Chapter 784 It’s really not my fault this time (Part 1)
In the eighth year of Wude, on June 15th, on the day when Li Yuan and Li Shimin were eagerly waiting for reinforcements, Li Shan led 700 personal guards to rush north towards Huating.
In fact, Li Yuan still put his hope in Jingzhao. When he founded the Tang Dynasty, he made his eldest son the prince. He had taken care of him in every possible way over the years. If he hadn't supported him, he would have been replaced by his second son. Wouldn't he have sent troops to help him at this time?
But Li Shimin placed his hope on Li Shan from Longzhou. On the one hand, he could not trust Li Jiancheng. This eldest brother treated others with a benevolent face, but in fact he was also full of deceitful means. On the other hand, if it was
Jingzhao saved the siege, which meant that he owed the other party a huge favor. To put it harshly, it could be regarded as a life-saving favor.
Fortunately, his father brought Pei Shiju with him to the Renshou Palace for summer vacation this time. Although the edict ordering Li Shan to control the armies was not sent out immediately because of this, if Pei Shiju was still in Beijing, the East Palace would not send troops to help, and maybe he would be able to return the favor.
It will add insult to injury...Li Shan couldn't control the armies even if he wanted to.
While commanding his soldiers to defend Renshou Palace, Li Shimin swore in his heart that if Li Shan could arrive in time to rescue the siege, he would not be in trouble in his life!
After all, after so many battles over the years, Li Shan's riding skills are no longer as bad as they were when he first traveled through time. He is not very strong, but he can still run so fast and easily.
Longzhou is not too big, Liyuan County is in the center, and Huating County is the northern gate, so the distance is not too far. We set off before dusk yesterday, rested overnight in a small town, and entered Huating County before noon the next day.
Already.
Over the years, the generals leading the army around Li Shan include Su Dingfang, Li Daoxuan, Zhang Shigui, Xue Wanche and other famous generals. He has learned something more or less. After careful observation on the way, he has to admit that at least in the command of a small force, Zhang Zhongjian is no better than Zhang Zhongjian.
Su Dingfang is weak, and their strength is about the same. The reason why they haven't been able to climb up is mainly because of that face.
But this... Li Shan has no idea. Although I am a doctor, I am not a plastic surgeon.
"Your Highness, don't worry." Although Hou Chen was over fifty, he also went into battle wearing armor. Seeing Li Shan's worried expression, he advised: "Longzhou is not as good as Lingzhou, Huizhou, and Yuanzhou are already the hinterland of Guanzhong, and they cannot conquer Huating.
Liang Jun did not dare to go south in a detour."
Hou Chen's meaning is very simple. Now that they have entered Huating County, there are no signs of enemy intrusion, which means that Huating County has not been conquered yet.
Li Shan didn't say anything, and only used his eyes to signal Wang Junhao next to him... Do you hear him?
This time it was not my fault. If something happens later, I will not bear the blame.
Wang Junhao twitched the corner of his mouth, but he still couldn't feel relieved... Last year, he heard Ma Zhou, the talkative guy, say that Li Huairen might be a disaster star. Wherever he goes, something will happen!
After that, Ma Zhou suddenly returned to Beijing, and then he was trapped in Guji Town. After returning to Beijing last year, Wang Junhao asked Ling Jing privately, and the answer he got was... the disaster star descended, or it was illusory, or it was possible.
Regarding this aspect, Li Shan himself once thought that if the protagonist of a book is just plain and calm wherever he goes, then who will read this book?!
But I can’t be so unlucky every time, I’m almost like the ancient Chinese version of Conan!
Three or two horses came galloping in front. Zhang Zhongjian ordered the horses to slow down. Li Shan squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He saw that the scout leader Fan Shiyi had a strange look on his face. He couldn't help but mention it and roared, "Skin monkey?"
Fan Shiyi came on horseback with a strange look on his face and said with a smile: "That's strange, Huating is fine."
All right?
strangeness?
