Xu Chen led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Liangzhou.

From Chang'an to Liangzhou, if the cavalry travels, it will take five or six days to travel, but Xu Chen's army has prepared a lot of baggage, and there are more than 1,000 infantry, so it is inevitable that he will be slow to move.

The official office of Ge Shuhan is located in Liangzhou, Ge Shuhan is also the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, there are many mercenaries, and the town of Hexi alone commands eleven armies, a total of 73,000 people, Li Longji set up the purpose of the Hexi Jiedu envoy is to cut off the Tibetans and Turks.

The effect is naturally very obvious, Ge Shuhan sat here, and also fought with Tubo a few times, the result was more wins and fewer losses, directly recovered Jiuqu, and the Tubo did not have a temper at all, but this year the Turks came out with a wedge department, and gradually annexed several tribes, and the strength has improved, according to the news sent by the spies, this tribe still has some contacts with the Tubo, and often harasses the border towns, robbing property and food.

This tribe is obviously much more cunning, a few years ago when Ge Shuhan first took office, there was a Turkic often took advantage of the autumn harvest season, gathered cavalry to grab wheat, their cavalry mobility is very strong, scared that the soldiers just closed the city, watching the grain was taken away, Ge Shuhan took office after taking office with this Turkic knife, and waited until the autumn harvest to ambush the guard, five thousand Turkic cavalry did not run away, plus several battles with Tubo to recover the Jiuqu area, Ge Shuhan's reputation is enough to deter the frontier.

But the wildness of ethnic minorities is too stubborn, regardless of whether they are weak or strong, they are all red when they look at the Central Plains, and they have coveted it all their lives, this Turkic force is very cunning, and they do not fight head-on with the Tang army, so Ge Shuhan asked the emperor for instructions to ask for advice, but he didn't expect the emperor Lao'er to bring the horse over.

Ge Shuhan's life is also relatively legendary, he came to Hexi in his forties to start as a small soldier, and now he has become the envoy of the two towns and has won the supreme honor. If there is no Anshi Rebellion in this life, presumably this old guy will be famous in history and immortal, but the stain of Tongguan Station, even if it is to pacify the Anshi Rebellion, Li Hengnian's previous credit in Geshuhan has not been investigated.

One point that has to be mentioned here is that before the Anshi Rebellion, the central government of the Tang Dynasty could still have very effective control over the Jiedu Envoy, after all, there were only a few cases of the Jiedu Envoy's weight. For example, Wang Zhonghe, who once served as the envoy of the four towns, such as An Lushan, the current envoy of the three towns, and Ge Shuhan Feng Changqing, etc., the rights of the envoy of the festival are also polarized.

Even though the old emperor was mediocre, after all, he created a prosperous era, and there was still majesty, and the Jiedu envoys before the Anshi Rebellion were all dispatched in turn, working here for a few years, and continuing to work in another place. This was also the most effective way to prevent excessive power, and Wang Zhonghei was also the envoy of the Quartet at that time, and his term of office was only three months.

It's just that it's all in the preferences of the third brother, such as An Lushan's house. has been the envoy of Fan Yang for more than ten years, and his strength has developed to the present is really unimaginable, and he has already had a group of his own personal soldiers who have been entrenched in Fan Yang for so long, and he has installed a large number of henchmen. Xu Chen works in the military department, and he has a deep understanding of this.

However, even so, the imperial court was still able to exert effective control over the Jiedu envoys. It's just that after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the situation was already complicated, and after the rebellious soldiers surrendered, the imperial court still allowed them to dominate one side in order to appease, and later in order to balance the relationship between the various festival envoys, they had to set up another feudal town, so that the court was weak later, resulting in the problem that the tail of the festival was not lost.

Of course, the beginning of all this was the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, but if An Lushan, who was also the envoy of the Three Towns Festival, hadn't been forced too hard by Yang Guozhong, it was estimated that he might have rebelled a few years later, at least after the old emperor died.

Without further ado, the marching commander Xu Chen led the soldiers of the Longwu Army to walk for a full sixteen days before arriving in Liangzhou, Xu Chen was also for the purpose of not disturbing the people, passing through the prefectures and counties were camped outside the city, even if the county commanders went out of the city to greet them, even if they went in to have a hot meal, Xu Chen sternly refused, and the soldiers of Long Wuwei naturally saw in their eyes, what kind of identity this horse was, but he was willing to eat and sleep with them in the barracks, but he also gathered the hearts of the army.

Liangzhou is the modern Gansu Wuwei, located in the northwest of Gansu, Hexi put the land in Liangzhou with obvious intentions, Xu Chen's team of sergeants from Shuofang Jiedu to make An Sishun around the boundary, and finally arrived at the destination.

Not long after entering the boundary of Liangzhou, I saw a group of sergeants rushing to answer the news, and the person who came was Cheng Shouli, the envoy of the Great Dou Army, who was said to be the descendant of Cheng Biting Jin, which led Xu Chen and his party into the military base camp of Liangzhou.

Naturally, the official office of the Jiedu envoy is not located in the city, but with the rights of the Jiedu envoy, like Ge Shuhan, the local assassin county orders are all under his orders, and it has obviously become the hegemony of one party, and the three thousand elite soldiers and soldiers were arranged to rest in the barracks, and Xu Chen and Fang Yi went straight to the Jiedu envoy's official office.

Ge Shuhan had already learned the news, and the military detectives in front would naturally notice a team that suddenly broke into the jurisdiction, and Ge Shuhan was at odds with An Lushan, so he didn't like An Lushan's brother An Sishun, and was often wary of this neighbor, so he soon knew that the horse had led the Longwu army to Liangzhou.

It was to personally go out of the official office to greet the legendary Xu Da Horse, Ge Shuhan was dressed casually, dressed in a bearded costume, he didn't fight in the past, so he didn't have to put on a military uniform to greet him, but he knew that this horse came here to get military merits, and the horse was now a celebrity in front of the old emperor, so he had to be entertained.

Xu Chen rushed to Ge Shuhan's official office, and saw a little old man in his fifties with a puff hat and a beard in a bearded dress from the tall and wide gatehouse.

Ge Shuhan treats soldiers harshly and does not smile on weekdays, but this time it is a distinguished guest, where can Ge Shuhan put on a stinky face, busy is smiling face, looking at Xu Chen in military uniform, he can't help but be surprised, this legendary horse, why is the squire of the military department so young?

The border town general is free of minions and cronies in the court, An Lushan has many minions, and his brother Shuhan also has a lot, after all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, it is not good to guess the emperor's preferences, since I heard that in recent months, the power of the court and the central government has suddenly risen The power of a shareholder palace, is a horse and sat on the military department of the squire such an official, as for the horse's literary skills, it has naturally spread all over the world at the time of the birthday banquet, and now everyone at home and abroad knows that there is an emperor's favored horse in the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect that why is this person so young? (To be continued......)
