Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 349 First Encounter with Two Big Brothers (to be revised)

"I heard the name of Yuhuchun early, and an old friend once brought wine as a gift, and got drunk that night. It deserves to be praised by the saint."

The starting point chosen by Li Gaoqian was just right. On the one hand, he pointed out that Li Shan was favored by the sage Li Yuan, and on the other hand, he also pointed out the prince... On that day, Li Jiancheng asked Li Yuan to give him the name Yuhuchun.

The smile on Li Shan's face was impeccable, "The Duke of the county is good at drinking, and when the war rests, he will offer it to him."

Li Gaoqian was so excited that he actually commented on the famous wines in the world one by one, praising Yuhuchun as the No.1 wine in the Northland, clear as water and strong as fire, which made people feel proud.

After going around in circles for a long time, Li Gaoqian brought the topic back, "Ten days ago, a certain soldier from Yanmen led an army out of the fortress, and wanted to call you to join the army, but Mr. Liu flatly refused."

Liu Shirang once rejected Li Gaoqian's suggestion to join the army?

Li Shan who was at a loss said vaguely: "I'm young, I dare not..."

"Hahaha!" Li Gaoqian laughed loudly, "Why is Huairen so humble?"

"Last year in the Shandong war, he planned to make meritorious deeds, captured and killed Liu Heita, and was awarded a knighthood. This matter was widely rumored in Chang'an."

After a pause, Li Gaoqian sighed: "I think Huairen also knows that Liu Gong is arrogant. Yanmen is located on the east side of Mayi, and it is like a horn. In order to protect Mayi, Liu Gong arrived at Yanmen ten days ago and forced the army to go out. .”

The eyeballs of Li Shan who was sitting upright on the opposite side were about to fall off. Is Liu Shirang so arrogant and domineering?
"You are one of the Twelve Generals..."

"It's just filling in." Li Gaoqian sighed, "Most of the Yanmen garrison is Liu Gong's old troops."

Well, although this is true, Li Gaoqian is doing everything possible to give Liu Shi let eye drops.

Li Shan was dumbfounded. Theoretically, there is no general manager of the Daizhou, nor the military commander of the Hedong Road. In name, it should be Li Shenfu, the director of the Bingzhou, who is in charge of the entire battle in Hedong.

Considering his status and the position of the garrison, Li Gaoqian, the general of Zuowuwei stationed in Yanmen, should be the second in command, and he may not be under the jurisdiction of Li Shenfu, the governor of Bingzhou.

To actually seize the army in Yanmen... Is this something that a minister can do?
No wonder Li Gaoqian and Liu Shirang didn't get along... The one in front of him was either courageous or scheming, so he wouldn't blow the pot?

Li Gaoqian's face was sad, and he added: "Liu Gong lost his position at the age of last year, and it was considered a great shame and shame. This time, he will regain his title regardless of the gains and losses..."

"It's reasonable to help Mayi, but if the army comes out in full force, if the Yanmen falls..."

Li Shan listened silently. After listening for a long time, he always felt in the fog.

It wasn't until Li Gaoqian talked about the old things in Chang'an with a smile... Deliberately pointing out Li Yuan, Li Shan didn't hear something.

This is to remind me that Liu Shirang is not authentic.

He was obsessed with rejuvenation, so he forced the Yanmen army to go out... In this regard, Li Shan didn't know the military situation, so he didn't dare to make rash comments, but he could tell that Li Gaoqian pointed out that he tried to bring him with the army before, but Liu Shirang vetoed it. up.

This is to say that Liu Shirang wants to monopolize the great merit, but he knows that you are favored by the saints, so he will give a little credit to win you over.

Be careful!

Li Shan was also speechless, as he had guessed along the way, and he fell into this kind of shit again.

In Chang'an, winning the heirloom still pays attention to face, even if that guy Luo Yi goes to Beijing to fight, but brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can still fool around with face.

