The atmosphere in the room was almost stagnant. Li Shan looked up at the beams above his head, seeming to be in a daze. The subordinate officials below held their breath and concentrated, and there was no sound at all.
Lu Chengji regretted mentioning the matter of Duke Ying just now. After he went to join the military, although he admired Li Shan's series of methods and achievements in Daizhou, he also felt that his old friend was still the same.
It was only at this moment that Lu Chengji realized that other colleagues had completely different attitudes from his own when facing Li Shan. He also realized what kind of authority this friend who indulged in Pingkangfang with him now had in Daizhou.
Zhang Gongjin, Xue Wanche, Zhang Shigui, Ma Sanbao, which one is not a long-established hero in the world?
Li Shan stared at the beams above his head for a long time, thinking that even if there were red bricks, a lot of wood would still be used to build a house... Li Xiaogong's rebellion, this incident put a damper on all his subsequent plans and calculations. Crush.
If you can't get through this level, everything will be lost!
"Huairen?"
In this situation, only Li Kai can use this kind of address.
After coming back to his senses, Li Shan forced a smile and said, "There is insufficient military rations, insufficient equipment, and insufficient livestock in the fleet. Brother Demou needs some help."
"It's a matter of responsibility." Li Kai nodded and said, "Okura, Xia City, just took inventory five days ago."
Li Shan took a deep breath and raised his voice: "Generals, listen to the order. If the Turks attack in large numbers, they will fight outside Yanmen Pass to prevent Daizhou from being invaded and to allow Hedong to recuperate."
"Follow His Highness's orders."
"Follow His Highness's orders."
"Zhang Shigui." Li Shan stood up and said, "When will the construction of Guji Town be completed?"
"It's basically completed." Zhang Shigui replied: "Thirty thousand men and women are about to trek back home."
"It has been registered before. It would be best if you can return to your hometown. If you can't return, Lu Chengji, the Recorder and Military Officer, will take care of him." Li Shan cut through the mess quickly.
Lu Chengji came out to respond, looking a little hesitant.
Li Shan glanced over. He knew that although Lu Chengji was serious after taking over the post of Lu Shi and joining the military, he had little experience, some literati habits, and some of the subordinate officials were disobedient.
"Go back and tell them that if something goes wrong, they can touch their heads on their necks to see if they are still safe." Li Shan snorted, "Zhang Hongshen has traveled all over the three states, and you will help manage it."
Zhang Gongjin should be out of the queue.
"Mayi and Guji towns are hanging outside the fortress, and their focus is on food and grass." Li Shan continued: "Now that we are preparing to fight against the Turks, we naturally focus on food and grass first."
As soon as these words came out, both Zhang Shigui and Liu Shirang relaxed slightly. As Li Shan said, they were not afraid of a large-scale Turkic invasion, nor were they afraid of riding in front of the formation, but they were only afraid of the Turks' overwhelming superiority in siege. .
Last year, Yuan Junzhang attacked Mayi with heavy troops. In fact, Gao Manzheng was not afraid of confronting Yuan Junzhang, but he had no choice but to follow the 20,000 Turkic army southward, first defeating Li Gaoqian, and then besieging Mayi.
But even so, Gao Manzheng held on to Mayi for more than a month, until he finally ran out of food and fodder and had no choice but to break out. In the end, his men rebelled and were defeated and died.
"The first transfer of military rations will not be enough to make up for the big warehouse in Xia City." Li Shan said slowly: "The specific number will be discussed by Liu Shirang and Zhang Shigui with Lu Chengji and the treasurer, but they must be reported to a certain place for sealing first."
"In Daizhou and Xinzhou..." Li Shan looked at Er Zhu Yichen, "In the first month of the first month, he ordered the reconstruction of the Zhechong Prefecture in the two states. Tens of thousands of residents were relocated. Can they all be registered?"
"All have been registered." Er Zhu Yichen cupped his hands and said.
"Fifty percent will be relocated to the local area, and fifty percent will be relocated, and civilians will be mobilized." Li Shan instructed: "From now on, we will transport grain and grass to Mayi and Guji Town."
"The deployment of troops will be handled by Su Dingfang."
