There was only one square table in the huge hall.
There were seven or eight plates of dishes on the table. When I looked at Yu Hu Chun, I saw that Jiu Shesu was chewing and drinking, his cheeks were flushed. Cui Xin frowned and sat down reluctantly, wishing he could get away.
Yu Sheshe and Li Shan were the most normal, drinking lightly and slowly, taking a few bites of food from time to time... Yu Sheshe was also very proficient in using chopsticks.
"Xiaozheng, please go back first." Li Shan said to Yuan Xiaozheng, who poured the wine himself: "Read the two poetry collections you brought back this time."
"Yes." Yuan Xiaozheng put down the wine jar, took a few steps back, and bowed before retreating.
Yu Sheshe felt a little uneasy. Yuan Junzhang's son actually worshiped Li Shan as his teacher... Fortunately, I stayed outside the city last night, but is it a bit risky to enter the city today?
"I didn't expect Huairen to be famous for his poetic talent." Yu Sheshe narrowed his eyes and asked, "I have long admired Chinese studies..."
Li Shan said seriously: "I can find out something about Brother Mo someday. If there is a chance, I can ask him in the pass... Everyone in the world says that there is no one who can surpass him in the imperial capital."
Yu Sheshe blinked his mung bean-sized eyes and forced a smile: "Huairen is really good at both civil and military skills."
"Brother Mo Mo, you're too polite." Li Shan smiled and said, "But what I have learned is indeed complex, and I am also good at medicine."
"Medicine?"
"Didn't Yuan Junzhang tell you?" Li Shan said in surprise: "Princess Pingyang was seriously injured last year, and it was delayed until February this year. She is so serious that it is difficult to recover. The disease has penetrated into the bone marrow. It is because of my wonderful hand that she can rejuvenate..."
"Oh oh oh..." Yu Sheshe almost understood. Yuan Junzhang said before that Li Shan was regarded as a nephew by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, and he was the sibling of Princess Pingyang. This should be the reason.
Cui Xin snorted coldly. He just couldn't stand Li Shan's appearance... Hey, I don't know who was waiting outside the camp gate last night. He was so arrogant!
Li Shan glanced sideways and said, "Jade Huchun is very strong, Cui Sheren, do you want to rest for a while?"
Are you trying to drive me away... Cui Xin gritted his teeth, stood up and threw his sleeves away.
"This person is a close minister of the saint." Li Shan picked up the wine jar and poured wine, and said with a smile: "You and I are narrating..."
Yu Sheshe glanced at Cui Xin's back and said, "If he is a close official of the Tang Emperor..."
The two of us discussed the alliance. In fact, it was Tuli Khan who formed an alliance with the Emperor of Tang Dynasty. Why should we drive him away?
Li Shan let out a long sigh, "Last night I listened to Brother Mo Mo's account of everything going on in the grasslands. Jieli Khan was so powerful and cruel, and often oppressed him, but Tuli Khan could only support himself..."
The leader of the association complained: "Before Du Bi succeeded to the throne, the tribes under his command were not as good as Yu Sheshe, and they were only slightly more than..."
After listening for a moment, Li Shan couldn't help but think about it in his mind. Yu Sheshe was the third son of Chuluo Khan. After Chuluo Khan died of illness, the tribe in his hands was divided into three parts, consisting of the eldest son Ao Sheshe and the second son Ashina. She'er and the third son Yu Sheshe took over. Among them, Yu Sheshe was the youngest son. According to the grassland custom, he got the most.
But soon Aosheshe died suddenly first, and the tribe was annexed by Jieli Khan. In this case, Ashinasheer chose to seek refuge, while Yusheshe chose to rely on Tuli Khan.
In the following years, Yu Sheshe was constantly dispatched to Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Yuan Junzhang as supervisors. The tribes remaining in the grassland were gradually eroded by Jieli Khan until this time Tuli Khan returned to Wu. Original county.
It can be said that both the power in Yu Sheshe's hands and his status as the youngest son of Chuluo Khan made him become the right-hand man of Tuli Khan, and his weight was quite important.
Yu Sheshe did not shy away from this matter. In fact, these were the basis for the alliance between Tuli Khan and the Tang Emperor.
After explaining it in detail and giving two examples, Yu Sheshe asked: "Huairen asked about this..."
"The fighting in the grassland is not much better in Chang'an City!" Li Shan sighed, "I guess Brother Mo knows the King of Qin..."
Yu Sheshe also sighed, "Of course I know the reputation of King Qin."
Last year Jieli Khan attacked Hedong, Yu Sheshe went with the army, and Li Shimin sent troops to Hedong Road. In fact, Li Shimin did not personally fight in that battle.
