Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Ganlu Temple.

Li Shan said calmly: "filial piety can be divided into big and small, and filial piety can be divided into parents."

"He abandoned his wife and son, and I was raised by my mother. I am willing to be a filial piety to my mother, and I am willing to obey my mother's orders in everything."

"Now that I have gained His Majesty's trust and meritorious deeds, I am able to be included in the clan and be crowned an heir. Should I allow him to obtain the title of Prince?"

Well, the heir is usually the eldest son of the prince.

Li Yuan and Li Shimin looked at each other, but said nothing... The concubine of Wei Siwang, Princess Zhu, came to the palace to pay an audience. She spoke fiercely in front of the emperor, without showing any mercy.

Even the Zhu family pointed out that Li Dewu was injured... there was probably a hidden secret. On the day of the rebellion, Li Dewu was able to escape, and he had long known that Pei Shuying had the intention to kill her husband. How could he be stabbed by a weak woman?

Li Yuan didn't care about Li Dewu, but he was a little worried about Li Shan's reputation in the future, so after Zhu left the palace, he specially summoned Li Shan... Since he hated him, it was better to send him away and be a small official in the south of the Yangtze River, and never see him again in this life. See you.

Obviously, this method is the best choice for Li Shan... his reputation will not be damaged, and he will not have to worry about Li Dewu clinging to him.

But Li Shan said that he only obeyed his mother... Zhu's idea was very clear. Li Dewu was allowed to recuperate in Jingzhao. After recovering from his injury, he would immediately set off for Lingnan without staying.

"Huairen..." Li Yuan was still hesitant, "Although it cannot be revealed to the world,... at least the former prince Zhongyun Wang Gui already knows."

"It can't be perfect, can it?" Li Shan smiled, "My nephew doesn't want to be abandoned like a champion. He can recognize his father. However, my nephew was sent to a desperate situation by his biological father. If he hadn't met Su Dingfang by chance, he would have been dead. Die Shandong."

Li Shimin, who had remained silent, thought in his heart that maybe Li Shan also had self-defiling thoughts. His father wanted to kill his son. If such a thing would not be publicized, then rumors of an unkind father and an unfilial son would likely spread in the future.

"That's all, that's it." Li Yuan sighed, thinking that his Erlang was quite a legend in his life, and Huairen was also quite a legend in his life, or even more legendary.

Li Yuan no longer thought about this and said in a deep voice: "The additional ordnance has been allocated. The armies are stationed in Xianyang, Xinfeng and other places. They will set off early tomorrow morning. The rewarded money and silk have been allocated by the Minister of Civil Affairs. There will not be a penny less."

Most of this cavalry came to Jingzhao from Hedong, Yanzhou, and Lingzhou. They traveled continuously to fight, and it was reasonable to give them heavier rewards. Li Yuan would not be reluctant to part with these small coins.

"The generals are waiting in the imperial city now." Li Yuan stood up and held Li Shan's hands, "Huairen is a famous general in the world. I have nothing to worry about, except for one thing."

"I have strictly ordered Han Liang, Su Dingfang, and Wen Yanbo not to allow Li Huairen, the heir to the throne of Wei, to charge into the battle in person at any time."

"My nephew knows my uncle's good intentions." Li Shan chuckled, "It's just that I should give these words to His Royal Highness."

After being stunned for a moment, Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, "The same goes for Erlang. Now that he is the prince of the prison country, how can he go into battle personally? If there is any injury, how can a father take care of himself?"

"Father is right, it's the child's fault." Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Li Shan. During the Battle of Jingyang, he personally crossed the river to investigate the military situation... It has been many years. It is rare to have the opportunity to go into battle, or to commit suicide again. Chance.

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will return to Beijing before the end of the year." Li Shan said with a smile: "Eleventh Mother is giving birth in the first month of the year. If she doesn't return to Chang'an, I'm afraid my father-in-law will severely punish her."

