Chapter 483: Investing and Receiving Power (Part 1)
Although the hall was connected in all directions, the lit stove made the hall warm as spring. The generals sitting in separate rows looked at the young man in a wide robe and long sleeves who was joking with Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, with complicated eyes.
He seems to be gentle and elegant, and his words and deeds are all elegant. It seems that he can't be connected with the high fortified Beijing Pass outside the Great Wall.
The others were a little better. Although they failed to catch up with the great victory, although they were deliberately or unintentionally challenged by Li Shan... But Chang He, who had just heard the battle report and rushed to Yanmen Pass, looked gloomy and his frustration was palpable.
.
Everyone arrived, but they didn't get any benefits... It seemed that they just didn't get an advantage, but they didn't lose much. But this was really a very heavy blow to Chang He.
Duan Zhixuan, who has never been a serious person and was rated as a rogue many years ago, restrained himself very much. He turned his head and carefully looked at Su Dingfang and Zhang Baoxiang, who were still injured. Two thousand cavalry defeated five thousand Turks head-on in three quarters. They pursued them on a snowy night and Lien Zhan
Even though he had been in battle for a long time, Duan Zhixuan still felt a chill coming to his face.
"Shan Yuye escaped..." Li Daozong clicked his tongue and said, "Huairen is quite heroic."
Li Shan was a little helpless, "Ashina Sheersuo gave me poems, so naturally I want to satisfy him."
"Hahaha!" Li Daozong laughed and said, "Next year maybe Jieli Khan will personally lead an army to invade the south, and you and I will join hands..."
"We must protect the east of the river and protect Mayi!" Li Shan said categorically: "I trust Brother Dao Zong and fight facing the west without worrying about what's behind."
Li Daozong stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Shan, "It's the same for brothers. If we go out to fight, we will do our best!"
The brief but profound exchange made the expressions of the following generals who had just arrived at Yanmen Pass two days ago become unpredictable. Xue Wanche suddenly remembered that before they met on the left side of Xinzhou Road, King Rencheng had always called him the Duke of Guantao County, and now
But they are brothers and are very affectionate.
Zhang Gongjin, who slightly lowered his eyes, exchanged glances with Duan Zhixuan who was standing aside. This passage not only showed the close relationship between Li Shan and Li Daozong, but also showed the stance of these two powerful figures in charge of the entire Hedong...the common stance.
The relationship is harmonious and the stance is the same. This is a good thing for Hedong, Li and Tang dynasties, and the resistance to the Turks... This is also a warning jointly issued by Li Shan and Li Daozong. If any of you dares to make trouble in Hedong, you will offend both of us.
!
Li Shan, who will be in charge of Daizhou Governor's Office in Hedong, and Bingzhou Governor Li Daozong were offended at the same time... No matter who is standing behind you, they will meet a tragic end.
Li Shan's eyes swept across Zhang Gongjin and Duan Zhixuan, two famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, and they were both famous generals who would ascend to Lingyan Pavilion in the future... After returning to Yanmen Pass, Li Shan received a letter from his mother Zhu immediately.
.
In the letter, Mrs. Zhu mentioned that she had settled down with the Cui family, told her son to take care of himself, and mentioned lightly at the end... Li Shan immediately judged that this letter was indeed written by his mother, but it was written by Ling Jing.
He was telling himself that neither Zhang Gongjin nor Duan Zhixuan knew the inside story.
It makes sense when you think about it, Duan Zhixuan is a rogue, Zhang Gongjin has been in Prince Qin's palace for less than a year, Li Shimin can't be that stupid.
Various thoughts flashed rapidly in Li Shan's mind, and finally fell on Ma Sanbao.
"Three years ago, the previous general manager of Daizhou, Prince Dingxiang, was killed in battle, and the imperial government withdrew the general manager of Daizhou. It was not reestablished until now." Li Shan said slowly: "In three years, the situation in Daizhou and Shuozhou has changed.
Due to changes, the Turks invaded Hedong several times, and Gao Manzheng came to surrender. Daizhou's troops were insufficient, so I have reported to His Majesty that both the Daizhou General Manager's Office and the Daizhou Army should be established."