Li Shanzhen was so angry at these words that he fell backwards and whipped him casually. Fan Shiyi climbed up on his mount and made a very difficult iron bridge to avoid it.
"Are you still expecting something bad to happen?!" Li Shan laughed and cursed a few times, thinking that Liang Jun was indeed a tentative attack. Although he defeated the Tang army, he saw that he could not take Huating County, so he retreated to Yuanzhou.
Qi Baiqi rode slowly all the way. Outside the south gate of Huating County, Li Shan looked unhappy. He turned to look at Hou Chen and said, "Chang Da is a very narrow-minded person."
Hou Chen couldn't help but nodded in agreement. Chang Da led his army to the north, but was defeated and retreated. Chang Shi Yang refused to come north to help. The King of Handan led his bodyguard to rush to help, but Chang Da actually refused to go out of the city to meet him.
Wang Junhao snorted coldly, "Don't forget that Zhang Shilong has already died in battle. Chang Shi, Sima is still in Qianyuan, and Chang Da refuses to go out to greet him. Could it be that he is not even willing to send his subordinates to greet him?"
Li Shan also felt a little strange. Although he and Chang Da didn't get along, but now he led his troops to help... Could it be that because Liang Jun had withdrawn, Chang Da felt that it didn't matter anymore?
Although Zhang Shilong died in the battle, Pei Xuanji, who was involved in military affairs and recorded affairs, went north with Chang Da that day. He couldn't have died in the battle, right?
Even if Pei Xuanji died in the battle, Chang Da could still ask Huating to order Zhang Wenxi to come forward, which could just ease the conflict. Find a way down. Chang Da wouldn't be so unreasonable and adaptable, right?
Impossible, it is impossible for such bureaucrats to not understand.
Suddenly, Zhang Wenguan couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Huairen, let me go and ask first."
Li Shan didn't care much about the ostentation, but since he had arrived with his personal guards, he had to keep the military power in his hands just in case. After thinking about it, he nodded and asked Zhang Wenguan to go and see the situation first.
"Wang Junhao and Hou Hongbin led two hundred horses to follow Gu into the city." Li Shan ordered: "Zhang Zhongjian led the remaining guards to station outside the city."
Among the guards, Wang Junhao and Zhang Zhongjian are in charge, and the remaining leaders are Qu Silang, Qi Laosan, He Fang, and Hou Hongbin, each leading a team.
Hou Chen glanced at Li Shan and thought that although the prince was young and kind enough, he had deep thoughts. Generally speaking, his personal guards were always from the Zhu clan, but he deliberately brought Hou Hongbin with him.
.
At this moment, a cavalry galloped from the east. It was a scout under Fan Shiyi's command. He said with an angry look on his face: "Lang Jun, nearly a thousand soldiers are entering the city from the north gate. The leader is the general from the left.
Pei Longqian."
Li Shan cursed a few words in a low voice, that’s it!
On that day, he changed from Tongzhou to Longzhou. Pei Shiju, with the heart of a villain, stuffed his nephew Pei Longqian over and placed him in Pingliang County, south of Yuanzhou, close to Longzhou. It should be that he was defeated in the south.
withdraw.
What's the matter, it's not that Changda didn't go out of the city to greet him, but he didn't come to greet him!
Also, although he was the king of the county, he was appointed as the minister of agriculture. He did not bring a large army to support him. He was accompanied by only a few hundred personal guards. However, Pei Longqian was a serious general who led the left army.
Li Shan always thinks too much when encountering problems. Chang Da was defeated and Beijia died in battle. At this time, he joined forces with Pei Longqian. If he could hold on to Huating to resist the Liang army's southward invasion, he might be able to borrow Pei Shiju and Pei Ji would be exempted. But if Li Shan came
To greet yourself, it’s hard to say!
Li Shan smiled bitterly in his heart. He felt that Chang Da was narrow-minded. Maybe Chang Da felt that he was narrow-minded... Otherwise, why would he pick up Xi Pei's thigh at this time?
Thinking of this, Li Shan smiled helplessly, without dismounting, and rode through the city gate with two hundred people.
