Speaking of which, this matter is also strange, what is the transaction between the Li family and Huo Gang in Longxi, there will be so much trade, and in the past few months, at least enough grain for two or three hundred thousand people has been transported to eat for two or three years, and An Xinggui doesn't care about these grains, because it can't affect their An family, and it can't affect the people.

However, there may be a famine this year, so recently, the Li clan in Longxi has reduced the sale of grain, but the other things are constantly being transported to Huo Gang's territory, what slag, some salt, wood, cloth, raw silk, coarse linen, paper, etc. are constantly being transported to Huo Gang's territory.

But there are not many things they pull back, but there is a lot of woolen cloth recently, this thing An Xinggui has already seen, nothing, there are only benefits and no disadvantages for the people of Liangzhou, so An Xinggui naturally will not do anything.

It's just that I don't know why, An Xinggui always has an illusion, that is, his news seems to be unconsciously blocked in this Liangzhou, and it seems that someone is constantly blocking their An family's way to get news, but he sent people to check seriously, but he couldn't find anything.

And this time, this new order made An Xinggui feel even more weird, and Li Er personally ordered the replacement of the Hussar General of the Unification Army of Suoyang City.

The unified military government is the military system of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty adopted the government military system, based on the peasant households of the uniform field system, and set up 634 military offices in various provinces, prefectures and counties in the world.

As a border fortress, Suoyang City in Guazhou has a total of 2,000 elite soldiers in the unified military government of Suoyang City, and a hussar general is set up as the unified army. Don't ride a general for a chariot. Suoyang City is a fortress on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and the government soldiers here are different from other places in that a considerable part of the government soldiers here are elite soldiers drawn from Guanzhong.

It is not completely composed of local farmers, after all, the population of this Guazhou is not large, and it is not possible to send so many young and strong men to serve as elite soldiers, and the border has just been stabilized not long ago, and the loss of young and strong people itself is relatively serious, and there were Turks, Tuyuhun and others who continued to come in to burn and loot, and these soldiers naturally sacrificed.

Therefore, these government soldiers are more supplemented by Guanzhong, but they are only partially supplemented, and the hussar general of the unified army here is also his An Xinggui's person, or some of the generals in the entire Guazhou Liangzhou have a relationship with him An Xinggui, and it is impossible for everyone to have a relationship with him, but it is normal to give him some face.

After all, who made An Xinggui the biggest head in the entire Liangzhou Guazhou, but when An Xinggui started, he was not considered to have a high prestige, so over the years, although he has made achievements in the army, it is impossible to completely rule this side of the fortress under his control.

After all, he is more prestigious than Li Er, and it is impossible to compare it for the time being, and among the high-level generals in charge of this pass, several of them are Li Er's cronies, but most of the time, these people are also willing to give An Xinggui a face.

But this time, Li Shimin surprisingly directly transferred a government of elite soldiers from Guanzhong, directly replacing all the government soldiers in the entire Suoyang City.

It is said that it is to strengthen the defense of the border passes, this An Xinggui does not believe it, if it is really necessary to focus on strengthening, it will not be something that can be solved by 2,000 elite soldiers.

And also sent a new hussar general, this new hussar general is named Chai Zhewei, this year is only nineteen years old, but the military merits are already there, and he should also be this hussar general, because this Chai Zhewei and his father are the current right guard general Chai Shao! is the husband of Princess Pingyang, the sister of the current emperor Li Shimin, who is Princess Pingyang? The first woman to be buried with military rites.

But is that so? Anyway, An Xinggui couldn't figure it out, but Chai Zhewei had already greeted him, although he was said to be the Duke of Liangguo, and he was also on the same level as Chai Zhewei's father Chai Shao, but An Xinggui naturally couldn't make a mistake in this regard.

It looks the same, but can it actually be the same? He An Xinggui is on one side, but what about Chai Shao? As soon as Li Shimin came to power, he worshiped Chai Shao as the general of the right guard, and the relationship between the two sides did not need to be thought about to know that Chai Shao's status in Li Shimin's mind was higher than that of his An Xinggui.

Of course, you have to say who is important, An Xinggui still feels that he is more important at this point, after all, he is also stationed on the frontier for the entire Tang Dynasty.

What does it mean that Chai Zhewei is arranged here, An Xinggui is really a little puzzled, he thinks that the most likely thing is that he is afraid that Chai Zhewei will not come over to mix the military industry? Arrangement from Chai Shao? After all, I have Turks and others here to plunder, and in the current state of Datang's overall policy to maintain stability, I am the best place to accumulate military industry.

