Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 835 Secret Discussion

"Someone was watching."

"Let another carriage go out and try." Li Shan was still a little worried, thinking that it was good for him to be careful, otherwise maybe that old fox Pei Shiju would really catch him.

Seeing Fan Shiyi go out, Cui Xin's eyes flickered. He knew Fan Shiyi, a scout in the personal guard.

Li Shan said with a smile: "It seems that I'm going to stay here today..."

Cui Xin's face is a bit dark, and he hasn't married yet, and his future son-in-law will live in the house early... It's easy to laugh at such things.

Li Shan also acted helplessly. The battle report came this afternoon, and the Liangyi Hall was still discussing matters. Cui Xin came to report, and Li Shan left the imperial city immediately.

Cui Xin didn't want his future son-in-law, who was going to marry his precious daughter next year, to go out again. He was relieved to see Li Shan leave, but when he returned home, he found him sitting in his study.

"Who is staring at you?" Cui Xin put those emotions behind him and asked in a low voice, "Pei Hongda?"

"Who else but him?" Li Shan sneered and said, "I made people stare at the outside of the mansion, and I found out that there was a secret whistle."

Cui Xin's lips moved, and he wanted to ask something, but he hesitated and did not speak... He is not stupid. At this critical moment, why did Pei Shiju send someone to follow him?
Thinking of Li Shan leaving the imperial city suddenly today, and not returning to Zhuangzi, but coming to his home quietly... Cui Xin felt that the answer was ready.

Li Shan is also right, he doesn't care about Pei Shiju's recommendation, but he needs to have a tacit understanding with Li Shimin to be the marching chief. Abandoned... Originally, Li Shimin had been pushed to a corner, and he was counting on the defeat of the Li talisman to turn around, but now Li Shimin has no plans to mutiny in a short time, and he is not at a disadvantage in the situation of seizing the heir.

Pei Shiju must have no good intentions in recommending himself. How to deal with it needs to be communicated with Li Shimin.

Originally, Li Shan hid in Princess Pingyang's mansion, and was going to wait until nightfall, go out of the city and go home before the city gate was closed, and have a good discussion with Ling Jing at night.

But unexpectedly Li Shimin decided to meet tonight.

Li Shimin doesn't live in Chengqian Hall in the Imperial City every day, and often lives in Tiance Mansion in Jinchengfang, but Princess Pingyang's Mansion is located in Guangdefang, two or three streets away, and once night falls, there is a curfew in Chang'an , all workshops must be closed.

Therefore, Li Shancai had no choice but to come to Cui's Mansion, which is also located in Jinchengfang.

Also aware that Cui Xin might have guessed something, Li Shan did not explain, seeing Fan Shiyi nodding outside to indicate that the secret whistle had been cleaned up, he chuckled lightly and said, "Regardless of whether we will play this time or not, we will welcome the relatives next year."

If it is said that in Shandong for a few years, the fledgling Li Shan is still a rookie, but after the experience of Mayi recruiting and the victory of Yanmen, Li Shan also showed his talent in this area. The command ability has been recognized.

Li Shan never thinks highly of himself, but he never underestimates himself. If he can have good generals to assist him, he believes that even if he cannot defeat the enemy, he should be able to stabilize the situation.

What's more, Li Shan knew very well that Pei Shiju's recommendation had almost pushed him to a dead end... Li Yuan would probably choose him as the main general. If Li Yuan retreated and Li Yuan had to use King Qin, then although Pei Shiju had no evidence, he had enough The reasons for pointing out the relationship between himself and Li Shimin.

Seeing Li Shan stepping out, Cui Xin's eyes were complicated and unspeakable, and he suddenly thought that although his son-in-law was usually gentle, when he was really in trouble, he always held his head straight and refused to retreat.

In a small courtyard, except for the twinkling lights, it was full of night. Li Shan quietly pushed the door open, and the figures of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui appeared in his eyes.

"Huai Ren, sit down quickly." Li Shimin said with a smile, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"Someone is watching." Li Shan said while saluting, "Come after cleaning up."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other, and they both knew that it was Pei Shiju... If he followed him here, maybe there would be a big mess.

You don't need to do too much, as long as you light a fire around you, if you are caught off guard, the people who come to put out the fire, the Jin Wu guards who watch the night, and Fang Zheng may see Li Shan, Li Shimin or Fang Xuanling appearing in the same place.

Rumors will spread around tomorrow, coupled with Pei Shiju's push behind the scenes, many things will get out of control.

Li Shimin obviously thought of this, and commented: "Pei Hongda was appreciated by Emperor Wen because of his scheming, Huairen needs to be careful in the future."

"As long as His Highness achieves a great cause." Li Shan said with a smile: "I made up my mind to be with Your Highness many years ago. One is His Highness's demeanor, and he will be a generation of Mingjun in the future. The second is to assist Mingjun to protect himself."

Li Shimin nodded, he also knew very well that as early as when Li Shan was still in Shandong, the outcome between him and Pei Shiju was bound to be related to the outcome of seizing the heir.

Skipping this topic, Li Shimin said in a low voice: "This time the Turks defeated Guan Guogong, and Liang Shidu returned to the land of the three states. The attack is menacing, what does Huairen think?"

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin didn't bring up the serious matter directly. Li Shan was a little startled, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "It's quite weird."

"Huai Ren explained in detail." Li Shimin smiled, "The night is long, I can describe it in detail."

"Guan Guogong is also the old Jiang on the battlefield. He was ambushed by the Turks. Although he doesn't know the details, it is true..." Li Shan shook his head and said slowly: "Hu people march with various methods, but most of them rely on fast horses and sharp arrows, or there may be surprise attacks. , but first disappearing, using defeat to lure the enemy to go deep, and then ambush and defeat the enemy, this is not the usual method of the Turks."

When Li Shan was in Daizhou, he was afraid of the Turkic attack, so he asked the local general and school. The Turkic people rode horses and carried bows, and they often disappeared, but this was mainly because of the speed brought by the good horses and fast horses, not the sneak attack... On the one hand, it was because of the cavalry attack, and experienced veterans could detect the ground shaking from a long distance. On the other hand, it was also because the grassland was vast and flat, making it difficult to hide their whereabouts.

But this time is different, it is obviously a successful overall plan to lure the enemy into depth, which is against common sense.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and said with a smile, "Isn't Gu right?"

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness still has vision, Huairenguo has general talent."

"The battle in Lingzhou took place on September [-]th." Du Ruhui explained to Li Shan: "But at dusk today, Qian Jiulong and Yang sent battle reports one after another. He has already called himself Dubu Khan and has formed an alliance with Tuli Khan."

"Dub Khan..." Li Shan let out a long breath, "It seems that Jieli Khan has died at his hands."

In fact, Ashina Sheer in the original time and space was indeed called Khan, and he was indeed called Dubu Khan, but that was after he captured most of the territory of Western Turks. In this life, Ashina Sheer was in East Turkic Sweat.

"August [-]th and September [-]th... are nearly half a month apart." Li Shan sighed, "Ashina Sheer does have some strategy."

Li Shan is very sure that this plan to lure the enemy deep and ambush everywhere must have come from the hands of Ashina Sheer, and his worries have indeed become a reality, and the boy of Ashina who was released by Li Yuan has become a serious concern .
