Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Fully draw the bow, close the right eye, aim with the left eye, loosen the right hand, there is a slight sound of strings in the ear, and then there is silence.

Li Shanqian turned around with a smile, "Third sister, this bow is not easy to use..."

Princess Pingyang was expressionless, and the guards around her all had strange expressions. This is the Handan County King who was rumored to have shot down the Khan Banner... only twenty steps away.

The strength is quite strong, and it can shoot more than a hundred steps away, but it just can't hit the target. From eighty steps to sixty steps, then to forty steps, to twenty steps... A personal guard thought to himself, if you get closer, I will hit the target. Throwing can throw the arrow on the target!

Princess Pingyang sighed. She was relatively old in the clan. Including Li Shimin, she taught archery to many children, Li Yuanji, Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong...

Now I feel that maybe those younger brothers and cousins ​​are talented, not because I teach well.

When Princess Pingyang and Li Shan returned to the Linhu Palace, the former had completely given up. Li Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard about it. In fact, he heard Prince Li Jiancheng mentioned that Xue Wanche had written a letter. The famous Hebei general was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. , and he swore in the letter that the King of Handan was not good at shooting, but he was not good at shooting.

Don't say that the archery is like a god, that guy doesn't know how to shoot arrows at all.

Princess Pingyang looked at Li Shan with an embarrassed face, "My daughter just heard about it, Huairen understands a little bit."

Li Yuan stretched out his hand and nodded Li Shan, and said with a smile: "This year is very hot, but you are not in the pass. I will take you on a tour next year."

Well, what Li Yuan said was more tactful. The so-called tour is to escape the heat, and the so-called extreme heat...that means Li Shan can make ice.

"Give it to the palace people later." Li Shan didn't care about it, and he didn't care about the money.

"How can such a secret technique be taught so easily!" Princess Pingyang objected immediately, and glared at Li Shan, "If you use ice in summer, if you overdose, you will feel unwell."

Li Yuan was speechless, this daughter...that is to say, she was married a long time ago, had two children, and she kept turning her elbows.

After chatting and joking for a while, Li Yuancai asked: "Huairen has been back to Beijing for ten days, and there must be a reason for entering the palace today, let me tell you."

Li Shan sighed, and bowed down on the ground, "Your Majesty, Li Shan, the King of Handan County, please come down to your crime."

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, Princess Pingyang turned and left after thinking for a moment, and stood at the gate of Linhu Hall.

"Why do you plead guilty?"

"Your minister was young and ignorant, full of indignation. In order to avenge his revenge, although he defeated the Turks, he eventually captured the army and committed the crimes of the subordinates." Li Shan said frankly, "Although these crimes have not been made public, but..."

Speaking of this, Li Shan paused, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Yuan looked deeply at the young man in front of him, and asked softly after a while, "Does Huairen still hate the pharmacist deeply?"

"I will never forget it in this life." Li Shan replied immediately: "Three thousand soldiers were attacked by more than [-] Turks for eight days, and less than [-] survived, and nearly half of them were disabled, all thanks to Li Yaoshi!"

"The Turks attacked Yanmen Pass first, and then dispatched surprise soldiers to flank Loufan Pass. However, they returned after being frustrated. They were short of food and grass, and even attacked Guji Town for several days. There were heavy casualties and low morale." Li Shan said angrily: "He As long as we send some troops out of the customs, the Turks will surely retreat..."

"The long delay is nothing more than the fact that he, Yaoshi Li, wanted to win a big victory, but he regarded the three thousand Tang troops as abandoned sons!"

"This kind of enmity will never be forgotten in this life!"

Li Yuan looked at the angry young man in front of him, his eyes flickered.

Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, and even some ministers below, such as Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, and Wen Yanbo, Yuwenshi and others who had friendship or in-laws with both parties, wanted to be peacemakers, but Li Yuan actually didn't care about it.

In the seven years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many famous generals, but most of them are attached to Qin Wang Li Shimin. This is impossible. The key battles were all fought by Li Shimin.

Several well-known generals of the older generation, such as Guan Guogong Ren Gui, were actually attached to the East Palace, which was also tacitly approved by Li Yuan.

In fact, there are not many generals who are only loyal to Li Yuan. Li Xiaogong was one before, but unfortunately he will no longer be able to lead the army. It's a pity that this name has been completely suppressed by Handan King Li Shan now.

Therefore, in Li Yuan's mind now, Li Jing and Li Shan are the direct generals he relies on most in the army. There are some conflicts between these two people. Will Li Yuan be a peacemaker?
As a superior, in fact Li Yuan was faintly willing to see this scene.

Especially after Li Shan gained the upper hand and handed over Daizhou completely to Li Jing, Li Yuan's perception of Li Shan improved.

Facing Li Shan's plea, Li Yuan stood up and helped him up with his own hands, "I heard that you proposed that Su Dingfang be engaged to Li Yaowang's young daughter?"

"Yes." Li Shan nodded and said: "Uncle also knows that after my nephew arrived in Chang'an, he was greatly assisted by the Danyang Fang of the Li family in Longxi."

Li Yuan paced back and forth, thoughtful, and suddenly asked: "I issued an edict that day, and all matters in Daizhou are left to the pharmacist to choose. Will Huairen blame me?"

Li Shan pretended to think for a while before opening his mouth, "My nephew is trapped in Guji Town, my uncle is worried, and he must have the wish to send troops to help, but my uncle is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the ruler of the world. Do not do it for your own selfishness..."

Li Yuan sighed, "The former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, for his own selfishness, conquered Liaodong, went to Jiangdu, and put the country at the back of his mind. This is a lesson from the past."

"Actually, Your Majesty has already taken a risk." Li Shan said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an, and he doesn't know the military situation outside the Great Wall. It would be a rash move for Pharmacist Li to make his own choice."

"How does my nephew not know about my uncle's difficulties, how does this subject not know about His Majesty's difficulty in making a decision..."

"I only hate Pharmacist Li..."

Li Yuan listened quietly, although he didn't say a word, but his face obviously turned red. The young county king in front of him threw all the blame on Li Jing's head, and sent all the last resort to himself.

For this conversation, Li Shan has been preparing for a long time, not to mention whether there is resentment in his heart, but even if there is, he can't show it, and to be honest, Li Yuan is really not ready to give up on himself, at least he didn't order Li Jing to strictly guard Yanmen Out of the fortress.

And in the current situation, Li Shan can't openly show his relationship with Li Shimin, so in the future, Li Yuan will be his biggest reliance.

The only problem is that Li Shan himself has no resentment, but will Li Yuan suspect that he has a heart of resentment.

That's why today Li Shan started with an apology, prepared for a long time to dispel Li Yuan's possible doubts, the more calm he was about this kind of thing, the more he explained for the other party, and threw the pot on Li Jing's head, Li Yuan Li Shan will naturally feel guilty in his heart, and Li Shan can hold the initiative from a certain point of view.
