In addition to Su Dingfang, Qu Silang and Hou Hongtao also returned this time. Zhang Zhongjian took the old people who were in Mayi and some of his guards to stay in the army. In addition, He Liu and He Fang from Sun Moon Lake also stayed in the army. But He Liu is no longer considered a native of Sun Moon Lake. His brother-in-law Yuan Junzhang moved to Chang'an a few days ago.
"Brother Daoxuan." Li Shan hammered Li Daoxuan's shoulder, "There is no use for him this time, but in the future war with the Turkic countries, brother Daoxuan will definitely be able to show off his skills."
Li Daoxuan did not have much chance to show his face this time. He led the right army in the first battle in Jingzhou, but it was only a small fight. The only ones who showed their faces were the front army, the middle army and Su Dingfang, who commanded the cavalry. The subsequent battles in Lingzhou were basically The momentum is overwhelming, and there is no chance to go into battle.
However, Li Daoxuan had no complaints. He laughed and cursed a few times and then sighed: "You can only hate the rumors in the capital, otherwise Huairen will surely regain the three states, destroy the Liang Kingdom, and capture the capital of Liangshi!"
"What King Huaiyang said is true." Duan Zhixuan clicked his tongue, "There were such shameless rumors that day, and I don't know who did it!"
"Who else could it be?!" Li Daoxuan snorted, scanning Feng Li not far away from the corner of his eye.
Ever since the first battle in Xiabo, Li Daoxuan has been a die-hard member of the King of Qin's lineage. This is recognized, and even Li Yuan had to pinch his nose to admit it. Since then, Li Daoxuan has almost had a chance to quarrel with Dong Gong, Xue Wanche Because his relationship with Li Shan was slightly better, Feng Li was in a worse situation and was often criticized by Li Daoxuan.
And Li Daoxuan didn't care about this. In June last year, the Liang army attacked the Tang army outside the Renshou Palace. Li Yuan almost died. It was Li Daoxuan who shot down Liang's soldiers with an arrow at the critical moment, leaving Li Yuan alive.
After hearing these words, Li Shan was speechless. It was already recognized that the people who spread the rumors that day were Turks... although there was no evidence.
And according to the analysis of the situation at the time, it was not Dong Palace's turn to take the blame anyway. Li Daoxuan was unreasonable.
Li Shan patted Feng Li on the shoulder. The Prince's confidant's face turned dark and he looked angry.
"Don't worry." Li Shan said gently: "After all, he fought for the country and made many meritorious deeds. Regardless of the future, he will eventually be a hero of the country."
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Si of Wei." Feng Li also sighed in his heart. In fact, he was a little envious of Xue Wanche. He was far away in Lingzhou and did not have to get involved in the chaos in Chang'an. Even if the King of Qin came to power in the future, Xue Wanjun would be there. Maybe the King Si of Wei would intercede, and King Qin wouldn't do anything to it.
But Feng Li was different. He had been following Prince Li Jiancheng for a long time. Li Jiancheng had been in close contact with Feng Li since Li Jiancheng was in Hedong County, and then he naturally entered the East Palace until now.
In addition to these familiar generals, Li Shan also saw many generals who had some impressions, such as Kang Guogong Shi Danai, who was also a direct general of the King of Qin, and some middle-level generals from the Prince of Qin's Palace and the East Palace. The two sides were about to start a decisive battle. The prologue, of course, is to send the elite back to Beijing.
Li Shan sighed. They were fighting side by side last year, but this year they have to fight against each other. How sad and regrettable.
The situation was about to break out, and Li Shan didn't even know if Li Yuan felt the atmosphere that would explode if a spark fell.
Considering that when the Xuanwu Gate Incident occurred in history, or on the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, both the prince and the King of Qi forced Li Shimin to do that, and Li Shimin had already accused the prince of having an affair with a concubine in the harem. This is obviously It’s about killing the fish and breaking the net!
But even so, Li Yuan did nothing and allowed Li Shimin to control the palace that night, and sent him and Pei Ji, Pei Shiju, Chen Shuda, and Yang Gongren who came one after another the next morning to the lake to enjoy the breeze.
