17. Set up camp in Shendu Garden
Cui Yunhe had previously learned the news that Zhao Jing, the squire of Zhongshu, was assassinated in Dongdu, and now he heard that Gao Yue commanded so many soldiers and horses, saying that he was leading the town of Huainan, but in fact, the eastern capital, Henan, Huaixi, Huainan, etc. were all under his control, and he had to deal with Wu Shaocheng and Li Shigu at the same time, and he couldn't help but worry about his personal safety, "Zhao Zhonglang just bled Luoyang, and his brother-in-law went again as a substitute, in case there was any accident, it could be ......"
Yun Shao is a natural optimist, and she was relieved that although your brother-in-law borrowed the "Tooth Army" from Xingyuan, Fengxiang, and Jiannan Wei Gao and Wu Xianfu from Suining has not yet arrived, His Majesty has also sent a full 500 knights of the Shenwei Army to guard them day and night, and nothing will go wrong.
Saying this, Yunhe was a little relieved.
But she is still quite disappointed in her heart, she wants her brother-in-law to see the child, but he is always full of state affairs.
Chang'an to Luoyang, it is almost a horizontal line, through Tongguan is also, to go out of the Jingzhao Mansion Xikou Station, travel less than dozens of miles, Gao Yue and the accompanying military horses arrived at the Pude Station of Huazhou, the "first county of Jingdong".
Pude Post is a large post with spacious buildings and pedestrians, but since receiving the news that Gao Yue was coming to rest, the post chief and the post guards have already dispersed the surrounding crowd and greeted them on the side of the road.
Looking at the inscription written by Cui Youfu outside the post station, Gao Yue was full of emotion, when he was still a Qingyi imperial history, he and Lu Zhen went to Yuzhou together to handle the case of Guanzhuang, and more than ten years have passed.
Cui Youfu died, and Lu Qi, the assassin of Yuzhou, also died, who would have thought that the two Qingyi royal histories would now be in the same political hall?
However, in addition to nostalgia, Gao Yue still wants to see someone in Huazhou.
His teacher, Liu Yan, who lived in seclusion in Shidi Valley.
"I'm going to pay homage to someone." But Gao Yue's words didn't work, he rode a horse and just set off from Pude Station, followed by two or three hundred Shenwei disciples, banners and halberds surrounded him, tightly.
In desperation, when Gao Yue arrived at the mouth of the stone embankment valley, he strictly ordered this group of people to stop and not to disturb my Yan Shi.
But who would have thought that Liu Yan's youngest son Zongjing had already heard that the prime minister of the country was going to visit his father in Shidi Valley, so he stood at the mouth of the valley, and after saluting Gao Yue, he refused and said: "Father knows that Zhonglang is visiting, so let Zongjing set up a thin wine treat here, and ask Zhonglang to take state affairs as the priority, and then return immediately." ”
Gao Yue was very melancholy, so he asked Liu Zongjing, why is Master Yan like this?
"My father said that Ben and Zhonglang were familiar with each other when they were in Beijing, and they worked together for the country, but now they are far away from Shidao, and Zhonglang is a stranger, so they don't need to see each other." After speaking, Zongjing pointed to the avenue to the east of the valley mouth and said, "This is the road to Dongdu", and then pointed to the deep stone embankment valley, "This is to Shangluo Road." ”
Meaning, the roads are different.
Gao Yue was helpless, so he could only ask if Master Yan was healthy?
Zongjing replied that it was still healthy.
He asked Master Yan's family again.
Zongjing replied that my uncle (Liu Xian) was the imperial historian of the school, the eldest brother was the doctor of Taichang in Beijing, the brother-in-law (Pan Yan) had passed away, and the servant himself was serving his father in the house.
So Gao Yue could only turn his horse's head, looking back at the peaks of the Shidi Valley where the verdant and autumn colors reflected each other, and the ethereal clouds, he really couldn't see Liu Yan's manor, so he could only slowly return to Pude Station.
