Li Zhang

After Li Zhang left, Sima Yi sat blankly on the soft couch, and was speechless with Jin Bai who was sitting at the same table.None of them expected such a result, nor did they expect Li Zhang to peel off so simply.The compensation Sima Yi had repeatedly imagined had no room for implementation at all. Li Zhang's undisguised contempt made him lose interest in imperial power and the throne again.

He looked at Jin Bai, who was also listless, and remembered the purpose of their trip, so he cheered up and asked him, "When will Bai Qi come back?"

Jin Bai shook his head and said: "If Yanmen County has long been Cheng Xuan's secret son, it would not be easy for Bai Qi to obtain direct evidence." He suddenly had an idea, "Why doesn't the emperor use this to reward the county guards and county magistrates and call them Come to Beijing and give a reward, I think they won't refuse it like Li Zhang did!"

Sima Yi's eyes lit up immediately: "Not bad! Let's do it like this!"

They immediately prepared to leave for Beijing.Because Sima Yi's private server has not been publicized so far, this trip back to Beijing is also low-key and simple, only Su Qingyang personally sees him off.Jin Bai said goodbye to Su Qingyang politely, and did not mention the topic of Li Zhang again.Sima Yi pretended to be Jin Bai's entourage and guard, standing behind him and looking into the distance with his hands behind his back, completely ignoring Su Qingyang's worried eyes.

Su Qingyang hesitated again and again, and still approached Jin Bai and whispered: "Master Jin, please leave as soon as possible! If what your lord said is true, Bingzhou is not a safe place. Your Majesty..." He glanced at Sima Yi and muttered dissatisfiedly One sentence, "It's too capricious!"

Jin Bai raised his eyebrows: "General Su finally believes what Jin Bai said?"

Su Qingyang replied with a little embarrassment: "Su Mou thought about it all night yesterday, and felt that Li Zhang's matter is indeed full of doubts. Su Mou may be too preconceived."

As he spoke, he glanced at Sima Yi, who was still straight and gloomy, and explained reluctantly: "Li Zhang's past...is too complicated, and there are many ambiguities. He suddenly came to Dingbei Army In the process, I naturally have doubts about his purpose. Besides," he said more hesitantly, "he once committed a rebellious act with the intention of killing the king..."

Jin Bai looked back at Sima Yi helplessly, and Sima Yi turned his head just in time.Su Qingyang hesitated for a moment, did not avoid his gaze, and looked at Sima Yi calmly.Sima Yi looked at him coldly for a while, then suddenly approached him and asked in a low voice: "Does General Su feel that Gu is a foolish king who would bet on the world and the people just for a ban?"

"...The minister is terrified!"

Su Qingyang was shocked, almost knelt down in fright, and was quickly supported by Jin Bai, pretending to be panicked: "General Su will ruin Jin Bai by doing this! The matter here is over, Jin Bai will set off as soon as possible, General Su Please go back!"

Su Qingyang looked at Sima Yi anxiously, Sima Yi had turned around again, his profile was awe-inspiring, with the unquestionable majesty of the emperor.He gave a deep salute in fear, and pleaded in a low voice: "It's not because the minister has the intention to question, but because the evidence is too obvious..." He was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have figured something out, adding some epiphany to his panic , "I will try my best to find out what happened to Li Zhang, and I will not let him be wronged!"

Sima Yi snorted, and wanted to ignore Li Zhang's injury, but he could not let go of Li Zhang's injury, so he ordered coldly: "Let a military doctor take a look at his injury! I will not hold you accountable for private punishment, but if he is injured again, you will be punished." Don't blame Gu Zhen for being that stupid king who destroyed the Great Wall himself!"

"……Yes!"

After finally sending Sima Yi and his party away, Su Qingyang only felt chills on his back, and his whole body felt cold after being exposed to the scorching sun!He kept standing still, until the horse team had long since disappeared, and he still stood there without moving.

The guards left by him in the distance didn't know, so they stood by him for a long time, and were about to step forward to ask, when suddenly a commanding soldier rushed to Su Qingyang, rushed to Su Qingyang and reported: "The Ministry of War urgently reports!"

