Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 379
Li Shancai didn't bother to take care of this kind of nonsense, let alone Liu Shirang with a green hat on his head, how could he persuade him?
What's more, Liu Shirang and Li Shenfu have deep qualifications in Hedong Road, and Li Shan is not qualified to mediate from them.
What is on Li Shan's mind now is that the Turks are about to go south, or have already gone south.

When Li Shan interrupted the conversation and told the news that tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers went south to attack Shuozhou, he found that Liu Shirang's face was livid and he glared at himself.

Li Shan just felt baffled, and then turned his head to look, Li Shenfu was stroking his beard and smiling.

"Huiren rushed to Nao County for state affairs, and I thank you here." Li Shenfu smiled and said: "Hedong Road has gathered [-] elites to prepare for the Turkic invasion."

"By the way, His Majesty Hou De of Yiyang County has instructed you to manage Mayi, should you stop moving forward?"

Li Shenfu sneered sadly and said: "I heard that Yiyang County Marquis and Yuan Guogong had an irresistible relationship back then?"

Stopping, Yuan Guogong Shi Wanbao... These two words made Li Shanxin vigilant.

At this moment, at that moment, at that moment, Shi Wanbao paused, causing Liu Heitai to destroy [-] elite Tang troops and capture Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan.

And Liu Shirang will do the same?
Gao Manzheng from Mayi and Li Gaoqian from Yanmen must be looking forward to it at this time.

Li Shan shook his head slightly, it was different...Last year it was largely caused by the seizure of the heir, but this time it had nothing to do with the seizure of the heir.

Liu Shirang suddenly got up, and said with a sneer, "It's nothing to worry about, and the governor of the state is bothered!"

The implication is that you Li Shenfu is the governor of Bingzhou, but you can't manage Shuozhou and Daizhou. What's the matter with you?

Li Shenfu also stood up, and sternly shouted: "This king was ordered by His Majesty to appoint the governor of Bingzhou. Now there is no military commander in Hebei Road, and no deputy governor. Can this king not take care of it?!"

"That's right, I can't control it!"

Well, the two started to tear up again, Li Shan also heard the smell, thought for a while and went out, grabbed Liu Shirang's soldiers and asked a few words.

After roughly figuring it out, Li Shan could only let out a long sigh. He insisted on putting the vengeful couple in Hedong, and the rights and responsibilities were unclear, and it was difficult to distinguish between top and bottom. Is this Li Yuan's method?

In recent years, the Turks have often invaded Hedong by breaking through the Yanmen Gate, so every year the Hedong Road will gather soldiers. There is no way, the Turks often choose to attack after the autumn harvest or at the time of the autumn harvest.

This year, because Gao Manzheng voted Shuozhou to vote for the Tang Dynasty, and there was a great victory in Mayi, it was a little late to gather the government soldiers. If the saint Li Yuan did not send the prince, Qi Wang, and Qin Wang out of Beijing, then Li Shenfu, the governor of Bingzhou, was the nominal Hedong Dao number one.

In this case, it makes sense for Li Shenfu to go north.

Why go north?

It's nothing more than Li Shenfu not wanting to see Liu Shirang, who has a grudge with him, make contributions again. He has already achieved a great victory in Mayi. If he can make contributions to repel Yuan Junzhang again this time, Liu Shirang is likely to become the re-established Daizhou Governor's Office This is not only the right to share the Li talisman, but also the status of being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Li talisman.

Therefore, Li Shenfu, in the name of the governor of Bingzhou, led the troops north to Daizhou. Anyway, there is no governor of Daizhou yet.

But Nao County is just in the south of Daizhou, and it is stuck on the road. Liu Shirang, who is stationed here, won't allow it... The sage gave me the responsibility of managing Mayi. What's the matter with you, Li Shenfu?

For this reason, the two went from quarreling to fighting, and even small-scale conflicts occurred between the two Tang armies.

Li Shan rubbed his teeth, knowing that this matter is a bit difficult... At the same time, he also knew why Liu Shirang glared at him after he told the news that tens of thousands of Turks were going south.

