Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 512 The King of Qi

After counting, Li Shan set out to return to Beijing at the end of the first lunar month, arrived in Chang'an in early February, and has been away from Daizhou for half a month now, and there has been no strange reward, which caused a lot of discussion in the court.

Li Shan waited silently with anxiety, still thinking about what kind of result he would be waiting for, but unexpectedly, something happened that caught him off guard.

"You are Fan Feng?" Li Shan put down the scroll and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with great interest.

This is a very ordinary middle-aged man, from his clothes to his appearance and height, to his words and deeds, he is very ordinary.

"The villain pays his respects to the county magistrate of Guantao."

"Get up." Li Shan pondered for a while, "I will change my name later."

Fan Feng was stunned, glanced at Fan Shiyi from the corner of his eye, and then bowed deeply, "The villain pays homage to my lord."

The change of title means joining the Li family.

As early as the beginning of last year, Li Shan intended to recruit people who were good at tracking. Fan Shiyi recommended his brother Fan Feng, who was from Xia County, Jiangzhou, Hedong.

Speaking of this person's rough experience, Li Shan also couldn't bear it.

In the second year of Wude, Liu Wuzhou invaded Hedong and almost penetrated the Hedong Road. Pei Ji led the army to go out and was defeated again and again.

At that time, Jiangzhou had no troops to stop Song Jingang who was attacking fiercely. Pei Ji ordered the people in Yicheng, Jiangxian, Quwo and other cities to retreat south... Where did they retreat south?
Xia County.

Then Pei Ji also ordered his soldiers to burn all the savings brought by the people who retreated to the south, which directly led to a chaos. Kill the county magistrate and raise troops to respond.

Counting it, it was the most dangerous moment of Li Tang Dynasty.

To the west of Jiangzhou is Puzhou, and to the west is Jingzhao Mansion. If Song Jingang did not go south but went southwest, don't worry... Wang Xingben, the general manager stationed in Puzhou at that time, rebelled against Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army was unable to attack for a long time.

In other words, if Song Jingang didn't eat the fat that Pei Ji sent to his mouth, but went straight to Puzhou, and cooperated with the inside and outside, he would be able to quickly attack Jingzhao Mansion, and Li Shimin would no longer send troops to Hedong to stage a counterattack The drama is over.

Although he was repeatedly defeated and there was a rebellion in Xia County, but because of this incident, Pei Ji was quickly rehabilitated by Li Yuan after he was released from prison, and his official post was restored.

But many people knew well that Pei Ji's actions were not based on military considerations, or even for the Li Tang Dynasty, which had only been established for two years. All he thought about was the Wenxi Pei family.

If Song Jingang hadn't pursued the chaotic Tang army and people to the south, he might have marched to the southwest, trying to invade Puzhou and Wang Xingben's joint forces, and then invade Jingzhao Mansion... In fact, Li Yuan had already planned to Abandon Hedong and stick to Guanzhong.

It is precisely because of Pei Ji's coquettish maneuvers that Song Jingang's marching route has changed... That is because Wenxi County is in the southwest of Jiangzhou. .

In the end, Li Shimin led all the soldiers in Guanzhong, sent General Qin Wutong to lead a partial division to attack Wang Xingben, the main force crossed the Yellow River, entered Jiangzhou, and confronted Song Jingang at Baibi... Then came the famous Battle of Baibi, Song Jingang's entire army was defeated, and Li Shimin led [-] cavalry in person. They never got off their horses for four days and five nights, and chased them with their tails in their tails.

And Baibi is not far from Wenxi County.

Ling Jing, Su Dingfang, Ma Zhou and Li Shan had revisited this battle, and they had to admit that these coquettish operations by Pei Ji to protect Wenxi's family bought precious time for Li Shimin to send troops to Hedong.

But at the same time, the entire Jiangzhou, except for Wenxi County in the southwest and Hejin County near Longmen, is a piece of scorched earth... Especially Xia County, which rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, was ordered by Li Yuan himself to massacre the city.

Fan Feng's family was destroyed in this way. There were 73 members in the whole family. Only Fan Feng escaped from the city with his mother on his back. His father, uncle, grandfather, wife, and children all died in Xia County.

Fan Shiyi's recommendation of this person was one reason, but Fan Feng's hatred for Pei Ji was also a reason... Li Shanzai explained the battle to Fan Feng carefully.

"You and I both take care of our widowed mother, this is filial piety." Li Shan said softly, "But there are three unfilial acts, the greatest of which is having no offspring. If you want to, you can do it in Zhuangzi...Fan Shiyi, I will leave this matter to you. "

Fan Shiyi grinned and said yes, patted his chest and promised to pick a good child, hold three children in two years, and have both children.

Li Shan scolded with a smile: "You skinny monkey hasn't gotten married yet, let's do it together."

"Thank you, sir." Fan Shiyi winked at Fan Feng.

Fan Shiyi is also good at tracking, but he is young after all, and Fan Feng joined the army in his early years, and suffered such a disaster. He is quite powerful, and he knows what the young man in front of him is thinking... How is it that he was ordered to track down the whereabouts of officials in the court? How can you easily trust yourself with confidential matters?
The Li family went out of the house to provide money and people to support Fan Feng's widowed mother, marry a wife and have children for him, and continue the bloodline.

Over the years, Fan Feng, who was supposed to be a dead person, hid in Tibet with his mother, and even became a thief.

Later, his mother suffered from cold and gradually became seriously ill. Fan Feng entered the customs and settled down in Ningzhou.

However, the Fan family is also an ordinary farmer's family. Fan Shiyi invited Fan Feng here because of the reason that Li Shan's genius doctor is a master... Uh, Li Shan kicked the monkey several times for this matter.

But Li Shan can't do it, and there are many famous doctors in the Imperial Medical Office, a famous post is enough, and now Fan's mother has already recovered, and it is for this reason that Fan Feng will join Li's family.

Li Shan asked a few more words casually, after all the foreplay was done, he asked about the serious business, "Who did you find out?"

Fan Feng didn't speak, and kept his head down.

And Fan Shiyi leaned close to Li Shan's ear and whispered a few words.

"What?" Li Shan raised his eyebrows, "It's actually..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Shan got up and took a few steps, his face was gloomy. He didn't expect that after checking and checking, he finally found the head of Qi Wang Li Yuanji. This was an unexpected answer.

Logically speaking, it should be related to the East Palace, how could it involve Li Yuanji?

Li Shan's eyes were dark, and he still remembered that before going to Rendai County, Li Yuanji visited Li Ganyou. Li Yuanji happened to be there, and even asked to be a matchmaker.

Li Shan suddenly remembered Zhang Wenguan talking about Dongshan Temple a few days ago, Princess Qi Yang's attitude towards him seemed to be very repulsive... Could it be that he was influenced by Li Yuanji?

"From beginning to end, tell me in detail."
