Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 852
Li Shan watched the generals quarreling endlessly, and after watching with interest for a while, he got tired of it, so he simply went to the side room, and called Kan Leng in by the way.

"Your Highness." After all, Kan Leng was born in Jianghuai, he has self-knowledge, and has no confidence to compete with his colleagues.

"Is everyone picked?"

"We picked 500 people, including the guards of the adoptive father, a total of more than [-] people." Kan Leng was gearing up, looking a little excited.

In his previous life, Li Shan was very interested in the famous Mo Dao of the Tang Dynasty. The so-called "Break the wall and break the people and horses" has infinite power.

But what surprised Li Shan was that in the several battles in Shandong and Daizhou, he saw various types of arms, but he did not see the so-called Modao team.

The year before last Li Gaoqian abandoned the army and fled. Li Shan rushed to Yanmen Pass. Kan Leng stood outside the pass with a Mo Dao as tall as a man, resisting the Turkic cavalry with great power. That was the first time Li Shan saw Mo Dao.

Afterwards, Li Shan specifically asked Kan Leng to find out that the Mo Dao was actually used more in the Central Plains and even in the Jianghuai region, and it was not popular in the north. Kan Ling was once in charge of military discipline in the Jianghuai Army, and there was a Mo Dao team under his command. Invincible, unprecedented.

Li Shan considered that cavalry was not suitable for the main battlefield this time, so after summoning Kan Leng to join the army, he immediately ordered him to select a strong man and form the Modao team, and he was lucky, although the Modao was not popular in the north, But there are still hundreds of weapons in the prison.

"Six hundred is six hundred." Li Shan nodded, "Those who wield the Mo knife can't use it unless they are tall and strong, not to mention that the weapon supervisor also allocated less than a thousand Mo knife."

Li Shan has tried it several times. The Mo Dao has two blades, is as tall as a person, and weighs [-] to [-] catties. A catty in this era is about a catty or two taels in later generations, which means that a Mo knife weighs about [-] catties. .

Without the help of horsepower, infantry holding such a heavy and long sword to kill the enemy is naturally powerful enough, but it also consumes a lot of physical strength, and ordinary soldiers really don't have this ability.

"The Modao team stays in the Chinese army, and it will come in handy sometime." Li Shan instructed, "Once they attack, they should be as fast as thunder, without hesitation."

Kan Leng responded with a loud voice, and happily went to Wen Yanbo to transfer the sergeant, and called Chang'an Ling Li Ganyou in by the way.

"Uncle." Li Shan smiled and got up and said hello, "Uncle, sit first."

Li Ganyou sat down and said with a smile, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Privately, it's more pleasant to call Huairen." Li Shanxian said after a few words: "Don't be too anxious to call the people to build the camp..."

Li Ganyou was taken aback, Li Shan didn't say that before, and he specifically explained that he had to hurry before the cold weather.

"Lay the foundation first, and try to recruit civilians and craftsmen from various prefectures." Li Shan said softly, "But don't build a village quickly. It's not too cold in mid-September..."

"But it's hard to win this battle quickly." Li Ganyou said hesitantly, "I'm afraid that the sergeants will be resentful."

"It doesn't matter." Li Shan instructed: "There is plenty of food and grass, a full stomach every day, the wounded can be treated, and there will be no chaos for the time being."

Confused, Li Qianyou stepped back and turned to find Wen Yanbo, who was also surprised, "The Turkic and Liang divisions will plunder the three states, and the food and grass will be safe for the time being. This war will be protracted..."

"Yes." Li Ganyou shook his head and said, "I don't know how the King of Handan will consider it."

Wen Yanbo thought for a while before saying: "Daizhou and his party saw that the King of Handan was very thoughtful...or he had other plans, so Ganyou should follow orders."

The two began to discuss the allocation and transportation of grain and grass. Li Shan also specifically explained that he needed to supplement meat. Wen Yanbo also had a headache about this. It is considered good for ordinary soldiers to have enough food on weekdays, but they may not be able to eat twice a year. Meat, and tens of thousands of troops, how much pigs and sheep have to be bought to get a piece of meat for each person.

