At the beginning, the Qiang Nu Kingdom and the White Dog Kingdom, which were so guaranteed by Gao Yue, conscientiously braved the cold autumn wind with a scale of 3,000 people, and built a barrier between the ancient city of Pingrong and the passage as Gao Yue's outpost, but soon Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian felt that something was wrong:

Wei Gao originally promised that he would give him another 100,000 yuan of money from the two countries, but it had been several days, but it had not been a drop of water.

Tang and Deng were a little anxious and a little angry, so they sent a few nobles to bypass Gao Yue's "Checheng" and go to Wei Gao to ask that the 100,000 yuan had been promised to the children of the clansmen under his command, and they also asked Lian Shuai to pay attention.

But Wei Gao was very surprised and said: This money has already been sent to Pingrong City!

Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian, who were rewarded, were shocked, and they quickly guessed the most terrifying possibility.

"That's 100,000 yuan, huh...... It was indeed retained by this way...... "When the envoys sent by the two countries stood in the tent of Gao Yue's Checheng, Gao Yue, who was holding the scroll of the earth, sat on the Hu bed, and admitted that Wei Gao had sent the money to him and asked him to transfer it to Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian, but Gao Yue took it up happily.

"Ji Gong, why is this?" The messenger dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Gao Yue said that now the grain transfer is becoming more and more difficult, a stone of grain and then to transport here, it costs four dollars, you must know that the rice is in Xichuan or Xingyuan, and now the price of a stone of brown rice is 370 Wen, and the price of a stone of good rice is 550 Wen, even if it is the best Zhejiang rice, a stone is only 800 Wen, and once it is transported here, the cost has increased almost tenfold: in the past, it was said that the phenomenon of cheap goods and heavy money caused by money shortage was "hurting peasants and workers", but now the farmers and Kuofang households in the northwest and southwest no longer have such troubles, and the army is a cannon soundsThe agricultural and industrial production of Xichuan, Xingyuan, and Fengxiang received countless orders and were in full swing, but the treasury and military treasury in the military government were "facing the sky".

After explaining like this, Gao Yue explained to the envoy: That's right, these 100,000 guan were used for this way, and 30,000 stones of brown rice were transferred to Helian, which can support my army and horses for 20 days.

In order to prove that what he said was true, Gao Yue also took out his own document asking for food and showed it to the envoy, and said that the military rations stored in Fengzhou and Xingzhou in Xingyuan and the grain of the Heling people had been wiped out, and another 50,000 stone would be transferred from Xingyuan Mansion and Yangzhou immediately, and then 20,000 stone would be given to you from both countries, and the right would be used as 100,000 yuan to compensate.

"What we want is Tongbao money, what we want is Shudi silk, who wants brown rice!" When the helpless envoy returned to the camp and reported to Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian, the two couldn't help but be furious and scolded Gao Yue for his tyranny.

But because Gao Yue's fists were big and hard, the two of them didn't dare to openly express their anger, so they could only wait for Gao Yue to send rice and talk about compensation.

After another three days, a large amount of rice and grain was brought from Xishan, but Gao Yue only gave them 3,000 stone of grain, and said that you are all Qianghu native to Xishan, and this grain is enough for you to eat for forty days, and if you are not enough, you can still eat your own cattle and sheep.

“！” Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian immediately felt that their minds exploded, and they trembled with anger.

Why did Gao Yue deceive me too much?

So they sent someone to Wei Gao to complain, but Wei Gao was embarrassed and said that Gao Jigong was arrogant in the government and the opposition, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, guarding the two mansions, and Tongping Zhangshi, and had previously captured Li Xilie, Huating and Pingxia, even if he was the commander, he didn't dare to reason with him publicly!

The two of you will overcome it, as long as you perform well, maybe you can still get the favor of Ji Gong in the future, and the whole family will soar just around the corner.

