"One dead, and two more."

Under the bright sun, in the Taohe Road Marching Governor's Mansion, Li Xuan stood in front of the gate of the East Cross Courtyard, dressed in red clothes and gold armor, looking radiant.

He turned his head sideways, looked at Zhou Qian on the side and said, "After five days, the second hidden pile will also be completely removed." ”

"Whoa!" Zhou Qian immediately bowed down and agreed.

In today's Hezhou, although Qianniuwei has not actually occupied various city gates and watchtowers, the tentacles of Qianniuwei have stretched in.

No matter when, once the abnormal wind sounds, it can immediately reach Zhou Qian's hands.

What they are doing at home, Qianniuwei doesn't know, but as long as they go to the street, it will be difficult for them to fall into the eyes of Qianniuwei.

The road is stuck in a dead road, so no matter what means the others have, half of them will be abolished immediately.

From Wuzhou to Chang'an, and then to Taozhou and Hezhou, Li Xuan's usual methods have been summarized by Qianniuwei, who is most familiar with him.

"And what about the third point?" Zhou Qian couldn't help but ask.

"Leave it alone, keep an eye on it, someone will contact him, anyway, there is only one left, and we can keep an eye on it." Li Xuan sighed lightly and said, "You have to understand that our goal has never been these Tibetan dark lines, but those dead piles; When the army goes to war, only these dead stakes can obtain deadly information. ”

In the hands of the Tibetan high-level, the dead stake hidden in an unknown corner, not in contact with the outside world, and deeply hidden, is the most likely to get the most deadly news.

But these people also have a fatal problem, that is, they do not contact the outside world, so that the information they obtain cannot be sent.

As long as the point of sending letters to the outside world is strangled, then everything can be done by Li Xuan at will.

"Let's go, Dugu Zhonglang should be in Huangniwan soon, we should go to meet him." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he strode out of the governor's mansion, and the others hurriedly followed.

Soon, the governor's mansion was half empty.

When he arrived in Hezhou, Li Xuan, Yuan Ming, and even Li Jinxing, all had to go to greet him, because today, the right leader of the Wei army will all set off for Bingling Lake, preparing to go up the Yellow River and kill to Qingdong.

A team of Qianniu guards followed closely behind Li Xuan and walked slowly towards the south gate.

Li Xuan took the lead, and as soon as he walked out of the south gate, Li Xuan saw Shi Yuanming, the assassin of Hezhou, who was sitting on the horse, and the Yuan Lieutenant on the side.

"I've seen the Yuan Envoy." Li Xuan sat on his horse and bowed to Yuan Ming.

"I've seen the prince." Yuan Ming smiled gently and bowed his hand back, and then pointed to Yuan Wei beside him and said: "This is my Erlang, he said that when he was in Chang'an, he had seen the demeanor of the prince. ”

"Yuan Wei has seen the prince!" Yuan Wei waved his hand at Li Xuan with an excited expression, and said: "The student was fortunate to see the prince doing "After Dengke" in the Qujiangchi Poetry Club: in the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. It's inspiring. ”

"It seems that Brother Yuan Xian, this is also the idea of the title of the gold list!" Li Xuan smiled, urged Ma and Yuanming Yuanwei father and son to move forward slowly, and said at the same time: "This king has a guess, whether it is true or not, Brother Yuanxian just listens to it." ”

"Please advise the prince." Yuan Wei immediately stood up, and even Yuan Ming on the side listened carefully to Li Xuan's words.

"If this king's guess is correct, I am afraid that the number of Jinshi admitted to the imperial examination next year will be more than this year." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Yuan Ming, nodded, and said, "It's like this year's imperial examination, and the number of admitted students is several more than last year." ”

"What does the prince mean is that in order to cope with the results of the First Battle of Tubo, the imperial court will increase the number of Jinshi admitted, and then send these Jinshi to the northwestern states?" Yuan Ming is worthy of being an old and spicy person, and in one sentence, he understood Li Xuan's meaning.

