Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 801 After the War

The so-called merit is nothing more than rescuing him, the greatest merit has already been obtained, there is really no need to show merit in front of Li Yuan.

What's more, self-proclaimed, if it was the previous life, Li Shan would have had the cheek to be a queen mother-in-law once, but in this life, it is not that Li Shan's skin has become thinner, but the difference caused by the different times... You have to let other people show their merits.

Moreover, if you want to tell the story from the beginning to the end, you will inevitably have to talk about the sad brothers Pei Longqian and Pei Xuanji. Li Shanzhen is afraid that Pei Shiju will go crazy on the spot!
Li Shan went straight down the mountain, and immediately saw Chai Shao rushing towards him, "Brother-in-law is finally here."

"It's late." Chai Shao's face was gloomy. After arriving at Renshou Palace, he questioned the defenders carefully, and knew that he was cheated by Li Jiancheng.

"Fortunately, Huairen came to help in time." Chai Shao forced a smile, "How about the casualties?"

Li Shan touched his nose, moved his cheeks, but did not speak. Chai Shao sighed. After he arrived at Renshou Palace, the first thing he did was to confirm that Li Yuan and Li Shimin were safe, but there was no need to ask. Just look at the battlefield to know how tragic the battle was. .

Although Chai Shao maintains a neutral political stance, he has been under Li Shimin's command for a long time, and he is an old friend with all the generals of Tiance Mansion, so how can he not feel sad.

Before climbing to the top of Tiantai Mountain, Li Shan did not expect that there would be so many casualties. The leading generals, clan children, and courtiers all died.

Li Shan still remembers the names of those famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty quite clearly, and in this life, through Li Kai and Ling Jing, he knows very well that the interior of Tiance Mansion is only a name left in the history, and future generations have the impression that many of them, even Even Hou Junji, the famous general who swept up the Western Regions during the Zhenguan period and finally followed Li Chengqian in the rebellion, is missing, dead or alive.

This time, Li Yuan was humiliated... A concubine disappeared and disappeared. She might have escaped, or she might have been captured by Liang Jun.

However, Li Shan looked sad, but in fact he didn't have much grief in his heart. The reason was very simple. The people he cared about and those who had a good relationship with him all at least saved their lives.

What Li Shan cares most about is not Li Yuan and Li Shimin, but Ling Jing, Su Dingfang and Cui Xin.

Although Su Dingfang's injury was a bit serious, several of the guards around him had studied medical skills in the Imperial Medical Office, and they handled it properly. They will definitely recover after a while. There has never been a fight.

Cui Xin was a bit unlucky. As a member of Zhongshushe, he accompanied Li Yuan, but the team turned around and returned to Renshou Palace. Cui Xin accidentally fell off the horse and was dragged down. Fortunately, Ling Jing asked Zhou Zhoulang to go back to rob people, and Li Daoxuan happened to meet him again. Cui Xin was slightly bruised.

In addition, among those who have a good relationship with Li Shan, Zhongshuling Yang Gongren, Zhongshu's servant Yu Wenshi and even though they were injured, they were all fine, and Wen Yanbo was unscathed, but Yang Gongren's son Yang Siyi was unfortunately broken. lost his arm, but survived anyway.

Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, rescued Li Yuan from the rebellious army, but was wounded in the battle afterwards, but the injury was not serious.

What surprised Li Shan the most was that Yuwen Shiji's younger sister, Yuwen Zhaoyi, snatched a horse from the rebellious army, carried her son and galloped all the way, and even killed two Liang soldiers... more than Yuwen Shiji and this fellow Cattle.

Anyway, those who had some friendship with Li Shan basically survived... Although most of them were injured, after experiencing the scene in Guji Town last year, Li Shan naturally couldn't feel much grief.

There must be a comparison in everything.

But Li Shan is also very sorry, Pei Shiju is such a thief, he didn't follow Li Yuan down the mountain, but hid on Tiantai Mountain on the grounds that he was too old to ride, otherwise so many people would have died, this old man who is almost 80 years old did not Reason can escape this.

What a pity, what a pity!
"Uh, Zhang Sanlang has already led his troops to the north to follow Liang Jun." Li Shanqian laughed a few times, "Your Majesty ordered my younger brother to restrain the army. Now Longzhou Sima Lin Xingcan has led his troops to arrive. How about brother-in-law..."

