Fatai Mountain, the junction of Kangle and Hezheng counties, has beautiful scenery and is beautiful and pleasant.

At the foot of the northeast mountain, a huge grass hut is set up on the side of the road, and not far in front of it is the Xiaoxia River, and more than a dozen canopy boats are parked on the river at the moment.

In the afternoon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the east side of Fatai Mountain.

The right leading guard near the grass shed and the official of Hezheng County immediately solemnly reorganized the army and stood on one side, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of cavalry had already rushed in.

"Phew!" Li Xuan, who was dressed in red clothes and gold armor, rode out from the rear, looked at more than a dozen officials of Hezheng County, frowned and asked: "What's the matter, don't the officials of Hezheng County have to do things quickly, there are so many people." ”

The transfer of grain, grass and ordnance of the army, in Hezhou, during the war, there is a post station every forty miles, and the soldiers who supply and transport grain rest and repair, and at the same time prevent someone from sneaking up on the grain road, and every post station has a team of soldiers stationed.

Before Li Xuan's right guard cavalry arrived, the men and horses of the right leading guard were responsible for garrisoning, and after the arrival of the right guard, all the responsibility of garrisoning was handed over to the right guard.

In addition, each county will send some officials to maintain local law and order, so as not to cause conflicts between the local people and the soldiers, which may cause unrest.

However, there are not too many of these officials, and there are only two or three people in each place.

But now, there are more than a dozen Hezheng counties here.

At this time, a black horse stepped forward from behind, and Kangle County Commander Huang Yu rushed to Li Xuan's side, arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, it should be the Tan County Order of Hezheng County, Tan County Order is a person from Taizhou, and he was transferred to Hezheng County to serve as a county commander last year." ”

"I see." Li Xuan looked up and saw two officials in green robes coming out of the post station with more than a dozen people at the gate of the post station not far away.

The two of them are dressed in official clothes, one is dark green, one is light green, one is six grades, one is seven grades, and the seventh grade is Tan Yuan, the commander of Hezheng County.

When they came to Li Xuan, the two officials saluted at the same time: "Xu Jia, the secretary of Hezhou, the lower official, joined the army, and Tan Yuan, the commander of Hezheng County, has seen the king of Nanchang County." ”

Li Xuan glanced back at Huang Yu, Huang Yu's face was gloomy, but he still nodded slightly.

"Why did Xu join the army here?" Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, and returned the salute with a calm face.

Xu Jia arched his hand and said: "The lower official was ordered by the Yuan Assassin Shi to come to Hezheng to welcome the prince into the state city." ”

"Into the state city?" Li Xuan's brows furrowed, looked at Xu Jia, and said puzzledly: "This king is busy with official business in Hezheng, and he is not in a hurry to go to Hezhou City, right?" ”

Li Xuan came to Hezhou, but he didn't just rush to Hezhou City to be fine, he needed to investigate the road transportation situation in Hezhou counties on the spot, and if there was anything wrong, he should immediately rectify it to ensure the smooth transfer of grain and grass, which took a lot of time.

Not only that, but basically everywhere he walked, he would replace the right leading guard soldiers with the right guard cavalry under his command.

Soon after the right leader of the guard army, he will be transferred to the front line of Diezhou, preparing to march to the plateau, and it is Li Xuan's right guard who is responsible for the logistics and transportation.

Surveying the line and solving the problem is what Li Xuan needs to do now.

He had already told Li Jinxing about these in advance, what did Yuan Ming send a record to join the army for?

"The prince acts naturally and casually in Hezhou, and the lower officials are just here to accompany the prince." Xu Jia still had a smile on his face, which made people feel annoyed, but he couldn't get angry.

Li Xuan immediately understood in his heart that what kind of escort was this, and this was obviously to spy on him.

I don't know if I'm worried, or if I think he's young and underestimate him?