Tens of thousands of Turks went south, and together with Yuan Junzhang, it was difficult for Gao Manzheng to hold Mayi. Li Gaoqian and Liu Shirang had to send troops to help. There are enough reasons to station in Nao County to cover Xinzhou and Taiyuan Prefectures.

Moreover, Li Shan also vaguely speculated that before Yuan Xiaozheng arrived in Dai County, he quickly found out that Yuan Junzhang would go south to attack Mayi again this year. He wrote a letter to inform Li Gaoqian and Liu Shirang of this news...and Li Shen Why does Fu know?
Logically speaking, it is already the beginning of October, and Yuan Junzhang returned from a disastrous defeat more than a month ago, so he should not raise his troops again in a short time... But Li Shenfu suddenly led the troops northward, and it is very likely that he got a certain information.

Who would have informed Li Shenfu?

Li Shan smiled bitterly, and Liu Shi let the old man naturally think that it was either me or Li Gaoqian...but he rushed to Nao County suddenly to report the military situation.

Now Liu Shirang is [-]% sure that I told Li Shenfu secretly.

What a mess!

Li Shan really had a big head, hesitantly lingered at the door for a long time, and heard that there was no movement inside... Both of them walked in after their mouths were parched.

"Turks go south, what can we do?"

"The Marquis of Yiyang County was ordered to manage Mayi, so naturally he sent troops to Shuozhou immediately." Li Shenfu said decisively: "Nao County is the northern gateway of Xinzhou and Taiyuan Prefecture, and the king led the troops to station here!"

Liu Shirang said with a sneer: "I have ordered Li Gaoqian, the general guard of Yanmen, to lead his troops out of the fortress, and to fight against Gao Manzheng. There will be no mistakes!"

Li Shenfu was about to refute it, Li Shan stepped forward suddenly, his face turned pale, "Mr. Jiangxia has already sent troops?!"

"That's right." Seeing Li Shan's serious expression, Liu Shirang sneered and said, "It's already October, and the Turks won't send troops..."

Li Shan interrupted sharply: "Is it the Yiyang County Marquis who is deaf, or is it just a slip of the tongue?!"

"Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry followed Yuan Junzhang to Shuozhou!"

"The Marquis of Yiyang County thinks that the Duke of Jiangxia's thousands of troops can defeat the Turks?!"

Li Shan was so angry that he really thought I had a good temper!

"The opening chapter of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" clearly states that the soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival must be observed."

"It's your turn to teach the old man such a yellow-mouthed child?!" Liu Shirang frowned, and angrily said: "Nowadays, Turkic civil strife, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan are fighting each other, how could they send heavy troops in October?!"

Liu Shirang is not stupid. He only dismissed the news sent by Li Shan after he inquired about the internal situation of the Turks.

Li Shenfu rolled his eyes, and asked softly, "How did Huairen know that tens of thousands of Turks went south?"

"It's inconvenient to tell you the inside story." Li Shan said coldly: "The two leaders, Ashina Yugu, the son of Jieli Khan, and Ashina Yushe, the third son of Luo Khan."

Liu Shirang stared at Li Shan suspiciously, even the leading generals knew so clearly, did the Turks really go south in a big way?
How did Li Shan know?
Li Shan's face was as cold as frost, and he stared at Liu Shirang for a long time, "The power and position are alluring, not only did Liu Gong's eyes get blurred..."

Before Liu Shirang could get angry, Li Shan turned around and left.

The situation has gotten out of control... Li Shan's continued stay in Nao County is meaningless, he can't persuade Li Shenfu to stop, and he can't persuade Liu Shirang to lead the army to the north immediately. Now he can only rush back to Dai County and send personal guards at the same time He rushed to Yanmen to go out of the fortress overnight and informed Li Gaoqian.

In the study, Ma Zhou kicked the stool over, kicked it twice violently, and cursed: "Idiots, a bunch of idiots!"

