Duan Junzi is the capital of Yuhou, not only in charge of military law, but also in charge of the treasury. Ma Lan went back to the Grange to find Duan Xiushi, told him about the secret decree, and ordered him to immediately take out the 100,000 yuan of Kaiyuan Tongbao in the Wude period from the treasury, and immediately transport it to Pishan Town for distribution, and at the same time take back the three turns of the new army athletes who had won the battle in the north of Shule City.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and the general must not be resentful because of this, this is not the way of a human minister." Before leaving the grange with 100,000 yuan, Duan Xiushi did not forget to tell Ma Xuandao.

Ma Lan smiled and waved him to leave quickly.

If you can hold back and not say this, Duan Xiushi will not be Duan Xiushi. He was like that, no matter what happened to him, he never forgot to be loyal to the king.

Such people are the backbone of this dynasty. In this era, there are many such scholars. Guang was later written into the righteous song by Wen Shaobao, in addition to Duan Xiushi, there were a few.

Yang Guozhong is about to ascend to the throne, which is something that cannot be changed. The Anxi army must become strong as soon as possible, and strong can only be through war. The matter of sending troops to Qiangtang next year will not change. If it weren't for the fact that the number of Anxi troops was too small, Ma Lan would even want to let the new Anxi army cross the Bingdaban now.

A few days later, a caravan entered Qiuzi City, and Duhuan, the son of Lantian County, returned from Chang'an.

Anxi Road is far away, and the time to come and go is basically fixed. At the beginning, Du Huan left Anxi after Bian Lingcheng returned to Chang'an with the merit chapter in the north of Shule City, so he returned to Anxi after the secret decree arrived in Anxi.

Hearing Du Huan say that the Yang family had already checked into the Fufeng Hou Mansion in advance, Ma Lan nodded and sighed. This is due to the number of fortunes, and no one can do anything about it. Du Huan has been away from Chang'an for more than a month, and for such a long time, Kang Qingqing must have succeeded. Since the Yang daughter died, the marriage contract naturally did not exist, and there was no obstacle for him to marry Gao Qianqian.

Died of a little girl who had never met, Ma Luan only let go of the slightest wave in his heart. Although Du Huan said that the girl was extremely beautiful, how could she compare with Gao Qianqian. However, when Du Huan talked about the second thing, Ma Lan's face immediately sank.

……

"The golden knife is chaotic? Qingjun side? ”

Listening to Du Huan's relays of the words of Anxi Daduhu, Jin Guogong, and Shangshu's left servant shooting Li Linfu, Ma Lan was suddenly messy.

"This is Li Xiang's original words, but his subordinates don't know who the other famous border army general he said is."

Ma Lan was silent for a long time, and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Who is the other famous general of the border army? It's not Zajuan Lushan!

In the Anshi Rebellion, when An Lushan raised troops, it was in the name of getting rid of Yang Guozhong on the side of the Qing monarch. Could it be that this miscellaneous hu didn't really want to rebel, but just obeyed Li Linfu's last orders? It was only later that ambition was bred and turned against Datang?

This is completely different from Ma Luan's cognition, and his heart is extremely confused for a while.

In his eyes, An Lushan was an ambitious rebel and thief, and now he was preparing for a rebellion in Fanyang, which was far away, but now, he heard such words from Li Linfu's side.

"General, what do you think about this?" Du Huan asked in a low voice.

Ma Lan was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Enwei is all from above, what is the side of the Qing monarch, as soon as the army moves, it is a rebellion!" Li Linfu wants a certain family to be a rebel and thief, why should I listen to him. ”

Du Huan said: "That is to ignore Li Xiang's order." ”

Ma Lan nodded and said, "Of course I don't pay attention to it." His Anxi Dadu is just a false title, so it's hard to really treat us as his subordinates. I don't know Li Linfu well, and he wants to use me as a gunman in just a few words, how is it possible? Li Xiang knew that he would die soon, and he was jealous that Yang Guozhong would take his place, so he arranged it like this, wanting to drag Yang Guozhong to die together. For the sake of personal grievances, he did not hesitate to shake the country's foundation, and it really didn't matter if the flood was monstrous after death. ”

Du Huan frowned and said: "But there are indeed rumors of the golden knife chaotic Tang Dynasty, and everyone in Chang'an City knows it." Li Xiangnai is a relative of the Tang Dynasty, maybe he is really worried that Yang Guozhong's rebellion will endanger the Tang Dynasty? ”

Ma Lan sneered and said: "I have never believed in any false sayings, the eight achievements of the prophecy of the Golden Sword Chaos Tang Dynasty were made by Li Linfu. Yang Guozhong's incompetence is true, if it is said that he will rebel after Li Linfu's death, hehe, don't look at how many catties and taels he has! ”

Du Huan said: "Li Xiang said that when it is about to be launched, the border army will come to inform the general." ”

"Well, that's good. Let's just wait. Ma Lan slowly leaned back in his chair and smiled, "It's best for that border soldier to come by himself, that would be the most interesting." ”

……

Ma Lan didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. Could it be that the cause of the Anshi Rebellion that beheaded the Tang Dynasty was Li Linfu's arrangement of the things after his death?

If there is no Anshi Rebellion, even if Yang Guozhong controls the government, it is nothing more than to squeeze out dissidents and form parties for personal gain. There are many prime ministers in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and there are more mediocre and extravagant people, and Yang Guozhong is not worse than one, Yang Guozhong is tossed again, as long as there is no Anshi Rebellion, it will not be able to shake the national capital of Datang after all.

