**********************************************

In the evening of the same day, Li Ang went to find the marching Sima Cui Qianyou and pounced. The entourage in his house told Li Ang that Cui Qianyou went out to the banquet, and as for whose banquet he was going to, the next person didn't bother to tell Li Ang at all.

Well, Leon decided not to look for anyone, so let's talk about it.

If Li Ang had honestly bowed his head and offered his mount in front of the envoy, there would have been no such turmoil.

In reality, it is common for many subordinates to go to their bosses to give gifts in order to get promoted or taken care of by their superiors.

Li Ang also gave gifts to people, such as Gao Lizheng in Shangxi Village, Zhou Liang and others who joined the army in Yizhou. Then why is he reluctant to give the horse to Dong Yanguang, the deputy envoy of Jiedu?

It's very simple, he used to give gifts, which he was willing to give. Now that Dong Yanguang asked for his horse when he met, with a tough attitude, Li Ang was not happy.

Why?

Lao Tzu's things, it's my own business that I killed the bacon, why should you give it to you when you call it?

That night, Leon didn't read any more books, and was pondering alone. Wu Xuan thought he was thinking of a countermeasure, but as everyone knows, Li Ang was actually pondering a poem.

There are always two sides to things in this world. There are pros and cons, and there are disadvantages, and the key is whether you can see the pros and cons and what you can gain from them.

Li Ang had already thought about it, if Dong Yanguang really wore small shoes for himself, he would take advantage of this opportunity. Build yourself into a new generation of five good young people in Datang who refuse to pay bribes, are not afraid of power, refuse to be complicit in the same stream, and flattery.

The next day, Li Ang came to the embassy early in the morning, and the officials who came in and out all glanced at him quietly, and then turned their faces away, as if they were afraid that they would have something to do with him.

It wasn't until the marching Sima Cui Qianyou arrived that he said to him: "Li Bingcao, you wait a minute." ”

That's it. Next, no one asked him to attend the regular meeting of the council chamber, and Li Ang was completely left out in the cold.

Li Ang waited in the corridor of the envoy's office, and it was not until after noon, when his stomach was rumbling with hunger, that an official in his thirties came over and said to Li Ang: "Li Bingcao, this official is Yan Ling, the secretary of the envoy office. Deputy Envoy Dong just received a report that Tubo had been invaded from time to time in recent months. There are many beacon towers along the West Sea that have been destroyed, and Deputy Dong has sent you to supervise the repairs, and at the same time reconnoiter the enemy situation in Tibet and report back to the envoys. ”

Li Ang's responsibilities for joining the army are usually in charge of military defense, access control, field hunting, beacon waiting, post transmission, etc., but it is not necessarily in reality. Generally speaking, you have to do whatever the official arranges you to do.

It is not surprising that such a thing as repairing the beacon tower was assigned to Li Ang, and Li Ang had nothing to say, so he agreed.

Yan Ling groaned for a moment. Only then did he say: "The matter of repairing the beacon tower, Deputy Envoy Dong has limited you to complete it within 20 days, in order to prevent the Tubo from taking the opportunity to invade on a large scale, and if it cannot be completed within 20 days, it will be punished by delaying the military aircraft." ”

Li Ang secretly frowned and asked, "Dare to ask Yan Zhangshu, how many beacon towers have been destroyed?" How much manpower was given to the subordinate officials for repairs? ”

Yan Ling seemed to have expected him to ask some questions, and immediately replied: "The specific situation is not detailed in the military report, and Li Bingcao needs to go to the field to investigate; As for the manpower and materials needed for repairs, after Li Bingcao arrived at the Anren Army, he could ask General Wei Yaowuwei for transfer. ”

Li Ang smiled faintly and said, "If General Wei doesn't cooperate, can the lower officials only come back with their heads to see Deputy Envoy Dong?" ”

Yan Ling glanced left and right, and whispered to Li Ang: "Li Bingcao, this official can only remind you that if you disobey the military order, Deputy Envoy Dong can deal with you with military law now." You go according to your orders, and in 20 days, if Ambassador Wang can rush to Shanzhou to take office, you may still have a glimmer of life. ”

After Yan Ling finished speaking, he shoved a document into Li Ang's hand, then turned around and left with his fists clenched.

Leon looked at the document, which was to order him to supervise the repair of the beacon tower and reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and it was stamped with the seal of the envoy, which was the only thing Leon had gotten.

The Anren Army is located in the area of Xingsuchuan about 230 miles west of Shanzhou, separated by Shancheng (Xining), with a garrison of 10,000 troops, and is one of the bridgeheads to defend against Tubo and invade Longyou.

More than 200 miles away, according to normal circumstances, it will take several days just to travel on the road. Now Dong Yanguang only gave him twenty days, and he didn't give him anything except an empty paperwork, and his intention to deliberately make things difficult for him couldn't be more obvious.

Li Ang went out of the embassy, took Wu Xuan and Tinker Bell, and embarked on this dangerous journey.

Outside the west gate of Shanzhou, people come and go, and it is very lively. On the side of the road not far from the city gate, there is a big stone that is quite conspicuous, Li Angle stopped the horses and said to Wu Xuan: "South Gate, quickly grind the ink, this official poem is prosperous, and I want to mention a poem here." ”

"Lang Jun, when is it, are you still interested in inscription poems?" Things are so tricky, Wu Xuan is worried in his heart.

Li Ang smiled unhurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense, grind the ink quickly, the official's poetry is about to burst out!" ”

Wu Xuan was speechless, took out a small inkstone, poured some water from the kettle, and polished the ink.

