Man Tanghong

Chapter 92 The Broad-minded Marquis of Pingyao (First Order!!!)
When Li Yuanji introduced Su Dingfang, he said a few more words specifically to make Xie Shufang not look down on Su Dingfang.

He didn't mention Su Dingfang's past, and he has no way to talk about Su Dingfang's future achievements, he can only talk about Su Dingfang's performance in Mingshui City.

Although he threw the heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun to Yu Chigong, but when he led the soldiers and horses to leave the boundary of Mingzhou and enter Xingzhou, Qu Tutong sent someone to send the heads back.

Not only that, but also super doubled, giving away eight more.

Qu Tutong also sent someone to deliver a letter, in which he said that among the eight heads, some were for Yu Chigong's apology, and some were for rewarding him for discovering that Xu Yuanlang would sneak attack.

Qu Tutong didn't say in the letter how many coins he would pay for the crime, and how many coins he would be rewarded for.

Although when Qu Tutong delivered the news that Xu Yuanlang would sneak attack to Li Shimin, Xu Yuanlang had already finished the sneak attack, and Liu Heita also ran away.

But when he told Qu Tutong the news, Xu Yuanlang hadn't made a surprise attack yet.

He can pretend that he doesn't know anything and say nothing.

But he said, that is a favor.

Li Shimin had to remember and read.

Li Shimin obviously didn't want to owe him favors all the time, so he immediately took a few extra heads to repay his favors.

Li Shimin is so generous, so he can only accept it with a smile.

After taking the benefits from Li Shimin, he and Yu Chigong had a fight, and it was considered that it was over, and his favor with Li Shimin was gone.

As for how Yu Chigong cleans up, it has nothing to do with him.

The benefits Li Shimin gave were not enough for him to come forward to clean up Yu Chigong.

The heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun returned to his hands, and there were a few more. Naturally, he recounted the heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun on Su Dingfang's head without hesitation.

Su Dingfang first joined Datang's command, and with the heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun beside him, no one would ever talk about his status as a general.

When Li Yuan's reward arrives, Su Dingfang will be a serious Tang general.

"You killed Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun when you first joined His Highness?"

Xie Shufang looked at Su Dingfang in surprise and asked.

Su Dingfang nodded without hesitation.

Zhou Wenju's and Cui Yuanxun's heads were chopped off by himself, and now it's his head, so he has nothing to hide.

Xie Shufang nodded slowly, "Then you're not bad..."

Xie Shufang recognized Su Dingfang.

Although Su Dingfang's joining made him feel a little bit turbulent, but he didn't feel jealous of the virtuous.

He is well aware of Li Yuanji's current situation, and also knows that Li Yuanji urgently hopes that the Qi Palace will grow rapidly.

Su Dingfang was able to join the Qi Palace, he was happy for Li Yuanji, and also for Li Yuanji.

As for the turmoil in his heart, it was just a turmoil, and it only existed in his heart for a moment.

He felt more of a sense of crisis.

Li Yuanji obviously trusts Su Dingfang very much. If Su Dingfang is allowed to be a latecomer, it will be difficult for him to work under Li Yuanji's command.

Su Dingfang heard Xie Shufang's praise, and said modestly: "The Marquis of Pingyao praised you absurdly."

Xie Shufang said generously: "You and I are both His Highness's subjects, and we will be colleagues in the future. It seems too unfamiliar to Pingyao Hou. If you want to think highly of me, just call me Brother Xie."

Xie Shufang behaved decently and gave Su a face.

Su Dingfang felt that Xie Shufang was not bad, and he didn't go around with Xie Shufang. He cupped his hands and said, "You think highly of me and are willing to be called my brother. If you don't mind, I'll call you Brother Xie from now on."

Xie Shufang laughed, "Brother Su?"

Su Dingfang laughed, "Brother Xie?"

The two looked at each other, and Qi Qi was happy.

Li Yuanji saw that Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang didn't have any estrangement, on the contrary, they got along very happily, and there was a smile on their faces.

What he is most afraid of is that Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang will have some kind of estrangement, they will not like each other, and in the end, not only will they not be able to help each other, but they will stumbling each other.

"How to allocate troops, I will leave it to the two of you to discuss with Li Zhongwen."

After discussing with Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang, Li Yuanji started talking about business again.

Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang put away their smiling faces together.

Su Dingfang bowed in agreement.

Xie Shufang pondered and said: "Your Highness, Li Zhongwen is loyal to Her Royal Highness, I am afraid that we will not let us interfere in the defense of Her Royal Highness."

Xie Shufang has been in Weizeguan for more than a month, and he knows Li Xiuning and the generals under Li Xiuning's command.

Among the generals under Li Xiuning's command, He Panren is the most tactful one, Li Zhongwen is the most stubborn one, Xiang Shanren has no ideas, and Qiu Shili is the most difficult to figure out.

It's not that Qiu Shili's city is deep, but that Qiu Shili doesn't like to talk too much, so it's hard for you to know what he's thinking.

"He won't let us intervene, so we won't intervene? Does he have the final say in Weize pass, or we have the final say?"

