After learning that Yuan Xiaozheng arrived in Dai County secretly, Li Shan quickly judged that the young man's purpose was to leave a way out for his father Yuan Junzhang.
But after Li Shan discussed with Yuan Xiaozheng, he realized Yuan Junzhang's intention... Yuan Xiaozheng was too young and his mouth was not very reliable.
Yuan Junzhang may have really wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but what he wanted was not to become an official like Guo Zihe who once occupied Yunzhou. What he wanted was territory, to occupy a piece of land in Shuozhou and Yunzhou.
territory.
This is a typical figure with two ends... On the Turkic side, Yuan Junzhang's status is not high. If he joins the Tang Dynasty, he will not receive special preferential treatment, and his power may be greatly reduced.
What was placed in front of Yuan Junzhang was a living example, for example, Gao Manzheng, a former subordinate of Shuozhou who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was given the title of Duke.
After Gao Manzheng surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he was immediately appointed as the general manager of Shuozhou. Not only was the number of soldiers under his command not reduced, but he also received supplies sent from Hedong by the Tang Dynasty. He was still the person in charge of Shuozhou.
Therefore, Yuan Junzhang had made up a similar idea... Li Shan quickly heard this meaning from Yuan Xiaozheng's words, and immediately judged that Yuan Junzhang had a plan to raise troops south to attack Shuozhou, which was also consistent with
The information found by Fan Shiyi is consistent with it.
Li Shan has already written letters to Liu Shirang and Li Gaoqian regarding relevant information, but these are not his main responsibility, and his attention still remains on business matters.
For the Yuan family, if they want to gain a foothold in Shuozhou, they must either gain the trust of the Turks or obtain the pardon of Li Yuan, but no matter which side, Yuan Junzhang, who has just been defeated and has suffered a great loss in power, hopes to get support.
This support is both political support and resource support.
In this case, Li Shan appeared in Yuan Junzhang's sight.
After discovering that Tuesday Lang sent people to recruit people, Yuan Junzhang quickly sent people to Dai County to find out. Some public information was not kept secret. Li Shanjue was granted the title of Duke of Guantao County, and he saved Princess Pingyang and won the favor of the saint... This is
Public things.
This was a man who was trusted by Emperor Li Tang and even the royal family. He had a close relationship with Yanmen guard Li Gaoqian. He was also the founder and principal of this trade route. Whether it was politics or resources, Yuan Junzhang except Li Gaoqian
Apart from goodness, the options available are actually very narrow.
As for those prominent families in Hedong, I'm sorry, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Daizhou have been dominated by sabers in recent years, and the family's influence on these places is very weak... Well, of course, Yuan Junzhang followed the Turks into the invaders several times.
The whole family was harmed by this.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the Yuan family could only choose Li Shan.
Yuan Junzhang asked his son to just test it out, but he was completely deceived by Li Shan!
Li Shan soon discovered during the conversation that Yuan Xiaozheng, a young man, had no knowledge of martial arts. He read a lot of poetry and books but had little talent. The most important thing was that the elder he respected the most was his grandfather, the late governor Shi Yuankan.
Yuan Kan, a native of Mayi, Shuozhou, was born powerful, good at strategy, and able to dance, but it was his extraordinary literary talent that made him famous in Hedong... He was praised by Xue Daoheng of the Xue family in Hedong.
Then... then, Ma Zhou intentionally or unintentionally mentioned it in front of Yuan Xiaozheng, and he mentioned it in the absence of Li Shan, mentioning that Li Shan's poetry in Chang'an overwhelmed all the heroes in the city.
Li Shan completely forgot what he had planned when he left Chang'an...he went to Dai County and would never be famous for his poetic talent again.
In other words, I will never plagiarize again!
After listening to Ma Zhou reciting those poems that have been passed down through the ages, Yuan Xiaozheng admired Li Shan... Don't you admire me?!
After Li Shan found out that Yuan Xiaozheng was most fascinated by the article "Ai Lian Shuo", he immediately set up a trap... and asked Xiao Man to clean up the study in a very simple way.
Then...then Li Shan summoned Yuan Xiaozheng in the study, and the "Inscription on the Humble Room" came into being.
Such an eternal masterpiece appeared in front of him, such a scene... may be left in the annals of history. Yuan Xiaozheng transformed into a fanboy, and kept claiming that Li Shan was his "teacher".
After several rejections, Li Shan had no choice but to accept this disciple.
I'm sorry, I really can't teach you anything... Li Shan planned to let this guy read more poems and books, and finally let the sentence "Articles are made by nature, but can be found by clever hands" come out.
It’s not that I won’t teach you!
However, since we are master and apprentice, we must treat each other honestly. Li Shan gently took Yuan Xiaozheng to the backyard and said with a smile: "I'll leave it to Xiaozheng to handle the caravan."
"Master Li, don't worry." Yuan Xiaozheng patted his chest and vowed.
Li Shan felt that his face was a little hot, and he didn't know if it was red or not. He thought for a while and said softly: "My teacher regards himself as a gentleman of Lian, but he organized a caravan to go out for business. I think Xiaozheng must have doubts in his heart."
Although Yuan Xiaozheng was a bit naive, he was not stupid either. He said with a smile: "That day when I saw Zhou Lang envoys to persuade people to return to their homeland and exchange wine for cattle and horses, my disciples knew that Master Li organized a caravan to go out of the fortress.
There are other pictures."
Li Shan nodded approvingly, "There must be a battle between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty. There is a shortage of good horses in the court, and even more cattle in Guanzhong. I have a secret promise to be a teacher..."
Yuan Xiaozheng speculated in his mind, does this "Shang" refer to the emperor or the prince?
It is said that Li Gaoqian, the general of Yanmen Guards Zuo Wuwei, and Li Shi had a good relationship, and the former was a confidant of the prince.
Just as he was thinking about this, Yuan Xiaozheng suddenly heard Li Shan change the subject, "Duke Yuan wants to attack Mayi this year?"
"Well……"
"It was a helpless move due to the Turks." Li Shan shook his head indifferently, "This matter is fine. I just hope that Xiao Zheng will protect the caravan."
"Master Li, don't worry." Yuan Xiaozheng patted his chest for the second time and assured, "There will be no mistakes!"
Li Shan smiled and wondered in his mind how many troops the Turks would send in this battle, but theoretically it was already the end of September, almost October, and even if the Turks helped Yuan Junzhang conquer Mayi... Yanmen should be fine, he himself
There's still at least half a year left.
At this time, Yuan Xiaozheng asked cautiously: "Master Li, I have something to ask, I don't know whether I should ask..."
"As master and disciple, we are naturally honest." Li Shan's eyes were sincere.
"On that day in Yunzhong County, Ashina Society..."
"Hahaha." Li Shan laughed and said, "She'er attacked Hebei last year and had a relationship with me as a teacher. He became famous in Shandong and it was thanks to him."
When Yuan Xiaozheng heard what Li Shan said, his face turned red and he seemed a little excited, "Master Li is a talented person with both civil and military skills."
Li Shan smiled and listened to his apprentice's praise, but after repeating a few words over and over again, he interrupted: "By the way, there is no need to hide anything from you and me when we return to Yunzhou this time, but if we meet a Turkic noble, we still don't mention it.
good."
Yuan Xiaozheng didn't know why, but he nodded in agreement.
Please, if Ashina She'er knows that I'm in Dai County, it's not necessarily what will happen, but if Ashina Yugu She'er knows about it, that guy will definitely come to Yanmen regardless of carrying the knife!