Li Ang took out a large pen, filled it with thick ink, and then wrote four lines of poetry on the boulder:

Yesterday in Beijing Tanhualang,

Today, ride lightly across the river.

Mo laughs at the scholar's high spirits,

Stepping through the long clouds and the sea sea.

Of course, in the end, he didn't forget to leave a letter. Pedestrians on the road came over and applauded. Li Tanhua's name quickly spread among the crowd.

Li Ang smiled secretly, since we want to play, then let's have fun, seeing that there are more and more onlookers, he is full of thick ink again, and once again waved his pen to write the next poem:

Make Jun Soma laugh at the scholar,

I am not shocked when the tooth soldiers insult me.

This heart is like Kunlun snow,

Rather take fame from the frontier.

This poem is simple and easy to understand, although it does not explain who the envoy is, but it does "make the monarch Soma, the tooth soldier abuses". And he didn't want to be flattered, and he would rather go to the battlefield to win fame with a real sword and a real gun to write it out.

After Li Ang finished writing the poem, he mounted his horse and galloped west with a loud laugh.

Because of their pertinence, his two poems quickly spread in Shanzhou, and people talked about it. guessed which "envoy" was asking Li Tanhua for a bribe.

At this time, it is inevitable that there will be so-called people who "know the inside story" to show off and tell the story of Dong Yanguang's solicitation of bribes from Li Tanhua in front of the envoy.

The matter soon spread to the envoys, and almost everyone except Dong Yanguang knew about it, but everyone was reluctant to touch the moldy head to tell Dong Yanguang himself.

For Li Ang, since the matter is irretrievable, let's earn a good reputation first, which will not be useful to him at the moment. But it will definitely be useful in the future.

Of course, the premise is that there must be a future.

Li Ang took Wu Xuan all the way to the west, passed through Shancheng, passed through Linfan City, and traveled another sixty miles to Suirong City (Huangyuan County).

Suirong City is a three-way intersection here, sixty miles south from here, there is Dingrong City, Dingrong City there. It is the famous battle-ready stone fortress city. Shibao City is the only place to enter Tibet on the east side of Qinghai Lake, and Tubo is called Tieqi City.

March of the 17th year of Kaiyuan. Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, adopted the tactics of long-distance running, and when Tubo was unprepared, he killed Benshi Fort day and night. The officers and soldiers defending the city of Tubo were caught off guard, and the stone fort city fell into the hands of the Tang army.

It's a pity that in the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, because of poor defense, Shibao City was lost again. This made Datang's defense very passive.

and sixty miles west from Suirong City. It is the An People's Army, which is the destination of Li Ang's trip.

The Anren army defended against the Tibetan soldiers and horses who came from the north of Qinghai Lake.

If it is winter, when Qinghai Lake freezes, the Tibetan people can step on the ice and cross the lake and pour it down. Therefore, the defense task of the People's Army was very heavy, and a total of 10,000 heavy troops were stationed.

Along the way, Li Ang was not too anxious, but Wu Xuan urged from time to time: "Lang Jun, let's hurry up, rush over, understand the situation clearly, and find a way to deal with it." ”

Li Ang looked at the reckless mountains, looked at the floating white clouds, and said indifferently: "What else do you know, isn't the matter clear enough?" Dong Yanguang clearly wants to put me to death this time, let's arrive a day earlier and a day later, what's the difference? ”

Wu Xuan said anxiously: "Could it be that Lang Jun is willing to wait for death like this?" ”

Li Ang smiled: "It's not necessary to wait for death, don't forget at the South Gate, in addition to repairing the beacon tower, Dong Yanguang also gave me a task to inspect the enemy situation in Tibet." ”

Wu Xuan's heart moved, and he asked: "Lang Jun, you already have a belly case, come and listen to your subordinates, okay?" ”

"There's no case to talk about now, wait until you get to the Anren Army, let's see if you can deceive some people from the Anren Army envoys."

"Lang Jun, I'm afraid this won't be easy."

"That's not necessarily, let's see."

For the sake of An Wuxuan's heart, Li Ang accelerated his journey, and it took half a day to travel sixty miles, and he came to the Anren Army, which is located in the upper reaches of Huangshui, on the west side of Xingsu River.

Looking west from here, you can see the red ridge where the soil and rocks are all red, and there is no grass, and the current boundary between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is the red ridge. Although there are no steep cliffs and majestic peaks in Chiling, it also has a majestic demeanor and majestic momentum.

Li Ang didn't care about looking too much, and took Wu Xuan straight into the Anren Army, and asked to see the military envoy Feng Shoujie.

Feng Shoujie had already received an urgent letter from Dong Yanguang, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, who was full of soldiers and horses in the big tent, and he was murderous. When his own soldiers brought Li Ang into the big tent, he made no secret of the mocking sneer on his face.

Li Ang was neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed his hand to him under the tent and said: "I finally saw the Feng military envoy, when the lower official was in Chang'an, I was fortunate to be the guest of honor of the left minister, and I heard the Huangfu ambassador mention the Feng military envoy, saying that the Feng military envoy sat in the Anren army for two years, and did not teach Tubo to cross the Chiling Mountains with a single soldier, which is really a rare good general." The lower officials looked at the soldiers and horses outside the tent of Feng Jun's envoys, all of them were well-trained and murderous, and they really lived up to their reputations, and the lower officials admired, admired! ”

Pulling the tiger skin to fill the flag, who wouldn't? With a few rhetorical words, you want to coax the Feng Jun delegation that has been killed for many years?

Feng Shoujie sneered: "Deputy Envoy Dong sent Li Bingcao to repair the beacon tower, and the envoy kindly reminded Li Bingcao that you don't have much time!" ”
