Chapter 1208 The military is on fire
Madam You returned from the palace to the Central Capital Protectorate, and it was already nightfall.
Moreover, the Habayashi Army guarding the palace personally escorted them back.
Because Chang'an City at this time has entered the curfew time.
No one can walk on the street without a night pass.
In a certain hall of the Central Protectorate's Mansion, the lamps and candles were brightly illuminated, illuminating the whole hall as if it were daytime.
As soon as Zhang Xiaosi came in, he saw General Guan sitting on his seat with a calm face, as quiet as a sculpture.
General Guan, who was motionless, raised his head slightly and looked over: "Are you back?"
Zhang Xiaosi didn't seem surprised that General Guan was waiting for him here.
She nodded, with a little tiredness on her face:
"Well, back."
"how?"
"The palace has sent a fast horse to Shangdang."
"That's good."
After saying this sentence, General Guan fell silent.
Zhang Xiaosi walked to the side, picked up the teacup and just wanted to drink it.
"Don't drink tea when you are thirsty, so as not to fall asleep at night, drink plain water."
General Guan suddenly said another sentence.
"Oh." The weather was too hot, probably because he was really thirsty, but he didn't notice it for a while, so Zhang Xiaosi changed another cup.
It was only then that I drank it all up.
General Guan just looked at her quietly.
Zhang Xiaosi drank the water, pursed his lips, and said:
"If Guo Xun is really careful, then this time, Wu people are very likely to participate in it."
"Um?!"
When General Guan heard this, his gaze flickered, and his already straight body became even more upright, "How do you say it?"
"The timing is too coincidental."
Zhang Xiaosi leaned all over the chair, regardless of his posture, looking a little tired:
"It all happened so coincidentally, as if it had been arranged long ago."
She leaned on the back of the chair and exhaled: "This is the conclusion that my sister, um, and the queen have discussed."
Having said that, she added, "Uh, of course, and Your Majesty."
"If Guo Xun is really meticulous, nine out of ten it was carefully arranged by the Wei thief, and the picture will not be small."
Weaving nine parts of the real and one part of the fake identity and experience, not only did it hide the rough people like Wei Yan.
Even the Central Capital Protectorate, who deliberately sent people to investigate, almost ignored the past.
Guo Xun, this person, pinched the turbulent period of power redistribution after the death of the prime minister with incomparable precision.
He took refuge in Wei Yan, whom people were unwilling to associate with at the time, and thus became the confidant of General Zuo Hussar of the Han Dynasty.
Zhang Xiaosi closed his eyes, with a bitter tone:
"Now we can only hope that Guo Xun is not the secret work of Wei thief."
"Don't hope!" General Guan interrupted her directly, "When you went to the palace, I thought about it carefully."
"What? My sister has discovered something new?"
General Guan sneered:
"It's not a new discovery, but just like what you said just now, everything is really a coincidence. Don't forget, Wei thief's change in Zhiguan a few days ago."
"We used to think that they were trying to contain the forces of Hedong, so that Hedong could not go to support Wei Wenchang to attack Gaodu."
"Now it seems that we think of the culprit too simply. The culprit is simply a preparation for attacking Shangdang!"
Logically speaking, knowing that the southern army was stationed in Hedong, the thieves should stick to the pass.
In this way, we can maximize our strengths and avoid weaknesses.
After all, the power of the Han cavalry has spread throughout the world.
If the thieves really dare to enter the flat land like Hedong, how can they resist the iron cavalry of the big man?
The bandit army at Zhiguan made a gesture of wanting to leave Zhiguan.
This doesn't make sense at all.
When Zhang Xiaosi heard this, his face instantly turned pale:
"So, isn't Guo Xun the second Yinfan?"
"Yinfan?" General Guan felt that the name was familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.
"The secret work sent to the state of Wu by the Wei thief ten years ago finally caused turmoil in the court of the state of Wu."
Zhang Xiaosi explained, "At that time, my sister and A Lang were in Xiaoguan, fighting Cao Zhen for life and death, so it's normal that I can't remember it for a while."
Yinbo, who was in Wu State back then, hastily launched a rebellion after his identity was exposed.
Although the rebellion was quickly suppressed, many important ministers of the state of Wu were implicated, and some were even forced to commit suicide.
Even Sun Quan's son-in-law, Zhu Ju, failed to escape.
Being dismissed from office and confined at home for four full years, it was not until the State of Wu sent people to the Great Han to learn the method of riding and fighting that it was considered a new use.
After listening to Zhang Xiaosi's explanation, General Guan finally remembered this matter.
