"Fu Jun save Doctor Feng, for so many years, he has been bitter in his heart! If it weren't for the serious illness, the last general would not have taken the initiative to beg Fu Jun!"

As he spoke, the brigade leader stood up and knelt down in front of Du Fu, bursting into tears.

After the loss of Luoyang, Emperor Xuanzong sent an edict to him to return to Beijing to die. However, in the end, he did not obediently return to Beijing to die, but ran away with his subordinates and went north to the land of clouds, and kept harassing the lair of Anshi's traitors.

Of course, Du Fu was sympathetic to Feng Changqing's situation, but no one in power was willing to pardon him, whether it was Xuanzong or when the son of Jinzi was in power, although the world was just employing people. The reason is very simple, Feng Changqing did not obey the edict and fled, which directly challenged the authority of the Son of Heaven, if it is easy to forgive, then the people of the world will inevitably lose their awe of the authority of the Son of Heaven and follow suit.

It was not until Qin Jin Ke restored Chang'an that he sent people to the land of clouds to contact Feng Changqing many times, hoping that he could return to the imperial court. But Feng Changqing has his difficulties, he turned his back on the Son of Heaven and ran away, and he was ready to die on the battlefield, and now he has returned to Chang'an without the size of his work, even if the people of the world do not criticize him, he himself is difficult to feel at ease.

However, due to the lack of supplies, Feng Changqing's subordinates had been reduced to more than 1,000 soldiers and horses after several years of war, and they were still exhausted. How could such a team of men and horses directly attack Fan Yang, the old nest of the historical thief rebels in Youzhou?

Failing to do this, Feng Changqing's heart became more and more depressed, and it was reasonable for him to fall ill.

However, sympathy is sympathy, but Du Fu knew that letting Feng Changqing return to Chang'an at this time would bring a lot of trouble to Qin Jin. Although Emperor Xuanzong is dead, and the current son is also in power, the opponents of Qin and Jin are still standing in the court and the opposition. Even if you are cautious everywhere, you will be criticized from time to time, and then moving back the big tree of Feng Changqing, which attracts the wind, will only cause trouble.

Just this morning, the envoy of the Son of Heaven arrived in Taiyuan City, the imperial court has officially taken action against Hebei Province, the most important thing to do at this time is to do its best to cooperate from the side, Feng Changqing is probably inappropriate to return to Chang'an at such a critical moment.

Du Fu knew that Qin Jin had an unusual admiration and sympathy for Feng Changqing, and if this matter reached Qin Jin's ears, Qin Jin's character would definitely take Feng Changqing back against public opinion.

After weighing it, Du Fu decided that this matter would end in Taiyuan for the time being, but he didn't want to see Feng Changqing die without help.

"Just this morning, the envoy of the imperial court arrived, and Yan Zhenqing, the Taishou of Pingyuan County, patrolled Hebei with the Son of Heaven Fu Festival, do you know what this means?"

Of course, the brigade rate was not a fool, and he immediately understood the meaning behind these words.

I saw that his eyes flashed with excitement, and he almost lost his voice and asked:

"The imperial court, the imperial court has decided to march into Hebei and completely eradicate the rebels of the historical thieves?"

Du Fu nodded solemnly, and said slowly:

"Not only have the counties and counties of Dugi Province been mobilized, but even Hedong Province and Shuofang Province have been prepared to respond, and the day of the destruction of the Anshi traitors who have plagued the world for nearly ten years is not far away!"

Du Fu's words were filled with a little emotion and embarrassment, and the excited flames in the brigade's eyes jumped, and large hot tears rolled down from his eyes.

"Doctor Feng is waiting, waiting for today, but his body is ......"

At this point, he was choked up and unable to speak. These * soldiers who fled to the north with Feng Changqing were holding their breath in their hearts, on the one hand, they were resentful of the imperial court, and on the other hand, they were also loyal and sympathetic to the boss. Although Feng Changqing is a famous general with great martial arts, isn't it a fool's dream to let him lead a rabble of prisoners and market gangsters to block Youyan Iron Cavalry?

However, Emperor Xuanzong just wanted to use Feng Changqing as a scapegoat, and would rather kill the meritorious generals who had meritorious service to the state than take the responsibility.

Therefore, these soldiers who fled to the north with Feng Changqing have an expectation in their hearts, that is, there will be a day to smash Fan Yang and wash away all the shame of injustice for the commander. Now, the imperial court has decided to officially mobilize troops against the historical thief rebels entrenched in Hebei, but Dr. Feng's body is ill at an inopportune time, so how can it not make people feel sorry and sad?

After being silent for a while, Du Fu said slowly:

"It's a long way to Chang'an, it's a bumpy road, it's hard to guarantee that the health won't deteriorate further, Doctor Feng might as well move to Taiyuan City, the old man will send someone to Chang'an City to find a famous doctor now, how about it?"

With this kind of arrangement, the brigade rate is already very satisfied and satisfied, and he is afraid that Du Fu will delay and pass the buck like those officials before, and now he is very happy to get a word of accuracy, how can he still ask for anything else?

"As long as there is Fujun's words, the last general will go back immediately, and he will invite Dr. Feng to Taiyuan in a few days!"

