Chapter 807 Reorganizing the Defense Line (Part 2)
Obviously, whether it was the fact that the Liang division had captured the Three Prefectures and became a serious problem in Guanzhong, or the tragic experience of being attacked by the Liang Army over a long distance, the first thing Li Yuan and even the entire Tang Dynasty had to do was to regain the Three Prefectures.
After Li Yuan pondered for a moment, he first glanced at his second son Li Shimin... King Qin was seriously damaged in this battle, with arrow marks still on his face. His generals were either dead or injured, and it would be difficult to go to war in a short time.
Then Li Yuan's eyes fell on Li Shan's face, "The Liang thieves invaded the pass, and among all the battles, only Huairen won. This should be said."
Li Shan twitched the corner of his mouth, smacked his lips and said: "It is imperative to reestablish the marching general office of Lingzhou Road, because Liang Division is based in Lingzhou and has Turks as its backing. If they cannot be driven out quickly, I am afraid that Liang Division will all take root in Lingzhou."
The state is a serious problem."
Everyone present also understood this. After Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Heitai, and Gao Kaidao all left the stage, Master Liang, who had always been ignored, officially became the biggest threat to the nascent Li Tang Dynasty.
This threat is not only due to Liang Shidu's capture of the Three Prefectures, but more importantly, unlike other warlords, Liang Shidu not only receives support from the Turks, but is likely to gain support from the Turks just like Yuan Junzhang.
Direct military support.
Originally, it was okay to only occupy Shuofang, but now the Liang division is located in four states, with the grassland to the north... Even if the Turks are currently in civil strife, they will not sit back and watch Li Tang be easily destroyed.
Therefore, Li Shan's description of a serious problem in his heart was approved by everyone.
Therefore, it is imperative to re-establish the Marching Commander-in-Chief... However, when the various states form an army, the first thing to do is to select the Marching Commander-in-Chief. After all, the arrangement of troops and the division of schools require the Marching Commander-in-Chief to be in charge.
.
This is also the reason why Li Shimin brought Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to the audience instead of Changsun Wuji... Li Jiancheng personally came to invite Li Shimin. On the one hand, he was forced to do so. He must bear at least three or four shares of the blame for the current situation.
On the one hand, they also came to force Li Shimin.
Changsun Wuji privately suggested that unless the East Palace gave up the position of military commander...but Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling held the opposite opinion. In the end, Li Shimin brought his right-hand man to the audience and left his brother-in-law behind.
Li Yuan sighed, "Huairen, who is worthy of this important task?"
Li Shan felt MMP again in his heart. Could it be that Li Yuan really wanted to recommend himself?
Li Jiancheng said softly: "Among the famous generals in the world, only Huairen defeated the Turks..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is ridiculous." Li Shan shook his head gently, "There are many famous generals in this dynasty..."
At this point, Li Shan had to shut up, but he was telling the truth. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were indeed many famous generals. Li Shiji, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, and Zhang Shigui were all capable of taking on their own responsibility. Even Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Cheng Yaojin
It is enough to cope with the current situation...but these are all direct generals of King Qin's lineage.
Wei Zheng frowned and said: "The situation has collapsed now. As a minister, I have gained your majesty's trust. I am included in the clan and canonized as a county king. The King of Handan should rise up..."
"Brother Xuancheng misunderstood." Li Shan said calmly: "The Turks are bound to come. Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan both want to win over the people with a certain head."
It was really not Li Shan who was afraid. He had been wary of the Turks in Longzhou, but he did not expect that Liang Shidu would be the one in the end... But he believed that his judgment was not wrong, and there must be hidden reasons for the Turks' infighting.
It is now the autumn harvest season, let alone Ashina Sheer and Tuli Khan. Even Jieli Khan is very likely to temporarily stop fighting among himself and lead his army southward... According to normal logic, they will not
Instead of going to Yanmen Pass and getting a bloody blow, they took advantage of Liang Shidu, the place in the Three Prefectures, to directly attack the pass and plunder them.
When the Turks came in, they found out that the person facing them was Li Huairen, the king of Handan in the Tang Dynasty. I was afraid that the two khans who were originally wary of each other would give up their past feud... Last year, Li Shan in Guji Town fomented discord, and it was impossible to succeed in the second
Second-rate.
"That's right." King Qin Li Shimin, who had been silent all this time, said, "Huairen is indeed not suitable for the post of military commander."
Li Yuan sighed, looking a little forlorn. Li Shan, who had been observing Li Yuan carefully, could not help but let out a long sigh of relief... The reason why he declined was indeed because he was afraid that his appearance would make the Turks attack madly, and on the other hand, he
I'm not sure what exactly Pei Shiju's old fox said to Li Yuan half an hour ago.
What if Pei Shiju made it clear or hinted that there was a secret connection between Li Shan and the King of Qin, and once Li Shan took office... no need to think about it, the generals of Tiance Mansion would definitely be transferred. If Li Yuan has become suspicious, there is no guarantee that he will not be caught.
Hand tail.
There shouldn't be, there shouldn't be... Li Shan was thinking in his mind. This is also logical. Even if Pei Shiju made it clear, even if Li Shan lost all his power and would not be trusted by Li Yuan, but after all, he had great achievements in protecting him and had Princess Pingyang as his support.
What big problem could go wrong?
But that's all. Will Pei Shiju, who is still suffering from the pain of losing his son in his seventies, be willing to do it?
Of course not!
"Your Majesty, Li Yaoshi, acting Duke of the country, and Li Daozong, the king of Bingzhou, are both worthy of the important task."
Li Shan finally proposed a plan to make peace with Xini. Both of them had sufficient commanding ability. The former was a direct descendant of Li Yuan, and the latter was on good terms with the King of Qin, but was not regarded as a lineage of the King of Qin and also had contacts with the East Palace.
Li Yuan hesitated for a while and shook his head: "Pharmacist and Daozong have not been in office for long..."
Li Shan stopped saying anything, but felt a little suspicious in his heart that the two people were actually different.
It has not been a year since Li Jing took office as the general manager of Daizhou, and everything has just been sorted out. Not to mention that he must stick to Yanmen and protect Shuozhou and even parts of Yunzhou. Generals who are not in charge cannot be left alone, and it is indeed inappropriate to transfer.
But Li Daozong is different. It has been almost two years since he took office as the General Manager of Bingzhou. Although he was transferred from the General Manager of Lingzhou at that time, it doesn't sound good to be transferred back. After all, the General Manager of Bingzhou is the first official in the world to seal the border... But now the establishment of the
The authority of Lingzhou Marching General Manager is not much worse than that of Bingzhou General Manager.
Although he is a little younger, he once took charge of Lingzhou. Considering his political stance, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, should be the most suitable candidate... Li Shan wondered in his heart whether he was implicated by Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun.
?
At that time, Li Xiaogong controlled almost half of the world and had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. However, after being accused of treason, he went to the capital and became idle. From then on, Li Yuan's attitude towards the clan's children began to change... The originally important feudal official
They are all descendants of the clan.
Conquering the world requires the power of a united clan, but since the world has been unified, Li Yuan is more concerned about not letting small clans succeed the big clans... Similar things have happened endlessly in history, and the tyrannical Jin Dynasty was a precedent.
It was confirmed that Qian Jiulong led his troops into Jingzhou and was promoted to the general of Zuojianmen and the title of county magistrate. Some of the troops were led by Sima Qizhou to go north to support Longzhou. Li Shan retreated first, leaving Li Yuan to face the marching general manager.
