Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 479 Please see the old friend
The north wind was gradually picking up, rolling snowflakes and raging across the vast wilderness. The leader of the association listened to the subordinate's report in a daze, and murmured to himself, "He actually did it, really did it..."

Capture him again, ask for something... Although the association led the army to the west, he didn't think Li Shan could really succeed. was crushed inside.

It is true that the Turkic cavalry is far inferior to the well-equipped Tang cavalry in charging, but they will always run if they can't beat them. The ability to gather and disperse freely is the advantage of the Turkic people.

As a result, the Tang army pursued them all night in the wind and snow, and chased them all the way to Mayi, capturing Yugushe alive... Yugushe who heard the news couldn't believe it. Two hours passed, and the defeated soldiers gathered were only three Four hundred rides.

There was a faint call from a distance, and the leader of the association watched Yuan Junzhang's troops move eastward with a blank expression to meet the thousands of Tang cavalry who came.

Dozens of cavalry headed by Yuan Junzhang rushed their horses straight into the Tang Army formation without hesitation. After a while, the formation turned northward, from the inside to the outside, and dozens of generals rushed out of the formation. One person was riding a pure black tall horse. appeared in front of the battle.

From such a distance, the association rate couldn't be seen clearly, but he didn't need to look again, he seemed to be able to see that young and handsome face clearly through the fierce north wind mixed with snowflakes, and he could even see that face as if A gentle smile that never fades away.

The eyes of the association rate are complicated and unspeakable. He is delighted that Yugu Shi missed and was captured, but at the same time, he also remembered what his brother Tuli Khan mentioned in private... This person is good at calculating and stirring up emotions, and he will be the enemy of the clan in the future .

It is not surprising that Turkhan Khan can see through all this. Regarding his attitude towards Turks and inciting Turks' internal strife, Li Shan used conspiracy from the beginning to the end, and analyzed everything clearly... For the sake of profit, For the sake of power, Tuli Khan had to follow Li Shan's guidance all the way.

The confrontation in the wind and snow for a long time, the leader of the association sighed, and waved his hands to prepare to retreat. Although Yuan Junzhang and Tang Jun did not join forces, their total strength was over [-]. Even the cavalry had thousands of cavalry, and he had only [-] cavalry under his command. It is inevitable, and there will be no blame for it.

In the final analysis, Yugu set up his own death, and I will not bear the blame.

Watching the Turkic army retreat northward, Yuan Junzhang breathed out a long breath, and there was a mist in front of him. Although he was determined to vote for the Tang Dynasty, and even intended to go to the pilgrimage, he did not want to, nor did he have the courage to start a war with the Turks.

In the battle a year ago, if brothers Liu Shirang and Liu Bao hadn't charged in the first place, Yuan Junzhang, who was cornered, would not have beheaded his generals before charging forward.

Quietly looking at the high-spirited young man in front of him, Yuan Junzhang had extremely complicated feelings in his heart. Over the years, he had seen countless heroes, and he had also seen many descendants of aristocratic families, but such a person... maybe only the same man back then. The uncrowned King Qin can compare with one or two.

Half a year after Li Shan arrived in Daizhou, Yuan Junzhang's ambitions disappeared quietly and logically. In order to show his sincerity, he even personally brought several generals under his command into the Tang army formation.

Li Shan, who had not rested all night, kept his hands in his sleeves, looked at the vast snow field, turned his head and said with a smile: "Duke Rui and Duke Liu have made great achievements in this battle, so they must tell the saints."

Liu Shirang said with a smile: "In this great victory, the first step is to plan and plan to defeat the enemy. The second is to charge the battle in person to boost the morale of the army. I can only help one or two times. How dare I take credit for it?"

Er Zhu Yichen on the side couldn't help but glance at the past. He has been working in Hedong for the past few years, and he knows Liu Shirang's nature very well. He thought that after Mayi's consolation, this stubborn old man was completely surrendered by his nephew.

That's right, Liu Shirang was helpless in court, neither the East Palace nor Tiance Mansion would accept it, and even Li Yuan once wanted to ask for a crime, if not relying on Li Shan, who else could he rely on?

"The first meritorious service is naturally the Duke of Guantao County. All the generals and Duke Liu have meritorious service." Yuan Junzhang said with a smile, "But I just stick to the confrontation, and there is really no merit to be gained."

"If it weren't for Duke Rui sitting in Mayi, thousands of Turks would have headed east..." Li Shan shook his head slightly, "Someone should report to a saint."

Yuan Junzhang hesitated for a while, turned his body slightly, and asked softly: "Why don't you meet me at the next pilgrimage and report to Your Majesty."

Li Shan was a little surprised, but he was also pleasantly surprised by the other party's understanding, and handed him a gentle smile, "With such a heart, the saint must be very happy."

Yuan Junzhang was relieved at first, but then he mentioned that he really couldn't see the harmless smile on Li Shan's face, which seemed to hide thousands of years of ice.

Li Shan looked left and right. In name, Shuozhou was governed by the governor of the prefecture. If Yuan Junzhang entered the court, Liu Shirang must take over. However, it is impossible for the Tang army to firmly guard Mayi, an important military stronghold, only by Liu Shirang.

Among the assistant officials of Daizhou General Manager's Mansion, Zhang Gongjin, Duan Zhixuan, Su Dingfang, and Xue Wanche are all capable, but Su Dingfang needs to control the army, and the other three... Li Shanzhen is really afraid that something bad will happen!
Li Shan thought about it in his heart. He mentioned to Li Daozong before that he hoped that Bingzhou could support a group of lieutenant generals to make up for Mayi. His eyes fell on Zhang Baoxiang.

Although Zhang Baoxiang's military exploits were not as good as Su Dingfang and Liu Shirang's in this battle, he still charged with a lance with dozens of long arrows in his body, shouting fierce battles also left a deep impression on Li Shan... I just don't know that Li Daozong is reluctant to let people go.

At this time, Li Shan's thoughts were interrupted by the long sound of the horn that suddenly sounded. The sound of the horn has always been exclusive to the Hu people, which is similar to the sound of the drums and the ringing of gold by the Han people.

A scout rushed over, "To the northwest, the Turkic army is approaching!"

Li Shan glanced at the tense Yuan Junzhang, "There are not many idiots like Ruyugushi, and the Turks will never start a big war at this time."

Yuan Junzhang felt that his throat was a little dry, and he was slandering in his heart... You have arrested the only son of the family, who knows if Jieli Khan will really raise an army and go south.

However, Yuan Junzhang also knew that Yugushe had just been captured today, even if Jieli Khan wanted to make a big attack, it would not be so soon.

Who is it?

At this time, the wind and snow gradually stopped, and the dark Turkic cavalry came from the northwest direction, and their horseshoes trampled on the snow that had just covered the ground last night. Li Shan looked around, and now he has some experience. About three thousand cavalry.

However, the association rate who had just withdrawn to the north also led his troops back. Li Shan did not show up at this time, but gave up the command to Su Dingfang, which was also part of his plan.

Su Dingfang dispatched on the spot, Liu Shirang and Yuan Junzhang led the Mayi garrison westward to approach Mayi, Zhang Baoxiang and Er Zhu Yichen led the Yanmenguan Tang Army to march northwestward, relying on Mayi, the two sides formed a corner.

However, the Turkic army did not intend to launch an attack. The two armies were separated, and the cavalry shuttled back and forth non-stop... Li Shan could immediately conclude that the men and horses who came must be Jieli Khan.

The next moment, Li Shan knew who it was.

A horse galloped towards the south and shouted loudly, "See you, old friends outside Guantao City."
