, Zhang Xuan led the army to leave Chang'an to conquer Longshuo, and at the same time guarded Princess Wan Chūn and pro-Tubo.

According to the conventional route, the itinerary of the army should be out of Chang'an, to Yongzhou, then through Puzhou, northwest to Gyeongju, and then along Luoshui west to Xiazhou, and then through Huaiyuan to the bottom of the Holland Mountain, to the final month of the Lingzhou, the original Shuofang Jiedu envoy station, the current Longshuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

But Zhang Xuan did not let the army take the regular route, but personally drew up a detour route. [The latest search is in lzh from Yongzhou, Puzhou, east into Bingzhou, and then from the periphery of Bingzhou back to the northwest, in An Lushan Fanyang River East Domain Town around a circle, through Xiazhou, Huaiyuan County, and then to Lingzhou.

The route of this detour is much farther than the regular route, with the former taking more than a month for a large army and the latter taking at least two months. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses accompanied each other, plus the honor guard of Princess Wan Chūn's marriage and marriage, the momentum was huge, and the walking was already extremely slow, and if you make such a detour, I am afraid that it will be close to early summer when you reach Lingzhou.

The change of route was proposed by Zhang Xuan when he camped on the evening of the first day after leaving Chang'an. Everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to ask. Only Xiao Shisanlang vaguely guessed Zhang Xuan's intentions, which seemed to be to delay time.

The army marched slowly, and on the first day it marched sixty miles, and it was not until dusk on the second day that it felt a town on the outskirts of Yongzhou.

This town is sparsely populated, and suddenly such a large army and honor guard came, and people shouted and neighed, which immediately disturbed the peace of the town. All the people in the town were in a panic, and they were afraid that they would cause some trouble, but fortunately, Zhang Xuan's military order was issued, and the army camped in the open field outside the town without entering the town.

It's just that Zhang Xuan's handsome tent, the command hub of the army, and the honor guard of Princess Wan Chūn entered the town and requisitioned several mansions.

Before the camp was finished, a chilly chūn wind blew, and in a few moments, a sparse raindrop fell on the sky.

After a while, the rain became more and more dense, and the scenery near and far was shrouded in the rain and fog. After dinner, although the rain did not stop, it did not rain any more, and it was still dripping.

Zhang Xuan stood quietly at the mouth of the handsome tent, looking up at the sky under the escort of several soldiers, letting the rain fall on his body, gradually wetting his clothes.

The rain is indeed not heavy, ticking and ticking, not like it is raining, but like the shijie in front of the fog is blocked in the dense rain silk like a bead net. Looking into the distance, the town, the houses, and the dense barracks tents were all left with only a somewhat vague wheel corridor.

There were a few more bursts of thunder in the sky, Zhang Xuan walked into the rain and mist, and suddenly a fresh and cool feeling permeated his whole body. The raindrops were cold on the body, but there was a moist and warm smell in the air.

"What a chūn rain!" Zhang Xuan turned around and looked at the two soldiers who were closely behind him, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Pass the military order of this official, and quickly pass everyone to wait for the official tent to discuss the matter!"

Zhang Xuan strode back to the tent.

The soldiers hurriedly beckoned the heralds, stood in the rain and blew the trumpet of the commander to convene the generals and officials to discuss the matter.

The desolate and graceful military horn echoed in the rain curtain, and immediately from all directions came the sound of rapid and powerful footsteps and running, and all the civil and military generals under Zhang Xuan, who could be ranked on the top, came from their respective camps to the tent.

Under Zhang Xuan's handsome case, seats are set up on the left and right.

Feng Changqing was the first to walk into the tent and took a handful of the rain on his forehead, bowed to Zhang Xuan and said, "Xiaguan Feng Changqing meets the Governor!"

"Lord Feng, please be seated. Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said in a harmonious voice.

After a short time, Zhou Xuchu, Zhang Xun, Cui Jin, Chen Tong and other civil officials, Gu Xi, Xiao Shisanlang, Lei Wan Chūn, Nan Jiyun and other military generals also entered the tent one after another, and returned to their seats after the ceremony. ...,

Zhang Xuan glanced at the first vacant spot on the left, and an uncatchable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This seat belongs to Li Fuguo, the internal supervisor who was reprimanded in public yesterday. Li Fuguo is the deputy envoy of Heqin, and he is also the supervisor of Longshuo, in terms of position and grade, he is on par with Feng Changqing, and he is higher than Zhou Xuchu and Zhang Xunjiao Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, "Go and ask Li Jianjun to discuss the matter." ”

As soon as Zhang Xuan's words came out, everyone's faces couldn't help but be a little complicated and weird.

Yesterday Li Fuguo was scolded with a cane for twenty years, and he still can't get up, and during the march, many soldiers can hear the painful shēnyín sound of him lying on the carriage as the road bumps.

But Zhang Xuan said this, Zhou Xuchu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to pass on Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo was lying on the quilt in his camp tent, and a military doctor had just come to change him, and his N part was bloodstained, and the swelling had not subsided, so he couldn't get up at all.

He shēnyín on his lips, and cursed Zhang Xuan even more in his heart, accumulating a monstrous hatred for Zhang Xuan. It's just that I can only silently hold it in my heart.

At this moment, a soldier came to report, saying that Zhang Xuan had sent him to the Shuai tent to participate in the deliberations, and he couldn't help but be so angry that his face turned pale and his mouth trembled. He is like this, he can't walk at all, how can he go to participate in the discussion? This Zhang Xuan is also too deceitful!

