On that day, when Tang Li returned to Beijing, he went to Tongguan to meet Gao Xianzhi. After Feng Changqing, he stationed 100,000 Jiangnan Town Army and 60,000 Henan Road New Army began to be fully renovated. Two days later, Tongguan's 60,000 troops led by Gao Xianzhi and headed straight for Hedong Road. At the same time, the 40,000 new troops on Henan Road also used the long-prepared boats to cross the Yellow River to the north to Hedong and Hebei Road junction. As these two originally defensive troops headed north one after another, the large counterattack of the imperial court to combat the rebellion officially began.

Although the military supervisor of the Xingzhou Military Control Commission of Hebei Province has been instigated from all walks of life, Tang Li still did not receive any exact news from Li Tengjiao and the Black Heaven King. In addition to the interrogation of the official and military forces, with the further intervention of the dark line forces, their advantages of mingling among the people gradually developed, and the news became more and more accurate and finer. In just a few days, under the deep digging and fine farming of the dark line, the route maps that Li Tengjiao took after leaving the capital that day were drawn, and a certain month passed by Mo.

The land, even stayed in that inn, and all the dishes they ate were clearly visible. After all, their group was too eye-catching. Not to mention the white tiger, the appearance of Li Tengjiao and the unintentional wealth and aura were enough to impress those who had seen it. However, with the further refinement of the information, Li Tengjiao and his group's traces disappeared after entering Shengzhou Prefecture, and the corresponding time coincided with the time when the barbarians crossed Yinshan to plunder.

Looking at the conclusion drawn after repeated confirmation of the hidden line, although Tang Li tried his best to maintain peace, his heart was already burned. Whether Li Tengjiao stayed in the inner road, Hebei road, or even the Uighurs across the Yinshan Mountains, with his current identity and secret line arrangement, he could still be rescued. But if she was really taken away by the barbarians, no matter how powerful Tang Li is now, what he can do is almost zero. These barbarians are abandoned people of all ethnic groups in the northern part of Yuguan. They have lived in the mountains for many years and have few communications with the outside world. The occasional dispatch is also to rob the necessities of salt and iron. It is difficult for those who find them. Not to mention the pressure from the official forces, these people may not be able to take this trick. Facing them, even the secret lines that have developed extremely successfully in the north in recent years are powerless. In this situation, Li Tengjiao and the Black Heavenly King have been missing for more than ten days...

Shaking his head and trying hard to get rid of the ominous speculation. After spending tens of days of hard work, Tang Li looked up at Yuzhu, who was coming soon in the morning, and said in a hoarse voice: "The hidden line can do this in just a few days, Yuzhu, you have done your best."

"Miss is my master. I wish I could use my body to replace him now, and I regret why I have ignored this barbarian in the past two years!" Speaking of Li Tengjiao, Yuzhu, who has been a man of killing for many years, couldn't help but have red eyes.

"I went to Guannei Road for more than half a year to be a military supervisor. I don't know that there is such a group of people across Yinshan. You must be blamed for this matter, and you don't have to blame yourself." After gritting my teeth, Tang Li calmed down his emotions and mind. "These people live in the mountains all year round. They may be able to support themselves, but they cannot produce iron and salt. If they say they rely on plunder... I have sent a letter to ask the two generals of the first and last towns of Shengzhou in detail. Although the barbarians have plundered many times, they have not succeeded many times, especially after the place is prepared in recent years. So they will definitely find another way to find a way to avoid this part of the vacancies."

"What the young master is talking about is merchants?"

"Yes! Although the mountains in the northern part are very cold, there are many good things, such as ginseng and mink, which can be exchanged for a large price in the Central Plains. This is obvious. Those profit-seeking merchants will not be unable to see it. Yuzhu, your current task is to find these people and let them pass on the message to the barbarians. As long as Tengjiao and the Heavenly King are still alive, I will accept the price of redeeming people, including salt, iron tools, and even single-hook spears and crossbows. As long as they release people, I will give them whatever they want."

"What if..." Yuzhu's words were just spoken, and Tang Li's sudden eyes thorned, he could no longer say it. Since he was married to the Tang Mansion as a maid, Yuzhu has never seen her gentle young master with such a fierce look.

Tang Li took a long breath to suppress the irritability and impulse in his heart, and a hoarse voice sounded: "No matter what method you use, be sure to let the merchants from the place where the message are sent to bring your people into the mountain, remember the terrain of the gathering place of the barbarians and the road to in and out. If there is really a way out, Tang Li paused for a moment and continued in a hoarse voice: "If there is really a way out, from old to young, I will slaughter all these abandoned people and use the Blood Sea Corpse Mountain to see Jiaoer and the others off!"

"As far as the young master's instructions, I'm going now!" When I got up and was about to leave, Yuzhu didn't dare to look at Tang Li in the eyes.

"Slowly, you go to the north and pass on messages to the elders around A San. I have supported them for so long. It's time to repay them. If they do their best to do their best in the Jiaoer land, even if all the six thousand Xi soldiers who went there are dead, I will guarantee that his subordinates will be the governor's office. On the contrary, if you dare to hide your own private interests, A San will have their own arrangements. As for others, let alone Xidi in this life, you won't have to go back to Longxi again!"

