Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 106 It Wasn't Me That It Was Wrong

A hundred miles away from Zaoqiang, it is already in the territory of Beizhou. In the open space beside the road, more than a hundred horses are tied to the tree trunk by the reins, and a dozen and a half children are feeding the horses with hay.

"Harder, harder!"

Li Shan was lying on the straw mat, while Fan Shiyi laughed and massaged his back vigorously.

It’s okay to be cold and hungry, it’s okay to have both crotch rubbed bloody, the back pain is really unbearable for Li Shan, and there is still a backrest for driving, but riding a horse...

Therefore, Li Shan could only reluctantly teach Fan Shiyi this massage secret technique.

Originally, Li Shan wanted to pass on the secret technique to Su Dingfang's adoptive mother... It's a pity that she refused to learn it, it's really not motivated!
Mrs. Zhou, 19 years old, although she is dressed in rough clothes and wooden hairpins, she is charming. After Liu Heizai swept Hebei last year, Gao Yaxian married at the beginning of this year. Unfortunately, she is now a widow.

Thinking of this, Li Shan involuntarily turned his gaze to Mrs. Zhou beside the carriage, and for some reason suddenly remembered a line...

She has become a widow, so she can no longer be a widow!
Still thinking wildly, Fan Laosan from the back of the hall walked over, squatted down, "Li Langjun."

"Squat here." Li Shan frowned.

"Uh... Li Langjun, it seems that the road has gone astray."

"Ah."

"From Zaoqiang to Beizhou, it should go southwest, but it has always been southeast." Fan Laosan pointed to the east side, "We are almost in Dezhou."

"Hmm... um?" Li Shan said lazily, "Got it..."

Seeing that Fan Laosan still didn't leave, Li Shan got up on his stomach and explained: "Go southeast and bypass Zhangnan County."

"Why bypass Zhangnan County?"

"That fellow Liu Heita is from Zhangnan County. Lao Su followed him several times last year. His adoptive father was right servant She at that time."

Fan Laosan was a little upset, he was different from Guo Pu, he came from the army, and Su Dingfang and Ling Bo had always disliked him.

Uh, in fact, the main reason is that Uncle Ling's mouth is a bit poisonous... Just now I was saying that if King Xia accepted advice last year, not only King Qin would return without success, but the siege of Luoyang would also be resolved.

At this time, it was almost time to rest, Guo Pu and Su Dingfang yelled and prepared to go on the road, when several people came over, they heard Li Shan talking nonsense.

"In fact, it is beneficial to bypass Zhangnan County, not only because it is Liu Heita's hometown." Li Shan stood up and said, "Dezhou has not yet fallen, and Cangzhou, Yanzhou, and Gongzhou on the east side will not send troops to the west. ……Right?"

Zhou Zhao nodded vigorously, "Both Cangzhou and Yanzhou are caused by Liu Heitai's old troops gathering people to revolt. Liu Hui, the governor of Gongzhou, is Dou Jiande's old army. He surrendered the city. They should stick to the territory and will not go west."

Li Shan nodded in satisfaction, "So, on the way to the south, I don't need to worry about the east side. The route is slightly easterly, which is safer."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was Zhu Shitou coming towards the horse.

"Da...Da Lang, Uncle Guo, met a group of people..."

"Take a breath and talk carefully." Guo Pu handed over the water bag and asked a few words carefully.

Zhu Shitou followed a few soldiers of the Fan family to explore the road ahead, and saw more than a hundred cavalrymen chasing and killing dozens of cavalry... Uh, the cavalrymen being hunted down were soldiers of the Tang army.

Su Dingfang led the horse and asked softly, "What direction?"

"It came from the east, Fan Laojiu is still watching, let me report back."

Quiet.

The atmosphere is a little weird.

Li Shan, who was still smiling, asked nonchalantly, "Hundreds of riders hunted down...how to deal with it?"

Zhou Zhao looked at it carefully... Uh, this guy is so thick-skinned that he is not even red.

But the smile on his face was a little stiff.

Su Dingfang didn't speak, but turned to look at the carriage, apparently to avoid suspicion, and decided on Li Shan, Guo Pu, Fan Laosan and others.

"It's just more than a hundred riders. If you choose the opportunity to make a surprise attack, it's not difficult to defeat the enemy." Fan Laosan was the first to speak. He was a soldier of the government.

Guo Pu glanced at Li Shan's expression, and said: "There are 30 young and strong people in Zhujiagou here, including Lao Fan and Li's personal guards, about half a hundred. I don't know where Brother Su is..."

Su Ding was expressionless, "All young and strong come out, and there are more than forty people, all of whom can gallop into battle."

"The number of people is roughly equal, but Zhujiagou is young and strong and not good at horse fighting." Li Shan pondered for a while, "It's too late, leave ten people to protect the old, weak, women and children, Zhu Ba, you also stay, stare at that Turkic man, the rest Take them all."

"go!"

Zhu Shitou led the way, but it took only a quarter of an hour to arrive. Li Shan carefully pushed aside the blocking branches and looked down. This is a small basin.

More than a hundred riders were chasing and killing Tang soldiers not far away with their spears. Li Shan took a closer look, "Are there just a few people?"

"There were more than 20 people during the investigation before, but now there are only seven or eight people..."

"Can you fight?"

Li Shan chose to respect the ability of professionals. This question was asked by Su Dingfang, but Fan Laosan rushed ahead and shouted: "Can kill."

Well, another sentence can kill.

But when he met Turkic soldiers that day, Fan Laosan said he could kill them, and he did kill them all. Li Shan looked back, and in the blink of an eye, two more people were shot off the horse.

