Chapter six hundred and eighty sixth Shang difference into Hexi
The sun was rising in the early morning, and the hazy fog at night had been dispersed. Four men, two civilized and two martial, rode horses slowly toward the city gate. They were the four men sent by Yang Guozhong's subordinate Dou Hua to Hexi to investigate the case. They didn't know
He had no idea what he was about to face, and he was about to step into a whirlpool of rapids and undercurrents. He was only filled with utilitarianism and the desire to be promoted and make a fortune.
Watching them leave was a man standing on the square gate with a cattail leaf fan in his hand. The man's beard was slightly raised and he smiled at the person next to him: "Yang Guozhong was finally fooled. It's not easy. I hope they can find out something."
It won't be in vain for us to make such careful calculations when the things come back."
Liu Luogu stood by and praised him: "Mr. Gao's plan is really brilliant. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone."
"Oh, tell me, what do you mean by killing three birds with one stone?"
"The first bird is that we can find out the details of Li Siye's business in Hexi without spending a single soldier. The second bird is that Li Siye and Yang Guozhong will become enemies, and the two will definitely be in the same boat in the future.
.This third bird can take away the pepper trade route where Li Siye made money, and may even depose him from the position of military governor of the three towns, so as to eliminate future troubles for the Lord. Haha."
Gao Shang proudly stroked his beard and smiled, and said something to compliment each other: "The one who knows my plan is Liu Luogu."
"Even if they were beaten to death, they would never have imagined that the two lieutenants sent by Youxiaowei to protect them were our spies installed in Youxiaowei from Jinzouyuan."
Then the two of them laughed triumphantly again.
The laughter of the two people seemed scattered in the wind and did not reach the other side. However, diagonally opposite to the square gate of Qunxianfang, Cen Shen and Cao Anding squatted behind the railing and glanced at the two people laughing happily on the opposite floor.
"The one on the left is Gao Shang, Secretary of the Pinglu Marching Army sent by An Lushan, and the one on the right is Liu Luogu, who presides over Fan Yang Jinzou Academy."
Cen Shen nodded firmly and said, "What Dr. Li said is indeed true. It turns out that An Lushan was behind the scenes, and Guozhong's son was just being used."
"That's right." Cao Anding followed up and said, "We need to send someone to inform Doctor Li so that he can ask people to prepare in advance."
"Okay, I will write a letter to Doctor Li tonight to remind him that the investigation envoys sent by Yang Guozhong have left Chang'an, and two of them are insiders arranged by An Lushan, so that the doctor can deal with it in advance."
The two men walked down the stairs in the square, gave a silver collar to Marquis Wu who was guarding below as a bribe for allowing them to go upstairs for sightseeing, and then watched the two people on the opposite floor go away.
…
Li Siye sat cross-legged in front of the screen, with a letter from Cen Shen placed on the table. Below him sat Cheng Qianli, Tian Zhen, Yan Xiaosi and Dai Wang. After he opened the envelope and read it silently, he snorted and slapped the letter on the
When the case was settled, he said to the people sitting below: "Yang Guozhong is really a fool. He has been used by An Lushan, but he violated the alliance and sent people to check me!"
Cheng Qianli crossed his hands and said: "My subordinates have sent people to set up stations along the way to check their every move. As long as they walk through the post road, they cannot escape our sight. It is estimated that these four people have arrived at the border of Liangzhou.
They must go to the Yangguan Chamber of Commerce's head office first, so they must first discuss a way to deal with it."
Dai Wang followed up and said: "Among the four people sent by Yang Guozhong, two are insiders planted by An Lushan. These two people must not be retained. Doctor, you should try to get rid of these two people first."
"This is natural." Li Siye pressed his hand on the case, pondered for a moment and said: "Now that they have come to our border in Hexi, it would be easy to let two lives disappear. Well, it can be like this. The people of Liangzhou are strong and strong, even now
In the peaceful and prosperous times, bandits were not extinct. If they were attacked by bandits, two of them could die, and the other two could be rescued by Liangzhou soldiers and take the opportunity to beat them. In this way, Yang Guozhong will still be grateful to me."
