Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 123 Fight in!

Tian Liu'an, Su Dingfang, and Ling Bo were all stable, but Liu Jun was the only one who rushed to meet him.

"Don't worry, everything has been negotiated." Li Shan put his arm on Zhou Zhao's shoulder, "The Turkic army retreated fifty miles, and the Tang army entered the city. They will be handed over in an hour."

"and also……"

"Cough cough, cough cough." Li Shan coughed violently and interrupted Zhou Zhao's supplement, pointing to the white horse that ran away again, "Please trouble Liu Hujun."

In front of the tens of thousands of troops, there is a place where corpses are erected. Swords and swords face each other. At the moment of life and death, they talk freely and exchange words. Although Li Shan thinks that his psychological quality is strong enough, he is a little bit unable to hold on.

It's not the first time I've seen an ancient battlefield, but it's the first time I've seen Li Shan in such a formation. He can still use riding skills as an excuse after falling off his horse twice.

Relieved, Liu Jun turned his head and yelled twice, and rushed to the horse to lead the white horse back into the formation.

At the same time, Li Shan lowered his head and reprimanded: "It's useless to take you with you, and I almost slipped my mouth when I came back!"

Zhou Zhao was a little unconvinced, "It's enough to withdraw from the army, but you still want to kill the King of Handong, if it wasn't for..."

"Don't want Liu Heitai, where can I get Huaiyang King?" Li Shandu was laughed angrily, and he wished to slap this guy twice with his hand that went around.

"Liu Hujun is the direct descendant of King Huaiyang, why..."

Li Shan looked at the people in Tianliu'an who were not far away, and said in a low voice: "The trip has not yet taken place, so don't talk too much, not everyone wants to see King Huaiyang return safely..."

Zhou Zhao was shocked, who wouldn't want to see Li Daoxuan return safely?

Of course it was Yuan Guogong Shi Wanbao, and the deputy chief of the Hebei Road Army is now in Guantao City.

Li Shan let go of his arms and held Tian Liuan's outstretched hands with a smile... Different from later generations, the handshake ceremony in this era represents extremely close connotations.

"Wanjun retreated from the army with words, and he really has the talent of Su Qin and Zhang Yi." Tian Liu'an supported Li Shan, "Such a young hero, no wonder Fang Gong and Hakka Xin Zhongyan repeatedly praised him."

"Boss Tian's praise is ridiculous, it is really a last resort."

Li Shan said a few words of modesty, which provoked Uncle Ling to sneer... The fact is that you tried your best to turn the tide, and insisted on pushing your merits.

Fortunately, Uncle Ling still has a good mouth, and he didn't say anything... It was your Li Shan's mouth that provoked the Turkic soldiers, and it was your fault in the first place.

"One hour later, three hundred cavalrymen will hand over people five miles outside the city."

Tian Liu'an asked carefully, "Liu Shishan is also..."

"We have to be on guard, immediately send scouts and horses to search around."

"Let's go back to the city first."

Li Shan approached Tian Liu'an, whispered a few words, and the latter's relaxed expression became serious again.

The Turkic soldiers retreated, the defenders in the city had already opened the city gate, Tian Liu'an and Li Shan quickly entered the city, there is still work to do next.

"Da Lang, Da Lang!"

As soon as he entered the city, Li Shan turned his head and saw Zhao Da who was not far away with an anxious face and was waving vigorously.

Signaling to let him go, Zhao Da rushed over, "The Turkic man was snatched away..."

After hearing this sentence, Li Shan understood, no need to ask, it must have been snatched by Shi Wanbao!

The most unwanted scene happened. The reason why Li Shan didn't let Zhou Zhao general exchange Li Daoxuan was because he was afraid of seeing this scene.

Shi Wanbao, Shi Wanbao... This is really a shit stick!

Li Shan smiled and asked, "What about the rest?"

"It's settled down."

"Hehe, hehe." Li Shan asked with a smile, "Where is the Turkic man?"

"Snatched to the county government..."

