Ma Zhou, whose genius was bright and with a haggard look on his face, had already gotten up. He opened the window and a cold air hit his face immediately, causing him to shiver all over.
Li Shan's sleepless and angry voice sounded from the bed behind him, "It's still snowing, why don't you open the window after eating?!"
Since arriving in Guantao, Ma Zhou has been sleeping in the same room as Li Shan. After all, the place is too small. Fortunately, there are two beds. Otherwise, Li Shan would have kicked Ma Zhou to the ground to sleep... This guy is too sloppy.
"It has stopped." Ma Zhou said aggrievedly: "This time... in your words, there is no credit but hard work, but you are so rude..."
The three-state coalition forces went to war and attacked Liu Heita's headquarters from two directions. During this period, communication was mainly completed by Ma Zhou, which indeed contributed a lot.
Li Shan glanced at the window that had been closed before snorting, "Do you also admit that there is no merit but hard work?"
Ma Zhou was speechless and cursed: "Others say that you are gentle and elegant, and that benevolence and righteousness come first..."
Li Shan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Yes, yes...why...oh, it must be someone who is close to Mo, and it's all led to bad things by Uncle Ling..."
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"
Severe coughing sounded outside the house, and Li Kai raised his voice, "Huairen, Mr. Ling is here, why don't you get up?!"
Well, this time he was caught slandering someone behind his back. Li Shan put on his clothes and went out and saw Ling Jing's black face unexpectedly. He could only go up to him and say a few soft words... The rest is up to the old man. You have to do your best, don't be embarrassed at this time.
Li Kai looked at this scene funny. His friend was once in a difficult situation in Beijing, but no matter when, where or who he faced, he was always calm and composed. Even in front of the King of Qin, he was able to speak eloquently. Unexpectedly, he looked like this when facing Ling Jing now. appearance.
After Li Shan washed his face and brushed his teeth, and Mrs. Zhou from the opposite door brought the food, Li Kai got down to business, "I heard that Cheng Mingzhen beheaded Liu Heitai last night?"
"Yeah." Li Shan responded casually, turning his head to look at Zhou, "Is this a carrot?"
"Uh...it's Lai Fu."
Ling Jing was a good person and had noticed the clues a long time ago. The Zhou family was alone and living in someone else's household. It was only twenty years ago and it was not awkward to live in the Su family. Su's mother asked Zhou family to bring sex and collect clothes for washing every day, which was obviously intentional. Send out the door.
Li Kai asked from the side, "I heard it was Huairen who promised it?"
"The death of an old mother, wife and children, such a great hatred, no one can live together." Li Shan explained. "What's more, Brother Daoxuan and Manager Tian have won a big victory and made some small mistakes, which is very pleasing."
Li Kai thought thoughtfully, this idea is not only suitable for Li Daoxuan and Tian Liuan, but also suitable for Li Shan himself... During this period, Li Kai also lived in this alley and fully knew what Li Shan had done in Shandong and Hebei this month. What you do.
It can be said that Liu Heitai's defeat had its inevitable factors, but he was defeated at this time...or in other words, he was defeated before Li Jiancheng, the prince of the East Palace, went on an expedition. Li Shan played a big role in promoting it.
Ling Jing on the side was not that easy to fool, and sneered: "Who does De Mou think of this guy?"
Li Kai felt something was wrong when he heard this, so he blinked and said nothing.
No one stood up, so Ling Jing could only grit his teeth and continue: "All the plans are far-reaching. Xu Cheng Mingzhen kills Liu Heita. What a big deal. When I return to Beijing one day, if the East Palace uses this to provoke..."
"This..." Li Kai cast a questioning look at his friend.
Indeed, Xu Cheng Mingzhen beheaded Liu Heita, Prince Li Jiancheng could do it, King Qin Li Shimin could do it, King Qi Li Yuanji could do it, and even King Huaiyang Li Daoxuan could do it.
But Li Shan, who has not yet become an official and is nominally just accompanying the army to take care of the food and grass accounts, cannot do this.
To put it nicely, this is called a fox pretending to be a tiger. The tiger is naturally Li Daoxuan, and he is 80% willing to take the blame... But Li Shan doesn't think so, because even Li Kai heard the news from Yuchi Baolin, and obviously Li Shan , Li Daoxuan did not block the news.
To put it harshly, this is called subjugating one's superiors... Which superior would want such subordinates?
