Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 437
When the battle report of Mayi's great victory reached Yanmen Pass, Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen too many local warlords surrender and rebel suddenly. The rebellion in Xia County once almost brought down the newly born Li Tang Dynasty. For this reason, the sage issued a rare order to massacre the city.

Regardless of what happens in the future, the joint efforts of Yuan Junzhang and Liu Shirang to defeat Yugu She proved to a certain extent Yuan Junzhang's sincerity in voting for the Tang Dynasty, and also proved the success of Li Shan and Cui Xin's appeasement.

Li Daoxuan fought fiercely on the battlefield, and he was usually cautious, but his thoughts were not deep. After the First World War in Shandong, he had already devoted himself to Li Shimin's side. He recommended Li Shan in front of Li Shimin many times, and praised Li Shimin in front of Li Shimin many times. .

Especially this time, the sage Li Yuan ordered the arrest of Liu Shirang's family members and called Liu Shirang back to Beijing to question his crimes. of.

In fact, Li Shimin has been in touch with Li Shan through Ling Jing...it doesn't need to be through Li Daoxuan.

After Li Shan sent Li Gaoqian away yesterday, Li Daoxuan came to visit... Li Gaoqian was mentioned in his words as the confidant of the East Palace, and the meaning behind the words is obvious.

But although Li Shan regards Li Daoxuan as a friend, he doesn't want him to know that he has joined King Qin's sect. In today's Ce Mansion, apart from Li Shimin himself, only Ling Jing, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and Changsun Wuji know about it. He was a famous official during the Zhenguan period, and he was the main participant and planner of the Xuanwu Gate Change. Li Shan can be trusted.

But he refused bluntly, so today he simply went to Dai County with Cui Xin... When the urgent letter arrived, Li Shan had already arrived outside the city.

Li Shan read the battle report, shook his head and said with a smile: "Liu Bao is a rough guy, but this time it's just right."

Liu Bao is Liu Shirang's younger brother. He is only 31 years old this year and has always been Liu Shirang's deputy. If someone else leads the army this time, he might have to stop, but Liu Bao went straight into the Turkic formation, which led to this big battle .

Cui Xin nodded after reading the battle report, "This is the final conclusion."

Li Shan smiled, it doesn't really matter whether the battle is won or not, as long as there is a fight, it will be a final conclusion, it proves Yuan Junzhang's sincerity, it also proves the success of his and Cui Xin's conciliation, and it also proves Liu Shirang's loyalty .

"Tell the king of Huaiyang." Li Shan instructed the messenger, "The heavy snow continues, and the battle report will arrive in Beijing later... Uh, let Cui Sheren bring the battle report back to Beijing."

Cui Xin was surprised at first, and then his face became serious, "Why is this so?!"

From Cui Xin's point of view, this is Li Shan's meritorious service for him... If it wasn't for his ability to appease him, how could Yuan Junzhang defeat the Turks?

Li Shan shook his head slightly, "For Shibo...just doing it conveniently."

He remembered the order in which several victory reports were sent to Chang'an in the First World War in Shandong last year. It was very ingenious. Li Jiancheng's face was swollen with a few slaps... That was Ling Jing's arrangement, and he can learn from it this time. study.

After sending the messenger back, Li Shan accompanied Cui Xin to continue eastward. The heavy snow has stopped today, but the snow is still thick. Looking around, it is covered in silver, but it is not a vast expanse of whiteness.

At dusk, there is smoke from the cooking in the villages beside the road. There are children playing and playing, old people talking about the past and the present, and young adults sweeping snow to clear the road.

The puppy in Li Shan's arms poked its head out and barked twice, causing the two dogs to bark at Li Shan.

"Go away!" A man gently kicked the yellow dog away with both feet, and knelt down on one knee, "I pay my respects to Mingfu."

As the voice spread, everyone around looked over and fell to the ground one after another, "Greetings to Mingfu."

"Be careful to wet your clothes and pants, get up." Li Shan got off the horse, hugged the puppy and smiled, and pointed at the leading man, "I remember you, you are the first batch of people who moved here... home, right?"

"The Ming government has a good memory." The man got up and said with a smile, "I heard that the Ming government defeated the Turks this time and forced Yuan Junzhang to vote?"

Li Shan cast a glance, avoided answering, and pointed to the village, "Is the house still warm?"

