Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 430 Let You Go Back
Heavy snow fell from the sky all the time, Yuan Pu looked up a few times, compared to the previous two days, the snow was heavier, but today there was not too much wind... Leaving Mayi, a group of people once again landed at the place where yesterday evening In a dilapidated village.

Li Shan nominally said...he wanted to sleep all night without rest, but Yuan Pu always felt that something was wrong, why didn't he sleep in Mayi?
Are you afraid that Yuan Junzhang will repeat it again?

If there were repetitions, since this place is so close to Mayi, if Yuan Junzhang sent someone to hunt him down, would he be able to escape?
Thinking of the thrilling scenes last night, Yuan Pu was still excited, but he was also depressed... He was ordered by His Majesty to call Liu Shirang back to Beijing to question his crimes, but Li Shan left Liu Shirang in Mayi, and even let Huaiyang Wang Li Daoxuan sent his old troops to Mayi, apparently with the intention of letting Liu Shirang guard Mayi.

Yuan Pu is not afraid of His Majesty's questioning... Tonight, except for attacking the camp, Li Shan has brought himself by his side, just to let himself report the truth to His Majesty.

Liu Shirang has no intention of surrendering the enemy. On the contrary, breaking the camp tonight is a great achievement.

But Yuan Pu's frustration lies in... Since Liu Shirang has no intention of surrendering to the enemy, Li Gaoqian, Duke of Jiangxia County, is a false accusation.

And Li Gaoqian is the confidant of the prince of the East Palace, and the impeachment memorial of Li Gaoqian is also attached with the Xiangyi king Li talisman.

Yuan Pu was Li Yuan's old man when he was in Taiyuan, and now he is still in charge of the Shaofu. This time, he was sent by Li Yuan because he was born in Yanmen County... He never wanted to offend Prince Li Jiancheng.

It is conceivable that if Li Shan used this to make trouble and Li Gaoqian was questioned by the court, how would the crown prince treat Li Shan... Yuan Pu didn't want to know, but he was sure that the crown prince would find him very unpleasant.

"The magistrate hasn't rested yet?"

Zhu Shitou was on duty today, and Zhu Ba was given [-] lashes last night... There are still [-] lashes left after returning to Yanmen Pass. If Zhu Wei and Su Dingfang knew, they would probably have to add another [-] lashes.

Zhu Shitou went in to report, and soon invited Yuan Pu in.

"Yuan Gong hasn't rested yet?" Li Shan rubbed his blue eyes and said with a smile, "Fortunately, he succeeded, otherwise he would really be a burden to Yuan Gong."

"At the time when the dog's teeth were intertwined, he broke the camp on a snowy night and forced Yuan Junzhang's entire army to vote. Such a great achievement is truly well-deserved." Yuan Pu complimented a few words before asking tentatively: "I will report to Your Majesty what happened tonight when I return to Beijing... ..."

"That's natural." Li Shan sighed, "Someone will write a letter too."

"To be honest with Duke Yuan, I also suspected that the Marquis of Yiyang County had the intention to vote for the Turks before I came down...Jiangxia County Duke and Xiangyi King were too persecuted, and in addition to the fall of Mayi, Gao Manzheng was almost wiped out."

Li Shan smiled wryly and said: "Besieged on all sides, we are in a desperate situation... If you don't vote for the Turks, you will end up in dire straits."

"I heard that the Marquis of Yiyang County took the lead in destroying the camp tonight?" Yuan Pu also said with a wry smile, "How will I report back when I return to Beijing?"

"Repay according to the facts." Li Shan frowned, paused, and said, "Jiangxia County Duke and Xiangyi King are worried about state affairs, it's not wrong..."

Yuan Pu finally put his heart back into his stomach, thinking that as long as you don't make decisions for Liu Shirang, Li Gaoqian may not be questioned by the court... The Crown Prince of the East Palace may not be furious.

Seeing Yuan Pu's expression slow down, Li Shan thought to himself, this guy is not young, but he is not too deep in the city... In fact, regarding Liu Shirang, one only needs to think deeply about it to know that things are not that simple.

