Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 544 Zhang Sanlang

Zhang Sanlang's pleading is reasonable, now inside and outside Mayi, there are thousands of Yuan Junzhang's old troops, and the Tang army also has about [-] soldiers. Once Liu Bao, who was a recorder and joined the army, was beheaded at this time, I am afraid that the gap between the two sides will be deeper. The big picture is in the way.
.
The final solution is that Liu Bao, who was a recorder and joined the military, was unfair and was demoted to the treasurer to join the army.

At this time, Li Shan can be regarded as taking on the role of the hero, guaranteeing the supply of food and grass to the surrounding soldiers, military leaders, and the few generals who have just arrived.

But I have to say that the birth of Zhang Sanlang made Li Shan, the leading actor, very weak in existence, that is to say, he is too ugly...

Li Shan couldn't help guessing in his heart that this guy must be in his 40s. He listened to his words and watched his actions.

We must know that even ordinary children from poor families, in the troubled times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, did not have the opportunity to rise by leaps and bounds, such as Cheng Yaojin and Li Shiji are typical examples.

But this Sanlang has both the city, the means, and the courage, so he is just a small army leader?
Most likely it's because she's too ugly, with protruding ears, flat nose, and buck teeth. That face is really unsightly.

In any dynasty, in addition to paying attention to ability, education, and family lintel, being an official also depends on appearance.

Li Shanrao beckoned Zhang Sanlang to come closer, "You still have something to say."

Hearing such an affirmative tone, Zhang Sanlang was stunned before nodding his head vigorously, and said in a low voice: "He Xiaodong's personal guard is the person who makes noise for everyone."

Li Shan is familiar with Yuan Junzhang's generals, but he has never heard of this name, "Who?"

"Oh, no wonder!"

"It was him!"

Both Qin Wutong and Liu Shirang, who had been in Hedong for a long time, suddenly realized, and the latter sneered: "Duke Rui has entered the court, and this official wants to have something in mind!"

Qin Wutong, who participated in the Battle of Baibi with Li Shimin back then, introduced a few words in a low voice, He Xiaodong, a native of Mayi, was once a general under Liu Wuzhou's command after Song Jingang.

Liu Wuzhou was defeated and fled to the grassland, and was finally beheaded by Jieli Khan because of his close relationship with Tuli Khan. He Xiaodong and Yuan Junzhang once fought, and the latter won in the end, leading Liu Wuzhou's remnants across Shuozhou and Yunzhou.

Since then, He Xiaodong has lived in seclusion, and even Gao Manzheng's defection has not been involved in him... After all, seniority is there.

Now Yuan Junzhang has no ambitions and enters the court to become a minister, but He Xiaodong sends his personal guards to stir up chaos in secret, obviously wanting to have something to do.

The scene was almost dealt with, Li Shan and his party returned to the residence, and Liu Wu took Zhang Sanlang to follow behind.

After closing the courtyard door, Li Shan looked around and waved his hand: "Jun Hao stays...well, Zhang Sanlang also stays."

More than a dozen eyes all turned to Zhang Sanlang who didn't change his expression. These personal guards were all old people who had followed Li Shan for several years. They knew that although his husband was easy-going, he was arrogant, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to catch his eyes.

Everyone sat down, Wang Junhao and Zhang Sanlang stood on both sides, Li Shan smiled and asked: "Liu Gong, this time I wronged my brother."

"How dare you talk about grievances?" Liu Shirang's old face is still the same, but the tone of his speech... If Li Gaoqian and Li Shenfu heard it, he would think he must have seen a ghost... Would you also speak in this tone?
Qin Wutong nodded and said: "Although there are accidents, it will eventually come to pass. As long as everyone treats everyone equally, the soldiers will definitely love Tang."

"What about He Xiaodong?"

Li Shan smiled and pouted at Zhang Sanlang, "Let's talk about it."

