The Lingyan Pavilion matter has come to an end. Although only three people, Li Xiaogong, Li Huairen, and Dou Gui, have been appointed for it so far, and there are still twenty-four vacancies, the intention of advising Lingyan Pavilion has been achieved.
In the final analysis, Li Shan's proposal of Lingyan Pavilion and Li Yuan's adoption of Lingyan Pavilion were nothing more than an attempt to reconcile the situation when discussing merit.
Now that there is the carrot of the Lingyan Pavilion Meritorious List hanging in front of him, Li Yuan is just that harsh. Although the reward scale for the generals cannot be compared with the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang and the Great Victory of Shuozhou the year before, it is slightly higher than before. Some.
What is very interesting is that Li Yuan did not divide them according to the order of the fierce battle for half a year, nor according to the size of their achievements, but by camp.
But in terms of evaluation of generals... no one in the Liangyi Palace is more qualified than Li Shan. This is the main reason why Li Yuan summoned Li Shan to the Liangyi Palace today.
"In the Battle of Jingzhou, Feng Li served as the deputy general manager of the cavalry, cooperating with the King of Huaiyang to block the main road on the right. Later, Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang broke the formation, and Helan's victory also had many military exploits." Li Shan told the truth, "Feng Shili is a man who knows Xiao Xiao He has military strategy, knows how to fight, and has the support of the soldiers. He has the authority of a flying general, but does not have the taint of a flying general."
Pei Ji asked with a smile: "It seems that Feng Li can be reused in the future expedition to the grassland."
"Prime Minister Pei misunderstood." Li Shan explained: "There is no taint in the flying general. It does not mean that he knows the direction, but that Feng Li does not condone his soldiers to plunder places. He himself is honest, but whatever he gains, everything is scattered." Under his command."
During the Pre-Han Dynasty, two famous generals at the same time, Li Guang and Zhou Yafu, represented two completely different styles. Zhou Yafu was about rules, while Li Guang was about winning soldiers and soldiers' lives... so Li Guang often allowed his subordinates to plunder border areas.
"Feng Li does have this ability." Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan, "I haven't had a title yet, maybe I can become a county prince?"
Li Yuan nodded, "That's right. Where is Xue Wanche?"
"Your Majesty will be arbitrary." Li Shan said sternly: "Xue Wanche is brave in fighting, but he is domineering and has defeated the Turks several times. He is proud of this. In future wars, he will not be able to win a big victory, or he will be defeated."
Li Shimin nodded in agreement, "Xue Wanche is similar to his brother Xue Wanjun, and he is suspected of rashly advancing."
Li Shan looked at Prince Li Jiancheng, "The current history of Xia Governor is..."
"The prince washes his horse, Xiao Deyan."
Li Shan's attitude is here. Xue Wanche is a brave general, but a bit restless. To put it bluntly, if he conquers the Turks in the future, he will be of great use, but if the Turks attack, he may not be able to stabilize his position.
Li Yuan turned to look at Li Jiancheng and said, "The title will be decided by the Ministry of Rites later."
"yes."
Pei Shiju glanced at Li Jiancheng, who looked slightly excited, and sneered in his heart. Xue Wanche became the Duke of the Kingdom. It seemed that His Majesty wanted to protect the East Palace, but in fact, he was more concerned about Xue Wanche guarding Xiazhou.
Even Pei Shiju, who had a dark heart, speculated whether Li Yuan was using a delaying strategy... Li Jiancheng naively thought that he still had hope, but Pei Shiju had no such extravagant hope.
After that, Li Shan successively named several generals from the Donggong line, such as Prince Qianniu Li Zhian, who was accompanied by Zuo Wuwei and Youlang. However, although these generals had meritorious service, they were only promoted in rank and title. There's no need to think about it... Li Yuan originally wanted to control the title.
