Standing in front of the door, looking at the back of Yuan Ming leaving, Li Jin walked to Li Xuan's side and asked in a low voice, "How does the prince plan to deal with the affairs of Hezhou?" ”

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Li Jinxing seriously, and solemnly arched his hand: "Everything depends on how the general evaluates the history of the Yuan Thorn." ”

Li Jinxing nodded in a deep voice, and then said, "Lord Wang, please come in, let's talk inside." ”

A sergeant brought hot tea, Li Xuan nodded, the sergeant quickly retreated, and Li Xuan looked up at Li Jinxing.

Li Jinxing picked up the teacup, the tea was suffocating, but Li Jinxing just sniffed, then put the teacup down again, then looked at Li Xuan, and said: "Since Ben arrived in Hezhou, the grain and grass from Lanzhou were quickly sent to Bingling Lake, and after a detailed inspection, there was no problem. ”

Li Xuan bowed slightly, Li Jin was a veteran of the battlefield, and if he wanted to do something in this regard, it was difficult to hide it from him.

Whether it is the insufficient amount of grain and grass, or the adulteration and adulteration in it, it will not work under Li Jinxing's nose.

"Before, there was a resale of military rations in Taozhou, and all the official warehouses in Hezhou Prefecture and County were opened for inspection, and there were no problems inside." Li Jinxing sighed lightly and said, "The prince should know how difficult it is. ”

"This shows that any of the slippery old officials in it who tried to do their hands and feet from the official warehouse were all tied hand and foot." Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, this Yuan Thorn History can be regarded as extremely unusual." ”

"What the prince said seems to have other intentions?" Li Jinxing was unusually keen, and he could directly hear the hidden place in Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Between states and counties, the hands and feet of officials are easy to be bound, which is feasible, but no one can bind the hands and feet of officials, even if the knife is on the neck, but now, the situation in Hezhou is different, so there is a great possibility that the missing grain and grass have been refilled......"

"Does the prince want to uncover the secret behind this?" Li Jinxing turned his head sideways and looked at Li Xuan with a suspicious face, he didn't believe that Li Xuan's gaze was so shallow.

Li Xuan shook his head decisively and said: "That's not the case, Xuan is just thinking about what to do so that the grain in the granary now can't be easily run out, after all, this year's army conquered Tubo, and the autumn harvest of the people of Taohe will inevitably be affected." The grain in the official warehouse is likely to be life-saving food, and once something happens, the whole Hezhou will be in chaos, so you must take precautions in advance. ”

Li Jinxing knocked lightly on the table, and then said: "What the prince meant, I will understand, there are several empty warehouses in the Hezhou grain depot, and now they can be requisitioned and transferred as one of the military grain transfer storages." Now, it is just enough to insert the right guard into it, and if someone really dares to do anything to the grain depot in Hezhou, it can be regarded as a rebellion, sabotage the army's conquest, and take it directly, and those who dare to resist will be directly killed. ”

Through military rations, he took all the official warehouses in Hezhou in his hands and encroached on local official power, and Li Jinxing's means were also not weak.

Li Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "In this way, these are the responsibilities of Qianniuwei. ”

"It seems that the prince knows how to operate." After a slight pause, Li Jinxing then asked: "Since the arrival of the right leading army in Hezhou, all the divisions in Hezhou Prefecture and County have been very cooperative, and the army has been running extremely smoothly, and everything needs to be maintained. ”

"The general rest assured, Xuan will make every effort to ensure that everything runs smoothly as before, even if someone jumps out to make trouble, it will be completely pacified in a very short time, the transfer of grain and grass for the army is the top priority, and the military situation will definitely not be affected." Li Xuan solemnly and seriously bowed his hand.

It is his main duty to ensure the operation of the food, grass and ordnance of the army ahead, and he will definitely not let anything happen here.

If someone really wants to grow branches, then cut off all the branches.

It doesn't matter who the person is.

