Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

The strategy has been decided, and there are still many things to do next. No one knows whether Hu Qi will rush on the road overnight, maybe he will pounce on him tomorrow, and everyone has a lot of things in their hands.

As the deputy commander-in-chief, Dou Gui was the busiest. He not only had to lead the army to settle in Liquan County, but he was also responsible for the deployment of generals and commanders of the entire army.

Quite a few of the soldiers have just formed an army, and they are all led by the hussar generals of Zhechong Prefecture. Each Zhechong Prefecture has different military strength and combat power, so it is necessary to temporarily assign generals and merge commanders. For this reason, Dou Gui was transferred from Li Shan. Zhou Fang and many other personal guards.

Wen Yanbo is also very busy. On the one hand, he is responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. On the other hand, he is also responsible for counting ordnance and sending it to Liquan County and Wugong County. The government troops from Longzhou and Qizhou are now stationed in these two places. But because of the temporary move south, many people lacked weapons.

On the contrary, Li Shan relaxed himself. Qin Qiong, who was in charge of the Chinese army, had surprise in his eyes. Dou Gui on the side thought for a while and pulled Qin Qiong and whispered a few words.

"Only in charge of general matters?" Qin Qiong couldn't help but grin, even though Qin Qiong was a cautious person, "Is it all in charge of a certain person?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Bao." Dou Gui gave him a sympathetic look, "Originally, they were all Commander-in-Chief Dai Guogong. In the battle of Jingzhou, Commander-in-Chief Qian Jiulong also led the Chinese army. Huairen only thought about making decisions."

Well, Dou Gui knows Li Shan well. This world-famous commander is actually not very good at specific affairs in the military... But you can't make it too clear, can you?

Qin Qiong stuttered a little, "This... this..."

"So His Majesty and His Highness the Prince once commented that Huairen is quite similar to Marquis Wu." Dou Gui said with a smile: "Of course, Marquis Wu would not charge into battle with the banner of the Chinese army like Huairen."

Qin Qiong was really confused now and immediately went to see Yuchi Gong... This colleague was allocating chariots just now, but of the 7,000 infantry in the Chinese army, there were only a few hundred cavalry guards around Li Shan. The chariots should mainly be left behind. Chinese army.

Qin Qiong originally thought that Li Shan had already made a decision, but now he realized that it was up to him.

In the Chinese army tent, Li Shan sat there in a daze, still lost in thought. Ma Zhou beside him coughed a few times and asked, "Huairen?"

"Huh?" Li Shan came back to his senses.

Ma Zhou's eyes were full of hope, and Li Shan sneered: "It's true that you, King Ma Bin, are talented as prime ministers and assistants, but military strategy is not your strength... Taking you with me this time is to make up for the shortcomings of the past few years. .”

Ma Zhou's face turned dark and he said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say it!"

Su Xu on the side asked curiously: "A few years ago, Brother Bin Wang publicly broke with King Wei Si, and this matter has also been heard by me..."

"He pushed someone to Chang He's side!" Ma Zhou said angrily: "If it weren't for this, why would we be here now..."

Su Xu's face changed slightly. He knew that Chang He was the guard of Xuanwu Gate, and Li Shan placed the chess piece Ma Zhou next to Chang He... It seems that King Wei Si led his personal guards into Taiji Palace from Xuanwu Gate to suppress the rebellion.

"Brother Shen Xing is one of the eighteenth bachelors. Just call him Huairen." Li Shan wrote lightly: "Brother Shen Xing, don't worry, the King of Qin...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about this matter."

"Oh..." Su Xu responded, and his eyes fell on Er Zhuhuan next to Li Shan. He knew that this person was a confidant of the deposed prince Li Jiancheng.

"There are no outsiders. Please sit here, uncle." Li Shan greeted and smiled at Su Xu: "There are also uncles from Xiurong County, who are all my uncles."

The corner of Su Xu's mouth twitched. Is this still happening?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know."

Su Xu couldn't help but think in his heart, when did Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?

That deposed prince...Li Jiancheng must be unaware of this!

