Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 138 It's Really Enough
In a courtyard in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, a middle-aged man with a cloudy expression walked back and forth. This man was a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, and one of the few Li Shiji who was able to end his life and had to end his life.

Li Shiji was light and good at fighting, both civil and military, good at using tricks, and he was regarded as loyal and loyal when he voted for Tang because of Li Mi.

But in fact, Li Shiji has been in a whirlpool since he entered Wagang Village...to be precise, after Li Mi entered Wagang Village.

Li Mi and Zhai Rang fought, and Li Shiji was almost hacked to death on the spot. Later, he surrendered to Tang and was forced to serve as Dou Jiande. Even his father almost lost his life.

Therefore, after entering the Tang Dynasty, Li Shiji has always been cautious, not daring to overstep a little, for fear of being caught in the battle between the East Palace and the Qin Palace.

But today, old friends are pressing each other, and his hometown is in danger, Li Shiji has to make a painful choice... The crux of the problem is that if he doesn't disclose the information, his old friends can find other ways, and King Qin must see his preference after hearing that he refuses to recommend him. East Palace.

Hearing the sound outside the door, Li Shiji personally opened the side door and welcomed several people into the mansion.

"Meet Your Highness."

"This is an old acquaintance, why did Mao Gong perform such a great gift?" Li Shimin smiled heartily, and helped Li Shiji up with his own hands.

Li Shiji spoke righteously, "In the past on the battlefield, you couldn't give a full ceremony, but today Beijing and China invite you rashly, so you want a full ceremony."

Li Shimin felt relieved when he heard it. Although he said it tactfully and did not show his loyalty, Li Shiji is such a cautious person... After all, Li Mi is already dead.

Only Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji came with Li Shimin, and the four walked towards the backyard, while Li Shiji introduced the visitors in a low voice.

"Zhang Wenguan, a descendant of the Zhang family in Qinghe, was born in Weizhou. After the Turks broke through Beizhou, he went south to Weizhou. His ancestor Zhang Yanzhi served in the Northern Wei Dynasty and Northern Qi Dynasty. His father Zhang Qianxiong was the magistrate of Yangcheng."

Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows, "I know Zhang Yanzhi, the Viscount of Wucheng, this man has extraordinary literary talents, has martial arts skills, fights with soldiers, and personally won the first rank. He is an important general under the king of Qinghe County."

The king of Qinghe County is Gao Yue, a famous general of the Northern Qi clan, and Gao Yue's grandson is Gao Shilian, the uncle of Changsun Wuji.

Going round and round, if Zhang Wenguan could relate to Gao Shilian, if he could relate to Gao Shilian, then he could relate to Changsun Wuji, and then he could also relate to Li Shimin.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Qin..."

"Don't get up." Li Shimin took two quick steps, and pressed Zhang Wenguan who was about to get up on the couch, "You are so young, you don't rest for three days, and you need to train for a long time to ride a horse."

The 15-year-old Zhang Wenguan was a bit cautious, looked at Li Shiji, and only leaned on the couch at Li Shimin's insistence. He was really tired, and had already fallen asleep just now.

After everyone sat down, Du Ruhui first asked the most concerned question in Beijing, "After the Turkic soldiers broke through Beizhou, where did they raise their troops?"

"Going south to attack Weizhou, there are about [-] cavalry. Later, Liu Heikai marched eastward from Luozhou, joined forces, and stormed Guantao." Zhang Wenguan said angrily: "I will cross the river from Weizhou, and enter Hedong from Shaanxi Road, and see it with my own eyes. As you can see, the king of Qi has tens of thousands of troops, and he is not moving forward!"

Everyone exchanged glances. How could Li Yuanji march northward without the order from the East Palace?

What's more, Qi Shanxing and Tian Liu'an, the only remaining three prefectures in Hebei Province, both work part-time in the six guards' mansions on the left and right sides of King Qin's mansion. Cheng Mingzhen followed Li Shimin to defeat Liu Heizhen at the beginning of the year.

Seeing that Du Ruhui wanted to ask more questions, Li Shimin coughed twice, and changed the subject. You must know that the Zhang family of Qinghe is a powerful family in Shandong, second only to the five surnames and seven families.

