Chapter 207 Heavy Duty

On the night when news of unstable subsidies in Tiele in Shuozhou and Weizhou came, many insiders in Bingzhou could not sleep all night.

Early the next morning, when Du Shiyi got up to wash, his eyes turned slightly blue and his spirits were not very good. He tossed and turned overnight, and he thought of many ideas, including his plan to find out about Zhang Shuo’s relationship with Wang Rong, who lived in the Grand Governor’s Office of Bingzhou. But the idea came and went quickly, and he denied it immediately. Not to mention that he had no deep friendship with Wang Yuanbao, he had only met Wang Rong twice. Even if he had a relationship, it would be absolutely inappropriate to bother the girl’s family. And through Wang Han visiting various famous families in Taiyuan City, or inquiring through other methods, he seemed to be mobilizing the army at the moment when such a war was about to break out. Therefore, he was a little helpless.

After breakfast, he learned that Wang Han had gone out, and he was less interested in going out. He danced a sword under the sun, sweated all over, and rushed with the well water, and then returned to the house and changed into a new clothes. Just as he was tying his belt, Liu Mo's voice came from outside: "Du Langjun, Zhang Envoy of the Grand Governor's Office ordered someone to ask you to go through the palace for a while."

"Come in and talk." When Liu Mo came in, Du Shiyi asked thoughtfully, "Do you just invite me, or Wang Langjun?"

"I have never mentioned Wang Langjun."

When Du Shiyi learned that there was no Wang Han, he couldn't help but squint his eyes. However, when things came to an end, his worry of gains and losses disappeared without a trace. With the intention of raising his head and slashing his head, he ordered Liu Mo to go out and prepare without saying a word, but before he could go out, he bumped into Yue Wuniang. He wanted to leave this girl who was as fierce as a fire at Wang Han's house, but under the gaze that was silent but sharp as a knife, he saw the little monk beside him stuttering in a low voice, not knowing what he said. He looked at the really strange combination of the pair and finally sighed.

"Okay, you guys come with me too."

When he saw Zhang Shuo again in the Half Moon Hall of the Grand Governor's Office, Du Shiyi saw that his eyes were not only black, but also covered with bloodshot eyes. Obviously, he had not been asleep for a night. Even after he entered the house, Zhang Shuo only glanced at him, and then his eyes were always staring at the huge map on the wall. When he was summoned, he saw that the detailed topographic map of Shuozhou, Weizhou, Bingzhou and other places were drawn with vermilion pens. One was the Hengye Army north of Anbian County, Weizhou, and the other was the area north of Shuozhou.

On the map with the blue-black character base pattern, these two circles look particularly dazzling.

"I wonder what instructions did Zhang Jun call me to come?"

Zhang Shuo sat down on the main seat under the map without saying a word, then raised his hand to signal Du Shiyi to sit opposite him. After a long time, he sighed and said, "You have just arrived in Bingzhou and encountered such an urgent military situation. It was a coincidence. I should have asked someone to send you to a safe prefecture and county, but now time is tight, so I have to lend you some use."

At this moment, Du Shiyi didn't know that the real critical moment had come. He sat up straight without hesitation, and said calmly and respectfully: "I'll ask the envoy Zhang to show me."

"It was Wang Ziyu's idea yesterday to send people to appease the surrendered households in Shuozhou and Weizhou. But it is easy to send people from the army of the various Caos in Bingzhou, but the results are unknown. So, I plan to go there myself." Zhang Shuocai said with a bright look, "But the Tieleba Yigu tribe in the north of Shuozhou is hundreds of miles away from the Tiele and Luo tribe in the Hengye Army of Weizhou. If I comfort one place and the other place is in chaos, then all my efforts will be wasted. So I still need a helper to comfort both places at the same time, and work together to do a two-pronged approach. If this can be successful, it will be a miracle."

Zhang said he actually planned to do his job himself

Du Shiyi couldn't help but take a deep breath. Seeing that the elderly elder showed an unconcealable edge, he finally understood why this person could still stand firm after several ups and downs. You must know that after being lured and killed by the 800 surrendered households in the Central Surrender City, the inner tribes said lightly that it was a cup of bow, snake, shadow, grass and trees, and heavy that it was a gunpowder barrel that was about to break out. If the most extreme means were used, it would be easy to go back when going, and even a whole body might not be able to be retrieved. Facing Zhang Shuo's scrutiny gaze, he asked back: "How many people are Zhang Jun going to take?"

"It's to comfort me, not to fight, twenty people are enough," Zhang Shuo smiled slightly, and then said meaningfully, "I heard that Du Shijiulang carries the silver seal given by the saint? If this is true, no one can match you in the entire Bingzhou Grand Governor's Office in terms of status. How about it, are you willing to share this with me?

He has not yet been granted the title of official position, and he is unwilling to just have the words of slight cleverness. However, Zhang Shuo has already said this to this point and is willing to go out of the Ma'an area to comfort the people. If he retreats, the rumors will be rumored out, and he will have many enemies. Even if he has nothing to do with him, he may destroy his foundation and reputation for his careful management over the past few years. At the moment of weighing the pros and cons, he suddenly realized that Zhang Shuo finally returned to the upward channel. Even if he had a friendship with Wang Maozhong and if something happened, he would naturally fall into the position of worshipping the prime minister this time. In other words, this is not only a danger, but also an opportunity.