The smile on Li Shan's face grew stronger, "Director Tian, ​​who is the county magistrate of Guantao?"

Zhou Zhao, who was at the side, peeked at him and felt a slight chill in the smile on Li Shan's face...Of course he knew that the Turkic nobleman who could exchange for Li Daoxuan would never be allowed to be in Shi Wanbao's hands.

"Guantao County Magistrate Cui Xin, a member of the Qinghe Cui Clan, took office at the beginning of the year, and is quite famous for his governance."

"Please ask Director Tian to lead the way."

Qinghe Cui family is a big family with a reputation resounding all over the country. The five surnames and seven families are only slightly lower than Longxi Li and Xingyang Zheng, but this slightly lower refers to their weight in the court, not in other places.

Weizhou is close to Beizhou, and it can barely be regarded as the Qinghe Cui family's private land. Most of the officials at the county magistrate level are related to the Qinghe Cui family.

Outside the county government office, two or three disciples stepped forward to meet Tian Liu'an, while two other soldiers in iron armor stretched out their hands to stop the group of people.

"Yuan Guogong set up a camp here, who dares to trespass!"

Tian Liu'an was furious, and was about to reprimand, when a soldier changed his words: "There is an order from the Duke of the state, Xu Weizhou, the general manager, to enter, and the rest..."

"Su Dingfang!" A sharp shout interrupted the soldiers' words.

Li Shan never directly called Su Dingfang by his name, but always called Su brother, this was the first time.

Su Dingfang took a step forward and echoed loudly.

Li Shan, who still had a cold smile on his face, pulled out his long knife slowly, raised it slowly but firmly, and pointed the tip of the knife at the gate of the county government office.

"Kill in!"

Before Tian Liu'an could react, Su Dingfang strode forward, a blade of light flew from his waist, and the soldiers in front of him were already splattered with blood.

At this moment, in the backyard of the county government office, under the warm sunlight, the Turkic youth leaned on the soft couch, held a delicate wine cup, drank it in one gulp, and said with a sneer, "Tens of thousands of troops are overwhelming, how dare you bargain?"

Shi Wanbao, who was short in stature, was always sluggish after experiencing the big defeat in Xia Bo, but at this moment he was full of energy, and said with a smile: "This statement is absurd. If we don't retreat, Weizhou will fall, and I can't escape the guilt. It's just a two-sided complacency."

The Turkic youth threw away the wine cup, accidentally touched the wound on his arm, and couldn't help grinning, "Okay, I will do my best to guarantee this matter."

Shi Wanbao felt relieved and poured wine from the jug himself. He is a direct descendant of the Eastern Palace and the deputy chief of the Hebei Road Army.

Now that Xiabo has been defeated, and the entire [-] elite army has been annihilated, the blame can still be shifted to that bastard Li Daoxuan, but if he does nothing, he is afraid that his weight in the prince's mind will become less and less.

But if I can persuade the Turkic army to return to the north with the Turkic nobleman in front of me, then it will be much easier for the crown prince to conquer himself... Even if Xia Bo is defeated, I will be demoted.
Shi Wanbao sighed lightly, thinking that he was really lucky, he went to the city early this morning, heard about the Turkic attack, and wanted to call Tian Liu'an, the general manager of Weizhou, back to his teacher, but unexpectedly saw this Turkic youth.

Although Shi Wanbao was born in the Central Plains, he was from a barbarian, and he was proficient in Turkic. After questioning a few sentences, he immediately found out that the other party was of extraordinary status, so he immediately detained him.

Not long after, the Turkic youth was already half-drunk, and he tore open a fat chicken and chewed it, thinking in his heart that if he escaped, he would slaughter the entire city.

On the prairie, I was under one person and above ten thousand people. Wherever I passed, all people bowed their heads, but now I have become a bargaining chip for the Han people!
"In the battle of Xiabo, I heard that King Huaiyang was captured..." Shi Wanbao suddenly said softly, "If the nobleman returns to the north safely..."

"Give you!"