"If there are insufficient ordnance or war horses, they will be called from the armies in the fortress. If there are still insufficient, I will send a letter to Bingzhou."
Zhang Shigui took stock in his mind. Li Shan's handling was a bit confusing, but he got it right. The most important things now were food and grass, and troops.
As long as there is no shortage of food and grass, Guji Town and Mayi will not be said to be impregnable, but it is basically impossible for the Turks to easily break through. As long as there is no shortage of troops, even if Yanmen Pass cannot send troops outside the fortress, it can still ensure that it is difficult for the Turks to break through and invade the Hedong Road.
For more than a month before, Li Shan, who was ready to get out, was basically in a lazy state, but now, he is very busy, and he has to carry a whip in his hand to whip the people below him around.
It sounds simple, but it is not that easy. It is not that easy just to enter the customs of 30,000 men and women, recruit thousands of civilians, and transport a large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance to Mayi and Guji Town.
Just like Zhang Shigui two months ago, Li Shan now suffers from a shortage of manpower. It is not that there is a shortage of civilians, but that there are really insufficient command personnel at the grassroots level. As a last resort, he went to Xin Bingzhou and borrowed a lot of money from Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng. Literary officials came to help.
But what Li Shan didn't expect was that Dou Jing, the head of the Bingzhou General Manager's Office, came in person... Of course, Li Shan also paid a high price. Dou Jing was also in Bingzhou Xingjuntun and "borrowed" away. Three hundred cattle.
But at the same time, Dou Jing was also frightened. Xia Shi, who had high hopes from Li Shan, showed unparalleled throughput. Except for the manpower guarding Okura and a few insiders, no one could have imagined that with the help of Yuhu Chun , Ma Yin, Xia Shi swallowed up such a huge amount of grain reserves in the past half year.
On the road from Xia City to Yanmen Pass, there was an endless stream of convoys transporting grain and grass. Dou Jing on the roadside asked softly: "As a rule, the DPRK should send a Daizhou general manager, and maybe even a marching general manager of Hedong Road." .”
The tired Li Shan looked haggard and his lips were curled up, "It has been five days and there is still no news."
Li Shan's meaning is obvious. If the DPRK wants to send a general to replace Li Jing, the results should come out after such a long time.
At this moment, Chang'an City, the Imperial City, is in the Linhu Palace.
Princess Pingyang, who was standing next to Li Yuan, stared at Pei Shiju who was talking eloquently indifferently, thinking that this old dog had broken his face.
Pei Shiju and Princess Pingyang both knew it well and knew that the other knew all the inside information. However, Pei Shiju's advice to Li Yuan in this way only meant that he no longer took Princess Pingyang seriously.
Or to put it another way, Pei Shiju guessed that Li Shan had joined King Qin, and because of Li Shan's relationship, even if Princess Pingyang did not side with King Qin, she probably would not side with the East Palace.
This is also a signal from Pei Shiju. Even if you, Princess Pingyang, are here, I will kill Li Shan.
After listening to Pei Shiju's lengthy analysis, Li Yuan was a little hesitant. Indeed, although Li Xiaogong had arrived in Chang'an, initial inquiries found no actual evidence of rebellion. Li Jing, who had resigned as Yangzhou Governor's Office Chief Shi, would soon be able to go north to take up his post. There was no need for another. Select acting state governor.
Even if it is too late, the Turks will attack in large numbers... If they just hold on to Yanmen Pass, the strength of the Daizhou Army will be sufficient.
What's more, Li Huairen, the king of Handan, defeated the Turks several times in Shandong and Shuozhou. He also had famous generals such as Su Dingfang, Ma Sanbao, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Gongjin, and Xue Wanche under his command. How could he not be able to defend Yanmen Pass?
This explanation cannot be said to be unreasonable, and Li Yuan also knew that since he had formed an alliance with Tuli Khan, Jieli Khan would not attack with all his strength this year.
Li Shimin was angry and funny at the same time. He was angry that Pei Shiju used general affairs as a means to achieve national affairs, and at the same time he was funny that his elder brother Li Jiancheng was being played around by Pei Shiju.
"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.
