Countless eyes were cast on Li Shan. The so-called "ancient people please see me" may not be understood, but "outside Guantao City" made many people understand that this refers to Li Shan who was granted the title of Duke of Guantao County.
Apart from Su Dingfang and his personal guards, Li Kai, who knew the details of the war the year before last, whispered: "It's Ashina She'er!"
"Yeah." Li Shan smiled happily. If there was another stupid young man like Yu Gushe, today's situation might not be easy to deal with.
And Ashina She'er is a person who knows how to weigh things... In Li Shan's opinion, he is very similar to his direct brother Ashina Momo, who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows gains and losses.
Dozens of cavalrymen galloped out of the Turkic formation in the distance. Li Shan thought for a while and shook his head at Su Dingfang, only letting Wang Junhao lead his personal guards forward.
"County Lord, my subordinates are willing to protect you."
Li Shan huffed, glanced at the calm Er Zhu Yichen, nodded with a smile, and said sideways: "Please also ask Brother Demou for help."
Li Kai glanced at Zhu Yichen and nodded slightly.
You have to maintain a balance. Li Shan is very sorry in his heart. Li Kai was used...
In the center of the battlefield, Ashina She'er's face was livid, and he was holding the riding whip tightly in his hand. He was thinking in his mind, what would happen if he regretted returning to Wuyuan County this time... Yugu's plan was useless, he was defeated again, and was captured alive by Li Shan again. This time
For Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan, one was happy and the other was sad.
After learning that Yugushe suddenly sent troops to attack Yanmen Pass, Ashina Sheer thought it didn't matter at first. After all, it was difficult for Qingqi to attack the pass and they could advance and retreat freely.
But immediately after hearing that Yugu had set up an army to drive the people of Yunzhou to attack the key points and massacre them, Ashina Sheer felt that something was not good.
Although they had only met twice, Ashina Sheer knew very well that that young man was by no means a bearable character. If Yu Gushe was so violent, I was afraid that the other party would not be able to tolerate it.
With a thought, Ashina She'er led his troops to the south to investigate. Not long after, he heard the report from the scouts. He led his troops to stay around Mayi, while Yugushe was still at Yanmen Pass... Ashina She'er even more so.
Alert, he had always been suspicious of the inside story of Ma Yi's recruitment, so he came quickly, but it was still a few hours late.
Looking sideways at the silent association rate, Ashina Sheer thought in his mind, what role did this guy play in it?
The Tang army dared to pursue at night and pursued them all the way to the vicinity of Mayi. Aren't they afraid that they would join forces to wait for work and turn victory into defeat?
But the reason for the association rate is sufficient. Everyone knows that Yugushe asked him to lead his troops to attack Mayi, in case Mayi sent troops to cut off Yugushe's retreat... As for why the Tang army dared to pursue Yugushe all night long and capture Yugushe alive.
...That's naturally because Yugushe is such a loser.
Well, until now, the Turks still don’t know that the Tang army’s commander-in-chief who attacked from the south outside Yanmen Pass was Liu Shirang. At that time, the Turks’ left wing had completely collapsed, and not one out of ten could escape back to Mayi.
Raising his head and watching calmly as dozens of riders slowly stopped nearby, Ashina Sheer dismounted and strode forward, staring closely at the face that impressed him so much.
It seems that there are some changes, there are more beards, and the movement of turning over and dismounting is very neat, but the calm and calm temperament has not changed... no, there is more confidence in control.
I just don’t know if it’s because of the capture of Yu Gushe, or because of the experience in the past two years...
Indeed, experience molds temperament.
Since taking out Liu Shirang, Li Shan has been in charge of the army, and now he is in charge of the governor's office of the prefecture, with famous generals under his command. He is no longer the young man who was nothing the year before.
"Brother She'er, long time no see."
Ashina Sheer smiled bitterly and returned the greeting, "We have had several conversations, all here."
The first two times were on the battlefield, and this time is no exception.
Li Shan chuckled and said, "Maybe we can meet each other someday."
Last time, Li Shan was at a disadvantage, and he still used his eloquent words to convince himself that he was determined to withdraw his troops. This time, the opponent had the upper hand and spoke sharply... The smile on Ashina She'er's face became even more bitter.
Seeing Ashina Sheer taking a deep breath and about to speak, Li Shan raised his hand and made a gesture, "I will never let him go."
"Brother She'er still had some leverage last time, but this time..."
Yes, last time he had Li Daoxuan, Xue Zhong and other Tang Army generals in his hands, but this time he had no bargaining chips. Ashina Sheer gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I ask for anything, as long as I can give..."
Li Shan sent him a smile and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Of course, the key is that last time Yugu was in the hands of my younger brother, but this time..."
Li Shan pointed back at Tang Jun behind him, "In full view of everyone, is it the turn of a certain acting county magistrate to make the decision?"
Ashina Sheer finally couldn't stand it any longer and sneered: "Acting for the county magistrate?"
"Do you think that someone in the grassland is so ignorant and ignorant?"
"He is in charge of the Daizhou Governor's Office and holds great power in the northeastern part of Hebei Province. Aren't there all his subordinates behind him?"
Li Shan slowly suppressed the smile on his face and looked at the other person with squinted eyes, "Brother She'er is so well-informed... If you want to set up a valley close to Yanmen Pass, you may not know the inside story."
Finally regaining a victory, Ashina Sheer immediately made a condition, "Three thousand good horses."
"Four thousand good horses..."
"Five thousand good horses and five hundred oxen!"
The conditions became more and more attractive each time, and Li Shan sighed, "I'm afraid I will disappoint Brother She'er."
"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I'm afraid."
"There is no need to worry." Ashina Sheer took two steps forward and whispered: "There will never be a next time, the Khan will definitely restrain him."
"Hahaha, does Brother She'er think that I'm afraid that he will send troops to attack Gushe again?" Li Shan laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "You and I are in two countries, fighting on the battlefield, and you cut off X's head.
, or on the contrary, everyone depends on their means, life or death is determined by fate!"
"But he wants to kill the people wantonly, and the sons will lose their husbands, the mothers will lose their sons, and the blood will flow like rivers. Such beastly behavior cannot be tolerated!"
"By handing him over to the court for disposal without beheading him with my own hands, I was already showing mercy."
Ashina She'er sighed, but felt slightly relieved. What he feared most was that Li Shan would kill Yu Gushe immediately. If the power of disposal was handed over to the court, the Tang Emperor would not kill Jie Li rashly.
The only son of the Khan, there is a great possibility of redemption.
"What's more..." Li Shan sighed, stretched out his hand and introduced: "This is the new acting county magistrate Li Demou, a direct descendant of the Danyangfang family of the Li family in Longxi, and his father is a major general under the command of King Qin."
Hearing the title of King of Qin, Ashina She'er's pupils shrank slightly. Although they had not fought each other yet, the name of King of Qin was already well-known in the grassland. The then-prominent Liu Wuzhou was placed in the hands of young Li Shimin without any resistance.
Li Shan turned to the other side and said, "This is Zhu Zhonggui, Sima of Daizhou. He raised troops with His Majesty Jinyang and is the favorite general of the Prince of the East Palace."
"Brother She'er..." Li Shan gave him a wry smile, "This little brother is really difficult to deal with. If one party says to behead him, the other party will definitely try to protect it."
Ashina She'er also knew that the second son of the Tang emperor had seized the throne, and thinking of the internal fighting between Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Li Kai and Er Zhu Yichen looked at each other with expressionless faces... This guy's lies were limitless.
