When Li Yuanji introduced Su Dingfang, he specially said a few words in order to prevent Xie Shufang from underestimating Su Dingfang.
He didn't mention Su Dingfang's past, and he couldn't say anything about Su Dingfang's future achievements. He could only talk about Su Dingfang's performance in Mingshui City.
Although he threw the heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun to Yuchi Gong, when he led his troops to leave Mingzhou and entered Xingzhou, Qu Tutong sent someone to send the heads back.
Not only that, but it’s super doubled and comes with eight extra pills.
Qu Tutong also sent someone to deliver a letter, in which he said that among the eight heads, some were to help Yuchi Gong apologize, and some were to reward him for discovering that Xu Yuanlang would make a sneak attack.
Qu Tutong did not say in the letter how many pills he would give as an apology and how many pills his reward would be.
Although when Qu Tutong sent the news of Xu Yuanlang's sneak attack to Li Shimin, Xu Yuanlang had already completed the sneak attack and Liu Heitai had also run away.
But when he told Qu Tutong the news, Xu Yuanlang had not yet made a sneak attack.
He could just pretend to know nothing and say nothing.
But he said it was a favor.
Li Shimin must remember and read.
Li Shimin obviously didn't want to keep owing him a favor, so he immediately returned the favor with a few more heads.
Li Shimin was so generous, so he could only accept it with a smile.
After taking the benefits given by Li Shimin, he and Yu Chigong would be able to argue with each other, and that would be the end of his favor with Li Shimin.
As for how Yu Chigong clears his name, that has nothing to do with him.
The benefits given by Li Shimin were not enough for him to come forward to clear Yuchi Gong's name.
The heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun returned to his hand, and there were a few more. Naturally, he added the heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun to Su Dingfang's head without hesitation.
When Su Dingfang first joined the Tang Dynasty, with the heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun beside him, no one would make any excuses for his status as a reduced general.
When Li Yuan's reward arrives, Su Dingfang will be a serious Tang general.
"When you first joined His Highness, you killed Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun?"
Xie Shufang looked at Su Dingfang with surprise and asked.
Su Dingfang nodded without hesitation.
He had chopped off the heads of Zhou Wenju and Cui Yuanxun with his own hands, and now it was on his head again. He had nothing to hide.
Xie Shufang nodded slowly, "Then you're not bad..."
Xie Shufang recognized Su Dingfang.
Although Su Dingfang's joining made him feel a little bit disturbed, he did not feel jealous of the talented people.
He was well aware of Li Yuanji's current situation, and also knew that Li Yuanji urgently hoped that Prince Qi's Palace would grow rapidly.
Su Ding was able to join Prince Qi's Mansion. He was happy for Li Yuanji and also happy for Li Yuanji.
As for the waves in his heart, they were just waves, and they only existed in his heart for a moment.
He felt more of a sense of crisis.
Li Yuanji obviously trusted Su Dingfang very much. If Su Dingfang was allowed to come from behind, it would be difficult for him to work under Li Yuanji.
When Su Dingfang heard Xie Shufang's praise, he said humbly: "The Marquis of Pingyao praised me very much."
Xie Shufang said generously: "You and I are both His Highness's subordinates, and we will be colleagues from now on. Calling me Marquis of Pingyao seems too unfamiliar. If you want to think highly of me, just call me Brother Xie."

Xie Shufang behaved appropriately and gave Su Ding enough face.
Su Dingfang felt that Xie Shufang was a nice person, and he did not make any detours with Xie Shufang. He raised his hands and said, "You think highly of me and are willing to treat me like a brother. If you don't dislike me, I will call you Brother Xie from now on."
Xie Shufang laughed, "Brother Su?"
Su Dingfang smiled and said, "Thank you, brother?"
The two looked at each other and were both happy.
Li Yuanji saw that Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang did not have any estrangement. On the contrary, they got along very happily, with a smile on his face.
What he fears most is that there will be some estrangement between Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang, and they will dislike each other. In the end, not only will they not be able to help each other, but they will actually hinder each other.
"I'll leave it to you two to discuss with Li Zhongwen how to allocate troops."
After Li Yuanji discussed with each other for Su Dingfang and Xie Shufang, he got down to business again.
Su Dingfang and Uncle Xie both stopped smiling.
Su Dingfang bowed and agreed.
However, Xie Shufang pondered and said: "Your Highness, Li Zhongwen is very loyal to Her Highness the Princess, and I'm afraid he won't let us interfere with the defenses arranged by Her Highness the Princess."
Xie Shufang has been at Weize Pass for more than a month and has some understanding of Li Xiuning and the generals under Li Xiuning's command.
Among the generals under Li Xiuning, He Panren was the most tactful, Li Zhongwen was the most stubborn, Xiang Shanren had no ideas, and Qiu Shili was the most difficult to figure out.
It’s not that Qiu Shili is a wealthy person, but Qiu Shili doesn’t like to talk much, so it’s hard for you to know what he’s thinking.
"If he doesn't let us intervene, we won't intervene? Does he have the final say in Weize Pass, or do we?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Xie Shufang and said angrily.
