Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 378
Five or six miles away from the county seat of Daixian County, in a small village, there are seven or eight houses made of red bricks dotted in it, which is quite eye-catching from a distance.

A group of people rushed into the village and got off their horses in front of a house. Li Shan asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Although he had seen the trading market called Beishi in Dai County, Yuan Xiaozheng was still very surprised because he had been here three days ago... In other words, seven or eight new houses were completed in just three days, although considering No foundation needed, but the speed is horrific.

The elders of the village and two or three young people came forward to greet them. After a few words of greeting, Li Shan asked, "Measure the field, how much is left?"

A young man stepped forward to salute, and replied, "About four hundred acres."

Four hundred acres are the abandoned fields around this village.

Li Shan recognized this person and followed him to learn arithmetic. Later, he was arranged to measure the fields of the whole county. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You won't have to start plowing again, will you?"

"About two to five years." The young man shook his head and said, "Originally, they were all top-grade fields, just take good care of them."

Li Shan laughed, turned around and said, "How does Xiao Zheng feel?"

"Ding gave [-] acres of land, and tax exemption for three years." Yuan Xiaozheng looked at the few attendants who followed him, and two of them were quite interested.

Li Shan nodded to those two people, "It's just you two, although you are going back to Yunzhou with Xiaozheng, but a certain made an exception and asked you to register in advance."

"Thank you..." The two hesitated for a while, then changed their words: "Thank you Mingfu."

If you say Mingfu, that's the answer.

A group of people entered the house, some inspected the house, some went to see the fields outside the village, Li Shan and Yuan Xiaozheng found a place to sit down.

"We're leaving tomorrow. There are some things... I want to ask you as a teacher." Li Shan said in a low voice, "If it's inconvenient for Xiaozheng, don't force it."

"Excuse me, Master Li." Yuan Xiaozheng drummed in his heart. Could it be about Gao Manzheng?
Attacking Shuozhou and recapturing Mayi was the bottom line set by my father, and the elder brother was beheaded by Gao Manzheng, this revenge must be avenged.

Uh, Li Shancai is too lazy to take care of Gao Manzheng, that guy is no different from Yuan Junzhang in essence.

Li Shan paused, then said slowly: "In the battle of Mayi, Duke Yuan was defeated. I heard that there were only two thousand Turks to help?"

"Yes, only two thousand Qingqi."

"Although I went to Daizhou for the first time as a teacher, I also know the importance of Mayi." Li Shan frowned and said, "Duke Yuan was defeated in mid-August, and he didn't intend to raise troops to go south again until recently. It's been more than a month..."

"And in August and September of previous years, it was the time when the Turkic South committed crimes, why..."

This is a big doubt lingering on Li Shan. As a time traveler, he had some guesses. When the caravan went out, he asked Fan Shiyi to inquire about it, but there was nothing...Why did Turk stop?
Yuan Xiaozheng breathed a sigh of relief, and explained in a low voice: "In early August, Tuli Khan arrived in Wuyuan County."

Li Shan's eyes flashed brightly. Before that, he was thinking that it was either Xue Yantuo or Tuli Khan, and it was so.

"Three generations of Turkic brothers passed on from brother to brother. Shibi Khan passed away in the second year of Wude. His son Shibobi was 16 years old at the time, and finally took the position of Luo Khan." Yuan Xiaozheng is familiar with these. Impossible not to care about it, like several Jiazhen said: "At first, it was considered harmonious, but Chuluo Khan died suddenly after more than a year. Shi Bobi intends to inherit the position of Khan, but..."

"The throne was taken away by Jieli Khan." Li Shan said, "But this Shibobi also appointed Tuli Khan?"

"Yes, Khan Shibi reigned for ten years, and Khan Chuluo was very close to Khan Shibi, but Khan Jieli forcibly seized the throne. Many tribes were upset and had no choice but to make Shibobi the Khan of Tuli." Yuan Xiaozheng shook his head and said: "Since then, Turkic disputes have continued, and there is a faint image of division."

Li Shan pondered for a moment, compared with the past life memory in his mind, and suddenly asked: "Before you mentioned that Tuli Khan returned to Wuyuan County, where did you go before?"

"Tuli Khan is a small khan, in charge of Khitan, Mohe and other ministries, and his Yating is connected to Youzhou in the south." Yuan Xiaozheng explained: "Last year Liu Heita resurged, and Jieli Khan ordered Tuli Khan to send troops. Go south to help, but the latter flatly refuses."

Li Shan thought about it in his heart, and solved Youzhou in the south, which means that Tuli Khan's territory is in the northern part of Hebei Road. This man refused to go south last year, so Jieli Khan sent Ashinasheer and Yugu is located in Shandong.

Yuan Xiaozheng thought for a while and continued: "Two months ago, when Tuli Khan returned to Wuyuan County, it was said... It was said that he was trying to win over the tribe, and Jieli Khan was furious about it, almost..."

"Win the tribe..." Li Shan muttered a few words, which didn't match the image of Tuli Khan in his impression.

