readx; Due to the large northward march of the Geshuhan army and the Gao Xianzhi army, it brought a serious crisis to Chang'an, in order to solve the crisis, Li Qingan and Li Heng temporarily abandoned their previous suspicions, Li Qingan resigned from the position of the right minister of the Zhongshu Order, and was reappointed as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and was fully responsible for the attack on the army of the northern invaders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He ordered Guo Ziyi to lead 50,000 troops to intercept Gao Xianzhi's army, and in view of Guo Ziyi's small troops, he ordered Wang Sili, the commander of the Guanzhong army, to lead 100,000 troops to cooperate with Guo Ziyi.

He himself personally led 30,000 Anxi troops to Chencang County to meet the army of Geshuhan who went north.

In order to win this crucial war, the political hall also issued a recruitment order, recruiting 200,000 troops in Guannei and Guanzhong, and the money and food needed for the soldiers were paid by the imperial court.

In order to seize this opportunity to expand their strength, Li Qing'an's Anxi Longyou Army, Guo Ziyi's Shuofang Guannei Army, and Wang Sili's Guanzhong Army set up their own recruiting points to recruit young and strong soldiers.

Only two days later, the scouts of the Anxi army once again found out the news that due to the blockage of the road caused by the collapse of Chencang Road, the army starting from Hanzhong changed its march route, and Gao Xianzhi's army changed to Luogu Road to the north, while Geshuhan's army took Baogu Road and turned to Xiegu Road to go north.

Although the other side changed the route of the march, but Li Qing'an's strategy did not change, he still dealt with the Geshuhan army, with the decision made by the high-level, the 30,000 Anxi army began to march towards Yixian, at the same time, more than 20,000 Anxi troops withdrawn from Guannai Province also marched to Yixian, and the war was about to break out.

The situation in Chang'an did not calm down because of the imminent outbreak of war, on the contrary, the imminent outbreak of war became a catalyst for chaos, and the news that Li Longji led an army of 150,000 to the north made more powerful ministers rush to leave Chang'an first, they were not optimistic about the prospects of the imperial court, and Chang'an City fell into almost crazy chaos.

Xuanyangfang, in front of Yang Huahua's house, a carriage stopped, and two maids helped the worried Yang Yupei out of the carriage, Yang Yupei was the original Korean lady, first deprived of the title of Mrs. Guo, and then Li Yu died, her daughter Cui Ningbi became a widow at a young age, and can not remarry, Yang Yupei has completely lost the arrogance of Wuyang, she is dressed ordinary, plain face, and there is no difference between ordinary women.

Yang Yupei's heart was in turmoil, Yang Guozhong's escape to the south made the Yang family lose its backbone all of a sudden, the children of the Yang family fled, ran away, Yang Yupei didn't know what to do, today she was forced by her husband to come to her sister Yang Huahua to discuss countermeasures.

The front of Yang Huahua's mansion was deserted, the gate was closed, and the plaque of 'Mrs. Qiuguo's Mansion' hanging high on the door had been taken off, and the place where the plaque was hung was empty, Yang Yupei sighed, her mansion was the same.

She went up and knocked on the door, the door opened, revealing the housekeeper's old face, seeing that it was Yang Yupei, the old housekeeper smiled, "It's the second lady here, please come in!"

Yang Yupei walked into the door and asked, "Where is my third sister?" ”

"The third lady is feeding the fish by the pool! I'm going to call her. ”

"No need, I'll go straight to it."

Yang Yupei is familiar with the road, through a few corridors, then through a small door into the inner house, the inner house is full of trees, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are very luxuriant, through a pebble path, in front of a pool of lakes, the water surface covers an area of three acres, green waves rippling, weeping willows, on the edge of a small bridge, Yang Huahua sat on the stone, wearing a peach-colored long dress, with a smile on her face, she held a piece of bread in her hand, and was engrossed in feeding dozens of big red carp under the bridge.

