Li Yuan read the memorial at a glance, with a smile on his lips, and handed the memorial out...he hesitated for a moment before handing it to the prince. After all, in such an occasion, he could not give too obvious a signal.
After Li Jiancheng read it, he handed it to Li Shimin and passed it down one by one. Pei Shiju glanced at it a few times and felt very bored. That guy Li Huairen was really not a good guy. He played a trick that could be called a trick... Suddenly he remembered something from many years ago. Regarding the dismantling of the mountain temple, Du Ming was embarrassed by this guy's plan to destroy the family.
After everyone had finished reading, Li Yuan naturally asked: "Erlang?"
Even in the past, the first person Li Yuan asked about this kind of military decision was definitely the King of Qin.
Li Shimin hesitated for a while and then said softly: "Maybe it can be done."
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan's face and said tentatively: "Uncle, maybe he can succeed in one battle."
In the memorial, Dou Gui requested that troops be sent from Yanzhou to attack Shuofang County. In fact, someone had proposed it before, but before that, due to the defeat of Li Shenfu and Ren Gui, a large number of troops were lost, which led to Li Shan's expedition. At that time, most of the troops in Guan Nei Dao were mobilized, and Yanzhou was also short of troops. The defense was acceptable, but it was difficult to send troops.
But now that the Tang army has captured Xiaoguan, Yuanzhou, which was most likely to consume troops, has been recovered. The next war does not actually require so many troops. Some of the troops can be transferred back to Yanzhou, which makes it possible to send troops from Yanzhou.
In fact, everyone in the palace is not stupid. Everyone wants what Pei Shiju wants. Even Li Yuan is sure that the person behind Dou Gui's letter is probably Handan King Li Huairen.
But this was not a bad thing. On the contrary, Li Yuan secretly sighed that Li Huairen was meticulous and found out all the leaks.
The next war will break out in Lingzhou and Huizhou. The most important battlefield is Lingzhou. If there are partial troops sent from Yanzhou, then the Liang army, which has been unstable due to the fall of Xiaoguan, will have two soldiers. Facing the enemy, it is even possible for a partial army to attack Wancheng along the Qin Straight Road... In short, sending troops from Yanzhou can greatly damage the morale of the Liang army and shorten the time to regain the lost territory.
And why is it Dou Rail?
Last year, Su Dingfang was ordered to control the Beiya Imperial Army as General Zuojianmen. Logically speaking, Dou Gui, who was appointed General Youqianniuwei, was on the same level as Su Dingfang. However, in fact, he was under his jurisdiction. Dou Gui was very experienced and had many military exploits. She was born in a foreign family, with an arrogant temperament and refused to take matters into her own hands.
With such a temperament, how could Dou Gui take over as the head coach and take charge of the Lingzhou war?
They broke the bones and then lay down to eat the meat and drink the soup... Dou Gui couldn't do such a thing, not to mention that the court and the Central Committee may not know it clearly, but Dou Gui himself knew what happened in the two battles in Jingzhou and Yuanzhou. , the first contribution was made by the King of Handan, and this contribution was attributed to Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian. In fact, he, the deputy commander, failed to play any role.
In comparison, sending troops from Yanzhou can attack the flanks of the Liang army and attack thousands of cities, which is more suitable for Dou Gui.
Pei Shiju glanced at Chen Shuda. In fact, everyone knew that if the sealing ceremony was held today, Liangyi Hall would definitely discuss matters after the morning session, and the candidate for the marching director of Lingzhou Road would definitely be selected. And Dou Gui's memorial appeared so coincidentally... he had to It is suspected that Chen Shuda has completely surrendered to the King of Qin, which is different from before when he just moved closer to the King of Qin.
Taking out this memorial means that Dong Palace's plan has completely failed.
Pei Shiju had previously urged the prince to recommend Li Jing, the acting Duke, but now it was impossible because Dou Gui himself asked Yanzhou to send troops... and the previous candidates were only Dou Gui and Su Dingfang.
