Carrier pigeons with dark blue feathers are considered first-class in Chang'an.
They can often avoid hunting by some birds of prey with cleverness, and even bravely shuttle through the stormy weather, conveying the general's feelings quickly and well.
In Fufeng County, experienced military personnel can judge the importance and urgency of military information by the color of the feathers of the carrier pigeon.
Accompanied by the nightfall, it was a carrier pigeon with dark blue feathers.
The pigeon's eyes were very sharp. The moment Xu Shijie stretched out his hand, it flew down from the air and landed steadily on Xu Shijie's arm.
Xu Shijie's official rank was lower than his old age, but Fufeng County had already broken away from Chang'an's control at this time. The Tang Dynasty's official system was in name only in the entire Fufeng County. The pure military generals' real power was much greater than the officials enthroned in Chang'an.
Let me talk openly that if Fufeng County can block the offensive from Chang'an and control one side, then whether these officials in Fufeng County can still become officials and what official they are, the military will have the final say.
Xu Shijie respects his late childhood on the surface, but he doesn't think much of his heart.
These people are greedy for money and lust, and they don’t even have the idea of ​​time.
He didn't expect that Su Yanghui had no more than a few taels of meat left in his body, and had died in great desolation. According to his understanding of Su Yanghui and the people under his command, the scene in his mind was that Su Yanghui was still squirming in the field like a pile of compost meat, squirming on the woman's body.
This guy doesn't lose two kilograms of meat and doesn't play with him, he may not be willing to come back.
Xu Shijie cursed a few words in his heart, and skillfully pulled out the dense paper from the small tube tied to the pigeon's feet. He just opened it and looked at it. His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but scream, "I'm a grass."
At this moment, a laugh suddenly sounded behind him, "What kind of military situation is so beautiful, let me see it."
Xu Shijie's whole body suddenly froze, and a chill surged out of his heart, instantly frozen all over his body. He slowly turned around and saw that a young man had already sat on the chair behind the desk.
The moment he saw the young man's face clearly, he felt even more frizzy all over his body.
Su Yanghui took people to deal with the young master, but Su Yanghui did not come back at this time. The young master was able to sneak into his house without knowing anything.
He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm himself down, and then looked at Gu Liubai and asked, "Who are you?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "My name is Lu Letian. Have you heard of it?"
Xu Shijie nodded slowly, "The son of the fourth house of the Lu family in Fanyang, a doctor of the Imperial College."
Gu Liubai reached out to him, and Xu Shijie paused for a while. His true energy suddenly flowed quickly, trying to break the secret note on his hand, but at this moment, he suddenly became distracted.
He suddenly thought for no reason that when he was eating this morning, he saw a very big flower-footed spider on the locust tree.
After a moment, he came to his senses.
He found that Gu Liubai was still sitting there, without any movement, and the secret note was in his hand.
He couldn't figure out why he was distracted at such an important moment and thought of a spider that was simply insignificant.
But in the next moment, he was occupied by an inexplicable fear, and his entire vest was covered with cold sweat.
"Don't do this again, otherwise I will take this secret note directly on your body." Gu Liubai looked at him and said calmly.
Xu Shijie nodded slowly and placed the secret note in his hand on the desk in front of him.
Gu Liubai looked at the contents of the secret note and frowned unconsciously.
At this time, Xu Shijie saw two more women walking in at the door, which were the middle-aged woman and the young girl with pockmarks on her face.
Shangguan Zhaoyi whispered, "Han Qimo and his subordinates appeared on the north side of the town, and Xue Jingxian was there too."
Gu Liubai was slightly stunned, and then said, "It should be Xue Jingxian who collided with them. Xue Jingxian guessed that we were coming here. Tell the three elders and the others that you should tell Han Yumo and his subordinates not to come in first, so as to save trouble. Invite Xue Jingxian in, and there is something to discuss with him."
Xu Shijie's heart completely sank to the bottom.
He was sure that Su Yang Hou had been dealt with by these people.
But Su Yanghui brought so many people, and also contacted Qilian Hexiu's group in advance. So many people have been left in the hands of these people?
This young man, with these few people, is so terrible?
Are these clans really different from people like them in nature?
When a drop of sweat hanging on his chin finally dripped into the ground in front of him, he heard footsteps coming from downstairs.
Xue Jingxian followed Shangguan Zhaoyi, walked into the room, and then bowed to Gu Liubaiwei.
Gu Liubai replied with a bow, and then said without any nonsense, "Li Xianyu, the governor of Jiannan, was defeated by Taihe City, and claimed to be annexed to the 80,000 army."
Shangguan Zhaoyi was also surprised when he heard this, "So quickly?"
Shen Ruoruo frowned, "I knew this Li Xianyu was not good, but this was not good."
Xue Jingxian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "In addition to Heman, Pi Hetuo has hidden coalition forces?"
Gu Liubai handed the secret note to Xue Jingxian and said, "There are no other coalition forces for the time being, but the army of Jiannan Jieduo is actually only about 60,000. He had previously broken the Liuzhao's residence, and his real force had been clearly understood by Pi Hetuo."
