Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 145

Although he had already woken up, lying in the warm blanket with his head curled up was a rare habit for Li Shan in the cold winter.

In the previous life, the family was poor, and it was difficult when winter came. The worn-out cotton clothes were three years old, three years old, three years old, and three years mend.

This habit has continued to Li Shan's life and work in high school and university, and has also been brought to this era.

In the era of the early Tang Dynasty, keeping out the cold was a great headache for Li Shan. He was not afraid of heat, but he was afraid of cold.

Protruding his head slightly to breathe the fresh and cold air, Li Shan thought in his heart, asked Wang Renbiao to inquire about it last year, but found no cotton... Is it possible that it is not called cotton now?
If there is cotton, Li Shan can't weave cotton cloth, but it is still possible to take cotton seeds, dry them and pop them into quilts.

Also, Guanzhong is roughly the Shanxi area of ​​the later generations, which is rich in coal. I will try to get a briquette in the future. It is a bit uncomfortable for heating, and I need to make a ventilation channel, but at least it will be convenient for boiling water and cooking.

There was a mess of associations in his mind, and there was a lot of noise outside, Li Shan listened attentively, and could tell that it was Yuchi Baolin who made the urgency, Ling Jing who made sarcastic remarks, and Li Kai who smoothed things over.

Annoying... Li Shan lazily got up halfway, found out his clothes and put them on slowly.

Yuchi Baolin was bragging about the battle at Hulaoguan, and Ling Jing was sneering at the side... The implication was that Li Shimin was just lucky.

It made Yuchi Baolin want to compete with Su Dingfang, and now the generals of the Tang army in the city are full of praise for Su Dingfang... Su Dingfang is also confused, turning his head to look at Li Shan, who shrank his head.

"It's okay to be beaten up!" Li Shan yelled at the other side, and then said: "I knocked him out two rounds a few months ago, Brother Su, you don't need to be polite."

"If you have the ability to ride on a horse..."

"It's deep in the alley here, where are you going to ride a horse?"

Li Shan bickered a few words casually, watched as Mrs. Zhou brought a hot water basin, and then took the towel that Mrs. Zhou carried, and rubbed it vigorously after applying it on his face for a while.

It was still noisy over there, Li Shan sat down to eat by himself, only Ling Jing came in and sat opposite.

"A few prisoners were captured yesterday night for interrogation, but they were deserters." Ling Jing said softly, "Liu Heitai seems to be powerful, but he is actually in a dead end."

Li Shan is drinking soup with his head down. Zhou’s soup cakes are made with the mutton soup specially left over from last night. It seems that they have added some seasonings, and it feels a bit spicy... Oh, this era is not spicy yet, or there is no Li Shan. The kind of spicy that Shan knows.

"Indeed, although Liu Heizai is a dead snake, he may make a last-ditch effort. Qi Shanxing and Cheng Mingzhen haven't replied yet, and the outcome is yet to be known..."

Li Shan didn't seem to hear Ling Jing's words, he drank up the soup base with a bowl in his hand, thinking that he might not be able to taste spicy food again in this life, looking for a new continent... Europeans have a strong desire to become rich, while Chinese people are very It's hard to feel that way.

Ling Jing became a little impatient, "From your point of view, is it necessary to fight in this battle?"

"It doesn't matter." Li Shan shrugged and emphasized: "It really doesn't matter."

Ling Jing's face was a bit ugly, before he was just ignorant and knew the general idea, but now everything is clear.

The battle in Hebei has become the battleground for Li and Tang's struggle for the heir apparent. The East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion have exhausted all kinds of thoughts and methods for this land... Li Shan's respect for this old man is an example.

Ling Jing knew that he had guessed correctly, and Li Kai, Yuchi Baolin's respect for his words just now also proved this point, Qin Palace hopes to win the first battle.

Then, Ling Jing could easily guess that the East Palace was probably just like Li Shan had guessed before, the prince wanted to invite himself to conquer Hebei.

Get rid of Liu Heikai before the crown prince personally conquers... This will be a very important meeting ceremony.

But the problem is that once successful, the name Su Dingfang and even Ling Jing himself may become a hot topic.

Once successful, Donggong will be furious, but what reason do they have to trouble Tian Liuan, Qi Shanxing, and Cheng Mingzhen?

Not to mention that they were all from the Qin Palace or from the lineage of the King Qin, the excuse of doing their duty and guarding the soil is enough, but Su Dingfang can't.

