As soon as the formal discussion began, Li Shimin once again sighed in his heart. It was said that Li Shan had unparalleled friendship and loyalty, and it was indeed true. Because his bodyguards around him were lost and the whole village was in vain, he still deeply hated Li Jing and promised that he would never forget it in his life... even if he and Li Jing were together. Everyone else in Li's Danyang House in Longxi is good friends with them, and they are even close friends.
Li Shimin also knew that it was difficult for Li Jing and Li Shan to join hands in this life. This was a tacit political understanding, but it was undeniable that most of what Li Jing showed was attitude, while most of what Li Shan expressed was emotion.
They seem similar, but in fact they are quite different.
After the dust settled on Yang Wenqian's rebellion, Li Shan interceded for Wei Zheng, Li Qianyou, and Xue Wanche, and today he interceded for Feng Li in a tactful tone... Li Shimin knew that Li Shan and Feng Li were not as friendly as he was with Wei Zheng. Deep, unlike Li Qianyou who was a family friend, nor like Xue Wanche who had fought side by side in bloody battles, Feng Li only served as a general under Li Shan last year.
Li Shan appreciated Feng Li's talent, and even more appreciated Feng Li's two aids to Zhi Zhixuan in the Jingzhou victory. Although he did not say it out loud, he obviously did not want Feng Li to be directly involved in the upcoming final battle for the inheritance. That's why Feng Li was specifically asked to transfer to the Lingzhou Army.
Li Shimin is self-righteous, and this is also aimed at the East Palace... Without Xue Wanche, without Feng Li, Li Gaoqian was dismissed, Luo Yi was expelled from the capital, I don't believe Pei Shiju still has any curses!
In addition, the Lingzhou Army will also be supplemented by generals who participated in several battles in Jingzhou, Yuanzhou, and Lingzhou last year. Kangguo Gong Shi Danai and Guzang County Duke Duan Zhixuan are all old generals. In addition, Youwuwei General Hou Junji will also join the Lingzhou Army. Joined the Lingzhou Army.
Li Shan calculated in his mind that Luoyang had already mobilized general troops to go north, led by Qu Tutong. Chang'an was not short of manpower. Although Yuchi Gong wanted to join the Yanzhou Army, there were still Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Huang Junhan, Wang Junkuo, Qiu Xinggong and other generals, and there are even more middle and lower-level generals.
"By the way, Duke Li Yaoshi wrote a letter a few days ago, asking the Duke of Bishui County to be transferred to Yanzhou Road." Li Shimin said softly: "The younger brother of the King of Rencheng even wrote a letter to complain."
"Mr. Bishui County?" Li Shan was stunned for a moment before reacting. He couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Pharmacist Li, Pharmacist Li!"
Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh, "Outside Guji Town, the battle in Jingzhou, then the great victory in Lingzhou, and the capture of Liang Shidu alive..."
The so-called Duke of Bishui County is Zhang Baoxiang. Now, because of Li Shan's several praises, this man is very famous in Chang'an and is called the "Fujiang".
There were so many small groups of remnant troops outside Guji Town, but Zhang Baoxiang bit Jieli Khan. In the battle of Jingzhou, Tuli Khan hid well, and when he showed his face, he ran into Zhang Baoxiang again. Even if Dou Gui was outside Tongwan City They got a bargain, but Master Liang fled far away to Yulin, but Zhang Baoxiang bit him and was captured alive.
Li Jing specially transferred Zhang Baoxiang to Yanzhou Road, presumably because he wanted to make a difference... However, both Li Shan and Li Shimin knew that, in fact, Li Jing also knew that the possibility of the Turks attacking Yanzhou was low. On the one hand, it was because of the Great Wall. Blocking, on the other hand, is due to the unfavorable terrain.
Although Yulin, the so-called Hetao area, is convenient for cavalry to move around, it is different when it comes to Yanzhou, Yinzhou, and Suizhou areas. The terrain is more conducive to infantry, and to be honest in these places... there is nothing to grab, Liang Shidu It's really not good at managing local areas.
