Zhang Xuan led the army to leave Chang'an and conquer Longshuo, while guarding Princess Wanchun and pro-Tubo.

According to the conventional route, the itinerary of the army should be out of Chang'an, to Yongzhou, then through Puzhou, northwest to Gyeongju, and then along Luoshui west to Xiazhou, and then through Huaiyuan to the bottom of the Holland Mountain, to the final month of the Lingzhou, the original Shuo Fang Jiedu envoy station, now the location of the Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Office.

But Zhang Xuan did not let the army take the regular route, but personally drew up a detour route.

From Yongzhou and Puzhou, enter the east and merge the state, and then turn back to the northwest from the periphery of the state, go around a circle in the east of the Fanyang River in An Lushan, pass through Xiazhou and Huaiyuan County, and then arrive at Lingzhou.

The route of this detour is much farther than the regular route, with the former taking more than a month for a large army and the latter taking at least two months. More than 10,000 military horses accompanied each other, coupled with Princess Wanchun's wedding honor guard, the momentum was huge, and it was originally very slow, and if it took such a detour, I am afraid that it would be close to early summer when it reached Lingzhou.

The change of route was proposed by Zhang Xuan when he camped on the evening of the first day after leaving Chang'an. Everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to ask. Only Xiao Shisanlang vaguely guessed Zhang Xuan's intentions, which seemed to be to delay time.

The army marched slowly, and on the first day it marched sixty miles, and it was not until dusk on the second day that it felt a town on the outskirts of Yongzhou.

The town was sparsely populated, and suddenly such a large army and guard of honor came, and the people shouted and neighed into a mess, which immediately disturbed the peace of the town. All the towns and people were in a panic, and they were afraid that they would cause some trouble, but fortunately, Zhang Xuan's military order was issued, and the army camped on the open ground outside the town if it did not enter the town.

It's just that Zhang Xuan's handsome tent, the command hub of the army, and the honor guard of Princess Wanchun entered the town and requisitioned several mansions.

Before the camp was completed, a cold spring breeze blew, and in a moment, sparse raindrops fell on the sky.

After a while, the rain became more and more dense, and the scenery near and far was shrouded in the rain and fog of the maze. After dinner, although the rain did not stop, it did not rain any more, and it was still dripping.

Zhang Xuan stood quietly at the door of the tent, looking up at the sky under the escort of several soldiers, letting the rain fall on him, gradually wetting his clothes.

The rain is indeed not heavy, ticking and ticking, it doesn't look like it's raining, but it looks like the world in front of you is blocked in the dense rain in the fog ※ From a distance, the town, Hengyu, and the dense barracks tents are only a somewhat vague wheel corridor.

There were a few more bursts of thunder in the sky, Zhang Xuan walked into the rain and mist, and immediately a fresh and cool feeling permeated his whole body. The raindrops were cold on the body, but there was a moist and warm smell in the air.

"What a spring rain!" Zhang Xuan turned around and looked at the two soldiers who were closely behind him, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Pass on the military order of this official, and quickly pass everyone to discuss the matter with the official tabernacle!" ”

Zhang Xuan strode back to the tent.

The soldiers hurriedly beckoned the heralds, stood in the rain and blew the trumpet of the commander to convene the generals and officials to discuss the matter.

The desolate and graceful military horn replied in the rain curtain, and immediately from all directions, the sound of rapid and powerful footsteps and galloping sounds, all the civil and military generals under Zhang Xuan, who could be ranked on the top number, came from their respective camps to the tent.

Under Zhang Xuan's handsome case, seats are set up on the left and right.

Feng Chong was the first to walk into the tent and took a handful of the rain on his forehead, bowed to Zhang Xuan and said, "Xiaguan Feng Chong greets the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

"Lord Feng, please be seated." Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said in a harmonious voice.

Not long after, Zhou Xuchu, Zhang Xun, Cui Jin, Chen Tong and other civil officials, Gu Xi, Xiao Shisanlang, Lei Wanchun, Nan Jiyun and other military generals also entered the tent one after another, and returned to their seats after the ceremony.

Zhang Xuan glanced at the first vacant position on the left, and a smile ♀ appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the seat belonged to Li Fuguo, the internal supervision army who was reprimanded in public yesterday. Li Fuguo is the deputy envoy of Heqin, and he is also the supervisor of Longshuo, in terms of position and grade, he is on a par with Feng Chong, and he is higher than Zhou Xuchu and Zhang Xunjiao Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, "Go and ask Li Jianjun to discuss the matter." ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan's words came out, everyone's faces couldn't help but be a little complicated and weird.

Yesterday, Li Fuguo was scolded with a cane for twenty years, and he still can't get out of bed, and many soldiers can hear him crouching on the carriage and making painful groans as the road fluctuates.

But Zhang Xuan was like this, Zhou Xuchu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to pass on Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo was lying on the bed in his camp tent, and a military doctor had just come to change his medicine, and his buttocks were bloodied, and the swelling had not yet subsided, and he could not get up at all.

He groaned on his lips, cursing Zhang Xuan in his heart, accumulating a monstrous hatred for Zhang Xuan. It's just that I can only silently hold it in my heart.

At this moment, a soldier came to report that it was Zhang Xuan who had sent him to the Shuai tent to intervene in the deliberations, and he couldn't help but turn pale with anger and his mouth trembled. He's like this, he can't get out of bed and walk at all, how can he join the discussion? This Zhang Xuan is also too deceitful!

