Sun Moon Lake.
Yuan Xiaozheng respectfully saluted Zhu who was sitting at the top. Ling Jing, who was standing beside him, stroked his beard and smiled, thinking that Huairen had a sharp eye and picked this chess piece that had little potential but was very useful.
Li Shan specifically mentioned in his letter that Yuan Xiaozheng should not be allowed to interact with the East Palace and the Qin Palace. Ling Jing knew what Li Shan was worried about, so he simply took Yuan Xiaozheng from Honglu Temple to Sun Moon Lake... As for the master-disciple status, no one can choose Come out.
What's more, everything has been agreed and Yuan Xiaozheng will set off in the next two days.
In addition to Su Dingfang, sitting next to him were Li Kai and Wang Renbiao who came over to inquire about Li Shan's current situation. The others were more or less cliquey. Only these two people had a close relationship before Li Shan became famous, so there was no need to avoid taboos. .
Zhu only asked a few questions and then went to the backyard. Wang Renbiao and Li Kai took Yuan Xiaozheng to sit down and asked them about Yanmen affairs in detail.
Facing a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan and a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, Yuan Xiaozheng was very frightened. He almost said whatever they asked... Unfortunately, although he went to Yanmen in Dai County several times, his eyesight was not good and he couldn't see anything. Put out too much stuff.
Yuan Xiaozheng had only been in Beijing for three days, and he had already deeply felt the weight of his cheap teacher in Chang'an. From the emperor and prince and the world-famous King of Qin to many ministers, visiting descendants of prominent families, and Li Jing mentioned by Wang Renbiao and Li Kai. Yuan Xiaozheng was dazzled by the kindness of old things.
"Huairen has learned a lot, and his talents in medicine, arithmetic, strategy, and poetry are all second to none." Ling Jing said slowly: "As the first disciple of Xiaozheng, you should study hard."
Yuan Xiaozheng responded respectfully, but his heart was pounding... He had been unable to become a martial artist since he was a child.
"This time Yuan Gong came to vote, Mayi returned to the Tang Dynasty." Li Kai frowned and said: "Huairen launched a war in Dai County, but I am afraid that the Turks will come back next year."
Wang Renbiao was not interested in this aspect and turned to look at Ling Jing and Su Dingfang.
"If the Turks attack in large numbers, they will attack Mayi first and then Yanmen." Ling Jing also frowned slightly, "Shuozhou..."
Su Dingfang blurted out, "I'm afraid that Ma Yi will be hard to control..."
Although Ling Jing didn't finish what he said, Yuan Xiaozheng also understood that if the Turks attacked Mayi, Yuan Junzhang might not be able to carry him to death... Gao Manzheng defected to the Tang Dynasty and not only beheaded Yuan Junzhang's eldest son, but also all of them. There were Turkic soldiers in the army, so they defended Mayi for more than a month.
Wang Renbiao stood up with a smile, "Huairen went to take office this time. He worked hard and achieved great results, but I heard that he also made a lot of money. I also heard that Xiaozheng came with a good horse this time..."
"I'll give it to you." Yuan Xiaozheng quickly took Wang Renbiao out to pick the horse.
Watching the two people go out, Ling Jingcai continued: "We should select good generals to garrison Mayi, and then send heavy troops to guard Yanmen. Xinzhou and Daizhou must have sufficient troops. Once the Turks invade, they will set up camps outside the border and form a diagonal relationship with Mayi." momentum."
"The saint granted Yuan Junzhang the governorship of Shuozhou..." Li Kai shook his head, "If Yuan Junzhang revolts next year and the Turks attack Yanmen Pass, although there are heavy troops stationed in the east of the river, Huairen will be the first to bear the brunt."
Ling Jing is now Li Shimin's confidant, and although Li Kai has not yet served as an official, his father works in Tiance Mansion and is proficient in military strategy. Both of them know that Hedong's heavy troops...such as Li Shenfu, the general manager of Bingzhou, generally only know Going north to Xinzhou, he will not enter Daizhou. His main defense area is in Taiyuan Prefecture. After all, it is the home base of the Li and Tang royal families.
