Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 850

In the wide hall, more than a dozen giant candles illuminated all the corners. Li Shanduan sat at the head, and his eyes swept over the generals with different faces.

Among them are famous generals whom I had a deep impression of in my previous life, such as Duan Zhixuan, and there are also generals who I have no impression of in my previous life but have good friends in this life, such as Li Daoxuan and Li Keshi.

Li Shan is very aware of the impact the outcome of this battle will have on him, and he is even more aware that this battle has been closely linked to seizing the throne, but he is not nervous or excited, as if he was driving a horse last year. After rushing out of Guji Town, he would maintain this state of mind when he was about to fight.

"Guo Xiaoguo, the governor of Longzhou, has led [-] troops north to Huating, and must not let the Turks invade Longzhou." Li Shan was not in the mood to say nonsense, and cut straight to the point: "Most government soldiers from all over the country have already gathered in Jingzhou, and the governor of Ningzhou Hu Under the command of Qian Jiulong, governor of Jingzhou, the strength is close to [-], and there are more than [-] civilians."

"There is no shortage of armaments, food and grass, and there should be a steady stream. This matter will be handled by Princess Xihe."

"Follow Your Highness's order." Wen Yanbo stood up and saluted, "Make sure the army has no worries."

"Mr. Yanbo is staring at Yuhuchun." Li Shan looked cold, "If it is not enough, I will write a letter to Your Majesty alone, and please punish the crime of Taichangqing Dou Guangda."

"Yes." The corners of Wen Yanbo's mouth twitched. He went to Daizhou with Li Shan at the beginning of last year and formed a friendship. Because his nephew Wen Bang and Li Shan had a good relationship, he specially inquired after returning to the court... I heard Passing Yuhuchun.

Obviously, the King of Handan is following the trend, taking this opportunity to find trouble with the Jingzhao Du family, and the requisition is nothing more than a penny... The problem is that these wines are for military use, and there has never been a precedent.

Therefore, neither the Weapons Supervision, the Shaofu, nor the Ministry of Civil Affairs who supplied the ordnance refused to pay the money. Wen Yanbo heard that Du Yan was so angry that he jumped up and had a big quarrel with his nephew Du Ruhui.

"Gu has ordered the guards to go north ahead of time to build a wounded barracks to gather the wounded soldiers." Li Shan looked at Li Qianyou, "But the construction of the barracks will be presided over by the Chang'an Order, and officials from Jingzhou and Ningzhou will assist them."

Li Qianyou got up to take orders, which is what he is good at. There are five brothers in Danyangfang's generation, the eldest brother Li Yaowang died early, and the remaining four belong to Li Qianyou who is good at literature but not martial arts.

"Five or 6 people, this matter cannot be ignored." Li Shan warned: "Chongyang has passed and the weather has turned cold. We should build a village quickly, at least laying a solid foundation."

Li Ganyou nodded and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the officials have transferred more than a hundred craftsmen from general supervisors, and they will surely complete the work."

Li Shan took a deep breath and continued: "The army should go straight to the border of Yuanzhou and Jingzhou. The first part of this battle is locked up. The Turkic cavalry cannot be detoured."

"Gu Gu intentionally divided into five armies, roughly parallel."

Dou Gui nodded slightly. This is the correct strategy. The Turkic cavalry is strong in being able to penetrate in a wide range. Blocking space is the most effective means of response.

It is useless if it is on the grassland or in flat places like Shuozhou and Yunzhou, but it can have a very good effect in today's terrain environment.

After all, the road on the border between the two states is rugged. If the Tang army presses forward in a parallel formation, the Turkic cavalry may find it difficult to return to the army once crossed, unless they can break through the Tang army's defense line in one fell swoop... and this possibility is basically impossible. That may exist.

"The Turkic cavalry dominates the grasslands, coming and going like the wind, as fast as lightning, and the Tang cavalry focuses on charging sharply, breaking the formation in one fell swoop, each has its own advantages and disadvantages." Li Shanyang said: "The cavalry chief is Zhao Guogong Su Dingfang, and the deputy General Duan Zhixuan of Zuowuwei and General Feng Li of Zuojianmen will be in charge."

The military system of the Tang Dynasty has always had a single cavalry in the army, controlled by the chief general, with one cavalry chief and two deputy chiefs. During the Luoyang war, Zhang Shigui was the cavalry chief.

Last year when Li Shan was in Daizhou, he vigorously promoted cavalry to replace chariot soldiers, with Su Dingfang as the main force, Duan Zhixuan and Chang He as deputy...but the latter two were expelled, and then Li Shan replaced Ma Sanbao and Xue Wanche.

Su Dingfang has already led the troops to the north, and Duan Zhixuan and Feng Li have come out to receive orders... Master Li is a little envious, cavalry is the easiest unit to make meritorious service, but there is no way, although he is also good at riding and fighting, he is not as good as Duan Zhixuan, and Huairen is also impossible Let Qin Wang's lineage occupy the positions of the two deputy managers.

"Duan Zhixuan, you are the favorite general of the King of Qin, Feng Li, you are the Crown Prince's confidant." Li Shan said unscrupulously: "I don't care about this, if this battle is going to be cunning, don't blame Gu for not giving face to the Prince and the King of Qin!"

Both Duan Zhixuan and Feng Li's expressions changed. The former thought of the old event of being expelled the year before last, and the latter was similar, thinking of Chang He.

"If Feng Li is trapped in the chaos, if you, Duan Zhixuan, dare to step on your feet, even if you make great achievements, Gu will behead you, and vice versa!"

Li Shan's tone became more serious, and there was a chill in his words, "Yuan Guogong Shi Wanbao, can be a lesson for you!"

Since he was invited to set off, Li Shan has always had a gentle image in front of the generals, but now he is aggressive. All the generals present are fighting for the rest of their lives, but they can't help but hold their breath... The county king in front of him has a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in his hands.

There was silence in the room, and many people turned their attention to Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang who was second on the left. It was this county king who beheaded Shi Wanbao back then.

It has been many years, and many things in Guantao City were no longer secrets. At least the generals present knew that it was King Handan who rescued Li Daoxuan from Ashina Sheer, who was the first to enter the city. The thing is to kill Shi Wanbao.

Even Feng Li, a confidant of the crown prince, knew that Cui Hao, who had had a grudge against Li Shan, mentioned in private that it was Li Huairen who encouraged Li Daoxuan to kill Shi Wanbao, but the crown prince was not stupid. It is concluded that the defeat of the next game, and being hunted down so badly afterwards, is it possible to sit still and wait for death?

As if he had noticed something, Li Daoxuan thought for a while, and said loudly: "Zhang Wu'an and Xue Wanche are their masters, but under the command of Handan, fighting the enemy together can be an example."

Duan Zhixuan and Feng Li looked at each other and fell to the ground together. The former said loudly: "This is a national war, and we are willing to join hands to fight against the enemy."

One thing is generally recognized, Li Shan commanded the army, never valued the position of the generals under his command, dared to use Liu Shirang who was suspected by the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, dared to use Zhang Shigui, the confidant of King Qin, and Xue Wanche, who was loved by the prince, and these people were all rewarded generously , all three of them leaped into Duke Jun.

Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo on the side have the same judgment in their hearts. This young county king is a teacher who never forgets the future. In the battle of Xiabo, Shi Wanbao stopped moving forward. In the battle of Guji Town, Li Jing sat and watched the Turks. The siege... Li Huairen hated it the most, and was extremely afraid of similar things, so he made it clear in advance.