As soon as Li Shan called Qi Laosan in, Li Daoxuan and Li Keshi squeezed in to ask Li Shan to be the master, and everyone wanted to rob Wang Junhao, Hou Hongtao, Qu Silang and other personal guards.

Li Shan glared at Li Daoxuan angrily, he was the one who snatched the most fiercely, "Don't think about it, they are all in the front army."

In the plan, the main task of the left and right armies was to limit the penetration of the Turks. What Li Shan valued most was the front army, the central army, and the cavalry brigade. For this reason, he stuffed Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian in to appoint the chief general, and beat Duan Zhixuan, Feng Li, how could it be possible to send several personal guard commanders who he trusted to the left and right armies.

After sending everyone out, Li Shancai looked at Qi Laosan, "We won't build a camp for the time being, but we need a lot of red bricks."

Qi Laosan's face collapsed, and he said with a mournful face: "Mr. Lang, the villain failed to catch up in the two battles of Guji Town and Cangtouhe last year..."

Li Shan also expressed helplessness. Qi Lao San has always been in charge of making bricks, burning cement, and making horseshoes. Last year, he stayed in Dai County because of this. Although it was safe, he didn't get anything.

"Let Zhou Zhoulang stay." Qi Laosan said in a low voice, "He's already been knighted."

"Both you and Zhou Zhoulang will stay." Li Shan snorted, "Don't want to?"

"Then let Uncle Seven stay?"

Let Zhu Wei stay... Qi Laosan didn't dare to imagine it, so he could only accept it with a grimace.

"You and Zhou Yilang led twenty personal guards to stay here, and obey the orders of Xihe County Lord and Chang'an Order." Li Shan instructed: "Also pay attention to livestock and carriages. Once you need to use them, you must quickly deliver the red bricks to the designated place."

"Yes."

"The matter is of great importance. If something goes wrong, it's up to Gu to deal with you!"

Li Shan drove away Qi Laosan, thinking back and forth in his heart, and settled down, everything is ready now, and he only owes Dongfeng.

At this moment in Chang'an Cui's mansion, Mrs. Zhu and her in-laws, Mrs. Zhang, were chatting. Cui Shiniang held her chin with her little hand, and her upper eyelids were fighting with her lower eyelids.

"Don't worry, this battle is not very dangerous." Mrs. Zhang said in a low voice, "Sister Elder Sun's visit yesterday mentioned that Huairen's previous battles, this time is the safest."

Mrs. Zhu smiled wryly, "If that's the case, how can I not be worried?"

"Yes, Elder Sister Changsun is also worried." Zhang sighed: "But after this battle, Huairen probably won't go out again. In the past few years, almost all the great victories in the north came from him. He has already been canonized as the county king, and his achievements are so high , it’s hard to be kind.”

Mrs. Zhu nodded, but she was muttering in her heart, that's not what Ling Jing said, but Da Lang's ability to cause trouble for no reason is too strong...Maybe there will be a moth someday.

"It's only mid-September." Mrs. Zhang counted with her fingers, "I guess it will be difficult to return to Beijing this year, and next year... I don't know if we will miss the wedding date."

Cui Xin brought up this matter today, and the court commented that it is difficult to win this battle quickly, at least until the Turks return to the grassland in winter, but even so, it may not be easy to regain the three states. The Turks probably will not withdraw their entire army, but will stay Part of the troops helped Liang Shidu gain a firm foothold in the pass.

After losing Mayi, it was hard to seize this stronghold, and the Tang army could be blocked to the south of Yuanzhou. The Turks will not give up easily.

"Who would have imagined..." When Zhu thought of this, she hated Pei Shiju's teeth and itched. She glanced at Eleven Niang who was dozing off, and changed the subject: "Let Eleven Niang go back to sleep."

"She is very careful, she insists on being with you, but she won't be with me." Madam Zhang covered her mouth with a smile and said, "She also said that she would go to Dongshan Temple to pray for Huairen tomorrow."

"Da Lang's life was rough, but he was also lucky."
