Although Zhang Wenguan was only seventeen years old, he had extraordinary talents. He was keenly aware that in this battle for the right to inherit the throne, which had been going on for many years, the King of Handan, who was closely related to him, would become the key to influencing the balance.
figure.
The most important point is that Zhang Wenguan was entrusted by Li Shan to gallop into the capital. At Li Shiji's private residence, he met the King of Qin and many advisers from the Tiance Mansion. Therefore, he had been speculating about one thing. Brother Huai Ren might have joined the King of Qin.
Under his command.
Of course, unlike Li Kai, Zhang Wenguan couldn't be sure. After all, Li Shan had a reason to look for the King of Qin back then... The King of Qi had a large army, and it was impossible to count on the prince. At that time, Hebei Province had not yet been captured.
Most of the governors and general managers of each state were direct descendants of the King of Qin, such as Tian Liuan and Qi Shanxing, not to mention Li Daoxuan, King of Huaiyang, who had been under the King of Qin for a long time.
Later, Zhang Wenguan witnessed with his own eyes how Li Shan reached his current position step by step, but no matter how he analyzed it, it was difficult to see any clues that Li Shan was related to the King of Qin.
Maybe he was overthinking it. After all, during the Shandong War, Brother Huairen was still unknown. He only asked him to ask for help after hearing that he had a good relationship with Li Shiji... The silent Zhang Wenguan listened to his brother's conversation with Guo Xiaoke and Yang Ze, but he still felt in his heart
Suspicious, but one thing is certain, Li Shan does not want to be involved in the fight for the heir.
"Yesterday Chang'an ordered Li Qianyou to mobilize the civilians. According to what he said, hundreds of men were naked and beating drums, and the drums were loud. The King of Handan took the lead in charging into the battle. The Turks were in chaos. Before they could reach the battle, Dubu Khan had already fled north."
Yang Ze clicked his tongue a few times, and then said: "On that day, His Highness ordered people to hold the Chinese army's flag on the left and right. If they retreat even a little bit, they will be killed...The person holding the flag is Liu Rengui."
"This man is brave." Guo Xiaoke nodded and said, "When we went out to investigate that day, only a few dozen of the 300 horsemen returned."
I have already read the relevant battle reports. For example, Zhang Wenxi and Zhang Wenguan were still a little confused, while Guo Xiaoke and Yang Ze were both veterans on the battlefield. They associated the incident of Liu Rengui going out to investigate and quickly figured out the key to this battle.
.
"It seems like a coincidence, but it is definitely not a coincidence." Yang Ze chuckled, "Just by looking at the withdrawal of the Turkic troops stationed in Liupan Mountain, the King of Handan understood the plan of Dubu Khan."
Guo Xiaoke shook his head and said: "As soon as we arrived, we attacked fiercely without setting up a camp. It was the King of Handan who lured Dubu Khan into planning."
Zhang Wenguan thought for a while before reacting, and couldn't help but laugh: "Ashina She'er has suffered enough losses under Brother Huairen, and he has no memory."
Yang Ze also smiled, "The Turks have retreated, and the war in Yuanzhou is coming... Brother Xiaoke, are you going to Baiquan County?"
"Let's go together." Guo Xiaoke nodded, "I just received a letter from the capital. His Majesty ordered Duke Jiang to leave the capital to work for the army."
"Zaifu Laojun..." Yang Ze sighed and said, "It's so grand...but the King of Handan can also afford it."
If the Turks could break through the Jingzhou defense line, they would probably reach Jingzhao and drink from the Wei River. At the critical moment, Handan King Li Shan turned the tide, defeated the Turks, and beheaded tens of thousands. Such military exploits could indeed afford to slaughter the auxiliary army.
During the Wude years in the original time and space, there were only two times when the army was slaughtered and assisted. The first time was the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang, when Xiao Yu came out of the capital to appease the King of Qin, and the second time was when Liu Heitao rebelled, and Prince Li Jiancheng captured and killed him, and Pei Ji went there in person.
Hebei Labor Army.
