Almost exactly as Zhang Shigui expected, the garrisons along the Yellow River had many orders, and there was no unified command at all, and it was impossible for Li Yuan to hand over such a large army to one person, unless it was his own personal expedition.

And the consequence of this is that when Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was there, the crown prince Li Jiancheng stood still in Tongguan, and sat and watched Li Shimin and Li Po fight fiercely, like a fisherman who reaped the profits, and finally ended with Li Shimin returning to Beijing to recuperate.

Now, it is the East Palace and the Shaanxi East Dao Xingtai that form a faint opposition, even a person like Li Shenfu who is not very prepared to get involved in the battle for the storage position, has to make a choice here.

The outrageous young man is called Chu Suiliang, who joined the army for the Tiance Mansion Kaicao, and his father Chu Liang now lives in the literary position of the Qin Palace, and has won the trust of Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

Both father and son are from Xue Ju, and they are also from the remnants of the Southern Dynasty, their ancestral home is Qiantang, Hangzhou, and later settled in Yangzhai, Henan.

The father and son took some detours, and now they are under the door of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and they are looking forward to the king of Qin, and they will not make excuses to the people of the East Palace.

What others can't say, it comes from his mouth, and it is a matter of course.

With him here, in fact, it has already explained Li Shenfu's attitude in disguise.

And Chu Suiliang is not very old, and his official position is not high at this time, but he was a general in Xue Ju's place before, and he was reused by Xue's father and son like his father, and he was not an unknown person.

Among Xue Juchen, the father and son are known for their literary talents, but they are proficient in military affairs, and they are typical civil and military all-rounders in these years.

At this time, Chu Liang had returned to Chang'an with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, leaving only Chu Suiliang and others to serve in front of the army, among which only Chu Suiliang was valued by Li Shenfu and often took it with him.

In this way, it is understandable, this person is just next to him, but he can speak well, his eyebrows and eyes are picked, because he is young, so whether it is articles or talents, official experience, etc., he is inferior to his father, but he is empathetic, but he has a talent bonus.

Otherwise, even if Li Shenfu was friendly with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and knew the meaning of these people left by the king of Qin in the army, it was impossible to immediately select Chu Suiliang to join the army for Hu Cao, and put the grain, grass and baggage and other matters into the hands of such a young man, in fact, he had already accepted this person into his shogunate.

For example, now, without prior discussion, Chu Suiliang was the first to come out and accuse the East Palace, which was not only because of the unfriendly relationship between King Qin and the East Palace, but another important reason was that Chu Suiliang guessed the mind of the King of Xiangyi County, and was very sure that his guess was right.

Did Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, really think so? In fact, it doesn't matter, he has always done things well, but if you think that the king of Xiangyi is a good old man who doesn't want to offend people, then it's too wrong.

Among the nobles of Kansai, there are few "honest people", because such characters will soon be eliminated in the process of promotion.

At this time, Li Shenfu was silent with a face full of embarrassment, allowing the quarrel in the hall to get louder and louder.

What does this mean, Li Shenfu knows very well, the East Palace is not an empty word, when King Qin is here, there must not be so many noises here, but as soon as King Qin goes, as long as the prince is involved, there will be more different voices at once.

Seeing that everyone was getting angry, Li Shenfu finally waved his hand helplessly, "What everyone said makes sense, so let King Ben think about it and make sense again." ”

Tongzhou Assassin Shi Huang Pu Ao was a little unwilling, he was a subordinate of the East Palace, he had just taken office, he was no longer a newcomer to officialdom, and he should not be breathless, but he was stimulated a few times by Chu Suiliang's harsh words.

At this time, he was a little impatient, and before Li Shenfu's words fell, he followed closely and said: "King, the military situation is like fire, how can you ......?"

He must be in a hurry to find a draw, no matter how "good-tempered" Li Shenfu is, he will not allow people to be so presumptuous, just like when Li Po was in the party some time ago, the dignity of the superior is not to be offended, and anyone who wants to make up their minds for them has to weigh it carefully.

Otherwise, Confucianism would not have added so much content to the people's hearts and more and more strict norms of etiquette, which not only taught you how to behave and do things, but also taught you how to be an official.

If you don't grasp the proportions well, you can't be an official, and sometimes you will have to worry about your life.

Li Shenfu seemed to glance at Huang Pu Ao casually, but like a needle prick, this Tongzhou assassin immediately lowered his head, "Let's all go down, the enemy is current, what else is there to quarrel about?" As the head of the march in eastern Shaanxi, this king has his own plans, and if he says anything else, he will be engaged in military law. ”

Everyone got up and left one after another, and Li Shenfu only left Feng Li behind.

"His Royal Highness wants to transfer troops to Tongguan, which is indispensable, but this king has thought about it again and again, and it is quite troublesome, and he also asks General Feng to solve his doubts."

Feng Li was very calm, because before coming to Feng Yi, he had expected this trip, after all, the transfer of troops was a major event, and Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, was not a subordinate of the East Palace......

At this time, he finally had the opportunity to talk to Li Shenfu in private, Feng Li's spirits couldn't help but perk, and he also admired the rules and regulations of this Xiangyi County King.