I don't know how credible Li Linfu's words are, if that's the case, this matter is very interesting. If Zajuan Lushan really came to inform him before he launched it, and asked everyone to go to Chang'an Qingjun's side together, then everything would become extremely active.

Ma Ling frowned, his mind turned sharply, and he forcibly calmed down quickly, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

I really didn't expect things to turn out like this, Du Huan took dozens of his concubines to swagger through Chang'an City, the original intention was just to make the Yang family ugly, so that the Yang family took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, so as not to harm the innocent woman's life. Who would have thought that this move would be thought by Li Linfu that he hated the Yang family, so he made such a big bet on himself.

Such a confidential matter, Li Linfu should not tell someone like Du Huan for the first time anyway. It seems that after Li Linfu was repeatedly overwhelmed by Yang Guozhong, he was already a little out of control, and he didn't care that if he didn't keep things secret, he would cause trouble.

Obviously, Li Linfu had expected that Yang Guozhong would attack him after his death, and his name could not be preserved after his death, and he hated Yang Guozhong to the core, so he was so crazy.

The affairs in Chang'an City could not be interfered with, and Yang Guozhong could not be stopped. Yang Guozhong's ascension is nothing, the problem is still in the "other famous general of the border army".

If An Lushan raised troops because of Li Linfu's crazy will, then there is a great possibility that this matter will be prevented.

For Ma Luan, a later generation, understanding the Anshi Rebellion that beheaded the prosperous Tang Dynasty is the most painful thing when reading history. And now in this era, he suddenly got extremely close to the truth of the matter.

"General, Li Xiu is still waiting outside the Dadu Protectorate, waiting to see the general." Du Huan reminded, "In order to show his heart of meritorious service, this general as a young eunuch also brought all his family members. ”

Ma Lan came back to his senses and snorted: "Where does he want to make meritorious contributions, he is here to avoid trouble with his family." Li Linfu's son is not simple, after all, he is the heir of the meat waist knife, and it is no wonder that he can see the long-term. ”

"Avoiding trouble?" Du Huan was slightly stunned, "General, I don't quite understand." If Li Xiang is really dead, can Yang Guozhong still be able to attack a dead man? ”

"Attacking the dead, Li Linfu himself has not done it." In front of this confidant, Ma Lu didn't hide anything, and hummed, "Look at it!" After Li Linfu's death, Yang Guozhong will definitely not let him go, and it is inevitable to destroy his family and clan. Li Linfu likes to frame others the most in his life, and being framed by Yang Guozhong after his death is not wronged, it can be described as unpleasant retribution. If this Li Xiu stays in Chang'an, he will definitely not end well. That's why he took this opportunity to go to Anxi, wanting to leave a glimmer of life for the Li family. ”

"What then? He came to Anthy with a holy order, how should we place him? ”

"The heavens and the earth are great, and the holy destiny is the greatest, so come and come. Anxi's sky is high and wide, can't he be tolerated? Go and let him in! Ma Lan waved his hand.

Du Huan nodded, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "General, my subordinates think that this general has a very good character as a young eunuch." He used our camel team to traffic goods from Chang'an to Anxi, and made a profit of more than 3,000 yuan, all of which were distributed to the craftsmen who came with him as prisoners. ”

"Oh?" Ma Lan suddenly became interested, "How can more than 100 camels earn more than 3,000 yuan by trafficking goods from Chang'an to Anxi?" ”

Du Huandao: "He bought goods from Chang'an West City, but he did not directly transport them to Anxi to sell, but sold them directly in Hexi, and then bought goods from Hexi, brought them to Jiaohe County and sold them all, and finally transported goods from Jiaohe County to Anxi, and sold them out in the market as soon as he entered the city." In this way, the capital of more than 1,000 yuan has earned more than 3,000 yuan. The capital was his, and he took it back, and the rest was distributed to the craftsmen in person. ”

Ma Lan nodded, and said in his heart that this Li Xiu is also a character. Not to mention knowing how to operate, and treating those craftsmen like this is very rare among the families of this era.

"Go and invite him in! You go to the Grange Treasury and withdraw a sum of money, and we will give double as much as Li Xiu gives to those craftsmen. People come all the way from Chang'an to Anxi to build ordnance for us, and they must be willing. Ma Lan waved his hand.

Du Huan nodded and left, and after a while, a kind young man walked in, bent down to Ma Luan and saluted, and said with a smile: "Li Xiu, the general of the Anxi Army, is the main supervisor of the camp, and he has come to see the Marquis of Fufeng County. ”

Since he was straightforward, Ma Lan didn't be polite to him, accepted his salute, motioned for Li Xiu to sit down, and said with a smile: "I heard Du Huan say that you claim to be good at making bows and crossbows?" ”

Li Xiu nodded, with a proud look on his face, and said with a smile: "My subordinates are not good at martial arts, and I have liked the way of equipment since I was a child, especially the strong bow and crossbow. It's not a subordinate boasting, the crossbow arrows made by my supervision, whether it is a Fuyuan crossbow, a Zhang crossbow, a horn bow crossbow or a single-bow crossbow are the best for the superintendent, and the eight bull crossbows are also made by me, as for the power, the Hou Ye must be very clear. ”

Ma Lan nodded, returned to the inner room with a smile, took out a crossbow commonly used by the scouts of the Anxi Army, and said, "How about the main prison take a look at this thing?" ”