Li Xuan nodded seriously and said: "Isn't this the case this year, this year's quota for the imperial examination is six more than last year, and there are many people who originally thought they couldn't pass the exam, but they suddenly got on the list, and this king didn't think of this at first, but then he thought that the champion was Cheng Xingmou from Longyou, and he knew it in his heart." ”、

Cheng Xingmou, a native of Zheng County, Shaanzhou, his father Cheng Gu, the commander of Longqiu County, was born in a poor family.

After Cheng Xingmou won the championship, the people of Longyou were jubilant and happy more than usual.

Although the family in the world was dissatisfied, fortunately, this time there were more places to admit to the imperial examination than before, and after complaining a few words, it was gone.

After all, there is a precedent for the Zheng family in Xingyang, who dares to come nonsense.

Hearing Li Xuan say this, Yuan Wei's eyes suddenly became eager, although he was born in the Yuan family, but the fortune of the imperial examination is always a little worse, if he can be lucky in the imperial examination next year, and take one or two more, his hope will be much greater.

"No matter how much you increase the number of places, you have to keep up with your own level." Yuan Ming glared at Yuan Wei and said unceremoniously: "Every year a genius is born, who knows who it will be next year?" ”

Li Xuan glanced at Yuan Ming with a smile, and finally hit the horse, and quickly headed towards the Huangniwan military camp.

Yuan Ming took a step behind, glanced at Li Xuan, and then looked at his son.

He knew in his heart that he was being pinched.

How can the number of Jinshi places be so easy to get, even if the election is expanded next year, there will not be more than three or two people.

Yuan Ming knew what his son's ability was, and it was indeed between these three or two people, but these three or two people never learned by talent, but by what the court needed.

Or more directly, it depends on what he Yuan Ming can do for the imperial court.

Yuan Ming, as the history of Hezhou Thorn, is qualified, has a deep foundation in Hezhou, and has seriously cooperated with the imperial court in the transfer of grain and equipment, but he is only qualified.

It's not enough, it's not enough.

The hidden power of the Yuan family was not used much in this battle at all, the emperor could see it, and the king of Nanchang could also see it.

The Yuan family needs to put more effort into the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

Yuan Ming wants to keep his bottom line, but in Hezhou today, he doesn't necessarily have the final say.

"Let's go." Yuan Ming threw the horse rope, and the next moment, he had already followed Li Xuan closely, and the team of people and horses rushed to Huangniwan at the same time, and countless dust shook up on the ground.

When the crowd had completely left, the people around them rushed towards the city.

It was at this time that three middle-aged men dressed in black coarse cloth and dusty servants also entered Hezhou City.

The man at the head gently skimmed his mustache and squinted his eyes to look over the city gate.

A Qianniuwei happened to stand on top of the city gate, the two sides looked at each other, and Qianniuwei nodded slightly.

The man smiled lightly, and in the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared into the crowd.

……

Two thousand right leading cavalry marched out of the barracks neatly and neatly towards the southwest, and they were about to drive to the southwest of Linxia, taking the mountain road straight into Kuozhou.

They would enter the south bank of the Yellow River halfway through and join up with another force.

Li Jinxing, dressed in black clothes and black armor, stood solemnly in front of the camp gate.

Looking at the right guard foot soldiers gradually gathering in the southeast and arranging the formation, Li Jinxing nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Li Xuan on his side and said: "I heard that the prince trained in Hangzhou for three months, and finally trained these three thousand Hangzhou guards, and now they can arrive in Hezhou on time from Chang'an without missing a person, which is already good." ”

"Although it is a new army, the belief of the people of Jiangnan to serve the country is the same." Li Xuan looked at the golden-armored general at the front of the right guard formation, and said in a deep voice: "General Dugu Zhonglang is quite level, more than 3,000 people, carrying ordnance, grain and grass, and arriving in Hezhou on time is also a merit,"

"Hmm!" Li Jinxing nodded and said: "In ten days, the army will march from Kuozhou to Qingdong, and the logistics and grain must keep up, and at the same time, it is also necessary to guard against the surprise attack of the Tubo cavalry, and everything depends on the prince." ”

"The general can rest assured that Xuan will ensure that the grain and grass will arrive in time and safely, and that the army will be required for combat without delay." Li Xuan's expression was completely solemn.

