Bullshit

Five or six miles away from the county seat of Dai County, in a medium-sized village, seven or eight red-brick houses are dotted in it, which is quite eye-catching from a distance.

The group of people entered the village on horseback and dismounted in front of a house. Li Shan smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Although he had seen the trading market called Beishi in Dai County, Yuan Xiaozheng was still greatly surprised because he had been here three days ago... In other words, seven or eight new houses were completed in just three days. Although considering

There is no need to lay a foundation, but the speed is really terrifying.

The village elders and two or three young people came forward to greet them. Li Shan said a few words and then asked: "Measure the fields, how much is left?"

A young man stepped forward and saluted, saying, "About four hundred acres."

Four hundred acres are abandoned fields around this village.

Li Shan recognized this man and learned arithmetic from him. Later, he was assigned to measure the entire county's fields. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're not going to start farming again, are you?"

"About two to five years." The young man shook his head and said, "Originally, it was all high-grade farmland. It only takes a few years to take good care of it."

Li Shan laughed, turned around and asked, "What do you think of Xiao Zheng?"

"Ding Guo granted him twenty acres of land and tax exemption for three years." Yuan Xiaozheng looked at the few followers who followed him, and two of them were quite interested.

Li Shan nodded at the two people, "Just the two of you. Although you have to go back to Yunzhou with Xiaozheng, I made an exception and asked you to register in advance."

"Thank you..." The two hesitated for a moment, then changed their words: "Thank you Mingfu."

If he calls himself Mingfu, then he has accepted the request.

The group of people entered the house, some looked at the house, and some looked at the fields outside the village. Li Shan and Yuan Xiaozheng found a place to sit down.

"We are about to set off tomorrow. There are some things... I would like to ask, my teacher." Li Shan whispered, "If Xiaozheng is inconvenienced, there is no need to force it."

"Master Li, please ask." Yuan Xiaozheng was beating a drum in his heart. Isn't it about Gao Manzheng?

Attacking Shuozhou and retaking Mayi was the bottom line set by his father. Moreover, his eldest brother was killed by Gao Manzheng, so he had to avenge this.

Well, Li Shancai is too lazy to take care of Gao Manzheng. That guy is essentially no different from Yuan Junzhang.

Li Shan paused and said slowly: "In the battle of Mayi, Duke Yuan was defeated. I heard that only two thousand Turks came to help?"

"Yes, only two thousand Qingqi."

"Although I am the first to go to Daizhou, I also know how important Mayi is." Li Shan frowned and said: "Yuan Gong was defeated in mid-August. It was not until recently that he decided to raise his troops and go south again. It has been more than a month..."

"And in previous years, August and September were the time when the Turks invaded the south. Why..."

This is a big doubt that haunts Li Shan. As a time traveler, he made some guesses. The caravan left the fortress and asked Fan Shiyi to inquire about it, but nothing was gained... Why did the Turks give up?

Yuan Xiaozheng breathed a sigh of relief and explained in a low voice: "In early August, Tuli Khan arrived in Wuyuan County."

Li Shan's eyes flashed. He had been thinking before that it was either Xue Yantuo or Tuli Khan, and it was indeed the case.

"Three generations of Turks passed down from brother to brother. The first Khan passed away in the second year of Wude. His son Shibobi was sixteen years old that year. In the end, Chuluo Khan came to the throne." Yuan Xiaozheng is familiar with these. After all, he is dependent on the Turks.

It's impossible not to take this into consideration, as many family treasures said: "It was originally a harmonious relationship, but Chuluo Khan died suddenly more than a year later. Shi Bobi wanted to inherit the throne, but..."

"But he was usurped by Jieli Khan." Li Shan said: "But this Shibobi also established a separate Tuli Khan?"

"Yes, Shibi Khan has been in power for ten years. Chuluo Khan and Shibi Khan are very close. However, Jieli Khan forced his way to the throne. Many tribes were dissatisfied, so they had no choice but to make Shibo Bi the Tuli Khan."

Yuan Xiaozheng shook his head and said: "Since then, there have been constant disputes among the Turks, and there is a faint sign of fragmentation."

Li Shan pondered for a moment, compared it with the past life memories in his mind, and suddenly asked: "You mentioned that Tuli Khan returned to Wuyuan County before, where did he go before?"

"Tuli Khan is the junior khan, in charge of the Khitan, Mohe and other tribes. His Yating is connected to Youzhou in the south." Yuan Xiaozheng explained: "Last year, Liu Heitai came back again, and Jieli Khan ordered Tuli Khan to send troops.

I went south to help, but the latter flatly refused."

Li Shan thought about it in his mind. If Youzhou was liberated from the south, that would mean that Tuli Khan's territory was in the north of Hebei Province. This man refused to go south last year, so Tuli Khan sent Ashina Sheer and

The Valley of Desire is located in Shandong.

Yuan Xiaozheng thought for a while and continued: "Two months ago, Tuli Khan returned to Wuyuan County. It was said...it was said that he was trying to win over the tribe. Jieli Khan was furious about this and almost..."

"Win over the tribe..." Li Shan muttered a few words, which did not fit well with the image of Tuli Khan in his impression.

It is mentioned in the history books that although Tuli Khan followed Jieli Khan to invade the south several times, in general, being close to the Tang Dynasty... now it seems that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Li Shan thought for a moment and then asked: "How to choose between the descendants of Chubi Khan and Chuluo Khan?"

"Everyone has his own choice." Yuan Xiaozheng coughed twice, "For example, Ashina She'er, the second son of Chuluo Khan, is attached to Jieli Khan, and the third son Yusheshe is close to Tuli Khan."