Thinking of this, Du Shiyi bowed and said, "I'll ask the envoy Zhang to give me some advice."

Seeing that Du Shiyi had agreed, Zhang Shuo's eyes lit up and then laughed: "Okay, it's a good man with responsibility. Look, the Tielekun, who lives in the north of Shuozhou, is the Bayigu tribe. Although it was defeated by the Turks, it was only to be surrendered to our court. However, there were 3,000 tents of military and civilians, at least 20,000 people. It seems that it is not as good as before, but it must be noted that the nine surnames of Tielek have always been soldiers, and even women can ride and shoot. If they are really frightened, there will be chaos in Shuozhou in a blink of an eye, and it will be implicated in Daizhou in Lanzhou, and even Bingzhou will be in turmoil.

To the northwest of the Hengye Army in Weizhou is the Tongluo tribe, with about 2,000 tents and 5,000 people. At that time, because of Mochuo's brutality, the Tiel tribes rebelled, and the successor to the throne, Viga suppressed them, and the tribes were dispersed. Now the King of Hequ killed the surrendered house and wiped out many rebellious Pugu tribes, and was also one of the nine surnames of Tiel. They were afraid that the Bayigu tribe and the Tongluo tribe would hurt the same kind, and surrender to the Turks or lead the wolf into the house. The consequences at that time were unimaginable. It was the best way to be able to comfort and subdue them without using one sword and one soldier."

He paused, and then continued, "Of course, you are not very familiar with local customs and Turkic language. I will give you two books and history that understand these. The rest of the accompanying people are selected from the Heavenly Soldiers. I will give you one servant who I am using everyday. As for Shuozhou and Weizhou, you can go there at any time."

Looking at the two places four or five hundred miles away on the map, Du Shiyi pondered for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Then go to Weizhou."

Zhang Shuo nodded happily, and then immediately called a person in a decisive way. Obviously, he had already prepared Du Shiyi to agree to this matter. Whether it was the history of books, guards, or even the Mubin who came in, they all agreed respectfully in the face of the assignment. Finally, he was explaining the important points to Du Shiyi, and suddenly he only heard the preaching of the outside world: "Envoy, Wang Langjun asked for a meeting..."

As soon as he finished speaking, even Zhang said the answer was not yet spoken, but Wang Han rushed in like a gust of wind. Seeing the scene in the Half Moon Hall, he frowned and said without thinking: "Is it because the messenger of the sect has made such a big fight? Is it because I have already decided to go and appease the people who have surrendered the Tiel House?

Before Zhang could answer, Du Shiyi took the initiative to explain: "Brother Ziyu, Zhang Envoy is planning to take action himself, but Shuozhou and Weizhou are quite a distance apart, so I have agreed to Zhang Envoy to go to the Hengye Army in Weizhou, and Zhang Envoy to go to the Datong Army in Shuozhou."

"What"

When Wang Han got home, he learned that Zhang Shuo sent someone to invite Du Shiyi, but he didn't mention him at all. He rushed to the Grand Governor's Office, but unexpectedly he got such news. Looking at Zhang Shuo and Du Shiyi, knowing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, he frowned and said, "The journey of Weizhou is long, Du Shijiulang is not familiar with the place when he first arrived here. Even if Zhang Jun prepared a guide and other guards for him, he still couldn't help but lose his familiarity. Since that's the case, I will accompany Du Shijiulang to Weizhou, and speak in a straight and vertical manner... In other words, I will say that I have been there in that area."

"Brother Ziyu"

"Du Shijiulang, you need to say anything. I am the famous Wang Ziyu, a righteous and wealthy prince in Bingzhou City. Now you don't need me to lose money, but I still owe you such a big favor. It is natural to have a righteous trip."

Seeing Du Shiyi being choked by Wang Han, Zhang Shuo pondered for a while and finally nodded: "Okay, if Zi Yu is with him, this matter will be more certain. Remember, those Tiele cursed the house with fierce and weak on the inside. Because of the great victory of our Tang army and the Tiele Nine surnames in the fourth year of Kaiyuan, most of them were deeply afraid of our Tang army. As long as they could understand it, move it with emotion, and intimidate it with power."

After repeated instructions, Zhang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief just after he went out and prepared to leave.

The time when Wang Maozhong's servant arrived at the Chief Secretary's Office was too stuck. I'm afraid that one of them had sent letters before, and this one stayed in Taiyuan City to see how he was moving. He was ready to stop. Even if there was no Wang Han, the people he assigned to Du Shiyi were all elite soldiers and generals in the Grand Governor's Office. The servant Qian Lin also had to give him a face-to-face explanation. As long as the handling was done properly, the Tongluo tribe scattered near the Hengye Army should calm down. Even if he couldn't... he comforted the Datong Army and rushed over, it should still be too late.
