Yunzhou, Yunzhong.

Jiushe led the team to drain the remaining wine in the bowl in one gulp, kicked over a stool in front of him in displeasure, and muttered something in his mouth.

Taking advantage and taking advantage to no end!

As the sibling younger brother of Tuli Khan, he is highly trusted despite his abilities. He has a complete understanding of the alliance between Tuli Khan and the Tang Emperor... In fact, between the two, he is the brother of Tuli Khan.

In charge of the communication channel.

Li Shan's return to Beijing had a profound impact on the Turks... It's just that Tuli Khan and his brothers knew what was going on, but Jieli Khan was probably kept in the dark.

The most important thing was of course the correspondence between the Tang Emperor and Tuli Khan, from the King of Qin to the prince, then to the county king... and finally an alliance was made.

It's just that Li Shan was canonized as King of Handan, which shocked the Tuli Khan and the association rate... If Li Shan himself was not famous in the north and held great power, they would all doubt whether the Tang Emperor was fooling people.

Although it was just a covenant that could not be put on the table, and even on the surface it was still a hostile relationship, this was a shot in the arm for the disadvantaged Tuli Khan himself.

The association rate remembered what he heard in Wuyuan County a few days ago. Jieli Khan cursed Li Huairen day and night, claiming that he would take his head... The association rate, which had suffered countless dumb losses at the hands of Li Shan, wanted to encourage Jieli Khan to send troops quickly. It would be best to fight with him.

That guy would end up losing both sides.

Jieli Khan claimed that the Turks controlled 400,000 strings, but in fact a large number of tribes among them were vassal races, such as the nine surnames of Tiele, etc. Since Tuli Khan returned to Wuyuan County last year, through the death of Yu Sheshe, the official

After the confrontation with Jieli Khan, the Turks were in civil strife, and the vassal races did not dare to get involved, and most of them died down.

If Jieli Khan leads his troops south to attack Yanmen Pass, the number of troops will not exceed 100,000. The association rate really hopes that he will be bloody in front of the fortress!

This possibility is not low. The Turks are not good at attacking cities, let alone a world-famous pass like Yanmen Pass. Moreover, we have to consider that Jieli Khan just lost 30,000 serfs... This is really not a small number.

.

Thirty thousand serfs may seem like a small matter, they are just Han people kidnapped from Hedong, but in fact the development of Wuyuan County over the years cannot be separated from the hard work of tens of thousands of serfs... In other words, the Turkic King's tent was established in Wuyuan County.

Rather than moving in pursuit of water and grass, it largely depended on the serfs.

Tuli Khan discovered this very early, so he insidiously asked his younger brother to join forces and suggest that Li Shan ask for serfs.

However, a hundred thousand troops attacked Yanmen Pass, and Li Shan could only try his best to resist. Maybe Mayi would be lost soon... The association leader remembered his brother's mention that Jie Li will definitely lead his troops south this year. If Li Shan wants to do something, he will have to figure it out.

Blood?

You can't always take advantage of me, right?

The association leader secretly cursed a few times and rubbed his eyebrows. It was better this time, but he came to take advantage again, again and again, endlessly!

"Tell them to get lost!" After hesitating for a while, the association made up its mind. You should know that the covenant with the Tang Dynasty has not been signed yet... Well, that guy Li Shan probably came to rip off people because of this.

"The one you carry..."

"Let them get out of here together!" Jusheshu roared expressionlessly.

In the past two days, the association rate was reported. The caravan from Hedong repeated its old tricks and once again persuaded people in Yunzhong, Zuoyun and surrounding villages and towns to move to Daizhou... In the scene that happened in Baiyugushe at the beginning of the year, a large number of people

They all couldn't wait to follow the caravan back to Daizhou.

Originally, the association wanted to stop him, but before he could take action, he received a secret letter from Li Shan.

In the letter, Li Shan unceremoniously asked for the association to lead the people to move to Daizhou, and also attached a list of names... These were the young men Yuan Junzhang kidnapped in Yunzhou last year.

