Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 584 Prologue

August [-]th, morning.

Li Shan, who was riding wobbly on the horse, yawned and tilted his body, which made Zhu Wei who was beside him couldn't help but want to help him.

But Li Shan straightened his body, took off the rein with his right hand, and immediately sat firmly... After all, it will be a year since he came to Daizhou in two months, and he has gone through several battles. Will fall off the horse again in disgrace.

Although the sky was already bright, looking up, the faintly visible stars were still hanging in the sky. Li Shan calculated in his heart that it was about 04:30 to [-] o'clock in the morning.

This is a time when Li Shan would never get up in his previous life... Well, if it's a night shift, it's a different story.

But last night Li Shan was very busy, and the night shift was not counted as a night shift. He woke up within an hour after falling asleep, and was extremely sleepy.

"Most of the 3 people have already moved into the village." Zhang Shigui said from the side, "Leave [-] young men as husbands, but Cui Bang, the nephew of Xihe County, stayed in the village."

"Huh?" Li Shan was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "If you can make meritorious service and inherit the title of Duke of Qinghe County when you return to the court, then you will be miserable."

Zhang Shigui went in without knowing, Xue Wanche beside him couldn't stop laughing, he often corresponded with Donggong, but he knew about it, Cui Bang followed Qinghe County Duke, Cui Xin was too embarrassed.

"About half of the 3 people returned to their homeland, and the remaining ten thousand were resettled in Daizhou and Xinzhou." Li Shan praised: "Brother Zigou and Zhang Hongshen really worked hard, but they also cooperated tacitly..."

Speaking of this, Li Shan glared at Xue Wanche, "It's not like him... shut up when you get to Guji Town later."

Zhang Shigui was well-behaved in those days, but his mouth was idle, and he was in line with Qin Wangfu's lineage and Su Dingfang.

Zhu Wei couldn't help laughing and said: "General Xue has worked hard today, so let's practice closed-mouth meditation for now."

As soon as those words came out, Xue Wanche couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. The so-called silent meditation of the low monks in Dongshan Temple... and it became a joke in the market.

Even when scolding each other, no one will scold... He should go to Dongshan Temple to practice closed mouth meditation!
Shuozhou is located to the west of Daizhou, and Yunzhou is located to the north of Shuozhou, but Shuozhou looks like the right wing of a wild goose on the map, with the tip of the wing slanting to the northeast, so Yanmenguan is actually not far from the boundary line of Yunzhou and Shuozhou. It is far, and that is the key reason why Tang Jun chose to build a stronghold on the northeast line of defense at Yanmen Pass.

Starting from Yanmen Pass to Guji Town, the slow horse galloped for two hours. Tang Jun and his party were in a hurry and did not arrive until noon.

The Tang army was stationed under the hill, looking around, two months had not yet arrived, and Guji Town is still the same today. Although the thick city wall is low, but because of the overall low terrain, it leads to the low position and the low arrows. Although the tower is made of wood, the top and bottom are made of red bricks... At first glance, Lu Dong saw that it was like a bunker. Any kind of archer would probably have something to do with that tower.

The walls were separated, but the city gate was small. Tang Jun rushed in and found that it was an urn city.

"What the King of Handan said, the Shangguan carefully considered it." Xue Wanche explained: "If the Turkic offensive is too fierce, open the city gate and allow the Turkic cavalry to enter."

At Xue Wanche's signal, Wen Bang, who came down to greet him, saluted and pointed to the inner city gate in front, "This city gate is actually nothing but a place of death."

"Archers are arranged on the eight sides of the city wall, mixed with stones and giant trees, and there are no camouflaged city gates on the right and left sides, allowing cavalry to raid."

Tang Jun is very good at that. After all, the later generations are also some kind of military enthusiasts. I estimated it outside my heart. The city gate is slightly opened. It is estimated that the urn city can accommodate at most [-] Turkic cavalry. The obvious frontal city gate obviously took a while There will be a pattern for a while.

At that time, Li Shan under the inner city wall threw stones and huge logs, the gates on both sides opened, and the armed cavalry made a surprise attack... Such a charge was the advantage of Tang cavalry, and it would definitely defeat the Turks.

