The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 238
The weather in March was still slightly cold, and the rising sun shone on people, and they could still feel the warmth. Fu Daozhao, the Longyou defense envoy who led the cavalry back one step ahead, jumped off his horse and took a side of Sichuan threw the flag on the ground, and reported the situation over there.

"That Langyan king should take this matter for granted, shouldn't it be taken for granted?" Li Jiji went over to hold the reins of the opponent's horse, walked side by side with Geng Qing and Fu Daozhao without any airs, and said with a smile: "Mr. It is said that this battle is nothing more than his probing, but fortunately the defender was not injured, otherwise I will lead the army south to fight him!"

"Shang Shuling's words, I will tell the other party directly, but why don't I understand it very well?" Fu Daozhao, who is walking on the right, is a general in the army, not as thorough as Li Jiji thought, and walked to the city gate. For a while, the words were a little excited, "Most of the infantry in Shu, if they really want to fight, maybe they can also enter the Shannan West Road and drive them back to Xichuan! This opportunity is really wasted."

Li Jiji raised his hand and thumped him on the shoulder, Geng Qing who was beside him just smiled, and went all the way back to King Qi's mansion, where he set up a reception banquet and explained the reason to him in detail at the wine table.

When Fu Daozhao heard the details, he came to his senses, took the drink and walked out to the seat, respectfully toasted Geng Qing to apologize, drank five cups in a row, Geng Qing held his hand down, "The defense has already been compensated, let's go Don't drink any more, no matter how good the wine is, it will hurt your health."

Making amends is also a skill. Seeing Geng Qing speak up, Fu Daozhao laughed twice while holding an empty cup, then turned back to his seat and sat down. Over there, Geng Qing put down his chopsticks and picked up Juan from the wooden tray held by the maid next to him. Pa wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, there is another reason for making friends with Wang Jian besides the brocade and silk and timber from the land of Shu. Longyou is poor and sparsely populated, and there are many party members among the soldiers. If everything depends on military expeditions, the soldiers will suffer too many casualties. The roots of the Han people here in Longyou, rather than wasting soldiers on it, might as well allow the people on this land to rest and recuperate for a while, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief. It will increase year by year, and in the future, as many troops as possible will belong to my Han family.”

".Let's talk about Zhang Chengfeng, the Jiedu envoy of Guiyi. He has great ambitions. He wants to conquer thousands of miles west of Hexi like his grandfather and revive his prestige. However, the road to the east is blocked by us, and we can't get around Long. Right, we have no choice but to do business with us, come and go again and again, isn't this a friendship? We have nothing to worry about if he deals with the Uyghurs, Tubo, and Dangxiang on the West Road. Of course, he is short of troops. There are two reasons for sending troops to help him!"

Geng Qing raised a finger, "First, as I said just now, it is beneficial to co-author, and the east and west are connected, so that everyone can earn money; second, it is very simple, you and I are both Han Chinese, so we should help the Han people! Return to the Rebel Army The land under our jurisdiction is our Han people, and it is our greatest interest right now, not comparable to a state or a city."

In the middle hall, the maids and servants have been dismissed at some point, and only Li Jiji and Fu Daozhao are left here. They are warriors and are not very good at devious ways, but right now Geng Qing speaks simply, as long as he is not a fool, he can basically Both of them could understand, the two of them only admired his plan before, but now they heard these words, they were completely convinced and convinced.

The two poured the wine, stood up and took the glasses together: "Mr. is a great talent. There is a Mr. in Longyou. I am waiting for a hopeless future. Mr. Jiji (Daozhao) stays in the desolate place in the northwest, and suffers as much as me!"

"It's not for you, I'm not looking for a place to live, ha ha." Geng Qing got up and followed with a glass of wine to salute, his tone was slightly joking, but the way they said it was right for the two people's tastes, they immediately laughed He got up, raised his head and drank the wine, lit the bottom of the glass, and then sat down.

Geng Qing also lit the cup, and when he sat down, it was already dark outside, under the hanging lantern, a figure ran anxiously, whispered something to the guard outside the door, the latter knocked on the door, Then he opened the door and came in, and whispered something in Li Jiji's ear first, Li Jiji's face darkened, and his eyes subconsciously turned to Geng Qing.

"gentlemen."

Geng Qing stopped smiling, hovered the cup in his hand, and slowly put it on the table. How smart he was, he couldn't see the expression on the other party's face, and he hesitated to speak, his heart jumped for no reason, and he lowered his voice .

"But something happened to my mother?"

