Naturally, Li Shan had to make some preparations when he accompanied the army to conquer Hebei Province. For this reason, he brought Zhou Zhao, who was relatively familiar with Hebei Province, and asked Li Kai, Fang Yizhi and others for advice.
Shuang Shiluo, the supervisor of Dingzhou, was originally the second right guard of the Qin Palace. He was left behind by Li Shimin when he conquered Hebei at the beginning of the year. He had been holding on to Dingzhou for the past two months, but he did not expect to be defeated in the end.
To the north of Dingzhou is the Turkic sphere of influence, to the east is Yizhou, which was captured by Liu Heita in August, and further to the northeast is Youzhou.
Just when Li Shan thought of this, he heard Guo Pu, who was more familiar with the battle situation, whisper: "The Youzhou army hasn't moved yet?"
"Of course it hasn't moved." Li Qianyou sighed quietly from behind.
Guo Pu immediately fell silent and stood solemnly with his head bowed, pretending to be a wooden stake.
There is a reason for this. Before Li Keshi entered the Qin Palace, he served as a military officer under Luo Yi, the director of Youzhou.
In the third year of Wude, Luo Yi defected to the Tang Dynasty, but he always occupied Youzhou and did not enter the court. Although it was not a separate faction, it was its own faction.
Liu Heita went to war in Yizhou and Dingzhou, not far from Youzhou, but Luo Yi never sent troops.
Obviously, Liu Heitai also saw this. After conquering Yizhou, he deliberately turned to attack Dingzhou. However, Shuang Shiluo, the director of Dingzhou, was too good at defending it and held it for more than a month... Now Dingzhou has fallen. , it should be Liu Heitai who got the news that the King of Qi led Hedong Mansion troops to come to the rescue.
No need for Li Qianyou to continue explaining, Li Shan immediately understood the reason why Li Yuanji and Han Liang almost quarreled.
Li Shimin's previous expedition to Hebei left many old troops behind. As Han Liang was working in the Tiance Mansion, he naturally hoped that Li Yuanji would lead his troops northward as soon as possible.
And Han Liang's reason was the reason why Li Yuanji didn't move.
Let's fight, let's fight, it's best if we all get killed, or both sides suffer... I'll take advantage again.
"Hedong Prefecture soldiers went south via Taihangxing and entered Hebei Road from Shaanxi Road. Everyone on the road knows this..."
"shut up!"
This was the first time Li Shan heard Li Yuanji's voice, which was a bit sharp. He turned his head and glanced through the gap between the people, and saw that Li Yuanji had already drawn a knife in his hand.
Han Liang was not afraid, but took a step forward, obviously saying... If you have the ability, just cut him down!
Li Yuanji's eyes were flickering. If it had been a few years ago, he might have cut you off regardless of who you were... But after experiencing the Luoyang War, he also learned to control his temper.
"Zhong Liang's statement is totally wrong." Li Sixing, who was most valued by Li Yuanji in Prince Qi's palace, came out and said: "Going south via Taihangxing is the order of the sage."
Han Liang looked very ugly, gritted his teeth and stared at Li Yuanji, then suddenly turned around and left after a moment.
Li Shan took two quick steps to avoid it, thinking about what Han Liang just said.
Indeed, Liu Heitai has been entrenched in Yizhou and Dingzhou. Li Yuanji really wanted to quell the rebellion quickly, so he should take Feihukou and cross the Taihang Mountains and directly enter Dingzhou.
"Let's go." Li Shan whispered, and quickly disappeared with Guo Pu, Zhou Zhao and their entourage... Let the big shots worry about these troubles.
It's really dog bite dog.
Within about half a month after making peace with the Turks, the East Palace and the King of Qin had a heated argument over Liu Heitai. Finally, Li Yuan ordered Li Yuanji to send troops... As a result, Liu Heitai captured Dingzhou, and everything went smoothly.
It seemed that it was for Liu Heitai, but in fact this war was the battlefield between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin for the title of heir.
Shaanxi Province was Li Shimin's base camp and the source of food and grass for the Tang army in Hebei Province. It would inevitably exclude Li Yuanji, who came to grab credit but stood by and watched...
One word, chaos.
too messy.