Li Shan had tried several times before, and found out from Yuan Pu's mouth that Li Gaoqian and Li Shenfu sued Liu Shirang for secretly communicating with the Turks... There is a faint shadow of the East Palace behind this matter, and the arrest of Liu Shirang's family members is the left servant of the Minister Shoot Pei Ji ordered.

Li Shan even guessed that Pei Shiju might have made a move... If Liu Shirang turned his back on him, he would be blocked outside Yanmen Pass if he was not good.

But why did Donggong make a move?

Although there is no evidence, Li Shan feels that the connection between Li Gaoqian and Li Shenfu is too close... Yuan Xiaozheng was in Xinzhou that day and found Cao Chuantuo behind the two.

The Li talisman might have some contact with the East Palace... Li Shan faintly sensed the weirdness in it, so, if Li Yuan agreed to the battle tonight, and Xu Liu Shirang was stationed in Mayi, what would happen to the Li talisman?
Mayi hangs alone to the west of Yanmen Pass, and may be invaded by Turks at any time. Not everyone can garrison Mayi.

It requires the determination to die, the talent of a general, and an official who is absolutely impossible to surrender to the enemy... Gao Manzheng before is an example.

But now, apart from Liu Shirang, Li Shan can't think of anyone who is qualified and has the courage to take on this important task.

There are many stronger generals than Liu Shirang in the imperial court, and Tiance Mansion can pull out a row... But who can guarantee that they will be as rock-solid under the siege of the Turkic army?

But Liu Shirang can guarantee...the blood of Yu Sheshe is still on his hands.

However, for Liu Shirang to be stationed in Mayi, he must get support from the direction of Yanmen... In addition to food and grass supplies, Yanmen Pass and Mayi are at an angle, so Liu Shirang needs a general who can at least maintain communication with him.

Li Shan himself does not have this qualification, at least not on the surface.

Now Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan who is stationed at Yanmen Pass has this qualification, but he does not have the name of staying in Hedong Road for a long time.

There is only one person who really has this qualification, He Dongdao Marching Chief and State Chief Xiangyi King Li Shenfu.

If Li Yuan decides to have Liu Shirang stationed in Mayi, it is very likely that the Li talisman will be translocated.

After all, the Li talisman can be replaced, but Liu Shirang is very difficult to replace.

In fact, what Li Shan thinks in his heart is similar to that of Yuan Pu... I'm afraid he will offend Li Jiancheng this time.

Li Shan doesn't care about offending Li Jiancheng, after all, he has not joined the King of Qin's command on the surface, and on the one hand, he holds the public, and on the other hand, he has Princess Pingyang as a guarantee.

But there is also a need to make concessions... Li Shan gritted his teeth, Li Gaoqian was lucky, and originally thought about taking advantage of Cao Chuantuo to get rid of this guy.

After discussing for a long time, the two tested each other, and it was basically confirmed. After Yuan Pu returned to Beijing, he reported the truth, but did not mention Li Gaoqian, let alone the fact that Cao Chuantuo was captured by the Turks.

Seeing off Yuan Pu, who was finally at ease, Li Shan pressed his temples wearily, wondering if Li Daoxuan might take over as the head of the East Road army... But Li Daoxuan may not be the most supportive of Li Shimin among the clan's children, but he must be the one who rejects Li Jiancheng the most .

Donggong was afraid that it would be difficult for Li Daoxuan to stay in Hedong... Li Shan thought that maybe he should communicate with Li Shimin in secret, and he could not interfere in this matter.

"Lang Jun, rest." Zhu Shitou came in with the quilt in his arms, "Cui Gong's place has been settled."

"En." Li Shan responded, shook his head and said, "No hurry, no hurry... Is that guy still fighting?"

"I didn't dare for a long time." Zhu Shitou said with a smile, "Tear off the gag and slap him..."

Li Shan burst out laughing, paced out, and saw the association rate with red and swollen cheeks in the dilapidated house on the outskirts of the village.

"Li Shan, Li Shan!"

The association rate ignores the guards on the side and throws their fists at each other, so they will yell at each other.

But then, Li Shan's simple words made the association rate shut up suddenly, and turned into a violent cough.

"Let you go back."
