In response to this group of rebels, the strategy formulated in Xue Shao's mind was quite clear.

They are different from Du Zheng and others. Du Zheng and others can be regarded as "defeated soldiers" at most, but almost none of these people in front of them are injured and have thrown away their armor, so it is very likely that they are "deserters".

Deserters who return to the barracks will definitely be severely punished, so they are very afraid of military law and Pei Xingjian, and they dare not return to the barracks at all for fear of being caught by the Tang army.

Therefore, only by throwing a thigh that is bigger than Pei Xingjian and letting them hold it as a talisman can they be interested!

"Boy, do you want to say it?!" The rebel soldier viciously pressed the tip of his knife against Xue Shao's throat, almost seeing blood.

"Okay, okay, I say!" Xue Shao swallowed his saliva and whispered: "Cao Huaishun was defeated in Gyeongju this time, and the imperial court was supposed to punish him, but in fact, it was a change of direction to beat and suppress Pei Xingjian. However, Pei Xingjian relied on his strength to protect Cao Huaishun and let him make meritorious contributions to Shuozhou. Unexpectedly, Cao Huaishun was stubborn and self-serving, did not distinguish between fiction and reality, and sent troops to attack Heisha without authorization, resulting in the loss of his teacher and humiliation of the country and the loss of Shuozhou. The Shuo Dynasty was originally one, and as soon as Shuozhou was lost, the Daizhou would soon fall, and the entire Hebei would not be at peace. You say, does Cao Huaishun deserve death for his endless crimes? ”

"Yes, that bastard is the one who has caused us to fall to this point for his own selfishness!!" The sergeants immediately cursed.

Xue Shao was overjoyed, it seems that I judged correctly, these people are soldiers from Shuozhou! Cao Huaishun was originally the governor of Gyeongju, and he led the Shuozhou soldiers to lose the battle, and the Shuozhou soldiers did not buy his account and looked at him wrongly, which is a matter of course!

"Brothers, don't panic, don't panic, listen to me!" Xue Shao whispered, "Cao Huaishun is Pei Xingjian's person, and the queen of heaven has long looked at him unpleasantly." The last time he was treated, he was not governed, because Pei Xingjian relied on his military achievements and high prestige to exert pressure on the imperial court. Now that Cao Huaishun has done this kind of thing of losing his teacher and humiliating the country, as long as I report the truth to the ears of the queen of heaven, Cao Huaishun will definitely die, and Pei Xingjian will no longer be able to cover up the military situation for him. Once Cao Huaishun is punished, Pei Xingjian will not be able to escape the involvement. You think, if I help the queen of heaven cut off Cao Huaishun and hit Pei Xingjian, a mortal enemy, wouldn't it be a great achievement? Diva of heaven, can you not reward me again? ——Before leaving, the queen of heaven promised me, as long as things are done properly, I will be awarded five grades of loose officials, and another hundred taels of gold and Liangtian Meiji, Chang'an, this is a great wealth waiting for me! ”

These low-level sergeants listened to Xue Shao's nonsense about high-level schemes, the political situation of the court and the military affairs, and they were all confused and shocked.

"Boy, are you serious?" The sergeant asked.

"Nonsense!" Xue Shao snorted, "Otherwise, you make up a set of such stories to tell me?" ”

"......" The sergeants were dumbfounded for a moment, this long story, let alone making it up by themselves, even after listening to the retelling, it can't be told completely!

"Still don't let me go? I am your riches, and you have done this to me! ”

The sergeants hurriedly let him go, and said in disbelief: "If we escort you all the way back to Chang'an, can you keep us from dying and send us some money home?" ”

"So you're just a little bit of a good idea? Sure enough, it's a poor sour leopard! Xue Shao sneered, "Damn it, it's Cao Huaishun, what does it have to do with you?" If you are as filial as I am to the Queen of Heaven and do this errand, you will be a hero! The golden land and the beautiful servants are a fart, do you dare to make you a seven-grade official? ”

"Boy, don't brag!" The guards' eyes lit up.

"Believe it or not!" Xue Shao took his hair and looked very chic and arrogant, "When Shuozhou fell, I had already ordered someone to secretly take down Cao Huaishun and send him to Bingzhou!" - Do you know the way? ”

The sergeants were taken aback again and made a surprise gesture, "Good! That foolish official is damn good! ”

"I'm miserable!" Xue Shao sighed and said: "I was going to go to Daizhou again to investigate the military situation, but I happened to encounter the fall of Daizhou, so I mixed with a group of fleeing refugees and miscellaneous soldiers, and hid in the jungle for several days before I picked up a life. I thought I had found a group of you men who were a little bold and dared to take wealth and nobility, but I didn't expect you to be more cautious and courageous than girls! Forget it, I won't tell you more! You will continue to be deserters and mountain bandits, and I will go to Bingzhou to escort Cao Huaishun back to Chang'an and receive my wealth! ”

After that, Xue Shao ran away.

"Stand still, stand still!" Several chaotic soldiers swarmed up and grabbed Xue Shao again, this time with a rope.

"Let's go, go back and talk to the boss! This kid may really be our life talisman and great wealth, look at it, don't let him run away! ”

Xue Shao struggled and scolded vigorously, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh in his heart, well, he finally said the interests in the hearts of these people-if you want to drive them again, there will be hope!

The rebels tied up Xue Shao and threw him into a private house and sent three people to take care of it, and then several leaders got together to discuss.

Xue Shao shouted arrogantly: "I am the secret envoy of the Queen of Heaven, and I want to take you to get rich together!" Hurry up and get me something to eat, what good will it do you to starve me to death? ”

He deliberately shouted loudly, so that more rebels would know about this matter and arouse their desire to "be good".

