Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 891 After the War
The battle, in which the two sides invested a total of more than 15 troops, finally came to an end. It ended with the overall victory of the Tang army. After a big victory, Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan fled north in embarrassment, and the name of the King of Handan once again resounded throughout the world.

Li Shan finally had a chance to take a good rest. Although the Turks withdrew their troops, and they were likely to withdraw all the way back to Wuyuan County, and then the two old friends started a new round of infighting within the Turks. After the Turks rose, grew, peaked and then declined , death, this kind of drama of love and killing has never stopped for a moment.

But it is not easy to recover the three states. At least Li Shan is not going to risk his life. Anyway, the initiative is in his hands, and he can go north at any time.

Three of the seven passes in Yuanzhou are occupied by Liang Jun. In addition, Xiaoguan, the most important north gate of Yuanzhou, is also in the hands of Liang Jun. Failure to take Xiaoguan means that Tang Jun has no way to recover Lingzhou and Huizhou unless they cross the Hulu River. , Jing River, and crossing Liupan Mountain...that is impossible.

It's just the three checkpoints occupied by Liang Jun, and they want to recover... If Liang Jun doesn't surrender, then Tang Jun can only use his life to pile up, and he has to guard against Xiaoguan sending troops to attack the back road at any time.

Therefore, Li Shan categorically denied the invitation of several generals under his command to fight, and set up camp on the east side of Baiquan County, preparing to take care of him... Although this period of time is not long, he is exhausted and must be raised. keep.

What's more, Li Shan intends to use this place as his old nest for a long time, so the construction must be very careful. Li Ganyou and a large number of civilians are laying the foundation. It is already late September. If the foundation is not laid, the land will freeze.

"Lang Jun." Wang Junhao broke in and said loudly, "Baiquan County sent another two hundred sheep."

"Well, keep accounts, keep accounts." Li Shan murmured in his heart, this is always impossible, does Li Yuan have so much money in his internal treasury?

But if the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Young Prison don't pay for the money, then Li Yuan has to pay for it... I can't let myself, the county king who has just made great achievements, pay for it, it's just asking for trouble for myself.

But there are two hundred more sheep, and the whole army can eat meat at night... Speaking of which, in addition to the horses collected from the battlefield and the [-] good horses left by Tuli Khan, the Tang army gathered a large number of horses in the past few days. livestock.

The Turkic army withdrew quickly, the speed of the retreat...the scouts sent out couldn't even see the shadows, but they found a large number of abandoned livestock in the wild.

Hu people often carry livestock when marching. More than [-] Turkic troops swept south, and they would naturally carry a large number of livestock. Lingzhou, Yuanzhou, and Huizhou are originally the northwest of Guannei Road. Ordinary people also have the habit of raising livestock. Khan, Ashina Sheer stationed troops at the border of Yuanzhou and Jingzhou, and called up troops from all over the country, and a large number of livestock naturally concentrated in Yuanzhou.

The sudden defeat and Li Shan's instigation made the two khans very anxious and eager to return, so a large number of livestock were left like this, and Tang Jun took a big advantage.

Unexpected harvest, Li Shan didn't expect those two old friends to be so anxious.

Li Shan simply asked the rear army to send the corpses of the war horses they collected, and also brought a lot of Yuhuchun, planning to hold a bonfire party at night, and the whole army will eat meat and drink!

After two days of counting, more than [-] Turks died in battle that day, and many of them fled into the mountains. I don’t know if they have a chance to escape. About [-] to [-] troops were lost, and five or six out of ten of the most elite king's tent soldiers under Dubu Khan's command were lost, which can indeed be regarded as a serious injury.

In addition, the Tang army also captured a Khan flag, killed dozens of famous Turkic generals, and together with the [-] good horses left by the Turkic Khan, they brought in nearly [-] war horses at one time... Greatly enhanced the cavalry strength of the Tang army. Most of the Guannei government soldiers can ride horses. The main reason why they are infantry is because they don't have horses.

The loss of the Tang army is relatively small. After Li Shan attacked with the banner of the Chinese army that day, the Turks almost had no fighting spirit, so Ashina Sheer tried to break the rear again and again. , but was also mercilessly defeated by the Modao team.

In addition to the previous eight-day war, the Tang army lost a total of about [-] to [-] troops, most of them were cavalry, and there were nearly [-] heavy cavalry... Before the battle started that day, Li Shan was very distressed, but Much better now.

Li Shan is going to turn around and ask the weapons supervisor and the Shaofu for armor and ordnance. Anyway, he has a lot of good horses, and organizing a heavy cavalry is... Uh, I have to let the weapon supervisor quickly make a Modao, but according to Kan Leng It takes a lot of money to make a Mo knife, and the difficulty is quite high.

It is really impossible to let Jianghuai send a batch of Modao over... The Jianghuai army was wiped out early last year, so there should be some leftovers. Although the Modao team is not used in many places, they can still be sent in the next battle in Yuanzhou useful.

I still need to get some crossbows. Kan Leng mentioned the Modao team in the Jianghuai Army. The arrows are often more sharp to defeat the enemy with crossbows.

"Magistrate of Baiquan County... Do you want to see Mr. Lang?"

"What's the background?" Li Shan asked casually, thinking that the military newspaper should be able to enter Beijing tomorrow.

"Children of the Li family in Longxi." Wang Junhao whispered, "It seems to be old with General You Qianniuwei."

Just as he was talking, Master Li Ke asked to see him outside, Li Shan greeted him personally, and said with a smile: "Uncle finally arrived."

"Greetings, Your Highness." Li Keshi and Ma Sanbao stayed in the rear, chasing the remnants of the enemy.

"If you don't give orders, how can uncle be commensurate?"

"Huiren." Li Keshi smiled and entered with Li Shan's arms, "Li Xuande, the magistrate of Baiquan County, is the younger brother of Guzang House, and his son is Li Yiyan."

"Oh, it turned out to be brother Yiyan's father." Li Shan was a little surprised. Li Yiyan was a Jinshi in the same year as himself. In the battle, it was Li Yiyan who rushed to Dai County and led the army with Li Kai to help.

The son is not worthy of his father, unlike Li Yiyan who escaped to report the letter at the critical moment, the Turks attacked, and it is said that Baiquan County surrendered without a fight. Li Shan pondered in his heart, Baiquan County was the first county to be recovered, how to deal with the officials Very representative.

Li Shan understood this sentence, his son was already a magistrate, and his father was just a magistrate, if Li Xuande did not resign, it would be tantamount to blocking Li Yiyan's promotion.

"That's how it is, order him to rectify the county, appease the people, summon the peasants, collect the corpses, and some wounded soldiers will also settle in the county." Li Shan didn't want to talk about this anymore, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Uncle in this battle can Are you blaming my nephew?"
