6. A peak of snow in Languan
In this way, there is a very paradoxical situation.
With the capture of Li Xilie, although Huaixi Town expressed its submission to the imperial court, it was split into two factions, Chen Xianqi and the Wu brothers, each living in three states, and each found an "intermediary", the former was Jia Tan and Cao Wanggao, and the latter was Li Mian.
The effect of Li Yuanping's words also appeared, and Jia Tan and Li Mian both vied to tell the court that Chen Xianqi (Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang) were all loyal and righteous, and they were originally bewitched by Li Xilie, but they could be appeased.
In the Hanyin Station in Xiangyang City, the sound of the banquet drums and flutes has dissipated, and among the ponds and marshes dyed by autumn colors, in the "Wild Pavilion", Gao Yue sits there, and Zhi Hui stands on his side, dealing with private letters in the free time between the camps and the opening of the camp.
Yun Shao, Yun and the two sisters all wrote letters, but since Zhi Hui pierced the thin layer of window paper that night, in the face of the greetings of his wife and sister-in-law, Gao Yue didn't know how to reply to the letter at the same time, and after holding the pen for a long time, he said to Zhi Hui with some distress: "Sister Zhi, you can write a book for me in the post station and go back to Xingyuan Mansion." ”
Zhi Hui nodded, and then she picked out another letter and gave it to Gao Yue, "Third brother, Suizhou Assassin Liu Changqing." ”
Gao Yue hurriedly opened the reading, Liu Changqing had now recovered all the land of the four counties of Suizhou, and sent a messenger to Anlu to get in touch with the Sannanxing camp, and when he knew that Gao Yue was about to leave Wuguan Road and go to Jingshi, he wrote a letter.
The core spirit of the heart is actually to express one's "envy of the fish".
To put it bluntly, Liu Changqing hoped that Gao Yue would state his hard work and loyalty in defending the land in front of His Majesty, so that he could end his career as soon as possible as the assassin of Xiazhou outside Beijing, and return to the Central Taiwan Provincial Powder Office as a Lang official.
"Even if Brother Wenfang doesn't write a letter, I have to say this!" Gao Yue was worried about another person.
This person is Gao Ying, who is still trapped in Li Huaiguang's camp.
The day after replying to Liu Changqing, Gao Yue and Zhi Hui said goodbye again, and embarked on the road to Chang'an City with the entire Sanchuan camp.
The route is actually exactly the same as the one taken when Li Xilie was defeated before, but the road to Lantian in Chang'an is completely unobstructed:
First from Xiangyang to Dengzhou Sui County, then through Xincheng, Jutan, as for the west gorge of Neixiang County to cross the Xichuan, and then through the mountain peaks towering Wuguan, after passing the Wuguan is the core of Shangzhou, after passing through the Xian'e Mountain, the camp army along the zigzag Danshui River valley.
When he was waiting for the winding mountain road called the reincarnation everywhere, Gao Yue saw that on the side of the rugged mountain road, on the ruins of a pass barrier, overgrown with autumn grass, it seemed that there was a road faintly submerged in the northwest direction of the reincarnation.
"This is Shimen Road, Jinglong years by Cui Xiang Zheng 50,000 people to excavate, open Dachang Pass, build a new road. As a result, five out of ten people died, and the new road opened was often washed away by flash floods in summer, so the travelers and stagecoaches could only continue to run the old road, and this Shimen Road was completely abandoned. At this moment, Jia Tan, who was familiar with geography, drove his horse over, pointed to this pass with a whip, and said in detail.
Gao Yue was silent, and looked back again, from here to the front of Qipanling, the road was full of hardship soldiers, leading war horses, mules and donkeys, leather carts, end to end, looking at each other, singing in unison to strengthen the morale of the army.
As for Huangshaling at the junction of Shangyu and Lantian, Jia Tan ordered Wu Xianfu to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses on the Yushan Road, to meet Li Sheng at the Dongwei Bridge as soon as possible, and to tell Wang Sanchuan of Hechuan County the news of the arrival of the camp.
Most of the camp continued to advance along the Shangzhou Post Road.
