"Yang Gao'er personally leads an army to go south to Bashu!"
Outside Jianmen Pass, there is the Tang Army camp.
Li Shimin held the information transferred from the Central Plains in his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know where Yang Gao is now?"
"Back to Your Highness, according to the spies' report, Yang Gao's son has recently crossed the Yellow River and headed towards Luoyang."
After Changsun Wuji was captured, Du Ruhui, who was in charge of the intelligence response from the Qin Palace, cupped his hands and answered.
Li Shimin immediately ordered: "Okay, order all the spies in the Central Plains of the Qin Palace to respond closely and closely monitor the movements of Yang Gao's army. Also, immediately write to Chang'an, requesting the father to use all intelligence forces to ensure that every move of Yang Gao's army is reported It’s all in your hands.”
Du Ruhui immediately raised his hands and replied: "Wei Chen will make arrangements now!"
Zhuge Liang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "I heard that Master Tanzong returned to Henan not long ago. Maybe he will have the idea of capturing the thief first! If Yang Gao can be eliminated, the Sui Dynasty will be in chaos!"
The intelligence power of the Tang Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Sui Dynasty. At this time, Li Shimin did not know about the escape of the Sima family, the death of Mr. Tan, and the rise of Zhizhen.
"There are so many powerful generals around Yang Gao!"
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "Although Master Tan Zong is proficient in martial arts, the fierce generals around Yang Gao are not in vain. Just one of them, Li Cunxiao and Yuwen Chengdu, is enough to make him suffer."
After a pause, Li Shimin turned to ask Du Ruhui again: "I heard that Tubo sent troops and asked Su Dingfang to ambush in front of Qingxiguan, causing heavy losses!"
Du Ruhui nodded and said: "Su Dingfang was well prepared. Tubo lost two battles in a row. General Dazalugong was killed. Even Langri Songtsen was almost captured alive by the Sui army's fierce general Lu Junyi."
A cold light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is indeed a Sui Army spy within the Tang Dynasty. Gu's southern expedition plan and the offensive of the Tibetan reinforcements were all expected by the Sui Army. I am afraid that this spy is probably in I am a high-ranking member of Datang!"
Du Ruhui nodded: "As Li Jing's deputy, Su Dingfang has not appeared on the front line of Jianmen Pass from the beginning. I am afraid that this plan has been completely exposed to the eyes of the Sui army as early as when His Highness was still preparing for the southern expedition in Chang'an."
"I have reported this matter to my father. If the traitor is not eliminated, the Tang Dynasty will be uneasy!"
Li Shimin nodded and said: "Leave this matter to Chang'an. Our top priority right now is to capture Bashu."
Several people nodded together, and Zhuge Liang said: "After Li Su defeated the county king, he left Sui General Long Zhi to guard Brazil and led the main force to join Li Jing at Jianmen Pass. Now it is difficult for our army to capture Jianmen. It’s getting harder!”
Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on Jianmen Pass on the map, as if he wanted to remove this damn pass from the map.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his fingers to draw a few lines on the map. His originally tight brows slowly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "I have an idea!"
The next day, Tang Army General Gao Xianzhi led 20,000 elite troops to leave the Jianmen front line and headed north under the pretext of joining forces with Chang'an to consolidate the capital.
. . . . . . . . . .
Hejian County, Gonggao County.
As the war in Hebei came to an end, food from the south of the Yangtze River was continuously transported to Hebei to provide relief to the people in Hebei who were suffering from war.
But in Gonggao County, it was a different phenomenon. Thousands of refugees were waiting at the gate of the city, but the porridge shed set up by the court had not been opened to provide porridge.
"Mom, I'm hungry!"
A six or seven-year-old girl in ragged clothes and a bamboo pole pulled her mother's clothes and said timidly.
The girl's mother was so hungry that she was just skin and bones. She forced a smile and touched her daughter's head: "Be good, be patient, and you will have something to eat soon."
But in fact, the mother has said this to her daughter no less than five times, but the porridge shed set up by the county government has yet to give out porridge.
"Damn it, didn't the court say that every county government will release food to accommodate us? We have been here for seven or eight days, and we haven't even had a mouthful of gruel."
Noisy and angry voices continued to sound in the crowd, and the anger quickly spread among the crowd.
In the county magistrate's house, Feng Chun, the magistrate, hugged two beauties comfortably. One of the two beauties poured wine for Feng Chun, and the other put the fruit on the table into Feng Chun's mouth from time to time.
Downstairs, the county magistrate Guo Bao squinted his eyes and stared at the dancing singer in front of him, pouring wine into his mouth from time to time.
"Guo County Cheng, how are things arranged?"
Feng Chun's voice sounded, and Guo Bao, who was staring intently at the singer in front of him, suddenly came to his senses and quickly replied: "Don't worry, sir. I have resold the 600 shi of grain newly shipped by the imperial court to those grain companies." Shop, according to the old rules, 70% of the money obtained has been sent to the Lord's house."
Feng Chun chuckled and said, "Okay, County Magistrate Guo is really effective at doing things!"
From the conversation between the two, it is not difficult to see that the reason why Gonggao County did not provide relief to the refugees was because the court discovered that all the relief grains had been embezzled and resold.
The two chatted and laughed and drank a few more glasses of wine. Guo Bao suddenly reminded Feng Chun: "Sir, there are more and more refugees in Gonggao. The number has exceeded 3,000 in the past few days. In my opinion, it is better to stay here." Open a porridge shed to give out porridge, even if the porridge is a little thinner, we can’t let these refugees cause trouble!”
"Guo County Cheng, you are too timid!"
Feng Chun said nonchalantly: "How can a group of untouchables get the courage? What's more, don't you know the situation in the granary? How about you take out your family's food for relief?"
"His Majesty has appointed Wang Anshi, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel, to inspect the people's livelihood in Hebei, and also has the clan leader Yang Shiqi to assist. This shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the refugees in Hebei."
Guo Bao said with some worry: "What if we Gonggao starve to death too many refugees and are targeted by some blind censor!"
"You're worrying too much!"
Feng Chun said nonchalantly: "There are at least three to four hundred thousand refugees in Hebei. It's nothing to starve to death for thousands of untouchables! At this time, we can't guarantee who will be the emperor tomorrow. Loyalty to the emperor and love for the people are all fake. They only have white money." That’s the real deal. Come on, drink!”
Feng Chun raised his glass and was about to drink again, when suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps. A government servant rolled in and crawled in.
Feng Chun's face darkened when he saw this, and he was about to scold the person who came, but the government official said with a sad face: "Sir, it's not good, those refugees have rebelled, and now they are rushing towards our county government office!"
With a "bang" sound, the wine glass in Feng Chun's hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered: "Quick, run!"
"Capture Feng Gouguan alive, capture Feng Gouguan alive!"
Before he finished speaking, there was an earth-shattering roar outside, and countless refugees poured into the county government office like hot lava.
On the eighth day of March, the refugees who could no longer endure the cold and hunger finally broke out and stormed the county government office, killing the county magistrate Feng Chun, county magistrate Guo Bao and others who had embezzled and resold disaster relief grain.
