The Golden Age

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qiuniang was going to the kitchen. Although she did not fully understand what Gu Baiyi was talking about, she caught the words "dangerous" and "leave Kyoto", she couldn't help but ran to the door, looked inside, and asked, "How What's the danger? Are we leaving Kyoto?"

Gu Baiyi just said, "I didn't talk to you."

Qiuniang gave Gu Baiyi a glance, but she was curious. Although she walked away from the door, she still hid outside the house and eavesdropped on her, forgetting to cook.

"Why Big Brother Gu said that?" Qin Xiao heard that although Gu Baiyi said it was a guess, but his tone was clear: "You mean they are all imprisoned? This...why is this?"

Gu Baiyi wanted to say something but stopped. Qin Xiao saw that Gu Baiyi had a slight worry and said sincerely: "Brother Gu, if you are inconvenient to speak, you can leave it alone. But Xiling's army is in desperate situation. We rushed to Kyoto day and night, hoping to get there soon. Report the situation there to the court. Now Duwei Han and Master Du have not been seen. I came here for the first time, and there is no official status, and there is no way to find someone."

"You come with me." Gu Baiyi glanced outside the door, and seemed to know that Qiuniang was outside: "Sister, is the courtyard door tied? Don't let anyone in." He got up and took Qin Xiao to the left room. .

"No one will come in without closing the door." Qiuniang murmured: "Who would like to come in when we have had a meal without a meal." But she is very smart, knowing that Gu Baiyi does not want to be disturbed, or perhaps Say that you don't want others to hear their conversation.

Seeing Gu Baiyi taking Qin Xiao to the room, it was mysterious and strange, and he crept towards the window.

After Qin Xiao entered the room, he knew that it was Gu Baiyi’s bedroom. There were a few shabby bookshelves filled with books. There were so many books that they couldn’t fit on the bookshelves. The floor was padded with wooden boards, old cloth, and many books. Just pile it on top.

There were no chairs in the room, only one futon was on the ground. Gu Baiyi handed the futon to Qin Xiao to sit down, and he took a few books and sat under his hips.

"Brother Qin, you said Master Du went to the staff department, and Du Wei Han went to the war department. Is this correct?"

Gu Baiyi asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Qin Xiao also whispered: "They said that when they left the inn, but I can't be sure that they will arrive smoothly. If something happens on the way to the government office, it is not impossible, but this is possible. Very young. The three of me came to Beijing, and no one knew our identity. No one knew about our stay at the inn, and it was even impossible for anyone to follow them. So when we first arrived in Kyoto, if someone stopped them half way or even captured them, The possibility is slim."

"So they should all get where they want to go." Gu Baiyi looked at Qin Xiao and said, "According to what you said earlier, the change in Xiling was because the Fan family had been planning for a long time, not only secretly colluding with the pseudo-prince to train soldiers. Horse, and it is very likely that there is collusion with the Wutuo people."

"Yes." Qin Xiao nodded and said: "After the general returned to Xiling, he knew that the Utuo Khanate had been preparing for the eastward advance, and time was pressing, so he immediately focused his energy on the deployment of troops and horses. I didn't expect that the Fan family had been planning for a long time, and this was taken advantage of.

Gu Baiyi shook his head and said, "This is only part of the reason. In the final analysis, the Fan family dared to start at Xiling and successfully seized Xiling because the court committed a crime.

Wrong of life."

"Fatal mistake?" Qin Xiao was startled.

Gu Baiyi sighed lightly: "Brother Qin, did the general have soldiers and horses in his hands during the rebellion in Xiling? In other words, when the rebels captured the three counties of Xiling, did they encounter resistance?"

Qin Xiao frowned, shook his head, and said: "When the general returned to Xiling, there were only a very small number of cavalry besides the guards of the night crow. The three horses of Xiling were taken in, and the general was also prepared to let them fight against the Wutuo. Important power, but......!"

"The general is an iron-blooded soldier. He has enough courage and tenacity. He also has rich combat experience. He knows how to march." Gu Baiyi sighed, "This is his greatest strength, but also his greatest weakness, because Putting all thoughts on the military, but neglecting the villain’s ghost tricks. If the general is given a year, Xiling Sanqi can indeed be loyal and brave by the general, but in a short time, the Xiling cavalry must be completely compliant. It is really difficult for the court."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly.

Since the establishment of Xiling Sanqi, what they ate was the food of the three great families of Xiling. Since the first day, they were branded with the symbols of the Xiling family.

They may have awe of General Black Feather in their hearts, but between the family and the general, they will only choose the family after all.

Qin Xiao believed that if Yuwen Chengchao really walked with Fan's family on New Year's Eve, the tiger cavalry would also target the general and become the general's enemy.

"The general's direct line is the town army of Woye Town." Gu Baiyi said sternly: "Woye Town has 15,000 town troops, of which 3,000 longevity army is the direct line of the general's direct line. It is brave and good at fighting, and it is also the entire north. The ace iron army of the four towns.” After a pause, he continued: “The fatal mistake made by the imperial court is that the longevity army was not transferred to Xiling in the first time. If after the general returns to Xiling, the longevity army can exit quickly, General With these three thousand brave soldiers and horses in their hands, the Xiling family may not dare to act rashly. Even if it is a real rebellion, it is absolutely impossible to successfully seize the three cities and control Xiling."

