Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 956

Li Shan is not slow to eat, this is a habit left over from the rotation in the emergency department in his previous life. He wiped the fish soup with the steamed bun, and Li Shan's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.

Except for Duan Decao, the rest are his neighbors who followed him all the way, Zhang Zhongjian, Wang Junhao, Qu Silang, He Fang, Hou Hongtao, Fan Shiyi, Zhou Zhoulang, Qi Laosan, and the newly recovered Liu Heier.

Li Shan did not see their names in the history books, including Zhang Zhongjian, but this life will change, and it will definitely. If the historical track returns to the original track after 200 years, whether it is Liu Yan, Zhao Ying, Or Song Qi and Ouyang Xiu, they should write biographies for some of them.

His eyes fell on a young man on the right who was devouring food, Li Shan smiled and said, "Don't worry if you are serious, there is still time."

"Yes."

But I forgot that other people did not leave their names in the original history books, but Liu Rengui was different. However, this young man also became famous decades in advance. Li Shan remembered the letter from Chang'an Yang Siyi, who mentioned that the king of Handan was carrying the banner of the Chinese army. Mention Liu Rengui's name.

Putting the last mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, Li Shan chewed slowly, waited for everyone to finish eating, then got up and said: "The march and retreat in this battle will be presided over by Zhang Zhongjian, with Wang Junhao and Duan De as assistants."

The three stood up to receive the order without saying anything.

"All arranged?" Li Shan looked to his side.

"I dare not say that everything is safe, but everything has been properly arranged." Huangfu Zhong seemed very confident, "Please be the vanguard."

Li Shan glanced down at the first place, Zhang Zhongjian took a step forward, "Your step and Fan Shiyi scout out the way forward."

Huangfu Zhong bowed and said yes, he knew very well that he would most likely be the vanguard with Duan Decao, but he couldn't win the qualification to lead the army.

Li Shan put his hands on the case and slowly got up, "But please do your best, this battle is successful, and the Liang thief will be wiped out soon, why is your majesty rewarding you?"

Wang Junhao fell to the ground first, "willing to die for my husband."

Liu Hei'er bowed down with the crowd, still thinking in his heart, what is this King of Handan planning?
"Get ready, we will leave in half an hour."

Liu Heier walked out of the big tent with the flow of people, but was dragged aside by Zhu Ba and Zhao Da.

"The two of us have been with you for a long time, and we will protect you in every battle." Zhu Ba's tone was a little sad, "but one is lame, and the other is missing an arm..."

Zhao Da bowed and saluted, "I hope I can protect you in this battle."

"What?" Liu Hei'er was stunned, and couldn't help but look back, through the gap where the door curtain was raised and lowered, he could still see the figure pacing back and forth in the tent, "Your Highness... the gentleman wants to lead the army himself ?”

Faced with this question, both Zhu Ba and Zhao Da remained silent.

On the north side of the Chinese army, in more than a dozen huge tents, hundreds of soldiers were densely packed. Duan Decao was arranging for people to distribute all the prepared items one by one, scolding loudly from time to time, and holding A whip.

Liu Hei'er squeezed into the tent with the five newly selected clansmen. Fan Shiyi yelled and stuffed a lot of things.

"Wear it like this." Fan Shiyi dressed Liu Heier himself, still complaining, "Ah Hei, you are too tall and too strong, maybe a little tight, let's just let it go."

It was indeed a bit tight, Liu Heier felt her body was tense, but when she touched it, the tentacles were soft, and when she pressed it again, it seemed that there was something hard embedded in it, "Is this armor?"

"Well, cotton armor."

All the cotton grown in Qianyuan County, Longzhou this year was sent back to Sun Moon Lake, and basically used to make cotton armor, but the Shaofu refused to buy it, and it happened that Li Shan conceived this plan, and sent all of it to the army.

Cotton armor can keep warm, and its resistance is not bad. It can not only prevent arrows, but also has a certain defense against spears because of the inlaid iron pieces. In addition, compared with traditional armor, cotton armor is much lighter in weight and can It enables the soldiers to reduce the load as much as possible, which greatly improves the marching speed and mobility.

