"I thought you were cultivating yourself, but I didn't expect you to be a troublemaker."
Princess Pingyang looked at the young man in front of her angrily and amusedly, "I heard from my second brother that you are usually gentle and elegant, kind to others, and always put kindness first when things happen. I didn't expect you to be so ruthless."
Li Shan, who had a rare visit today, curled his lips and leaned forward, "If others don't know, why doesn't Third Sister know... That Luo family is too rampant!"
Princess Pingyang laughed heartily and nodded repeatedly. She was a female family member and had already found out clearly that Luo Yang intended to marry the Cui family of Qinghe... But recently, Cui Xin was the only one in Chang'an City who was interested in choosing a son-in-law from the Cui family of Qinghe.
"Before Sichang sent out troops, I asked you to come and talk to me more often, but it has been more than a month and you only came today." Princess Pingyang teased: "Did you invite me to be a matchmaker?"
"When the time comes, I really want to ask Third Sister to be the matchmaker." Li Shan said with a smile... Now, Miss Cui has been recognized as the dish on Li Shan's plate. In the words of some of the female relatives present, this couple is What a masterpiece!
Li Shan estimated that the only obstacle in the future would be the Cui family itself... On the one hand, it was the influence of his killing of Cui Bo, and on the other hand, it was the headache of his father-in-law.
After chatting for a while, Li Shan got down to business.
Princess Pingyang was greatly surprised, "You want to go out?"
"When I first became an official, I was a county magistrate. It is the most suitable place to appease me." Li Shan said softly: "It's just that my uncle had previously pointed out that he should join the Sixth Division, but I still want to go out to sharpen my skills, so I asked the third sister to come forward."
Li Shan had thought about how to get along with Princess Pingyang for a long time... The life-saving favor should not be wasted casually.
But Ling Jing's words awakened Li Shan. If she didn't ask for help, Princess Pingyang would probably have doubts in her heart... The longer the time passed, the more doubts she would get.
On the contrary, asking for help for small things from time to time will help deepen the relationship between the two parties... For example, this time, Princess Pingyang happened to be used.
"Being a county magistrate... is quite appropriate." Princess Pingyang thought for a while, "Where do you want to go..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from outside, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has summoned you!"
A thin female guard walked in quickly, "Jiangnan urgent report, Huainan Daoxingtai Shangshu Zuopu Shefu Gong'e rebelled and occupied Danyang."
Princess Pingyang suddenly stood up with a solemn expression... Well, Li Shan was very calm. He was just thinking that in the south of the Yangtze River, as a time traveler, he had not interfered, so he should follow the historical track, right?
The name Fu Gong'er... Li Shan also had some impression that it basically added to Li Jing's reputation.
But Princess Pingyang didn't think so, nor did the important ministers or even the saint Li Yuan think so... The most direct proof is that under normal circumstances, Li Yuan would not summon Princess Pingyang when Liangyi Hall was discussing matters.
No important minister in the court had any objection to a woman entering the Liangyi Palace. Everyone knew the importance of Princess Pingyang...whether it was in His Majesty's heart or in the army.
"On July 14, Huainan Daoxingtai Shangshu Zuopushe and Duke Fu raised troops in Danyang, moved into Chen Palace, and appointed hundreds of officials. The Jianghuai army had already revolted." Shangshu Zuopushe Pei Ji said in a heavy tone, "I just received the troops. According to the report, Fu Gonger established himself as Emperor of the Song Dynasty and summoned Zhang Shanan to be the Daxingtai of Southwest Dao."
Li Yuan had a headache. Zhang Shanan was a bandit in the late Sui Dynasty. He rebelled against Lin Shihong and conquered Huainan. He occupied the five continents. It was not until the beginning of the fifth year of Wude that Liu Heitao finally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty after news of Liu Heita's defeat in Luoshui spread southward.
But only one year later, in March of this year, he launched an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and successively captured Shuzhou and Sunzhou. Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhao County, mobilized his troops, but he still failed to defeat the rebels... A few months passed in the blink of an eye, and Fugong Er raised an army to rebel, and the two rebel armies happened to be bordering each other. For a while, they were afraid that Jiangnan would be shaken.
Princess Pingyang ignored the courtiers and only glanced at the three brothers Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji.
Li Jiancheng looked solemn. Since Liu Heitai was crowned the head at the end of last year, it seems that the world has been settled, but in fact there are still many rebellions and wars. There are also troubles in Southwest, Hedong, Longyou, Huainan, and now Jiangnan.
But unlike other rebellions, the area controlled by the Jianghuai Army was quite wide. Du Fuwei successively defeated and annexed Li Zitong and Shen Faxing, occupying almost the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. From Danyang to the south and east, it was the Jianghuai Army's sphere of influence.
The so-called Danyang was later Nanjing.
The key is that the Tang Army has never fought against the Jianghuai Army... and the latter is one of the most powerful troops in the world and is familiar with the terrain of Jiangnan, so the Tang Army may not be able to get an advantage.
