Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 129
The days are short in winter, and the setting sun is already half-hidden on the distant mountain peaks. Another day has passed, and horns sound from time to time outside the city.

On the city wall, Tian Liu'an sneered, "Pretending to be!"

It was indeed an act of pretentiousness, and the sound of the horn was used by the Turkic army to send troops to the center, but at the end of the day, the cavalry in the city attacked twice, and sent scouts in batches to investigate... The Qingqi outside the city were not Turkic.

Obviously, Liu Heitai didn't have too much confidence. He urgently built siege equipment, and he didn't even have enough confidence to suppress the harassment of the Tang Army cavalry in Guantao City.

"A helpless move." Li Shan commented: "However, Liu Heita will attack Weizhou."

Ma Zhou nodded in agreement, "You can't attack Xiangzhou... If you attack Xiangzhou, the Turkic army will probably disrupt Luozhou. Of course, it is also because the Turkic army entered Weizhou that Liu Heitai will attack Weizhou eastward."

After everyone discussed for a while, Tian Liu'an looked at Ling Jing, "What do you think, sir?"

Ling Jing pursed his thin lips, and then said in a deep voice: "Liu Heitai is actually not good at attacking cities. He swept Hebei and Shandong twice. Defeating the enemy in the field is rarely done by a large army.”

"At the beginning of the year, Li Quhuo took Luoshui County and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Wang Junkuo and Luo Shixin successively led thousands of people to defend the city. Liu Heitai's main force attacked for more than [-] days, until all the trees and stones in the city were exhausted, and the old troops fought back before breaking the city. .”

Everyone present knew that Ling Jing was talking about the battle before the great victory in Luoshui. Luo Shixin was killed in this battle. However, only a few days after the fall of Luoshui County, Liu Heita had no choice but to abandon the city and was finally killed by Li Shimin beside Luoshui. rout.

Tian Liu'an accurately captured the key point of Ling Jing's words, "A counterattack from the old army?"

Ling Jing nodded, "Weizhou also fell last year, who knows if there is Liu Heita's old department in Guantao City?"

Xue Zhong added, "There may also be Dou Jian... Xia Wang's former department, we must guard against it."

Zhang Xuansu immediately suggested, "It is strictly forbidden to move around in the city, so as to prevent the enemy from cooperating inside and outside."

"Search for Liu Heita's old department... the people of Xu County will sue!" Liu Jun shouted viciously.

Li Shan glanced at Tian Liu'an, who was in deep thought, and asked Cui Xin, Guantao Ling, "Cui Ming Mansion, is there any old department of Liu Heita in the city... the one with a little reputation."

Cui Xin nodded hesitantly, "There is a person, Yuan Zhulin, who used to be a general under Liu Heitai's command. The Weizhou family is said to have a personal relationship with Liu Heitai. This person is quite famous in Guantao."

Liu Jun yelled sharply, "Immediately go to prison!"

"Such people should be searched immediately." Zhang Wenguan was a little anxious.

Cui Xin looked hesitantly at Tian Liu'an who was still silently staring at the outside of the city, coughing a few times, Ma Zhou, Liu Jun, Xue Zhong, and Zhang Wenguan's urging stopped abruptly.

Cui Xin looked at Li Shan in surprise. From yesterday to today, he has been the magistrate of Guantao County, but he still doesn't know the identity of this person, but he just coughed a few times and told everyone to shut up.

Although Tian Liu'an has no outstanding talents, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is determined and steady. He is by no means mediocre. After a while, he looked back, "Leading the garden bamboo forest to come here."

This is a dark-skinned big man with a strong body and a slightly bitter face. He bowed and bowed down, his eyes wandered and flickered.

"I heard that you are an old friend of the Eastern King of Han?" Tian Liu'an's tone could not be described as harsh, nor could he be described as gentle.

"The villain mistakenly befriended a gangster, and he cut off his robes." Yuan Zhulin lowered his head.

Zhang Wenyu shouted: "Nonsense, last year you gathered a crowd in Beizhou to revolt and attached yourself to Liu Heita!"

"To shut up!"

Zhang Wenguan turned his head and saw Li Shan's cold eyes, so he had to shut up resentfully.

Tian Liu'an nodded slightly to Li Shan, and continued to ask: "Are you unemployed now?"

"Yes."

"I heard that you are quite famous in Guantao City?"

"Don't dare."