With these few words just now, Zhang Sanlang’s face has changed again and again, today’s incident is completely a drama, the recorder joined the army and handled things unfairly, and the soldiers were dissatisfied. military spirit.

Moreover, Zhang Sanlang vaguely guessed that the move of the King of Handan might lead the snake out of the hole, so now it's all right, He Xiaodong rammed into it head-on.

Qin Wutong glanced at Zhang Sanlang, "No matter the general or the school, the soldiers should have returned to their hearts."

Zhang Sanlang's complexion changed again, it is true, as Liu Wu said in the restaurant today, the generals seek glory and wealth, but the soldiers only want to live in peace, after today, as long as the generals of the Tang army treat everyone equally, let alone He Xiaodong, even if Xi is agitated , I'm afraid it's hard to do anything.

After a pause, Zhang Sanlang bowed and said: "Hidden in the dark, you need to beware of fear, but now it has surfaced, you only need a warrant from His Highness, and you can bind your hands."

Xue Wanche, who had been silent all this time, asked with great interest: "Is there anyone in Rui Guogong's old department?"

Without thinking about it, Zhang Sanlang said decisively: "Even if you have objections, you dare not act."

This is a well-understood logic. He Xiaodong intends to make trouble, so it is impossible not to contact those generals who hold real power... But in the end, it was He Xiaodong's personal guards who came out in person to stir up trouble, and the other generals did not move at all.

Xue Wanche became interested, "You are from Mayi?"

Zhang Sanlang bowed to the ground, but his direction was directly facing Li Shan, "I am a nobleman, the villain's surname is Zhang, ranking third, from Yangzhou, he was exiled in the frontier and joined the army in the previous dynasty, and he was coerced into the army in the 13th year of Daye..."

Li Shan listened absent-mindedly, still thinking about business, but inadvertently, his eyes met Zhang Sanlang who was looking up.

A feeling of deja vu suddenly came to my heart, and the emotions in those eyes were also what Li Shan once had... Hope, ambition, unwillingness...

But the self in the previous life was able to use the college entrance examination as a bridge to blaze a trail, which was a shortcut given to the peasants by the times.

And what about Zhang Sanlang?
Over forty years old, still unknown, a small army leader, in terms of class comparison, compared to the Handan King of the Tang Dynasty, this is a light and fluffy mustard.

Li Shan put away his casual expression, and asked directly: "Do you want to follow Gu?"

"Willing to die for His Highness."

Li Shan got up and said: "Although this has not been crowned yet, he is already famous all over the world...Brother Wu Tong, isn't that an exaggeration?"

Qin Wutong laughed and said: "It's not only famous all over the world, Huairen's name will definitely be engraved on the later generations and be admired by future generations!"

"Civil and military at the same time." Liu Shirang boasted very rarely: "His Royal Highness writes a pen and recites a poem, and the battles in Shandong and Hedong show the talent of military strategy."

"It's overrated." Li Shan blushed a little.

Xue Wanche's mind was not very bright, so he thought for a while and added: "Sleeping flowers and drunk willows, there are no two people in the world!"

Li Shan's face darkened, and he scolded with a smile: "Then trouble brother Xue, let's see how many rounds Sanlang can go in your hands!"

Xue Wanche was quite interested in this, found two sticks, and threw one to Zhang Sanlang, "Come, come, come!"

Li Shan didn't bother to look at it, so he turned his head and asked, "What did Liu Wu say?"

Wang Junhao reported a few words in a low voice, and Li Shan's face gradually became strange.

After a while, the contest of skills between the two came to an end. Xue Wanche is a famous general in Hebei, although he is not a real sword, but he can't beat his opponent for a while.

"That's all." Li Shan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Sanlang, "Do you really want to be an orphan's personal guard?"

After a pause, seeing that Zhang Sanlang didn't speak immediately, Li Shan sighed, "It really is Pharmacist Li!"

Li Shan never imagined that he would meet Zhang Zhongjian, one of the most mysterious Three Heroes in historical novels, here.
