Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 461 Messenger
It has to be said that Li Shan has seen a lot of the descendants of the Li Tang family. Needless to say, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also have historical impressions.

For the others, Li Shentong is relatively mediocre, Li Daoxuan has little majesty but caress about everything, Li Daoxuan deliberately imitates Li Shimin's sharp style, Li Yuan... er, that is a waste.

But no matter what his temperament is, after all, Li Tang ruled the world, and all the children of the clan were proud of it, but this Li Daozong had a humble temperament, handled things steadily, and interacted with others like a spring breeze, without a trace of arrogance.

In fact, in history, Li Daozong had a conflict with Yu Chigong during the Zhenguan period, and was almost blinded in one eye, but he didn't care about it.

"If Brother Daoxuan is in Hedong, I'm really afraid that he will rush to fight again." Li Shan said, "Brother Daozong, the grandson of Wu Aomiao..."

"Huiren has won the prize."

"It's definitely not an over-reputation. The year before last, I strongly advised Brother Daoxuan not to fight." Li Shan sighed.

In September last year, the Liang division led tens of thousands of Turks to besiege Lingzhou. In fact, Li Daozong had a lot of troops, but he insisted on not fighting. defeated the Turks.

The two walked casually in Yanmen Pass. After talking for several days, Li Daozong almost figured out the details of Li Shan. The young man in front of him was actually not good at specific military affairs, but he was quite familiar with people.

There are thousands of guards at Yanmen Gate, and the division of labor between generals and schools is clear. Everyone has specific responsibilities, and there is no ambiguity. All kinds of defense equipment, ordnance, as well as food and grass supplies, logistics supplies, and civilian husbandry are all in order.

This is unavoidable. There are many similarities and differences between later generations and this era, but there is one thing that Li Shan feels very deeply, and that is the division of labor.

In the later generations, almost every industry should be subdivided and divided as much as possible, and the power and responsibility should be assigned to the people as much as possible, so as to save troubles... although disputes are often unavoidable.

After evacuating Liu Shirang, Li Shan did not make any major changes to the Yanmen Pass defenders, but he did his best to refine the division of labor. Even for the deployment of civilian husbands, the number and frequency of civilian husbands deployed from various parts of Daizhou were also discussed with Zhechong Prefectures in various places. Come up with various plans... In short, prepare for the reserve.

Moreover, a clear system has been established at many key points...you are the person in charge, and I will only come to you if there is a problem.

Looking all the way, Li Daozong thought in his heart that if Li Shan could suppress those arrogant soldiers and generals from the East Palace and Tiance Mansion, it would be absolutely no problem to defend Daizhou.

Besides, didn't the third sister send all the most powerful Ma Sanbao under her command?

There is also that Su Dingfang who became famous in the Western Expedition... This person is proficient in the art of war, and he is from the former Huairen tribe, and he is better at riding and fighting.

"This is the Wounded Barracks?" Li Daozong looked at the large yard in front of him with great interest. He saw no blood, no wailing. Looking around, there were racks drying clothes, and wounded soldiers lazily lying on chairs basking in the sun. You can even see the green grass and small trees.

Although he was only 24 years old, Li Daozong had already been in the battle for a long time. He had charged into the battle in Qianshuiyuan, and he was used to seeing the scenes in the army. Seeing this scene, although he was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help being stunned.

After the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang, the fight for succession became increasingly fierce. Li Daozong lived in seclusion to avoid disaster, and later became the governor of Lingzhou, but he had also heard of Li Shan's name. I am very concerned. This time I came to Yanmen mainly to test Li Shan's political attitude, and I also intend to take a look at the wounded barracks.

"Pomegranate." Li Shan nodded to Zhu Shiliu who was walking over quickly, "The current situation in the camp."

"There are still 130 seven people, all of whom were sent from Mayi." Zhu Shiliu bowed and said, "Among them, 16 were severely injured and 39 were disabled. The rest will recover in about a month."

