Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 919 Snow
Time passed little by little, and the weather became colder day by day. On the fifth day of December, the expected heavy snow fell on Wonju, covering the hills and mountains with a huge white blanket.

Li Shan stood under the eaves, staring aimlessly at the snowflakes dancing in front of his eyes, and suddenly remembered the ten days in Mayi two years ago, which also had such a heavy snow, and he made up his mind in that small village A blow back, that is, from then on, I jumped out of the trap, and gave Pei Shiju that old fox a heavy blow for the first time.

At the same time, it was also the beginning of his rise from fame to domestic fame. Li Shan thought of Liu Shirang, who was old and firm, Zhang Gongjin, who was cautious but slippery, Guo Ziheng and Du Shiyuan who later rebelled in Yuan Junzhang's old ministry, and who also entered the court later. He Liu, who lives in Sun Moon Lake and joined the army this time, and many, many people...

In fact, Li Shan seldom saw snow in his previous life, but in this life, he could see heavy snowfall every year. It seems that snow has become a symbol of Li Shan and his good fortune.

It was first in the last battle in Shandong, beside the Yongji Canal, in the heavy snow, the Tang army finally defeated the enemy and captured Liu Heita alive. Dajie also braved the heavy snow and pursued overnight, and finally captured Yugushe again.

"Huairen hasn't made a new work for a long time, and it snowed suddenly today, so there must be a good work in the near future."

"I asked the local old officials. I'm afraid it will be snowing again and again this year." Li Shan turned around and smiled bitterly, "It's snowing so heavily and the road is slippery. I'm afraid there is nothing to do this year. How can I write poems?"

The one who spoke was Li Kai who had already served as the magistrate of Baiquan County. After a year or so, Li Kai now has a little bit more weathered color, and his words and deeds are quite capable.

"The sixteenth brother is here too." Li Kai said with a smile: "It's a pity that Brother Xiaoqing is still observing his filial piety, otherwise it would be nice to gather here, talk about the past, and look forward to the future."

Li Shan couldn't help laughing, "I heard that Zhaode still wants to follow Zhigui's example and join the army?"

"Yes, I was severely reprimanded by my fourth uncle."

"Zhaode has the ability to do things, and his official career will definitely benefit in the future, but he is just like a young man, and his military strategy is not his director." Li Shan shook his head, "It is said that the King of Handan in the Tang Dynasty was a famous general at one time, and he defeated the Turks several times, but Jingzhou Ten days before the great victory, my little brother could hardly sleep at night, and even when he fell asleep, he was often awakened."

"Before the war is over, no one knows whether their choice is right or wrong...but every choice is about thousands if not tens of thousands of lives."

Li Kai sighed, the friend in front of him has turned the tide time and time again, and has become famous all over the world time and time again, but as he saw recently, his friend often frowns, rarely smiles, and no longer has the joyful expression of when they first met.

After thinking about it, Li Kai changed the subject, "We should celebrate the New Year here this year, do you want to make preparations?"

"There is no danger of food and grass, and there are enough cattle and sheep left by the Turks, so there is no need to prepare anything else." Li Shan said with a smile: "Brother Demou has been on behalf of the land for two years, and when he returns to Beijing, Auntie must be punished. "

"Mother reprimand?"

"It's to punish the younger brother." Li Shan said with a chuckle: "My family's Sanlang has made great achievements and was awarded a knighthood. He regrets imitating Huairen, but he also needs to be powdered."

Li Kai was stunned, and laughed loudly. In the early years, he took Li Shan to visit his mother for the first time, and Changsun asked him to bring a few boxes of powder as a gift. Such a good Erlang, but black as a black bear.

"Speaking of which, Brother Demou has been in Dai County for two years, and the marriage has been delayed..."

"Mother is ready, we will welcome the relatives next year." Li Kai said with a smile: "If you haven't resigned, then you can welcome the relatives in Baiquan County."

