It is still midsummer, the sun is blazing in the sky and the climate is dry. Li Shan and Cui Xin stand under the shade of a tree halfway up the mountain. Looking from a distance, tens of thousands of horse hooves roll up the yellow sand in the sky and roll towards the north.
"I hope Duke Guan and Duke Changxing can make a difference." Cui Xin sighed: "In the eight years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one has paid attention to Master Liang. Who would have expected..."
Qian Jiulong was born in Changxing County, Huzhou. Just then Li Shan and Cui Xin joined the army to read out the imperial edict. Qian Jiulong was granted the title of Duke of Changxing County. He not only led his troops into Jingzhou, but also inspected the governor of Jingzhou.
At the same time, Guan Guogong Ren Gui led his troops north to Longzhou and became the general manager of Longzhou. The current general manager Chang Daping transferred the governor of Jingzhou... The unlucky governor of Jingzhou led his troops to serve the king not long ago, but was ambushed and defeated by Liang Luoren. Sima and Changshi They all died in the battle, and they themselves escaped with wounds, and died of their wounds within a few days.
"It should be able to stabilize the defense line, right?" Li Shan coughed twice, "They are all generals with outstanding military exploits."
"What if the situation is unstable?" Cui Xin turned around and asked, "I heard that His Majesty intends for you to take charge of the war?"
This matter is actually not a secret. In the eyes of many people, Li Shan, who had saved the enemy, was given the power to control the armies by Li Yuan. Logically speaking, he should be the best choice for the coach.
Li Shan laughed, "I don't dare to take on such an important responsibility. If Duke Guan and the public forces of Changxing County fail to fight, I'm afraid your Majesty will have to..."
Cui Xin understood this sentence. If Qian Jiulong and Ren Gui could not regain the three states, Li Yuan would not be able to sit back and watch Liang Shidu take root in Guannai Road. No matter how hesitant, he would have to re-enable King Qin.
Today's series of changes made Cui Xin a little confused. His son-in-law seemed to have some connection with the East Palace, but he also seemed to have something to do with King Qin. He couldn't be a man who had both sides, right?
Cui Xin stopped thinking about it and just snorted, "As long as you stay in Renshou Palace honestly!"
If Ling Jing said such things, Li Shan would have to say a few words. If Wang Junhao and Zhu Ba said such things, Li Shan would have to pretend to be whipped and kicked a few times, but he was Lord Taishan now.
Li Shan said aggrievedly: "This time it really has nothing to do with my son-in-law, and I didn't provoke Master Liang..."
"I mean the Turks!" Cui Xin, who was a bit dark-faced, shouted angrily. Just yesterday, Li Yuan smiled and talked about the marriage grant next year. Well, this kid changed his name and called himself son-in-law today.
After hearing this, Li Shan said angrily: "That's right... I heard that Ashina She'er and Tuli Khan were at war at the beginning of the month. My son-in-law thought it was strange. There must be something inside."
After a pause, Li Shan explained in a low voice: "On that day, my son-in-law spread rumors that only She'er and Tuli are the heroes of the Ashina clan."
Cui Xin nodded and said: "This is a divorce plan."
Li Shan sighed, "Ashina She'er is a man who knows Chinese studies and is familiar with Taoist strategy. How can he not see that..."
Cui Xin was a little confused, but Li Shan did not continue to explain. There is a famous proverb in later generations: Don't do what your enemies want you to do, because they want you to do that.
In fact, this principle can also be reversed. I spread rumors in the hope of civil strife in the Turks. Ashina Sheer, who must have seen through it, did what I expected, and did better than I imagined.
But the problem is that Ashina Sheer does not necessarily have to go to war with Tuli Khan to prove his loyalty to Jieli Khan. He has many ways to avoid this civil strife, even if it is a temporary civil strife.
Ashina Sheer should also know that he can no longer gain the trust of Jieli Khan. Once Tuli Khan is wiped out, he will be the next target... Who let Li Shan's rumor spread in the fifth century? Yuanjun is spreading it widely.
