Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 580 Preparation (Continuation [-])
The atmosphere in the room was almost stagnant. Li Shan looked up at the beam above his head, as if he was in a daze.

Lu Chengji felt somewhat regretful that he had brought up Ying Guogong just now. After he was appointed as a recorder and joined the military, although he appreciated Li Shan's series of means and achievements in Daizhou, he also felt that his old friend remained the same.

It wasn't until now that Lu Chengji realized that other colleagues' attitudes were completely different from his own when facing Li Shan, and he also realized how authoritative this friend who indulged in Pingkangfang with him now has in Daizhou.

Zhang Gongjin, Xue Wanche, Zhang Shigui, Ma Sanbao, which one is not a world hero who has been famous for a long time?

Li Shan stared at the beams above his head for a long time, thinking that even though there are red bricks, a lot of wood is still needed to build a house... Li Xiaogong's rebellion, this incident will defeat all his subsequent plans and calculations smash.

If you can't pass this hurdle, everything will be closed!

"Huiren?"

On such occasions, Li Kai is the only one who can still use this title.

Li Shan, who came back to his senses, forced a smile, "The army is short of rations, equipment, and livestock in the convoy. Brother Demou needs a little help."

"It's a matter of duty." Li Kai nodded and said, "Dacang in Xia City just took inventory five days ago."

Li Shan took a deep breath and raised his voice: "The generals listen to the order. If the Turks make a big attack, they will fight outside Yanmen Pass, so that Daizhou will not be invaded, and Hedong will be able to recuperate."

"Follow His Majesty's orders."

"Follow His Majesty's orders."

"Zhang Shigui." Li Shan stood up and said, "When will the construction of the village in Guji Town be completed?"

"It's almost finished." Zhang Shigui replied: "Thirty thousand men and women are about to trek back to their hometown."

"It has been registered and made before. It would be the best if you can return to your hometown. If you can't return to your hometown, Lu Chengji, a military officer and military officer, will take it in and resettle you." Li Shan quickly cut through the mess.

Lu Chengji came out to respond, with a slightly hesitant expression.

Li Shan glanced at the past, he knew that after Lu Chengji took over as the secretary and joined the military, although he was calm, he had little experience and was a bit of a literati after all, and the little officials below were a little disobedient.

"Go back and tell them that if something goes wrong, it's safe to touch the head on their own neck." Li Shan snorted, "Zhang Hongshen has traveled all over the three states, and you will take care of it."

It should be Zhang Gongjin who came out.

"The towns of Mayi and Guji hang outside the Great Wall, and the most important thing is food and grass." Li Shan continued: "Now that we are preparing for the Turkic war, we naturally focus on food and grass first."

As soon as these words came out, both Zhang Shigui and Liu Shirang relaxed a little. Just as Li Shan said, they were not afraid of the Turkic invasion, nor were they afraid of cavalry battles before the formation, but they were afraid of the Turkic forces besieging the city with their absolute superiority. .

Last year, Yuan Junzhang attacked Mayi with heavy troops. In fact, Gao Manzheng was not afraid of confronting Yuan Junzhang, but the [-] Turkic army followed him southward, defeating Li Gaoqian first, and then besieging Mayi.

But even so, Gao Manzheng persisted in Mayi for more than a month, until the food and grass were exhausted at last, he had no choice but to break out, and finally his subordinates rebelled and were defeated and died.

"Using military rations first is not enough to make up for it in Xiashi Dacang." Li Shan said slowly: "The specific amount will be discussed by Liu Shirang, Zhang Shigui, Lu Chengji, and the treasury to join the army, but it must first be reported to someone here for a seal."

"The other Daizhou and Xinzhou..." Li Shan looked at Erzhu Yichen, "In the first month, the Zhechong mansion in the two states was ordered to be rebuilt. Tens of thousands of residents moved, but can they all be registered?"

"All registered." Er Zhu Yichen cupped his hands.

"Fifty percent will be local, fifty percent will be relocated, and call out peasants." Li Shan instructed: "From now on, we will deliver grain and grass to Mayi and Guji towns."

