Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 409 Yanmen Pass
Looking up, I can see the steep rocks, winding and rugged, and the top is closed. There is a tendency that one man is in charge of the gate, and one man is not open. "

Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan who came with Cui Xin himself said with a smile: "Although he has great power, he still needs a large army of famous generals to protect Hedong."

Cui Xin didn't realize that Li Daoxuan was flattering Li Shan at all, he just smiled, seeing the dark crowd in front of him, he put his legs together slightly, and stepped forward.

Before he could get off his horse, Cui Xin felt that something was wrong. Many people came to greet him, including Xue Zhong, General of Zuoweiwei, Hou Kanling of Linji County, who had just been awarded as General of Zuoweiwei Zhonglang, and an old man with gray hair on his temples. That should be Liu Shirang, the Marquis of Yiyang County, the guard of Yanmen, but Li Shan, the acting county magistrate who has no military power, stood at the forefront.

The seating arrangements are always sloppy, Cui Xin dismounted calmly, Li Shan stepped forward to hold the mount attentively...but Cui Xin walked straight to Liu Shirang without raising his eyes.

Li Daoxuan gave Li Shan a look and said in a low voice, "It seems that my brother's future is bumpy."

The smile on Li Shan's face remained the same, his lips parted slightly, "Where can I escape my little brother's Wuzhi Mountain!"

Li Daoxuan clicked twice, last night Cui Xin landed in Nao County, he chatted with Cui Xin, and mentioned Li Shan several times... This Zhongshushe person has a strange yin and yang...

In addition to the generals and schools, the powerful families of Dai County also rushed to welcome this time, Cui Xinxin felt even more weird. All the family members in the county are very affectionate... They are neither deaf nor blind, and they all know that this is Li Shan's future cheap Lord Taishan.

Even Liu Shirang, who is known for his arrogance and inhumanity, patiently greeted Cui Xin with a smile and humility... Li Gaoqian frowned frequently while listening.

That night, Yanmen Pass held a banquet to welcome Cui Xin. After all, he was a close minister traveling on behalf of the emperor. Li Shan sat at the head seat unceremoniously, watching with a smile that everyone praised Qinghe Cui family and Cui Xin...

But Li Shan seemed to be smiling at this scene, but in fact his thoughts were flying far away. This time Yuan Xiaozheng, Cui Xin and his party went north, and Zhu Ba brought Ling Jing's message. Others don't matter, but there are two points worth paying attention to. One is the arrival of Cui Xin, there can be no problems in it, and the other is that Su Dingfang intends to level Zuo Weiwei.

Don't talk about Yanmen Pass, don't talk about Hedong Road, even if you count the world, you can't find many famous generals who can be compared with Su Dingfang. Transferring to Yanmen is of great benefit to me.

And with the backing of Princess Pingyang, it is not difficult for Su Dingfang to be transferred without Li Shimin needing to clear the checkpoint.

But Li Shan thought far ahead, Ling Jing didn't want to stay in Dai County for a long time, but Li Shan didn't think so.

If you want to stay in Yanmen of Dai County for two more years and avoid the vortex in Chang'an, then there is a place that can best utilize Su Dingfang's ability, and it is also the most dangerous.

Mayi.

No matter from which point of view, Li Shan never wants to see Yuan Junzhang occupying Mayi for a long time. He hopes to expel Yuan Junzhang and choose another good general to guard Mayi before the Turks will commit southern crimes in June and July next year. Yap.

If it is within Yanmen, Su Dingfang actually doesn't have much use for it, but if Su Dingfang is really transferred to Daizhou, will Pei Shiju use means to force Su Dingfang to Mayi?
Not to mention other things, Su Dingfang did a great job when Yu Gu was captured that day.

Li Shan glanced at Du Xiao who was standing beside him, poured a glass of wine, and handed it over with a smile.

Du Xiao stepped forward respectfully, and drank the cup in both hands.

"The story of Nao County must not be leaked."

"Yes."

"This time, Ma Yi and his party have to ask Brother Du."