Gritting his teeth, Li Shan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, how and when to attack is up to Brother Su to decide."

"What?" Fan Lao San's voice sounded.

Su Dingfang also declined and said, "What virtue can I do..."

Guo Pu stood aside without saying a word, and Li Shan didn't say a word, only listening to Fan Laosan's rebuttal and Su Dingfang's humility.

Turning around and looking again, Li Shan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we can't save it."

Fan Lao San's voice became sharp again, "Why?"

"It's too late." Li Shan said expressionlessly, "By the time you talk about dry throat, you'll be dead already, and I'm afraid the blood will be drained."

Fan Laosan kicked the big tree beside him angrily, "So-and-so takes the lead!"

Su Dingfang glanced at Li Shan, "The general will be brave, and please ask Brother Fan San to protect Brother Li."

"Old Fan stays, Uncle Guo follows."

Watching Su Dingfang and Guo Pu leave, Li Shan glanced at Fan Laosan with a calm but indescribable meaning.

Fan Laosan swallowed, "Li Langjun..."

"Ok?"

"I'm sorry just now..."

"Don't be rude." Li Shan said with a smile: "You are not a certain song, you are just escorted by orders, and you will not see each other again after you get Weizhou or return to Beijing."

Fan Laosan's brow was covered with sweat, "Eleventh said... Mr. Lang is willing to accept me as an apprentice."

Fan Laosan has been in the army for many years, and there is no one in his family. Even the villages have been looted by the Turks, and the fields allotted are in Jingzhao.

Li Shan said lightly: "It's just a joke, you and other warriors in the army are used to resisting, so some people can't stop."

Ignoring Fan Laosan, Li Shan turned back to watch the battle, glanced at Ling Bo who had been silent all the time out of the corner of his eye, and asked casually, "Brother Su is usually so humble?"

"Dingfang has little pride and courage. At the age of 14, he followed his father into battle, and later led the soldiers in the village. He was rewarded and punished." Ling Bo sneered, "It's just because of you..."

Zhou Zhao laughed and said, "If you owe such a favor, you must be humble."

After a pause, Zhou Zhao added: "The younger generation doesn't just mean saving the mother."

Seeing that Uncle Ling's expression was not right, Zhou Zhao hurriedly added, "It's not about saving Ling's granddaughter either."

Li Shan, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but burst out laughing. He only found out today that Ling Bo's attitude towards his nose is not a nose and a face is not a face because... the girl whose clothes were cut off by him is Ling Bo's granddaughter.

The dark-faced Uncle Ling scolded in a low voice: "Even if Liu Heita is in front of him, how dare he do anything to this old man?!"

Of course Ling Bo knew that Zhou Zhao was referring to Li Shan's favor of saving Mancun's life.

Zhou Zhao's mouth was also quite bitter, enough to stand against Uncle Ling, and he said casually, "If I had known this, there would be no need to bury the body of Fan Yuan's eldest son. Uncle Ling would just go to see the King of Han Dong directly behind his back."

While speaking, the eight people fleeing in the basin had turned into six, five, and four...

Li Shan snorted, "Shut up, here we come!"

It has to be said that Fan Laosan and Guo Pu are both brave men in the army, but they are far inferior to Su Dingfang in the selection of fighters.

It's really the shadow of a famous tree, from this small battle, you can see the big from the small.

When Su Dingfang urged his horse to speed up and led his troops to charge into battle, the enemy's hundreds of cavalry barely made any reaction, not because they didn't want to react, but because they had no choice.

Su Dingfang's timing was too bad. When he swooped down from the high ground to reveal his figure, more than a hundred enemy cavalry were already approaching, and the first few cavalry had even passed.

There is no opportunity for the enemy to slow down, no opportunity to turn, and there is almost nothing they can do.

Therefore, when Su Dingfang jumped off his horse, charged into the side of the enemy army with a lance in his hand, and led dozens of cavalry to cut off more than a hundred cavalry, the victory and defeat were already divided.

Li Shan took a few steps forward, leaning on the big tree for a closer look.

In this era when cavalry generals are still showing off their power, what can a general's powerful force bring... Su Dingfang told Li Shan.

The heavy horse lance seemed to be manipulated in Su Dingfang's hands at will like a matchstick.

Su Dingfang suddenly flattened his horse, and with a wave of his right arm, he swept across thousands of troops like a mat, and swept five or six enemy soldiers off their horses. The enemy soldiers were splashed with blood.

With such a brave pioneer, dozens of cavalry easily penetrated the enemy's formation, and at least 50 to [-] of the enemy were knocked off their horses.

The remaining dozens of cavalry seemed not to want to leave yet. Su Dingfang urged his horse forward, put down his horse, took out his bow and arrows, and fired six arrows in a row.

Ling Bo turned his head and glanced at Fan Laosan, "You are so brave, how can you be weaker than Yu Chigong?"

These days, Fan Laosan always brags that when he was in the Xuanjia Army, he saw Yuchi Gong showing off his might on the battlefield and was extremely brave.

At this moment, Fan Laosan was still full of apprehension, listless like a dried up eggplant.

Li Shan sighed, "I haven't seen the power of Yuchi, but I have seen the courage of Ding Fang."

The battlefield was already being cleaned up below, and the four people who managed to escape their lives slumped on the ground without any manners.

Li Shan and his party went down the mountain, Ling Bo was startled suddenly, "Xuan Su..."

A middle-aged man sitting on the ground looked up, with a surprised expression, "You... Ling Jing!"

After Li Shan figured out the origin of this pursuer and the origin of this middle-aged man, he sighed, "The enemy army on the east side is really an accident."

Wrong... Whoever it is, it's not me anyway!
