The long procession came from the east. Wen Yanbo opened the curtain and looked from a distance. The weeping willows beside the Ba Bridge were still there. He originally thought he was just going to sign a covenant, but he didn't expect it to take so long.
Wen Yanbo was ready to leave more than half a month ago, and Li Shan had no intention of staying. However, although the manpower in Guji Town was barely enough, Zhang Shigui, as the general of Tiance Mansion, was a little unable to suppress the children of the aristocratic families.
Although Zhang Shigui himself did not come from a poor family, and his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father successively served in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, and the former Sui Dynasty, this was nothing in Hedong, where aristocratic families gathered most.
The key is that Zhang Shigui is arrogant and uses military law to control civilians... Those refugees who have just returned from the grasslands are fine, but most of the children of aristocratic families are unhappy, and among the refugees, several children of aristocratic families have emerged after Wenbang, resulting in
The situation has changed.
Regarding all this, Li Shan ignored it very neatly and directly threw all the problems to Wen Yanbo who had not had time to leave... You have summoned everyone, so you must be responsible to the end.
In the end, Wen Yanbo stayed in Guji Town for more than half a month, supervising and changing people. Everyone was so tired that he lost weight. He didn't set off until April. On the way, he received another letter from Li Shan, asking him to collect wood and salt for Daizhou.
It was late April when the tea and other goods arrived in Chang'an.
It can be said that Wen Yanbo has to admit that Li Shan is very good at employing people, but it is more certain that this young man is someone who wants to squeeze out the oil from every stone he picks up.
In fact, it's really not the case. No matter how or who he uses, Li Shan always follows the point of view of a time traveler, and those who can leave a name in history are all capable.
Zhang Gongjin, Su Dingfang, Ma Zhou, Xue Wanche, Zhang Zhongjian, Zhang Shigui, Wen Yanbo are all like this... Since you have a name, don't hold back and squeeze them as hard as you can.
The convoy passed Baqiao and headed west. After a while, the convoy split into two. Wen Yanbo headed straight for Chang'an, while the other convoy headed north under the protection of dozens of personal guards.
Nowadays, Sun Moon Lake is already well-known around Chang'an. In addition to a few industries with long-term water flow, Dongshan Temple has become a scene in Chang'an. Even the water canals that meander through the doorsteps of various houses are eye-catching because of their unique design.
...Well, in this era, actually the villages in Lingnan and Jiangnan did not have this kind of structure.
Of course, Li Shan had seen him several times in Jiangnan Ancient Town when he was flying knives with his teacher... But the so-called ancient town was built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The motorcade entered Zhuangzi and stopped outside Li's house at the west end of the village. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhu frowned and couldn't help but glance at Mr. Changsun sitting opposite.
As early as before Li Shan became famous, Li Keshi's family was familiar with Li Shan. The latter was called into the army to fight in Shandong, and Li Keshi specially sent his personal guards to protect him.
After that, Li Shan rose to become a world-famous person, and the Changsun family acted as a matchmaker for him. Li Shan also reciprocated the favor, allowing Li Kai, who had just become an official, to take on important responsibilities in Daizhou... Now under the General Manager's Office of Daizhou, Li Kai's weight is quite important.
.
Originally, Li Shan was just a humble person, and the Zhu family would always come to visit him. But now that he has been enthroned as a county king, the Changsun family often comes to Sun Moon Lake to talk to the Zhu family.
Changsun knew what Zhu was worried about and whispered: "Huairen is not like this."
"I told you before I left the capital, and it took two months to send me back." Mrs. Zhu felt a little uneasy and walked out of the house quickly.
Changsun thought for a while and didn't go out with her. Indeed, it took two months to send her back... Don't just send her back after you found out you were pregnant, right?
Previously, he felt that there was no hope of marrying the Cui family of Qinghe, and Li Shan had repeatedly declared that he would not get engaged for the time being, so the Zhu family sent the Zhou family and Xiaoman to Daizhou in the hope of giving birth to an heir.
But now... Nong Wa is okay, but if a concubine's eldest son is born, Cui Xin will be furious.
Mrs. Zhu once heard her son mention privately that Cui Xin doted on his daughter very much.