Yang Yupei slowly walked behind her, and said with some resentment: "Does the third sister still have the leisure and elegance to feed the fish here?" ”

Yang Huahua was startled, and when she turned around and saw that it was the second sister, she smiled and said, "How sneaky the second sister is, it scared me." ”

"The third sister scared me! My family is packed up and ready to leave Chang'an today, the third sister is still feeding the fish, don't you want to leave? ”

"Let's go?" Yang Huahua smiled contemptuously, "Where does the second sister want to go?" ”

Yang Yupei sat down beside her, staring blankly at the dozens of big red carp competing for food in the water, she sighed and said: "Most of the Yang family is gone, and I plan to follow the trend and go to Chengdu first, so that our hometown is there, and I still have a house in Chengdu." ”

Yang Huahua sneered and said: "I see that your brains have become pigs one by one, you don't stay in Chang'an, you want to take refuge in that old immortal thing, what should you do if he dies?" Can you still go back to Chang'an? You still have twenty hectares of land in Guanzhong, and a mansion worth millions of yuan, don't you want it? ”

"If the situation improves, just come back."

Yang Huahua's laughter became louder, and her laughter was full of mockery, "I don't believe that you are pig-brained, it's easy to get out of the city and difficult to enter the city, haven't you ever thought about why you can leave so easily?" is to wait for you to leave, and then collect your fields and houses, and then come back when the situation improves, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world. ”

"But... However, Yang Yupei muttered: "The third brother is gone, we will have no backstage, I am afraid of being bullied by the enemy, and I offended many people when the Yang family was in the limelight."

Yang Huahua glanced at her and said lightly: "Who said that our Yang family has no backstage?" Our Yang family has the biggest backstage, you didn't see that the Huaqing Palace has added military escorts. ”

Yang Yupei was stunned, "The third sister means ....."

"I don't mean anything, you want to go yourself."

Yang Huahua threw the dough into the water, patted the cake crumbs on her body, and went to her bedroom, with her waist swinging lightly and gracefully.

．．．．．．． Yi County is one of the counties of Guanzhongwang, and it is also the third largest city in Fengxiang Prefecture except Yong County and Yu County, with a large population and prosperous commerce.

The arrival of the Anxi army made this place extremely lively, all kinds of military supplies and resources transported from Chang'an continued to arrive in Yixian, and the large number of purchases of the army also made the merchants ecstatic, and under the stimulation of the war, the commerce and trade of Yixian County became somewhat deformed and prosperous.

As soon as Li Qing'an settled down in Yixian, a soldier came to report, "There is an old man visiting!" ”

'The deceased? ’

Li Qingan frowned slightly, who could this be? He doesn't have any old people in Yixian, and the big war is coming, who will come to him at this time?

He walked out quickly from the military office, only to see a carriage parked not far from the door, in front of the carriage stood a young man dressed in a green robe and wearing a gauze hat, his skin was surprisingly white, slender eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, and a slender figure, Li Qingan recognized it at a glance, it was not a man, it was Yang Huahua who was dressed as a man, what was she doing here?

"General, you must be thinking, what is this woman doing here? Right! Yang Huahua walked up with a smile.

Li Qingan smiled slightly, acknowledging her doubt, and said, "There is about to be a war, it's not safe here, you shouldn't be here." ”

"It's because there's going to be a war that I came to see you, and I'm looking for you to have something to do."

"Business? When is the third sister looking for me to have something to do. ”

Li Qingan smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Please come into the yamen to speak." ”

He smiled at the uneasy guards beside him: "Don't be so nervous, this is my old friend, who came to see me from Chang'an." ”

Li Qingan took her into the military office, and asked with a smile as he walked: "I heard that the Yang family has fled to Shuzhong, why don't you leave?" ”

"I'm not as stupid as them, everyone regards Li Longji as a life-saving god, in my opinion, he is just a temple god coated with gold dust, pretending to be a ghost and smashing it, isn't it just mud? Besides, if I'm gone, won't my family's property be cheaper for you? ”

Li Qing'an saw that she was sober-minded and saw the problem thoroughly, which could be described as hitting the nail on the head, and couldn't help but secretly admire, and soon, he took her to her own side room, which was the room where Li Qing'an rested, with beds, tables and chairs, all available, Yang Huahua saw that Li Qingan actually brought her to the room with a bed, her eyebrows and eyes immediately became amorous, her eyes were hazy, and her eyebrows were full of spring.

