During the Zhenguan period, there were a total of five governors in Gyeongju, one of which was the central governor's office, that is, the Gyeongju Governor's Office, and the other four governors were the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Office, the Anding Prefecture Governor's Office, the Anhua Prefecture Governor's Office, and the Dunzhou Governor's Office.

These prefectures are all located in Gyeongju, that is, they are located in Gyeongju, and the actual prefectures and clans under their jurisdiction are basically some nomadic people who have no fixed residence.

A few days ago, Li Chengqian received an edict from Li Shimin ordering him to control the many governors in the north, and he immediately ordered the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Office to be moved to Baiquan County, which is 100 miles away from the Dangxiang Qiangye Li clan's settlement.

In the early morning of the same day, Li Chengqian gave the order to set off, and Xue Rengui, the vanguard officer of the march, took the lead in leading 1,000 men and horses to explore the road, and then Li Chengqian's chariot also set off with Su Dingfang's Chinese army.

Two days have passed, and thousands of troops have come all the way to be calm, which makes Li Chengqian a little skeptical about whether Wang Qun is suitable for collecting intelligence.

But at noon on the third day, as soon as the army stopped to rest, Lu Hong, the deputy general of Xue Rengui, the vanguard officer of the army, brought a message from Xue Rengui.

Li Chengqian was sitting under a neem tree to enjoy the shade.

Lu Hong, who was wearing armor, walked up to Li Chengqian and knelt down on one knee and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, when the last general and General Xue were marching in front, they encountered the attack of the Dangxiang Qiang Xifeng clan and the Yeli clan were defeated and retreated, General Xue ordered someone to collect them, and the special general came back to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince how to arrange it." ”

It was the first time Li Chengqian heard about the Dang Xiang Qiang and the Feng clan.

Originally, Li Chengqian arranged for the nearby Dangxiang Qiang people who were robbed by the Turkic tribes to ask the Yeli clan to stand up for him, but now a fine Feng clan has jumped out, how can he not take advantage of it.

"Why does this party Xiang Qiang Xifeng clan want to attack the Yeli clan?" Li Chengqian asked directly.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the leader of the Xifeng clan, Xifeng Zhu Jue, said: The Yeli clan has forcibly levied war horses, cattle and sheep from these small tribes several times in the past two months, and this last time it is to collect all the remaining 500 war horses of the Xifeng clan, and the Xifeng clan did not give it to the Yeli clan Seven days ago, he sent troops to attack the people who went out to graze the Xifeng clan, and robbed all the cattle and sheep of the Xifeng clan."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he hurriedly turned around and asked Xu Jingzong: "Has the imperial court issued an order in recent months to levy horses, cattle and sheep from the party and Xiangqiang?"

Except for the decree of the imperial court, no one dared to levy war horses, cattle and sheep from the people of the state on such a large scale.

It is rare for several pastoral supervisors around Yuanzhou to blackmail the Lanshan Department at the same time, or is it because Ashina Duxun of the Lanshan Department has a holiday with these pastoral supervisors.

Xu Jingzong thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "The Tang Dynasty has destroyed Gaochang in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, and there has been no army for two years. ”

Li Chengqian turned his head again and asked Lu Hong: "Zhu Jueke once said that Yeli levied so many cattle, sheep and horses?"

Lu Hong hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Xue asked Zhu Jue, but Zhu Jue didn't know why the Yeli clan suddenly levied horses, cattle and sheep. At first, the Yeli clan told them that it was levied by the Tang Dynasty, but someone from the Tian Feng clan went to Chang'an to sell horses and heard that the imperial court had not issued a decree this year, so they did not give it to them. ”

Li Chengqian stood up and took two steps in the original and looked up at the undulating peaks and ravines in the distance, the fog was still rising in the noon sun, making it impossible to see the straightforward scene in it.