Everyone was shocked. After the absence of Daizhou General Manager's Office, the military power in Hebei Province has been scattered. For example, Gao Manzheng, Liu Shirang, and Li Gaoqian all led their own armies before, but Li Shan had to take charge of it... But with Daizhou...
The reason for the restoration of the State Governor's Office is considered logical.
"General Zuo Wuwei, the prince of Xinxing County, should be the leader." Li Shan smiled, "We will not discuss the deployment of troops for the time being. All armies will be gathered together and divided into infantry and cavalry as usual..."
"Su Dingfang, the commander-in-chief of Zuowuwei, is brave and good at fighting, and is best at riding on horseback. He is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the cavalry." Li Shan turned his head and looked at Li Daozong, "Brother Daozong, this order will not be suspected of nepotism, right?"
Li Daozong laughed and said: "Regardless of the merits of this great victory, let's just talk about last year's Western Expedition. In the thunder of thunder, we reached Fangzhou, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, and captured the Khan alive. I am afraid that the general manager of the cavalry army has been wronged."
Su Dingfang calmly stood up and saluted to receive his post. There was an inaudible commotion around him. Daizhou was close to the border fortress, and the most important military unit was the cavalry. Leading the cavalry general was equivalent to actually controlling most of the military power.
What's more, everyone knows the relationship between Li Shan and Princess Yang Yang. Ma Sanbao is here to escort her. Su Dingfang's appointment as the general manager of the cavalry army is equivalent to the de facto top leader of the Daizhou Army.
Although all the generals who took office were sent to Daizhou by their masters behind the scenes, no matter who was more or less eager to make contributions, who didn't want to lead an army alone... As a result, Li Shan directly pushed Su Dingfang to the position of top leader.
In other words, as long as there is merit in the future, no matter who did it, Su Dingfang will be able to share part or even a large part of the profit. Of course, if he loses, Su Dingfang will also be unlucky.
Duan Zhixuan, Er Zhu Yichen, Zhang Gongjin, Xue Wanche and others looked at each other, but they each adjusted their sitting postures, and no one spoke... On the one hand, Su Dingfang was the middle officer, and only on Ma Sanbao, this was a matter of course.
On the other hand, Li Shan and Su Dingfang led their troops out of the fortress, defeated the Turks, and captured Gushe alive. The former has a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation... The most important thing is that this defeat was the first time that the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks.
, has very important representative significance.
Although Xue Wanche refused to accept it and Duan Zhixuan was angry, he had to accept it, and he had to accept it even if he didn't accept it.
After waiting for a moment, no one spoke. Li Shan nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The deputy general manager of the cavalry will be the general Zuowuwei Zuolang."
Duan Zhixuan, Chang He stood up to take charge... Li Shan glanced at Chang He and judged in his mind that this was a person with little decisiveness and little courage.
This evaluation seems inaccurate...after all, Chang He opened the Xuanwu Gate in history.
But the problem is, Chang He was the guard of Xuanwu Gate at that time. He opened the door and let Li Shimin and other generals from Tiance Mansion inside. But when the troops from the East Palace and Prince Qi Mansion arrived, where was Chang He?
It is clearly recorded in the history books that it was Zhang Gongjin who closed the Xuanwu Gate alone. Later, in order to guard the Xuanwu Gate, the Tiance Mansion also killed two generals, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng.
During the Zhenguan period, apart from recommending Ma Zhou, Chang He had nothing worthy of praise. He even only got a low-level title of uncle of Wushui County... Look at Liao Yongzhong who killed Han Lin'er in later generations. He was ordinary.
But he can be made a marquis.
Li Daozong, who was sitting aside, looked a little strange and a little sympathetic... Except for Ma Sanbao and Su Dingfang, everyone present had a background, which was really a pain for Huairen.
And Li Shan himself... felt a little excited and gained some confidence.
After all, most of the generals in front of him were famous generals who will go down in history. However, when he led his troops out of the fortress this time, although he did not kill a single Turk, after all, he had made great achievements and Li Shan had great confidence in controlling the situation.