"The news came from Fengxiang, and Defense Envoy Zhao received it." Li Jiji hadn't finished speaking, and Geng Qing, who was opposite, seemed to have no emotion on his face. , I'll go out first." Standing up and arching his hands, he strode out of the nave.

"Defense Talisman. Follow up. There is trouble this time. Mister's mother has encountered a wandering army. Do you have enough thousand Qingqi under your command? I will transfer another thousand Qingqi from the battalion to you. Fast horse first, go to Fengxiang to change horses , go directly north to Hezhong Mansion."

Zhongtang and the two also walked to the courtyard. Fu Daozhao just came back, and he was not too tired. He clasped his fists heavily and took this job down. Anyway, he had tried to fight with Wang Jian a few days ago, and he didn't enjoy the fight. Right now, there happened to be an enemy venting his anger. .

"Then Longzhou will entrust King Qi."

Fu Daozhao clasped his fists heavily, and immediately turned around and quickly chased after Geng Qing, who had already got into the carriage at the gate of the mansion. I would like to hurry up and go to Hezhong Mansion first to meet him!"

When they arrived, Geng Qing was not polite, and thanked him in the car curtain: "Thank you for your defense!"

"Drive!" Fu Daozhao nodded, clamped his horse's belly, lashed his whip, and led more than a hundred of his own riders to gallop towards the city gate.Dachun, who was driving the carriage, asked what was the matter, and learned that Wang Jinqiu and his convoy had encountered robbers and were being hunted down. He couldn't hold back at the moment, and drove the carriage like a chariot, frantically whipping his whip and yelling loudly : "Drive! Drive! Those in front, give way—"

Back at the mansion, without changing any clothes, he directly called Dou Wei, Jiuyu, and three "musketeers" Chen Hu, Zhao Long, and Li Biao, and brought more than 100 green forest guards in the mansion, either by car or on horseback, Qi Qi rushed out of the city gate and frantically rushed to Fengxiang along the official road.

In the swaying carriage, Geng Qing's hands and feet were numb and trembling slightly. He was a little scared, not because of the enemy, but because of what might happen to Wang Jinqiu, Qiaoniang, and those women.

In this world, he has already regarded the old woman as his own mother, and his heart is full of flesh. In his previous life, he had no worries. Here, he has been together for many years, and his feelings are only a little bit more, not to mention the woman is everywhere. For his sake, how can he be indifferent?

He also understands that it is useless to be anxious right now, but he can't help but think that way.

'Hope it's okay.'

The creaking car shaft groaned, and in the swaying carriage, Geng Qing just sat in the darkness, muttering silently in his heart, and Dachun outside comforted him, but in fact, he was also very worried, and his words were choked with sobs .

Farther away, the sound of rumbling horseshoes has spread from the barracks in the north of Longzhou, and the raised torch is like a fire dragon sweeping through the darkness, extending towards Fengxiang.

In the middle of the night after arriving, Geng Qing fell asleep in a daze in the shaking carriage. Outside, the convoy and cavalry team rode on the rough and bumpy road, and arrived in Fengxiang two days later.

Arriving here, Zhao Zhouyi went out of the city to greet him personally, and said that Fu Daozhao had arrived in Fengxiang a day ago, and changed horses and went straight to Hezhong Mansion.

"Thank you, I don't need soldiers and horses, just take care of Fengxiang." Geng Qing didn't go into the city either, and asked Dou Wei to collect the food and drink needed on the road, and let the horsemen among the crowd change horses with this side, and then continued on the road .

Two days in a row, the horse was on the road, and the bones in his body were about to fall apart while sitting in the carriage. He was a little out of spirits, but he didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he picked up the second report and read it several times.

"Wandering Army"

The sky was dark and the black clouds were extremely low. Geng Qing kneaded the paper into a ball in his palm. He had heard that such an army was wandering around Zhu Wen's land, looting everywhere, but he didn't expect to come to Hezhong Mansion. .

In terms of intelligence, it was said that they came from Huazhou. Years ago, Xie Tong wrote a letter, saying that he would seek employment in Huazhou, and he was probably going to attack Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin. If there is no security factor, then it seems that someone did not intend to assassinate his family members deliberately, but happened to happen.

"Wandering army, I don't know who the leader is but it doesn't matter anymore, you won't be able to make waves in the future."

Geng Qing looked at the thunder light flickering in the clouds outside the car curtain, and soon after, it started to rain.

woohoo!

The rain is pouring down, and amidst the misty water vapor, the winding mountains appear mysterious, and the deep mountains and old forests are quiet, occasionally there is a sound, it is a wild beast that was driven, ran into the rain, and then was shot and fell to the ground by an arrow , the body was grabbed by those who rushed out, dragged into the forest, skinned and cut.
