Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 468

Sitting at the top, Li Shan stared at the seven or eight soldiers who were tied up with no expression on his face. He was very annoyed, but he was also weighing how to deal with this matter today.

It has been three days since Yugu set up an attack on Yanmen Pass, and more than a thousand young men and women of the Han family died under the city wall. The defenders were not only not discouraged, but even more indignant.

Because of Li Shan's strict order not to go to battle, there were complaints and turmoil in the army, but they were still able to hold on, but the guards who came with Su Dingfang couldn't help it. General, invincible, but now he has to watch the Hu people kill and humiliate in front of his eyes... The perception of Li Shan has undergone a great change.

After three days of accumulation of such emotions, the Turkic people did something heinous. The people of Yunzhou refused to climb to their deaths even if they were threatened. Cut a child.

The soldiers at the top of the city couldn't bear it any longer. In the excitement of the crowd, Sun Erlang, the leader of Su Dingfang's personal guard, led his men down to the city with a rope, killed the Turkic people who were caught off guard with knives, and rescued more than a dozen young children.

This action greatly boosted the morale of the army and also frustrated the morale of the Turks, but in the end he disobeyed the military order. Su Dingfang ordered the beheading on the spot to show the public. Xue Zhong and Guo Pu persuaded him to tie up the seven or eight soldiers led by Li Shan.

How did Li Shanneng get away with it?
I was also panicking in my heart, seeing Sun Erlang and the others killing happily from the top of the city, I wished I could clap my hands and make friends!
But no matter what dynasty or generation, if you disobeyed military orders during wartime, and as the chief general, you should not be punished, you will inevitably lose authority in the future and cause chaos in the army.

How to deal with it is really a difficult problem.

Su Dingfang took a step forward, "If you don't obey the military order, you should behead it as a public display to frighten the army."

From Su Dingfang's point of view, Li Shanchi's doubts and difficulties are largely due to the fact that the leaders are all his personal guards.

Xue Zhong on the side was a fine man, spying on Li Shan's expression, he said softly: "Although he didn't obey the military order, but beheaded 18 Turks, rescued [-] young children, boosted the morale of the army, and the merits and demerits may be offset."

"The merits are not covered up, but the deeds are not worth the merits." Su Dingfang sternly said: "If there is no strict order, why march?!"

"Brother Dingfang really has the legacy of Xiliu..." Li Shan forced a smile, and Zhao Da who was beside him suddenly leaned over to remind him.

Li Shan looked up, and the figure of He Lou Xingshu appeared outside the door.

Zhao Da introduced He Lou Xingshu, who was busy in the world, and the latter hurried to Li Shan's side, whispering in his ear.

Li Shan's expression was indifferent, his eyes were cold, and he asked in a low voice from time to time... Unexpectedly, it was the rate of association!

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was waiting silently.

For the possible situation, Li Shan was fully prepared. After thinking for a long time, he looked at Su Dingfang, "I heard that Li Sanlang is also here this time?"

Su Dingfang nodded, "Also in the guard."

Li Shan got up slowly, paced back and forth, his eyes flickered, hesitating, apparently making a decision.

Want to take a chance?
In fact, I have taken many risks.

But before, there were always such or other unavoidable reasons or reasons. Liting attacked at night, that was forced into a desperate situation, and negotiating with Ashinasheer before the battle, that was surrounded by thousands of troops.

The great victory in Wei County meant that he could never return to Chang'an with a plain image and forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender. It meant that Pei Shiju might fall into trouble after he could not accept the failure.

But this time, it is not necessary.

Inadvertently, Li Shan's gaze collided with a resentful gaze. It was Sun Erlang who was still tied and kneeling on the ground... I went to the city today, beheaded four enemies, and returned with two children in my arms. The wound has not yet been bandaged, and the falling blood drops have dyed the bluestone slab purple.

Feeling a little wet in his palms, Li Shan suddenly looked away, his mind was empty, he was examining his heart... Hundreds or even thousands of lives dissipated in front of him, but he was hesitating...

I seem to have changed...

Disregard for life is the surface of a doctor's disguise.

In this world, except for the relatives of the deceased, no one is more painful than a doctor for the loss of a life, and no one is more delighted than a doctor for the return of a life.

The right hand behind his back kept clenching into a fist, and then stretched slowly... Li Shan, with empty eyes, turned his back to the crowd, thinking in his heart instead of hesitating, Yuan Junzhang, Liu Shirang, the association rate...

Although Yuan Junzhang changed the banner of the whole army, he definitely did not dare to take any action.

The association led the army to approach Mayi, but it was impossible to start a war hastily. More importantly, the association led the army to push, and secretly set up a backing for Yugu. This proves that Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan may have negotiated a peace ... at least temporarily.

Although the two khans are still fighting openly and secretly, and although the rate of association is definitely not in line with Yugu's setting, the only one who can really be used... is Liu Shirang.

There is a chance, although it is not big, but it can also make a vote!
Li Shan beckoned He Lou Xingshu to approach, and whispered a few words, but the latter nodded from time to time, with a wonderful look on his face.

"Take Li Sanlang with you."

"Yes."

The sound of hurried footsteps gradually faded away, Li Shan turned around slowly, his eyes fell on Sun Erlang, and he said softly: "Untie."

Su Dingfang frowned, wanted to say something but stopped, and Guo Pu brought a few personal guards to untie Sun Erlang and others.

"Disobeying military orders is an unforgivable crime." Li Shan said calmly, "But you will definitely not accept it, so you can tell us what you want."

Sun Erlang glanced at Su Dingfang, who was silent, and raised his voice: "It's only five thousand horsemen, why do you retreat and not fight, so that you show off your power and torture and kill young children..."

"Why don't you fight?" Li Shan interrupted: "There are five thousand Turkic cavalry, but there are still nearly five thousand cavalry behind him, looking west at Mayi and east at Yanmen."

Xue Zhong's face changed drastically, "The Turks are going to attack Mayi?"

"No." Li Shan said bluntly: "In the first lunar month, the grassland is still frozen, the grass is withered and the horses are thin, so we will not start a war rashly. Yugu set up an attack on Yanmen Pass just for a certain reason."

"If we go to war, can we be sure of victory?" Li Shan continued to ask: "Up and down Yanmen, counting the personal guards, there are more than a thousand cavalry, and the governor of the prefecture Rencheng Wang has sent a letter to send a general to lead a thousand cavalry to help, a total of two Thousand cavalry, sure of victory?"

Sun Erlang thought for a while, "If General Zhonglang leads the army, even if it is difficult to win, he will not be defeated."

"and then?"

Sun Erlang was stunned, "At least I can save..."

"Rescue?" Li Shan snorted, "Not to mention the Turkic cavalry hidden behind, but the [-] Turkic cavalry outside the Great Wall, if they can't be defeated...every Turkic is good at equestrian skills, they can gather and disperse freely, they are good at riding and shooting, and they can move faster. Like thunder!"

"Thousands of people, are you sure to introduce them to Guanzhong?"

"If the Turks take the opportunity to attack, should the city gate be closed or not?"

"If it is not closed, the Turks will break through the barrier. If it is closed, corpses will be everywhere."

A series of questions made Sun Erlang stunned, unable to utter a word.

After a moment of silence, Li Shan raised his hand and said, "Get up."

Sun Erlang and others knelt down from being tied up to getting up when they were untied, and they were still speechless when they were asked during the process. They were already very frustrated, so Li Shan talked eloquently.
