There were too many soldiers in Fanyang Jiedu, so it was naturally impossible for all of them to enter the city, and the usual practice was to be stationed outside the city, like other departments, and camp on the side of Weishui.

Although he had a Han name, Sun Xiaozhe was an out-and-out Khitan, and the Khitan at that time was not the overlord of the grassland a hundred years later, but a medium-sized tribe struggling to survive between the Hui people and the Tang Dynasty, and even the Bohai people, who actually ruled northeastern China, were inferior.

And in the Tang Dynasty, a golden age when the Fan Han family was truly achieved, and even surpassed it, there were many people like him who served in the Tang Army, such as Li Guangbi.

An Lushan entered Chang'an City with an escort of about 100 people, leaving these cronies outside the city, and he didn't need to say it explicitly, he also knew what he should do.

The cavalry of 3,000 people, there are nearly 10,000 war horses alone, and the territory occupied is naturally not small, so many war horses are released every day, and from a distance it looks like it is on the steppe in Mobei, grazing in addition to the sergeants in the camp, there are also some herdsmen, these men in the dress of the steppe herdsmen, combing the Turkic style of braids, without any weapons, except for a horse whip.

"There are two teams in the front and rear, and one outside the camp, and reinforcements will be sent at will, and if there is a change, most of the camp will assemble and attack within a moment, and there are no less than a hundred shepherds outside, and their families are captured in the camp, and if these people want to escape, they will affect their families."

In the market town by the river, several men were lying on the roof of a thatched hut, looking at the herd of horses about fifty paces away, and the man among them was Tian Qianzhen.

Xu Guangjing and Chen Jin held him hostage left and right, and seeing those familiar colleagues, Tian Qianzhen had to try to resist the urge to rush over and expose everything, because he didn't know if something happened to his family, and if something happened, what kind of treatment would he receive.

"Captured?" Chen Jin asked in surprise.

"Yes, they are Tongluo."

Xu Guangjing looked at the herdsmen in the distance, except that they did not wear armor, and the soldiers who monitored them around were not much different, and this soldier and horse were mostly Hu people.

"Do you mean to say that An Lushan treats these ordinary herdsmen as prisoners of sacrifice to the Son of Heaven?"

"That's probably the case." Tian Qianzhen didn't know this person's plan, and he didn't think that with just a hundred people, he could do what about the 3,000 people here.

"Alright, let's go."

After observing for a while, Xu Guangjing patted him, got up and stepped on the ladder to get off the roof, Tian Qianzhen glanced at the team of sergeants outside the herd with complicated eyes before getting up, almost every one of them he recognized.

Back at their camp, they will mark the information they have collected on a map, and they will do this every day.

Yan Zhuang habitually twisted his beard under his chin, and after such a long period of cultivation, he could already understand this mapping method that was incompatible with his own time and space, that is, it was more realistic.

"The capture of the Tongluo people should not exceed 1,000 people, at least half of them are old and weak women and children, which means that the damage of Absi is limited, and the Tongluo cavalry is at least 5,000, and the whole clan is more than 10,000 tents, such a large force, once they run to the nomadic land of Gebe, do you think they will be good enough to wear the same pants?"

Liu Ji's words made everyone in the tent laugh, and even Tian Qianzhen couldn't help but crook the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, that explains why he arrived in the capital so quickly."

Yan Zhuang pointed to the camp and said, "Except for the Tongluo people, he didn't bring any extra baggage, there will only be one reason. ”

"He entered the customs directly from Yunzhong, and he never returned to Fanyang at all."

In this regard, Liu Ji also thought so, Yan Zhuang before being captured by them, the last letter sent was to inform the Tang Dynasty of the results of the war against Tubo, this time, and Gongsun Auntie and Nanba went north, almost coincided, assuming that at that time An Lushan and Absi each tacitly withdrew their troops, the former was able to rush to the capital in such a short time, for this victory, made a perfect footnote.

"What do you mean, sir?" Liu Ji looked at him, but Yan Zhuang glanced at Tian Qianzhen, who was puzzled at first, and then opened his mouth wide in shock.

"Hao." Yan Zhuang called his nickname and said, "If Gao Shang is trusted, where will he go at this moment?" ”

Tian Qianzhen was stared at by all the people in the tent, closed his eyes helplessly, and spit out two words softly.

"Eastern Capital."

Luoyang, Henan Province, was once the political center of the Wu Zhou Dynasty and was known as the "Divine Capital".

In later maps of China, it was located almost centrally, and in the eighth century, it was also the most important economic and political center outside of Guanzhong.

Yan Zhuang looked back at Liu Ji and said with a smile: "What does Lang Jun think?" ”

"!"

Liu Ji slammed his fist on the map.

Luo Xizao's case did not make much waves at first, because his reputation in the court was very ordinary, and he lost the protection of Li Linfu, even if no one saw the wind and stepped on the rudder, at least he would have a wait-and-see attitude, which meant that almost no one spoke for him.

For the officials involved, this is fatal, because the Son of Heaven will think that you deserve it.

The case was handed over to Dali Temple, supervised by the Constitutional Department and the Imperial History Observatory, and there were people from several aspects, and it seemed that there was a fair and just posture, so when a thick confession was presented to Li Longji's desk by Wei Xuzhou, the secretary of Dali Temple, the result of his person was already doomed.

"Tell me, who have been brought out." Surprisingly, Li Longji didn't even look at the papers, so he asked.

"Yuan Xi, Li Congyi, Wei Zhi, Wei Jiehao, Zhang Boji....... And also. Wei Xuzhou hesitated for a moment.

"Who?"

"Gwen."

Li Longji's brows furrowed suddenly, and he glanced deeply at Wei Xuzhou, who had no fear, a natural expression, and a straight waist.

This person is of the same clan as Wei Jiansu, the squire of the Ministry of Education, and Wei Jiansu is the person he admires, and the relationship with Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong is not bad, not to mention, Wei Zhi and Wei Jiexuan involved in the case are also from the Wei family, and there is no framing or anything else, Luo Xixiao and Ji Wen are Li Linfu's right-hand men, two fierce mastiffs, and it is no longer normal to pull the latter out of him?

But at this moment, it was Yang Guozhong's first difficulty, and he couldn't help but think about going to the next level.

Because he had it at hand, he put it and recommended Ji Wen as the squire of the military department, and the person who went up was An Lushan, who had just returned to Beijing.

"The confession is left, I will take a look at it first, and after you go back, I will discuss a detailed charter with Zhang Jun and Yang Guozhong and hand it over."

"Obey."

Wei Xuzhou bowed out, Li Longji flipped through the confession, the content of it was shocking, and he was furious, if everything was true, this person should really be a heinous traitor.

Then again, will the equally famous Jiwen be much better?

So what about Li Linfu, who has always relied on them as his confidant?

Li Longji suddenly remembered what Li Linfu said before he died, perhaps it was not to retreat as advance, but to be sincere, and his fingers turned to the end, and on them were the signatures of several chief judges.

Meta-loaded? Isn't this the prince's man?
