In the Turkic camp, Yuan Xiaozheng, who was surrounded in the middle, looked around blankly. He was still holding an altar and pouring wine here this afternoon, having a good time. Now it is in ruins. When he passed by it just now, he found that the soles of his feet were covered with black and purple blood foam.
Li Shan, who was wearing a green robe, walked slowly in the open space of the camp. He didn't seem to notice the dark army outside the camp. With his usual smile on his face, he asked, "How many did you pick out?"
Yuan Pu, who had just arrived, heard Liu Shirang beside him whisper: "Thirty-two people."
"Tsk, tsk." Li Shan said with a smile: "Liu Gong is a strong man and has a reputation for integrity. He attacked the camp at night and destroyed it in one battle. Only 32 of the 500 enemy soldiers were left alive."
In fact, this is not surprising. The Turks had no horses and most of them were drunk. They suddenly attacked the camp... No one could withstand it!
Liu Shirang said a few words of humility, Yuan Pu glanced at it, and his heart moved... Lian Po's style.
Lian Po was a famous general of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period. In his later years, he was squeezed into desperation and eventually fled to the Wei State. He was very similar to Liu Shirang before tonight... But there was no doubt that Lian Po was loyal to the Zhao State.
"County Lord?" Yuan Pu looked at the army outside the camp, his heart pounding. He and Cui Xin hid far away, and were always uneasy. It was not until the war situation here became clear that he and Cui Xin were picked up.
"No rush, no rush." Li Shan smiled and whispered, "Yuan Junzhang is always able to observe words and emotions. How can he make up his mind without forcing him to a corner?"
Yuan Pu closed his mouth and only cursed in his stomach... Was Yuan Junzhang forced into a corner?
I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case, right? !
Three hundred personal guards were scattered in front of the Turkic camp, guarding the prisoners and gathering the horses. Several leading generals stood in front and talked in low voices, with somewhat excited expressions on their faces. They attacked the camp on a snowy night and won a complete victory. This is a record worth boasting about. .
Kan Leng was from the Jianghuai Army. Although he was extremely brave, he was not good at equestrian skills. He didn't have much room to show off tonight. He was grabbing Du Xiao and asking something in a low voice.
This camp was originally the military camp where Yuan Junzhang attacked Mayi two months ago. There were many houses with brick and wood structures in it, but now they were all destroyed... This was due to the hundreds of war horses that were released.
Du Xiao only led 30 men, drove hundreds of horses to charge wildly, and was able to roughly control the direction, which impressed Kan Leng very much.
You must know that the camp was broken tonight because of Li Shan's plan, unexpectedness and suddenness, and the Yu Huchun he sent, and then because of Liu Shirang's sharp charge regardless of life and death. It can be said that when Liu Shirang entered the camp, the victory was decided.
But in such a short period of time, before Yuan Junzhang's army arrived, the 300 personal guards completely destroyed the opponent's resistance and killed almost 500 Turkic soldiers. Du Xiao made a great contribution... The horses he drove almost The entire Turkic camp was trampled wildly, and the Turkic soldiers who were still trying to oppose were never able to gather together.
Wang Junhao glanced outside the camp and thought that Lang Jun's prediction was very accurate. With the association rate and Yushe device in hand, Yuan Junzhang would never dare to send troops to attack... The longer time went by, the more Yuan Junzhang would prefer Li. Don's side.
"It's snowing again."
Hearing Zhu Shitou's muttering beside him, Wang Junhao stretched out his hand, and a few snowflakes fell on his palm, quickly melting into a puddle of water. He couldn't help but think to himself, if Su Dingfang was here, he couldn't do better, right?
At this time, Zhao Da shouted, "Zhu Ba!"
Wang Junhao's expression changed, and when he saw Zhu Ba walking timidly, he stepped over without hesitation and kicked him to the ground hard.
Zhu Ba's status among the personal guards was very special. He was the earliest confidant who followed Li Shan. Before Su Dingfang came to surrender, he was the actual leader of the personal guards, and he was also a member of the Zhu clan... But Zhu Shiliu, Zhu Shitou, and Zhao Da When the others saw this scene, they all looked cold and did not stop him. Zhu Shitou couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked him.
"What did Uncle Qi tell him?" Zhu Shitou grabbed Zhu Ba's collar and dragged him up. "What did Su Dalang tell him?!"
"Lang Jun only took you outside the camp, but you actually let him chase the enemy himself!"
Zhu Ba grimaced, lowered his head and said nothing. He really had no way to defend himself... He couldn't say that Lang Jun went up too fast, and he had to keep an eye on Yuan Xiaozheng. In Wang Junhao's view, this was no reason at all.
