In the grand main hall, Li Shan, who was sitting at the top, looked at the middle-aged man talking and yawned out of boredom... After only listening to a few words, he knew that he had misunderstood and that he was not suddenly here.
An envoy sent by the Khan.
Think about it, if Tuli Khan is really interested, there is a secret communication channel with the association, so why bother to openly ask for an audience?
Looking at the lazy Li Shan, the anger on the middle-aged man's face grew stronger, and he shouted: "One day the Khan will lead hundreds of thousands of cavalry to break through Yanmen Pass, you guys..."
"Bang!" Li Daozong, who was sitting on the wing, slammed the table and shouted: "Then try it!"
"Brother Daozong, don't be angry." Li Shan yawned again and asked with a smile: "If Jieli Khan does not send troops to Yanmen... you can put forward any conditions."
The middle-aged man stroked his beard proudly and said, "All it takes is one person's head."
"Who's head can calm the wrath of the Khan?" Li Shan's smile grew wider.
Li Daozong vaguely heard something about it and sneered: "Could it be the head of Li Huairen, the Duke of Guantao County?"
"Exactly!" The middle-aged man took a step forward and persuaded sincerely: "When the Li Tang Dynasty began, the princes and county princes were all driven by cars, and they were just district and county princes, let alone the county magistrate..."
"This person hooked up with Yuan Junzhang, which made the Khan furious. If he gets his head, the Khan is willing to become brothers with the Tang Dynasty..."
"I'm afraid it was not sent by Jieli Khan, but by Yu Gushe." Li Daozong snorted, "It's really smart... After the defeat, he sent envoys to force him..."
"Smart, smart...hahaha!" Li Shan laughed so hard, "Unexpectedly, Brother Daozong also likes to joke."
After laughing for a long time, Li Daozong couldn't help laughing, and the middle-aged man looked confused. Li Shan then wiped away his tears and sighed: "I have seen a few of Ashina's children..."
"Among the descendants of the first and last Khans, Tuli Khan is the most virtuous, but unfortunately he is only a bit frugal. However, his youngest son Ashina Jisheshu, although ignorant, is a rough and powerful man."
"Among the descendants of Chuluo Khan, Ashina Sheer, both literary and military, have merits. They have a better understanding of the overall situation, know how to advance and retreat, know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they will surely achieve success in the future."
"Ashina Mo Mo... makes me feel extremely regretful." Li Shan looked at the middle-aged man with a half-smile, "That day, I and Brother Mo Mo felt like old friends when they met.
Li Daozong looked at Li Shan with a rather strange look... The snowy night attack on the camp had already spread throughout Chang'an. Of course he knew about it, but he didn't know too many details. Hearing Li Shan's emotion today, he was really speechless.
"Although a certain person personally sent Brother Momo down to the Nine Springs of Netherworld, where life and death were separated... But we have to admit that Ashina Momo, in terms of scheming and skill, is no better than his brother She'er."
The middle-aged man finally realized that the person in front of him was Li Huairen, who was said to have forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender by talking, laughing, and killing people. His legs immediately trembled and he was sweating like rain.
Yu Gushe arrived at Yanmen Pass twice, but the news was cut off, and he turned against Yuan Junzhang. Until now, he still doesn't know that Yanmen Pass has always been in Li Shan's hands. He just judged based on his inherent thinking. Although he was granted the title of County Duke, he was just a person.
On behalf of the county magistrate...
After all, in the past few years, the behavior of Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan was like this. Give him or her, or beat him if he doesn't... Li Yuan basically chose to give in.
Li Shan stared at the middle-aged man below with great interest, shook his head and said: "The descendants of Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan all have sages, but it is a pity that Jieli Khan... I want to set up this official in the valley to lead the military strategy.
They are all mediocre and have no self-awareness."
"As the saying goes, you are as stupid as a pig, as weak as a chicken, as timid as a mouse, and unworthy of your father!"
Li Shan suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Daozong, "Brother Daozong, please draft the text for me. He must be aware of today's words."
Li Daozong pursed his lips and smiled, and called the scribe to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones... But the middle-aged man, who was sweating profusely, felt relieved. At least he could go back alive, and the other party had no intention of killing him.
"That day, Yu Gushe was captured alive by a certain person. He was humiliated and should be deeply resented." Li Shan leaned on his chair with a calm expression and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid to tell you that all the troops stationed in Hedong Road have been transferred back and are stationed in Daizhou.
The Duke of Jiangxia, Li Gaoqian, the King of Xiangyi, the King of Huaiyang, and Liu Shirang are not here now."
"If you have the courage to attack Yugushe, feel free to attack!"
Over there, Li Daozong had already finished writing. He dropped the writing brush and pushed the letter paper. The paper fluttered and fell at the middle-aged man's feet.
Facing Li Shan's seemingly gentle smile, the middle-aged man stood frozen for a while, then bent down and picked up the letter.
"That's it." Li Shan yawned again and suddenly let out a sigh, "Yu Gushe takes you as his envoy... you must not be an ordinary person?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "My ancestral home is Shuozhou, and I am the Liu family of Shanyang."
"Liu?" Li Shan was even more surprised by his appearance. He sat up straight and asked, "Is the surname Hu a Chinese version?"
"Of course not, the Liu family of Shanyang inherited Liu Han..."
"Oh, it turns out they are Han people." Li Shan sighed, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Come here!"
Wang Junhao and Zhao Da responded and entered.
"Drag him down, cut his ears off, and beat him with sticks!"
Li Daozong couldn't help laughing and said: "Huairen's move is quite indicative of the incompatibility between Hu and Han."
The Li-Tang clan has Xianbei blood, and the North and the South had been in conflict for hundreds of years, and finally ended with the North uniting the South, so there is actually no clear boundary between Hu and Han in the North... Li Yuan first surrendered to the Turks, and now there is a tendency to oppose them.
It's just because of profit.
But for travelers, this is a manifestation of the nationalist consciousness that has sprouted since modern times... It is a mark engraved in the bones.
"The Turks are powerful and have captured many Han men and women. Although Yuan Junzhang, Li Zihe, and Liu Wuzhou are dependent on the Turks, they still have their own independence." Li Shan shook his head and said: "To lobby for the Yi and Di, they are really people without ancestors and clans!"
Li Daozong didn't take it seriously. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "Huairen wants to lure Yu Gushe to attack?"
"It depends on whether he can bear this tone." Li Shan sneered: "If the desire valley assumes that it can come and go freely, even if it is difficult to break through, it can still drift away..."
Li Daozong smiled and said: "Then I will wait in Taiyuan Mansion for Huairen's victory."
Five days before and after arriving at Yanmen Pass, even though it was the first month of the year, Li Daozong could not stay long and had to return to Taiyuan.
Li Shan saw Li Daozong off, still wondering, would Yu Gushe really come to attack Yanmen?
In fact, this battle would not have happened under the normal mode. Mayi had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Would Yugushe attack Yanmen when there might be an enemy attack from behind?
It is still the first month of the lunar month, Daizhou and Shuozhou are covered with ice and snow. How can Yugushe and his cavalry capture Yanmen Pass?
What about the supply of grain and grass?
What's more, after Mayi's appeasement, Li Shan found out the inside story of the Turks through the caravans that returned to the customs one after another years ago. Although he didn't know the specific situation, he was sure that the atmosphere was very tense.
Maimang...the father fought hard behind, but the son wanted revenge.