It is mentioned in the history books that although Tuli Khan followed Jieli Khan to invade the south several times, in general, he was close to the Tang Dynasty... Now it seems that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After thinking for a while, Li Shan asked, "How will the heirs of Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan choose?"

"Each has a choice." Yuan Xiaozheng coughed twice, "For example, Chuluo Khan's second son Ashinasheer is attached to Jieli Khan, and the third son Yu Sheshe is close to Tuli Khan."

Falling into long thoughts again, after a long time, Li Shancai asked in a low voice: "Do you know that Tuli Khan and the King of Qin are old friends, and they are called brothers."

"What?" Yuan Xiaozheng's eyes widened.

"You don't know?" Li Shan smiled nonchalantly, "Go back and ask your father, Duke Yuan may know."

Yuan Xiaozheng was obedient, speechless for a while.

At this time, there was a sudden noise from outside, Zhao Daji stepped inside and reported in a low voice, "Mr. Lang, someone from Yunzhou."

Li Shanyue guessed something, just nodded, Yuan Xiaozheng hurriedly got up and went out.

After a while, Yuan Xiaozheng came back with an ugly expression on his face, "Master Li, my father called me back."

Needless to say, it must be that Yuan Junzhang is preparing to send troops. At this time, the troops may have already been sent.

"En." Li Shan got up and held Yuan Xiaozheng's hand, "The few poetry collections I handed over to you need to be pondered more. If there are broken sentences, I can ask someone to bring them."

Yuan Xiaozheng was a little excited, "Master Li, don't worry, my father told me that there will be no trouble for the caravan to leave the fortress... Ashinasheer told me before that even the Turkic people will not make things difficult."

In fact, Li Shan, who is still a few years younger, put on a gesture of confidence, "With you, I can rest assured as a teacher."

Yuan Xiaozheng's lips moved, hesitated for a while before saying in a low voice: "Master Li..."

"Don't worry, the house will be reserved for you, and the land will be tax-free. You will not break your promise." Li Shan said with a smile: "You have also seen that Dai County is now in need of a lot of waste, and the most lack of people."

Yuan Xiaozheng gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and whispered in Li Shan's ear, "Yugushe, the son of Khan Jieli, and Yusheshe, the third son of Khan Chuluo, led tens of thousands of troops to assist Shuozhou."

Li Shan's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "One is the son of Jieli Khan, and the other is Yu Sheshe who is close to Tuli Khan... It seems that Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan have made peace."

It is impossible to make peace, and it is impossible to make peace in this life, but it is very likely that it is the common cognition of both parties, or Jieli Khan can't tolerate the Tang army gaining a firm foothold in Mayi and chose to back down. The situation of leading troops to attack Mayi.

Li Shan didn't seem to care, he just sent Yuan Xiaozheng away with a smile. The caravan had already set off the day before yesterday. I left Yanmen a few days ago.

Li Shan was not too worried about this, as long as the Turkic leaders were not out of their minds, they would not do such a thing as looting the caravan, and Yuan Junzhang was even more afraid.

But with tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers helping out, can Gao Manzheng be able to defend Mayi?

If it cannot be guarded, can Yanmen be safe?
Everything Li Shan did was based on the fact that the Turks did not break through Yanmen.

It is not suitable for Mayi and Yanmen, but without Mayi, the Turks will be able to calmly attack Yanmen next year.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Li Shan frowned. First, someone delivered a message to Li Gaoqian, then discussed with Ma Zhou for a while, and made up his mind to go to Nao County immediately.

Liu Shirang, Hou Liu Shirang of Yiyang County, is now leading troops to garrison Nao County. He is the direct person in charge who was ordered by the sage Li Yuan to manage Mayi.

Li Shan's riding skills are not very good now, but they are barely passable. However, he galloped from Dai County, changing horses without changing people, and when he arrived at Nao County, it was almost dusk.

After entering the city gate, Li Shan went straight into the county government office.

"Guantao county magistrate?"

The gatekeeper is Liu Shirang's personal guard. He was diagnosed and treated by Li Shan in Mayi more than a month ago, and he stopped in front of him with an ugly face, "Li Langjun..."

Li Shan was too lazy to talk, and was about to let the accompanying Wang Junhao push him away, when a loud shout sounded in the hall not far away.

"Old man, how dare you do that!"

Li Shan's face changed, and he grabbed the guard's collar, "Who is inside?"

The guard's face turned pale, and he turned his head to look in, "It's the governor of Bingzhou..."

It turned out to be Li Shenfu, the general manager of King Bingzhou of Xiangyi. Li Shan is really big-headed now. This person and Liu Shirang are mortal enemies. How could there be trouble here at such a critical time? !

After waiting for a while, there was still a lot of shouting and cursing inside, and the sound of tables and bowls falling to the ground, Li Shan finally couldn't help it, and signaled others to stay behind, and walked in by himself.

