Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1438 Weird

The day after the Xuanwumen Incident, King Wei Si and his family had moved to the Li family mansion in Yanshoufang in Chang'an City.

After that, first there was the Jingzhao War, and then Li Shan led the army to conquer Hedong. His family, some of his disciples, and his guards have been living in Yanshoufang.

Nowadays, Li Shan's status in the Tang Dynasty is needless to say, but because he led a large army on the expedition, he did not accept guests. The Zhu family stayed behind closed doors, and Cui Shiniang was even more potbellied.

However, the so-called not accepting guests is what is said to outsiders. The relatively close families are naturally coming and going. For example, the Changsun family who is visiting today, her husband and son are now under Li Shan, and today she also brought Here comes the crown princess who has not yet been officially canonized.

The appearance of the Crown Princess in the Li family naturally has political implications. This empress in history talked and laughed happily, and got along well with Zhu and Cui Shiniang.

It was about to leave the office, and just as the Changsun sisters were about to leave, there was the sound of rapid footsteps outside, followed by Xiaoman's excited shouts.

"What?" The Crown Princess suddenly stood up with a joyful smile on her face, "A great victory in Daizhou?!"

"Really!" Xiaoman said breathlessly: "The one who came was Alang's personal guard Zhu Feng. Everyone else entered the imperial city. Alang reported the victory with Lubu. Xinzhou and Daizhou were victorious. The Turks were defeated, either with heavy casualties or abandoned. The horse descended."

Hearing the words "Lu Bu reported victory", Cui Shiniang and Zhu looked at each other. Like Ling Jing, they also discovered that such a big fanfare was not Li Shan's usual style.

At this time, the whole city was in an uproar. The battle report of Daizhou's victory spread throughout Chang'an in a short time. The Crown Princess quickly returned to the palace after congratulating her repeatedly, while the Zhu family and the Zhang family who came over repeatedly asked Zhu Feng... They did not care about the success or failure of the war. , only concerned about Li Shan's safety.

As soon as Zhu Feng finished speaking, there was an announcement from outside, and Princess Pingyang also rushed over.

"Speak slowly." Princess Pingyang looked slightly cold and pointed at Zhu Feng, "Let's start with Bingzhou."

"Sister?" Cui Shiniang was a little surprised. Just now Zhu Feng had repeatedly assured that Alang did not go into battle in person this time and was unscathed.

Princess Pingyang's eyes moved, she stared at Zhu Feng and asked, "Do you know the content of that letter?"

"I don't know." Zhu Feng was a little confused. This time he came to Chang'an, in addition to revealing the victory, he also brought a total of three letters, namely from the prince, Ling Gong and Princess Pingyang.

In fact, there were four letters, and one was delivered to Li Yuan by Princess Pingyang.

"Pingyang?" Zhu couldn't help but worry.

"Listen to him first." Princess Pingyang comforted her a few words, "He is Huairen's personal guard. If there was something wrong, he would have made it clear long ago."

Zhu Feng had to start from the narration in front of the Bingzhou battle. When he heard that his brother Zhang Qianxiong and nephew Zhang Wenguan were out of danger, Mrs. Zhang was greatly relieved.

Princess Pingyang's face became increasingly ugly, and she secretly scolded her for insisting on taking such risks!

Although she is slightly inferior in strategy... well, it should be greatly inferior, Princess Pingyang's military ability and vision are not inferior to anyone's.

After listening to Zhu Feng's detailed account of the war, Princess Pingyang immediately judged that Li Shan's plan for the war was actually walking a tightrope... it was too risky.

Because Li Shan handed over all his most elite troops to Su Dingfang and Yu Chigong, the Chinese army only retained Liu Heier, Qin Qiong and other generals, and most of them were remnants of the Bingzhou Army and were not strong in combat power.

Starting from Bingzhou, he went north to Xinzhou to pursue the Turks. Li Shan's own troops were not strong enough to defeat the enemy, but he was at a disadvantage. That is to say, Tuli Khan was relatively weak. If he were replaced by Jieli Khan or Dubu Khan, he would have to turn back. If they fight again... it is possible for the Tang army to be defeated.

Even if it was the Xinzhou War, if it weren't for the fire in Dingxiang County, it would be hard to say where the war would go.

After hearing this, Princess Pingyang thought silently for a moment and suddenly asked: "Who wrote these letters?"

