Chapter 367: Something is about to happen
Fan Yang City.
Fanyang is a border city, it faces the remnants of the Turkic forces in the north and the Khitan and other tribes, the Tang Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, the threat of the north has been basically eradicated as early as the Gaozong period, and most of the remaining are some remnant forces, these nomads lack food and clothing, especially in the winter is difficult to survive.
So although they know that the Tang Dynasty is not easy to mess with, every winter the clansmen of these tribes will still venture south, loot the border towns and farms of the Tang Dynasty, and if they are lucky, they can rob some grain and bring it back to the northern grassland, and spend the winter calmly.
Therefore, the border city of Fanyang is responsible for a very important task of guarding the border, and since the beginning of the Wu Zetian period, the imperial court has continuously invested countless soldiers, horses, and money and food in this border city, and gradually formed one of the top ten border towns in the Tang Dynasty.
Unfortunately, the current owner of this border city is An Lushan.
Feng Yu has been doing well in Fanyang recently.
Even Li Jianqi was very surprised, he couldn't figure out where Gu Hou Ye found the talents, he could actually be like a fish in water in Fanyang City, the generals and magnates Feng Yu all knew each other, and their personal relationships were even very good.
In just two months after coming to Fanyang, Feng Yu has become a guest of many generals, not only can he enter and leave their mansions freely, but he can even be invited to visit the camp of Fanyang's border army, and sit in the tent of the camp to talk and laugh with the generals.
His external identity is just the son of a wealthy landlord in Yizhou, could it be that the generals under An Lushan like to make friends with the son of a gentleman so much?
Li Jianqi couldn't figure it out.
For her, Fan Yang is behind enemy lines, surrounded by songs on all sides, Li Twelve Niang has already told her that An Lushan is their mortal enemy, the kind that does not share the sky, Li Jianqi has followed Li Twelve Niang to Fan Yang many times, all looking for opportunities to assassinate An Lushan, but it didn't work out after all.
So for Li Jianqi, Fan Yang is a very dangerous place, she lives in seclusion in a private house in disguise, and walks on thin ice carefully every day, not only learning the local dialect vividly, but also trying to look very ordinary in dress and appearance, the kind of ordinary that no one will notice in the crowd.
Rao is like this, Li Jianqi lived every day in Fanyang in fear, for fear that one day the officers and soldiers would suddenly surround her courtyard and capture her alive.
In contrast, Feng Yu's life in Fan Yang was simply too nourishing, so moist that even Li Jianqi was secretly jealous.
What kind of ecstasy soup did this guy pour into the generals under An Lushan, why did every general be polite to him, and he was so affectionate that he just burned yellow paper and plugged it into the stove to marry Jin Lan.
Li Jianqi has been secretly following Feng Yu, she doesn't know what Feng Yu wants to do, Li Twelve Niang has already instructed, everything to cooperate with Feng Yu is, you can expose your whereabouts to protect him when you are in danger, and then the two quickly escaped from Fan Yang.
It's a pity that in the past two months, Feng Yu seems to be getting better and better, and she doesn't need her protection at all, and she has been almost targeted by the guards' guards several times every day.
That night, Li Jianqi followed Feng Yu as usual, watching him and a group of generals enter a green building, Li Jianqi squatted in the corner of the dark alley outside, looking at the lanterns of the green building not far away, and the warblers singing and dancing inside were full of Zhang Shuwei, a noisy and profligate movement, Li Jianqi couldn't help pouting, and secretly scolded "Dengzi".
In the past two months with Feng Yu, this guy has to take a few generals to visit the Qinglou almost every day, and he himself even directly chartered a room in the Qinglou, Li Jianqi couldn't help but curse secretly, and he was not afraid of hollowing out his body.
I waited outside the Qinglou until almost midnight, when a group of generals went downstairs satisfied, one by one drunk and hiccuping, low and high, staggering and refusing to fall.
Feng Yu was also staggering, personally sent the generals downstairs, said goodbye to them one by one, and agreed to meet again tomorrow.
