Yan Quanming came and went, and it only took three days. In the past three days, Yan Gaoqing has sent messengers to spread the text all over Hebei, and for a time, there are many states and counties that have responded in groups. However, when many Taishou and county commanders sent envoys to contact, as soon as they heard that Yan Quanming had returned, Yan Gaoqing immediately asked Yuan Luqian to meet these people instead of him, and he hurried to the study.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yan Quanming pacing back and forth, his clothes full of wind and dust had no time to change, and he even clapped his hands and muttered a few words from time to time, but he didn't notice his arrival at all. So, he had to cough heavily. This cough suddenly woke Yan Quanming, and when he looked back and saw that it was his father, Yan Quanming immediately rushed forward in three steps and two steps.

"Grandpa, terrible news!"

It is terrible news, not terrible good news, this difference in words made Yan Gaoqing's heart tense when he heard it. He had always been extremely strict with his sons and nephews, and immediately asked in annoyance, "What's going on?" Don't sell it, tell me the truth! ”

"I can't tell for a while...... In this way, Grandpa, I brought someone back for you, you go to A-Niang to meet someone first. Yan Quanming saw Yan Gaoqing's face with a different color, as if he was not satisfied with why he wanted to take someone to see his mother, but at this time, he really wanted to sell Guanzi to make his father happy and happy, so he could only say half forced, half pleading, "Grandpa, I am your son, is it possible that I will hurt you?" Of course, I had unspeakable hardships, so I took someone to see A-Niang. If you really want to know what happened, you'll know when you get to A-Niang's dormitory! ”

Yan Gaoqing was already full of questions, and after thinking about it, he could only ignore Yan Quanming's tricks, and immediately reluctantly agreed. However, when he entered his wife Cui's bedroom, he saw Cui sitting there with a middle-aged woman. Although the woman was just dressed in an ordinary dress, and her face was not powdered, she could still see the beautiful demeanor of her youth. When she looked at him, he couldn't help but feel that this woman was not idle.

"Madam, this guest is ......"

Faced with Yan Gaoqing's question, Cui Shi glared at Yan Quanming with some annoyance, and then walked quickly in front of her husband, lowered her voice and said: "I don't know who it is, as soon as Quanming comes back, he can't help but say that he will take people to me, and he must be treated well, and he must not leak the news, and the person will leave." I accompanied her for a long time, but I only knew that it should be Jingzhaoren's family, with a noble bearing, and the identity should be extraordinary, and I didn't know anything else. Quan Ming, this kid doesn't know what to sell! ”

Under his father's forced gaze and his mother's reproachful eyes, Yan Quan flashed behind the middle-aged woman early in the morning, and then said in a courteous tone: "Auntie, you must explain it to me, I really didn't mean to sell Guanzi." ”

Yan Quanming's aunt is called Yan Gaoqing and his wife Cui, all of whom are inexplicable. There are many Yan brothers, but their wives Yan Gaoqing and Cui have undoubtedly seen each other, and they will not be unrecognizable no matter what. Could it be that the one who came was from the plain Taishou Yan Zhenqing...... No, the concubine will not have such a temperament, and Yan Zhenqing's wife and her husband have seen it!

"Humble husband Anbei Metropolitan Protector Du Shiyi." Wang Rongqing knew that such a self-introduction was enough, and seeing that Yan Gaoqing and Cui's were all taken aback, she continued, "The reason why Dubo Huaiyi Khan invaded Mobei west before was because he was instigated and instigated by An Lushan, and An Lushan rebelled this time, and he also asked him to join forces to send troops to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, after the soldiers and horses of the right wing of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate Li Guangbi repelled the Huangjia and the Hui coalition army, and captured the rebellion of the Huangjiasi Vigatun, the soldiers and horses made the servant Gu Huaien go straight to the old nest of the Huangjia and set up a new lord, and the clumsy man personally went to see Huaiyi Khan, saying that he would send troops to jointly fight against the rebellion. Now Huaiyi Khan went straight to the land of the Khitan and Xi people who were attached to the Anlu Mountain, and Zhang Changshi led the army from the military capital to Yanzhou, and the soldiers pointed to Youzhou, as for the 4,000 soldiers and horses who entered Hebei Province from Feihu Cheng, they were led by Fugu Huaien's son Fugu Ling. ”

Yan Gaoqing is still the first time to see Du Shiyi's wife today, but Wang Rong said such a thing straight to the point, and the Mobei shape that had been confusing before was finally completely clear, and he heard that there were 20,000 soldiers and horses entering Hebei on these two roads, and he was immediately overjoyed, and then one was happy and the other was worried. After a moment of silence, he arched his hand sincerely and said, "Dare to ask Madame, Madame, as a woman, actually went south with the army, I don't know where Du Dashuai is now?" ”

Not only Yan Gaoqing, this is also a fact that Cui Shi wants to know. Du Shiyi's wife is in the army, but what about him?