After a turn of thought, Li Xuan immediately asked: "Why did you come, Bing Cao joined the army, Hu Cao joined the army, and Shi Cao joined the army?" ”

"Back to the prince, Bing Cao is now in the army camp, Hu Cao is inspecting the grain depots of various counties, Shi Cao is now in Liujiaxia, and it is really a chore to transport grain and grass against the Yellow River." Xu Jia's face was full of wry smiles, the big war was imminent, and things in Hezhou were one after another.

"The river transportation is difficult, this king has always known, and soon this king will also go to check the situation, and now, he needs to go to Hezheng County first." Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Huang Yu and said: "Huang County Order, you can send it here, you have reached the county border, come here, leave a team of cavalry and the brothers of the right leading guard to hand over, and the others ......"

Before Li Xuan's words were finished, three fast horses had already galloped from the north.

Qianniuwei, three Zuo Qianniuwei rushed to Li Xuan, then quickly stopped the horse, turned over, and handed an official document to Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, Lanzhou secret letter, urgent official letter." ”

Li Xuan solemnly took the official document, then opened it directly, and after a glance, his face couldn't help but change.

Li Xuan immediately looked at Tan Yuan, the commander of Hezheng County, and said: "Tan County Order, official business is urgent, this king needs to rush to Hezhou City urgently, leaving three hundred right guard cavalry to take over the right leading guard brothers who are transporting along the road, and the others will immediately go to Hezhou with this king." ”

Li Xuan nodded at Xu Jia, who was in the army with a blank face, and didn't say much, the next moment, he had directly turned over and got off the horse, and quickly led people to gallop in the direction of Hezhou City.

Tan Yuan and Xu Jia stood on the side of the road with a bewildered expression, looking at the nine hundred cavalry, and quickly headed towards Hezhou City.

When the cavalry left, among the cavalry of the right guard, a red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniu Wei walked out and said to Tan Yuan: "The last general, Zhang Huan, has seen Tan County's order." ”

"Didn't you leave the right guard cavalry?" Tan Yuan didn't react for a while.

Zhang Huan smiled lightly, and arched his hand and said: "What Tan County Commander said is true, it is indeed the right guard cavalry, and the last general is responsible for reporting the news in Hezheng County, if there is anything, the lower official should immediately report to the prince." ”

Tan Yuan immediately understood that Zhang Huan was here to monitor.

Or alternatively, Zhang Huan is the tentacle of the king of Nanchang in Hezheng County.

In this way, he controlled the transportation of military rations and ordnance in the entire Hezheng County.

Tan Yuan subconsciously glanced at Huang Yu, and Huang Yu nodded bitterly.

The three hundred right guard iron cavalry have taken control of everything in Kangle County.

But on the contrary, no one can refuse, because this is the duty of the king of Nanchang.

Compared with Tan Yuan and Huang Yu, who were full of helplessness, Xu Jia's eyes on the side were already extremely gloomy.

Compared with the other two, he was the most unlucky, he was ordered to watch Li Xuan, but now not only Li Xuan can't stand it, but even Kangle and Hezheng are directly controlled by the King of Nanchang.

One third of the six counties in Hezhou has fallen into the hands of the king of Nanchang.

If you count Linxia and Yongjing, which were forcibly taken over by Li Jinxing, Hezhou is now only left with the Guanghe River in the northeast and the Xiahe River in the southwest.

"The two, the official will also return to the state city immediately, so I won't accompany the two." Xu Jia bowed his hand to Tan Yuan and Huang Yu, and after the two returned the salute, he immediately quickly got on the clipper boat on the side, went down the river, and soon arrived at Hezheng County, and then rode a fast horse back to the state city It was only half a day's work.

