After finishing talking about the camps of the Prince and King of Qin, Li Shan began to push out those generals who had a certain relationship with him, but who were also direct descendants of Li Yuan.
"Yang Ze, who was transferred to the governor of Suizhou, previously guarded Huating, and then sent troops to the southwest of Yuanzhou to defend several passes. He was quite strategic." "Although he did not participate in several battles, he still made meritorious deeds."
"The former Ningzhou general manager Hu Yan and Hu Zhong were transferred to Yinzhou general manager. In the battle of Jingzhou, he was brave enough not to let Xue Wanche give way. He rushed into battle better than Duan Zhixuan. He was very capable."
Li Shan was a little regretful. With Hu Yan's ability, he should have been knighted long ago... It is unimaginable that in the past few years, the county men in Chang'an City were not as good as dogs, and Hu Yan could not get a knighthood.
"Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou, although he was defeated in Lingzhou, he also made great achievements in the battle of Yuanzhou, but..."
After Duan Decao was exchanged as a prisoner, he was retained by Li Shan and made great contributions during the night attack on Xiaoguan. Later, Su Dingfang let him lead an army alone, defeating Liang Jun three times in Lingzhou and Yanzhou, and gained a lot.
However, despite the fact that he had an unknown commander named Li Shenfu, Duan Decao was defeated and captured after all, and was reinstated as the general manager of Yanzhou, and he also had the title of Pingyuan County Duke... There was no need to think about being promoted.
"Qian Jiulong, the governor of Jingzhou, managed the rear army in the battle of Jingzhou and was also in charge of the central army. He is also capable of many aspects."
Qian Jiulong was promoted to the rank of Duke of Changxing County and served as the governor of Jingzhou after the First World War in Tiantai Mountain. Although he did not make much contribution after that, and even returned to Jingzhou during the war in Yuanzhou, Li Shan also deliberately included him in his list.
After the last incident of fake selection of Cao Qigui, this time everyone can understand Li Shan's operation...it is nothing more than to please His Majesty.
Yang Ze and Hu Yan were slightly better. Although they were also old men who raised troops in Jinyang, Li Yuan, their status was not high after all. Qian Jiulong was different from Duan Decao.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan secretly made friends with heroes. Duan Decao was one of the first to seek refuge with Li Yuan, and his relationship was extraordinary. Qian Jiulong, who had been convicted of a crime in the Sui Dynasty but was not a slave, served Li Yuan for a long time because he was good at riding and shooting and leading his guards.
Li Yuan was obviously very satisfied with Li Shan's comments. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Hu Zhong was promoted to Duke of Jue County, and Yang Ze was promoted to Marquis of Jue County. Duan Decao and Qian Jiulong were given a royal horse and two brocade horses."
Hearing this, Pei Shiju, who was in the presence of the old god, raised his head and glanced at Li Shan. He remembered that two years ago, this guy claimed that he was not good at charming people... But judging from his methods, he could carefully observe his intentions. He was truly a lucky minister!
In addition to these people, Li Shan also named Ma Sanbao and Kan Ling. The former was a member of Princess Pingyang. Although he did not make any great achievements in the war, he was still conscientious in his work. Li Yuanxu Jinjue County Duke.
But Kan Ling is a bit special, Du Fuwei's adopted son... It can be said that this is recognized by the court as the only general who was not promoted by Li Shan but relied on Li Shan.
After entering the Tang Dynasty, Kan Lingneng participated in the Western Expedition to Tuyuhun, defended Yanmen, and defeated the Turks three times. Then he went on this expedition with the army and made great achievements with the Modao Team. There is a shadow of Li Shan behind him.
Li Yuan did not hesitate. Kan Ling was originally the Duke of Linji County and the Duke of Jinjue County.
Seeing that Li Shan stopped talking, Li Yuan smiled and asked, "Why does Huairen hesitate to speak?"
"Father, it's better to boast." Prince Li Jiancheng said with a smile, "There are many heroes under Huairen's sect, and their generals are not weaker than those of my second brother."
Li Shimin looked indifferent and sneered in his heart, but said nothing.
Li Yuan doesn't care. Indeed, there are many people gathered around Li Shan now. They all followed him from Shandong and Hebei, from Shuozhou to Yunzhou, and from Jingzhou to Yuanzhou. Their loyalty to Li Shan is by no means weaker than The loyalty of the officials of Tiance Mansion to Li Shimin.
