Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Among the generals of King Qin's lineage, the one who is the most famous and famous in battle is actually not those names that are familiar to later generations, but Zhang Shigui.

Zhang Shigui stood alone in Henan in his early years, and he defeated Wang Shichong twice so that Zheng Guo's power could not be greatly expanded... At that time, it was the time for Western Qin and Liu Wuzhou to start wars with Tang Dynasty one after another, and Wang Shichong intended to attack Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is the most famous strategic place in the world. It connects with Guanzhong on the upper side, reaches Bashu on the lower side, connects the Han River to the Central Plains on the right, and reaches Longyou on the left.

In the first year of Wude, Li Yuan sat and watched the battles in the Central Plains, Jianghuai, and Hebei, but he did nothing. He dispatched Li Xiaogong, king of Zhao County, to lead an army to attack Bashu, defeated Zhu Can, and went to more than ten states... This trick All of them follow the same path that the King of Qin used to rule the world.

But I didn't expect that it was Xue's father and son first, and then Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang. The Tang army was defeated several times, which caused tension in the customs and insufficient troops. Li Yuan had to urgently dispatch troops from Bashu to help. , In an attempt to attack Hanzhong from the upstream of the Han River.

Once Hanzhong is taken by Wang Shichong, not to mention that the troops in the pass are tight, just cutting off Guanzhong and Bashu is enough to make the newly established Tang Dynasty unstable. Insufficient troops.

It was in this battle that Zhang Shigui demonstrated his outstanding military talent. Zhang Shigui, who controlled a large area east of Tongguan, suddenly led his army westward, and fought three times. Fifty thousand powerful troops ensure the safety of Hanzhong.

In addition, Zhang Shigui has won several victories with Li Huairen, the heir king of Wei in recent years, and now he is entrusted by the king of Qin to guard the most important governor of Yuanzhou.

Uh, in fact, many people secretly speculate that although Zhang Shigui's military exploits are there, and he is a rare meritorious general in the Tiance Mansion, the key is that he has a close relationship with Li Huairen...

There are not many places, and there are only ten candidates at present, and according to the news in the palace, the quota will definitely not be filled immediately... Everyone knows this truth, and many places will be left for later wars with the grassland barbarians.

Of the ten candidates, Li Huairen, Li Xiaogong, Li Yaoshi, and Dou Gui accounted for four, and the rest... Those who have good things will make up for Li Shan's two brothers Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche who are loyal to Jinlan, plus Huo Guogong Chai Shao, who has made many military exploits and made great contributions in the western expedition to Tuyuhun, there are only three left.

Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, and Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, both had good friends with Li Shan, and they were both generals in the past. Zhang Zhongjian, who was under Li Shan's family, is still the leading general in the Lingzhou army.

In a word, the news released by Li Yuan, and Li Shan was ordered to draw up candidates... put Li Shan on the cusp.

It was under such circumstances that Wu Guogong Wei Chi Gong, Lu Guo Gong Cheng Yaojin and Duan Zhixuan started arguing at the door, and the quarrel was quite serious... Duan Zhixuan was kicked over by Yu Chigong.

This is not unusual, Yu Chigong is such a person, in the history of next year, after a disagreement, he punched Li Daozong, who was renamed King Jiang Xia, blind in one eye.

But to Li Shan's surprise, it was Cheng Yaojin, who was famous for his image as a reckless man in romance novels, who was so instigating. This guy is really not a good person. Duan Zhixuan from Sun Moon Lake.

Duan Zhixuan, an idiot, listened to it for a long time before he could hear something. My hope for love is not small!

Indeed, although there were festivals in the early years, there was Tiantai Mountain first, and then there was the battle between Jingzhou and Yuanzhou. It might be possible to kill many enemy generals.

Yu Chigong on the side was upset when he heard it, and said coldly that you are just a magistrate.

Duan Zhixuan quit. He felt that based on his meritorious service last year and this year, he could at least be promoted to Duke of the county... and because Huo Changsun died in Tiantai Mountain last year, Li Shimin just ordered Duan Zhixuan to take charge of Xuanjia soldiers who returned to Beijing.

The number of Xuanjia soldiers in Tiance Mansion is actually not too many, a considerable part is stationed in Luoyang, and only a small part is in Chang'an as personal guards. There are four commanders, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and the replacement Duan Zhixuan who killed Huo Changsun.

Therefore, Duan Zhixuan's status in Tiance Mansion has grown by leaps and bounds, and he has already offended others... Perhaps the most upset one is Yu Chigong.

In this way, the two of them fought from bickering to fighting at the door. They were all very skillful. Wang Junhao and Hou Hongtao, who were welcoming the guests, couldn't stop them, so they had to let Qu Silang rush in to report the news.

Li Shan walked to the door quickly, and saw the two guys rolling on the ground, their faces were darkened, and they just looked at them without making a sound.

Among the many guests who came out to watch the fun, there were Li Gaoqian and Feng Li who watched the fun, and Yang Shidao who had nothing to do with him. But what surprised Li Shan was that Li Keshi, Zheng Generals of Tiance Mansion like Rentai and Liang Jianfang didn't say a word.

Obviously, Duan Zhixuan and Yu Chigong didn't have much popularity in Tiance Mansion.

Hou Hongtao at the side quietly approached and said something in a low voice. Li Shan looked at Cheng Yaojin with a half-smile, thinking that Li Shimin is really not easy. a lot.

At this time, the two finally found a large row of onlookers standing at the door, stopped their hands, and everyone looked closely, there was blood on the corner of Yu Chigong's mouth, Duan Zhixuan had a black eye, and the left cheek was red and swollen.

"I heard that Wu Guogong is the most powerful general under King Qin's command in beheading generals and capturing the flag. He is the most powerful general under King Qin." Li Shan squinted his eyes and looked at Yu Chigong, "The victory is not yet decided, why did you stop?"

Although Yu Chigong is arrogant, he knows how powerful he is. He was born in Shuozhou, and he has long learned of Li Shan's methods in Shuozhou from the villagers. Dressed up a wound.

But Yuchi Gong was clumsy with words, just stood there silently, while Duan Zhixuan beside him was shouting, "Your Highness, this official accuses Your Highness of being unfair!"

Li Shan asked calmly, "Why is it unfair?"

While speaking, Li Shan turned his head slightly and glanced at Cheng Yaojin, whose face was a little pale.

Now, Duan Zhixuan's firecracker has brought Zhang Shigui, Xue Wanche, Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, and Chai Shao all out... Li Shan only felt that his eyes were dark, why didn't he cut down this guy before the battle last year!

Gritting his teeth, Li Shan burst out a few cold words from between his teeth, "Who told you?"

Duan Zhixuan felt something was wrong, and looked at Cheng Yaojin reflexively.

Cheng Yaojin took a few steps back, his expression flustered, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't..."

Before Sanlian finished speaking, a gentle voice sounded behind him.

"Huiren is indeed a bit unfair."

Cheng Yaojin jumped to the side, looked sideways, Zhongshu ordered Yang Gongren and his servant Chen Shuda to appear at the same time, followed by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui from Tiance Mansion, Wang Gui and Wei Zheng from East Palace.

Li Shan was a little baffled, this group of killers came to the door taking advantage of the opportunity of watching the ceremony, why are you here?