Li Daoxuan looked around and asked, "Will Yuan Junzhang and Liu Shirang set up that battle?"

"That's right." Li Shan nodded and said, "No matter who they belong to, the injured will be sent to Yanmen Pass."

"How much did you send in total?"

"170 people." Li Shan sighed, "35 of them were seriously injured and died."

Li Daozong's expression moved slightly, and he calculated silently in his heart. Of the 170 wounded, 35 died, and the loss rate was only [-]%. Among them, more than [-] people could recover and go into battle, and the recovery rate was close to [-]%.

In this day and age, this is a very exaggerated figure.

Li Daozong said with emotion: "No wonder... setting up a wounded barracks can really boost the morale of the army."

Li Shan smiled and said nothing.

In fact, the number of wounded in that battle was far less than a hundred people, and more than a hundred people died in the battle alone, and many of them were seriously injured... Even after being sent to Yanmen Pass, Li Shan would check the body immediately, If it can't be cured, they will all be sent to other places, and they are not allowed to enter the wounded barracks.

In other words, those who entered the wounded barracks had a chance to survive.

Among the disabled and difficult to return to the battlefield, there are government soldiers and soldiers under Yuan Junzhang's command. The former is naturally managed by the court, while the latter is granted by Li Shan to live in land in Daizhou, Xinzhou, Weizhou and other places.

The news had already spread to Mayi. Now most of Yuan Junzhang's soldiers are interested in Li Tang's side. After fighting for so many years, who doesn't yearn for a stable life?
In addition, Yuan Junzhang engulfed a large number of young and strong people in Shuozhou and Yunzhou, and many of the soldiers' families moved to Daizhou. Li Shan decided to use this as a breakthrough to gradually weaken Yuan Junzhang's troops and gradually replenish them. He joined the generals and soldiers of the Tang Army and took full control of Mayi.

"From the trade route to the relocation of the people, and then to forcing Yuan Junzhang to surrender, and now he is taking charge of the army with this, Huai Ren has a good way." Li Daozong clicked his tongue twice, "The rings are intertwined, which makes people talk about it."

"Brother Daozong's help is still needed." Li Shan said with a smile: "Now there are no generals under my command."

The assistant officers and garrison generals of the Daizhou General Manager’s Mansion were not appointed until years ago. In addition, there was no war in the twelfth lunar month, so they would not take office until at least the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. As for the soldiers below, Daizhou, Xinzhou, and Weizhou were fine. , the soldiers of other prefectures have to wait until at least after the spring plowing.

Therefore, Li Shan really couldn't do it without Li Daozong's help if he wanted to gradually exchange blood under Yuan Junzhang's command to ensure control.

"Huairen, I have already sent a general for my brother." Li Daozong laughed and said, "When he returns to Beijing, maybe Daoxuan will complain."

At this time, a middle-aged general came striding forward, "I pay my respects to King Ren Cheng and Duke Guantao."

"Don't dare to be Xue Gong's gift." Both Li Shan and Li Daozong either turned sideways to avoid each other, or returned the gift cleanly.

This is Li Daoxuan's old department in Hedong, and now under Li Daozong's command, it is also Li Shan's old acquaintance, Xue Zhong.

But a few months ago, Xue Zhong's daughter was already engaged to Li Daoxuan, and she was considered an elder, but Xue Zhong was a bit old-fashioned, and Li Daozong felt that it was not easy to serve, so he simply sent him to Yanmen Pass.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xue Zhong pointed to the outside of the Great Wall, "Just now there was a barbarian knocking on the pass, claiming to be a Turkic envoy."

Li Shan's heart trembled, did Tuli Khan make a choice so quickly?

Being able to endure Yu Sheshe's death and choose to form an alliance is really underestimated. Seeing the facts clearly, it seems that he is really not an easy fool... Li Shan thought softly, "Please enter the main hall."
