After being dismissed from office, he was able to recover and was promoted again because of the great victory in Mayi. However, being able to offend everyone up, down, left, right, left, and right is really not something ordinary people can do...Liu Shirang's temper was like a stone in a latrine, smelly and
hard.
However, Li Shan did not give the stone a chance to speak, and continued coldly: "I have tried my best to persuade you again and again on major military and national affairs."
"For personal grudges and for power and position, he easily drove the army out of the fortress and blocked the way for the defeated soldiers to return to the pass, and even this day happened."
"Even if the saint now orders the restoration of Daizhou General Manager's Office, are you qualified to serve as Daizhou General Manager?"
"Even if the saint appoints you to act as governor of the state, will you be able to sit still?"
"Regardless of others, a certain Li Huairen will not accept it."
There was no harsh reprimand in Li Shan's words. He only spoke in a eloquent tone, but it was mixed with frosty swords and wind swords. Opposite him, Liu Shirang's face was livid, he was so angry that he was about to retort.
Li Shan took the lead and said, "If the Marquis of Yiyang County still refuses, then I will have no choice but to return to Dai County."
After Liu Shirang was stunned, his face turned pale. He naturally understood the meaning of the words and reacted at the same time.
Li Gaoqian was looking for trouble when he stayed in Yanmen, and Li Shenfu was also looking for trouble when he stationed in Guoxian. They all wished that they would fall into Yanmen Pass and lose their reputation. It would be better to be killed by the Turks... But Li Shan was different.
As acting county magistrate, Li Shan had the responsibility of guarding the territory and rushed to Yanmen overnight... Obviously Li Shan never wanted Yanmen Pass to fall.
If Li Shan leaves Yanmen Pass... to put it more bluntly, and simply flees south, what will happen if he has the favor of the saint and has military exploits at Yanmen.
But in that case, will Li Daoxuan still come to help?
To be honest, Liu Shirang was not very thoughtful. He was only vaguely aware of it before, and it was not until this moment that he understood Li Shan's threat.
At the city gate over there, there were still more than a dozen of Liu Shirang's personal guards obstructing them. Kan Leng and Wang Junhao were about to take action impatiently. Li Shan turned his head and glanced at him. If he cast his real gaze, the soldiers froze.
They all retreated to both sides.
Dozens of carriages loaded with goods, guards armed with weapons, and hundreds of driven horses slowly entered Yanmen Pass. Li Shan was delighted to see that behind the horses, there were dozens of cattle of various sizes.
Good horses are very important, but cattle are equally important... In places like Hedong, Guanzhong, and Hebei, no matter what time of year farming is done, without cattle, farming is too difficult.
Li Shan glanced at Liu Shirang who was gradually walking away... His usually straight body was slightly bent, and his white hair was blown by the wind, giving him an old and bleak look.
Now, Liu Shirang's prestige in Yanmen has dropped to the bottom...even his personal guards are afraid or unwilling to obey Li Shan's orders.
However, Li Shan was not soft-hearted, nor did he believe that people like Liu Shirang were already disheartened... Just think about it, you will know that the man who was deceived by Li Shenfu was expelled from his rank and dismissed from office. Li Yuanqi was originally appointed as the general manager of Guangzhou, but instead he talked loudly in front of the emperor.
, I have to fight back and come to Hedong to fight with Li Shenfu.
This is a stubborn old man who will never give up even if he goes to the Yellow River.
But Li Shan had no choice. Next, Shangshi would play an important role as a bridge. Li Gaoqian, a waste, could no longer be counted on. Liu Shirang was stationed at Yanmen... Li Shan had stayed at Yanmen Pass. On the one hand, it was because of the injured barracks, and on the other hand,
The purpose is to preserve this trade route.
If you want to break up, let's break up. Anyway, you don't like me for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable with you... Since it touches on the fundamentals, there is no need to look good on you.
But there is an issue that needs to be considered.
When Li Shan sent Li Daoxuan off, he specifically mentioned, "Move to Nao County as soon as possible. It is best to send partial troops to help guard Yanmen Pass."