In this case, once the Turks break through Yanmen Pass, Li Shan is very likely to... Therefore, Li Kai persuaded him tactfully, taking advantage of this great achievement, he could be transferred back to the court, or he could serve in another place.
Ling Jing has also considered this route. Anyway, Princess Pingyang already knows the inside story and has a clear attitude... No matter where Li Shan goes, it should not be a problem.
With a slight sigh, Ling Jing whispered: "Huairen finally has the opportunity to use his skills now, how can he give up so easily..."
Ling Jing knew very well how much thought Li Shan had put into Dai County, and before taking office, he also considered the worst case scenario that the Turks might break through the border... But the problem was, after Ling Jing asked Zhu Ba and others, he found out I know that Yu Gushe is inquiring about Li Shan's current situation.
Li Kai also sighed, “It’s not just Yanmen that makes great achievements.”
But there is only Yanmen in the north. Due to the impact of the war, the whole county has no hope... Ling Jing muttered a few words in his heart before saying: "Let's see, even if he wants to be transferred, he still has to wait until Yuan Junzhang is recruited. After the dust settles.”
Li Kai nodded and said: "That's right. Even if the Turks want to attack Mayi Yanmen, there are still several months left."
After chatting for a while, Li Kai and Wang Renbiao each picked a good horse. In fact, they had already received a good horse from Li Shanxiang before, but Yuan Xiaozheng tried his best and couldn't give it away to show you...
"I have just reported that I will set off tomorrow." After Ling Jing told Yuan Xiaozheng a few words, he drove him to Honglu Temple... Tomorrow's departure is a formal occasion, and Yuan Xiaozheng must be present.
Looking at Yuan Xiaozheng's leaving figure, Su Dingfang whispered: "Now that King Huaiyang is serving as General Zuoweiwei, why not..."
"Do you want to transfer Zuowei Wei Zhonglang to Daizhou?" Ling Jing reacted quickly and thought for a while before saying, "There is a way...but it depends on Huairen."
Su Dingfang was a little impatient, "The Turks have retreated, and the king of Qi and Huaiyang will definitely be summoned back to the court."
If Li Dao
Ling Jing thought in his mind that in Daizhou now, Huairen was surrounded by generals such as Li Gaoqian, Xue Zhong, Liu Shirang, Li Daoxuan, Kan Leng, etc. No one could stand shoulder to shoulder with Su Dingfang in terms of military skills or leading troops into battle.
Moreover, both Liu Shirang and Li Gaoqian had their own agendas and were difficult to trust... If Su Dingfang had gone through, he would have been qualified to control the army with the support of Li Daoxuan and Li Shan.
In particular, Su Dingfang is good at riding and fighting, and Li Shan has many good horses, so he might be able to use this to achieve meritorious service again.
"Let Zhu Ba bring a message." Ling Jing sighed: "We have accomplished the job, but we are not retreating. Why bother?"
Su Dingfang was about to speak when he saw a horse approaching from a distance, "Why is he here?"
Ling Jing turned around and saw Zhang Wenguan, "Zhigui?"
Zhang Wenguan turned over and dismounted, bowed first, and then exchanged greetings. After hesitating for a while, he whispered: "I heard that Yuan Xiaozheng brought a good horse with him on this trip..."
Su Dingfang was surprised. It was not that he was reluctant to part with a few horses, but there was no one who came to ask for them... Moreover, the horse Zhang Wenguan rode was sent to him some time ago.
Ling Jing thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "This is because I didn't think carefully. I wish Zhigui could lead a few more horses."
Zhang Wenguan laughed dryly. My uncle is leaving tomorrow. Today he came to the door out of nowhere. He said something about being driven by unscrupulous horses and saying it would be difficult to go north...
