Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 286 Visit

With a clear shout, the ordinary carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, and Chai Shao, who drove the carriage himself, looked at Li Shan who came out with a smile.

After jumping off the carriage, Chai Shao stopped Li Shan from saluting, and said with a smile, "Today I came to pay my respects, and I am of the same generation, so there is no need to do so."

Li Shan was a little embarrassed. He was an aunt and nephew at that time, but now he has become a brother and sister.

Chai Shao helped Princess Pingyang get out of the car, "The countryside is interesting, why not go for a walk."

There was a deliberate sigh from behind the carriage, and Li Daoxuan turned around, "If I had known this, I should have gone to the door before Huairen's audience."

Li Shan stared in the past, I called you an uncle...I want to blind you!
Today Li Daoxuan was specially invited by Chai Shao and his wife to accompany him. He is a frequent visitor to Zhujiagou.

"By the way, it has been changed, and now it should be Sun Moon Lake." Li Daoxuan led the way ahead, passing diagonally through the village.

The diversion canal in the village is very interesting, meandering, and a group of people went upstream, seeing the silver light on the mountainside and the rising water mist.

Then turn south from the foot of Dongshan Mountain and stop by Suntan Lake.

Princess Pingyang's face was slightly pale, but her movements were not hindered. She was quite tall, with long and narrow eyes, and she had her own style between glances.

Standing on the hill, Chai Shao and his wife looked around and saw a deep gully dug out on the flat land in the south of the village.

Li Daoxuan pointed over there, "Huiren, haven't you connected the river yet?"

"It will be open tomorrow." Li Shanying said, "Build two small bridges in these two days."

"The entrance to the village is guarded, the entrance is narrow, there are mountains in the north and rivers in the south."

Chai Shao frowned and said, "It looks like an ordinary village, but it is actually a fortress."

Princess Pingyang glanced at Li Shan, "Is this Huairen preparing for danger in times of peace?"

"What did the third sister say?" Li Shan said casually, "Last year, there were bandits attacking the village. If it hadn't been handled properly, there would be a big mess, so I planned ahead."

Li Daoxuan interjected: "I've heard of it, it's said that refugees are coerced?"

"Indeed..."

Princess Pingyang and her husband looked at each other, feeling strange in their hearts. They are both generals who have fought for a long time, and their experience is much richer than that of Li Daoxuan.

Judging from the current defense strength of Sun Moon Lake, thousands of bandits are powerless to attack with all their strength, let alone the general Su Dingfang in the village.

Princess Pingyang couldn't help thinking about the solicitation that day but was politely rejected. Looking at the current defenses of the village, and thinking about the security outside the village, she seemed to have guessed something.

The handsome young man in front of him has a hidden worry, and it may even endanger his life. Combined with the rumors about Li Shan these days, Princess Pingyang guesses that it may be related to his life experience.

Now Li Shan has a great reputation in Chang'an, but no one knows his background. Some people speculate that he is a branch of the Li family in Longxi, some guess that he is a branch of the Li family in Zhaojun, and some speculate that he is a descendant of the former dignitary... But one thing is certain, They are definitely not children of poor families.

Princess Pingyang's guess is correct, but it's a bit wrong. The village's defense strength and the constant vigilance are all because of Su Dingfang and not Li Shan.

The reason why she refused to solicit was not as Princess Pingyang imagined, but because Li Shan didn't want to jump into the fire pit.

After a moment of silence, Princess Pingyang said softly: "Since we are called siblings, if there is something to do in the future, just a piece of paper will do."

Li Daoxuan was ignorant, but Li Shan's expression moved slightly. He knew that this was a promise from Princess Pingyang.

Li Shan didn't know whether Princess Pingyang would make such a choice after knowing the inside story, after all, Li Shimin's jewels came first... only willing to use Li Shan as a secret.

But at least, Princess Pingyang made a very important promise... Li Shan thought, in a sense, among the countless generals in the world, only Princess Pingyang is a pure general, not a political creature.

In the end, Li Shan didn't reply, only a deep salute.

A group of people walked down the hill, strolled along the south of the village, entered the village obliquely, and arrived at Li's house.

Li Shan had sent Zhu Shitou back to report the letter long ago, the middle door was already wide open, Mrs. Zhu stepped out quickly, and was about to salute, but was held by Princess Pingyang who had caught up a few steps.

"Originally we were friends of the same generation..." Princess Pingyang laughed and said, "Unexpectedly, Huairen has other ideas. Naturally, we can't accept the gift of Mrs. Zhu when we talk about friends like this."

Mrs. Zhu smiled heartily, "So, of course, there is no need to thank each other, it's just a matter of duty."

"Such a great favor..."

"Since you have this ability, you should help me!"

The two women are somewhat alike, both of them are straightforward, they don't go around the bush, and when they start talking, one sentence after another, it seems that they don't think about it... Since Li Shan traveled to this era, he basically had to go through his mind first before speaking.

