Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 579 Preparation (continued)

The Daizhou General Manager’s Mansion was burned down when the previous generation of Daizhou General Manager Li Da’en died in battle. It was not until the end of last year that the government ordered the resettlement of the Daizhou General Manager, and then construction began.

Different from other places, Daizhou is rich in red bricks, so it consumes a lot less manpower and material resources than usual projects. It was completed when Wen Yanbo visited Daizhou, and some objects have been added one after another in the past few months. Already looks pretty good.

In fact, Li Shan seldom works in the Daizhou General Manager's Mansion, and the subordinate officials rarely come here. On the one hand, everyone bears heavy responsibilities, and on the other hand, Li Yaoshi, the Daizhou General Manager, has not yet arrived.

Even those who often deal with official documents and other copywriting work do not come here often. The previous one was Xue Wanche, who has now transferred to the army and served as Su Dingfang's deputy cavalry deputy chief, and the next one was Prince Sheren Lu Chengji. When I arrive at office, I often run outside.

Li Shan sat down in the side hall, and glanced sideways at Lu Chengji. This disciple of Fan Yang Lu's family is really extraordinary. It's nothing more than outstanding literary talent, but he can concentrate on practical work. There are not many such people among the descendants of the aristocratic family.

You must know that Daizhou is the most unique among the state capitals in the world. The uniqueness lies not in facing the Turks directly, but in the fact that the person in charge of him is a time traveler.

The influence of Li Shan, a traveler, has spread to almost every corner of Daizhou, and all walks of life. If Lu Chengji can't calm down, let alone actually control power, he will probably be emptied by the people below.

"Everyone knows the matter, right?" Li Shanduan sat at the head, and said with a blank expression: "The appointment of the Yongkang county magistrate has been postponed, and Gu will be in charge of the affairs of the state for the time being."

No one said anything below, everyone knew that Li Jing destroyed Nanliang, Pinglingnan, and broke Jianghuai.

However, although Li Shan, the king of Handan, has made great achievements against the Turks, he has never had the experience of leading the overall situation. Before the victory in Weixian County, Shandong, Li Shan was just making suggestions.

Zhang Gongjin, who knew Li Shan well, couldn't help looking at Su Dingfang. If Li Shan couldn't lead the army himself, then it should be this one.

Sure enough, Su Dingfang was the first to be named by Li Shan.

"Su Dingfang, there must be no mistakes in selecting the entire army in Daizhou." Li Shan emphasized his tone, "All affairs in the army are entrusted to you."

This sentence is not for Su Dingfang, but for other people. After the Yanmen victory at the beginning of the year, Su Dingfang has firmly controlled the Daizhou Army. Zhou Simar Zhu Yichen did not dare to offend.

Today's special emphasis here is nothing more than to establish Su Dingfang's unique position in the army.

Zhang Gongjin also knew that the reason why Duan Zhixuan was expelled was that he drank alcohol in the army and treated the soldiers harshly, but in fact he ignored Su Dingfang and refused to listen to his orders.

"Follow His Highness's order." Su Dingfang got up to accept the order, and the others remained silent.

Li Shan nodded slightly. If something happened, Su Dingfang's army would be his most reliable and effective support. To put it bluntly, let alone Xue Wanche and Lu Chengji, at critical moments, Zhang Shigui and Zhang Gongjin from King Qin's lineage would not be trusted.

Even his cousin Zhu Yichen and Li Kai, who can be called a close friend, are hard to say... Su Dingfang is the only one who completely trusts Li Shanneng, and has a reputation that matches his ability in history.

Li Shan has no confidence at all in leading the army to sit in the town himself. Apart from other things, setting up a stronghold in Guji Town and forming a corner with Mayi and Yanmen to fight against the Turks was indeed the first idea proposed by him, but it has the same effect. As soon as he described it, it was Su Dingfang who made him make up his mind.

