Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1434 Good brother, don’t worry

Seeing the proud Dugu De, Liu Rengui, who rarely showed excitement, and Xue Wanche, who felt that he had succeeded and avenged his shame... Li Shan had a headache.

You are so kind, and you are doing such a good job!

Why did he bring out these guys? Zhang Zhongjian forced Dubu Khan to death. These three guys surrounded Tuli Khan tightly, and they still thought they had merit!

Well, it is indeed meritorious, and it may be a great achievement that will leave a name in history... But the problem is, what Li Shan wants is to push the merit.

It is impossible to let him go. With so many people watching, he can do some tricks in private to let Tuli Khan escape, but it is impossible to release him openly... This is the same as the situation when Tuli Khan was captured after the First World War in Jingzhou. It's completely different. Now Dubu Khan's body has been sent back to Chang'an.

What's more, the generals and soldiers below are not willing to do it. Who is willing to give up such a great achievement?

The remnants of the Daizhou Army who saw their hometown in ruins were even more unwilling. They wished they could eat its flesh and drink its blood.

Han Liang, Wen Daya, and Wen Yanbo looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to say. They were in favor of Li Shanzong Tuli Khan escaping, but now...

Ma Zhou couldn't hold back his laughter and even pulled Li Kai... The latter looked at Zhang Baoxiang with a few clicks of his tongue. This time the Bishui County Duke was forced to stay, but Tuli Khan still didn't run away.

Li Shan suppressed the irritability in his heart, comforted the three generals with kind words, and then asked: "How many people are trapped?"

"There are probably more than a thousand Turks on each of the two mountaintops." Xue Wanche replied: "They have been heavily surrounded and cut off the main roads. However, the mountains are rugged and difficult to navigate, and the Turks are condescending, making it difficult to conquer for a while."

Li Shan bit his lip unobtrusively, and Ma Zhou, who was watching secretly, turned his head behind Li Kai and laughed.

At this time, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Duan Zhixuan and other generals came to report one after another, and the war was almost over.

More than 10,000 Turks were beheaded, about 2,000 of them were beheaded. At the same time, about 4,000 people were forced to dismount and surrender. Some of the remaining Turks fled into Wutai Mountain, some into the Hengshan Mountains, and some scattered riders fled through the gaps, led by Wang Junhao and Erzhu. Huan led his bodyguard to pursue and kill him.

In other words, even if Tuli Khan can escape back to the grassland, it will still...cannot be said to be a great loss in strength, and 80% will fall to the bottom.

But he didn't run away.

Moreover, the three generals who led the army were all Li Shan’s old corps. Dugu De was an old corps of Daizhou. Good subordinates.

Even Liu Rengui... The most famous deed of this famous general in history is that he held the Chinese army flag and rushed into battle with Wei Siwang during the great victory in Jingzhou.

"All three of them have made great contributions in this battle. When they return to the capital one day, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince will be generous with their rewards." Li Shan said while glaring at Ma Zhou before continuing: "Brother Wan Che has already been given the title of Duke, how can we reward him?" I dare not say it, but Dugu and Zhengze... will definitely be promoted to the nobility!"

Liu Rengui was still stable, but Dugu De was already overjoyed.

Over there, Ma Zhou took Han Liang and Wen Daya to discuss a few words. The three of them took out the letters they had written a long time ago from their sleeves. Ma Zhou added a few sentences with a pen in his saddle, and dozens of guards and war horses. Set off immediately.

Li Shan was still there and continued to praise the three of them, "Brother Wanche followed Zhao Guogong to attack Shuozhou on a long distance, seize Yanmen Pass, and defeat the Daizhou Turks. He has made outstanding contributions."

"Dugu and Zhengze first launched a night attack in Dingxiang County, which enabled Duke Yi and Duke Lu to defeat the Turks, forcing the Tuli Khan to flee north in embarrassment."

"They all have such military exploits, and even trapped Tuli Khan, which is enough to boast about." Wen Yanbo said with a dead face: "But everything should be done in moderation."

"Ahem, cough!" Li Shan's mouth moved, and he pulled the three of them and whispered: "Whether it's captured alive or beheaded, you are the first to succeed, and there is no need to go into battle again."

