Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

It was late at night, and Yanmen Pass fell into silence, with only a few lights flickering.

Pang Yu waited silently in the house for a long, long time, until the night wind whistled into the house and blew out the flickering candlelight.

"Third brother really don't want to go?"

"If you don't go, when the King of Huaiyang arrives, the Han Dynasty will be unable to fight." Xue Wanjun said with a bitter smile: "Who knew that after Pang Yu, the court actually set up a march on the Hedong Road, and the King of Huaiyang was in charge of the place."

Xue Wanche said happily: "Of course it's because of Huairen."

Xue Wanjun glanced sideways at this younger brother and said, "You are lucky to meet someone as kind and righteous as King Wei Si."

The general manager of Xiazhou was inexplicably transferred to Daizhou Sima, one was in Xiazhou, and the other was in Shangzhou, which nominally governed the five states. It was barely an equal transfer, but Xue Wanche was still very dissatisfied.

But when they arrived in Daizhou, after Xue Wanjun carefully analyzed it, Xue Wanche realized that among the Donggong lineage, he, Wei Zheng and Li Shan had the closest relationship, so they sent Wei Zheng to Lingnan and himself to Daizhou. It's all out of good intentions... Although they are both famous generals, Xue Wanjun's thoughts are much more delicate than his brother's.

"Take it apart and take a look." Xue Wanjun picked up the scissors and cut off a small section of the wick, and the light suddenly turned on, "Fourth brother, you are not allowed to have any contact with the East Palace in the future... Do you hear that?!"

"Brother is still in the East Palace... I heard it, I heard it." Xue Wanche muttered a few times and took out Li Shan's letter that Li Daoxuan brought from his sleeve.

Xue Wanjun seemed not to have heard. The eldest brother Xue Wanshu is now an official of the East Palace, but among the five brothers, he and the fourth brother are in Youzhou, while the eldest brother is under the command of Wang Shichong in Luoyang. They separated early in life, and their friendship is not serious... Now that King Qin is about to come to power, every one he can pull out is one.

Even if the prince is defeated in the end, with him and his fourth brother here, the eldest brother should at least be able to escape with his life.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the fourth brother across from him looked ugly. Xue Wanjun frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This article is full of reprimands, and even brought you, Third Brother." Xue Wanche felt a little baffled.

Xue Wanjun took the letter and looked at it for a few times, then frowned again. He put the letter down and was about to speak, but after thinking about it, he picked up the letter again and read it carefully, and finally sighed: "I deserve this scolding."

"What?" Xue Wanche was confused.

"His Royal Highness Wei Siwang's old troops are all over the army. I'm afraid he has known about it for a long time." Xue Wanjun smacked his lips, "I did it for my brother."

When Pang Yu and Qin Wutong were fighting, brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche played an old trick. One obeyed Pang Yu and the other Qin Wutong...at least they would not lose in the end.

But the Xue brothers have forgotten that when it comes to seizing the heir, not putting eggs in one basket is called caution and leaving a way out, but in wartime, this is called causing trouble.

Why is the Daizhou army unstable? Pang Yu has no foundation or status in Daizhou, so why should he fight with Qin Wutong, the general manager of Daizhou?
The reason was Xue Wanjun, the right-guard general who was in the same lineage as the King of Qin and served as the cavalry commander of the Daizhou Army.

Qin Wutong and Li Shan had a good relationship. They were both direct descendants of Li Yuan. They sent a letter directly to Chang'an. Li Yiyan, the military recorder of the Daizhou Governor's Office, was the same year as Li Shan and had a good relationship. He also sent a letter back... ...After Li Shan communicated with Li Yuan and Li Shimin respectively, he simply asked Li Daoxuan to bring the letter and scolded the two Xue brothers straightforwardly.

Xue Wanjun put away the letter and said with a wry smile: "It's no wonder that King Wei Si was so angry. Back then, during the battle with Bo..." "Oh, yes." Xue Wanche also reacted, "Back then, King Huaiyang and Shi Wanbao... No wonder Bo was defeated."

The situations are somewhat similar, but there are also differences. For example, Shi Wanbao back then and Pang Yu now were both appointed by His Majesty, but the difference is that Shi Wanbao used saintly edicts to control the army at critical moments, while Pang Yu relied on Xue Wanjun to fight against the coach. .

In fact, Pang Yu is quite confident, because he has a deep qualification in the lineage of the King of Qin. Xue Wanjun is also a lineage of the King of Qin, but Qin Wutong is not, and Xue Wanche is a general in the East Palace.

But things are different now. The king of Huaiyang, Li Daoxuan, is here.

Xue Wanjun pondered in his mind for a while. If he wanted to be foolproof, he could not let Pang Yu get involved in the military power, or send him far away to Xinzhou or Yuzhou.

In the study room of the house a few miles away from here, Qin Wutong was also thinking about this idea.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Although he was extremely tired after three days of marching to Yanmen Pass, Li Daoxuan was still in high spirits. His eyes fell on the map and he said: "Let's see if he is willing to be obedient... The words of obedience will be put here Xinzhou or Weizhou, otherwise he will be appointed as the commander of the march of Hedong Road and let him go to Taiyuan to file a lawsuit with Dou Jing."

The March Commander of Hedong Road is Li Daozong, the current Commander-in-Chief of Bingzhou, but the history of the March Commander has not yet been determined. Logically speaking, it should be Dou Jing, the Chief of the Bingzhou Commander-in-Chief Office, who should take up this position. Li Shimin and Li Shan served as the coaches last year. , Chang Shi are officials like Yin Kaishan and Wen Yanbo who are good at managing logistics. If Pang Yu had a hand in it... there would probably be a fight. Dou Jing has been farming in Bingzhou for several years.

After casually mentioning it, Li Daoxuan no longer wanted to worry about such inconsequential matters as Pang Yu. He pointed at the map and said: "The Turks cut off the connection between Yanmen Pass and Mayi, Guji Town, Sanqiao Town and other Thirteen Fortresses, and even blocked the We're seven or eight miles outside Yanmen Pass, we can't wait like this!"

"Send troops?" Qin Wutong asked tentatively.

"There is no danger of guarding Yanmen Pass, but what about Liu Shirang and Li Shiji?" Li Daoxuan's eyes were firm, "Don't you care?"

Li Daoxuan could not do such a thing, and he also knew that Li Shan could not see such a thing, and even the King of Qin Li Shimin, whom he admired most, would not agree... In the Battle of Luoshui, Liu Heitai attacked Li Shiji at night, and Li Shimin led his bodyguard to help him. If it weren't for Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong, and Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin who arrived later, they would have been killed.

This is also the reason why Li Shiji joined the King of Qin after the great victory at Luoshui.

Before leaving, Li Shimin only mentioned something vaguely, but Li Shan made it clear and clear in Baqiao that troops must be sent... at least he must have the attitude of sending troops.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Daoxuan quickly gathered military morale today, leaving Pang Yu unable to fight back.

The temperament of the army is largely determined by the commander. Although he has been away for several years, Li Shan's attitude has affected the overall thinking of the Daizhou Army. They are willing to send troops. Xue Wanche wanted to send troops before, but he got the support of Xue Wanjun Pang Yu objected... In fact, Xue Wanjun was already a little unable to suppress the generals below.

Seeing Qin Wutong's worried look, Li Daoxuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't go into a big fight."

"This battle requires exploring the Shuozhou battle situation in advance and cannot be ignored. If we send troops to sweep outside Yanmen Pass, the most important thing is..."

"Let Liu Shirang and Li Shiji understand that Yanmen Pass will send troops."