"Shichiro, what do you mean by that?" Yang Huahua's charming eyes glanced at the bed, and Bei Yan gently bit her lip and said.

Li Qingan pulled out a chair and invited her to sit down, and said lightly: "There is no other meaning, there are military maps in other rooms, and it is inconvenient for you to be present, only here is more suitable." ”

Yang Huahua saw that Li Qing'an was so puzzled, and her heart was even more annoyed, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she sat down with a lot of charm, raised her eyebrows lightly, and said: "What, my old friend is here, don't you even have a cup of tea?" ”

"Huh! That's right, it was my inconsiderate hospitality, Li Qingan opened the door and ordered the soldiers outside the door: "Go and pour two cups of tea, use my best tea." ”

Taking advantage of Li Qingan's order to pour tea, Yang Huahua quickly pulled her skirt down, she was confident and a little charming, maybe Li Qingan could really fall under her pomegranate skirt.

"Shichiro, I still think it's more affectionate to call you Shichiro, let me remember the old days, you won't be surprised!"

Li Qingan sat down and said with a smile: "There are few people who can still call me Qilang, if the third sister just comes to catch up with me, it doesn't hurt to call me Qilang, if it's to talk about business, I think it's better to be public." ”

Yang Huahua smiled and trembled, and said: "Where will I have any business, just a people's woman, of course, I am here to reminisce about the past, and by the way, I will talk about the fourth sister." ”

"You mean the concubine?" Li Qingan shook his head and said, "She's not a private matter, let's not talk about it." ”

"False seriousness!"

Yang Huahua scolded secretly, she smiled again: "Don't talk about her, forget it, then let's talk about business, you also know that I am actually a businesswoman, I came today to talk about a business with you." ”

"I said! The third sister has no interest in reminiscing about the past. ”

Li Qingan smiled humorously: "This time it is the true color of the third sister, no profit!" ”

"Who are you talking about, let's talk about the old days, and talk about business by the way?"

At this time, two cups of tea came up from the soldiers, and Li Qingan brought the tea to Yang Huahua and said with a smile: "What business does the third sister want to do with me?" ”

Yang Huahua took a sip of the teacup and said slowly: "That's the case, I still have two million stone of grain in my manor, I want to give it to the Anxi army as military food, and I will give Anxi another 500,000 yuan as military expenses." ”

Two million stone grain and 500,000 yuan for Li Qing'an, who is being laid out, can be described as a carbon in the snow, although he has silver dollars in Chang'an, but the food is insufficient, he is worried about the supply of grain and grass from the east of the Anxi army, Yang Huahua sent a generous gift, can he Li Qing'an?

But Yang Hua's money and food are not so easy to get, this woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she must have other intentions.

Li Qing'an thought for a while, and suddenly understood a little, he didn't break Yang Huahua, so he smiled and said: "Wasn't the third sister's manor copied?" How can there be money and food? ”

"I think you're a little out of your head, too."

Yang Huahua said disdainfully: "Will I, Yang Huahua, put money and food in one place?" The cunning rabbit still has three holes! To tell you the truth, I don't have more than three caves. ”

"I just said that the third sister's grange was copied, and she was so calm, it turned out that she only plucked a few hairs, so I don't know what business the third sister wants to do with me?"

Li Qing'an's smile gradually faded a little, he knew Yang Huahua very well, with Yang Huahua's stinginess, she took out two million stone grain and one million yuan for her own military expenses, and the conditions she proposed would definitely not be simple.