He fell into a long thought again. After a long time, Li Shancai asked in a low voice: "Did you know that Tuli Khan and the King of Qin are old friends and are considered brothers."

"What?" Yuan Xiaozheng's eyes widened.

"You don't know?" Li Shan smiled nonchalantly, "Go back and ask your father. Mr. Yuan may know."

Yuan Xiaozheng was submissive and speechless for a moment.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside. Zhao Daji stepped inside and reported in a low voice, "Lang Jun, there is someone from Yunzhou."

Li Shanyue guessed something and just nodded. Yuan Xiaozheng quickly got up and went out.

After a while, Yuan Xiaozheng came back with an ugly face, "Master Li, my father called me back."

Needless to say, Yuan Junzhang must have been preparing to send troops. At this time, troops may have already been sent.

"Yes." Li Shan stood up and held Yuan Xiaozheng's hand, "I need to think more about the collection of poems I gave you. If there are any fragments, I can ask someone to bring them."

Yuan Xiaozheng was a little excited, "Master Li, don't worry, my father has promised that there will be no trouble for the caravan when it leaves the fortress... Ashina Sheer has promised before that even the Turks will not be in trouble."

In fact, Li Shan, who is still a few years younger, put on a supportive attitude, "With you, I will feel at ease as my teacher."

Yuan Xiaozheng's lips moved and he hesitated for a while before whispering: "Master Li..."

"Don't worry, I'll keep the house for you, grant the land tax, and I won't break my promise." Li Shan said with a smile: "You have also seen that Dai County is full of waste and is in need of development, and it is most in need of population."

Yuan Xiaozheng gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and whispered in Li Shan's ear, "Yugushe, the son of Jieli Khan, and Yusheshe, the third son of Chuluo Khan, led tens of thousands of troops to assist Shuozhou."

Li Shan's expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "One is the son of Jieli Khan, and the other is Yu Sheshe, who is close to Tuli Khan... It seems that Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan have made peace."

It is impossible to make peace, and we will never make peace in this life, but it is very likely that it is the common understanding of both parties, or that Jieli Khan could not tolerate the Tang army gaining a foothold in Mayi and chose to give in.

The situation of leading troops to attack Mayi.

Li Shan didn't seem to care, and just sent Yuan Xiaozheng away with a smile. The caravan had already set off the day before yesterday. The caravans of the aristocratic families...the others were still able to endure it, but the three caravans of the Wenxi Pei family

We left Yanmen a few days ago.

Li Shan was not too worried about this aspect. As long as the Turkic leader was not broken in his mind, he would not do such a thing as looting the caravan, and Yuan Junzhang was even less afraid.

But with the help of tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers, can Gao Manzheng be able to defend Mayi?

If it cannot be defended, can Yanmen be safe?

Everything Li Shan did was based on the Turks not breaking Yanmen.

Mayi and Yanmen are not suitable for each other, but without Mayi, the Turks will be able to use the road to attack Yanmen calmly next year.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, Li Shan frowned. He first asked someone to send a message to Li Gaoqian, then discussed with Ma Zhou for a while and made up his mind to go to Guo County immediately.

Liu Shirang, the Marquis of Yiyang County, is currently leading troops to garrison in Nao County. He is the direct person in charge of the command of the sage Li Yuan to manage Mayi.

Li Shan's riding skills are not good now, but he is still passable. However, he galloped from Dai County to the horse, changing horses without changing people. It was almost dusk when he arrived at Guo County.

After entering the city gate, Li Shan went straight into the county government office.

"Guantao County Duke?"

The gatekeeper was Liu Shirang's personal guard, who had been diagnosed and treated by Li Shan in Mayi just over a month ago. He stopped in front of him with an ugly expression, "Li Langjun..."

Li Shan was too lazy to talk, and was about to ask Wang Junhao, who was accompanying him, to push him away when a loud shout rang out in the hall not far away.

"Old man, how dare you do this!"

Li Shan's expression changed, and he grabbed the guard's collar, "Who is inside?"

The guard's face turned pale and he turned his head to look inside, "It's the manager of Bingzhou..."

It turned out to be Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi and the general manager of Bingzhou. Li Shan was really in trouble now. This man and Liu Shirang were mortal enemies. Why was there such a quarrel here at such a critical time?!

After waiting for a while, there was still a lot of shouting and cursing inside, and the sound of tables falling to the ground and bowls falling to the ground could be heard. Li Shan finally couldn't help it anymore, motioning for the others to stay behind, and stepped inside alone.

Standing at the door, with the dim candlelight, Li Shan saw clearly what was happening inside... He was stunned. Liu Shirang's bun was messy, and he was wrestling with a middle-aged man. Both of them were blushing and thick-necked.

Uh, both hands are pinching each other's neck. Can you not blush and feel thick?

Although Liu Shirang was a bit older, he still had the upper hand and forced Li Shenfu down. Unfortunately, he was too old and his body was not flexible. After Li Shenfu fell to the ground, he kicked Liu Shirang away with a rabbit kick.

Hey, when Li Shan came to this era, he had never seen such a fight... It seemed familiar to him, and he was even a little eager to try it. He recalled the glorious past... When he was in high school, he himself had such bad fights every day.

.

The two people inside were still tearing at each other, but Li Shan actually stood there in confusion for a while before he realized what he was doing, and he coughed twice.

"Get out!" Li Shenfu shouted angrily.

What a coincidence, Liu Shirang also shouted angrily, "Get out!"

"Get out?" Li Shan walked in and sneered: "Are you two talking about yourself?"

Li Shan was standing there, while Liu Shirang and Li Shenfu were rolling around on the ground...
