Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

It's already night, and the dark road can't see anything. You can only stare at the figure in front of you, and you can even judge by the sound of footsteps. Fortunately, it is close to Xiaoguan. Like the east of Rushui River.

But the terrible thing is that the wind and snow became heavy again, and the fire could not be ignited. In fact, the fire could not be ignited. The march mainly relied on the silver light cast by the bright moon that was still hanging above the head before, but now even this light is gone.

Li Shan slipped and fell into the mud. After being lifted up by Liu Heier, he couldn't help cursing. He ran to 100 meters after 99 meters. At the last moment, God came to make trouble again!

"How far is it?" Li Shan yelled at the top of his voice, but he didn't dare to open his mouth wide for fear of being choked by the wind, which seemed strange.

"It shouldn't be far away..." Liu Heier once garrisoned at Xiaoguan for a while, "There are about seven or eight miles along this road."

As long as you don’t go wrong, Li Shan shouted back and continued to follow the figure in front of you. Now the traffic is all about walking, communication is all about roaring, and the sound of the wind is all around your ears. You can only use this primitive way To ensure that the soldiers do not get separated to the greatest extent.

Seven miles away from here, Fan Shiyi and Huangfuzhong carefully approached the dark city wall with a few scouts. There was a faint light at the top of the city. It should be that the defenders were lighting a fire to keep warm, but the rest of the place was dark.

"West or East?"

"West side." Huangfu Zhong whispered: "You can sneak up on the city wall over there, and there is a straight road leading to the city gate, but there should be a row of houses beside that straight road, and there are Liang soldiers inside."

Regarding the inside story of Xiaoguan, Huangfu Zhong didn't know much about it, but he was a local after all. Now four of Guyuan's seven passes are in the hands of Tang Jun, and three of the five counties have been recovered. He can find enough people to learn more about it.

"Such a heavy snowstorm..." Fan Shiyi touched the dagger at his waist, "At least there should be no Liang Jun on duty at the top of the city."

"Definitely not." Huangfu Zhong licked his dry lips, "The cold can freeze them to death, let alone who would have thought that there would be an enemy attack!"

Indeed, although there are no thermometers in this era, Fan Shiyi can feel that although it is only three days, it is much colder than before, and there is such a strong wind, no matter how elite the army is, it is difficult to ensure that there are no thermometers on the city walls. Soldiers are on duty late at night.

The two took three or four scouts to the west, first looked at the city wall from a distance, and then slowly approached. There were only bare flagpoles on the city wall, and there was no one at all.

"The wind is too strong, and the rope can't be thrown up." Huangfu Zhong said in a low voice, "But the city wall is only so high, and you can climb up it with a human wall."

The regimes of the Central Plains in the past dynasties built important gates here to resist the invasion of barbarians, so the city wall on the north side is quite tall, while the city wall on the south side is not high, which also has a certain relationship with the terrain.

Fan Shiyi turned his head and looked at the gate of the city which was obscured by the wind and snow, nodded and said: "It's not too far away, as long as we can send 50 people up, take a well-stringed crossbow, and bring a knife, It will definitely reach the city gate."

"As long as the city gate can be opened..." Huangfu Zhong whispered excitedly: "I heard that His Highness has won many times in the wind and snow, and this time will be no exception!"

Fan Shiyi glanced sideways at Huangfu Zhong, and said with a smile, "You can find out clearly."

Indeed, Feng Xue seems to have an indissoluble bond with Li Shan, which may be one of the reasons why Li Shan made up his mind.

At this moment, inside Xiaoguan, a mansion on the west side is brightly lit.

The hall is warm and welcoming. The tables are filled with various dishes, wine jars, and charcoal basins can be seen everywhere. The big man sitting on the main seat is baring his chest covered with black hair, and there is still a trace of wine on it, laughing loudly Said: "It's really good wine, good wine!"

"It is said that Li Huairen has learned a lot. He is not only good at making wine, but also the famous Dongshan Restaurant in Chang'an." A strong man below said loudly while gnawing on a large piece of mutton: "In the future, I will be able to make a wine for Your Majesty. cook!"

The big man on the main seat was Feng Duan, the commander of the Xiaoguan Liang Army, and laughed after hearing this: "Good idea, good idea!"

"Hahaha, it is said that the King of Handan is a famous general in the world, the name is not true!" The strong man threw down the sheep bones that had not been chewed clean, "If you choose this time to send troops to Guyuan, you will definitely lose miserably!"

Feng Duan picked up the wine cup with a smile, looked at the dozen or so generals below, shook his head and said: "That guy Li Huairen is not stupid, he sent troops suddenly in the cold winter months with Li Zhengbao as his internal response, intending to take that city down."

"Who would have thought that King Xia would have noticed it long ago!" A slightly older general laughed and said, "At this time, he is trapped outside the city by heavy snow, unable to advance, unable to retreat, maybe King Xia can capture Li Huairen!"

Feng Duan looked at Xin Liao'er, who had been keeping silent all this time, only eating meat and not drinking, "The first victory in this battle should be King Xia, but the second victory will be brother Xin."

Xin Liaoer smiled and waved his hands, "Brother Suo has been holding back the Tang army for many days, how can it be my turn?"

"They all made great achievements, they all made great achievements!" Feng Duan laughed and said, "In two days' time, when the wind and snow calm down, the reinforcements will go south... I'm afraid that the Tang army will not survive this battle!"

Others echoed loudly, "If Li Huairen can be captured alive and sent to Wuyuan County..."

Xin Liao'er lowered his head slightly, with an inexplicable feeling in his heart, a little contempt, a little suspicious, and a little worried.

After the prisoner exchange, Xin Liaoer immediately informed Liang Luoren and gained full trust. Afterwards, he returned to Lingzhou to meet Liang Shidu, and was finally dispatched to Xiaoguan.

Turning around several places in a row, Xin Liaoer could clearly feel the fear within the Liang army towards the Handan King of the Tang Dynasty. After all, it is said that tens of thousands were killed in battle alone, and even a large number of cattle and sheep scattered in the eastern part of Wonju were abandoned.

How can such a record not scare Liang Jun, who is attached to the Turks?
Xin Liaoer could even feel the fear in Liang Shidu's heart. Without Turk's assistance, could he still be Tang Jun's opponent?
Just over three months ago, Guan Guogong Ren Gui made Master Liang realize this fact. Without Turks, Master Liang is nothing.

However, the Turkic defeat was so miserable that the King of Handan led his army to the north in the future... Such emotions filled the army, Xin Liaoer had to agree with Li Shan's point of view, the Turkic defeat, the Liang army must be unstable.

But in the past few days, good news came one after another. The Tang army suddenly attacked Nanguan Town on a large scale, and fought with Suozhou more than ten miles north of the city. Guyuan.

Feng Duan relaxed after being tense for a while, Suo Zhou beheaded Li Zhengbao, the Tang army's nephew, fought against the Tang army in Luojiatuo, and then retreated to that city, while Liang Luoren led the army to fight Guo Xiaoke, and great battles broke out in both places.

And here is what Xin Liaoer was suspicious of.
