Volume 2 Cangyan Black Cloud Chapter 075 The Palace Forbidden is Deep
"Brother Baye is an anxious man." Cui Shuquan still said unhurriedly: "Actually, the little brother couldn't hear what they were saying, and he was as anxious as Brother Baye, and he was anxious, when he suddenly saw the one-eyed man change his face, slapped the table, and shouted, 'How can my black cloud tolerate the Hui people!'" But seeing that the person who looked like a talent grabbed the one-eyed man, several people lowered their voices and muttered, and the younger brother behind him couldn't hear it. ”
"After talking for a long time, it means that he didn't say anything, Lao Tzu already knew that they were Heiyundu!" Bano Gu was very annoyed.
"I'm afraid this is very useful!" Bu Yunfei said.
"What's the use?"
"The group of Hui people who killed people and set fire to Shaanxi County were under the banner of Heiyundu, and we had always thought that Heiyun was their own banner. Now it seems that they have just joined the Black Cloud Capital, and there must still be a group of people known as the Black Cloud Capital! ”
"Not bad!" Chao Yongzhi said: "Those three Han people, that is, the people who pretend to be the eldest brother, are the real Black Cloud Capital!" Moreover, looking at this situation, Zhang Fengqian persuaded the three Han people to recruit this group of Hui mercenaries into Heiyun Capital. It's a pity that Brother Baye killed those three people, and the clue was broken! ”
Bayegu asked: "This is not simple, Brother Chao, you have been in the army for a long time, you must have heard of the banner of Black Cloud Capital in which town has the people." ”
The so-called "Du" is a kind of infantry and cavalry shooting mixed combat unit in the Tang Army, which is between battalions and teams, and is a relatively independent unit, equivalent to the current independent regiment. The scale of the "capital" is generally between 1,000 and 5,000, and it is generally directly under the commander and used for maneuvering. In a town, there are generally three or five "capitals". The troops, known as the "capitals", are the elite of each town, and are led by the commander's henchmen. For example, the most famous "Heavenly Punishment Capital" in Longyou Town, the general is the first fierce general under Ge Shuhan.
The "capital" of each town is the official establishment of the Tang Army, and there is a roster in the Ministry of War, and the envoys of each town cannot set up a "capital" without authorization, otherwise it will be a private army and soldiers, and there is a suspicion of rebellion. Therefore, the establishment of the capital is relatively stable. As long as they have been in the Tang Army, most of them know the name of "Du" in each town. And Chao Yongzhi has been mixed in the Tang Army for more than ten years, and has spent time in several border towns, so he should be very familiar with the "capital" of each town.
Chao Yongzhi shook his head: "Chao Mou has indeed never heard of the name Heiyundu. ”
"Are you sure?" Banoko asked.
Chao Yongzhi frowned: "The world's top ten festival envoys, in fact, only Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, Shuofang, Beiting and other important towns in the northwest have 'capital'. Fanyang Town in An Lushan does not have a 'capital'. These 'capitals' are the elite of each town, and they are all very famous, and everyone in the world knows it, but this black cloud capital is unheard of. ”
"Is it possible to be in the Forbidden Army?" Bu Yunfei asked.
"There is no 'capital' in the forbidden army. All the forbidden armies, nominally speaking, are the elite directly under the emperor, regardless of strength or weakness, so the forbidden army is only divided into two armies in the north and south and six armies before and after. Chao Yongzhi said: "I think, we don't have to guess here, as long as we get to the capital and try to find that Zhang Fengqian, there will be clues!" “
"That's all there is to it!" Bu Yunfei nodded.
"Big brother, I want to find Zhang Fengqian, the younger brother is willing to serve the dogs and horses, damn, he still owes Lao Tzu a beating!" Cui Shuquan said.
"Why, you didn't beat him up that day?" Bu Yunfei asked.
That day, the younger brother was lying behind the wall, thinking about how to clean up the Zhang Fengqian, but when he heard the noise in the front hall, Zhang Fengqian and the three Han people heard the noise, so they got up and left the room. Seeing that he was about to run, the younger brother hurriedly left the firewood room and ran to the front, but saw that it was Li Zhendong who rushed into Wangchun Tower with the group of military men and made noise in the hall. Zhang Fengqian and the three Han people, as well as the two Hui people, were about to go out. The younger brother was about to beckon Li Zhendong to intercept them, but where did he think that Li Zhendong let them go, but tied up the younger brother, and the younger brother had to watch Zhang Fengqian go out of Wangchun Tower, but he was helpless. ”
"Then Li Zhendong accepted your money, why did he help that Zhang Fengqian?" Chao Yongzhi asked.
"It's all the little brother's life." Cui Shuquan sighed: "The imperial court suddenly ordered that the Tianwu Army should immediately leave for Luoyang, and the children of the court officials must all accompany the army without delay, otherwise the military law will be engaged, and the subordinate officials will also be guilty." Li Zhendong was afraid that the little brother had run away, so he was in a hurry, so he rushed into Wangchun Tower with someone to arrest the little brother. As a result, the younger brother was tied into the Tianwu Army by Li Zhendong with a rope, put on a uniform, and hurriedly went on the road, hating that Li Zhendong, he accepted the younger brother's silver in vain, but he did not return. In this way, the younger brother followed the Tianwu Army to Luoyang. The younger brother thinks about it now, but he wants to thank Li Zhendong. ”
"He took your money for nothing, why should you thank him?" Banoko asked.
