As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Jiang Chao glanced at Huang Zichao, and sighed, "You don't really think that the prince can use the left and right guards of the palace to conquer the world, do you? From your point of view, how do you think the ordinary guards are compared to Xi Shanbo's reformed navy?"

"Uh, there is still a gap..." Huang Zichao almost didn't say something like 'it's all rubbish': "But the prince..."

Jiang Chao nodded and said, "My lord has been in touch with Tumot since he became a vassal. As for Liaodong, the lord who is now the general soldier of Liaoji once saved his life, and he was able to get promoted all the way to the general soldier because of the help of the lord." Because of this, so..."

Huang Zichao was so shocked that he almost shouted, but he still said patiently: "So the idea of ​​the prince is to let Liaodong raise troops first to attract the attention of the court, and then bring Tumot from the west..."

Jiang Chao nodded approvingly: "That's right, as expected of someone who has been with Uncle Xishan. Originally, the prince thought so. When you were not in the mansion a few days ago, the secret letter to raise troops in Liaodong had already been sent. The prince originally thought about it." It was waiting for the soldiers to come to the capital to raise troops from Lanzhou Mansion under the pretext of King Qin, but the reaction of the court was too fast, so now we need to make a move... Well, presumably the prince wants to mobilize troops first to attract the attention of the court, and then ..."

Huang Zichao couldn't listen to Jiang Chao's next words, he just wanted to send the news as soon as possible.

It’s okay for the Tumote Ministry to say, but how far is Liaodong from the capital, and if it is caught off guard, it may really be a situation where soldiers are approaching the city. If the capital is besieged, the first problem that the court will solve must be the capital’s problem. At that time, King Yiduan If you drive straight in with Tumed...

Also, if there is any change on King Yiduan's side now, if the court responds quickly, it will definitely send troops from the capital to help - the reorganization of the Nine Border Guards is about to end, and the recruits are still in training, and it is generally impossible to let them To quell the chaos, then the capital will be empty in this way. If there is a stalemate with the Liaodong frontier army at that time, the consequences...

In short, it is hard to say whether King Yiduan will be able to succeed, but it will definitely be a situation where the east and the west rise at the same time. From Shanhaiguan in the east to Xiningwei in the west, the entire north will be caught in war.

But how long did the north stop?

Huamanlou offered suggestions, Huai'an Bo brought him Huang Zichao as an envoy, and it was so easy for the Tatars to fall apart. From last year to this year, the people on the northern border have only had a few days of peace without the invasion of grassland people, but why are there always The people who are mixed up by the slut can't live in peace?

549. I don't know if I can stand it?

When the information collected by Huang Zichao was delivered to Uncle Huai'an by a fool who pretended to only know 'Abaaaba', Uncle Huai'an was instantly furious: "Bastard! How dare he!"

Anger is necessary, because, well, the situation of rebellion is more complicated. It may be dissatisfaction with reality, it may be too self-motivated, or it may be that it has indeed encountered injustice. These reasons are all understandable. .

However, once alien races were involved in such things as rebellion, the nature changed completely.

Although it is harsh to say that the minds of people who are not of our race must be different, it is not rough.Judging from the history of Hua Manlou's previous life, since the Eight Kings Rebellion, how many crimes have been committed by foreign races on the land of the Central Plains?How many times has the Chinese civilization been almost wiped out due to foreign invasions?

What is even more outrageous is the act of cooperating with foreign races to subvert the regime. This move can be scolded or even cast aside by all people, and it should be engraved on the pillar of shame for life and life.

Why?

This matter is like a few brothers in the family fighting for family property, and suddenly an unfilial son pulls the old Wang next door in to fight with him, and promises to give him part of it afterwards. What kind of thing is this?

If it was like a certain King Yan, it would be fine if the Old Wang next door was his younger brother. Even if he really took over the family property, the Old Wang would not dare to reach out indiscriminately.But there are always those people who are not strong enough and always try to use other people's hands to grab their property, and in the end they find that their home is almost gone. This kind of person...

Everyone usually greets his eight generations of ancestors.

