Well, that's about it, that's what Lu Jilan thought. This high-spirited King of Handan of the Tang Dynasty didn't take Liang Jun seriously at all... This is too arrogant!
You know, most of Yuanzhou is still in the hands of Liang Jun!
"It's good luck. With such heavy snow, Liang Luoren must have breathed a sigh of relief." Li Shan took a piece of frozen tofu and took a bite. "What did Master Liang say?"
"It's true that Huangfu Guangpu doesn't want to leave Guyuan." Lu Jilan bowed slightly, "Your Majesty is willing to send Duan Decao and Li Shenfu back."
"Not enough." Li Shan threw down his chopsticks and looked around, "Your Majesty raised troops from Jinyang, took Guanzhong as his foundation, and swept all directions. He destroyed the Western Qin Dynasty and captured Longyou, defeated Li Gui to capture Liangzhou, defeated Liu Wu and Zhou Gu in the east of the river, and later the King of Qin conquered the Central Plains.
We captured the two kings in battle and established the power to unify the world, but we just sat back and watched the Liang masters occupy Shuofang, why?"
In terms of administrative region, Li and Tang followed the former Sui Dynasty, and Shuofang County should actually be affiliated with Guannai Road.
Wen Yanbo said slowly: "It's nothing more than Turks."
"Yes, there was Chuluo first, and then there was Jieli. A few months ago, the Liang division was defeated, and there was Tuli. Dubu sent two troops to help." Li Shan shook his head and said, "But in the battle of Jingzhou, the Turks
After a great defeat, the civil strife in Wuyuan County continues, and the foundation of the Liang division is no longer there."
"You don't think about how to survive, and you don't think about how to inherit the family, but you want to use Yuanzhou as the base to compete with the Tang Dynasty. How ridiculous!"
Lu Jilan's face was livid, and his shoulders were all white. He was still standing under the eaves, with rolling snowflakes thinly piled on his shoulders.
"I'm too lazy to talk about it anymore. He, Master Liang, is going to die... but are all the generals under his command willing to accompany him to the underworld?" Li Shan sneered: "Sending back Huangfu's loyal wife and children, and the previously captured soldiers, this is the end of the matter.
until."
Lu Jilan breathed a sigh of relief, this was an acceptable condition, but he raised it in his heart and couldn't help but said: "I've heard for a long time that the king of Handan is estranged..."
"Hahaha!" Li Shan laughed loudly, "The Ashina clan has been in civil strife since the beginning of its rise under Rouran's feet. For more than a hundred years, they have been attacking each other endlessly. Is it possible that Jieli Khan can fight against
Has Tuli Khan become one?"
"Could it be that without Gu, Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan could be as close as brothers?"
"I said that all Liang divisions will be defeated. Liang Junjun's heart is unstable. Is it wrong to say that?"
Dou Gui chuckled and said: "Following the trend and using time will lead to the great road. Your Highness will acquire the three tastes of the art of war."
"Today is the fifth day of the lunar month, before December 20th, send the people here." Li Shan picked up the wine cup and took a sip, "Master Liang has released so many prisoners of war, Gubian has sent back so many prisoners of war, Li Zhengbao and Xin Li'er
Exchange with King Xiangyi, Duan Decao, Huangfu Zhong, his wife and children."
After Lu Jilan retreated, Li Shan looked at the corner and asked, "How?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." Huangfu Zhong bowed to the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold ground.
"No matter what the reason is for your father, he will eventually surrender to the enemy and become an official." Li Shan said solemnly: "If you want to keep the lintel of the Huangfu family from falling..."
"I am willing to do my best to help His Highness defeat the enemy." Huangfuzhong said loudly: "If there is any disagreement, please take care of your wife and children."
The others didn't think anything of it, but Dou Gui raised his eyebrows and looked at Huangfuzhong first, and then looked deeply at Li Shan... The cold-tempered general heard the implication.
