"Please help me."
Zhang Zhongjian solemnly saluted Wang Junhao, who nodded sharply, "You bring thirty personal guards, all of whom have been with you for many years."
After thanking Wang Junhao repeatedly and watching him go to allocate manpower, Zhang Zhongjian breathed a sigh of relief. Xi Duo on the side smiled bitterly and said: "Obviously, we have been prepared for it. No wonder His Highness reprimanded him."
The expression on Zhang Zhongjian's face was even more bitter, "But if I don't kiss His Highness, how dare I feel at ease..."
"Yes." Xi Duo sighed: "But after this incident, His Highness can feel a little more at ease."
In the tent, just as Wen Yanbo was about to speak, noisy cheers came from outside, and the sounds of horses neighing and stampeding continued. Wang Junhao's figure appeared at the tent door, silently making a gesture to Li Shan.
Li Shan waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's good."
Wen Yanbo has a delicate mind, and he has witnessed Li Shan's methods during this period, and he quickly saw through the scene just now...it was just a show for each other.
Rioters gathered to cause trouble, and some even ignored strict orders and fled. Liu Shirang personally led his troops to station ten miles away, but Zhang Zhongjian, who had 300 cavalry under his command, should be responsible for suppressing the people.
But Zhang Zhongjian did not dare to take action and came to ask Li Shan for instructions immediately. There were only two reasons. One was that it was too taboo to use military power at night, and Zhang Zhongjian was still Yuan Junzhang's old subordinate. If he did not ask for instructions on such a thing, Wang Junhao and Liu Shirang would kill him. He doesn't go overboard.
The second reason is that most of the cavalry under Zhang Zhongjian had accompanied Yuan Junzhang to attack Hedong several times... To put it bluntly, many of the 30,000 serfs were kidnapped by them. Now that they have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they still have to fight with each other, which is a bit... Lack of confidence.
Therefore, Zhang Zhongjian came to ask for instructions, but Li Shan responded with a seemingly angry attitude.
Thinking of this, Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing."
Li Shan nodded in agreement. No matter what the reason was, it only proved that Zhang Zhongjian was consciously and deliberately moving closer to or even integrating into the Tang army, which was naturally not a bad thing.
Although some people were causing trouble, Li Shan didn't take such trivial matters to heart. Not to mention that Liu Shirang, Zhang Zhongjian, and famous early Tang generals Zhang Shigui and Su Dingfang were around. He looked at the people behind Wen Yanbo with interest, "This is Is he the nephew of Mr. Yan Bo?"
Wen Yanbo was stunned and smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that Li Shan didn't care about anything, but in fact, no valuable information could escape his eyes.
"The second son of the third disciple, ranked fourth in this generation."
"It turns out it's the Queen of Qinghe County." Li Shan was also a little surprised, hesitantly nodded and said: "When uncle and nephew reunite, it's up to Duke Yan Bo to make the decision."
Although it was said that escaping was not allowed and would be beheaded immediately if captured, Gong Wen of Qinghe County had his only remaining heir, a descendant of the Wen family of Taiyuan... Although Li Shan felt a little confused, it was not incomprehensible. After all, in this era, everyone said Equality is all bullshit.
"That's not why." Wen Yanbo hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "Silang can speak for himself."
"Greetings to the King of Handan." Wen Bang stepped forward and saluted, "I was kidnapped as a slave in Wuyuan County in the third year of my service in Wude. I don't expect to return to my hometown again in this life, so I would like to thank Your Highness in advance."
Li Shan nodded slightly but did not speak... The exchange of 30,000 serfs was something Li Shan expected and led, but from an objective point of view, it was a blow to Jieli Khan and an attempt to continue to stir up civil strife in the Turks. .
"Four years of martial virtue...I will marry a wife and have a son the following year." Wen Bang said dryly.
"Can we get married in Wuyuan County?" Li Shan was a little surprised. "I heard that in December last year, nearly a thousand elderly Han people and children were expelled and died of hunger and cold."