Gu Baiyi hit the nail on the head, and Qin Xiao felt it.

In fact, Qin Xiao was very strange at the beginning. After the general returned to Xiling, it is reasonable to say that the court should quickly transfer the army to Xiling to guard, but the Changsheng Army has been delayed for a long time, and it has been delayed for a few months without seeing a soldier in the pass. One pawn exited.

What Gu Baiyi said is true. If the Longevity Army leaves the customs and accepts Xiling’s defense, even though Fan’s family has Huangxi Deathwing cavalry, it is absolutely impossible to control the three most important cities of Xiling overnight.

"Brother Gu, the Changsheng Army didn't leave the pass. Is it because of the court?"

Gu Baiyi nodded slightly: "The general leaves the pass, and there is no longevity army. If you are bare-handed, how will the general respond if there is a change?"

"Why didn't the court dispatch troops quickly?" Qin Xiao asked.

Gu Baiyi thought for a while, and then said: "The four northern towns are garrisons stationed in Tiantian. Among them, the Changsheng Army, because of its impressive military exploits in Xiling, and the saint's special order, allowed the family members of the Changsheng Army to move to Woye Town. Cultivated land, so the Longevity Army has actually regarded Woye Town as its hometown. If the court mobilizes the Longevity Army to leave the customs, should the family members be brought along? Once the family members are brought along, they will naturally have to pay migration expenses. If not, the Longevity Army will be transferred.

After leaving, in order to stabilize the military spirit of the soldiers of the Changsheng Army, it is bound to pay their family members a settlement allowance. In any case, as long as the Changsheng Army moves, a large sum of silver must be sent first."

"Why didn't the court appropriate the money?" Qin Xiao frowned.

Gu Baiyi touched his chin, shook his head, and said, "The matter here is far more involved. Let's put it this way, the court has always regarded Murong in southern Xinjiang as its greatest enemy, even for the defense of the Tusun people in the north. , Is also far more important than Xiling. After all, the two strongest forces that disturbed the restlessness of the Tang Dynasty were the Murong and Tusun people in southern Xinjiang. Therefore, most of the military expenditures of the imperial court were spent in the north and south directions. In order to obtain more money, food and equipment, the large army has always been intriguing...!"

Qin Xiao was immediately stunned. He was in Xiling and had been serving as a small Jiazi Supervisor for many years. He didn't know much about the affairs in Guan, and he had no interest in affairs in Korea.

"Over the years, the Southern Army Corps has always had the upper hand, accounting for 60% of its annual military expenditures, while the number of soldiers and horses in the four northern towns is not lower than that of the Southern Army, but only gets 40%." Gu Baiyi is clearly aware of the affairs of the DPRK. Calmly said: "And the northern army accounted for 40%, but it was divided into the four towns. The four northern towns have been commanded by the Taishi family. Wuchuan Town is the direct line of the Taishi family, and the generals in Rouxuan Town are mostly from the Taishi family. However, the two towns of Huaishuo and Woye are separate."

Qin Xiao knew that his previous ideas were too naive.

I used to think that the four northern towns were all frontier troops defending the northern frontier. Naturally, they were united. Now I understand that the frontier troops of the four towns are divided into three factions.

"In the earliest days, Woye Town was actually under the control of the Taishi Family. Thirteen years ago, Woye Townguard General Xu Li passed away due to illness. In order to make up for this position, the various forces in the DPRK and China fought a lot. It was the saint who made the decree that General Heiyu, who was in charge of the Yongzhou camp at the time, made up for the position of General Woye Zhenwei. General Heiyu was famous, and with his qualifications and prestige, he was actually a poor general. Therefore, he served as the general of Woye Zhenwei, and the Manchu civil and military forces naturally have nothing to say." Gu Baiyi said softly: "The general is in Woye Town, but his heart is in Xiling. He has always wanted to return to Xiling so that Datang can actually recover. Xiling."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, knowing that taking back Xiling was the general's long-cherished wish in his life.

Originally only mentioned the changes in Xiling, what Gu Baiyi talked seemed to be far-reaching, but Qin Xiao knew that Gu Baiyi had a calm temperament, and it was impossible for him to say this without reason. Since he said so, there must be a reason.

On the contrary, Qiuniang, who was eavesdropping behind the window, heard that the two of them were talking about military affairs. The more they listened, the more boring she became. She lost interest and thought she hadn't started a fire, so she ignored her and went to the kitchen to cook.

"Taishi Cunxue is the General of Zhenbei. The money, food and equipment are sent there. Taishi Cunxue will naturally distribute the money and equipment. The four towns are different from each other. I don't say how to distribute, but Brother Qin also understands." Gu Baiyi said: "To adjust longevity. The exit of the army requires the decision-making documents of the South Court, the transfer order of the Ministry of War, and the allocation of money from the Ministry of Households. In this way, the leaving and leaving of three thousand troops directly involves three yamen. As far as I know, The saint has already made a will to let the Longevity Army go out, but for the specific operations, these three yamen must be involved. If everything goes smoothly, it will be fine. However, there was a rebellion in Xiling. One of the fatal reasons was that the Longevity Army did not leave in time. Guan, Brother Qin, do you think these three yamen will be in trouble?"
