Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1205: Harmony with Mud (continued)
In fact, Li Shimin also regrets it now. He should not let go of the position of Daizhou Manager, otherwise Zhang Gongjin and Li Shiji would be enough to take on the important task.

Even Li Shimin could detect the resentment in Li Shan's gaze... I have been reminded by Ling Jing more than once!

Li Yuan pressed his eyebrows in annoyance. Qin Wutong was incompetent, but at this time, the commander was changed on the spot and Pang Yu was appointed as the general manager of Daizhou?

Not to mention other things, it is very dangerous to change the commander before the battle and shake the morale of the army.

Moreover, Pang Yu was an old man from the Sui Dynasty. Li Yuan knew that this person was competitive and might send troops to Yanmen. If Yanmen Pass fell, it would be a big problem.

Li Shanhui is not the only one who can use this method to harmonize the mud. Li Yuan is a good player, and all the prime ministers and assistants below are also masters of this method. Xiao Yu, who was recently transferred to Zhongshu Ling, suggested: "Maybe the general manager of Bingzhou, Rencheng King Li Daozong, can lead The army went north and stationed troops in Daizhou."

"No."

"No."

Li Shimin and Li Shan rejected it in unison, and their tone was firm.

After a pause and seeing a look from Li Shimin, Li Shancai explained: "The importance of Hedong lies in Daizhou and Bingzhou. The former sits on Yanmen Pass and keeps the barbarians out of the pass. The latter is the core of Hedong, and troops are stationed here as a backing." .”

"If things go wrong and the Turks break through the border, the king of Rencheng will gather tens of thousands of elites in Bingzhou, which will make it difficult for the Turks to move south quickly. In the fifth year of Wude, Jieli Khan, Yuan Junzhang and Gao Kaidao broke through the border, but It is difficult for the army to break through Taiyuan, the main force is stationed in Xinzhou, and only small groups of troops invade various places."

Li Shimin nodded slightly. To put it bluntly, Li Daozong was a back-up force in Bingzhou, a reserve army that could respond if something went wrong. Once he was transferred and Daizhou fell, the entire Hedong would be in danger.

In fact, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the main gathering place of the Tang army in Hedong has been Taiyuan. It was only in the past few years that Li Shan's troubles pushed the front to the west of Yanmen Pass.

Li Yuan also nodded in agreement. Of course he would never forget that the last time Hedong was defeated was because Li Yuanji's traitorous son escaped before the battle, so that the entire Hedong basically fell. If Erlang hadn't turned the tide, Song Jingang would have invaded Jingzhao. .

Although Daidi is very important, Bingzhou is more important. This is an insurance gate. Once it is gone, the Turks can break through and fight all the way to the Yellow River.

Li Shimin was unparalleled on the battlefield, but he was also conciliatory in political matters. He suggested: "Father, it is better to set up the Hedong Road Marching General Manager's Office, with Daozong Wang's brother as the general manager, and send another general to serve as the deputy general manager, and go north to Daizhou. , to preside over the war."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, this is a good idea!

On the one hand, Li Daozong, the general manager of Bingzhou, is the leader, which means that if something happens, Li Daozong is qualified to take charge of the overall situation. On the other hand, the deputy general manager goes north to Daizhou and can suppress Pang Yu and Qin Wutong. Order out many doors.

And in this way, there is no need to remove Qin Wutong from the position of Daizhou General Manager.

Li Shan looked at Li Shimin with admiration. He didn't know whether this was Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's idea, or Li Shimin's own idea. It was the best of both worlds.

Li Yuan thought about it in his mind. He wanted to be able to suppress Qin Wutong and Pang Yu, and also have the ability to watch the battle. He could not only defend Yanmen Pass, but also send troops to support Liu Shirang and Li Shiji of Shuozhou at the right time. This way There are not many generals. "Huairen." Li Yuan looked at Li Shan, "How is Duke Zhao's injury?"

