Coming out of the Liang Mansion, Guo Song came directly to the barracks, and he asked Zhang Yun and Wang Yue to be found.

After a short time, the two hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See the envoy!" ”

"I have two important things to do with you!"

Guo Song said slowly: "You go to Xiazhou to monitor the party members, the internal affairs battalion monitors from the inside, and the scout battalion monitors the party and the army from the outside. ”

Guo Song walked a few steps and said: "It's about to be winter, the internal affairs camp will go first, rent a storefront in Xiazhou City, and the scout camp will come over after the spring, you will negotiate with each other and cooperate with each other." ”

The two nodded in agreement, and Guo Song said again: "Cui Kuan raises tigers for trouble, without the constraints of the imperial court, the party members are gradually becoming wings, I suspect that they will start a war next year and attack Lingzhou, your task is to monitor the movements of the party army, once they have signs of assembly, you must immediately report to me with an eagle letter, and at the same time notify Lingzhou, it is best to notify the record to join the army Liang Yundao." ”

"Obey!"

The two bowed and bowed, and hurried down.

Guo Song pondered for a moment, got up and said, "Go to Tiance Tower!" ”

........

In the past few years, Guo Song's eyes have been in the Western Regions, and he has not paid much attention to the Central Plains, but now his eyes are gradually on the East, and he found that Zhu Zhu's expansion in the past two years has been great, and it is steady and steady, quite methodical, both coercion and temptation, and also concentrated troops to attack the city and plunder the wall, and the means are also very clever.

What surprised Guo Song even more was that in order to prevent himself from stabbing himself from behind, he actually drove more than 600,000 displaced people to Hexi, this strategy is indeed very vicious, indicating that there are masters around Zhu Jun.

Until today, Guo Song didn't know that it was Yu Chaoen's military advisor Liu Sigu who was giving advice to Zhu Zhu, no wonder Zhu Zhu was able to get to this point.

Guo Song also knows very well that sooner or later there will be a battle between him and Zhu Zhu, judging from the current strength, Zhu Zhu is obviously stronger than himself, the army far exceeds himself, and the population he controls also exceeds himself.

Although Zhu Zhu's talent is average, he can be good as a stream, and make good use of good talents, which is very terrible, if he doesn't make a move, within ten years, Zhu Jun is afraid that he will unify the north.

Coupled with Li Shi's mediocrity and incompetence, let the eunuchs dictatorship, Zhu Jun may be able to unify the world.

Thinking of this, Guo Song couldn't sit still, he had to take action........

Coming to Tiance Building, Guo Yuniang went to Chang'an, not in Zhangye, the current abbot of Tiance Building's daily affairs is the owner of the Zhuque Hall Li Shusleeve, Li Shusleeve is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, the oldest among all people, is the best of the Gongsun Aunt's disciple grandson.

Hearing that the envoy of the festival was coming, Li Shusleeve hurriedly came out to greet him, invited Guo Song to the lobby, and asked the maid to serve tea.

Guo Song smiled and asked, "How is the situation of Yu Niang's recruitment of warriors?" ”

"It's not bad, she has recruited more than 30 old members of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, not only samurai, but also everything, some can make up, some are good at healing, and some are good at medicine, which can be described as a lot of talents.

Guo Song understood Guo Yuniang's thoughts, mainly because Chang'an opened a store with people from the internal affairs camp, and none of her subordinates were suitable to be shopkeepers, which really stimulated her, so she also knew that her subordinates could not only have warriors, but also other talented people.

Guo Song nodded, took out an envelope from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Li Shusleeve, "This is the latest task, don't worry, just implement it before the end of this year." ”

"Send a pigeon letter to Yu Niang immediately!"

Guo Song asked a few more words, and then got up and left Tiance Tower.

........

Guo Song's instructions were transmitted to Chang'an three days later, and Tiancelou opened a very large inn in Xinfeng County near Chang'an, called Ping'an Inn, the reason why the inn was opened in Xinfeng County is because it is not eye-catching, Zhu Zhu has a strict control over Chang'an, basically does not ask much about the surrounding suburbs, and the county government will not find trouble for himself, at present, Guo Yuniang and more than 30 newly recruited subordinates live in the inn.

Guo Yuniang read Guo Song's letter to herself, and the task on the letter was not difficult, but it took a lot of thought to do it.

After a while, one of his subordinates walked briskly, bowed and said, "See the leader!" ”

This subordinate is called Tan Sheng, about forty years old, is one of the best jade craftsmen in Chang'an, Guo Song's white jade screen in the imperial study is carved by his father, Tan Sheng is also a person from the Hidden Sword Pavilion, Guo Yuniang is going to let him go to Youzhou Jixian to open a jade shop, specializing in collecting information about Youzhou.

Before Tan Sheng had time to set off, Guo Yuniang had something to look for him.

"I want to ask you to carve a jade tablet, is there a way to make it a little older, such as buried in the ground more than a hundred years ago?"

"This is very easy, it's not a big problem, I don't know what the leader wants to carve?"

