Chapter 215 The Great Disaster!

Chapter 226 The Great Disaster!
Guo Yi hurried into the main hall of Pu Gu Huai'en's General's Mansion.

He wandered around and saw Zhang Xuan sitting on it, with a flattering smile on Pugu Huai'en's face, he couldn't help feeling a little disdainful.

He forced a smile and bowed, "The last general, Guo Min, pays homage to the governor! Guo Min didn't know that the governor was coming, so he was quite rude. Please forgive him!"

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "Forget it, I don't blame you."

"However, I am also looking for you. Huihe has always been attached to our dynasty, and it is a state of the people of the Tang Dynasty. My Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is called Tian Khan, and all people in this world, including the Huihe people, are all Your Majesty's people."

"The Huihe people, like the people of the Tang Dynasty, are bound and protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. General Guo, I come to ask you, where did these Huihe people come from? How did you capture them again, and report to the official in detail Come."

Although Zhang Xuan's voice was gentle, it was majestic.He has been in a high position for a long time and holds power, so he naturally develops an intimidating aura.Between looking and looking at this behavior, the power is naturally exuded.

Guo Yan's heart was shocked.Looking up, the so-called Governor of Longshuo in front of him is only about the same age as him, but the status and status of the two are vastly different.

He slowly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Back to the governor, the last general was ordered to patrol the border. In a village outside Xiazhou, he encountered Huihe thieves who plundered the food and grass of our border people, burning, killing and looting. The last general led his army to defeat the bandits. , and captured dozens of Huihe thieves."

Zhang Xuan was silent.

After a long time, he said softly, "General Guo, it has something to do with the prestige of the Tang court, so don't speak nonsense. I will ask you again, are these Huihe people really thieves who robbed the border people?"

"If there is a half-truth, even if your father is Guo Ziyi, I will never condone raising an adulterer!" Zhang Xuan's voice suddenly raised an octave, and his tone became stern.

Zhang Xuan was dubious about Guo Min's words, and after a little contact with the Huihe strong man, he guessed that this Huihe strong man was definitely not very human, let alone a Huihe horse thief.If he guessed correctly, this person must be a nobleman among the Huihe people.

Not to mention anything else, just because he knows Zhang Xuan's name is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Judging from this, this matter is not that simple, and there must be something else hidden.

Guo Min was taken aback, but he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Why did the governor make such a statement? The last general's words are true, and the last general's soldiers can all prove it."

Zhang Xuan's face changed and he smiled coldly.

In fact, Zhang Xuan was somewhat reluctant to delve into this matter.Based on his intuition, he judged that Guo Min must have concealed a lot of shady things, and once it was found out, Guo Min's guilt could not be escaped.

For Zhang Xuan, he had just arrived in Longshuo, and Guo Ziyi was a very important arm in his follow-up planning. He didn't want to use Guo Ziyi's son to gain power as soon as he took office.

Zhang Xuan looked down at Guo Min with a condescending expression. Although Guo Min didn't change his face, he was actually a little terrified and extremely uneasy.He had caused a catastrophe, if he hadn't met Zhang Xuan, he might have been able to forcefully cover it up, but since Zhang Xuan broke through, I'm afraid...

At this moment, Guo Yan suddenly had the idea of ​​fleeing Shuofang City quickly and returning to Lingzhou to ask his father for help.

Zhang Xuan secretly glanced at Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun followed Zhang Xuan for a long time, and at a glance he understood what the governor was thinking.So he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Great Governor, let this matter be investigated by the subordinates... The subordinates will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom."

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, Zhang Xun got up and left.

Looking at the back of Zhang Xun leaving, Zhang Xuan waved his hands and said, "Guo Min, you should step back. When I find out the truth, if what you said is true, I will report to the imperial court to reward your achievements. "

……

……

Zhang Xun began to interrogate those Huihe people.

Zhang Xun directly ordered people to bring in the strong Huihe man who had been severely whipped and almost died earlier. This man was seriously injured.

Even so, he is still seriously injured and can only lie down and accept Zhang Xun's questioning.

"My official Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion Fucheng and Lingzhou's appeasement envoy Zhang Xun are ordered by Zhang Dadudu to investigate and deal with this case. You can tell the truth, who are you, and why were you captured?" Zhang Picking up his teacup, Xun took a small sip.

The Huihe man hesitated for a moment, then said softly in a hoarse voice, "Report to my lord, in Xiagele, the eldest son of Huihe Khan Guli Peiluo."

"Prince Huihe?" Zhang Xun was taken aback, put down the teacup in his hand suddenly, stared at the Huihe man in shock, "Do you have proof?"

The man sighed and groped in his arms for a long time before he took out a jade tablet with a beautiful wolf's head engraved on it, and a circle of wavy patterns under the wolf's head.

Zhang Xun took it and looked at it for a long time, and finally confirmed Ge Le's identity.

Zhang Xun sat silently, looking at the seriously injured Ge Le with a complicated expression.

Although the status of this Huihe prince is not comparable to that of the Tang royal family, he is still the king of the clan after all.Zhang Xun knew in his heart that no matter what the truth was, since the Prince Huihe was involved, it suddenly rose to a political level.

No matter what the reason is, it is a felony for Guo to capture the prince of Huihe.

If Guo Ji's charges are confirmed, he will surely die.And then, Guo Ziyi will also be implicated.