The hypocritical smile on Yang Huahua's face also disappeared, and she stretched out a finger and said, "I actually have only one condition, I want you to be the backer of our Yang family." ”

Li Qingan walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accept it." ”

Li Qing'an's statement was expected by Yang Huahua, she actually didn't expect Li Qing'an to protect the entire Yang family, this was just her extravagant hope, she sighed secretly, had to retreat, and said in a low voice: "Qilang, in fact, I want to ask you for help, I have done a big business, and opened more than 20 cabinet shops in Chang'an, Luoyang, Taiyuan and Yangzhou, called Huaji Cabinet Workshop, ready to compete with Wang Baoji, but I am afraid of being framed, the Yang family was too arrogant in the past, and offended many people, I know it in my heart, and now there is no one who is willing to help me, If it is known that I am the proprietor of the cabinet, someone will definitely attack me, and I hope you can help me when it is critical. ”

Li Qingan saw that her expression was gloomy and her face was full of frustration, so he nodded and smiled: "If it is for the third sister to be the backstage, I can make it difficult." ”

Yang Huahua was overjoyed, she was just about to get up and thank her, but Li Qingan stopped her and continued: "But I said ugly things in front, I won't blindly shelter you, I can help with anything, I can't help with anything, I think you should know very well." ”

Yang Huahua smiled and said, "I know! General Li is a person who loves feathers, so naturally he will not do anything to damage his reputation, as long as you can keep my mother and son safe, that is enough. ”

Li Qingan saw that the time to start recruiting troops had arrived, so he stood up and said with a faint smile: "For the sake of the third sister supporting my Anxi army, you can rest assured!" I know what to expect. ”

．．．．．．．． In accordance with the principle of recruiting troops for themselves, the Anxi Army set up two recruiting points in Yixian County, one in the south and one in the north of the city.

Li Qing'an attaches great importance to this recruitment, sent Yang Huahua away, he was accompanied by Zhang County Order of Yixian County, came to the recruitment point to inspect the recruitment situation, the recruitment point is located next to the gate in the south of the city, made up of three large tables, a captain led seven or eight soldiers to recruit, and invited a local reader to register, the recruitment process is also very simple, first visual inspection, mainly to see if there is a disability, whether there is a situation that does not meet the minimum standards of the Anxi Army, such as particularly thin, especially thin, of course, the particularly thin can be used as a surprise soldier, But there is no recruitment here.

The second is the physical fitness test, there are a few stone locks next to it, the minimum weight is thirty pounds, as long as you can lift three times in a row, it is qualified, and finally the name and household registration are registered, etc., in fact, there are some restrictions, such as brothers can not join the army at the same time, those who have escaped cannot join the army, and the unnaturalized Hu people cannot join the army, etc., but in the actual operation, the recruiters will be relaxed, such as a powerful Hu man, even if he is not naturalized, he will also be recruited into the army, as for brothers, escapes, it is not a problem.

At this time, the recruitment point is particularly lively, more than a dozen recruited men are trying to lift the stone lock, there are three kinds of stone locks, a kind of thirty catties, a kind of fifty catties, and a kind of 100 catties, Li Qing'an stood aside with great interest to watch, the captain in charge of recruitment saw that the general was coming, and hurriedly came to see the salute, but Li Qing'an's personal soldiers waved their hands to him, so that he should not alarm others, at this time, a man with a height of eight feet was trying to lift a hundred pounds of stone locks, only to hear him roar, his face was red, and the big stone lock was raised high, 'Boom! The ground was put down again, he roared again, and once again raised the stone lock above his head, the person who can lift the stone lock three times is at least a fire commander after enlisting in the army, if the bow and horse are skillful, he can also be directly appointed to the position of team leader or brigade commander, this is the rule of the Anxi Army, everything depends on ability and military merit to get promoted.

The big man raised three times in one breath, causing the surrounding recruits to be amazed, and Li Qingan saw that he seemed to have strength left, so he laughed loudly: "Do you still bow horses?" ”

Seeing that Li Qingan was young and wearing the clothes of an ordinary officer, the big man only thought he was an ordinary officer, so he smiled proudly and said: "I was originally a soldier of Longyou, if not?" ”

Seeing that he was rude, the recruiting captain was about to scold, but Li Qingan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, lead a horse and bring a bow and arrow!" How many stone bows do you use? ”

"I'll be able to shoot a five-stone hard bow in no time."

