Duan Xiushi tightened his face and looked at Feng Changqing. At this time, he was also in turmoil.

Feng Er He Xu is also, this is a veteran who is extremely loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and he is also a person he admires very much, Renjie is in front of the east and west, and everything in the back depends on this veteran's scheduling, it can be said that this veteran will support half of the moraine with the strength of one person.

He didn't want to believe that his old friend would rebel, but the person who told him about it was Feng Changqing, an elder who was also his teacher and friend. If it is extremely impossible for Renjie to rebel, then the possibility of Feng Changqing lying is even more impossible.

So at this time, he really wanted to hear Feng Changqing explain this matter clearly, and wanted to find loopholes in it, and tell Feng Changqing that he was wrong, and Renjie was not a rebel.

Feng Changqing looked directly at Duan Xiushi, took two steps back and leaned against the trunk of the tree, it seemed that he was indeed extremely tired and needed to borrow some strength to stand firm. Maybe he was tired not only physically, but also mentally.

After this thing is done, what will happen to the west of the city, Feng Changqing does not know. Maybe it's going to get out of hand and become a mess. It wasn't what he wanted to see, but it was all after his death, and he wasn't there then. The rebellion happened in front of his eyes, he couldn't pass his own level at all, and avenging his father and then committing suicide was his instinctive choice now.

Originally, all this would not have happened, but it was a pity that he had mistaken Ma Renjie, the death of his father, he also had a great responsibility, and he had no face to live in the world, so he could only follow.

"This matter has to start with the Tingzhou mutiny. Chenggong, you have been back in Tingzhou for many days, and you should have heard about the Tingzhou mutiny. Feng Changqing looked at Duan Xiushi and said slowly.

Duan Xiushi nodded lightly: "I naturally know this, five thousand Shuo Fang soldiers died here." It's a big deal. Most of the deaths were naturalized Turkic people, and there were very few Han soldiers among them. At the time of the mutiny, Renjie and I were both on the Mobei grassland, and after returning, the Tingzhou guards Gu Yuanqin and Gao Linshan reported the incident, saying that these Turkic soldiers heard the news and the general was going to kill the nine divisions of Tiele in Mobei. They are also members of the Tiele tribe, and they are extremely angry in their hearts, and they found out that the Son of Heaven was in Tingzhou, so they took the opportunity to make trouble, and wanted to do something rebellious, but they were surrounded and annihilated by Gu Yuanqin and Gao Linshan, the two generals, in Tingzhou City, and ended up with the annihilation of the whole army. - Doctor, is there something else hidden in this matter? ”

Feng Changqing sneered: "Naturally, there is something else hidden. It's not just that there is something else hidden! Renjie and you are far away in Mobei, and I stayed in Anxi to lead the overall situation, since such a major event happened, Gao Gu and the two should report it to me, but they did not send an envoy to Anxi, isn't this extremely suspicious? ”

Duan Xiushi said: "If that's the case...... It's nothing, after all, Renjie is the main general of the moraine. What's more, the affairs of the Son of Heaven in Tingzhou are confidential, and Renjie will not be until he returns to Tingzhou. I didn't tell me about it, I didn't know until I was a class teacher. As far as I know, Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin didn't know that His Majesty was in Tingzhou beforehand. They didn't know about it until the Shuo soldiers mutinied. Since His Majesty is in Tingzhou, they naturally want to listen to His Majesty, and the Son of Heaven probably won't ask them to report this matter to the doctor, and it is not a mistake for them not to report it to the doctor. ”

Feng Changqing nodded and sneered: "It makes sense." These are Renjie's explanations, hehe! ”

Duan Xiushi said: "What I have learned is this. ”

Feng Changqing snorted and said coldly: "Mobei is far away and Anxi is near, how important is the mutiny. Five thousand Shuo soldiers died in Tingzhou, how could Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin hide it. Every day, there are many merchants who come and go from Baishuijian Road, all of them to deliver supplies from Anxi to Tingzhou, and it didn't take long for me to hear the big news. It is a very strange thing that the two of them did not send anyone to report to me, and since I knew about it, I naturally tried to find out. Cheng Gong, I am different from you, and I still have some available people in my hands. ”

"I sent someone to Tingzhou to investigate the truth of the mutiny, and it didn't take long for the results to be obtained, Gu Yuanqin and Gao Linshan are both vulgar and unliterate martial artists, and they are not secretive, and there are many people who know about it, so I quickly learned the inside story. What's the matter with your Tao? It turned out that these two martial artists were so bold that they actually imprisoned His Majesty in Tingzhou! ”

Hearing this, Duan Xiushi's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "There is such a thing!" - Where did the two of them get this guts, so reckless! Doctor, what you said is true? ”

Feng Changqing said coldly: "Whether it's true or not, with the talent of becoming a public, you should have a judgment." Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin both regarded themselves as Renjie's private individuals, and they did such things for a reason. The key to this is the Ma family's workshop outside the city of Anxi. ”

"How important the Ma family's workshop is to Qixi, Cheng Gong naturally knows it, although Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin are vulgar martial artists, they also understand this. The reason why they imprisoned His Majesty in Tingzhou was for the sake of this Ma family's workshop. Because they know one thing, that is, His Majesty's White Dragon Fish Suit came to Tingzhou, and it was not as simple as supervising the war. If he was to supervise the war, how could it be that even Renjie had never seen His Majesty. His Majesty came to Tingzhou, firstly, for the sake of his life's wish, to take a look at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the west of the city, and secondly, to take advantage of the time when the outstanding soldiers of the Desert were in the north, and forcibly sent the Ma family workshop from Anxi to Chang'an! ”

