Speaking from his heart, Pei Zhounan is not a traitor, he didn't do anything too bad when he was in Chang'an, at most he drank and got drunk and got carried away, and smashed a few wine shops.

It wasn't what he wanted to come to Anxi, he just had to do it on his orders. The Pei family in Hedong is a century-old in-law of Emperor Li Tang's family, and they are relatively trustworthy, and Li Longji's sending the children of the Pei clan to Anxi is naturally deliberate.

Pei Zhounan's nature is free and easy, and his literary brilliance is flying, otherwise he would not be included in the "Eight Immortals in Drinking" by later generations, but when the shackles of the family and the imperial order were on his shoulders, he had to give up his nature and chose to obey.

Faced with the angry scolding and accusations of countless businessmen in person, Pei Zhounan, who was originally calm, was a little flustered.

After all, he is just a reader, and a reader can be reasonable, but scolding the street is definitely not his strength.

The gate of the Jiedu Mansion was surrounded by water, Gu Houye, who was in power, was not there, Pei Zhounan, who had become famous overnight, was surrounded in the crowd, facing angry scolding from all directions, Pei Zhounan was at a loss, he had never experienced the taste of being pointed out by a thousand people in his life, and he was panicked and afraid.

With the help of Li Sima, Pei Zhounan finally got rid of the crowd, quickly got out of the city, stood in the yellow sand outside the city and breathed a long sigh of relief, and then walked towards the camp.

Pei Zhounan's identity is special, and he doesn't need to report when he enters the camp, so he goes straight inside and goes straight to the handsome tent.

Lifting the curtain of the handsome tent, there was no one inside, Pei Zhounan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Could it be that this guy really went hunting?

Looking around again, the familiar faces of Gu Qing's guards were not there, and it seemed that they had really taken the guards out of the camp.

Pei Zhounan realized that he had made a wrong move, and the order to withdraw the army was too hasty, and he had made a guarantee in front of the merchants in the city just now, and what he said must be done.

With two entourages, Pei Zhounan turned around and went to Shen Tian's camp again.

Shen Tian's camp tent is located in front of the commander's tent of the Chinese army, Pei Zhounan has been running around in the camp these days, and he has already familiarized himself with the camp tents of the generals.

When he came to Shen Tian's tent, Shen Tian was wearing single clothes, half-lying in the shade with his chest open, and the guards next to him fanned him vigorously, Shen Tian was still impatient with the heat when he was half-asleep and half-awake.

Pei Zhounan came over and woke up Shen Tian, Shen Tian was quite surprised, his clothes were messy and he got up to salute.

Pei Zhounan looked embarrassed and said that he was surrounded by merchants in the city just now, and implicitly apologized to Shen Tian, saying that he should not have made a hasty decision to withdraw the army, so that General Shen fell short and bandits were rampant.

Shen Tian's expression was stunned, and it took him a while to understand the meaning.

"What does Pei Yushi mean ......," Shen Tian asked politely.

Pei Zhounan said embarrassedly: "The trade routes of the Western Regions have always been valued by His Majesty, Gu Hou Ye came to Anxi to serve as an envoy, one of His Majesty's wills to him is to maintain the peace of the trade routes in the Western Regions, do not cut them off, now that the trade routes are rampant, I am afraid that our Anxi army will send troops to exterminate ......"

Shen Tian suddenly realized: "What does Pei Yushi mean to transfer troops to suppress bandits?" ”

Pei Zhounan nodded subconsciously: "That's right, it's ...... to deploy troops to suppress bandits."

With a smile, Pei Zhounan explained: "I should have personally ordered the transfer of troops by Gu Houye, but I heard that Gu Houye went out to hunt yesterday and didn't know when he would return......

Shen Tian smiled lightly: "It's very easy to suppress bandits, my Anxi army is everywhere, and the bandits are terrified, where can those jumping beams and small people compete with my Anxi Iron Army, but ...... Pei Yushi, there must be a document for the transfer of troops, no matter who gives the paperwork, it must be written in black and white, and the last general will dare to lead the troops out of the camp only when he has the transfer documents, otherwise the last general will transfer troops privately, and it will be difficult to escape the military law, hehe, if he wants to lose his head, if Pei Yushi is not too troublesome, why not write a transfer order for the last general, and the last general will immediately lead his troops out of the camp to suppress the bandits when he gets the transfer order......"

Pei Zhounan smiled and said: "I'll write the troop transfer documents for you now......"

Shen Tian was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the guard: "Quickly bring a pen and paper!" ”

The guards quickly brought pen and paper from the tent, and brought a low table and spread it out on the table.

Pei Zhounan dipped his pen in ink, and was about to write an order, when he suddenly felt a chill in his back, it was obviously a very hot weather, and a biting chill appeared in the depths of his heart for some reason, just like ...... Black and white impermanence stood behind him, blowing a ghostly aura from the underworld at him......

Pei Zhounan was full of excitement, and a drop of thick ink dripped on the snow-white paper, gradually becoming a large black ink stain.

From being surrounded by merchants in the city just now, to hurriedly leaving the city and entering the camp, to asking Shen Tian to send troops to suppress bandits, until he was writing an order at this moment, Pei Zhounan's mind has actually been confused, he has never been pointed out by thousands of people in this life, and thousands of people scolded the traitor in unison, for a literati like Pei Zhounan, who is not a good person but has not actually done many bad things, it is really a huge blow that is unbearable in his life.

Under such a sudden and heavy blow, Pei Zhounan has lost his mind a little, all his words and deeds are subconscious actions, and he has completely forgotten the key to the process.

