Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 485 After the War
The heavy snow that lasted for several days has come to an end. Although the snow is still thick on the ground, the thick clouds are no longer there, and the watery moonlight shines on this ancient city gate.

In the small courtyard, Duan Zhixuan had a rare dignified face, and said in a low voice, "It really lives up to its reputation."

Zhang Gongjin added: "What's more."

Young counselors are not unheard of in history, but today they show their skills in entrusting positions and accepting power. They are not at all like a young man who has just started his official career. On the contrary, they look like old fritters... It is difficult for everyone to refute, but in the end they tear their skins and denounced some youthful spirits .

"Su Dingfang is famous in the army." Duan Zhixuan rubbed his chin, "There is even Ma Sanbao in front..."

Zhang Gongjin remained expressionless.

In comparison, Duan Zhixuan has at least a deputy general manager of Ma Jun. Although he has no real power, he at least has a name, and Zhang Gongjin, the Daizhou... At least from the current point of view, it is completely empty.

Duan Zhixuan said in a low voice: "Just then the personal guards came to report, and he left behind Ren Chengwang, Li Demou and Er Zhu Yichen."

Zhang Gongjin's eyes flickered, but then she sighed... Sima, like Biejia, is an adjutant officer, and whether he can control power is entirely Li Shan's personal choice, but Er Zhu Yichen went out to fight, even if Li Shan deliberately authorized it, he himself did not Reasons for objection... Who made you miss it!
"Your Highness told me to be diligent in state affairs and avoid disputes." Duan Zhixuan muttered, "But you are so restrained!"

From the obvious point of view, the Tiance Mansion is indeed at a disadvantage... Xue Wanche, who is a recorder and joins the military, has real power, and Er Zhu Yichen is afraid that he can get a little bit of money, and the Tiance Mansion only has Li Kai... But After all, it is only acting as a county magistrate, even if it has real power, it is not on the same level.

After a long silence, Duan Zhixuan tentatively asked, "Do you want to trust Your Highness?"

Zhang Gongjin gritted her teeth and shook her head, "You and I bear the great trust of His Royal Highness, and if we fail to succeed, we ask for help. What face do we have?"

But for the next situation, Zhang Gongjin was helpless,
On the top of the city not far from the house, Li Shan caressed the cold city wall and slowly paced, "Yuan Junzhang changed the banner and changed the banner, and the Duke of Yiyang County is stationed in Mayi. The Turks will never sit idly by."

"The establishment of the Desire Valley, the rate of association, and Sheer leading troops southward one after another are nothing more than deterrents."

"However, if Yugu is captured this time, the Turks will not act rashly. From now until May, even if the Turks commit crimes in the south, they will not raise their troops again."

Li Daozong, walking side by side, said with a smile: "Huiren's going out to the fortress this time, he has shown great vigor, a strong army, and has the Valley of Desire in his hands. Jieli Khan is only one son, so naturally we have to weigh the pros and cons."

After a pause, Li Daozong added: "Huiren, a little punishment is all it takes, a slash... It's a pleasure, but there will be endless troubles."

Uh, in the past few days, Yugushe has not had any good fruits to eat... In fact, there were Turkic generals who were detained and captured by Li Tang before, but most of them, even if they were not VIPs, would not be like him, whipping three times a day, simply His body was bruised, and sometimes when Li Shan was in a bad mood, he would personally carry a whip to send him a supper.

Li Kai who followed behind coughed twice, "The battle report has been sent to Beijing, so it should be escorted to Chang'an."

There was another person following behind, Daizhou Sima Zhu Yichen said in a low voice: "What King Rencheng said is very true, first there is Yu Sheshe, and then there is Yugushe... I am afraid that the Turks will attack in a big way in a fit of anger. "

Li Shan understands the implication of Er Zhu Yichen's words... The large-scale invasion of the Turks is the appearance, the key is that if Li Shan kills Yugu She, it is very likely that both the Turkic Jieli Khan and the Turkic Khan will target Li Shan.

