First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 334

...

On Gufengling, after Jiang Baoyi's voice fell, he saw a small group of scouts rushing up from the side path.

"General, I caught an enemy's tongue, without a weapon, and surrendered when I met him, shouting to see the general."

Jiang Baoyi was startled, and when he took a closer look, he saw that this man was short in stature, dressed in coarse cloth and bunted, and he was very capable.

Seeing Jiang Baoyi dressed as a general, the man hurriedly struggled and said: "General, don't do anything. My captain wants to join the Tang Dynasty, so please take him in."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Jiang Baoyi frowned and asked, "Who is your lieutenant? Why did you vote?"

This scout was obviously instructed by He Bin and Mr. Lu, and he had a draft in his mind. Hearing the words, he said bluntly: "My school lieutenant's name is He Bin, and he leads a regiment of Han soldiers. Come vote."

After Jiang Baoyi heard it, he believed it most of the time, and the scout continued: "If you don't believe it, general, you can have an interview with our school lieutenant later."

"Okay, you go back and let him come and talk lightly." Jiang Baoyi immediately signaled to release the scout.

"Vice Envoy Jiang, is there any deceit?" Seeing this, a Jiangling school lieutenant hurriedly stopped him: "If he goes back to report the news, how will we finish the ambush plan?"

Seeing this, Jiang Baoyi shook his head and said, "This man came alone without a weapon, obviously he was assigned by someone.

Furthermore, the fact that he came here directly shows that there are also some experts in the enemy army who have seen through our ambush."

Hearing these words, everyone's faces were a little dignified. They had already seen through the ambush.

Not long after the scout went back, he saw two horsemen running down the official road, one civil and one military, the general took off his saber, threw it in the road, and shouted to the left and right mountains: "May I see you, General Tang?"

"It's really courageous." Jiang Baoyi on the mountain nodded and praised when he saw this, and then ordered: "Lead them up."

As soon as they met, the man took his head and bowed, "The sinner, He Bin, has seen the general, dare to ask the general's name?"

"General Youwuwei of the Tang Dynasty, Deputy Envoy of Lingnan Road, Jiang Song, Duke of Yong'an County", Jiang Baoyi looked at the two of them, focusing on the scribe, "Who are you?"

It can be seen that among the two, the scribe is faintly headed.

"I'm using Fan Yang Lude, and I've met Deputy Envoy Jiang," Mr. Lu said in a polite manner.

"Fan Yang's Lu family? Why did you get caught up in the bandits?" Jiang Baoyi was slightly startled, and asked immediately.

"It's a long story," Lu Deyong smiled slightly, and then said directly: "Li Guangdu's reinforcements are five miles behind him, if you don't want to defeat them first, the general will help you with all your strength."

"How to defeat it?" Jiang Baoyi asked immediately.

"As the former army, we are here to explore the way. Li Guangdu must relax his vigilance if He Xiaowei can pass through Gufengling safely."

As Lu Deyong spoke, he looked at the arrangement here, "As long as Li Guangdu comes to the foot of the mountain, according to the general's arrangement, Li Guangdu is doomed."

He Bin also nodded at the side and said in agreement: "The Chinese army wears red robes and the one with the long beard is Li Guangdu. The general can be shot and killed again."

"Why should I trust you?" Jiang Baoyi asked back with his expression unchanged.

"I'm from Fanyang Lu's family," Lu De said with his head raised, "How could he commit himself to a bureaucrat for a long time?"

"Do you recognize Lu Chisong, Duke of Fanyang County?" Jiang Baoyi asked.

"Of course I recognize him, he is the brother of my northern ancestral Fang family, but I don't want to be a Duke of the county," Lu De said with a sigh of surprise.

Then he raised his head and sighed, "Brother Zifang was happy to have Lin'er, and he held a banquet to celebrate. When the wine was full of wine, the hall was named Chengqing, and I was also present. I don't know it has been more than [-] years. , vicissitudes of life."