Shi Wanbao pursed his lips and squeezed out a sentence, "Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, sent the ministers of the Tang clan back to Chang'an many times, but he was executed in the end. The lesson from the past is not far away. Today, the king of Dongdong Han may not be merciful anymore..."

The Turkic youth froze for a moment, and forgot to chew the chicken in his mouth. Although the old man's words were cryptic, the meaning was obvious.

If Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan is not dead... Please go back and make up for it.

Shi Wanbao had a calm demeanor, but the Turkic youth was a little uncomfortable. He remembered that the Tang Army in Hebei Province was headed by Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan, and the old man in front of him was his deputy.

After chewing and swallowing the chicken, the Turkic youth snorted, "Then you have to hand over that man!"

"It's that Li Shan?" Shi Wanbao smacked his lips, thinking that the young man was really capable of tossing around, and unexpectedly captured this Turkic man... But it was also fortunate that he captured this Turkic man.

Shi Wanbao smiled, "Just now I have ordered that the Tang army outside the city be destroyed, as long as..."

In the middle of speaking, Shi Wanbao stopped talking, and looked at the stunned Turkic youth on the opposite side in doubt.

"who?!"

Shi Wanbao turned his head abruptly, only to see the light of the saber flickering, and the scolding guard barely drew his saber to block the long saber that was coming at him, but was immediately kicked into a rolling gourd.

A big man appeared from around the corner holding a long knife, followed by a dozen young men with knives and guns. Behind them, a young man with a sarcastic face came slowly.

Staring at Li Shan, Shi Wanbao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He was clearly surrounded by the Turkic army outside the city. Why did he suddenly appear here?
It wasn't that Shi Wanbao underestimated the enemy, nor was he too naive. There was almost no chance of winning against the tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry.

Shi Wanbao waited for the entire Tang army to be annihilated outside, and offered hostages in exchange for the Turkic retreat, but he did not expect that Li Shan persuaded the Turkic troops to retreat, and then Tian Liu'an quickly entered the city, using his personal guards to control the main road... Shi Wanbao until now I don't know that the Turks have retreated.

Of course, this had a lot to do with Shi Wanbao's escape all the way south, leaving only a dozen bodyguards around him... lack of manpower.

"There are chickens, ducks, fish, sheep, and even wine." Li Shan turned his gaze over the face of the Turkic youth before looking at Shi Wanbao, "The Turkic invaders in Hebei and Shandong have killed countless people. Tens of thousands of government soldiers died in the First World War, and their souls could not return to their hometown, unexpectedly Duke Yuan was regarded as a distinguished guest."

Shi Wanbao stood up tremblingly, staring at Tian Liu'an who appeared behind Li Shan, "The old man is ordered by the saint..."

"Sage's edict?" Li Shan laughed and said, "Did the sage order you to stand still and trap King Huaiyang in the battle?"

"Did the sage order you to destroy all [-] elites and annihilate the entire army?"

"Did the saint order you to lose the army and lose four states in a row?"

The cold gaze caused cold sweat to break out on Shi Wanbao's forehead. He wanted to defend himself, but he didn't say it in the end. He could only feel ruthless in his heart and wait until later

"Everyone present here today includes Liu Hujun, the former subordinate of King Huaiyang, and Chief Tian, ​​who is the direct descendant of King Qin, and the rest are all confidantes."

Li Shan threw a long knife at Shi Wanbao's feet slowly, "Guess, will someone kill you today..."

Ling Bo sneered at the back and said, "Now that we have been questioned, only sixteen personal guards will either die or surrender."

Shi Wanbao's thin body trembled violently, and his gray temples were pressed tightly to his forehead because of sweat. He couldn't believe that the other party really dared to kill him...but he could trap Li Daoxuan's soldiers to his death, and the other party really didn't dare ?
The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely oppressive and silent, except for Shi Wanbao's heavy panting from time to time.

After a while, Li Shan suddenly smiled, "Don't be afraid."

"Of course I won't kill you, you are Duke Yuan."