Standing at the door, by the dim candlelight, Li Shan saw clearly what was going on inside... He was dumbfounded, Liu Shirang's bun was messed up, and he was wrestling with a middle-aged man, both blushing and thick necked.

Uh, they are all pinching each other's neck with both hands, can you not blush and have a thick neck?

Although Liu Shirang was a bit old, he still had the upper hand and forced the Li talisman down. Unfortunately, he was too old and immobile. After the Li talisman fell to the ground, he kicked Liu Shirang away with a rabbit kick.

Hey, Li Shan has never seen this kind of fight in this era... It looks familiar, even a little eager to try, recalling the past years and years... When I was in high school, I also fought this kind of bad fight every day. .

The two people inside were still tearing apart, but Li Shan stood there in a daze for a while before realizing it, coughing hard twice.

"Get out!" Li Shenfu shouted angrily.

Coincidentally, Liu Shirang also shouted angrily, "Get lost!"

"Get lost?" Li Shan paced in and said with a sneer, "Are you two talking about yourself?"

Li Shan was standing there, while Liu Shirang and Li Shenfu were rolling around on the ground...

Liu Shirang turned his head to look, "Li Shan!"

Li Shenfu couldn't help but tilt his head. The setting sun shone the last ray of light on the open space in front of the house. A tall young man with his hands behind his back couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but there was something in his black and translucent eyes. What's more is the expression of no emotion.

"Before going to Dai County, he was commanded by others. Mr. Liu is arrogant, and he has a lot of grievances with King Xiangyi." Li Shan watched the two get up expressionlessly, "But now that the war is about to start, Yuan Junzhang will attack again. In Shuozhou, a sage entrusted him to manage Mayi, and the other was the governor of Bingzhou, who was responsible for a heavy responsibility, and they actually fought in private, which is really eye-opening and amazing!"

Li Shenfu even fought against Liu Shirang. Although he knew that the person in front of him was Li Huairen, who had become famous in recent years, he didn't pay attention to it.

Li Shan used a clever trick to get away before, and Liu Shirang was already dissatisfied with him, and scolded: "Young man with a yellow mouth, how dare you talk about state affairs!"

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, the old man and Li Shenfu fought to death, can you control Li Huairen? !

Do you think you are qualified to manage?

Now that's all right, Li Shenfu said, "This is Li Huairen who planned to establish Shandong and become famous in Chang'an, right?"

"This king has heard about it for a long time. If it weren't for your step, brother Huaiyang...he is the best friend with this king."

"By the way, since Chang'an, have you ever met my elder brother?"

"Brother praised Huairen greatly in the letter, and avenged his hatred."

Li Shenfu's elder brother is Li Shentong of Huai'an Net. He suffered a lot in Shandong, first he was captured by Dou Jiande, and later he was defeated by Liu Heita.

Every time Li Shenfu said a word, Liu Shirang's face on the opposite side turned ugly... Well, Li Shenfu wanted to talk too much, and even Li Shan couldn't get in his mouth.

When is this, who has the patience to listen to your flattery!

Li Shan was about to interrupt, but Li Shenfu suddenly said: "By the way, Huairen hasn't married yet, right?"

Li Shan froze for a moment, then nodded, completely unresponsive.

Li Shenfu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Marrying a wife and starting a family is a major event, but you can take a beautiful concubine first. This king has a concubine..."

"Li talisman!"

With a loud shout, Liu Shi let his eyes crack open, his face turned blue, his hands were fisted, and he rushed forward.

Hey, Li Shenfu was not afraid at all, and they all pulled away... But Li Shan really didn't want to see the second round, so he hugged Liu Shirang abruptly.

Then there was a two-quarter-hour scolding, and Li Shan finally figured out why the two fought each other regardless of dignity.

Two years ago, Liu Shirang was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou. He was arrogant and lustful... He snatched a beautiful woman whom Li Shenfu had his eyes on, and she was also quite lustful.

It was just a trivial matter, but Liu Shirang was too arrogant, and Li Shenfu refused to back down as a clan, the two finally broke their faces and fought... Today is not the first time the two have fought each other.

In the end, Li Shenfu filed a lawsuit against Liu Shirang, who suffered a loss and was helpless in the court.

Liu Shirang had just recovered, and before he arrived in Daizhou, Gao Manzheng raised Shuozhou to vote for the Tang Dynasty, and then there was a battle in Mayi, and he had no time to clone himself. I didn't know until recently... After I was dismissed from office, all the concubines around me were taken away by Li Shen All the symbols were caught.

Liu Shirang's temperament...he will not die when he reaches the Yellow River, how can he bear this tone, especially this time, Li Shenfu came to Nao County, and brought the concubine who was snatched by Liu Shirang back then, Li Shenfu worked hard ...is pregnant.

Then, the sarcasm in Li Shenfu's words, Liu Shirang raised his fist...

Li Shan let out a long sigh, what kind of bullshit is this!

Did Li Yuan let the two prime ministers talk about things in Hedong, did he feel that Hedong was too stable? !
