After learning that Yuan Xiaozheng arrived in Dai County secretly, Li Shan quickly judged that the young man's purpose was to leave a way out for his father Yuan Junzhang.
But after Li Shan discussed with Yuan Xiaozheng, he realized Yuan Junzhang's intention... Yuan Xiaozheng was too young and his mouth was not very reliable.
Yuan Junzhang may have really wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but what he wanted was not to join the court as an official like Guo Zihe who once occupied Yunzhou. What he wanted was territory, to occupy a piece of land in Shuozhou and Yunzhou. turf.
This is a typical figure with two ends... On the Turkic side, Yuan Junzhang's status is not high. If he joins the Tang Dynasty, he will not receive special preferential treatment, and his power may be greatly reduced.
What was placed in front of Yuan Junzhang was a living example of Gao Manzheng, a former subordinate of Shuozhou who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was given the title of Duke of Guo.
After Gao Manzheng surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he was immediately appointed as the general manager of Shuozhou. Not only was the number of soldiers under his command not reduced, but he also received supplies sent from Hedong by the Tang Dynasty. He was still the person in charge of Shuozhou.
Therefore, Yuan Junzhang had made up his mind... Li Shan quickly heard this meaning from Yuan Xiaozheng's words, and immediately judged that Yuan Junzhang had plans to raise troops south to attack Shuozhou, which was also consistent with The information found by Fan Shiyi is consistent.
Li Shan has already written letters to Liu Shirang and Li Gaoqian regarding relevant information, but these are not his main responsibility, and his attention still remains on business matters.
For the Yuan family, if they want to gain a foothold in Shuozhou, they must either gain the trust of the Turks or obtain the pardon of Li Yuan, but no matter which side, Yuan Junzhang, who has just been newly defeated and has suffered a great loss in power, hopes to get support.
This kind of support is both political support and resource support.
In this case, Li Shan appeared in Yuan Junzhang's sight.
After discovering that Tuesday Lang sent people to recruit people, Yuan Junzhang quickly sent people to Dai County to inquire. Some public information was not kept secret. Li Shanjue was granted the title of Duke of Guantao County, and he saved Princess Pingyang and won the favor of the saint... This is Something public.
This was a man who was trusted by Emperor Li Tang and even the royal family. He had a close relationship with Yanmen guard Li Gaoqian. He was also the founder and principal of this trade route. Whether it was politics or resources, Yuan Junzhang except Li Gaoqian Apart from goodness, the options are actually very narrow.
As for those prominent families in Hedong, I'm sorry, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Daizhou have been dominated by sabers in recent years. The influence of the aristocratic families in these places is very weak... Well, of course, Yuan Junzhang followed the Turks into the invaders several times. The whole family was harmed by this.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the Yuan family could only choose Li Shan.
Yuan Junzhang asked his son to just test it out, but he was completely deceived by Li Shan!
Li Shan soon discovered during the conversation that Yuan Xiaozheng, a young man, was not familiar with martial arts. He read a lot of poetry and books but had little talent. The most important thing was that the elder he respected the most was his grandfather, the late governor Shi Yuankan.
Yuan Kan, a native of Mayi, Shuozhou, was born powerful, good at strategy, and able to dance, but it was his extraordinary literary talent that made him famous in Hedong... He was praised by Xue Daoheng of the Xue family in Hedong.
Then... then, Ma Zhou mentioned it in front of Yuan Xiaozheng intentionally or unintentionally, and mentioned it in the absence of Li Shan, mentioning that Li Shan's poetry in Chang'an overwhelmed the city's heroes.
Li Shan completely forgot what he had planned when he left Chang'an...he went to Dai County and would never be famous for his poetic talent again.
In other words, I will never plagiarize again!
After listening to Ma Zhou reciting those verses that have been passed down through the ages, Yuan Xiaozheng admired Li Shan... Don't you admire him? !
After Li Shan found out that Yuan Xiaozheng was most fascinated by the article "Ai Lian Shuo", he immediately set up a trap... and asked Xiaoman to clean up the study in a very simple way.
Then...then Li Shan summoned Yuan Xiaozheng in the study, and the "Inscription on the Humble Room" came into being.
Grain Brown
Such an eternal masterpiece appeared in front of him, such a scene... may be left in the annals of history. Yuan Xiaozheng transformed into a fanboy and repeatedly claimed that Li Shan was his "teacher".
After several refusals, Li Shan had no choice but to accept this disciple.
Sorry, I really can't teach you anything... Li Shan is going to let this guy read more poems and books, and finally let the sentence "Articles are made by nature, but can be found by clever hands" come out.
It’s not that I won’t teach you!
However, since we are master and apprentice, we must be honest with each other. Li Shan gently took Yuan Xiaozheng to the backyard and said with a smile: "I'll leave it to Xiaozheng for the caravan."
"Master Li, don't worry." Yuan Xiaozheng patted his chest and vowed.
Li Shan felt that his face was a little hot, and he didn't know if it was red or not. He thought for a while and said softly: "My teacher considers himself a gentleman of Lian, but he organized a caravan to go out for business. I think Xiao Zheng must have doubts in his heart."
Although Yuan Xiaozheng was a bit naive, he was not stupid either. He said with a smile: "That day, when I saw Zhou Lang envoys to persuade people to return to their homeland and exchanged wine for cattle and horses, my disciples knew that Master Li organized a caravan to go out of the fortress. It seemed to be a Duwu, but in fact There are other plans."
Li Shan nodded approvingly, "There must be a battle between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty. There is a shortage of good horses in the court, and there is even a shortage of cattle in Guanzhong. I have a secret promise as a teacher..."
Yuan Xiaozheng speculated in his heart, does this "Shang" refer to the emperor or the prince?
It is said that Yanmen guard Zuo Wuwei, General Li Gaoqian, and Li Shi were good friends, and the former was a confidant of the prince.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yuan Xiaozheng suddenly heard Li Shan change the topic, "Duke Yuan wants to attack Mayi this year?"
"Well……"
"It was a helpless move due to the Turks." Li Shan shook his head indifferently, "This matter is fine. I just hope that Xiaozheng will protect the caravan."
"Master Li, don't worry." Yuan Xiaozheng patted his chest for the second time and assured, "There will be no mistakes!"
Li Shan smiled and wondered in his mind how many troops the Turks would send in this battle, but theoretically it was already the end of September, almost October. Even if the Turks helped Yuan Junzhang conquer Mayi... Yanmen should be fine, and he At least there is still more than half a year.
At this time, Yuan Xiaozheng asked cautiously: "Master Li, I have something to ask, I don't know whether I should ask..."
"As master and disciple, we are naturally honest." Li Shan's eyes were sincere.
"That day in Yunzhong County, Ashina Society..."
"Hahaha." Li Shan laughed and said, "She'er attacked Hebei last year and had a relationship with me as a teacher. I owe him his fame in Shandong."
When Yuan Xiaozheng heard what Li Shan mentioned, his face turned red and he seemed to be a little excited, "Master Li has both civil and military skills. He is truly an outstanding person."
Li Shan smiled and listened to his apprentice's praise, but after repeating a few words over and over again, he interrupted: "By the way, there is no need to hide anything from you and me when we return to Yunzhou this time, but if we meet a Turkic noble, we still don't mention it. good."
Yuan Xiaozheng didn't know why, but he nodded in agreement.
Please, if Ashina Sheer knew that I was in Dai County, it might not be like what would happen, but if Ashina Yugushe knew about it, that guy would definitely come to Yanmen regardless of carrying the knife!