"Princess and Chai Gong both have orders, and they all obey the orders of your lord."

This time when Cui Xin went north, Princess Pingyang specially sent Du Xiao and a hundred elite personal guards to escort Li Shan and Cui Xin to Mayi to appease Yuan Junzhang. Mix the personal guards of the Princess Mansion with his own personal guards, and let Du Xiao and Wang Junhao lead the team.

At this time, during the banquet, everyone had finished praising Cui Xin, and started to praise Li Shan... Cui Xin squinted, and his eyes collided with the smiling Li Shan.

The future father-in-law is really hard to serve, he looks full of resentment... Li Shan restrained his smile, raised his right hand and made a gesture, the speech stopped during the meeting, and there was a moment of silence.

Cui Xin took a glance and suppressed the shock in his heart. Last year in Qinghe County, the young man he saw was full of vigor and sharp speech. Today's Li Shan is very dignified and awe-inspiring. Liu Shirang and Li Gaoqian, who were famous in Hedong and held high positions, held their breaths and concentrated.

"That's it for today." Li Shan said softly, "Let's go."

Everyone saluted and retreated, Li Gaoqian, Xue Zhong and others joked with Li Shan, leaving only Li Shan, Li Daoxuan and Cui Xin.

Li Shanyan asked the two of them to sit down in the study, and after they were seated, he said, "When will brother Daoxuan return to Beijing?"

It was the end of November, and the king of Qi, Li Yuanji, had returned to Beijing long ago. It was only because Yuan Junzhang captured Mayi that Li Daoxuan delayed until now. It was inevitable to transfer him back to Beijing. After all, Li Daoxuan had no reason to stay in Hedong.

"Third brothers wrote me, about mid-December to return to Beijing, just in time for the New Year's Eve." Li Daoxuan pinched his fingers and calculated, "We should make it in half a month."

From Yanmenguan to Mayi, the fast horse galloped there in one day and night. If there were no accidents, plus negotiations, awards, etc., he should be back within ten days.

Li Shan's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Tomorrow, Yuan Xiaozheng's personal guards will be sent to report the letter, and we will leave the day after tomorrow. Brother Daoxuan will also be invited to sit in Yanmen in person."

"Okay." Li Daoxuan responded immediately, glanced at Cui Xin, and said hesitantly, "The Marquis of Yiyang County..."

"Let's go to Mayi together." Li Shan said bluntly: "Brother Daoxuan will not be left behind."

Cui Xinxin was very suspicious. The saint appointed himself and Li Shan to appease Yuan Junzhang. Why did he take Yiyang County Hou Liu Shirang to Mayi?
Liu Shirang is the guard of Yanmen, and he was ordered to manage Mayi. Half a month ago, Mayi fell, and the court was about to question the crime, but Yuan Junzhang came down... Could it be that Liu Shirang and Li Shan are in the same spirit?
By the way, after three months of Qianmayi's great victory, Liu Shirang gave in to Li Shan, who made him famous... During the banquet just now, Liu Shirang also treated him a lot of courtesy.

The relationship between Li Shan and Li Daoxuan was not polite, after an agreed time, the latter went out, leaving only the future son-in-law.

Reaching out to pick up the wick, the light suddenly turned on, reflecting the figures of the two people on the wall dimly.

"This place is simple and crude, it's too late to wait for Shibo."

Li Shan casually found a topic, but Cui Xinxin got angry unexpectedly.

"If there is no simple place, how can there be the article "The Inscription of the Humble Room"?" Cui Xin sneered: "This famous article has been spread all over Chang'an, and it stands side by side with "Ai Lian Shuo."

Li Shan has completely forgotten that the "Humble Room Inscription" in the previous letter was specially written to Miss Cui for the purpose of expressing his heart, and he just felt baffled.

After thinking about it, Li Shan picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water... This time, before he could speak, Cui Xin's face turned dark.

After a while, looking at the exquisite tea set on the table, and then at Cui Xin's black face, Li Shan couldn't help grinning... I understand, I understand, you are a spoiled girl.
