Guo Ziyi did things very simply, and when he heard that he was in a hurry, he didn't ask much, so he immediately ordered someone to prepare, Wang Yuan had just finished drinking a cup of tea, and everything was ready.

At that moment, the three of them went out of the government and got on their horses, surrounded by Guo Ziyi's twenty personal guard cavalry, and went out of the Tiancheng Army town, got on the official road, and galloped all the way to the southwest. On the way, Wang Yuan deliberately paid attention to the traces of the Tan family's brothers and sisters, but he didn't see the two of them, presumably because the delay was very short, and the brothers and sisters were still detouring on the fork in the road and had not yet returned to the official road.

After having horses, the speed of the road was very fast, and two hours later they arrived at the second military town in the northwest of Yunzhou, Qingsai Military Town. Huang Feixiong, the envoy of the Qing Army, briefly listened to Guo Ziyi's narration and hurriedly let Wang Yuan go, and continued to run wild through the Qing Sai Military Town unimpeded, and finally saw the majestic figure of Yunzhou City in the sunset before dark.

Yunzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of the Hedong Jiedu Envoy, and Tianbao was initially assigned to the Shuofang Jiedu Envoy. Shuofang Jiedu made the area under its jurisdiction biased towards the confluence of Hedong and Hexi provinces, and shouldered the great responsibility of defending against the southern invasion of the Turks. In recent years, the trend of Turkic soldiers and horses causing nuisance from Hedong Road has been very obvious, so after Wang Zhongsi took over as the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, he spent most of his time in Yunzhou City. And Lingzhou, which was originally used as the seat of the Shuo Fang Festival, has become a decoration, although Yunzhou has no name for governance, but it has the reality of governance.

Although Wang Yuan, the person Wang Zhonghei, had never really communicated with him, his name had already been heard of when Wang Yuan had not yet made his mark. In the Shangyuan Night case at the beginning of the year, Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming died unexpectedly, almost implicating the crown prince Li Heng. After the death of Emperor Fu Weiming, his position as the envoy of the two festivals of Longyou and Hexi was taken over by Wang Zhonghe. Before taking over these two festivals, Wang Zhongsi was actually already the envoy of Shuofang and Hedong.

After taking over the position of Huangfu Weiming, although Wang Zhongsi only led the two Jiedu envoys of Hexi Longyou, he was nominally the only four-way Jiedu envoy in the Tang Dynasty, with a total of more than 250,000 soldiers and horses, which can be said to be the first person in the border town of the Tang Dynasty, and even An Lushan was beyond reach.

However, this is obviously impossible, even if Xuanzong is relieved, it is absolutely impossible for Li Linfu to let Wang Zhonghe, who is already clearly a princeling, command so many soldiers and horses. Although in the competition for the successor of Huangfu Weiming, in the end, Wang Zhonghei succeeded. However, Li Linfu still succeeded in persuading Xuanzong to let Wang Zhongsi only hang the name of a Jiedu envoy, and in fact, the rights of the military power dispatch of the two sections of Hexi Longyou were handed over to the deputy envoy of Jiedu and the two soldiers and horses under the joint jurisdiction, and did not give Wang Zhongsi the power to directly control the two nearly 140,000 soldiers and horses.

Xuanzong let Wang Zhongsi serve as the nominal envoy of the two sections of Hexi Longyou to appease the crown prince Li Heng, and the actual control of the soldiers and horses could not be handed over to Wang Zhonghe, Li Linfu's suggestion actually touched Xuanzong's psychology, and Xuanzong was just using Li Linfu's mouth to fulfill his wish.

Because of this, the focus of all Wang Zhonghe's work is still in Hedong Road, Hedong and Shuofang are his own territory, and Hexi and Longyou are just names.

The group entered Yunzhou City at night, Wang Zhongsi was very surprised after receiving the report, Wang Yuan he knew, and also knew that he had recently served as the envoy of Hebei Province, but for some reason suddenly came to Yunzhou City. Although he doesn't know much about Wang Yuan, he knows that this person is not in the same stream as Li Linfu, and based on this alone, Wang Zhongsi is not too repulsive to him.

Wang Zhongsi met Wang Yuan in the back hall of the Yunzhou Mansion, Wang Zhongsi in a black robe looked like an ordinary coolie on the street, with a medium stature, his appearance was not good, and he belonged to the kind that would forget his appearance after meeting him. If you don't know his identity, you don't know that he is the only person in Datang who holds the position of the envoy of the four festivals.

After the two sides saw the ceremony, Wang Zhonghe's eyes looked Wang Yuan up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Qin, aren't you newly appointed as the deposed envoy of Hebei Province?" I heard that I have arrived in Fanyang on business, why did I suddenly appear in my Yunzhou? And what about your chauffeur? How did you become like this? ”

Wang Yuan knew that he was covered in mud and stains, his body was dirty, and he was out of shape, but he was running all the way, and he didn't even have much time to sleep, so where did he care about this.

"Wang Dashuai, can I talk to you in detail alone." Wang Yuan said quietly.

Wang Zhongsi was stunned, but he still waved his hand to retreat from everyone, Wang Yuan pondered for a moment, and quickly told Wang Zhongsi what he had experienced selectively. omitted the fact that he found out that An Lushan colluded with the Xi people to provide weapons, armor, and war horses. also omitted the situation that Fan Yangjie's soldiers and horses intercepted and chased him all the way. Because Wang Yuan didn't know much about Wang Zhonghe, he couldn't rashly inform Wang Zhongsi of these secret things, just in case.

