11. Prepare for all things

The emperor's edict was written in precious flower silk paper and Shanggu ink. Gao Yue threw it hard and smashed it on the mud under the post station's livestock railing. It happened that the post horses in it were pouring out hot urine, which made the edict dirty.

The atmosphere of the whole scene became quiet. Gao Chongwen, Gao Gu and even the monk Mingxuan stared at Yuanwailang who was suddenly angry, not understanding why.

Gao Yue, who was still breathing, realized that his behavior was wrong...

However, Guo Xiaofeng walked over, picked up the edict calmly, and then wiped it clean and arranged it, so this strange action was covered up.

Then, the man-wai-robe in a furry suit, with his hands behind his back, walking back in the circle in a bit anxiously under the scorching sun, and did not talk to others.

No, no, Gao Chongwen's two thousand Shen Ce troops are still combat-effective. They must be stationed in Fengtian City and cannot be pulled away by the emperor, otherwise they will lose a strong bargaining chip on the entire battlefield in the future.

Now I have to come up with a solution.

After a long time, Gao Yue walked back to the inn hall and asked for paper and ink. Then he picked up his pen and wrote it upright word by word.

This was his consultation letter to the emperor of the capital, saying that there were still tens of thousands of stones of patrol rice in Baili City, which could be transferred to the granary of the capital for supplying the front line. Therefore, Gao Chongwen and the two thousand Shence troops were temporarily staying in Fengtian for a while. I first went back to Baili City to organize people to transport the rice to Fengtian, and then after the delivery was completed, I escorted it to the capital with General Gao Chongwen.

Let's delay for a while and see what changes are happening in the current situation.

Now the court's advantage has gradually collapsed, alas!

After taking Gao Yue's memorial, the men handed over the salute and rushed eastward again...

Fengtian is about 180 miles away from Chang'an. If you are fast, you can walk back and forth in two or three days.

It has to be said that Emperor Li Shi was very efficient in reading memorials. On the third day, the Yima in the capital went to Fengtian City.

The emperor gave Gao Yue a month to handle this matter.

Gao Yue immediately invited Monk Mingxuan, Gao Gu, and Wei Tuotian companion to go back to Baili City with him, and asked Gao Chongwen to lead the team to stay in Fengtian City for the time being, and don’t walk around.

In the surging Wutingchuan, Gao Yue pulled the reins and waded by the horse. The splashing water wet his clothes. His mood was even more urgent than the running horse.

In front of the party gate of Bailicheng, Gao Yue was just sweating profusely and underground, and Zhihui came to greet him, "There are letters from Xichuan here!"

"Who sent it?" Gao Yue was stunned and asked with the back of his hand and rubbed his forehead.

"There are so many. It was first sent by Langjun Zheng. My mistress cut it with a knife and found out that it was a great thing. Later, the generals of the army who were left by your father-in-law in Xichuan also sent me a letter to deliver it."

Gao Yue threw the whip tip to Wei Tuotian, and then took out several letters handed by Zhihui. He was in the shade of the pear tree in the courtyard of the government. He looked and read. As he read, his face changed drastically.

"Li Xilie actually advanced westward, broke Wu Pass, and was approaching Shang Yu..."

This is different from the original script! Li Xilie was stimulated or influenced by someone, and actually took such a move. But I have to say that this move is too cruel.

Li Xilie's march was very fast. Ge Shu Yao, Liu Dexin, Li Mian and other imperial generals thought he would focus on the water transportation of the Bian River, but he didn't react. Unexpectedly, he had already broken through Wu Pass and entered the Shangzhou border adjacent to Jingzhao Prefecture. Jia Dan, the governor of Shannan West Road, was still leading the main team to the Gucheng, which was nearing Xiangyang City, according to the original arrangement of the court. The defense in the interior of his jurisdiction was very weak, which was just conducive to Li Xilie avoiding the real and attacking the virtual.

At this time, Li Xilie's Huaining rebels were only 200 miles away from Chang'an City.

Soon the Shang and Jin were shocked, and then Xichuan and Dongchuan were also exposed to the enemy situation. Zhang Yanshang quickly sent postmen out of Luogu Road to report to the court. At the same time, Zheng Zhi and Cui Ning's former general Han Tan and Zhang Feng also wrote letters to tell Gao Yue about this and let him prepare as soon as possible in Jingyuan and Fengtian.

"A Ni, A Ni!" Gao Yue quickly ran to the back house. At this time, Yun Shao was in the yard, holding Jing'er's little hand and bowing to teach him how to walk. Jing'er was interested in the little lieutenant Zhui Bao.

"Songqing, is Fengtianying City over?"

Then it was evening. Gao Yue, his wife Yun Shao and concubine Zhihui sat in his hall together, facing the chief clerk Liu Deshi, the three brothers Ming Huaiyi, the military commander of the city, Hou Lan, Cheng Junren, and Gao Gu, the military farmer who came with him. Then he bowed deeply. Gao Yue said loudly: "Now the situation is urgent. Yue's wife, concubine, and son, have all entrusted them to you!"

Everyone hurriedly replied, "Gao Wailang's words are so serious, why is this?"

"Li Xilie has already been on the post road and approaching the capital. For this matter, I must go to report my advice to Your Majesty. My wife and children are left in this city. I hope you can protect them well. I will be grateful to this senior year of high school."

While Liu Deshi was shocked, he also advised Gao Yue: "Yi Song, Shangzhou is the important post road of the imperial court. The messenger's news frequently exchanges every day. At this time, the court must have known the military situation and is on guard."

"Brother Fangzhai, I am worried because the court may already know the military situation." Gao Yue became anxious.

The emperor Li Shi didn't know that it was okay. Once he knew, he would be as fierce as a tiger and would definitely make a big mistake. His previous eyes were mainly focused on whether the emperor would draw troops from Jingyuan. But who would have thought that Li Xilie would sing such a play, so the emperor would definitely mobilize teams from Hezhong and Hedong to intercept Li Xilie. At this point, all parties' grudges against the court had reached the critical point of explosion.

So Gao Yue said directly that if Li Xilie attacked Jingzhao, Fengxiang's situation would probably shake violently, especially the group of Fan Yang soldiers left by Zhu Li would probably cause trouble and affect Jingyuan:

"Bailicheng will be left to Brother Fangzhai for protection, and please help Brother Gao (Gu)."

Liu Deshi mustered up the courage, but Gao Gu did not refuse.

"General Ming asked you to summon Mei Qing, all the children in the small three provinces, go to the Mafang to get horses, and ask the tribe women to carry wooden crossbows to help protect the military farm and the city."

"Let me leave it. Gao Wailang is my father, and your wife is my mother!"

"General Hou and General Cheng, please lead You Yi to take control of the 800 Fan Yang soldiers in Lingtai Old County. If they have any trouble, they will immediately kill the leader."

"Get orders!" Hou Lan and Cheng Junren said with fists.

"Wei Tuotian, you are good at running. Please travel between Wei Chengwu in our city and Wei Chengwu in Yinyang City to convey the message. Remember, if there is any change, you must always remember to lean side by side with Wei Chengwu."

"Oh!" Wei Tuotian agreed silly.

"Master, please ask you all the strategies and tricks of defending the city."

Master Mingxuan closed his eyes and sang the promise together.

After giving the order, it was midnight, and Gao Yue hurriedly ate under the corridor of his yard, Acuo raised the fire, and Wei Tuotian rushed to feed the horses and saddle them in the yard.

Gao Yue is about to set off and head for the capital.