Xue Jingxian looked at the secret note, "Pi Hetuo is cunning and good at using troops. Knowing that Li Xianyu is weak in reporting military strength, he may not be able to beat him head-on, but he still retreats to Taihe City and leads Li Xianyu to the door to die. Heman cuts off his retreat, and Li Xianyu's army cannot escape. Moreover, Pi Hetuo deliberately puts forward a sincere and peaceful attitude. According to Li Xianyu's pioneer general, he presented his wife and daughter to the death. As a result, his wife and daughter were raped. At present, Li Xianyu not only defeated the army, but also made a verbal argument for Pi Hetuo. Pi Hetuo had previously said that he was forced to rebel, but it was because local officials of the Tang Dynasty exploited him too much. Now his play made everyone in Nanzhao feel that even if he offered his wife and daughter, begging the Tang Dynasty not to attack them, it would be useless. In this way, it would be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to send any army to defeat Pi Hetuo next."
Chen Ruoruo turned his head to look at Gu Liubai. Xue Jingxian was indeed the same as Gu Liubai said before. He was not an ordinary person. Not only did he have a clear idea, but he also looked at the long-term.
She just turned her head like this, and the change of expression on her face fell into Xue Jingxian's eyes. Xue Jingxian was already aware of it, looking at Gu Liubai and said, "Are you waiting for me here on purpose?"
Gu Liubai nodded and said, "Han Yumo sent someone to report to you. I think you will definitely try to save Han Yumo and me in the opposite way. You either don't meet Han Yumo. After you meet, I guess you will come here."
Xue Jingxian couldn't help but think about who Gu Liubai was, but after thinking about it, he still held back.
Gu Liubai said, "Actually, according to the previous military situation, Pi Hetuo should have allies, and some exiled nobles in Tubo should have already entered Nanzhao."
Xue Jingxian suddenly felt aroused his heart and said, "There are no traces of the Tubo people in this battle in Taihe City. So, may the Tubo people participate in the war in Fufeng?"
Gu Liubai did not directly answer his question, and asked, "What do you want to do next?"
Xue Jingxian said: "Situ Qingcheng, Sheng Ying and others, there must be a commander behind him. They are under the banner of avenging Zheng Zhu, but what they do is not to invade Chang'an, but like Pi Hetuo, they want to split Fufeng County from the Tang Dynasty and thus support each other with Nanzhao. Since there is a certain military situation and aristocratic family such as Tubo, the person who has decided on the plan behind them will probably use Fufeng and Nanzhao to restrain the Tang Dynasty's troops and then swallow up Tubo. At that time, Tubo will be With the Feng and Nanzhao as one, a hegemony who competes with the Tang and Uighurs can appear. It is precisely because of this calculation that Situ Qingcheng and Sheng Ying want to maintain order in Fufeng County as much as possible, and do not want to damage fertile land or lose merchants. Therefore, in terms of military use, they will definitely avoid some rich towns in Fufeng County, and after the damage, they will snipe the army of Duke Pei Guo’s army, and in order to achieve such a strategic goal, they may also take the initiative to attack."
Hearing this, Gu Liubai couldn't help but interrupt and said, "So in the eyes of County Wei Xue, is Situ Qingcheng and Sheng Ying's northwest of Fufeng County an illusion?"
Xue Jingxian nodded and said, "Yes, Sheng Ying mainly commands the infantry and the archery army. According to the current situation, his army has many arrangements around the Wei River. Although the army of Situ Qingcheng is in the northwest, the cavalry is flexible. If Sheng Ying's army must take the initiative to attack, the cavalry will be able to catch up soon."
As he spoke, he knew that Gu Liubai had already thought of this. He continued, "Although Situ Qingcheng and Sheng Ying were both generals under Zheng Zhu and had outstanding features, they were not Zheng Zhu after all. The coordination between the cavalry, infantry and arrows may not be able to do a good job. You asked me what I wanted to do before. Although I am just a small county lieutenant of the Tang Dynasty, I definitely don't want Fufeng County to be separated from the Tang Dynasty. The cavalry was quickly mobilized, and the food and grass could not be accompanied by it at all times. I will try to figure out their food and grass reserves and transportation routes. They want to avoid those rich towns, and those places will not become places for the time being. I also have the opportunity to show off. They want to maintain the administration for the time being, so I will try to take the power of those county magistrates into their hands."
Xu Shijie was listening all the time, and the beads of sweat on his chin were dripping.
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "This method is good. They want to keep the things in the pot, but after saving for a long time, the things in the pot suddenly are not their own. They will be in trouble. Just doing these things, is Xue County Magistrate confident?"
Xue Jingxian nodded and said, "I have a close relationship with several prominent families. They are not stupid people. I understand the pros and cons and have some confidence."
Gu Liubai thought for a while and said, "Prince Xue, I have to remind you that the exiled nobles in Tubo, which are not their army. They are all afraid of Zanzhuo in Tubo. The army is not large, and they lose their courage. They are just a mess. The real fear of them is their money. The aristocrats of Tubo have accumulated over the generations. Sometimes when they look at a city lord who is not very good, the accumulated gold, silver and treasures are also very amazing. In war, they are actually fighting money, especially the vast majority of people in Fufeng County naturally think that they are Tang people, and they are Tang people.
Pride, Zheng Zhu's old subordinates may have received Zheng Zhu's favor on weekdays, and their blood was pouring up. With the idea of ​​revenge, they became rebels. But when they found out that they could not conquer Chang'an at all, they were not revenge at all, but wanted to occupy land to be king. If they wanted to serve the army, they would probably have to use a lot of money to fill it out. Distributing money is the most effective way to stabilize the morale of the army, and it can continuously absorb the source of troops and stabilize all walks of life in Fufeng County. These nobles liked to hoard jewelry. These jewelry were amazingly valuable, but they had to be broken into silver and used for copper. There must be some tricks here."