In Shandong, Shi Wanbao was so ruthless that Li Daoxuan fell into the battle, and the latter beheaded Li Daoxuan himself after escaping.

It's the same everywhere, and you can't escape this kind of dispute anywhere, so the nature is different from Chang'an and Shandong last year. Liu Shirang is not from the line of King Qin, but the reason is the same.

Li Shan was fooling around, and suddenly remembered the time when he was on duty in the emergency department. The director and the deputy director fought openly and secretly, and it was a joy. It is said that each of them had the support of a big boss...

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are disputes... If Tao Yuanming wants to be completely alone, he can't escape even if he goes to farm.

"This is a great victory. I will lead the troops out of the fortress with one step. I will be alone, and there will be rewards from the court." Li Shan smiled and flattered, while thinking in his heart, how credible are Li Gaoqian's words?

Said that he wanted to take him with the army, but Liu Shirang refused, so it should not be a lie... After all, he can find out by asking.

It is said that Liu Shirang wanted to monopolize the credit in the past, but now he wants to win him some credit... Li Shan doubts about it.

But the ass decides the position.

For now, Li Gaoqian is what I need, but Liu Shirang... I don't need it for the time being.

Li Shan got up slowly and made a salute, "I'm going to take the imperial examination to become an official. Unexpectedly, when I first became an official, I will act as the county magistrate. The court entrusts me with important tasks, and I dare not slack off in the slightest."

"Your Majesty is the Duke of the county, leading General Zuo Wuwei, and stationed at Yanmen, please don't hesitate in the future."

"A few trivial things are not worth mentioning." Li Gaoqian chuckled, "I think Mr. Liu must be waiting impatiently..."

"A few small things." Li Shan said calmly: "Although I am insignificant, I once chanted "Ai Lian Shuo."

In just over a month, "Ai Lian Shuo" has been spread all over the world, and ordinary people can't hear it, but people like Li Gaoqian naturally know about it.

The lotus is used as a metaphor for a gentleman.

"A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way." Li Shan said indifferently: "I am not weak in my age, and I also have the wish to make contributions."

"I love meritorious deeds more than wealth, and I also get them in a proper way."

The smile on Li Gaoqian's face became more and more intense, and he thought that if Liu Shirang offered to give up... Li Shan recited "Ai Lian Shuo" on the spot, that scene must be very interesting!
Although I hate this kind of crap, but if I want to do something, I have to deal with it, and even take the initiative to get involved... Li Shan said softly: "We will meet each other in the future."

"A certain garrison in Yanmen needs to pay more attention to Dai County." Li Gaoqian wanted to ask what method this young man would use to reject Liu Shirang... Judging from the conversation of the first meeting today, it should not be rejected outright.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Li Shan suddenly paused and said with a smile, "I heard that the Duke of the county brought two thousand men out of the fortress?"

Li Gaoqian nodded, "There is a shortage of manpower for the construction of the wounded barracks, Huairen can call them as much as he can."

"It's not for this reason." Li Shan saluted and said, "It's time for the autumn harvest, and the husband wants to go back to his hometown to snatch the harvest, so I ask the county prince to show mercy."

Before that, he stopped at Daying specially on the way, just for this matter... and also for this matter, Li Shancai decided to be invited to meet Li Gaoqian first.

Li Gaoqian was stunned for a moment before he realized that Li Shan was acting as the county magistrate, and this was within the scope of the other party's power and responsibility.

"Don't worry, Huairen, Yuan Junzhang has fled far away, so I will immediately send an order for the civilian husband to return home."

"Thank you, Duke."

Watching the young man walking out slowly, Li Gaoqian touched his nose, he didn't feel any surprise about this person who had risen to fame in the past two years, he was just being polite.

Within sight, Li Gaoqian saw a short and strong man bowing to meet him, Li Gaoqian's eyes flickered, it must be true that this man has good medical skills.

