Li Shenfu, who was sitting high on the throne, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Turkic southern invaders only use Mayi as their route."
"Place a wise and courageous general in Guocheng, store up a lot of gold and silk, and give generous rewards to those who come to surrender. Send out a number of strange soldiers to attack the city, trample the crops, and destroy their livelihood. He will have no food for more than a year.
Mayi is not worth the money."
Li Gaoqian, who was at the bottom, was confused at first, but he quickly realized it and said with a smile: "This old man is just making people laugh."
Li Shenfu shook his head slightly, "Li Huairen is quite capable and strategic..."
Although Li Shenfu and Liu Shirang did not get along, he could still see that the other party's plan was likely to succeed. He was pleased to see that although Li Shan had different methods, he perfectly achieved the purpose of Liu Shirang's plan, and even Liu Shirangda
unfulfilled purpose.
Li Shenfu thought in his heart, if it weren't for the addition of Li Shan, Liu Shirang might really have the possibility of a comeback... Li Shan ignored him, leaving Liu Shirang with nothing to do. This was also the main reason why Li Shenfu had a good impression of Li Shan.
reason.
After all, Li Shenfu's current obsession is to kill Liu Shirang.
Regarding this, Liu Shirang knew it well, Li Shan could see it, and Li Gaoqian could see it even more.
This is also the reason why Li Gaoqian suddenly appeared in Xinzhou.
"What did you say?" Li Shenfu suddenly jumped up from the couch, his face full of surprise, "Liu Shirang secretly communicated with the Turks?"
"That's right." Li Gaoqian vowed: "The old man is surrounded by enemies on all sides. Now that the city of Mayi has been destroyed, Shuozhou is in a miserable state... Where else can he go?"
Li Shenfu understood this sentence. If the city of Mayi was destroyed, Liu Shirang must be responsible for taking the blame. Maybe Chang'an was thinking about what charges to use to capture Liu Shirang.
Under such circumstances, Liu Shirang did have the possibility of surrendering to the Turks.
Li Gaoqian sighed: "If the Liu thief rebels against the Tang Dynasty and surrenders at the pass, Hedong..."
Li Shenfu had a cold war. If the Turkic army invaded Hedong again... He had made a lot of gains last year, but his luck was not so good every time.
After pacing back and forth for a long time, Li Shenfu still didn't believe it and said hesitantly: "Back then, Yiyang County was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, and he resisted Jieli Khan's army for more than a month. He scolded those who tried to persuade him to surrender. I'm afraid the saint may not believe it..."
Li Gaoqian smiled and said: "At this time, at that time, the governor of Bingzhou back then is now the magistrate of Guo County."
The difference in status and the change in form lead to a change in people's hearts... This is normal.
Li Shenfu secretly gritted his teeth, shook his head and said: "I surrendered with the pass... Now the top and bottom of the Yanmen Gate are in Li Huairen's hands."
"The words of the King of Xiangyi are wrong." Li Gaoqian said sternly: "The Marquis of Yiyang County first entrusted the imperial order to manage Mayi, and then he entrusted the imperial order to garrison Yanmen. Li Huairen was just acting as the county magistrate, and An Neng was in charge of Yanmen.
Important town?”
Li Shenfu sneered, but then realized that Li Gaoqian had to let Liu Shi die... which is what he wanted.
But it is not a trivial matter to falsely accuse the general who is guarding the gate and secretly liaising with the enemy country... If the city of Mayi is destroyed, Liu Shirang will inevitably be demoted. By then, you will not have the chance to deal with him?
Li Shenfu knew very well that Li Gaoqian hated Liu Shirang deeply and wanted to use him as a gunman.
Li Shenfu looked gloomy, "This matter cannot be ignored."
"Last year Liu Shirang was dismissed from office, but he was reinstated within a few months and served as the general manager of Guangzhou. Later, he was ordered by the Holy Spirit to conquer Mayi." Li Gaoqian said with a smile: "You need to know about the rebellion of Dugu Huaien back then."
Li Shenfu's face changed slightly. Back then, Dugu Huaien conspired to rebel. Liu Shirang found out the news and risked his life to report... At that time, Li Yuan was preparing to cross the Yellow River to Dugu Huaien's camp.