"In the first battle of Xiabo, Huaiyang Prince disappeared, and Zhigui came from Shandong, do you know one or two things?"

"The king of Huaiyang is currently in Guantao." Zhang Wenguan licked his dry lips, his voice was slightly hoarse, "Brother Huairen captured Yu Gushe alive, and exchanged for the king of Huaiyang, the marching officer Xue Zhong and others outside Guantao city. Ten generals."

"Ashina wants to set up a valley?"

"The eldest son of Jieli Khan?!"

Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji blurted out, their expressions were quite shocked. It is not an exaggeration to say that although Yugu is not the overlord on the grassland, it has a very high status. From Shibi Khan, Turkic Khan has always been brother to brother. But it is very likely that in the term of Jieli Khan, it was passed on from father to son.

Li Shimin was stunned for a while, and then said: "The land of Huaiyang King survived... Uh, who is Huairen?"

"Oh..." Zhang Wenguan just remembered that it was taken by Ling Jing not long ago, "Huairen is the name of brother Li Shanli."

After more than a month, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji were a little surprised when they suddenly heard this name. They all heard that Li Shan was praised by the crown prince Xima Wei Zheng, but they also knew that Li Shan had not been heard from after escorting grain and grass to Hebei.

Li Shimin couldn't help curling his lips quietly, this guy is really capable of tossing around!

After entering Beijing last year, there has been a lot of trouble in Chang'an in the past few months, and I have not made trouble in front of myself once or twice.

This time I went to Hebei, and even the dragon entered the sea... After a lot of hard work, I was able to capture Yugu She alive.

Changsun Wujihu questioned: "Is Li Shan also in Weizhou?"

"He escorted the food and grass to Xingzhou, how could he transfer to Weizhou?"

Zhang Wenguan shook his head and said, "Brother Huai went south from Jizhou."

Seeing that Changsun Wuji wanted to ask again, Li Shimin interrupted with coughing twice. Of course he now understands that Li Shan must be looking for Li Daoxuan... His wife once wrote a letter for Li Shan to bring to Li Daoxuan.

After receiving the hot water from Li Shiji, Zhang Wenguan drank a few sips, and then continued: "Before the first battle in Xiabo, brother Huairen urged the king of Huaiyang not to fight like a wave."

"It's a pity that the King of Huaiyang didn't listen to his advice, so Brother Huai immediately left the city and headed south. On the way, he met a Turkic ranger and captured Yugushe."

Li Shimin's expression remained unmoved, while Du Ruhui's expression remained firm, but he didn't say anything... After all, Li Shan was not under Li Daoxuan's command. After a few times of admonishment, he even exchanged Li Daoxuan with Yugu Set, which was the utmost benevolence.

"What's the real situation in the next battle?" Changsun Wuji asked in a low voice, "I heard that Shi Wanbao stopped moving forward?"

Zhang Wenguan sighed: "The king of Huaiyang led [-] elite cavalry to break through the formation. Duke Yuan claimed that he had the edict of a saint, and sat and watched the king of Huaiyang fall into the formation."

"Later, King Huaiyang was defeated and captured, tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry were swept away, and the entire [-] Tang army was wiped out..."

Following these few words, the room fell into silence, Li Shimin and the others looked gloomy, and they naturally thought, why Shi Wanbao, who is the deputy chief of the Hebei Road Army, has the edict of a saint?

When the army goes out to fight, the order is strict, there is no two days in the sky, and there is no two masters in the army. The saint Li Yuan is also used to fighting in the battlefield, so he will not understand this truth.

It could only be the trick of Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. Only he has the qualifications to ask for a sage's edict, and only he has the reason to check and balance Li Daoxuan, who is from the lineage of the King of Qin.

Li Shimin sighed deeply, he only thought that it was Li Daoxuan who sent troops in arrogance, and even lost the army, but he didn't expect that it was related to the dispute between himself and the East Palace.

Changsun Wuji lowered his head and wondered in his heart whether this proves that Donggong has long coveted Hebei and Shandong...

　I'm sorry, I've been really busy these days, and I won't be able to have a little space until the end of the CIIE on the 10th.
