When the iron door of the big prison was opened, there was a dead silence in the cell, only a few undead servants were splashing water to wash the bloody ground.

Su An lowered his head and wrapped his jailer's uniform tightly, holding a basket of charcoal in his hand, and was led in by Facao Canjun.He didn't know the rules, but according to Xue Jing's instructions, he didn't dare to give Facao money, but after looking at him, he was glad that he was kind.

Under the dilapidated shed outside are exiled prisoners assigned by the Ministry of Punishment. There are ten people in one room, and their excrement and urine are all in one place; The best places to live are divided into two types, one is for prisoners sentenced to flogging and rod punishment, and there is bail outside, and the other is for prisoners on death row.

Su An couldn't tell the difference between treachery and evil, but when he walked by, there were sinister eyes that cast heart and lungs on his back.

At the end of the aisle was a rusty iron door with dense notices pasted on it.Facao shook his waist, and took out the key: "Gu Yue, Ministry of Rites, touches Law Three "Position System", Law Six "Adept at Prosperity", Order One "Official Pin", Order Two "Three Masters, Three Gongtai Provincial Staff", Outside Beijing, it was submitted to the Ministry of Punishment, and it has been repeated for the second time."

The door slammed open, Su An was startled: "Eighteen..."

Gu Yue was dressed in white clothes, with a clean and flawless face, he blocked the door straight, snatched the basket from Su An's hand, and said softly: "How long has it been?" Su An woke up, knowing that he could not speak in prison, so he hurried Visitation.

The room is clean and warm, with soft sheepskin blankets on the couch, no dust on the tables, and even the rare silver utensils for eating. However, there is no window in such a room. It seems like forever.

Su An said: "It's almost the middle of the month, eh, why did you turn off the charcoal..." After finishing speaking, he saw that the scar on the back of Gu Yue's right hand not only showed no sign of healing, but was inflamed and abscessed, the outer ring had turned purple, and the inner part was still red. Seep water.

It was only when Gu Yue saw it that he put his hands behind his back.Su An gritted his teeth, and shouted outside: "I haven't been convicted yet, I was injured, why didn't I get medical treatment?!" Fa Cao responded: "I'm imprisoned outside, and I have played it twice. Only those who are above the fifth grade can enjoy wine and food, and listen to relatives and relatives. Ci Jue, only those who are above the seventh rank can be exempted from the shackles, and Xue Gong treats him like this, which is already extremely lenient."

The room is warm with charcoal, and the wound is prone to infection.

"Asu, this is the law of the "New Six Codes". They did nothing wrong." Gu Yue interrupted the dispute, saluted Facao, turned around and squeezed Su An's hand, and said calmly, "Just bear with me for now. , nothing will happen."

Su An said: "I will bear it?" Gu Yue sighed, and returned the basket to him: "I will bear it, I will bear it." Su An was silent for a while, then turned his face and said, "So that's how you got the number one scholar title. What? You give me back the flower feast!"

Gu Yue didn't reply for a long time, and Fa Cao was already urging people over there, Su Anhong said a word of apology with eyes wide open, then turned and left.

The first time I met "Xin Liu Dian", it was because he missed a palace tone in the music of "Tai He" in the Tai Yue Department; It is necessary to use its Yaoguang to transport tea and open a peony workshop.

How could he expect that the Ceremony of Three Knowledges would be in such a situation.

By mid-month, the sky had cleared and the wind was dry and wild blowing in the winter sun.

Su An could only wait patiently, laughing at himself like a rabbit sitting on a tree, without the slightest strength to resist, until the [-]th day, the majestic cornet was finally heard outside the city wall-the Ministry of Rites' propaganda mission traveled to seven states by land, Finally to Zhoucheng.

The trumpets in Zicheng were frequently heard, and countless pairs of black leather boots stepped on the stone ground, making the arrow tower tremble.Su An walked out of the building, shielding the glare of the sun with his hands, and between his fingers, he saw black iron soldiers running on the inner and outer city walls.

An official in a green robe with a round neck came panting and shouted: "Young Master Su, Governor Wu ordered you to go to the city gate to meet him." Su An had confirmed his identity before he could reply decently : "I've been waiting for a long time, let's lead the way."

Passing through the first hole, Su An took a quick glance and recognized a general with a leopard on his shoulders and a red-robed official. They were Xue Shiren, the guard of Youzhou, and Zhao Zhang, the governor of Jiedu.The two quarreled fiercely, and they kept mentioning the words Zhe Chongfu.

Passing through the second hole of the Confucian Gate, at the end of the two rows of green-robed officials, stood the tall and thin back of the governor Wu Shen.The wide purple robe fluttered in the wind like a flag.Su An walked more and more anxiously, his feet were stumbling, and suddenly he saw the left and right sides covered with crossbowmen, the flickering cold light made him sweat slightly, and his fingers tightened the strings of the pipa again.

"Why is this so?! The mission is only one thousand..." The words were drowned out by a deafening burst of joy, Su An's eyelashes trembled, his eyes passed over Governor Wu, and touched a golden wolf flag flying in the sky.

Such a flag is not the Yan flag, not the Yan flag, but the Yan flag that can only be hoisted when marching as an army.On the opposite side, the first army, 250 teams, 500 people.

Su An: "Guo... General."

