Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 316 Untitled (I really can't think of a title)
In the Liangyi Hall, the emperor's important ministers sat facing each other, and the three princes sat on the side. In the middle, a middle-aged man with slightly white temples was talking freely, with an excited expression and a slight blush on his face.

"The Turkic Southern Invaders mostly passed Shuozhou to the east, crossed Yanmen to invade Daizhou, and went south to face Taiyuan Prefecture. The most serious one was Mayier."

Pei Shiju squinted his eyes and listened, nodded slightly, "That's true, there is no Mayi, and Turkic travel is convenient."

Among the people in the hall today, Pei Shiju is second to none in terms of understanding of Turks, and even Li Yuan and Li Shimin cannot compare in this regard.

"Nowadays Yanmen is difficult to defend. If you can set up a wise and brave general in Nao City and store more gold and silk, those who come to surrender will be rewarded generously. Surprising troops will often be sent to attack the city of Mayi, trampling the crops and destroying their livelihoods."

The middle-aged man said loudly: "Beyond his age, he will have no food, and the money will not be enough."

Li Yuan listened fascinatedly, and nodded again and again. Over the past few years, the Turkic main force came from Yunzhou and Shuozhou every time, passed through Mayi, invaded Yanmen, and then went all the way south... If you can hold Mayi in your hands, it is equivalent to With a nail inserted in Shuozhou, the Turks will no longer be so unscrupulous, and they will also lack the necessary supplies.

It's sad to think about it. Li Yuan started from Jinyang, Taiyuan, which is only a Xinzhou away from Yanmen in Daizhou. Turks killed from Yanmen to Taiyuan from morning till night.

Naocheng is located on the south side of Daizhou, just north of Xinzhou. Going north can plan to attack Mayi, and defend Taiyuan so that the governor of Bingzhou can raise troops to deal with it.

After pondering for a while, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Liu Qing is the only one who is so wise and brave."

The middle-aged man fell to the ground with a loud voice, "I am willing to be the order of Naocheng."

Indeed, it must be this person.

This middle-aged man did not have a good reputation in later generations, but at this time, especially in the north of Hedong Road, he was an unparalleled general. Although he lost against Xue Ju and Lu Chongmao, he was unparalleled in the face of Turks, There are many gains, and the Turks are quite afraid.

Typical civil war layman, foreign war expert.

This is Liu Shirang, who Zeng Jue was appointed as the Duke of Hongnong County, and successively served as the marching chief of Anding Road, the governor of Pengzhou, the marching chief of Shandong Road, and the chief inspector of Bingzhou.

In the third year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty mobilized troops to attack Luoyang. Liu Shirang, who was then the governor of the school and the prefecture, led a large army to attack Luozhou, the hometown of the Xia army. It coincided with the Turkic attack, and Liu Shirang led [-] cavalry to gallop back to help.

Jieli Khan joined forces with Gao Kaidao and Yuan Junzhang to storm Daizhou for more than a month, while Liu Shirang held on to Wuzhou and repelled the lobbyists, causing the Turks to return without success... If there is no Liu Shirang, I am afraid that Li Yuan will also be ordered to attack Luoyang Li Shimin has returned to his teacher.

Since then, Liu Shirang has been quite domineering and aggressive, and he is at odds with Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi who also guards Hedong Road, and was finally removed from the title and moved to Kangzhou last year.

However, Li Yuan has a nostalgic side in a certain way...although he is a bit fake.

Half a year later, Li Yuan summoned Liu Shirang back to the imperial court and appointed him as the governor of Guangzhou. Today, he asked about the border affairs again.

Li Yuan got up and said, "Give the history of the governor of Daizhou, and also the order of Naocheng."

"Liu Qing is leaving here, with a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, and I will give you a good horse, and I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds."

Liu Shirang bowed his head deeply in response, of course he understood Li Yuan's warning... Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi who pulled him off his horse, is now the governor of Bingzhou and stationed in Taiyuan Mansion.

In fact, Hedong Road does not have the so-called Bingzhou administrative area. The so-called Bingzhou Governor actually governs half of Hedong Road, including Taiyuan Mansion. In other words, Li Shenfu is riding on Liu Shirang's head.

