Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

In his previous life, Li Shan saw such a kind of calligraphy on the Internet, classical economics, which can also be called "utopian theology".

Because everything needs to be carried out in the most perfect state, and everyone's words and deeds must comply with rules or logic.

At the end of the day, judge others by yourself...I obey the rules, so everyone must obey the rules too.

This time, Li Shan discovered afterwards that he was also somewhat interested in this, because when he made decisions, he made choices based entirely on his own way of thinking, without considering what the person involved would think.

Just like classical economics cannot be verified in the market, there are always many people who break the rules and fail to follow logic for various bad reasons.

Li Shan did not consider the psychological endurance of Li Zhehui, the Yinan brother, so at the most critical moment, Li Zhehui made a choice that Li Shan did not expect.

According to the details negotiated between Li Shan and Yi Nan, Li Zhehui should take action only after seeing the smoke... Of course, Li Shan also knew that Li Zhehui would most likely not actually take action, and the possibility of running away was even greater.

The reason why this is so is because Li Shan wants to confirm that Yi Nan is really retreating, and Yi Nan is pushing forward, hoping to ensure that his brother can escape smoothly... When the smoke is lit, the Tang army will inevitably attack, and the target will only be the Turks. It would be much easier for Li Zehui to escape.

But Li Zhehui didn't think so. After receiving the notification from Yi Nan's guard at night, he thought about it all night, and finally decided to run away in advance with red eyes... The information Yi Nan sent to him did not cooperate with the Tang army's rebellion at all. Attack is just a withdrawal of troops.

Li Zhehui's choice was largely due to the fact that Xue Yantuo's more than ten thousand cavalry were placed ten miles east of Jingyang County. This was almost the easternmost side of the battle line... In other words, it was the area farthest from the retreat route. .

Once Xue Yantuo withdraws his troops, he will have to bypass the Turkic camps in Jingyang, Gaoling, and Yunyang, pass through from the north, and then follow the Jing River to the northwest. There will be many detours, and he will definitely be discovered... so Only Li Zehui would choose to withdraw his troops as soon as it gets dark.

For Xue Yantuo, this has more benefits than disadvantages. Li Zehui can bring back more troops to Yi Nan.

For Datang, it's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Li Shan can't help. At this time, it depends on whether Li Shimin, who has been out of armor for many years, can maintain the same level as before.

For the Turks and for Dub Khan, this was like mourning an heir.

At dawn, a large number of torches were lit on the east side of Jingyang County. Countless barbarians got on their horses, bypassed Jingyang County, passed through Gaoling County, and then bypassed the east side of Yunyang County... Riots were inevitable. began to spread.

Li Zhehui really only wanted to withdraw his troops and had no intention of sneak attack on the Turks. However, more than 10,000 cavalrymen and tens of thousands of horse hooves pounded the ground, roaring like heavy drums, making every Turk camp along the way. Frightened and uneasy, they all rioted, and everyone fell into shock and panic.

When it is still dark, thousands of cavalry suddenly appear around you. Anyone will fall into panic and will be at a loss.

When Dubu Khan, who was in the king's tent outside Gaoling County, was woken up by his guards, he stood still for a while and jumped up, gritting his teeth and cursed: "Yi Nan, Yi Nan!"

Dubu Khan reacted quickly. As Yi Nan's younger brother, Li Zehui couldn't withdraw his troops at will. It must have been Yi Nan's order.

In fact, Dub Khan also wanted to withdraw his troops. In fact, he had already begun to make preparations. In fact, he was planning to test the attack again after dawn, and announced his withdrawal without a chance... The final attack was also to ensure the safety of the withdrawal.

The reason is also very simple. Yesterday, tens of thousands of troops attacked all day long. The Tang army was tightly guarded, and the cavalry often raided from both sides. Dubu Khan did not take advantage at all. Even if he sent out partial troops to try to detour and harass, he could not achieve anything. Effect. The officer was sent again to lose his mind, but there was no news. It was not known whether he was detained or had his head chopped off. It was obvious that the King of Qin opposite him, now the Prince of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was determined to confront him head-on.

And yesterday afternoon, when the generals were looting grain and grass, Sanyuan County and Huayuan County, located north of Jingzhao, burned the grain and grass. At dusk, they encountered a large group of Tang troops near Tongguan County... Tongguan is located in Jingzhao, The border of Fangzhou is not far away. Although they are only infantry, they have a lot of troops, at least six to seven thousand soldiers.

Dubu Khan immediately judged that this should be the support force from Yanzhou Road going south. If he didn't leave, he might really be made dumplings by the Tang army.

But what Dubu Khan didn't expect was that Li Zhehui actually ran away before him!

"No, no!" Dubu Khan felt a chill on his body, and large drops of sweat broke out on his forehead, "Yi Nan... it's Li Huairen, it's Li Huairen!"

Although there are no clues or evidence, Dubu Khan is very suspicious that Xue Yantuo's retreat may have something to do with Li Shan.

If this is the case, then something is very wrong... This means that Yi Nan is likely to join forces with Li Shan.

Did Li Zhehui really retreat?

Could it be that he went west along the Jing River to join Yi Nan, or even join forces with the Tang army to block his retreat?

Dubu Khan felt a little dizzy for a moment, "Quickly, mobilize the troops..."

If Xue Yantuo really formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty at this time and attacked from both front and back, then the Jing River would be the place where his bones are buried. Dubu Khan already hated himself in his heart for not cutting off when he should.

After knowing that the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty had subsided, he should have chosen to retreat immediately, but he insisted on trying to gain some benefits and even forced the Tang Dynasty to bow its head, leading to the current situation.

Dub Khan's hands were trembling a little. He tried to calm down. Just when he was about to speak, his ears suddenly moved, as if he heard something.

The blood all over his body seemed to freeze at that moment. A moment later, the blood boiled and rushed into his brain. Dubu Khan took a few steps quickly and opened the curtain.

A strong cold wind blew in my face, mixed with large snowflakes. The first snow in the ninth year of Wude finally arrived.

But Dub Khan seemed not to feel the chill. He stared into the distance with his eyes wide open in despair.

The soldiers who were scattered by the cavalry were chopped down one by one. A dozen guards avoided the rain of arrows, but were overwhelmed by several cavalry coming from the side.

There were empty horses being driven on their backs, torches being thrown wantonly, and tents that had been set on fire and were emitting black smoke.

The shining light of the sword appeared from time to time in the back of the fire, and the horse's sword swept the tent down easily, and then drove the war horse to trample on it without mercy.

The firelight reflected the fluttering snowflakes in the sky, and wailing, crying and death appeared everywhere.

Dubu Khan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The Tang army was so fast that they had already killed him in front of him.
