From the beginning to the end, several other prime ministers and assistants spoke a few words, but Pei Shiju remained silent. He only occasionally looked at Li Shan and couldn't help snorting when he heard these words.
Who was that little brat who claimed that he was not good at charming people? You, Li Huairen, are so shameless!
With these words, he not only allowed himself to take a step back, showing that he had no intention of going to the battlefield again, but at the same time pushed Su Dingfang out, showing his open mind... Even an old man like His Majesty, who had endured the Sui Dynasty for decades, could not stand it. I was coaxed to smile!
"Although Liu Hongji is guarding the Lingshi, it is obvious that the Turks have the intention to go south." Li Yuan said loudly: "Withdraw the Hedong March Army General Mansion and set up the Hedong March Army Marshal's Mansion. Erlang will be the chief general, and the deputy general will be selected by Erlang. Erlang chooses and sets off tomorrow."
"Yes." Li Shimin stood up and responded, "We have Qu Tutong, Duke of Jiang, the Minister of Punishment, as the deputy, Ling Jing, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, as the chief historian, and Yu Zhining, the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, takes care of the food, grass and luggage."
It was difficult for Qu Tutong to assume the heavy responsibility of the chief general, but he still had no problem with being a deputy general. In fact, when Li Shimin was fighting in the north and south, Qu Tutong and Yin Kaishan were always his deputy generals.
Ling Jing was chosen, on the one hand, because Ling Jing was much better at military strategy than other staff members of the King of Qin's lineage. The person who previously assumed this role was Xue Shou, but unfortunately he died of illness last year. On the other hand, Ling Jing also had the successor of Wei. Li Huairen's background, otherwise it should be Han Liang. When he attacked Liu Heita, the long history was Han Liang.
Yu Zhining was even more experienced in managing grain and baggage. When Li Shimin conquered Hedong a few years ago, it was Yu Zhining who took care of grain and fodder for him. Later, he went to Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province to serve as Shangshu Zuocheng, but he also shouldered the expenses.
Li Yuan stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, while Li Shan grinned quietly, thinking that Li Shimin was also a charming person. These three people all had part-time jobs in Tiance Mansion, but Li Shimin only talked about their positions in the court.
"In addition to the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an, Qian Jiulong, the general manager of Jingzhou, was transferred to accompany the army, and his father was asked to transfer Wei Yunqi, the governor of Ningzhou, to temporarily move to Jingzhou."
Li Yuan agreed, and specifically nodded to Li Shan, "Huairen still has brave generals under his command, so we must not be stingy."
Li Shan felt a little aggrieved and glanced at Li Shimin, "Please give me your instructions, King Qin."
In fact, Li Shimin, the relevant candidate for general counselor, had already discussed it with Li Shan, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui last night.
"Father, Huo Guogong stayed in Chang'an to guard the palace city and take charge of the palace confinement. However, Li Keshi and Zhang Cong from the Bei Ya Forbidden Army are with the army." Li Shimin said, "Please ask father to arrange Qu Hong to join the Bei Ya Forbidden Army."
Qu Hong is Qu Silang. He is now the leader of Li Shan's bodyguard after Liu Hei'er and Wang Junhao. Originally there was also Qi Sanlang, but he was seriously injured in the battle at Renzhi Palace. Although his life was intact after a few months, he was still alive. Not recovered yet.
The Beiya Forbidden Army is headed by Huo Guogong Chai Shao, who has the power of restraint. The following are four generals. The right prison guard general was Luo Yi, and is now Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong. The left prison guard general has always been Su Dingfang, and the right Qianniu guard general is General Wei was Dou Gui, General Zuo Qianniu was originally Zhang Jin, but he died of serious injuries in the Renzhi Palace incident, and was later succeeded by Xiao Guogong Zhang Pinggao.
However, the four generals all had empty posts and did not pay attention to matters. Li Xiaogong never paid attention to matters. Dou Gui was now the right servant of Shangshu Province. Su Dingfang did not pay attention to matters because Zhang Zhongjian of the same background was in charge of the Lingzhou Army. Only Zhang Pinggao occasionally Go to Yamen.