In these days, Li Shan valued Huangfu Zhong very much, and often took him with him, but he did not confer any duties, and he never even mentioned the war in Yuanzhou. Until today... he clearly pointed out that Huangfu Li's life and death were unpredictable, but his reputation
It's all mourning. If you, Huangfuzhong, want to preserve your family's reputation, you must help me regain Yuanzhou.
Why didn’t I mention it until today?
Because Lu Jilan agreed to the condition of releasing Huangfu Zhong's wife and children... Dou Gui would inevitably think that after all Huangfu Li surrendered to the enemy, if Huangfu Zhong was really going to be used, Li Shan would have to rely on him, and Huangfu Zhong's wife and children
Just rely on it.
Obviously, Huangfuzhong himself was aware of it, so he said such words as "Your Highness, please take care of your wife and children."
Li Shan chuckled a few times, "How old are you?"
"Five years old."
"Would you like to take the lonely king as your teacher?"
Huangfu Zhong was overjoyed and prostrated himself on the ground again, "If His Highness favors you, it will be a great blessing for the entire Huangfu family."
"So, there is no need to think too much." Li Shan took Huangfuzhong in his arms and said softly: "You are not needed to charge into the battle, guide the road, or make plans, but if we want to regain Guyuan, you must be the one."
Li Shan said this sincerely. The chess piece Huangfu Zhong may not seem important, but the power of the Huangfu family in Yuanzhou is deeply rooted and has spread to too many places. The three religions and nine streams are everywhere.
These days, while Li Shan secretly sent people to inquire, he often asked Huangfuzhong, and learned a lot... A rough plan gradually took shape in his mind, and Huangfuzhong was a key part of it.
Of course, there are still too many things that need to be considered whether the plan should be implemented and whether it can be implemented, and it needs to be modified at any time according to the situation.
Li Kai's eyes on the side were a little strange, but he remembered clearly that Li Shan had accepted a disciple before...Yuan Junzhang's son Yuan Xiaozheng.
When he was in Dai County, Li Shan often taught Yuan Xiao what to do, but since Yuan Junzhang came to the court, I heard that even if he lived in Sun Moon Lake, Li Shan would hardly be seen.
Everything went smoothly. Li Shan sent his bodyguard back to Beijing to report, and with Li Yuan's permission, the formal prisoner exchange began.
On December 10, Liang Luoren, Xu Huangfuzhong's wife Liu and their five-year-old son left Guyuan, and Li Shan sent Wang Junhao to accompany Huangfuzhong to greet them.
On December 15, Su Dingfang personally led the army and confronted Liang Jun twenty-five miles east of Guyuan County, exchanging Li Zhengbao and Xin Lier for Li Shenfu and Duan Decao.
On December 16, Liang Luoren released more than a thousand prisoners of the Tang Army, and Su Dingfang released the same number of prisoners of the Liang Army according to the number... What was a bit funny was that when the selection was held that day, many prisoners of the Liang Army refused to go back.
Think about it, although Shuofang County has an important geographical location, it is very poor. Even though Liang Division has been repeatedly defeated at the hands of Li Daozong, Yang Shidao, and Duan Decao over the years, they still send troops every year. In fact, it is not to capture the city, but to grab things.
Property and food.
If these Liang Jun prisoners still have family members in Shuofang County, they still want to go back. If they don’t have any family members... they may not have enough food to eat in the prison camp. What are they going to do?
Go back and starve?!
Although the principles are different, the thinking is the same. After the exchange, General Liang Jun, Li Zhengbao and Xin Zhuer, occasionally glanced at each other. They both felt guilty and wanted to pry into the other's inner thoughts.
Can Master Liang really wait until the Turks come to help again?
Can Master Liang really defeat Guanzhong?
Li Zhengbao and Xin Li'er no longer believed it... The King of Handan analyzed everything clearly that day, and there was no luck in their minds.
What should be done?
What should be done?
What would he choose?
Their eyes met again, and Li Zhengbao licked his dry lips, feeling very annoyed. It would have been better if the King of Handan had persuaded everyone to surrender that day... Since then, he and Xin Li'er have never had any conversation about the war.