"The humble husband personally led the 20,000 troops of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, went to Shuofang Lingzhou to see Guo Dashuai, and urged him to send troops to aid Guanzhong."

Yan Gaoqing was relieved. But what Wang Rong said next immediately made him unhappy.

However, the news from Shuo Fang claimed that Yang Guozhong, in the name of His Majesty, issued military orders in succession, ordering Shuo Fang's soldiers and horses to guard Mobei and not to use troops and horses without permission. And after Zhang Changshi arrived in Yunzhou with 20,000 soldiers and horses this time, he thought that Mobei had been stabilized, and Yunzhou Daizhou and other soldiers and horses could leave a part of the troops to garrison the local area, and they could divide thousands or even 10,000 troops. At this time, we will first determine Hebei, and then talk about others. ”

Knowing that Mobei's army had received such treatment in Hedong Province, Yan Gaoqing was immediately dumbfounded. If you want to say that Hedong Jiedu makes Wang Chengye wrong, people can also argue that it is cautious; But such caution has suddenly become short-sighted and stupid in the precarious situation of Henan and Dugi Province now! He had previously surrendered to An Lushan, and secretly sent people to connect the loyal Taishou and county orders in the center of Hebei prefectures and counties, and before that, he had asked people to take a convenient road to contact Wang Chengye, the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, but Wang Chengye promised a bunch of things, and there was no substantive support, such a Hedong Jiedu envoy was really speechless!

"It's hard for Madame."

Yan Gaoqing held back such a sentence for a long time, feeling that such five words could not express the gratitude in his heart, and he added, "If Hebei can be recovered, all the officials and people will be grateful for this immortal virtue!" ”

Not only Yan Gaoqing, but when Yuan Luqian came in a hurry, after learning such good news, he was not overjoyed, and a big man was in tears.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to the reinforcements of the imperial court!

In the past, Daizhou Pei's family was just a small branch of the Pei family in Hedong, and he was in charge of Daizhou affairs, and in the past 20 years, he has not only produced countless Ming classics and firsts, but also produced three quite expensive Jinshi, and finally took off the hat that had been weak for a long time in one fell swoop, and he has always felt deeply favored by Du Shiyi. Therefore, it was accompanied by the head of the Pei family in Daizhou that Wang Rongfang got the approval of Wu Qian, the governor of Daizhou, and sent an envoy to follow her to Ulzhou, opening up the key passage of Flying Fox.

She knew that she was a woman, and the most important task of the trip had been completed, but that night, when Mrs. Cui, Yan Gaoqing's wife, was giving her a banquet, she shook her head when Mrs. Cui invited her to stay in Changshan Taishou Mansion.

"Mrs. Jin Guo traveled with the army all the way, not afraid of hard work, even if it was not as good as men, but then I was afraid that Hebei would fight a big battle, and then I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to follow the army."

Seeing Mrs. Cui's sincere face, Wang Rong knew that the other party would be wrong, so he immediately smiled apologetically: "Mrs. Cui's kindness, I naturally understand it." Next, Hebei will be the battlefield of the stormy meeting, and I am a woman, if I don't measure my strength, I still don't know how to retreat, in case of an enemy, but let the generals and soldiers in the army add to the constraints. It's not that I'm picky, Changshan County is at the intersection of the two post roads in the north, south, east and west, and it is a place where soldiers must fight, so I stayed here, but let Yan Zhijun be distracted. Now that Mobei is stable, Yunzhou is the safest place, so I will return to Yunzhou in the near future. ”

Hearing that Wang Rong was about to leave immediately, Yan Gaoqing was relieved, as the first person to raise the banner of righteousness in Hebei Province, he was very busy, and Yuan Luqian was even busier, and he really couldn't take care of Wang Rong. Changshan County, as the main artery of the land route, was originally very important for the grain supply in Youzhou. Previously, the An Lushan rebels went south, because they would loot the grain depots of the prefectures and counties along the way, but instead of supplying food and wages from the rear, they could feed back a lot of materials back to Youzhou, which had to pass through Changshan County, so the materials accumulated here were very abundant. What he had to do was to stock up on supplies as much as he could, and at the same time recruit regiments for training.