"Many people in the village covet it." The man's face changed, "This place is okay, but some villages..."

Probably thought that he was really trapped in Mayi, Li Shan knew it well, his face remained unchanged, and he just snorted, "Is there enough food in stock?"

"About enough to eat." The man replied, "I'm just afraid that there will be less good seeds for spring plowing."

"It's okay, there is an arrangement for this matter."

"All are assigned by the Ming government."

Li Shan asked questions casually, and was quite satisfied in his heart. Although relocating people is a strategy for a weak enemy, the more important thing is to make up for the population of Dai County... Now it seems that the effect is remarkable.

It's really hard for Ma Zhou... Li Shan just made a general plan, and he will be stationed at Yanmen Pass for the next two months, and Ma Zhou will be in charge of the specific affairs.

Not far away, Cui Xin was chatting with several old men, and his peripheral vision glanced at Li Shan from time to time.

"The Ming government grants the land to the house and reissues the rations. They are really the parents of a county." An old man with white hair sighed: "I heard that the Ming government went to the fields to grab the harvest in person..."

The old man on the side sighed: "Everyone in the county says, I have never seen such parents in this life."

Cui Xin looked around and felt emotional. Although he came to Daizhou for the first time, Shandong had suffered from wars for more than ten years, and he knew that the people were dying and scattered, and the wars in Daizhou were more frequent than in Shandong, but he saw that the villages were prosperous and densely populated.

After chatting for a while, Li Shan and Cui Xin continued eastward. At this time, the sky was clear and the sunset was gathering. Looking from a distance, it was gorgeous and radiant.

Cui Xin held a horsewhip and pointed to the distance, "Is this Xiashi?"

Li Shan nodded with a smile, "It's just a folk joke."

After taking office in Dai County, the first thing Li Shan did was to build a brick kiln. A large number of red bricks adorned the entire Dai County.

Every evening, when viewed from a distance, it looks like haze, which complements the sunset glow and is indistinguishable from each other, so it is nicknamed "Xiashi".

After riding the horse all the way to Beishikou, Li Shan reined in the reins, the smile on his face was still there, but there was a cold look in his eyes.

"Congratulations to the Ming Palace for their victory and return."

More than a dozen people in charge of the Daixian family came forward to salute, and behind them were seven or eight men whose hands and feet were bound and were thrown into the corner of the wall.

"Think someone died in Mayi?" Although Li Shan didn't get off his horse, he spoke softly. More than ten people bowed together, not daring to look directly.

"It seems that one head is not enough." Li Shan waved his horsewhip. Now that he has achieved great success in Daizhou, he no longer needs to be afraid of these powerful families in Daixian County. "Get out of the way."

Don't even need to think about it, those guys who were tied up, probably made troubles when they were cut off from news... Now that they have returned with power, these powerful clans naturally bowed their heads willingly.

After inspecting Beishi, Li Shan gave a general introduction to Cui Xin, and talked about Fenrun in detail...mainly talking about his own income.

Uh, that's roughly what it means... I have money, and the dowry will definitely not make Miss Cui lose face.

When he left Beishi, He Lou Shanzhu rushed over, Li Shan didn't talk nonsense, and only left a sentence, "Five heads, let them choose by themselves."

Those seven or eight guys, some robbed the house of the relocatees, some spread rumors about Li Shan's death, and some even reached into Beishi and even the wine shop, and they were so bold as to try to interfere with Ma Yin.

After Li Shan arrived in Dai County, he gave many favors and benefits, but now, and in the future, he should use more prestige and less favor.

After returning to the house behind the post station, Li Shan arranged Cui Xin's residence in person, and then put down his face to cook by himself, cooking a table of delicious dishes.

But when the food was served, Cui Xin didn't know where he went.

Under the guidance of his personal guards, Li Shan walked to the back door of the inn, silently listening to the conversation between Cui Xin and the servants of the inn, then went back silently, sat at the table and poured himself a drink.

Although Cui Xin is often slandered as a madman who loves girls, Li Shan never expected that fathers in this era... especially Cui Xin, who came from five surnames and seven families, would actually dote on his daughter so much.

They actually have to ask if the future son-in-law is messing around in Dai County, and if the future son-in-law is getting pregnant in Dai County!

My concubine and maidservant are by my side, do I need to pick roadside weeds?
