Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 553
Outside Yanmen Pass, there is a vast sky and blue sky, and hundreds of cavalry galloped to the northwest, rolling up bursts of yellow sand.

"Chirp..."

Surrounded by the formation, Li Shan raised his head and frowned, seeing seven or eight big birds hovering high above his head, which looked like eagles.

In novels, there are often plots where grassland tribes use eagles as scouts... such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and "The Story of the Qin Dynasty", but Li Shan also stayed in Daizhou for more than half a year. Asked, absolutely impossible.

There are many types of vultures, most of which are ferocious by nature, and may be able to hunt, but it is absolutely difficult to convey information.

At this time, a cavalryman in front suddenly bent his bow and set an arrow while galloping. The arrow flew like a shooting star, and the big eagle hovering above his head wailed and fell.

The cavalry reined in one after another and praised loudly.

Li Shanxiao asked: "How?"

"Good archery!" Ren Chengwang Li Daoxuan's hand was a little itchy, he hesitated for a while and still didn't go to fetch the bow, if he failed, it would be embarrassing.

"Huiren really has the ability to understand people." Wen Yanbo, Duke of Xihe County beside him, praised: "Such a sharp shot, like a goose king in the past."

"Don't dare to compare." Li Shan looked at Zhang Zhongjian who was holding a big bow, "The goose king killed two birds with one stone back then, leaving his name in history."

The so-called Goose King refers to Li Shimin's deceased father-in-law, the famous grandson Sheng.

"Not weak to the Goose King." The silent Zhang Shigui suddenly said: "Speeding non-stop, such a sharp shot, not weak Li Guangyang Youji."

Li Shan and Wen Yanbo looked at each other, and they were speechless. No one knew that it was more difficult to shoot a moving target. We just found a topic to talk about. One boasted that he was knowledgeable, and the other showed his knowledge It's just wide...you really come up with a review.

No wonder you are written as a traitor with a bad face in romance novels, this is called not being an official!

Originally, he was thinking about whether to let Xue Wanche be Zhang Shigui's deputy, but now Li Shan has completely dismissed this idea... Zhang Shigui is indeed a man of both civil and military skills, and he is very good at management, but he has a bit of a stubborn temper.

If he refuses to be persuaded this time, or if Zhang Shigui refuses to take over, Li Shan is not prepared to fight in person, so he simply gives up and pulls him down...Anyway, before Li Jing takes office, the Turks are unlikely to attack, and the rest of the blame will be thrown to Li Jing.

Zhang Zhongjian presented the big eagle in front of the horse, Li Shan smiled and praised a few words, thinking that no matter whether the meat is delicious or not, at least it must be illegal in future generations... Maybe eating ten frogs would be illegal, let alone This kind of carving.

People rest on the side of the road, saying that it is a roadside, but in fact there is no official road, it's just that there are many years...the so-called there is no road at all, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road.

"How?" Li Shan asked directly without turning his head.

"It's enough to take on important tasks." Su Dingfang's tone was a little strange, "What's more, he joined the army as a soldier from Shuozhou, and he belongs to the Yiyang County Duke, as it should be."

Wen Yanbo next to him didn't understand, but Zhang Shigui understood it as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but look up at the ugly but tall Zhang Zhongjian in the distance, Chang why didn't he want to enter Mayi, the King of Handan was going to let this person help guard the horse Yap?

A total of [-] cavalry were sent out this time, of which [-] were under the command of Zhang Zhongjian, and the remaining [-] were the personal guards of Li Shan, Su Dingfang, and Zhang Shigui.

As soon as he left the fortress, Zhang Shigui noticed that it was Zhang Zhongjian who gave the orders. Judging from his instructions, he was obviously a veteran in battle, calm and relaxed.

But it is said that this person is Yuan Junzhang's former subordinate, Zhang Shigui said in a low voice: "King of Handan..."