Not long after, Mr. Zhu came back, smiled and shook his head, "He is reasonable, Dalang sent his personal guards to escort the Duke of Xihe County back to the court, and sent them along the way."
"The Duke of Xihe County has returned to the court?" Changsun said with a smile: "I have been away from Daizhou for two months. It is said that there are a lot of discussions in the court."
Well, there was indeed a lot of discussion, but it was not because of Wen Yanbo, but because of Gu Jizhen... Ling Jing mentioned to Zhu in private that no matter where he was, Huairen could make three waves.
The great victory at Yanmen Pass was Li Tang's first battle with the Turks outside the Great Wall after changing his banner.
The preparation for the establishment of Guji Town was also the first time to establish a stronghold outside the fortress after changing the flag.
Obviously, Li Shan, who had just been enthroned as the county king, showed a sharp edge, but this is not in line with the mainstream of the current court... It is hard to say. Some censors impeached Li Shan in the early dynasty in an attempt to provoke the Turks and cause a war, but there are also courtiers
Maintenance... Now that Shuozhou belongs to the Tang Dynasty, is it wrong for Li Shan to choose a place to build a stronghold?
The saint Li Yuan did not comment on this. Obviously, he would have to wait at least until Wen Yanbo returned to the court to know the truth... Although Li Yuan had already known Li Shan's overall plan from the secret letter.
Today's Li Yuan is different from the Li Yuan of the original time and space. In history, in the sixth year of Wude and the seventh year of Wude, Yuan Junzhang still relied on the Turks. Jieli Khan attacked Hedong wantonly, and even in the seventh year of Wude, the main force captured Yanmen Pass and Panhuan
Yu Xinzhou refused to leave and kept attacking Taiyuan Prefecture and even Jinzhou. Li Yuan was so troubled that he had to ask Li Shimin to take action.
But while Jieli Khan was occupying Xinzhou, he sent partial troops to go south from Lingzhou, conquering Yuanzhou and Longzhou all the way, and the company's camp went south. When the Guanzhong earthquake occurred, Li Shimin fought a few battles in Hedong, and then hurriedly
Run to the pass... In other words, Li Shimin, who was idle after the great victory of Luoshui, took control of the military power in the pass during the seventh year of Wude.
Perhaps it was for this reason, coupled with the great power of the Turks, that Li Yuan prepared to move the capital under the instigation of Pei Ji and Prince Li Jiancheng.
But this life is different. Li Shan provoked the Turks' civil strife in advance, reorganized their troops, stood firm at Yanmen Pass, and most importantly, forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender... causing the Turks to lose the most experienced and capable person in attacking cities and forts.
A partial division.
In the sixth year of Wude and the seventh year of Wude, Ma Yi was gained and lost, and lost and regained. Several battles took place outside the fortress. In addition to the defeat of Li Gaoqian, the Duke of Jiangxia, several great victories made Li Yuan happy and made him happy.
Gained confidence.
Therefore, when Li Yuan summoned Wen Yanbo in Liangyi Hall, his first question was not about signing the covenant, but about the situation in Shuozhou.
"At the end of February, the King of Handan purged the garrison in Mayi. The old troops of Duke Rui were scattered in Daizhou, Xinzhou, or in the fields, and were either demobilized or mixed with the Tang army. Only a thousand cavalry were left to assist the Duke of Yiyang County."
Wen Yanbo introduced the situation in Mayi clearly and clearly, "The Turks invaded in large numbers, and I dare not say that Mayi will not be lost, but now that we are united, we will be able to defend it for a long time."
After a pause, Wen Yanbo added: "As for Guji Town, Yanmen Pass has become a corner. Unless the Turks invade the country, it will be difficult to break it."
Glancing at the living man next to him, Li Yuan nodded slightly. He naturally understood the meaning of Wen Yanbo's words. He had already signed an alliance with the Tuli Khan, and it was impossible for the Turks to invade the whole country.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yuan turned his head and ordered, "Summon Zaifu, Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang."
Regarding the new fortress in Shuozhou, Li Yuan needed to express an attitude...at least whether it was support or opposition, acquiescence or rejection, which determined Li Tang's attitude towards the Turks, and how quickly Li Tang would start a war with the Turks.