Faced with Li Kai's doubts, Li Shan chuckled, "Yesterday at the Yongji Canal, before the war broke out, Cheng Mingzhen said that if he was allowed to behead Liu Heitao, he would be ordered by the King of Qin in the future."
Ling Jing raised his eyebrows, and the doubts in his heart deepened...not for Cheng Mingzhen, but for Qin King Li Shimin.
This is obviously a generous gift from Li Shan to King Qin.
But why is the young man in front of him so optimistic about King Qin?
Logically speaking, even if Li Shan was aware of the dispute in the court, but he had not yet entered the palace of the King of Qin, how could he determine that the King of Qin would be able to seize the throne?
He was undefeated on the battlefield and invincible, but in the end he was defeated and died in the court situation... For such examples, Ling Jing could name dozens of names in a row without losing breath.
No matter how good you, King of Qin, are in fighting, can you compare to famous generals like Bai Qi, Li Mu, Zhou Yafu, and Wei Qing?
And it's not an ordinary court dispute, but a battlefield for the succession where failure will inevitably lead to death.
Li Kai frowned slightly, "At the beginning of the year, I accompanied His Highness on the expedition to Hebei. A certain person also knew the name of Cheng Mingzhen. He was quite courageous. He beat drums in the west of Luozhou City to prevent Liu Heitai's main force from going north to attack the Youzhou Army. Later, the grain road was cut off, so that Liu Heitai had to go out of the city for a decisive battle..."
"This man is not well-known. He was a county magistrate under the King of Xia, and became the Yongnian County Magistrate after joining the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, he is both civil and military, and he is the first-class hero in Shandong." Ling Jing said softly: "If he throws himself into the palace of the King of Qin, he will be the magistrate of Yongnian County." Come down to regain Hebei and appease the Shandong states..."
Li Kai nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Liu Heitai was now defeated and dead. The next two main things were to recover the lost states in Hebei, and the second was to appease Shandong, and Cheng Mingzhen was the main operation for these two things. By.
The two kept talking. Li Shan on the side just drank porridge and ate side dishes until his stomach was full. He took the towel and wiped his mouth before saying: "Two months ago, I joined the army with the order of Chang'an. I was in Wuling County. I have been stationed in Nei for a long time. I met Wei Xuancheng and talked with him several times. This man admired Cheng Mingzhen quite a lot."
Ling Jing's mouth moved and he glared at Li Shan fiercely.
Li Kai on the side was stunned for a while before he realized, "Cheng Mingzhen wants to surrender to the East Palace?"
"Wei Xuancheng was the prince's horse washer. He was a confidant of the prince. He quietly left the capital and accompanied the King of Qi on the expedition. He obviously wanted to spy on the heroes of Shandong." Li Shan smiled and said: "Wei Xuancheng was a famous scholar in Shandong and once served as an official of the King of Xia. He must have been there early. If you have a plan, how can you miss Cheng Mingzhen, who has great military exploits but has a rift with the King of Qin?"
"Is there any gap?"
"After the great victory at Luoshui at the beginning of the year, did you hear that the King of Qin did not allow Cheng Mingzhen to pursue Liu Heitai?" Ling Jing sneered: "Liu Heitai came back, and the King of Qi stopped moving forward. The East Palace intends to personally attack. If the prince Xu Cheng Mingzhen kills Liu Heitai, First level..."
Li Kai looked at his nonchalant friend with brand-new eyes. He was already attracting attention in Beijing that day, but after a few months in Hebei and Shandong, he was dazzling and unobtrusive.
Xu Cheng Mingzhen beheaded Liu Heita, firstly to recruit Cheng Mingzhen and prepare for the subsequent appeasement of Shandong. Not to mention other things, Cheng Mingzhen's talent alone made him stand out in the Qin Palace.
Secondly, Li Shan judged from various signs that the East Palace had an attempt to recruit Cheng Mingzhen, and Cheng Mingzhen probably knew that Li Jiancheng intended to personally conquer the army. If he were not afraid that Liu Heitai would flee to the grassland again, he would not necessarily send troops this time.
The two most important people in the East Palace in Shandong, Yuan Guogong Shi Wanbao, the deputy general manager of the march in Hebei Province, has committed suicide, and Li Yuan, the general manager of Luozhou and Prince of Lujiang County, abandoned the city and fled. If Li Shan pushed Cheng Mingzhen into Li Shimin's arms, it would mean his death. Stopped all Dong Gong's plans in Hebei.
Li Shan believed that Li Shimin would like this gift.