But Ashina Sheer still did that, without flinching or watching indifferently. He started fighting as soon as he rushed back to Wuyuan County... This had to make Li Shanxin suspicious.
However, Li Shan was not prepared to explain all this to Cui Xin, and he did not even mention it to Ling Jing... After all, it was Li Yuan who decided to release Ashina Sheer.
Cui Xin, who had narrowly escaped death this time, looked at his son-in-law and said softly: "The war is dangerous, so we should avoid it if we can in the future. What's more, with the help of the rescuer, His Majesty's injuries are not serious, and he should be able to remain in office for at least ten years." Year."
Li Shan nodded, "I have been enthroned as a county prince and cannot be promoted. No matter how great my achievements are, I am not a prince after all. It is difficult to enter the central government. After I get married next year, I will live in Chang'an and never go out again."
Cui Xinxin felt uncomfortable when he thought about next year's wedding, but then he heard Li Shan continue: "But the people around me should be able to get a lot of benefits from this rescue."
After hearing these words, Cui Xin raised his brows, "I heard your Majesty discuss with King Qin and Duke Yang a few days ago. The reward has almost been decided. The second son of the Zhou family may be knighted."
"You idiot, Zhou Erlang, is really lucky." Li Shan laughed and cursed. Zhou Erlang went over the mountains and ridges to Liyuan County. It turned out that Li Shan had already gone north to Huating. By the time the guy went to Huating, Li Shan had already gone south to Renshou Palace. .
"If you don't avoid danger, you should be heavily rewarded for protecting Your Majesty from the rebellious army." Cui Xin briefly mentioned that he himself was fished out of the rebellious army by Zhou Yilang.
"Not bad." Li Shan said casually: "I don't know what rewards Zhang Sanlang, He Fang, Qu Silang, Hou Hongtao, etc. will receive this time."
When Cui Xin thought about it, he felt that things in the world were wonderful. Everyone felt that Li Shan was very similar to the King of Qin. He also set foot on the battlefield at a young age and was invincible and invincible. Both of them are not liked by their father... Li Shimin is just not liked by his father, but Li Shan is even worse.
Now Cui Xin feels more like it. The personal guards and close people around Li Shan are a bit like Tiance Mansion. Although the organizational structure and scale are very different, after all, Li Shimin has been building a team since Li Tang was not founded, and Li Shan It only took a few years to go north to Chang'an.
However, both of them had many generals who were awarded titles due to their military exploits. Li Shimin also had many generals who had already become famous, such as Yu Chigong under Liu Wuzhou, former Sui generals Qu Tutong, Wagang Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin from the village, and Li Shan mostly found them from the wilderness. Even Su Dingfang was only slightly famous in Shandong.
The other Wang Junhao, Zhang Zhongjian, and Zhou Yilang are all unknown, but now there is Su Dingfang, a county prince, Wang Junhao, a county boy, Zhou Yilang is at least a county boy, it is hard to say, but Zhang Zhongjian should be able to get them too. A title... After all, Li Shan had done a great job in rescuing the emperor, but he was already a county king and could not be promoted, so the generals around him could naturally share the benefits.
After a while, the army was no longer visible, and only the yellow sand in the sky could be faintly seen. Cui Xin came back to his senses and whispered: "Beware of Pei Hongda after you return to Beijing."
Li Shan sighed, "Father-in-law, believe it or not, it was not my son-in-law who set up the trap this time!"
"My son-in-law has absolutely no need to do such a thing!"
Listening to Li Shan's long explanation, Cui Xin nodded from time to time. What his son-in-law said made sense. If they could kill Pei Shiju together, it would be fine. It was really not necessary to just kill his son to anger Pei Shiju!
Cui Xin believed it, but Li Shan was suspicious. Do you just believe it?
Li Shan told similar words to Ling Jing, Li Shimin, Su Dingfang, and Chai Shao. Most people didn't believe it. At most, they were half-convinced. But Cui Xin believed it?
Li Shan lamented that others were too dirty-minded, and lamented that his father-in-law was too easy to fool.
