Back to reality, the water was still hot, jumped out of the bath bucket, wiped it indiscriminately, and Yang Shuang called Xiao Maotou.

"Is there any news coming back from the west?"

"No, but a few days ago, Lu Xiaobu placed more than 5,000 Yiwu people on Yangguan Ancient Road."

"Oh? Can you see Shi Da, Niu Er and others? ”

"No, after Second Brother Ding and Third Brother Zhang left, I never saw them again."

Yang Shuang nodded, after taking Yiwu, it was no secret to send troops to the Western Regions, otherwise it would be impossible for the Dunhuang Warlord to run to Shanshan City.

"Well, rest early, and get me two fast horses before dawn tomorrow!"

"Yes, big brother!" Xiao Maotou turned around and was about to leave, and remembered something, "By the way, big brother, you may need to go back to Dunhuang." The lord is about to go to the imperial city to report on his work, and all the affairs of Dunhuang may have to be handed over to you to take care of! ”

Saying that, Xiao Maotou walked into the inner room and took out a large cloth ball from the cabinet, "This is what Second Brother Ding ordered when he left, the new Guan Cheng has not known about it, and the items sent by the Dunhuang Sentinel are placed here." ”

Yang Shuang opened the cloth group curiously, saw the things inside, and his face changed suddenly.

It turned out to be a general's order!

The linen cloth is the bottom, the rice paper is the book, and it says: Yang Shuang, the director of the two passes, returned to Dunhuang as soon as he received this order.

He can ignore the orders given verbally by the Dunhuang warlord in Shanshan City, or he can not perform the duties of the customs order, and run around without discarding the two passes, but now he sees the general's order, which is another story.

Just like in the army in the previous life, the difference between a letter and an order.

The former is negotiable. The latter must obey!

And the general order is the latter!

Ding Yanping has been away for more than a month, and the military order has been conveyed for a longer time, according to ancient military law, should he be killed with a cane, or should he be beheaded?

"And the eldest brother, the old eunuch who came from the imperial city returned to Dunhuang City before the second brother left, and he also stayed in our Yumen Pass and Yangguan for a few days, and inquired about you every day."

Yang Shuang was vigilant, "Old eunuch? How did I not know? ”

"At that time, you had already led your troops to get lost in horses! But, big brother, that's a good thing! The eunuch has always been a close person in front of the Holy Lord, and now he favors you, let's take down Yiwu again, and the future is just around the corner! ”

"Roll the calves!" Yang Shuang drove Xiao Maotou out of the house like a nervous being, closed the door, and was in a mess in his mind.

The identity of the general has been discovered?

How to break?

Is it the other way around?

But now I haven't even taken the Western Regions, and there is a Dunhuang lord in front of me, how can I do it?

Besides, the Great Sui is the world of the Han people, do you want to join the same stream with the barbarians, and draw a wound that may never be healed by the Central Plains compatriots who have only recovered with great difficulty?

Yang Shuang shook his head and smiled bitterly, suddenly remembering the Chen Dynasty in the south.

Take the troops to defect?

But Hou Chen and Yang Jian, who know a little bit of history, know the gap between the two, what's the use of going by yourself?

"Hoo ······"

Taking a deep breath and pouring a few sips of cool white, Yang Shuang's chaotic head was slightly clear.

"It seems that I have thought far away, since the old eunuch has returned again, it is estimated that I am the news of Duke An, and he is not sure, or, it has not yet reached the imperial city!"

"But where did King Shanshan get the news? Why do you call me King Wei? ”

Generally speaking, the princes who have been named the king of Wei are very good.

For example, Li Xuanba, the prototype of Li Yuanba, Li Tai, the fourth son of Li Er, and the grandson of Yelu Abaoji, who was pardoned for rebellion.

The most famous is Zhao Hao, the king of Wei, who committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea on Lu Xiufu's back.

Undoubtedly, all the princes with the word Wei Wang either hold military power in their hands, or they are quite favored.

