Xu Shanming was originally the head of the Ministry of War, and when he joined the Luoyang Intelligence Agency, he received the full support of Lu Ping, and last year he opened up Wang Shiyun's joints, and he was exceptionally promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of War, in charge of various dangerous passes, and it was under his arrangement that Wei Wentong's people were able to open a small shop in the Tiger Prison Pass, so as to find out the details of the Tiger Prison Pass.

After Lu Ping got Cen Wenwen's entrustment, he immediately set up a private room in the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, sent someone to send a letter to Xu Shanming, and at noon, Xu Shanming rushed to the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant.

"This is Mr. Cen, the Qi Wangfu Sacrificial Wine!"

Lu Ping first introduced Cen Wenwen to Xu Shanming, and Xu Shanming hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Lord Sacrificial Wine for your humble duties!" ”

Cen Wenwen saw that Xu Shanming was quite gentle and elegant, and he seemed a little restrained, and he suddenly had a good impression of him in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Xu Yuanjun doesn't have to be polite, we are all working for His Royal Highness King Qi, and we are all colleagues." ”

"Mr. Cen is too polite, Xu Yuanjun, sit together!"

Lu Ping was the east today, and warmly invited the two to sit down, and he smiled at Xu Shanming and asked, "There has been no news of the envoy for several days, have you been busy lately?" ”

Xu Shanming shook his head, "Presumably the military has also heard about it, Wang Shichong took away all the military power and handed it over to his brothers and nephews, everyone is in charge of their own piece, and nothing will go through the military department anymore, our military department has actually existed in name only." ”

"What are the military officials doing now?" Cen Wenwen next to him asked curiously.

"Everyone has their own things, some drink tea and chat, have nothing to do, some people find a way to transfer to other departments, and some people want to enter the palaces as private staff, mainly because the treatment of the palace is far more than that of the military department, Wang Shichong's brothers and nephews are still relatively generous in this regard, and they are willing to spend money on the staff."

Lu Ping and Cen Wenwen glanced at each other, and Lu Ping said slowly: "I invited Xu Yuanjun to come today, just to discuss with the envoy, we hope that Xu Zhijun can serve under Wang Shiyun, and it is best to be responsible for the daily scheduling of the army, what does Xu Yuanjun think?" ”

"Of course I have no problem, everyone in the military department knows that I am Wang Shiyun's person, and it is completely logical for me to go to Zhao Wangfu to serve, and today I ...... Wang Shiyun also looked for me. ”

Lu Ping was stunned, "What is he looking for you to do?" ”

"He asked for detailed information about Luoyang Nancheng, which happened to be my responsibility, but he complained about the lack of manpower, the number of people who ate dry food, and the lack of people like me who could do things, which seemed to give me a hint."

"And how do you answer?"

"I didn't answer anything, but I'm going to send him the information tomorrow, and I'll answer at that time, since the general wants me to go to Wang Shiyun, I can agree, as for how he arranges for me, I really don't know."

"You don't have to worry about this, I will find a way to arrange for you to be assigned to the position of dispatching troops, but there is one thing I need to tell you, Yun Shitai and his army are our people, you need to take special care of them."

Xu Shanming nodded silently, he knew in his heart that Wang Shichong's time would not be too long.

..........

Wuguan is located in the south of Shangluo County on the north bank of the Dongwu Pass River, north by Shaoxi Mountain, south of the danger, hold the mouth of the canyon that must pass through the north into Shangluo County, it is a pass of great strategic significance, it and Hangu Pass, Xiao Pass, Dasan Pass and called "Qin's four stops", it is the dangerous pass that must be passed through from Jingzhou land route into Guanzhong.

When passing through Wuguan and continuing north to reach Guanzhong, there is still the last pass, Lantian Pass, and only after capturing Lantian Pass can you enter Guanzhong.

However, the safety of Guanzhong, the capital of the emperor, cannot be pinned on just a Lantian Pass, so as an outpost pass in the south, the importance of Wuguan is self-evident.

Although the strategic position of Wuguan is extremely important, but there is no county seat around Wuguan, the nearest Shangluo County is also two hundred miles away, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, inaccessible, the Tang Dynasty has been stationed here for a long time with five hundred soldiers, but now it is a war period, the garrison of Wuguan has increased to two thousand people, which is the extreme number of people that Wuguan can bear, but the terrain of Wuguan is dangerous, with these two thousand soldiers can also block the attack of 20,000 enemy troops.

Wuguan is limited by the terrain, the circumference of the Guancheng is only three miles, it is a very small military city, behind it is a canyon passage that is more than 20 miles long, the Danshui flowing from Xiyang County in the south flows fifty miles in front of the Guancheng, a small tributary of the Danshui Dongwuguan River flows through in front of the pass, the water flow is very turbulent, so that it becomes a natural barrier of Wuguan.