The noisy sound of water poured out from the mouth of the river valley, and on the crooked blue bridge, the chariots and horses passed in groups, and a few snowflakes began to fall on Gao Yue's shoulders, and soon disappeared - the famous snow of Languan, at the turn of autumn and winter, slightly descended, and looked very beautiful - the branches of the dense pine forests in the mountains were hung with white rime, and from a distance, it really looked like an ink painting.
The Qingyuan Temple built by Wang Wei for his deceased mother soon came to Gao Yue's eyes.
They have entered the boundary of Lantian County.
In the murmuring Rim River, in the heavy twilight bells, the grass hall of Qingyuan Temple, Gao Yue and other wingmen rose flames, accompanied by the side of Deputy Marshal Jia Tan, looking at the slight mountain scenery in the distance, the snowflakes in twos and threes under the moonlight are flying, "Shang Yu Baili Cloud, Languan a peak of snow", Jia Tan copied his hands on the dancing flames, and muttered these two sentences.
"Is the Holy Lord okay in Mukden City?" Fan Ze also sighed.
"The palace of Chang'an City is ahead, and the princes can diligently increase their strength and welcome the saint back to Beijing as soon as possible." Jia Tan looked around and said so cheerfully.
Then, Jia Tan took out the diagram and asked everyone to draw and deploy.
It's still Gao Yue who is planning:
We camped in Sanchuan, then crossed the Gongchuan, and camped in Chanshui and Bashui, and our main duty was to deal with Duan Taiwei and Hun Jinwu in the west, and Li Xianggong in the east.
Duan Taiwei is Duan Xiushi, Hun Jinwu is Hun Xuan, and Li Xianggong is Li Sheng.
Gao Yue's proposal is very cautious and cautious, not so much a military deployment, but a political deployment:
The protagonists of the recovery of Chang'an City have long been finalized as Duan Xiushi, Hun Ying and Li Sheng, and we don't want to compete in the Sanchuan camp.
Jia Tan immediately agreed to Gao Yue's plan and strategy.
The next day, the army marched to Qingniyi Station.
That night, an envoy arrived in the direction of Fengtian City, and it was Huo Zhongtang who asked Jia Tan, Fan Ze, Gao Yue, Wei Gao, Han Tan, Du Huangshang and other dignitaries to gather, saying that they had brought the message of the Holy Lord:
This attack on Chang'an City, Li Sheng served as the main force;
Duan Xiushi, Hun Xuan, and Cui Ning turned and attacked Li Huaiguang's troops in Sanyuan and Fuping.
As for the Sanchuan camp, Li Shi gave a very peculiar task to contact Zhu Jun, the rebel leader in Chang'an City.
And the protagonist in charge of liaison is Gao Yue.
Li Shi named Gao Yue, and also specially added him an envoy position, "Huangcheng Fuxuan Comfort Envoy".
Of course, Zhongguan Huo Zhong Tang Jing stayed in Sanchuan to camp as a "military envoy".
Gao Yue also learned that in the recruitment camp of Duan Xiushi, Cui Ning and Hun Ying, it was Tan Zhizhong who was the military envoy.
He is the envoy of the Imperial Town, and Huo Zhongtang is the envoy of the Guanjun, so in this Sanchuan camp, even Jia Tan has no right to explore and interfere with the negotiations between Gao Yue and the various characters in the twelve gates of the Imperial City.
After two days, Gao Yue's Baicao Army camp migrated to the left of Changle Slope in the southeast suburbs of Chang'an City, and when Gao Yue climbed to the top of the slope, he walked along the road, among the heavy trees, he went to the right to see the ruins of the Moon Hall of the Cui family of Shengping Fang, his wife A Ni was sixteen years old, and had a swing in the courtyard here, but now the Moon Hall has already been demolished by his father-in-law in accordance with the emperor's will, leaving only the plain wall with the moon window, and the plum branches and leaves on it are still there, shaking in the wind.
On the opposite side, the Red Peony Pavilion operated by Xue Lianshi was flattened by the rebels, and the timber was taken by the rebels to build a camp in the Moon Lantern Pavilion.
Here he meets all sorts of people.
Now he has to deal with some of them.
