Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 377

After knowing Yuan Xiaozheng's secret arrival in Dai County, Li Shan quickly judged that the young man's intention was to leave a way out for his father Yuan Junzhang.

But after Li Shan discussed with Yuan Xiaozheng, he became aware of Yuan Junzhang's attempt... Well, Yuan Xiaozheng is too young, and his mouth is not very firm.

Yuan Junzhang may really have the heart to vote for the Tang Dynasty, but what he wants is not to enter the court as an official like Guo Zihe who once occupied Yunzhou, but what he wants is territory, to be able to occupy a piece of land in Shuozhou and Yunzhou territory.

This is a typical character with both ends... In the Turkic side, Yuan Junzhang's status is not high. If he joins the Tang Dynasty, he will not receive special preferential treatment, and his power may be greatly reduced.

And what was placed in front of Yuan Junzhang was a living example, citing Shuozhou to vote for the Tang Dynasty, Gao Manzheng, a former subordinate of the duke of the state.

After Gao Manzheng voted for the Tang Dynasty, he was immediately appointed as the general manager of Shuozhou. Not only did his soldiers not decrease, but he also received supplies from the Tang Dynasty from Hedong, and he was still the head of Shuozhou.

Therefore, Yuan Junzhang has made up a similar idea... Li Shan quickly heard the meaning from Yuan Xiaozheng's words, and immediately judged that Yuan Junzhang had a plan to attack Shuozhou again, which is also consistent with The information obtained by Fan Shiyi matched.

Regarding relevant information, Li Shan has already written letters to Liu Shirang and Li Gaoqian, but these are not his main responsibilities, and his attention is still on business matters.

For the Yuan family, if they want to gain a foothold in Shuozhou, they must either gain the trust of the Turks, or get the pardon of Li Yuan, but no matter which side it is, Yuan Junzhang, who has just been defeated and has lost power, hopes to get support.

This support is both political support and resource support.

In this case, Li Shan appeared in Yuan Junzhang's sight.

After discovering that Tuesday Lang sent people to recruit people, Yuan Junzhang quickly sent people to Dai County to inquire. Some public information is not confidential. public matter.

This is a person trusted by Emperor Li Tang and even the royal family. He has a close relationship with Li Gaoqian, the guard of Yanmen, and is also the founder and person in charge of this commercial route. In addition to goodness, the room for choice is actually very narrow.

As for those prominent families in Hedong, sorry, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Daizhou have all ruled the roost with sabers these years, and the influence of the aristocratic families on these places is very weak... Uh, of course, Yuan Junzhang joined the Turkic invaders several times. The whole family was damaged by it.

Therefore, in a short time, the Yuan family can only choose Li Shan.

Yuan Junzhang asked his son to come to test him out, but he was completely limped by Li Shan!
Li Shan soon found out in the conversation that Yuan Xiaozheng, a young man, was ignorant of martial arts. He had read a lot of poetry and books but had little talent. The most important thing was that the elder he respected most was his grandfather Shi Yuankan, the former governor of the state.

Yuan Kan, a native of Mayi, Shuozhou, was born in a powerful family, good at strategy, and also able to dance spears, but it was his extraordinary literary talents that made him famous in Hedong... He was once praised by Xue Daoheng of the Xue clan in Hedong.

Then... Then, Ma Zhou intentionally or unintentionally brought it up in front of Yuan Xiaozheng, and in the absence of Li Shan, he mentioned that Li Shan's poetry in Chang'an overwhelmed a city of heroes.

Li Shan completely forgot what he planned to do when he left Chang'an... This trip to Dai County will never make him famous for his poetry.

In other words, I will definitely not plagiarize anymore!
After listening to Ma Zhou reciting the poems that have been passed down through the ages, Yuan Xiaozheng fell in love with Li Shan's admiration... Don't you admire it? !
After Li Shan knew that Yuan Xiaozheng was most obsessed with the article "Ai Lian Shuo", he immediately set up a trick... and asked Xiaoman to tidy up the study in a very simple way.

Then...then Li Shan summoned Yuan Xiaozheng in the study, and the "Humble Room Inscription" came into being.

Such a famous story through the ages appeared in front of him, such a scene... might be left in the annals of history, Yuan Xiaozheng turned into a fanboy, and kept claiming that Li Shan was his "teacher".

After several refusals, Li Shan had no choice but to accept this disciple.

I'm sorry, I really can't teach you anything... Li Shan is going to let this guy read more poems and books, and finally let the phrase "Articles are made naturally, and you can get them by chance" to come out.

It's not that I don't teach you!
However, since they are masters and apprentices, they must be honest with each other. Li Shan gently took Yuan Xiaozheng to the backyard, and said with a smile: "For the caravan, please leave it to Xiaozheng."

"Master Li, don't worry." Yuan Xiaozheng patted his chest and swore.

Li Shan felt that his face was a little hot, and he didn't know if it was red. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "My teacher, Yilian, considers himself a gentleman, but he formed a caravan to go out to do business. I think Xiaozheng has doubts."

Although Yuan Xiaozheng is a bit naive, he is not stupid, he said with a smile: "When I saw Zhou Zhou Lang sent people to persuade the people to return to their homeland, and exchanged wine for cattle and horses, my disciples knew that Master Li organized a caravan to go out. There are other plans."

Li Shan nodded approvingly, "There will be a war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty. There is a lack of good horses in the court, and there is even a shortage of cattle in Guanzhong. As a teacher, you have to get a secret promise..."

Yuan Xiaozheng wondered in his heart, did this "shang" refer to the emperor or the prince?

It is said that Li Gaoqian, the general of Zuowuwei, the guard of Yanmen, and Li Shi are good friends, and the former is the prince's confidant.

Just as he was thinking, Yuan Xiaozheng suddenly heard Li Shan change the subject, "Mr. Yuan wants to attack Mayi this year?"

"Uh……"

"Because of the Turks, it's a helpless move." Li Shan shook his head indifferently, "This matter is fine, I just hope Xiaozheng will protect the caravan."

"Master Li, don't worry." Yuan Xiaozheng patted his chest for the second time and assured, "There is absolutely no mistake!"

Li Shan smiled and wondered in his heart how many troops the Turks would send in this battle, but theoretically it is already the end of September, and it will be October soon, and even if the Turks help Yuan Junzhang conquer Mayi... Yanmen should be fine. At least half a year away.

At this time, Yuan Xiaozheng asked cautiously: "Master Li, I have something to ask, I don't know if I should ask it or not..."

"Since you and I are masters and apprentices, we are naturally honest." Li Shan's eyes were sincere.

"That day in Yunzhong County, Ashinasheer..."

"Hahaha." Li Shan laughed loudly and said, "Last year when Sheer attacked Hebei, I had a relationship with being a teacher, and the fame in Shandong was thanks to him."

Yuan Xiaozheng heard Li Shan mention it, his face turned red, and he seemed a little excited, "Master Li is both civil and military, he is really an outstanding man."

Li Shan listened to his apprentice's flattery with a smile, but repeated a few words over and over again, and interrupted: "By the way, you and I don't need to hide the matter from Mr. Yuan when we go back to Yunzhou, but if we meet a Turkic nobleman, we still don't mention it." it is good."

Yuan Xiaozheng didn't know why, but he nodded in response.

Please, if Ashina Sheer knew that I was in Dai County, it might not be a big deal, but if Ashina Yugu found out, that guy would definitely come to Yanmen with a knife regardless!
