I have never seen such a well-behaved person. This was Li Yuan's first reaction. Years and years ago, Yuan Junzhang successively paid tribute to various treasures and hundreds of horses, and invited himself to the court. After entering the palace, he was so respectful and sat sideways. As for the body, he is really too sensible!
Hey, this is because Li Yuan doesn't know how bad his reputation is!
Before the unification of the world, among the forces recognized as most likely to win the world, Li Tang was one, and the other two were Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. As a result, one was surrendered and the other was captured. One suffered an unexpected incident, and the other was beheaded in public... Especially Dou Jiande, according to rumors in Hebei , that day Li Tang promised to avoid death, and King Xia surrendered, and asked his ministers to return to Luozhou and surrender to Shandong. As a result, Li Yuan showed no mercy at all.
Another example is Pu Shanggong Li Mi and Wu Jun Li Zitong. After defecting to the Tang Dynasty, they were quickly labeled as intending to rebel and had their heads chopped off.
Li Yuan did not have much credibility in this regard, so Yuan Junzhang was naturally trembling and respectful. Later, the prince, Pei Ji, and Yang Gongren successively tried out various conditions proposed by him, and Yuan Junzhang gave in completely... For a local warlord who no longer had any ambitions, he could enjoy his wealth in peace. That's the most important thing.
The troops were reduced, and the young men were dispersed in Shuo, Dai, and Xinzhou. Generals were transferred from Daizhou Army and Bingzhou Army to Mayi, hoping to lead the governor of Shuozhou from afar and settle in Chang'an with his three sons... Yuan Junzhang almost everything He gave it up, although in the next one or two years, his name still has a lot of influence in Shuozhou.
Being so well-behaved, Li Yuan couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling, and with a wave of his hand, he also generously rewarded him. In addition to the various rewards agreed upon, he also granted him an additional house and promised his son the title of county baron.
Yuan Junzhang bowed down and thanked him, "This year the Turks will inevitably invade the south. I invite you to lead the governor of Shuozhou. Please choose another good general to station in Mayi to prevent the fall of this important town."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment and glanced sideways. Li Shan quickly shook his head to indicate... This was not my instigation.
Indeed not, Pei Ji said with a smile: "When we were together just now, Duke Rui asked about the famous generals in the court... Yiyang County Duke Liu Shirang has been in Hedong for a long time and can be called a famous general, but after all, he is old and needs to be supplemented by good generals."
Li Yuan nodded slightly and looked at the eldest son and the second son. It was necessary to settle in Mayi. It would be difficult for only Liu Shirang to last for a long time, and many grassroots generals would need to be included.
But settling in Mayi may not be a good thing for the generals. Although Yanmen Pass is there for support, they will have to face tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops. It is difficult for ordinary generals to bear such great pressure. If we can't hold on and surrender with the whole city, all our efforts will be in vain.
The reason why Liu Shirang was able to garrison Mayi was not because he personally killed Yu Sheshe, so it was impossible to surrender the Turks?
Therefore, people who are not both wise and courageous, but also strong-willed cannot be allowed to do so. Moreover, because of Liu Shirang's stubbornness, this person also needs to be humble in temperament, avoid internal fighting, and work together as one to protect Ma Yi.
Prince Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, leaned over and whispered: "Father, the Duke of Jiangxia County has been serving in the north for a long time. Now that he has returned to his hometown after being idle, maybe he can resume his duties as the Sima of Shuozhou?"
Li Shimin on the opposite side was speechless. It's normal to want to bully someone, but you can't be so stupid!
Others don't know, don't you know the deep hatred between Li Gaoqian and Liu Shirang?
Li Gaoqian falsely accused Liu Shirang of surrendering to the Turks, which caused most of the court to lose face... At that time, everyone was shouting to kill, but when they turned around, Li Shan took Liu Shirang as the vanguard and attacked the camp on a snowy night. Kill Yu Sheshe.
This is also a big reason why it is difficult to choose Shuozhou Sima.
But what surprised Li Shimin was that Li Yuan pondered for a moment before shaking his head, "Gao Qian is an old man from the past, and he should make a comeback. However, he has suffered many defeats before. It is not appropriate to settle in Mayi and face the Turks directly. Let's give him the title of Zuojian Gatekeeper General."
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and vetoed it on the grounds that Li Gaoqian was timid and avoided talking about his grudge with Liu Shirang. What did this mean?
Li Shimin didn't understand, but Li Shan, who had previously proposed to send a general as Liu Shirang's deputy, understood... Li Jiancheng wanted to personally go to Shandong the year before last, just to gain a piece of territory that could compete with Shaanxi Province. That time he didn't succeed, but This heart will never die.
