In the dilapidated Renshou Palace, Li Shan wandered around a little bored, saying hello to several generals from time to time. Everyone respected him... If Li Shan hadn't come to help that day, many people would have died. here.
Of course there are other reasons.
After the First World War in Tiantai Mountain, a large number of government soldiers came to help soon, but they were all outside the palace or in the outer city. Most of the guards in the palace were old people or transferred from the Beiya Imperial Army in central Beijing. Previously, Su Dingfang came from Daizhou and Shuo. Many old troops were transferred from the state, and each of them had followed Li Shan to chase the enemy Mobei. Most of them had witnessed Li Shan charging into the formation on his own horse.
What's more, when Li Shan just arrived at Renshou Palace, because the generals and soldiers were either injured or exhausted, Li Yuan ordered Li Shan to take over the defense, and many of his guards were sent to various passes... In other words, if Li Shan wanted to investigate Basically nothing escapes his eyes.
However, Li Shan actually basically did not care about anything except changing Li Yuan's dressing in person and patrolling the wounded barracks day and night... The peripheral defense was handed over to Zhang Jin, and the inner city defense was handled by Zhang Zhongjian.
It has been a month since Ren Gui and Qian Jiulong led their troops to the north. Battle reports were delivered daily, and the defense line was basically stabilized. Liang Shidu personally led his troops south to Longzhou, but was rejected by Ren Gui to the north of Huating. Zhiliang's army was more unlucky. They marched south to Jingzhou and were attacked by Hu Yan, the governor of Ningzhou, and Qian Jiulong, the governor of Jingzhou. They returned with a heavy defeat.
However, the Tang army did not pursue it... It was already the end of July, and grassland tribes including the Turks could move south to invade at any time, but I didn't know what the situation was like in Wuyuan County.
Seeing Zhang Zhongjian who was patrolling, Li Shan stopped and greeted, "Sanlang, are you not in a hurry?"
"Mr. Lang is joking." Zhang Zhongjian showed a self-conceited smile, "It has been more than a month since the war, and it is not appropriate to discuss merits."
"It's almost time." Li Shan said casually: "I heard a few words from Jiang Guogong yesterday, but I don't know if Sanlang can be knighted."
Logically speaking, although Zhang Zhongjian and others have made great contributions, they are not registered sergeants. They are only accompanying the army as Li Shan's personal guard, so they should not be awarded titles. However, on the one hand, Li Shan himself has no title and is already a county king and personal guard. He is qualified to share the profits. Last year Wang Junhao was knighted as a county boy. On the other hand, Zhang Zhongjian made great contributions in the battles of Guji Town and Cangtou River last year. It is hard to say for others. He should be able to be knighted.
It's just that this time in the Tiantai Mountain battle, Li Yuan was really embarrassed. Although Liang Luoren's surprise attack was the main reason, Li Yuan's improper handling of things caused damage to the courtiers, generals and even the clan's harem... It was not a great victory in quelling the chaos and defeating the enemy. The reward is naturally delayed.
After wandering back and forth, Li Shan walked to the wounded barracks while thinking about the guards who had arrived in Qianyuan County to pick cotton. Now in the world, Li Tang's officials gathered here the most, including the chief and deputy chiefs of the three provinces. There are Yang Gongren, the minister of Zhongshu, Yu Wenshiji, the minister of Zhongshu, Wen Yanbo, and Tang Jian, the minister of Huangmen.
"Huairen is here." Yang Gongren, who was lying on the wicker chair, turned pale, smiled and waved: "It should be almost done, right?"
Li Shan smiled and checked his body, nodded and said: "Mr. Yang is well cultivated. He will be back to his original state in ten days."
Yang Gongren sighed: "If it weren't for Huairen this time...don't forget me."
Before Yang Siyi on the side could speak, Li Shan smiled and said: "My nephew and brother Siyi are of the same age and are good friends. We should support each other in the future."