Hearing this, Jiang Baoyi no longer doubted.

Lu Chengqing is only in his twenties this year, has not entered an official position, studied hard behind closed doors, and has a good reputation. It is only because Gao Chong has many contacts with Lu Chengqing that Jiang Baoyi met Lu Chengqing through Gao Chong.

This Lu Deyong actually knew the surnames of Lu Chisong and his son, presumably they were indeed from Fan Yang's Lu family, the most important thing is the arrogance, if they were not from a family, it would be difficult to have such arrogance.

"Lieutenant He, you led your troops through." Jiang Baoyi looked at He Bin and laughed, "This place still needs Mr. Lu's guidance."

He Bin was at a loss when he heard the words.

Lu De shook his head and said with a smile: "You go on your own, I'm here, and Vice Envoy Jiang can feel at ease."

He Bin led his troops to move on and passed Gu Fengling safely.

Seeing this, Lu Deyong said, "Vice Envoy Jiang is from the Jiang family in Tianshui?"

Jiang Baoyi was noncommittal.

Lu Deyong continued: "May I ask who you are Jiang Xiaozhong?"

Jiang Xiaozhong is Jiang Mo, the current governor of Qinzhou, and Jiang Baoyi's uncle.

Seeing Jiang Baoyi's expression, Lu De smiled with his beard and said, "I met once in the former Sui and Qin palaces. He was really a loyal elder, but it's a pity that he resigned."

Jiang Mo used to serve in Dongge to offer wine in the mansion of Yang Jun, the former King of Sui and Qin Dynasties. Later, Yang Jun was extravagant and licentious, which made Emperor Wen of Sui furious, and removed him from his official position, leaving only his title. Jiang Mo was implicated and voluntarily resigned from office and returned to his hometown.

Jiang Baoyi smiled when he heard the words, and waved his hand to signal that the guards who were keeping an eye on Lu De could go further away.

Lu Deyong is a smart man, seeing Jiang Baoyi's personal guard staring at him with a knife in his hand, he told this story of the past to prove his identity.

"Mr. Yilu, how should Lingnan appease him?" Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Baoyi asked casually.

"If my predictions are correct, Baishidong should have been captured by this time. Since Vice Envoy Jiang is here, it should be your appeasement ambassador who made this amazing feat. Once Baishidong is broken, the Guizhou bureaucrats will not fight. self-defeating.

With Guizhou established, only Gaozhou and Qinzhou are left.

In this way, the four forces in the South of the Five Ridges have already decided on the third, giving birth to Chang Ning of Qinzhou is really hard to do alone, your ambassador and Deputy Envoy Jiang are really good at it."

Lu De praised with his tongue, and at the end he clapped his hands in praise, admiring him very much.

Hearing this praise without any flattery, Jiang Baoyi also smiled and said: "Mr. Lu is too famous, but the ambassador is indeed an outstanding person in the world. Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong and other heroes were all defeated by him."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baoyi smiled with interest: "Speaking of which, the ambassador also has the blood of your Fan Yang and Lu family."

Lu Deyong was surprised when he heard that, "How can there be such a hero who has defeated all the heroes in the world? Who is he, and why does he have my Lu family blood?"

"The ambassador's name is Gao Chong. He is the pacifying ambassador of Lingnan Road, the governor of Jingzhou, and the prince of Anling County. Ambassador Gao's grandmother is the daughter of the Lu family and the aunt of the son of Fanggong in Fanyang County," Jiang Baoyi said bluntly.

"Gao Chong, the Duke of Anling County..." Lu De frowned and thought about it, and then asked, "But it's from the Bohai Gao family?"

"Mr. Lu is smart", Jiang Baoyi smiled and spoke proudly, after all, he was his brother-in-law.

"It is true that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Gao are often married, but I don't know who, and Ambassador Gao, is he really such a hero?

Why have I never heard of this person's reputation in Lingnan for more than ten years? "Lu De was full of doubts.