Cui Shuquan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "At that time, I didn't know that Zhang Fengqian and those three Han people, listening to the three elder brothers say this, now that I think about it, that Zhang Fengqian must have conspired with that group of Hui mercenaries to pretend to be the eldest brother and go to Shaanxi County to kill people and set fires, if the younger brother was fighting with them in Wangchun Tower at that time, these guys would definitely kill people!" Fortunately, Li Zhendong arrived in time and tied up his younger brother. With this, Li Zhendong took his younger brother's five hundred taels of silver, but it was also worth it! ”
Although this Cui Shuquan is a gentleman, it is still clear which is more important.
"That Zhang Fengqian should still be involved in someone in the palace!" Bu Yunfei said.
"Could it be Colliers?" Chao Yongzhi asked: "Ma Sui took Yan Quanying into Beijing to avenge his grievances, Gao Lishi stood by and watched, so far, Ma Sui's whereabouts are unknown, if you can't get it, it is Gao Lishi's poisonous hands!" ”
Bu Yunfei was silent. There is some truth to Chao's argument.
Zhang Fengqian is the internal supervisor of the palace, and he is also hanging with Gao Lishi.
However, Bu Yunfei always felt that something was wrong.
Why did Colliers frame Bu Yunfei? Even if there is an unknown reason, he doesn't need to borrow the hands of the mercenaries to engage in such a big battle, which is equivalent to taking off his pants and farting! As long as he stood by and watched, it was enough to put the clouds flying to death!
What's more, Bu Yunfei really couldn't think of any threat to Gao Lishi.
It was getting late, and the surrounding mountains and forests were pitch black, and the moonlight cast a faint silver light on the mountains and forests.
The road at the foot of the mountain is completely hidden in the night, only sporadic lights walk down the foot of the mountain, from time to time there are several terrible screams, Tongguan soldiers and horses are still around to search for the rout, once captured, all on the spot. Ge Shuhan is extremely fierce and resolute, he will not allow any fish to slip through the net!
"When I arrived in the capital and caught that Zhang Fengqian, everything is not clear!" Banogu said.
Chao Yongzhi shook his head: "He is from Daming Palace, if you want to arrest him, where is it so easy!" ”
Bu Yunfei bowed his head and was silent.
Thinking of the Daming Palace, Bu Yunfei muttered in his heart, the palace ban has always been secretive, and the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty is even more simple and mysterious, a country's contradictions and conflicts, intrigues, all condensed in that side of the palace ban, the profundity of the palace, and the size of the empire is proportional, the more vast the empire, the more intricate the palace ban, and Datang is the world's largest empire!
The world's largest empire must have the most complex heart in the world!
The heart is full of crises and frightening step by step, even if it is a cabinet minister like Yang Guozhong, when he enters the Daming Palace, it is like being on the edge of the abyss, Bu Yunfei is just a small march record, not to mention that he wants to enter the Daming Palace to find someone, even if he is close to the gate of the Daming Palace, he is afraid that he will have to worry about his life!
Bu Yunfei said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!" Let's go to Chang'an first. ”
The four brothers got up and walked northwest by the hazy moonlight.
The choice of the northwest is to avoid the main road to the west, and the checkpoints along the main road must have received the order of Ge Shuhan to intercept the rout, and the pedestrians on the road must be intensified. The four of them can't take the main road, and in the middle of the night, they don't dare to rush into each other, and the surrounding area of Tongguan is full of military camps, and they will crash into the barracks if they don't get it, and they will throw themselves into the barracks.
Before dark, Bu Yunfei had already observed, the northwest direction was steep, the jungle was dense, there was no water source, and it did not meet the requirements of the Lower Camp Law, there should be no camp of the Tang Army there, at most there was only a small patrol camp. Bu Yunfei planned to go to the northwest to find a place to settle down first, away from the main road, and wait for dawn tomorrow morning to look for opportunities.
The four of them stumbled under their feet, walked all the way up the mountain, walked for half an hour, and came to a peak.
This is a commanding height in the west of Tongguan, look around, but see the southeast direction of Tongjin City is brightly lit, outside Tongjin City, scattered large and small dozens of camps, from the scale of view, there should be about 200,000 people and horses.
"Ge Shuhan is so cowardly!" Bu Yunfei frowned.
The Tang army's 200,000 horses and horses retreated to the west of Tongguan, facing off against Cui Qianyou's 80,000 horses across the pass.
Even Bu Yunfei, if he hadn't walked in Tongguan in person, he would have been puzzled by this.
Historians agree that Ge Shuhan is correct in using troops in this way, and an important evidence is that after he held on for three months, he was forced by the emperor's order to take the initiative to attack, and the result was that the whole army was wiped out under Tongguan, which eventually led to the fall of Tongguan.
Historians generally believe that the main force of the Tang army was the Tianwu Army, which was composed of the sons of the market, and its morale was low and it had no combat effectiveness at all, so it was a wise choice for Ge Shuhan to stick to Tongguan and not to confront the rebels.
Before this, Bu Yunfei also thought so, the battle of Tongguan, the historian had already made a conclusion.
However, after walking in Tongguan, Bu Yunfei found that the facts were far from the historical records.
The Tongguan army does not have the problem of poor combat effectiveness at all.