So now, if King Yiduan was not really a royal family, Uncle Huai'an wanted to greet his eight generations of ancestors.

"Uncle, the news must be sent back to the capital as soon as possible!" Peng Guang beside Uncle Huai'an was completely panicked: "If there is any change in the capital, we really can't stop Tumote!"

I said earlier that the civil strife in Tatar did not affect Tumed's troops, so there are [-] to [-] cavalry on Tumed's side. It is also difficult to stop it.

What's more, because the purpose of Huai Anbo's team before coming to Lanzhou was not to fight, so Xishanwei didn't bring much heavy weapons at all.

That is to say, once the capital is unable to spare, or it will be a little later, the invasion of Tumote will become inevitable.

With a sullen face, Uncle Huai'an quickly wrote an envelope and handed it to Peng Guang, then said: "You take this letter back, remember, hurry up!"

"This..." Peng Guang was taken aback: "Old man, how can I go back at this time?"

Uncle Huai'an patted him on the shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense, I want you to do everything possible to send this letter to the capital as soon as possible, even if you are exhausted, the letter must be delivered!"

Peng Guang was stunned, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I'm taking orders from a humble job!"

"Come on, prepare a horse!"

Uncle Huai'an didn't give any instructions, and asked someone to prepare a horse to send Peng Guang on the road, but Peng Guang suddenly grabbed Uncle Huai'an and said, "Old man, what are you going to do here?"

Pursing his lips, Uncle Huai'an spat out five words: "Defend Lanzhou Mansion!"

Peng Guang's heart sank when he heard this.

Seeing King Yiduan's westward posture, the Xining Guard was probably infiltrated into a sieve, so if he sticks to the Lanzhou Mansion, Uncle Huai'an will face the Xining Guard, the second guard of the Wang Mansion, and the entire Tumote Department.

But Uncle Huai'an's men are only able to use the Qianxishan Guards. Although he can use Emperor Guangxing's secret decree to dispatch soldiers from Shaanxi, Ningxia Guards and other places to help, but after the reform, the number of troops will be reduced, not to mention the recruits. This……

Just looking at the comparison of the strength and strength of the troops, Peng Guang felt a wave of despair—even though he had never been on the battlefield before.

After hesitating for a while, Peng Guang said with difficulty: "Old man, if something cannot be done, it is actually okay to step back..."

"Where are you going? Back to the Beijing Normal University?" Uncle Huai An said something that seemed to be a joke, and then patted Peng Guang on the shoulder again: "Go, as long as you are fast enough, there will be no problem on my side."

Peng Guang stared fixedly at Uncle Huai'an, then patted his chest hard and said, "Uncle, take care, the humble job must be fast enough, and he will definitely come back!"

After all, he didn't wait for Uncle Huai'an to reply, he mounted his horse with a few of his own soldiers, and headed towards the capital in a daze.

Uncle Huai An looked at his back, just sighed, then looked at Song Jie beside him and said, "This time...do you have a solution?"

Song Jie was taken aback: "What does the old man mean, let me go to the Tumote Department?"

Uncle Huai'an was also taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed and said: "If you knew that King Yiduan had an affair with Tumote before, there might be some way for you to go, but if you go now, I guess the sacrificial flag will be cut off."

This is true, after all, after King Yiduan arrived at Xiningwei, he reckoned that the first step was to let Tumed enter the customs, and once Tumed raised his troops, he would not have many "lobbyists" with Da Zhao Nonsense, there is a high probability that he will not wait for Song Jie to fool him and kill him.

"What does the old man mean?"

"What I mean is, you've been with that prodigal son of mine for so long, have you learned anything useful?" Uncle Huai'an said with a smile, "For example, in the current situation, is there any way to hold back Tumote more? time?"

"This..." Song Jie said with a wry smile: "Old man, don't talk about Tumot right now, even the situation of Xiningwei is still unknown, our eyes are almost smeared, how can we do anything in this situation ?”

Uncle Huai'an nodded and said, "That's true."