In addition to Li Shan, there were Du Xiao, the personal guard of Princess Pingyang, Wang Junhao, the head of Li Shan's personal guard, and Kan Leng who came not long ago.

Although Du Xiao is only a personal guard, he has been in the army for many years and has been in Hedong for many years. He knows the relationship between people very well, and quickly judged that the key lies in Yanmen.

The Turks went south in a big way. If Liu Shirang and Li Shen cooperated seamlessly, then Liu Shirang and Li Gaoqian would send troops at the same time, with about ten thousand elites. Be cautious and step by step. .

Well, if Yuan Junzhang is unable to conquer Mayi in a short time, at least he will not lose this battle... It is very likely that Mayi, an important military stronghold, will be preserved.

But now, Li Gaoqian is out of the fortress alone, and Liu Shirang and Li Shenfu are still arguing in Nao County... Ma Yi can't count on it, and it's hard to say whether Li Gaoqian can keep his troops and return to Yanmen.

So, now, Yanmen is empty... If the Turks attack, it is likely to be breached.

"You don't need to go." Li Shan put down his pen, stuffed the letter into an envelope and handed it to Du Xiao, "You set off for Beijing immediately and hand the letter to Princess Pingyang."

It's hard to say whether I can escape this catastrophe... But at least, I, Li Shan, will not take the blame for this.

Li Shan wrote clearly in the letter that first, Yuan Xiaozheng intends to vote for the Tang Dynasty and maintain the trade routes; Attack Yanmen, and Liu Shirang easily let Yanmen guard Li Gao move out of the army. Third, Li Shenfu and Liu Shirang were talking nonsense in Nao County, and would rather stalemate than take a step back, resulting in the emptiness of Yanmen.

Li Shan mentioned at the end of the letter, "Your Majesty treats you with a vulgar body. After you close the pen, you will set off immediately to go to Yanmen with your personal guards and young adults. If there is something you can't bear to say, please ask Princess Pingyang to take care of my mother." .”

Ma Zhou glanced at Li Shan, said so pitifully, do you really want to go to Yanmen?

Li Shan took a deep breath and looked back at Kan Leng, "Brother Kan, in terms of leading the army, you are the leader here, please help me."

Wang Junhao is sharp in the battle, and he is careful, but he is not good at leading the army... After counting the people around him, Kan Leng, who was as famous as Wang Xiongdan in the Jianghuai Army back then, was the best candidate.

Kan Leng bowed to the ground, and said with emotion: "Li Langjun first helped the adoptive father, and then recommended his subordinates to accompany the army to the west, and urged your majesty to save the adoptive father from danger, it is his duty."

Li Shan pulled up Kan Leng, "Order Qi's personal guards and order He Lou Shanzhu and He Lou Xingshu's ancestors and grandchildren to gather the registered soldiers and the young and strong in the village, and set off immediately to go to Yanmen."

Wang Junhao on the side responded loudly, turned and went out, but Ma Zhou hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Huiren, why don't you sit in Dai County..."

"When will Liu Shirang go north to Yanmen, do you know?" Li Shan said coldly: "Brother Bin Wang should know how much effort a certain person has spent here, and how he can tolerate being wiped out like this!"

"The weak brigade resists the strong army. Although there is the Yanmen Pass, if someone retreats to the rear, the morale of the army will plummet."

Ma Zhou sighed. If Li Shan was in Dai County, once Yanmen was breached, no matter whether he went east or south, he would still have a chance to escape, but if he was in Yanmen...it would be unreasonable.

But Li Shan has always been a person who can grit his teeth at critical moments and is ruthless. Last year outside Liting County, he planned a counterattack in a desperate situation. Now that he is not in a desperate situation, how can he retreat lightly!
Taking down the long knife from the wall and hanging it by his waist, Li Shan strode out of the study with hatred and cruelty in his eyes.

The good situation is likely to be ruined because of the enmity between Li Shenfu and Liu Shirang.

