Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 549 Welcome
Yunzhou, in the clouds.

The leader of the association wiped out the rest of the wine in the bowl in one gulp, kicked over a wooden stool in front of him angrily, and muttered and cursed something.

There is no end to taking advantage of it!
As the younger brother of Tuli Khan, the association rate is not to mention his own ability, but he is extremely trusted. He has a comprehensive understanding of the alliance between Tuli Khan and Emperor Tang... In fact, the relationship between the two is the association rate. Responsible for communication channels.

Li Shan's return to Beijing had a far-reaching impact on the Turkic people... It's just that Tuli Khan and his brothers knew it well, while Jieli Khan was probably kept in the dark.

The most important thing is naturally the correspondence between Emperor Tang and Tuli Khan, from the King of Qin to the Prince, and then to the King of the County...finally the covenant was made.

It's just that Li Shan canonized the king of Handan, which stunned Tuli Khan and the rate of association... If Li Shan himself was not famous in the north and held great power, they would have suspected that Tang Emperor was fooling people.

Although it is just a covenant that cannot be put on the table, and even on the surface it is still a hostile relationship, it is a booster for Tuli Khan himself who is at a disadvantage.

The association rate remembered hearing in Wuyuan County a few days ago that Jieli Khan cursed Li Huairen day and night, claiming that his head must be taken... The association rate, who had suffered countless dumb losses at the hands of Li Shan, wanted to encourage Jieli Khan to send troops quickly, and it was best to fight with him That guy fights to the detriment of both sides.

Jieli Khan claims that the Turks control 40 people, but in fact a large number of tribes are vassal races, such as the nine surnames of Tiele. After the confrontation with Jieli Khan, Turkic civil strife, vassal races did not dare to blend in, and most of them died down.

If Jieli Khan led troops south to attack Yanmen Pass, the strength of the troops would not exceed [-]. I really hope that he will be smashed before the front of the fortress!

The possibility of this is not low. The Turks are not good at attacking cities, let alone a famous pass like Yanmen Pass, and considering that Jieli Khan just lost [-] serfs... This is really not a small number .

The [-] serfs seem like a trivial matter, they are Han people who were captured from the east of the river, but in fact, the development of Wuyuan County in recent years cannot be separated from the hard work of tens of thousands of serfs... In other words, the Turkic king's tent was established in Wuyuan County, Instead of moving by water and grass, it largely depends on the serfs.

Tuli Khan saw through this very early on, so he insidiously asked his younger brother to form an association and suggest that Li Shan ask for serfs.

However, when an army of [-] troops attacked Yanmen Pass, Li Shan could only try his best to fight back. Maybe Mayi would fall soon... I remembered my brother mentioned that this year Jieli will definitely lead his troops to the south, and if Li Shan wants to do what he wants, he will come to a point. blood?
You can't always take advantage of it, can you?

The association rate cursed a few words inwardly, and rubbed the center of his brows, this time it was fine, and he came to take advantage again, again and again, endlessly!
"Let them go!" After hesitating for a while, the association rate still made up its mind, knowing that the covenant with the Tang Dynasty has not been signed yet... Uh, that guy Li Shan probably came to blackmail him because of this.

"That carrying..."

"Let them get out together!" The association leader roared expressionlessly.

Two days ago, the rate of associations was reported, and the caravans from Hedong repeated their old tricks, once again persuading the people to move to Daizhou in Yunzhong, Zuoyun and surrounding villages and towns... Baiyugu set up a riot at the beginning of the year, and a large number of people They couldn't wait to follow the caravan back to Daizhou.

Originally, he wanted to block the association rate, but before he could do anything, he received a secret letter from Li Shan.

In the letter, Li Shan unceremoniously asked the association to lead the people to move to Daizhou, and also attached a list... This is the young man Yuan Junzhang coerced in Yunzhou last year.

Some of these young and strong family members have already moved to Daizhou, but a considerable number of them remain in Yunzhou... Of course, the association rate can be seen clearly. If Li Shan can safely get these young and strong family members to Daizhou, then these young and strong The strong general did not hesitate to die for Li Shanxiao.

Do not agree?
The rate of association really deliberately refused to agree, but if he didn't agree, he was really afraid that the unpredictable young man would use some tricks.

At this time, there was a noise from outside, and several relatives rushed in, "Someone is blocking the caravan..."

Before he finished speaking, the rate of association bounced off the stool, grabbed the exquisite horsewhip hanging on the wall, and walked out angrily with a sullen face... Now that Yunzhou is his own territory, who dares to make trouble? !
Ever since Yuan Junzhang raided Yunzhou last year and took the young and strong to the south to attack Mayi, Yunzhou has gradually withered, and after the wanton killing in Yugushe, it has become even more popular... This is also an association The reason why the rate nods today.

