Li Yuan, who was sitting at the top of the table, felt that his head hurt a little again. The two sons... were here to beg for their lives. If Erlang was the eldest son, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Or if Dalang could achieve world-class military exploits like Erlang, he would also No need to be embarrassed anymore.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan looked at Li Shan who was still standing there, "What do you think of Huairen?"
Li Shan spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty has orders, and I will obey them."
The implication of this sentence is that you, the emperor, give orders, and I, the minister, obey the orders... But Li Shimin was right, Zhang Shigui is indeed the most suitable candidate.
In ancient times, commanding an army, setting up camps, and dealing with a large number of Zhechong and local officials was a highly technical job that also required specialized learning... How did Li Shan know this?
In the past, when leading an army, no matter how large or small, Li Shan would directly designate one person as the chief general. He would only be in charge or check for omissions and fill in the gaps, such as Guo Pu at the earliest, Su Dingfang later, Wang Junhao, Er Zhu Yichen and so on.
After a pause, Li Shan added: "Your Majesty, the most important thing is... the grassland was covered with heavy snow at the end of last year. It is said that a large number of livestock died of freezing, and Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan had to stop and make peace."
Li Yuan heard this and was confused. Last year, the Turks were defeated one after another, losing troops and generals, and suffered from hunger, cold, and internal strife. This year they will definitely invade the south. However, Yanmen Pass is guarded by the Duke Li Jing, and it is very likely that they will invade the pass, so they The position of Lingzhou Road Marching Manager will be set up. Is there any problem with this...?
Only Li Shimin among the people present reacted. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Li Shan, thinking that this guy is also very good at talking.
"Yu Gushe was captured alive by his ministers twice, and finally committed suicide in shame. Jieli Khan suffered a series of defeats last year, and was hunted down by his ministers three times. Three Khan flags were captured." Li Shan spread his hands and said, "Ashina· Dozens of generals such as Sheer, Ashina and Simo were either dead or captured, plus Jingguan by the Cangtou River..."
Li Yuan finally understood, and slapped the table beside the couch with his right hand, "Yes, Huairen must not take up this position!"
This guy is a troublemaker. Wherever he goes, trouble will happen... Li Yuan remembered that Princess Pingyang complained in front of him more than once or twice.
If the wars in Shandong were forced to happen, then Li Shan took the initiative to stir up trouble in Daizhou, causing Daizhou to prosper, Yuan Junzhang to come and surrender, and Shuozhou to be in chaos. It caused the death of Yusheshe and Yugushe, and caused the defeat of Jieli Khan.
Li Shan himself once argued that it was others who came to trouble me, and I never took the initiative to cause trouble... But who would believe such nonsense!
If it was just a few people who deeply hated Li Shan before... Well, before that it was mainly Yu Gushe.
But now, there are many people below Jieli Khan and Ashina She'er who hate Li Shan to the core. Not to mention anything else, the heads piled up on the banks of the Cangtou River are all the heads of the Ashina clan's children.
Although there is a high probability that the Turks will invade southward this year, the location chosen is not just Guanzhong Road, they may also invade Shuozhou, and may even test Yanmen Pass, or even worse, Longyou Road and Hebei Road.
But if they knew that Li Shan was appointed as the military commander of Lingzhou Road, those Turkic khans who wanted revenge would not have come directly to Guannai Road!
Li Yuan raised his forehead with his hands. It was so dangerous, so dangerous!
This troublemaker must not be let out casually!
The prince below, Li Jiancheng, had nothing to say. Just now, Li Shan had made an appointment with Ashina Sheer outside the palace to reunite on the battlefield to rekindle their old friendship. If Li Shan took over, he would probably capture Ashina Sheer alive. As soon as he returns to Wuyuan County, he will persuade Jieli Khan to attack Lingzhou.
Jieli Khan is now suppressed by his nephew Tuli Khan, largely because of the tragic defeat last year... If he wants to restore his reputation and regain his power, there is no other way than defeating Li Shan or even killing the captives. Li Shan is there a better and more efficient way?
The corners of Pei Shiju's mouth were twitching. This guy could actually find such a reason... This reason was also found from a very tricky angle. It was similar to Li Shimin's previous reason. The East Palace was speechless and had nothing to say.
It seems that King Qin really does not want the position of Lingzhou Road Marching Commander.
"Your Majesty." Li Shan saluted and said loudly: "Now the Tang Dynasty dominates the world. Although the Turks have civil strife, they are still huge."
"There will be a national war in the future. How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"
"But we have been fighting for many years, and we are now recuperating and accumulating our people's strength for the future."
"When the Turks invade the south, we should station troops at the border fortresses to protect the people from intrusion."
These few words are high-sounding, but they seem to be nonsense, but everyone present is a smart person, and everyone can hear it. The key is not what Li Shan said, but what Li Shan didn't say.
Facing the Turks, guard the territory, but it is best not to attack... Therefore, among the generals who face the Turks, the best choice is those who are good at defending.
In other words, Li Shan was admonishing Li Yuan that the Tang Dynasty did not have enough strength to start a national war with the Turks.
Li Yuan took a deep breath, Lingzhou Road Marching Chief... It seemed that the childbirth was still going to be difficult, and he should probably cut through the mess quickly.
Putting all these things behind him for the time being, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Huairen came to see you today. Why?"
"Your Majesty, I have been serving as the Minister of Agriculture for several months. I have established my position without any merit. I am ashamed of the trust you have placed in Your Majesty..."
"Hahaha!" Li Yuan scolded with a smile, "You still have the nerve to say it, you sleep in Sinong Temple every day, and you don't even go to the office to soak in the hot springs in Lishan Mountain!"
Li Jiancheng also laughed and said, "My father is so generous that he even gave Huairen five mouthfuls of Lishan soup."
"Your Majesty!" Li Shan said sternly, "I would like to come out of the capital to inspect the affairs in the fields."
Li Yuan was stunned, remembering that Li Shan mentioned this matter years ago, "Is it for cotton planting?"
"Exactly." Li Shan nodded and said, "Cotton is of great benefit to the country and the people. I would like to ask you to take charge of it."
As early as when Li Shan first took office as Sinong Qing, many people in the court could see that Li Shan went to Sinong Temple to promote cotton.
Chen Shuda smiled and said: "In the future, all the people will wear cotton clothes to resist the cold winter, and they will definitely feel the kindness of Handan."
"Although it is bloated, it is sure to keep warm." Yang Gongren said with a smile: "Where is the King of Handan going to try planting?"
While they were chatting here, Li Shimin yawned quietly. He had heard Ling Jing report this matter a long time ago, and he had agreed to it. The situation between the DPRK and China was tense now, but it was not at the last moment, not to mention that Su Dingfang had already been informed. After it was delivered, Li Shan himself had no actual role in seizing the legitimate son.
I heard Ling Jing mention that it is close to the Yellow River, it seems to be on the same continent, right?
The next moment, Li Shimin heard Li Shan say this.
"Your Majesty, I would like to choose Qianyuan County, Longzhou."
