Chapter 389: The Storm is Coming

The reason is very reasonable, and Gu Qing was also very sincere when he said it, since your family is so poor that you have nothing, don't think about developing the economy, it's convenient to sell people directly.

There is no shortage of generals in the Anxi army, but it is difficult to select qualified generals for some special types of troops, so Gu Qing has to look beyond Anxi.

The three thousand Mo knife battalion is not yet full, and the sharpshooter battalion is even more uneven, and now Gu Qing is extremely eager for qualified generals, since the Hexi army has already sold it once, there are one and two, just like the clothes of a woman from a good family, since she took off the first time, then the second time must be smoother than the first, and the third time may turn passive into active, as for the fourth time...... Well, boys have to protect themselves outside.

"No! Ben Shuai said that this is the only case of this matter, and it must never be repeated! Ge Shuhan flatly refused, his face was already displeased, and it seemed that Gu Qing's proposal made him a little annoyed.

Gu Qing was not angry, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said: "Okay, since Geshu Jieshuai is unwilling, I will send someone to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to ask, the Modao Battalion is not full, I can't sleep well, the Hexi Army is unwilling to accept this deal, presumably the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate will not refuse, I heard that they are poorer than the Hexi Army......"

Ge Shuhan's eyes widened, and Gu Qing hurriedly said with a smile: "It's no wonder that you can't make a mistake, the Hexi Army is not poor at all, haha, the festival commander invites wine, drink this cup full, drink it well!" ”

Ge Shuhan snorted and drank his cup angrily.

"Three thousand Mo knife battalion, can you use so many Mo knife hands? Last year, you broke 30,000 thieves in Tubo, and you have already injured Tubo's muscles and bones, and in three or two years, they are afraid that they will not have the strength to invade the Anxi border again, and they have raised 3,000 Mo swordsmen in vain, and they can't waste money so much if they are not short of money. Ge Shuhan said angrily.

Gu Qing took a shallow sip of wine and said with a smile: "Geshu Jieshuai's pattern is really touching, do you think my three thousand Mo sword battalion is to defend against Tibet?" ”

Ge Shuhan was stunned: "Otherwise? Is it for the Qarluq tribe to the north? ”

Gu Qing smiled again: "For the Huawai wilderness of the Qarlu Department, they are not worthy of killing chickens with cattle knives." ”

"For whom?" Goshuhan was piqued with curiosity.

Gu Qing was silent, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly asked a completely irrelevant question: "Geshu Jieshuai, do you feel that your Hexi Jiefu Supervision Army has recently become more and more strict in restricting Jieshuai and the Hexi Army?" ”

Ge Shuhan was stunned for a moment, nodded subconsciously, and said strangely: "How do you know?" ”

Gu Qing smiled: "My Anxi Festival Mansion is actually the same, not only that, Your Majesty has also sent an additional inspector of the imperial history, specifically to supervise one of the Anxi Army's actions." ”

Ge Shuhan said puzzledly: "It turns out that your Anxi Festival Mansion is also ...... Gu Jieshuai, do you know why the prison army of you and me is becoming more and more strict with us? In the past, they were quite peaceful, and rarely interfered in the affairs of the army, until last year I slowly realized that something was wrong, my overseer seemed to be a different person, and he had to meddle in everything, and often argued with me over trivial matters, and I had several unpleasant quarrels with him. ”

Gu Qing sighed: "Say something taboo, because the Son of Heaven is already suspicious of the border generals who hold military power......"

Ge Shuhan was startled, couldn't help but sit up straight, and said, "Why is the Son of Heaven like this? ”

Gu Qing looked directly into his eyes and said slowly: "Because of the envoy of the Three Towns Festival in the north, the military power he has is too great, two years ago there were rumors in Chang'an, saying that he has a heart of disobedience, although His Majesty pressed it, but His Majesty is actually a little uneasy in his heart, but the military power of the Three Towns is very large, and he is afraid of mutiny, so the Son of Heaven has to temporarily shift his gaze, put his mind on other border generals, and take precautions to restrain our military power, and do not allow the appearance of a second Three Towns Festival Envoy." ”

Ge Shuhan said in shock: "What you said about the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, do you mean ...... An Lushan? ”

Gu Qing nodded: "The Son of Heaven has long been suspicious, but he can't announce it to the public, after all, the Son of Heaven has been extremely favored by him over the years, and he has unconsciously sat back and watched his power grow, and now he can't cut his power, so the Son of Heaven has no choice but to focus on other festival envoys......"

Ge Shuhan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said in a low voice: "It is rumored that An Lushan has opposing intentions, what is this rumor ......?"

Gu Qingzheng said: "There are rumors, but they may not be groundless, Geshu Jie Shuai, why do you think I have to spend so much money and food, and it is thankless to form a three-thousand-Mo knife battalion?" Do you think I'm here for the Tibetan and Qarluq tribes? ”

Ge Shuhan was shocked, and said distractedly: "He...... Is there really a backlash? How did you find out? ”

"I already have eyeliner lurking in Fanyang, and there is news over there that the three towns of Fanyang are fighting hard and the soldiers are waiting for war."

Ge Shuhan's mind is very confused, and he still doesn't seem to accept this fact, the Tang Dynasty is still a flawless prosperous era in his eyes, there may be a small war on the border, all of which have been pacified, not to mention, the Yumen Pass is full of flowers, the people have enough food and clothing, where is the appearance of a troubled era coming?

However, An Lushan has 150,000 elite border troops, if he rebels, won't the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty collapse?

"This thief dares to ...... Ann Dare! Ge Shuhan gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"The thief is too favored, easy to be arrogant, unconvinced, disloyal and unrighteous, why doesn't he dare?" Gu Qing said leisurely.