"The prince's official mansion is in the East Courtyard, and everything has been prepared." After a slight pause, Li Jinxing continued: "The general will go to the military camp tomorrow to arrange the follow-up advance, and five days later, he will officially set off for Bingling Lake and prepare for the war." ”

"yes, it's going to war." Li Xuan sighed lightly.

Once the grain, grass and ordnance escorted by the right guard arrived, the false tranquility of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo's active preparations for war would be completely shattered immediately.

……

In the evening, Li Jinxing led most of the officials of the Marshal's Mansion to the Huangniwan military camp to prepare for the battle.

In the east courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion, Qiu Zhenmu, Zhou Qian, and Su Bao stood in the hall at the same time.

Li Xuan sat behind the table, handed a freshly dried official document to Su Baotong, and said at the same time: "Tomorrow, Baotong will bring people to the Assassin's Mansion and do a good job in handing over personnel and documents to the Assassin's Mansion. ”

"The last general commands." Su Baotong immediately bowed down.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at Qiu Zhenmu, and said in a deep voice: "From tomorrow, Qianniuwei and the Right Guard cavalry will be stationed in the entire Hezhou, all nodes of the six grain routes in the east and west, once the right leading army of the guard is withdrawn, the right guard must take over immediately, and nothing can go wrong." ”

"Food and grass are the top priority, and the last general understands that he will never go on a business trip." Qiu Zhenmu immediately gave up his hand.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan finally looked at Zhou Qian and said in a deep voice: "Your side is the most important. ”

Zhou Qian arched his hand, smiled slightly, and said: "It's just killing, don't worry, Zhou Gan understands." ”

"Step by step, strive to make sure that before the king goes to Kuozhou, everything in Hezhou will be completely handled, and there will be no longer any threats and hidden dangers." Li Xuan took a deep breath, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down and make arrangements." ”

"Obey!" Qiu Zhenmu, Zhou Qian, and Su Bao immediately surrendered and retired.

Li Xuan sat down behind the table again, looking at the simple official file in front of him.

Starting from Hezhou Assassin Shi Yuanming, to Sima, Changshi, Records to join the army, Liu Cao to join the army, and the six county orders, all of which are on his desk.

"The most dangerous thing is never these people on the surface, the real danger is the crocodile hiding in the invisible corner." Li Xuan flipped through all the files, and then looked into the corner ahead.

It was almost dark, and it was pitch black in the corner of the room.

"When Qianniuwei makes a move, staring at the actions of all the key figures, all the light and dark piles of Tubo in Hezhou, all have to be dug up." Li Xuan's expression was extremely cold, this time the army went to war, I don't know why, Li Xuan felt that something was wrong with the taste in the wind.

"Whoa!" In the darkness, Li Mo bowed down and walked out.

"There are also those dead piles, the deepest dead piles hidden by the Tibetan people, these will not be people with too high status, most of them are those who are usually inconspicuous, but can access the core information, such people, there will not be many such people in the entire Hezhou, find them, and then monitor them." Li Xuan knocked lightly on the table, her expression extremely solemn.

"Whoa!" Li Mo bowed again.

After a slight pause, Li Xuan's breathing began to become heavy: "What's going on over there in Lanzhou?" ”

Li Mo said calmly: "It is said that it was the suggestion of a certain soldier Cao to join the army. However, no one inside or outside the world knows who it is, so as not to be regarded as an intermediary, our people are only looking for the news that has been discovered, and there is no contact with other deeper ones. ”

"It's okay, the news on the surface is enough for analysis." Li Xuan waved his hand slightly, his face was calm, and he continued to ask: "So in Lanzhou, in the past few days, is there any news that makes people feel strange and worthy of attention?" ”

Li Mo looked hesitant, thought for a while, and said: "There is indeed one thing, some people have occasionally mentioned that Pei Shangshu can quite hear other people's suggestions on this march, even if it is not in line with his character. ”

Li Xuan's face sank slightly, then waved his hand and said, "You go, keep an eye on the Assassin's Mansion and see if there are any people who don't appear often, who will come to the door frequently in a few days and stare him to death." ”

"Whoa!" Li Mo bowed his hand, then took a step back and retreated into the darkness.

