Li Shan did not follow him in, but stood at the Zhuque Gate for a long time, guessing that there was something wrong with Hedong or Guannai Road.
The world has been unified, and it is difficult for small tribes such as Tuyuhun to cause any big troubles. Although the war in Lingzhou has not ended, Liang Shidu alone has no way to save the day.
It can only be Turkic, it can only be Turkic.
There is a generation of famous general Li Yaoshi guarding Daidi. It is unlikely that the Turks will break through. There are Liu Shirang and Zhang Shigui in Shuozhou, and Li Jing has been building many fortresses in the past year. It is also unlikely that the Turks will break through the city. Moreover, Li Kai
It was also mentioned in the letter a few days ago that the number of Turkic cavalry going south was not large, and Zhang Shigui also won two games. It was quite a gain.
It is estimated that it is still the Guan Nei Road. Li Shan thought in his mind that there are many mountains in Guan Nei and there are few plains. The Hu people moved south from the grassland in large numbers. There are probably two routes. One is to conquer Lingzhou, and then go south to Huizhou, Longzhou, and Jingzhou.
, the other way is to go south from Shuofang to attack Yanzhou. This is the route Liang Shidu took to go south a few years ago, but it has always been difficult to advance.
It may also be the Longxi Road, because after Ren Gui became the commander-in-chief of the march on the Lingzhou Road, he sent a letter to ask Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an who was stationed in Longxi, to attack Huizhou on the side. It is said that Luo Yi, the governor of Hezhou and the king of Yanjun, also accompanied the army and had considerable military exploits.
Chengtianmen Street was already crowded with people. It was obvious that the news had spread. Several ministers came to the palace to pay their respects. Li Shan slowly stepped forward.
"Three days ago, Lingzhou was defeated." Wen Yanbo whispered: "The details are not known yet. I don't know whether Duke Guan is alive or dead. Qian Jiulong, the governor of Jingzhou, and Hu Yan, the governor of Ningzhou, retreated to Jingzhou."
Li Shan asked directly: "Who is leading the army?"
When no one answered, Li Shan sighed: "The Turks are in civil strife. Jieli Khan controls the west, and Tuli Khan controls the east. It would be better if the former..."
Wen Yanbo nodded in agreement. If Tuli Khan attacked, it would prove that he had defeated Jieli Khan and truly unified the Turks. He must be a powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty.
"Maybe it's not Jieli Khan, nor Tuli Khan..." Li Shan murmured, "Or Ashina She'er..."
"Yes, it's Ashina She'er." Cui Xin, who had just approached, looked at her with a hint of admiration.
A few days ago, Li Shan came to visit... This is a nicer way of saying it. In fact, he specifically picked Cui Xin to have a relationship while he was at work. However, he was caught by Cui Xin who came home temporarily.
Cui Xin clearly remembered that during the conversation in the study, his son-in-law was not very optimistic about the war in Lingzhou. He felt that the so-called civil strife in Wuyuan County must have something to do with it, and he named the person most likely to trigger the change, Ashina.
·Sheer.
An hour later, the exact news came. Li Shan sat in the official office of the Beiya Imperial Army and thought carefully. On September 4th, Guan Guogong Ren Gui personally led the army to cross the Great Wall and was defeated twenty miles northeast of Lingzhou.
When the Liang Army was pursuing victory, the overwhelming Turkic cavalry swept in and quickly separated the slightly out of touch infantry and cavalry of the Tang Army.
Everything happened next. Even the light cavalry could not be resisted by the infantry. The Turks easily teased the infantry like a cat and a mouse. At the same time, the Liang divisions all returned to attack, and the Turkic cavalry pushed Tang Qi towards them.
Southern drive.
The three thousand Tang cavalry can be considered elites, but after fighting for half a day and chasing the enemy for more than an hour, they were already exhausted and were defeated without any suspense. Once they were defeated, almost no one could escape from the Turkic cavalry who came with excellent horsemanship.
The annihilation of the entire army is a conceivable outcome, and Guan Guogong Ren Gui is afraid that he has died in the battle.