The endless bright light armor, as if using the plain as a mirror, was motionless, shaking so that people couldn't open their eyes.Guo Yi didn't speak.Next to him, the lieutenant pulled his horse's head and walked to the front of the formation: "Shi Guoyi, the chief of the left guard of the Southern Yamen, according to the order of the Supreme Saint and the order of Xiao Qiaofu, Minister of the Ministry of War and Zhongshu Ling, has the right to transfer and fold the soldiers of Chongfu, and stationed in You state."

Wu Shen said: "Unexpectedly, Zhechong can summon so many people since the government soldiers changed to recruit soldiers. Only General Guo has this ability. I have been waiting for a long time." Guo Yi jumped off his horse and led a small team to drive slowly, including Xuan Fu envoy Zhou Quan and staff officer Wang Tingfu then met with Wu Shen according to the rules of etiquette.

"Guo Zuowei, don't come here without any harm." At this moment, a flying horse rushed out of the door, Xue Shiren grabbed the reins, raised his hoof, and said with a smile, "The fifty thousand brothers in the Jiedu camp in the city miss you and look forward to seeing you. "

Guo Yi clasped his fists as a signal, then turned his head and asked Wu Shen, "How many garrisons are there in the Jiedu Camp?" Wu Shen said, "Thirty thousand." The archery tower is only two directions to the northeast. The terrain is high and the wind is favorable. I will clothe a thousand bows and crossbows each, and the wooden gate in Zicheng will clothe five thousand. The rest are cavalry. They will be stationed at the military post five miles away. .” Wu Shen said, “Okay.”

Xue Shiren: "..." Guo Yidao: "Brother Shiren is still riding on the horse, not welcoming the Xuanfu envoy, is he trying to resist the edict, or plotting rebellion?" , Turn hostility into friendship.

Guo Yi holds the gun and shakes it right and left as he did when he set off.I saw the flags of each team moving, the trumpets and drums sounding differently, and the motionless army of tens of thousands of people suddenly fell apart like a waterfall on the rocky beach. Fan weather.From the army to the team, from the team to the army, the division of labor in each link is accurate, without Guo Yi repeating a sentence, that is to choke all the key points in the state city.

"Young Master Su, let's go, let's talk at the Yamen of the state government." On this day, peace was reached between the captain of Zhechong Prefecture and the general of the Jiedu Camp.Although Guo Yi was few in number, he was well-known. Although Xue Yu was still in control of the Youzhou battlefield, he seemed to be choking on a fly.

In the lobby of the state capital, a sheepskin map with a length of three feet and a width of three feet was hung.Wu Shen's thin body like a bamboo pole will fall but not fall, supporting a meeting of four people.

After the mission was divided into two groups, Guo Yi was able to secretly contact Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, to dispatch the various troops to rush to the government because the water route attracted most of Xue Yu's attention.Wang Tingfu called out his brothers and uncles, dredged up Yejian, Jiafang and Nufang, and made several checkpoints where spoils and bribes existed, and by the way, made a real defense map of Youzhou.

"Inspector Wu, this is a private letter from some friends in Beijing." Su An finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took out the notebooks and letters that had been treasured for several days from the interlayer of the pipa, "Gu Lang is still in the prison Hurt."

Wang Tingfu didn't reply to a few people's words, but only immersed himself in sorting out the documents. At that time, for the sake of safety, he copied all the key documents and evidence in two copies, and kept them separately for the waterways.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words here, Wu Shen paused for a moment: "Understood." After finishing speaking, he ordered Governor Shi to accompany everyone for the time being, while he went to the inner room to read the letter.Su An chased: "What about Gu Lang? You can't ignore it."

The bead curtain fell, and the scene fell into silence. Su An looked at the expressions of the other people, and it took him a long time to wake up. If his pipa hadn't hidden a secret, a musician shouldn't have appeared here, let alone point fingers.

Wang Tingfu said: "Young Master Su, Jieduying is based on the newly written Six Codes, and the decree was also issued by the three provinces. There are no mistakes. We can't mess up the situation first. The imperial court's decree to seize Gu Lang's power is not really to give The opportunity for Xue Yu to make a comeback is to use a blindfold to the troublemakers. In fact, the governance of the vassal has become inevitable. Gu Lang remonstrated that it was not he himself who was mobilized to defend Zhechong Mansion, but Xue Yu was forced to do so. He took a bite back and led his old troops to rise up and slaughter the innocent people in the city. Now, since the city defense of Youzhou is already under control, all he needs to do is wait for the Supreme to dismiss Xue Yu and transfer new people to Youzhou. Then he will have a legitimate name. All crises are resolved.”

Su An said: "But..." Guo Yi asked: "Have you seen where the grain and grass are transported in Fanyang Port?" Su An said: "What grain, grain and grass?" Guo Yi said: "Master Su, the overall situation is the most important thing!" Su An was startled again.

"Jingsai Army, Bai Yangdu, and Juyongguan."

Guo Yi immediately turned around and walked to the map, staring at several passes in the north, and pointed out Yuguan with his hand: "The three cities form an angle, supporting Yuguan at the northern end, which is extremely suitable for defense, but the generals of Jieduying are arrogant. Extravagant and domineering, I don't know how much benefit I have devoured for more than ten years. I have become fat and don't know how to fight. Although the Xuanjia cavalry has great lethality, but because the weapons and formations used are outdated, they are far less flexible than the Khitan scimitar cavalry. If you are afraid, be afraid, Xue Yu repeats his old tricks, and if you attack rashly because you are eager to win, the victory or defeat will be unpredictable."