Six months ago, Li Shan left for the north to take up his post. Before leaving, Zhu Wei and Ling Jing warned these personal guards many times. Su Dingfang was the leader of the personal guards before the Western Expedition. It was decided that no matter when Li Shan was away, there should be no less than 1,000 personal guards around him. Among the four of them, if Li Shan is in danger, all bodyguards will be held responsible.
Well, Ling Jing also specifically told Wang Junhao in private... Li Shan may seem gentle, but in fact he often goes off the beaten path. In other words, he is very capable of causing trouble, so you must arrange enough people around him.
And tonight, outside the camp, in the sight of hundreds of cavalry, Li Shan took a strange risk and captured Yu Sheshe... Wang Junhao, Du Xiao, and Liu Shirang were all covered in cold sweat.
Li Shan, who saw this scene from a distance, touched his nose and thought for a while before moving forward... When Wang Junhao, Du Xiao and others snatched him and Yu Sheshe back from the encirclement, they had already asked him tactfully and fiercely. , said over and over again.
Li Shan didn't have any excuse. In the flash of lightning, he had no choice but to get in... On the one hand, there were four or five Turks who escaped. Could it be that he was pulling Zhu Ba to tell him which one he should chase?
On the other hand, Yuan Junzhang's men were already approaching, and he had no choice but to fight to the death, otherwise he would fail.
Well, he also knew that this reason...Wang Junhao would not recognize it, so he could only wrong Zhu Ba.
"County Lord, here we come."
Liu Shirang's reminder brought Li Shan back to his senses. He turned around and saw hundreds of cavalry galloping towards him. Under the reflection of the huge bonfire, Yuan Junzhang, the leader, looked livid. The cavalry behind him was holding a long spear and was ready to go. .
Li Shan sneered in his heart, but his posture was quite good. He only ordered Liu Shirang and Yuan Pu to come forward and walked slowly out to greet them.
Facing hundreds of gleaming tree branches, Li Shan laughed and saluted, "Why did Duke Rui come so late?"
On the 10th day of Mayi, Li Shan changed the title of Yuan Junzhang from Duke Rui Guo to Duke Yuan. At this time, it was changed back to Duke Rui again... This was the title given to Yuan Junzhang by Li Yuan.
Although he was resentful in his heart, he had to admire the courage of the young man opposite him. Yuan Junzhang got off his horse and stared at Li Shan fiercely, "What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Don't you know, Mr. Rui Guo?" Li Shan relaxedly spread his hands.
The meaning is obvious. I already call you Rui Guogong. Don’t you still know what I want?
Yuan Junzhang's livid face no longer faded, he waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him retreated far away, then he smiled bitterly and said: "Didn't the Duke of Guantao County return to Yanmen?"
"I surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was given the title of Duke. I have made many meritorious deeds, but I am still no more than a county magistrate." Li Shan sighed: "I have the heart to make great achievements and seek great achievements. How can I return without success?"
After a pause, Li Shan turned his head and said with a smile: "If we can persuade Duke Rui to vote under the pressure of the Turks... maybe he can become a Duke?"
Yuan Pu took a step forward and said with a smile: "Such a great achievement will definitely be rewarded generously by the saint."
"You are..." Yuan Junzhang's face changed slightly, "Brother Yuan?"
Yuan Kan had served as acting governor Shi, and the Yuan family had settled in Daizhou for a long time. Of course Yuan Junzhang recognized Yuan Pu, who was born in Yanmen County. He knew that this man had been friends with Li Yuan, who stayed in Taiyuan in his early years.
"Your Majesty sent Cui Sheren first, and then asked Duke Rui Guo's old friends to persuade him. He is so eager." Li Shan gently persuaded: "Does Duke Rui still want to refuse?"
"Why are you forcing someone like this..."
"How can we call it coercion if we are so earnest?"
Yuan Junzhang took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and stared into Li Shan's eyes, "I am willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and hand over Yu Sheshe and the association rate!"
Li Shan couldn't help but laugh, walked forward slowly, and whispered in Yuan Junzhang's ear: "Mr. Rui Guogong is nearly fifty years old. He is not a three-year-old child. How can he still be so naive?"
"Then you know, someone may not..."
"Of course I know." Li Shan interrupted Yuan Junzhang. He could clearly hear the sound of Yuan Junzhang grinding his teeth, but the smile on his face did not change. "Gong Rui Guo can kill all the Tang troops and then offer his head to Jieli Khan's tent." Well."
