Ten days later.

The news of the crown prince's accession to the throne reached Hanzhou.

After Qin Huaidao received the information, he locked himself in the study and thought behind closed doors, and no one was seen.

The Tang Dynasty changed hands, the court will inevitably have another situation, not to mention anything else, the eldest grandson Wuji was named the Tai Lieutenant and inspected the school in the book order, Zhishangshu, Menxia Province, the army, Zhongshu, Menxia, Shangshu The three provinces are all grasped with one hand, the real one person is below, and tens of thousands of people are above.

Shangshu Province and Menxia Province were originally under the management of Fang Xuanling, but the imperial court gave an irrefutable reason, Fang Xuanling was sick at home and could not manage the government, and now the foreign enemy is invading, the government affairs are urgent, and he can't afford to delay, which means that Fang Xuanling was excluded from the game, and the eldest grandson Wuji monopolized the power.

The eldest grandson Wuji has been in charge of the ministry for many years, his prestige is very heavy, his protégés are innumerable, and his family is even richer than the country.

What Qin Huaidao didn't expect was that Niu Jinda, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, can be regarded as the highest level of civil and prose officials, from the first product, he can set his own shogunate and staff subordinates, and enjoy the same treatment as the three divisions and the three dukes.

A military general was named a civil official, but he was in charge of guarding the military affairs of Chang'an, and things were very strange.

Niu Jinda, this person Qin Huaidao has dealt with several times, he is a decent person, cherishes soldiers, does not take power, and is also loyal to Li Er, why did he fall to Li Zhi? Is it the meaning of the holy?

What's even more strange is Wu Shi Tong, a governor of Lizhou who was promoted to an auxiliary general, took over the defense of the Great Wall to resist the Turks, and was promoted several levels in a row, Qin Huaidao thought of the woman in Ganye Temple, did she jump out and make trouble again?

After weighing it, Qin Huaidao's gaze fell on the map.

Wu Shi Tong was born in business, funded the Tang Dynasty Duke Li Yuan Jinyang to raise troops and meritorious, ranked among the "Taiyuan Yuanmou Meritorious Heroes", the official to the Ministry of Industry, Feng Ying Guogong, Li Shimin ascended the throne after successively served as the governor of Yuzhou and Lizhou, considered a civil official, although he has some talents, but can hold the Great Wall defense line?

Qin Huaidao couldn't help but look at the two people mentioned in the intelligence, Li Sixing and Li Gaoqian, who served as the left and right deputy marshals of Wushi Tong, in his memory, these two people followed Li Yuan's cavalry, and their military achievements were impressive, and they both had been hussar generals, and they were considered to be people who knew soldiers, but they were old, and they actually got together with Wushi Tong?

With the assistance of these two veterans, the front line of the Great Wall should not be a big problem.

The situation changed greatly, and if the imperial court repelled the Turks and Tibetans, sending troops would be suspected of invasion and rebellion.

"Are you still sending troops?"

Qin Huaidao looked at the map and was silent for a long time, his mind uncertain.

After some weighing, Qin Huaidao slammed his fist on the table, got up reluctantly, and strode out of the study.

Outside the study, the soldiers were waiting, and they looked at each other eagerly.

As a military general, who doesn't want to expand the territory and make a name for himself in the world?

Li Jing stepped forward and solemnly reminded: "King Han, the situation has changed, but think twice, otherwise you will bear a lifetime of infamy." ”

"Needless to say, I've made up my mind."

Qin Huaidao raised his hand to interrupt and looked at everyone.

When everyone saw that this posture was going to continue fighting, they all became excited.

Li Jing also understood everyone's thoughts, why didn't he want to fight, but he couldn't fight Datang, this is the bottom line, and it is also a matter of principle, and he still wants to persuade, seeing that Qin Huaidao's eyes are firm and sharp, he obviously has made a decision, sighed, said no more, and retreated.

"Everyone!"

Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice: "The crown prince Li Zhi ascended the throne, how can this king not go to congratulate? The king's wife should also be taken home, this trip to Chang'an is just to congratulate, marry, and escort the caravan over by the way to save the livelihood of the people in Hanzhou, but if anyone dares not to open their eyes, our knife is not vegetarian. ”

"Good!"

"Daohe, get married!"

Everyone shouted excitedly, this reason is above board, no one can find fault, as for whether to fight or not, didn't you say, whoever dares not to open his eyes, he will plan, as for what is called not opening his eyes, is it not open his eyes, who does not open his eyes, is it not everyone who has the final say?

When Li Jing heard it, he didn't directly raise the anti-flag, it was reasonable to congratulate and marry the princess and princess, and it was also the duty of the Han king of the imperial court, as for leading troops in the past, it was against the etiquette system, it was not safe on the road during the war, and it was not normal to escort the caravan to Hanzhou?

The teacher is famous, who can say anything? A heart is completely let go.

Seeing that no one objected, Qin Huaidao continued with a cold face: "Luo Tong, Duan Zhan, Cheng Chubi!" ”

"In!" Luo Tong and the three of them came out of the crowd and solemnly clenched their fists.

