7. Destroying sand and flying birds
After leaving the Lingao Station in western Beijing, Gao Yue and Wei Gao entered Chencang via Fengxiang Mansion.
At this time, Gao Yue was obviously a little worried, he wanted to go to Jingzhou and return to Zhongshan, hoping to see Wu Cailuan, because he had promised Cailuan the refiner beforehand.
However, he had just gotten the document to observe the defense envoy for the five states of Hanzhong, so now going to Xingyuan Mansion is not so much a promotion, but a new position to "go to work", and the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that there are strict restrictions on officials when they go to office, from the moment they get the talisman, they must not stop until the destination, and they must not "drown" along the road, so Gao Yue can only temporarily give up the idea of going to see the Cailuan refiner - simply go to the Xingyuan Mansion and write a letter and ask the Cailuan refiner to come to his official residence.
When passing through Fengxiang Mansion, Gao Yue and Wei Gao both presented a letter to Captain Duan Xiushi, who was stationed here, but they rushed to Fengzhou without stopping before they could meet.
After entering the boundary of Fengzhou, Gao Yue was able to understand the sorrow of Wei Gao who had served as the envoy of the capital regiment here, his own Xingyuan Mansion, Yangzhou, and Lizhou, of which Xingyuan Mansion had the most large population, with 33,000 households, and Yangzhou originally had more than 18,000 households in the Kaiyuan period, but now there are less than 3,000 households left, although Lizhou has the most mountainous area, there are about 12,000 households in the Kaiyuan period, and now there are only 2,500 households, but at least the total is close to the level of 40,000 households. Wei Gao's two states are even more pitiful, there are more than 1,000 households in Fengzhou, only more than 900 households in Xingzhou, and the rest are all Shengmin (Fanzi), so the Fengyi Army is also supported by the imperial court.
The old Daochuan post station outside the city of Fengzhou, Wei Gao asked Liu Pi to write a delivery document, ready to give Gao Yue, he took his family and Fengyi army into Dongchuan as the envoy of the festival, and then Fengxing and the two states were under the jurisdiction of Xingyuan Mansion.
However, before Wenmo could dry, there were several cavalry horses, and they arrived like flying, and the leading Fengyi army general turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of the two envoys, and shouted, "Beijing division emergency report, prevent autumn soldiers from changing!" ”
"What?" Gao Yue and Wei Gao were both very surprised.
The situation is like this: Hun Ying, the commander of the Hezhong Festival, sent two thousand soldiers, and other Fang Zhen soldiers to the border of Jingzhou, preparing to build a city in Pingliang in the coming spring, and the leading army will be Li Huaiguang, the old man of the Changwu army, Xu Tingguang, Da Xi Xiaojun, and Hun Yang let the Yuhou Dynasty under the tent to take custody, and then passed through the original Fengtian City of Xianyang, and after entering Jingzhou, he met Luo Yuanguang, the general of the right battalion of Shence, and Han Qinxu, the general of the shooting life. Because of the rebellion of the Changwu army in the past, Luo Yuanguang in the Shence camp had fought with Xu Tingguang, who was a rebel camp at that time, Xu Tingguang had scolded Luo's Zukao (ancestor), Luo oath to repay it, as a result, at the bridge at the source of Wuting River, Luo Yuanguang, Han Qinxu chased after Xu Tingguang, Da Xi Xiaojun and Wang Chaogan saw that the situation was not right, and tried to come forward to reconcile, but Han Qinxu shouted, "Li Huaiguang's Changwu army is all rebellious, everyone has to kill it, and Tingguang has insulted General Luo's Zu Kaohu!" ”
After finishing speaking, Han Qinxu shot an arrow that hit Xu Ting's bare shoulder socket.
Xu Tingguang was caught off guard, and after turning over and falling off the horse, he was beheaded by Luo Yuanguang with a knife, and his body was cut by Luo to comfort the spirit of his ancestors.
Subsequently, Luo Yuanguang and Han Qinxu took their heads, walked away, and galloped back to the Shence camp in Fengtian City.
Xu Tingguang's subordinates, who died in a hurry, were furious and surrounded Da Xi Xiaojun and Wang Chao to discuss the law.
But these two are helpless.
