At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

?? Zhang Yan's face turned pale suddenly, and he couldn't help but shake his body. The letter was never delivered at all. Someone was intercepting the messenger, and he was from Datang's side.

?? What's the conspiracy?

??He was keenly aware of the problem, which was much more troublesome than he imagined.

?? "Send someone to send a message."

??At the foot of Yanshan Mountain

?? Qin Shou's letter has arrived

??Among the many sons of Li Shimin, Li Tai, the king of Wei, is the most knowledgeable. He once presided over the compilation of "Kuo Di Zhi" and has a deep understanding of the talents of governing the country

Chapter 366

Pei Wanying bit her lip, her peach eyes were hazy, she glanced at Chang Le, got up and left.

Since he was not the one who drew the lottery, he naturally had nothing to say, but he couldn't restrain the grievance in his heart, and he didn't want to show that he had lost face in front of the two of them.

It's just that when she turned around, her shoulders trembled slightly.

Gao Yang looked at Pei Wanying's back, but looked at Chang Le with his eyes, "Hmph, as long as she seems capable, when the letter from Mr. Lang arrives, she runs the fastest."

After saying this sentence, she herself sighed with regret, "My sister and I will pack our luggage together!"

Chang Le looked at Gao Yang, slightly moved, "How about?"

As soon as she said two words, she was interrupted by Gao Yang, "If there is no one, whoever draws the lottery is the one."

"Besides, it wasn't necessarily a good thing in the past. The letter said that Chang'an had taken initial control, but the remnants of the various clans in Guanlong, the aristocratic families, and Li Zhi are still problems, which are complicated."

Chang Le pursed her lips, she knew that Gao Yang was just being stubborn.

gloomy atmosphere

After a while, Gao Yang suddenly said: "Sister, what did Qin Shou say in the letter to you?"

"Don't look at it."

Seeing that Gao Yang insisted, Chang Le lowered his head, shyly pushed the letter tightly in his hand to Gao Yang.

"The east wind puts thousands of flowers and trees at night, and it blows down. The stars are like rain, the sound of phoenix flute moves, and the jade pot turns brightly. All night, the crowd of fish and dragon dancers searched for him thousands of times. When you look back, you are in a place where the lights are dim."

Gao Yang slowly opened his eyes wide, and stared at him for a long time with a stiff face, both startled and angry in his heart.

Although Qin Shou also wrote a poem for himself in his heart, relatively speaking, it is far less good than this poem.

Gao Yang's eye circles turned red instantly, he turned around and left.

Changle Xiao said: "I told you not to watch it"

This is a bit embarrassing.

It didn't take long before the news spread that the son-in-law had controlled the situation in Chang'an and was planning to transfer a group of people back to Chang'an.

Chai Lingwu stared wide-eyed. His first reaction was that someone was spreading rumors. As a nobleman of the imperial court, how could he not know about the situation in Chang'an? How could it be resolved after how long it took?

Unbelievable, he ran to Gao Yang and asked, "Is that true outside?"

"Yes..." Gao Yang was in a bad mood, explained the situation clearly with a few words, and then threw him out.

But Chai Lingwu's heart was pounding, were all the clans in Guanlong ransacked and exterminated?

This news knocked him out like a bolt from the blue.

No!

Chai Lingwu couldn't sit still for a while, he walked quickly towards Changle's residence, feeling the wind under his feet, he had heard that among the three, Changle returned to Chang'an.

After secretly investigating for a few days, Qin Shou found Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and others, and informed them of the results of the investigation.

The reason why he didn't look for other people in the hall was because in Qin Shou's view, there was no need for that.

Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "I am still very clear about the affairs of the Ministry of War. Among the letters to and from the Ministry of War in the north, none of them mentioned the rise of troops in Western Turks."

"The Impossible"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said with a smile, with the death of Changsun Wuji, Li Zhi handed over the affairs of the Ministry of War to Cheng Yaojin.

On the one hand, it was because Cheng Yaojin was an old minister. Although he usually looked like an old bastard, Li Zhi knew in his heart that the old guy was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

On the other hand, having Cheng Yaojin in the Ministry of War was equivalent to having a good buffer with Qin Shou.

Li Ji also frowned, "For such a big matter, we can't draw a conclusion based on just one person from the Cui family. It's a bit too hasty, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of opposition from the court just after going through such a court."

The meaning hidden in the middle is: You just killed all the clans in Guanlong, neither His Majesty nor the noble family will just watch you take advantage of the Western Turkic affairs to put the military power of the world into your hands.

Cheng Yaojin pondered for a while, "I don't know about the others, but one of them used to be my subordinate. His name was Zhang Yan. This man was loyal and upright, and he was a rare good general. His soldiers were on the border of the Western Turks. In fact, if such a thing really happened, it is impossible for him not to report it, let alone conceal it."

"I'll write him a handwritten letter later and ask him about his situation."

Li Ji also nodded, and said: "I also have a subordinate not far away, who will also write a letter to ask me about Dr. Wren's climbing situation."

Obviously, he also has absolute confidence in his subordinates.

Qin Shou shook his head, "This kind of military situation, I would rather believe it, and send someone to investigate it as soon as possible."

"On the other hand, we must also make good plans to go north."

Cheng Yaojin and He immediately looked at each other, frowned together, and finally could only say: "Then send someone over to check."

The answer of the two was a little far-fetched, even a little unhappy.

It felt like Qin Shou made a fuss over a molehill on this point, and he made it so clear, but Qin Shou didn't give them enough respect.

The two shook their heads as they left.

But Qin Shou lowered his head and continued to think. Now that the three parties have joined forces, there is no news from the north. Obviously something went wrong, but what puzzled him was that it should not be the soldiers pressing down on the border.

