Xian Yu Zhongtong rushed all the way to Shu County, Yizhou.

At that time, it was still the third watch, and Xian Yu Zhongtong couldn't wait to knock on the door of Zhang Qiu and Qiong.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong were asleep, and Ren asked Xian Yu Zhongtong to forcibly wake him up.

With a stomach full of getting up, Zhang Qiu and Qiong looked at Xian Yu Zhongtong who was wet with dissatisfaction.

It is already a very hot summer, Xian Yu Zhongtong rushed all the way from Jianlang City to Yizhou Shu County, the whole person was like being soaked in water, and the smell of sweat on his body could be smelled from afar.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong frowned slightly, rubbed his fingers under his nose, and was about to ask.

Xian Yu Zhongtong took the first step in a panic and said: "It's not good to make Jiedu, then the king of Yunnan doesn't know why he suddenly killed Zhang Qiantuo, the envoy of the soldiers and horses of Wangzhou." ”

"What?" Zhang Qiu and Qiong Huo suddenly rose, and a trace of anger flashed in their eyes.

Zhang Qiantuo's status is not high, but the officials of the Tang Dynasty, the little king of Piluo Pavilion, a vassal state of the Fan State, actually dared to kill their officials of the Heavenly Dynasty? And it's his soldiers.

"What the hell is the situation, how did a good banquet cause deaths?"

Zhang Qiu and Qiong forcibly suppressed the anger in their hearts, and they couldn't figure it out.

He still has a good impression of Pi Luoge, the king of Yunnan.

Pi Luo Ge was thoughtful, and he did not have the posture of the king of Yunnan at all, and he was very friendly to him, the envoy of the Jiannan Festival, and even had a little bit of flattery.

It's hard to believe that Pi Luoge said that he would turn his face.

Xian Yu Zhongtong smiled in his heart and read: "Naturally, I designed it!" But he said blankly: "My subordinates don't know, but I suddenly learned that Zhang Bingma was killed, and I was terrified, suspecting that this banquet was a Hongmen banquet, and I came back directly to report it." ”

The three words of Hongmen Banquet made Zhang Qiu and Qiong's faces change.

Naturally, he didn't forget that Pi Luo Ge was the first to invite him, not Xian Yu Zhongtong.

Just as Zhang Qiu and Qiong were thinking about what to do, there was an urgent report.

"Nanzhao suddenly raised troops to attack Wangzhou and captured the city of Wangzhou."

Xian Yu Zhongtong looked surprised, a trace of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he shouted fiercely: "The hateful Zhongshan wolf, we sent troops to help him pacify Shi Lang Zhao and Jian Lang Zhao, and he actually bit us back, which is really hateful." Jiedu envoys, for untrustworthy people like them, do not need to be polite, directly send troops, no matter what, first recapture Wangzhou. ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong also felt reasonable, no longer hesitated, and gave the order to transfer troops in a loud voice, and he hurried to the barracks with Xian Yu Zhongtong.

But before they could gather their troops, new news soon came from Wangzhou.

Nanzhao has retreated!

The king of Nanzhao, Pi Luoge, did not occupy the city of Wangzhou, nor did he move the treasury of Wangzhou, but killed all the old and young of Zhang Qiantuo's family, and also posted a notice indicating that the reason for the dispatch of troops was because Zhang Qiantuo had raped and killed Princess Nanzhao and came to take revenge.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong glared at Xian Yu Zhongtong angrily.

Xian Yu Zhongtong has excellent acting skills and said with a blank face: "My subordinates really don't know this." ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong looked at the herald and said, "Except for Zhang Qiantuo's family, is there any other damage?" ”

The herald said: "The father and son of Xu Hu, the assassin of Netzhou, were killed, and they did not investigate the Nanzhao for a while and lost the city defense. In order to prevent the city from falling, the father and son of the Xu family urgently summoned more than 100 guards to fight to the death with the Nanzhao soldiers, and died heroically......"