Li Jing, who is about to be appointed as the general manager of Daizhou, was personally promoted by Li Yuan. He is not attached to the Qin Palace and may be won over by Li Jiancheng. If Shuozhou can be captured again...if Liu Shirang can be expelled and Li Gaoqian can lead alone. In Shuozhou, the Donggong side will have an absolute advantage in the northeast of Hebei Province.
Is it possible to expel Liu Shirang?
Of course it's possible.
Liu Shirang almost turned the DPRK into an enemy that day, with no help from the DPRK. His only backer was Li Shan... And after Li Jing took office, Li Shan would lose the authority to run the General Manager's Office even if he was not transferred back to the DPRK.
Li Shan secretly cursed a few curse words in his heart. Li Jiancheng's calculation was smart, but he just didn't think about it. Can that loser Li Gaoqian securely defend Mayi?
If someone abandons the army and flees again, the situation in the Hebei region will be in dire straits!
I don’t know if it was Li Jiancheng’s own idea or a bad idea from one of the staff in the East Palace. I really don’t want Bilian!
Obviously, Li Yuan also saw through this, but what he considered was that looking at the situation in the two states of Shuo Dynasty, Ma Yi could not be lost. Li Gaoqian could not bear such an important task, so he would rather re-appoint him as the left prison guard general... This is also a senior general in the Sixteenth Guards. He belongs to the Beiya Forbidden Army and obeys the orders of Princess Pingyang.
In terms of military strategy, Li Yuan still trusted his second son more. He turned to look at Li Shimin, "Do you have any recommendations for Erlang?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Xue Wanjun, the guard of Tiance Mansion, is worthy of the important task. He has a humble temperament and rarely gets along with others. If the Turks attack, Daizhou will not sit idly by and ignore it, right?"
While speaking, Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng, who looked ugly.
Li Shan almost burst into laughter. Xue Wanjun's brother, Xue Wanche, was a clerk in the Daizhou Governor's Office and joined the military. Li Shimin's reason... it was really hard for the prince to argue with him.
Li Yuan was also speechless. Erlang's angle of attack was too tricky!
After pondering for a long time, Li Yuan made up his mind, "I remember that Qin Wutong returned home to recuperate from his injury in the third year of Wude, and he has recovered now?"
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Yes, Qin Wutong entered Beijing at the end of last year, but he has not yet been appointed."
"That's him." Li Yuan looked at Yang Gongren and Feng Lun, "Zhongshu drafted an edict to grant Qin Wu Tongshuozhou Sima and lead the army to station in Mayi. Please ask Rui Guogong to assist you in this matter."
Yuan Junzhang, who had been left out for a while, quickly responded, "I will live up to your Majesty's trust."
Li Shan glanced sideways, and Princess Pingyang whispered: "This man is an old minister of his father. In the third year of Wude, he conquered Puzhou and captured the rebel general Wang Renben alive. He later joined his second brother's command and defeated the rest of Song Jingang's army in Fenzhou. He was killed in battle and seriously injured, so he resigned and returned home."
As a time traveler who was familiar with the history of the early Tang Dynasty, and with all kinds of inquiring in the past few years, Li Shan immediately remembered this person, during the battle with Ling Jing, Ma Zhou and Panbaibi, and during the Xia County rebellion. , I have heard of Qin Wutong.
In the third year of Wude, Song Jingang was close to the Yellow River. He was attracted by Pei Ji's tricks and went south. He did not go straight to Puzhou. At that time, there was a rebellion in Puzhou. The general manager Wang Renben led his troops to hold on. The Tang army was unable to conquer it after months of fierce attacks. This is also the reason. , Li Yuan had the idea of abandoning Hedong and sticking to Guanxi.
Li Shimin led the Guanzhong Prefecture troops to cross Longmen and garrisoned at Baibi to turn the tide. However, before that Li Yuan personally ordered Qin Wutong to lead his army to attack Puzhou. Qin Wutong pretended to be defeated and lured the enemy out of the city. He then turned back and charged, defeated the rebels and captured Wang Renben alive. , for this reason Li Yuan rarely left Chang'an, came to Puzhou, ordered Wang Renben to be killed, and granted Qin Wutong the title of Duke of Xiu County, Shangzhu Kingdom.
After that, Qin Wutong was seriously injured and became an official... Li Shan thought in his heart, so to speak, Qin Wutong has a background in the Qin Palace, but he is not regarded as a lineage of the Qin King. The former Qianshuiyuan, and later Luoyang and Hu He did not participate in the Lao and Luoshui battles, so he should be regarded as someone who was encircled by Li Yuan.
Also, most of the people who can fight are on the side of Prince Qin's palace. The Jianghuai war is still ending, and Li Yuan has no choice.
While Li Shan was thinking this, Li Yuan's voice came to his ears.
"The Duke of Guantao County, Acting Governor Shi Lishan listened to the title."
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
