Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 784 It's really not my fault this time

In the eighth year of Wude, on June [-]th, on the day when Li Yuan and Li Shimin were looking forward to the reinforcements, Li Shan led [-] personal guards to rush northward, heading towards Huating.

In fact, Li Yuan still puts his hope in Jingzhao. He started the Tang Dynasty and appointed his eldest son as the prince. He has taken care of him in every possible way these years. If he hadn't supported him, he would have been replaced by his second son. Wouldn't he send troops to help at this time?
But Li Shimin put his hope on Li Shan from Longzhou. On the one hand, he couldn't trust Li Jiancheng. Jingzhao's rescue means that he owes the other party a big favor. To put it harshly, it is considered a life-saving favor.

Fortunately, his father brought Pei Shiju to Renshou Palace for the summer vacation. Although the edict ordering Li Shan to restrain the army was not sent out immediately, if Pei Shiju was still in Beijing, the East Palace might not even send troops to help. It will make things worse... Li Shan couldn't control the army even if he wanted to.

While commanding the soldiers to guard the Renshou Palace, Li Shimin vowed in his heart that if Li Shan could arrive in time to rescue the siege, he would be worthy in this life!
After all, after so many battles in these years, Li Shan's riding skills are not as bad as they were when he just crossed over, and he is not very strong, but he gallops so easily.

Longzhou is not too big, Liyuan County is located in the center, and Huating County is the north gate, so the distance is not too far away. We set off before dusk yesterday, rested overnight in a small town, and entered Huating County before noon the next day. up.

Over the years, Li Shan has been led by famous generals such as Su Dingfang, Li Daoxuan, Zhang Shigui, Xue Wanche, etc., and he has learned something more or less. After observing it carefully on the way, he has to admit that at least in the command of a small force, Zhang Zhongjian is no better than Zhang Zhongjian. Su Dingfang is weak, and the courage of the two is about the same. The reason why he has been unable to climb up is mainly because of that face.

But this... Li Shan has nothing to do with it. Although I am a doctor, I am not a plastic surgeon.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Although Hou Chen was over fifty, he also put on armor and went into battle. Seeing Li Shan's worried expression, he persuaded him: "Longzhou is no different from Lingzhou, Huizhou, or Yuanzhou. It is already the hinterland of Guanzhong. Liang Jun dare not go south by detour."

Hou Chen's meaning is very simple. Now that they have entered the territory of Huating County, there is no sign of enemy invasion, which means that Huating County has not been breached yet.

Li Shan didn't say a word, he just gestured to Wang Junhao who was next to him with his eyes... Did you hear that?
I didn't say it this time. If something happened later, I won't take the blame for it.

The corners of Wang Junhao's mouth twitched, but he was still worried... Last year, he heard Ma Zhou's naughty person say that Li Huairen might be a disaster star, and accidents happen wherever he goes!
After that, Ma Zhou returned to Beijing suddenly, and then he was trapped in Guji Town. After returning to Beijing last year, Wang Junhao asked Ling Jing in private, and the answer he got was... the disaster star descended to the earth, or it was illusory, or it was possible.

Regarding this aspect, Li Shan once thought about it himself, if the protagonist of a book is just plain and calm, whoever will read this book? !

But it can't be so unlucky every time, I'm almost the Chinese version of the ancient version of Conan!
Two or three riders came galloping ahead, Zhang Zhongjian ordered to slow down the horses, Li Shan squinted his eyes and looked carefully, the scout leader Fan Shiyi had a strange expression on his face, he couldn't help mentioning it, and roared, "Skin monkey?"

Fan Shiyi came with a strange expression on his horse, and said with a smile, "It's strange, Huating is fine."

all right?

strange?
Li Shanzhen was so annoyed by these words that he whipped him casually, and Fan Shiyi got on his mount and hid on a very difficult iron bridge.

"Are you still expecting something to happen?!" Li Shan scolded a few words with a smile, thinking that Liang Jun was indeed a tentative attack. Although he defeated Tang Jun, he couldn't win Huating County, so he returned to Yuanzhou.

Seven hundred riders walked slowly all the way, outside the south gate of Huating County, Li Shan's expression was not very good, he turned his head to look at Hou Chen, "Chang Da is very narrow-minded."

Hou Chen also couldn't help nodding his head in agreement. Chang Da led his army northward, but the army was defeated and retreated. Chang Shi Yang refused to go north to help.

Wang Junhao snorted coldly, "Don't drive Zhang Shilong to die in battle, Chang Shi and Sima are still in Qianyuan, and Chang Da refuses to go out to meet him, isn't he even willing to send his subordinates out to meet them?"

Li Shan also felt a little strange, although he had a disagreement with Chang Da, but now he leads troops to help... Could it be that Chang Da doesn't care because the Liang army has withdrawn?

Although Zhang Shilong died in battle, but Pei Xuanji, who was a military officer and participated in the military, went north with Chang Da that day, so he must have died in battle too, right?

Even if Pei Xuanji was killed in battle, Chang Da could still get Huating to order Zhang Wenxi to come forward, which could just ease the conflict, and find a way to go down, Chang Da wouldn't be so unreasonable, right?

Impossible, this kind of bureaucracy cannot understand.

Just as he was wondering, Zhang Wenguan couldn't help but whispered, "Brother Huai, I'll go and ask first."

Li Shan didn't care much about the ostentation, but since he came with his personal guards, just in case, he had to hold the military power in his hands. After thinking about it, he nodded and asked Zhang Wenguan to go and see the situation first.

"Wang Junhao and Hou Hongbin led two hundred horsemen to enter the city alone." Li Shan ordered: "Zhang Zhongjian led the rest of the guards to station outside the city."

Among the personal guards, Wang Junhao and Zhang Zhongjian are in charge, and the other small leaders are Qu Silang, Qi Laosan, He Fang, and Hou Hongbin, each leading a team.

Hou Chen glanced at Li Shan, thinking that although the county king is young and benevolent enough, he has deep thoughts. Generally speaking, the personal guards who are close to him are always members of the Zhu clan, but they deliberately bring Hou Hongbin by his side .

At this moment, Yiqi came galloping from the east, a scout under Fan Shiyi's command, and said with displeasure on his face: "Mr. Lang, there are nearly a thousand soldiers entering the city from the north gate, and the leader is the general who is the leader of the left army." Pei Longqian."

Li Shan cursed a few words in a low voice, so that's it!

That day when I changed from Tongzhou to Longzhou, that guy Pei Shiju treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, stuffed his nephew Pei Longqian over, and placed him on the south side of Yuanzhou, near Pingliang County of Longzhou. withdraw.

It's not that Chang Da didn't go out of the city to greet him, but he didn't come to greet him!
That's right, even though he was the king of the county, he served as Secretary of Agriculture and did not bring any large army to help him. He was accompanied by only a few hundred personal guards, while Pei Longqian was a serious left-leading general.

Li Shan always thinks too much when encountering things. Chang Da is defeated, don't die in battle. At this time, if he joins forces with Pei Longqian, if he can stick to Huating and resist the Liang army's southward invasion, he may be able to use Pei Shiju and Pei Ji to be exonerated. Greet yourself, that's hard to say!
Li Shan smiled wryly in his heart. He felt that Chang Da was narrow-minded, maybe Chang Da felt that he was narrow-minded... Otherwise, why did he want to pick Wenxi Pei's thigh at this time?

Thinking of this, Li Shan smiled meaninglessly, and without getting off his horse, he rode through the city gate with two hundred.