"Ordnance manufacturing should have been a prison, and the person on whom the military horses in the west relied was a horse workshop. Since Renjie was the main border of the west, the generals of the west of the city have been invincible, but they have little damage, and they rely on the Ma family workshop. All the ordnance is not from Chang'an, but from the Ma family's workshop. The strength of the military horses in the west depends on the Ma family workshop. The western frontier army of our moraine not only has a huge advantage over the alien race, but also has a greater and greater advantage over the border armies everywhere and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. ”

"Your Majesty has great trust in Renjie, but after all, he is old, and he must also think about his children and grandchildren. It is also imminent to move the Ma family workshop to Chang'an to strengthen the strength of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army and weaken the army in the west. ”

"This is the purpose of His Majesty's White Arowana Suit coming to Tingzhou!"

Duan Xiushi nodded: "The Ma family's workshop...... It is also very reasonable that Your Majesty would think so. The outside is real and the inside is empty, and it is not appropriate in the end. However, Renjie has also said many times that when he has time, he will share the skills of the Ma family's workshop with the military department, so that Datang can have a few more strong troops, but he has been fighting in the east and west, and he has no time to deal with this matter. In this case, Renjie must have told you too. In fact, His Majesty wants the Ma family's workshop, and a decree is that if he really wants to take advantage of Renjie's northern expedition, he will do this...... It doesn't have to be this way. ”

Feng Changqing remembered the previous correspondence with Ma Luan, and nodded with a cold face: "I just remembered that Renjie said these words to me, so I was careless, otherwise how could Your Majesty be ......?"

After a slight pause, Feng Changqing continued: "Renjie and you led the troops to Mobei, there are very few soldiers and horses left in Tingzhou City, and the largest number is the five thousand Shuo soldiers brought by Yang Guozhong. When Ren was a soldier, he imprisoned Yang Guozhong, strictly ordered the Shuo soldiers to stay in the camp and not go out, and ordered the Han Navy to take care of it, and His Majesty was ready to go to Anxi through the Baishui Stream, so he made a temporary decision to let the Shuo soldiers take over the defense of Tingzhou, which sent a secret decree to Hun Xuan, the leader of the Shuo Fang soldiers, so that he could immediately control the city of Tingzhou, and if there was any resistance, he would be killed. ”

"Your Majesty's original intention is just to let the five thousand Shuo Fang army control the situation as soon as possible, and then escort him to Anxi, whether it is to kill these four words is actually unreasonable, if he shows his identity, whether it is Gu Yuanqin or Gao Linshan, he will not deceive the king, and naturally let the Shuo Fang army take over Tingzhou City. However, His Majesty did not reveal his identity first, but asked the Shuo Fang Army to directly take over Tingzhou City by force, let the Shuo Fang Army subdue the Han Navy and Gao Linshan by force, and kill the Han Navy and Gao Linshan's personal soldiers who dared to resist, so as to beat Renjie in this way and let him understand the way to be a minister. ”

Duan Xiushi said in a deep voice: "What is the crime of the Xijian Son? Your Majesty's move has gone a bit too far. ”

Feng Changqing nodded and said: "It's true, what was originally an extremely simple matter was made so complicated by His Majesty." However, the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and it is inappropriate for me to talk about Jun's father like this. ”

Duan Xiushi nodded.

"There are only one or two thousand people left in the Han Navy, and His Majesty probably didn't even look at those people in Gao Lin Mountain, and the five thousand people in the Hun Xuan Department are all Turkic knights who have been naturalized for more than a hundred years, and they are also a strong force in the Shuo Fang army, Your Majesty probably never thought that the five thousand Shuo Fang army would be cleaned up by Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin, and it was a complete victory!"

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Feng Changqing's tired face, and it seemed that he was also honored.

Duan Xiushi snorted: "The Anxi Iron Army, unparalleled in the world, is it a false name of the waves!" However, there was no such a big gap originally, according to what the second general Gao Gu said, Renjie said that it was caused by the fire and thunder explosion, otherwise there would not be less than 200 injuries on our side. ”

"Anxi Iron Army, unparalleled ...... in the world" Feng Changqing smiled and nodded.

Since Hou Junji destroyed Gaochang, the Tang Dynasty's army has existed in the west of the quicksand for more than a hundred years, and the appearance of this army of a hundred battles is the generation of the western army generals, he has been in the west for decades, and he has also paid his life's work for it. The eight words "Anxi Iron Army, unparalleled in the world" are also what he is most proud of and most valued.

Even if there was no fire and thunder, it would be impossible for only 5,000 naturalized Turks to turn the sky upside down in Tingzhou. The losses of the second general Gao Gu may have been higher, but the final victory still belonged to the army on the western side of the moraine.

"The battle between Gao Linshan and Gu Yuanqin is indeed good, and it did not insult the name of the western border army, and these two killing talents are also meritorious. However, this victory of the Fire Union disrupted His Majesty's plan. The two pursued and killed Hun Xuan, the commander of the Shuofang army, and chased him to His Majesty's residence in Tingzhou, and the two killed even used fire and thunder to bombard and kill many of His Majesty's guards. In desperation, His Majesty had no choice but to show up and reveal his identity. ”

"Gao Gu and the two naturally haven't seen the Son of Heaven, but fortunately, Yang Guozhong is being imprisoned by Renjie in Tingzhou, and His Majesty has long known about this matter. His Majesty asked Gao Gu and the others to invite Yang Guozhong, which proved His Majesty's identity. (To be continued......)