But unlike other Turkic generals, Yu She set up a supervisory army, Liu Wuzhou, and led two thousand cavalry to capture most of the Hedong Road. As a result, in the battle of Baibi, Li Shimin was as quiet as a virgin and moved like a rabbit, defended like a rock, and attacked like a thunderbolt. .
What impressed Yu Sheshe the most was the Battle of Baibi. Liu Wuzhou was defeated. Li Shimin took advantage of the victory and pursued it. He did not dismount for three days and four nights, and finally won a complete victory. Liu Wuzhou had to flee to the grassland.
Later, the King of Qin swept through the Central Plains and pacified Hebei. His various achievements also made the Turks as far away as Shuozhou and the grasslands faintly fearful.
Yu Sheshe asked tentatively: "Prince..."
"The King of Qin's achievements are unparalleled, but the crown prince cannot protect himself, and the fight for the heir in the capital is tragic." Li Shan smiled bitterly and said: "This Cui Sheren was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, but I don't know his details. There are some things that we should avoid. .”
The friend on the side suddenly asked: "Then where are you?"
"I entered the imperial examination and became an official." Li Shan said frankly, "This is not just a boast. I am good at medicine, good at understanding people, and have unparalleled poetic talent. I am familiar with classics and history, know military affairs, and have strategies. The prince and the king of Qin have been gentle on several occasions."
"But if we get involved in the fight for the right to inherit the heir, I'm afraid there will be something unbearable to say in the future... Just when I was panicking, it happened that Princess Pingyang was seriously ill..."
"Oh, oh." Yu Sheshe said with a smile, "Huairen is lucky."
Li Shan nodded with emotion, "That's true. It's a blessing to have His Majesty's favor, but the King of Qin and the Crown Prince..."
"That's why Dai County was released."
Yu Sheshe clicked his tongue twice and felt the same way. Li Shan was active and he was passive, but both were exiled to the border because of internal strife in the country.
In the past two years, there has been little contact between Li Tang and the Turks, and the trade routes have been cut off. Yu She had the intention to form an alliance with Li Tang, so he naturally had a need for internal information about Li Tang, so he immediately inquired in detail.
Li Shan knew everything and talked about it all, and he wanted to pour it all out... This is why he drove Cui Xin away. If the father-in-law was here, he probably wouldn't be able to stand it.
"Before Xiaozheng went to Chang'an, I specifically told you that since you are my disciple, you cannot accept invitations from the East Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace at will."
"Hey, life is hard for both you and me!"
"No." Li Shan picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. "On this return trip, I will report everything to His Majesty secretly and ask him to make a decision."
After a pause, Li Shan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have the right to secretly report. If nothing else, Princess Pingyang is the most favored by the saint."
Yu Sheshe nodded, "But all matters still need to be discussed."
"It has been roughly decided. Some things need to be discussed in detail in the future." Li Shan said with a wry smile: "But next year, I may have to move..."
"Um?"
"Yu Gushe hates me to the core. If he knows someone is in Yanmen, he will definitely attack." Li Shan shook his head, "It's better to run away."
Yu Sheshe laughed and nodded, "If I knew you were in Mayi, I would have led troops here immediately."
Li Shan's hand when pouring wine froze, "Brother Momo, he doesn't know that someone is in Mayi, right?"
"Sending people back to Wuyuan County only mentioned that the Tang Emperor sent envoys to appease Yuan Junzhang." Yu Sheshe explained, "What Huairen said last night was right... the enemy of the enemy is a friend."
Li Shan grinned, "Not only that, this is the first time I met Brother Momo, and I felt like we were old friends at first sight."
"I feel the same way." Yu Sheshi's cheeks bulged, and he may have felt a little disgusted, so he immediately changed the topic, "In this case, then all things still need to be discussed, such as Shuozhou now..."
Li Shan rubbed his brows, "Actually, I sent people back to Yanmen the day before yesterday to transport food and grass to Mayi. They should arrive today or tomorrow... We can't really let people starve to death."
Yu Sheshe was greatly surprised, "You are worthy of the name of Huairen."
Li Shan accepted it without any courtesy... A batch of food and grass really didn't matter. In fact, Daizhou's food and grass supply was very abundant now, and Yuan Junzhang's nearly 10,000 troops could not be satisfied by this batch of food and grass.
Don't say anything else, at least the posture is out there...Yuan Junzhang, open your eyes wide and see clearly. Although you can't surrender to the Tang Dynasty, Mayi is in such a miserable state, the army is in short supply of food and grass, and the Turks are unwilling to control it and can't control it. .
The only one who is willing and able to take care of it is Li Tang, and I, Li Huairen, are the only ones.