In terms of scale, the Great Victory of Jingzhou cannot be compared with the Battle of Hulao in Luoyang, and Li Shan's status cannot be compared with that of the prince, but in the sense of fighting against the grassland tribes, it is also worthy of the title of Zaifu Laojun.
Zhang Wenguan blinked, thinking that he would follow him this time to learn more... He no longer expected to be admitted to the Jinshi Department. Well, he was not the only one in a similar situation, such as Li Zhaode, Wang Renbiao, Fang Yizhi and others.
This thought.
Well, Jinshi subjects mainly look for poetic talent... In this regard, Li Shan's blow to his friends was really hard.
Since we are not planning to take the Jinshi examination, the scientific examination is actually not that difficult for the children of these aristocratic families... As long as they are not stubborn enough to take the Scholarship examination, even if they want to take the examination, the governors and governors of various states will not agree. Once they do not
If they are on the list, they will all be reprimanded.
Other Mingjing subjects, Mingfa subjects, Mingshu subjects, and Mingshu subjects are relatively not difficult. Thirty-year-old Mingjing subjects, fifty-year-old Jinshi.
In fact, in history, the two prime ministers Zhang Wenguan and Li Zhaode entered the officialdom with Ming Jingke.
Zhang Wenguan was still thinking there, and when he saw Li Shande complaining a few words... Li Shande forced the dog, don't cause trouble in this life, Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Shangyin, Du Mu all ran to take the economics exam.
After the great victory in Jingzhou, the atmosphere in the already stable Longzhou also calmed down. Guo Xiaoke and Yang Ze organized their troops and horses to prepare for the possibility of attacking at any time. The scouts reported that after the Turks withdrew their troops, the Liang army also retreated, but near Guyuan County
There are still heavy troops stationed.
And Luo Yi also made a decision... He didn't see it as a good show. The King of Handan really defeated the Turks, which made Luo Yi very disappointed.
"Sixteenth Guards?"
"Brother Yanchao was originally the General of Zuo Yiwei, and later moved to the General of Youjianmen." Er Zhuhuan said in a low voice: "When he returns to the court this time, he should be appointed as the General of Sixteenth Guards."
Luo Yi nodded slightly, of course he understood the mystery. He went to the imperial court a few years ago and was appointed as the general of Zuo Yiwei. Later, he was promoted to the general of Youjianmen with the aid of the East Palace. Although he went out to be the general manager of Hezhou, he did not dismiss his post.
Until more than a month ago, the general of the right prison gate above Luo Yi was suddenly dismissed and replaced by Li Yuan's old friend and former Sui minister Zhang Jin... Luo Yi also knew that this was caused by the Battle of Tiantai Mountain. Who made the prince feel guilty?
Where is the ghost?
That was also the most nervous moment for Luo Yi. If His Majesty was easy to change, he would have no other choice but to raise troops. But fortunately, there was a letter from Beijing stating that His Majesty intended to call him back to the court.
With thousands of elites, the base of Youzhou, and the title of county king, Luo Yi will definitely serve as the general of the Sixteenth Guards when he returns to the court...unless Li Yuan has already intended to change his position.
Er Zhuhuan explained: "Now the twelve guards are all intact, but the only one who is in charge of the government is Rengui..."
Luo Yi understood everything now. No wonder the prince sent letters again and again and sent Er Zhuhuan twice to call him back to the capital. It turned out that it was General Zuo Qianniuwei who was on Guan Guogong Ren Gui's body.
There are four generals in the Beiya Forbidden Army, Su Dingfang, the left prison gate general, Zhang Jin, the right prison gate general, Dou Gui, the right Qianniu guard general, and Ren Gui, the left Qianniu guard general.
Er Zhuhuan lowered his voice and said, "The prince is rewarded. Duke Guan was defeated and committed suicide."
Ren Gui's death left a vacancy among the originally intact Sixteen Guards generals. When Luo Yi returns to the court, he will definitely be able to take over without any surprises. This is equivalent to the East Palace driving a nail into the Bei Ya Forbidden Army.