"Of course we can't get married, but we can hold the wedding privately." Wen Bang's eyes were filled with sparkle. He was driven here this time and separated from his wife and children..."
"Among thirty thousand?"
"I don't know." Wen Bang lowered his head.
Li Shan thought for a while and asked softly: "A descendant of the He family?"
"Country girl."
After a moment of silence, Li Shan smiled and said: "You are a son of a famous family, and you are willing to take risks to spy on the enemy. Now that you are lucky enough to return to your hometown, you will definitely be able to serve as an official. You can choose a noble girl from a famous family, marry a wife and have children, and be happy..."
"What do you think, Mr. Yanbo?"
Before Wen Yanbo could speak, Wen Bang became furious and raised his head and said: "Although there is no marriage certificate, she is my wife. Is it the husband who abandons his wife and children?"
"There is love and righteousness, there is love and righteousness." Li Shan remained calm and said with a smile: "If you are among thirty thousand people, that's it. If you are not there, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find... But why should I help you?"
"Just because you are a descendant of the Wen family in Taiyuan, and because you have an uncle who lives in Zhongshu and is an uncle of the Duke of Xihe?"
"Huairen!" Wen Yanbo frowned, "This kind of thing is just a piece of cake..."
Li Shan made a gesture of stopping, "Does Mr. Yan Bo mean to let Gu take advantage of military and national affairs for personal gain?"
Wen Yanbo's chest tightened at these words. In his opinion, bringing a woman with a child from Wuyuan County was nothing more than a small matter in the presence of Tuli Khan, who was about to sign an alliance.
"It takes a little effort, a little effort..." Li Shan looked at Wen Bang with interest, "After all, what can you do for me?"
Wen Bang took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness built a stronghold here to form an alliance with Mayi and Yanmenguan to fight against the Turks and protect Shuo and Daizhou. A certain person is good at arithmetic and has taken care of general affairs. He is willing to stay here to serve At your service, Your Highness!”
"Even if you have the ability to navigate the world, you will never be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility. What can one person do?" Li Shan shook his head slightly, "What's more, Yan Bogong won't agree, right?"
Wen Yanbo's face turned completely gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Huairen is really good at calculating!"
"Hahaha, I know I can't hide it from Mr. Yan Bo." Li Shan laughed loudly. He happened to see Zhang Shigui striding over and waved: "Brother Wu An, do you still have enough manpower?"
"The King of Handan sent his personal guards to help, and also dispatched manpower from Mayi, but it was not enough." Zhang Shigui simply replied, and then said: "Just now I received a report from the scouts. Hundreds of Turkic cavalry went south from Yunzhou and stayed in Yunzhou. , at the border of Shuozhou."
Li Shan and Wen Yanbo looked at each other, knowing that the rightful owner had finally arrived.
"Let's set off tomorrow." Li Shan seemed not to have heard, and said directly: "Su Dingfang and Yan Bogong will leave with me... As for the lack of manpower, we have to ask Yan Bogong to help."
Wen Yanbo took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Don't worry Wu An, he has already sent the letter. The Wen family will gather the disciples and select the disciples and retainers from all the tribes in Bingzhou. They will arrive within three days."
Zhang Shigui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Xihe."
Although Wen Bang couldn't figure out the inside story, he could tell just from the smile on Li Shan's face and the trace of anger in his uncle's expression that he was probably being tricked.
Zhang Shigui never asked why Wen Yanbo and Li Shan left when the Turks came, nor did he ask where they were going. "This place was originally the original site of Guji Town, but it covers a very large area and is a battleground for military strategists." , looking at Yunzhou to the north and the grassland to the west, we should give it a new name."
Wen Yanbo said coldly: "Huairen is determined to build a stronghold here and has great plans. Why not name it after Huairen."
Well, of course Wen Yanbo didn't know that hundreds of years later, there was indeed a small town named "Huairen" not far from the junction of Yunzhou and Shuozhou.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