Some of these young and strong family members have moved to Daizhou, but a considerable number of them still stay in Yunzhou... Of course, the association rate can be seen clearly. If Li Shan brings these young and strong family members to Daizhou safely, then these young and strong family members will

The strong general died for Li Shan without hesitation.

Don't agree?

The association rate really had the intention not to agree, but if he didn't agree, he was really afraid of what tricks the unpredictable young man would use.

At this time, there was a noise outside, and several followers strode in, "Someone is blocking the caravan..."

Before he finished speaking, the association jumped up from the bar stool, grabbed the exquisite riding whip hanging on the wall, and walked out angrily with a sullen face... Now that Yunzhou is his own territory, who dares to cause trouble?!

Ever since Yuan Junzhang raided Yunzhou last year and coerced the young men to go south to attack Mayi, Yunzhou has gradually declined. After the wanton killing that Yugu set up to cause a huge loss of public support, people's support has become even more negative... This is also an association.

The reason why I nodded today.

But from a geographical point of view, Yunzhou is actually a fortress, located to the north of Shuozhou. The Turks sent troops to attack Hedong, and Yunzhou is a major transportation artery.

It is also located in the east of Wuyuan County, to the west is the Turkic king's tent, and all the way to the north, it is faintly connected to the tribes under the command of Tuli Khan.

So after Yuan Junzhang decided to defect to the Tang Dynasty, Yu Gushe led his troops south, and Jieli Khan naturally handed over Yunzhou to Yu Gushe... It was a pity that this man was such a waste, but the association took advantage.

Of course, not all of Yunzhou is led by the association. He only occupies the eastern part of Yunzhou and the main roads going south and north. Jieli Khan's confidants lead troops to garrison in the west... After all, that side borders Wuyuan County.

.

But Yunzhong is the territory of the association, and he cannot tolerate provocation... On the one hand, it is due to his character, and on the other hand, Tuli Khan will come in person to sign an alliance with the Tang envoy soon. How can there be any accidents?

Not far outside the gate of Yunzhong County, more than a hundred Turkic cavalry surrounded hundreds of Han people. The people were afraid, the children were crying, and the surrounded caravan guards were armed with guns and knives. The situation was already on the verge of breaking out.

"Uncle Guo, what should I do?"

A low voice of inquiry came to his ears, and Guo Pu, who was holding a long knife, was a little nervous, "Don't be afraid, Yugushe hasn't been handed over yet, the Turks don't dare..."

Before he finished speaking, he could only hear the sound of a bowstring, and a long arrow was stuck in the wood of the carriage next to him, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking violently.

Fan Shiyi had a strange look on his face, "Uncle Guo, why do you look like Lang Jun..."

They were still joking at this time, and Guo Pu was a little dumbfounded. He cursed in his heart that he had nothing to do, so he insisted on making this trip, but something happened... Until now, he still doesn't know what happened. He had already let him go before.

Suddenly a group of Turks came and surrounded him.

But Fan Shiyi is quite unlucky. From what he heard, he just came here because of something urgent. If he hadn't been waiting for him, he would have left the city... Well, Fan Shiyi has always been responsible for communicating with the association leaders.

"That seems to be a Han Chinese?" Fan Shiyi's eyes were sharpest, and he pointed far away.

Guo Pu squinted his eyes and saw a middle-aged man dressed like a Han man gesticulating. Judging from his gestures, he wanted to send troops to attack...

This thought just flashed through his mind, and before Guo Pu had time to react, dozens of horses suddenly came galloping towards him. The leader of the group just listened to a few words, clamped his legs, and the horse galloped over, with the whip in his hand.

With a whirring sound, the middle-aged Han man was knocked off his horse.

There was a huge uproar around them, but the surrounding Turkic cavalry took no real action... Instead, they retreated away on horseback, watching helplessly as the tail of the exquisite riding whip in the leader's hand fell on the middle-aged Han man again and again.

"After grabbing it all around, you actually grabbed it in the clouds?!" The leader's eyes were spitting fire, and he put more strength in his hands. The middle-aged Han man on the ground screamed repeatedly, but he didn't dare to roll around... in case he was stepped on by the horse's hoof.