Li Shan was silent for a moment and then smiled, "Actually, the Desire Valley setting has been abolished... I'm afraid Jieli Khan only hates having a son now, even if he puts it back, it doesn't matter."

Li Daozong nodded slightly in agreement, but he heard Li Shan continue to say: "Therefore, there is no need to kill him, but a few more whips will not get in the way."

Seeing that Li Daozong wanted to persuade him again, Li Shan smiled and changed the topic, "In the next few months, we will reorganize our military equipment, take care of spring farming, and try out commercial affairs. But if the Turks come to invade, we will ask Brother Daozong to help."

Li Daozong nodded and said: "There is a long talk during the New Year's Eve. It has already been agreed that I am willing to go to the fortress to fight for my brother, but..."

While talking, Li Daozong glanced at Li Kai and Er Zhu Yichen from the corner of his eye. He knew that Li Shan's speaking of these things was nothing more than a warning to those who were forced...

Today's Daizhou is full of talents, but Li Shan and Li Daozong agreed that once the Turks invade, Li Daozong will go out to meet the enemy... Obviously, Li Shan has no trust in these guys under his command.

"My little brother will report this matter to His Majesty." Li Shan thought for a while, then smiled wryly, "Uncle must understand..."

Li Daozong also gave a wry smile, if Zhang Gongjin, Xue Wanche, Duan Zhixuan... really might not be able to do disgusting things.

After hesitating for a while, Li Shan coughed twice, "By the way, Brother Daozong, after the two battles at the end of last year and the first month of this year, Duke Rui has lost his spirit and intends to go to Beijing to meet His Majesty..."

"It's a matter of course." Li Daozong rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile, "It's just a matter of placing people..."

Li Shan added: "Although the Duke of Yiyang County is old and strong, he is over fifty years old..."

Li Daozong's expression froze, Yuan Junzhang was going to leave, Li Shan would definitely go to Ma Yi's side, and take the opportunity to really hold Ma Yi firmly in the palm of his hand. This was all agreed during the New Year's Eve.

If Yuan Junzhang goes away, Shuozhou Governor Liu Shirang must be the one who takes over... Is it necessary to mention these Li Shans?
"open……"

"No way!" Li Daozong interrupted Li Shan with a straight face, "In the Bingzhou Army, Zhang Baoxiang is the most reliable brother!"

Li Shan laughed, "Under Dao Zong's command, good generals are like clouds..."

"On that day, Shi Huan, the governor of Bingzhou, tried his best to dissuade Zhang Baoxiang from leading Jingqi to go north!"

"If Zhang Baoxiang assists Yiyang county magistrate in Mayi, the Turks will come and commit crimes in the future..." Li Shan said sincerely, "Brother Dao Zong led the troops out of the fortress, it's justified."

Li Daozong was laughed out of anger, this kind of reason that even ghosts can't fool is used to fool me?
"Leaving for Taiyuan Mansion tomorrow, Zhang Baoxiang will go south together." Li Daozong didn't bother to argue any further, and simply made a direct decision.

Li Shan persuaded: "Brother Bao Xiang charged sharply, his arrows hit him like a hedgehog, and there are many wounded soldiers under his command. Both Yanmen Pass and Dai County have set up wounded barracks. It's better to rest for a while..."

"If I stay here to recuperate, I'm afraid there will be no trace in the future." Li Daozong's stern face suddenly moved, "How about this... Huairen can send the wounded barracks to escort him south, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Li Shan said with a blank face: "There are more than a hundred guards in the wounded barracks, I'm afraid it's like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth, and they will never return!"

It has not been a day or two since Li Daozong coveted the wounded barracks, and he has repeatedly urged Li Shan to send people to help in the preparations for the army.

