It was just a simple dish, but a large bowl of rice was served, and Li Shan ate it with gusto. He had lived a long and hard life in his previous life, so eating some would be good.
Not to mention that in Guji Town, Li Shan was basically in a state of semi-starvation for almost a month. In the last two days, there was no limit to horse meat, but white water horse meat had no seasoning, and even no salt at that time.
Even a non-picky eater like Li Shan would find it hard to swallow.
Li Shan still clearly remembers the moment when he drove his horse out of the city gate and tied up the horse's stall, what he was thinking was, can he eat another bowl of rice in this life?
After eating until he burped, Li Shancai put down his bowl and chopsticks, smiled at Wei Zheng who was facing him and couldn't eat, and said, "Brother Xuancheng laughed."
Wei Zheng didn't take it seriously. It was indeed a bit ugly to eat, but considering that the other party was trapped in Guji Town not long ago due to lack of food, this was a normal reaction.
"Please elaborate on what Huairen said just now." Wei Zheng also put down his bowl and chopsticks and said seriously: "Why are you making such big words?"
Li Shan took the hand towel handed by the maid and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then said slowly: "Brother Xuancheng has been in Dai for some time. Do you know the reputation of this younger brother in Dai?"
Wei Zheng was a little confused, and after thinking for a while he said: "In the Shandong War, Huairen tried his best. Last year, he went to Daizhou and was praised by both the government and the public."
When Wei Zheng arrived at Yanmen Pass, Li Jing immediately ordered to send troops the next day. Therefore, Wei Zheng did not feel Li Shan's ubiquitous and far-reaching influence in Daidi like Li Jing did. Even these days, he was only surprised by the Xia Xia that Li Shan planned to build.
city.
In other words, despite Li Shan's move to seize the army, Wei Zheng still did not correctly understand Li Shan's prestige in the Daizhou army.
Li Shan didn't want to say too much, so he just said: "Pharmacist Li can recommend generals, but I can't."
Wei Zheng was even more surprised. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Huairen has returned to the court with great achievements... To tell the truth for my brother, it is difficult to place him. If he is recommended as a general, he will be accepted by everyone."
"What's more, it's not for the East Palace, but only for the lineage of King Qin."
Wei Zheng's meaning is very clear. You, Li Shan, have made such great achievements and have given up your position as acting governor. You owe a debt to the government. You are just recommending a few people. No one will make things difficult for you.
And it's not that you are asked to contribute to the East Palace, it is just that you are not allowed to take advantage of King Qin... Or to put it more clearly, you can choose your own direct descendants or people you don't rely on on both sides.
Well, in the Daizhou army, there were relatively few generals who did not rely on both sides. Although Qin Wutong was appointed by Li Yuan, he was a slippery figure. On that day, when he submitted a letter to report his merits, it was Daizhou Sima Zhu Yichen who rushed to make the decision.
of.
However, under the leading generals, Li Shan has many direct descendants. If several Daizhous are promoted and the local generals in Shuozhou are promoted, once Li Shan leaves office, these people will be labeled as Li Shan. Even if they do not join the East Palace, they will
He will not be easily recruited by King Qin.
Of course, there is another unsaid thing in Wei Zheng's words... Once Li Shan returns to the dynasty, the most important vacant position in Daizhou is acting governor history, and Li Shan, who has achieved great success, has the trust of the saint and can pass the exam.
Princess Pingyang corresponded with Li Yuan, so she was qualified and had the means to recommend a successor.
The East Palace does not want this position to fall into the hands of King Qin, so they hope... Will Li Shan take the blame?
Li Shan chuckled lightly, "My little brother is not shy about it. Now Su Ding is actually in charge of the acting state army. If someone recommends Yiyang County Duke Liu Shirang to be the acting governor... it will be difficult for Li Yaoshi to take real power."
After this confrontation with Li Shan, Li Jing, who had suffered a complete defeat, had almost no prestige among the Daizhou Army. However, the Daizhou Army is now a powerful army in the world. Once Su Dingfang, who leads it, returns to Beijing with Li Shan, both the East Palace and the King of Qin will
Trying to strengthen his power in the Daizhou Army.