"Good! Take a five-stone hard bow. ”

A personal soldier brought a war horse, and brought a pair of five-stone hard bows, but the personal soldier had an extra heart, only gave three arrows, and broke the arrow, the big man saw the war horse, his eyes couldn't help but light up, Li Qing'an's personal war horses are all pure Arab war horses, tall and god-like, extraordinary, the big man has never seen it, there was a look of envy in his eyes, Li Qingan smiled slightly, he already knew that this big man must be a Longyou soldier, only when the soldier sees the horse, he will have this kind of gaze, the big man turned over and got on the horse, The horse galloped in a circle, and the equestrian skills were extremely skillful, Li Qingan nodded secretly, this big man is not an ordinary sergeant, at least he is also an officer such as a famous captain, but I don't know why he didn't follow Ge Shuhan, but flowed into the people, if it was a deserter, it would be a bit troublesome.

At this time, the big man shouted, an arrow shot at the straw man target hanging on the tree fifty steps away, the arrow hit the heart, although there was no arrow, but the force was strong, or an arrow shot through the straw man, the surrounding soldiers applauded, the big man slowly came to Li Qing'an, turned over and dismounted, he couldn't put down the love to stroke the war horse, and suddenly asked: "How can I ride such a war horse?" ”

Li Qingan smiled slightly: "The first is to join the cavalry, and the second is to kill more than fifty enemies to get the reward of riding a big horse." ”

The big man loved the horse and immediately responded: "Then I am willing to join the cavalry." ”

Li Qing'an smiled and said, "Then tell me first, what is your name and why did you leave the Longyou Army?" ”

Dahan sighed for a while and said: "Under the name Yue Ning, Longyou Shenwu Military Captain, ten days ago, Geshu Marshal transferred us to the east, but we went to Fengxiang, but learned that the Longyou Army went to Hanzhong, has no longer returned to Longyou, and Longyou has been taken over by the Anxi Army, we have nowhere to go, yesterday received an order from the Geshu Marshal, ordered us to disband on the spot, my general is ready to enter Beijing to join the Yulin Army General An Baoyu, but I don't want to be the emperor's guard, my general allowed me to rejoin the army, enter Yixian, just saw the Anxi Army recruiting, I wanted to give it a try. ”

Li Qing'an nodded, the Shenwu Army was the former Shibao City, and he immediately had a good impression of this Longyou military captain, so he smiled and said, "Then what is the name of your general?" ”

"My general is Li Sheng, the famous arrow general in Longyou."

Li Qingan was stunned, Li Sheng, he knew, the most famous fierce general in the Tang Dynasty, comparable to Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, such a fierce general Ge Shuhan actually abandoned him, he hurriedly asked: "Then where is your general now?" ”

"We took a boat through Yixian County an hour ago, and the big ship should not be far from here."

Li Qingan immediately ordered: "Get on the horse and follow me to chase people." ”

His five hundred guards got on their horses one after another, and at this time, Li Qing'an saw this Yue Ning standing there stupidly at a loss, so he said: "If you take me to catch up with your general, I will give you a big horse?" ”

Yue Ning's face changed, he took two steps back, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" What are you going to do after my general? ”

Li Qing'an saw that he had misunderstood, so he smiled and said, "Since you are in Stone Castle City, do you know Li Qing'an?" ”

Yue Ning was stunned on the spot, how did he not know that Li Qing'an, who led 3,000 people to intercept the crazy offensive of nearly 100,000 Tubo troops, the battle was tragic, 3,000 people were almost wiped out, and Tubo Zampu was also killed in the battle, that war has been praised by the Longyou Army, Li Qing'an has also become a mythical figure, Yue Ning himself also went to the battlefield at that time to see, and the bones are still there, is this person in front of him Li Qing'an? King of Anthy.

Li Qingan said again: "You get on the horse and follow me to chase your general, I will use your general as a general." ”

In a trance, Yue Ning got on the war horse, and in the wind brought by the gallop of the Arabian war horse, hundreds of people galloped eastward.
