Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 124
"Let's go."

Li Shan looked at the Turkic youth with his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Don't think I don't know, you understand."

The Turkic youth looked a little ugly, "Where are you going?"

I really understand... The deceitful Li Shan strode out of the county office without saying a word, biting his lips, wondering if he had revealed his identity along the way.

This guy is a bit of a thief, and he has been pretending not to understand Chinese, so Li Shan watched closely on the way down but didn't shy away from it.

"Within a radius of thirty li, there is no trace of the Turks." Tian Liuan pointed to the northeast direction, "They have already arrived."

After hesitating for a while, Tian Liu'an took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "Why go in person?"

Li Shan squinted his eyes and looked to the northeast, but he really couldn't see if Li Daoxuan was there, "Don't worry, Director Tian, ​​if there is any disagreement, just close the city gate."

Tian Liu'an frowned... He was a little dissatisfied with Li Shan's decision to order Su Dingfang to enter the county government.

But this kind of dissatisfaction is still within the scope. Shi Wangui is the Duke of the state, and he is threatened by Li Shan... Tian Liu'an's main worry is that if this kind of thing gets out, Li Shan will be in trouble in the future.

After hesitating for a moment, Tian Liu'an persuaded him a few more words in a low voice, the implication was nothing more than... don't cause trouble for your riding skills.

But Li Shan was unmoved... I will naturally make up for the evil I planted!
Uh, to put it another way... the grain I planted is now harvested, so of course I have to harvest it myself!
"By the way, I just received the news from Xiangzhou." Tian Liu'an said in a low voice, "Qi Shanxing, the governor of Xingzhou, set fire to the granary of Xingzhou before leading his troops south."

Li Shan nodded slightly, his eyes flickering, which was a catalyst that could no longer be used for his next plan.

As the general manager of Weizhou, Tian Liu'an had to sit in the city. For this hostage exchange, Liu Jun led [-] cavalry out of the city, while Li Shan only brought Su Dingfang and Guo Pu, and Zhou Zhao had to keep up with him.

Watching the three hundred cavalry leave the city, Tian Liu'an, who was standing on the city wall, was puzzled by many things, the most important of which was... just let the Turkic youth out of the city, why go to hand him over?
"Although this son has not yet been crowned, he does have a strategic strategy...and he has a deep thought." Ling Bo smiled at the side. He has always had a good attitude towards everyone other than Li Shan and Zhou Zhao. "Since venturing out of the city, I must Something else."

Tian Liu'an smiled wryly, "Mr. Jiuwen's eyes are higher than the top, but unexpectedly he favors Li Langjun a lot."

Ling Bo's face turned dark, why do I love him so much? !

What does it mean that my eyes are higher than the top... At that time, Ling Jing was highly valued by Dou Jiande, so he was rejected by other officials of the Xia Kingdom. This is one of the reasons why his last suggestion was rejected by Dou Jiande. Almost everyone opposed it.

"Although that mouth..." Zhang Xuansu looked at the cavalry heading northeast in fear, "but this person understands the overall situation and is good at strategy... but his riding skills are a bit hard to watch."

Zhang Wenguan stared carefully at Li Shan in the cavalry formation, really worried, and said casually: "Although brother Li is not good at riding, he is in a desperate situation, and he is not chaotic at all. He is planning a night attack, and he attacked Wucheng overnight. As for courage..."

Today, from the meeting to the two Turkic attacks, to the accidents in the city, Tian Liu'an still doesn't know the details of Li Shan and his party going south.

But Tian Liu'an could see that more than half of the 500 people who went south were Tang Jun, and the leader was Li Shan, who was less than 20 years old.

Under such circumstances, being publicly elected as the leader... can never be based on reputation alone, nor can it be just because Li Shan once concluded that Li Daoxuan will be defeated.

They will listen to anyone who can give them hope...not to mention Liu Jun, who has been in the battlefield, is so obedient to Li Shan.

Not only Liu Jun, Zhang Xuansu, a well-known scholar in Shandong, Zhang Wenguan, a descendant of the Zhang family in Qinghe, Ling Jing, who almost broke the siege of Luoyang with a single word...all bowed their heads and ears.

Now Tian Liu'an seemed to know why, he asked casually while staring at the outside of the city.

Zhang Xuansu and Zhang Wenguan were a little nervous, and Ling Bo had been through the war for a long time, but he still had time to talk nonsense, so he spoke one by one in a bitter tone. Although there was a lot of contempt for Li Shan's judgment, there was also some veiled praise.

Tian Liu'an was a little frightened. In such a desperate situation, daring to break the boat and attack the camp at night is indeed not something ordinary people can do, it is indeed quite courageous.

Five miles outside the city, two groups of hundreds of cavalry stood facing each other.

At some point, the sun in the sky had already hidden in the thick clouds, and the cold wind was blowing. Li Shan shivered, and glanced at the Turkic youth whose hands were still tied tightly beside him, "Don't do it again next time." Hit someone's hand."

Seeing his elder brother on the opposite side from a distance, the Turkic youth no longer held back, stared at Li Shan viciously, and said in fluent Chinese: "There must be a day of goodbye!"

Li Shan smiled, "You're not stupid."

"I remember that I haven't escaped yet, but I didn't say... Later, I will lead the army to break the city, and cut someone into pieces."

The Turkic youth turned pale, as if his mind had been exposed.

Li Shan didn't care, when the Turkic army would return to the north... It's hard to say, even if the Turkic army attacked the city tomorrow, it was still possible.

But Li Shan has already asked, Tian Liuan and Ling Bo all asserted that there is no shortage of food and grass in Guantao City, and there are enough troops, not to mention the Turkic people who are not good at attacking the city, even if Liu Heita leads the main force to attack, it will definitely take a long time .

