Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 942 Preparation

Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo are still criticizing the shamelessness of the Turkic people, playing tricks if they can't beat them, but the two of them are also secretly probing, making indirect remarks... Li Kai can't laugh or cry, do you dare to believe that kind of nonsense?
If Huai Ren is really the prince, how could His Majesty dare to use Huai Ren to lead the army now that he is fighting for the throne?

Li Shan didn't say a word, just thinking in his heart, now Turkic civil strife... It's all messed up, it is said that Turi Khan has a great advantage in the Ashina clan, and even hooked up with Princess Yicheng, The former Sui princess may change her fifth husband.

And Dubu Khan imitated Jieli Khan, and was trying his best to win Tiele and other tribes to fight against, but Ashina Sheer's methods in this regard were much better than Jieli Khan, and it was said that the effect was good.

But under such circumstances, Ashina Sheer still had the heart to find trouble for him. Based on this alone, Li Shan felt that Tuli Khan's chances of winning were not great.

However, we can find out the news that Ashina Sheer intends to use the estrangement. It is obvious that Tuli Khan has hidden eyeliner beside his opponent, and he can find out the specific identity of the dark room. Obviously, the eyeliner is not low. Possibly Ashina Sher's confidant.

Li Shan sincerely hoped that the cousins ​​who fell in love and killed each other would die together.

If he had to pick one, Li Shan hoped that Tuli Khan would stay.

It is not because Tuli Khan was attached to Datang in history, but because Ashina Sheer may not have enough ability and talent, but he is indeed stronger than his opponent in terms of vision and structure.

After Liu Hekai, Gao Kaidao, and Yuan Junzhang either died or surrendered, Liang Shi became the last Chinese warlord force supported by the Turks, and he was also the last buffer zone between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.

Ashina Sheer was released to Wuyuan County at the beginning of the year. After suffering for so long, he asked for help several times in Liang Shidu. When he was about to lose his strength, he suddenly shot and killed Jieli Khan. He turned around and met with Tuli. Khan formed an alliance, and then made a plan to defeat Ren Gui, and captured the three states again.

Obviously, Ashina Sheer, who is well versed in Sinology, sees the future very far. Once China is unified, the grassland will be cut down in the future.

Presumably this Dubu Khan also knew from the history books that China established a powerful empire called "Han" hundreds of years ago, and their founding emperor Han Gaozu Liu Bang was also extremely insulted by the Huns.

The Huns at that time were stronger than the Turks today, and they treated this emerging empire arrogantly, but soon after, they found that among their opponents, Wei Qing, who defeated the Huns and left his name in history; Xu's Huo Qubing; later Chen Tang who threatened that "those who commit crimes against a strong man will be punished even if they are far away";

The Huns, who once dominated the grasslands, maintained their resistance against the Han people for many years, and finally declined, disappeared, and were replaced by other tribes.

Ashina Sheer believed that once the Tang Dynasty was strong, let alone the grasslands, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty might stand on the land of the Western Regions, and the fate of the Turks would not be any better than that of the Huns.

That's why Ashina Sheer chose to act at that time to support Liang Shidu and restrain Datang. Whether it is himself or the Turks, Liang Shidu needs the existence of Liang Shidu.

But Tuli Khan obviously did not have this kind of thinking.

Li Shan faintly felt that perhaps the death of Jieli Khan might not be a good thing for Datang, because a Khan who was stronger and more ambitious than him was on the rise.

While Li Shan was pondering in his heart, while chatting with Wen Yanbo and Dou Gui, Li Daoxuan, who had received a letter from Jingzhong, also rushed over after a while.

"Don't worry, Concubine Wan Gui is sensible and knows the pros and cons." Li Daoxuan said seriously, "When I get back to court, I will call Daosheng and Huairen for my brother."

As a foreign relative, Dou Gui knew the reason, and explained to Li Shan: "When King Huaiyang was young in Hedong County, he was brought up by Concubine Wan Gui, and his affection is extraordinary."

Li Shan nodded with a smile, "Then I'll leave it all to Brother Daoxuan."

"I've already gone to write a letter." Li Daoxuan was somewhat sure about this. His father Li Zhi died early, and his mother also passed away when he was young. He has always followed his cousin Li Yuan and was raised by Concubine Wan Gui. He is very familiar with Li Zhiyun and Wan Xuandao.

"By the way, Lord Yanbo, the Shaofu still refuses to accept, have you sent all the cotton armor?" Li Shan asked casually, "Are there other armors, feather arrows, ordnance?"

"Ordnance and feather arrows were successively checked and put into storage by the former Governor Shi Li Qianyou." Wen Yanbo replied: "But the cotton armor is not a military weapon. I remember it seems to be taken in by Wang Junhao, and it is in the warehouse in Baiquan County."

"That's good, that's good..." Li Shan smiled and nodded, but his eyes wandered a little.

Dou Gui frowned slightly, "When are you going to march?"

"March?" Li Zhaode repeated over and over again, but looking at the people around him, not only Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo, but also Li Kai and Li Daoxuan didn't change their faces, and even Zhang Wenguan was not surprised.

Li Shan smiled, "Zhaode finds it difficult to march?"

"It's snowing so heavily..." Li Zhaode hesitated, "Plus, Guyuan's terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we march at this time, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

Li Shan sighed, the reason is the same, but when he came to this era as a time traveler, the storm that rolled up not only involved himself, but also those historical figures who have left history, and even this era. .

The early civil strife in the Turks, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's inversion of the status of seizing the heir are all greatly influenced by Li Shan himself, the most important thing is Pei Shiju...Princess Pingyang vaguely mentioned in the letter that Pei Shiju secretly invited several famous doctors in the past month, Might not last too long.

One thing is for sure, Pei Shiju will not just die like this, there will definitely be some troubles, Li Shan doesn't know what effect his return to court will play, but how can he watch it helplessly?
But if you want to return to the court, you must have an excuse. Li Shan is going to find a perfect excuse... The most important point is that after he returns to the court, the commander in the army must be his own, even if it is Dou Gui However, Su Dingfang is the only one who can take on the heavy responsibility.

But if he wanted to find a perfect excuse, then the next plan must also be completed perfectly, Li Shan's eyes gradually became firm.

"Lang Jun."

Li Shan turned his head and saw Zhu Ba outside the door, beckoning, "What's the matter?"

"Fan Shiyi is back."

"Are they all back?"

"Yes."

Li Shan couldn't help licking his dry lips, stood up and said with a smile: "Yesterday Zhaode sent a calf, everyone can eat here..."

Li Daoxuan joked, "Did you break your leg again?"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed, Li Shanbai gave Li Daoxuan a look, and asked the guards to take out the grill under the eaves, but he left quietly with Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo.

"Brother Huai, what are you going to do?"

The only one who can ask such a question without any shyness is Li Zhaode with a big mouth. Li Daoxuan and Li Kai on the side looked at each other without saying a word.