"Yes, I have recorded it." He lowered his head and bowed his head and bowed his head, and Yuzhu turned around and left the room.

Watching Yuzhu leave, Tang Li sat quietly for a while before getting up and walking towards the western wall of the room. There was an exquisite nanmu long-legged desk enshrined a Guanyin Master invited by Mrs. Tang from Dacien Temple. Although this was the only thing the old lady gave when Tang Li went out of Beijing for a service, just looking at the clean incense burner in front of the Guanyin Master statue, you will know that she had no incense in the past.

He walked slowly to Guanyin Master, Tang Li took three pillars of incense, prayed silently for a long time, then turned around and walked to the door, "Come, prepare horses, and go to the commander's mansion."

The mansion surrounded by many black armored guards lost its solemn atmosphere because there were too many people entering and leaving the ground. The sound of hooves in front of the mansion gate was constantly coming in and out, and from time to time, he was hurriedly in and out. When he entered the first courtyard, he saw a middle-aged man wearing military uniforms in the military uniforms shouting endlessly. Behind him, there were more than ten clerks sitting. While verifying the receipt of the documents, he sent out the grain transfer documents with military rations seals, and was busy next to him.

The people were coaxing the grain officials of various departments with different accents. It was only April, and the north was still quite cool. However, many scholars from scholars were bare-handed like they were in charge of their records and joined the army. Even so, they could still see sweat beads on their foreheads and faces. Sometimes, even the clerks suddenly stood up and quarreled with the grain officials standing opposite each other. The atmosphere of the whole first courtyard was both tense and noisy.

"When is it time to sing a ceremony?", waved his hand to stop the guard leader Tang Jiu who was about to sing a name. Tang Li took the lead in walking inward. He was very busy inside, and not many people noticed him. Even if they saw it, Tang Li had already passed away, which made these grain officials from various departments anxious, "Is there a major change in the military situation? Otherwise, why would the military commanders who have always been so gentle to us, the rude and extremely gentle?"

Tang Li naturally had no intention of guessing what these people thought. Although the generals or civil servants who entered and entered the courtyard in the second and third entered the courtyards were gradually higher, they were noisy, but in terms of noise, they were nowhere near the first entered the courtyard. Tang Li saw with his own eyes that a staff officer praised the staff and a general who led the army and a commander poked the mountain and river map in front of him with his hands, and almost fought with fierce expressions.

After entering the yard for the fourth time, it was not until I passed through the full moon carved door of the inner courtyard that the noise became smaller and smaller.

The courtyard is no longer the place where the family is settled. It has become the core of Geshuhan's noisy and different point of view. It is very quiet. Tang Li walked into the main room of the inner courtyard in Dakai's door and saw Geshuhan and several personal staff members whispering to discuss something in a low voice as they looked at the mountain and river geography.

Tang Li's footsteps alarmed Ge Shuhan. He turned his head and saw that he was here. Ge Shu stood up and greeted him and said, "Don't worry, come, sit down!"

When the aides who were discussing with Geshuhan saw that Tang Li had arrived, they knew they had something to say, so they retreated together.

He took the tea from the guards and placed it on the desk beside Tang Li. Ge Shuhan, who was sitting next to him, looked at Tang Li's face and asked in a deep voice: "Don't worry, is there any new news?"

"Not yet," Tang Li shook his head when he heard this, "Ge Shu, I have been confused about family affairs these days. How is the battle now?"

"The war is going well. Don't worry, don't worry," said Geshu Han, picking up the teacup, and Geshu Han took a sip and said, "Sangzhou has only repelled the attack of Fan Yang's army once. Cai Xide and Tian Qianzhen are the generals under Fatty An. They joined forces to attack for a day and a night but failed to move Xiangzhou! In the end, more than 6,000 corpses were left behind and returned to Yunzhou, Hedong Road. Xue Song finally did not insult his ancestors' reputation as a famous general, and Li Sheng was also good at leading the army. After this time, if Fan Yang's army wants to come again, we have to consider it! We have no shortage of food, supplies, and there is a strong city to defend. He will die, and if he doesn't come to Hedong, he will be dragged to death. In a dilemma!" Geshu Han was generous by nature. If it weren't for Tang Li, he would have to laugh a few times when he said this.

After saying this, Ge Shuhan suddenly remembered something and added: "By the way, don't fall in love with Tian Chengsi, who you met in Beizhou last time, this time, this time, was also a big hit."

Seeing that Brother Shu Han wanted to laugh and was forced to suppress himself, Tang Li woke up secretly. Speaking of which, he was unhappy for the past few days, the military commander's mansion never heard laughter again, let alone smiles when he saw him. Now Brother Shu Han is the same. If this continues, he will not become "Xianglin Sao" and make anyone unhappy when they see him. As soon as he thought, Tang Li tried his best to smile and said, "Tian Chengsi? What's wrong with him?"