Seeing that it was noon, Li Shan was not living in the military camp, but was arranged in a house on the west side of the county. The place was quite small, but no groups were allowed.
He went straight to the military camp to get some food. Li Shan was not picky and led everyone around the city wall, thinking in his mind. No wonder it was Li Jiancheng who led the army to attack Liu Heitai. Li Yuanji's ability was relatively...
…
Dingzhou was captured, and he didn't want to immediately send troops to the north, but he just sat there with a heavy army and couldn't move. This is what only a fool can do!
If you want to weaken Li Shimin's prestige and you can't let him defeat Zhan, then you have to let yourself win to shorten the gap.
Of course, it may also be because Li Yuanji lacks confidence.
After all, Liu Heitai in the first two months was like a tiger with his teeth and claws pulled out. After the capture of Dingzhou, Li Yuanji suddenly realized that Liu Heitai last year was so powerful that he swept across Hebei and almost defeated everyone except the King of Qin.
All generals except.
Li Shan doesn't care about Li Yuanji's progress, but he is very concerned about what this war can bring to him.
Li Shan didn't have a complete plan, and he wasn't good at making plans. In his previous life, he never had much leverage, and in this life, he still didn't have any substantial leverage... But ability could change everything.
At least medical skills are useful, abacus is useful, and maybe others...
At this moment, Li Shan paused, his nose moved, and he turned around and opened his mouth to curse.
But someone beat him to it.
"How brave you are to drink alcohol in the army!"
Li Shan's face darkened, he turned around and saw a tall middle-aged scribe appearing from the side, and said sternly: "Who do you belong to?!"
The scene was silent for a moment, Zhou Zhao was still holding the wine bottle in his hand, and the smell of wine blew in the wind.
I had seen him during the march before, often with Li Sixing, but who was it... Li Shan glanced sideways, and Guo Pu also looked confused.
Li Shan stepped forward and saluted, "This is not wine..."
The scribe on the opposite side interrupted Li Shan with a mocking laugh... Zhou Zhao suddenly let out a wine burp.
I'm so aggrieved. I really can't drink the alcohol in the hospital...well, even though the wine in it is not considered alcohol.
Everyone was silent before the meeting. The middle-aged scribe was furious and waved his hands and scolded: "You guys..."
As soon as he said these two words, his voice suddenly stopped. A flash of blush flashed across the middle-aged scribe's face, and then he turned pale and his body swayed.
Then... then Li Shan hugged the middle-aged man speechlessly, okay, just now I was thinking about which of his abilities would be useful, but in the end I still have to rely on professionalism.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the middle-aged scribe, who had replenished some food, completely regained consciousness. He turned around and looked around. This was a small and medium-sized inner room. Although it was not luxurious, it was definitely in the county town.
"Are you awake?" Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, went out and brought in a bowl of porridge, "Drink before you talk."
Seeing the middle-aged scribe's hesitation, Li Shan added: "I am practicing medicine. You should not take a short diet for this disease, otherwise you will faint."
"That's right." The middle-aged scribe said slowly, "What's wrong with this?"
"Diabetes... uh, a type of diabetes mellitus. You should like sweets."
The middle-aged scribe nodded in recognition and picked up the bowl.
In fact, Li Shan is not sure, but this is the most likely possibility. Once diabetics control their diet, it can easily lead to hypoglycemia and dizziness.
"Although it is wine, it is really not for drinking." Li Shan sat down and explained patiently, "I practice medicine. I am going on an expedition with the army this time. Washing the wound with refined wine can prevent the wound from rotting."
The middle-aged scribe just listened until he finished the bowl of porridge, then said slowly: "Who are you?"
"Li Shan."
Li Shan was straightforward and hesitated for a moment before asking the other party's name.
Historically, Li Shan was familiar with quite a few officials in the Qin Palace, and even some of the officials in the East Palace knew their names.
So this time when he joined the army, Li Shan didn't interact much with others. If it were Wei Zheng, he would be interested, but the officials of Prince Qi's Mansion... I'm sorry, I don't have a big brain.
However, Li Shan refused to ask, but the other party insisted on introducing himself.
"I am descended from the Wei family in Quyang County, whose single name is Zheng and whose courtesy name is Xuancheng."
Li Shan swallowed his saliva, he was talking about Cao Cao. Is Cao Cao here?