But if he can grit his teeth and survive this time, the general Shi Tiangao will let the birds fly, and the sea will be as wide as the fish!
The sky was bright, and a trace of fish belly flashed at the intersection of the sky. Li Shan, who was a little embarrassed, appeared in Yanmen. It was still too difficult for him to chase the horse at night. He fell off the horse three times in one night. If it weren't for Wang Junhao, Zhao Da and others Be careful, maybe you will get hurt.

In addition to the [-] personal guards behind Li Shan, there are also [-] young and strong government soldiers called urgently. He Lou Shanzhu promised to mobilize at least [-] young and strong to rush to Yanmen... Li Shan went to the fields to snatch the harvest in person more than a month ago The performance has paid off handsomely at the moment.

Kan Leng, who arrived earlier, had already taken over the defense of Yanmen, counting soldiers, ordnance, and defense equipment.

"The leaders of Jiangxia County are all elites. Those who stay behind are long history, recorders, and cavalry soldiers." Kan Ling said loudly, "There are five hundred soldiers left behind, and three hundred young men."

Li Shan was not good at specific military commands in his past and present lives, so he said bluntly: "Before Liu Shirang led the troops to Yanmen, Brother Kan was in charge. Zhu Bake returned to the customs?"

Zhu Ba set out from Nao County and went straight out of Yanmen to find Li Gaoqian... This General Zuo Wuwei had no idea that he was facing tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry.

Li Shan thought in his heart that if Li Gaoqian ran fast, or survived with a short tail, and could keep most of his troops back to Yanmen, then it would be easy to deal with it... Even if Yuan Junzhang occupies Mayi, the Turks will borrow next year Daomai had at least half a year to attack Yanmen himself.

Half a year, whether it is long or short, some of my own methods may be able to play a role.

However, at this moment, Li Gaoqian, who was still sleeping, was awakened by loud noises in the camp sixty miles away from Yanmen.

"what happened?!"

"Jungong, Jungong!" The head of the guard rushed in, "The enemy is attacking!"

Li Gaoqian was a little surprised, "That guy Yuan Junzhang didn't go to attack Ma Yi, but turned around and attacked me?"

"Aren't you afraid that Gao Manzheng will poke his ass from behind?!"

In the great victory in Mayi more than a month ago, Yuan Junzhang couldn't attack Mayi for a long time, so he turned around and attacked Li Gaoqian. As a result, he was stabbed in the ass by Liu Shirang and Gao Manzheng, and he was defeated.

"It's not Yuan Junzhang!" The guard was sweating profusely, "It's Turkic, it's Turkic!"

"Whenever there is a big event, there is calmness." Li Gaoqian cursed, "What's so strange about that?"

Yuan Junzhang is attached to the Turks, and this time he will go south, he must have the help of the Turks, but now it is October, how much troops can the Turks send.

Li Gaoqian strode out of the camp, got on his horse, straightened his body, and looked into the distance. The next moment, his body became stiff.

Outside the gate of the camp, the cavalry was overwhelmingly crowded, and Li Gaoqian was also a veteran general. He knew at a glance that there were at least ten thousand cavalry.

Li Gaoqian's body swayed on the horse, and he was on the verge of falling. This time he led a large army out of the fortress, including [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and more than [-] civilians.

But this time was different from the last time. Li Gaoqian didn't bring many civilians with him, and he didn't take every step of the way. The camp was not stable... In other words, the possibility of being breached by the Turks was very high.

Li Gaoqian's judgment was very accurate. In just two quarters of an hour, the front of the barracks was on the verge of collapse. Countless Turkic cavalry roared past with scimitars in their hands, or bent bows and arrows. The cavalry pointed straight at the banner like sharp arrows.

If Li Gaoqian could resist desperately and mobilize the cavalry from the left and right to attack, he might be able to temporarily stabilize his position.

But what he chose was to abandon the army and flee.

The huge noise resounded throughout the camp, and countless people saw Li Gaoqian and hundreds of guards fleeing eastward in embarrassment, and the high banner fell feebly.

Tang Jun completely collapsed.