Li Fuguo scolded Zhang Xuan in his heart, but he still didn't dare to disobey Zhang Xuan's intentions.

He had to let two soldiers carry him and slowly walk towards the tent.

Regarding Zhang Xuan's methods, Li Fuguo was too deeply taught. He knew that if he had any more pain in the army that fell into Zhang Xuan's hands, the next thing he would face was a disaster, which might be life-threatening.

Along the way, Li Fuguo was ruthless in his heart, he didn't dare to speak, and his mouth was bitten raw, oozing a trace of blood.

When he was approaching the handsome tent, he quietly reached into his arms and pinched a secret decree that the crown prince Li Heng sent him to the East Palace before leaving, and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness and resentment.

Li Heng gave Li Fuguo a secret decree, saying that if he saw that Zhang Xuan had a bad heart of disrespecting the imperial court, he could use the secret decree to remove Zhang Xuan from his official position and act expediently, and replace him.

Of course, there is a premise for this secret decree, that is, Zhang Xuan has the same rebellious heart as An Lushan. Li Fuguo can only expound his role when he takes it out at a certain critical moment, and if he takes it out now, he can only bury his own life. Don't Zhang Xuan can't spare him, I'm afraid Li Heng will be the first to kill him.

"Zhang Xuan'er, don't leave the sore spot in our hands...... Let's just wait, wait and see who has the last laugh. When the time comes, our family will let the family be destroyed and the clan will be ashamed of today! ”

Li Fuguo let out a silent roar full of resentment in his heart.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Fuguo was carried in by two soldiers, covered with a thin quilt. He knelt on the stretcher, reluctantly smiled and said, "The auxiliary country has seen the metropolitan governor, the auxiliary country can't get up, there is rudeness, please forgive the metropolitan governor!" ”

Two soldiers laid him on the ground.

Li Fuguo crouched there, facing the majestic gaze of Zhang Xuan from behind the handsome case, and the strange eyes of the civil and military subordinates around him, feeling like a monkey, ashamed and angry.

He lowered his head slightly.

Before entering the tent, he was fully mentally prepared to continue to bear Zhang Xuan's humiliation. But Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay." Today, the official convened a meeting, and Lord Li was the deputy envoy of his relatives and the supervisor of Longshuo, so he naturally couldn't be absent. ”

Li Fuguo regarded himself as Zhang Xuan's "opponent", but he didn't know that Zhang Xuan didn't really take him seriously from beginning to end. In Zhang Xuan's eyes, he is like an ant.

All the generals were a little surprised∨ Xuan looked at his subordinates very modestly, and he was extremely respectful of others, and he could even be a corporal of Lixian, but why did he treat this Li Fuguo so badly Many people felt that this was Zhang Xuan's expression of resentment and dissatisfaction with the prince's dispatch to the supervising army.

Actually, it doesn't.

Zhang Xuan looked around at everyone and snickered in his heart, but he guessed the thoughts of the generals.

He turned to stare at Li Fuguo, who was lying on the stretcher, and suddenly smiled indifferently and said, "Lord Li, yesterday this official was a regular military discipline, and he will not be tortured, if there is any offense, please forgive Lord Li." ”

"This official governs the army, and has always advocated strict words, and military orders are like mountains. If people have no faith, they will not stand, and if the army is not disciplined, they will not be able to form an army. When the army moves, it must be ordered to stop. Today, this official once again reiterates in front of you that from this official down, no matter who violates military discipline and state law, this official will not pay dividends, and the city will severely punish him! ”

Zhang Xuan's voice slowly became cold.

Feng Chong and the others hurriedly got up and bowed together, "The lower officials and others must obey the orders of the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

Li Fuguo said in his heart that the young cat cried and the mouse was fake Cizhi, and the rod scolded our family for twenty and almost killed our family, so what did he do in turn?

Li Fuguo said softly in his signature shrill voice, "Fuguo violated military discipline and was engaged in military law by the metropolitan governor, and he was pinched in his heart, and there was no complaint. ”

Zhang Xuan laughed loudly, "Li Jianjun can think like this, and this official is very comforted. Get up, Li Jianjun's trip to Longshuo is the result of the official personally going to the East Palace to plead with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Prison State. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refused to let him go, but the official felt that it was very important to go to Longshuo and pro-Tubo, and if there was Li Jianjun to consult the military aircraft from the side, he could share a lot of pressure for the official. ”

"Zhou Changshi, I will tell the military doctor for a while, go to Li Jianjun to diagnose and treat the staff injury ♀, march all the way to Longshuo, the road is far away, Li Jianjun is injured with the army, there is a lot of convenience."

After Zhang Xuan's words, Feng Chong and the others were taken aback ♀, Li Fuguo was sent to the army as a supervisor, and it was Zhang Xuan himself who took the initiative to ask for it?

Chen Tong felt a little weird, and secretly glanced at Zhang Xuan and frowned. After being in contact with Zhang Xuan for a period of time, Chen Tong has always felt that Zhang Xuan can't see through this person, and there seems to be a layer of fog around his body. He remembered what his grandfather Chen Xian told him the night before he left: "Tong'er, although Zhang Xuan is young, he is decisive in killing, and his scheming methods are very accessible." When doing things under him, you must be cautious, and you must not talk too much, and you must not follow the will. Remember the old man's words, with the old man in Chang'an, Zhang Xuan can naturally send a meritorious fortune
