this time. It is really hard to say whether he should return to Bingzhou... Anyway, Li Daozong is very upset. It is somewhat similar to Su Dingfang. Zhang Baoxiang was originally Li Daozong's personal guard commander, Li Shan It was borrowed again and again, and now it may not be repaid.

After leaving the Liangyi Hall, Chai Shao accompanied Li Shan to Chengtianmen, sighed on the way, "Brother Ke, this is really a disaster for no reason."

"What?" Li Shan asked curiously in a low voice: "I heard about it yesterday, the Linji county magistrate and others had an audience with His Majesty the day before yesterday, and they went in and out immediately, why?"

The day before yesterday, Li Keshi and other generals were ordered to return to the court to meet with them in the Hall of Liangyi. As a result, Li Yuan almost went through a process.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so. If it weren't for these few people, Dou Gui might not be able to destroy Liang Guo so smoothly and capture and kill Liang Shidu.

Chai Shao looked at Li Shan a few times, but he couldn't tell whether this person was real or not... After all, Li Shan had no reputation at all.