"Haha." Several people present laughed lightly.
Li Siye added: "Yan Xiaosi will arrange this matter, and we must use capable people who are good at fighting."
Yan Xiaosi walked out of his seat, knelt on one knee and crossed his hands and said, "Here."
Li Siye ordered Dai Wang again: "Dai Liulang, you'd better return to Yangguan. When these two people arrive in Dunhuang County, you can send someone to bribe them. If the bribery fails, hide most of the account books for transporting pepper.
Only the accounting book for transporting sandalwood and red sandalwood is left. I would like to let Yang Guozhong and An Lushan see, and let the saint see who is serving the country loyally and who is causing trouble behind the scenes."
Dai Wang also walked out of his seat, crossed his hands and took the order.
…
Xiao Hua and Yuan Zai led the two Right Xiaowei Zhonghou to the border of Liangzhou. Since they were taking a post road, Cheng Qianli had previously informed the post stations along the Hexi route to report at any time. Their every move was equivalent to being in Liangzhou Mansion at all times.
under surveillance.
At the beginning of taking office, Li Siye increased the management of the post station, from laissez-faire to extensive management, and placed a patrol post officer every two hundred miles to conduct inspections. After the Western Region Chamber of Commerce entered Hexi, Li Siye asked Dai Wang to concurrently serve as a soldier to join the army.
, and also governs two post trade roads on the Qianli Hexi Corridor.
Since Dai Wang took over, he wanted to turn the post road into a part of the Western Region Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, he would improve the various functions of the post station, expand the warehouse and purchase mules and carriages and other transportation equipment. So far, the Pepper Trade Road has been extended to the Yellow River Ferry.
Xiao Hua has been in Chang'an for a long time and has no time to go out on business. Today, they have the opportunity to appreciate the magnificent rivers and mountains in the Hexi Corridor. Both of them feel proud and satisfied. If this trip goes well, they will not only be able to see the beautiful scenery visually, but also return home with a full load.
Chang'an, moved to the left and rose to a higher position.
They leaned on the railing on the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River and looked into the distance, expressing their feelings and reciting poems and writing poems. The princes of the right Xiaowei army stood eight feet away from them with their horses, and they laughed at the poetic and picturesque ideas of their scholars.
If you pay careful attention, you will find that there is a complete disconnect between the two civil servants and the two military attaches. First of all, their accents are completely different. Xiao Hua is from Nanling County and Yuan Zai is from Fengxiang Qishan. They have lived in the capital all year round.
, speaking the Mandarin of the Central Plains. The two middle princes are both from Pinglu Yingzhou, with strong Liao-Yan Hu-hua accents. Secondly, due to the different living areas, their values and morals are not on the same level.
.
On the surface, these two people are the middle marquis of Youxiao Guard, responsible for protecting their safety. In fact, these two people were temporarily placed in Youxiao Guard at the expense of Gao Shang and Liu Luogu. They are loyal to An Lushan and carry out Gao Shang's mission.
Order.
The Yanzhao Zahu were originally fierce and fierce, advocating force and fighting bravely. They only maintained their respect for Xiao Hua and Yuan Zai on the surface, but in their hearts they carried out a different plan. The two of them often acted against each other and fell behind them.
They were whispering to each other, but Xiao Hua had no doubt at all.
Yuan Zai glanced back suspiciously and said to Xiao Hua beside him: "I had some doubts before I came here. Most of the Youxiao Guards are descendants of good families in Guanzhong. Why did they just bring us two bastards from Hebei?"
?”
Xiao Hua didn't take it seriously at all. He pulled the horse's rein and said leisurely: "It doesn't matter whether he is from Guanzhong or Hebei. These two people are only protecting our safety and are not participating in the investigation, so why should we care."