It is precisely because of this incident that although Liu Shirang had no help in the court, he had helped save him. Li Yuan was quite generous in this regard... Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing were both defeated on the battlefield, but they were able to recover in the blink of an eye. Even Li Yuan was very generous.
Gao Qian himself destroyed more than 10,000 troops, but he only cut off General Zuowu Wei and did not remove his title.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shenfu sat back on the couch, leaned forward, and whispered: "Does the prince know?"
"The prince doesn't know." Li Gaoqian, who has always been very clever in this regard, said sincerely: "I am reporting this, firstly for myself, and secondly for the king of Xiangyi."
Li Shenfu nodded. If Li Jiancheng knew about this, or even if it was the East Palace's plan... then there would be a certain chance that it would be involved in the fight for the right to inherit the throne. However, he had been refusing to return to the capital because he did not want to be involved in this whirlpool.
Li Shenfu believed that Li Gaoqian was telling the truth. The reason was very simple. Li Gaoqian was defeated and demoted, but he had the crown prince as his backing in the court. If he wanted to attack Liu Shirang, he would not have to step forward.
"Thieve Liu was arrogant back then, and even more so after he came back." Li Gaoqian sighed: "If it was a personal grudge, the King of Xiangyi would probably have it, but now it is involved in military and national affairs, and it is related to the survival of Yanmen..."
Although he knew that Li Gaoqian was working as a lobbyist, Li Shenfu still couldn't help but recall the scene in Nao County, how he dared to use his old punch... He couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek. His face looked like this at that time
There was close contact with Liu Shirang’s knees.
"Indeed, it's even worse..." Li Shenfu looked deeply at Li Gaoqian, "I guess Gaoqian has made arrangements?"
Li Gaoqian smiled proudly and said softly: "The city of Mayi was destroyed, and Cao Chuantuo, a member of Gao Man's political department, fled to Yanmen. This man was once a general of Liu Shirang's department."
Li Shenfu suddenly smiled. If Gao Manchu was going to report the matter, then he would just have to go along with the situation. Even if it failed, he would not have to bear much responsibility.
A moment later, Cao Chuantuo, a tall and thin man, knelt down in front of Li Shenfu and said impassionedly: "The Liu thief first asked the Duke of Jiangxia to bury the Yanmen army, and then refused to aid Shuozhou, causing the city of Mayi to be destroyed. This officer had already fought with Jie.
Li Khan secretly communicates..."
Li Shenfu went through it in his mind. Liu Shirang had long colluded with the Turks, so he ignored Li Shan's advice and sent Li Gao to move out of the fortress, causing the army to bury his bones outside the pass. Then he refused to send troops to rescue Ma Yi, which caused Gao Manzheng to almost
Everyone was wiped out... The logic is smooth.
Li Gaoqian smiled and asked: "Since the Marquis of Yiyang County secretly communicated with the Turks, why did the Turks not attack Yanmen Pass when the city of Mayi was destroyed?"
"Rong Guogong held on to Mayi for more than a month. It lasted for a long time. When the city was broken, it was already freezing cold. The Turkic cavalry had to return west to the grassland." Cao Chuantuo spoke eloquently. He had obviously made a plan. Maybe Li Gaoqian would replace him.
It was a fight.
"But Yugushe, the only son of Jieli Khan, once led a large army to Yanmen Pass. He did not send a single soldier or shoot an arrow, but he fled far away." Cao Chuantuo said angrily: "There are many strange things about this fact. Please help Xiangyi
The king will investigate carefully."
Li Shenfu couldn't help but laugh, and turned to look at Li Gaoqian, "In that case, how about Gaoqian's desire?"
"The memorial has been written." Li Gaoqian tried: "I am not good at writing, I don't know that the King of Xiangyi..."
The meaning is very simple. I, Li Gaoqian, will do this. Anyway, I have the support of Dong Gong behind me... I was tricked so miserably by Liu Shirang this time, I have to kill him!
But doesn’t this help you a lot, Li Shenfu?
Therefore, after Li Shenfu read the memorial, he simply added his name to the back.