Li Gaoqian had been by Li Yuan's side in his early years and knew the importance of Princess Pingyang. Although Du Xiao didn't serve in the army, his status in Princess Pingyang's mansion was not low, so he was sent out to accompany him, and he was so respectful.

After thinking for a while, Li Gaoqian no longer thought about how Li Shan would reject Liu Shirang, and beckoned his guards to fetch pens, ink, paper and inkstones, thinking that no matter what happened to Li Shan, Liu Shirang would definitely be the first in this memorial, and he had no way to grab it... ...It would always be useful to send a memorial to the saint or the East Palace privately.

After entering the city, Li Shan soon arrived at the gate of Shuozhou Governor's Mansion. Just a few months ago, this place was the land of Yuan Junzhang's grand administration. Governor's Office.

Liu Shirang was writing furiously in the study, when the guard beside him whispered a few times in his ear.

Liu Shirang didn't stop writing, and just said, "Let him in."

He got his own letter to call him, and actually went to see Li Gaoqian first... and Li Gaoqian had strongly recommended him to accompany him with the army, Liu Shirang couldn't help thinking in his heart, could these two be old acquaintances?
Unhurried footsteps sounded, and Liu Shirang still immersed himself in the copywriting and ignored them.

Standing there, Li Shan didn't have any resentment in his heart, he just couldn't laugh or cry... Can he enjoy this kind of treatment?
There was a class reunion in the previous life. A classmate who had left his official career drank and complained. He said that he would report to the section chief. The leader would either write materials or read materials. for a while...

After a while, Liu Shirang put down his pen and turned his head to look. This is a handsome young man, tall, with flying eyebrows and sword-like temples. He has an extraordinary attitude and a vigorous momentum .

Liu Shirang sighed in his heart, since he was demoted last year, it was only a month or so later, his temples were graying, and he was very old, so he could barely hold on to the charge this time, and he might not be able to support it.

"Such a young man is just like bamboo shoots after the rain." Liu Shirang said softly, "You should grow vigorously and climb bravely."

Glancing at the old man in front of him, the wrinkles on his face are no less wrinkled than Li Yuan's. The latter is more famous in history. Li Shan bowed his head and replied: "As Liu Gong said, the boy is vigorous, but he still needs the care of the elders."

"Hehe, hehe." Liu Shirang chuckled twice, got up and took a few steps, "I heard that you are planning to build a wounded barracks, do you have a plan?"

Li Shan's money came from Guantao, and he has been thinking about it for more than half a year. Various regulations have also been adjusted according to the different times and differences in supplies. The dozens of guards trained have also joined forces in Chang'an. The only problem is the supply of supplies.

"The water needs to be clean, the utensils need to be clean, they must not be closed, and they must be exposed to the sun. In addition, there must be sufficient daily rations, preferably chicken and meat."

After the operation, a spacious and airy space, a clean and unobtrusive residence, sufficient nutrition, and careful care are already the best that Li Shanneng has achieved.

But this requires a lot of logistical supplies. It was no problem in Guantao back then, and even more so after Liu Heita's collapse. Naturally, it was not a problem in Chang'an, but it was more difficult in Mayi.

Liu Shirang was a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Shuozhou is vast and sparsely populated, and is often ravaged by bandits. This time, Yuan Junzhang has also attracted Turkic invaders. Daizhou may be able to..."

"Grand Liu, it's autumn harvest in Dai County." Li Shan said with a wry smile, "The army brought thousands of civilians out of the fortress...I just asked the Minister of Jiangxia County to return to the hometown to snatch the crops."

Liu Shirang's eyes flickered, is he explaining to me?

Just as he was hesitating whether to ask a few more questions, a report came from outside the door, "Duke Gao is here."

Li Shan was about to step back, but Liu Shirang waved his hand and said, "Waiting for you with kindness."

Liu Shirang strode out of the house, Li Shan squinted slightly and turned his head to look at him. In the yard was a muscular middle-aged man with a knife across his waist and a loud voice.

