Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 79 Talking about Cao Cao

Li Shan naturally had to make some preparations for the expedition to Hebei with the army. For this reason, he brought Zhou Zhao who was relatively familiar with Hebei Road, and also asked Li Kai, Fang Yizhi and others for advice.

Shuangshiluo, the director of Dingzhou, was originally the second guard on the right of the Qin Palace. It was left behind by Li Shimin when he conquered Hebei at the beginning of the year. He has been sticking to Dingzhou for the past two months, but he was defeated in the end.

To the north of Dingzhou is the sphere of influence of the Turks, to the east is Yizhou, which was captured by Liu Heita in August, and to the northeast is Youzhou.

As soon as Li Shan thought of this, Guo Pu, who was more familiar with the battle situation, asked in a low voice: "The Youzhou army hasn't moved yet?"

"Nature hasn't moved." Li Qianyou sighed faintly from behind.

Guo Pu immediately fell silent, and stood with his head down, pretending to be a wooden stake.

There is a reason for this. Before Li Keshi entered the Qin Palace, he served as a soldier under the command of Luo Yi, the supervisor of Youzhou.

In the third year of Wude, Luo Yi voted for the Tang Dynasty, but he still occupied Youzhou and did not enter the dynasty. Although he was not regarded as a separate party, he still formed his own faction.

Liu Heitai went to war in Yizhou and Dingzhou not far from Youzhou, but Luo Yi never sent troops.

Apparently, Liu Heitai also saw this. After defeating Yizhou, he deliberately turned to attack Dingzhou, but the director of Dingzhou, Shuangshiluo, was too good at defending, and he defended it for more than a month... Now Dingzhou has fallen , It should be Liu Heita who learned the news that King Qi led the soldiers from the Hedong Prefecture to help.

Without Li Qianyou continuing to explain, Li Shan immediately understood the reason why Li Yuanji and Han Liang were almost scolding each other.

Li Shimin's previous expedition to Hebei left behind a lot of old troops. Han Liang, as a member of Tiance Mansion, naturally hoped that Li Yuanji would lead his troops northward as soon as possible.

And Han Liang's reason was Li Yuanji's reason for not moving.

Let's fight, let's fight, it's better to kill them all, or lose both... I'll take advantage of it.

"The soldiers of the Hedong Mansion went south through Taihang Xing, from the Eastern Shaanxi Road to the Hebei Road. Everyone knows this path..."

"shut up!"

This was the first time Li Shan heard Li Yuanji's voice, it was a bit sharp, he turned his head, and saw through the gap between the people that Li Yuanji had already drawn the knife in his hand.

Han Liang was not afraid, but took a step forward, obviously saying... If you have the ability, you can chop it with a knife!
Li Yuanji's eyes were flickering. If he cared who you were a few years ago, he might have cut you down... But after experiencing the Luoyang War, he also learned to control his temper.

"Zhongliang's statement is absurd." Li Sixing, who received the most attention from Li Yuanji in the Qi Palace, came out and said, "It was ordered by the sage to go south through Taihang Xing."

Han Liang's face was very ugly, he gritted his teeth and stared at Li Yuanji, then suddenly turned around and left after a while.

Li Shan took two steps to avoid it, thinking about what Han Liang said just now.

Indeed, Liu Heita has been entrenched in Yizhou and Dingzhou, and Li Yuanji really wants to quell the chaos quickly, so he should go to Feihukou and cross the Taihang Mountains to directly enter Dingzhou.

"Let's go." Li Shan said in a low voice, and quickly disappeared with Guo Pu, Zhou Zhao and his entourage... These big people should worry about these troubles.

It's really a dog bites a dog.

Within half a month after making peace with Turkic, the East Palace and the King of Qin had a quarrel over Liu Heitai. In the end, Li Yuan ordered Li Yuanji to send troops... As a result, Liu Heitai captured Dingzhou, and the next one was Pingchuan.

It seems to be for Liu Heitai, but in fact this battle is the battlefield of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's battle for succession.

Shandong Road is the headquarters of Li Shimin, and it is also the source of food and grass for the Tang army in Hebei Road. Li Yuanji, who came to grab the credit but stood idly by, must be rejected...

One word, chaos.

too messy.

Seeing that it was noon, Li Shan didn't live in the barracks, but was arranged in a house on the west side of the county town. The place was quite big, but he couldn't start a business.