But from a geographical point of view, Yunzhou is actually a fortress, located in the north of Shuozhou, and the Turks sent troops to attack Hedong, and Yunzhou was a major traffic artery.

It is also located in the east of Wuyuan County, to the west is the tent of the Turkic king, and all the way to the north, it can be vaguely connected with the tribes under the command of the Turkic Khan.

Therefore, after Yuan Junzhang decided to vote for the Tang Dynasty, Yugushe led his troops to go south, and Jieli Khan handed Yunzhou over to Yugushe as a matter of course... It's a pity that this person is too useless, but the association rate took advantage of this.

Of course, not all of Yunzhou is organized by associations. He only occupies the eastern part of Yunzhou and the main roads going south and north, and the west is stationed by Jieli Khan's confidants... After all, it borders Wuyuan County .

But Yunzhong is a place of association rate, he can't tolerate being provoked... On the one hand, it is due to his personality, on the other hand, Tuli Khan will come to sign an alliance with the Tang envoy in person soon, how can there be any accidents?
Not far from the city gate of Yunzhong County, more than a hundred Turkic cavalry surrounded hundreds of Han people. The people were terrified, children were crying, and the surrounded caravan guards held guns and knives. The situation was imminent.

"Uncle Guo, what should we do?"

There was a whispered question in his ear, and Guo Pu, who was holding a long knife, was a little nervous, "Don't be afraid, the Turkic people dare not..."

Before he finished speaking, he could only hear the sound of the bowstring, and a long arrow was stuck in the wood of the carriage beside him, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling violently.

A strange look appeared on Fan Shiyi's face, "Uncle Guo, why do you look like a gentleman..."

At this time, he was still joking, Guo Pu was a little bit dumbfounded, he cursed in his heart that he was really free, and insisted on making this trip, but something happened... Until now, he still doesn't know what happened, and he had already let go. Suddenly a Biao Turkic people came and surrounded him.

On the contrary, Fan Shiyi is quite unlucky. According to him, he just came here in a hurry. If he hadn't waited for him, he should have left the city... Uh, Fan Shiyi has always been in charge of communicating with the association rate.

"That seems to be a Han Chinese?" Fan Shiyi's eyes were sharpest, and he stretched out his hand and pointed far away.

Guo Pu squinted his eyes and saw a middle-aged man dressed like a Han Chinese gesticulating. Judging by the gesture, he wanted to send troops to attack...

This idea just flashed in his mind, before Guo Pu had time to react, dozens of horsemen came galloping suddenly, the head of the association only listened to a few words, clamped his legs, the horse galloped over, and the whip in his hand was in the air With a whirring sound, the middle-aged Han man was pulled off his horse.

There was an uproar all around, but the surrounding Turkic cavalry did nothing... Instead, they stepped back and stepped back, watching helplessly as the tail of the exquisite whip in the leader's hand fell on the middle-aged Han man again and again.

"After snatching a circle, you actually snatched it into the cloud?!" Jie Jie led his eyes to breathe fire, and put more strength into his hands. The middle-aged Han man on the ground screamed again and again, but he didn't dare to roll carelessly... In case he was trampled by a horse's hoof , If you don't die, you have to be disabled!

The rate of association let out a sigh of relief, and then waved the Turkic people to take the middle-aged Han people to leave, and whispered to Fan Shiyi, urging the caravan to leave as soon as possible.

After discussing with Fan Shiyi, Guo Pu and Fan Shiyi decided to abandon part of the supplies and try to use horses and carriages to carry people south as soon as possible. At dusk, they met Li Shan who came to greet them.

Before Li Shan came forward, dozens of big men rushed out behind him, with tears in their eyes, shouting loudly, and the caravan also echoed one after another.

Yunzhou Qingzhuang, who was coerced by Yuan Junzhang to go south last year, originally had some people who hoped to return north to their homeland, but after the wanton killing at Yugushe, they all hoped to move their family to Daizhou.

When Li Shan left Mayi, he was sensitively aware of the atmosphere, changed his mind temporarily, and brought these young men to the north to meet them. At this time, the son was looking for the father, the wife was looking for the husband, and the mother was looking for the son. There were both wailing and laughter. , very messy.

Li Shan looked at this scene with emotion, and said softly: "If you choose the young and strong among them, you will naturally be willing to do your best, but after half a year, we have just reunited, how can we bear to see them being separated again?"

Zhang Zhongjian on the side didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that His Highness's words were quite benevolent, but even so, these young men who settled in Daizhou and Xinzhou must be included in the roster of government soldiers.

Guo Pu and Fan Shiyi rushed to this matter.

"Lang Jun." Fan Shiyi stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Li Shan nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Uncle Guo is actually leading the team this time."