Well, the conversation between the two fell apart, but they looked at each other and smiled... Although the friendship between the two is not like that of Li Shan and Li Daoxuan, it is not hypocritical.

Through this battle, Li Daozong confirmed Li Shan's ability, not only because of this great victory, but also because of Li Shan's subsequent skills.

At the same time, Li Daozong also confirmed Li Shan's political stance... Right now, Li Kai and Er Zhu Yichen are still behind him, which also means that their previous agreement on the battle situation in Daizhou and Shuozhou has officially come into force.

Watching Li Daozong go down the wall, Li Shan turned around slowly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said softly: "You two are different from others."

"Brother Ding Fang and a certain are life-and-death friends, Zhang Baoxiang is under the command of Ren Chengwang, and the others... only brothers Demou and Zhonggui fought side by side with a certain, and they have a sense of fellowship."

"Brother Demou and younger brother are close friends, and now they are serving as officials and in charge of the county." Li Shan said slowly: "Everything can be handled, but Brother Zhonggui..."

"Today's appointment, with Ma Sanbao as the leader, has no choice but to appoint Brother Fang to take power. I hope Brother Zhonggui will be considerate."

Erzhu Yichen witnessed with his own eyes today that the Daizhou Army, which was rebuilt a few years later, was basically swallowed by Li Shan, and even the dregs were not left to others... With Su Dingfang's ability and reputation in the army, whether it is Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin or Both Chang He and Xue Wanche could hardly resist.

Li Kai and Er Zhu Yichen looked at each other, the former took two steps forward, and said softly: "Huiren is too worried, in fact, it's not that far."

"what?"

"Xue Wanche... I don't know who recommended it from the East Palace, but the rest of the people were all carefully selected." Li Kai said in a low voice, "For example, Zhang Gongjin and the Qinghe Cui family have a lot of connections..."

Li Shan nodded and said, "Cui Shu, governor of Weizhou, and Zhang Gongjin, governor of Weizhou, voted for the Tang Dynasty together."

"Chang He's wife's family is an offshoot of the Zheng family in Xingyang, but his grandmother's mother's family is from the Qinghe Cui family." Li Kai continued: "Duan Zhixuan's father, Duan Yanshi, is an old friend of brother Xiaoqing's father."

Li Shan sighed in his heart, the prosperity of the family is really awe-inspiring, and it is so intricate. Thinking of this, his eyes fell on Er Zhu Yichen.

Of course Er Zhu Yichen understood what Li Shan meant. The other people either had a good relationship with Li Shan, or had a relationship with Li Shan's wife Qinghe Cui family, or Li Shan's best friend Wang Renbiao. What about you?

Li Jiancheng didn't come here because you are my uncle, Li Shan, right?
Li Kai and Er Zhu Yichen smiled at each other, and the latter said loudly: "Being able to serve as Daizhou Sima actually came from Demou."

Li Shan blinked, this relationship is a bit messy, right?
You are a member of the Eastern Palace, but you became Sima of Daizhou because of Li Kai, the son of Li Keshi, an official of Tiance Mansion?
You are not alone!
The influence of this monster of a family clan... Even if the seizure of the heir is such a big event, it is still difficult to cut off contact. There are actually many similar things.

Li Shan listened for a long time, and couldn't help touching his nose a few times... There is more than one line between Li Kai and Er Zhu Yichen.

First of all, after the Battle of Hanling, Gao Huan killed all the Erzhu people, but Erzhu Yichen's grandfather, Erzhuchang, escaped from Luoyang Palace. Children, where can I escape far?
At that time, it was a woman of Li Kai's mother's family, the eldest grandson's family in Luoyang, who took Er Zhuchang in. After that, Er Zhuchang first entered the Zhou Dynasty and then the Sui Dynasty. It is good for the whole family.

Secondly, Er Zhu Yichen's mother's family is the Li family in Longxi. He lost his father when he was young, and his mother Li family brought him back to his hometown. He has very close friendship with Li Keshi, Li Jing, Li Daliang and others.