Ge Shuhan raised his head and stared at Gu Qing, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said coldly: "When did you know that he would be opposed?" ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "When I was in Chang'an two years ago, I met him, and at that time I knew that the late virtuous minister Zhang Jiuling's comment was very pertinent, 'Those who mess with Youzhou must be this nonsense'." ”

Ge Shuhan was silent for a long time, and said softly: "I can't listen to one side, I want to investigate this matter secretly." ”

Gu Qing said indifferently: "The marshal is at his own convenience, but I advise you to take advantage of the time of the visit, the armament drills of the Hexi army should be prepared, as far as I know, this thief rebelled and raised troops within this year and a half, at that time, the whole country was in chaos, if the Hexi army in the hands of the marshal rushed to the battle, I am afraid of more casualties." ”

Ge Shuhan had a gloomy face and nodded silently.

…………

In fact, those who know are silently praying and waiting, waiting for the expected to happen suddenly.

Fan Yang City.

There are many soldiers and generals coming and going in the city, but the people and merchants on the street are not as many as the soldiers, it looks like a veritable military town, and the place where soldiers are stationed outside the city has also become a leisure place for soldiers to come and go freely.

Feng Yu was dressed in green clothes, staggered out of a restaurant with a wine burp, and almost fell on his back.

A pair of strong hands stretched out on the side and held his arm, Feng Yu stood firmly, and then smiled at the man drunkenly, shook his body and saluted: "Many, thank you...... General Shi, see and laugh, hehe, see and laugh......"

The general surnamed Shi smiled heartily, showed concern, patted Feng Yu's arm lightly, and said: "Although Feng Gongzi is young, the amount of alcohol is far inferior to that of soldiers such as me. ”

Feng Yu laughed and said, "General Shi is not happy, and Feng's crime is also." Walk! Let's drink it again, if we don't drink General Shi today, I won't drink a drop of wine from now on! ”

The general surnamed Shi hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "That's it, you and I have been here for a long time, and I met Feng Gongzi today, and I am very happy, I have made this friend of yours Shi Mou!" ”

Feng Yu grinned, burped again, and said with a big tongue: "General Shi, the wine is not enough, but we can't forget what we talked about, I ...... We, the ...... Grain and grass ......"

General Shi said with a smile: "I won't forget, you first transport the first batch of grain and grass from the south 5,000 stones, and I will let the grain officer see the condition, and if you are satisfied, add another 20,000 stones." ”

Feng Yu still seemed to be a little sober, and when he heard this, he said: "It's decided, 20,000 stones, after this autumn, there will be a bumper harvest of wheat in Huainan Road, Henan Province, and I have some friendship with the local government, and there is no problem in gathering 20,000 stones of grain and grass......

General Shi smiled happily: "If the grain and grass are transported to Fanyang, I will settle the payment with you immediately, and I will never be in arrears." ”

Feng Yu smiled: "Then ...... Much, thank you General Shi, the wine is not finished today, and the villain will make an appointment with the Red Sleeves Building later. ”

Mysteriously approaching General Shi, Feng Yu smiled informally: "I heard that there are two new charming little ladies in the Red Sleeves Building, but they are all young girls, how about asking General Shi to start a meat season for them tonight?" ”

General Shi's eyebrows moved slightly, and he laughed, and the men understood the meaning of his smile.

Then Feng Yu and General Shi said goodbye, General Shi left under the hug of the guards, Feng Yu also shook his body, staggered to the side of the road, and after deliberately going around a few circles in the city, he dodged into a dark alley.

Li Jianjiu squatted in the corner of the dark alley, yawning boredly, suddenly his eyes darkened, Li Jianjiu was startled, and before he could react, he heard Feng Yu laugh lightly: "The so-called beauty, squatting on the wall and sleeping, is really a sin." ”

Li Jianjiu let down his guard, glanced at him angrily, and said, "You spend all day drinking, but I am sleeping outside, why!" ”

Feng Yu looked at her affectionately, and said softly in a deep voice full of magnetism: "Just because you have me in your heart, you are worried about me, so you have to protect me, thank you, Ah Jiu." ”

Li Jianjiu's body trembled violently, and then he stomped his feet angrily: "Who, who asked you to call me Ah Jiu?" Don't scream! ”

"If you don't call you Ah Jiu, do you call you Ah Jian? Little sword? Little sword sword? ”

Suddenly there was a bang in the dark alley, and it was the sound of a sword unsheathed.

Feng Yu decisively admitted: "I was wrong, Miss Li, I'm just a child, forgive me." ”

Li Jianjiu returned the sword into the sheath, unnaturally cut his sideburns, and tried to hide his violent heartbeat.

This guy is so good at women, just a few words made her heart flutter, and she almost couldn't control herself.

"Tell me, what did you get out of drinking with those generals today?" Li Jianjiu said with a straight face.

Feng Yu said: "The general surnamed Shi is named Shi Siming, he is the first general under An Lushan, he is the Taishou of Beiping and the military envoy of Lu Long, An Lushan relies on him a lot, I am through An Lushan's subordinates It was not easy to get acquainted with him, and today I made a deal with him to win his trust......

"What kind of deal?"

"An Lushan is about to raise troops, and now he is hoarding grain and grass everywhere, so I will take this opportunity to sell him 5,000 stone of grain and grass in a few days."

Li Jianjiu stared at his face and said softly, "Can I help?" ”

Feng Yu's expression suddenly became solemn: "Help me pass on a message to Gu Hou Ye, I have already heard that An Lushan is determined to raise troops, and it will be about two or three months, please prepare Gu Hou Ye." ”
