"Your Majesty, if you talk about merit, Ge Shuhan's merit is not enough to be compared with Li Ang, if the one with the small merit is the commander of Longyou, and the one with the big merit is subordinate, it is contrary to common sense and it is really difficult to convince the public.

What's more, a town's festival is not only to manage the army, but also to manage the people and manage finances. Ge Shuhan has been idle since he was a child, brave and ruthless, he doesn't know the suffering of the people, and it may be okay to manage the army, let him govern the people's livelihood and manage the finances, I'm afraid it will make a mess.

Looking at Li Ang again, although Li Ang has only been in the industry for a year, he has been tempered since he was a child, coupled with his talent and talent, he is not only extraordinary in literature and martial arts, but also very talented in these aspects of people's livelihood and financial management.

Your Majesty, the tribute to the palace was invented by Li Ang, this is still second, the amazing thing is that Li Ang has successively made suggestions for Huojing County and Xipu County in Jiannan, making Huojing County a distribution center for refined salt, Huojing County has changed from a lower county to an upper county in less than a year, and the degree of prosperity even exceeds that of Qiongzhou;

Xipu County, on the other hand, has become the center of the printing industry and low-cost industry in Jiannan Province because of Li Ang's movable type printing, and the tax revenue of Xipu County has also increased several times. And these are all Li Ang's help to give advice.

Li Ang has such an ability, which is difficult to match most other officials. Therefore, the minister thinks that ambition is not in old age, although Li Ang is young, but mature and steady, both civil and military, and deeply popular, he is the best candidate for the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu. ”

In addition to praising the emperor, perhaps this is the first time Li Linfu has praised a person at such a length, and he did this not just to help Li Ang up to be the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu. He wanted to help Li Ang up to be the second "Qin King Li Shimin".

What Li Linfu said is reasonable and well-founded, according to what he said, it is indeed Li Ang who is more qualified to serve as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, and **** Lie and others all agreed.

At this point, Li Longji actually had no different meanings, but in the end, he said: "I rarely hear the right minister respect a person so much, Li Ang is both civil and military, and he is indeed a rare talent, and with his merits, he is also more qualified to serve as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu." However, after all, he is too young, and he will inevitably act impulsively, and the killing of Dong Yanguang is the best example. With his character, he still needs to be trained a little, and it may not be a good thing for Li Ang to rush to a high position. ”

As a subordinate, Li Ang killed his boss Dong Yanguang, no matter what was wrong or right, this made Li Ang lose points very much. makes people doubt his steadiness in dealing with people. Li Longji took this to talk about things, and Li Linfu couldn't refute it anymore.

What's more, it is not difficult to hear his love for Li Ang from the emperor's words, with the emperor's loving heart, plus he pushes himself, why worry about Li Ang not getting up? For this to go to the emperor's hard top, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

He immediately echoed: "What Your Majesty said is just that the minister is a little worried that if Ge Shuhan is the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, there will be a situation between Ge Shuhan and Li Ang. Your Majesty, the minister heard that after Li Ang broke through the ambush of the city and captured Hechuan in a bloody battle, Wang Zhonghei did not give any reward to Li Ang's great achievements, but promoted and reused Li Ang's henchmen Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi and others whose merits were not as good as Li Ang's. Now that Li Ang is a long history, if Ge Shuhan is used as the ambassador of the festival, Li Ang's credit is already higher than that of Ge Shuhan, and there is unhappiness in the past, it is inevitable that they will compete with each other in the future, I am afraid that it will affect His Majesty's plan to pacify Tibet! ”

Even if Li Ang can't serve as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, Li Linfu is reluctant to hand over this important position to Ge Shuhan, and now Wang Zhongsi has been removed from the capital crime and demoted to Hanyang Taishou, Ge Shuhan was picked up by Wang Zhonghe, the higher the credit of Ge Shuhan in the future, the greater the chance of Wang Zhonghe's comeback, Li Linfu naturally does not want to see such a result, so after Li Longji vetoed Li Ang as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, Li Linfu retreated, hoping that this post would not be picked up by Ge Shuhan.

But Li Longji is a quite assertive person, he has talked with Li Ang and Ge Shuhan, and feels that the two have very similar knowledge in pacifying Tibet, and Ge Shuhan is a bold person, very gentlemanly style, in addition, he decided to let the two divide labor and cooperate, and Li Ang will be in charge of the division of Tibet, so as to reduce the conflict between the two.

Therefore, despite Li Linfu's reluctance and a lot of reasons, Li Longji finally decided that Ge Shuhan would take over the post of ambassador of Longyou.

In addition, Longyou no longer has a deputy envoy of Jiedu, and the envoy of the soldiers and horses of Guanxi, who is concurrently served by the deputy envoy of Jiedu, will be handed over to Li Ang, a long history.

After Li Longji finally made the decision, Li Linfu was no longer reconciled, and he could only accept such a result.

In this political storm against the crown prince Li Heng, Li Linfu has done everything he can, and even Wuyang and the concubine actively cooperated, but they still did not bring down Li Heng. This made Li Linfu's sense of crisis stronger and stronger.

Correspondingly, Li Linfu's idea of lifting Li Ang up as the second "Qin King Li Shimin" was also more eager.

