My hut is small, outside the shadow of dragons and snakes, amidst the sound of wind and rain.

……

The big tent of the Anxi army is a different scene.

After receiving the transfer order from the Ministry of War, Li Siye and Duan Xiushi looked at each other in blank dismay.Li Siye asked: "Brother Fu, you asked Xiushi and others to participate in the memorial, is it overdone? I will meet His Majesty today and ask the court to withdraw the order."

Bai Fu smiled and said: "General, if General Duan and others hadn't taken the initiative to join me, I would not have been transferred from the army today.

The reputation is all over the world, and the slander also follows.

Now that I have been transferred to the household department, my rank has not been lowered, so it can be seen that His Majesty has already opened the door.If you don't go, I'm afraid you won't be able to go in the future. "

Duan Xiushi nodded, and said: "Brother Fu, you should be as careful as a hair and be aware of it in time.

After recovering the two capitals, General Siye was appointed as the Third Division of Kaifu Yitong and Weiweiqing due to his meritorious service.These rewards also made many people envious.

Before the king of Anxi's army, General Siye and the generals cut their arms and swore: "Wherever they go, they must be innocent."This matter is now being used by people with ulterior motives. "

Bai Fu clasped his fists at Li Siye and said: "General, the Anxi Army has achieved great feats in battle, and they are so impressive, they probably have been watched for a long time.

An Lushan dared to rebel precisely because he held the soldiers and horses of the three towns.After this battle, the imperial court definitely did not dare to let the general have too much power, and asked the general to make plans early. "

……

Not long after Bai Fu left the Anxi Army, the imperial court set up the Left and Right Shenwu Army and selected "Yuan Cong's children" to supplement.The so-called "children of Yuan Cong" are the children who followed the courtiers during Suzong's exile in Lingwu.

The formation of the left and right Shenwu armies is the same as the four forbidden armies of Zuo Yulin, You Yulin, Zuolongwu, and Youlongwu, and they are also called the "Sixth Army of Beiya".

The military department also selected 1000 brave warriors who were skilled in horseback riding and archery from the Anxi Army.

Suzong once wanted Bai Fu to be a general of the heroic army, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

It is indeed a pity for the military circle that Bai Fu, who has made outstanding military exploits, was hidden in the snow like this.

Guo Ziyi, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, was ordered to return to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and planned to rebuild the counties and counties north of the Yellow River.Before leaving, he asked Emperor Suzong that he could bring Bai Fu with him and serve as a military counselor as a marching Sima.Suzong did not approve.

From then on, Bai Fu lived a life as a civil servant, and Bai Fu didn't complain too much. He wore court clothes every day and ordered his hair on time.

The matter of Bai Fu's participation was known to all in the household department.The Minister of the Household Department was quite polite to Bai Fu, and ordered someone to find a south-facing wing for Bai Fu to use as an office, and arranged for two clerks to be dispatched by Bai Fu.It's just that Bai Fu was never allowed to participate in important meetings within the household department.

Bai Fu didn't mind, he just took advantage of the spare time to read the memorials presented by local officials.

……

Since Shi Siming was appointed king of Guiyi and Fan Yang Jiedu envoy, Xue E was sent to take charge of Hengzhou, Linghuzhang was sent to take charge of Bozhou, his son Shi Chaoyi was sent to take charge of Jizhou, and Lu Ji, the prefect of Zhao County, was summoned to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

For a while, Cangzhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Shenzhou, Dezhou, Dizhou and other counties surrendered one after another. Except for Xiangzhou, the puppet Yanjing division stationed by An Qingxu, who had not yet recovered, most of the area north of the Yellow River had surrendered to Li Tang. imperial court.

Seeing the good news that flew into the court like a snowflake every day, Bai Fu knew that Shi Siming, as the prairie wolf king, would rebel sooner or later.

……

Having nothing to do this day, Bai Fu pressed the dots and went to the Bashu Guild Hall.

Huang Zhen cooked with his own hands, fried a few of Bai Fu's favorite dishes, cut up a plate of stewed vegetables, and took out a jar of good wine.The two poured their own drinks and talked about the current situation.

Huang Zhen said: "Brother Fu, you are used to being a soldier, but now you bury your head in your papers every day, do you find it boring?"

Bai Fu smiled and said: "No. It's interesting to study the battle reports. Master Zhong Si said that an excellent general should also be a master of battle report analysis. The information is hidden in the details, the key depends on whether you can find it."

Huang Zhen filled Bai Fu's wine and said with a smile, "Oh, let's hear it."

Bai Fudao: "Since the ten years of Tianbao, Anlu Mountain has also led the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong. Rewards and punishments have been issued, and they have become more and more arrogant. Seeing the decline of military equipment in the Li and Tang courts, they have the heart to belittle China.

An Lushan was ambitious and intended to rebel. In fact, many courtiers were aware of it.But it is impossible to know when the troops will be raised.Many courtiers even thought that with Xuanzong's trust and love for An Lushan, even if An Lushan wanted to rebel, he would wait until Xuanzong died.