The pawn who was in charge of guarding him pondered for a while, and really brought Xue Shao something to eat and drink, and fed him one bite at a time.

A guy also whispered flatteringly: "If I serve you well and wait until I return to Chang'an, can you help me get a petty official?" You don't need seven products, just nine products! ”

"When I go back to Chang'an and become a five-grade Beijing official, it will be Tonggui!" Xue Shao said with a straight look, "I have the power to raise people for the imperial court, and I want you to be a seven, eight, or nine grade official, just like eating and drinking tea!" - Have you heard of it? ”

The man was excited, and without hesitation, he came to untie Xue Shao's rope. The two people next to him pulled him away and rushed to untie Xue Shao's rope.

"What are you doing!" With a loud shout, a few people who looked like leaders came. The pawns hurriedly stopped and slipped aside.

At first, a tall guy with a beard and a fierce face pulled out a knife and cut off Xue Shao's head without saying a word.

Xue Shao's heart was cold, fuck, I confessed like this?!

The tip of the knife stopped an inch in front of Xue Shao's forehead.

"Yo, a little guts, it's like a person who does big things!" The bearded man sneered, "Search him!" ”

Several people came forward and searched Xue Shao's body for a while, found out his military registration and handed it to the beard.

The bearded man picked it up and looked at it, and sneered, "One of the Yue cavalry pawns of the Right Guard Xun Mansion also dares to pretend to be the secret envoy of the Queen of Heaven?" ”

"Speak as if you know everything!" Xue Shao sneered even more.

"What do you mean?"

Xue Shao sighed, full of "Xiucai can't explain when he meets soldiers", and said: "Since you are a secret envoy, of course you have to hide your identity, and the lower your position, the more inconspicuous it is." If I am asked to be a senior officer in the army, isn't it clear that it attracts attention and is guarded against? Besides, have you ever seen a handsome and dashing person like me, who is rich in learning and five cars, who talks about the past and the present, who knows everything about the affairs of the court? …… Act like a snob! ”

"You! ......" The beard was so angry that his face trembled, and he immediately put on a flattering smile again, "Untie your envoy!" ”

"That's right!" Xue Shao sighed, "What's your name, and what was your previous official position?" ”

"I am the infantry captain of the Shuozhou Military Government, known as Feng Laoqi."

"Okay." Xue Shao said, "Captain Feng, when you protect me and return to Chang'an, I will use the power of nobility to promote people and make you a seven-rank Beijing official!" ”

According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the "Zhichong Mansion" has been set up in many prefectures and counties as a means of border military defense and local security and violence prevention. All the Zhichong Mansions in the Tang Dynasty are subordinate to the twelve guards of the imperial court. Feng Laoqi, as the captain of Shuozhou Zhichong Mansion, is a "local" level junior officer, if he can go to the capital to be a Beijing official, it will definitely be a soaring talent.

Feng Laoqi's eyes suddenly lit up, but he said: "The Qipin Jingguan doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes, I just hope that we, the brothers who were born and died, can clear our names and return to our hometown to reunite with our families!" ”

"That's absolutely fine!" Xue Shao said categorically, "The queen of heaven has always been kind to those who are loyal to her old man!" ”

The two pawns brought up the horse broth and steamed cakes left and right, and Xue Shao devoured them violently.

"I said, your envoy ......" Feng Laoqi blasted away the others, squatted beside Xue Shao, and whispered: "Since Marshal Pei's army has arrived in Bingzhou, and your prisoner Cao Huaishun is also in Bingzhou, if our people appear in Bingzhou, we will definitely be taken down and punished immediately, how about it?" ”

"Don't worry, it won't!" Xue Shao said, "As soon as I arrived in Bingzhou, I revealed my identity. No matter how bold Marshal Pei is, he doesn't dare to move the secret envoy of the Queen of Heaven! ”

"Then what if Marshal Pei doesn't give you a chance to speak, just take it and cut it down?" Feng Laoqi said, "The Hebei army is now under the control of Marshal Pei, and the execution of deserters in the army is his power!" ”

Xue Shao felt a thrill in his heart, this Feng Laoqi looked like a rough man, but he also had a bit of brains.

But, that's a good question!

"You're right, it's possible!" Xue Shao put on a very worried look, thought for a moment, and suddenly made a happy look of "my brain is wide open", and said, "I have a way!" ”

"What's the solution?"

"The other day I fled with a group of refugees and routs, about four or five hundred people. Many of them are refugees from Daizhou. Xue Shao said, "When we go back to Bingzhou, we must take these people with us!" ”

"What do you take them for?" Feng Laoqi's face changed suddenly, "There is not much food, and it has to be distributed to those refugees; Along the way, they have to wait for them to go slowly, when will they get to the state? ”

"Let's just say that you don't know strategy and don't understand politics!" Xue Shao sneered, "If it's just us going back together, look at you one by one, your clothes and armor are thrown away, and you are obviously deserters; If we escort the people back to the state together, then we are protecting the people. Even if Pei Xingjian knew that we were deserters, he couldn't hide the mouths of the people, and he didn't dare to kill us without permission! ”

"Hey, that's smart! It is worthy of being a fine person who can be valued by the diva! Feng Laoqi's eyes lit up, "Where are they?" ”

"Just now I was nesting in the jungle across the village entrance. Send some men with me and get them here." Xue Shao said, "They are our military amulets, just a few bites of food, and it doesn't hurt to share them with them." I only have to survive these two days and arrive in Bingzhou, can I still worry about eating and drinking? It's a trivial matter to hug Meiji every day and eat and drink spicy food! ”

"Your envoy, please lead the way, and this will bring them here!"

Xue Shao sighed secretly, this is really not easy to eat, it is definitely a high-risk technical work!