Not to mention other things, Li Shimin mentioned to Li Yuan in private that among himself, Li Jing, and Li Huairen, in terms of general talents, Su Dingfang was the first, and then Zhang Shigui, Li Shiji, and Yu Chigong took their turn, and Zhang Zhongjian could also be included among them. .
Such a force, if placed in the Song and Ming Dynasties, would definitely attract people's attention and even shake the imperial power. However, in the Tang Dynasty, it could not, and it might be ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
The reason is also very simple. Not to mention these prime ministers and assistants who are from aristocratic families, even representatives of imperial power such as Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have to admit that this is an era when aristocratic families are becoming more and more popular in the world.
Therefore, whether it is Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, or Li Shimin, most of the people who are re-employed are outstanding people from aristocratic families. This forms the basis of their political power and their basic base.
Most of the so-called heroes around Li Shan came from the grassroots, even Su Dingfang and Wang Junhao. Their parents were just local tycoons. Even Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who were recognized as having a slightly lower background in Prince Qin's palace, were No... No matter what you say, my father and grandfather were also serious officials.
Following Su Dingfang, Fan Shiyi, Qi Laosan, Qu Silang, and Zhang Zhongjian, who were heavily employed by Li Shan, were all from grassland backgrounds. Although Liu Hei'er had some reputation on the grassland, he had nothing to do with the aristocratic family.
Therefore, Li Shan himself was considered a force in the court and the army, and was valued, but he did not violate taboos.
Li Yuan picked up a memorial from the case, "After the Battle of Jingzhou, Jiang Guogong comforted the army. After returning to Beijing, he submitted a report to the general who had made meritorious service. Wen Yanbo later reported the battle of Yuanzhou and the great victory of Helan."
"Su Dingfang..."
Li Shimin, who was below, continued: "After Huairen returned to Beijing, Zhao Guogong led the army alone and defeated the main force of the Liang Army. In the future, he will be able to fight against the Turks."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. He and Li Shimin had discussed Li Shan's strategy of destroying the Turks many times in private. If the army were divided into five groups to attack, no matter how they were chosen, Li Jing, Duke of Dai, and Su Dingfang, Duke of Zhao, would definitely be the commanders of the first army. These two people were also sure Those who want to stay and make achievements before entering Lingyan Pavilion.
Besides, Su Dingfang was already the Duke of the country and could not be promoted to a noble title. Li Yuan had obviously considered it for a long time and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Rites will draft a title and give his mother and his wife the title."
"yes."
Li Yuan lowered his head and looked at the list, "Zhang Zhongjian, the Duke of Weiyang County, made great achievements in Jingzhou, Yuanzhou and Lingzhou, and was promoted to the title of Duke."
"The remaining ones, Qu Hong and Hou Hongtao, were each promoted to the first rank, while Qi Biantao, Fan Jiqing and Liu Heer were promoted to the rank of county magistrate."
Li Shan, who quietly retreated and sat at the back, listened to the ensuing awards to ordinary generals and soldiers, thinking that no matter how many times Li Yuan had tricked him, he was really not that kind of mean and ungrateful monarch.
Now, beside Li Shan, there is a prince, a county prince, three county princes, and five county princes. Although most of them are hiding in the Sun Moon Lake with him, they are indeed a force that cannot be ignored.
Not long after, the discussion in Liangyi Hall ended, and everyone got up and left one after another. Li Shan hesitated whether to go back to Zhuangzi or go to Sinong Temple.
The day before yesterday, He Lou Xingshu, who Li Yuan arranged to stay at Sinong Temple early last year, mentioned to Hou Hongtao, the guard stationed at Zhuque Gate, that the two young ministers at Sinong Temple seemed to be very panicked recently.
Li Shan had already connected Zhao Wenkai, Rong Jiusi, Qi Wang, Feng Lun, and Yang Wenqian. After hearing the news, he wanted to find out more.
At this time, Pei Shiju's voice came from beside him, "I'm a little tired today..."
Li Shan glanced sideways, and after a moment of silence he smiled, "How about I send Mr. Pei home to rest?"
"Then please trouble Your Highness."