Li Kai added: "Speaking of which, Brother Zhonggui's mother is the daughter of Li Daguan, the official of the former dynasty. Li Daguan's younger brother Li Daliang is now serving in the Tiance Mansion, a generation lower than his father..."

Li Daliang did not remember the name Li Daliang in his previous life, but at the end of last year, Li Daliang planned to capture Zhang Shan'an in Jiujiang and defeated the enemy army.

Li Kai was just talking casually, but Li Shan's face was a bit dark... Do you mean that you are a generation taller than my uncle? !

Although he was not angry, Li Shan didn't stop thinking. After thinking for a while, he felt that he could push the plan forward... He didn't completely believe in Er Zhu Yichen, but if there was no direct conflict between the East Palace and Tiance Mansion in Daizhou, and When Seizing the Inheritance did not reach the final juncture, he felt that he could give him considerable trust.

"The Daizhou Army is divided into infantry and horse troops, stationed in Yanmenguan, Dai County, and Nao County. After all, there are not enough troops." Li Shan said in a low voice: "In recent years, Turks have repeatedly invaded Hedong, Daizhou, Xinzhou, and Weizhou. Most of Zhechong Mansion was lost..."

Li Kai blurted out, "Huairen intends to revive Brother Zhonggui's Zhechong Mansion?"

"That's right, the three prefectures have a total of thirteen Zhechong mansions. Weizhou doesn't care, it needs to guard Feihu Pass." Li Shan looked at Er Zhu Yichen, "But the seven Zhechong mansions in Daizhou and Xinzhou are now in name only..."

Er Zhu Yichen said yes, but smiled wryly in his heart. In the end, it was because he was a member of the Eastern Palace, so he was not allowed to hold military power... This nephew is a master of fuss.

The Daizhou Army is divided into two divisions, the Standing Army and the Reserve Army. The former is headed by Ma Sanbao on the surface, but Su Dingfang is actually in charge of it, and the latter is led by himself... In this way, the entire Daizhou Army is really under the control of his nephew. up.

After half a quarter of an hour, Er Zhu Yichen opened his hands and looked at Xue Wanche, "Li Shan went through the next year's battle, so how could he trust people easily... Even if I follow him out of the fortress."

Xue Wanche asked sullenly, "Then why did he keep you?"

"Rebuild Daizhou and Zhechong Mansions in Xinzhou." Er Zhu Yichen said with a wry smile, "But at least there are errands, at least better than Zhang Gongjin."

Well, Zhang Gongjin is the only one who has not been actually authorized by Li Shan... This is not because Li Shan has any opinions on him, but because of such a famous man with a long history, both civil and military skills, and a powerful man, Li Shan Couldn't find a place to put it.

Can't waste it!

Thinking of Zhang Gongjin, Xue Wanche's face brightened a little, but then became gloomy again, and he glanced at the wall on the left...Why did His Highness choose this fellow? !
Behind the wall on the left is the most unlucky and most frustrated person in this great victory, Chang He.

After drinking another glass of wine, Chang He didn't feel drunk, but his expression was even more depressed, and he said with a wry smile: "If we rush to Yanmen Pass that day..."

Ma Zhou on the opposite side also gave a wry smile, "Time is fate."

Ma Zhou is also speechless about the ups and downs of this old friend... This is fate!

Chang He sighed for a long time, put down the wine cup, "Why did King Bin come to Yanmen Pass?"

The bitterness on Ma Zhou's face flashed, "It will be easier in the future. Li Demou will succeed as the acting county magistrate, and Xia City will naturally be taken care of by him."

"That Bin Wang, you..."

Ma Yi spread his hands, "Small officials in the army, let's see how Guantao County will arrange them."

Chang He seems to be in a better mood. Judging from this appearance, he is not the only one who is unlucky.

　I'm a bit busy these days, try to keep up with regular updates