Tang and Deng, who didn't know what to do, regretted it, and asked Wei Gao to move the camp, we don't want to join the camp with this Jigong, please let Dong Woting, Gao Wantang and others come to change the guard, we are willing to stay in the small lockdown with Wei Lianshuai and besiege Victoria.

Wei Gao still disagreed, it was the two of you who took the initiative to ask Ying to build a city in Pingrong at the foot of Pengpo Mountain, so as to block the reinforcements from Xifan, and Dong Woting and Gao Wantang were against this matter.

"Won't we be negative?" Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian, who received Wei Gao's reply, were simply crazy.

Therefore, the two met in the camp tent and provoked each other with words, and actually came up with the idea of "selling customs".

Because of his deep hatred for Gao Yue and Wei Gao, coupled with the temperament of the Qiang on both sides of the West Mountain, Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian quickly reached a consensus: "Simply lead the Xifan army to come, first break Gao Yue and kill it, and then break Wei Gao to kill it, Gao and Wei are the characters that Zanpu wants to get rid of and then quickly, if they die, the elite will be destroyed, the Tang family pillar will collapse, and Xifan will be regained from Wei, Song, Wu and other prefectures and counties, and will definitely treat us well." ”

The two of them were silent, and first sent their henchmen with a secret letter of wax pills, and galloped to the Xifan outpost fort in Baoning, saying that I was miserably abused by Gao Yue in the eight countries of Xishan, and the dissent had been decided, so please send the troops of the whole country quickly, and we are willing to turn against the Dafan army, break through the car city of Gaoyue, and slaughter the elite Dingwu and Yining armies of the Tang family.

The two also mentioned in the letter that Gao Yue's army was short of food, and the troops under the siege of Wei Gao at the foot of Pengpo Mountain were nearly 100 miles away, and in the event of a surprise attack, they would not be able to help each other at all.

The last two also drew drawings of the deployment of the entire Tang Army, sandwiched it in a secret letter, and sent it together.

The soldiers of Boryeong City, who received this secret letter, did not dare to slack off, and eagerly flew to the city of Luoqi.

At this time, Chisong Dezan also knew that the main forces of Gao Yue and Wei Gao were besieging Sanssouci City, and if they wanted to fight against the Tang army, they could only wait for Shang Jiezan's 20,000 forbidden troops to return.

Tang Lizhi and Deng Youxian's secret letter made General Zampu suspicious, he knew that the deployment of the Tang Army mentioned in his heart was true, and it should be true that the Tang Army's grain transfer was difficult, but even if the military intelligence was tenthly false, it was enough to be fatal.

"The two-faced Qiang will always be the two-faced Qiang, and the two-headed barbarian (Nanzhao) is as disrespectful, will this be a trap? A trap to lure my main force? ”

Just as Zampu was hesitating, the bird envoy who hurried to the Red Palace told him something even more terrifying:

Shang Jiezan refused your order, and he continued to lead the forbidden army, crossed the border of Shanzhou, and began to enter Liangzhou, preparing to join Ma Chongying, and then go north to resist the Uighurs.

"Shang Jiezan, Ben Yongzhong's uncle, what the hell is he going to do?!" Frightened, Zampu wrote the order with his own hands, and inserted nine silver falcons into it, which represented Zampu's unquestioning and rejecting instructions, and ordered the second group of birds to ride the fastest horses, day and night, and deliver them to Shang Jiezan's hands.

Under the stone castle city with mountains like iron blades, not far from the surging Yellow River Jiuqu, Shang Jiezan received the urgent letter with the Nine Silver Eagles from the hands of the Flying Bird Envoy, and said: "Originally, the theory has been set with Zampu, first out of the north road, break back to the Falcon all the way, but Zampu has changed the order every day, the Han family has a saying that the king's life outside will not be affected, the soldiers are fast, such as back and forth waste, and then turn back to the Pengpo Pass in the southern boundary of the sword, the morale of the soldiers has been in chaos, please forgive Shang Jiezan can not obey the fate." ”