"High School Lang!" At this time, Liu Zongjing arched his hand at him and said, "My father also instructed that when Gao Gao Lang returns from this great achievement, he must have a deeper understanding of the current situation in the world, and my father will hold a banquet at Sanmenxia at that time, in order to meet with Zhonglang." ”
"Is it another question?" Gao Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly......
A few days later, after passing Gaoyue in Shaanzhou, he arrived at Ganshuiyi in the southwest of the eastern capital, and Duya led all the officials and generals of the Eastern Shogunate and Henan Prefecture to welcome the new Zhongshu Shilang.
At the post hall, Gao Yue didn't have any greetings, so he asked the others to retreat, and then said directly to Du Ya: "Du Gong, this Ganshui Station continues to the east, and it can go straight to Shendu Yuan, right?" ”
Duya said yes.
"In other words, the mountain shed that assassinated Zhao Zhonglang should also take this route."
Du Ya continued to say yes, and said that the bad people in Henan Mansion had found traces left by the murderer in Shendu Garden and Shangyang Palace.
"But Li Shigu's backyard is east of Yishui in the city, and the monk Yuanjing is in the southwest of the city, in Zhongyue Song Mountain, according to you, if it is really Yique and Luhun counties that committed the crime, why do you want to go far?"
Duya was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
And Gao Yue also smiled and said nothing, but said to Du Ya, my camp is not located in the city, but in the Shendu Garden.
"Why is that?" Duya asked.
"Hundreds of Shenwei disciples follow me, and they will definitely disturb the people in the city." Gao Yue then pointed to his head and said with a smile, "And the murderer may still have a remnant of the party lurking in the city, I am entrusted by His Majesty, if the things on the item are also lost, it will really be impossible to redeem death." ”
Du Ya laughed at Gao Yue's timidity in his heart, and immediately arranged for people to assist Gao Yue's team to set up camp in Shendu Yuan, and he took his leave and went to the camp of the Yique defenders.
As a result, the camp was completed, and Gao Yue summoned the two Shenwei generals who accompanied him, Li Jingzhong and Li Yuanchen.
Li Jingzhong is Li Shuwen, the former shooter of the Shenwei Army, and Li Yuanchen is Mo Liuhun who "can't leave Meng".
"You two were previously from a mountain shed in the area of Shannan East Road, and you are familiar with their behavior, so you will immediately bring thirty pieces of silver to help me find someone near Shendu Garden."
"Looking for whom?" The two asked.
Thirty pieces of silver, which is about 500 yuan, is a lot of money.
"If there is really a mountain shed from other places to Shendu Yuan, it will take at least a hundred miles along the road, and it is impossible to completely cover people's ears and eyes, the person I am looking for is very simple, on the day of Zhao Zhonglang's death, I have seen people from other mountain sheds."
"What if that person refuses to disclose it?"
Gao Yue laughed, "Then there must be a price that can be disclosed by him, and I think thirty pieces of silver should be enough." ”
"What about you?"
"I'm here, waiting for someone else." Gao Yue was calm and relaxed.
Next, in the Shendu Garden, Gao Yue led dozens of people every day to hunt at the foot of the mountain, and declared to the outside world:
"After our Ya army comes, we will first ask for Ziqing, and then pacify Huaixi."
Quhuan, Liu Chang, Zhang Wanfu, and Dong Jin, who were stationed at the junction of Ruzhou and Dengzhou, all kept sending pleadings to ask Gao Yue for the next military deployment, but Gao Yue just replied: "When my elite army that has destroyed the party and Xifan arrives in the eastern capital, I will attack with one drum. All you need is a deep ditch and a high base, each guarding its own realm, and those who go out to fight without authorization will be killed. ”
Not to mention, Gao Yue's words still stimulated Li Shigu a lot.
In the city of Yunzhou, Li Shigu said anxiously: "Gao Yue is a scholar, but his Dingwu Army and Yining Army have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are the elite of the anti-Tibetan army. ”
At this moment, Ling Huzao, who had previously gone to Beijing to do something for him, offered advice and said: "Your Majesty, now we still have to think about it in the long run, and we have to explain it to the imperial court and affirm that we did not kill Zhao Jing." ”