Tian Liu'an didn't ask any more questions, but waved his hand and said, "There are hundreds of personal guards around a certain person. The leader died in Luoshui at the beginning of the year. Are you willing to take on this important task?"

Li Daoxuan, who had been silent all this time, turned his head in amazement and saw that the personal guard is the most reliable support of a general, and the leader of the personal guard is not a person of trust, and a man who dares to die cannot be a leader.

It's too risky for Tian Liu'an to let this old friend of Liu Heitai be the head of the personal guard.

Yuan Zhulin looked up in surprise, "Little man..."

"Don't use people who are suspicious, don't use people with suspicion."

Tian Liu'an looked at the guard behind him, the latter hesitated, took off a bunch of keys from his waist and handed them to Yuan Zhulin.

Zhang Xuansu and Liu Jun were shocked, and even Xue Zhong, who has always been calm, couldn't help but change his face. A bunch of keys were all given to Yuan Zhulin... Among them were the keys to the treasury, and the keys to the warehouse. They even saw them all. Hours ago, the county lieutenant chained all the keys of the city defense with his own hands.

Yuan Zhulin held the bunch of keys and stood there dumbfounded.

Tian Liu'an ignored it and continued to observe the outside of the city with squinted eyes.

Soon, the sky was getting dark and the rangers had already returned to the camp. After a discussion, everyone went back to their homes. Tian Liuan strode out a few steps, suddenly turned around and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?"

Yuan Zhulin's body shook, he grabbed the keychain, and followed him with confused eyes.

Half an hour later, Li Shan personally made a pot of braised pork... This afternoon, he killed several pigs, and Zhu Ba went to snatch a few big pieces back.

Ma Zhou's face was a bit ugly, what can't be done to make braised pork... Two months ago, the bandits attacked the village, and he was forced to eat a big pot by Li Shan, and now he feels like vomiting just looking at it.

In addition to Li Shan and Ma Zhou, Li Daoxuan, Xue Zhong, and Ling Jing were present.

Liu Jun lives in the military camp, Su Dingfang now regards himself as the leader of the guards, and eats with all the guards.

"Today Manager Tian's move is a little risky, but also quite courageous." Xue Zhong praised: "Such a righteous act will definitely influence this person."

"Humph!"

"hey-hey!"

Two strange sounds sounded at the same time, Li Shan and Ling Jing looked at each other, the two foxes, one big and one small, had strange eyes, both of them were the kind of people with darker psychology.

Li Daoxuan, who was unwilling to eat, asked casually: "Brother Li?"

Li Shan chewed a piece of meat, and said with a smile: "Dou Jiande and Liu Heita have lived in Hebei and Shandong for many years. Manager Tian is buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars."

Ling Jing snorted, "I heard that you have a good relationship with King Huaiyang, and it seems like that today!"

Talking about it yesterday, you can think of Yang Guang's murder of his father and seizing the throne... so vicious, with such deep thoughts, how can you not think of the profound meaning of Tian Liu'an's move today?

Li Daoxuan was taken aback, then turned to stare at Li Shan.

"Nephew only thinks of this..."

Li Shan stopped talking in the middle of his sentence... Ling Jing on the opposite side said with his eyes, you are really shameless, calling yourself a nephew!

Li Shan laughed a few times, to be honest... he himself felt a little nauseous.

After thinking for a while, Li Shan put down his chopsticks, and said softly: "Yuan Zhulin is quite famous, and he can respond to everyone, and he is also an old friend of Liu Heita, not ordinary Xia Wang and Liu Heita's former department."

"If Yuan Zhulin really wants to cooperate with the inside and outside to destroy the city, it is necessary to contact the old department and gather people to riot, but Director Tian takes this person as the head of the personal guard... Naturally, he must be with him at all times."

Ling Bo concentrated on picking up the fatty meat on the plate, he was too old to bite the lean meat, so he casually said, "What else?"

Li Shan coughed twice: "What happened today, if there are still King Xia and Liu Heita's old troops in the city, and they haven't seen Yuan Zhulin for a long time, they must think that they have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Even if they think about it before, I'm afraid they will die."

After listening to Li Shan's words, Li Daoxuan and Xue Zhong looked at each other, their eyes were confused, and they both doubted life.

This is obviously a generous act of righteousness, but after Li Shan's analysis, how did it change completely?
And Li Shan and Ling Jing who concentrate on eating meat...although they didn't speak, they felt a little sympathetic to each other.

Uh, you can also change the word, it smells similar.
