Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

The words were so sharp that they were just pointing at Li Jing's nose and scolding him. Li Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache, but Li Jing was cursing in his heart.

You bastard, I'm just asking for advice, there is no specific offensive and defensive strategy at all, you have to blame me!
It has been several years since he took office as the general manager of Daizhou. Li Jing has been doing two things. The first is to prepare for war, which includes military training, farming, reassuring the people, raising horses, etc. The second is to try his best to eliminate the influence left by Li Shan.

But until he finally left office, Li Jing failed to completely succeed in the second thing. He was still unable to completely erase Li Huairen's mark from Daizhou.

On the one hand, there are the Daizhou officials headed by Liu Shirang, Zhang Shigui, and Xue Wanche. The latter two are Li Shanyi's brothers and Jin Lan, and Liu Shirang regards Li Shan as his backer.

On the other hand, there are the middle and lower classes of society. Those local tribes prospered because of Li Shan, and those people live because of Li Shan... After Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche led their troops to Guanzhong, and after the news came that they defeated the Turks in Jingzhou, many people Some soldiers felt sorry.

Well, the general meaning is that the King of Handan can still fight. If we go, we can also gain some military exploits, right?
This made Li Jing feel unhappy. After hearing that Li Shan was promoted to the title of King Wei Si, he almost gritted his teeth. It was not because of jealousy, but because he deeply hated Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan... Why don't you guys? Come and fight Daizhou!
Li Jing heard the news about the Renzhi Palace Incident in Taiyuan Prefecture. After crossing the Yellow River, he went straight to Fangzhou. On the way, he still wanted to go to Tiantai Mountain. It was Li Huairen. This year... When he arrived outside Phoenix Valley, he asked, "Why the hell is it still Li Huairen?" ah!

Even though he felt extremely unhappy in his heart, Li Jing did not say a word at this moment. It was enough to defeat the Turks a few times, but to save him twice... the other party's status in His Majesty's mind was not comparable to his own.

"Huairen." Li Yuan thought for a while and explained: "The pharmacist is just asking for advice and has no intention of sending troops rashly."

"Your Majesty." Li Shan said sternly: "After I returned to Beijing after defeating the Turks, I heard that Duke Dai had sent several letters to Yunzhou to send troops. This is similar to the king of Xiangyi, so we must not ignore it."

Li Yuan's mouth twitched, what he said was really not wrong.

It was because Li Shenfu was driven to Lingzhou and failed to gain credit for defeating the Turks that he rashly sent troops. As a result, he was defeated and captured, and lost the land of three states.

By analogy, the Turkic army did not go to Daizhou, but suffered a bloody blow in Jingzhou and Yuanzhou. Li Jing wrote several times to request troops... maybe he would be defeated and captured.

Li Shan turned to look at Li Jing, with a hint of schadenfreude in his words, "Dai Guogong, don't get me wrong, it was not Gu Jian who persuaded you to transfer to Yanzhou Road Marching Commander."

Even though Li Jing had always had a stable temperament, he was so angry that he was trembling with anger at these strange words.

"Huairen!" Li Yuan gave him a warning look.

Li Shan chuckled twice before closing his mouth.

Li Yuan, who was sitting lazily, straightened up and said sternly: "You have recommended many of the chief officials of the prefectures on Yanzhou Road. Today I will describe them in detail so that the Duke of Dai can do what he can do."

Li Shan was a little surprised. Li Jing took up the post of commander-in-chief of the march of Yanzhou Road, and had jurisdiction over Xiazhou, Yanzhou, Suizhou, and Yinzhou. Although several governors and commanders were his old troops, how dare they disobey orders? Is it necessary to introduce it?

"Yes." Li Shan said casually: "Hu Yan, the general manager of Yinzhou, is brave and good at fighting, and sharp in the battle. Yang Ze, the general manager of Suizhou, is well versed in the art of war and has a gentle temperament. Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou, is calm and changeable. Xue Wanche, the general manager of Xiazhou..."