Chai Shao sighed, thought for a while before saying: "First pay your respects to His Majesty, and then go north immediately."

Li Shan was a little surprised, he said that His Majesty ordered him to control the army, but Chai Shao insisted on going up the mountain to see him.

The two went up the mountain together. At this moment, on the top of Tiantai Mountain, Hou Chen, who was specially left by Li Shan, and Longzhou Sima Lin Xingcan, who had an audience with him, were bragging about their achievements for Li Shan.

Hou Chen and Lin Xingcan sang and sang together, from the defeat of Huating, to Li Shan leading his guards to go north, and then to the collapse of Huating City, Li Shan tried his best to turn the tide....

Yu Wenshi and his tongue were amazed, "Huating city was broken at noon, Huairen was still in the city, at dusk, the Liang army was defeated, and Huating has been recovered. Such battles can be passed on to future generations."

Wen Yanbo on the side thought in his heart, it seems that every battle that the young county king has experienced from the beginning of his career to today is quite legendary and can be passed down from generation to generation.

He first attacked the enemy's camp at night in a desperate situation, and broke through Wucheng overnight. After two victories in Wei County and Yongji, he went to Daizhou to stir up wind and rain, forcing Yuan Junzhang to surrender, capturing Yugushe alive, and defeating Jieli three times. Khan...

"Leading the army into the city in person is considered courageous." Xiao Yu praised: "Break out from the north gate, this is knowledge."

"Courage and insight!" Yang Gongren laughed and said, "Unexpectedly, Shiwen also praised this."

Shiwen is written by Xiao Yu, who was the seventh son of Emperor Ming of Liang and the same mother and brother of Empress Xiao, wife of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. Because Li Shan used Empress Xiao as a condition for exchange of desires at the beginning of last year, he didn't like Li Shan very much. .

But Yang Gongren said that he didn't expect Xiao Yu to have such praise, not referring to this aspect, but Xiao Yu was rigid, upright, strict with his subordinates, and disobedient to his superiors, basically he never praised anyone.

After resting for a while, Li Shimin recalled the Huating battle in his mind, nodded and said: "Huiren is not like Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and other brave generals in the battle, but he chooses the opportunity accurately, advances and retreats with a degree, and moves after planning..."

"Like Marquis Wu?" Li Yuan smiled and said, "It is indeed capable."

In history, it is not uncommon for famous generals to serve as commanders in the image of literati, but they were mainly in the Song and Ming dynasties. After all, the status of literati was much higher than that of generals at that time, but before the Tang Dynasty, the most famous literati and famous general was Zhuge Liang.

At the last moment, seeing the arrival of the reinforcements, they were attacked by the Liang army and survived in a near collapse. This made it difficult for everyone to calm down. It seemed that they even forgot the pain and exhaustion on their bodies.

"Chen Chai Shao pays homage to His Majesty."

Li Yuan squinted his eyes at this son-in-law, and said with a half-smile, "Sichang is finally here."

Everyone was silent, and everyone knew that if Li Shan hadn't taken the risk of sneaking into the palace with his personal guards, Liang Jun would probably attack Tiantai Mountain before Chai Shao arrived, and everything would be over by then.

Chai Shaolang said: "This morning, I was entrusted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and led two thousand cavalry to rush to help, and the Crown Prince personally led the army to the rear."

Arriving at Renshou Palace in one day, Chai Shao was explaining that he was a bit late in coming to help, and I will not take the blame for it.

Li Yuan's expression relaxed a little, and Dalang personally led the troops, and sent Chai Shao to lead the cavalry to help... Although it was a bit late, it seemed to make sense, after all, the situation was chaotic at that time, and he did not send his cronies and guards to Chang'an for help. , maybe it was a little late to receive the news?
Li Shimin, who was leaning on the stone, stopped the eldest grandson Wuji with his eyes, and at the same time thought in his heart, after all, the prince came, although it was a bit late, but he finally came, and Tiantai Mountain was finally defended...

Li Shan watched Li Yuan's expression slow down, and secretly cursed that this guy is really an expert in brain supplementation, and that he would find excuses for Li Jiancheng too much.
