Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

"That doesn't make sense!"

Between the two groups of more than a hundred cavalry, on the grassland on the side of the Weishui River, three or four Tang soldiers were manning the barbecue grill, and four or five Tiele tribesmen were hesitant to help... The smell was really delicious.

And Li Shanzheng explained to the livid-faced Yi Nan with a smile in a serious manner... This is indeed the etiquette of inviting you to a banquet. Ma Zhou and Su Xu on the side were speechless.

"Brother Yi Nan's memory is not very good?" Li Shan said with a smile: "The conversation before the battle the day before yesterday, have you completely forgotten it today?"

"Xue Yantuo attached himself to the Turks, sent his troops south, attacked Tang City, occupied Tang territory, and killed Tang people. You and I belong to two countries and attack each other. Do you have other ways to pass the invitation?"

"Brother Yi Nan, don't you think it's funny to ask such a question?"

"Yu Sheshe asked this outside the city of Mayi back then. I thought only Ashina's children could be so stupid."

Ma Zhou and Su Xu both looked at Yi Nan with sympathy... This leader of Xue Yantuo might really be in trouble.

Well, in history, Yi Nan established the Xueyantuo Khanate, which once replaced the Turks in the east. However, it was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty within twenty years. He was indeed not a majestic monarch.

At this time, Liu Heier strode over with a plate on which was placed a lamb that had been roasted until golden brown. Zhao Da on the side was holding a dagger and cutting off the lamb piece by piece.

"Sit down." Li Shan smiled, stretched out his hands, and sat on the grass. "Everyone in the world knows that Li Huairen has learned a lot, but he really doesn't know that I am good at and enjoy only two things. One is medicine, and the other is food. .”

Ma Zhou on the side curled up his lips wildly, "This thirteen-year-old pretender... I give you full marks!"

Yi Nan picked up two pieces of meat and put them into his mouth to chew, his eyes lit up, "It seems to be sprinkled with spices?"

"That's natural." Li Shan said casually: "All meat, whether beef or sheep, needs spices."

Yi Nan was also speechless. There were many kinds of spices, but no matter which one they were, they were more expensive than gold. He, the leader of Xue Yantuo, couldn't afford to use them... not even Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan could afford them, maybe. Jieli Khan, who exacted excessive taxes, had this qualification.

After eating for a while, Yi Nan asked: "May I ask King Wei Si, what advice do you have for this banquet?"

This sentence was said with gnashing of teeth. This King Si of Wei sent a message to Yi Nan's doorstep, which cost Yi Nan more than 3,000 casualties. How could he not gnashed his teeth?

"Brother Yi Nan, don't be surprised. In fact, Gu Shi has good intentions. I'm afraid that Brother Yi Nan won't believe it." Li Shan said with a smile: "I originally wanted to marry Brother Yi Nan..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Violent coughs erupted from both parties, interrupting Li Shan's shamelessly hypocritical words.

Yi Nan thought to himself, will I be married to you?

Isn't Tuli Khan miserable enough?

Just because of your sworn friendship with Jinlan, the Turkic tribes who dominate the grasslands have been defeated in consecutive battles for several years, forcing the Ashina clan to fight to the death... Besides, you let the Tuli Khan go last year, because you have Du Bu Khan, and I have no brothers, and my son is less than ten years old.

And Su Xu's cough is a reminder to Li Shan... Don't be too exaggerated. Your sworn marriage to Tuli Khan was approved by His Majesty, but your sworn marriage to Yi Nan is a ghost!

Li Shan seemed a little uninterested and said lazily: "Show it to him."

Su Xu nodded, took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it over. Yi Nan was startled for a moment, and wiped his greasy hands on his clothes again and again before taking it.

"what?"

After a while, Li Shan asked speechlessly: "You don't understand Chinese characters?"

Yi Nan seemed a little embarrassed, his head lowered and his voice was a little shaky when he spoke. A quarter of an hour later, Xue Yantuo's translator arrived. He was a middle-aged man with a Han-like appearance and a mixed-race appearance. There were many people like this in Lingzhou, Liangzhou, and Yanzhou.

"Meet His Highness King Wei Si."

Li Shan asked with great interest: "What tribe are you from?"

"In Xia'an Fenlin, he was born in Liangzhou and made a living as a nomad. After the Tang Dynasty regained Liangzhou, he built a caravan and traveled far into the grasslands to make a living as a trader."

"An?" Su Xu pondered for a moment and then said: "In the Later Han Dynasty, the prince of the Parthian Kingdom of the Western Regions came to China and took the name of the country, but settled in Luoyang... Liangzhou should be the descendant of the Anchi clan of Xianbei, right?"

"Yes." An Fenlin responded cautiously.

"Take a look."

An Fenlin sat next to Yi Nan, looked at the open memorial, and explained in a low voice.

The memorial was sent from Lingzhou on the seventh day of October. Zhang Zhongjian, deputy general manager of the Lingzhou Road March, Shi Tangjian, the chief of the march, and Guo Xiaoke, the general manager of Lingzhou, submitted a letter. Dubu Khan led more than 30,000 cavalry to cross the Yellow River. Xue Yantuo marched south in large numbers, with about 40,000 troops. up and down.

An Fenlin pointed to the approval document at the bottom of the memorial, which was a necessary means after the memorial arrived in Menxia Province, indicating the time when the memorial arrived, the ninth day of October.

Yi Nan blinked after hearing the interpreter's detailed explanation. He didn't quite understand Li Shan's intention... He and the Turks allied forces to capture Liangzhou. It was not surprising that the Tang army in Lingzhou, which was only separated from Liangzhou by a river, knew about it. This is in line with why Dubu Khan rushed in with light troops, but was ambushed and defeated by the Tang army.

Su Xu handed over another memorial with an expressionless face. An Fenlin only glanced at it and felt his mouth went dry.

This is a memorial sent from Yanzhou on the tenth day of October. The petitioners are Shi Su Shichang, the marching commander of Yanzhou Road, and Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou.

The content of the memorial was that the General Manager of the Marching Army sent Hu Yan, the governor of Yinzhou, to lead the cavalry southward, and Duan Decao, the general manager of Yanzhou, and Yang Ze, the governor of Suizhou, led the infantry to follow. However, Li Jing, the general manager of the Yanzhou Road Marching Army, had already led the cavalry to attack in the morning. Lingzhou.

After hearing this, Yi Nan was stunned. The Yanzhou Army actually went to Lingzhou on the tenth day of October, when he and Dubu Khan attacked Lanzhou?

After being stunned for a moment, Yi Nan came back to his senses and said, "Dubu Khan still has tens of thousands of troops in Lingzhou..."

"Although Gu and Dai Guogong Li Jing are not at odds with each other... no one in Chang'an or the army knows it at this time." Li Shan sneered: "But I have to admit that Li Yaoshi's military skills are better than Gu Wang."

"Ashna She'er led nearly 100,000 troops to attack Lingzhou for 20 days. Li Pharmacist remained indifferent in Yanzhou. It happened that after the Turks divided their troops and crossed the Yellow River, Li Pharmacist used almost all his cavalry to suddenly attack Lingzhou. state?"

"That guy has probably been watching the war in Lingzhou!"

"The Tang army will definitely win this battle."

Yi Nan's face became more and more gloomy, he shook his head and said: "That may not be the case..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yi Nan couldn't help but shut up because he saw Su Xu across from him took out the third memorial from his sleeve.

"This……"

Yi Nan's voice was trembling, and the smile on Li Shan's face became gentler.

"Brother Yi Nan, you should know that Gu Zhen is doing this for your own good."
