A month ago, in northern Xinjiang, Anbei was the capital of the Protectorate. Although there are still a few days to go before the New Year, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is tense.

In the conference hall, Gu Dazu, Zheng Xian, and Shen Zesi looked at the huge map and did not speak. The atmosphere in the chamber was like the bitter cold of the northern frontier, which made people shiver for a while.

Zheng Xian has always held the folding fan with demeanor by his side, but at this moment, he no longer shook it gently, but squeezed it tightly in his hand, and the iron fan bones seemed to be a little deformed.

Shen Zesi looked at this deformed iron bone out of the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but think, how many are these? Since the scout came to report three days ago, Zheng Xian's fan has suffered.

"There hasn't been any new news from the scouts yet, so hopefully Ben has thought too much." Gu Dazu's voice sounded, his eyebrows did not stretch, and his arrogant face looked more like a bandit leader.

Shen Zesi's gaze shifted from Zheng Xian's fan back to the map, and with Zheng Xian, he listened to Gu Dazu's words.

Three days ago, the scouts came to report that there were suddenly more Turks on the border, although they didn't look like soldiers in the army, but there were more people in more than one place, which caused the scouts to be vigilant, and they hurriedly reported the matter to Gu Dazu.

Gu Dazu was worried that the Turks would make a move, and he had already ordered the scouts to step up their investigations, and at the same time ordered the Anbei soldiers to strengthen their vigilance so that they could meet the battle at any time.

In the thirty-seventh year of Emperor Changtai, Dayong and Xiyan jointly sent troops to fight against the Turks. Since then, the Turks have stopped a lot, and in recent years, Dayong and the Turks have been at peace.

Although, there will be Turkic branches that come to disturb from time to time, and it is also a small fight. If the climate can't be achieved, Zheng Xian and Shen Zesi beat them back, and there is no need for Gu Dazu to go out at all.

Now there is a sudden increase in the number of Turkic peoples. It made Gu Dazu's heart feel a sense of foreboding. The northern border has been quiet for too long, and he is afraid that the Turks will invade, and if so, the northern frontier will be in danger.

"This year coincides with the day when the Turks elect their great chiefs, and according to past practice, the end of the year and the beginning of the year are the busiest time for the leaders of the Turkic tribes. So it seems. The Turks should not make a big move, and the appearance of these Turks is indeed very strange. ”

Zheng Xian said. I still couldn't help but shake the fan gently. He knew very well about the customs and rituals of the Turks.

Dayong's Chinese New Year's Eve is also the Turkic New Year, and it is freezing at this time. If the Turks invade with a large army. The cost will increase significantly. What would the grandchildren be willing to spend so much?

But what about these suddenly increasing Turkic people? No matter how you look at it, it's not ordinary.

With that, the last general remembered that the recent scout's report on the Turkic leader Uji seemed to be much less. What is he up to? ”

Shen Zesi said. Originally, between countries, especially between countries and ** teams. It is normal to penetrate each other. Just like Dayong and Xiyan. There must be someone lurking in the Xiyan army in Dayong, and there must be people in Dayong who communicate with Xiyan.

Infiltration and espionage never stop.

But between Dayong and the Turks, this could not be done. This is because from the point of view of appearance, the Dayong people and the Turks are so different that no matter which party sends them to work in detail, they will be quickly recognized.

Therefore, most of the spy reports obtained by the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate came from the scouts in front, which also caused a delay in information, which was a helpless thing.

"Four years ago, Uji, with absolute prestige, became the leader of the Turks and led the Turkic tribes. In this election, his prestige is the highest at a glance, but there is really little news about him. ”

Zheng Xian is in the northern frontier, and after hearing Shen Zesi say this, he also felt that something was wrong.

"Get ready for battle. Immediately report the situation in the north and the Turkic movements to the imperial court! At the same time, tell Long Youwei about these situations and let Jiang Bowen prepare for reinforcements. ”

Gu Dazu immediately made a decision and gave instructions to Zheng Xian and Shen Zesi. Although it was not yet certain whether there was any change in the Turks, Gu Dazu could not ignore the ominous intuition in his heart, so he decided to report the situation immediately, and had prepared a perfect plan.

As soon as Gu Dazu gave the order, Zheng Xian and Shen Zesi immediately acted according to the order, and while ordering the soldiers of Anbei Mansion to prepare, they sent urgent documents to Jingzhao and Longyouwei.

Longyou Road is on the edge of the northern frontier, and it is about three days to reach the main general of Longyouwei.

At this moment, in the tent of the main general of Longyouwei, Jiang Bowen was listening to the report of the deputy general, and what he said was that the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate sent an urgent letter.

"General, it seems that Gu Dazu has discovered the clue. Now that an urgent letter has been sent, please prepare for reinforcements from Long Youwei. At the same time, Gu Dazu also sent an urgent letter to Jingzhao. ”

Jiang Bowen's lieutenant Sheng Ziheng said this, and handed him Gu Dazu's urgent letter. The soldiers from Anbei who sent a letter just now have already briefly talked about the situation of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

"You read it to me, and see what Gu Dazu said, and how much he has discovered."

Jiang Bowen said disapprerovingly, and asked the adjutant general to open the urgent letter that should have been read by the general.

"The Turkic population has increased...... I am afraid that there will be an invasion of the Turks, and I need to prepare for the support of the Long Right Guard......" Sheng Ziheng read the content of Gu Dazu's letter, which was roughly the same as what the soldier said.

"Let's go and talk back to the soldier, and say that General Ben already knows about it and will be ready. Let him go back and give Gu Dazu his life. I'll talk about that later. ”

Sheng Ziheng took the order and left, and not long after, he returned to the main general's account. He knew that Jiang Bowen had more important things to discuss with him.

