That night, Li Shan's outburst lasted until Wei Zheng was exhausted and went to wash up and go to bed... Li Shan even chased Li Shan into the bedroom and muttered for a long time before Wei Zheng forcibly drove him away.
Wei Zheng really can't stand listening anymore. This time the prince suffered a lot of losses in Chang'an, and most of them were dumb losses that he couldn't explain. Why do you feel aggrieved?
It’s really aggrieved!
In Li Shan's words, the prince had already decided to conquer Hebei personally, and he even suppressed the King of Qin for this purpose. What was the result?
I can’t wait to spend the Spring Festival in Chang’an before setting off!
Moreover, he ordered King Qi to stop moving forward and not send reinforcements to the north!
What if this time it is not a great victory in Wei County, but a great defeat in Wei County?
I, Li Shan, am an only son with no brothers or sisters. My clan has withered away. If I were to die and my mother would be left alone, I would never be able to rest in peace!
Does it make sense?
Of course it makes sense!
But from Wei Zheng's point of view, it was very unreasonable... Military and national events involve the death of tens of thousands of people, so it is natural to handle them with caution.
However, Wei Zheng had to admit that from Li Shan's perspective, it made perfect sense.
He tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. Until the next day, Wei Zheng was still thinking about it. If the prince invited himself to go to war ten days in advance...it was a pity that everything was in vain.
Wei Zheng's first stop was Wei County. On the one hand, it was because of the great victory in Wei County, and on the other hand, he heard that there were a large number of soldiers surrendering around Wei County, which gave him the opportunity to use his methods.
Although Li Shan had done too many things in advance, especially adjusting grain from Liyangcang, which made Wei Zheng waste his efforts in urging the Shaanxi Road to transport grain and grass northward, Wei Zheng still had other means.
The most typical point is what I said yesterday, as long as you are an obedient citizen, everything will be easy. The captured family members will be returned to you. If your wife dies, I will simply give you a wife... Anyway, there are continuous wars in Hebei, and there are many young widows whose husbands have died.
.
After going through three camps, Wei Zheng had already promised seventeen or eight young widows... I don't know how this guy will keep it when he comes back.
But along the way, Wei Zheng felt very, very unhappy.
When Wei Zheng explained to the prisoners the many policies of the imperial court to appease the people, the prisoners were always dubious... Wei Zheng could understand this, after all, the bad things done by Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, Wanbao, the former Duke of the State, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, had done before
Still vivid in my mind.
But the problem is that the prisoners looked at Wei Zheng with suspicious eyes, and then... then surrounded Li Shan to ask whether it was true or false.
I am the prince washing horses. I am ordered by the saint and entrusted by the prince to patrol Shandong. You don’t believe me...but you ask a young man who has not yet become an official?
Does this make sense?
Li Shan was also a little troubled, so he simply climbed on the horse and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Shut the hell up, who says anything anymore... You are still shouting, I'll whip him on Tuesday!"
There was a burst of laughter from below. Wei Zheng and Cui Hao saw this scene... It's amazing, where is this still a prisoner camp?
The guards sent by the prince at the door were very nervous with swords in their hands, but except for three or four of Li Shan's personal guards, they were all mixed in the crowd... several of them laughed the loudest.
The reason why Li Shan had such a reputation in the prisoner camp was largely attributed to the Guards... Well, they were the first male nurse team in history, and probably in history.
Thousands of years later, it is estimated that Li Shan will probably wear the title of "The God with the Lamp".
"As long as we don't raise troops to cause trouble, everything will be fine. I'll give you rations, return your fields, and reunite your family. The old man just said it... and even gave it to your wife!"
Wei Zheng heard a black line, you are so kind to say this!
Li Shan continued to shout at the top of his lungs: "In the spring of next year, we will all live an honest life farming..."
"Li Langjun, the fields are barren and need deep plowing, so that's all." A big man asked loudly: "But there is no food planting in the spring!"
Indeed, if you want to restore Hebei and appease Shandong, you have to give others hope... Today's Hebei has no shortage of fields. After all, too many people have died, but not growing food is a big problem. Seeds are already more expensive than ordinary food.
many.