Even if the crown prince wanted to wait until the Turks returned to the north, he would not have to wait for more than a month before sending troops after the Spring Festival, right?

"Go." Li Shan pushed the Turkic youth, turned his head and ordered, "Please also invite Brother Su and Uncle Guo to come forward."

Su Dingfang and Guo Pu rode out with horses in their hands, leading the Turkic youths on foot to the north. At the same time, a group of people came out of the opposite Turkic army and came slowly.

The atmosphere was somewhat dignified. The Turkic youth squinted at those passing by, got on his horse, and drove towards the Turkic army.

Suddenly a horse drove out from the Tang army formation.

"Your Highness!" Liu Jun jumped down without waiting for the horse to stop, the joy on his face was beyond words.

Li Daoxuan is quite tall, elegant in leisure time, and heroic in battle, but after being captured for many days, his complexion is sallow and haggard.

"you……"

"Your Highness, get on your horse!"

Li Daoxuan's lips twitched, then he shook his head, he was only willing to walk, and he didn't even want to talk much.

Gradually, gradually, Li Daoxuan's footsteps became slower and slower, because in his line of sight, there appeared a person that he did not want to see again.

"He..." Li Daoxuan suddenly tilted his head and asked.

Liu Jun said in a low voice: "My subordinates fled westward, from Xiabo to the south, all the counties have changed their flags, entered Beizhou and were pursued by the rebels, fortunately, Li Langjun came to help, and attacked the enemy camp at night, breaking Wucheng, All the way south, Tian Liuan, the general manager of Weizhou, came to meet him."

After a pause, Liu Jun added: "The Turk was captured alive by Li Langjun in Jizhou."

Li Daoxuan gritted his teeth, if he said he didn't want to see him before, he could only say he was ashamed at this moment.

After being captured for many days, Li Daoxuan thought countless times of Li Shan's words before the start of the war, his analysis of the battle situation, his precautions against Shi Wanbao, and finally Li Shan's bitter words after his disappointment.

He didn't listen to the advice, and was defeated and captured. In the end, the other party rescued him. Complicated emotions surged deep in his heart, and Li Daoxuan couldn't help but stop.

Li Shan is not so emotional, this is the season of harvest... Although he was kicked by the Turkic people, he was not in any danger after all.

Li Daoxuan's survival will inevitably increase the weight of Li Shan's pawn a lot.

After carefully looking at the people who were not far away, Li Shan smiled and looked far away, and said casually, "You said that Turkic leader is a khan?"

Zhou Zhao nodded and said: "I heard that he is called a khan, but the grassland is quite chaotic, there are many khans big and small, I don't know which one it is."

"No matter who it is, he is a kind person." Li Shan commented in this way, recalling in his mind that Tuli Khan later voted for Tang, and he didn't know if it was this person.

He was indeed a kind man, not only Li Daoxuan was sent back, but even Xue Zhong, the commander of the army, was sent back, and dozens of people were also sent back. Li Shan glanced, some were Li Daoxuan's personal guards, and some were Li Daoxuan's generals.

This is a big discount after buy one get one free, how can you not be kind?

Zhou Zhao on the side poked Li Shan, pouted his mouth forward, and Li Shan realized... Li Daoxuan stopped in his tracks.

This is shameful!

"Brother Daoxuan." Li Shan stepped forward, saluted, and said gently: "Victory and defeat are nothing but a common matter in military affairs. If Brother Daoxuan falls down because of this, he will no longer have the style he used to..."

"Stop it!" Li Daoxuan's voice was sharp and hasty.

Li Shan sighed slightly, the blow to Li Daoxuan was too heavy in the defeat of Xia Bo, which made the face of this young man who was less than 20 years old full of decadence and ashes.

"I have heard Brother Liu's account of the first battle of the next Bo. The defeat in this battle is due to Shi Wanbao's failure to move forward, so that Brother Daoxuan fell into a tight siege after breaking the formation." Li Shan said softly: "If it wasn't so, Brother Daoxuan would have Even if the battle is difficult to win, it will not be defeated."

Li Daoxuan looked a little better... Li Shan naturally directed the firepower to Shi Wanbao.

This is as it should be, if it wasn't for Shi Wanbao's troubles, Li Daoxuan thought that even if he lost, his entire army would not be wiped out.

"Leaving the city to the south that day, if brother Daoxuan hadn't escorted him with elite personal guards, my younger brother would have been unable to capture the Turkic man alive." Li Shan smiled lightly, "One drink and one peck, it depends on the share."

Seeing that Li Daoxuan was still silent, Li Shan sighed: "Leaving the city to the south, it's my younger brother who deserted. Brother Daoxuan won't forgive me?"

Li Daoxuan took a step back suddenly, and gave a long bow, "I dare not or forget in this life."

"It's over, it's over." Li Shan helped Li Daoxuan up, "When we met for the first time, we felt like old friends at the first sight. Brother Daoxuan doesn't despise the younger brother's vulgarity, and regards him as a friend. In this life, he is willing to help each other to move forward, from the beginning to the end."

As soon as he said it, Li Shan felt something was wrong... He said the wrong thing!
If it were an old fox like Ling Bo, he might suspect that Li Shan was saying... a life-saving grace, this kind of favor can last a lifetime!

Fortunately, Li Daoxuan was in a mess at the moment, and he was young, so he didn't think about it.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Li Shan wanted to add a few more words to exaggerate the atmosphere, but Zhou Zhao's cough interrupted his thoughts.

"Brother Li, someone is coming over there." Su Dingfang snatched closer and pointed to the north.

Five or six Turkic men were approaching on horseback and stopped between the two armies. One of the horsemen approached and shouted loudly: "Please see the doctor!"

"Please see the doctor!"