In Wang Rong's words when he left, as long as he can hold Changshan, he will be victorious!

And the good news here in Changshan County, Yan Gaoqing did not forget to order his nephew Lu Yi to go to Dezhou Plains County to tell his younger brother Yan Zhenqing.

In Plains County, Texas, I heard the news that the rebels were overwhelmed, and Yan Zhenqing, who was too guarded by Plains, was not idle. What he saw and heard in Hebei Province was completely different from that of the monarchs and ministers of the court, and he was not like Yan Gaoqing, who had received the grace of An Lushan's recommendation, but more just advised An Lushan, and he repeatedly sent back to the court to send An Lushan's recitals and letters, but some were suppressed, and some were sent back directly by people who were good friends with the Yan family. In the words of the people of Chang'an in private, Li Longji has been obsessed with thinking that An Lushan is the most outstanding person in the world, what else is there to say?

Moreover, as Du Shiyi's junior brother, seeing that the Son of Heaven had such an indifferent attitude towards the chaos caused by Luo Xixiao, Yan Zhenqing not only felt cold, but also made his own plans early. He socialized with literati and writers on the surface, sang poems and sang harmoniously, making people think that he was a typical scribe, but secretly he raised the city wall, hoarded grain and grass, and recruited warriors. In addition to An Lushan's initial contempt for him, there is also the reason that Texas is located in the east by the sea and is not on the route of the main rebel army's southward march.

But even so, this is an extremely remarkable achievement. Therefore, officials in the prefectures and counties of Hebei Province who were unwilling to rely on An Lushan came to vote one after another, and a considerable team was formed around him.

Since last year, Yan Zhenqing has been going to Pingzhou to do business from Dezhou via Dizhou, and has done everything possible to inquire about the situation in Pinglu. After being replaced by Gao Xianzhi, Meng Lingcha, the envoy of the Western Jiedu of that year, stayed idle in the court for a while and then transferred to the deputy capital protector of Andong, and was not An Lushan's henchman. Therefore, his original plan was to befriend this person, but who knew that after An Lushan raised an army, he instructed Lu Zhizhi to trap and kill Fumeng Lingcha. When he received the news from the Courier, he was disappointed that he had spent a lot of effort on Fumon Lingcha, but who knew that the Courier had taken another letter out of his pocket.

"But envoy, this trip to Pinglu is not without gains. This is a letter from Hou Xiyi, the envoy of Pinglu soldiers and horses. ”

Yan Zhenqing is not familiar with the name Hou Xiyi, seeing that the other party on the letter has followed Du Shiyi to escort Princess Gu'an back to King Xi's tooth tent, and it is Du Shiyi's old ministry when he was in Yunzhou, he believed this person for three points, and then saw that the person said in the letter that he would unite with the generals of the Pinglu Jiedu Embassy to expel Lu Zhizhi and restore Pinglu, he just believed in seven points. Even if he still had three points of suspicion, in the current situation, he didn't care about it at all. In particular, the other party also pointed out in the letter what opportunities Jia Xun, who was appointed by An Lushan as the envoy of Fan Yang Jiedu, could take advantage of, and he decided to give it a try without thinking about it.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Yan Zhenqing ordered someone to invite Jia Zai. Jia Zai was originally the county governor of Nanhe County, Julu County, Xingzhou, but because Julu County was on the post road where the rebels were heading south, it fell into the hands of An Lushan early. At this moment, he was standing in front of Yan Zhenqing, who was originally a subordinate of the county party, and he still had some indescribable restraints, but when Yan Zhenqing directly showed him the secret letter from Pinglu, he was surprised at first, and after reading it, he suddenly felt panicked and excited.

What confidential news! Yan Zhenqing was willing to sue him!

"I need you to go to Pinglu." After Yan Zhenqing started with this sentence, he thought for a while and said, "I've been listening to the situation over there, but I didn't expect such a change!" Hou Xiyi did not put forward any requests for money and food in the letter, but only said that he needed a name. Since this is the case, it means that he is sure enough. It is thought that An Lushan started in Pinglu at the beginning, and he swore in Yuyang in person, which must not be underestimated. After you go to Pinglu on my behalf this time, you bring my young son Yan Po with you, remember to tell Hou Xiyiming that as long as he can take Yuyang, the rebels will immediately lose their ground, and at that time, I, Yan Zhenqing, will call on all states and counties in Hebei Province to respond, and the first credit will be his! ”