Seeing Dugu De's face change slightly, Wen Yanbo snorted, "Your Highness the Prince of Wei is not a man without loyalty!" Ma Zhou, who had already sent the messenger away, came over and chuckled after hearing this, "The Duke of Xihe is right."

Wen Yanbo opened his mouth, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything... He originally wanted to say something along the lines of, how could Li Huairen kill his good brother who was sworn to Jinlan.

But the current situation... Wen Yanbo still didn't say anything. As for why he had a dead face, it was certainly because he remembered the old incident when Li Shan released Tuli Khan and asked him to take the blame.

Liu Rengui bowed his hands and said nothing, but Dugu De's thinking was a bit distorted... From the corner of his eye, he had already glanced at Qin Qiong and Xue Wanjun, the generals of Tiance Mansion.

Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could appease these three people... Fortunately, they were his old troops, otherwise Shuang Shiluo, Tian Liu'an, and Xue Wanjun would have succeeded. If he didn't use some means, he might not be able to control the situation.

Li Shan thought about it in his mind. The war was over. All that was left was to clean up the battlefield and capture a small number of Turks who had fled to various places. However, with nearly 30,000 cavalry and infantry concentrated in the Tang army, it was very difficult to supply food and grass.

Seeing Tian Liuan outside, Li Shan waved.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

"You and I are old acquaintances, so we don't have to pay such common courtesy." Li Shan smiled and took Tian Liuan's arm, "When will the grain and grass from Hebei be delivered?"

"We sent a messenger two days ago. According to the distance, a batch should be delivered tomorrow." Tian Liuan calculated, "But there are many injured horses on the battlefield."

"The horses that are difficult to recover will be killed and eaten for meat." Li Shan nodded and said: "There will be a banquet in Fanzhi tomorrow. It just so happens that a batch of wine was seized at Yanmen Pass to commemorate the merits of the generals."

"Qian Jiulong was ordered to garrison Xinzhou and Bingzhou, while Liu Hongji led three thousand infantry to go north to Bingzhou."

It's pitiful to think about it. It has been two months since Liu Hongji sent troops to Hedong, but he hasn't gained any military exploits at all. He has been rushing behind.

"After that, Tian Liuan and Shuang Shiluo led the Hebei infantry, and Su Dingfang and Yuchi Gong led 3,000 cavalry to stay in Fanzhi."

"The rest of the cavalry was commanded by King Rencheng and King Huaiyang to chase down the remaining enemies in Bingzhou and Xinzhou and garrisoned in Guoxian, Yuanping, Dingxiang, Xiurong and other places."

Han Liang nodded slightly when he heard this, thinking that although King Wei Si was young, he was well thought out. This battle surrounded the Turks on three sides. The most critical part was that Su Dingfang and Yu Chigong seized Yanmen Pass, and Yu Tian Liuan and Shuang Shiluo broke through Feihu Trail and held on to it. Bottle-shaped village.

The cavalry staying behind is just a name. In fact, if there is a war in the future, the Tang army in Hebei can only be used. Li Shan deliberately let Tian Liuan and Shuang Shiluo share the victory... After all, Huang Junhan was killed and Cheng Mingzhen was seriously injured.

Li Shan glanced at Xue Wanche and the others, "You go to Yanmen Pass, and Duke Cao will control you. I have something to explain later."

After arranging the general matters, Li Shan took Han Liang and others and whispered: "Let someone send a batch of dry food over."

Wen Daya and Han Liang were both confused. Who should they send dry food to?

Although there is not much food and grass in the army now, it can last for at least two days, and with so many horses being shot on the battlefield, there is no shortage of food.

Wen Yanbo, who knew Li Shan best, explained coolly, "To Tuli Khan..."

Li Shanqian laughed twice. If he wanted to practice Kung Fu, he needed to have a prerequisite... Tuli Khan had to be alive.

If Tuli Khan commits suicide in despair, then this credit will be firmly attached to Li Shan's head and cannot be shaken off.

After all, they are sworn brothers to Jinlan!

Good brother, don't worry, I will send you a batch of dry food. You should understand that you still have life, so don't commit suicide in a hurry!