Seeing the generals riding away on their horses with the support of the guards, Feng Yu straightened up and burped, and the cold night breeze blew, and suddenly a burst of alcohol surged, Feng Yu quickly ran to the side of the road, and vomited.
After a long while, Feng Yu finally vomited clean, let out a long sigh of relief, and glanced at a dark alley opposite the Qinglou, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
Quickly scanning left and right, and finding that there were no obstructive people watching, Feng Yu staggered towards the dark alley, carrying his belt as he walked, as if he was going to urinate in the alley.
Walking into the dark alley, Feng Yu had just let go of his belt, and a cold voice came from the dark corner.
"If you dare to make it convenient here, I will cut yours, your ...... Hum! ”
Feng Yule said: "The girl is experienced, she knows what the man has, haha......"
Before the laughter fell, a wind blew in his ears, and the dust on the earthen wall behind Feng Yu was flying, and when the dust dissipated, a large piece of the bricks of the earthen wall was missing, and I don't know what kind of hidden weapon was used, which was very powerful.
Feng Yu's drunkenness suddenly woke up for seven minutes, and he hurriedly returned to his serious appearance.
"Girl, I was wrong, I lost my words after drinking, don't blame the girl." After speaking, Feng Yu bowed respectfully to Li Jianqi.
In the dark corner, the corners of Li Jianqi's mouth hooked, and then quickly returned to his indifferent appearance.
"You have been in frequent contact with the generals under An Lushan in the past few days, have you gotten any news?" Li Jianqi said in a low voice.
Feng Yu was not a serious person by nature, and his expression became frivolous when he heard this: "How can the news be so easy to get, I have only known them for a long time, and they are not stupid, just after they met, they told me about the military aircraft, are they not afraid of losing their heads." ”
Li Jianqi said dissatisfiedly: "Then what are you busy with these days?" Eat and drink with those generals without purpose? ”
Feng Yu Zhengse said: "Eating and drinking is also a serious matter, and my sacrifice is not small, every day the girls in the Qinglou serve them, they are all my treats, and the expenses are very large, Gu Houye has spent most of the money I gave me, not to mention that I drink and eat meat all day long, and I have gained more than ten pounds, how sad it is......"
Li Jianqi said angrily: "Surrounded by warblers and Yanyan every day, I am embarrassed to say 'sad', have you forgotten what your surname is?" ”
Feng Yu suddenly showed a look of grief and indignation: "Do you think it's wonderful to be surrounded by those vulgar fans?" Do you think I'm as happy as you think? You're wrong! ”
Li Jianqi said puzzledly: "You ......"
Feng Yu's face suddenly changed, and his expression was so cheap: "...... The joy of visiting the Qinglou every day is something you can't imagine. ”
Li Jianqi: "............"
In the dark alley, there was a sudden stormy sound of blowing, mixed with Feng Yu's muffled snort of pain.
After the rainstorm, Feng Yu looked pained and seriously apologized: "Girl, I was wrong, I drank wine just now, and it is inevitable that my words and deeds will be out of shape, girl, please forgive me, don't do it again." ”
Li Jianqi said coldly: "Let's get down to business, if there is no news, I will go back." ”
Feng Yu said: "There is news, An Lushan secretly met with the leader of the Sumo tribe in the northeast last month, and borrowed 20,000 elite soldiers from the Sumo tribe at the cost of 300,000 stone grain and 10,000 war horses. ”
Li Jianqi was shocked: "I borrowed 20,000 soldiers and horses from other races without permission, and I have entered the territory of my Datang to station, An Lushan is ......"
Feng Yu glanced at her strangely and said, "What are you panicking about?" An Lushan already has the intention of rebellion, isn't it normal to seconded foreign soldiers and horses? ”
Li Jianqi calmed down his emotions and sighed: "Twelve Niang has always said that An Lushan will be opposed, and I have heard it many times, but today I really found that he began to put it into action, and I was inevitably a little surprised, the Son of Heaven treated An Lushan so kindly, and he was not self-sufficient, this thief is really ......."