Li Shimin sat there quietly, knowing full well that unless Fugong Er could cross the Yangtze River and fight all the way to the Yellow River, threatening Shaanxi Province and Hebei Province, he would not be able to lead the army on an expedition.
On the other hand, Qi King Li Yuanji was eager to give it a try and spoke frequently, seemingly intending to lead the army.
Princess Pingyang glanced at Li Yuanji and shook her head slightly. It was impossible for her father to let Sanhu lead the army...not because of Sanhu's ability, but because of the current situation.
Since the third year of Wude, the Turks have moved southward every year. Hebei, Hedong, and Guanzhong have been subject to Turkic invasions every year. This year's wave has not yet begun.
To the west, Tuyuhun invaded Longxi Road and defeated several prefectures. Chai Shao led the army to go on an expedition. So far, no battle reports have been received.
More importantly, Chai Shao's expedition has already changed his flag. If he cannot return with a great victory, Jiangnan and Huainan will rebel, and the Turks will take the opportunity to go south... The Li and Tang dynasty, which had just nominally unified the world, is in a state of turmoil.
"The troops cannot be divided within the pass and east of the river. We need to station troops to prepare for the Turks to move south." Chen Shuda, the servant, said slowly: "Hebei and Shandong have been initially decided... For the current plan, King Zhao Jun should attack them."
Pei Ji frowned and said: "The king of Zhao County, Ping Liang, later served as the Zuopushe of Xiangzhou Daoxingtai. He managed the place well, but he divided his troops to pacify Lingnan and other places. The troops under his command were probably insufficient. The Jianghuai Army has more than 100,000 troops."
"Mounting troops from Lingnan Road, there are sufficient troops in Jiaozhou, Quanzhou, Guizhou and other places..."
Hearing what Li Jiancheng said, Li Yuan nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Li Shimin, "Erlang?"
Li Shimin thought for a moment and said softly: "Qizhou sends troops via the Huaihe River, which can reach the hinterland of the Jianghuai River."
"Li Shiji, the general manager of Qizhou, was defeated in Hebei and only escaped with his own life. How can he take on the important task?" Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "The general manager of Xuzhou, Ren Ziwei, the governor of the country, is brave and good at fighting."
No one else said a word... Well, the main reason is that this scene has become so commonplace that the prince and the king of Qin can quarrel not only over the generals, but also over an ant on the ground!
Li Yuan sighed. Of course he knew it well. Li Shiji was an old man from Wagang. Although it was Prince Xima Wei Zheng of the Eastern Palace who persuaded him to surrender, he followed the army to sweep the Central Plains and made many meritorious deeds. He was even favored by Erlang during the Battle of Luoshui... ...In order to rescue Li Shiji, Li Shimin almost fell into the battle.
Although Li Shiji has never served in Tiance Mansion, he is now recognized as a general of the lineage of King Qin.
Another general manager of Xuzhou, Ren Gui, served as a household officer in Hedong County in the Sui Dynasty. When Li Yuan and Li Shimin led the army on an expedition, their family members stayed in Hedong and were entrusted to Ren Gui's care.
Li Jiancheng and Ren Gui had a very good relationship. During the Luoyang War, Ren Gui served as the pacification ambassador of Henan Province. However, after the war, the Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province was established, and Ren Gui was squeezed out by Li Shimin and kicked to Xuzhou as the general manager.
After a long discussion, Li Yuan finally decided that Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, would control the armies and send another Lingnan Road ambassador Li Jing, Huaizhou general manager Huang Junhan, Qizhou general manager Li Shiji, Xuzhou general manager Ren Gui, and Huangzhou general manager Zhou Faming, a total of six armies, to join forces. Encirclement and suppression.
Just when the proceedings were about to end, Prince Li Jiancheng brought Prince Luo Yi of Yan County, who had been silent, into the palace and suddenly said intentionally or unintentionally, "I wonder if the King of Wu is still here?"
"After the Ministry of War received the battle report, Supervisor Pei sent people to investigate and found that King Wu was still in his residence." Chen Shuda glanced at Luo Yi and said, "After King Wu arrived in Beijing, he always lived in seclusion and seldom interacted with others."
Luo Yi frowned slightly, "The Jianghuai Army was created by King Wu, and now all of them have rebelled... That day when someone entered Chang'an, King Wu was walking in plain clothes. By the way, he had a close relationship with Li Shan of Dongshan."
As soon as she finished speaking, a clear female voice sounded, and Princess Pingyang stood up suddenly, "What do you mean by these words?"
"The rebellion of the Jianghuai Army may have something to do with King Wu, but even if it was ordered by King Wu, what does it have to do with Huairen?!"
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward. Li Yuan, who didn't know the inside story, glanced at Li Jiancheng. The latter covered his face and regretted bringing Luo Yi to Liangyi Hall... You want to trouble Li Shan, can you change the occasion?
At least, not in front of Third Sister, right? !
