Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 899 Longzhou

Although Zhang Wenguan is only 17 years old, he has an extraordinary talent. He is keenly aware that in this battle that has lasted for many years, the King of Handan, who is closely related to him, will become a key figure affecting the balance .

The most important point is that when Zhang Wenguan was entrusted by Li Shan, he galloped into Beijing and met the King of Qin and many counselors in the Tiance Mansion in Li Shiji's private house, so he has been speculating about one thing, that Brother Huai may have already committed himself to the King of Qin. subordinate.

Of course, unlike Li Kai, Zhang Wenguan cannot be sure. After all, Li Shan had a reason to seek the King of Qin back then... The King of Qi was sitting on a large army, and it was impossible to count on the prince. Most of the governors and governors of the prefectures are the direct descendants of King Qin, such as Tian Liu'an and Qi Shanxing, not to mention Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan who has been under King Qin for a long time.

Afterwards, Zhang Wenguan witnessed with his own eyes how Li Shan got to this position step by step, but no matter how he analyzed it, it was difficult to see the clues that Li Shan was related to the King of Qin.

Maybe I was thinking too much. After all, during the Shandong war, brother Huai was still unknown. He only asked himself when he heard that he had a good relationship with Li Shiji... Zhang Wenguan, who was silent, listened to his elder brother talking with Guo Xiaoke and Yang Ze, but he was still in his heart. Suspicious, but one thing is certain, Li Shan does not want to be involved in the fight for the heir.

"Yesterday Chang'an ordered Li Ganyou to dispatch civilian husbands. According to what he said, hundreds of naked men were beating the drums, and the sound of the drums was loud. The King of Handan was the first to charge the battle. Yang Ze clicked his tongue a few times, and said again: "On that day, His Highness ordered people to hold the Chinese army's banner to the left and right, and to cut them off if they retreated... The one holding the flag is Liu Rengui."

"This man is brave." Guo Xiaoke nodded and said, "When I went out to investigate that day, only a few dozen of the [-] riders returned."

I have already read the relevant battle reports. For example, Zhang Wenxi and Zhang Wenguan are still a little ignorant, while Guo Xiaoke and Yang are veterans in the battlefield. When they associate Liu Rengui's departure for investigation, they quickly figured out the key to this battle. .

"It seems to be a coincidence, but it is definitely not a coincidence." Yang Ze snorted, "Just look at the withdrawal of the Turkic troops stationed in Liupanshan, and the King of Handan will understand Dubu Khan's plan."

Guo Xiaoke shook his head and said: "When we arrive, we will attack fiercely. We don't set up camps. It's the King of Handan who lured Dubu Khan into his strategy."

Zhang Wenguan thought for a while before realizing it, and couldn't help laughing: "Ashina Sheer suffered enough losses under Brother Huai, and he doesn't even have a memory."

Yang Ze also laughed, "The Turks have already retreated, and the war in Yuanzhou is coming...Brother Xiaoke wants to go to Baiquan County?"

"Let's go together." Guo Xiaoke nodded, "I just received a letter from Beijing, Your Majesty ordered Jiang Guogong to leave Beijing to work in the army."

"Zaifu Laojun..." Yang Ze sighed, "It's so grand...but the King of Handan can afford it."

If the Turks could break through the defense line of Jingzhou, they would probably go straight to Jingzhao and drink the Weihe River. At the critical moment, Li Shan, the king of Handan, turned the tide, defeated the Turks, and beheaded tens of thousands.

During the Wude period in the original time and space, there were only two times in the Zaifu Laojun. The first time was the Luoyang Hulao War, Xiao Yu went out of Beijing to appease the King of Qin, and the second time was Liu Heitai's rebellion, Prince Li Jiancheng captured and killed him, and Pei Ji went there in person Hebei labor force.

In terms of scale, the Jingzhou victory cannot be compared with the Luoyang Hulao War, and Li Shan's identity cannot be compared with the prince, but in the sense of fighting against the grassland tribes, he is also worthy of the Zaifu Laojun.

Zhang Wenguan blinked his eyes, thinking that this time he would follow to learn more... He no longer expects to be admitted to the Jinshi Department, uh, he is not the only one in a similar situation, such as Li Zhaode, Wang Renbiao, Fang Yizhi, etc. This thought.

Well, Jinshi's main focus is poetic talent... In this regard, Li Shan's blow to his friends is really a bit strong.

Since they are not planning to take the examination of Jinshi, the examination is actually not that difficult for the children of these aristocratic families... As long as they don’t have to worry about taking the examination of talent, even if they want to take the examination, the governors and general managers of the states will not agree. If they are on the list, they will all be punished.

Other Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingshu, Mingshu subjects are relatively not difficult, thirty old Mingjing, fifty less Jinshi.

In fact, in history, both Chancellor Zhang Wenguan and Li Zhaode entered office as Mingjing subjects.

Zhang Wenguan was still thinking about it, and when he saw Li Shande complaining... Li Shande forced the dog, don't make trouble in this life, Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Shangyin, Du Mu and a group of people all ran to test Mingjing.

After the great victory in Jingzhou, the atmosphere in Longzhou, which was already stable, also calmed down. Guo Xiaoke and Yang Ze rectified their troops and made preparations to attack at any time. The scouts reported back. After the Turks withdrew their troops, Liang Jun also retreated. There are still heavy troops stationed.

And Luo Yi also made a decision... It didn't look like a good show, the Handan King really defeated the Turks, which made Luo Yi very disappointed.

"Sixteen guards?"

"Brother Yanchao was originally the General of Zuoyiwei, and later moved to be the General of Youjianmen." Er Zhuhuan said in a low voice: "This time when he returns to the court, he should be the General of the Sixteenth Guard."

Luo Yi nodded slightly, of course he understood the mystery, a few years ago when he entered the pilgrimage, he saw him as General Zuo Yiwei, and later he was moved to the position of General of Youjianmen by the Eastern Palace. Although he went out to be the governor of Hezhou, he was not dismissed.

It wasn't until more than a month ago that the General of the Right Prison Gate on Luo Yi's head was suddenly dismissed, and Li Yuan's old friend and former Sui minister Zhang Jin replaced him... Luo Yi also knew that this was caused by the First Battle of Tiantai Mountain. What about ghosts?

That was also Luo Yi's most tense moment. If His Majesty is easy to reserve, he has no other choice but to raise troops, but fortunately, the letter from Jingzhong indicated that His Majesty intends to call him back to the court.

With thousands of elites, as well as Youzhou's basic board, and the canonization of the county king, Luo Yi will definitely be the general of the Sixteen Guards when he returns to the dynasty... unless Li Yuan has already deliberately changed his reserve.

Er Zhuhuan explained: "The twelve guards are all intact now, except Guan Guogong Ren Gui..."

Luo Yi now fully understands, no wonder the crown prince sent letters again and again, and sent Zhu Huan to send Er Zhuhuan twice to call him back to the capital.

There are four generals in the Beiya Imperial Army, the left prison gate general Su Dingfang, the right prison gate general Zhang Jin, the right Qianniuwei general Dou Gui, and the left Qianniuwei general Ren Gui.

Er Zhuhuan lowered his voice and said: "The crown prince will be rewarded, and Duke Guan will kill himself when he is defeated."

Ren Gui died, which created a vacancy among the original sixteen guards generals, and Luo Yi returned to the court, and he would definitely be able to take over without any accidents. .
