If taken literally, the 'Medicine King' is undoubtedly many ranks higher than the 'Medicine Master'. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
But in fact, Li Yanqing had never heard of Li Duan at all.
Even during the Great Cause years, Li Yanqing had never heard the name Li Duan. It stands to reason that General Zuo Wuwei should be famous. But in the past ten years, this person has been unknown, which is strange.
The eldest grandson Wuji said softly: "Uncle Li is the person of Prince Yin. β
Li Yanqing suddenly realized!
It turned out that Li Duan was following Yang Yong's lineage, so it is no wonder that he was unknown during the Great Cause.
Actually, it's not all.
When everyone sat down, Li Yanqing heard the clues from the introduction of the eldest grandson Wuji. In the twentieth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui deposed the crown prince Yang Yong and renamed Yang Guang as the crown prince. Although Li Duan was Yang Yong's man, he was not greatly impacted.
Because behind Li Duan, there is also a Yang Su.
Therefore, although Yang Yong fell, Li Duan was not affected. Even during the Renshou period, Li Duan also cooperated with Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, to conquer the Turks, and made great achievements. However, after that, Li Duan became seriously ill and had to go home to recuperate. Emperor Wen of Sui passed away at this time, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, occupied Taiyuan and tried to invite Li Duan to help.
Yang Liang was defeated, and Li Duan was affected.
But it was Yang Su who stepped forward to protect Li Duan from prison.
But even so, Yang Guang did not use him again. Li Duan is also very smart, he continues to recuperate at home, and never talks about his comeback. Until Yang Su's death, Yang Guang would not use Li Duan. So Li Duan simply told the old man, and Yang Guang also agreed.
Therefore, the Li Duan brothers were greatly affected by Yang Su.
Li Duan was forced to become a man in his early forties, and Li Jing had been up and down for more than 20 years, and he was only a Mayi county.
After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, the situation was turbulent.
Li Duan took his family and hid in the mountains for refuge.
It was not until Li Yuan Taiyuan raised troops that Li Duan returned home.
Then, Li Yanqing launched the Battle of Hebei, and quickly solved Dou Jiande with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying.
Xu Shiji was stationed in the river, and when Wang Cheng passed by, he received him warmly. After Wang Fei resigned from his position in Qilintai, he concentrated on writing "The Missing Record of the Great Cause". At the beginning of the year, he finally finished the book and prepared to return home.
In Hejian, Xu Shiji accidentally mentioned Li Jing.
Because Yan Qing once told him in a letter: If you talk about the good fighters in the court, it is not the prince, not Li Yanqing, and not Xu Shiji.
The one who can really be called good at war and is the first person in the art of war is none other than Pharmacist Li.
Xu Shiji was naturally not convinced, so he mentioned Li Jing with Wang Ying. Wang Fei knew Li Jing, and at the same time was extremely familiar with Li Duan.
He said to Xu Shiji: "The first person in the art of war, the king is not lying.
Pharmacist Li's strategy is by no means inferior to any master of the art of war in the world. However, Pharmacist Li is the person he is most afraid of in his life, that is, his brother, Li Duan and Li Yaowang. If you are talented, ten Li Duan is not as good as one Li Jing. However, what Li Jing planned never met Li Duan's expectations. If the king of Henan wants to seek Li Jing, without the help of the king of medicine, it is impossible to ......"
This is the principle of brine and tofu, one thing and one thing.
Wang Fei and Li Duan know each other and have a good relationship.
So after he returned to Taiyuan, he persuaded Li Duan to serve under Xu Shiji first. Wait for the right opportunity to recommend again.
Li Jing chose Li Shimin, but it does not mean that Li Duan will also choose Li Shimin.
According to the survival rule of the clan of 'don't put all your eggs in one basket', Li Duan chose Li Yanqing without hesitation. It's not that he doesn't want to belong to Li Jiancheng, but with his current situation, Li Jiancheng will never pay attention to it.
And Li Yanqing, who is famous, will not wronged Li Duan.
Hearing that Li Yanqing was going to Lingnan, Xu Shiji discussed with Li Duanyi and thought that the time had come, so Li Duan came to Chang'an.
"Gong Li, Xiao Wang is going to Lingnan, and the good luck is uncertain.
