A quarter of an hour later, listening to the meaningless words of the old man with a long white beard below, Li Shan yawned in boredom, waved his hand and said, "Isn't it just a prisoner exchange?"
"It's not the first time either."
"You will release the King of Xiangyi and the Duke of Pingyuan County, and release them alone... What are their names?"
Zhang Wenguan on the side twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Li Zhengbao, Xin Xiu'er."
"Yes, it's these two people." Li Shan sneered: "As for those nonsense about not wanting to fight, there is no need to talk about it."
"Your Highness is wrong." Lu Jilan cupped his hands and said: "The two countries are constantly attacking, the people are dying, and there are heavy casualties. Your Highness's nickname is Huairen, how can you bear to see the people in distress?"
"Hahaha!" Li Shan laughed loudly, "That's a big mistake!"
"This is not a war between the two countries. The Liang army occupied one county in Shuofang, so they called themselves emperor. Now they occupy two or three prefectures in the pass. Isn't it ridiculous to think that they can compete with the Tang Dynasty for a while?"
"I didn't ask you to kneel down and reply. It's already a mercy of the lonely king."
"Master Liang is a ferocious man, without the spirit of a king. In small cases, rats and dogs steal, and in big cases, whales devour tigers. But he does not understand the general trend. It is the so-called Yelang who is arrogant."
It's so disrespectful. Everyone said that Master Liang is a rat and a dog. Seeing Lu Jilan blushing and trying to refute, Li Shan sneered and said, "Isn't it true?"
"The two Khans Dubu and Tuli joined hands and led an army of more than 100,000 people southward. They defeated it with a single attack and beheaded nearly 50,000 people. Now Tuli Khan is powerful, and Liang Shidu was previously attached to Dubu Khan. Could it be that
Do you expect them to put aside their old grudges again and join hands for the second time to help Liangshidu fight against the heavenly soldiers?"
There was a slight sweat on Lu Jilan's forehead. When the battle report came to Lingzhou that day, Master Liang's face turned pale, and all his generals were frightened. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Pass was still in their hands and the Tang army did not go north, they would have probably withdrawn.
Li Shan looked at the old man with disdain, turned around and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to expel Master Liang. I also ask Duke Jiang Guo to return to the court to report to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty. He will send Liang Li, the general manager of Yanzhou, to attack Wancheng along the straight road of Qin, and then order the king of Huai'an to choose
A general led his army from Liangzhou to attack Lingzhou, how could the Liang division resist?"
Chen Shuda nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness's strategy will be revealed clearly. Please make your decision."
Lu Jilan was famous for his poetic talent in the Sui Dynasty, but he actually had no ability and knew nothing about military matters. In fact, Li Shan was just trying to intimidate him.
There is still a certain possibility that Liang Li, the general manager of Yanzhou, will send troops to Shuofang County, but in fact, Yanzhou currently has insufficient troops. Because there are wars in Yanzhou all year round and the soldiers dare to fight, a large number of troops have been mobilized, and they are all under Li Shan's command now.
When Li Shantong's army was stationed in Yuanzhou, Liang Li should strictly guard the defense line and beware of Liang divisions detouring to attack... Attacking Tongwan City with light troops would expose the weakest belly, which is a taboo for military strategists.
So what Li Shan said was only a theoretical possibility.
As for Liangzhou, it is even more impossible. This area was ruled by Li Gui in the early years and returned to the Tang Dynasty in the second year of Wude. Because there were many barbarians in the Han Dynasty, and it snowed heavily on the grassland last year, many tribes went south. There are many Tuyuhun, Qibi, Sijie, and Uighurs in the territory.
tribes, which made Datang's control over Liangzhou quite weak.
The Tang army wanted to use Liangzhou to attack Liangshidu in Lingzhou. This was almost impossible. Even if all the tribes got out of the way, Li Shentong would not dare to go.
"I have a benevolent heart, but I also sympathize with the people, but this is not a reason for a truce." Li Shan said loudly: "This war started in Liangshidu, but it will not end in Liangshidu!"
