Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 394 The Beginning
There is an undercurrent in Chang'an, but Yanmen Pass is full of joy.

Liu Shirang's memorial... well, anyway, compared with other memorials he wrote, it played a little role after all.

At least, the sage Li Yuan sent envoys to Yanmen Pass to reprimand Li Shan for being greedy for money... But there is nothing about how to deal with it, and others.

And that night, Li Shan hosted a banquet in honor of the envoy. It is said that the two chatted and laughed happily, reciting poems and composing poems... Liu Shirang finally experienced what kind of weight Li Shan really has.

The envoys came, and at the same time brought with them the decree of dismissing Li Gaoqian as General Zuowuwei and demoting him to General Hussar... This also made Liu Shirang very frustrated.

Li Gaoqian led the Daizhou government soldiers, and it seemed that he should be under the command of Liu Shirang, who managed the Mayi, but in fact he was under the command of Li Shan.

In addition to the [-] soldiers led by General Zuo Weiwei Xue Zhong who had arrived at Yanmen Pass for many days, plus the thousands of remnants who fled back to the pass thanks to Li Shan's kindness, Li Shan has fully controlled Yanmen Pass and completely emptied Liu Shirang. .

However, Li Shan's main energy is not in defending the Yanmen Pass, but in the continuous business affairs.

Li Shan covered the sky with one hand at Yanmen Pass, and his business was booming, which made the current situation in Shuozhou very strange.

Ma Yi fought life and death, and tens of thousands of troops continued to attack. Gao Manzheng asked for help several times, and had already sent several blood letters. He killed Yuan Junzhang's eldest son with his own hands. Once the city is broken, it will be unlucky.

However, the commercial route from Yanmen to Yunzhou is in full swing, and there is an endless stream of caravans. Even many jade pot springs were not sent to Yunzhou, and they were exchanged by Turkic soldiers for good horses in Shuozhou... After all, God It's freezing cold, and the Turkic soldiers don't have to go into battle to attack the city, so it's very boring.

This also led to the fact that the recent batches of horses exchanged were all good horses... Li Yuan even deliberately asked the messenger to comfort Li Shan in private.

"Is this the fourth batch?"

On the city wall, looking at the approaching caravan from a distance, Pei Huaiyi smiled happily, and hugged Li Shan's arm affectionately, "Don't worry, Huairen, if you bring back a good horse to farm cattle, it will be easy to talk about!"

Li Shan chuckled, "Brother Huaiyi, it's just as usual, I don't dare to share the wealth with the noble family."

"Huairen's words are wrong." Pei Huaiyi said seriously, and said in a low voice: "The sixth uncle has already reprimanded my brother, and besides, Huairen is a state affairs, how dare my brother take it away?"

After leaving Chang'an, Pei Huaiyi went directly to Yanmen Pass, and it happened that the fourth batch of caravans returned to the pass. During his stay in Chang'an, he was unable to see Pei Shiju, and had to be ordered by Pei Ji who didn't know the inside story.

Li Shan is a man who is favored by saints, Jane is in the heart of the emperor, Donggong wants to be gentle, and Li Gaoqian was able to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, but was not expelled from the rank, and there is also a reason for Li Shan's help... In a word, you, Pei Huaiyi, want to have a good relationship with him. .

In fact, even without Pei Ji's order, Pei Huaiyi was not going to fight against Li Shan again... Although there was no news on the surface, secretly the nobles in Chang'an already knew about Ma Yin.

With Qiao Guo Gong Chai Shao as the guarantee, the first batch of hundreds of good horses transported to Chang'an left countless people dumbfounded... Guanzhong said that there was a shortage of horses and horses, and that there was no shortage of horses and no shortage of horses, but such a large number of good horses , is really rare.

Sun Shunde, the Duke of Xue who captured Qu Tutong alive, publicly lamented that such a good horse, only Xuanjia was seen in this court.

After the battle of Hulao, everyone in the world knows that the head of Li Tang's rule in the world is in Tiance Mansion, and the head of Li Shimin's southern and northern wars is in Xuanjia Bing. A batch of good horses.

