After Li Shentong gave the order, the secretary ordered Hu Dedi to immediately copy the warrant in front of Li Shentong.
Ling Fox Detong is the grandson of the Northern Zhou general Ling Fox Quan, a famous family, famous for his talent and learning at a young age, and was awarded the governor of Medicine City in the last years of the great cause, but Ling Fox Detong thought that the Sui Chamber was about to fall and did not go in person, and then Li Shentong started an incident in Nanshan, but he served as a clerk in Li Shentong's mansion, and the military Chinese books were all published by him.
After Linghu De wrote the warrant, Li Shentong read it and was very satisfied, and after sealing the seal and covering it with fire paint, he immediately called two personal soldiers.
These two pro-soldiers were both Li Shentong's original family members, and now as pro-soldiers, Li Shentong ordered the two to immediately set off for Hengzhou at a speed of 400 miles.
From Hanoi to Hengzhou, to cross Taiyue, Taihang Mountains, the road is very hard, the two of them are reluctant to listen, but the military order is like a mountain and has to follow the order.
After the two of them set off with horses, they were sent from Hedong to Hengzhou along the official road and the post station.
Two cronies, one of them carried a support tube with a secret letter, rode a fast horse, and the other supervised the guards, changing people and horses along the way, walking day and night, resting for only two or three hours a day, and running straight towards Hengzhou.
Hengzhou, that is, Hengshan County, after Li Yuan Jinyang raised troops, Lingshou thief handsome Xi Shiling, surrendered to Li Yuan with thousands of people, so Li Yuan was named the general of Zhendong, the prince of Yan County, let him sit in Hengshan County.
Thirty miles after the two guards came to the outskirts of Lingshou County, it was already night, and they couldn't help but feel comfortable when they saw that they could enter the city tomorrow to deliver the official documents.
Exhausted from running all the way, the two decided to rest overnight in the nearest post station and re-enter the city tomorrow.
The two rode their horses, and after seeing the post station on the official road, they came to the front, and one of them shouted at the top of his voice: "Where is the post general?" ”
After shouting for a while, a person who looks like a rich man in the post station came out to greet him, the Tang Dynasty was founded for a year, and the post station implemented the post system, the so-called catch post is to select the rich households in the state and serve as the post general.
This Lingshou County next to the fire post general, by the county's wealthy Qiu Zhong as a post, there are more than 30 post horses in the post station, as a post general is equivalent to a post in the government soldiers, for the military also enjoy the preferential treatment of tax exemption in the government soldiers. In addition, Qiu Zhong also has an identity in private, which is a secret spy planted by Sima Lin in Youzhou in Hengshan County.
Qiu Zhong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the two of them riding horses, and first asked with a smile on his face: "Two officials, where did you come from?" ”
"That's all the nonsense, is this what you should ask?" The next one showed the seal.
Qiu Zhong shone the letter under the lantern, and when he saw it, his face jumped, and he said: "Oh, it turned out to be the uncle of the Right Yi Guard, and the young general is not welcome." ”
Qiu Zhongyan listened to the other party's tone very tightly, and he couldn't find anything from the words, but he secretly looked at it, and saw that the two horses were covered with dirt, looking like a dusty servant.
The cronie raised his horsewhip and said, "What's the noise, the horses are fed, the concentrate is on, and the fat is lost, but you ask." ”
"Yes, yes." Qiu Zhong personally led the horse and shouted to the poster, "Don't hurry up, do you want me to do it?" You killers, use soybeans as horse feed, and prepare a table of first-class meals to entertain the two military masters. ”
Hearing Qiu Zhong say this, the two of them smiled, and one said: "You still have a little bit of eyes, but you don't need high-quality food, you have to hurry tomorrow morning, you can come to two baskets of cooking cakes." ”
"Yes, yes. I made a pot of hot foot wash for the two of them. Qiu Zhong should admit.
"Eh, you're really good at doing things, so be it."
At that moment, Qiu Zhong led the two to the resting place with a smile on his face, glanced at the support tube behind the other party, and knew it at the moment.
After the two entered the room, Qiu Zhong immediately ordered his men to give the two warm foot washing water, in addition to two baskets of cooking cakes, there was also a pot of wine.
The cronie frowned and said, "What's the matter, we have military affairs, how can we drink?" ”
Qiu Zhongyan said: "It's okay, a little private brewing, and filial piety to the two military masters." ”
"What's good to sell, it's not good to brew privately, I want a bowl of rice soup, remember that as soon as tomorrow dawn, I will wake us up, delay things, and ask you to eat military sticks."
"Yes, military master, the young general remembers."
Qiu Zhong withdrew from the room, but did not walk away, but eavesdropped outside with his ears close to his ears, listening to the two chatting while eating cooking cakes.
After doing this errand, how much money do you say King Huai'an will reward us?
Don't think too much, King Huai'an, the last trip to Qinglou can cost more than a dozen, but our subordinates give him a trip, how can he have the money to take it, it's good not to be scolded.
Also, when did you see him generous, I really regret it, why did my parents let us be born in the Li family.
What's the use of complaining, complaining about my own bad life, others are princes, we are slaves, I pondered for a few days, asked the prince for his life, and went to the army to be a captain.
It's a good way out, okay, don't say it, be cautious at night, don't go on a business trip at the end.
I know, I hugged this leaning tube, and as soon as I moved, I woke up.
Don't sleep like a pig.
"Do you think that if you don't drink, you won't have a bad cuò?" Qiu Zhong sneered, wine is just for confusing people, but the real medicine has already been evenly added to the cooking cakes and rice soup.