Seeing Liu Shirang striding out of the palace, Li Yuan rubbed his brows. The rebellion of the Jianghuai army would have a great impact on the imperial court. If the Chai Shao army in the west was defeated, the Turks invaded south... Li Yuan really didn't have much confidence.

Therefore, after urgently ordering the Sixth Route Army to attack the Huai Army, they immediately focused their energy on the Turkic side, so I remembered Liu Shirang who had just been recalled to Beijing.

The problem in the west is not too big, but it must withstand the Turkic invasion this year, and the chaos in the south can be calmed down quickly... in order to stabilize the situation, Li Yuan felt a little restless, and asked casually, "Is Du Fuwei still in the mansion?"

Pei Ji nodded and said: "Still in the mansion, terrified all day long."

"This bureaucrat is brutal by nature, and he is also the chief general of the Jianghuai Army. He should be expelled and punished."

Looking left and right, basically no one objected, Li Yuan hesitated for a moment... After all, he has learned from the past, beheaded Dou Jiande, and Hebei rebelled twice.

At this time, a palace official came over with a wooden box, and Li Yuan said with a smile: "It's already summer, Zhu Qing, please have a cold soup to relieve the heat."

Chen Shuda took the bowl and looked at it. It was mung bean cold soup, and he could tell it before it even entered his mouth. It was not chilled in Shenjing but put crushed ice, and he couldn't help frowning.

Li Yuan noticed Chen Shuda's gaze, and said with a smile, "Do you want to remonstrate with Zi Cong?"

Among the prime ministers in the court, Chen Shuda was the only one who was not only talented in eloquence and debate, but also had the ability to speak to the country, and he often advised Li Yuan that he was valued by Li Yuan and served as a senior official under his family.

But Chen Shuda is not Wei Zheng, he just smiled, "Your Majesty is the lord of the world, it's just a little bit of broken ice, but it's extremely difficult to store ice in summer, and now it's not the hot summer, I'm afraid Your Majesty's ice storage will be used up early."

Li Yuan laughed and said: "You can drink as much as you want, this is made by Huairen."

Pei Shiju was well versed in the way of keeping in good health, so he only drank slowly and did not dare to drink quickly. Hearing this, his white eyebrows trembled slightly, thinking that this young man... If he had been born more than ten years earlier, he might have been able to drink before Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Yu Maoshi. Compete.

Uh, Yu Maoshi is Yu Shiji, the elder brother of the famous calligrapher Yu Shinan, the most famous courtier in the later period of Emperor Sui Yang's reign, the most charming, and later in Jiangdu, he was killed by Yu Wenhua and Emperor Sui Yang together.

If Li Shan wants to know Pei Shiju's thoughts, he will be called wronged... I really don't understand Meishang, isn't it because Li Yuan entered the palace for several days in a row, Li Yuan was discussing matters, and couldn't find a chance to speak, so he made a few dollars Ice come over to show your hospitality.

After drinking a bowl of iced mung bean soup, everyone went back to their homes, Li Yuan took a nap in the side hall and asked casually, "Is Huairen leaving the palace?"

The palace servants on the side whispered, "The Duke of Guantao County is in the garden."

"It's not too hot." Li Yuan muttered a few words, "Is this going to be in the palace for four consecutive days?"

"Yes."

Li Yuan got up and walked a few steps, remembering what his daughter Pingyang said a few days ago, he couldn't help but think with a smile, this young man is a bit strange, everyone else wants to stay in Chang'an, but he wants to go out and start as a county magistrate.

Not far from the Liangyi Hall, Li Shan was observing the cotton plants under the sun. When he cut open the cotton bolls, the yellow-white fluff had filled the interior, and several cotton bolls had cracked, exposing soft fibers.

I will leave Chang'an soon, and I am afraid that it will be too late to collect the cottonseed. When the time comes, let Li Daoxuan or Princess Pingyang help?
Just thinking about it, Li Yuan asked with a smile from behind.

"Huairen, there is no water and no lotus here, why do you observe carefully?"

Li Shan turned around and saluted, and looked at him with resentment... How kind is this emperor!

Seeing this young man's appearance, Li Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud. The story of that day has spread all over Chang'an... Uh, on the one hand, this is because Luo Yang was beaten so badly, and on the other hand, it is naturally because of the article "Ai Lian said.