The brigade is a straightforward person, who does not say high-sounding words, and will say whatever comes to mind. Du Fu smiled slightly bitterly, he was no longer the poor and sour little official who had an untimely stomach, and in order to implement the plan, he also learned to seek straightness in the song. Now that he saw Feng Changqing, a general who did not understand the world, he was particularly touched.

If it weren't for Qin Jin's almost paranoid promotion, maybe he would still be hesitant on the difficult road of seeking office. Of course, seeking official positions is not Du Fu's ultimate goal, but achieving his ambitions and ideals is the ultimate goal.

Therefore, on the road to this ideal, it is inevitable to learn to be flexible and learn some necessary means. However, no matter how much it changes, Du Fu's heart has not changed, and he will not sit idly by and watch Feng Changqing die of starvation outside the Saiwai.

After obtaining the governor's permission, the brigade selected dozens of good horses, made up for the shortage of dead on the road, and went out of the city to the north overnight.

In the middle of the moon, Du Fu sat crookedly in front of the bookcase after disposing of the last stack of official documents to rest, his tired body was extremely relaxed, but his mind was spinning thoughts quickly.

"Fujun, Lu Jiedu asks to see you!"

When he arrived, Du Fu's half-squinted eyes opened, could it be that Lu Qi's visit at night was an urgent military business?

"Please!"

As he spoke, he had already gotten up and began to clean up his official robes. Lu Qi is an envoy of Hedong Jiedu, not an ordinary official, so naturally he cannot be received in the back hall where he handles official business on weekdays, and must be received in the middle of the hall.

Lu Qi's face was a little tired and frosty, and when he saw Du Fu, he got straight to the point:

"The subordinate went to the mountain pass near Taiyuan in Taihang Mountain today, and there is no sign of frequent mobilization of the thief rebels, but some of the situations are quite strange, so I came to discuss with Fujun!"

The governor and the festival envoy all hold the Son of Heaven runes, but there is a distinction between high and low ranks, the festival degree envoy as an envoy, the official is generally awarded the imperial doctor, and the Qin and Jin Dynasty in the setting of the governor of the envoy, in order to be able to control the temperance of the envoy, then add the official of the right servant of the Shangshu. Therefore, Lu Qi claimed to be a subordinate in front of Du Fu.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Qi sat down and said:

"The imperial court has made a move in Hebei, and the historical thief rebels should have something to deal with, but the subordinates found that many horses were not heading south, but heading north. ”

This situation also surprised Du Fu, as a court official who patrolled Hedong, he was of course familiar with the deployment of the rebels. For a long time, Shi Siming has been Chen Chongbing's front line in Yecheng, and now a large number of people are suddenly heading north, which is naturally unusual.

"What is Lu Jiedu's insight?"

Lu Qi seemed to have thought of the answer a long time ago, and blurted out:

"The following officials speculate that there must be a change within the history thief, and these people who went north may be fighting for power!"

As Lu Qi spoke, he stared at Du Fu's face again, noticing any change in his expression, and then said:

"The subordinates thought that Hedong should send a partial division at this time to go deep into Hebei Province to investigate the situation, if it is serious, if there is really internal strife, it will be a God-given opportunity!"

Lu Qi, who has always been known for his steadiness, even trembled faintly when he spoke at this time, which showed that he was only excited and excited in his heart.

Since the establishment of the governor, Du Fu and Lu Qi's cooperation has been quite tacit, of course, he knows that Lu Qi came late at night not only to discuss the military situation, but to hope that he can agree and agree to send troops.

Du Fu didn't say anything, and asked directly:

"How many soldiers and horses do you need?"

Lu Qi stretched out his finger and gestured.

"A thousand?"

Lu Qi shook his head and said:

"At least ten thousand!"

There are 50,000 Shenwu troops in the east of the river, and in addition to Gongwei Taiyuan, at least half of them are used to be promoted at any time to support the counties that have been attacked. Now Lu Qi is going to send 10,000 horses to Hebei, if it is lost, this kind of loss is not something that Hedong can bear, so Du Fu is a little hesitant.

He was entrusted with the important task of patrolling Hedong with the Son of Heaven Fu Festival, so he naturally had a very heavy responsibility, and Lu Qi's plan was a little too risky, and in the final analysis, it was the intention of fighting for merit at work.

"If this is a trap of the historical thieves and rebels, has Lu Jiedu ever thought of a way to deal with it?"

Lu Qi smiled:

"Wandering between the armies is the strength of the Shenwu Army, once it encounters a strong enemy, it is to find an opportunity to retreat, so why confront the thieves head-on?"

In any case, Du Fu couldn't agree so hastily, so he said:

"This matter is very important, Du suggested, one is to ask the court for instructions, and the other is to convene all the officials to discuss together!"

Lu Qi had long foreseen that this risky strategy would not easily persuade the conservative Du Fu, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Since Fu Jun is unwilling to send troops, the subordinates have another suggestion, isn't there a ready-made army in Youyan Saibei?"

Suddenly, Du Fu understood that Lu Qi did not plan to send 10,000 elite Shenwu troops at all, but hoped to use Feng Changqing's troops stranded in Saibei to make a spy move for the Shenwu army!
