Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 746 Longzhou
Li Yuan, who was sitting at the top of the table, felt his head hurt a little again. The two sons... were here to beg for life. If Erlang was the eldest son, there would be no such troubles. No more embarrassment.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan looked at Li Shan who was still standing there, "How does Huairen feel?"

Li Shan spread his hands, "Your Majesty has orders, and I must obey them."

The implication of this sentence is that you, the emperor, give orders, and I, a courtier, obey orders... But Li Shimin is right, Zhang Shigui is indeed the most suitable candidate.

In ancient times, commanding a large army, setting up a camp, and dealing with a large number of Zhechong and local officials, this is a highly technical job, and it also requires special learning... How does Li Shan understand this?

In the past, regardless of the number of leaders, Li Shan would directly appoint one person as the main general, and he was just in charge or filling in the gaps, such as Guo Pu at the earliest, Su Dingfang later, Wang Junhao, Er Zhu Yichen and so on.

After a pause, Li Shan added: "Your Majesty, the most important thing is...the grassland was covered with heavy snow at the end of last year. It is said that a large number of livestock died of freezing, and Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan had to stop talking."

Li Yuan was at a loss when he heard that last year, the Turks were defeated one after another, lost troops, lost their generals, suffered from hunger and cold, and fought among themselves. This year they must invade the south, but Yanmen Pass is guarded by Li Jing, the acting prince, and it is very likely that they will invade the pass. We will set up the post of Chief Marching Officer of Lingzhou Road. Is there any problem with this...?

Among the people present, only Li Shimin could react. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Shan, thinking that this guy is also very good at talking.

"Yugushe was captured alive twice by the minister, and finally committed suicide in shame. Last year, Jieli Khan was defeated repeatedly and was hunted down by the minister three times. The Khan flag alone captured three sides." Li Shan spread his hands and said: "Ashina Dozens of generals from Sheer, Ashina Simo, were killed or captured, plus the Jingguan by the Cangtou River..."

Li Yuan finally understood, and slapped the table next to the couch with his right hand, "That's right, Huai Ren must never take up this position!"

This guy is a troublemaker, wherever he goes, accidents happen... Li Yuan remembered that Princess Pingyang complained more than once or twice in front of him.

If it is said that the battles in Shandong were met and had no choice but to do so, then Li Shan was actively stirring up the wind and rain in Daizhou, which made Daizhou prosperous, Yuan Junzhang came to surrender, and Shuozhou was in chaos. Agitated Yu Sheshe, Yugushi died, and Jieli Khan was defeated so badly.

Li Shan himself once argued that it was others who came to trouble me, and I never took the initiative to cause trouble... But who would believe this kind of nonsense!

If it was just a few people who hated Li Shan deeply... well, before that, it was mainly Yugu who set up a person.

But now, how many people below Jieli Khan and Ashina Sheer hate Li Shan to the bone, not to mention anything else, the heads of the Jingguan piled up by the Cangtou River are all the heads of the Ashina clan's children.

Although the Turks would definitely invade the south this year in all likelihood, they did not choose only the Guanzhong Road, they would probably also invade Shuozhou, or even try to attack Yanmen Pass, or even Longyou Road and Hebei Road.

But if it is known that Li Shan is the head of the march of Lingzhou Road, those Turkic khans who want to avenge their revenge will not directly kill Guannei Road!

Li Yuan raised the amount with his hands, so dangerous, so dangerous!
This troublemaker must not be released casually!

The next prince, Li Jiancheng, has nothing to say. Just now, Li Shan was still outside the palace and agreed with Ashina Sheer to reunite with Ashina Sheer on the battlefield in the future. If Li Shan took office, Ashina Sheer might be captured alive Once back to Wuyuan County, he will persuade Jieli Khan to attack Lingzhou.

Jieli Khan is now being suppressed by his nephew Tuli Khan, largely because of the terrible defeat in the battle last year... If you want to restore your reputation and regain your power, there is nothing better than defeating Li Shan or even killing the prisoners Li Shan better and more efficient way?
The corners of Pei Shiju's mouth were twitching, this guy could actually find such a reason... This reason was found from a very tricky angle, and it was similar to Li Shimin's previous reason.

It seems that the king of Qin really doesn't want the position of the marching commander of Lingzhou Road.

"Your Majesty." Li Shan saluted and said loudly, "Now that the Great Tang has ruled the world, the Turks have civil strife, but they are huge."

"There will be a national war in the future, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch!"

"But the war has been going on for many years, and we are about to recuperate and accumulate people's strength for the future."

"The Turkic invasion of the south should be prepared by stationing troops at the frontier to protect the people from intrusion."

These few words are high-sounding, but they seem to be nonsense, but everyone present is smart, and everyone can hear it. The key is not what Li Shan said, but what Li Shan did not say.

Facing the Turks, defend the territory, but it is better not to attack... Therefore, among the generals who are facing the Turks, it is best to choose those generals who are good at defending.

In other words, Li Shan is admonishing Li Yuan that the Tang Dynasty does not have enough strength to start a national war with the Turks.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, the marching chief of Lingzhou Road... It seems that he is still going to have a difficult delivery, maybe he should deal with it quickly.

Putting all these aside for the time being, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Huai Ren has an audience today, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I have been serving as Minister of Agriculture for several months, and I am ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty..."

"Hahaha!" Li Yuan scolded with a smile: "I still have the face to say that I take a nap in Si Nong Temple every day, and I don't even go to the Yamen to go to Lishan to soak in the hot spring soup!"

Li Jiancheng also jokingly said, "Father is so generous that he even gave Huairen five mouthfuls of Lishan soup."

"Your Majesty!" Li Shan said solemnly, "I invite you to go out of Beijing and inspect the farming affairs."

Li Yuan was stunned, remembering that Li Shan mentioned this matter years ago, "Is it for cotton planting?"

"Exactly." Li Shan nodded and said, "Cotton is of great benefit to both the country and the people. Please ask for a full-time job."

As early as when Li Shan first took office as Secretary of Agriculture, many people in the court could see that Li Shan went to the Temple of Agriculture to promote cotton.

Chen Shuda laughed and said: "In the future, all people will use cotton clothes to resist the cold winter, and they will definitely appreciate Handan's kindness."

"Although it's bloated, it's guaranteed to be warm." Yang Gongren said with a smile, "Where is King Handan going to try planting?"

While we were chatting here, Li Shimin yawned quietly. He had heard Ling Jing tell him about this a long time ago, and he also agreed. It has been sent to the hands, and Li Shan himself has no practical role in seizing the heir.

I heard Ling Jing mentioned that it is near the Yellow River, it seems to be Tongzhou, right?
The next moment, Li Shimin heard Li Shan say this.

"Your Majesty, I choose Qianyuan County, Longzhou."