"Da Lang has mediocre qualifications and a loyal nature." Yang Gongren shook his head and said, "I just hope Huairen can give me some advice in the future."
Li Shan skillfully acted modestly at first, and then patted his chest and assured... He had heard similar words many, many times. It was no exaggeration to say that it was not just Li Yuan and Li Shimin who were rescued this time, but also a large number of courtiers.
In this era, courtiers were basically linked to the children of aristocratic families. In other words, a large number of aristocratic families owed Li Shan a favor.
This is no less important than Li Shan's rescue effort.
Because the eldest son Yang Siyi has some contacts with Li Shan, Yang Gongren has a good impression of Li Shan, but in general, he is still relatively distant. However, after this incident, there is no doubt that the Hongnong Yang family is at least the Guanwangfang branch. I owe Li Shan a favor, and it will definitely be a close relationship in the future.
What's more, with Li Shanyou's great contribution to rescuing someone this time, it can be said that he has no worries in his life, and it doesn't matter how close he is to such a person... Many people think so. In the past month, in addition to the Xue family in Hedong who are already familiar with him, In addition to the Taiyuan Wen family and the Jiexian Liu family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Boling Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family and other aristocratic families all wanted to express their goodwill to Li Shan. Even the Taiyuan Guo family, who did not have a good relationship with Li Shan because of the trade route back then, Shi is also very friendly.
After chatting for a few words, Li Shan went to visit Yuwen Shiji and Wen Yanbo, and then went to see Qin Qiong... This legendary general in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was seriously injured this time. Li Shan took the courage to I had surgery and managed to survive, but it was hard to say how many years he would survive.
"Let's see again." Li Shan whispered to Ling Jing, who was also here to visit his colleagues: "But even if there is a famous doctor, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to go into battle again in the future."
Ling Jing sighed, "Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong often accompany His Highness to show their bravery, but in fact they are both talented generals."
Li Shan smacked his lips without saying anything. He and Ling Jing turned around and went to Su Dingfang's ward. He was still thinking in his mind. It seemed that among Li Shimin's famous generals, Qin Qiong was the first to die. He was about the same as Du Ruhui... I don't know about the latter's life. Will he still die young?
"Oh, Brother Dingfang looks much better." Li Shan teased as soon as he entered the room: "It's a shame that the Li family's sister-in-law is here."
"Greetings to Your Highness." Mrs. Li saluted in a serious manner, "Greetings to Duke Ling."
Li Shan gave him a help, "I have told you so many times that although my younger brother and Brother Dingfang have different surnames, they are close friends of life and death. Sister-in-law, please don't do this again in the future."
"You're welcome indeed." Ling Jing sneered, "If it weren't for Huairen, why would Dingfang be seriously injured this time?"
Li Shan laughed, with disdain in his laughter... This old man is so awesome, can this pot also hit me on the head?
Ling Jing glanced at Li Shan, "If it weren't for you, why would Dingfang be in charge of the palace?"
Li Shan and Su Dingfang looked at each other. The former rolled his eyes, while the latter nodded slightly... It makes sense. If it weren't for Li Shan, he would never have been able to control the Beiya Imperial Army and take charge of the imperial palace, and he wouldn't be so unlucky.
"Ling Gong's words are wrong." Li said softly: "Since Lang Jun is in charge of the palace, he should be brave, so why should he blame the King of Handan."
Li Shan laughed and said, "Sister-in-law is still sensible!"
Although Su Dingfang was not quick-thinking, he could not help but cast admiring glances at his wife... Although Li did not fully understand the situation between the DPRK and China, nor did she know the true positions of Li Shan and Su Dingfang, she understood that Su Dingfang He is almost one with Li Shan.
There is already a mother in the family who hopes that she will cling to the East Palace. If his wife also has a powerful heart, then Su Dingfang's life will be really difficult.
But Ling Jing glared at Li Shan... Can you speak? Li Shi is sensible, so I am not sensible?