After a while, when the two of them fell asleep, Qiu Zhong banged on the door, swaggered in front of the two, and held the backing tube containing the secret letter in his hand. Qiu Zhongxin said, the king of Huai'an is Li Shentong, listening to the news from above, this person is Li Yuan as the ambassador of Shandong Province, who has the military power of several states, and is responsible for the use of troops in Hebei and Shandong.
This secret letter may have important news involving my Youzhou.
Qiu Zhong returned to the room and opened the cylinder, and the letter was sealed in full with fire paint. Qiu Zhong smiled, this did not bother him in the slightest.
At that moment, Qiu Zhong turned the oil lamp brighter, and then put the letter paper on the oil lamp, and soon the handwriting on the letter paper was clearly visible.
After reading the letter, Qiu Zhong's face changed, and he said, "Fortunately, this letter fell into my hands, otherwise the Lord would be in trouble." ”
At that moment, Qiu Zhong put the letter back in the trunk and returned it to the house, the two messengers were still sleeping as if they were dead, and tomorrow they would send the letter to Lingshou County without knowing anything.
Qiu Zhong sneered, returned to his room, took out a cloth, wrote down the information on it, and then sealed it with wax pills, mixed it in a pile of medicinal materials, and put it in the medicine box.
After being busy with these, Qiu Zhong called a trusted post man and said: "The third owner of the Zhao family, suffering from angina, I have a life-saving medicinal material here, you send it overnight, remember that this is a matter of saving people, and you can't delay for a moment." ”
After the post Ding agreed, he immediately rode a stagecoach and ran towards Zhaojiazhuang overnight.
After some tossing and turning, at noon the next day, the letter had arrived on the desk of Sima Lin Dangfeng of Shoufu County, Youzhou County.
After Lin Dangfeng saw the letter, he immediately ignored the untidy robe, immediately went out from his subordinate ya, and went straight to the main hall.
Wei Zheng, the county guard in the main hall, and Zhou Xu, the county school sacrifice wine, are discussing with the county doctors of the counties in Youzhou about this year's county bachelor's examination.
After Wei Zheng heard Lin Dangfeng's report, he immediately put down the matter at hand and immediately went to the Youzhou Assassin's Mansion to convene Wen Yanbo, Chen Xiaoyi, Ji Chuan, Wang Qi, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanche, Tan Zong, Lu Chengqing and other Youzhou officials and generals to discuss and hold a meeting.
When Li Chongjiu left Youzhou, he asked Wen Yanbo, Chen Xiaoyi, and Wei Zheng to discuss together. Chen Xiaoyi and Wei Zheng are not very familiar with military affairs. Therefore, when it comes to military affairs, Wen Yanbo will make the decision.
Wen Yanbo is old-fashioned, knowing that although Li Chongjiu is not there, he holds the power, but he can't make a decision casually, if there is the slightest difference in this, then his status in the Youzhou Army will come to an end. So he decided to ask Ji Chuan, Xue Wanshu, and Xue Wanche and other generals in the army what they meant.
Wen Yanbo first smiled and said, "Don't look at me all the time, let's talk about it, and brainstorm." ”
Ji Chuan was the first to get up at the moment, and said unyieldingly: "Xi Shiling, this person, I have heard of it, this person is a strong man in Hengshan County, and later a thief, who is quite popular with the people in the local area, when Zhao Wanhai was powerful, there was nothing to do about this person." However, although this person has the ability, the 30,000 troops of Princess Pingyang stationed in Hengshan County have been transferred back to Jiangxian County. No matter how good Xi Shiling is, there are only thousands of township soldiers in his hands, so he is not afraid. However, the reinforcements of Yong'an King Li Xiaoji from Shangdang County need to be careful. ”
Xue Wan said: "Officials, from the map, Hengshan County and Yanmen, Shanggu, Taiyuan three counties border, if it is taken Hengshan County, Taiyuan, Yanmen, Shanggu three counties we can be connected into a line, in addition Hengshan County is a large county, the number of households at the peak of the number of 1780,000 as many as 1780,000, although after Wang Xuba, Zhao Wanhai and others plundered, but there are still 70,000 or 80,000 households in Hejun, if our army takes it, it will greatly enhance its strength. ”
Hearing Xue Wanshu say this, everyone nodded, the number of households in Zhuo County, because of the absorption of displaced people, has just exceeded 100,000 this year. And seizing Hengshan County and taking its money and grain can greatly increase the strength of the current Youzhou army.
Wen Yanbo looked at Xue Wanshu and asked, "What does Xue Ji mean is that we want to take Hengshan County?" ”
Xue Wanshu bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Back to Wen Changshi, the enemy's strategy of sending troops has been known to my secret spy, and now we have a good chance of winning. It would be too simple for Shanggu to return to Youzhou fairly, and it is what we should think about to seize Hengshan County, otherwise we would have wasted this opportunity. ”
Wen Yanbo thought about it, but he was a little worried, it was a bit risky to take Hengshan County.
Xue Wanche clenched his fists and said: "The last general has a bold decision, I don't know what Wen Changshi thinks?" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Xue Wanche said: "We can take advantage of Xi Shiling to lead the army to ambush Shanggu Gong, send troops from Youzhou, and jointly stationed in Taiyuan General Wei Chi, General Tan of Shanggu County, General Gao of Yanmen County, cooperate with the army south of Shanggu Gong Five Roads and attack Hengshan County, front and back, annihilation Xi Shiling, Li Xiaoji, so not only to capture Hengshan County, but also to take the lead in the competition with Li Tang in Hebei, I don't know what Wen Changshi means?"