This includes the reason for the extension of the inheritance, and also the wishes of the generals... Everyone wants to eat more and occupy more. This time the Turks are defeated, there will be a big reward in the court. In the next few years, Daizhou will definitely fight against the Turks.
The front line, and the main force of the future expedition against the Turks will definitely come from Yanmen. Who doesn't want to make achievements?
In fact, this is not a big problem. Time will gradually wear away Li Shan's influence in the Daizhou Army. Even if this influence will continue and will not be lost, Li Jing will eventually have a way to control the real power... It really doesn't work.
Just transfer the old Jianghuai department and replace it bit by bit.
But if Li Shan intervenes, the meaning is different. At the level of leading generals, Liu Shirang, who followed Li Shanbei to attack the Turks, can be recognized by many generals. Anyway, as long as the real power does not fall into the hands of the East Palace or the King of Qin
That's fine...both sides will think so.
Coupled with Liu Shirang's old and tough temperament and Li Shan's profound influence in the army, Liu Shirang is likely to directly control the Daizhou Army and bypass Daizhou General Manager Li Jing... Li Shan doesn't know if this situation will happen.
True, but even if it was just a hint, he was not willing to take the risk.
Even the general manager of Daizhou gave up, and even Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian were ready to take them back, so why would they do such a thing?
On the small side, this will inevitably lead to a falling out with the Li family in Danyang, Longxi. On the big side, this is playing tricks on Li Yuan.
What if Li Jing gets angry and decides to resign and return to his hometown... Since you, Li Shan, want to be the master of Daizhou, I won't bother you!
Then Li Shan is fucked!
What would Li Yuan think?
What would Li Shimin think?
After returning to the court, although he secretly joined the King of Qin, and although he had Princess Pingyang as his support, the person Li Shan really relied on was the saint Li Yuan.
Once Li Yuan is rejected, Li Shan's situation is really hard to say... Don't forget, the old fox Pei Shiju is still watching in the dark corner.
Why do you want to play such a trick with Li Yuan for this kind of thing?
Although Li Shan spoke intermittently in a very cryptic way, Wei Zheng also understood and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth... Is it because I didn't see the situation clearly?
We first met him by the Yellow River back then, but he was just a young boy. Who would have thought that now... one sentence would be able to discredit the famous general of Yongkang County, Li Jing, who was appointed by His Majesty?
However, Wei Zheng also understood that even if this possibility was unlikely, Li Shan was not willing to take the risk... This was also in line with the cautious character of the young prince.
Once Liu Shiyi takes over, the situation will get out of control. Will Li Shan show up again then?
That would only make things worse. Chaosing Daizhou in one sentence, pacifying Daizhou in one sentence... So is this Daizhou of the Tang Dynasty, or is it your Li Shan's Daizhou?
Therefore, Li Yuan can choose the position of Acting Governor Shi, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin can grab it, and even Li Jing is qualified to intervene, but Li Shan cannot.
Wei Zheng forced a smile, shook his head and said: "Huairen thinks too much. What I am referring to is Zhang Zhongjian, what kind of people are he?"
Li Shan yawned. He was a little annoyed with this guy. He really spared no effort for the sake of Prince Li Jiancheng... It's a pity that your master is too useless, or compared to Li Shimin, he is too useless.
Li Shan's judgment is based on the tragic ending of Li Jiancheng in the original time and space on the one hand, and several judgments in this life on the other hand... To be honest, he is indeed the best.
"Zhang Zhongjian, He Liu is in charge of the Shuozhou Cavalry. He is actually the most elite old unit of Yuan Junzhang." Li Shan said casually: "If someone recommends..."
Glancing at Wei Zheng, Li Shan emphasized his tone, "Gong Rui Guo still lives in Sun Moon Lake."
Wei Zheng's chest felt tight at these words. It was indeed true. It was indeed taboo for Li Shanruo to recommend the elite cavalry of Shuozhou, his direct descendant. In addition, Yuan Junzhang was still living in Sun Moon Lake, and his majesty might even murmur... You Li