If the Turks bypassed Guji Town, if the Turks attacked Yanmen Pass or Mayi at the same time, how to deploy troops, whether to attack... These are all beyond Li Shan's ability, and the only one he can trust is Su Dingfang.

Li Shan's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and everyone else could easily say that Ma Sanbao came to Daizhou as a cover, Er Zhu Yichen would not cause trouble, Zhang Shigui was stationed in Guji Town, Zhang Gongjin was in charge of the army, the only ones who could have conflicts with Su Dingfang Only Xue Wanche.

The most terrible thing is that Xue Wanche and Su Dingfang have enmity, and the latter's control of the army is a bit like Zhou Yafu's Xiliu camp. Once there is a conflict, I am afraid that something bad will happen.

But if Xue Wanche is transferred away... I'm afraid this idiot will make a fuss on the spot. Li Shan thought about it for a while and kept silent, cursing inwardly. It should have been Li Jing's business. It's on me!

No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Lu Chengji, the new secretary and military officer, coughed twice, "His Royal Highness, according to the news from Beijing, His Majesty intends to send Ying Guogong out of Zhenjiang?"

They are all well-informed masters, Li Shan cursed secretly, the first thing he received was the news from Li Kai, and he only received Ling Jing's secret letter this morning. Finish the discussion with Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is also not sure whether the samurai Xun will be appointed as the governor of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Government. This depends on whether Li Xiaogong will return to Beijing, and whether there will be another swordsman in the south of the Yangtze River.

If all goes well, Li Xiaogong returns to Chang'an for questioning, and there is no further war in the south of the Yangtze River, the warrior Xun should go south to take control of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with a long history, and Li Jing will go north again...but at least half a month is certain.

Thinking of this, Li Shan's face turned frosty, "If the county magistrate of Yongkang cannot take office, brother Zigou thinks... will the court send another general to be the governor of the acting prefecture?"

Lu Chengji was speechless, Li Jing was already one of the most famous generals in the world, and he was originally a prince, so he knew very well that there were very few such famous generals under the Eastern Palace. Will you just watch?
In terms of famous generals, isn't it true that King Qin's lineage has an absolute advantage?

The two sides are torn apart again, and there will be no way to tell the winner in a while... and the Turks are likely to attack in half a month.

Seeing that Lu Chengji was silent, Li Shan exchanged glances with Li Kai who was sitting at the bottom, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief... In fact, the reason just now can only be regarded as barely valid, but luckily Lu Chengji didn't ask anymore.

At the turn of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were many famous generals. Although there were not many who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Jing, there were quite a few who were qualified to serve as acting state governors. Although most of them were either attached to the East Palace or belonged to the Qin Palace, if Li Yuan ordered , can be suppressed.

However, both Li Kai and Li Shan were not optimistic about the North Korean Central Committee dispatching another Daizhou governor to replace Li Jing...it was simply because of Pei Shiju.

On the war with the Turks... It's funny to say that the most experienced person in the Tang Dynasty was actually Li Shan.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, except for Li Shan who went out to fight against the Turks, there are few generals who have fought against the Turks. In this respect, Li Shan is not as good as Li Shan, let alone Li Shan has dominated the Tang Dynasty and the Tuli Khan. alliance.

Even though Li Shimin traverses north and south, he has never had a direct confrontation with the Turks in this life. In the fifth year of Wude, Jieli Khan almost penetrated the Hedong Road. Khan returned to the north, and there was no direct confrontation.

Li Shan believes that Pei Shiju can find a reason... What's more, Pei Shiju is the one who knows the Turks best among the former Sui veterans. Li Yuan attaches great importance to this old fox's opinion on any measures against the Turks.

After a night of thinking, Li Shan had a vague guess that he would find ways to escape before the start of the war, but the hope of success was not great.

Every time Pei Shiju and Li Dewu framed him, he would skyrocket, but this kind of thing cannot always be like this.