And Lingnan has a lot of miasma, and the environment is very harsh, you actually ...... can stay in Chang'an, and someone in the palace also needs to be in charge. β
Li Yanqing didn't know what Li Duan was capable of.
However, the person who can become a general during the Renshou period is not far behind.
You must know that during the Kaihuang and Renshou periods, even Zheng Dashi and other figures were just chariot generals in the military government, and they were explained by the official positions in the Great Cause period, that is, the eagle struck the generals. It can be seen that this Li Duan is not idle.
Moreover, Li Yanqing is not disgusted.
Li Duan looks like he is in his early fifties, sixty years younger.
It's okay to stay in Chang'an, but if you go to a wild place with harsh conditions like Lingnan, in case of an accident, how can Li Yanqing feel at ease.
Li Duan smiled and said: "The king is kind, and the old man understands it."
However, he did not make an inch, and he really had no shame to stay in Chang'an...... If the king of Henan thinks that he is old and old, and he is overwhelmed, the old man will go home. β
"Gong Li's words are serious, his words are serious!"
Li Yanqing didn't expect that Li Duan was such a decisive person.
couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Since Gong Li is willing to accompany him, Xiao Wang can't ask for it!" β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββLi Duan is such a strong person!
This is also Li Yanqing's initial feeling.
If Li Jing is a Confucian handsome and handsome, then Li Duan is a very pure soldier and has an extremely strong sense of honor.
When Li Jing was studying, it was also the most glorious period of Han Baohu and Han Laozhuguo.
Therefore, Li Jing has never lived in the military, and with the support of Han Laozhuguo, he worships famous teachers and travels the world, and his vision is extremely broad. Later, he was valued by Yang Su, and it was smooth sailing when he was a teenager. It's just that after growing up, he was implicated because of Yang Su's matter, and he has not been reused, and he can be regarded as having experienced a lot in the sea of eunuchs. β
That night, Li Yanqing and the eldest grandson Wuji chatted in the bamboo building.
Don't look at Yanqing's prestige is higher than that of the eldest grandson Wuji, but after all, it is not as good as the eldest grandson Wuji, who grew up in an official family. He knows the secrets of the DPRK and China well, and he is also the head of the road. So much so that Li Yanqing felt that Wuji was particularly excited when he was talking about gossip.
"Uncle Li Duan's situation is different from Li Jing.
He was nearly ten years older than Li Jing, so he was not as superior as Li Jing when he was young. He joined the army at the age of fourteen, starting as a captain and then rising through the ranks. Li Duan really started after Han Baohu died, and was recommended by Shi Wansui to become the commander of the First Army, and successively followed Yang Su, Shi Wansui, Gao Ying, He Ruobi and others, and finally achieved the position of general.
It is precisely for this reason that Li Yaowang is not as broad-minded as Li Jing, and his strategy is not outstanding.
However, this person is better in the subtleties, regardless of his change of coach back then, but nothing has ever gone wrong. But whatever is arranged, it will definitely be done very well. Mr. Wang said that he could restrain Li Jing, so I think this is why he came. β
The devil is in the details!
Li Yanqing came to the final conclusion.
At the same time, when he went to Lingnan this time, he could avoid a lot of trouble by having such an experienced old man with him.
The most important thing is that this Li Duan and the Feng family also have a good relationship.
When Feng Ang first came to the Central Plains as an official, he served under Li Duan's account.
In other words, this Li Duan is Feng An's old boss. What choice will Feng Ang make? No one can say for sure.
However, with Li Duan here, Li Yanqing added a little more certainty.
"There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure...... Today's medicine king, this trip will be a victory! β
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Yanqing was not just referring to Li Duan. Especially the earlier sentences, it was more of a praise for Wang Fei.
If it weren't for Wang Duan, I'm afraid Li Duan wouldn't have voted easily.
After Li Yuan appointed Li Yanqing, he soon issued an edict, ordering Li Shimin to control the world's soldiers and horses, and the governor of the battle of Pingnan.
At the end of September, Li Shimin led his troops to Kuizhou.
For a time, the eyes of the people of the world were focused on Li Shimin.
On the third day after Li Shimin left Chang'an, a team of people and horses, surrounded by a group of carriages, stepped on the morning light at dawn, and quietly went south from Yanxing Gate......