Li Kai made an engagement with the Cui family of Boling, and they were planning to get married two years ago, but it was only delayed when he became an acting county magistrate temporarily.

"Brother Demou, brother Huai, everything is ready!"

Zhang Wenguan trotted over, tsk-tsk said: "It's a good time for a beautiful day and a small feast to enjoy the snow."

Several personal guards came over with tables, copper pots, and charcoal stoves, and placed them under the eaves. Zhang Wenguan pointed at them and said triumphantly: "Wuanzhou is mountainous and rich in mushrooms. These are picked and dried by mountain people. Yes, with the soup made from big bones, it is extremely delicious and mouth-watering."

The table is full. In addition to soaked mushrooms and fungus, there are also all kinds of meatballs, beef balls, lamb balls, and there are shrimp balls and fish balls. After all, Yangjinchuan, Hong Water river, rich in aquatic products.

Of course, if you want to eat hot pot, the most important thing is beef and mutton. Several guards are taking down the frozen beef and mutton from the eaves, and using a knife to cut it off piece by piece. Among them, Fan Shiyi has the best technique. The resulting beef and mutton are as thin as cicada's wings, even thinner than those made by machines in later generations.

As soon as the wine was poured, and the hot pot hadn't even rolled yet, there was a distraught voice from outside, "Brother Six, Brother Huai, they are so unkind, they didn't call you my little brother!"

"Why is Sixteenth Brother here?" Li Kai said with a smile, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that Fourth Uncle won't let you go out?"

It was Li Zhaode who came, and Li Qianyou became the governor of the former governor, so he came here excitedly. After all, only Baiquan and Pingliang have been recovered now, and the governor's office of Yuanzhou can only be located in Baiquan County.

In the past, when Li Shan, Li Kai, and Wang Renbiao had banquets with others, if beef was to be used, Li Zhaode would get it from the Chang'an county government, and the slaughter of cattle by the people had to be reported to the officials.

But it's different now, Li Kai is the order of Baiquan, and it's not easy to get some beef.

"It's snowing heavily today, my father is going on a tour with the Duke of Nanyang." Li Zhaode said with a chuckle, "If my father asks, I have to cover it up, Brother Huai."

"What are you covering up?" Li Shan rolled his eyes, "Uncle has repeatedly mentioned that Zhaode has not made progress in his studies in recent years... I am going to give my uncle a gift, which will definitely improve Zhaode's studies."

"What gift?" Li Kai asked with a smile.

Looking at Zhang Wenguan and Li Zhaode who were curious, Li Shan said slowly: "The great victory in Jingzhou captured Tuli Khan alive. Although he was sent back, his horsewhip was inlaid with gems that day, and it was quite exquisite."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Wenguan clapped his palms and laughed loudly, "Zhaode, Zhaode, you should just learn from someone else and simply understand the scriptures."

Li Zhaode resentfully said: "Even if you are whipped, you can't write poems like Brother Huai. I have long wanted to test Mingjing, but my father didn't allow it."

"Since the publication of "Moonlight Night on the Spring River", how many people dare to go to the Jinshi Department?"

Li Shan rubbed his nose, I'm really sorry...but I can't blame me, who made Li Dewu, that shameless man, force me to only take the entrance exam?

Forcing me to pretend to be thirteen, I am also very helpless!

Zhang Wenguan asked curiously: "That day my uncle punished Brother Huai for three new works, do you have any clue?"

Li Shan shook his head, "Let's talk about it, now I am busy with military affairs, so I really have no time."

Zhang Wenguan curled his lips, he had been with the army for quite some time, and he followed Li Shan every day. He didn't know that the original camp hadn't been completed yet, and Li Shan was still busy with daily inspections, but since the completion of the construction, Li Shan had nothing to do.

Dou Gui and Su Dingfang presided over the usual military affairs, Wen Yanbo was in charge of logistics management, and Zhang Shigui and Li Qianyou assisted. Li Shan now... In his own words, it is called a house.
