Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 999

"Meet my lord."

"Meet my lord."

Li Shan jumped off his horse, and laughed and cursed at the young men guarding the entrance of the village. Most of the two hundred guards who accompanied him this time returned safely. In fact, before reaching the battlefield, Dubu Khan and Tuli Khan turned around and ran away, and the troops in the battle of Xiaoguan mainly came from the government soldiers of Yanzhou and Daizhou.

Zhu Shi, Zhou Shi, and Xiaoman’s carriages and vehicles carrying all kinds of salutes entered Zhuangzi one by one. Li Shan stayed behind and walked and laughed with everyone. Most of the guards returned to Zhuangzi yesterday, including Wang Junhao, Zhu Ba, A dozen of Zhao Da's personal guards followed, and by the way, there was also Liu Hei'er.

More than four months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhuangzi has changed a lot. Now Sun Moon Lake has a population of nearly [-] households, which is comparable to a small town. Li's house, which was originally located on the west side, has now become the center. On the side is Su's house, on the north side is Ling's house, and there are houses of generals with titles such as Zhou Zhou Lang, Zhang Zhongjian, Hou Hongtao, etc...without exception, no one chose to move to Chang'an City.

Li Shan rode around from the south side on his horse, looked at it from afar, and asked with a smile, "Did you include that village?"

"Well." Zhu Wei nodded and said: "There is really not enough space. The west side is the Forbidden Garden, and the north side is Dongshan. We can only go south. We exchanged the fields on the other side of the Wei River with them, and helped them use red bricks. built a house."

"It's a pity for this river...Brother Dingfang spent a lot of effort that year."

"It's still useful, after all, several big houses are in Hebei." Zhu Wei explained: "The small river on Yuetantong is the outer periphery, and there are also young and strong people stationed there."

While talking, Zhu Wei sized up Liu Heier, thinking that the Hu general that Da Lang had taken over just now had a very vicious vision, and everything he could see was a vital point.

And Liu Hei'er was also a little surprised. It seems to be an ordinary village, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack... The entrance to the east of the village is obviously guarded by young and strong people for a long time, and there are scouts in the dense forest outside, while the south is flat, but There is a river blocking, obviously using Zhuangzi as a fortress.

After looking around, Li Shan asked with a smile, "Ah Hei, if you have five hundred soldiers in your hands, how many days can you defend?"

Liu Heier hesitated for a while, "Food?"

"There is enough food and grass." Zhu Wei asked with great interest: "The soldiers are all wearing armor, at least cotton armor. Horses, spears, and knives are all ready, and there are hundreds of crossbows."

Li Shan glanced at Zhu Wei. Although he had a lot of crossbows when he was leading the army in Daizhou and Yuanzhou, he couldn’t find a hundred crossbows in the personal guards... After all, the world was initially established, and now the people can’t help but use weapons or even armor. , but the crossbow is strictly forbidden.

Liu Heier looked around and said in a deep voice after a while: "Hundreds of enemy troops are hard to break, more than a thousand enemy troops are enough to defend for ten days, and two thousand enemy troops can also defend for three to five days."

Li Shan nodded with a smile. This scale is about the same as Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian's estimate, "Seventh Uncle, when Zhuangzi's defense is handed over to Ah Hei, let him have a look at the roster, so that he has an idea."

"Ah."

Li Shan thought in his heart, if there are a large number of enemy troops attacking, it means that Li Shimin has already lost...and is dead.

If Li Jiancheng succeeds, even if Pei Shiju is inside, if Li Shimin is not dead, there will not be a large number of enemy troops to attack Sun Moon Lake... Cutting off Li Shimin's head must be Li Jiancheng's first goal.

As long as Sun Moon Lake can be guarded and Pei Shiju is not allowed to cause the truth, Li Shan does not believe that the old fox has the ability to kill him... Let Princess Pingyang do the nonsense.

Of course, if Li Shimin is really dead, then Li Shan's future must be bleak...Maybe he will find a chance to escape to the south in desperation to live on.

In fact, Li Shan wanted to use this place to bring Liu Heier back to Chang'an. Wang Junhao couldn't do the defense of Sun Moon Lake, but Liu Heier insisted on Nanguan Town that day, and the choice of location and opportunity has its own unique features, so it is the most suitable .

Zhu Wei took a deep look at Liu Heier, and said in a low voice: "Since His Highness trusts you more than you, you should be responsible for leading the personal guards, and you must not slack off."

"I wish to guard Li's house." Liu Heier's answer was both straightforward and decisive.

Yesterday in Lingyan Pavilion, Liu Heier witnessed with his own eyes how Tang Huang believed in his master, and could see Tang Huang's rejection of the Jihu clan, but he still complied with Jihu's oral administration, and even allowed the mutual market.

"I ordered you to be guarded that day, that's for your peace of mind." Li Shan got off his horse, walked along the canal in the village, greeted the passing villagers from time to time, and said with a smile: "There are also bandits in Jingzhao. It is your credit to be able to keep Zhuangzi."

"When the war is settled, Qu Silang should be able to return to the personal guards. At that time, you can serve in the sixteenth guards. It's hard to be a general, but it shouldn't be difficult to be a Zhonglang general."

"After all, the Jihu clan has just joined. Although you have made great achievements in breaking Xiaoguan, after all, the battle on Tiantai Mountain before..."

"It should be given a title, but it won't be too high."

Liu Hei'er followed behind, but kept responding, Wang Junhao on the side smiled and said: "Those who were able to enter the Lingyan Pavilion yesterday, should all be able to be conferred or promoted, right?"

"Brother Junhao is already the county magistrate, and Zhou Zhoulang is the magistrate." Qi Laosan pointed his fingers, "It's the turn of the little brother and Fan Shiyi this time."

"At that time, you will be able to build a big house." Li Shan said with a smile, as a default.

Speaking of which, Qi Laosan is also quite unlucky. He has been with Li Shan for a long time. It is almost the second batch. Making red bricks and making horseshoes did not catch up with the battle of the year before last, and the battle of Tiantai Mountain last year did not show up. Qu Silang and Hou Hongtao took the lead.

In fact, if it wasn't because Qu Silang and others stayed in the army this time, Qi Laosan might not have been able to enter Lingyan Pavilion with Li Shan.

After looking around everywhere, Li Shancai turned around and went home. Most of the house has been completed, the main building is fine, and it is ready for people to live in. Only the corners and corners still need to be repaired. The main part that is not finished is the front yard and the back yard. Two gardens.

But even so, because the drawings were drawn by Li Shan at the earliest, he did not have the characteristics of the times, and he mixed in all the gardens he had visited in later generations. In the eyes of later generations, it is really messy, but at this time it is unconventional... ...And such exquisite garden-style buildings were actually rare in the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially in Guannei.

After Li Shan went to war, they mainly took over from the prisoner. They thought they were perfect, but in Li Shan's opinion... it was a bit rusty.

Li Shan felt a little regretful, but Liu Hei'er, a country bumpkin born in the grassland, was dazzled by it... Walking into the winding corridor on the small lake, he didn't know how to step.