Maybe only by giving the emperor a better choice can Li Heng's position be fundamentally shaken.

After leaving Daming Palace, Li Linfu immediately gathered his henchmen to discuss how to make Li Ang's identity as the grandson of the prince and grandson be implemented.

Li Ang, who was in Longyou, didn't know that Li Linfu was doing his best to help him to the position of "grandson of the emperor", and he couldn't take care of these anymore. With the unfolding of the construction of the city in the dangerous place of the Yellow River, it inevitably touched the nerves of the Tibetan people.

Jiuqu of the Yellow River, which has always been used by Tubo as a forward base for attacking Longyou, lost this place, Tubo became very passive strategically, and the Tang Dynasty had no intention of negotiating peace, and the envoy sent was expelled by Li Angjing. This is something that has not happened since the founding of Tibet.

In the past, even if Tubo was defeated, as long as an envoy was sent to sue for peace, the Tang Dynasty would receive it politely, and even married the princess to Tubo Zampu, how could there ever be an envoy being expelled?

Tubo was defeated again and again, losing Xiao Bolu, Shibao, and the Yellow River Jiuqu, as well as the betrayal of Tuyuhun, one of the four major tribes, which has greatly damaged the prestige of Zampu and Zhudan, and now he sent Xin Da Xuan as an envoy, and he was expelled as soon as he arrived in Longyou, which is really a shame;

If there is no reaction, what will the leaders of the various ethnic groups in Tibet think of him as a Zampu, and what will the ordinary people think of him as a Zampu?

The Tang army sent to Tubo to reconnoiter in detail, and Tubo began to gather troops and horses in the area of Dafeichuan, predicting that a large-scale attack would be made in the near future. In this case, Li Ang had to leave all government affairs to Cui Qianyou, and he took Li Mi, as well as Li Guangbi, Ma Chongzan, Li Sheng, Hua Qiu and other generals to supervise the defense of border cities.

They traveled from Langzhou through the Jishi Army, and then along the south bank of the Yellow River all the way to the west, through Wanxiu City, to Da Momen City.

Da Momen City was originally an important city in Tubo, located in the Longyang Gorge on the south bank of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Da Momen City was built between two mountains, the terrain is dangerous, there is a camel bridge in its north, communicating both sides of the Yellow River.

After arriving at Da Momen City, Li Ang was worried that the Tibetan soldiers and horses would attack at any time, so he ordered Li Sheng to cross the river first and go to Shudun City to preside over the defense of the Jintian Army.

Li Ang, Li Guangbi, and Li Mi stood on the city wall on the riverside of Da Momen City, and listened to Ma Chongzan, the envoy of the Ningsai army, introduced: "After crossing the river, and then go west along the river for more than 20 miles, it is Shudun City, Shudun City is the only city located on the north bank of the Yellow River in the land of Jiuqu that we have recovered. Therefore, it can be said that Shudun City is our bridgehead for attacking Dafeichuan. ”

"In this way, Shudun City is also a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of Tubo." Leon couldn't help but frown.

"So to speak. At present, half of the Jin Tianjun stationed in Shudun City is cavalry, and this thousand cavalry can go out of Dafeichuan at any time to attack the Tubo tribes, and the terrain around Dafeichuan is relatively flat, and it is impossible to defend according to the danger, so for Tubo, with the Jin Tianjun in the area, there will be no peace in the Dafeichuan area. ”

After hearing this, Li Ang became even more worried: "Obviously, this time Tubo gathered a large number of troops and horses, and the primary target was Shudun City, and if Shudun City was not recaptured, they would not be able to talk about recapturing Jiuqu of the Yellow River." Next, Shudun City is about to face the fiercest attack of Tubo, how can you defend Shudun City, do you have a good strategy? ”

The closest to Shudun City is the Da Momen City where they are located, the two only have a camel bridge to communicate, because the Da Momen City is located in the south bank of the river meander, can be defended according to the danger, so there are only one hundred and fifty people stationed in the city, to grasp the defense capability of Shudun City, can only be transferred from elsewhere.

Li Mi said: "No matter how many soldiers and horses are transferred to Shudun City, it will not help. Once the Tubo invades on a large scale, as long as some troops are sent to guard the north bank of the Camel Bridge, or simply destroy the Camel Bridge, the Jin Tianjun stationed in Shudun City will become a lone army, facing the siege of the Tubo army, it is difficult to get reinforcements from our rear, which is a very dangerous thing. ”

Li Guangbi said: "Li Changshi intends to give up Shudun City? ”

"Abandon Shudun City? Can we give up? Leon asked rhetorically.

Li Guangbi and Ma Chongzan were silent, if they gave up Shudun City, not only would the Tang Army lose a bridgehead to attack Dafeichuan, but also the Jin Tianjun in Shudun City was set up by order of the Tang Emperor, how could it be said that if you give up, you can give up?

But if you don't give up, it is difficult to avoid the situation that Li Ang feared, as soon as the north bank of the Camel Bridge was strangled by Tubo, Jin Tianjun became a lone army trapped in the dead city.

Now the 2,000 men and horses stationed in Shudun City, without foreign aid, guarding Shudun City is tantamount to waiting for death.

What should I do if I can't withdraw or defend if I can't defend it? (To be continued.) )
