NIP Chapter 808 Zhang Liang
Chapter 808 Zhang Liang
Chapter 808 Zhang Liang
After the Turks were destroyed, the Mongolian, Khitan, Jurchen and other races were born in the grassland.
It can be said that the nomads in the grassland are like leeks, and a new crop will grow soon after cutting off one crop.
Qilaobateer's original idea was to annex the tribe of Tong'e and retreat into the depths of Mobei, annex the tribe there to restore its strength, and return after the Great Tang retreats to destroy Xue Yantuo's unified grassland.
Of course, it is also possible that Xue Yantuo was wiped out by Datang, and they didn't need to fight at all, and directly became the overlord of the grassland.
The reason for this kind of thinking is that no matter how powerful the Central Plains Dynasty is, it has never really occupied the grassland, and there is no need to worry that the Tang Dynasty will hang on.
However, Yuan Qi's suspicion prevented him from revealing his original plan, but encouraged Yuan Qi to fight Datang.
Yuan Qi didn't know this, but what Bartel said was similar to what he thought, and Yuan Qi's suspicion of him weakened a bit for a while.
"It's been a tough time for you, so let's take a good rest in the tribe." Although Yuan Qi's doubts about Laubatel weakened a bit, they didn't completely disappear.
Yuan Qi decided to put him under house arrest first, and wait and see later.
Originally, Battelle thought that Yuan Qi was going to kill him, but when he heard Yuan Qi's words, he was taken aback for a moment.
"Thank you, Khan!"
He naturally understood Yuan Qi's words, but his hatred for Yuan Qi did not decrease because of Yuan Qi's mercy.
If Datang wins, Yuan Qi will be the first to kill him. If the Western Turks win, Yuan Qi will not kill him, nor will he reuse him.
……
After a period of recuperation, the slightly injured soldiers were almost healed, the seriously injured soldiers who couldn't bear it all died, and the remaining injuries were basically stable.
After several wars, there are still about 12 infantry and more than 7 cavalry.
Added together, close to 20.
Li Daozong was going to lead his troops to march towards the tribe of Tong'e, but when he received the news that Li Shimin sent Li Chengqian to reward the army, he had to stay where he was and wait.
On this day, Li Daozong was worried about the generals, and said: "His Royal Highness will arrive in dozens of miles, follow me to meet the prince."
Dozens of miles means far or near, if two parties are walking head-on, one party only needs to walk more than ten miles to meet.
For the cavalry, if they sprint with all their strength, it will only take a long time for the cavalry.
Of course, it's not war time, so there's no need to hurry. They set off, and they will be able to welcome Li Chengqian in about half an hour.
If it was someone else who came, Li Daozong would not go to greet him at all, let alone lead the generals, he would only send his deputy to greet him.
"Yes!"
All the generals looked excited, and Li Shimin sent the prince here, which represented the recognition of their contributions.
Moreover, when Li Chengqian came, he not only simply rewarded the army, but also brought Li Shimin's reward for them.
Of course, this reward is just an imperial decree, and it will not be brought after the reward is finished.
Even so, it was enough for them to be excited.
Li Daozong led the generals and brought 3 cavalry. After walking for more than half an hour, he saw an army of [-] to [-] in the distance.
Li Daozong left five thousand cavalry waiting in place, and led all the generals to meet him on horseback.
When we got closer, we could see clearly that there were only about 1 people in this army with armor, and the rest were people who transported things.
What the civilian husband transported was naturally the items for the army.
"Minister Li Daozong, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Daozong took the lead in saluting.
"I see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The rest of the people saluted and shouted in unison.
Li Chengqian got off his horse, stepped forward to help Li Daozong up, and said, "Uncle Wang, you don't need to be too polite. Uncle Wang has made such great achievements. I should thank Uncle Wang alone."
"The minister is just doing his duty as a minister, and dare not say credit." Li Daozong said modestly.