, even if you don’t die, you have to be disabled!

The association leader took a deep breath and waved his hand to the Turks and the middle-aged Han people to get out. Qima whispered to Fan Shiyi and urged the caravan to set off as soon as possible.

After discussing with Fan Shiyi, Guo Pu and Fan Shiyi decided to abandon some of their supplies and use horses and carriages to carry as many people as possible, heading south as quickly as possible. At dusk, they met Li Shan who came to greet them.

Before Li Shan could step forward, dozens of big men had already emerged from behind, with tears in their eyes, shouting in agreement, and echoes echoed throughout the caravan.

Yunzhou Qingzhuang, who was taken south by Yuan Junzhang last year, originally hoped to return to his hometown in the north. However, after the wanton killings in Yugushe, they all hoped to move their families to Daizhou.

When Li Shan left Mayi, he was sensitive to the atmosphere, changed his mind temporarily, and took these young men to the north to meet him. At this time, the son was looking for his father, the wife was looking for her husband, and the mother was looking for her son. There were both lamentations and laughter.

, very messy.

Li Shan looked at this scene with emotion and said softly: "If we choose young people from among them, we will naturally be willing to do our best, but after half a year, we have just reunited, how can we bear to see them separated again?"

Zhang Zhongjian on the side did not say a word, but he thought in his heart that His Highness's words were quite benevolent, but even so, these young men who settled in Daizhou and Xinzhou would definitely be included in the government's military roster. His Highness had to summon them and they would form an army immediately.

Guo Pu and Fan Shiyi arrived.

"Lang Jun." Fan Shiyi stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Li Shan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo is actually leading the team this time."

"Goodbye..."

"Uncle Guo, what are you doing?" Li Shan got off his horse and picked up Guo Pu, "Uncle Guo has helped me several times, and I am deeply grateful. Do you want to be separated today by your superiority and inferiority?"

Guo Pu was a little embarrassed. After all, he was a member of the Li family and had no official status, and Li Shan was no longer the young man he first met the year before last.

Li Shan didn't take it seriously. There were things that others didn't understand, but he had to insist on it. He asked a few questions about things outside Yunzhong County, and laughed and scolded: "Jieli Khan is shameless... Well, it's not a bad thing.

"

After a pause, Li Shan explained: "Of course Jieli Khan is not willing to bear all the burden of thirty thousand serfs, so he must collect them from all over the country..."

Li Shan could also guess this, but that person was a little short-sighted and actually came to Yunzhong. He deserved to be whipped by the gang.

"Everything went well?"

"Smooth." Fan Shiyi grinned, but glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

Guo Pu had already retreated, and Zhang Zhongjian on the side was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing, and slowly retreated under the gaze of many personal guards.

Li Shan turned around and gave a comforting look. After all, you have only been with me for a few days. After all, you will be following Pharmacist Li in the future. Then he turned around and asked, "Is that guy from the Association still honest?"

"There's nothing we can do if we're not honest, right?" Fan Shiyi, one of the few people who knew the inside story, whispered, "Before leaving, the members of the association complained a lot, saying that they would have to pay it back in the future."

Li Shan sneered: "Let him do it... maybe he is the second Yu Gu She!"

Fan Shiyi couldn't help but chuckle, he wanted to see that guy... From Shandong Hebei to Shuozhou Mayi, and then to Yanmen, almost every time he appeared, he brought unparalleled benefits to Lang Jun.

It can be said that Li Shan climbed up again and again. In addition to his own ability, luck and the foresight of the travelers, the most important driving force came from two parties. One was Li Dewu and Pei Shiju, and the other was Yu Gushe.

Already.

"Who is that Han?" Li Shan asked casually: "The association rate is that he is the national advisor... Will Khan Jieli use a Han as the national advisor?"

Fan Shiyi responded: "I have also heard of this man in Yunzhou. It is said that he was a close friend of Jieli Khan after he ascended the throne. He was highly valued and respected as a national advisor. This time, he is the one who recruited serfs from other tribes."
To be continued...