Li Fuguo scolded Zhang Xuan in his heart, but he still didn't dare to disobey Zhang Xuan's intentions.

He had to let two soldiers carry him and slowly walk towards the tent.

Regarding Zhang Xuan's methods, Li Fuguo was too deeply taught. He knew that if he had another handle in the army that fell into Zhang Xuan's hands, the next thing he would face would be a disaster, which might endanger his life.

Along the way, Li Fuguo was ruthless in his heart, he didn't dare to speak, and his mouth was bitten alive, oozing a trace of blood.

When he was approaching the handsome tent, he quietly reached into his arms and pinched a secret decree that the crown prince Li Heng had sent him to the East Palace before leaving, and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness and hatred.

Li Heng gave Li Fuguo a secret decree, and if he saw that Zhang Xuan had a bad heart of disrespecting the imperial court, he could use the secret decree to remove Zhang Xuan from his official position and act expediently, and replace him.

Of course, there is a premise for this secret decree, that is, Zhang Xuan has the same rebellious heart as An Lushan. Li Fuguo can only play a role when he takes it out at a certain critical moment, and if he takes it out now, he can only bury his own life. Don't say that Zhang Xuan can't spare him, I'm afraid Li Heng will be the first to kill him.

"Zhang Xuan'er, you don't want to leave the handle in our hands...... Let's just wait, wait and see who laughs zuihou. When the time comes, our family will let you destroy your family and destroy your clan, and you will be ashamed of Xue today!"

Li Fuguo let out a silent roar full of resentment in his heart.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li Fuguo was carried in by two soldiers, covered with a thin quilt. He knelt on the stretcher, reluctantly smiled and said, "Fuguo has seen the Metropolitan Governor, and the Auxiliary State can't get up, and it is rude, please forgive the Metropolitan Governor!"

Two soldiers laid him on the ground.

Li Fuguo crouched there, facing the majestic gaze of Zhang Xuan from behind the handsome case, and the strange eyes of the civil and military subordinates around him, feeling like a monkey, ashamed and angry.

He lowered his head slightly.

Before entering the tent, he was fully mentally prepared to continue to bear Zhang Xuan's humiliation. But Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay." Today, the official convened a meeting, and Lord Li was the deputy envoy of Heqin and the supervisor of Longshuo, so naturally he could not be absent. ”

Li Fuguo regarded himself as Zhang Xuan's "opponent", but he didn't know that Zhang Xuan didn't really take him seriously from beginning to end. In Zhang Xuan's eyes, he is like an ant.

The generals were a little surprised. Zhang Xuan treats his subordinates very modestly, and respects others very much, and can even be said to be a corporal of Lixian, but many people feel that this is a manifestation of Zhang Xuan's extreme dissatisfaction with the prince's dispatch to the supervising army. ...,

Not really.

Zhang Xuan looked around at everyone and smiled secretly in his heart, but he guessed the thoughts of the generals.

He turned around and stared at Li Fuguo, who was lying on the stretcher, and suddenly smiled indifferently and said, "Lord Li, yesterday this official was a regular military discipline, and he had to be tortured, if there is any offense, please forgive me Lord Li." ”

"This official governs the army, and has always advocated strict words, and military orders are like mountains. If people have no faith, they will not stand, and if the army is not disciplined, they will not be able to form an army. When the army moves, it must be ordered to stop. Today, this official once again reiterates in front of you that no matter who violates military discipline and state law from this official down, this official will not pay dividends, and will be severely punished!"

Zhang Xuan's voice slowly became cold.

Feng Changqing and the others hurriedly got up and bowed together, "Xiaguan (the last general and others must obey the orders of the capital governor!)

Li Fuguo said in his heart, you are a young cat crying rat fake Cizhi, and the rod scolded our family for twenty and almost killed our family, what do you want in turn?

Li Fuguo said softly in his signature shrill voice, "Fuguo violated military discipline and was engaged in military law by the Metropolitan Governor, and he was ashamed in his heart, and he never complained. ”

Zhang Xuan laughed loudly, "Li Jianjun can think like this, and this official is very comforted in his heart. Speaking of which, Li Jianjun's trip to Longshuo was the result of the official personally going to the East Palace to plead with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Prison State. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was reluctant to let him go, but the official felt that it was very important to go to Longshuo and pro-Tubo, and if there was a military officer from the side of Li Jianjun, he could share a lot of pressure for the official. ”

"Zhou Changshi, I will tell the military doctor in a while to go and treat the staff wound of Li Jianjun. This way of marching to Longshuo, the road is long, and Li Jianjun is wounded and accompanied the army, which is inconvenient. ”

When Zhang Xuan said this, Feng Changqing and the others were taken aback. This Li Fuguo was sent to the army as a supervisor, and it was Zhang Xuan himself who took the initiative to ask for it?

Chen Tong felt a little weird, and secretly glanced at Zhang Xuan and frowned. After being in contact with Zhang Xuan for a period of time, Chen Tong always felt that Zhang Xuan couldn't see through it, and there seemed to be a layer of fog around his body. He remembered the words of his grandfather Chen Xilie to him the night before leaving: "Tong'er, although Zhang Xuan is young, he is decisive in killing, and his power and tactics are very accessible." When you do things under him, be cautious, and you must not speak too much, and you must not be clever. Remember the old man's words, with the old man in Chang'an, Zhang Xuan can naturally give you a meritorious fortune. ” @
