September 23, before dusk, Yanle City, the capital of Anle County. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Beikou town general, inspection school Anle Taishou Guo Xuan suddenly received an urgent report from the Great Wall garrison, the border mutation, the Xi fortress outside the Great Wall Panlong Fort was suddenly attacked, the critical moment in the fort burst into flames, the Xi garrison army suffered the enemy, Panlong Fort was in danger.

Guo Xuan didn't say a word, and urgently ordered that the Great Wall of Gubeikou immediately enter combat readiness, and then transferred the troops of the three regiments of Yanle Yingyang Mansion to the Great Wall to assist in the defense, and at the same time went to Gubeikou to take command.

Shi Zou Sheng, the mayor of the town general and Taishou Mansion, hurriedly suggested that the situation in Gubeikou had changed abruptly, and 100,000 people should be urgently reported to Zhuo County's left-behind mansion.

"Rest easy." Guo Xuan immediately shook his hand, "The facts are unclear, the situation is unclear, blindly reporting will only cause a panicked impression to the left-behind mansion, and the Holy Lord is still in Linshuo Palace, once the Holy Lord is alarmed, the impact will be very great, and it will not be beautiful for my Gubeikou." ”

Zou Sheng thought about it, if it was just a problem with the Xi people's Panlong Fort, and it did not affect the safety of the Gubeikou town, then the hasty report would be a big fuss and asking for trouble, so it would be better to go to the Great Wall to find out clearly. The two of them immediately joined some of their subordinates, and under the protection of a team of guards, they beat their horses and galloped wildly to the key pass of the Great Wall of Gubeikou, which was more than 20 miles away.

In fact, when the two of them first heard the news, the first thing they thought of was the white-haired thief. It's just that Guo Xuan didn't believe it, he had visited the twelve ladies of the Cui family two days ago and heard this secret.

At that time, the children of the four wealthy families of Cui, Li, Lu, and Liu jointly "forced" Guo Xuan to "make it convenient" for them to get out of the customs, Guo Xuan refused, but he didn't want to offend the four wealthy families too much, so he ran to visit the Twelve Ladies overnight, hoping that the Twelve Ladies could understand his "hardship", and heard an unbelievable secret from the Twelve Ladies. The black hand behind the conspiracy of Song Zixian of Boling to assassinate the Holy Lord was the Turks, and the King of Qi was furious after checking and wanted to take revenge on the Turks, so he took the opportunity to drive the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong out of the fortress to fight, and reached an agreement with them, if the two could use this opportunity to recover Anzhou, he would repay the Holy Lord and exchange the credit for recovering Anzhou for the court's pardon. The reason why the four giants appeared together in Gubeikou is to look forward to the immeasurable benefits brought by this miracle. Guo Xuan didn't say it, but he sneered in his heart, King Qi's purpose was just to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, to drive the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong out of the plug, and he would not expect a group of rebellious rabble to recover Anzhou, and such a ridiculous thing, the four giants actually looked forward to it, it was a big joke in the world.

Guo Xuan didn't believe it, but Zou Sheng was skeptical. Zou Sheng is from the Zou family, one of the five great families in Youzhou, and Lu Junxian found him when he arrived in Yanle, told him this secret, and asked him to help at a critical moment. Zou Sheng also felt that this matter was unreliable at first, but the twelve ladies of the Cui family came, which shows that the mystery behind this matter is too big, and the driving force behind it is the Cui family, the Li family and the Liu family in northern Hebei, and then he got the news from the Jian family, saying that the Jane's giant Jia Jian Bo was also involved in this matter, and it is also said that the desert giant Andriol was also involved, and Andriol's background is powerful, so it is speculated that this matter is really reliable.

So Zou Sheng suggested urgently reporting to the Stay-at-Home Mansion, but Guo Xuan refused without thinking, because the two had completely different attitudes towards this matter, and the difference was too great.

From Yanle City to Gubeikou, all the way is a lofty mountain range, all the way is a winding mountain road, although there are only more than 20 miles, but the mountain is difficult, and the marching speed is limited.

At dusk, Guo Xuan and Zou Sheng, who were halfway through, received an urgent report from Gubeikou again that Panlong Fort had fallen.

The Xi defenders were in a hurry to take care of one thing and lose the other, and as a result, they accidentally opened the door to the spies who mixed into the fort, and then Panlong Fort fell into the hands of the enemy, and after the collapse of the Xi defenders in the fort, they were either killed, surrendered, or fled into the border city to hold the Chinese merchant Jia to resist stubbornly.

Now this news comes from the Xi garrison army who fled into the border city, and its leader Ahui Ale passed a message to the Hindu garrison on the pass of the Great Wall through a Middle-earth merchant, saying that Middle-earth had treacherously sent a large army around the rear of Panlong Fort to launch a sneak attack, which was despicable and shameless. Ahui Al demanded that the Middle-earth army immediately surrender the Panlong Fort, withdraw to the Great Wall, and bear all the losses and compensation caused by it, otherwise he would kill all the Middle-earth merchants in the border city.

The fall of Beaulieu Fort? In a short period of time, the strongest fortress of the Xi people in Yanshan fell into the hands of the enemy? And what is even more incredible is that the enemy turned out to be the Middle-earth army, how is this possible?

Guo Xuan and Zou Sheng were very surprised, the two looked at each other, and they all thought of the white-haired thief.

