Chapter 241 Captured
The old man in the fifty-year-old clothes looked like a heavy date, and he was very handsome. His shout was also very powerful. As he asked, he had already walked towards Tang Li's table.
There was a scattering rush on the ground, and there was a guard standing in front of Tang Li's table, so the old man in the official clothes who had just entered did not see the protagonist of the conflict clearly. It was not until he got closer and Tang Jiu flashed to block it that Guan'er saw Tang Li clearly from this gap.
The originally full of anger was obviously stunned. While stopping, Guan'er's eyes stopped on Tang Li's face for three or four seconds. However, the change of expression of anger changed in an instant. "On the day, the Grand Secretary of the Tang Dynasty's poem "The Plum Blossom Poem into the Moon" shocked everyone. I never thought that he would meet the scholar here in the next year. It's a good way of fate, and it's really a good way of fate!" When Guan'er smiled and bowed forward to see the ceremony, his eyes were not even looking at the housekeeper on the ground, as if this person did not exist.
"Master Cao, why are you?" Since this official knew his master, Tang Jiu let him come over and saw that the person was Yang Guojiu's distant daughter's in-laws. The court's new Guan Nei Dao Observer Cao Yuan was also surprised. But after a moment, he smiled and stood up and bowed and said, "The ground of Guan Nei Dao is really evil. Just now, I talked to Brother Taibai about Lord Cao. I saw it in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, I will meet you!"
After saying that, Tang Li and Bian Su invited the seat and said sideways: "Today, the flood really rushes to the Dragon King Temple. Ajiu is all his own people, so why don't you invite this butler to get up?"
"A bastard, I won't stare at you for a while, and you, the slave, caused trouble for me, and said, "Why did you hit the Master of the Scholar?" Although Tang Li shouted, Cao Yuan did not let go. He scolded the housekeeper first and then turned his face to smile and said, "The slaves are not good. Let Master of the Scholar laugh at me!"
When the Anshi Rebellion broke out, An Sishun, the former governor of Guan Neidao, was removed from Beijing and served as a free position. His military power was transferred to Longxi governor Geshuhan, but because Geshu led the army of three roads and two towns alone, he had no time to take into account the civil affairs of Guan Neidao, the court took advantage of the situation and sent an observer to take office. Cao Yuan, the former assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, broke out among many competitors with his relationship with Yang Qi, the sons and relatives of Duyang Marquis, and was sponsored by Yang Guozhong to take up this position. A common deputy minister of the six ministries became a local chief official.
Since the butler came to the north with the master, no one in this place would greet him with a smile. Over time, he has become domineering now. Unfortunately, he kicked the iron plate today. If he didn't scratch his head, he would never expect that the person who looked like a scholar in front of him was Tang Li, the current hot Grand Secretary. Seeing that his master was also smiling, the butler who still fell to the ground and dared not get up had long forgotten the pain in his mouth. He felt a bitter heart for a moment and could not speak.
"It's just for a captain, and it should not be true." While speaking, Tang Li made a gesture to reach out to support the butler.
"A embarrassing slave, why don't you get out quickly?" How could Cao Yuan let Tang Li reach out and give orders to the housekeeper, he also looked at Tang Li sideways. However, when he saw the smile on Grand Secretary Tang's face, he felt cold. He had been in Chang'an for a long time. Tang Li knew very well how good he was to hold grudges. When Wang Zhongsi and his personal soldiers went to the Villain Building to cause trouble, Tang Li was not present and had so many things to do. Today, his housekeeper hit him in person, and he could suddenly become generous? Now refugees in the inner palace are everywhere under his own rule. If there is something wrong... Thinking of this, Cao Yuan's eyes turned cold, "Since this slave dares to act recklessly, Cao Shan, you should establish an expert law outside the restaurant. If he dares to hum, add ten sticks immediately!"
The snowy and ice, dozens of sticks were beaten down and people could bear it. It seemed that in order to make Tang Li vent his anger, Cao Yuan had made up his mind to kill this slave who was not open his eyes today.
His behavior turned against Tang Li's army. He could not say that he would persuade him again. It was not until Tang Li was angry that Cao Yuan took his life back.
After cooking these trivial matters, the three of them put the wine and talked about it again. They knew that Tang Li was actually a poet. Cao Yuan could not say that he would meet again and said something like "I have long admired the great name."