"See you..."

"What's Uncle Guo doing?" Li Shan got off his horse and pulled Guo Pu up, "Uncle Guo has assisted him several times, and I'm so grateful for it. Are we going to separate him from high and low today?"

Guo Pu was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, he was from the Li family and had no official system, and now Li Shan was no longer the young man he met for the first time the year before last.

Li Shan didn't take it seriously, some things others didn't understand, he had to insist on it, he asked a few words about things outside Yunzhong County, laughed and scolded: "Jieli Khan is shameless...uh, but it's not a bad thing. "

After a pause, Li Shan explained: "For the [-] serfs, Jieli Khan naturally refuses to bear all of them, so he must collect them from various places..."

This Li Shan also guessed it, but that person was a bit blind, and he ran to Yunzhong's side, and he deserved to be whipped by the association rate.

"Everything went well?"

"Successful." Fan Shiyi grinned, but glanced away from the corner of his eye.

Guo Pu withdrew a long time ago, Zhang Zhongjian at the side was stunned before he realized it, and retreated slowly under the watchful eyes of many guards.

Li Shan turned back and gave a comforting look. After all, you have only been with me for a few days. After all, you will follow Li Yaoshi in the future, so he turned around and asked: "Is the fellow in the association honest?"

"There's nothing you can do about being dishonest, right?" Fan Shiyi was one of the few people who knew the inside story, and whispered, "Before leaving, there were a lot of complaints about the association rate, saying that it would be necessary to ask for it back in the future."

Li Shan sneered and said, "Let him come... Maybe he is the second Yugu She!"

Fan Shiyi couldn't help laughing, and wanted to set up that guy... From Hebei, Shandong, to Mayi, Shuozhou, and then to Yanmen, almost every time he appeared brought unparalleled benefits to Mr. Lang.

It can be said that Li Shan climbed up again and again. In addition to his own ability, luck and the foresight of the traveler, the most important impetus came from two parties, one was Li Dewu and Pei Shiju, and the other was Yugu. up.

"Who is that Han man?" Li Shan asked casually, "The association said he was a national teacher... Jieli Khan would use a Han man as a national teacher?"

Fan Shiyi replied: "The villain has also heard of this person in Yunzhou. It is said that Jieli Khan was congenial after he ascended the Khan throne. He was highly valued and respected as the national teacher. This time he recruited serfs from other tribes. The one who made the contribution... By the way, his name is Zhao Deyan."

"Zhao Deyan?" Li Shan was stunned for a while, and thought for a while before he remembered the name, but he didn't know it from the official history.

Well, one of the eight masters of the Demon Sect, Wu Zun Bixuan has to use the ultimate trick to defeat him, the descendant of the Demon Xiangzong... Oh, by the way, his master is Changsun Sheng.

However, Li Shan didn't know what this person did in the official history at all, and he didn't even know that there was really a Zhao Deyan in history until now.

Thinking of this, Li Shan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Zhongjian who was standing far away... These days, why does this kind of person keep appearing around him?

Li Shan faintly sensed something, and Zhao Deyan made a fuss...and suggested that Jieli Khan treat other tribes harshly. This is really not a good suggestion for Jieli Khan.

In fact, in history, Zhao Deyan is not worthy of a special mention, but he has made great efforts for the destruction of the Eastern Turks. Before he went north to the Turks, the Turks were honest and simple. Simple structure and easy management.

It was Zhao Deyan who persuaded Jieli Khan to greatly strengthen the centralization and power of the Khan, and imposed strict laws on other tribes, which caused dissatisfaction among the tribal leaders. Tuli Khan was able to compete with Jieli Khan. On the one hand, it lies in the identity, on the other hand, it lies in the alliance with Li Tang, but on the other hand, it is because of Zhao Deyan that Jieli Khan's support is against him.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and Wang Junhao watched from a distance, "Mr. Lang, it should be a letter from Yanmen."

Now some of Li Shan's personal guards are scattered in Daizhou, Xinzhou, and Shuozhou. They are mainly responsible for the correspondence between Daixian, Yanmenguan, Naoxian, and Mayi. Li Shan even set up a point in Taiyuan Prefecture.

"Lang Jun." The person who came was a member of the Zhu clan, and he leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Linggong has a letter."

Li Shan tilted his head, who exactly did Li Shimin stuff?
Qin Qiong didn't want to think about it anymore, but other famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty... It's really hard to find a few who are both civil and military.

After opening the letter and taking a few glances, Li Shan was speechless... unexpectedly sent the famous white-faced treacherous official in the novel!
Just as he was about to laugh and curse, suddenly there was silence around him, Li Shan looked sideways, and there were hundreds of young adults and hundreds of people bowing down to worship.