You must know that even though Li Shimin has unparalleled prestige in the army, after all, the Bei Ya Forbidden Army guards the palace city. If Li Yuan is wary, it is difficult to say what Li Shimin's chance of success is.
There were many people in the Tang Dynasty clan who were good at this kind of coup, but Li Yuan obviously did not have this sensitivity.
After the ceremony, everyone went into the palace to meet in Liangyi Hall. This time, Li Yuan was able to stabilize himself. He comforted generals Su Dingfang and Duan Zhixuan with a pleasant expression, and gave each of them a royal horse on the spot. As for the actual rewards, they have not been announced yet. .
Li Shan stood aside without saying a word, watching all this in boredom. He occasionally exchanged glances with King Qin or Pei Shiju. The former had already sent a message through Ling Jing. One was Li Keshi and the other was Kan Ling. , and the latter casually complimented Li Shanzhi on Chengtianmen Street a few days ago for his good tactics, and actually nailed Xue Wanche to Xiazhou.
However, Xue Wanche failed to come back, but all the other generals from the Donggong line came back. In addition to Feng Li, there were also generals such as Xie Shufang and Li Zhian.
Perhaps because of his harsh attitude toward the generals who returned to the capital three days ago, or perhaps because he deliberately concealed the truth, Li Yuan frequently consulted Li Keshi, Kan Ling, and Zhang Baoxiang today.
"I know that the Li family has a son who has good relations with Huairen. He was first appointed as acting county magistrate and then as Baiquan magistrate. After a few more years of hard work, he can return to the capital." Li Yuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "A house in Danyang is really a gift from God. Generations of heroes emerge one after another.”
Indeed, now Li Jing of Danyangfang is the general manager of Daizhou, Li Keshi and Li Qianyou are also important, a right Qianniuwei general, a Yuan governor Shi, and even Li Kai and Li Demou are also famous in Chang'an.
Li Yuan was also deeply impressed by Kan Ling. The latter once had a fight with Luo Yi, the king of Yan County, in the imperial city and was sent to Daizhou. Later, he was ordered to follow the army south to pacify Jianghuai. It is said that he worked very hard. Mo Dao in the battle of Jingzhou Attack, Li Yuan greatly appreciated it.
"It is indeed extremely powerful." Li Shan said with a smile: "But it cannot be used by those who are not tall and strong. There were tens of thousands of soldiers in the government that day, and the Linji County Duke only picked out less than a thousand people."
"It is best to be in the Jianghuai area. Unless you are in the valley in the north, it is difficult to reach the enemy." Li Daoxuan also added: "Yuanzhou can be used."
Pei Ji smiled and said: "Then it would be better to let the Duke of Linji County go out to be the governor of Yuanzhou. Generals Zhang Wu'an and Xue Wanche were transferred from Daizhou. Li Yaoshi made a memorial more than a month ago, asking the court to select good generals to replace them."
This thing is true. Li Jing is also speechless. That guy Li Huairen is going to lead the army. As he said last year, he temporarily seconded two generals, Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche. As a result, just after they left, Zhang Shigui became the governor of Yuanzhou, and now Xue Wanche He also became the general manager of Xiazhou, and Li Jing also beeped the dog. He strongly suspected that Li Shan did it on purpose.
Chen Shuda sneered and said: "Prime Minister Pei's words are wrong. The director of Linji County is military strategy, but there is no military in Yuanzhou now. We need good ministers to appease the place and take care of military affairs at the same time. Those who need both civil and military skills cannot take this responsibility."
He started talking nonsense again. Li Shan secretly rolled his eyes, but what Chen Shuda said was not wrong. Kan Ling was the adopted son of Wu King Du Fuwei. Ten years ago, there were many heroes in the world. In terms of birth, only Du Fu Wei is a truly reckless person, so most of his generals are extremely brave but not good at political affairs.
Although Kan Ling is married to a woman from a Jiangnan family, he doesn't know many words. How can he serve as the governor of Yuanzhou, let alone how important the position of governor of Yuanzhou is under the current circumstances. King Qin's lineage How could it be allowed to change hands?
I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival and eat more rice dumplings.
