More than 2,000 cavalry brigade set out from Chang'an, crossed the inner road of the pass, inserted diagonally into the Hedong Road, merged with the soldiers of the Hedong Prefecture, and crossed the Taihang Mountains from Taihangxing.
The Taihang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with hundreds of interconnected ridges, thousands of towering peaks, and thousands of deep ravines. Since ancient times, they have been the natural separation between Hebei, the Central Plains, and the Pass.
There are a total of eight roads leading out of the pass from the Taihang Mountains, collectively known as the "Taihang Eight Paths". Among them, the Taihang Pass is majestic and known as a natural danger, and it is the main passage in the Guanzhong to compete in the Central Plains.
These... Li Shan, who was born in the Central Plains in his previous life and worked hard in Shanghai, naturally knew nothing about it. He was listening with interest to Guo Pu's explanation pointing to the simple map on the ground.
"Tomorrow we will leave Hedong Road, enter Shaanxi East Road, and then go north to Weizhou, Weizhou and Xiangzhou."
"It is said that Liu Heitai is still in the northern part of Hebei Province..." Li Shan muttered, "It seems a bit far away?"
Guo Pu coughed twice. It was true. At least according to the military report, Liu Heitai was still near Dingzhou, nearly a thousand miles away from Weizhou and Xiangzhou.
Li Shan smiled subtly. Li Yuanji obviously did this intentionally, and there may be more than one or two purposes... Maybe the biggest purpose is to reach Shaanxi Road where he will arrive tomorrow.
In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, only the Wude period had the so-called Shaanxi Road. It was set up by Wang Shichong of Luoyang. The Taiwei Qin King Li Shimin also served as the Shangshu Ling of Shaanxi Road. In the first year of Zhenguan, it was abolished and split into Duji Road, Henan Road and Shannan Road.
road.
From Li Shan's point of view, it is almost Henan, Shandong, Hubei and part of Hunan in later generations... Tsk tsk, I really can't blame Donggong for being wary, it's too exaggerated.
In other words, except for Jiangnan, Lingnan, which have not yet been completely pacified, as well as Hedong, Guanzhong and Hebei Road, which Liu Heitai is attacking, other areas in the Tang Dynasty are basically governed by Shaanxi Province.
The East Shaanxi Province was recognized as Li Shimin's basic base... Li Shan vaguely remembered that later, when the struggle for heirs became more intense, Li Shimin once requested to vassal Luoyang, but he failed.
Zhou Zhao on the side was lying on the ground, laboriously drawing a map on a piece of sheepskin with a brush, and asking Guo Pu and Li Shan a few words from time to time.
Although Zhou Zhao claims to have traveled all over the world and knows geography, he cannot be compared with Guo Pu and Li Shan in this regard. The former is a general of the Li family in Longxi. Although the latter has not studied geography carefully, he still knows the general direction, but he has to be in
Exchange the nouns in your mind.
"Finally the painting is finished." Zhou Zhao hit his waist and coughed twice.
Li Shan turned around with a smile and said, "Why don't you give me a pat on the back, sir?"
"What's the matter with this? All we need to do is...hey, don't leave. Just two bites will do!"
After the shopkeeper who once opened a wine shop in Changlepo settled in Zhujiagou, he quickly brewed the so-called Shaochun. Li Shan made a simple purification equipment and produced some liquor. He brought it with him this time for the sake of possibility.
Useful disinfection.
Although he didn't know how much effect it would have... Li Shan thought, some use is better than none. It will only be better, not worse.
Walking away in a leisurely manner, Li Shan recalled in his mind that he had some doubts about whether this person was actually Ma Zhou, the prime minister in white in history...
Li Shan couldn't remember much about Ma Zhou. He only remembered two things. One was that he was the prime minister in white clothes, and the other was that Ma Zhou was recommended to Li Shimin by Chang He.
The steps paused, and the muscles on Li Shan's face became a little stiff. Is this a coincidence?
Chang He was a key figure in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Afterwards, the staff in the government were appreciated by Li Shimin and jumped to the throne... In a similar example, Li Shan only wanted to get Baili Xi.
Thinking of this, Li Shan felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Ma Zhou in history was noticed by Li Shimin at this time and later became Chang He's staff?
Could it be that his own time travel has caused Ma Zhou's life trajectory to change?
Since becoming acquainted with the children of Prince Qin, Li Shan would choose the right time to inquire about certain people.