The main attack areas of the Turks may still be Daizhou and Lingzhou. Although Daizhou has Yanmen Pass, Shuozhou is outside Yanmen Pass. It is difficult to defeat Yuanzhou guarded by Zhang Shigui when attacking Lingzhou, but they can also plunder Lingzhou and Huizhou. Prefecture and parts of Yanzhou area.
It's hard to say on the Longyou Road side. The main confrontation there was between the Nine Tribes of Tiele...which would later become the Xue Yantuo Empire.
Li Shan thought about it in his mind, "Does Hedong need to transfer generals from Chang'an to make up for it?"
"That's natural." Li Shimin nodded and said: "Liu Shirang and Li Shiji are guarding Shuozhou, and brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun...if they don't leave the fortress, it will be difficult to be of great use. And Qin Wutong was seriously injured that year, so it will be difficult to take charge of the overall situation."
Chai Shao on the side nodded slightly, "If the Turks invade Daizhou, Yanmen Pass needs a new general to take charge. Do you need to advise Your Majesty to be appointed as the marching commander of the East Road of the City King River?"
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, but he was not afraid of Li Daozong defecting to the East Palace. Although this cousin was not involved in seizing the direct descendants, he had been under his command for a long time. He was deeply involved in the battle, fighting side by side.
It's just that this time he got his father's permission to join the Daizhou, Yanzhou, and Lingzhou armies with his cronies, and then asked Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng who was close to him, to be the general manager of the march to the east of the river. He was afraid that his father would feel that he didn't know how to advance or retreat... Du Ruhui , Ling Jing have all reminded that the former Sui Prince Yang Yong was deposed, firstly because of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, and secondly because he did not know how to advance or retreat and his holy heart was unswerving.
Under the current situation, Li Shimin does not want to see a rift between himself and his father.
In a word, Li Shimin is a person who strives for perfection in every aspect.
Chai Shao may not have understood, but he didn't say anything, and Li Shan vaguely understood the meaning and suggested in a low voice: "Qin Wutong is an old man and is prudent. Why don't your highness mobilize his trusted generals to join Daizhou to help him."
Li Shimin nodded slightly and thought about it in his mind, "It's a pity. The original recipe was the most suitable."
Su Dingfang didn't say anything. Although he didn't understand, Ling Jing once mentioned in private that you would have no chance until the relationship between Li Shan and the King of Qin was revealed.
Li Shimin glanced at Chai Shao, "How is Mr. Han?"
"Korean Duke?" Li Shan was a little confused. He seemed to have never heard of this title. Who is this?
Chai Shao thought for a while, "Pang Gong was a famous general in the Sui Dynasty. He was brave and powerful, and he knew military law. In his early years, he served as the leader of the Zuo army and the general of Zuo Wuwei. He was a model for all generals and presided over the wars of the land. It was indeed appropriate... But Pang Gong was not old enough. It’s too small.”
Li Shimin counted on his fingers, "Already fifty-six, but this time he entered Beijing, he is still tall and tall."
Chai Shao saw that Li Shan didn't know anything about it, so he briefly explained that the so-called Korean Duke was Pang Yu. He was a general in Luoyang in the late Sui Dynasty and was a subordinate of Wang Shichong. Later Wang Shichong usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Pang Yu and Huangfu Wuyi surrendered together. The Tang Dynasty, and all attached to Li Shimin, had made great contributions in the battle of Qianshuiyuan.
At that time, Xue Rengao's general Zong Luohu attacked with several times the force, but Pang Yu led his troops to resist desperately, and persisted until Li Shimin led his troops to defeat the enemy in a flank attack... It shows that Pang Yu's general ability can be entrusted to Li Shimin with such an important task.
Li Shan muttered in his heart that this name had no impression at all in the history books, but it seemed to have appeared in "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".