The following eight generals are the ones with real power, but the left guard generals Zhang Zhongjian and Feng Li, the left Qianniu guard general Hou Hongtao, the right Qianniu guard general Kan Ling are all in the Lingzhou army, and the right Qianniu guard general Li Keshi , Zuo Qianniuwei general Zhang Cong will accompany Li Shimin on the expedition this time.
Of the eight generals, only General Ma Sanbao, the guard of the right prison, and Wang Junkuo, the guard of the right prison, stayed in Chang'an... Li Shimin just mentioned Zhang Cong and Li Keshi, but did not bring Wang Junkuo with him.
Therefore, Li Shimin had the intention to strengthen the Beiya Imperial Guards, but the recommendation was not his own generals, but Qu Hong, who was one of Li Huairen's personal guards.
Li Yuan pondered for a moment, glanced sideways at Li Shan, smiled and nodded in agreement.
Li Shimin was convinced that Ma Sanbao was Chai Shao's slave and had followed Princess Pingyang for many years. He was also Li Shan's old subordinate. Wang Junkuo and Qu Hong were both of his own lineage, which was enough to protect the imperial city.
Li Shimin did not describe the other positions in detail one by one, but Li Yuan also knew that all the gifts from the Tiance Mansion must be taken away. After all, although the Qin King's lineage has begun to get involved in the court, there are not many in high positions. There are only Yuwenshi, the minister of Zhongshu, and Xue Yuanjing, the minister of Huangmen. Taking the others away will not have much impact.
In fact, Li Shimin took away almost all the talents of Tiance Mansion, leaving behind either Yan Lide, Li Shousu, Gai Wenda, Xu Jingzong, Kong Yingda and other literary bachelors. These people were of little use in the army and did not participate. In the core plot to seize the right to inherit the throne.
In addition, there are several people such as Su Shichang, Wei Lun, and Li Xuandao who are preparing to assist Yuchi Gong, who is about to lead his troops back to Beijing to defend Chang'an.
The other generals and staff basically accompanied Li Shimin on the expedition.
Of course, Li Shimin also had backup, such as Wang Junkuo, who was placed in the Beiya Forbidden Army. Of course, the person who had the most high hopes and entrusted him with the important task was naturally Li Shan. This is why Li Shimin requested that Qu Hong be transferred to the Beiya Forbidden Army. s reason.
However, Li Shimin didn't think that given the current situation, what else could Dong Palace do, and his father might not be able to see the relationship between him and Li Shan, but the prince still didn't know anything about it, which could only mean that he was a fool.
The general has been chosen, and the war in Hedong is urgent. Relevant orders are flying like snowflakes, and the whole of Chang'an seems to be in motion. After the great victory at Luoshui in the early fifth year of Wude, Qin King Li Shimin once again led the army to go on an expedition, which quickly stabilized the floating people. .
Li Shan didn't care about these things, and couldn't control them. The other prime ministers and assistants had gone to work. Li Yuan specially kept him here, and the emperor and his ministers moved to Linhu Palace.
"Let Erlang do his work." Li Yuan said with a hint of self-mockery, "Erlang is far better than me in military strategy."
With such a son, Li Yuan really couldn't enjoy the pleasure of being a father.
"Back then, His Majesty also leapt on horseback and showed off his power beyond the Great Wall. Your Highness, King Qin, was not born to know this." Li Shan thought about it in his mind before speaking, "As the saying goes, the young are better than the blue."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, patted Li Shan on the shoulder and said, "Huairen is very considerate."
It is acknowledged that Li Shimin is superior to Li Yuan in terms of military capabilities... This is actually a generally recognized fact, and Li Yuan himself admits it, but at the same time he points out that Li Shimin was also brought up by Li Yuan.
After chatting for a while, Li Yuan let Li Shan leave. Before leaving, he said with a smile: "I am old. Erlang has the image of a wise king. Huairen should be close to him."
Li Shan was a little nervous. He didn't know if Li Yuan had seen some clues or had good intentions to make friends with Li Shimin. He could only say vaguely: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is tolerant of others."