I can't figure it out, An Xinggui can only think about it, although it is said that the military defense of Suoyang City has been handed over to Chai Zhewei, but An Xinggui doesn't care, after all, their various logistics materials still need to be replenished by themselves.

However, what An Xinggui didn't know was that after taking over the military post in Suoyang City, in Chai Zhewei's general's mansion, he was saluting someone at the moment. "The last general has seen General Li Jili."

"Hmm. Virtuous nephew excuse me, I am not a military officer now, so you don't call me a general, and I will need more cooperation from you in my mission in Suoyang City in the future. Li Ji said with a smile.

"Yes, Uncle Shi, please rest assured, my nephew will not delay His Majesty's entrustment." Chai Zhewei said very simply, he knew very well what his mission was here, his father had already explained to him before he came, and after coming here, he handled some daily patrol tasks by himself, but the real major matters were all in charge of Li Jilai.

And His Majesty didn't want An Xinggui to know about this, otherwise, he wouldn't have let him directly lead a guard to directly replace the entire defense of Suoyang City, because he was afraid that An Xinggui would have the eyes and ears of these soldiers.

"Well, I came here secretly this time, and you should already know that I don't want anyone to know that I'm here without revealing my identity." Li Ji said seriously.

"Nephew understands."

"I don't need my nephew to arrange a few people for Uncle Shi, otherwise, Uncle Shi's safety may not be guaranteed." Chai Zhewei said.

"Okay, when I rode a horse to fight with your father, your kid hadn't been born yet, you don't have to worry about my safety, and I brought someone here this time, so you don't have to worry." Li Ji shook his head and said.

"If Uncle Shi has any questions, just inform his nephew directly through the means we agreed upon before."

"Well, this Wu Clan's Pharmacy in the west of Suoyang City is my temporary station, and if you have important information, you can also send someone there." Li Ji said.

"Nephew understands."

After saying hello to Chai Zhewei, Li Ji quickly found an opportunity to leave here, in this Suoyang City, Li Ji had already sent someone to buy a pharmacy in advance, and it could not be said that he bought it, this Wu's pharmacy was directly opened by him looking for his own family's industry.

Li Ji is not from a wealthy family, but his family is also a wealthy family, and there are naturally talents in business, and this time among these people who followed Li Ji, except for a few stewards who are diehard loyalists of the family, the others are loyal and reliable soldiers that Li Ji is looking for in the army.

Thanks to the recent flow of caravans from Liangzhou in Guazhou in this pass, there are more of them and they will not attract anyone's attention at all, and the first batch of more than 300 people have been scattered to the city and started different businesses.

But for now, Li Ji did not let them act, but waited for the second group of people to come, and Li Ji would let them act.

Although Li Ji is not clear about this intelligence collection work, Datang is not completely without intelligence departments, but these intelligence departments in the past all relied on intelligence departments under the Ministry of War.

And this time, His Majesty made it very clear to him, he wanted this intelligence department to be independent of all departments and directly report to him, which was the only one before, and at present, although he was only in charge of the intelligence of the Western Regions.

But to put it bluntly, it was just for him Li Ji to build a framework, and then this intelligence department would inevitably be promoted to the whole country, and the intelligence it collected would not only be limited to the military, such as some intelligence from various families would inevitably be collected.

For this reason, before coming, Li Ji thought carefully at home, it is not so easy to inquire about the news of these families, the thousand-year-old family is not talking about playing, but it is not completely without opportunities.

But what Li Ji needs is that he has to send a group of people to these families first, become the slaves of these families, and break into their families, and these people can't be some of their soldiers.

Because these soldiers don't understand anything, mainly because they are illiterate, it is not easy for them to pass on a message, and if their minds are not very clever, they will not be able to climb to an important position in these families, so Li Ji has asked some reliable people to adopt a group of orphans before he came out, and it is easiest to start from these orphans.

These wandering orphans live in harsh conditions, and as long as they are fed, and their weaknesses are grasped, it is easy to raise them to be faithful, especially if they are still working for His Majesty.

"The owner." Li Ji returned to the pharmacy, and the shopkeeper inside immediately bowed and saluted.

"Did you inquire clearly?" Li Ji nodded and asked directly, this pharmacy has not yet opened, so it is naturally his own people here.

"I inquired clearly, now Huo Gang ...... Or that the Han is already very famous in this Suoyang City, because from the Yumen Pass on this side of Suoyang City, outside our Datang territory, it will enter the Dahan territory. The shopkeeper immediately spoke, "And he has completely ruled all the Turks except the original Great Han, and eliminated all the horse thieves who were originally active outside the Yumen Pass." ”