"Order your three soldiers to send to Tibet, act according to the plan, this battle is only to create panic, seize grain and grass, and capture people, there must be no mistake." Qin Huaidao ordered.

"Obey!" The three of them were overjoyed.

Luo Tong is happy when he hears the war, he can fight a battle, or he is an independent leader, and he is excited to think about it.

Duan Zan held this breath in his heart, looked at the direction of Tubo and muttered to himself: "Brothers, I am going to see you soon, I dare not forget the original hatred, it's time to be ashamed." ”

As for Cheng Chubi, he has been waiting for the opportunity to lead the army to prove himself, and become the leader of an army like other brothers.

"Wei Guogong, Su Dingfang!"

"In!"

"Order the two of you to lead the troops to the north, be sure to take the fortresses of Yinzhou and Xizhou, and rob the Tubo army of heavy grain and grass, once the main Turkic force retreats, there is no need to intercept, just let it go, this battle is mainly based on Wei Guogong."

"Obey." The two replied solemnly.

"Xue Rengui!"

"In!"

"Send troops to attack Yecheng, take it and pay equal attention to suppression, all the cattle and sheep of the surrounding tribes, and the population will be moved to Hanzhou, and the army will retreat to Khotan, this battle should be quickly resolved, like lightning, and disappear with one blow, so that the Turks can't figure out the details, and they don't know who did it, it can be a blitzkrieg."

"Obey!" Xue Rengui was a little transparent, and his eyes were shining.

"Li Dejian, Li Yixie, Cheng Xiaomei, Wei Chi Ling'er, Wang Xuance."

"In!" Li Dejian's five people came out of the crowd, clenched their fists and bowed.

"Order Li Dejian to sit in the Hanzhou Palace, coordinate the overall situation, Wang Xuance assists in civil affairs, Li Yixie, Cheng Xiaomei and Wei Chi Ling'er assist in guarding the safety of the royal city, there must be no mistake, the royal city is the foundation, please."

Wang Xuance has a flexible brain, and the batch of Jinshi candidates who were dug up were all brought by Wang Xuance, who was regarded as a civil official of the Han Palace, and it was most suitable to assist Li Dejian in charge of civil affairs.

As for safety, with a general like Li Yixie, plus Li Dejian's art of war, and the assistance of Cheng Xiaomei and Wei Chi Ling'er, there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is no problem to defend the high and strong Han King City.

"Obey!"

The five of them solemnly replied, although they failed to go to battle with the army, it was also a great honor to stay in the royal city, and it was Qin Huaidao's trust, which could not be disappointed.

"Where are Fang Yiai, Luo Zhang, Luo Ying, and Luo Wu?"

"In!" The four named people were listed.

"With Luo Zhang as the vanguard, Fang Yiai as the Chinese army, Luo Ying and Luo Wu Gong guard the Chinese military tent, converge An Guogong and Cheng Chumo along the way, go to Longyou, go to Chang'an to congratulate, and marry."

"Obey!" The four of them replied solemnly, murderous.

Qin Huaidao said and looked at Cheng Yanjin, and advised: "Lu Guogong, the Yumen Pass will be handed over to you." ”

"Don't worry." Cheng Yanjin replied solemnly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is related to the future of Hanzhou, we have to fight, prepare separately, and sacrifice the flag in three days."

"Obey!"

Everyone shouted loudly, and the momentum was overwhelming.

……

A small road in Liangzhou.

A force was desperately on the road, dusty and exhausted.

It was Xu Shiji who was the leader, a battle armor full of blood, unkempt, bloodshot eyes, and endless hatred, suddenly stopped and shouted to the people behind him: "Brothers, hurry up, hurry up, climb over the mountain in front of you and rest." ”

"Jiang Jun, the brothers really can't run." A lieutenant shouted with a bitter face.

"If you can't run, you have to run, the brothers didn't die on the battlefield, they died in the fight with the Turks, could it be that they died at the hands of their own people? Those bastards are in hot pursuit, and they will catch up with their talking skills, and they must be thrown off to survive. ”

The lieutenant shouted: "General, you take the people to go first, stay if you can't walk, fight with them, and buy time for the general." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, even if you stay, it's an old man." Xu Shiji yelled.

A Zhonglang general ran up and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the court is unkind, if you want to put me to death, there are so many brothers who have fallen, and there can be no more dead people, this revenge must be avenged, only by living and finding the King of Han, we will have the opportunity to take revenge, ask for an explanation for the brothers who died tragically, and run up." ”

"Yes, revenge!"

"We want revenge!"

"Let's all run."

The soldiers shouted one after another, cheering each other on, and the speed suddenly became much faster.

Zhonglang General looked at Xu Shiji and said in a low voice: "General, after all, he is flesh and blood, it is not a matter to run like this, not to mention that the brothers lack food and clothing, and the road ahead is dangerous." ”

"It doesn't matter, there are Tubo or Turkic people along the way, and those who pick up a single person will kill all the way to the past, and we will not die in the battle of the Great Wall, and we will survive in the first battle of the imperial court, and we can also live this way, and we must live." Xu Shiji said murderously, his eyes looking in the direction of Chang'an were full of murderous intent.