Although Tang Li smiled reluctantly, his ability to laugh also made Ge Shu Han relieved. He reached out and patted Tang Li's arm through the desk and sighed: "That's good. I know not to love you and my brother-in-law, but don't be so sad. This will hurt your body, and it will also make us like us even unable to open our mouths if we want to persuade you." After reaching out and patted you twice, Ge Shu Han continued to say: "Tian Chengsi is really a cruel person. The last time you went to Beizhou, he then condemned people to surrender the bench to my coach camp. It's just right.

There was no news outside. This time, Weizhou was originally next to Xiangzhou, and there was no movement when the war was fierce. When Cai and Tian were defeated, he rushed to pretend to be a reward for the army. He took a bite of Tian Qianzhen, who was traveling behind the palace, and ate more than 8,000 troops from his family. It was said that Xue Song had killed more than a day in Xiangzhou, which was not as good as Tian Chengsi's contribution! That's all. It's just that, if you raise the flag and return to Tang, you can't tell the news that Tian Chengsi's ability to control the army can be seen from this. This is not simple!"

In history, Tian Chengsi was famous for being cunning, but what supported him cunning was his strong ability to control the army. With An Lushan's rebellion, the generals who rebelled were either dead or disabled, and most of them ended up bleak. However, this person surrendered and rebelled several times. Not only did he not die, but he was also granted the title of Duke. He lived long until he was over 80 before he died safely. From this, we can see that Tian Chengsi's nature and methods were known, so Tang Li was not surprised to hear Ge Shu Han's words, "He is a letter of fame for you, the general!" After laughing, Tang Li closed his smile and asked, "Ge Shu, how long do you expect the war in Hedong will end?"

"Although the Anzi rebels are bound to be defeated, they are quite a lot of people after all. Now, Gao Shuai and Feng Shuai have sent troops to attack the three miles. I guess it will take more than twenty days. It would be better if I were calmer for another month."

"No, Geshu, the war in Hedong must end within twenty days. Don't forget that there is a Shi Siming behind you." He turned to face Geshuhan, and Tang Li's face completely closed his smile, "It's been more than ten days since I returned from Beijing. On that day, I guaranteed you three of you in front of the emperor, and the battle to combat the rebellion will end within one and a half months. If this time passes, the merits of suppressing the rebels will be inferior to that point; let's not talk about this,

The court's financial resources are really unable to support it. In the past month and a half, the military pay in the local area was saved by His Majesty's reduction of palace expenses. After the time was delayed, we really had no rice to put it in. I will do this. I will be able to end the battle in Hedong within 20 days, and then solve Shi Siming in the next ten days. If this time limit is exceeded, I will not guarantee your military rations and supplies, and I will go to Yang Xiang to fight the arena myself!"

"Twenty days!", gritted his teeth and sucked for a moment, Ge Shuhan waved his hand fiercely and said, "Okay, twenty days are only twenty days, the military supervisor, isn't it just a supervising battle?"

"This is a military order, and I cannot go back on my word." After adding this sentence, Tang Li said again: "By the way, you should plan carefully these days. How to solve Shi Siming's solution? There is nothing else. I'm afraid that he will escape from the customs. If Jie Shi wants to chase and suppress it, it will be troublesome. Now we are only Xi Bing and 6,000 people outside the customs. We have never seen much blood. What's the use of it?"

"Well, I'll think about this matter carefully! Time is a bit tight!" Seeing that Brother Shuhan nodded and agreed, Tang Li, who had stood up and was about to walk out, stopped and said, "After Shi Siming's work, Ge Shu, please leave me 30,000 elite soldiers near Yuguan."

"Leave 30,000 elite soldiers!" Geshuhan was puzzled for a moment, "what do you do?"

"You keep it, I will talk to you when I really want to use it." As he spoke, he waved his hand and indicated that there was no need to send it again. Tang Ligu left the room by himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the gate of the inner courtyard, he saw Brother Shuhan strode and walked side by side: "You said you wanted to transfer Li Qinglian back two days ago. This matter must be made clear. How to resettle it when you transfer back? If there is no explanation, I can't stand it when he comes to me every day. Can you serve him with military sticks like others?"

"How to resettle him? Let him go to the military commander's office to receive the order." Tang Li walked out and explained in a low voice: "It's time for the caravans formed by the Jiangnan road to leave. This is the first time that I have traded on land. There will be no trouble. As soon as the caravan enters the inner road of the pass, Geshu, you will draw the team to protect it first. As for the general commander, let Li Qinglian take office."

"he?".

"It's him, the name of the exiled immortal spreads overseas. From the royal family to the people of Kucha, he admires him very much. This trip to the west, it is much more convenient for him to pass through the various countries. In addition, it also allows those little men to meet the real romantic figures of the superior country. This is also good for our country to be kind to our dynasty." Speaking of this in one breath, Tang Li hesitated for a moment and said: "Li Qinglian will be transferred to the Honglu Temple sooner or later, and this time it will be considered a try first. As for military matters, just let the deputy general you are assigned to him go with you."

"Leading troops to travel far and show their power outside the territory. This is Ban Chao's career. Li Qinglian has no one to refuse. OK, don't worry, just make arrangements. I'll transfer his one to the next document." After saying with a smile, Ge Shuhan patted Tang Li on the shoulder and turned around and went back.