Seeing Tan Yuan, who was standing on the shore of the Xiaoxia River, his face calmed down, and then he looked at Huang Yu with some curiosity, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Huang, what happened over there in Lanzhou?" ”

"How would I know." Huang Yu shook his head with a wry smile, but despite this, he still thought about it a little and said: "It should be the previous battle of Taozhou, who would have thought that three thousand Tubo soldiers, with a lot of hard work, arrived in Taozhou through mountains and mountains, but in the end they were directly annihilated by others, which is really unlucky!" ”

"The corpses of those people, if the younger brother remembers well, they should have been sent to Lanzhou, right?" Tan Yuan seemed to have guessed something.

Huang Yu smiled lightly and said, "Brother Tan, be cautious, now you and I only need to complete the prince's entrustment, he is not easy to fool." ”

After speaking, Huang Yu bowed his hand, Tan Yuan returned the salute, and then watched Huang Yu leave.

Standing in place, Tan Yuan looked up in the direction of Shanzhou: What happened there?

……

Nine hundred cavalry, fast horses, rushed directly to the city of Hezhou.

However, Li Xuan did not enter the city immediately, but first entered the garrison camp in Huangniwan in the south of the city, and after placing a group of right guard cavalry, he rushed into Hezhou City from the south gate with a team of thousands of cows.

At the south gate of Hezhou City, the people walked on both sides, the military situation was empty, and the Qianniu Guard cavalry rushed straight through, without disturbing the people around at all.

In the city of Hezhou, Qianniuwei is not uncommon.

Li Jinxing, as the deputy marshal of the Taohe Road march and the head of the march, also had a team of Qianniu guards by his side.

In the Hezhou Marching Governor's Mansion, Li Xuan led a group of Qianniu guards to stop directly in front of the door.

At this moment, a black carriage on the opposite side, escorted by a group of fast catchers, stopped outside the door.

Wearing a dark crimson official robe, Shi Yuanming, the Hezhou stab on the fourth grade, stepped down from the carriage.

Yuan Ming didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the marching governor's mansion, he saw Li Xuan.

With a seemingly sincere face full of hypocrisy and politeness, Yuan Ming stood not far away and waved his hand at Li Xuan on the horse.

Yuan Ming is the history of the thorn on the fourth grade, and Li Xuan is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple from the fourth grade, but he also inspected the right guard general from the third grade, and the official position is above the Yuan Ming, not to mention, he himself is the king of the dynasty from the first grade.

Yuan Ming is a lower order after all.

……

In front of the gate of the governor's mansion, Yuan Ming stretched out his hand to ask Li Xuan to go first, and then said with a smile: "I never thought that the prince would come so quickly, and the lower officials should go to the city gate to greet him." ”

Li Xuan smiled, and said as he walked forward: "Xiao Wang didn't expect it to come so quickly, but there was an urgent official document from Lanzhou, so he had to come quickly, and he originally wanted to polish some more on the road of grain, grass and ordnance, but he didn't expect the accident to come so quickly." ”

"Yes, who would have thought that Pei Shangshu would be so radical in doing things." Yuan Ming didn't expect such a change, and the situation on the front line suddenly became tense in an instant.

While the two were talking, Li Jinxing, who had already walked outside the lobby of the Governor's Mansion and was above the lobby, saw the two of them at a glance, and hurriedly beckoned and said, "Two of you, please come in, the matter now needs to be discussed urgently." ”

"I've seen the manager!" Li Xuan and Yuan Ming surrendered at the same time, although the matter was urgent, but the ceremony could not be abolished.

Li Jinxing hurriedly waved his hand, and after seeing the two of them sitting on the left and right, he made the official document out, looked at the two and said: "Lanzhou is new to the official document, Pei Shangshu sent someone to throw ten heads of the Tubo cavalry to Fuqi City three days ago, and threatened that if the Qinling does not agree to our request, he will send someone to throw ten heads every day. ”

Ten heads a day, Li Xuan and Yuan Ming's breathing suddenly became tense.

With this hand, I am afraid that the situation on the entire Qinghai Lake front line will have to be tense.

Even the pressure on Tao River was also greater.