Seeing that her complexion finally changed drastically, she suddenly stood up:
"If Guo Xun is really a secret agent sent by the Wei thief, the harm of this person may be much greater than that of Yinbo!"
Zhang Xiaosi smiled wryly: "Who said it wasn't?"
Although Yinfan caused turmoil in the court of Wu State, they did not succeed in the rebellion anyway.
At this time, Guo Xun was very different from Yinfan.
Wei Yan not only trusted Guo Xun, but also sent him to guard Huguan.
Once this person raises his troops to cause chaos, the Shangdang will be in danger!
At that time, the harm it will cause to the Great Han Dynasty Hall is simply unimaginable.
Wei Yan is an important minister in the court and a general in the army, and even leads an army alone!
It's really getting out of hand, and it's inevitable that both the North Korean army and the Chinese army will have to go through some cleaning.
Because not doing that, it is not enough to deter the newly surrendered people in Guanzhong Bingzhou and other places.
Otherwise, the big family that was finally tidied up will definitely start to have a heart of two heads again.
But cleaning is never a good thing, it only creates a situation where everyone is in danger.
The peaceful and peaceful political situation of Dahan these years will be seriously damaged.
General Guan snorted, glared at Zhang Xiaosi angrily, and strode out the door without looking back.
Zhang Xiaosi had a bitter expression on his face, he didn't dare to look at General Guan, and even looked away deliberately, feeling a little guilty.
Because she knew that General Guan was not angry with herself.
It's my elder sister, the queen's own elder sister.
It is true that the surname of the son of the Han Dynasty is Liu, but the great Han country was fought down by countless loyal people who sacrificed their lives.
I don't know how many people's lives and wealth are tied to the Han Dynasty.
So this country does not only belong to the Liu family.
If not, why did Emperor Gaozu make an oath with many heroes to kill the white horse?
How did the former Han and the later Han die?
It is nothing more than the four words "people's hearts are against each other".
This night, I don’t know how many people couldn’t sleep all night, and at the same time prayed in their hearts that Shangdang was safe.
It's just a matter of the world, and nine out of ten people don't know it.
There are more things, the more afraid of something coming, the more it will come.
In just a few days, the traffic between Hedong and Chang'an suddenly increased sharply.
Smoke and dust billowed on the official road, all of them were cavaliers carrying command flags and galloping wildly.
"Report! The Hedong Army has an urgent report!"
Another Chuanqi rushed to the gate of the Zhongdu Protector's Mansion like crazy.
"Plop!"
Before the horse stopped, the man rolled off the horse.
Only this time, Chuanqi was much worse than the last one.
The scorched lips were already streaked with blood, and the blood vessels on the exposed hands and neck were purple and exposed.
Three people rushed out from the gate of Zhongdu Hufu, one went to rein, and the other two went to help Chuanqi.
"Urgent, quick..."
Chuan Qi passed out before he finished speaking.
The guard groped around Chuanqi, and quickly found the urgent letter and the military amulet to prove his identity.
The chicken feathers on the letter have been glued together, and somewhere in the envelope, which represents an emergency, is as red as blood, which seems to remind the urgency of the letter.
General Guan's heart sank when he heard that there was a red military report from Hedong!
After reading the contents of the letter, General Guan, who had always been calm, was furious on the spot.
I saw her slap on the table and cursed angrily:
"Old man Wei Yan, you should be killed!"
"Wow!"
The case table withstood General Guan's palm, but the utensils placed on the case table jumped up.
Some fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
I have never seen General Guan's subordinates so groggy, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.
Zhang Xiaosi, who got the news, hurried over and saw General Guan like this.
I don't know whether I was frightened or had a premonition, my legs were a little weak, and I stopped on the threshold, holding the door, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Sister?"
General Guan looked at Zhang Xiaosi, took a long breath, forcibly suppressed the jumping anger in his eyes, and said word by word:
"Guo Xun led the thieves into Huguan, and the Wei thieves had seized the eldest son, cutting off Wei Yan's retreat."
"What?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaosi felt her eyes go dark, and her body shook, as if she wanted to fall down.
But her eyes fell on the letter paper in General Guan's hand, and suddenly she stepped forward and snatched the letter.
The letter was sent by Zhang Bao from Hedong.
To be precise, Wei Yan sent it over by Zhang Bao's hand.
There is usually not only one copy of such important military affairs.
In order to prevent getting lost on the road, several groups of people will be sent out.
And these groups of people will eventually be divided into two groups.
One batch was sent directly to the palace, and the other batch was sent to the Zhongdu Hufu.
Wei Yan was not under the jurisdiction of the Central Capital Protectorate, so the military newspaper he sent was naturally the first one.