Wang Zhongsi was very surprised after listening to Wang Yuan's narration, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, you encountered an ambush of three thousand Xi soldiers in the Jiming Mountain Canyon, and then you repelled them?" With 800 soldiers and horses? ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"Then on the west bank of the Yanghe River, he encountered again, and with 700 soldiers and horses, he shook 2,000 Xi cavalry, and almost completely annihilated the opponent?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Zhongsi smashed his mouth and shook his head constantly, obviously thinking that Wang Yuan was bragging, this is something that will never happen, judging from Wang Zhongsi's many years of experience in leading troops to fight, this matter is simply a fool's dream.

Wang Yuan didn't want to explain more, but said: "After the first battle of Yanghe, my more than 700 soldiers and horses only had 300 remnants left, and they had almost no strength to fight. We can't turn back, we can only go west, hoping to reach the territory of Yunzhou. But because of the loss of horses and the precarious grain and grass, I could only come to Yunzhou to rescue the soldiers in person. That's why I suddenly appeared in Yunzhou. I hope that General Wang will immediately send troops to rescue my 300 men. ”

Wang Zhongsi looked at Wang Yuan quietly and said, "You came to beg me to send troops to save your men?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I implore General Wang to help me." ”

Wang Zhongsi was silent for a moment, looked at Wang Yuan with cold eyes, and said, "Wang Qinzhi, I don't know how to evaluate your words, because it is obvious that you are lying. Regardless of whether it is true that you can still defeat them if your 800 soldiers and horses were bitten by 3,000 Xi cavalry. Even if it is true, the whereabouts of your 300 remnants are extremely suspicious, do you take my Wang Zhonghei for a fool? ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "What does General Wang mean?" ”

Wang Zhongsi smiled and said, "What do you mean? Wang is also a person who leads troops to fight, and I can see through some things at a glance. Let me ask you, you said that your 300 remnants of the army are going to the direction of Yunzhou, so why? You have annihilated the enemy in the battle of Yanghe, according to what you said, the remnants of the Xi people have fled, and your 300 soldiers and horses do not have to cross the Yanghe, but only need to go south to Yongxing to get rescue, or go northwest along the Yanghe, a hundred miles away is Wende County. With Fan Yang's soldiers and horses stationed in both places, wouldn't they be able to get shelter? Why did you cross the river to my Yunzhou? ”

Wang Yuan frowned and was silent.

Wang Zhongsi sneered: "There is nothing to say, even if you cross the Yanghe River, you can go directly to Huai'an County, but you can also get help in three or four days." And what you just said is that your 300 remnants of your army went to the northwest and went to the outside of the Boulder Pass. In my Wang Zhongsi's opinion, this route is actually deliberately avoiding the scope of the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Huai'an County. What is the place outside the Boulder Pass? That is the junction of the Xi people, the Tibetan people, and my Tang Dynasty, can you tell me why? ”

Wang Yuan shook his head slowly and said, "I can't explain to you why I did this." ”

Wang Zhongsi smiled and said, "You don't explain, I have an explanation for you here." If you do encounter the siege of the Xi soldiers, the only possibility is that you will be defeated and you will be captured by them. You are greedy for life and afraid of death, you became their spy, deliberately came to Yunzhou to move some rescuers, and then deceived my Yunzhou soldiers and horses outside the boulder pass and fell into the encirclement of others. What benefits did they promise you to make you plan for them like this? Say! ”

Wang Zhongsi's face turned cold, and he asked sharply.

Wang Yuan really couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect Wang Zhongsi to think so much and think about himself so badly, this was really unexpected. I just can't say that An Lushan has colluded with the Xi people, but he has caused such a big misunderstanding, which is really angry and funny.

"I can't justify myself, Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan, although you and I don't have any contact, I have heard some things about you from the words of others, and I have a good impression of you. But I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Losing the solar terms of my Tang people is the greatest shame. Don't blame me, since you sent you to the door, I can only take you to the capital and hand it over to Your Majesty for punishment. Someone. ”

Wang Zhongsi broke off, the guard outside the door pushed the door in, and a personal guard arched his hand and said, "The marshal commands." ”

Wang Zhongsi said coldly: "Take down this renegade spy, put him in shackles and take strict care, and escort him to Beijing tomorrow." ”

Guo Ziyi, who was standing outside the door, was shocked and didn't know what was going on. Several guards rushed up to take Wang Yuan, and suddenly heard a coquettish sound, and a figure rushed into the hall to protect Wang Yuan.

"Who dare!" Gongsun Lan snorted coldly.

"Hehehe, if you want to resist, that's better, just kill it directly, save the effort." Wang Zhongsi waved his hand, and the guards rushed forward with their swords out of their sheaths, and Gongsun Lan drew his sword out of the sheath and was about to make a move, when he heard Wang Yuan shouting: "Don't do it." ”

Gongsun Lan was stunned, Wang Yuan gently patted her back and walked out slowly, and said in a deep voice: "General Wang, let me say a word, if you still insist on your opinion after listening, I will be arrested." ”