"Just carve eight words: 'The Li family is dying, the Zhu family is prospering', give you a month and a half, and then make it old after the carving, can you do it?"

"Engraving for a few days is fine, the key is to be old, preferably three months."

Guo Yuniang shook her head, "Three months is too late, two months at most, I have to use it on the eighth day of the first month of next year." ”

Tan Sheng calculated, there are probably a little more than two months, although the time is a little tight, but he should be able to make it with his own craftsmanship.

"Try to do your best!"

"It's not as much as possible, but it must be completed, this is the task that the envoy specially explained."

Tan Sheng nodded, "Humble duty understands!" ”

........

The reason is that some people reported that there were generals in Li Sheng's army who were corrupting the army, and the whistleblower did not know who the general was, and it was not clear who the general who embezzled the army.

The training stopped, the plan to attack Yingzhou was canceled, everyone in the army was in danger, morale was low, and many generals were extremely dissatisfied, so they simply hung up their seals and no longer served the imperial court.

Li Sheng was extremely angry, and several times he solemnly negotiated with Wang Fazhong, and even had a fierce quarrel, the two completely turned their faces, and Wang Fazhong immediately secretly wrote to Li Shi, the son of heaven, accusing Li Sheng of having the ambition to establish his own domain.

At the same time, the investigation report of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials was also submitted to the Son of Heaven, and they did not find any signs of Li Jinyuan's effective loyalty to Li Xilie, but found that Li Jinyuan had strongly opposed Li Sheng's unauthorized change of state and county officials.

In the imperial study of Yong'an Palace in Chengdu, Li Shi brought together the crown prince Li Yi, the right minister Lu Qi and the left minister Zhang Yansheng, as well as the central officials Song Chaofeng and Huo Xianming, to discuss Li Sheng's treatment plan.

Li Yi was in a hurry, and he was about to march to the Central Plains, but this happened, isn't this a delay in the fighter?

"Father, Li Sheng has made outstanding contributions, recovering Xiangyang and Dengzhou in one fell swoop, and restoring the entire territory of Shannan Dongdao, at this critical moment, how can you listen to slander? We should believe in him and send him more troops and generals, instead of thinking about what to do with him, father, we can't be confused! ”

Lu Qi said coldly: "Loyal generals, the more victories, the greater the contribution, on the contrary, ambitious generals, the more victories, the greater the harm, we have too many lessons, we can't stumble in the same place again and again, His Royal Highness the Prince, on the question of whether he is loyal or ambitious, we should believe the words of the prison army, and there are early signs that he has premeditated." ”

Li Yi glared at Lu Qi angrily and said, "What kind of plan will he have?" ”

Lu Qi said noncommittally: "When Li Sheng recruits soldiers, he doesn't want Bashu soldiers, all the soldiers recruited are Central Plains soldiers, what is the reason for this?" Could it be that the Bashu soldiers are not good at fighting? Of course not, the Bashu soldiers are as brave and good at fighting, so why does he only need soldiers from the Central Plains, I'm afraid he has long intended to support troops in the Central Plains to stand on his own! ”

Lu Qi's words were shocking, everyone was stunned, and Li Yi said angrily: "Lu Xiangguo, you have to pay attention to your identity when you speak!" ”

Li Shi's eyes were full of suspicion, but he didn't refute Lu Qi's words, he glanced at Zhang Yansheng and asked, "What about Zhang Xiangguo's opinion?" ”

Zhang Yansheng pondered for a moment and said: "Wechen is more concerned about Li Yuanjin's case, Wechen thinks that this is an unjust case, and Li Sheng took Li Yuanjin in order to establish his authority, and he bears unshirkable responsibility. ”

The opinions of the left and right ministers were unanimous, Li Yi's heart fell, he realized that Li Sheng was difficult to protect this time, but he was unwilling, and begged bitterly: "We have lost more and won less, and Li Sheng is the only good general who has been undefeated repeatedly, and he is a rare talent, father, we should cherish him, instead of destroying him just a little better, please think twice!" ”

Li Shi was unmoved, and asked Song Chaofeng, who had been silent, "What about the opinion of the privy envoy?" ”

Song Chaofeng said slowly: "Just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince talked about a good general, which made the old slave think of Zhu Jun, at that time, the court generally believed that he was a good general and trustworthy, but what was the result?" ”

Huo Xianming also said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the prison army is the prison army is that he is Your Majesty's confidant and trustworthy, Tian Wenxiu thought that Guo Song was ambitious and wanted to support the army and stand on his own, we thought that he and Guo Song had a personal grudge and framed Guo Song, but it turned out that Tian Wenxiu did not deceive His Majesty, with this experience, how can we not believe Wang Fazhong?" ”

Song Chaofeng and Huo Xianming's words were like two boulders, completely crushing the balance in Li Shi's heart, and he nodded, "I know what to do!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Shi dismissed Li Sheng from his post as the envoy of the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu for the crime of killing a civilian official without permission, appointed him as the pacification envoy of Lingnan, and appointed Zhang Shengyun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, as the envoy of the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, and Wang Fazhong continued to serve as the supervisor of the army.