"Have you intercepted the letter sent to Jingzhao?" Sure enough, Sheng Zihengfu came in, and Jiang Bowen asked like this.

"It's been intercepted. The Anbei soldiers who delivered the letter had not yet left Lingnan Road before the letter was intercepted. What was sent to Jingzhao was a report as usual. Kyo will not know the actual situation of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

Sheng Ziheng replied. From Northern Xinjiang to Jingzhao, the middle must pass through Longyou Road. Gu Dazu's report has been intercepted. The seal of Anbei has been extended before, and the imperial court will not find the flaws.

"That's good. The baggage allocated by the imperial court to the northern frontier is already in the hands of General Ben. You have a good reception for the officers of the military department who are escorting the baggage......"

Jiang Bowen smiled. Very happy with this situation. Gu Dazu's report couldn't be sent to Longyoudao, and he deducted Anbei's baggage. If so, the Turks would not be able to do anything. Then he will have to reconsider the cooperation with Uji.

As early as the hot summer, the Turkic leader Uji had already sent people to contact Jiang Bowen, expressing his intention to cooperate with each other and share the northern frontier.

For Jiang Bowen and Gu Dazu's personal grudges, more precisely, for Jiang Bowen's ambitions, Uji still has a very accurate grasp of it.

Jiang Bowen always wanted to get 50,000 soldiers and horses from Anbei. also wanted to get the support of 150,000 people in northern Xinjiang, so he would impeach Gu Dazu in front of Emperor Changtai back then. But over the years, Gu Dazu still firmly occupies the position of the protector of Anbei. Although Jiang Bowen's eyes are hot, he can't think about it.

It was precisely because of Jiang Bowen's ambition that Wuji would try his best to get in touch with Jiang Bowen, and the plan he proposed. For Jiang Bowen. Very attractive.

Since Emperor Changtai collapsed, Jiang Bowen's ambitions began to swell. He is the uncle of the Changtai Dynasty, but now, the one who ascended the throne is Emperor Jingxing, who has nothing to do with him at all! It's just a little kid, how can he be?!

He didn't support Emperor Jingxing, and he didn't work from the dragon at all. Even, because at that time he supported the five princes Shangguan Changzhi. It also left a bad impression on Emperor Jingxing.

At the same time, Jiang Bowen also learned from Guan Nei Wei Xizuo. After the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, Yan Luzheng, the general of the Guannei Guard, went to Beijing to report on his work, and planned to sue in front of Emperor Jingxing, saying that he had deducted military salaries and supported the army for self-respect.

All of the above made Jiang Bowen feel in a difficult situation.

Ambition and these difficulties made Jiang Bowen very moved by Uji's proposal, and also prompted him to start cooperating with Uji. This time the Turks were about to invade, and it was their first cooperation.

Wuji's proposal is to let Jiang Bowen intercept Gu Dazu's report, combine the strength of the two of them, kill Gu Dazu, and divide the northern frontier equally!

Uji also promised that he would definitely make a good show with Jiang Bowen, so that Jiang Bowen would make great achievements, and the Turks would take half of the northern Xinjiang into the bag.

This is the content of their cooperation, as for the plan and details of the cooperation, with the continuous correspondence between Jiang Bowen and Wu Ji, it has gradually improved.

"General, if there is a Turkic invasion, the situation may not be under control......"

Sheng Ziheng, as Jiang Bowen's die-hard confidant, of course knew about Jiang Bowen's cooperation with Wuji, but he was never at ease about this matter.

The Turks use wild wolves as their totems, and their actions also have the characteristics of wild wolves, which are both cunning and ferocious. If they are allowed to enter the northern frontier, if they lose control, will they be eaten back?

"General Ben has his own arrangements for dealing with this matter. General Ben will agree to cooperate with Uji, of course, there will be a fight. The Turks want to take advantage of General Ben? Uji doesn't have that ability yet! ”

Jiang Bowen sneered, looking disdainful of Uji. Since he looks down on Uji, why should he cooperate with Uji?

"General Ben is going to use the Turks and Uji to make them the stepping stone of General Ben's grand hegemony. And thou shalt give the command to go down as I commanded thee......"

Jiang Bowen thought about it, lowered his voice, and told Sheng Ziheng about his arrangements.

A few more days passed, and the soldiers who went to deliver the letter to Longyouwei had already returned and brought back Jiang Bowen's reply.

Knowing that Long Youwei would be ready to support at any time, Gu Dazu was a little relieved.

When Jiang Bowen impeached him, Gu Dazu still remembered it, and he didn't like Jiang Bowen. But the Turkic matter is a major event in the Dayong army, involving the territory of Dayong, even if Gu Dazu is at odds with Jiang Bowen, he would never have thought that Jiang Bowen would exchange Dayong's safety.

But Gu Dazu's heart relaxed slightly, and with Shen Zesi's report, he immediately raised it.

What Shen Zesi reported was not the actions of the Turks, but the military baggage allocated by the imperial court. It turned out that the military supplies that should have been delivered a year ago have not yet been delivered, and Shen Zesi is worried about whether there will be problems in it.

"The military baggage has not been delivered?" At this time, there seems to be an abnormal movement in the Turks, and the military supplies of the imperial court have not yet arrived, which is really not funny.

"Quickly send a letter to Jingzhao, ask the reason, and report the situation in northern Xinjiang again!"

The sense of foreboding in Gu Dazu's heart is getting heavier and heavier, and the calamity is not a one-way street, could it be like this?

However, Zheng Xian rushed in and shouted, "Report to the general!" A large Turkic army appeared on the border, as many as 100,000 people! ”

What the? Gu Dazu and Shen Zesi's faces changed in shock! (To be continued.) )
