Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1369 The End

The final plan was for Chai Shao to serve as the general manager of the Jingzhou Road March, Li Jing as the deputy general manager, and Su Shichang as the chief history officer.

In other words, Li Shan, Dou Gui, and Wen Yanbo were all dismissed... The last two people didn't matter, one was the Prime Minister and the other was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so Li Shan himself only had Zong Zhengqing.

After Li Shan nodded his head, Fang Xuanling finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is a great victory, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will host a banquet in Jingyang..."

"That's wrong!" Princess Pingyang interrupted sharply: "After Wei Siwang Li Huairen was dismissed, shouldn't he return to Chang'an to see His Majesty?"

Fang Xuanling huffed. This reason is really impeccable... But it doesn't seem like something Princess Pingyang could come up with. Fang Xuanling couldn't help but glance at Chai Shao.

You and your wife really protect Li Huairen!

Li Shan was a little confused, but he didn't know what was going on and didn't speak. He only looked at Ling Jing with his eyes, but the old man lowered his eyes, as if he didn't see it.

Well, Ling Jing was not avoiding Li Shan, but he was avoiding Fang Xuanling's eyes.

A few people were playing riddles here, but Li Jing, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, was a little agitated... At least judging from the current situation, His Majesty and the Crown Prince may be dissatisfied, but they are willing to use themselves.

As long as he is willing to use it, fight in battle formations, and scold Fang Qiu, will he still lose to Li Huairen?

Of course, Li Jing also knew very well that in terms of love, he and King Wei Si could not be compared... He just rescued the driver three times, six times before and after!

It's just that Li Huairen's meritorious service is too great, and at the same time he has won the trust of his majesty and the prince. There is no need to win over him. Instead, he has to win over himself, a commander with qualifications and military exploits.

On this point, Li Jing and Li Shan had the same view. It was precisely because Li Shimin was so good at fighting that they could not choose any independent commander-in-chief... Li Shiji, Liu Hongji, and Li Shentong all lost, but instead Li Xiaogong, Li Jing, and Li Shan, who rose up from Li Yuan, had outstanding performances.

Historically, commanders such as Hou Junji, Li Shiji, and Li Daozong emerged during the Zhenguan period, but now they have no chance to show off their skills.

Moreover, the three most important battles during the Zhenguan period were the destruction of DTZ), Tuyuhun, and Xue Yantuo. The leading generals in the first two battles were Li Jing, and Xue Yantuo was the joint force of Li Daozong and Li Shiji.

Over there, Fang Xuanling also came up with a tricky excuse... It was already night, and Li Shan couldn't enter Chang'an City, so he might as well go to Jingyang to see His Highness the Crown Prince first.

It's a pity that Princess Pingyang slapped the table directly... If you can't enter the city, then don't enter the city. Let Huairen go back to Zhuangzi to rest first!

Li Shan finally followed the trend. Speaking of it, it has been almost ten days since the rebellion in the East Palace on the seventh day of October. Except for the time when he summoned his bodyguards, Qingzhuang, he has not been back home. He just went back to rest.

But before leaving, Li Shan said: "Brother-in-law, why don't you ask Duke Zhao to lead the cavalry eastward to Jingyang to protect His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Everyone was a little confused. Is this necessary?

Nowadays, the main Turkic force is tightly blocked. Even if there is a small group of cavalry... there are still thousands of troops around the prince, and they are still in Jingyang County.

But the next moment, everyone understood.

Because Li Shan continued: "In addition, my brother-in-law was ordered to control the Beiya imperial army and protect the imperial city, but now he is leading the army outside. It is better to transfer Hou Hongtao, Qu Hong, Wang Junhao, Zhou Fang, Liu Heier, and Er Zhuhuan back to the capital."

Chai Shao grinned and glanced at Li Jing from the corner of his eye... Li Shan made it clear that he couldn't trust Li Jing.

"Is it necessary?" Fang Xuanling also couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Shan said in a very serious tone: "Fang Gong must not worry about it. These people may be from personal bodyguards, or they may be related by marriage. They have an unusual relationship. They have made great contributions in this battle." "If you return to the capital alone, Can they still lead troops into battle?"

"Didn't Fang Gong just mentioned that he also wanted others to kill enemies and make meritorious deeds?"

"Not to mention, if you go into battle and accidentally die in battle, do you think I will be held accountable, or not?"

Well, Fang Xuanling was so choked up by these words that she felt tight in the chest and short of breath. She really couldn't say that what they said was unreasonable.

Li Jing's face over there turned pale... He felt that if Li Shan continued to slander him like this, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusted him and ordered him to lead the army on an expedition, he might not be able to command his generals.

"Let him take them all away." Du Ruhui's face didn't look good, and he said directly: "On behalf of the Duke, please rest assured and don't need to be distracted by this. Your Highness knows your ability. If you can win this battle..."

At this time, Li Shan said quietly: "The war situation in Hedong is still at a stalemate. Tuli Khan has led an army to attack several states. Is it possible to kill Ashina She'er at this time?"

"By the way, didn't Duke Dai also defeat the Turks in Lingzhou?"

Chai Shao couldn't help but look up at the roof of the tent, feeling a little sympathetic to Li Jing... Why did you offend this guy!

Complete victory... If it is a complete victory, then the main Turkic force must be destroyed, then almost all the Turkic generals must be killed, and then Dubu Khan must be captured alive or beheaded.

But in this way, the situation on the grassland will undergo huge changes... Turli Khan will unify the Turks either actively or passively, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

At least, the situation will not be better than it is now.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has repeatedly defeated the Turks. It was Li Shan's design in Mayi that led to the public conflict between Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan.

Facts have proved that the unified Turks can still pose a huge threat to the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this crisis caused by the temporary alliance between Dub Khan and Turli Khan?

Du Ruhui took a deep breath, pointed at the door curtain and was about to speak, but Li Shan had already stood up and walked out, still muttering, "It doesn't matter if I kill him, he will be considered a good brother who can revolt against Jinlan."

Li Shan walked out of the tent and looked at the sky. I don't know when it started snowing again. Hey, the tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry trapped by the Jing River were having a hard time this night. I can move, but I'm afraid the mount will be unsustainable.

It would be funny if the Turks chose to surrender when the army advanced early tomorrow morning... Li Jing should be angry at Dub Khan's weakness.

"Your Highness."

"Oh, uncle, you're too polite. Just call me Huairen." Li Shan turned around and saw Li Keshi, Li Qianyou and Li Kai, who had obviously been waiting here.

Seeing the unspeakable expressions of the three of them, Li Shan pulled Li Kai's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Huo Guogong is the chief general and Dai Guogong is the deputy general."

Li Kai was a little embarrassed, "This time my second uncle is a little..."

Obviously, everyone has one thing in mind... Everyone has been carrying 70,000 to 80,000 Hus for many days. No matter why Li Jing didn't arrive until today, he just came to pick up some bargains.

That night, Su Dingfang and Liu Heier led two thousand cavalry to Jingyang overnight. Li Shan, Qu Hong, Zhou Fang, Er Zhuhuan and others rushed back to Sun Moon Lake with their guards.

The so-called battle to defend Jingzhao, at least for Li Shan, has finally come to an end.