"I can barely walk as usual, but it's difficult to go into battle." Li Shan said frankly that this is also true. Su Dingfang was not seriously injured in the battle at Renzhi Palace, but he suffered several stabs on both legs and several arrows in battle. Now Daily life is not difficult, but going into battle is very difficult.

Li Yuan was a little disappointed. Su Dingfang had served in Daizhou, he was a famous general, and he was once the chief general of Daizhou Army... But he also knew that even if Su Dingfang was fine, Li Shan would find a reason to decline.

After all, the main forces of the four Tang armies in Guannai Road and Hedong Road in the north, Li Jing in Yanzhou, Li Daozong in Bingzhou, and Zhang Zhongjian, who was a personal guard of Li Shan, plus Su Dingfang in Daizhou... the power is too heavy.

Chen Shuda suggested: "Maybe we can use Huo Guogong or King Huaiyang?"

Chai Shao and Li Dao He took up the post of deputy general manager of the march across the east road across the river.

"It's Daoxuan." Li Yuan nodded and said, "After all, Sichang was injured on the sole of his foot and had difficulty walking. Moreover, Daoxuan once guarded Yanmen Pass, so he returned to his old place."

Li Shimin thought in his heart that his brother-in-law Chai Shao did have difficulty walking, and after all, he controlled the Beiya Imperial Army, and his father's choice of Li Daoxuan also had Huairen's reasons.

Pang Yu, Zhang Gongjin, and Xue Wanjun all wrote letters one after another. Before Zhang Gongjin went to Xiazhou, he rushed to Renzhi Palace and told Li Shimin in person that although he had been away for several years, Li Huairen, the heir to Wei, still had a great reputation in Dai. Pharmacist Li was far from able to compete.

Li Daoxuan, who had good relations with Li Shan, was appointed as the deputy general manager of the Hedong March and rushed to Daizhou. It was logical to take control of the military power and he would definitely be able to suppress Pang Yu and Qin Wutong.

Not to mention other things, when Li Shan and Cui Xin went to Mayi to recruit Yuan Junzhang, it was Li Daoxuan who guarded Yanmen Pass and refused to send troops to Xiangyi King Li Shenfu. This matter was unknown to everyone in Daizhou.

Next comes the deployment of troops, the collection and transportation of grain and grass, and ordnance. Li Shan will not interfere. Mainly Li Shimin, Yang Gongren, and Dou Gui are discussing, as well as the newly appointed Minister of Civil Affairs Wen Yan, who also entered the Liangyi Palace for discussion today. Bo.

Wen Yanbo is obviously a little confused. The mobilization of grain and grass is the main responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Yijun warehouse is now empty, and a considerable part of the grain and rice in Yongfeng warehouse in Huazhou has been lost to Yanzhou Road... After all, there is Yanzhou Road Three or four state capitals were only recovered at the beginning of the year. Originally, under Liang Shidu's rule, there was basically no savings.

"Fortunately, both Huairen and Yuan Xiu proposed military settlements back then." Li Yuan said with a wry smile, "Otherwise it would be difficult to supply."

At that time, Li Shan dismembered Yuan Junzhang's subordinates and moved the Han people to Yunzhou and Shuozhou. He also exchanged Yugushe for [-] Han people from the Turks. A large number of these people ended up working in farming, and he merged with the governor Shi Doujing and Dou Yuan. Xiu had this idea in his early years and took advantage of the opportunity to go farming in Taiyuan. Now there is no shortage of food and grass on Hedong Road, which is better than the situation on Guannei Road.

However, there are many problems with ordnance. The inventory of the Ordnance Supervisor and the General Supervisor is not large, because there have been wars last year and this year, and a lot of authority in this area has been usurped by the Young Master.

As Li Shan listened, he thought of Li Yuan, the prince of Lujiang County. This prince attached to the East Palace and was under house arrest when Yang Wenqian conspired to rebel. Not long ago, he was dismissed as the Shaofu Minister and was appointed as the Governor of Youzhou... It sounds good, but in fact they were driven out of Chang'an and driven to Hebei.

Maybe this is also a loophole.
