The main hall of Renshou Palace has been completely demolished. Li Yuan lived in a palace at the foot of the mountain after coming down the mountain yesterday. However, it was occupied by Liang Bing for three days and it was quite dilapidated.
Li Shan was changing Li Yuan's dressing himself, and whispered: "The guards may not be able to arrive today, but the medicine should be delivered, and Yu Huchun..."
"Drinking to heal your wounds?" Li Yuan's face twitched and he took a breath of pain.
"It's to wipe the wound to prevent suppuration." Li Shan explained: "During the Daidi war, the guards used Yuhuchun to wash their wounds, and there were many survivors."
"By the way, Pingyang mentioned it." Li Yuan stared at the broken wall, "The Renshou Palace is quite ominous. I will never come here again!"
It is indeed unknown. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian and his wife Empress Dugu died of illness here. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, who was already regarded by the world as Khufu II, also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor here.
"But we can't go back to Chang'an for the time being." Li Shan shook his head and said, "The hotter the climate, the easier it is for the wound to become inflamed and suppurate, even to the point where the disease reaches the bone marrow. My uncle can build another palace near Jingzhao in the future."
Li Yuan responded casually and asked, "Can Liang Luoren be captured?"
Li Shan's mouth twitched, and he wrapped up the wound first, then whispered: "Yesterday, soldiers from Qingzhou and Ningzhou intercepted, and then Huo Guogong Chai Shao and Zhang Zhongjian led their troops to attack and blocked Liang Jun in a valley."
"But Liang Luoren held several captured courtiers hostage..." Li Shan glanced at Li Yuan's expression, "Among them were Brother Guang, Duke Fan Yang from Zhongshushe, Hou Junji from Tiance Mansion, Su Xu, and Dou Shilun.
"
Not to mention others, Dou Dan was Li Yuan's son-in-law, and he and Dou Shilun were both from the Dou family in Fufeng. Li Yuan was stunned for a while, then angrily kicked the table over and said angrily: "Are we going to let that guy Liang Luoren survive?"
?!"
Li Shan and Ling Jing discussed last night that if Li Shan couldn't bear the blame, it would be better to throw it directly in front of Li Yuan... Fortunately, Dou Dan was among them, and this was Dou Kang's son. Others couldn't say anything.
Come.
Although there are three backbones of Tiance Mansion, there are also Lu Chisong and Zheng Deting from Zhongshushe who are attached to the East Palace.
"Your Majesty should not be angry at this time. You need to calm down and recuperate." Li Shan advised: "Liang Luoren is just a sword for Liang Shidu. If the sword holder is captured in the future, a sword... Your Majesty can break or destroy it."
Li Yuan thought for a while with a cold face, thinking that not to mention Dou Guangda's son-in-law, he was just a few generals and staff from Tiance Mansion gathered by Hou Jun, and he couldn't abandon it at will... After all, Erlang's loss this time was too great, if not
Huairou, I'm just afraid that Erlang will feel resentful.
In Li Yuan's view, the King of Qin's lineage was suppressed very miserably last year, but this time Erlang is loyal and brave, and Da Lang came late to help, which is really unpredictable... What's more, the Liang Master occupies the land of three states, and Erlang may not be needed.
Take action, but if Erlang is not here, then you will lose a little confidence.
"That's all." Li Yuan waved his right hand, "Release the captured courtiers, and Xu Liang's army returns north."
"I obey." Li Shan bowed.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shan and asked, "Does Huairen have a plan to control the armies?"
"First of all, stabilize the defense lines of Longzhou and Jingzhou, and then attack after ten months." Li Shan said loudly: "Firstly, the autumn harvest is approaching, and the military rations are insufficient, so the government soldiers' minds are wavering. Secondly, after the autumn harvest, the grassland tribes may go south.
When looting, you should defend first and then attack."
Li Yuan nodded, this was a sound idea. Liang Jun conquered the Three Prefectures and made a long-distance attack on the Renshou Palace, beating the northwest area of the pass to a pulp. In addition, a large number of generals and courtiers were injured. It was indeed difficult to send troops northward immediately.
"That's it over there, Huairen will assign it." Li Yuan thought for a while and then said: "How is Su Dingfang's injury?"
"It will take two months to recover from the injury." Li Shan sighed: "I heard that during the battle that day, the Mingguang armor worn by brother Dingfang was hit by more than a hundred arrows and was shot out of the gap."