Only Master Zhong Si accurately predicted the exact time of An Lushan's rebellion.

Guess how the old man deduced it? "

Huang Zhen was stunned, and said: "Before the An Lushan rebellion, [-] warriors were selected from the surrendered generals of the Xi, Khitan and other tribes as personal guards. They raised tens of thousands of horses and a large amount of weapons and armor. Trade with Zhuhu, and get millions of profits every year as military expenses. Is this information?"

Bai Fu said: "These armaments were discovered by Li Linfu's spies in Fanyang, and Li Linfu forced An Lushan to spit them out. An Lushan would not dare to act rashly if Li Linfu was in office for one day."

Huang Zhen guessed again: "Is that inferred from Li Linfu's death? After Li Linfu's death, Yang Guozhong is no match for An Lushan."

Bai Fudao: "Li Linfu died of illness on November 24th in the [-]th year of Tianbao, and Anlu Mountain was raised by Fan Yang on November [-]th in the [-]th year of Tianbao. There was an interval of three years. If we can infer the time of Anlu Mountain's rebellion based on this, It will be three years earlier."

Huang Zhen said: "I heard that when An Lushan was the director of the horses and the national horse herdsman, he ordered his confidantes to select thousands of the strongest war horses in the horses' prison, and quietly transferred them to other places.

In addition, An Lushan asked the emperor Lao Er for thousands of blank commissions.After returning to Fanyang, he quickly promoted more than 500 generals and more than 2000 Zhonglang generals...An Lushan ordered people to secretly manufacture millions of third-rank official robes and goldfish bags..."

Before Bai Fu could answer, Huang Zhen had already denied these answers by himself.He said to himself: "Through these clues, we can only infer that An Lushan will rebel, but we cannot infer when."

Bai Fu nodded and added: "The fact that An Lushan secretly manufactured official robes and goldfish bags was not exposed at the time, and no one in the court knew about it."

After thinking for a while, Huang Zhen threw out the answer again: "Is it because Pei Shiyan and eunuch Feng Shenwei went to comfort Fan Yang during the incident, and found that Anlu Mountain has no gift for returning people?"

Bai Fu shook his head and smiled, "At that time, An Lushan was almost ready, so he was arrogant and rude to these two imperial envoys."

Huang Zhen sighed and said, "Brother Fu, don't be fooled, brother, I really can't figure it out."

Bai Fu laughed and said, "It was actually a trivial piece of news that first revealed the time of Anlu Mountain's rise of troops. At that time, the Ministry of Household Affairs received a report saying that there were fires in several government granaries in Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong towns."

Huang Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What does this have to do with An's rebellion?"

Bai Fudao: "Rebellion is a serious crime of genocide. To prevent leakage of secrets, An Lushan only conspired with his confidantes Yan Zhuang, Gao Shang, and General Ashina Chengqing. The other civil servants and generals were all kept in the dark.

However, planning the rebellion of tens of thousands of troops is not something that can be started with a slap of the head, and many clues will definitely be left behind.

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.To rebel, food and supplies must be fully prepared.Therefore, Yan Zhuang's first task was to check the military food reserves in Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong.

However, the world has been in peace for a long time, and the granary has already become a place where "rats" run rampant, guarding themselves and stealing everywhere.Suddenly Shangfeng ordered to check the granary, but the warehouse supervisor was caught off guard.The best way is to artificially cause a fire to destroy the corpses and destroy the evidence.In this way, even if the accounts do not match, they can be covered up seamlessly.

If only one granary catches fire, it can be understood as dry weather and improper management.However, the fires in many granaries in Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong towns meant that An Lushan was conducting a comprehensive investigation of the grain and grass in the three towns, and was about to make an earth-shattering event.

After the grain and grass inventory is completed, actions must be taken within three months, otherwise the amount of grain and grass will change again.It was at this point that An Lushan showed his flaws.

Combined with An Lushan's various performances before, his treasonous behavior has been clearly revealed. "

After hearing this, Huang Zhen praised repeatedly: "Listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books. Although I am in charge of intelligence work in Chang'an, I have never analyzed intelligence from these corners.

It can be seen that it is by no means accidental that the children of military strategists can strategize and win thousands of miles. "

　Overlapping peaks gallop west, thousands of horses circle around, and all the mountains want to go east.The turbulence is going straight down, and the jumping beads are splashing backwards; the small bridge is cut across, missing the bow of the moon.The old co-op is idle, the heavenly religion is troublesome, and the principal is punished.My hut is small, outside the shadow of dragons and snakes, amidst the sound of wind and rain.

　　Fighting to be the first to meet each other, to see the three peaks of refreshment.Like the children of the Xie family, they are dressed upright; they are like court households, and they ride gracefully.I feel that during the period, it is majestic, deep and elegant, just like the Tai Shigong of the article.On Xindi Road, I asked when Yanhu Lake will be full of smoke and water?