Zhu Feng said blankly: "There is Duke Xihe... By the way, there is also King Ma Bin." Princess Pingyang asked again: "Are you really not injured?"

"We are not determined!" Zhu Feng swore pointing to the sky, "Since Jinzhou went north, Duke Wu, Ah Hei, Duke Guzang, and Duke Yi have been the vanguard. Even in Xinzhou, Duke Lu and Duke Yi led the troops."

"By the time Alang led the Chinese army to Fanzhi to encircle the Turks, the overall situation had been decided, and Alang couldn't even see the Turks."

Zhu interrupted and asked, "Are there any casualties among the others?"

Zhu Feng shook his head, "The guards did not participate in the exhibition this time. They only searched for the remnants of the army after the Fanzhi battle. However, the governor of Daizhou, Licheng County Duke, and Youzhou Sima Guoguo were killed, and the governor of Luozhou was seriously injured."

Princess Pingyang was still frowning and thinking hard. Cui Shiniang explained to Zhu in a low voice, "The Duke of Licheng County was Qin Wutong. When Alang took charge of the prefecture, he was the Sima of Shuozhou. The Duke of Guo State was Huang Junhan. During the Renzhi Palace Incident, In order to control Alang, the general manager of Luozhou was Cheng Mingzhen, and it was Alang who allowed him to behead Liu Heita in revenge. "

Mrs. Zhu was quite familiar with the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she had paid little attention to them in recent years. While responding, she thought about her son's network of connections... He really could make connections anywhere.

This is true. Renshou Palace and Renzhi Palace came to rescue twice, and not only Li Yuan, Li Shimin and his son were rescued, but also so many officials. This time he led the army, and all the Tiance Mansion under his command obeyed, and there was also this aspect reasons.

Princess Pingyang over there thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally she could only ask: "The war has ended now?"

Zhu Feng hesitated for a while and whispered: "That's not true. In fact, he was sent back to Beijing by Alang, but the other messengers all set off from Bingzhou."

"Ok?"

Zhu Feng lowered his voice again, "In the battle of Fanzhi, the Turks fell into a desperate situation and collapsed. A small group fled into Mount Heng. Tuli Khan and more than a thousand Turks were trapped on the top of the mountain."

"Oh oh oh oh!" Princess Pingyang finally understood this time, and couldn't help but...first she was enlightened, then understood, and finally smiled bitterly.

To put it bluntly, it is the same as the last time Li Shanxue invited herself back to Beijing after leaving Xiaoguan at night, but the last time was due to internal and external troubles, and this time...

After sending Zhu Feng away, Princess Pingyang took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Zhu, "Huairen's letter said that the war was tragic and several generals were killed. He was also hit by an arrow and could not get up. Please return to the capital to recuperate."

Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and Cui Shiniang nodded and said, "Alang has always behaved this way, and it is reasonable."

Princess Pingyang smiled bitterly and said: "But Tuli Khan is trapped... Do you want your father and second brother to choose someone else to lead the army?"

"Hedong Road Marching Marshal's Mansion...the deputy is Su Dingfang. He can't be Wen Yanbo, the Duke of Xihe County, right?"

"Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong don't have this face either..."

"Choose another person from the court to lead the army...who is willing?"

Zhu couldn't help but nod in agreement. His son had done everything... After his successor arrived at Fanzhi, he would at most order the capture and killing of Tuli Khan.

In this DPRK...who is shameless?

This time, more than 100,000 Turkic troops attacked Shuozhou, broke through Yanmen, plundered Daizhou, and trapped Bingzhou. The troops reached as far as Jinzhou and Jiangzhou, and were almost reaching the Yellow River. However, Li Huairen led his troops northward. Within a month, Lien Zhan and Lien Jie... Such battles must be left in the annals of history. Who wants to leave such a shameless reputation in the history books?

Although the three of them knew Li Shan well, Cui Shiniang, the youngest, thought the most clearly. Of course, it was also because Li Shan had told him in private...the key is to show attitude.

As for whether it can succeed... Cui Shiniang thought, there must be no other way, who is willing to take over?

Ling Jing, who had already entered the Liangyi Palace at this time, glanced at the prince who had just met him in Shangshu Province.

Well, Ling Jing's eyes were quite sharp, and he noticed the weird smile on Li Shimin's face that he couldn't hide.