Having said this, Li Shan paused and realized in his heart that [-]% of the problem lies with Xue Wanche.

Li Yuan showed a smile and said, "Xue Wanche is an old member of Huairen's army. In your opinion, can he be the general manager of Xiazhou for a long time?"

It was probably Li Jing who suggested the replacement... Li Shan said with a straight face: "Xue Wanche has the ability to defeat thousands of people, but lacks the ability to manage politics. If he can stay in office for a long time, your majesty should ask the prime minister, the prince, the king of Qin and the commander-in-chief of the march of Yanzhou Road. .”

Li Yuan looked at Li Jing, "What does the pharmacist think?"

"Of the four continents, only Xiazhou is north of the Great Wall. If the Turks attack, they will attack Xiazhou first." Li Jing analyzed: "Xue Wanche is good at rushing into formations and good at riding on horseback. I'm afraid he won't be able to stick to the state capital. , but lead the troops to attack. If they are defeated, they will be completely defeated, and it will be difficult for the other three states to support them in time." Li Shan had no expression on his face. He knew that Li Jing's analysis was right, but he also knew that Li Jing was also asking Li Yuan, or rather After surrendering to the King of Qin... After all, Xue Wanche is the beloved general of the Prince of the East Palace.

After hearing these words, Li Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Choose a general who has a good strategy, is calm and defensive, and has a strong will."

"Do you have any recommendations for pharmacists?"

"Zhang Gongjin, who is not driving Daizhou, may be capable of this."

"Zhang Gongjin?" Li Yuan glanced sideways at Li Shan.

Li Shan curled his lips slightly and nodded: "In the early years of Xu Yuanlang's rebellion, Zhang Gongjin guarded Yucheng. The rebels were difficult to defeat. Later, they were recommended by Cao Guogong Li Shiji and Yuchi Gong to join the King of Qin."

Li Jing gritted his teeth. It won't be long before everyone knows this kind of thing. Why bother to say it nakedly? !

Li Yuan didn't care. There were too many heroes under Erlang's command, and he couldn't do it even if he wanted to. What's more, he didn't want to do it now.

"Do you have any recommendations for Huairen?"

"I have no recommendation." Li Shan said without hesitation: "If I recommend it, if the Turks attack one day and Xiazhou falls, I am afraid that I will be impeached and accused of being the first crime."

As Li Shan spoke, he glanced at Li Jing from the corner of his eye... This was obviously saying that Li Jing might pass the blame.

After a pause, Li Shan added: "Xue Wanche is indeed unfit to serve as the general manager of Xiazhou, because Xiazhou is north of the Great Wall. Once the Turks attack and face the enemy directly, if the rear is full, I'm afraid..."

Li Jing couldn't bear it anymore and glared angrily: "What does His Highness, King Wei Si, mean by these words?!"

"What do you mean?" Li Shan sneered: "Don't you understand, Duke Dai?"

"Or has the Duke completely forgotten the past?"

"Do you need a reminder?"

Okay, let's tear it up again. Li Shan said clearly that Xue Wanche is of the prince's lineage. Now that the prince is about to be deposed, it is inevitable that King Qin will ascend to the throne. Maybe the Turks will attack, and Li Jing will be like when he sat back and watched Guji Town be besieged. , watched Xiazhou be captured, watched Xue Wanche die in battle.

Li Yuan looked at this scene speechlessly. He had many direct descendants, but none were more important than these two. They were like this in front of him... It seemed that Erlang would also have a headache in the future.

"Okay!" Li Yuan shouted sharply: "The pharmacist is an elder, so he should be considerate. Huairen, you are so arrogant because of your favor!"

Li Shan said aggrievedly: "Uncle, when did my nephew become arrogant because of his favor? It's just this person..."

"Go away!" Li Yuan scolded: "Get out of here!"

After a pause, Li Yuan added: "Zhang Gongjin is Erlang's confidant. Huairen led the pharmacist to ask."
