Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 776 Controlling the Army
Renshou Palace.

After receiving the battle report, Li Yuan felt the same astonishment as Li Shan. There was nothing wrong with the Turkic side, but it turned out to be Liang Shidu.

Li Yuan didn't care about this jumping clown, but for such an easy defeat, Li Yuan was just gnashing his teeth, Li Shenfu, a waste!
Thanks to Da Lang for recommending him, it has not been more than half a year since he took office, and even now the Turks are still fighting among themselves, and they were so easily defeated by the Liang masters who were trapped in Shuofang.

But for the next battle, Li Yuan didn't think there was any difficulty. After all, the Liang divisions were not Turks, but he didn't expect that the next military reports would rain like raindrops. The speed of losing three states in a row made Li Yuan dumbfounded and unacceptable.

Therefore, the same choice as Li Shan also appeared in Li Yuan's mind, should he run away?

Running all the way back to Chang'an, if you don't believe that Master Liang can continue to defeat Longzhou, Jingzhou, Fangzhou, and Qizhou, enter Jingzhao, and approach the city of Chang'an.

But once he ran away, his face would be completely lost... Basically, he was kicked out abruptly, which was embarrassing enough for a founding emperor.

After all, Li Yuan came from a famous family, and he was not shameless like Liu Bang.

Weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Li Yuan turned to look at Li Shimin who was checking the military newspaper, "Erlang?"

In any case, when it comes to the military, Li Yuan trusts the second son who made him extremely proud.

Li Shimin straightened his spine, and said in a slow voice: "Father, my son checked the military newspaper. Liang Jun also rebelled against all tribes. The strength should be around [-]."

"Twenty thousand..." Li Yuan nodded, the number was about the same as what he estimated, "There are more than ten thousand soldiers in Lingzhou Road, and more than twenty Zhechong Mansions in Sanzhou, hehe!"

If all the troops were added up, Li Shenfu, the marching chief of Lingzhou Road, could organize an army of about [-] troops. As a result, he was easily defeated in an ambush, causing the three continents to be scattered, and Liang Shidu defeated them one by one.

Li Shimin also shook his head with a wry smile, "The Liang division marched very fast, and the Zhechong mansions in various places were defeated before they formed an army, but Jingzhou and Longzhou should form an army."

Yang Gongren on the side frowned and said, "Chang Da, governor of Longzhou, and Yu Wenying, governor of Jingzhou."

Li Yuan was a little hesitant. One of these two people was an old man by his side, and the other was from the former Sui Dynasty, but they were not good at leading the army. Logically speaking, he should immediately assign a general to preside over the battle and defend against the attack of Liang Shidu. It is best to restore Lingzhou, Huizhou, and Yuanzhou.

But for such a general, the best choice is naturally Qin Wang Li Shimin, but Li Yuan has already made up his mind that he cannot let his second son return to the battlefield... Once this tiger is released, the impact will be great and far-reaching , let alone the East Palace, even I can't control it.

To put it bluntly, once the King of Qin returns to the battlefield, holds the military power in his hand, successfully expels Liang Shidu, and restores the land of the three continents... Li Yuan feels that this is almost inevitable, the second son is born to be a god of war.

At that time, let alone the courtiers, everyone in the world will know that once the war is dangerous, it is not the king of Qin who can't calm it down... Li Yuan's move to cut power again, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance.

Chen Fu, the superintendent of the palace, stepped in quickly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Longzhou Military News."

Li Yuan opened the military newspaper himself, took a few glances, handed it to Li Shimin, and muttered, "Longzhou was also attacked..."

"What?" Li Shimin's expression changed drastically, and he glanced at ten lines, "Chang Da led [-] soldiers to the north to help Huating...the strength is insufficient, how can he rush to send troops!"

Li Yuanji, King of Qi, curled his lips slightly, "Master Liang swallowed Lingzhou, Huizhou, and Yuanzhou in one gulp, so don't they still have the guts to go south?"

Yang Gongren hesitated and didn't say anything, but Li Yuan nodded slightly. Even if he swallowed the statue with a snake, it didn't do much. Once Liang Shidu drove straight in, he would have insufficient stamina and his troops would be scattered. It would be much easier for Tang Jun to deal with it.

Pei Shiju narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shimin. This old fox who had been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades and had also led the army and was very good at military strategy guessed what Li Shimin was worried about.

After pondering for a moment, Pei Shiju slowly said: "Chang Da is not good at military strategy, but I remember that the King of Handan is still in Longzhou?"

"That's right!" Li Yuan snorted softly, "Hongdae has a good memory, I actually forgot that Huairen sent his personal guards to deliver the military report yesterday."

After a pause, Li Yuan hesitated and said, "Should you still be in Longzhou?"

In the current situation, it is possible for Li Shan to leave Longzhou, after all, he has no responsibility to guard the land.

"Li Huairen, the king of Handan, has always been benevolent and righteous, and left in front of the battle, which is beyond his power." Pei Shiju didn't have any psychological pressure to pour dirty water on Li Shan in this way.

If Li Shan ran away, he deserved it. If Li Shan didn't run away...then ask him to turn the tide again.

Pei Shiju pointed out Li Shan almost like a conditioned reflex, but he felt uneasy in his heart... It's like this again!
Again!

Time after time, time after time, in the end, that guy narrowly escaped death every time, and took advantage of it to jump every time, wouldn't he be so unlucky this time, right? !

The dignified Li Shimin over there glanced sideways, his eyes were a little weird, Pei Shiju did it again, isn't he suffering enough?

You have put Li Shan in the position of a famous general and canonized county king, so you should be satisfied!
Pei Shiju persuaded himself in his heart, he really didn't do it on purpose this time, if His Majesty refuses to return to Chang'an, Li Shan, you are indeed the best candidate to control the armies at present.

You can't let Qin Wang or Qi Wang lead the army, the former is too strong, and the latter is too useless.

Pei Shiju did not do it on purpose this time, not to mention other things, the only son is still in Longzhou!

Li Yuan thought about it back and forth in his heart, looked at Pei Shiju appreciatively, and then said: "Decree, Li Shan, the king of Handan, entrusted General Zuo Wuwei to control the soldiers of Longzhou, Jingzhou, and Qizhou."

After a pause, Li Yuan added: "The military newspaper has already entered Beijing, and sent a messenger to inform the prince that the troops from Jingzhao, Tongzhou, and Fangzhou are all under the control of the King of Handan."

Yang Gongren said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Huairen will be able to defeat the enemy, Liang thief is arrogant, but how about Bijieli?"

Li Yuan also laughed, and asked Chen Fu to fetch the seal, but saw Cui Xin, a scholar from Zhongshu, who was writing the imperial edict, "Huiren will defeat the enemy, and I will give him a marriage next year."

Cui Xin paused, all kinds of thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly. He was cursing secretly at first, insisting on changing from Tongzhou to Longzhou, and sure enough something happened... Are you, Li Huairen, a disaster?

The second thought is, Pei Shiju is an old thief, sooner or later he will make you look good!
The third thought was, well, my own cabbage will be kept until next year at most, but fortunately my wife has almost prepared it, my heart aches!

Everyone in the hall seemed to have seen the scene where the famous Handan king Li Huairen easily defeated the Liang army and restored the land of three continents, but Li Shimin quietly left the great hall and whispered a few words to Qin Qiong.
