"The escort team encountered an accident when crossing the mouth of Biandu, Ashina took the opportunity to make trouble, Dugu Yanjing broke the siege meritoriously, and because of this, the old wound recurred, according to the system, the imperial court needs to be dealt with preferentially. ”

Huang Xuan is just a team, but when facing Zhou Yu, who is the deputy envoy of Hexi Jiedu, he is not afraid, nor is he humble or arrogant. This made Zhou Mi very surprised, the low-level military officials in this era have an instinctive fear of being a superior, especially he is also a deputy envoy of the festival with a lot of power, and the entire Hexi originally belonged to him in the highest position of power except for Wang Sili, and now he has become the de facto first. This person was able to deal with it so calmly, and there was no trace of awe in his eyes, as if the person talking to him was just an ordinary person like Zhang San and Li Si.

"Since Dugu Yanjing has meritorious, he can naturally think about it in the long run, and the Huang team will do it according to the usual practice, send an official letter to the Changshi Mansion, and Zhou will give them priority treatment!"

With these words, the matter of Dugu Yanjing staying to recuperate from his injuries was a certainty, and Huang Xuan's face showed a relaxed smile, but this smile was only fleeting. He immediately got up again and saluted Zhou Mi.

"The envoy is grateful, and if he does not command the subordinates, he will retire......"

After saying that, Huang Xuan planned to bow his body and withdraw, but Zhou Yu's eyelids suddenly jumped.

"Wait!"

Huang Xuan stopped.

"Dare to ask the ambassador what else he commands?"

Zhou Mi Dao:

"No, the yellow team is from Guanzhong, have you ever heard that the imperial court will use troops against Hebei Province?"

He inquired about the use of troops in Hebei Province, naturally trying to guess where the center of gravity of the imperial court would be. After all, Hexi is still too closed compared with Longyou, and a Qilian Mountain is naturally separated from I don't know much news.

Huang Xuan replied very calmly, and said almost without thinking:

"Hebei Provincial History Thief Siming has only bluffed for a few months, and there is no substantive action, I heard that Hebei has made trouble this year*, and hunger is everywhere, I'm afraid I won't be able to move troops this year!"

This news was beyond Zhou Mi's expectations, he originally thought that Qin Jin must have something else to do, but he never imagined that God was secretly helping him.

"Isn't the famine in Hebei a great opportunity for the imperial court to mobilize troops to completely exterminate the traitors?

Such a question seemed to stump Huang Xuan, and he thought for a moment before saying:

"The subordinate is just a humble subordinate, it is really difficult to guess what kind of foresight the imperial court has, and I ask the ambassador for forgiveness!"

"Yes, yes, this shouldn't have been asked to Team Huang!"

Zhou Mi smiled awkwardly, laughing a little unnaturally, but his heart was already like a mirror, it seemed that Qin Jin's ambition was not only to eliminate Shi Siming's traitors in Hebei Province, but also to clean up the situation in the world in a comprehensive way, in a vain attempt to restore the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to the state of extreme prosperity in the Tianbao period in a short period of time.

Obviously, in such a rush for quick success, there can only be one explanation, but it cannot be said.

"Okay, the yellow team is just going to rest, Zhou will personally explain to the people in the post house, let them entertain them well, and don't slack off!"

When these words came out, it seemed like the deputy envoy of the dignified temperance was tying up a small team.

Huang Xuan thanked him again and again, and finally withdrew from the Jiedu Envoy Hall.

Out of the Shuai Hall, he planned to go back to the pavilion to rest first, but suddenly saw several horses galloping by, and the dust and wind brought up along the way made his heart beat suddenly, and a bloody aura unique to the battlefield made him suddenly alert.

"This is Anthy's messenger!"

Someone on the side of the road pointed at the rider and shouted.

Huang Xuan squinted his eyes again and looked at the horses that were getting farther and farther away, only to see that they were all bloody, their clothes and armor were ragged, and it seemed that they had escaped death after a vicious battle.

But this kind of surprise and suspicion can only be hidden in his heart, and it is impossible for a small team to participate in anything that is made by the Hexi Jiedu. However, Anthy's situation is closely related to it, and he has to lead 3,000 prisoners to Anthy, and whether Anthy's situation is good or bad will determine the fate they will face.

Huang Xuan only planned to rest in Zhangye for a day, and leave early tomorrow morning, and then take the opportunity to resign to Zhou Yu to inquire again, and he would know everything. Of course, Huang Xuan is just a small team, no matter according to the convention or rank, there is no need for Zhou Mi to meet him, but he just has a hunch that Zhou Mi will definitely meet him.

In fact, there was no need to wait for tomorrow, Huang Xuan had just arrived at the pavilion, and the military officials of the Jiedu envoy had already arrived first.

"Dare to ask, but General Huang?"

"General Huang?"

Huang Xuan felt strange, his surname was indeed Huang, but he was still 108,000 miles away from the rank of general, so he naturally didn't dare to pretend to admit it, in case the other party just recognized the wrong person.

The officer immediately realized what was going on, and explained:

"But General Huang who escorted the prisoners to Anxi?"

