Pull the bow full force, close your right eye, aim with your left eye, release your right hand, there will be a slight sound of strings in your ears, and then there will be silence.
Li Shanqian turned around with a smile, "Third sister, this bow is not easy to use..."
Princess Pingyang's face was expressionless, and the guards around her all had strange expressions. This was the Prince of Handan County who was rumored to have shot down the Khan flag... only twenty steps away.
The strength is quite strong, and it can shoot more than a hundred steps away, but it just can't hit the target. From eighty steps to sixty steps, then to forty steps, to twenty steps... A guard thought to himself, get closer, I will
You can throw the arrow to the target!
Princess Pingyang sighed. She was relatively older in the clan. Many of her children, including Li Shimin, were taught archery by her. Li Yuanji, Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong...
Now I feel that maybe those younger brothers and cousins are talented, but it’s not because of my good teaching.
When Princess Pingyang and Li Shan returned to Linhu Palace, the former had completely given up. Li Yuan couldn't help laughing after hearing this. In fact, he heard that Prince Li Jiancheng mentioned that Xue Wanche once wrote a letter. The famous Hebei general was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
, and he swore in the letter that the King of Handan was not good at shooting, but was really not good at shooting.
Not to mention his archery skills, that guy doesn't know how to shoot an arrow at all.
Princess Pingyang looked at Li Shan who looked embarrassed, "My daughter only heard about it, Huairen understands it a little bit."
Li Yuan reached out and tapped Li Shan, and said with a smile: "It's very hot this year, but you are not in the pass. I will take you on a patrol next year."
Well, Li Yuan said it more tactfully, the so-called tour is to escape the heat, and the so-called intense heat...that means Li Shan knows how to make ice.
"I'll just give it to the palace officials later." Li Shan didn't care about this, and he didn't care about the money.
"How can such secret skills be taught to others so easily!" Princess Pingyang immediately objected and glared at Li Shan, "If you use ice in summer, if you overdose, you will feel unwell."
Li Yuan was speechless. This daughter... she had been married a long time ago, had two children, and her elbows were turned outward.
After chatting and joking for a while, Li Yuan asked: "Huairen has been back in Beijing for ten days. There must be a reason for entering the palace today. Let me tell you."
Li Shan sighed and prostrated on the ground, "I, Li Shan, Prince of Handan County, please forgive me."
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. Princess Pingyang thought for a moment and then turned around and left, standing at the door of Linhu Palace.
"Why do you apologize?"
"I was young and ignorant, full of indignation, and in order to avenge the Turks, I defeated the Turks, but in the end I captured the army and committed the following crimes." Li Shan said frankly, "Although these crimes have not been made public, but..."
At this point, Li Shan paused and said, "Your Majesty, please convict me."
Li Yuan looked deeply at the young man in front of him, and after a while he asked softly: "Does Huairen still hate the pharmacist deeply?"
"I will never forget it in this life." Li Shan immediately replied: "Three thousand lone troops were attacked by more than 100,000 Turks for eight days. Less than 800 people survived, and nearly half of them were disabled, all thanks to Li Yaoshi!"
"The Turks first attacked Yanmen Pass, and later sent surprise troops to attack front and back from Loufan Pass. However, they were defeated and returned with insufficient food and grass. They even attacked Guji Town for many days, causing heavy casualties and low morale." Li Shan said angrily: "That Li Yaoshi.
As long as partial troops are sent out of the border, the Turks will be able to retreat..."
"The prolonged delay is simply because he, Medicine Master Li, wants to achieve a great victory, but treats the three thousand Tang troops as abandoned sons!"
"Such grudges will never be forgotten in this life!"
Li Yuan looked at the angry young man in front of him, his eyes flickering.
Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng and even some of the subordinate ministers such as Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, as well as Wen Yanbo, Yuwenshi and others who were friends or in-laws with both parties were interested in making peace, but Li Yuan actually didn't care about it.
During the seven years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many famous generals were produced, but most of them were attached to the King of Qin, Li Shimin. This was something that could not be helped. The key battles were all fought by Li Shimin.
Several well-known generals of the older generation, such as Guan Guogong Rengui, were actually attached to the East Palace, which was also tacitly approved by Li Yuan.
There are not many generals who are truly loyal to Li Yuan. One is Li Xiaogong, but unfortunately he can no longer lead troops. One is Li Jing, who was personally promoted by Li Yuan and given great power. One is Li Daozong, the general manager of Bingzhou, Rencheng King.
It's a pity that this person's reputation has now been completely suppressed by Handan King Li Shan.
Therefore, in Li Yuan's mind, Li Jing and Li Shan are now the direct generals he relies on most in the army. If there is some conflict between these two people, will Li Yuan become a peacemaker?
As a superior person, Li Yuan was actually vaguely willing to see this scene.
Especially after Li Shan gained the upper hand and handed over Daizhou to Li Jing neatly and neatly, Li Yuan's impression of Li Shan went to a higher level. Although he had captured the army before, he advanced and retreated in a measured manner and did not abandon public affairs for personal reasons.
Facing Li Shan's apology, Li Yuan stood up and helped him up with his own hands, "I heard that you proposed that Su Dingfang be engaged to Li Yaowang's youngest daughter?"
"Yes." Li Shan nodded and said, "My uncle also knows that after his nephew arrived in Chang'an, he received a lot of help from the Danyang Fangxiang of the Li family in Longxi."
Li Yuan paced back and forth, thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "I issued an edict that day. Everything in Daizhou is decided by the pharmacist himself. Will Huairen blame me?"
Li Shanzuo thought for a while before speaking, "My nephew is trapped in Guji Town. My uncle is worried and must be willing to send troops to help. However, my uncle is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the lord of the world. Such military and national affairs cannot be completed."
Don’t act for your own selfish reasons..."
Li Yuan sighed, "The former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, for his own selfish interests, attacked Liaodong and went to Jiangdu, putting the country behind him. This is a lesson from the past."
"Actually, Your Majesty has already taken the risk." Li Shan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an and does not know the military situation outside the Great Wall. It is already rash to allow Pharmacist Li to make his own choice."
"How can my nephew not know that his uncle is in trouble? How can I not know that His Majesty has difficulty in making a decision..."
"I only hate Pharmacist Li..."
Li Yuan listened quietly. Although he didn't say a word, his face turned rosy. The young prince in front of him threw all the pot on Li Jing's head and put all the pressure on himself.
Li Shan had been preparing for this conversation for a long time. He didn't say whether he had any resentment in his heart, but even if he did, he couldn't show it. And to be honest, Li Yuan really wasn't ready to give up on himself, at least he didn't issue an edict ordering Li Jing to strictly guard Yanmen Pass.
Get out of the jam.
Moreover, under the current situation, Li Shan cannot openly show his relationship with Li Shimin, so in the future, Li Yuan will be his biggest support.
The only problem is that Li Shan himself has no resentment, but will Li Yuan suspect that he does?
Therefore, today Li Shancai would start with an apology, and use words that he had prepared for a long time to dispel Li Yuan's possible suspicion. The more calm he was about this kind of thing, the more he explained for the other party, throwing the blame on Li Jing's head, and Li Yuan
He will naturally feel guilty in his heart, and Li Shan can take the initiative from a certain perspective.