First through the mouths of the people to show their intentions, and then when they speak, so that both sides have more room to maneuver, the general meaning is, you see, this is the situation, if you want to transfer troops to you to persuade the people, and you are going to cause me a lot of trouble, you know?

Feng Li pondered the taste, and the slight unhappiness he had before disappeared, and at this time he clenched his fists and said respectfully: "The king of the county is polite, that is, if there is something to ask, the general will know that everything is endless." ”

Li Shenfu smiled slightly and said: "Tongguan, Yongfengcang, Feng Yi, and Hancheng are all key points in the east, and they are close to the Jingshi, once there is a loss of ......"

Speaking of this, Li Shenfu shook his head, sighed and said, "The general is familiar with military affairs, can you tell me that compared with Feng Yi and Han Cheng, Tongguan is still safe?" ”

Feng Li was stunned, he didn't mention so many reasons for shirking, but he talked about military strategy, which surprised him a little, but the problem was that what Li Shenfu said was indeed the crux of the problem.

If you don't answer well, the hat that doesn't care about the overall situation will be buttoned down, and this big hat was originally intended for Li Shenfu to be worn by the East Palace.

After thinking about it, Feng Lisi finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Li Ding'an has already taken Fengling Ferry, Hongnong and other places, Feng Yi, and Hancheng have the Yellow River to rely on, is Tongguan safe?" Hehe, why does the county king knowingly ask? ”

Li Shenfu stroked his beard, his eyes finally sharpened, and the words have come to this point, you still want to use the momentum of the East Palace to suppress me?

At this time, Li Shenfu finally had a little anger in his heart, he was able to make friends with King Qin, and if he was about to leave the prince's side, it had actually proved that he was not used to seeing some of the prince's actions.

What Feng Li said made him even more disgusted.

"Is General Feng saying that with 20,000 soldiers and horses, the prince can lead his troops out of the customs and drive Li Ding'an out of Henan? If this is the case, the king is willing to be reprimanded, and help the prince first. ”

Feng Li rode the tiger hard, thought about it again and again, and didn't dare to make a promise to the county king, but said vaguely: "What the county king is worried about, the last general will be carefully presented to His Royal Highness...... The last general felt that the various departments on the shore were quite close to each other, and it was cheap to come and go...... If Feng Yi and Hancheng have something, does the king of the county think that His Royal Highness will sit back and watch? ”

Li Shenfu listened, and said in his heart, that is not accurate, that day the King of Qin and Li Ding'an fought fiercely on the shore, and your Tongguan defenders have strong troops, but how much strength did they have?

It's just that this is the way it is, Li Shenfu is not Li Shimin, the king of Qin, after all, and he has never thought of tearing his face with the prince of the East Palace, even if he only cares about internal strife with the people of the East Palace, regardless of the overall situation, he doesn't like some of the practices.

But Li Shenfu thought that he could see it very clearly, Li Jiancheng was the crown prince after all, and as a member of the Li clan, it was very dangerous for him to get too close to any of his two nephews, because that would make his cousin very unhappy.

So for a long time, whether it was Li Xiaogong in Shu, or Li Daozong in Lingzhou, or even the two of them, even if they were inclined, no one dared to stand firmly on a certain side and help others stand on their feet.

Unlike those subordinates who want to make great contributions, after Li Yuan became emperor, the Li family was among the royal family, and they were naturally noble, no matter who became the emperor, they had to be reused, so why let themselves stand in the unexpected?

This is actually the advantage of appointing relatives, and they are some of the most "public-minded" people under Li Yuan's rule.

Just like now, Li Shenfu will reason with the people sent by Li Jiancheng, instead of deliberately blocking the crown prince Li Jiancheng because he is close and friendly to Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

And Feng Li was a little unreasonable, and Li Shenfu also endured it, because he knew that Li Jiancheng was indeed in trouble, and he would not make any trouble with him, the head of the march of the Eastern Shaanxi Road, and it was too late to win him over, even if the people below were at a loss, let's calculate today's account book later, but it can't be counted on the prince's head.

At this point, Li Shenfu didn't want to say anything to Feng Li, his posture was enough, and the reason was clear, you are still entangled, this Feng Li is slightly unbearing, it is very ordinary, it is estimated that the one who is better than everyone can only be a loyal.

Li Shenfu has seen a lot of such people, and now the most famous in Chang'an is General Zuo Wuwei, Jiang Baoyi, the prince of Yongan County, that person is very incompetent, but he has to be reused by the emperor, isn't it because of a loyalty that is rare?

"Okay, even if the prince insists on transferring troops to Tongguan, this king will not fight each other...... It is better to order the emperor to lead 5,000 soldiers back with General Feng, and then if he gets the permission of the court, it will not be too late to transfer troops. ”

Feng Li pondered for a long time, looked at Li Shenfu's face, and finally arched his hand: "The county king understands the righteousness, takes into account the overall situation, and today's feelings of mutual assistance, I want to come to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must remember it in his heart." ”

Li Shenfu smiled, and there was no taste in his smile......
