Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 416

Shooting a fur hat without hurting anyone. Such a sharp shot is very rare even among Turkic people who are good at archery. A middle-aged man among the Turkic cavalry came out and pointed at Liu Shirang who was holding a big bow and looked at him awe-inspiringly, " This person is Liu Shirang."

"He was at Yanmen Pass a few months ago?" A Turkic youth said with a smile, "I heard that he was also in Hedong last year..."

The middle-aged man's face was a little ugly, and he snorted, "It's not like you don't know that you are aggressively plundering my tribe!"

The young man sighed: "If Shi Bobi hadn't returned, I'm afraid his appearance will be even more noisy."

Dubi is the name of Jieli Khan, the lord of the Eastern Turks today, and Shibobi refers to the Tuli Khan who is now competing with Jieli Khan.

Hundreds of Turkic cavalry came to invade, Liu Shirang shot at each other in front of the formation, showing his military might, and returned on horseback. Many of the personal guards struck their shields with swords and congratulated them with the sound of golden spears.

Cui Xin glanced at Li Shan who remained silent, raised the sword at his waist and hit the shield... Li Shan's eyelids moved, but he still remained silent.

In essence, Li Shan never trusted anyone easily. Although Liu Shirang made a sharp shot before the battle, logically speaking, he should not have secretly communicated with the Turks.

But doubts still linger in Li Shan's mind. The sage ordered Yuan Junzhang to be appeased. Cui Xin did not delay all the way. He set off for Mayi on the third day after arriving in Yanmen. How did the news leak out?
It can't be a coincidence, I've never heard that the Turks would send troops in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it's even more impossible to come to Mayi, which was looted by them just now, it must have accurate information before they suddenly appeared, in order to stop Mr. Yuan Zhang cast Tang.

Yuan Junzhang has been attached to Turkic for many years. Although the Tang envoy was present, he still went to visit quickly. Li Shan watched this scene and glanced at Liu Shirang out of the corner of his eye... Cui Xin was holding the old man's hand to comfort him.

Where did the Turkic intelligence come from?
Not many people in Hedong know about recruiting Yuan Junzhang. It is impossible for Li Daoxuan, Xue Zhong and others, and there is no need for Li Shenfu and Li Gaoqian... They didn't know in advance that Liu Shirang would come to Mayi, and secretly informed the Turkic general You and Cui Xin are trapped in Mayi?
This is unlikely.

After much deliberation, Li Shan decided that Liu Shirang was the most likely. He asked in a low voice, "From Yunzhou south to Mayi, the fast horse gallops... Is there time?"

Du Xiao on the side hesitated, "If the letter was delivered yesterday, it should arrive today."

Li Shan tightened his hand holding the saber, and ordered in a low voice: "Let Fan Shiyi go in person and keep an eye on Liu Shirang!"

Fan Shiyi was a scout in the army, and he had a telescope, an artifact of the times, so it was not difficult to keep an eye on Liu Shirang.

"Guantao County Lord, Cui Gong." Yuan Junzhang came quickly and dismounted nearby, "Turk... wants to have a story with the Tang envoy."

Du Xiao whispered: "There should be no Turkic army."

Li Shan nodded, he also understood the truth, the Turks came here to prevent Yuan Junzhang from defecting to the Tang Dynasty, so there was no need to send an army in the cold winter months.

Seeing from a distance that the Turkic cavalry had retreated, leaving only a dozen or so cavalry behind, Li Shan nodded slightly, got on his horse, glanced sideways, and suddenly said, "Let's go together, Mr. Liu."

Cui Xin nodded appreciatively, and corrected if he knew a mistake, there is nothing good about it.

Hey, Cui Xin really doesn't understand his future son-in-law... Li Shan is now even more suspicious of Liu Shirang, how dare he let him stay.

Liu Shirang has a lot of old troops in Daizhou and Shuozhou. If he arrived in Mayi yesterday, he would find an opportunity to send the news. If this Turkic cavalry came south from Yunzhou, they would indeed be in time... Li Shan thought about it, only this possibility.

Of course, there is another possibility... If someone else secretly communicated with the Turks, and the Turkic cavalry suddenly appeared today, Liu Shirang tried to clear up his suspicions.

