Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 887 Punishment
When Feng Li led more than a hundred guards to kill him, the bright light armor on Duan Zhixuan's body was completely damaged, his body was soaked in blood, and a feathered arrow was deeply pierced on his shoulder, but his left hand firmly held onto the sweat flag, There was a smug smile on his face.

"Back, back!" Feng Li couldn't be bothered to pay attention to this guy anymore, he shouted loudly, summoned the cavalry, charged out from the flank, and galloped all the way south... The Turks tried to lure Tang Qi a little farther away, but the encirclement was not tight .

Ashina Sheer, who was watching this scene from a distance, was trembling slightly, the sweat flag was sent to you, and you just left like this? !
Instead of chasing and killing, they withdrew their troops? !
Are you normal?
What fish would swallow the bait in one gulp like you, then wag its tail and run away!
You are not fish, you are real dogs!
Logically speaking, the Khan flag was captured by the opponent, shouldn't it be pursued?
In the battles between Shuozhou and Yunzhou last year, Li Shan always stared at the Khan flag and attacked fiercely. Once the Khan flag wavered or even was cut down and captured, the Turks could no longer withstand the onslaught of the Tang army.

Counting this is the fourth side. In the battle of Guji Town, Li Huairen shot it down with his own hands. Later, Jieli Khan played chess, and Xue Wanjun cut off the flagpole from it again. In the battle of Yunzhou, Li Shanduan charged into the battle for three quarters. Liu Shirang and Xue Wanjun came to help and fell the Khan flag for the third time. The Turkic defeats in these three battles all started with the Khan flag falling to the ground.

And after the Tang army captured the Khan flag, they turned around without hesitation... They failed to lure the Tang army, and failed to recover some interest. This disappointed Ashina Sheer, but it did not disappoint him. The reason he is so angry.

Ashina Sheer has only faintly realized until now that he has probably been tricked...he has been tricked from the beginning to the end. There are only two possibilities if the Tang army does not pursue. With such a great victory, even if there is an ambush, the Tang army will not necessarily give up, not to mention that even the sweat flag has been captured, and it is likely to be another great victory in front of us!

The second possibility is that Li Huairen strictly ordered his generals not to pursue them after entering Yuanzhou.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the second possibility was higher. Ashina Sheer felt a bit of a headache, and suddenly remembered what Ashina Simo said when he returned from his envoy... the Turks must be defeated, the three states should be recovered, and the beams should be captured Shidu and Liang Luoren questioned the crime before the imperial court.

Did that guy already start planning at that time?

It was only after I heard those words that I made an attempt to lure the enemy into the depths and encircle and wipe out Tang Qi in the southeast of Yuanzhou.

Ashina Sheer's scalp was a little numb, he should have known that Li Huairen had a seven-aperture exquisite heart, and his hair was full of eyes.

If I guessed correctly, it means that I and Tuli Khan have been led by the other side from the beginning to the end... If such a big defeat has not destroyed Ashina Society If you don't have the will of a hero like Er, those things make Dubu Khan tremble all over.

Ashamed, Ashina Sheer lowered her head deeply, staring at a bandaged wound on her thigh. Is there any chance of revenge in this life?
Facing Duan Zhixuan and Feng Li who were prostrating on the ground, Li Shan said in a gentle tone: "Fight and pursue, capture the sweat flag, this is a great achievement."

There was a hint of chill in the gentle words, Su Dingfang, Zhang Shigui and others on the side were all expressionless, Wang Junhao looked at Duan Zhixuan with gloating eyes, and there were still people who disobeyed the military order after him!
Wen Yanbo thought about it for a while and was about to smooth things over. After all, it was a great victory, not to mention that Duan Zhixuan was the favorite general of King Qin, but Dou Gui, who was beside him, stretched out his hand and tugged on his sleeve.

"Last year, Xue Wanjun captured the banner of Jieli Khan in a battle in Guji Town, and then defeated the enemy several times, and captured the banner of Khan again in Yunzhou. His prestige was second to none." Li Shan said, "Therefore, His Majesty issued an edict to become Duke Lu. It seems that you, Duan Zhixuan, also have the hope of Duke Lu."

Duan Zhixuan's head was almost touching the ground... He disobeyed orders on the battlefield, he chopped off his own head, and even his father couldn't say anything.

The smile on Li Shan's face became more and more gentle, and he turned to look at Su Dingfang, "Have you received the order from the personal guard?"

"Received." Su Dingfang said without hesitation: "Send Duan Zhixuan and Feng Li, the deputy cavalry commanders, to cover the battlefield to the left, not to go beyond Baiquan County, after Dubu Khan fled, Duan Zhixuan led the army to pursue and was trapped, Feng Lipo Respond."

"Oh?" Li Shan rolled Feng Li's arms and said with a smile, "Before this battle, Gu mentioned that I hope you two, like Wu An and Wan Che, will fight against the enemy hand in hand."

"Duan Zhixuan was trapped in the army, and it was not my fault that I led the army to rescue."

Zhang Shigui glanced at Duan Zhixuan, wondering how Li Shan would deal with it... You must know that this is the first group of confidant generals who joined King Qin's command.

After Feng Li got up, he carefully looked at Li Shan's face, and then said softly: "Before going north to pursue, the general broke through and was trapped by the Turks. It was Zhixuan who came to help..."

After a pause, Feng Li added: "Not past Baiquan County..."

"Not past Baiquan County?" Li Shan frowned and glanced at Su Dingfang.

At that time, Dou Gui, who was listening to the report from the guards with Li Shan, twitched the corners of his lips.

Su Dingfang nodded slightly, "If it wasn't for Feng Li's persuasion, Duan Zhixuan would have continued to pursue northward, and he would have been trapped by the Turks."

Li Daoxuan on the side said calmly: "The scouts reported back just now, there are ambushes in Hongshuihe and Baiquan counties, there are about [-] to [-] cavalry, covering the sky and covering the earth, as dense as black clouds."

Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo looked at each other. The Turks really set up an ambush. No wonder Li Shan wanted to send Duan Zhixuan down. If it wasn't for Feng Li's persuasion and Li Shan's strict order in advance, at least half of the thousands of Tang cavalry who arrived would be buried in Yuanzhou .

You must know that the troops who have arrived through the border so far are only a few thousand, and the damage is too heavy. Not to mention the impact on the next battle, if the Turks counterattack, they may not be able to withstand it.

In other words, Dou Gui's previous guesses have all been proved, the Handan king's thoughts are deep and unfathomable.

Li Shan sighed, "Everyone knows that Gu never differs because of factions."

"Duan Zhixuan served as the deputy commander of the cavalry in the first eight days of the war. He made great achievements in several battles. In today's battle, he went north to pursue and defeat the enemy, and captured the sweat flag. He made great achievements."

"Although it has not passed Baiquan County, it is also a battlefield violation..."

Li Shan smiled lightly and said, "I'll give you two choices. One is to be transferred back to Chang'an for meritorious service, and the other is to share Feng Li's merits and dismiss the deputy cavalry commander."

"The last general doesn't want to go back to Chang'an." Duan Zhixuan replied immediately, being driven back to Chang'an again, he was completely humiliated, not to mention King Qin, even his father would give him a whip.

"Get up." Li Shanyao looked at the Turkic cavalry who were still lingering in the distance, "Xue Wanche served as the deputy commander of the cavalry, Zhang Shigui led the Chinese army, and Xihe County Duke and Qian Jiulong were in charge of building the camp."