Li Yuan also sighed, "Huairen's bodyguard, Zhou Erlang, has done a good job in escorting the driver. Huairen will remind him the next day, and I will give him a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Shan is not surprised. It is difficult for him to reflect his role in saving the driver, or it can only be reflected in Li Yuan's perception of him. The actual reward will fall on Zhang Zhongjian, Wang Junhao, Zhou Yilang and others.
On people.
Li Shan thought for a while and whispered: "Among the generals who came to help from Jingzhao and other prefectures this time, I am planning to send General Zhang Jin of Zuowei to garrison Renshou Palace. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Zhang Jin..." Li Yuan showed a smile, "It's quite appropriate."
Zhang Jin was a former Sui general. He once accompanied Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to conquer Goguryeo. He was an old friend of Li Yuan and had also shown favor to Li Yuan. He was trapped in Luoyang at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but he stayed behind closed doors and did not serve as an official in Zheng State. Four years after Wude
Going north to Chang'an, Li Yuan appointed him as General of the Left Guard and Superintendent of Arms.
This man has a loyal character and is an old friend of Li Yuan. He has never been involved in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne, and he has not even been involved in government affairs. He is indeed the most suitable candidate among the generals for this reinforcement.
Li Yuan nodded to Li Shan, "Huairen is attentive."
Obviously, on the one hand, His Majesty is now dissatisfied with the Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, and on the other hand, he has no idea of Yi Chu. Su Dingfang was injured, and the candidate chosen by Li Shan satisfied Li Yuan.
The more Li Yuan saw the recognized nephew in front of him, the more he liked him, and he casually said: "I discussed with Erlang last night that we should rebuild the Lingzhou Road Marching General Manager's Mansion. In this battle, Huairen went north and south and made numerous achievements. Do you want to be the general manager?"
"Let's forget it." Li Shan smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I don't dare to take on this important task, but Liang Shidu has captured the three states this time, and the autumn harvest is not far away, so I'm afraid that the Turkic civil strife will stop."
Li Yuan smacked his lips. Indeed, the Liang division has always relied on the Turks. Although this attack was definitely not instigated by the Turks. The two khans in Wuyuan County were still fighting, but now they have captured Lingzhou, Huizhou, and Yuanzhou.
, if you want to gain a firm foothold, you will definitely ask the Turks for help.
Although Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan were tit for tat, they would not remain indifferent and watch the Tang army expel Liang Shidu.
If the Turks move south... knowing that the head coach of the Tang army on the opposite side is actually Li Shan, I'm afraid they will attack with all their strength.
"It is said that... there is a legend in the grassland that whoever can behead Li Huairen, the king of Handan in the Tang Dynasty, will be qualified to become the real Khan." Li Yuan sighed: "The Ashina clan both fears and hates Huairen."
Is there still such a rumor?
Li Shan's mouth was almost crooked, and he said angrily: "Jieli Khan and Ashina She'er are fine. Tuli Khan is the brother of Jinlan who is sworn in with his nephew. How can it be so unrighteous!"
Li Yuan rolled his eyes, how could you have the nerve to say such things... Wasn't he forced to marry you?
Besides, between the two countries, brothers have no scruples about life and death, let alone fake ones?
Li Shan was still indignant and muttered in a low voice: "Dai Guogong is too biased. Even if you want to stir up trouble, don't do it too obviously!"
Li Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to this guy. After Li Jing took over Daizhou, the trade routes were still open, but the general manager of Daizhou gave up on Tuli Khan and chose to aid the disadvantaged Jieli Khan... and he was also arrested.
Lived the evidence.
After talking for a while, Li Shan saw that the waiters around him were standing farther away, leaned closer and whispered: "Uncle, my nephew has something to do..."
"But it doesn't matter." Li Yuan asked with a smile: "I want to marry you to the daughter of the Cui family... I just heard that Cui Sheren wants to keep his beloved daughter until she grows up?"
Li Yuan heard his daughter Princess Pingyang mention it twice that Li Shan wanted to get married as soon as possible, but Cui Xin was not willing.
"Well... if Your Majesty wants to grant a marriage, it would be best." Li Shan shrank, "But that's not the case."
After a moment, Li Yuan opened his mouth wide, "All died in the battle?"
Li Shan blinked, "Uncle, I'm just afraid that Mr. Pei will criticize me...but my nephew is really unjust."