"Didn't I just say it, privately saying Huai Ren is enough." Li Shan interrupted: "Purge Rui Guogong's old department, riots outside the city, He Xiaodong... is the one that Brother Wu An met face-to-face, and made nearly a thousand soldiers riot , it was Zhang Zhongjian who came down with a drum and captured him alive."

"Oh?" Zhang Zhongjian became interested, "I don't know where it came from...I haven't heard its name."

Wen Yanbo on the side asked with a smile: "Could it be Ziyu's generation?"

Li Shanren smiled and said, "Maybe so."

The so-called judging people by their words, judging people by their appearance, judging people by their appearance, Ziyu who is lost... He is too ugly, so he can't stand out.

Well, no matter what era you are in, it is actually normal to be ugly and not stand out, but it is rare to stand out.

After a pause, Li Shan said in a low voice: "Zhang Zhongjian has great prestige in Duke Rui's old department, and it is difficult to turn back. He led [-] cavalry to garrison Mayi. If the Duke of Yiyang is not idle, it will be of great use."

"And this person has an old relationship with Yongkang County."

"Huh?" Wen Yanbo was stunned for a moment before he realized, "That's right, Liu Wuzhou sent troops to kill Wang Rengong. At that time, the pharmacist was the magistrate of Mayi County, and it was Wang Rengong's deputy."

Li Daozong's eyes flickered, "In this way, there should be a chance of winning."

"Nowadays around Mayi, Yiyang County Duke and Qin Wutong have about four thousand Tang troops, and Rui Guogong's old army only left a thousand and five cavalrymen. The Turks don't invade in large numbers. If there is an accident, then..." Li Shansheng Shrugged, "I can only admit that the ignorant people are wise."

Wen Yanbo laughed, "Whoever can be recommended by Huairen... Su Dingfang is one of them. He conquered Tuyuhun in the west, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, attacked the Turks in the north, pursued them in snowy nights, and captured Yugushi alive. They all made great achievements.

Liu Shirang counted as one, he attacked the camp on a snowy night, captured and killed Yu Sheshe, and achieved a great victory in the Yanmen Gate. Now he is regarded as a famous general in Hedong. This Zhang Zhongjian must have something extraordinary. "

Li Shan said a few words modestly, while Su Dingfang's eyes drooped slightly, and he recalled the first time he met Li Shan in that small village back then.

Ling Jing also mentioned in private that it seems that Li Shan has a deep understanding of many people, even many people who are not well-known today, such as the young Chu Suiliang, before King Qin and Ouyang Xun made him famous. , Li Shan once went to ask for words.

But this can't explain himself. Su Dingfang knows in his heart that Liu Shirang is different from himself. Li Shan was forced to use Liu Shirang back then, and no one else could use it... After the first battle, he had to choose to stick to the end, which led to The current situation has caused Liu Shirang to rely on Li Shan.

But I was different. My mother almost died that day, and Li Shan suddenly changed his attitude after only hearing a name... This is very similar to Zhang Zhongjian.

With some doubts, Su Dingfang deliberately observed Zhang Zhongjian for several days. He was not good at talking, and he even chatted with him several times. In addition, he witnessed the leader of the other side like his arm today...Su Dingfang can be sure, this Zhang Zhongjian is indeed a Ziyu.

But the question is, how did Li Shan, who is willing to give a chance just by hearing his name, make those judgments?

At this time, Su Dingfang heard Li Shan beside him comment on everyone.

"Brother Dingfang will be famous in history, and brother Daozong will be a virtuous king. In the future, the Tang army will march north to the grasslands. Both of them will be leading generals."

"Mr. Yanbo doesn't say too much. Some celebrities in the previous dynasty asserted that the three heroes of the Wen family in Taiyuan should all be named as prime ministers."

"As for Brother Wu An..." Li Shan looked at Zhang Shigui, "Brother Wu An should be the first to be considered by later generations as an outstanding figure in both civil and martial arts in the early Tang Dynasty."