Talking excitedly, Mrs. Zhu took Princess Pingyang's hand and walked in, glanced out of the corner of her eye, and asked in a daze, "When did King Huaiyang come?"

Only saw me with feelings... Li Daoxuan complained in his heart, but his mouth was respectful, "Daoxuan specially accompanied the third sister to the door today..."

Means, I've been here long ago, you haven't seen it all this time!

A group of people sat down in the main hall, Mrs. Zhou served tea, Xiaoman hid in Su's house today to accompany the old lady.

Princess Pingyang pulled Mrs. Zhou to sit down, and said with a smile: "Thanks for taking care of you that day, just sit down and talk."

From the first day she entered the Princess Mansion, Mrs. Zhou has been in charge of Princess Pingyang's daily life, not to mention medication, she is responsible for eating, drinking and even going to the toilet.

Mrs. Zhu just nodded casually, and Mrs. Zhou sat down cautiously.

Li Daoxuan, who was a little far away, muttered something to Chai Shao, causing Li Shan to stare at him... He also knew that his mother didn't like Zhou Shi very much.

The two families discussed, on the Li family's side, the Zhu family is the elder, the Zhou family is just a concubine, and the Chai Shao couple regard their wives as the most precious. In the end, the three women were in the main hall, and Li Shan, Chai Shao and Li Daoxuan went out.

"Did you really go to the Imperial Medical Office?" Chai Shao said, "The former Sui Imperial Medical Office was at its peak, but in this dynasty..."

Li Shan sighed: "But that day I boasted about Haikou in front of His Majesty..."

Li Shan briefly explained a few words, but he just wanted to cultivate a group of people through the institution of the Imperial Medical Administration.

"If we can train a group of people, it will be very promising." Li Daoxuan has seen the influence of the wounded and sick battalion on the soldiers in the army with his own eyes.

After listening to it for a while, Chai Shao was immediately very interested. Although the world is united, there are still foreign troubles. Just half a month ago, Tuyuhun invaded Fangzhou, and the governor of Fangzhou abandoned the city and fled. China intends to send Chai Shao to lead the troops to the west.

In fact, this is one of the rare battles in Chai Shao's life that he took charge of alone, and it is this battle that earned him the reputation of a famous general.

Chai Shao couldn't help thinking about borrowing someone... Li Shan was a little surprised, but it was exactly what he wanted.

Li Shan joined the Imperial Medical Office and spared no effort to train manpower, all because he wanted to promote the wounded barracks in the army, this was a deliberate direction.

In general, Li Shan hopes to imprint more or less what he learned in his previous life in this era... Maybe this is his unconscious move.

The reason is also very simple. The merits of the founding of the country are first discussed in terms of military exploits. Living a life is far worse than killing a life. The direction Li Shan chose is actually not a good choice in theory.

The three sat down in the study, and Chai Shao vaguely mentioned that he might lead troops to the west to help Hezhou, and Li Daoxuan was very envious... After he returned to Chang'an, he was often summoned by Li Yuan, and he was quite favored, but he was always left idle.

Li Shan pondered for a while, Chai Shao was later listed on the list of 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, so he should not be defeated... Finally, he decided to select people from the personal guards who came back from Shandong, headed by Zhao Da, and lend them to Chai Shao one use.

But it's really hard to say how much it can play... After all, Zhao Da and his group only know nursing, and basically have no experience in surgery.

As for nursing...Although it needs more careful care, Li Shan can carry out emergency intensive training in nursing, but the key is that nursing needs certain logistical support.

The logistics support requires the executor to have a certain status.Li Shan's position in Guantao was quite unique at the beginning, and he received almost unreserved support from Tian Liu'an, the general manager of Weizhou.

As for Zhao Da in the army, even with Chai Shao's support, he may not be able to make a difference.

It was just a trial, Li Shan called Zhao Da over with a smile, and said a few words, Chai Shao promised that if he could make meritorious service, he would be promoted to the army.

Surprisingly, Zhao Da refused without hesitation. Chai Shao was a little embarrassed, and then he remembered that this Zhuangzi was already under the name of Li Shan. Since he dared to mention this Zhuangzi, it is natural

its reason.

After hesitating for a while, Chai Shao still asked about Su Dingfang, and Li Shan laughed, thinking that this son-in-law captain is not handsome enough, but he thought it was pretty.

It doesn't count if you borrow someone, but you still think about borrowing a general.

Li Daoxuan chimed in, "Brother Su is the best choice in terms of bravery, cavalry and archery, and art of war. It is most suitable for clearing the way for the army..."

Li Daoxuan was sincere. He witnessed Su Dingfang's ability in the Shandong War.

Li Shan didn't think too much about Chai Shao's temptation, and he couldn't help feeling a little moved. He wasn't afraid that Su Dingfang would leave. Even if Princess Pingyang was about to take control of the Beiya Imperial Army, as long as Su Dingfang wasn't under Princess Pingyang's command, it would probably be fine.