Feng Yu said coldly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different. The Son of Heaven believed in the wrong person, and mistakenly paid many years of grace to the wolf and thief, and the prosperous world was about to change into a chaotic world, but it was a pity that the prosperous world and the people were pitied......"
Li Jianqi said solemnly: "This news should be transmitted to Twelve Niang and Gu Hou Ye immediately, don't delay, leave the news to me, I have a way, you ...... Be careful. ”
Feng Yu said with a smile: "This is just the beginning, in a few days, I will probably be able to find out the deployment of An Lushan's soldiers and horses, and the roster of generals above the brigade commander level under his command, as well as the location where they store grain, grass, weapons and war horses, Brother Gu also said that An Lushan sent someone to secretly pit him once in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, asking me to find a chance to take revenge, I am pondering this matter to see if I can find the right time......"
Li Jianqi said worriedly: "The generals under An Lushan are not easy to match, and you have no power to restrain the chicken......
Feng Yu laughed and said: "You can do earth-shattering things without the power of a chicken, if you don't believe it, you can see the results in a while." ”
Li Jianqi's eyes were full of brilliance, his face suddenly turned red, and his voice became cowardly: "In short, you ...... Be careful, if there is a danger, I will save you, even if you can't escape, we ...... will also die together. ”
Feng Yu sighed and said: "If you want to die, I don't want to die, in a good year, I haven't conquered the warbler Yanyan in the world, how can I say the word 'death' lightly, phew, unlucky!" ”
Li Jianqi's face froze: "You ......"
Feng Yu hurriedly said: "Oh, joking with you, of course I am willing to live and die with you, you and I are robes who share weal and pain, if one day I really expose my identity, you and I will be short-lived mandarin ducks together, and go to Huangquan hand in hand, maybe Yan Jun will see you and me in true love, let me be husband and wife in the next life......
The words made Li Jianqi's heartstrings clanging, and he instantly lost his reason and proportion, and he was so shy that he almost found a crack in the ground to get into.
Li Jianqi was adopted by Li Twelve Niang since he was a child, Li Twelve Niang's subordinates are all female disciples, Li Jianqi has never intersected with strange men, where can he withstand Feng Yu's extremely powerful provocative words.
"You, you, you...... No nonsense! Li Jianqi was paralyzed, and he had no strength to beat him.
Feng Yu glanced at her quickly and smiled improperly.
It seems to be quite easy to get the hearts of women in the world, why did I hear that Brother Gu is still a child? I can't figure it out.
…………
Fan Yang Festival Embassy.
An Lushan's fat body slowly moved towards the main hall, and Li Zhu'er, the henchman next to him, supported him, and he was too tired to take every step.
The world is so strange, a fat man who has a hard time walking actually hides a wolf ambition to rebel.
When the power in a person's hands reaches a certain point, his mentality will gradually swell, no matter how clumsy and incredible it seems, he will do things that must be in line with his inflated mentality, no matter success or failure.
Sun Xiaozhe stood respectfully and solemnly under the corridor of the main hall, and when he saw An Lushan staggering, Sun Xiaozhe stepped forward two steps forward and supported his other side.
An Lushan smiled at Sun Xiaozhe, and the fat on his face instantly squeezed a pair of small mung bean eyes to the point that he couldn't even see the gaps, and his whole face looked like a flawless ball of meat.
"Jie Shuai, a messenger from the end of Su has arrived, and I met with the last general in the morning......" Sun Xiaozhe said carefully.
