Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 925 Departure
The heavy snowfall had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy. Li Shan stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, counting the time in his heart.

It is now December [-]th, only ten days away from New Year's Eve, the Zhuangzi should have started to be lively, the children should have put on new clothes, the roadside should have been filled with all kinds of snowmen, Snow Dog, it's a pity that he can't go back.

Not only myself, but also hundreds of guards can't go back, and even my mother may have to spend the New Year in Cui's mansion, and I don't know how to get along with Eleven Niang... But the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very tempered.

The wind gradually picked up, blowing the hem of Li Shan's clothes fluttering, Zhu Ba at the side persuaded: "Lang Jun, go back to the house first."

Li Shan shook his head, "It's dangerous to go here, why bother to welcome you in the snow?"

After a pause, Li Shan smiled and said: "After this war, you should get married too. If you want to join the army, ask Brother Dingfang to find you a job in the Sixteen Guards. If you don't want to join the army, then stay in Zhuangzi Do stewardship."

Zhu Ba smiled honestly, "The villain is still used to staying by Lang Jun's side."

When Li Shan came to this era, in terms of daily contacts, he was Zhu Ba, and he was always by his side. For him, Zhu Ba lost his arm on the city wall of Guji Town.

"Zhang Sanlang and Qu Silang have joined the army, and even Zhou Zhoulang won a title, don't you want it?"

"The villain is not capable of them." Zhu Ba said, "If you don't chase me, the villain can go back and be a disciple."

"Whatever you want." Li Shan saw the shadows outside, and said casually: "Let Uncle Qi tell you about a baby girl, who will give birth to a big fat boy earlier, just to study and practice martial arts with you."

Zhu Ba's face was full of joy, his son could follow the future Xiao Langjun, this kind of treatment was good enough.

"Meet the King of Handan."

"Lang Jun."

"In the snow outside, don't fall to the ground easily." Li Shan took Huangfu Zhong on his arm, "Have you thought about it?"

"Willing to die for His Highness." Huangfu Zhong's expression was excited and excited. He knew that the King of Handan would definitely use him, but he didn't expect to wait for so long, let alone His Highness's situation is so big.

Although the heavy snow has stopped, standing under the eaves for a long time to greet them also shows His Highness's expectation and entrustment.

"Let's go into the room and talk." Li Shan glanced at Fan Shiyi behind Huangfu Zhong.

Fan Shiyi took out a package from his arms and spread a map on the table. Li Shan didn't look at the map first, but turned his head and said, "Brother Guangpu, do you have any news?"

"For more than a month, there were three or two letters, two of which were brought by the disciples, but they didn't mention the war." Huangfu Zhong said respectfully: "I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"That's wrong." Li Shan said in a deep voice: "Such a big event is related to the life and death of the whole family. It's like a butcher's knife hanging around the neck. You should be cautious."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

Li Shan smiled gently, looked down at the map, stretched out his fingers and moved slowly on the sheepskin, "The Huangfu family regards Anding as the county king, has lived in Guyuan for a long time, and is familiar with geography. If your father succeeds in the crime of surrendering the enemy, he should report to His Majesty, reward him for his merit, and recommend him to be an official."

Fan Shiyi glanced at Huangfu Zhong who was barely keeping his composure, waited and said straightly: "There are many mountains and rivers in Yuanzhou, and it is snowing so much now, I want to find a way to march and avoid densely populated places. There are not many paths to choose from…”

"That's true." Huangfuzhong explained: "And we also need to consider crossing the river. Some rivers are frozen, and some rivers are not frozen because of the terrain. You need to find a place where you can cross the river, or a bridge or a bridge. Canoe."

"Some mountains are difficult to walk and have to be detoured. Some mountains are inaccessible and even have no way to go. We need to find out one by one."

"And also prepare a place to stay overnight, preferably a cave or something, where you can warm up by a fire, after all, the climate is extremely cold."

Li Shan listened carefully, while thinking in his mind, in general, the road is difficult, there are very few stops, and at the same time, he needs to keep warm.

After listening for a while, Li Shan sighed, and held Huangfu Zhong's hands, "I've entrusted everything to you."

"I will live up to Your Highness." Huangfu Zhong said solemnly: "In addition to His Highness's personal guards, I will also select 20 people from clansmen and in-laws. Each of them has a relative who died at the hands of the Liang thief, so we will not leak the news. "

Li Shan turned his head and saw snowflakes fluttering outside the window again, and said softly, "You go and prepare first, Fan Shiyi, you choose cotton-padded clothes and bamboo hats from the storeroom."

"Yes."

After personally sending Huangfu Zhong out of the house, Li Shan looked at the man's back and asked in a low voice, "Is his wife still in the army?"

"En." Fan Shiyi responded.

In this era, Li Shan is based on Huairen and righteousness. There are not many people who can really spy on his inner world. His mother doesn't know, Zhu Wei doesn't know, Li Yuan doesn't know, Li Shimin, Princess Pingyang, Li Kai, Zhang Wenguan don't even know. Know.

Only Ling Jing and Ma Zhou knew a thing or two, and Fan Shiyi, who had been a scout and spy since the beginning of the Shandong War, also knew a little bit. He knew very well that his lord was not a real gentleman.

But this is also a good thing. A real gentleman can't gain a foothold in this era, let alone leap from the bottom to this place.

To put it bluntly, Li Shan promised to accept Huangfuzhong's son as an apprentice, but in fact he kept his wife and son in his hands to ensure that Huangfuzhong would not have two hearts.

"If there is any change?" Fan Shiyi asked tentatively.

"Just give it a try, even if it doesn't work, it's okay." Li Shan said with a sneer, "You go with Huangfu Zhong, no matter what happens, it's up to him to decide, you just need to watch."

"Yes."

Watching Fan Shiyi also leave quietly, Li Shan stood under the eaves for a long time. At some point, the figures of Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo appeared in front of him.

"Departure?"

"Ah."

"It's a bit risky." Wen Yanbo shook his head slightly, he was not a Confucian scholar who didn't know anything about military affairs.

But Dou Gui agreed, "If it succeeds, the next battle will be swept away."

Wen Yanbo stared at Li Shan's face, which was slightly young, with a high nose bridge, frowning, and pursed lips, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Your Highness, don't do anything rash!"

Li Shan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Yan Bo still refuses to forgive my nephew."

Wen Yanbo said sternly: "This is an important matter for the military and the country, so I should call it Your Highness."

Dou Gui also came to his senses, took a few steps forward, and echoed, "It's no different than the battle in Jingzhou. Your Highness should not return to danger lightly. If there is any disagreement, even if the enemy is defeated, the army will lose its leader. I'm afraid the Liang bandits will take over It's cheaper."

"What you two said is true, what you said is true." Li Shan put his hands into his sleeves.

After chatting about this battle for a while, Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo left. They were a little worried. This well-known young county king seemed gentle and refined, but he never backed down before the battle, and he was afraid that he would go into battle again.

"With Huairen as the character, Duke Ling can be called His Royal Highness's bosom friend."

Hearing what Wen Yanbo said, Dou Gui was silent for a while before nodding his head in agreement. He also knew in his heart that according to normal restraint, the army would be stationed around Baiquan County, and after the spring of next year, when the ice melted and the snow melted, he would conquer Guyuan with heavy troops ...Although there must be heavy casualties, they can be conquered after all.

However, Li Huairen chose a relatively risky path. If he failed, it would have nothing to do with the overall situation. If he succeeded, he would definitely wipe out Liang Jun.

From Li Huairen's point of view, there is actually no need for this... No matter which general in the court, even the king of Qin himself, there will inevitably be a large number of casualties.
