Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

On August 22, a team of two hundred cavalrymen slowly appeared beside the Ba Bridge. The curtain of the small carriage was lifted, and a thin young man leaned out, his eyes fell on the weeping willows by the river.

Goodbye Baqiao, goodbye Baqiao.

Li Shan clearly remembered that the first time he went to Chang'an, he was curious about where Baqiao was. The first time he saw Baqiao was when he was recruited into the army by Li Qianyou and went to Hebei. That was the starting point of his fortune.

It was the first time I saw Baqiao on my return trip. At that time, I thought, even if I want to make a chess piece, I have to make a heavy chess piece. After the wind and rain in Shandong, I will either actively or passively intensify my efforts in Chang'an. As a result, the rise of fame also officially opened a contest with Pei Shiju.

The second time I saw Baqiao on the return trip was at the beginning of this year. The great victory in Yanmen, and his reputation spread all over the court and the field. With the Daizhou Army in his hand, he already had the intention to retire, and pushed Li Jing out in line with the holy will... But I didn't expect good luck to trick people.

Regardless of the dissuasion of Qu Silang, who was driving the car, Li Shan jumped off the carriage and stroked the weeping willows with his own hands. His heart was full of emotions. His first thought when he came to this era was that this life should not be wasted. In this era, you must engrave your name in the history books.

Now, I seem to have achieved it, but at the same time, I paid a very heavy price.

More than two months have passed, and the sadness is hidden in my heart. Li Shan is not sentimental from time to time, but it is inevitable after all that he is about to return to his hometown... I will see Baqiao again, but Zhu Shitou, Zhu Shiliu, Fan Laosan, Tan brothers and the others will meet again. I can't see Baqiao anymore.

Two months ago, Li Shan sent people to send the bodies of the dead bodyguards back to Chang'an. Ling Jing mentioned in the letter that Zhuangzi, which was originally purple because of the use of red bricks, was as white as snow in winter.

What will happen to me in Chang'an when I see this famous Baqiao on the third return trip?
Now it has been seven years of Wude, and the seizure of the heir is about to heat up. Will he actively or passively participate in it?

"Finally home."

Hearing this sentence, Li Shan looked at Zhang Wenguan who came over with a funny look, and there was no joy on this little guy's face.

More than a month ago, Cui Xin returned to the court and took away Li Zhaode, while Zhang Wenguan stayed in Dai County with a stern face, having a great time... In Chang'an, there are so many elders in charge. In Daizhou, Who can control him?
However, Zhang Wenguan's so-called play is also valuable, and it helped Li Shan a lot.

"Brother Huai..." Zhang Wenguan laughed a few times, "You still need to cultivate in the past two days, when you visit Cui's residence... remember to bring your younger brother."

Li Shan couldn't help laughing out loud. Zhang Wenguan's father, Zhang Qianxiong, was the magistrate of Yangcheng. The Zhang family in Wucheng had many old in-laws in Chang'an, but the closest relationship was Cui Xin's wife, Zhang Shi, who was also Zhang Wenguan's direct aunt.

Although Mrs. Zhang is very satisfied with Li Shan, his son-in-law, but for his nephew Zhang Wenguan... who let this guy eat inside and out?

The scouts who explored the road ahead reported that Fan Shiyi, with a big scar on his face, came galloping on horseback, "Mr. Lang, the Minister of Zhongshu, Duke Xihe, Duke Ying, and his son-in-law, Captain Huo Guogong, greet you at Changlepo. .”

Zhang Wenguan clicked his tongue twice, and said in a low voice, "It's such a grand occasion, brother Huai...Since the founding of the People's Republic, except for King Qin, there has never been such a scene."

Indeed, after a great victory, the court should send important ministers to meet them. At first, Li Shimin pacified the Western Qin Dynasty, and the sage Li Yuan greeted him at Changlepo with his prime minister Chen Shuda and Pei Ji. After the Luoyang battle and the Luoshui victory, the people who came out were different. , but they are all in Changlepo.

In fact, it was normal. After all, during the Li and Tang dynasties, Li Shimin basically fought all the major battles. Li Xiaogong was qualified to do so. Unfortunately, he was falsely accused of treason and went back to Chang'an in dismay. Naturally, he did not receive such treatment.

Therefore, after the great victory in Luoshui, Changlepo came out to meet again. Although there was no prime minister this time, there were two Zhongshu servants and a captain's son-in-law, and they all picked people who had a friendly relationship with Li Shan. It's a deliberate arrangement.

Yu Wenshi and Li Shan had the earliest friendship, Chai Shao and his wife had the deepest relationship with Li Shan, and Wen Yanbo, the Duke of Xihe County, was ordered to inspect Dai, and had a good relationship with Li Shan, and in this war, Wen Bang was also in Zhaibao, Guji Town inside.

Li Shan didn't board the carriage, but with the help of Qu Silang, he rode on a tall horse, and a group of cavalry slowly passed the bridge.

At the Changle Slope, I could see people welcoming people from a distance, thinking of Li Shansan’s great achievements in defeating the Turks this time, the young Zhang Wenguan couldn’t help saying in a low voice: “A man should be like this.”

On that day, Li Shan left Dai County, and almost all the subordinate officials, generals, and officials from Yongkang County Duke Li Jing gathered together to see Li Shan off.

On that day, the departure convoy and cavalry were overwhelmed by the gathered crowd. Zhang Wenguan saw it with his own eyes. The elderly Su shook his hands and poured the wine himself, thanking the King of Handan for protecting the land.

Leaving Dai County and going all the way south, Zhang Wenguan found that Li Shan received extremely grand hospitality almost everywhere he went, whether it was the people at the bottom, the residents in the city, or even the high-ranking powerful people, all praised him.

Zhang Wenguan remembers that in Taiyuan that day, almost all the family members sent their children to welcome them. The Wang family in Taiyuan hosted a banquet, and the Wen family and the Guo family were accompanied by celebrities. One of the Guo family's children commented that Daidi and even Hedong, Fortunately, there is the King of Handan, so it is prosperous.

From a certain point of view, this evaluation is not an exaggeration. Li Shan almost restored the prosperity of Daizhou by himself. The development of trade routes activated the entire Hedong Road. Pushing the battle line outside of Yanmen Pass finally brought peace to Hedong.

It is not an exaggeration, because at this time in history, the Tang Dynasty still placed the main force of the army in Bingzhou, and Jieli Khan even joined forces with Tuli Khan to break through. Drinking horses in the Yellow River.

"Huiren has lost weight." Yuwen Shiji, who was the first to speak, didn't say those stereotypes, "It's quite weathered."

Li Shan has recovered from his injuries for more than two months, but the impact of this war on him may not fade away in this lifetime.

"We will be crowned next year." Chai Shao said with a smile, looking carefully, although he still had a gentle smile on his face, as a famous general, Chai Shao was keenly aware of the sharpness in that smile.

"Silang's letter, Huairen looks like jade, and in the battle, it is as sharp as a sword." Wen Yanbo looked at Su Dingfang, Wang Junhao and others behind Li Shan, and said softly: "Your Majesty ordered a feast for Huairen today." Gong, Ding Fang and Jun Hao went to the banquet together."

Li Shan was a little surprised. Although the big break against the Turks was of great significance, this kind of treatment was still too grand. Maybe it was compensation for his own request to return to the court?