For example, Zhang Gongjin, who had not joined the Qin Palace before, remembered that in history, this man closed the Xuanwu Gate alone, and his bravery was comparable to that of the Overlord of Western Chu.
For example, Chang He... Li Shan clearly remembered that Cheng Chumo mentioned Chang He more than two months ago.
This man was originally a subordinate of Li Mi in Wagang Village. He surrendered to Wang Shichong and then defected to the Tang Dynasty. Along with Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, he accompanied Li Shimin in his eastward expedition to Luoyang to defeat Liu Heita.
But this does not mean anything. Generals in the early Tang Dynasty who made great military exploits were rarely related to Li Shimin... At least from the current point of view, Chang He was not considered Li Shimin's direct descendant.
Li Shan stood there blankly. Li Dewu glanced at him in the distance and handed the water bag to Rong Jiusi, "Brother Jiusi, is the abacus really made by Li Shan of Dongshan Temple?"
Li Dewu was very patient and did not ask Rong Jiusi about Li Shan until they met again ten days ago.
"It may not have been made by him, but he gave it to everyone." Rong Jiusi took a few sips of water, "He is humble and claims to have some knowledge, but after asking for advice a few times, he is actually proficient in arithmetic."
Li Dewu's cheeks are moving, he is so humble... I don't know him yet?
You claim to be able to fly before you even learn to walk. Is this called humility?
Proficient in arithmetic... You haven't even finished reading nine chapters, how dare you say that you are proficient in arithmetic?
"This person once frustrated Du Ming, the head of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, and later made friends with several descendants of the Li family in Longxi. Li Zhaode, the eldest son of the Qianyou family, was his good friend..."
Li Dewu's face was a little stiff. He heard Li Shan call Li Qianyou uncle. This was no longer an ordinary relationship. He called Li Qianyou brother, but the other party ignored him.
Although he had only returned to Chang'an for a year, Li Dewu had also heard about Du Ruhui's name for a long time. He was a descendant of the Du family in Jingzhao, the first staff member of the Qin Palace, and the first of the eighteen scholars. Everyone praised him as a talent of Wang Zuo.
Such a character suffered a setback at the hands of Li Shan... Li Dewu couldn't bear to look back at Li Shan, who was still thinking hard.
A general shouted greetings from the front, and after an hour's rest, they were about to set off again. Although they were a cavalry group, in fact, most of the time they were leading their horses on foot.
Although Guo Pu repeatedly emphasized that fighting the enemy in battle, riding on the horse is half the life of a knight. Unless it is a long-distance attack, the riding time in a day should not be too long, and it must be taken care of carefully on weekdays, and drinking water and ingredients must be careful.
He even had to get up twice in the middle of the night to feed the horses.
But Li Shan was still very unhappy. He finally got his driver's license. Although it was a Class C driver's license, he couldn't even drive without using gas?!
"This person later had a bad relationship with the Prince of Qin's Palace. One man was able to defeat more than ten children of the Prince of Qin's Palace. Even Wei Chi Gong's eldest son, Wei Chi Baolin, could not survive three encounters."
Hearing what Rong Jiusi said, Li Dewu swallowed his saliva. He had heard of this name before. Yu Chigong was one of the most powerful generals in the world, and he was unparalleled in fighting in battle.
Be at odds with the Prince of Qin’s Mansion…
As soon as this idea passed through Li Dewu's mind, Rong Jiusi continued: "This man has a deep mind and a method, and later turned an enemy into a friend... The soft armor on his body was given by Gao Shilian, the eldest son of Gao Shilian."
"By the way, I heard that Li Shan is also good at medicine."
Li Dewu finally couldn't help but turn his head and look at the back of Li Shan who had already set off, wondering if he should go up and test... something didn't feel right.
As the saying goes, you can see adulthood at the age of three, and you can see old age at the age of ten... If you are not good at writing or martial arts, you will put all your thoughts on your face. When you turn around, the old hen turns into a duck?
He actually has medical skills?
Who taught you this?
As if he felt something, Li Shan, who was holding the horse, looked back with a gentle smile on his face.
The dim-eyed Rong Jiusi smiled and said: "Zhao De once mentioned that Li Shanren lives up to his name and is kind to others."
Li Dewu didn't say a word, and he sensitively felt the slightest chill from that gentle smile.
Leading the horse and joining the team, Li Dewu thought to himself, should he do anything during this expedition to Hebei?
Li Shan, who was walking in the front, thought in his mind, during this expedition to Hebei, he had provoked him several times, would Li Dewu do anything?