He went straight to the barracks to get some food. Li Shan was not picky, and led the crowd around the city wall, thinking in his heart, no wonder Li Jiancheng led the troops to attack Liu Heita, and Li Yuanji's ability was really a bit... …

Dingzhou was captured, and he didn't want to send troops to the north immediately, but sat on a large army and didn't move. This is something a fool can do!

If you want to weaken Li Shimin's prestige, if you can't make him defeat Zhan, then you have to let yourself win Zhan to shorten the gap.

Of course, it may also be because Li Yuanji has no confidence.

After all, Liu Heitai in the first two months was like a tiger whose teeth and claws had been pulled out. After the capture of Dingzhou, Li Yuanji suddenly realized that last year Liu Heitai was so powerful that he swept Hebei and almost defeated all but the king of Qin. All other generals.

Li Shan doesn't care about Li Yuanji's advance or retreat, but he is very concerned about what this war can bring to him?
Li Shan didn't have a complete plan, and he wasn't good at making plans. In his previous life, he had no bargaining chips in his hands, and in this life, he still didn't have any real bargaining chips... But ability may change everything.

At least medical skills are useful, abacus is useful, and maybe there are others...

At this moment, Li Shan paused, moved his nose, and opened his mouth to scold.

But someone got ahead of him.

"How dare you drink in the army!"

Li Shan's face darkened, and he turned his head to see a tall middle-aged scholar appearing from the side, and said sharply, "Who are you waiting for?!"

The scene was silent for a while, Zhou Zhao was still holding the wine bag in his hand, and the smell of wine was blowing in the wind.

I met him on the march before, and he was often with Li Sixing, but who is this... Li Shan glanced sideways, and Guo Pu was also at a loss.

Li Shan bit the bullet and stepped forward to salute, "This is not wine..."

The scribe on the opposite side interrupted Li Shan with a mocking laugh... Zhou Zhao suddenly hiccupped.

I'm so wronged, the alcohol in the hospital is really undrinkable... Uh, although the alcohol in the wine is not alcohol.

Everyone in front of the meeting was silent, the middle-aged scribe was furious, waved his hands and reprimanded: "Wait..."

As soon as the two words were said, the voice stopped abruptly, and the face of the middle-aged scribe blushed twice, and then turned pale, and his body was staggering.

Then...then Li Shan put his arms around the middle-aged man speechlessly, well, just now I was still thinking about which of my abilities would be useful, and in the end I still had to rely on my profession.

Two quarters of an hour later, the middle-aged scribe who had added some food regained his sobriety. He turned his head and looked around. This is a small inner room. Although it is not luxurious, it must be in the county seat.

"Are you awake?" Li Shan heaved a sigh of relief, went out and brought in a bowl of porridge, "Talk after drinking."

Seeing the middle-aged scribe hesitate, Li Shan added: "I am practicing medicine, and my disease cannot be short-lived, otherwise I will faint."

"Not bad." The middle-aged scribe said slowly, "What's wrong with this?"

"Diabetes... uh, a type of thirst disorder. You should like sweets."

The middle-aged scribe nodded in acknowledgment and picked up the bowl.

In fact, Li Shan is not sure, but this is the most likely one. Once diabetics control their diet, it is easy to cause hypoglycemia and dizziness.

"Although it's wine, it's really not for drinking." Li Shan sat down beside him and explained patiently, "I'm practicing medicine. This time I'm going out with the army, and I'm going to wash the wound with refined wine, which can keep the wound from rot."

The middle-aged scribe only listened until the bowl of porridge was finished before he said slowly, "Who are you?"

"Li Shan."

Li Shan was straightforward, hesitated for a while and did not ask the other party's name.

In history, quite a few of the officials of Prince Qin's Mansion were familiar to Li Shan. Even the officials of the East Palace also knew the names of some of them.

So this time with the army, Li Shan didn't have much dealings with others. If it was Wei Zheng, he would be interested in this, but the officials of the Qi Palace... Sorry, I don't have much brain capacity.

But Li Shan refused to ask, but the other party insisted on introducing himself.

"The old man went down to the Wei family in Quyang County. His name is Zheng, and his style name is Xuancheng."

Li Shan swallowed. This means Cao Cao, is Cao Cao here?