"Brother Wu An." Lu Dong didn't say anything, he entered the inner city and inspected the soldiers, stables, board and lodging, granaries and other places.

Zhou Qilang, Qi Laoba and others have been in Guji Town and are still busy firing red bricks, which can only be used to repair the city walls, and can even be used directly as stones.

Both sides of the horse fence are paved with red bricks and mud, which can go straight to the east and west sides. Xue Wanche has left side gates on both sides, which are specially used for the passage of cavalry.

"Here, the first is the heart of the soldiers, and the seventh is the heart of An Wu'an brother." Tang Jun held Xue Wanche's hand, and said solemnly: "Someone is not Shi Wanbao's generation."

After all, when they were stationed in Saili, the Ludong soldiers might have no fear in their hearts. After all, before Li Tang founded the country, Guji Town was the first stronghold Li Shan established in Saili on his own initiative. After all, Mayi surrendered.

And Tang Jun's appearance can boost morale. After all, Li Tang Seri's first victory against the Turks was also his hand, and Tang Jun also brought more than a hundred guards and a lot of medicinal materials. wounded barracks.

The heart of the soldiers is certain, and the heart of Anlu Dongzhong is even more unnecessary. Tang Jun suspected that Xue Wanche would abandon the army like Li Gaoqian, but the decisive factor was the absence of reinforcements.

The reason why Li Gaoqian abandoned the army and fled was to a small extent because he knew that Liu Shirang in front of him was willing to go out to help.

Tang Jun is here today, in Anxue Wanche's heart, Yanmen Pass will take care of him, and you are Shi Wanbao who sit back and watch the friendly army be wiped out.

Before pondering for a while, Tang Jun ordered Zhu Shiba and others to find a place to build a wounded barracks, and turned around and said, "Have a rest overnight, and return to the fortress tomorrow."

Almost at the same time, in Qiyuan County, there were a few angry roars from the little king's tent that shone with golden light.

In the king's tent, dozens of people's expressions changed slightly, and they exchanged winks, what happened to Khan?

Those were either the tribal leaders of the Ashi clan, or the leaders of the Tiele, Huihe, Bayegu, Tongluo, and Xi clans who were attached to the Turks.

Many people's eyes fell on the back of the young man standing at the back. This is Tuli Khan, who has had a feud with Jieli Khan in recent years.

Tuli Khan was also worried, what happened... Ten days later, Jieli Khan summoned the tribal leaders, which was a custom, and planned to invade the land of Tang Dynasty, plundering food, grass and people.

Tuli Khan has already made up his mind to send troops. Since the alliance with Li Tang, the trade routes have been smooth. Daizhou even sent a batch of grain and grass. I also specially asked the association rate to send a message to Daizhou. The Turks should send troops at the end of July.

At that time, the tent door of the king's tent was yanked shut, and the middle-aged young man with a strong figure stepped out with red eyes, pulled out the dagger at his waist, and stabbed it under the cheek with his backhand, with a stroke, blood flowed.

Everyone was a little startled, Ashina Sheer, who had followed Jieli Khan, walked up to Tuli Khan and the association rate, and said in a low or high voice with expressions on his face: "Yu Gushi committed suicide. "

The association rate still had something to think about, but Tuli Khan's face changed slightly, and there was a high exclamation from the tribal leaders in front.

"Tang Jun!"

"Tang Jun!!"

Jieli Khan glared at Tuli Khan fiercely, "Tang Jun killed Yu Sheshe first, and then humiliated my son to the point of committing suicide. This revenge is revenge, and the Ash family will be humiliated!"

Tuli Khan was stiff all over, but I said what I was saying. If it was just an invasion of the Tang Dynasty, I could find ten reasons for agreeing to it...but now Yugu plans to commit suicide, and Yushe, the youngest son of Chuluo Khan who is attached to me Assuming that he also died in the hands of Lu Dong, why did he send troops for no reason?
"Except for food and grass, all gold, silver, and population are allowed!" Jieli Khan drew out the scimitar at his waist and pointed to the south, "Send troops immediately, and we must sacrifice the heads of the Tang army to my son!"

Dozens of leaders of the small and big tribes looked at each other and bowed down in unison a moment ago.