"Your Highness..." Lu Jilan still wanted to fight to the death. Although the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, after all, he occupied Lingzhou, Huizhou and most of Yuanzhou, so there was still some capital to negotiate a truce.
Li Shan interrupted loudly: "The sage once said, don't let others snore on the side of the bed!"
Lu Jilan finally closed his mouth. The reason was so good that he was speechless. Huangfu Zhong, who was standing in the corner, felt in his heart that the King of Handan would be able to regain the three states with his bravery and heroism. If he could help
It's beneficial, and it may be able to protect the lintel from falling.
"Mr. Jiang Guo." Li Shan turned sideways and said, "If all the Liang masters surrender to the Tang Dynasty, will your majesty allow it?"
"Xu." Chen Shuda answered simply and neatly.
"Will Your Majesty punish me?"
"You should follow the example of Rui Guogong Yuan Junzhang, be granted the title of Duke, and enjoy wealth and honor in peace."
Li Shan continued to ask: "If a general from the Liang Army captures him and surrenders, will there be a reward from the court?"
"There must be rewards, titles and positions."
Li Shan nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Jilan, "Did you hear everything?"
Lu Jilan said nothing with a gloomy face, thinking that the King of Handan really lived up to his reputation of disrupting the Turks. Now that Liang Jun is internally unstable, if these words spread to Lingzhou, people will be upset.
Li Shan was too lazy to talk nonsense anymore, and waved his hand and said: "It is possible to exchange prisoners, but in addition to the King of Xiangyi and the Duke of Pingyuan County, we still need Huangfuli."
"Huangfuli?" Lu Jilan was a little surprised, "Is it possible that His Highness has an old relationship with him?"
"It's true. We had an acquaintance with Huating once, and we had a very pleasant conversation." Li Shan smiled and said, "In addition, Duke Jiang Guo also has a friendship with him."
Lu Jilan hesitated for a moment, "This matter has yet to be reported...but now that Huangfu Gong has been appointed as Guyuan County Lieutenant, he is highly regarded by the King of Xia."
King Xia is referring to Liang Shidu’s cousin Liang Luoren.
"Then tell Liang Luoren and send him back to Huangfuli." Li Shan snorted, "Otherwise, if Guyuan is broken one day, King Daogu will show no mercy!"
Cui Xin couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the corner. The expressionless Huangfuzhong lowered his head to avoid the gazes of many people.
"No wonder!" Zhang Wenguan muttered in a low voice.
Now everything was connected, and even Cui Xin understood it. No wonder Huangfuzhong had repeatedly urged the Tang army to send troops, and even put his father Huangfuli in danger. It turned out that Huangfuli had surrendered to the enemy.
They both surrendered to the enemy, but Huangfuli and Li Xuande were completely different.
Li Xuande was originally the magistrate of Baiquan County. The enemy was besieging the city and it was difficult to resist and had to surrender. However, Huangfuli only became an official after Liang Jun captured Guyuan County. To put it bluntly, Huangfuli, the Guyuan County Lieutenant, was the Guyuan of Liang State.
County Captain, the meaning of this period is very different.
Although Liang Shidu seized several states in the northwest of Guanzhong twice within a few months, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they would be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty. What's more, with this Turkic defeat, Liang Shidu had no confidence.
In this case, Huangfuli, who was recruited by Master Liang and became an official, is likely to become a typical example. What's more terrible is that even if there are more than one similar example of Huangfuli, there is no one in Lingzhou, Huizhou, and Yuanzhou who can
A distinguished family comparable to Huangfu.
This also means that after Liang Shidu is expelled in the future, Huangfu Li will be held accountable. It is hard to say what kind of accountability there will be in the court, but it is certain that the reputation of the Huangfu family will plummet.
Li Shan waved his hand to repel Lu Jilan, and waved Huangfuzhong to come forward. After a long time, he sighed: "It's not easy for you either."
This simple sentence made Huangfu Zhong burst into tears.