Li Yuanji glanced at Xie Shufang and said angrily.

When Li Xiuning was around, he gave Li Xiuning face, so everything went according to Li Xiuning's.

Li Xiuning is gone, so there is no one in Weize Pass who needs his face. He just dispatched the soldiers and horses under his command to strengthen the defense of Weize Pass. There is no need to look at Li Zhongwen's face.

Xie Shufang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that Li Zhongwen will come to you to make trouble."

Li Yuanji glanced at Xie Shufang, and said: "If he dares to make trouble, you can ask him if he has the ability to stop the 200,000 Turkic army without us.

If he dares to say that he has that ability, I will immediately lead the soldiers and horses of the family to withdraw from Weize Pass, camp outside the pass, and give him all of Weize Pass. "

Xie Shufang opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Li Zhongwen definitely doesn't have that ability.

If Li Zhongwen had that ability, Li Xiuning wouldn't have to work so hard to guard Weize Pass.

Li Shimin didn't have to let Li Yuanji lead the troops to Weizeguan to sit in town.

It's just that if Li Yuanji and Li Zhongwen get into a stalemate, it may be difficult for Li Yuanji to do something in Weize Pass in the future.

After all, Wei Zeguan is Li Xiuning's territory, and it is also Li Zhongwen's territory.

Li Zhongwen is like a local snake at Weizeguan.

Li Yuanji is a dragon crossing the river.

Although Li Yuanji was very strong, he could hold down Li Zhongwen, a local snake, but if Li Zhongwen resisted, Li Yuanji would suffer more or less.

The soldiers of the Great Tang in Weize Pass, although they are soldiers of the Great Tang in name, are bound by the military orders of the Great Tang.

But in fact, they are only loyal to Li Xiuning, and only obey Li Xiuning's restraint and military orders.

When Datang's military order and Li Xiuning's military order conflicted, they would definitely choose to follow Li Xiuning's order without hesitation.

If Li Xiuning had issued a military order to Li Zhongwen to fight against Li Yuanji, Li Zhongwen would definitely dare to fight against Li Yuanji.

"I believe that General Li will not make things difficult for us."

Su Dingfang said confidently.

If Li Zhongwen refuses to accept it, just do it.

According to the rules in the military, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.

Whether it was a competition of martial arts or strategy, he didn't think he would lose to Li Zhongwen.

Li Yuanji nodded in agreement, his thoughts were similar to those of Su Dingfang.

If Li Zhongwen refuses to accept it, just do it.

Whoever wins will be the one in Weize pass.

"Go down and dispatch troops."

Li Yuanji ordered.

Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang bowed slightly and exited the room.

After they left, Li Yuanji simply stretched his muscles, found the residence that Li Xiuning had prepared for him in the courtyard, and fell asleep.

Li Yuanji did not brazenly go to occupy the resting place of the owner of the house.

Li Xiuning has lived in the house for four years, and the house has almost become her other home.

Li Yuanji ran to occupy the resting place of the owner of the house, could Li Xiuning be happy?

……

Silent all night.

The next day.

The sky was just getting brighter.

Xie Shufang rushed to report, saying that the soldiers from the first left and the second military command had been dispatched. Although Li Zhongwen had some complaints, seeing that they did not adjust the defense of Weize Pass, he recognized them with a pinch of his nose.

On the contrary, the soldiers of Weize Pass were a bit at odds with the soldiers of Prince Qi's Mansion. They felt that the soldiers of Prince Qi's Mansion went to help them guard the pass, but they couldn't trust them. Their words were a little extreme, and they almost had a conflict.

However, under the mediation of Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen, a temporary settlement was reached.

Whether there will be conflicts later, I don't know.

"The soldiers at Weize Pass are a bit proud."

After listening to Xie Shufang's narration, Li Yuanji had a look of emotion.

Xie Shufang smiled wryly and said, "It's not necessarily arrogance, maybe it's anger."

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, he understood what Xie Shufang meant by 'Qi'.

"resentment?"

"Ah."

Li Yuanji let out a long breath, and said quietly: "Then let them go."

It is normal for the soldiers at Weizeguan to have resentment in their hearts.

In the past, they helped Li Yuan capture Chang'an City and made great contributions to Li Tang, but Li Yuan did not reuse them, but instead transferred them to Weize Pass and sat on the bench.

There must be resentment in their stomachs.

They may not only be resentful because of what happened to them, but also because of what happened to Li Xiuning.

Li Yuanji felt that he would have resentment if he was in a different place.

After all, he has made great contributions to Li Tang, if Li Yuan doesn't value him, and let him sit on the bench, he will definitely blame Li Yuan.

"Where's Su Dingfang?"

Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang and asked.

Xie Shufang bowed and said, "Before daybreak, I took the artisans accompanying the army to the forge in the pass."

Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully.

Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang should have done some division of labor. One person dispatched soldiers and horses overnight, and one person hurriedly took the artisans accompanying the army to the forging workshop in the pass to help.

Whether it is the matter of distributing soldiers and horses, or the matter of forging armor, it is the top priority and cannot be delayed.