"Take off your shoes."

Liu Heier was also straightforward, only glanced at the thick boots that Fan Shiyi was carrying, took off her own shoes, put the thick boots on, tried it on and whispered: "It's a bit tight."

"You are tall, strong, and have big feet!"

Fan Shiyi complained, which made the other five Jihu people couldn't help grinning. Liu Heier couldn't help crying or laughing. She twisted her ankle and looked at it. There seemed to be more than one or two layers of soles, and there seemed to be another layer inside the boots. Lined, very warm.

Putting a bamboo hat on Liu Heier's head, and then draped the long special coir raincoat over the cotton armor, Fan Shiyi led the people in, "Whether to use a knife or a gun, you choose yourself, the other side is useful." Packages wrapped in oiled paper, turn around and take one on your back."

"En." Liu Heier touched the package, and glanced sideways at the dry firewood piled up beside him.

Fan Shiyi took a large bowl and scooped out a big bowl of hot soup from the wooden barrel, and told him, "Everyone has to drink, but don't drink too much."

Liu Heier's nose twitched. The Jihu clan originally attached themselves to the Western Turks and dealt with Hu merchants all the year round, so they could immediately tell that there was a lot of pepper in the hot soup.

What a luxury!
Liu Heier couldn't help but be speechless, pepper is considered one of the most precious goods among the Hu merchants' goods, and the King of Handan is really willing to do so!
"Remember?"

"remember."

Fan Shiyi turned his head and left. Liu Heier began to put on cotton armor for the five clansmen. He was in a hurry for a while, but suddenly there was a loud scolding sound from the other side.

"I told you not to be greedy!" Duan Decao's face was grim, and the whip in his hand fell mercilessly on the soldiers who were rolling on the ground. "Being captured and released, this kind of humiliation, if you don't want to take revenge, go back!"

"Come on, drive this fellow back and replace him with someone else!"

Duan Decao took a deep breath, and roared angrily: "Tell you, the King of Handan knew that we wanted to avenge our hatred, so he chose sharp soldiers from among you and ordered me to lead the army. If you can't avenge your hatred, what face will you have in this life before returning to Yanzhou!"

Liu Hei'er glanced out of the corner of her eyes, kept her hands in motion, but twitched her nose. At the foot of the soldier who was being dragged away, there was a large bamboo tube, from which liquid was gurgling.

After a while, the five of them were all fully dressed and drank several bowls of pepper soup with sea bowls. Naturally, they should drink more of this kind of good stuff.

Over there, Wang Junhao hurried over, "There is still some, don't drink, don't drink."

Grabbing the sea bowl and scooping out the last bit, it happened to be a bowl, Wang Junhao carefully handed it to Li Shan who walked into the tent, "Mr., that's all."

"That's enough." Li Shan, who was also dressed neatly, said with a smile, "A bowl of pepper soup can keep your body warm from the cold, but drinking too much... is not good either."

The corner of Liu Heier's mouth twitched, indeed, drinking too much seemed to be inconvenient during the march.

Waiting patiently for Li Shan to finish his pepper soup, Liu Heier asked in a low voice, "Mr., are you going..."

Li Shan threw the sea bowl into the empty wooden barrel, carried a package on his back, hung the long knife on his waist, and slung a crossbow across his shoulders, buckled the quiver on the other side of his waist, and said with a smile: "Go to Xiaoguan. "

Liu Heier's pupils narrowed slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't seem to find her own voice, it was Xiaoguan, it was Xiaoguan.

At this moment, Liu Heier's mind was extremely chaotic, and the first thought that popped up was that what flowed from the bamboo tube on the ground just now should be Yuhuchun!
Lifting the door curtain, Li Shan was the first to walk out of the big tent, walking firmly to the north, followed by Duan Decao, Zhang Zhongjian, Liu Heier, and then [-] neatly dressed soldiers.