Li Shan's mind is a bit confused, could it be Li Shenfu and Li Gaoqian?
They do have this motive.

But that day I announced that Liu Shirang was accompanying me when I set off. After that, Li Daoxuan took over Yanmen Pass and cut off entry and exit. How did Li Shenfu and Li Gaoqian deliver the letter?
From Daizhou to Yunzhou, there is not only Yanmenguan. There are always trails in the mountains... But it is impossible to bring horses and go to Yunzhou to report the letter. Will there be time?

After much deliberation, Liu Shirang's suspicion is the biggest.

Slowing down the speed of the horse, Li Shan narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people opposite him. One was a little older with a dark complexion and a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the other was a little younger with raised eyebrows, staring at Liu Shirang who had just shown off his power.

"I don't know which noble person it is?" Li Shan smiled and cupped his hands, "I also ask Mr. Yuan to introduce you."

Hearing the word "Yuan Gong" instead of "Rui Guogong", Yuan Junzhang was very impressed by Li Shan's kindness, and introduced: "This..."

The middle-aged Turkic man interrupted with a smile, and introduced himself: "The Han people call someone Yu Sheshe."

Yu Sheshe looked at the three people in front of him with interest. Yuan Junzhang had already mentioned that one was Liu Shirang whom he knew, and the other was dressed in long sleeves. He should be the envoy sent by the Tang Emperor... and this The acting county magistrate walked ahead.

Oh, it turned out that it was Yu Sheshe, the third son of Chuluo Khan, and Ashinasheer, who had dealt with him before, was his elder brother. I also heard the name of my step."

After the sudden death of Chuluo Khan, Jieli Khan came to power, and Yu Sheshe was first dispatched to the northern part of Xiazhou, where he supervised the army of Liang Shidu, and then came to Shuozhou, where he supervised the army, Yuan Junzhang. Gao Manzheng expelled the Turks half a year ago. Yu She pretended to be defeated... It is in line with her status to interfere with the recruitment matter.

However, Li Shan remembered that Yuan Xiaozheng mentioned once that Yu Sheshe's position was different from Ashinasheer's. He was at odds with Jieli Khan and had an excellent relationship with Tuli Khan.

All kinds of information flashed through his mind, and Li Shan looked at the young man.

"Han people call a certain association rate."

Li Shan was sure, "It turns out that after Shibi Khan, I have admired him for a long time."

The association rate is Shibi Khan's youngest son, in other words, he is the younger brother of Tuli Khan... Such a person is naturally the direct descendant of Tuli Khan.

Feeling the wetness in his hands, Li Shan laughed at himself in his heart... Just now he reminded himself to be calm in every big event!
But there is no way, if the people who come are attached to Jieli Khan... [-]% of them will dedicate themselves to Yugushe, and the two in front of them are both good friends with Tuli Khan, this possibility is much smaller .

The association rate asked impatiently: "Who are you?"

"The next county magistrate, Li Shan." Li Shan said with a smile, "Could it be that you haven't heard the name of the county magistrate of Guantao?"

"Hahaha..." Yu Sheshe gave a long laugh, crossed his legs, stepped forward on the horse, reached out to hold the right hand that Li Shan gave in time, "So it's Li Huairen!"

"Could it be brother She'er who told you?" Li Shan raised his hand, "We met each other last year, and hit it off right away, and I miss you till now!"

"Hahaha, the second brother praises Chen Ping's wisdom and wisdom."

"I am famous in Shandong, thanks to brother Sheer's words." Li Shan muttered in his heart, this man spoke Chinese fluently, and he even knew allusions... In fact, among the upper Turkic nobles, it was not those who were familiar with classics and history. Case.

"Hahaha, shouldn't you thank the other person?" Yu Sheshe laughed and laughed, "Second brother often talks about it, but that person is more concerned about his step."

Li Shan knew that what the other party was talking about was the establishment of the Valley of Desire... This is why Li Shan was honest about his identity at the first time, the enemy of the enemy can be a friend.

The rest of the people were a little speechless... just watching the conversation between these two people, their eyebrows were beaming.

Liu Shirang let out a long breath, and he still has the face to suspect that I have secretly communicated with the Turks... Listen, he has become brothers and sisters with the Ashina people!