Xindao: It seems that it is right to take the Yeli Clan this time, and then he thought of the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion that he was about to go to, so he said to Lu Hong: "You go back and tell you General Xue, and let the fine seal Zhu Jue take the clansmen to see Zheng He, the Governor of the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion tomorrow, and ask him to come forward to find the Yeli Clan to collect the war horses, cattle and sheep and come back." ”

"The last will obey!" Lu Hong said that he was about to retire, but Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't leave first, King Gu will write you a letter with you." ”

Li Chengqian told Xue Rengui in the letter that he should arrange for Zhu Jue not to mention that he had met Tang Jun when he went to see Zheng He, and that he wanted to test whether this Zheng He's surname was Jiang or Wang.

After Lu Hong left, the others also returned to their respective camps to rest or deal with military affairs, and Li Chengqian asked Wei Chigong, who had been staying with him, "Does the Duke of Eguo know about Zheng He?"

Wei Chigong said with a look of reminiscence on his face: "His Royal Highness the Prince Zheng He is a veteran, he has made great contributions when Zhenguan defended the country in the ninth year of the expedition to Tuyuhun, and was named the Duke of Gaoling County, and he has been the governor of Fangchi Prefecture for eight years this year. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Does the Duke of Eguo have an old relationship with him?"

Wei Chigong was stunned when he heard this: "It's just a general acquaintance, last year, the old minister resigned and cultivated at home, and he often remembered the battles that the Tang Dynasty had fought over the years. ”

……

……

In the evening, after the army set up camp, Li Chengqian walked slowly around the barracks with a cane, and Xu Jingzong came to report it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zheng He, the Governor of Fangchi Prefecture, will lead the civil and military officials of Baiquan County out of the city for thirty miles early tomorrow morning."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he stopped and thought about it, thirty miles away was almost a day's march of Li Chengqian's army. According to the normal journey, they will not be able to reach Baiquan County until tomorrow evening, so there will be no time for Zhu Jue to meet Zheng He tomorrow.

"Spread the will of the lonely king, rest early today, get up at three o'clock tomorrow, set off at five o'clock, and don't stop at noon, be sure to rush to Baiquan County before Shen Shi."

"Obey the order!"

……

……

Shortly after Li Chengqian's car set off on the second day, he saw from a distance the colorful sheds on the roadside in front of him, and a number of civil and military officials were standing on the side of the road waiting for his car.

As soon as Zheng He saw Li Chengqian's men and horses coming, he hurriedly led a group of civil and military officials to greet him.

Seeing this, Su Dingfang and Cheng Wu, who were walking in front of the army, hurriedly let their horses on the side of the road, and the soldiers behind them also followed to stand on both sides of the road, escorting Li Chengqian's chariot and honor guard to slowly move forward.

Li Chengqian sat in the car and looked at a tall and thin old man in a purple official uniform standing at the front, and knew that this person was Zheng He.

Because in the Fangchi Prefecture Governor's Mansion, only Zheng He was an official from Sanpin.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian was a little unhappy in his heart, and said in his heart that Zheng He looked down on himself, and he dared not wear no armor when he was in the third rank of martial arts in the future.

Li Chengqian said to Liu Kui with a calm face: "Later, they will worship on the ground, and you shout and drive directly to the car." ”

Hearing this, Liu Kui looked at Zheng He and his party in the distance and sneered: "Obey the order!" ”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they saw Zheng He and his party, who were dozens of feet away, stop and salute, kneeling on the side of the road and motionless.

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded, the officials of the Tang Dynasty didn't have to kneel when they saw the emperor!

Especially looking at Zheng He's pouting big ass as tall as a mountain wrapped in a purple official uniform, I think it's very funny.

Li Chengqian looked at the group of people kneeling on the side of the road, his mind was racing, judging from Zheng He's ass that was still as high as a mountain, didn't he look down on himself?

But he didn't believe that he killed Li Chengqian, if Li Shimin came to inspect today, he Zheng He dared to greet Li Shimin without wearing armor.

can be courteous to others, it seems that Zheng He is not simple......