Attacking the Liting camp at night, burning all the food and grass, rushing to break Wucheng, and going to Guantao City for two battles, almost every battle of the cavalry of the Tang Army was under the direct command of Su Dingfang... In just half a month, the name Su Dingfang has been passed down. All over Hebei and Shandong.

During yesterday's discussion, Tian Liu'an was noncommittal about sending troops, but first of all, he made sure of one thing, if he wanted to send troops, it must be cavalry, and the leader was Su Dingfang.

Li Tang had already basically ruled the world. In such a complicated and dangerous situation, just one collision was enough to destroy the bones of Su Dingfang, Ling Jing and others in such a complicated and dangerous situation.

Ling Jing's idea was very simple, if he sent troops, he would probably defeat Liu Heitai, and his achievements would be discussed after the war. Su Dingfang's name was too conspicuous, but he had no background, so he might become the target of the prince to vent his anger.

"You also said that I think too much...Uncle Ling thinks too much." Li Shan laughed and said, "If Brother Dingfang leads the army to fight and wins a big victory over the enemy, he can also ask the King of Qin to protect him."

Ling Jing sneered and said, "If the crown prince pursues it with all his strength, will King Qin protect him forever?"

"It's true, whether to keep sheltering or not is nothing more than weighing the pros and cons." Li Shan said lightly: "However, these are not important!"

There were hurried footsteps from outside, Xue Zhong strode over, looked around and said in a low voice: "Cheng Mingzhen, the general manager of Weizhou, replied, and the arrangements have been made."

Li Kai who followed into the room asked, "Where's Wang Junkuo?"

"Since the letter has been sent, he is ordered to lead the elite cavalry to go west, and the pawns to go north to help Guantao."

"In this way, a great war will begin!" Yuchi Baolin was gearing up, "It must be..."

"You are not allowed to go." Li Shan interrupted: "Director Tian leads the army himself?"

Xue Zhong nodded slightly, "Four hundred elite cavalry, seven hundred infantry, Chief Tian will personally lead the troops."

After all, Li Shan has been in the army for a few months, and he knows that leading the army in person is holistic, and the four hundred elite cavalry need another general to command directly. According to the command these days, Su Dingfang is the most suitable candidate .

Ignoring Ling Jing's eyes, Li Shan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Daoxuan who was outside the crowd, "Brother Daoxuan, you should celebrate your victory after the battle."

Li Daoxuan took the letter and found that the letter was not sealed. He tentatively opened it and looked at it for a few times. He couldn't help being startled, his face changed greatly, "What's the meaning of this?!"

"Ever since returning from the Turkic army, brother Daoxuan is no longer as sharp as before, he is depressed, very much like a living dead."

Ling Jing turned his head away speechlessly, no wonder it doesn't matter whether Su Dingfang will lead the cavalry to fight, this guy actually put his mind on Li Daoxuan... During these days, Xue Zhong and Liu Jun tried their best to fight to the death, but Li Daoxuan remained silent, He also deliberately avoided the opportunity to lead the army alone.

Li Shan's face was slightly cold, "Brother Daoxuan just stumbled, but he was so depressed, it's not as good as Ashina's desire."

"you……"

"Hebei and Shandong, since the last years of the former dynasty, wars have continued, bandits have sprung up, the fields are barren, and the people are in dire straits." Li Shan looked straight into Li Daoxuan's eyes, "The king of Lujiang County fled, and the king of Huaiyang was depressed. Who should appease Shandong?"

Li Daoxuan's body was trembling slightly. It has been half a month since he came back as a hostage exchange, but this 19-year-old youth has always been caught in the fog ahead.

It's not that he can't accept this battle, it's not that he is suddenly greedy for life and afraid of death, but that Li Daoxuan has lost confidence in his future and his abilities.

Now Li Shan told him that he must be a son of the clan to appease Shandong after the war... Lujiang County King Li Yuan has already fled, and although you Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan was captured alive, if you defeat Liu Heitai in this battle, what will happen after the war? , the sage has no reason to choose someone else!
Ling Jing raised his head boredly and looked at the somewhat gloomy sky. Indeed, Li Daoxuan came out, Su Dingfang and other small roles really didn't matter.

Looking at Li Daoxuan whose eyes gradually brightened, Li Shan heaved a sigh of relief, and shouted: "Bring a certain horse!"

Zhu Ba and Shitou appeared at the door carrying a long horse lance. Li Shan held the lance with both hands with great sincerity, "Brother Daoxuan, may it be as sharp as ever?!"