An Lushan's eyebrows were flat, and he said, "What did the envoy say?" ”
Sun Xiaozhe showed indignation and said: "The envoy took advantage of the fire to rob and increase the price, saying that 300,000 stone grain and 10,000 war horses were not enough, and we wanted to add another 10,000 war horses and 100,000 catties of pig iron, otherwise we would withdraw the 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Yingzhou." ”
An Lushan snorted and said, "Tell the envoy that at this price, not a penny will be added, if they dare to withdraw their troops, I will not be able to fight for troops, and I will destroy the Sumo tribe first!" ”
Sun Xiaozhe was obviously quite surprised by An Lushan's reaction, hesitated for a moment, and said carefully: "Jieshuai, our arrows are already on the string, and we can't make branches, according to the general's opinion, it is better to ...... For the time being, I promised them first, and after the commander of the festival defeated the Tang Dynasty and owned the world, it would not be too late to find Su Mo to open the knife......"
An Lushan said with a smile: "This handsome soldier is strong and strong, with nearly 200,000 male soldiers under his command, the soldiers and horses at the end of Su are not urgently needed for me, they dare to increase the price at this time, I am not as good as they want, Xiaozhe, you go and refuse them, and tell him that if you dare not follow me to raise troops, I will destroy the entire Su Mo clan and teach them not to leave chickens and dogs." ”
Sun Xiaozhe was stunned for a long time, and responded with a fist in disappointment.
An Lushan quickly glanced at him and said, "You should have accepted their benefits by helping them speak like this, right?" ”
Sun Xiaozhe was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The last general doesn't dare, the last general hasn't received a penny, it's all for the sake of the marshal's plan." ”
An Lushan sneered: "Didn't collect a penny? Why do I remember that you received a thousand war horses and ten thousand catties of pig iron from the messenger, which are worth a lot of money when sold? ”
Sun Xiaozhe was so frightened that his heart was broken, he didn't expect An Lushan to be so clear about the benefits he secretly received, and even the number was exactly the same, obviously with eyeliner planted beside him.
Kneeling down with a plop, Sun Xiaozhe said in a trembling voice: "The last general is guilty, and I beg the festival commander to spare me in front of the last general's mother." ”
Sun Xiaozhe's mother committed adultery with An Lushan, which has long been an open secret among the generals of the Fanyang border army, and was cited as a joke by the generals for a while, Sun Xiaozhe was not ashamed, but regarded himself as An Lushan's righteous son.
Seeing him begging for mercy, An Lushan couldn't help but sigh and said: "I don't blame you for accepting benefits, I am not a clean person in the first place, but it depends on the timing of receiving benefits. ”
Sun Xiaozhe nodded and said mournfully: "Yes, yes, the last general will be guilty, and he will never dare to do it again in the future." ”
An Lushan said kindly: "If you don't dare in the future, you still have to be punished if you do something wrong, otherwise wouldn't the military law I set become a joke?" ”
Turning his head and signaling to the guard Li Zhu'er, Li Zhu'er handed over an iron boring.
An Lushan smiled kindly: "Good, close your eyes, stretch out your left hand, just hit you, just a moment, and the matter will be revealed......"
Sun Xiaozhe trembled, closed his eyes tremblingly, gritted his teeth and stretched out his left hand.
An Lushan's smile was still cordial, but a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, the iron boring in his hand was raised, and he waved it down, and the iron boring fell on Sun Xiaozhe's left hand, with a crisp click, Sun Xiaozhe screamed miserably, and the wrist of his left hand hung down softly, and he saw that it was broken.
Letting the guards carry the screaming Sun Xiaozhe out, An Lushan showed a cool look and snorted coldly: "It's all a group of things that don't fight!" ”
Turning his head to Li Zhu'er, he said, "Call the envoy from the end of Su to come to my house, and Ben Shuai will talk to him personally." ”
Li Zhu'er has been serving by An Lushan's side for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, so he responded calmly when he heard the words.
After walking a few steps, Li Zhu'er stopped again and said curiously: "Jie Shuai, when are we going to do something?" Yesterday, several generals came to the mansion to meet the marshal, but the marshal was not in the mansion, and several generals pestered the villain for a long time, and the villain did not know how to answer. ”
An Lu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Soon, when I store another batch of grain and grass, it is about enough for the army for a year, and in a year's time, it can account for at least half of the Tang Dynasty. ”