This is a bit weird, Qin Shou scratched his head, what are they waiting for?

"Old Xue, you can send some people to the north to see if you can find some clues."

"No, you go yourself!"

After the Ministry of War dispatched personnel, Qin Shou still felt that something was wrong, and decided to intensify his search for information on the Western Turks, except for people to continue to stare at the people of the aristocratic family.

The current him is no longer the Qin Shou who just came to Datang. What happened in a year made him calmer and more rational.

He is more aware of the importance of first-hand information, so he will establish his own intelligence department.

Facts have proved that it is too wise to take this move. It can be said that this return to Chang'an is due to the intelligence.

"Good!" Xue Rengui nodded.

In the eyes of Xue Rengui and others, Qin Shou's move was as amazing and admirable as a miracle.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed

Xue Rengui led people all the way north, searching for various news, but found nothing unusual.

Camping in the evening, Little Six was drinking jerky porridge and said to Xue Rengui with a smile: "Brother Xue, is something really wrong in the north?"

"Our fast horse has been running for two days, and we will be able to run to the border of the Western Turks in one more day, and we don't see any problems!"

"That's right, if the Western Turks really send troops, it's not something anyone can hide if they want to hide it. It's impossible for the local officials and soldiers to not know about it. Besides, there are people. If they see Turks committing crimes, Can people keep their mouths shut?"

Another young man from the Ministry of Intelligence said.

Xue Rengui also frowned, "Although I still don't know what's going on, but the son-in-law said that things are not that simple, so we can't take it lightly."

"Hurry up and finish eating, take a rest, and continue on your way."

When Qin Shou selected personnel for the intelligence department, he referred to the later generations of special operations, so he selected elites.

All qualities are top-notch. Apart from a simple rest, they went north this time, almost day and night.

Therefore, it took four or five days to travel, but they arrived in only three days.

The next day, Xue Rengui and the others finally arrived at the border when the sky was about to darken.

Their first stop was General Zhang Yan's camp.

It's a pity that the original camp turned into ruins, which made everyone shudder.

calm

calm

Sure enough, something happened, and the news was not passed on. The implication of this made the pores stand erect.

Xue Rengui took a deep breath and told his subordinates, "There are ruts on the ground, follow them to find them."

During this period, the mark disappeared several times.

It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Xue Rengui and others had to waste their efforts to search for a new mark again.

midnight

Outside Zhang Yan's temporary camp, a few disheveled people came, and were spotted by the camp's sentinels.

Zhang Yan also ran out in armor.

His face was gloomy, "Who are you? The secret work of Western Turks?"

"My Xue Rengui is from Chang'an and wants to find out what happened?"

"From Chang'an? I sent letters to Chang'an many times but failed. How do you know that something happened here?" Zhang Yan didn't listen to this, but when he heard this, he grabbed the handle of the knife violently.

The implication of his words is that the letters he sent to Chang'an may have failed, and it is impossible for outsiders to know, unless it is the person who intercepted the messenger.

"Just look at this!" Xue Rengui frowned, took out a letter and handed it over.

Zhang Yan was half-believing and dubious, but when he looked at the letter paper carefully under the torch, it was indeed the seal of the Ministry of War, and the handwriting was so familiar.

Lu Guogong's handwriting, after Cheng Yaojin left, Qin Shou asked him to write another letter.

After Zhang Yan read the letter, he turned his head to look at Xue Rengui, "I didn't expect you to be able to break through the blockade. Who is your master?"

Xue Rengui said in a deep voice, "My lord is Qin Shou."

"Qin Shou..." Zhang Yan almost blurted out, he had heard the news before that Qin Shou was a traitor, why would he send someone here now?

Xue Rengui could only briefly introduce some court affairs, Zhang Yan's eyes were straightened and his mind was in a daze.

"Tell me what happened first?" Xue Rengui asked urgently.

"Oh, that's right." Zhang Yan reacted, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said quickly.

After Xue Rengui finished listening, the muscles on his face twitched, and his eyes were red.

"These beasts!"

It turned out that the self-confessed person blocked the news, and then allowed the Western Turks to encroach on the territory and army of the Tang Dynasty. No wonder no news was found when they came.

Xue Rengui asked Zhang Yan to find pens and ink, then wrote several copies, and handed them over to his subordinates, "Send the news back to Chang'an!"

Changle belt and Chai Lingwu set off

However, after they had just traveled a few hundred miles, they encountered several waves of banditry. If Chen Jing and other experts hadn't followed along, ordinary people might not be able to bear it.

Chang Le frowned, "Why are there so many thieves?"

I remember that the last time I went to Yanshan with Qin Shou, there were not so many, but in a few months, it has increased several times.

But moving on, she understood.

Most of these so-called thieves are refugees. It is said that last year's locust plague and floods, coupled with the hunger and cold in winter, they could not make ends meet and could only take risks.

Coupled with some ruthless people from the rivers and lakes who stepped forward to gather together, it became a banditry.

Chang Le looked melancholy at the corpses that appeared on the side of the road from time to time, and couldn't help sighing, "Is this the country of Datang?"

Even those living refugees looked at them with vicious and longing eyes, which was depressing.

But they didn't bring much, and they had to hurry, so they didn't have much to give.

Many people in the crowd were originally refugees. If it wasn't for Qin Shou, they would have starved to death long ago. Now they all fell silent after hearing Chang Le's words.

gloomy atmosphere

At this time, a boy aged fourteen or fifteen said, "If the son-in-law is here, there will be a solution."

The solemnity in the eyes of the people is full of more worries. The various ethnic groups in Guanlong have not been purged, and there are people from the high-level families, as well as Li Zhi and the princes of the court. Gather the refugees who are plagued by bandits.

Can he really settle them one by one?