Moreover, the fields are barren and need deep plowing... This big man may be able to do it, but most people cannot. They will definitely need oxen... The Turks' previous march south was very destructive to the people of Hebei.
Li Shan waved his hands at Wei Zheng, who could only squeeze over and mutter a few words. Li Shan immediately shouted: "They are all there, they are all... Write down your place of origin later on Tuesday, and then every county will be given grain.
There are also cattle for farming.”
Then, Wei Zheng heard a continuous sound of gratitude that made him piercing.
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
"Thank you, Mr. Li Langjun."
"When I can return to my hometown, I must set up a memorial tablet for Li Langjun and burn incense day and night."
After leaving the camp, Wei Zheng asked with a dark face: "I heard that it was you who planned Wei County's great victory...do they know?"
"Of course I don't know." Li Shan asked strangely: "Why should you tell them?"
This rhetorical question made Wei Zheng feel heartbroken... Indeed, it makes sense. Why should you tell them?
But Wei Zheng immediately cheered up, and Li Shan did not deny it... In other words, it was indeed him who planned the war in Wei County.
Li Shan chuckled, "Even if I tell them... no one will believe it. This battle is led by Brother Daoxuan, Manager Tian, Manager Qi, and Manager Cheng. By the way, there is also a king... who comes from Shaanxi Province."
of."
"Wang Junkuo, the Minister of the Military Department of Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province." Wei Zheng nodded and said, "I have heard about this matter. Come and tell me how to plan."
A few days ago, Li Shan was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat. He had to manage the camp during the day, and he had to light up the lamps and fight fiercely to perform operations at night. But these days, he relaxed and ordered his guards to prepare meals, but he was thinking about Wang Junkuo.
Did this name spread to Beijing so quickly?
You must know that Wang Junkuo was deliberately not mentioned in previous victory reports and battle reports.
During the dinner, Li Shan casually talked about the details of the battle in Wei County. There was nothing he couldn't say.
"Liu Heitao boosted the morale of the army with grain ships, and Huairen set fire to the ships... but he still burned his own ships!" Cui Hao praised: "Taking advantage of the situation to destroy the enemy's morale, could it be that Liu Heitai's army could be so large in one day?
rout."
Wei Zheng frowned slightly and finally said, "Who suggested asking for help from Weizhou?"
Li Shan pointed back at his chest.
Seeing Wei Zheng staring at him, Li Shan rolled his eyes, "Brother Xuancheng ignored him and allowed me to come to Hebei to die..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Glancing at Cui Hao who was coughing violently, Li Shan said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I have a close relationship with the children of Prince Qin's family. The father of Demou, Li Gong, even asked me to bring a letter to the King of Huaiyang... It's so suspenseful.
I won’t die in Xiabo.”
"After that, I went all the way south and was chased by the Turks. I was besieged by a large army in Guantao. If not the King of Huaiyang and Manager Tian, who else could I rely on?"
"Prince?"
"King Qi?"
Li Shanyue became more and more angry when he said, "Liu Heitao failed to attack Guantao and went south to attack Wei County. The King of Huaiyang strongly advocated the battle. If I don't use all my strength, if I am defeated, will Brother Xuancheng return to the capital with my body?"
"Weizhou Tian Liu'an and Xiangzhou Qi Shanxing are both former guards of the Qin Palace. Cheng Mingzhen, the general manager of Weizhou, has a deep hatred for Liu Heitai, so he is naturally the most reliable reinforcement!"
After Li Shan finished speaking, Wei Zheng completely shut his mouth... No way, what he said was so reasonable, there was no way to refute it.
Cui Hao also smiled dryly and changed the topic. The details of the sequence of the battle were reasonable and reasonable. Even Cheng Minzhen's reason for sending troops could not be faulted.
"Which brother of the Li family in Longxi are you?"
Faced with Cui Hao's question, Li Shan simply shook his head and denied... Cui Hao's eyes immediately changed. Not every child of an aristocratic family has the magnanimity and magnanimity of Li Kai.