On September 5th, after defeating the Tang army, the Turks quickly went south and re-entered Lingzhou. Facing tens of thousands of enemy troops, Huai'an King Li Shenfu fled in fear, and Hezhou Governor Yanjun Wang Luo Yi also quickly
withdraw troops.
Thousands of Tang troops led by Qian Jiulong, the governor of Jingzhou, and Hu Yan, the governor of Ningzhou, were defeated in the southeast of Lingzhou. The Turks moved quickly and pursued them all the way. The Tang army lost Lingzhou, lost Yuanzhou, and retreated to Jingzhou.
, barely established itself at the junction of Wonju.
"It's actually two people joining forces..." Li Shan murmured: "Everything is different..."
Li Shan thought about many possibilities. The current situation was also expected, but it was the least likely and the last thing he wanted to see.
Obviously, Jieli Khan has been defeated, and he is probably dead, and he died in the hands of Ashina Sheer, otherwise it would not be the latter's turn to join forces with Tuli Khan and go south... This possibility
Li Shan could guess sex.
But what Li Shan didn't expect was that Tuli Khan did not continue to fight among himself like he did with Jieli Khan, but instead joined forces with Ashina She'er.
The storm caused by a time-traveling butterfly flapping its wings in the ancient world completely changed the trajectory of history. Jieli Khan left the stage of history early, and was replaced by Ashina Sheer, who had no memory of Li Shan in his previous life. Historically, he helped Li Shimin defeat
After a brief alliance with Li Tang, Jieli Khan's Tuli Khan chose to break the alliance.
Everything has changed, Li Shan couldn't help but sigh deeply,
Su Dingfang and Zhang Zhongjian, who were sitting next to each other, could hold their own, but Wang Junhao couldn't help but muttered: "Mr. Lang, please don't say that again next time..."
Hou Hongtao and He Fang looked at each other and both grinned. As early as a few months ago in the valley of Liyuan County, the King of Handan was quite suspicious of the civil strife in Wuyuan County, and pointed out the name of Ashina She'er.
He also immediately sent the old, young, women and children back to Chang'an, selected the young and strong, prepared weapons and equipment, and practiced them from time to time.
At that time, I thought that the King of Handan had guessed wrong. The Turks did not come. Instead, all the Liang divisions broke through and made a big fuss in Guanzhong. But I didn’t expect that in the end, he guessed correctly. The Turks came unexpectedly, and they really did.
That Ashina Sheer that His Highness has never forgotten.
Li Shan glanced sideways, and Wang Junhao laughed twice and stood aside.
I won’t take the blame for this!
On that day, I felt that Li Yuan's release of Ashina She'er was a bad move, and the general trend of the incident followed my expectations. What does this mean?
It means I guessed it right!
He had guessed correctly so many times before, but he got slapped in the face every time. But this time he guessed correctly, Li Shan couldn't be happy at all. He really wanted to get his face slapped in his face.
At this time, Cui Xin suddenly came, but after entering the door, his face was gloomy and he did not speak.
Li Shan winked, Zhang Zhongjian, Wang Junhao, Hou Hongtao and others quietly retreated, and only Su Dingfang stayed.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Cui Xin lowered his voice and cursed: "You were right last time, you are a thief if you are too old to die!"
Su Dingfang didn't react yet, but Li Shan understood immediately and said with a smile: "The old thief has already shot himself in the foot several times, is he going to do it again?"
"My son-in-law is already the king of the county. His majesty cannot even reward him for his role in saving me in the battle at Tiantai Mountain..."
Su Dingfang understood at this time that it was Pei Shiju who recommended Li Shan to fight again.
"You are getting married next year, do you really want to go to war!?" Cui Xin came over with a glare, "As long as His Majesty has no edict, you must not go to war!"
"I'm going to get married next year..." Li Shan chuckled, but then shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid it won't be as expected..."
Seeing that Cui Xin looked wrong, Li Shan quickly explained: "It doesn't mean that it is difficult to get married as expected... we will definitely get married next year, we will definitely get married!"
