Chapter 84: Going North to Youzhou
At the fifth o'clock in the morning, the sound of the dongdong drums resounded throughout the city. When the first round of drums fell silent, the gates of the eastern capital Luoyang opened one after another.
The awakened people who had been preparing for a long time were hiding among the crowds, and after leaving the city, they spread in all directions.
Since he still needs to find the source of water for brewing wine, he naturally has to do his best. Gao Mang sent 18 Tianxing people out of the city this time, and there were five Tianxing people bodyguards.
Ma Dadao broke one of his arm and was easily recognized, so Gao Mang left him in Luoyang's guard house, and then took Ma Gu out of the training ground and accompanied him for a while.
When all the awakened people from all over the world were far away from Luoyang City and left the eyeliner behind them, they quietly galloped towards Youzhou in the north.
Youzhou City is Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou. It is probably in today's Beijing area. Luoyang is more than a thousand miles away from Youzhou. If you dig out the time for the back and forth on the road, they will only have one night of time to move.
Gao Mang equipped everyone with mutated Turkic horses, one out of thousands. This horse is short and not noticeable, and has amazing foot strength and extremely fast speed. It is no problem to travel two thousand miles a day.
As for Gao Mang himself, he still rode his green donkey. The little guy was trapped in Luoyang for too long and it was time to move.
On the path to Bianzhou, Gao Mang rode his horse and Magu chased him closely behind. Although he was extremely nervous, he felt extremely happy.
Wang Wei followed in the end, always keeping Gao Mang in his sight, while also paying attention to whether there are followers behind him.
You must never go to Wangwu Mountain, otherwise you will violate the emperor's taboo. Moreover, there are many emperor's eyeliners around Wangwu Mountain, so Gao Mang cannot even get close to him.
Therefore, the route Wang Wei chose was to first go to Bianzhou in the east, then go north to Weizhou in Hebei Road, then pass through Hengzhou and finally arrive at Youzhou City, the capital of Youzhou, which is now Beijing.
This route is exactly in line with Gao Mang's intention. Well, in the future, An Lushan and Shi Siming rebelled, and the rebels went south to this route.
Gao Mang was a little excited and nervous. Unlike the last time Xiaoshan City blocked the Yin soldiers, the operation to destroy the secret base of Youzhou was his first mission in the true sense. The twelve Awakening people who participated in this operation were also selected by him.
The fake Taoist nun Zheng Sanniang, who is in charge of intelligence, the abacus Wangwan, and the woodcutter Zu Yong,
The sword girl Li Shier Niang, who is responsible for the investigation, Shen Fang, Luo Xinghe,
Liu Fangping, the handsome man in charge of assassinating the infiltration, holds a sword servant,
Poet Buddha Wang Wei, Taoist Li Quan, and Dong Da Dong Tinglan who are responsible for supporting the overall situation.
Well, there is another big shot who has already set out in advance and will meet them in Youzhou.
Gao Mang was excited to think about it. The poet Li Bai, who never thought that he would be able to see the style so soon and fight side by side with him.
In fact, what Gao Mang was most worried about was that the spy sent by Zhenbei in the next Dao alarmed An Lushan. An Lushan would transfer the secret base, but this possibility was not great.
The power of Youzhou is extremely complex. The Khitans, Xi people, Bohai people, Hei Shui Mohe, the Silla people in Northeast Asia, and even the Japanese people all move around the surroundings all year round.
Fur merchants from the south and the Central Plains often traveled and intervened. Some were spies themselves, while others collected and sold various military business information. This was an open secret.
The exposed spy was a Silla man who was selling food to monitor the surroundings of An Lushan's mansion. Moreover, he had committed suicide, so it was difficult to determine his origin based on his identity alone.
It is not ruled out that An Lushan will strengthen the defense of the secret base, but since it is a secret base for creating Yin soldiers, it will definitely not send regular troops to protect it. It can only be elites with a limited number of people and even those who wake up the sky.
With intentional calculations but no intentions, Gao Mang and the fourteen awakened people suddenly launched an action, which was enough to catch the other party off guard and resolve the battle before reinforcements arrived.
As for the detailed action plan, Gao Mang can only improve it after meeting Li Bai and exchanging information.
Gao Mang believed in Li Bai, and the big idol would definitely not disappoint him.
In real history, when Li Bai was traveling to Youzhou in Tianbao's eleventh year, he keenly realized that An Lushan was going to rebel. Unfortunately, no one believed him, and An Lushan turned against him three years later.
Therefore, the poet's eyes can always find things that others cannot find, and the great poet is even more so.
Just as Gao Mang headed north, a heavy snow fell from the sky in the north. The bitter cold wind swept the snow all over the sky, covering Youzhou City, and the entire city was outlined with a coarse grain.
There is a tall mansion in the city, with heavy guard. Even though the weather is cold and the wind is snowing, dozens of elite soldiers wearing armor and hanging swords on both sides of the steps outside the hall are still standing like statues.
The fire in the hall was warm and warm as spring. A middle-aged man in his fifties was wearing a loose cotton jacket, sitting cross-legged on the soft collapse, holding a crystal cup in his hand, constantly shaking the glass of Chinese wine.
Below is a scholar standing, reciting poems with passion:
The country's important city is Youdu, and the east is powerful, the nine Yi and the north is controlled by Hu.
The five armies had 300,000 elite soldiers, and they won the Shanyu in every battle.
It is adjacent to Hutuo and is easy to enjoy the water, and the mountains are fertile and fertile.
In the past, Yanshan was valued as a wise man, and the gold platform was built from Wei Shi.
...
The young scholar looked at the middle-aged man on the soft collapse in a flat manner like a reciting recitation: "This time, the general of Jieshi led our army to defeat the Khitan. The saint was overjoyed. All officials of the court wrote poems to congratulate him. Someone thought that this poem was the best, and the poem was full of the style of the famous general of Jieshishi."
Zhang Shougui, the governor of Youzhou, had a hint of compassion in his eyes and said lightly: "The poem is good, and the wine is better!" After that, he drank the Vulcan liquid in the cup.
The blush on his face flashed, and Zhang Shougui reminiscented endlessly and exclaimed in habit: "Good wine!"
In the bitter and cold land in the north, only this Fire God Liquid can be called wine. As for the ones he had drunk before, he was not even as good as horse urine.
It’s just a pity that the Vulcan liquid has a price but no market. Although the imperial court ordered the start of brewing Vulcan liquid, it would have to wait until half a year later.
Retracting his thoughts, Zhang Shougui looked at the middle-aged scholar below and asked lightly: "Tell me, what are the instructions for the noble man?"
The waiters and guards in the hall retreated one after another and closed the door at the same time.
The young scholar waited for a moment, probably because he could no longer hear the footsteps outside. Then he looked at Zhang Shougui and said seriously: "The noble man is in a humble manner. Now the Yin soldiers are in panic. I hope that the Jie Zheng puts the country and the country first and strengthens the surrounding inspections. However, if there are Yin soldiers, they must be eradicated."
Zhang Shougui stood up and crossed his hands towards Chang'an and said, "I will bear the responsibility of defending the territory. I know the importance of the nobles. Please be content with the nobles."
The young scholar returned the gift on behalf of the nobleman and immediately looked at Zhang Shougui, and then said, "The nobleman has also given instructions to eliminate all evil things and eliminate all the people related to the Yin Soldier incident!"