In this way, Huang Xuan understood that the other party did not recognize the wrong person, and it has become a compliment for people to call the warrior a general, even if it is an ordinary soldier, if ordinary people want to stammer, it is not strange to call a general.

"It's under it, but the general doesn't dare to be it, don't call it that!"

The officer smiled very skillfully.

"What else can a marshal sit on a guest if he is not a general? General Huang should not be humble!"

This time, Huang Xuan was completely shocked, if Zhou Yu's politeness to him before could be reluctantly explained with politeness, then the stammering words of this military official could no longer be measured by common sense.

"This, this ......"

Only then did the officer say firmly:

"General Huang, don't delay any longer, the marshal does have something important to ask, please move as soon as possible!"

The urging was very urgent, and Huang Xuan had vaguely realized that Zhou Yu's summons must be related to the Anxi messenger just now.

Huang Xuan's guess was right, the Anxi messenger brought bad news, the Qiuzi where the Anxi Jiedu envoy was located was besieged by the Turgish, and they came to ask for help from the Hexi army.

However, at this time, Zhou Mi could only spread his hands, and he couldn't help it.

"The imperial court is in turmoil, more than eighty percent of the Hexi army has been transferred to Guanzhong, and the current Hexi is useless to tell the truth, even if you have the heart to save Anxi, you have no spare strength!"

Huang Xuan guessed the reason, but he didn't guess the root cause It was so shocking, Qiuzi had 10,000 Shenwu troops brought by Zheng Xianli, and its combat effectiveness was definitely not low, although the number may be a little less, but it would not be beaten by the Tuqi Shi people without the power to fight back?

And isn't this Tuqi Shi always oscillating between the Great Cannibal and the Tang Dynasty? How could he be the first to take the lead in the fire of others?

Huang Xuan's attitude towards Zhou Yu is still very strange, he doesn't know what the idea of this deputy envoy of Jiedu is, after all, he is just a small team, what ability can he help him?

However, after all, he is a dignified deputy envoy of Jiedu, and it is already a great courtesy to be able to speak with a team member who is almost on an equal footing, so he can only wait quietly for Zhou Yu to explain his intentions.

Zhou Mi did have something to ask for Huang Xuan.

"The prisoners led by General Huang are all the children of the former family, if they can be armed into an army, even if they are not the army of tigers and wolves, they will definitely be able to ......"

"Report, Anxi urgent report ......"

Just as Zhou Mi was considering his words, another messenger from Anxi arrived. This is not to say that the situation in Anxi is becoming more urgent, because there are thousands of miles of Gobi Desert between Qiuzi and Zhangye, and only a team of messengers may not be able to reach it safely, and it has become customary to send a few more routes just in case.

Of course, with these few words of Zhou Mi, it was enough, and Huang Xuan could roughly guess his basic intentions. It is not impossible to arm 3,000 prisoners, the question is whether such a contingent of prisoners improvised can have combat effectiveness, and it is still between the two.

"Although General Huang can rest assured, he can recruit this batch of prisoners in the name of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, and General Huang will be the envoy of soldiers and horses, how about it?"

Three thousand prisoners formed an army of their own, and they were about to leap from a small team to a soldier and horse, Huang Xuan couldn't help but grow his mouth in shock.

"This, how does this make ......"

It is not enough to take only 3,000 prisoners, but also to count the military spirit of 3,000 prisoners, these people have fallen from the pride of heaven to the despised prisoners, their resentment against the court is undoubted, once they are armed, what will be the consequences, no one can predict. However, Zhou Mi soon offered a price that even he couldn't refuse.

"As a deputy envoy of the festival, you can think that the imperial court will ask for the title of the prisoners, as long as you join the newly established army, you can buy and sell the previous crimes, and once you make meritorious service, you will be doubled, and they will definitely serve their lives desperately!"

Such a suggestion will take a lot of responsibility, Huang Xuan has always thought that Zhou Yu is a cautious and fearful figure, but now it seems that he has been greatly underestimated before.

"The ambassador is so daring, what else can the subordinates refuse!"

Zhou Mi stood up, high-fived and said:

"Although there are not many soldiers and horses left in Hexi, they can also allocate 2,000 people for the general's errand. ”

Huang Xuan had been an instructor in the Shenwu Army Preparatory School, and he was well aware of the Shenwu Army's method of training soldiers, and on the same day, he organized a full 5,000 people into a super-large army with the establishment of the Shenwu Army. According to the usual establishment of the Shenwu Army, 3,000 people are a legion, which can form a complete military formation. However, from Hexi to Anxi, there is an open Gobi everywhere, not to mention a large army of 5,000 people, even a large army of 10,000 people can be laid out.

At the same time, Zhou Mi personally mobilized the prisoners before the war in the name of the deputy envoy of the Hexi Army. With the guarantee of the deputy envoy of Jiedu, the prisoners were excited one by one, and they couldn't imagine that before they left Hexi, their fate had changed, and from the moment they joined the Hexi Army, they were no longer despicable prisoners!

"Kill the thief and make a great contribution!"

The slogan that Zhou Mi thought of in advance fully mobilized their enthusiasm, killing the thieves, and making great contributions means that they will be rewarded with honors, and awarding awards means that they will be able to regain their glory and restore the lintel!