In their partial division, Li Xuan has 5,000 right guards under his command, who are responsible for logistics; Li Jinxing led 7,000 right leading army guards to go up the Yellow River, out of Kuozhou, to Qinghai and Hunan; The right leader Wei Zhonglang led 3,000 troops to Heiya Changzhi, south out of Hezhou, on the plateau, and then detoured to Qinghai Hunan.

But on the opposite side of them, the Tibetans claimed to have 300,000 gathered around Wuhai.

The destination of Li Jinxing and Heiya Changzhi is between Wuhai and Fuqi City, and it is more inclined to Wuhai, and it is even very likely to go straight to the left rib of the Tubo army.

Although the left-wing army of Tibet does not have as many as 100,000, there are always 40,000 or 50,000.

Fortunately, there are many mountains and rivers in Qingdong, and the terrain is narrow, and the military strength of both sides cannot be exerted.

But if they don't rush out of the Qingdong Mountains, their partial division can only play a role in interference at most, and the effect is limited.

The emperor sent them, 15,000 people, a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, not just for them to interfere with Tibet, but for them to play a role.

Therefore, they still have to be killed, but at that time, if they can't get in touch with the positive Pei Xingjian and kill at the same time, then their 10,000 people will be equivalent to meat buns beating dogs, and there will be no return.

There are also logistics grain, grass and ordnance, which must also be delivered in place, which is Li Xuan's responsibility.

The pressure on everyone's shoulders is heavy, and no one takes it lightly.

At this time, if you do something out of the ordinary on the front line, kill a few people, and no one will say anything.

In an instant, Li Xuan and Li Jinxing had already looked at Yuan Ming at the same time, and Hezhou Thorn Shi suddenly felt a tingling of his scalp.

……

Li Jinxing led the right army to lead the army of the right guard to leave the state city and go to the west of Linxia City, and Dugushan led the army of 3,000 right guards to enter the Huangniwan military camp.

The military shape spreads, but there is no confusion at all.

As soon as the three thousand right guards were properly placed, the three hundred elite horsemen suddenly rushed out of the barracks, chased them in the direction where the right leading guard army went, and began to take over the grain road.

In the big tent, Li Xuan sat behind the central table, Dugushan, Qiu Zhenmu, Yan Tao, Li Yi, and two right guard captains stood on both sides.

Yu Ze, He Zhizhang, Zhuge Minghui and others, sitting a few feet on both sides, quickly recorded Li Xuan's words and deeds.

"The army came from Chang'an, and it was hard all the way, but it rested for five days, and after five days, it set off for Bingling Lake one after another, with the Hangzhou soldiers going first, and the Yongzhou soldiers marching behind." Li Xuan looked at Xing Yantao and Li Yi, and the two of them immediately stepped forward and arched their hands: "Huh! ”

"This king will also go with him, after this king leaves, Dugu Zhonglang will sit in Hezhou, Qianniuwei Zhou Qian cooperates, if there is anyone who interferes with the grain road, he will be imprisoned immediately, and those who destroy the grain road will be killed!" Li Xuan turned to look at Dugushan and Zhou Qian, and the two of them stepped forward at the same time and arched their hands: "Obey the order." ”

"After the army is killed from Kuozhou, Tubo will inevitably attack Kuozhou from Qingnan, General Qiu Lang, when you lead a thousand soldiers to help defend the city." Li Xuan looked at Qiu Zhenmu.

Qiu Zhenmu stepped forward at the same time and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order." ”

"This king led a thousand cavalry and a thousand Hangzhou soldiers, followed by the right leading army guard, to ensure the safety of the grain road at any time, and at the same time to support and respond at any time." After speaking, Li Xuan stood up, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, in this battle, Datang will win." ”

"Datang will win, our army is mighty!"