But such a big event, he definitely can't hide it.
So after Zhang Bao knew the details about the Shangdang, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately sent Chuanqi to Chang'an.
Gongli and Zhongdu Hufu got the news almost at the same time.
After Zhang Xiaosi finished reading, he could no longer stand still, his knees softened, and he sat down on the ground:
"how so?"
"The situation is even worse than we expected!" General Guan gritted his teeth and said, "The thieves have planned this long ago!"
If the thieves hadn't made preparations long ago, the situation in Shangdang would definitely not have deteriorated to this point in a short period of time.
Even Lu Xun invited Alang to Wuguan to attack the Wei thieves together, it may be a part of the design in this game!
"what should we do?"
Zhang Xiaosi, who has always been as cunning as a little fox, is now in a mess: "Ah Lang, Ah Lang is not at the house..."
General Guan’s face is also extremely ugly:
"That's right, Alang is not in the house at this time, how can he manage the overall situation?"
On weekdays, I feel that A Lang has nothing to do all day long.
But now that the sky is falling, the first thing they think of is A Lang who seems to be wandering around the house all the time.
Without him at this time, the family seems to have lost its backbone.
General Guan took two steps back and forth, and then remembered something:
"I'm going to the Qianfu to gather the staff!"
She had just stepped out of the threshold when suddenly another female guard trotted over in a hurry:
"Ma'am, a gentleman in the front yard sent someone back, saying that there is an urgent letter to hand over to you."
What the female guard said made General Guan feel like a man who was dying of thirst when he suddenly encountered rain from the sky.
"Your Majesty?"
"Exactly!"
"Quick, let's go!"
General Guan walked towards the front yard like a wind blowing under his feet.
Sitting paralyzed in the room, Secretary Zhang heard the words outside the room, and his eyes, which were originally somewhat dark, suddenly burst into light.
The strength of her whole body seemed to come back all at once, and she got up quickly and ran outside the house to have a look.
General Guan’s figure was about to disappear beyond the arch, and the guards trotting behind him couldn’t keep up.
Secretary Zhang quickly lifted her skirt and followed.
Of the personal guards sent by Feng Duhu from Caoqiao Pass, only three of them could rush to Zhongduhu's mansion at this time.
The remaining people all fell on the road.
They either exhausted their energy, or gave up all their horses to their comrades.
The three people who were able to return to the house were also in a state of distress, not to mention their bodies were smelly, their bodies were covered in mud and dust, and they looked worse than refugees.
"Where is the letter from the prince?"
Mrs. Zuo just appeared at the door, before waiting for a few people to salute, she asked impatiently.
The captain of the personal guard quickly took out the tarpaulin from his arms, and before he could speak, Mrs. Zuo hurried forward and grabbed it.
With a shaking of his hand, he pulled the oilcloth, took a careful look at the mud seal, and tore it apart after making sure it was intact.
Feng Duhu's letter is not long, only a few short sentences.
Mrs. Zuo scanned ten lines at a glance, her face was slightly pale, and she said to the three of them:
"Go down and rest first."
At the same time, he put away the letter on hand, turned around and left in a hurry.
Madam You, who was following behind, ran out of breath, and before she even saw a word, Madam Zuo had already passed by her in another gust of wind.
Madam You patted her chest, trying to take a breath for herself, but after taking a breath, she felt a stench rushing straight into her lungs, making her want to vomit.
Madam You, who was already on fire, couldn't hold back her anger and was furious:
"Where did it come from..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw three people dressed as personal guards walking out of the house.
The three of them saw Mrs. You, and quickly saluted again:
"Meet Mrs...."
Madam You subconsciously wanted to cover her mouth and nose, but realized something was wrong, she quickly put down her hands, and tried her best to look solemn:
"Get up. You are tired all the way, go and rest quickly, don't be too polite."
After speaking, he waved his hand to make them retreat, then turned around and chased after Mrs. Zuo.
After finally returning to the inner courtyard, I found out the location of Mrs. Zuo from the mouth of the servants, only to find out that Mrs. Zuo had already gone to the Zhendong General's Mansion next door.
This is the first time Madam You dislikes the fact that her house occupies too much land.
When she found Mrs. Zuo out of breath, General Guan had already tied a boy's hair in a bun and put on the Wubian crown.
At this moment, she is stretching out her arms, letting the maidservant serve her to put on formal clothes.
Seeing General Guan's appearance, Secretary Zhang was taken aback: "Sister, you are..."
General Guan glanced at Secretary Zhang with a gloomy gaze and a calm face:
"Enter the palace, please see Your Majesty."
