I heard Zhang Wenguan complaining vaguely, and even he himself was busier than Li Shan.
Li Shan glared at Zhang Wenguan in a funny way, "I just mentioned to Brother Demou that military strategy is not Director Zhigui's specialty."
Li Kai said seriously: "The commander of an army puts the overall situation first and the strategy second. Why should he be distracted by trivial matters?"
From the Great Battle of Yanmen to the three battles of Guji Town, Yunzhou and Cangtou River, and then after arriving in Baiquan County this time, I asked my father and uncle in detail about the battle of Jingzhou and the battles under the command of Li Shan and Li Jing.
Li Kai clearly discovered that Li Shan and Li Jing were two completely different types of commanders.
Li Jing has been familiar with military affairs since he was a child, and has unique insights into military types and formations. When he is proficient in handling military affairs, he almost doesn't need to think about it and can handle it casually. He pays attention to military drills and formation changes on weekdays.
Because Li Shan was a semi-monk, he was not good at this aspect, so he was assisted by generals such as Su Dingfang in every battle. He himself paid more attention to the details of the war, boosted morale, judged the fighting opportunities, and had the courage to rush into battle himself.
Li Kai only had a rough idea, but Li Shan knew it well. His military talent was far from being comparable to that of Li Yaoshi. The other party was proficient in the art of war and was one of the top ten famous generals throughout the ages and even in future generations. His talent points were almost full.
...The top ten may be a bit underestimated, maybe it can break into the top five or even the top three.
As for himself, it cannot be said that he has no talent at all, but he relies more on the memory of his previous life to judge the general trend and use this as a basis to formulate general strategies. However, Li Shan feels that just because he is not familiar with specific military affairs, he may be slightly better at observing details.
One chip.
At this time, the hot pot was already boiling. Li Kai put a chopstick of beef slices into the bowl and said with a smile: "This great victory in Jingzhou has not yet been awarded by the Lieutenant General. But my fourth uncle is very lucky and is the governor of Jinyuan."
Zhang Wenguan was in charge of documents and was the most familiar with it. He added: "There is also Li Dewu, the captain of Chang'an County, who was ordered to Chang'an in Jin Dynasty."
Li Kai's expression froze. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Li Shan's expression was as usual, and he felt relieved.
If Li Shan were a native, he might have mixed feelings in his heart, but now Li Shan is a time traveler and can only try his best to hold back laughter.
But Zhang Wenguan was still talking, "I heard from the Duke of Wu'an that Li Dewu was interested in the Chang'an Order a few years ago."
"Really?" Li Zhaode was a little surprised. He forgot to chew the frozen tofu in his mouth. It seemed that he had received a vague reminder from Li Shan when he suggested that his father transfer the order to Chang'an.
A few years ago, Li Zhaode thought it was a coincidence, but as Li Shan became famous again and again at such a young age, Li Zhaode felt... is this really a coincidence?
I remember that my father mentioned in his spare time in the study a few days ago that the King of Handan was very scheming, strategist, and very thoughtful. This great victory in Jingzhou had the Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan playing tricks on him from beginning to end.
"Speaking of which, it was my sixteenth brother who suggested that when my fourth uncle became an official in Chang'an, it was my sixteenth brother who suggested it." Li Kai talked about old events with a normal expression, "Does Huairen still remember that year at Xiaoqing's house?"
"What?" Li Shan blinked. He didn't care about Li Qianyou now. Li Zhaode knew the inside story, because Li Qianyou was not actually close to the King of Qi. He was far less Li Yuanji's confidant than Rong Jiusi, but he could only cooperate with Li Yuanji.
Keep on performing.
"Even when the cooking utensils were delivered to Xiaoqing's house, the sixth brother hired the craftsman who would be the supervisor to make them." Li Zhaode added, "Later, the cooking utensils were sent to the restaurant, and they are still in use today."
Li Shan suddenly realized, "It was the time when I sent Qiong Yaosha!"