Su Qingyang regained his senses, received the message from the soldiers, frowned after reading it, and got on his horse back to the camp without saying a word.

When Su Qingyang returned to the commander's tent, the main generals of each battalion had already heard the news, and they were gathering together to guess the content of the urgent report from the Ministry of War, eager to try a possible battle.After Su Qingyang reconfirmed the order and the military talisman of the Ministry of War, he ordered Wu Zijun to lead the vanguard battalion to support Liangzhou's anti-violence. Zhao Boxi wanted to fight for the Zhongjun battalion, but Su Qingyang flatly refused.Wu Zijun's request to Su Qingyang to bring Li Zhang along was also rejected by Su Qingyang, and Zhang Yu was also kept.

Li Zhang was also taken aback when he heard that the Qiang and barbarians in Liangzhou had risen to resist the officials, and quickly started a prairie fire that became a Han-Yi dispute in Liangzhou. When he contacted the situation in Yanmen County, he felt that there was a big problem.He was still in custody, and Zhang Yu only told him about the sudden situation when he brought the military doctor over.He was worried about Wu Zijun, and Zhang Yu persuaded him instead: "Zijun is no longer the Zijun in the guard camp back then. Since he took over the vanguard camp, his violent temper in the past has calmed down a lot, so he should be careful. Anyway, he He is also a person who has gone through countless hard battles, even if he is not as careful as you, he still has calm judgment."

Li Zhang heard that he no longer insisted, but refused the military doctor's treatment.Zhang Yu didn't agree with anything, approached him and forcibly lifted the back of his clothes, but when he could see him, he froze immediately.I saw that on the exposed skin, apart from the messy blood scabs mixed in the bruises, there were more ugly old scars, with different colors and roughness, and there was no intact place!

Zhang Yu was stunned and didn't speak for a long time. Li Zhang straightened his clothes and politely said to the military doctor who was standing aside: "It's really all right. Please take a trip for nothing!"

Seeing this, the military doctor stopped insisting, packed up the medical box and left first.

Only then did Li Zhang blame Zhang Yu and said, "Brother is too nervous! How can there be such a serious injury. If you keep protecting me like this, I really won't be able to fly!"

Zhang Yuwu lowered his head, remembering his boasting back then, and said listlessly: "That's just my elder brother's self-righteousness, how could my elder brother protect you! Even this time, I can't share one or two for you."

He raised his head, looked at Li Zhang and asked, "Why didn't the emperor take you away when he came back? General Su dared to disobey the emperor's will?"

Li Zhang frowned and said, "I won't leave. Those false accusations will be cleared one day, why should I leave with other reasons?"

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it. I can handle my own affairs!"

There was no room for change in Li Zhang's words, and the expression on his face was extremely cold and decisive.Zhang Yu stared at him blankly, and suddenly asked with some difficulty: "Those...are all the emperors...?"

Li Zhang was stunned, dazed for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Yes, and no. Brother, don't get entangled. I have my own discretion. I won't lose my life for unnecessary stubbornness, Zhiqing Still waiting for me, how can I bear her!"

Zhang Yu let out a sigh of relief, looked at Li Zhang and shook his head slightly and said, "Brother is confused, always thinking that you are still the same as you at that time. If you can think so, brother can rest assured!"

"Big Brother's friendship, Li Zhang has always been in his heart. Without the support and protection of Big Brother and Brother Ang, Li Zhang would not be able to get to where he is today. I will live well, big brother don't worry!"

Zhang Yu didn't say any more, hugged Li Zhang tightly, hesitated for a while, still pressed his head into his arms, rubbed it hard a few times, let go and left.

Li Zhang looked at the re-closed door behind Zhang Yu, thinking about the changes in Liangzhou, his expression became more and more dignified.

At the end of August, Sima Yi and Jin Bai, who had returned to the capital, knew the whole story of the Liangzhou war.It turned out that when Sima Yifu left the capital, the Liangzhou secret guards' report on the Qiang and Barbarian riots arrived.Bai Shan didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sent it to Mu Yan, who was in charge of the hidden guard.Afterwards, the Liangzhou Inspector's urgent residence report was also delivered, and Meng Yao, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurriedly sought Prime Minister Wei Pingxuan to discuss with Mu Yan.Seeing that the Liangzhou defenders could not control the situation at all, Mu Yan was worried that the riots would spread to nearby states and counties and break the fragile balance in northern Xinjiang. State and Qinzhou garrison reinforcements first, and strive to control the riots at the current stage and make a quick decision.