On the day Pei Huaiyi left Chang'an, the grain transportation team formed by Changsun's family happened to set off. When he arrived in Taiyuan, there were grain transportation teams heading towards Daizhou from Hedong and even Shandong Road.

In other words, the gradual expansion of Yuhuchun Winery is no longer something that the Pei family, the Liu family and other prominent families in Hedong can control.

Li Gaoqian strode forward and said with a smile: "Mingfu is really a good method!"

"The little brother calls you brother Gaoqian, and the elder brother calls Mingfu?" Li Shan glared at Li Gaoqian unceremoniously, "Could it be that the little brother wants you to call him the Duke of the county?"

"Brother, I made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue." Li Gaoqian laughed loudly. Although he was demoted, he was not deposed, which didn't affect him too much.

On the contrary, he led the army of the county government, which happened to break away from Liu Shirang's command, and was relatively independent. After all, Li Shan didn't interfere in the military very much, which made Li Gaoqian very satisfied... So Li Gaoqian made great efforts to take Liu Shirang aside.

Li Shan smiled like a spring breeze, "Brother Gao Qian will be punished, and when the wind catches up later, he will be fined to drink three cups in a row."

"Yuhuchun is now well-known inside and outside the Guan, drinking such a famous wine is not a punishment." Pei Huaiyi shook his head and said: "Brother Gao Qian should be punished not to drink tonight."

The three of them were talking and laughing happily. Kan Leng, who was a little further away, muttered dissatisfiedly. Xue Zhong, who had been at Yanmen Pass for many days, just watched this scene with a smile... Having experienced the three battles of Guantao, Weixian, and Yongji, Xue Zhong knew this Guantao very well. The county magistrate has a deep scheming heart, and his words and deeds have deep meaning.

It seems easy for Liu Shirang, who wants to manage Mayi under the sacred order, but in fact it is not easy. Li Shan wants to control Yanmen, so he has to give in to people like Li Gaoqian and Pei Huaiyi.

Wang Junhao glanced at the little milk dog under Li Shan's feet. After half a month, his belly was round and round, and he was crawling around Li Shan's feet... He clearly remembered that Li Shan was holding the little puppy that night. What the dog said.

"switch!"

Following Li Gaoqian's order, fifty or sixty fully loaded carriages drove slowly into Guanzhong, behind them were hundreds of tall horses, the horses neighed continuously, and knights with harnesses galloped left and right.

Amidst the laughter, Liu Shirang, who was alone, watched this scene from a distance, with regret and deep thought in his eyes.

After being expelled and dismissed from office, Liu Shirang was able to recover. Liu Shirang got off to a very good start. Before Gao Manzheng promoted Shuozhou to vote, and later Yuan Junzhang fled in a big defeat. In the end, he ended up in such a situation of being criticized by everyone and besieged by all sides. .

Although he is not good at intrigue and has no support from the court, Liu Shirang is not stupid. He is still standing at Yanmen Pass because Mayi has not yet fallen.

Once the city of Mayi is broken, is there anyone else to take the blame?

Even Liu Shirang has noticed Li Shan's wariness against him... Now Yanmen is closed to everything, Li Shan is the leader, Li Gaoqian and Xue Zhong are assisted, but the guard of the city gate is Hou Kanling of Linji County who has recently gained fame in the army.

Unlike Li Gaoqian and Xue Zhong, Kan Leng only obeyed the orders of Li Shan at Yanmen Pass.

Liu Shirang sighed softly, and his eyes fell on the young man in the green shirt for a long time.

He doesn't regret fighting with Li Shenfu, nor does he regret moving Li Gao out of Mayi, but he regrets that he easily expelled Li Shan in Mayi two months ago...Since Huairou, he can't give up halfway.

Although Li Shan refused to take the blame for himself, he didn't expose the matter directly, instead he made a name for himself...

At this moment, outside Yanmen Pass, within sight, a column of smoke rose into the clouds suddenly, Liu Shirang's pupils shrank slightly, and Mayi was finally captured.