After this discussion, I realized that Cao Yuan had recently been in trouble with the country's refugees and burned and killed grain merchants. He came from Qingzhou, the place where he was stationed in Lingzhou to discuss with Geshuhan. Seeing that he was talking about this, Tang Li only smiled slightly. He knew that in terms of concern for the court, the Cao observer was afraid that the anger of his uncle was even more afraid. Cao Yuan naturally did not expect that his current trouble was caused by Tang Li, the place in front of him who was "in a moment of interest, he walked around casually."
The wine was over for nearly an hour before the end. After Cao Yuan compensated the boss for the loss three times in front of Tang Li, the three of them came out together.
Since Tang Li did not have a carriage, Cao Yuan naturally could not take a carriage and rode his horse all the way to Lingzhou.
After all, it was the place where the governor of the Shuofang Army camped, and the places where Lingzhou City were traveling were soldiers. Not long after the three men who took the lead entered the city, they heard a burst of rapid sound of horse hooves, and then a team of horses came quickly.
"This is a coincidence!", he said with a smile on his side, and Tang Li, who was riding on the horse, waved and said, "General Geshu is fine!"
The mount was stopped a few meters apart, and Ge Shuhan, who was wearing golden chain mail, turned over and dismounted and bowed to Tang Li, saying, "Don't love you, you won't be together again, I really want to send someone to find him."
"I am a civil servant who is not in military affairs. What else can I worry about your brother Shu leading his troops? Instead of coming early and having nothing to do, it is better to walk slowly on the road." After saying this sentence to express his attitude, Tang Li saw that Brother Shu Han's face looked sad, angry and anxious, and the eyes of his accompanying generals turned red again, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
It would be fine if he didn't ask, but this question made Geshu's eyes turn red all of a sudden. "Li Sheng's reinforcements were still one step slower after all. A military newspaper sent back to Fengzhou, Fengzhou broke into the city, and Mr. Wang defended the city and fought... and died in battle!" As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of mist appeared in Geshuhan's eyes, and some of the generals who were accompanying him sobbed.
"What, General Wang died in battle? Then you are..."
"I am about to go to Fengzhou to Yingling, and I will say I will neglect you and let me give you a drink and apologize after I come back!"
"Fengzhou is remote, and it takes at least half a month to go back and forth. Now, the 200,000 military commander of the three roads and two towns is dispatched by one general. How can you go?" At this point, Tang Li ignored the hatred gazes of the accompanying generals. Gu said, "Forget it, you can sit in Lingzhou to promote military affairs. I will go there on your behalf in Fengzhou."
"you go?".
"What, it's rare that I can't go?", facing Ge Shuhan's surprised eyes, Tang
: "I am the military supervisor. I am just going to do this. General. The army's corpse is safely welcomed back to Lingzhou, and 200,000 soldiers will be allowed to sacrifice to you!"
Although there are still three months left before tomorrow spring, the 200,000 troops were promoted, prepared and defended against Tubo. Now Dige Shuhan is really unable to get away, and he has no time to go to Fengzhou. However, Wang Zhongsi's identity is too special and he died for the country this time. If he did not go to welcome the spirit in person, not to mention the backbone generals Wang Zhongsi promoted that year, even more than 100,000 soldiers from the two roads of Longxi were afraid that they would be unable to calm down. The war was coming, and morale should not be released. Therefore, Ge Shuhan was in urgent need of time, and he had to go this trip.
"Now, you and I have the highest status in Lingzhou. Since you can't leave, you should go, otherwise how can you be worthy of General Wang's Yingling in Tianying!". He reached out and patted Geshu Han who was hesitating, and Tang Li Xu said, "Forget it, you send two people to guide me, and I will set off now."
...
Go north, go north, and then north, the dozen riders in this group were Tang Li and the twelve guards, plus two Central Army captains as guides. Life and death are the most important. Since it is to welcome the spirit, the sooner it is, the better. Since Tang Li took on this matter, he wanted to do his best. For him, this was really the best opportunity for him, the military supervisor to make his appearance in Lingzhou.
Originally, Geshuhan had already prepared to transfer An Sishun's five hundred Xuanjiao guards to Tang Li as personal guards, but the military newspapers sent back said that the war in Fengzhou had been decided. In order to speed up the itinerary, Tang Li did not bring Xuanjiao guards, but was guarded by Tang Jiu and others all the way north. As for Li Bai, he could not withstand such troubles and stayed in Lingzhou City when he was old. Lingzhou was located in the middle of the Guannei Road, while Fengzhou was in the northern border border border with the Uighurs. The two were separated by more than a thousand miles. On the seventh day of leaving Lingzhou, the God accidentally began to snow.
As Tang Li and others headed northward, the colder the weather became, the heavier the snow fell. When they passed Shengzhou, which was closest to Fengzhou, the snow was already covered with goose feathers.