"That's right." Li Kai said with a smile: "Huairen is just starting out and makes Duke Keming return without success. He really shows mercy to the villagers."
Zhang Wenguan interjected: "Is that the silent chant?"
"Hahaha……"
"At that time, Chang'an ordered Wang Xu to go to Shandong with the King of Qin. Huairen was afraid that he would be punished when he returned to the capital, so..." Li Zhaode glanced at Li Kai and remembered something, "It seems that the sixth brother mentioned that Wang Xu had made meritorious service or was promoted? "
"Yeah." Li Kai nodded.
Li Zhaode breathed a sigh of relief and secretly cursed himself for being careless. At that time, Li Shan was still unknown and hopeless, and he and Li Kai were not close friends, so it was naturally impossible for him to know about Wang Xu's meritorious service in the Shandong War.
Li Kai glanced at Li Shan. In fact, he had investigated this matter afterwards, mainly because he knew about the relationship between Li Shan and Li Dewu... It couldn't be a coincidence. Li Shan must have known that Li Dewu was interested in the Chang'an Order, so he used his rhetoric skills. The Chang'an Order was introduced, and then transferred to Li Qianyou through Li Zhaode, allowing Li Qianyou to take action in advance and snatch the Chang'an Order that was dark under the lamp.
But there are two points that have puzzled Li Kai to this day. One is how Li Shan knew that Li Dewu was interested in the Chang'an Order. This matter was mentioned by Li Keshi only occasionally by Li Qianyou.
If you intend to transfer in the officialdom, the chosen position is unlikely to be leaked to others.
Second, how did Li Shan know the details of the Luoshui victory... On that day, Chang'an ordered Wang Xu to lead his troops to block the upper reaches of the Luoshui River and release water to destroy Liu Heitai's battle formation, thus achieving great success.
Li Kai was very sure that Li Shan had nothing to do with Tiance Mansion at that time. After all, the King of Qin and his advisers and generals were still in Shandong at that time.
And Li Kai was also very sure that Li Shan had little contact with officials in the DPRK and China at that time... Otherwise, there would be no need for Li Qianyou to take the Chang'an order, because at that time Li Shan was studying scriptures and preparing to take the Ming Dynasty Economics Examination. This needs to be recommended by the prefecture or county government.
These two questions have been lingering in Li Kai's mind. No less than Li Zhaode, he had more contacts with Li Shan and had been under Li Shan for a long time. He knew that his good friend had deep thoughts and cleverly kept Chang'an Order away from Li Dewu. , it can’t be a coincidence.
After much deliberation, Li Kai also paid attention to the possibility that it might be Yuwen Shiji, but there is also another possibility that Li Shan still has some secrets that are not known to the outside world.
Over the years, Li Kai had a vague feeling that although he and Li Shan hit it off at first sight, he was so quick to reveal all the causes and consequences of his life. Judging from Li Shan's behavior in recent years, wasn't it too easy?
Li Kai could even sense that if there was a problem, it was probably with Zhu who had a strong temperament and looked like a village woman, but was actually showing off her inner qualities.
Madam Zhu was an expert at making tea, and she knew everything from the Sui Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty. When Wang Renbiao mentioned it, he only mentioned the Marquis of Nan'an County. Madam Zhu immediately knew where she came from, and listed her father's, ancestors, and maternal clan. The wife family talked about it without any mistakes.
Li Shan on the side glanced at his friend who had been frowning and thinking. He could actually roughly guess what Li Kai was thinking, but this must not be leaked... Er Zhu Yichen once mentioned that the battle for the heir, regardless of whether it is the crown prince. King Qin still wins. No matter what happens in the future, Li Shan's life experience will not be revealed.
Yes, my scalp feels numb just thinking about it.
Not to mention Cui Xin, just Li Kai and Li Zhaode... Er Zhu Yichen told Li Shan with certainty last year that the Li family in Longxi was the most damaged in the Heyin Incident. Many famous and promising people died.