Xian Yu Zhongtong shouted: "It hurts me!" ”

He burst into tears and sobbed: "Xu Hu is my friend, he is loyal and righteous, he was actually damaged by Xiaoxiao's hands, the festival envoy, Nanzhao barbarians deceive people too much, his subordinates ask for war to avenge Xu Tingshi's father and son!" ”

"No, never!"

Before Zhang Qiu and Qiong could give the order, one person rushed to the front, pulling the reins of Zhang Qiu and Qiong's mount with one hand, and shouted.

The people who came rushed out suddenly, some almost unexpectedly.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong's mount were frightened and took a few steps back.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong are civil officials who entered the military, and their riding skills are average, and they almost fell off their horses.

Thanks to Xian Yu Zhongtong, he pulled him and stabilized his figure.

Xian Yuzhong shouted angrily: "Who are you?" How dare you be so rude. ”

The person who came was a white-faced scholar, in his early twenties, he ignored Xian Yu Zhongtong and looked at Zhang Qiu and Qiong with a serious face and said loudly: "Jiedu envoy, you must not send troops." As long as Nanzhao is unwilling to be an enemy of our dynasty at this moment, our dynasty cannot do anything to him. ”

Zhang Qiu and Qiong almost made a fool of themselves in front of everyone, a trace of warm anger flashed on his face, and he said, "Who are you and why do you say that!" ”

The white-faced scholar said loudly: "A native of Hangzhou Xincheng, surnamed Xu, with a single name and a distant character, the word Lingwei, is a grain officer in the army." ”

As soon as he heard the grain officer in the army, Xian Yu Zhongtong immediately showed disdain.

The current power of the Jiedu envoy has not yet involved the military rations, and Xu Yuan, the grain official, is not a subordinate of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, but a person from the Jiannan Branch. At the same time, the food officers in the army are all petty officers who are far away from the core.

A petty official who is not in the stream, but he dares to collide with the festival envoy?

Xian Yu Zhongtong is waiting to be drunk.

Xu Yuan seemed to understand the current situation, and shouted first: "Can't the Jiedu envoy see through Pei Guogong's overall strategy?" ”

Speaking of Pei Guogong, Zhang Qiu and Qiong's heart tightened: Pei Min's prestige status was higher in the Tang Dynasty than the prime minister in the temple, and Zhang Qiu and Qiong did not dare to offend.

And Zhang Qiu and Qiong still respect Pei Min very much.

Xian Yu Zhongtong hated it in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't take the lead, so he glanced at Xu Yuan with a bit of fierceness.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong said in a deep voice: "Tell me about it? ”

Xu Yuan raised his head and said: "I have a holy monarch in the court, a good minister below, and an immortal hero like Pei Guogong, so I have the momentum of today's mighty four people." I have only two major rivals in the future, the Great Food Country is the first to bear the brunt, followed by Tibet. The Great Food seeks the Western Regions, and the Tibetan seeks the West of the River, which are allies of each other, and the world knows them. They joined forces and posed a great threat to the Northwest War. Pei Guogong was worthy of the masterpiece, stationed in Moliyi with Wang Zhonghei, harassed Tubo from Qinghai, and went to His Majesty to support Nanzhao's attack on Tubo. In order to break the game of big food and Tibetan combo. ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong sneered: "Nonsense, it's obviously a decision made by His Majesty personally, what is Pei Guogong." ”

Xu Yuan said without hesitation: "Pei Guogong is the envoy of Longyou and Hexi Jiedu, so naturally he can't give an order to Zhang Qiu Jiedu, so it is not bad as expected." It must be the Duke of the Kingdom who writes to His Majesty, and then His Majesty gives an order. The attack on the north and the south must be Pei Guogong's decision. ”

Xu Yuan is a small grain official, he is also extremely mediocre, and he is young, and he has a unique demeanor when he talks about it, and he undoubtedly reveals Pei Min's strategy.

He actually saw through this completely!

Xu Yuan said for a long time: "Zhang Qiu Jiedu, I implore you to consider the overall situation, this is by no means the time to use troops to the south. Nanzhao's strength is weak, and once we use troops, they will definitely throw themselves into Tibet. At that time, Tubo will have no worries...... Sending troops to Nanzhao is tantamount to capitalizing the enemy. ”