But they all have one thing in common: they don't die well!

How is Yang Jian to the soul?

Yang Shuang didn't know, even if Dong Dazhu, a confidant of the soul before his death, couldn't say why.

Now that the order is in hand, the old eunuch doesn't know whether to go or not, Yang Shuang has to think more about the next move.

Regardless of whether to ask, continue to attack the Western Regions?

Or go back to Dunhuang and find an opportunity to get rid of the old eunuch?

Entangled, he fell asleep in a daze.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was dark, and Xiao Maotou knocked on the door.

"Big brother, the horses are ready!"

Thinking for a long time and having no clue, Yang Shuang simply stopped thinking about it, put on his clothes and armor heartlessly, and replied: "Prepare two more leg of mutton!" ”

"It's already baked!"

A moment later.

Biting the mutton, Yang Shuang turned around dozens of times with his eyes closed, and resolutely walked to the direction he was facing - Dunhuang City!

This is definitely not providence, but the deep-rooted military order in the previous life is at work!

Running for half a day, close to Dunhuang.

He did not enter the city immediately, but came to the military camp under the jurisdiction of Guan Ling.

"Huh! Ha! Kill!!! ”

The 100 sword and shield soldiers who stayed in the barracks and prepared to take turns were all in high spirits, wielding swords and shields, showing their true colors as men.

Seeing Yang Shuang coming, he hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted.

"Lord Guan Ling!"

"Five people, follow me into the city!"

"Big brother, I'll come!" A strong man with five big and three thick jumped out of the crowd.

Yang Shuang nodded, these men were the horse thieves captured in Yangguan, "Is there any news in the city?" ”

"In order to guard against the Turks, our former Styx Hippodrome has been transformed into a military camp, and a thousand armor soldiers from Dunhuang City are stationed there!"

"After the Turks retreated, I heard that the wealthy merchants of the Central Plains were preparing to reopen the Hexi Corridor, and the mighty army, Jiuquan County, and Zhangye County had already begun to build official roads and post stations."

"In the first half of the year, the lord returned to Beijing to report on his work, and when he returned the day before yesterday, he seemed to be promoted again!"

Hearing the last sentence, Yang Shuang was a little unhappy, "Grass!" Lao Tzu led people to life and death, and there was no reward for him, this old black man was actually stepping into Qinglian! ”

The five men who wanted to continue to say something shut up immediately.

Dunhuang is still the same, the only difference is that the city walls and gates are all new!

Throwing the Guan Lingzhu envoy talisman to the city guard, without waiting for the other party to salute, Yang Shuang stepped forward to hold his shoulder and asked quietly, "I heard that there is an old eunuch in our city?" ”

"Lord Hui, that's true, that demon····· That lord waited for a long time to make you not return, and was about to leave, but for some reason he hurried back, and now he is living in the east of the city. ”

Yang Shuang grabbed his shoulders and handed over the roast leg of lamb silently, "I heard that Lao Hei has been promoted again?" ”

"The lord returned to the imperial city to report on his work, and was promoted to the head of the Dunhuang march, the fifth grade, and the opening of the palace with the three divisions."

“······” Yang Shuang's heart was a little sour.

The ceremony is the same as the three divisions, but the non-three princes have the treatment of the three publics.

Although he became a loose official in the Sui and Tang dynasties, during the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian was equivalent to the general of Kaifu in order to encircle his subordinates.

It means that Lao Hei became the emperor of the soil in Dunhuang, and he can be an official under his subordinates without going through Zuo Wuwei!

Hemp eggs!

Yang Shuang's face changed, and he walked into the city quickly, heading straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

The scenery in the house has not changed much, the walls are broken and the thatched houses are broken, only the poplar tree in the courtyard that has been burned off its branches and leaves, and everyone originally thought it was dead, has sent out green shoots again.

And Lao Hei is wearing a short fighting suit, practicing boxing under the tree.

The dragon walks and walks like a rainbow!

"Master, please be worshipped by your disciples!!"
