Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 772 Ambush
Many people who are familiar with Li Shan feel that this young man has amazing intuition in some aspects, everything is still hidden in the fog, and Li Shan can make the most accurate judgment.

For example, before the big defeat in Xiabo, Li Shan urged Li Daoxuan to be cautious. After the war, Li Shimin once resumed the battle in Tiance Mansion, and praised Li Shan greatly. On the other hand, it was the reason for Li Shan's exhortation at that time, the so-called favorable time, place and people were not in hand.

Fang Xuanling also praised Li Shan at the time for being as meticulous as a hair, and knowing the work from the slightest.

The same situation occurred at the end of the sixth year of Wude, when Yuan Junzhang was blocked from recruiting, Li Shan boldly turned around and attacked at night on the return journey, beheading Yu and shooting his head to force Yuan Junzhang to surrender.

If an accurate analysis and judgment cannot be made on the internal situation of Turks, such a move is almost death.

It cannot be said that Li Shan has no ability, but this ability largely depends on his identity as a traverser, because he clearly knows that he must lose in the first battle of Xiabo. What about Hei Kai's military exploits?
Li Shan also clearly remembered how Tuli Khan sat back and watched before the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and he almost joined the Tang army.

But in mid-June of the eighth year of Wude, Li Shan made a bold prediction for the first time under the premise that the memory of his previous life could not be confirmed. , Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan, Li Shenfu and others made judgments based on their impressions.

It cannot be said that Li Shan's judgment was wrong, but the origin of everything was unexpected for Li Shan.

On June [-]th, Xiangyi King Li Shenfu angrily led [-] Tang troops to attack. His target was a small tribe that had been attached more than a month ago.

At the end of last year, the grassland was severely cold, and countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death. Except for those Ashina children in Wuyuan County, these livestock are the roots of the grassland tribes. to weather the storm.

Unlike his elder brother Li Shentong, King of Huai'an on Longyou Road, Li Shenfu ordered the destruction of several tribes one after another, why not send the military exploits to his door?
At that time, Li Shenfu was about to snatch the position of Lingzhou Road Marching Chief, and it was a joy from heaven.

As soon as the news spread, even the tribes who were sincerely attached to them did not dare to come, and it lasted until March, because Li Shenfu and Duan Decao were incompatible, Pei Longqian and Xi Nidi proposed the idea of ​​attracting the tribe's inner attachments.

This time, Li Shenfu did not slash and kill again, but sent an envoy to lead the tribe to join him, but he put forward a condition...donate sheep and horses.

The Lingzhou Army has extraordinary combat power, and was successively guarded by Yang Shidao and Li Daozong. However, as these two famous generals were transferred successively, there was a very serious defect in the army, that is, the lack of horses.

In the past few years, the Turks in Hedong have repeatedly defeated the Turks, largely relying on the large number of war horses obtained by Li Shan's business development. Most of them are in the Bingzhou Army and Daizhou Army. If there are any leftovers, they will be sent to Jingzhao first, and will not be provided to Lingzhou.

Why did Li Shan defeat the Turks three times? Excellent war horses under his command are the most important link, and Li Shenfu is not stupid. If he wants to make great achievements, a large number of war horses are indispensable.

That's why Li Shenfu took advantage of the fire to rob, and put forward the condition of donating sheep and horses... But if it is included, every three people get a sheep, and every ten people get a horse.

However, the attached tribes originally went south because a large number of livestock were frozen to death. The small tribes can say that they can gather together, but the slightly larger tribes are really unwilling to give away all their family assets. Small scale rebellion.

However, Li Shenfu didn't take it seriously. Now Lingzhou Dao Tang army has more than [-] troops. If the troops are insufficient, he can summon more than [-] soldiers from the four prefectures. He personally leads the troops to wipe them out one by one calmly.

In June, [-] Jihu people went south to the northeast of Lingzhou and sent envoys to try to enclose them. When they heard that the Tang Dynasty wanted to collect donations of sheep and horses, they immediately rioted and looted several surrounding villages.

Li Shenfu led [-] Tang troops to attack. It cannot be said that he was careless. The opponent was only [-] Jihu, [-] Tang cavalry, and [-] infantry, which was enough to win.

But the accident happened on the evening of June [-]th. Perhaps it was not an accident, but a long-planned surprise attack.

Three thousand Tang cavalry broke through Jihu's front line with ease, and the latter fled eastward. Li Shenfu personally led the army to chase for forty miles, but got into the opponent's prepared pocket.

The bloody sunset was gradually covered by the mountains, and night had already fallen. Li Shenfu, who was panting heavily, heard the deafening shouts of killing around him, his eyes were full of panic, how could this happen?
How could this be? !

More than an hour ago, Li Shenfu led the cavalry to chase this place, ambushes everywhere, two cavalry as many as [-] flanked left and right, and the Jihu people who were fleeing turned back and fought back.

Although Tang Qi was sharp and well-equipped, there was nothing he could do in this situation. The most important thing was that Li Shenfu's command was hesitant. When the army was disrupted, Li Shenfu did not lead the army They fought back to gather troops, but continued to go eastward very "smartly", made a circle and escaped from the pocket formation.

The fate of the thousands of cavalry left behind by the Li talisman was already doomed, and the escaped thousand cavalry fled back desperately, throwing away their helmets and armor along the way, in a state of embarrassment.

But what Li Shenfu didn't expect was that the opponent's force was so strong. He had already cut off his tail to survive, but there were still five or six thousand enemy cavalry in pursuit, and the remnant army was quickly besieged here.

"No, it can't be Turkic." Li Shenfu managed to remain calm. He is not stupid. He already knew that the Turkic side was in civil strife. Lurking in a place less than a hundred miles away from Lingzhou.

"What is that?" Li Shenfu's pupils shrank suddenly, and in the enemy formation not far away, under the reflection of each torch, a large banner was raised high.

The guard beside him squinted his eyes for a moment, his face was extremely ugly, "Your Highness, it's Liang Shidu, it's Liang Shidu!"

Li Shenfu's face was blue and white, and suddenly he cursed: "It's all caused by the children of the Duan family!"

The guards on the side were silent. It is true that Liang Shidu was beaten quite badly by Duan De, who was then the general manager of Yanzhou a few years ago, but this doesn't seem to be the reason, right?

Unlike Jieli Khan, Liang Shidu's only son died at the hands of the King of Handan. How could he abandon Yanzhou and attack Lingzhou because Duan Decao was transferred to be the deputy commander of the Lingzhou Road Marching?

You know, in the first year of Wude, Liang Shidu frequently attacked Lingzhou, but it was only because Shi Yang Ze, the governor of Lingzhou at that time, and the two successive managers Yang Shidao and Li Daozong were good enough... The divine talisman presided over it, so Master Liang had to come and squeeze the persimmons.

How to do?
How to do?
Li Shenfu was sweating profusely, thinking in his heart, if the other party surrendered, should he refuse more times?
