Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

He found a place in Shangshu Province and squinted his eyes for a moment. He was urged to get up before dawn. Li Shan stood by the Suzaku Gate, rubbing his eyes and looking to the southwest. Not far away was Yanshoufang.

Just as many soldiers rushed to Hedong if they couldn't go home to take a look, what reason did Li Shan have to go home to take a look, even though his wife was pregnant.

Li Shan felt a lot of apologies in his heart. In the months after Eleven Niang became pregnant, he was first worried about Renzhi Palace. After the rebellion was put down, he began to worry about seizing the legitimate son. After the end, Li Shan had to shoulder the responsibility of leading the army to resist Hu Qi. The war is going on, and now Li Shan is going to Hedong again.

Li Shan suddenly remembered that he had seen a pregnant woman about to give birth in the obstetrics and gynecology department in her previous life... The husband rushed back in a hurry. He had not been with his wife for more than half a month after seven or eight months, and was scolded by the four old people standing by. The dog's head is bloody.

I should be able to get back in time.

Li Shan once asked, maybe it would be better if I didn't tell you this... Cui Shiniang said this after thinking about it. Although she was worried and scared, she preferred Lang Jun's honesty.

"Alang."

Li Shan turned around and saw Liu Heier, followed by Duan Zhixuan, Hou Hongtao, Qu Silang and others. In the fight last night, Duan Zhixuan and Hou Hongtao finally defeated Wei Chigong... The latter's popularity was really not very good, and his subordinates Hu Yan, Chang He, and Ma Sanbao could not help, and finally the Yanzhou cavalry fell into Liu Heier's hands.

The left army led by Liu Hei'er was the first group to set off and was also the vanguard of this battle. Before dawn today, he had to leave the city and rush to Yueyang and Xinfeng to set up troops.

"Has Duke Xihe already mentioned something?"

"Yes." Liu Heier responded, "After ordering the troops and setting off, we will first go to Weinan to collect food and grass, and then go north to Longmen. The ordnance has been replenished."

Li Shan nodded and whispered: "Your uncle is imprisoned. Most of his clan members are in the Liangzhou area. Yi Nan will return north first and will be released later."

After a pause, Li Shan added: "Don't worry, His Majesty has forgiven me."

"Thank you, Alang." Liu Heier saluted.

More than half a month ago, during the continuous fierce attack by the Turks, the Jihu leader Liu Nucheng had no choice but to surrender. However, Liu Heier's younger brother Liu Bao still led nearly 3,000 Jihu cavalry in the Mingsha camp.

In later generations, this would be called the head of the rat, but in this era, it is reasonable... In fact, Er Zhuhuan was the prince's confidant, and Li Shan could barely be regarded as the head of the rat, but neither Li Yuan nor Li Shimin thought that meaning.

This is called normal operation.

"After this battle, regardless of whether the Turks can be unified, the Tang Dynasty will surely prosper, and no one can match it for at least a hundred years." Li Shan said with emphasis: "Jihu settled in Lingzhou and Huizhou, and the people of the Tang Dynasty will be safe."

Liu Heier simply responded and led the generals to get on their horses. Li Shan watched from a distance, and Ma Zhou's voice sounded around him.

"There are many generals including Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Hongji, Qian Jiulong, and Duan Zhixuan. Is it really appropriate for Liu Heier to lead the army?"

"Suitable." Li Shan replied in a conclusive tone.

Ma Zhou found it difficult to understand that so many generals were more senior than Liu Hei'er. Even in terms of military strategy, Liu Hei'er was not unique. Last night, at least four or five people could be selected to stand alongside him.

But Li Shan still insisted on using Liu Hei'er, and also placed his old subordinates such as Qu Hong, Hou Hongtao, Duan Zhixuan, and Zhang Baoxiang under his command to ensure that Liu Hei'er could do what he could. Li Shan did not explain anything. Yesterday, he keenly discovered some clues from Li Shimin's words. This prince, who may be crowned emperor next year or at the latest the year after, maintains a face consistent with history books.

Heroic, tough, arrogant and extremely eager for military success and territory.

Li Shan once guessed that in history, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty tried his best to create a prosperous age of Zhenguan, driving so many generals to conquer so much territory, and the legacy he left behind allowed Tang Gaozong's troops to reach as far as the Western Regions. It was because of the stain of the Xuanwu Gate Incident that Li Shimin had the desire to prove himself to Li Yuan, to the world, and to future generations.

But now it seems that Li Shan's guess may not be correct, at least not the whole answer. Loss of thinking

Ashina Simo, who was captured alive in the battle the day before yesterday, received courtesy from Li Shimin, and Li Yuan even intended to confer a knighthood on him.

Even another Turkic general who was captured alive, Zhi Le, was not beheaded. You must know that it was this man who made a brazen raid in Mobei, beheaded Cui Mingan, the minister of Huangmen, the Tang envoy, and forced Tie Le to raise his troops and go south.

Li Shan quickly judged that Li Shimin still intended to use General Hu to lead the army in the future to conquer the grasslands of Mobei and even the Western Regions.

To be fair, there is nothing wrong with it. Similar things have happened many times in history. When these Hu generals return to the grasslands, they will work harder than ordinary Tang generals... Historically, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed DTZ, it attacked the grassland tribes and resisted the Tibetan invasion. There are all barbarian generals.

Moreover, even the serious generals of the Tang Dynasty often had the blood of the Hu people. For example, the generals Wei Chigong and Qu Tutong were both of the Hu people. Shi Danai’s surname was Ashina. Even Li Shan himself had the blood of the Hu people. Bloodline.

In later generations, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, many Ming Dynasty generals surrendered to Hou Jin. After going into battle, they did not dare to fight before, and all of them were brave.

It's just because there is no way out.

Therefore, Li Shancai pushed Liu Heier out, and Li Shimin was very satisfied with it.

After daybreak, Yuchi Gong led the second group of generals to set off and set off with troops at Xianyang, Jingyang, Yunyang and other places.

Outside the Liangyi Palace, Li Shan was discussing the details with Li Shimin. The latter was very curious about Li Shan's thinking mode... Li Shan was used to making preparation plans for possible accidents and was very meticulous.

In Han Liang's evaluation, Li Shan has the style of a Wuhou... Zhuge Liang's leadership style is like this, because at critical moments, it is difficult for Zhuge Liang to personally lead the troops into battle and turn the tide with his personal bravery and appeal, so he often arranges multiple channels Backhand.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "This battle is not difficult. Daoxuan and Daozong guard Bingzhou, and the Turks cannot break the city. Only Liu Shirang and Li Shiji of Shuozhou are worrying. Huairen's battle should be fought both urgently and slowly."

Li Shan responded. He had no friendship with Li Shiji, but Liu Shirang was his direct descendant. Naturally, he did not want to see the Turks attack Mayi when they returned north.

"I remember my father reminded me that Huairen is not allowed to come to the battlefield in person during this battle." Li Shimin glanced at Er Zhuhuan, Wang Junhao, Han Liang and others beside Li Shan.

Li Shan couldn't help but laugh, "I heard last night that during the Battle of Baibi, His Royal Highness personally investigated the military situation and slept with a bodyguard on the hill. If it hadn't been disturbed by snakes and insects..."

Li Shimin laughed and scolded, and led the way out. If a snake hadn't disturbed the guard and woke up Li Shimin from his deep sleep... hundreds of soldiers under Song Jingang's command would have already begun to siege the hill.

Half an hour later, outside Chang'an Tonghua Gate, Li Shan glanced at Li Shimin and Ling Jing, Fang Xuanling, Cui Xin and others behind him, raised his wine cup, and drank it all.