At noon on this day, a team composed of more than 300 ox carts slowly came in the direction of Wuguan, there were hundreds of Tang cavalry guards on both sides, each ox cart was full of large wooden boxes, it looked quite heavy, the ox cart first had to pass through the wooden bridge on the Dongwuguan River, there were more than a dozen soldiers standing at the north bridgehead, and the first brigade commander shouted: "Stop!" ”

The wooden bridge is narrow, and the ox carts can only pass in turn, and the first ox cart slowly stopped, and the cavalry general at the head shouted: "By the order of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, escort the private belongings back to Chang'an, you can't stop them!" ”

The brigade commander bowed and saluted, "The humble position is just to do things according to the rules, please show the general the customs clearance document!" ”

Lang will take out a gold medal, "We have this!" ”

The brigade commander was suddenly taken aback, it turned out to be the gold medal of the King of Qin, they had only seen it once when the King of Qin was transiting, and now it actually appeared in the hands of this Lang general, the brigade commander did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly laughed and said: "If it is peacetime, the humble position must let the general pass, but now is the war period, the customs clearance procedures are extremely strict, and all of them are indispensable, especially His Royal Highness the King of Qin has a strict order, no exceptions, and the humble position does not dare to violate the rules, in addition to the gold medal, can there be customs clearance?" ”

Lang Jiang snorted, "A bunch of dead brains!" ”

He turned back and ordered, "Give it to them!" ”

A soldier stepped forward and handed a copy of the document to the brigade commander, who opened it, and it was a customs clearance document signed by Li Zhongwen, the commander of the rear army, and there was a military seal on the back, so there was no problem at all.

The brigade commander returned the text to General Lang and said respectfully: "No problem, please go on the road!" ”

He turned around and ran towards Wuguan, and Xiao Yuansi, the chief general guarding Wuguan, also heard the news and came to the city tower.

When he saw that the brigade commander had verified the customs clearance, he asked in a loud voice, "Who is it?" ”

"General Qiyu is a person from His Royal Highness the King of Qin, with the gold medal of the King of Qin, and the customs clearance document issued by General Li of the Houjun, and the procedures are complete."

"What are you shipping?"

"Yes.... His Royal Highness the King of Qin's personal belongings. ”

"Have you tested it?"

The brigade commander was suddenly stunned, according to the rules, the items must be inspected to pass the customs, but because there is a gold medal of King Qin, and it is the personal belongings of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he does not dare to inspect the items.

After hesitating for a while, the brigade commander said: "There is a seal on it, don't dare to be humble!" ”

"Useless things, let their lord come up, and I will speak to him."

The brigade commander ran back to General Lang and said, "My general has a few words to ask, please move forward." ”

General Lang snorted, urged the horse to step forward slowly, and he said coldly: "If you have anything to say, please ask!" ”

Xiao Yuanji saw that this person was tall and burly, with an extraordinary bearing, and his tone of voice was firm and majestic, although his military position was only a general, one level lower than himself, he didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he asked with a smile: "May I ask the general's name, where does he serve?" ”

This Lang general is none other than Liu Lancheng, the chief general of the Northern Sui Internal Guard Army, who pretended to be the Tang Army to defraud Wuguan, and because he caught Li Zhongwen, he got the pattern of Li Shimin's gold medal.

At this time, the news of the destruction of the logistics battalion in Danshui County had not yet reached Wuguan, which gave Liu Lancheng the opportunity to defraud Wuguan.

He looked very impatient, but the other party's military rank was one level higher than his own, and he had to answer, so he said: "Under Liu Jun, the general of the third battalion of the Xuanwu Army." ”

The name is true, and the military position is also true, but this Liu Jun is not Liu Jun, Liu Lancheng took out the military card and handed it to the brigade commander next to him, although the brigade commander was illiterate, but he knew the military card, he held it over and looked at it, and then reported loudly: "General, it is the general card of Xuanwu Junlang, and the humble position is confirmed!" ”

Xiao Yuansi no longer doubted the identity of the other party, his eyes fell on the big box on the ox cart, what was this, he was a little curious in his heart, and the regulations must also be checked.

He laughed dryly and said: "Since it is a subordinate of His Royal Highness King Qin, the general should know that His Royal Highness King Qin has a strict order, and any military items entering the customs must be inspected, we dare not break the rules, please forgive the general!" ”

"You mean you're going to open the box and inspect it?"

"That's exactly what we mean, we are also acting according to the rules, please understand General Liu."

"What a rule!"

Liu Lancheng did not budge, he pointed to the seal on the box and said coldly: "The things in these boxes are the personal belongings of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, not any military assets, there is a seal of the seal of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, does the general want to tear off the seal personally sealed by His Royal Highness the King of Qin for inspection?" It seems that in the eyes of the general, he only recognizes His Royal Highness King Yongkang, and His Royal Highness King Qin is nothing, is that so? ”

Liu Lancheng asked step by step in an aggressive tone, and Xiao Yuanhe's forehead was already sweating. (To be continued.) )