First, after Li Huaiguang's death, the Changwu army partly returned to the peasants, and partly under the command of Hun Xuan, because it had rebelled, its political status was very low and very sensitive;
Second, Luo Yuanguang is a Shence army system, and the Shence Xing camp has always been arrogant, and he will not put the border army in his eyes at all, let alone the old department of the Changwu Army that once rebelled;
Third, the father of Han Qinxu, who shot the sheng, happened to be Han Yougui, the current envoy of the Suining Festival, and Han Yougui was originally a subordinate of Li Huaiguang, who sacrificed Changwu City after Li's rebellion Anyway, the court is favored by the emperor, and killing Xu Tingguang can prove the complete cut between Han Yougui and the politically tainted Changwu army.
So Da Xi Xiaojun and Wang Chaogan said that they couldn't explain to the soldiers.
That night, a camp roar broke out, and the old soldiers of the Changwu Army shouted, "Han Yougui sent his son to commit murder first, and then he will kill us and others!" Soon the terrifying and violent emotions swept through the battalion, and the soldiers forcibly took Wang Chaogan and Daxi Xiaojun hostage, passed through Linjing, and wanted to go to Yuanzhou to defect to Xifan.
Fortunately, Gao Yue's previous Fengwei in Jingzhou was aware of this situation in time, and lit the beacon fire of the alarm, and Liu Haibin immediately sent his son Liu Guoguang and the general Zhang Yufei to suppress it after staying in the Jingyuan camp.
In the end, although most of Yingxiao's foot soldiers were recovered, Da Xi Xiaojun and Wang Chaogan, who were afraid of being punished, led more than 200 cavalry, threw away all their armor, wore only short jackets and breeches, and rushed into the Hulu River.
Seeing that Xi Xiaojun and Wang Chaogan had arrived, he said that now the emperor of the Tang family and my country have stopped fighting and reconciled, so you can't wait to destroy the alliance, and you will be sent back after speaking.
Daxi Xiaojun and Wang Chaogan could only say to the Xifan general who wore a silver whistle: "The emperor of the Tang family wants to betray the alliance, he will not only send hundreds of thousands of horses to continue to defend against the autumn, but also build a big city in Pingliang and Panyuan, not far from the sand castle, with a garrison of 30,000 troops and 5,000 war horses, and then he will recover the territory until the south bank of the river." ”
At this time, Hu Qulu Ximeng felt that the problem was a little serious, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly send this bird envoy who destroyed the sand castle, take ten scouts, and hurry to the host marshal to report to the commander, and let all the border officials prepare the fastest horses, inform all the soldiers and horses grazing in Qinghai (that is, the grassland area west of Liupan Mountain), bring bows and arrows, throwing stones, livestock, slaves and armor, and assemble here." ”
"Bu'er, Bu'er!" In front of the gate of the sand castle city, the frightened calves scattered and ran away, and one of the most clever and brave warriors under the command of Hu Qulu Ximeng, carrying a wooden tablet pierced by silver cluster arrows, played the role of a bird messenger, and the ten scouts behind him, riding on a uniform black horse, like eleven flying crows, raised their whips and scolded their mounts, and headed towards the border of Qinzhou, where Tianshui City was the location of the host's marshal's military tent.
And the so-called host marshal, that is, after the conquest of Helong, Xifan imitated the Tang Dynasty's Jiedu envoy set up the "patrol of the border", also called "Virtue Theory" (bde-blon) in charge of the military and government of all states in Longyou, in addition to the Hexi corridor also set up the north marshal, responsible for the Tang Dynasty's Anbei court and Hui Hui attack and defense, the south marshal is the Tang Dynasty's Sanchuan town and Nanzhao, the west marshal is responsible for the western region of Xifan, responsible for encroaching on the Tang Dynasty's Anxi, Beiting, and monitoring the Tianzhu area, in addition to the famous marshal, stationed in the Qinghai region - In this way, there are five virtues in Xibo.
At this time, the patrol was the same Shang Jiezan, who had previously sent troops to Qingshiling in Jingzhou, and was also the toughest hawk in Xifan.
At this moment, Wei Gao, who learned the news under Fengzhou City, laughed differently from Gao Yue's contemplation, and then patted Gao Yue's chest and said, "Yisong, the old department of Changwu has fallen to Xifan, and the border is going to fight, our opportunity has really come!" ”
