Li Jiancheng began to return to the court. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He was in a hurry to return to Chang'an, hoping to catch up with Li Shimin's funeral.
However, before returning to Chang'an, Li Jiancheng still had to make some arrangements for Hebei. He asked Qin Shubao to be called, and very politely beckoned the brother-in-law to sit down.
"This time, thanks to the lives of the soldiers, they finally repelled the Turks. Shu Bao's battle this time is the first achievement. I thought about it, the position of the governor of Hebei Province can no longer be held by the king of Huai'an. You are the fifth brother-in-law, so I will say a word, the king of Huai'an is my uncle, and he was also the first in the clan to raise troops to support, but His Majesty entrusted the king of Huai'an with important responsibilities and trusted him very much, but he lost the battle every time and became a prisoner twice. β
"I can't let him be the governor of Hebei Province anymore, think about it, fifth brother-in-law, you are brave and able to fight, and your martial arts are outstanding, and this time you are even more high, and you won very beautifully. I plan to let you be the governor of Hebei Province, and let Shan Xiongxin be the governor of Jizhou, Cheng Yanjin be the governor of Hengzhou, and Wei Chigong be the governor of Weizhou. β
"In the future, this piece of Hebei will be handed over to the four of you, I don't know what you think?"
Qin Qiong was still immersed in the shock of Li Shimin's siege, and she was not too happy to hear Li Jiancheng reward such a heartfelt official. The governor of Tongzhou was promoted to the governor of Hebei, so he was naturally promoted.
The governor is a third-rank official, and the metropolitan governor is a second-rank military attachΓ©, which is at the level of the prime minister of the three provinces.
"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, but I'm afraid that the minister didn't have the talent to mention some big tasks, and I am afraid of disappointing His Highness."
Li Jiancheng took Qin Qiong's hand and said with a smile, "On selfishness, you are the fifth brother-in-law, on the public, you are the squire of the military department, the assassin of Tongzhou or the general of Yulin." Moreover, this time, you have made a great contribution to the formation of the high and open the way, and you have come to be the governor of the capital, and everyone expects it. Your talents, not to mention. Don't be modest! β
After Qin Qiong responded, Li Jiancheng brought Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, and Shan Xiongxin over.
is still a heart-to-heart gesture, and said a lot of good things to win over.
"I know that you have served under the command of King Qin, but you are also the general of my Tang Dynasty. This time, the king of Qin rushed forward, and he had been surrounded by Tuyuhun, and 10,000 lone troops were encircled. But even if the people of the world really sacrifice their lives for the country, the court and I will not bury your talents. β
Wait a few to step back.
Li Jiancheng couldn't help humming a little song, this feeling was so refreshing.
He remembered when he was a child, in fact, he had a good relationship with Shimin. It's just that the days at that time are gone, and his second brother has long had a bad idea and has always wanted to seize his position.
Shimin, Shimin, you really think that you are the reincarnation of the god of war.
But that's okay, he died on the battlefield, sacrificed his life for the country, and went to a strong rival himself, no matter how much he praised him, anyway, the dead brother is the best brother of the prince.
"Do you think the people of the world have a chance to fight their way out of the encirclement?"
Li Jiancheng did not hide his happiness in front of Wei Zheng and several other henchmen of the East Palace.
Wei Ting shook his head, "Longxi County is just a small city, and there is no danger to defend. The king of Qin only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he still arrived in Longxi, which arrived day and night, and the military horses were tired and the grain and grass were insufficient. Zhang Wenyuan, Xu Jingzong, and Li Shousu took 8,000 newly recruited soldiers and carried grain, grass and ordnance far behind. β
"Longxi City is small, the Qin King has few soldiers, and there are no soldiers after the support, and there is not enough food and grass, this is a mortal situation."
Li Jiancheng chuckled, "I don't know what the people think, but they actually made a military order, and with 10,000 soldiers and horses, they can break through the Tugu Hun with 10,000 soldiers and horses, it's really overwhelming." Also, he actually forced Wen Yuan to join the army, is this a personal vendetta? β
"This is really puzzling, King Qin forced Wen Yuan to join the army, and also made him the head of the right rear army, responsible for escorting grain and grass, which is too strange."
"Maybe he still holds a grudge against Wen Yuan for switching to my East Palace, and wants to take the opportunity to embarrass Wen Yuan. Let Wen Yuan escort the military rations, and then find a reason such as a delay date to cure Wen Yuan's crime. After all, the military can be done by military law, without going through the imperial court. Li Jiancheng said.
Wei Zheng chuckled, "King Qin is indeed a little overbearing, it is reported that when King Qin arrived in Longxi, the Tuyuhun people had already broken Weizhou. Some generals persuaded the King of Qin to retreat, but the King of Qin insisted on defending Longxi. β
Li Jiancheng smiled.
"It's really embarrassing for Wenyuan, a dignified Hanlin bachelor, but he was forced by the people of the world to be the head of the march with a sword."
The order was issued.
Qin Qiong was the governor of Hebei Province, Shan Xiongxin was the governor of Jizhou, Cheng Yanjin was the governor of Hengzhou, and Wei Chigong was the governor of Weizhou.
Wang Junkuo was the acting governor of the state.
Leaving a few generals, Li Jianjun returned to the DPRK.
The army first went south along the Sanggan River to Mozhou, and then along the Hutuo River to Hengzhou, and crossed Taihang from Jingcheng to Taiyuan.