Song Jie continued: "However, what should be done remains the same. Uncle once said that information is what is fought in wars, and whoever knows more will be invincible, so the information that needs to be collected must be collected. For example, who is leading the army at Tumot this time, what agreement do they have with King Yiduan, and whether they can sow discord among them, so old man, why don't I go to Xiningwei?"

Uncle Huai'an pondered for a moment and then said: "That's fine, but today is not the same as before. After you go, don't reveal your whereabouts. Just ask for news as the first priority. The sooner you come back, the better."

"Yes."

Song Jie responded, and Uncle Huai'an said again: "By the way, Huang Zichao is still under King Yiduan's subordinates, you arrange some smarter people to take care of him. If you can get in touch with him, tell him to be careful and don't rush for success almost exposed."

Song Jie nodded and went out to make preparations.

After everything was settled, Uncle Huai'an let out a long sigh and sat down on the chair wearily.

After leaving Beijing this time, he always felt a little slow, as if it was somehow foretelling that this time things would inevitably end in a mess, which made Uncle Huai'an a little uncomfortable.

After a long silence, Uncle Huai'an wrote a long letter again.

After finishing writing and putting it on, he smiled wryly and said, "I hope this letter won't be sent out... I don't know if I can stand it?"

550. Peng Guang's Obsession

In the cold wind, a group of knights were galloping on horseback.

The leader was a man in his thirties, and the rest looked young. They wrapped their whole bodies in cloaks, regardless of the strong wind that was coming, they just kept patting their horses and rushing on the road.

Pfft!

Accompanied by a neigh, a war horse that had already begun to spray foam fell to the ground, and the knight also fell to the ground, wailing endlessly.

But the rest didn't stop, and didn't even look back at the man who had fallen from the horse. After a faint sentence came in the wind, which seemed to be "find a way to return to the capital", the knights had already gone away.

The young man who fell on the ground seemed unmoved by this. After panting for a while, he got up and looked at the dead horse. Then he walked in the direction of the capital again.

The teenager wasn't the first to fall behind, and the team never stopped when someone had an accident.

What they want to do is to send a simple piece of news back to Beijing that is related to the fate of the country and the livelihood of hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, nothing more.

The journey of changing horses without changing people for two days and two nights made everyone exhausted, but no one complained. I can finally rest' this thought.

At the front of the cavalry team, Peng Guang is still gritting his teeth and insisting... Rather, he has no thoughts at the moment, only one belief remains: I will be the fastest man in Dazhao!

To be honest, before Peng Guang met Huamanlou, his biggest dream in his life was to become a member of the Hundred Household Office of Xuanwuwei East Street. The leading Qing Dynasty official spent the night together, not even daring to think about redeeming his body and bringing him back to his residence.

And just such a philistine and petty bureaucrat under the feet of the emperor gradually changed his life goal after meeting Huamanlou.

He became a guard of Xishan Qianhu, and the money he got from Xishan every month was enough for him to go to the best Qinlou Chuguan in the capital for several days, and he could even redeem it to be a concubine or something. He could play however he wanted .

However, as Huamanlou rose and all boats got the title and became the prince and grand teacher, Peng Guang's mind gradually became alive: following the uncle, it seems... It seems... It seems... Not only is it easy to get promoted and get rich, but even There is also the possibility of sealing his wife and son and making his name go down in history?

After World War I, the sudden rise of Song Jie and other new stars made Peng Guang feel extremely pressured, so this time he came to Lanzhou Prefecture with Uncle Huai'an on official business. It's a tricky plan, but he did his best to follow Huai'an Bo'an and take care of him all the way, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

That's right, although Peng Guang already has a thousand households, he is still a small person in the capital and in Dazhao. Not only can he not compare with the cabinet scholars, but also the few powerful state princes, and he can't compare with Xuanwuwei Commander and Dongchangchanggong. Even random civil servants would not take him seriously.

But, who can insist that the little people have no chance to change or even create history?

This time, Peng Guang finally ushered in his highlight moment. He led a dozen young soldiers, changed horses and did not change people, and rushed all the way from Lanzhou Prefecture to the capital. on horseback.

How far is Lanzhou from the capital?

A full three thousand miles.

