Chapter 154, Liangzhou affairs
Li Xu let his eyes stern and murmured to himself, "I will be looking at the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditches."
Zheng Zheng seemed to have gained something, "Ji Zheng, the founding of the Great Xia for four hundred years, and glory will be reappeared. Today, it is like a white rainbow that penetrates the sun and hits the moon, the Qin Dynasty's government is corrupt, the people are living in poverty, the East Lin rebelled, and the Western Regions are in chaos, and you are urgently needed to correct the situation."
Li Xu let the eyes flash and fell into deep thought. The older generation in the court, except for the upper and lower courts, remained in the center of power, and those who held heavy troops left. Once the general left, he was only left. Wang Huan had old grudges with him. Because of Chen Zhi's affairs, Pan Taiwei had no contact. Whether it was self-protection or for the sake of the Qin Dynasty, he wanted to pull the terminally ill Qin out of the quagmire. He should also return the glory of the Great Xia, let China and the Han Dynasty reunite.
The world has changed and it is getting harder. The last time I went back to Chang'an from Liangzhou, the war in the west was not so desolate. As soon as the Shenwu Army dispersed, the Dingsai Army, Jingbian Army and the imperial army rushed forward. Liangzhou is the rear. Whether the Yang family's food and grass or the Central Army's food and grass all came from here. The war seemed to be getting worse and worse. You could hear the defeats from the west along the way. Fu Qing was disdainful. Apart from the Shenwu Army, there was no army that could be fought, and even the Yang family could not do it. I wonder if Dagou and the others could come back smoothly.
The brothers and brothers of the Yang family went to the west, just in line with Fu Rui's wishes. There were a lot of refugees in Liangzhou. The family members were taking care of themselves everywhere, and the shadows of bargaining everywhere. Zhao Feibai lamented how the world became like this. The human touch was almost impossible to match Mobei. Lu Yan laughed at him. Mobei was desolate, and people would die if they didn't join in. The closer they got to the Central Plains, the more people were missing.
The sky became darker and darker. Zhao Fei, Bai and Lu Yan were dressed as Hu merchants. As Fu Qing entered Liangzhou, the city gate slowly closed with a creaking sound. Liangzhou was locked, and dozens of Hu merchants who entered the city at the same time also came from the Western Regions. They were rushing to do their last business with Daqin before the war spread to the Central Plains.
The old official of the city gate checked the office very seriously. Perhaps he was anxious to see the American concubine at home. He threw the office back to everyone after a random look. As soon as the gate closed, he breathed a sigh of relief, dragged his hat and threw down his horizontal knife, and hurriedly left.
"Tao Liu, why are you anxious to go back?" the young follower asked jokingly.
The old official smiled helplessly, ignored the young follower and hurried away.
Dozens of Hu merchants were not noisy, only the sound of horse hooves and occasional noise. They felt that these people were like themselves. There was a problem. The old officials in the city gate also had problems. The Hu people rode Liangzhou horses, and they were nectar and jade liquid. They were all locally produced things and could not be sold at a price. They were obviously not from Liangzhou. They spoke unfamiliar Mandarin. After coming in, they had no guide and walked for a long time like a headless fly.
Zhao Feibai touched the Hu people. He grew up in the north of the desert and was very familiar with the Hu people. Judging from their appearance, they were Khitans who believed in the wolf god. They called themselves Liao people and were separated from the Shang Dynasty from the Great Qin. They generally did not interact with the Great Qin. Only the Western Regions could move around.
"Brother Qing, those Hu people are Khitans, soldiers, and the most elite wolf cubs, who are the same as the Shenwu Army in the Qin Dynasty, but they are followed by people, and at least three groups of people are staring at them."
Fu Qing and the other two sat in front of a noodle stall, sucking noodles with their noodle. The cavalry traveled back and forth on the street. Zhao Feibai was envious of the sound of the Xiliang horse. He wanted his own Xiliang horse, not the mule or donkey he was going to buy. The horse was military supplies. If Fu Qing was still the young marshal, it would be no problem to get a few.
Fu Qing lowered his head from beginning to end. Among the crowds who walked into the city on the first day, there were Xia Yuting and Ye Hongqiu, the ghosts were still gone. I heard that there were many people coming to the courtyard, right in the temple in the northeast of the city. And the casual stroke of the cavalry leader just now made him sweat. Fu Qing ignored life and death. He was a hunter on the battlefield, and the hunter had the same sense of smell, especially for his similar people. His vision just now was as keen as himself, which made Fu Qing feel extremely dangerous. The cavalry belonged to the courtyard, the Yang family, or Li Xu of Liangzhou, and had no clue. After all, he was a criminal offender now, and he could not stay in the city for too long. He went all the way to the northeast and left the sphere of influence of the Qin Dynasty. He was safe.
Liangzhou has frequently mobilized troops, and maybe something big is going to happen. Fu Qing has a bad premonition. Li Xurang's local tyrants for ten generations, and after the Xia Dynasty royal family, he was his father's confidant general many years ago. It was said that his father was killed. Li Xurang could not make any moves. He had not had any contact for many years, and Fu Qing did not dare to disturb him rashly. Fu Rui pre-accepted the troops of the world and also wanted to see if the local forces were willing to speak with strength. If they were useless to speak with their strength, they would be useless.
All the officials in the court were all human beings, and they had plans for every step. Fu Rui and his group of people may not be able to fight against local snakes like Li Xurang. Fu Qing held a large porcelain bowl and drank hot soup bit by bit. The arrow of the broken leaves shot Fu Qing to practice martial arts. Fu Qing didn't care. He was determined to become a enemy of ten thousand people since he was a child. Kung Fu was just a path, but it was a pity that the sun and moon methods in his mind. Lu Yan and Zhao Feibai were both wolf-eating whale-eating people. They had already finished eating noodles and drank soup. They wanted to use bamboo sticks to pick their teeth, but the noodle soup was really meatless. Zhao Feibai touched his still croaking stomach and said, "Brother Qing, those wolf guards have problems. The goods they carry are far from enough for their expenses in this trip. A business that is safe and unprofitable, are they stupid by the wind?"
Fu Qing did not reply immediately. He thought for a while, frowned, and slowly said, "The Qin Dynasty is causing a grain shortage. The Western Army is short of food for a day or two. A few days ago, he saw that the grain did not go west, but instead transported it back. Liangzhou's army and horses were frequently mobilized. Yesterday, the Wolf Guard entered Xiliang. It seems that Liangzhou has not had a few days to have a safe birthday. Fu Rui has made moves, so let's leave tonight."
The atmosphere in Liangzhou City was tense. Last night, Zhao Feibai followed the Wolf Guard. The Wolf Guard and Ye Hongqiu entered the city. Who knows if they have any connection? In a narrow alley not far from the governor's mansion, Zhao Feibai was intercepted. The alley was dark and surrounded by low houses. There were no taller buildings near the prefect's mansion. While Zhao Feibai tiptoed, there was a cold murderous intent behind him, just like the feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake in the desert when he was a child.
Zhao Feibai turned around and took action without any hesitation. The sword light flashed. When a sound, Zhao Feibai saw a heart-protecting mirror swaying on the ground. There was a clear sword mark on it. The person who came was gone. What is this? Is it a warning?