The sky outside was also completely dark, but Li Xuan had no intention of lighting a candle.

Stretching out his hand and pressing between his eyebrows, Li Xuan shook his head and said, "The temperament does not match, the temperament does not match, Pei Xingjian is not the kind of person who will easily change his style." ”

Li Xuan lowered his head, he had finally figured out the crux of the problem now, but the question was why, it was too risky and too easy to get into trouble by doing so.

If this is really the case, then Datang has made a huge change in the strategy of the entire western expedition this time.

How dare they!

Shaking his head, Li Xuan sighed lightly.

As a result, his entire plan had to be changed.

First of all, it is to take Hezhou.

……

Three tall horses, with three thousand cow guards, quickly rushed to the northeast, which was the direction of Lanzhou.

Before the military rations and ordnance from Taozhou were sent to Hezhou, the military rations and ordnance of the right leading army Wei Dajun were all transferred to Lanzhou through Lanzhou.

But now, the Lanzhou army has gathered, and more of the grain and grass are given priority to supply Lanzhou's own needs, and Hezhou is just barely supporting it.

After that, when the military rations and ordnance from Taozhou are delivered, the supply of ordnance, grain and grass from Lanzhou will be reduced to the extreme.

In the event of a war, even more so.

How could Lanzhou have the time to care about Hezhou, and the value of that grain route would immediately decline rapidly.

But that's the case, Qianniuwei under the command of the Nanchang Association is still heading over there.

This is the fifth wave of Qianniuwei that departed from Hezhou City today.

Not only Qianniuwei, but also five teams of the right guard cavalry set off to various places to assist the right leading guard army to transport grain and grass, and at the same time, they also gradually grasped the specific situation in various places.

At the north gate, a gray-clothed man quickly turned around, and it didn't take long for the news to reach the Yuan Mansion.

Yuanfu, the private residence of the Yuan family in Hezhou.

Hezhou Thorn Shi Yuanming lives in the backyard of the state government, but the rest of the Yuan family lives in the Yuan Mansion.

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a blue silk coat and a fat body quickly got into a carriage and rushed to the Thorn Mansion.

Entering the Thorn History Mansion through the side door, the middle-aged man was immediately led to the main hall, and at the same time asked, "Yuanshan, what is the master doing?" ”

The servant Yuanshan bowed slightly and said: "Back to the fourth master, the master is entertaining, it is the Qianniuwei under the king of Nanchang, and the master is personally entertaining." ”

"Personal hospitality?" Fourth Master Yuan stopped, looked at Yuan Shan with a surprised face, and asked, "Qianniuwei, what kind of person, what is the origin, do you want the second brother to entertain you personally?" ”

Qianniuwei has always been the son of the eunuch clan of the central government, and ordinary people can't enter at all.

The children of these official eunuchs, although their official positions are not high, are not easy to mess with, and it is even possible that they are directly from their own old days.

Yuan Shan bowed down and said, "It seems to be the grandson of Xing Guogong, what is Su Baotong." ”

"The prince of Wuyi County, the son of Shang Yin Fengyu Su Qingjie." Wonshan's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Su Dingfang, Xing Guogong, exterminated the Western Turks, Pinglingling, Yi Baekje, and Vagoryeo, the former general of Zuo Xiaowei of Lingyan Pavilion, died of illness a few years ago, and was the ambassador of Anji in Liangzhou, defending Tibet and controlling the armies in the northwest.

Today's Northwest Provincial Army, I don't know how many people used to be Su Dingfang's old department.

Today, Su Bao is here, and Yuan Ming has to accompany him personally.

Why did the king of Nanchang get such a person over.