"This..." Li Daoxuan hesitated, "If a partial army is sent here, I'm afraid the Marquis of Yiyang County will..."
Today, Li Daoxuan saw with his own eyes that Liu Shirang was almost losing control of Yanmen Pass under Li Shan's pressure. If partial troops were sent, the actual control of Yanmen Pass would fall into Li Shan's hands.
Li Daoxuan was not afraid of what would happen to Li Shan, but he was afraid that Liu Shirang would write a letter of impeachment.
"Huairen, King Xiangyi, Li Gaoqian, plus you..." Li Daoxuan advised: "The princes of Yiyang County are all forced into a desperate situation."
Li Shan stared into Li Daoxuan's eyes, and then whispered for a while: "Although the situation is difficult, although it is besieged on all sides, it is not a desperate situation."
"What?"
"He still has a choice." Li Shan's voice was faint, with an indescribable flavor.
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a while before suddenly looking back at Yanmen Pass, "No... no?"
"Who knows." Li Shan lowered his eyes, "Isn't Xue Zhong here this time?"
Xue Zhong was Li Daoxuan's marching commander last year. He was later transferred back to the capital and was transferred to General Youwei. He was also Li Daoxuan's deputy... He was a candidate that Li Shan could absolutely trust.
Li Daoxuan felt a little cold, "Is there any clue?"
Li Shan shook his head, "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
Indeed, Liu Shirang seemed to have been forced into a desperate situation. Li Shan guessed that Li Gaoqian and Li Shenfu were trying to trick him. This time they were at odds with him again and there was no help in the court... Li Yuan was counting on that.
If you don't, wasn't it Li Yuan who ordered the removal of titles and dismissals last year?
But Liu Shirang had another option, which was the Turks west of Yanmen.
Being ostracized and fleeing into the enemy's country...this happened frequently in the past few hundred years.
Nearly a hundred years ago, Hou Jing's Rebellion affected most of the south of the Yangtze River. The three protagonists in it, except Chen Baxian, Hou Jing, and Wang Sengbian, were all surrendered ministers of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Even Li Yuan's grandfather Dugu Xin once surrendered to Nanliang to protect himself.
Although Han and Hu are divided, similar incidents have not been uncommon in the past ten years.
"When Liu Shirang was appointed as the general manager of Bingzhou, he held on to the new city for more than a month, fought hard against Jieli Khan and Yuan Junzhang's army, and sternly refused to surrender." Li Shan murmured: "But this time, that time..."
Li Daoxuan also remembered this incident and whispered: "That's why Dong Palace is quite disgusted."
At that time, the person who went to persuade Liu Shirang to surrender was Zheng Yuanxuan, the Qing of Honglu who had been on many missions to the Turks. He was scolded by Liu Shirang... and Zheng Yuanxuan was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, the wife of the prince, and was a direct descendant of the East Palace.
It really offended people!
You can really do it!
Li Shan didn't think about this, and thought back and forth in his mind. No one knew whether Liu Shirang would be able to raise Yanmen to surrender the enemy... So, he might as well step in and eliminate him himself.
After being tricked several times by Li Shenfu, Liu Shirang only had 2,000 troops under his command. Although he only had 300 or 400 troops directly under his command, he was able to mobilize government troops from Dai County... It was the slack season at this time.
By that time, his prestige in Dai County was enough to gather more than a thousand soldiers.
The remaining defeated generals who fled back to Yanmen Pass were all grateful for his kindness, and Li Gaoqian was even more willing to help... If coupled with the fact that Li Daoxuan sent a partial army, it would not be difficult to oust Liu Shirang.
Once you control Yanmen, you will have no worries. Even if the Turks attack, you can quickly ask for help from Li Daoxuan while holding on.
Secondly, there is no longer any obstacle to business, so you can roll your sleeves and do your best.
The problem is, Liu Shirang will definitely play Li Yuan... This requires some preparations in advance.
After pondering for a moment, Li Shan made up his mind. He couldn't just take it calmly after breaking up, could he?