When Li Xiuning was here, he gave Li Xiuning face, so he followed Li Xiuning's instructions in everything.
With Li Xiuning gone, there was no one in Weize Pass who needed him to give face. He just dispatched his soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense of Weize Pass. He did not disrupt Li Xiuning's deployment or rearrangement. He also
There is no need to look at Li Zhongwen's face.
Xie Shufang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid Li Zhongwen will come to you and make trouble."
Li Yuanji glanced at Xie Shufang and said, "If he dares to make trouble, just ask him if he has the ability to hold off the Turks' 200,000-strong army without our help.
If he dares to say that he has that ability, I will immediately lead my troops to withdraw from Weize Pass, camp outside the pass, and hand over all of Weize Pass to him."
Xie Shufang opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Li Zhongwen definitely doesn't have that ability.
If Li Zhongwen had that ability, Li Xiuning wouldn't have to work so hard to guard Weize Pass.
Li Shimin did not need to let Li Yuanji lead his troops to Weize Pass to take charge.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But if Li Yuanji and Li Zhongwen have a quarrel, it may be a little difficult for Li Yuanji to do something in Weize Pass in the future.
After all, Weizeguan is Li Xiuning's territory and also Li Zhongwen's territory.
Li Zhongwen is like a local snake in Weizeguan.
Li Yuanji is the dragon crossing the river.
Although Li Yuanji is very strong, he can still suppress the local snake like Li Zhongwen, but if Li Zhongwen resists, Li Yuanji will suffer more or less.
Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in Weize Pass were nominally soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they were bound by the military orders of the Tang Dynasty.
But they were actually only loyal to Li Xiuning and only obeyed Li Xiuning's restraints and military orders.
When there is a conflict between Datang's military orders and Li Xiuning's military orders, they will definitely choose to follow Li Xiuning's orders without hesitation.
If Li Xiuning had given Li Zhongwen a military order to confront Li Yuanji, Li Zhongwen would definitely dare to confront Li Yuanji.
"I believe General Li will not make things difficult for us."
Su Dingfang said confidently.
If Li Zhongwen doesn't accept it, just have a fight.
According to military rules, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.
Whether it was a competition of martial arts or strategy, he didn't think he would lose to Li Zhongwen.
Li Yuanji nodded in agreement. His thoughts were similar to Su Dingfang's.
If Li Zhongwen doesn't accept it, just have a fight.
Who wins and who decides in Weize Pass.
"Go down and distribute your troops."
Li Yuanji ordered.
Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang bowed slightly and exited the room.
After they left, Li Yuanji simply stretched his muscles, found the residence Li Xiuning had prepared for him in advance, and fell asleep.
Li Yuanji did not shamelessly occupy the resting place of the owner of the house.
Li Xiuning has lived in the house for four years, and the house has almost become her other home.
Li Yuanji ran to occupy the resting place of the owner of the house. Can Li Xiuning feel happy?
…
A night of silence.
The next day.
The sky is just getting slightly brighter.
Xie Shufang rushed over to report that the soldiers from the Left and Left Army Commands had been dispatched. Although Li Zhongwen had some complaints, he pinched his nose and admitted it after seeing that they had not adjusted the defense of Weize Pass.
On the other hand, the soldiers at Weize Pass were a bit at odds with the soldiers from Prince Qi's Mansion. They felt that the soldiers from Prince Qi's Mansion ran to help them guard the pass because they couldn't trust them. Their words were a bit extreme and they almost had a conflict.
However, with the mediation of Xie Shufang and Li Zhongwen, a temporary settlement was reached.
I don't know if there will be any conflicts later.
"The soldiers at Weize Pass are a bit arrogant."
After listening to Xie Shufang's story, Li Yuanji looked filled with emotion.
Xie Shufang smiled bitterly and said: "It's not necessarily pride, maybe it's anger."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and understood what Xie Shufang meant by 'qi'.
"resentment?"
"Um."
Li Yuanji took a long breath and said quietly: "Then let them go."
It is normal for the soldiers at Weizeguan to feel resentful.
In the past, they helped Li Yuan capture the city of Chang'an and made great contributions to Li Tang. However, Li Yuan did not reuse them. Instead, he transferred them to Weize Pass and sat on the bench.
There must be resentment in their stomachs.
They may not only be resentful because of what happened to themselves, but also because of what happened to Li Xiuning.
If he was in a different place, Li Yuanji felt that he would also be resentful.
After all, he had made great contributions to Li Tang, and if Li Yuan didn't pay attention to him and let him sit on the bench, he would definitely blame Li Yuan.
"Where's Su Dingfang?"
Li Yuanji looked at Xie Shufang and asked.
Xie Shufang bowed and said: "Before dawn, I took the craftsmen accompanying the army to the forge in the pass."
Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully.
Xie Shufang and Su Dingfang should have done some division of labor. One of them went to dispatch troops overnight, and the other quickly took the craftsmen accompanying the army to the forging workshop in the pass to help.
Whether it is the matter of dispatching troops and horses or forging soldiers and armor, they are top priorities and cannot be delayed.