If there is a Middle-earth team on the Xi side, the only possibility is the rebels led by the white-haired thieves, and they are also fighting the banner of Middle-earth, and even Daxu is exactly the same. The slogan of the white-haired thief's rebellion is "kill the traitor, the Qing monarch's side", not the rebellion of the emperor, but the rebellion of the local government that oppresses the people, so the white-haired thief has not been the king, he even openly played the big Xuan of this dynasty, and the Weifu army who also held high this banner, bloody fighting, so many times the domestic officials, soldiers and people are confused, not to mention the Xi people who know nothing about the white-haired thief and his army.

The recovery of Anzhou is a big event, a great merit, if the white-haired thief succeeds, the people related to it will definitely be able to share this great credit, and Guo Xuan, the general of Gubeikou Town and the Taishou of Anle County, is the first person to bear the brunt, as Guo Xuan's first deputy Shi Zou Sheng, the governor of the two prefectures, is also indispensable. This is a pie-in-the-sky good thing, a low-hanging fruit, no soldiers, no blood, sweat or even old heart, for no reason to get such a great credit, the future career can be described as bright.

The more Zou Sheng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but whisper, "Could it be ...... He did it? ”

Zou Sheng knew that Guo Xuan had learned of this secret, and the children of the four wealthy families had jointly put pressure on him, that is, to force Guo Xuan to visit the twelve ladies, release this secret, and push King Qi to the "front desk".

Taiyuan Guo is a loyal supporter of the emperor, even if the real Marquis Guo Yan is gone, another important figure of Taiyuan Guo Guo's Zuo Houwei General Guo Rong can still support the entire Guo family, and this is the reason why Guo Xuan needs to go faster, higher and farther in the official career The reason why he must do his best to maintain the core position of the Fang Department in the Taiyuan Guo Family, not because his brother Guo Yan died, the power of the Fang Department will also decline. And Guo Xuan, as the younger brother of Guo Yan, the Marquis of Zhending, is also deeply trusted by the Holy Lord, although his current status is low and he is far away from the center, as long as he is given a chance and gives him credit, it is definitely not a problem to be promoted to the rank of knight, and it is even possible to soar to the sky.

As long as the two sides can reach a compromise on future interests, then Guo Xuan can not only help Li Fengyun and Li Zixiong recover Anzhou, but also help King Qi ease the tension with the Holy Lord, and help King Qi gain a foothold and hair in Yanbei.

As soon as Guo Xuan heard that this secret was related to King Qi, he immediately knew that the four giants had dug a "big hole" for him. This matter involves the battle for the imperial system, and once it is trapped, there may be no bones left, so Guo Xuan will not jump into this pit no matter what, until he is not impressed enough to impress his interests.

However, if the white-haired thief succeeded and Anzhou recovered, this benefit would be enough to impress him, so when he heard Zou Sheng's pun in his words, he immediately looked up at the other party and asked quietly, "What's the reason?" ”

Zou Sheng thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I heard that he arrived in Huaihuang on the first day of the ninth month. ”

Guo Xuan understood. Huaihuang to the flat pine forest about more than 1,000 miles, the flat pine forest to the Gubeikou about 800 miles, the white-haired thief to Huaihuang in the first day of September, if everything goes well, pass the pass, galloping, travel 100 miles a day, today can indeed reach Panlong Fort, but, there are Turkic people on both sides of the lightning river, there are Xi people in Anzhou, they must be surrounded and intercepted, even if the white-haired thieves are invincible, attack everything, but it takes time to cross the mountains and rivers, it takes time to fight, and the soldiers need time to rest, There is no way that the white-haired thief will be able to rush from Huai Huang to Beaulong Fort in such a short period of time, unless there is a miracle.

"In such a short period of time?" Guo Xuan frowned and shook his head, "It's simply impossible. ”

"I think it's likely." Zou Sheng said, "I also heard that the king of Qi went out to patrol the border on the seventh day of the ninth month, and then went north to the desert to suppress thieves, and he has not returned yet." In addition, I heard that Xi Wang Ahui was stubbornly resisted by the Khitans in Luoma City, and it was difficult to advance an inch, so that it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he was in a dilemma, and he has not returned from the expedition so far. ”

Guo Xuan knew the news that the King of Qi went out to patrol the border, but he didn't know that the King of Qi went north to the desert to suppress the thieves. If this news is true, the king of Qi went north to the desert obviously to attract and contain the Turks on both sides of the Lightning River, and then help the white-haired thieves break through the Turkic blockade, kill into the flat pine forest, and quietly appear "behind" the Xi people. It just so happened that Ah Hui was on an expedition with five large armies, and the white-haired thief's blow in the back was very fatal, enough to catch the Xi army left behind by surprise, and such a miracle was born.

Guo Xuan's expression suddenly became solemn, "Are you sure that the King of Qi went north to the desert to suppress thieves?" ”

King Qi's move will cause endless troubles, if the Holy Lord agrees, it is better to say, if he attacks without authorization, the responsibility will be great, unless the white-haired thief successfully takes Anzhou, otherwise King Qi will be "dead". From another point of view, the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong have no way out, and they must achieve their goals at all costs, otherwise they will also die.

Zou Sheng nodded solemnly, "Certain." ”

Just as the two of them were analyzing and speculating on the current situation, a dense sound of horses' hooves came rapidly from far and near, and soon appeared on the mountain road below, falling into the sight of Guo Xuan and Zou Sheng.

"The one from the Cui family is here." Guo Xuan said expressionlessly, "The news is so well-informed. ”

Zou Sheng glanced at him, his eyes fell on the urgent report, and smiled meaningfully.