This son of Guo Ziyi is also so daring, how dare...how dare to capture Prince Huihe!Moreover, if the former fan was outside the city, if he hadn't met Zhang Xuan and others by chance, Prince Huihe might have died at the hands of his soldiers.And once Ge Le died in the hands of the Tang people, the Huihe people would rebel.

Although Datang was not afraid of Huihe rebellion, it was still a big war and disaster. I don't know how many border people will die and how much money and food will be spent.

Zhang Xun sighed inwardly, a little unwilling to ask any more questions.

He suddenly got up and left in a hurry.

Seeing that Zhang Xun left after half a sentence, Ge Le's eyes flickered, and his heart became more serious.Some regret, should not reveal their identity.

With his noble status as the eldest son of Huihe Khan and the future heir of Khan, there were many twists and turns in the reason why he was captured by Guo Yu's army.

Huihe Khan Guli Pei Luo was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, and concurrently served as the Great Governor of the Hanhai Dudu Mansion of the Tang Dynasty.In order to stabilize his relationship with Datang, he made a children's marriage alliance with Guo Ziyi not long ago, intending to marry his youngest daughter Su Hudong to Guo Ziyi's second son Guo Mi.

But Su Hudong, the youngest daughter of Guli Pei Luo, was stubborn by nature, and she was determined not to follow, and she was unwilling to marry Guo Min.Gu Li Pei Luo pressed hard, Su Hudong changed his clothes and escaped from Huihe Khan Court.

Ge Le has a deep relationship with this little sister, so he also chased out with more than a hundred guards in micro-clothes, intending to persuade Su Hudong to go back.After chasing all the way, it was not until the outskirts of Xiazhou that Su Hudong caught up.

It happened to meet with the army patrolling the border of Guo Min.

Guo Min once followed Guo Ziyi to the Huihe camp to convey the imperial edict of the Tang emperor, met Su Hudong, and had a good impression of him, and Gu Li Pei Luo saw this, so he moved the idea of ​​marrying the Guo family.

Gu Li Pei Luo had many children, so it was an appropriate political strategy to use one daughter to win over the minister who held military power in Longshuo of the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Min had seen Su Hudong before, so he recognized her immediately, even though Su Hudong was pretending to be an ordinary Huihe woman.

Guo Min stepped forward to "get close", but was reprimanded by Su Hudong face to face, and publicly stated that he would never marry him.In shame and anger, Guo Min fell out with Su Hudong.And Su Hudong is also a fierce woman, so she almost shot Guo Min with an arrow.

Guo Min is the son of Guo Ziyi, and in this land of Longshuo, he has always been superior and cannot bear any grievances.Although Su Hudong is a princess of Huihe, the small country of Huihe has a population of only hundreds of thousands, soldiers and horses of only [-], and it is a country subject to the Tang Dynasty. How could Guo Yi really regard her as a princess.

In a rage, Guo Min led the army to surround the less than 200 Huihe people. He wanted to frighten Su Hudong, take her down and intimidate her, and show her some color, but Su Hudong led his guards to resist desperately. Attack and kill.

During the war, Su Hudong was wounded and fled into the desert under the desperate protection of two guards.But Ge Le escaped to cover his sister, but fell into the hands of Guo Yan.Most of the hundreds of guards under him were killed in battle, and the servants and maid servants under Su Hudong were captured together with him.

Guo Min followed Su Hudong's escape route into the depths of the desert for two days, but he didn't see any trace of Su Hudong. He guessed that she probably died in the desert.

Guo Min had to make up a cover to escort the captured Huihe back to Shuofang.

When Pugu Wynn asked, he told a lie.Although Pu Gu Huai'en was suspicious, he didn't dare to ask in detail.Guo Yan originally wanted to take these dozens of Huihe people back to Lingzhou to deal with them slowly, but unexpectedly met Zhang Xuan and others on the way.

"I don't know if my sister escaped back to the Khan Court... Hey... What a disaster..." Ge Le let out a long sigh.After he was captured, he did not dare to reveal his identity. He was worried that Guo Min would kill him.

Zhang Xun left his residence and took several soldiers on horseback to Guo Min's camp.

However, when we arrived, we saw only an empty camp.

Guo Yi fled and led his army to escape from Shuofang.The corner of Zhang Xun's mouth twitched, not daring to hesitate any longer, and immediately galloped to Pu Gu Huai'en's General's Mansion.

At present, Zhang Xuan is temporarily living in the general's mansion.

Just as Zhang Xuan was about to lie down and take a nap, Zhang Xun came to report.

Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, secretly having a bad premonition.

"Great governor, lower official..." Zhang Xun cupped his hands and said softly, "The Huihe man is Gele, the eldest son of Huihe Khan Guli Peiluo."

As he said that, Zhang Xun handed over the jade token proving Ge Le's identity.

Zhang Xuan suddenly sat up straight, took the jade tablet and glanced at it, his face gradually became gloomy.

Zhang Xuan looked up at Zhang Xun, knowing that he still had something to say.

"Great Governor, Guo Min led the army and horses to escape from Shuofang City, do you want to chase him back..."

Zhang Xuan suddenly slapped the table, gritted his teeth, and said, "What a bastard! How dare you escape without permission after causing such a catastrophe! He deserves to be punished!"