And just because Su Dingfang was there, Zhao Da and his group could gain a foothold in the army, which would be very helpful and exemplary for Li Shan's promotion in the future.

Li Daoxuan had already taken the initiative to go out to call for someone next door. Su Dingfang was moved by hearing that he was either entering the princess mansion or under the command of Princess Pingyang... For him, living in Zhuangzili was too boring.

It's just that Su Dingfang was a little worried about Li Shan... He once heard Ling Jing's comment in private that this young man is not a safe man, and he can roll up three layers of waves on flat ground!

In case he goes out with Chai Shao, and Li Shan encounters some troublesome things, then...Su Dingfang's first thought would be the Pei clan of Hedong and Li Dewu.

Li Shan deliberately walked out, Li Daoxuan and Chai Shao turned a blind eye, Su Dingfang followed,
"It's okay, let's go out of the city with the army." Li Shanwen smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry here...you won't use secret means to assassinate, don't worry."

Although Su Dingfang has a stable temperament, he is only a young man in his 20s after all, and Li Shan does not want to be tied to him for a long time. This may not be a good thing for the two of them in the long run.
Su Dingfang hesitated for a while, and asked softly: "Will it hinder Huairen's plan?"

Li Shan shook his head slightly, in fact, in his plan, there was no plan for Princess Pingyang.

On the one hand, Li Shan didn't think about it well. The historical Princess Pingyang should not have survived. Li Yuan lost his beloved daughter, and at the same time lost the amulet to maintain himself, so that Li Shimin calmly launched a coup.

No ghost knows whether Li Shimin in this life can successfully mutiny up to the throne.

On the other hand, Li Shan subconsciously attempted to use Princess Pingyang as the last retreat.

Li Shan solemnly begged Chai Shao, and the latter patted his chest to promise... At this moment, Li Shan wondered in his heart whether Princess Pingyang would be in charge of the Beiya Forbidden Army as he expected.

While Chai Shao was delighted to be helped by a general named Su Dingfang, he couldn't help admiring his wife's sharp eyesight,
Princess Pingyang concluded that Su Dingfang would never agree with her, but she might be persuaded to go to war with her husband.

This means Li Shan's political stance.

Su Dingfang chatted happily with Chai Shao and Li Daoxuan, and Su Dingfang's words were frequently praised by the other two.

Li Shan, who was really bored listening to it, couldn't help thinking about it. He didn't have a deep impression of the country of Tuyuhun, and he didn't know how strong it was. Maybe Su Dingfang's achievements in destroying the country in this life were even higher.

It was finally determined that if Chai Shao led the army to go out, Su Dingfang and ten personal guards would be seconded from Sun Moon Lake. The personal guards were actually medical soldiers, and Su Dingfang would actually go alone.

Chai Shao was meticulous in his work, and asked about mounts, armor, weapons, etc. one by one, Li Shan suddenly pulled Li Daoxuan's sleeve, "Brother Daoxuan, that spear..."

After Li Daoxuan was stunned for a while, he put on an air of righteousness and confidence, "Isn't it Zengyu who is a brother?!"

Li Shan looked at this guy with a blank face... that day, he used this to boost morale, because he was captured by the Turks so that he had no horses to use!
The two argued for a while, Li Daoxuan said sincerely: "The merit of this lance, I will never forget it in this life, choose another lance for my brother..."

Li Shan smacked his lips. The problem is that the long lance is not his own either. The Fourth Uncle Zhu of Dongshan Temple has already asked it many times.

Just thinking about Dongshan Temple, the Zhu clan inside came out side by side with Princess Pingyang.

"Mother, third sister, the meal is ready."

"Let's set the meal." Mrs. Zhu nodded and said, "Go to Dongshan Temple later."

Li Shan was taken aback, what was he doing at Dongshan Temple?
Chai Shao on the side glanced at Li Daoxuan who was also dazed, and laughed softly: "I heard that the former Sui Nanyang princess practiced Buddhism in Dongshan Temple?"

"what.!"

Li Daoxuan was the one who was most surprised. He pulled his face and snorted, "No wonder Ren Ren knew Huai Ren early on!"

Li Shan was at a loss when he heard it, but he didn't ask any more questions after seeing Li Daoxuan's expression.

After a not-so-rich but innovative meal, Li Daoxuan got up to say goodbye, and went back to the city first. He only agreed that after a while, the Traumatology Department of the Imperial Medical Department would come to congratulate him in person.

Several people climbed the mountain slowly, and now, no more than two years ago, the road from the foot of the mountain to Dongshan Temple has been paved with red bricks and deliberately built into a winding road.

With the cool breeze in the mountains, the ancient pines on the top of the rocks, and the sound of the diversion canal not far away, Chai Shao was in a good mood, and he casually explained Li Shan's doubts just now.

"In the third year of Wude, Yuwen Renren went to Guanzhong to start voting. His Majesty has promised it from the daughter of the clan, that is, the Lord of Shouguang County."

"The Lord of Shouguang County is Daoxuan's direct sister."