If the prince recommended Li Yaoshi now, it would be tantamount to vetoing Su Dingfang. Not to mention whether he would create a quarrel with Li Huairen who was about to return to the court, at least he would slap himself first... Just a few days ago, the prince kept saying that Zhao Guogong was a rival. The Duke is more suitable.
Pei Shiju closed his eyes. He lost again, but it was not considered a defeat. After all, in some aspects, he was in the clear and the other party was in the dark, and the initiative was also in the other party's hands.
But one thing is certain. Li Shan returned to Beijing with the power of victory, which has made Pei Shiju decide to postpone the plan. It doesn't matter if Su Dingfang becomes the coach. Even Master Liang will not last long.
Even if Su Dingfang stays in Lingzhou for a long time, it will not matter to the overall situation, because Xue Wanche and Feng Li should be able to return to Beijing by then... Although Luo Yi is there now, Pei Shiju really has no confidence in Li Gaoqian.
The final outcome was not beyond Pei Shiju's expectation. Li Yuan ordered a letter to be drafted and Dou Gui, the Duke of Fu State, was appointed as the general manager of the march on Yanzhou Road. The deputy general manager was Liang Li, the general manager of Yanzhou.
Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang served as the general manager of the Lingzhou Road march, Wu'an County Duke Xue Wanche served as the deputy general manager, and the long history was still Xihe County Duke Wen Yanbo.
"Calculating the schedule, Huairen should arrive in Beijing in the next two days." Li Yuan said with a smile: "Can you choose a font size?"
Pei Ji smiled and said, "Or Wei, please let your majesty decide."
Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Generally speaking, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period are the most important kings. Now Li Shimin occupies Qin, Li Xiaogong occupies Zhao, Luo Yi occupies Yan, the king of Han is Li Yuanjia, the eleventh son of Li Yuan, and the king of Chu is Li Yuan who died early. The fifth son is Li Zhiyun, the king of Qi is Li Yuanji, and now only Wei is left.
"Wei is strong with force." Chen Shuda said with a smile: "The King of Handan defeated the Turks several times, so it seems that he should use Wei."
Two legitimate sons, plus a son who was killed due to the Jinyang uprising, plus Li Yuanjia, who is the most favored among the young princes... Fortunately for Li Xiaogong, Luo Yi will probably not be able to retain the title of Prince Yan in the future. .
Li Yuan, who originally wanted to stay as the King of Wei, hesitated for a while and then changed the subject, "If Sinong Qing is vacant, who is the Shao Qing?"
"Sinong Shaoqing is Zhao Yuankai and Yu Wenying."
Zhao Yuankai had a very bad reputation. If his father had not been the former prime minister of the Sui Dynasty, he might not have had this position. Yu Wenying was the former governor of Jingzhou. It was this man who was defeated last year and led to Liang Luoren leading his army to attack Renshou Palace. Later, it was Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. Only after begging for mercy was he able to be appointed as Sinong Shaoqing. Li Yuan was not satisfied with either candidate.
Yang Gongren said with a smile: "There is no need to worry, after all, the King of Handan needs to cultivate himself when he returns to the capital, and he has other important matters."
"Is it important?" Li Yuan was a little curious.
"Originally the King of Handan planned to welcome his bride in May, but now he has moved forward to March." Chen Shuda explained: "The Li family's wedding date was set on March 12th a few days ago."
"It's finally time to get married." Li Yuan smiled and stroked his beard and said, "It's time to get married, the big man and Erlang, help me out."
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin responded and looked at each other. Naturally, this compliment did not refer to the two of them, but to the Crown Princess and Princess Qin.
The former was wondering whether to let his wife do the favor. After all, he was the one who recommended Su Dingfang.
But Li Shimin was wondering why the date was advanced from May to March. It couldn't be for no reason.