Sima Yi and Jin Bai's attention was originally on Yanmen County, but it was a surprise to hear that this happened.Jin Bai immediately transferred to Baishan the remittances of the Liangzhou dark guards, and then called out all the previous remittances for a closer look, and finally he found that in the wording and sentences before and after, there was a sentence that Baishi used to use since the end of June. It never appeared in Huicheng again, but the seal used in Huicheng is still Baishi's seal!

Jin Bai's shock was no small matter, and he immediately sent someone to contact Wu Zijun, and at the same time sent Bai Shan to Liangzhou to investigate the situation of various ministries and the details of the riots, and forbade Bai Shi Bai Wu's letter seal.The hidden guard system that he was once proud of suddenly made mistakes and omissions one after another, which made him feel an unprecedented major crisis while being annoyed.

A few days later, the governor of Yanmen County and the magistrate of Xiurong County went to Beijing to receive the reward. Sima Yi summoned them in the Taiji Hall. After a lot of gold and silver, they were sent to the post house to rest, and they were rewarded after discussion by the officials.The two of them thanked Tian'en with sincerity and fear, and were very pleasantly surprised by this good thing that fell from the sky. In the evening, Shen Yaochen came to the door in person to talk a little bit, and the two told the whole story of the incident.

The county magistrate of Xiurong was originally disheartened because of the concubine's affairs, but the clinker detectives actually managed to catch the spies by a capable person, which made him proud again.He didn't know who Li Zhang was. It must be a good thing to make his immediate boss look more favorably. Naturally, he could make things look as good as possible.However, the Yanmen County Code is quite crisis-conscious. As soon as Li Zhang got the secret seal letter, he consulted with his master because of accidents and panic, and only after confirming that it was correct did he act according to the order. Together with the master, the criminal was tried again, and then Su Qingyang was notified to assist in the arrest of the spies.

Jin Bai had a direction, and immediately ordered Bai Qi to directly track down the arresting officer and the master. Just now, he felt a little relieved, and the secret guard and the mansion reported at the same time that Xianbei raided Yanmen Pass, and Rouran also left the building to pass the news!

At that time, Liangzhou riots had been going on for more than half a month, not only the Wei army supported by Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Qinzhou was defeated again and again, even Wu Zijun's vanguard battalion was in deep trouble.The initial mob has long since unknowingly turned into a brave and capable army, and then the right time, place and people are in harmony, and they always predict the enemy first and win by surprise.The Qianfeng Battalion suffered a big loss in the early stage of cooperation with the Liangzhou government army, and then turned to fight independently. Although it was difficult to survive, they seized the opportunity to fight a fierce battle on the beach near Tongxin. , Chasing the remnant army into the thorn ditch, the result was ambushed by the mourning army in the ditch!

Wu Zijun was caught off guard. Although he became vigilant after Jin Bai's reminder and no longer relied on the intelligence of the Liangzhou government army, the mourning army had obviously ambushed here, so his scouts had nothing to gain!

Extremely unfavorable terrain, double the number of people, and the morale of waiting for work...

Wu Zijun felt the pressure that he had never felt before. Looking at the soldiers struggling in the rolling wood and rocks, he summoned up the firm courage of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.He ordered the entire battalion to break through from all directions.

The mourning army sealed the mouth of the ditch with a crossbow cart, and the arrows of the crossbow were as dense as locusts. Together with the burning rockets, they blocked the life of the forward battalion into a lifeless Shura field.

Wu Zijun ordered people to cut down green vines as much as possible to wrap them around the shield, and filled the bag with sand, and when it was dark, the whole team broke out.The valley, which had been quiet for less than two hours, became noisy again. The Aijun guessed the action of the Qianfeng Battalion, and heavily guarded the Mizoguchi. The bright blades under the light of the rocket made the atmosphere even colder.The soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion had a dignified expression and rushed forward against the rain of arrows in a formation that had been practiced for a long time.