There were personal guards outside the door, Li Shan quickly looked away, and thought about it in his heart. In terms of the conversation just now, Liu Shirang is not gentle and refined, but he can't see any arrogance either.

Perhaps because of trivial matters?

Maybe it's a change in mentality due to being demoted last year?

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Shirang came back and said casually, "Two thousand cavalry were chasing north, and Yuan Junzhang fled into Yunzhou to escape with his short tail to survive."

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu."

Liu Shirang signaled his guards to bring a wooden stool, "I've heard about poetic talent for a long time... but I heard that Huairen's knowledge is mixed?"

"Just don't ask for a deep understanding." Li Shan suddenly realized after sitting down, this old man is really as Li Gaoqian said!
At Li Gaoqian's place, they sat down and talked immediately after saluting.

But at Liu Shirang's place, he was forced to stand for a long time at the beginning, and the old man went out temporarily for business, so he didn't ask someone to move a stool!

Liu Shirang asked about everything in detail, basically everything... Li Shan was a little impatient.

Asked from the father and grandparents, asked about the Shandong war, asked about the wounded barracks, asked about the imperial examination, asked about poetry, asked about daily life, asked about Dai County, asked about the rank of title...

"Huiren actually knows how to make ice thaumaturgy?" Liu Shirang's eyes lit up, "I was given a bowl of ice food by the sage the day before I went north to take up my post."

"Summer is so hot that the sage can't bear it. I make ice every day and send it to..." Li Shan was a little confused when he heard it. Could it be that the old man couldn't forget the heat once he went to Guangzhou?
Liu Shirang is not that kind of bureaucrat in essence, he doesn't know much about those twists and turns, he just tried a few words, and then he made up his mind... Being able to send ice into the palace every day, on the one hand, it shows that he is favored by saints, isn't it? Anyone can enter the palace every day, on the other hand, it shows that this young man is good at charming!
Liu Shirang felt that if he was at a disadvantage, he would suffer because he would not be able to fawn over him... Li Shan would cry if he knew that this guy thought so, and I wouldn't be able to fawn on him either!

Picking up a piece of paper from the table and handing it over, Liu Shirang said with a gentle smile, "Huiren has extraordinary literary talent, please consider it for me."

Maybe the old man didn't smile very much in the first half of his life. This smile looked a bit ferocious. Li Shan's throat moved, he took a look, and sighed... Li Gaoqian really guessed right, and he guessed all of them. up.

This is a tribute memorial, and the first credit is naturally Liu Shirang. The long and cumbersome description of how Liu Shirang probed the enemy's situation, led the army to attack to test the truth, and then commanded it well, stood firm in Mayi, and attacked at the right time, defeated Yuan Junzhang, and beheaded three thousand people. , thousands of prisoners...

Liu Shirang, the old man, really dared to do anything for the sake of rejuvenation... It can't be like this for exclusive credit!

Only a few names were added at the back. The first one was Gao Manzheng, the governor of Shuozhou, the second was Li Gaoqian, the Duke of Jiangxia County, and the third was Li Shan.

Gao Manzheng is because of sticking to Mayi, he led the army to remember Yuan Junzhang's meritorious service.

Li Gaoqian led the army to coerce Yuan Junzhang's flank... There was no mention of Li Gaoqian being used as a bait.

And Li Shan is because of his meritorious service in planning, and his meritorious service in building a wounded barracks to boost the morale of the army.

Li Shan is a headache.

While hesitating, Liu Shirang frowned, and his voice turned cold immediately, "Mr. Jiangxia has something else to say?"

Hey, Li Shan had to admit, what Li Gaoqian said was right, true, all right, this old man is really difficult to deal with!

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your kindness."

Only then did Liu Shirang's complexion turn sour, while Li Shan was slandering, while thinking... It seems that he needs to do some tricks.
