Faced with this situation, Li Yuan felt a little helpless, thinking that Li Shan was too capable of troubles. Is it appropriate to let him take charge of the Daizhou General Manager's Office?
Not to mention other things, this season, just one name can attract five thousand Turkic cavalry to attack... In the words of later generations, the ability to attract hatred is too unbelievable.
Moreover, they received a memorial from Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong yesterday. After solving their worries, the Tang army is preparing to concentrate its forces to attack Dangtu, Wuhu, and Songyang. If the two fronts start fighting, the troops and food will not be tight, but if the Jianghuai side cannot be conquered for a long time, , and the Turks sent more troops to attack Daizhou...
"Yu Gushe wants to force Huairen to go out and fight." Princess Pingyang suddenly said, "How about transferring Huairen?"
Li Yuan was a little moved, this is a way... to remove Li Shan, the Turks will retreat.
Li Shimin noticed Li Yuan's attitude. In fact, the war this time did not matter, but the key point was... Before the Jianghuai War, it was impossible for Li Tang to start a large-scale war with the Turks. His father was afraid that Li Shan would actively provoke or be passively provoked, which would lead to The war started.
After thinking about it in his mind, Li Shimin nodded and said, "What Third Sister said is that if Li Shan is transferred away and another general is sent to guard Daizhou, there will be no worries."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jiancheng raised his voice and said: "Li Huairen has not yet been crowned. He stood firm in Yanmen to resist the Turks and made extraordinary achievements to force Yuan Junzhang to surrender. With such great achievements, his father gave him important tasks before he was promoted. How can he be easily transferred?"
Li Shimin had no expression on his face, thinking to himself, sure enough... the prince is now, as long as I agree with it, he opposes it, as long as I oppose it, he agrees with it!
Well, actually the other way around is the same.
Li Jiancheng leaned forward and said, "Father, I should order the governors and generals on behalf of the state to set off immediately to mobilize troops from Guanzhong and Hedong. It may be possible for the younger brother of the King of Rencheng to send a partial force to the north."
Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng and then at Li Shimin. Although he usually sided with the East Palace, he valued his second son's opinions on military affairs.
"If Huairen is in charge of Daizhou and the Turks invade in large numbers, what will he do?"
Li Jiancheng stood up and said: "My father's words are wrong. Without Huairen, wouldn't the Turks invade Hedong from the south?"
Feeling the questioning look from Li Yuan, Li Shimin's lips trembled, and then he said: "Brother's words are reasonable, but if there is no righteous advice, Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan may not be able to suppress the situation with heavy troops."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. This was indeed a reason. It was inevitable for the Turks to invade the country, but it was precisely because Princess Yicheng of the former Sui Dynasty was causing trouble that the timing and strength of the Turks' troop dispatches were affected.
Individuals also have influence on the war. As the person who forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender, beheaded Yusheshe, and captured Yugushe alive, the time and strength of the Turks' troop dispatch this year may also be affected.
Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin opposite and chuckled: "What the second brother said is reasonable, but Huairen has made extraordinary achievements in succession. If he is transferred..."
Li Yuan had a headache. He knew what the eldest son meant. With Li Shan's achievements just now and the actual power and responsibilities of being in charge of the Daizhou General Manager's Office, he really couldn't find a suitable position.
If he had been called back to the capital a year ago, even if he was in a relatively bad position, the worst he could do would be to be promoted to the rank of Duke or even Duke as compensation.
But now that he has taken charge of the Daizhou General Manager's Office, and he is recalled to Beijing, it is unreasonable for him to be in a worse position.
Princess Pingyang watched coldly for a long time and whispered: "If the Turks invade in large numbers, it will be at least May."
Let's put it off for a while. Anyway, as long as Li Shan doesn't go out to fight, Yanmen Pass will be fine. He can be transferred back to Beijing or transferred to another position before the Turks invade in large numbers.
Li Yuan made up his mind and directly ordered, "The adjunct officers and generals of Daizhou who were appointed years ago will immediately set off northward to mobilize 5,000 troops from Guannai Road, Jingzhao, and Hedong to garrison Daizhou."
Li Tangxing's military system consisted of farming on weekdays, training in his spare time, and being ordered to go out in war. However, it was not without standing troops. It was not difficult to mobilize 5,000 soldiers from three routes.
Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren, Zuopushe and Pei Ji to respond one by one.
Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and continued: "Order Li Daozong, the general manager of Bingzhou, to send a partial army north to help guard Yanmen Pass."
In fact, Li Yuan was quite satisfied with the two Hedong stewards, Li Shan and Li Daozong. Although they were both young, they were both outstanding men, and they did not interfere in the affairs of the heir... It was just that Li Daozong was cautious in doing things, while Li Shan...
Li Yuan was suddenly stunned. In fact, Li Shan was quite cautious in dealing with things, but why did he go to such trouble... and it seemed that he was the victim every time?
The news spread quickly, and there were actions in the East Palace, Princess Pingyang's Mansion, and Tiance Mansion. Not counting the troops mobilized, only the generals, colonels, and adjunct officers who were sent to their posts were also accompanied by personal guards. The sound of heavy horse hooves could be heard at the city gate from time to time.
At the same time that Xue Wanche, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, Ma Sanbao and others led their personal guards to set off, in the camp dozens of miles away from Mayi, the association leaders stared at He Lou Xingshu and Li Sanlang opposite with a sullen face.
"What does he want to do?"
He Lou Xingshu bowed and said, "Master, I just want you to step back for now."
"Retreat temporarily?" The association leader sneered: "Then Yuan Junzhang will send troops to pursue him?"
The Turks are different from the Han people. They are best at fighting against the wind. If they retreat, it is difficult to control the leader. If they are hunted down, the whole army will be swept away if they do not do well... Of course, the advantage is that the loss will not be too great.
He Lou Xingshu followed Li Shan's instructions sternly, "Lang Jun is now in charge of Daizhou General Manager's Office."
The association leader's expression changed. After Li Dayen died in the battle the year before last, he heard that Li Tang had withdrawn the Dai Prefecture Governor's Office. He didn't expect that it would be reestablished now, and it would be the same person.
The association leader is not as smart as Yu Sheshe, but he has figured out something... Li Shan suddenly reported this matter, which should be related to the alliance.
"All we need to do is withdraw westward or approach Mayi." He Lou Xingshu said softly: "Mr. Lang sent me to inquire and capture him again. What do we want?"
Jiushesu's expression changed drastically and he stood up suddenly... He didn't expect that Li Shan would ask this question and make such a calculation.
If Yugushe loses to Li Shan for the second time, or is even captured alive by Li Shan for the second time, regardless of whether he can survive on the grassland, his reputation will be reduced to the lowest point... Even the son of Khan was captured twice , what qualifications do you have to look forward to?
Although Jieli Khan had many wives and concubines, he only had this one son so far!
The association rate couldn't help but think of Yu Sheshe's private mention in Mayi City a month ago that this person had a sharp tongue and was like Su Qin and Zhang Yi.
Obviously, Li Shan's proposal hit the heart of the association and the Tuli Khan behind the association.
The leader of the association sat down slowly, "Yugu set up a personal expedition with five thousand cavalry to attack Yanmen. A certain leader of the headquarters confronts Yuan Junzhang... We should march westward..."
After a pause, his gaze swept over the two of them, "There are two envoys, one will return and the other will stay."
"A certain Li Fang, a member of the Li clan in Dai County, was recommended by Mr. Lang. Although he is of humble origin, he is still in the seventh rank." Li Sanlang took a step forward and said, "I am willing to stay."
