Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 944

"Today on the 24th, take Nanguan on the 27th, and take that city on the 28th, how good is that?"

"All according to His Highness's arrangement." The young man said respectfully.

Li Shan forced a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "That's the deal, rest for one night, and start tomorrow."

"Yes."

Seeing the back of Liu Erlang's departure, Li Shan's smile became a little miserable. Although his previous career made him respect life, he thought he was not a soft-hearted person, but he had many feelings...Duckweed in troubled times, life and death are not in control .

Dou Gui was quite open about this, he was already bloodthirsty, "Liu's eldest son serving Liang is a capital crime."

The Liu family is considered a rich family in Guyuan, but it is just a wealthy family in the countryside. Counting three generations, there is only one county lieutenant. .

Master Liang has occupied Huizhou, Lingzhou, and Yuanzhou for more than half a year, and has won the hearts of many people. Although most of them were forced to do nothing, the imperial court will definitely deal with it after the war. Shan and Huangfu were loyal and survived, but the Liu family... might become that chicken.

Wen Yanbo looked at Huangfu Zhong who was bowing his head in silence, "I should encourage you as a gift."

Huangfu Zhong saluted and replied: "You should do your best."

How could Huangfu Zhong not know, his father refused to vote for his family's life back then, how could Li Zhengbao change his mind now because of Li Zhengbao's few words, and even risked secretly communicating with the King of Handan, intending to cooperate internally and externally?
Perhaps the family can be preserved if the Liu family's eldest son is an official in Liang, but this time the second son of the Liu family has put his head under the knife when he returns to Guyuan. If the Liang army is defeated in the future, the entire Liu family may be liquidated.

The meaning of Wen Yanbo's words is obvious. No matter what the reason is, Huangfu Li has completely rebelled against Tang. Huangfu Zhong must do his best to help the Tang army regain Yuanzhou and defeat the Liang army. Only then can Huangfu Li not be liquidated, and Huangfu's family can be guaranteed The lintel does not fall.

After a brief silence, Li Shan got up and said softly, "Beat the drums and gather the generals."

After two months of waiting, it's finally time to start.

The goose feather snow is still falling, even if someone is responsible for cleaning the snow on the roads in the barracks, but the ground is still thick, so that the knights can't hear the sound of horseshoes.

But soon, with the passage of time, the lieutenant generals gradually gathered in the tent of the Chinese army. Of course, this is just a title, because Li Shan built the barracks with red bricks, which is actually a fairly spacious hall.

Li Shanduan sat at the top seat, and on the left and right were the deputy commander-in-chief Dou Gui and chief shi Wen Yanbo. Both of them had solemn faces and unswerving expressions, and the lower ones were Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, and Su Dingfang, the Duke of Zhao.

Many generals visited the two sides one by one, Xue Wanche poked Feng Li's back and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Feng Li shook his head slightly, and Duan Zhixuan beside him said in a low voice, "Isn't it a coaching change?"

Ma Sanbao and Zhang Shigui in front looked back, obviously everyone was well informed and knew what happened in Chang'an.

Of course, there were also those who were not well informed, such as Zhang Zhongjian who had no foundation in the court except Li Shan, this one just heard the rumors about Chang'an, and couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will trust you." Qu Silang comforted in a low voice, "Besides, Uncle Seven just said that, Your Majesty bestows a fine horse and brocade robe."

Uh, the chairman of the later club supports the head coach, which is usually a sign of the latter's dismissal... Zhang Zhongjian also understands this truth, so he can't help but feel even more worried.

Su Dingfang is now the Duke of Dai, and he is the General of the Sixteenth Guards. He is regarded as a famous general, while Wang Junhao and Qu Silang have no intention of career. Tang, and joining Li Shan's command, is nothing more than to make contributions, and he also knows that if the commander-in-chief is changed, it means that the court is afraid, and the successor may not use him because of suspicion.

Li Shan glanced over the faces of each general, some of whom he was familiar with, and some of whom he was not familiar with, but most of them left their names in history and were praised by future generations.

My first thought when I came to this era was to leave my name in history. In my previous life, I had no possibility of this kind of possibility in the modern society with clear division of labor. But here, I have this opportunity. , and it has already been done.

Following Li Shan's gaze, the slightly noisy hall gradually quieted down, everyone closed their breaths and concentrated, and could not hear any sound.

Three months ago, Li Shan was ordered to lead the army to go out, so he had to transfer his direct descendants and old troops from the Beiya Forbidden Army, and even transferred Zhang Shigui and Xue Wanche from Daizhou to ensure his control over the army.

But after the first battle in Jingzhou, Li Shan had completely established his prestige in the army. Even without the support of Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, and Zhang Shigui, the generals would bow their heads and obey them.

Li Shan got up slowly, and raised his voice: "I have been stationed for a long time, and I have made up my mind. All of you will gather under your command and send troops tomorrow."

Most of the people in the hall were stunned and looked at each other in blank dismay. For the past two months, they had been making small noises. After the heavy snowfall, they even stationed troops and did not move. However, when the Chinese New Year was about to start and the snow was still heavy, they suddenly sent troops. This is really surprising.

For others, this is very unexpected, but for Zhang Zhongjian, it is good news, at least not a coaching change.

But Zhang Zhongjian couldn't help frowning after his mood stabilized. Now it's really not the time to start a war. Hu Yan, the governor of Ningzhou, has come out more and more, and said loudly: "There are gossips in Beijing, but your majesty bestows a horse and a brocade robe. Your Highness does not need to rashly send troops to prove himself."

Regarding the gossip and rumors in Beijing, many generals are actually most concerned about the line "The King of Handan stands still and supports his own self-respect."

Since ancient times, the leading generals have been most afraid of this kind of thing. As soon as rumors come out, Li Shan will send troops, and it is in such a season, so Hu Yan and others can't help but think so.

Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "Zizhong's words are wrong. Everyone in the world knows that there is no opportunity to send troops. This is a good opportunity."

Uh, Wen Yanbo is good enough to be prime minister, but military strategy is not his forte. It was also the year in history that he served as the marching chief of Hedong Road, Guan Guogong, Ren Gui. Wen Yanbo was captured by the Turks.

Hu Yan said with a sneer: "Liang Jun is located on Liupan Mountain and is condescending. Once he sends troops, it will be difficult to hide his tracks."

What Wen Yanbo meant was that no one would have thought that troops would be dispatched. This was a good opportunity, but Hu Yan pointed out that when the army was dispatched, Liang Jun, who not only occupied the defensive terrain but also had the advantage of climbing high and looking far, would definitely find out quickly that it was impossible. Play the role of a surprise soldier.

Zhang Zhongjian rubbed his nose, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Su Ding's face remained unchanged, thinking that his lord should have other plans.

"Zizhong is a veteran general on the battlefield, so what he said is not bad." Li Shan said with a smile: "The surrendered general Li Zhengbao secretly communicated that he intended to dedicate the city and the three towns of Nanguan, Pingfeng, and Honghe. Not to be lost."

Dou Gui and Wen Yanbo frowned slightly, but they didn't expect Li Shan to speak so frankly.

There was some commotion among the generals below. Most of them remembered the name Li Zhengbao. After all, the prisoners were changed not long ago. The most important thing to attack Guyuan is the city area. An advantage, after all, the transmission of news and the speed of Liang Jun's reinforcements will all be affected.