After finishing speaking in the East Palace, they naturally turned to the side of the King of Qin. In fact, Li Shan led the army to the expedition last year. Although many generals from the King of Qin's lineage were mobilized, not many of them were actually used on the edge of the sword... For example, Kang Guo Gong Shi Da Nai is an example, he is basically a soy sauce person.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Zheng Rentai, Qin Shubao, Zhang Cong and other close generals of the King of Qin did not go out with the army, so the first thing Li Shan mentioned was that he had a quarrel with Yuchi Gong yesterday and was then killed by Liu Heer Duan Zhixuan was dizzy after falling.
"Duan Zhixuan has a frivolous temperament and is difficult to serve as a general." Li Shan first suppressed and then raised his voice, "But his first assistant, Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang, led the cavalry, broke the formation sharply, and was fearless of death. He captured the flag of Dubu Khan from the rebel army, and later He killed more than ten Liang Jun generals in the Helan Campaign, so he deserves to be promoted to the nobility."
Li Yuan immediately nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Master Yan mentioned the day before yesterday that he wanted to thank Huairen."
After returning to Beijing the year before last, Duan Yanshi's attitude towards Li Shan has changed again and again. At first, he used his friendship with Li Yuan's old friend to gossip about Li Shan, but after the battle at Tiantai Mountain, his attitude changed fundamentally. The change.
After the great victory in Jingzhou last year, Li Shan ordered Duan Zhixuan to pour wine for all the generals at the celebration banquet. Duan Yanshi not only did not get angry, but instead joked about it in front of Li Yuan... This son of his has been restless since he was a child. The boss can control it.
"The county magistrate..." Li Yuan pondered for a moment, "Please enter the county magistrate's title and leave it for another day."
This is natural. After all, Duan Yanshi is now the Duke of Yidu County. Under normal circumstances, his son cannot surpass the county Duke and become a County Duke.
It is also for this reason that after the three defeats of the Turks the year before last, Li Kai was granted the title of Marquis of Sanyuan County. After the battle in Tiantai Mountain last year, Li Keshi, who actually had no outstanding performance, was also granted the title of Marquis of County.
While Li Shan was thinking about this, Li Yuan asked Li Keshi.
"Occasionally, there are small merits." Li Shan hesitated and said with a smile: "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty, I have selfish motives."
Chen Shuda nodded and said: "When Huairen first arrived in Chang'an, Master Li Ke and his son turned over... I remember Huairen mentioned that during the Shandong war, the guards and commanders around him were all generals of the Li family."
"Guo Pu." Li Shan said with a smile, "I will also go out with the army this time."
Li Yuan and Li Shimin both knew that in terms of ability, compared with Li Yaoshi, Li Keshi was relatively mediocre. He was more famous for his riding and shooting skills... he was a "bird thief" after all.
Therefore, when Li Shan was arranging his troops, he refused to use Li Keshi in the more dangerous positions. On the one hand, it was because of his ability, and on the other hand, he was mainly afraid that Li Keshi would die in battle... Of course, in this way, , Master Li will not be able to gain much military exploits.
Li Yuan thought about it for a moment, "After all, Li Keshi led his light cavalry to chase away, and his assistants defeated Liang's army outside Tongwan City. They should be the Duke of Jue County."
This may be due to Li Keshi's identity...the younger brother of Dai Guogong Li Jing, his close relationship with Li Shan, and the brother-in-law of Qin King Li Shimin.
The King of Qin's lineage did not get much apparent benefit from this war... Among the others, Zhang Shigui was basically just a soy sauce in the battle of Jingzhou, no more than Xue Wanche who charged into the battle, and Guo Xiaoke made a fuss because he wrote a letter to impeach Li Shan. joke.
However, there were many private benefits. Zhang Shigui became the governor of Yuanzhou, Guo Xiaoke was transferred to the general manager of Lingzhou, and Li Mengchang was appointed the general manager of Longzhou, allowing the Qin king's lineage to firmly control the west side of Guanzhong.