At this moment, Pei Zhounan's mind gradually cleared up, regained his senses, and a very fatal and critical question came up.

As the superintendent of the imperial history, does the seven-rank civil official have the power to mobilize the army?

This question is very important, it is not a trivial matter, it is related to whether Pei Zhounan's head can safely grow on his neck.

It stands to reason that Pei Zhounan's status in the Anxi Protectorate is one level higher than that of Bian Lingcheng, who is the supervisor of the army, but Pei Zhounan can be called the "Minister of the Imperial Mission", although there is no so-called Minister of the Imperial Mission, but the authority is the same.

The minister has the right to supervise the words and deeds of the commander of the first army, has the right to prevent the commander from making strategic and tactical decisions that are unfavorable to the court and the king in military affairs, and has the right to write a note to impeach the commander.

However, the minister has no right to directly transfer troops beyond the commander-in-chief, and this is a red line that must not be transgressed, otherwise there is a suspicion of rebellion.

The issue of military power has been sensitive since ancient times, and if officials who have no right to transfer troops dare to transfer troops privately, it is basically equivalent to jumping into the ghost gate with two feet, and the whole village is waiting to eat the flowing water seat.

Pei Zhounan's eyelids jumped, cold sweat brushed down, the hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and he suddenly threw the pen down as if he was electrocuted, staring at the paper and pen in front of him in horror.

It's dangerous! Almost died!

Turning his head and looking at Shen Tian's sincere smile again, how to look at how hypocritical.

Thinking back to what Shen Tian said just now, it seems that there is some kind of inducement, inducing him to write down the troop transfer document, if the troop transfer document falls into Shen Tian's hands, Pei Zhounan's fate is explained, and the century-old in-law relationship between the Pei family and the Li family can't save him.

Thinking of coming back from the ghost gate just now, Pei Zhounan couldn't help but tremble, his face became more and more pale, and the cold sweat on his back had soaked his clothes.

"Why didn't Pei Yushi write it? You go on. Shen Tian said with a sincere face: "Suppressing bandits is like fighting a fire, you can't delay for a moment, Pei Yushi will quickly transfer the troops to the last general, and the last general will go to order troops to prepare food, grass and drinking water." ”

Pei Zhounan's mind became clearer and clearer, and a sneer appeared on his face for the rest of his life.

At this moment, he finally recognized a fact.

Today's Anxi is Gu Qing's Anxi, and the army only recognizes Gu Qing from top to bottom, and even Gu Qing's prestige in the army is higher than that of Gao Xianzhi at the beginning, otherwise the subordinates below will not act for the tiger and help Gu Qing harm him.

Standing up, Pei Zhounan said slowly: "General Shen, the Anxi Army belongs to the imperial court, and it is not surnamed Gu." ”

After saying that, Pei Zhounan turned around and left, Shen Tian called anxiously behind him, and Pei Zhounan still left the camp without looking back.

Seeing Pei Zhounan's figure disappear outside the gate of the big camp, Shen Tian's anxious expression gradually converged, and he sighed regretfully.

It's only one step away, and he's about to write down the transfer paperwork, but it's a pity!

This scholar is really fateful, and he can return when he enters the ghost gate.

From last night's rumors to today's businessmen's siege, the ultimate goal is to induce him to write down the transfer documents, as long as the transfer documents fall into the hands of the Hou Ye, the life of this imperial history almost belongs to the underworld.

It's a pity that a fatal pit was actually avoided by him.

Shen Tian sighed for a while, and then said angrily to the guard: "Prepare a horse for me, and I'll go to find Master Hou." ”

…………

On the side of the Chihe River, more than a hundred miles south of Qiuzi City, dozens of guards set up camp, and Gu Qing was sitting by the Chihe River fishing.

Above his head was a parasol set up for him by Han Jie and other guards, and behind him were two guards fanning hard, and the yellow sand around him refracted the sunlight, and the light pierced his eyes.

Han Jie sat behind Gu Qing, yawned boredly, and said, "Master Hou, you have been fishing here for two days, and you haven't caught a single one......

Gu Qing glanced at him obliquely and said, "Han Jie, I find that you have been more and more fond of crazy temptations on the verge of death recently...... Do you want me to satisfy you once and for all? How about running back to Guizi City from here? It's only a little over a hundred miles, and you should be able to run before you lose your breath. ”

Han Jie hurriedly laughed: "Hou Ye don't make trouble, he will really die, what the last general means is that since Hou Ye said to the outside world that he was out of the camp to hunt, we have a hunting appearance, and we haven't moved for two days, and that Pei Yushi may be suspicious when I go back." ”

Gu Qing pouted: "The reason for hunting itself is, do you think he will believe it?" I made a show, he pretended to believe what I did, the window paper on the officialdom is so magical, they don't break each other, and everyone is still in harmony. ”

Han Jie looked up at the sky, and suddenly smiled: "Calculate the time, Pei Yushi should be surrounded by the merchants in the city at this moment, and he can't move, right?" Haha, a mere seven-grade imperial history dared to meddle in Anxi's military affairs, let him taste the consequences today, Hou Ye had a clever plan, and quietly called the imperial history to advance and retreat, and dug a big pit waiting for him. ”

Gu Qing's eyes were calm on the surface of the river, and he said lightly: "Maybe it's right to lose ground, the pit you dug ...... He doesn't necessarily have to jump down. ”

Han Jie said unwillingly: "What if he jumps?" ”

"That's too stupid, it's stupid to be more stupid than Bian Lingcheng, Your Majesty shouldn't send such a fool to Anxi to contain me."