Li Chengqian smiled, and said to the generals behind Li Daozong: "You don't need to be too polite!"
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Everyone thanked them before getting up.
Lin Xuan sized up Li Chengqian, wondering if it was because he had been on the road for several days, Li Chengqian was a lot darker, but his eyes were much firmer, and he seemed more mature than before.
Lin Xuan didn't know why Li Shimin sent Li Chengqian to reward the army. There was no such scene in history.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty launched troops against the Western Turks many years earlier than in history, and some changes are normal.
"His Royal Highness, the military camp is still more than ten miles away from here, please move the prince." Li Daozong said.
Li Chengqian nodded and mounted his horse again.
Li Daozong and the generals came behind Li Chengqian, and the army continued to set off.
"Zhang Liang, it turns out that you are accompanying to protect His Highness!" Cheng Yaojin said happily when he saw Zhang Liang.
The two came out of Wagangzhai together, although their relationship is not particularly good, they are very close.
"You guys have won a big victory this time, and I'm a little jealous." Zhang Liang said enviously.
Although Zhang Liang has been promoted many times since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has not led troops to the battlefield so far.
For generals, the battlefield is not only a place where they can gain glory and wealth, but also a place to cash out their value.
This kind of battle with tens of thousands of people is very eager for any general with ideals and ambitions.
Moreover, this battle is still against a foreign race, and there is a great possibility that it will be famous in history.
At their stage, the power has basically reached its peak, and what they pursue is fame.
"Haha, there's going to be a battle coming up. Even though it's not big, it can still make you overwhelmed. Do you want to try it? I don't know if you can still use a knife now." Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"Have you been in vain all these years as an old man? Let me tell you, although this old man has not been on the battlefield, he has been practicing martial arts all these years without a break!" Zhang Liang said dissatisfied.
"Haha, let's see who kills more!" Cheng Yaojin laughed.
The reward army didn't come to just go through the motions and then go back. Li Chengqian needs to stay in the army for a period of time so that he can cash in on the greatness of the emperor's grace.
Zhang Liang is responsible for protecting Li Chengqian, so he will naturally stay.
"Let's forget it, the old man's duty is to protect His Highness, how can he leave privately." Zhang Liang shook his head and said.
Cheng Yaojin was also joking just now, so he didn't say much.
Lin Xuan heard the conversation between the two, and looked at Zhang Liang curiously.
Zhang Liang's face was dark, but he didn't have the coarse ore of a general, but looked a little refined.
The early days of the Tang Dynasty were so powerful, and it was inseparable from these civil servants and generals.
Compared with familiar people such as Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Li Jing, Zhang Liang is not well-known, but among the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, Zhang Liang is ranked No.16.
You can see its ability.
But just such a person died unjustly in the end.
Historically, in the 20th year of Zhenguan, Chang Xuande, a native of Shanzhou, wrote to the imperial court, claiming that Zhang Liang raised 500 righteous sons who were brave and good at fighting, and was suspected of treason.Chang Xuande also said vividly in the secret letter that Zhang Liang once told the sorcerer Gongsun that his name was consistent with the prophecy, and that he had the fate of being an emperor; he also told the sorcerer Cheng Gongying that he had dragon scales on his arms. Will the military rebellion be successful?
At that time, Li Shimin was bedridden and suspicious. When he saw the secret letter, he was furious. He immediately sent Prime Minister Ma Zhou Tiaotiao and others to investigate the matter.Of course Zhang Liang refused to admit it, and even claimed that he was framed.In fact, anyone who is a normal person will know that the contents of Chang Xuande's secret letter are extremely absurd and cannot withstand scrutiny at all.Just imagine, if Zhang Liang really wanted to rebel, he would definitely prepare under extremely secret circumstances, raising 500 righteous children, blatantly revealing his dissatisfaction to the warlock, and other actions.
Of course, the facts have long been covered up in history, and there is no way to verify them. This is only Lin Xuan's own guess.