Li Yuanji and Princess Pingyang and other Hedong generals greeted them outside Taiyuan City.
Li Jiancheng greeted the third sister and the fourth brother with a smile, but Li Yuanji was not happy. He leaned into Li Jiancheng's ear and said, "Shimin didn't die in Longxi!" β
Li Jiancheng's smile froze suddenly.
"He's still alive?"
"He's not only alive, he's alive and well."
"How is this possible, doesn't it mean that he is surrounded in Longxi, and he will die?"
"I'll tell you in detail when I enter the city, and I will blame that Zhang San for everything!"
Finally entered the city, Li Jiancheng immediately called Li Yuanji to his side, "You and I will immediately explain in detail what is going on, and also, what does this have to do with Zhang Wenyuan?" β
Li Yuanji said hatefully, "Because the people of the world were going to die, but that Zhang San rescued him from the Ghost Gate." Big brother, are you sure that Zhang San is your person, not the people of the world? β
Li Jiancheng listened to Li Yuanji explain the matter in detail, and after listening to it, his face turned pale.
"Eat inside and out!"
Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and almost wanted to run away.
Originally, Li Shimin was going to die, but Zhang San actually went so desperately to save him, with thousands of newly recruited soldiers, and a large number of grain, grass and ordnance, which actually made him a big Qiang army in Yanhe City, and a bluff under Fuqiang City and Longxi City, scaring Tuguhun away.
In the city of Longxi, which was besieged for seven days and nights, and suffered heavy casualties, seeing that the city was about to be broken, and seeing that Li Shimin was about to die, Zhang San forcibly extended Li Shimin's life.
And after Li Shimin got a chance to breathe, he even took advantage of the good news that they broke the Turks to force Tuguhun to withdraw from the army. Li Shimin not only did not die, but also repelled Tuyuhun and recaptured the lost land in Sizhou!
This is simply unbelievable, he really relied on 10,000 soldiers and horses to regain the lost territory and repel Tuyuhun!
Blame that damn Zhang San for all this!
"I heard that the King of Qin has made Zhang San the assassin and governor of Taozhou, and he also pulled out half of his few soldiers and horses to Zhang San. Big brother, how do you look at this, it's also Zhang San who switched to the second brother again. I really don't know what benefits the second brother promised to this Zhang San, making him work so hard! Or is it that in fact, Zhang San has always been the second brother's person, and he just pretended to vote for the eldest brother before? β
Li Yuanji sneered a few times, "No matter how you look at it, this Zhang San is a person with evil intentions." β
"I'm going to kill him!" Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth.
"Kill? On what grounds did the eldest brother kill him? He's just the hero of a string of amazing victories? Without Zhang San, the King of Qin would be martyred in Longxi City, and without Zhang San, maybe the Tuyuhun people would have hit Guanzhong. In any case, Zhang San has made great contributions to the state this time! β
The more this is the case, the more ugly Li Jiancheng's face becomes.
"It's better to let that Zhang San do this Taozhou thorn history, let him stay in the place where the bird doesn't for the rest of his life, and never come back. When the eldest brother inherits the throne one day, it is not as simple as stepping on a bedbug to execute a Zhang San at that time! β
Li Jiancheng thought for a while, "No, you can't be so cheap for him." This Zhang San, eating inside and out, this is simply King Qin's person, if it weren't for this exposure, I wouldn't have known at all. I will never tolerate being deceived, teased, betrayed by him, I want him to die, immediately! β
"There are two ways, one is to send someone to stab him to death. Second, add an official to him and let him go to crusade against Tuyuhun. β
"Do you have the right people there, send a few people over and pretend to be Tuyuhun assassins to kill him." Li Jiancheng asked.
Li Yuanji smiled, "It's not difficult to find a few assassins, big brother, I'll leave this matter to me." β
"I now wonder if Qin Shubao also pretended to vote for me, and Wei Chigong Shan Xiong Xincheng bit gold, I just awarded them the title of governor."
"Don't worry, now they are only temporarily inspecting the position of Governor, and you can officially appoint a few more Governors to replace them later. As for Qin Qiong, it's really hard to say. β
"Then Qin Qiong will take a look first, but this Zhang San, I want him to die!"
Longright.
In Taozhou City, Zhang Chao looked at the team behind him and sighed.
He sent people to erect signs on the border, so that those Qiang tribes and even Tibetan merchants came to trade, but no one came.
Zhang Chao asked people to inquire about the news, but it turned out that these people wanted to come to do business, but they were worried that the Tang army would retaliate, and would lure them into the city in the name of doing business, and then kill them.
As a last resort, Zhang Chao had to think of a way, organized the Hanhu merchants in Taozhou City, prepared a lot of goods, and then brought them to the border to trade.
"Envoy, we don't have to, do we?" Cui Yi asked, he is now serving as Zhang Chao's pro-military captain.
"A lifeless Taozhou city, what is the point of what we are guarding, and if there is no border market, no merchants, everything we need can only rely on the government to transport it from the rear, which will be very troublesome."
Zhang Chao shook his head and said.
In addition, there is no formal border market, but the demand for trade will still be there, and there will be smuggling gangs at that time. These people are all outlaws, and instead of letting such a group of people appear under their jurisdiction, it is better to bother themselves and reopen this city.
Although it takes a lot of effort, the border market is prosperous again, which is good for everyone.
Although Zhang Chao is only a school inspector and assassin Shi Jiadudu, he also hopes to stand on this post and not have any accidents. (To be continued.) )