"No, I really can't leave! Captain Wang, is there a place nearby to stay?" Tang Li, looking at the vast white surroundings, was really regretting not listening to Tang Jiu's persuasion, and was trapped in this remote place between Feng and Feng for the sake of greed.
The Captain Wang was one of the two captains who led the way this time. When he saw Tang Lidong asking, he drove his horse to the mound on the side and looked around and said loudly: "Report to you, there is a village five miles southeast."
"Okay, let's go!" Tang Li was so energetic that he heard this that Tang Li took the lead in urging the horse to leave.
Because of the heavy snow, it took half an hour to arrive in just five miles. Because Tang Li and his party were casually dressed, and they were generous in their actions, the villagers were happy to entertain.
Although he was lucky enough to escape the war this time, there was nothing to entertain. In addition, Tang Li, the villagers spoken by the dialect, did not understand very well. He had eaten after rushing for several days, washed up and went to bed.
Tang Li was awakened by the sudden shouting. As soon as he sat up in his clothes, he heard a sound from the wall, and then he saw Tang Jiu pushing the door and entering.
"Catching up with Fan Yang's army coming to Raf to collect grain, young master quickly replace this!" After entering the door, Tang Jiu put a piece of cotton from a farmhouse on Tang Li without saying a word, "I just climbed the wall and looked at it. There were no less than five brigades of troops coming, but now they can't rush out. Fortunately, they didn't kill anyone."
"Fan Yangbing? Isn't the war in Fengzhou finished?", knowing that the matter was urgent, Tang Jiu did not use any action, Tang Li quickly changed his clothes.
"The border between Shengzhou and Xiangzhou in Hedong is Xue Song's soldiers." As soon as Tang Jiu put Tang Li's satin shirt and red cloud cloak into the kang hole, with a "bang", more than ten soldiers holding single-hook spears walked in.
After these people entered the yard, some of them rushed to the kitchen to get food, while the other team took the ropes on their waists and began to "stalk people". The wind and snow were heavy, and these people were even lazy to talk. In a short while, the strong men in the yard were stringed into a string. In addition to the three sons of the owner Lao Liutou, the ones strung behind were Tang Jiu and a coarse cotton-wool-worn Tang Li.
"Don't worry, my brothers have all dressed up. They have a lot of time and are too busy to check the land." Taking advantage of the moment when the old Liu and his wife cried and snatched the sky and the earth, Tang Jiu whispered to Tang Li: "Safety is important, please bear the humiliation for a while."
As the saying goes, the south ships and the north is the horse. People in the north have many horses. This place borders the Uighurs. In addition, there are many grasses around it, so the villagers raise more horses. Because of this, Tang Li and others will not have exposed their identities because of those horses.
After all, it was a cross-border harvesting of food. These Fan Yang soldiers did not dare to stay for too long. After collecting food, the strong men and horses, they left a village crying and hurried away. Because it was Maduo who was pulled, for fear of delaying the journey, Tang Li and other civilians who were forced to come were all separated from each other.
Not long after the journey east, Fan Yang soldiers and civil servants continued to join the team. By the time they completely walked out of the inner road that afternoon, the team had as many as 8,000 rebels and nearly 20,000 civil servants.
Since the brigade entered Hedong, civil servants were constantly assigned to stay on the spot every time they passed through a prefecture and county. Fortunately, Tang Li and others were not separated. After five days of riding horses, Tang Li and other remaining 3,000 civil servants and the same number of rebels finally arrived at the headquarters of Xue Songshun’s tent, Yunzhou.
After a chaotic riot, Tang Li and others dismounted and did not wait for the assignment, they were driven to stand, and saw a girl in red not far ahead accompanied by a military officer.
"Although people use people on the stove are just chopping firewood, they are in the inner palace after all, so I won't talk about their appearance first, and I won't talk about whether they are smart or not. People must be clean, right? The third lady has just gotten her body and can't eat anything. What if she sees that the stove in the inner palace is pickled? People will not lose their appetite. When the master blames them, who can bear the responsibility?", the red girl kept scolding her while walking. It seems that she is very dissatisfied with the underground person last time she sent her to the underground.
Even if he is the general manager of the civil servant camp, facing the most favored girl around the third wife, he can only smile. "Sister Polite said, but last time I was really too hurried. I just checked 200 people this morning, so I quickly asked Sister Polite to pick it up first!"
"That's good..." The girl Tsuzu turned her head proudly, then said "Huh". After a moment, she pointed at a civilian next to her, and said in a firm tone: "Li Chanjun, I want this person..."