Ma Zhou said angrily at the side: "Remember when you were in Daidi, you called Xiurong County's uncle Brother Zhonggui?"

Er Zhuhuan's mouth trembled. Is this still happening?

Li Shan glared at Ma Zhou, "That's a lot of nonsense!" Ma Zhou said angrily, "I heard that Ling Gong has been appointed as the provincial minister, and has become the prime minister?"

"Even if you stay with X, it won't be your turn!" Li Shan didn't bother to say more and looked at Er Zhuhuan, "My uncle leads the personal guard, about 600 cavalry. The Chinese army only has this cavalry, so we can't ignore it. .”

Er Zhuhuan nodded, "I will protect His Highness and I am willing to accompany His Highness in the battle."

"It shouldn't be my nephew's turn to fight in person in this battle." Li Shan said quietly: "If we do this again, I'm afraid Ashina She'er will set up an ambush."

"Ashina She'er hates you to the core." Ma Zhou also sighed, "The Ashina clan was still powerful in the grassland a few years ago... I'm afraid he only promised Xue Yantuo to found the country..."

"Yes, Pei Hongda said the same thing." Li Shan did not shy away from Su Xu, "I'm afraid Cui Mingqian and Qiao Shiwang have already..."

Everyone stopped talking, and Li Shan fell into deep thought again, constantly speculating in his mind how the battle would develop and whether reinforcements from Yanzhou Road could arrive in Chang'an quickly.

In the baggage department of the military camp, Qin Qiong was exhausted before grabbing most of the chariots from Yu Chigong. Finally, he whispered: "It seems that King Wei Si has some..."

"He never pays attention to details. I heard Su Dingfang mention it before." Yu Chigong didn't care much, "But there are orders and prohibitions. Although you are in charge of the central army, don't make a decision on your own."

Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment, not sure whether he should ask more questions.

Although Yuchi Gong was rough and arrogant, he also had a delicate side. Among the generals in Tiance Mansion, he was relatively close to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yao from the Golden Palm Xuanjia Army. He said in a low voice: "Huairen would have surrendered to Your Highness earlier."

"Come to your highness early?" Qin Qiong emphasized the word "morning".

"Yes, very early." Yu Chigong said with certainty: "In the fifth year of Wude, there was a war in Hebei. My elder brother and Li Keshi Sanlang rushed to Guantao together."

Qin Qiong knew that Li Shan had been granted the title of Duke of Guantao County because of the Shandong War, and he understood immediately when he heard it, "It's so early!"

Qin Qiong's cheeks moved. So, she has been fooling the abandoned prince these past few years!

At this moment, Chang'an.

Chang'an City has always been under curfew, and starting today, the entire city is under martial law. But tonight, the 108 squares are silent, while the lights in the imperial city are bright, the gates of the Golden Gate are wide open, and there are always messengers, cavalry, or vehicles transporting ordnance. In and out.

"There are only 20,000 troops, which is indeed insufficient."

In Liangyi Hall, Li Yuan rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Li Shimin, "What do Erlang think?"

Li Shimin nodded in agreement, "The surrendered troops and prisoners of the Tianjie Army were immediately sent into the army. Huairen should use them to trap the enemy."

"That's it, send it out overnight." Li Yuan hesitated for a while, "I'm afraid the reinforcements from Hedong and Yanzhou won't arrive in a day or two, but Fangzhou and Tongzhou have already started recruiting soldiers. Erlang may go to Xinfeng ?”

"Father!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth, "My child is willing to stay in Chang'an!"

Hey, the father and son in the original time and space are really a kind father and a filial son in this life. Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to go to Xinfeng, just because once Li Shan couldn't bear it, Li Shimin could quickly rush to Huazhou, whether it was to Hedong. It is also very fast to go to Shaanxi Road via Tongguan.

After a moment of silence, Li Shimin whispered: "Huairen will not disappoint his father, but it may allow the third brother-in-law to go to Xinfeng. As long as Huairen can last for a few days, the third brother-in-law can take over Tongzhou and Fang in Xinfeng one after another." State and Hedong reinforcements."