In Huamanlou's previous life, this point was only two hours away by plane, seven hours by high-speed train, half a day by express, and a little more than a day by ordinary express.

But in this era, after galloping their horses for two days and two nights, they barely managed to cover half the distance.

puff.

Another boy fell off the horse, this time it was not the horse that stumbled, but the boy himself fell asleep from sleepiness.

But this time, Peng Guang didn't even let go of the phrase 'return to the capital by himself' and went away, leaving only the frustrated young man enduring the pain of the fall, while chasing the horse and continuing on his way.

……

West Hills.

For some reason, Huamanlou felt a little restless early this morning. After thinking about it, he vaguely felt that something might have happened to his father, so he kept urging people to go to Xuanwuwei to ask for news—ordinary Speaking of which, Xuanwuwei's intelligence channels are quite effective, so whether it is the last Pingwa or the matter of King Yiduan this time, Xuanwuwei is responsible for the information transmission.

After several times of questioning to no avail, Hua Manlou became more and more restless, to the point where he didn't even answer those scholars who claimed to be his disciples who came to ask about mechanics.

"The latest news hasn't been sent back yet?"

In the inner hall, before it was time for a cup of tea, Hua Manlou began to press for questions again.

Hua Er outside the door immediately entered the room upon hearing the words, and said with a bitter face: "Master, please be patient, this morning we have already sent more than a dozen groups of people to the capital, even if they fly, they can't fly so fast what."

Hua Manlou smacked his lips: "Then you are wrong, if you fly, you can really fly from here to Lanzhou Prefecture in an hour."

Hua Er didn't dare to refute, but said: "Master, I know you are worried about Master, but didn't the news two days ago say that Master is fine?"

Hua Manlou sighed and stopped talking.

This is the case, but there is no shortage of things to worry about. After all, according to the information, the situation in Lanzhou Mansion has been somewhat different from that of his father before he set off. If Wang Yiduan jumps over the wall in a hurry...

I don't know if there will be a plot in the future romance novels, such as "Manchu carelessly loses his father, Guangxing is furious and kills Yiduan"?

Hua Manlou felt a sense of sympathy.

What's more, if it wasn't for Song Jie's passive trigger a few days ago, my father might have been captured by King Yiduan and taken to the palace. If that was the case, the matter would have been really passive. The degree of defense is actually quite high, and there must be spies left by him in the capital, but our side is still not very clear about the situation in Lanzhou Prefecture.

and so……

Damn Xuanwuwei, why do they make such a mess every time they are supposed to be used?

And just when Huamanlou was thinking about whether to let a heroine of her family who claimed to be the second wife go to the capital to find the bad luck of Xuanwuwei, Huaer suddenly rushed into the house: "Master, Peng Qianhu is back! "

"What?" Hua Manlou was taken aback, "Why did he come back? No, where is he?"

"It's right in front of the mansion gate. The man passed out as soon as he got off his horse!" Hua Er hurriedly responded and urged, "Young master, should we go and have a look first?"

"Oh... oh oh!"

In a daze, Hua Manlou hurriedly got up and rushed out. A moment later, he saw the haggard Peng Guang who was almost out of shape in the gatehouse, and three or four young soldiers who looked equally miserable.

And just when the people around here were all talking about hello, Peng Guang woke up from a short-term coma. The moment he saw Hua Manlou, Peng Guang suddenly turned over, and he hurriedly put the letter that he had kept next to him. He took out the trembling one and handed it to Huamanlou, while saying in a hoarse voice: "King Yiduan has an affair with Tumote, Liaodong is also full of his people, uncle... the old uncle decided to stick to the Lanzhou government..."

Before he finished speaking, he passed out again.

551. There is no worst, only worse

Hua Manlou looked at the letter in his hand, then at Peng Guang who had passed out, his brows frowned instantly, and then...

I also want to greet the ancestors of King Yiduan.

"All the soldiers of Xishan Guard cancel their vacation and prepare for first-level combat readiness!"

"Yes!"

"Send someone to the palace to report this matter, and let His Majesty know the situation of Liaodong and Tumed as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"