"The deployment of troops is handled by Su Dingfang."

"If there is a shortage of ordnance and war horses, they will be dispatched from the armies in the Great Wall, and if there are any shortages, someone will write to Bingzhou."

Zhang Shigui took stock in his heart, Li Shan's handling was a bit chaotic, but he also got to the point, the most important thing now is food and grass, and military strength.

As long as there is no shortage of food and grass, Guji Town and Mayi are impenetrable, but it is basically impossible for the Turks to break through easily. As long as there is no shortage of troops, even if Yanmen Pass cannot send troops outside the Great Wall, it will still be difficult for the Turks to break through and invade the East Road.

For more than a month before, Li Shan, who was about to leave, was basically in a lazy state, but now, he is very busy, and he still has a whip in his hand to whip the people below.

It's easy to say, but it's not that easy. Just [-] men and women entering the customs, recruiting thousands of civilians, and transporting a large amount of grain, grass, and military equipment to Mayi and Guji Towns is not so easy.

Just like Zhang Shigui two months ago, Li Shan now suffers from a lack of manpower, not because of the shortage of civilians, but because of the lack of command staff at the grassroots level. As a last resort, he went to Bingzhou and borrowed a lot from Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng. The civil servants came to help.

But what Li Shan didn't expect was that Shi Doujing, the head of the Bingzhou Governor's Office, came in person... Of course, Li Shan also paid a high price. Dou Jing was also in the Bingzhou Marching Army, and abruptly "borrowed" away Three hundred cattle.

But at the same time, Dou Jing was also intimidated. Xiashi, whom Li Shan placed high hopes on, showed an unparalleled throughput. Except for the manpower to take care of Dacang and a few insiders, no one could have imagined that, relying on Yuhuchun , Ma Yin, Xia City swallowed such a huge amount of grain reserves in the past half a year.

On the road from Xiashi to Yanmenguan, there was an endless stream of convoys transporting grain and grass. Dou Jing on the side of the road asked softly: "According to the rule, the central government should send the governor of Daizhou, and maybe even set up the commander of the army on the east road." .”

The exhausted Li Shan's face was haggard and his lips were curled up. "It's been five days, and there is no news yet."

Li Shan's intentions were obvious. If the court wanted to send a general to replace Li Jing, after such a long time, the result should have come.

At this moment, Chang'an City, the Imperial City, and Linhu Hall.

Standing beside Li Yuan, Princess Pingyang stared indifferently at the eloquent Pei Shiju, thinking that the old dog had torn his face.

Both Pei Shiju and Princess Pingyang knew each other well, and both knew that the other knew all the inside information, but Pei Shiju's advice to Li Yuan could only show that he no longer regarded Princess Pingyang in his eyes.

Or to put it another way, Pei Shiju guessed that Li Shan had joined the King of Qin, and because of Li Shan's relationship, even if Princess Pingyang was not on the side of King Qin, she probably would not be on the side of the East Palace.

This is also a signal sent by Pei Shiju, even with you, Princess Pingyang, I will kill Li Shan.

After listening to Pei Shiju's long-winded analysis, Li Yuan was a little hesitant. Indeed, although Li Xiaogong had already arrived in Chang'an, there was no actual evidence of rebellion in the preliminary inquiry. Elect the Acting State Superintendent.

Even if it's too late, the Turks attack on a large scale... If you just stick to Yanmen Pass, the strength of the Daizhou Army is enough.

What's more, Li Huairen, the king of Handan, defeated the Turks several times in Shandong and Shuozhou. He still has famous generals such as Su Dingfang, Ma Sanbao, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Gongjin, and Xue Wanche under his command. Could it be that he can't defend Yanmen Pass?
This kind of explanation cannot be said to be unreasonable, and Li Yuan also knows in his heart that since he has formed an alliance with Tuli Khan, Jieli Khan will not attack with all his strength this year.

Li Shimin is both angry and funny, angry at Pei Shiju's use of the general affairs of the country as a means, and at the same time funny at the fact that his elder brother Li Jiancheng was played by Pei Shiju in applause.