After walking out of Ganlu Hall and bypassing Liangyi Hall, Li Shan and Li Shimin walked towards Chengtian Gate. "Gu has gone to Xinhebei to mobilize troops from Weizhou, Xiangzhou, Luozhou, Beizhou and other places." Li Shimin said as he walked: "Shuang Shiluo, the general manager of Dingzhou, is an official of Tiance Mansion. He is brave and good at fighting. Wei Governor Tian Liuan and Huairen are old acquaintances, and Huang Junhan has been promoted to governor of Youzhou, but among the generals in Hebei, the most strategic one is Cheng Mingzhen, the governor of Luozhou."

"Cheng Mingzhen is a first-class military and political figure." Li Shan nodded in agreement. "In this defeat, Qi Shanxing underestimated the enemy and had no backup plan, so Shouyang was captured."

"Liu Hongji is an old man from Jinyang and is familiar with the terrain of Hedong." Li Shimin continued: "The Queshu Valley is difficult to navigate. How can Huairen crack the Turkic Palm Lingshi, Jiahu Fort, and Gaobiling?"

"Actually, it is not difficult to cross the Queshu Valley. I have already asked the messenger. Although there is no snow in Jinzhou and Fenzhou, it has been raining." Li Shan has obviously considered it, "We will use the infantry to set up a formation through the Queshu Valley, and the cavalry to intersperse. If we go north, the Turks will definitely not be able to hold on."

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, "Huairen has already made up his mind, Gu is relieved."

The key to Li Shimin's point is that Li Shan is using cavalry. If the cavalry passes through the extremely narrow Queshu Valley, it will be easily attacked by the Turks. In a hurry, it is most likely to be lost.

If infantry is used to pass through Queshu Valley, and cavalry are inserted through it, it will not only ensure safety, but also allow the Turks to see the Tang army's intentions... King Wei Si came with a large army, and the Turks could not be so far away from Bingzhou. We must hold on and concentrate our forces at the very least. This is a direct result of Li Shan's fame.

"In addition, after arriving in Huoyi, if you want to contact the armies in Hebei, you can send the messenger from Tongjunchuan to Bizhou and Luzhou. You can take the mountain road to the east of Bingzhou. This is the road that the messenger took before."

Li Shan responded one by one and sighed in a low voice: "I wonder what the situation is like in Shuozhou..."

Li Shimin also sighed. A group of messengers from Shuozhou also came the day before yesterday and walked a long way to reach Chang'an. According to the time calculation, there is not much food and grass now... After all, it has been more than a month.

Liu Shirang was Li Shan's direct descendant, and Li Shimin also attached great importance to Li Shiji.

After a pause, Li Shimin asked: "Are there enough troops?"

"That's enough. Tuli Khan has about 60,000 to 70,000 troops. He has left some troops in Shuozhou. The current strength in Bingzhou should be between 40,000 and 50,000."

Li Shan had already checked the battle reports sent from Hedong and calculated, "Now, excluding the remnants of the Bingzhou Army, the remnants of the Daizhou Army, and the Hebei troops, Duke Liu Hongji of Ren still has six to seven thousand troops, and most of them are under the command of Duke Qu Tutong of Chiang Kai-shek." There are less than 20,000 infantry."

"This time we will mobilize cavalry from various places. There are six to seven thousand cavalry from Hedong, about six thousand cavalry from Yanzhou, and more than two thousand cavalry from Lingzhou, Ningzhou, and Yuanzhou."

"In addition, there are troops from Longzhou and Qizhou retreating south, plus the original Jingzhao cavalry, about four thousand."

"There are more than 20,000 infantry and about 20,000 cavalry in total, which is enough to meet the enemy."

Li Shimin nodded, his troops were not at a disadvantage, and in Li Shan's previous battles and every major victory, his troops did not have an advantage. He was good at using changes in terrain to increase his own advantage.

At this time, they had already left Chengtianmen, and the two of them walked into the Beiya Forbidden Officer's Office, and the noise immediately fell silent.

Li Shimin pointed to the main seat, smiled and sat next to him. Li Shan hesitated a little. Han Liang on the side pulled the main seat away, and Li Shan sat down.
