On the way north, Jiang Shuo asked Guo Ziyi: "Why did the sage order Shuo Fang's army to transport horses to Fan Yang?"
Guo Ziyi said: "An Lushan has only one way to strengthen the Eastern Army, which is to exaggerate the threat of the Northeastern border people. Sometimes he says that the people are rebelling, and sometimes he says that the Khitan is in power and takes the opportunity to ask for money and food from the saints. It is especially insufficient to receive a large amount of food and salary every year. No, they are asking for people again. Anlushan built the Xiongwu City on the pretext of guarding against the Xi people and the Khitans. He actually asked the saint to borrow troops from Wang Zhongsigong to help build the city. He also said that Hebei did not produce good horses and wanted to borrow Shuofang Liang. horse."
Jiang Shuo said: "Everyone in the world knows that Anlu Mountain harbors rebellious aspirations. How could the prince agree if he doesn't know that?"
Guo Ziyi said: "How could you not know? It's just that the saint now favors An Lushan. Even if you, the minister of the court, tell the truth, he will not lose his trust in the saint An Lushan. Although the prince is a fake son of the saint, he has just been awarded the title of censor." The doctor led the envoys of Shuofang and Hedong towns, but he did not dare to offend the An thieves easily. After the sage issued the edict, the prince ordered me to lead two thousand soldiers and horses east to Fan Yang to support."
Li Zhuer snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid Guo Jun sent your two thousand troops to Fanyang, and Liu Bei borrowed money from Jingzhou, and he will never repay it."
Guo Ziyi smiled and said: "Miss Zhu'er seems to know An Lushan's character quite well. How can the prince not know about it? When he came, he told me that the horse can be left behind, but the man must be taken back."
Jiang Shuo was puzzled: "It is said that this is a saint who has never been born in this world. How come he is so arrogant about Anlu Mountain?"
Yan Zhenqing interjected: "How could a saint not know that the way of a king lies in checks and balances? The reason why the saint wants to support the Eastern Army in Anlu Mountain is to prevent the Western Army from becoming dominant."
Jiang Shuo wondered: "This is not a strange thing. To prevent the Western Army, the Eastern Army is supported, but the Eastern Army An Lushan is ambitious. How come the saint is not afraid of the Eastern Army becoming bigger?"
Yan Zhenqing smiled and said: "The Western Army's four towns of Hexi, Longyou, Shuofang and Hedong have more than 260,000 troops. This does not include the four towns of Anxi. And Hebei does not have any towns. Youzhou Jiedu was only established two years ago. The envoy was later changed to Fan Yang Jiedu Envoy. In the first year of Tianbao, Pinglu Jiedu Envoy was established. So far, there are only two towns with less than 100,000 troops. Who do you think the saint has more defense against?"
Guo Ziyi said: "In the land of Youyan in Hebei, there are many brave people. Now You and Jiuzhou are all under the rule of Anlu Mountain. He recruits troops every year to expand his strength. It will become a big problem in the long run."
Yan Zhenqing said: "Yes, the saint has been keen on the art of controlling his subordinates in recent years. He has allowed the internal and external fights between the court and the public, and the east and west armies to fight. In the long run, there will be endless troubles."
Jiang Shuo thought to himself that although Yan Lang studied under Zhang Xu, he was different from an arrogant person like Zhang Xu. He also had a clear vision of the general trend of the world and had great ambitions. In time, he would definitely become a member of the imperial court. He crossed his hands to Yan Zhenqing and said, "What do you think we should do, Yan Lang?" "
Yan Zhenqing said: "An's thieves will rebel in the future. Since the saints don't believe it, we can only prepare ourselves in advance and gather like-minded people. Once something happens, they will become the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty and we will definitely crush An's thieves' conspiracy."
Jiang Shuo said: "In that case, why not secretly assassinate An thief before he becomes powerful to avoid future troubles?"
Li Zhuer sneered: "Looking back on what you said lightly, you are no match for Yin Ziqi, let alone An Lushan."

Yin Ziqi is not the only master around..."
Yan Zhenqing also said: "First of all, Anlu Mountain has not rebelled yet. It is definitely not the behavior of a gentleman to murder someone on the basis of a crime. Secondly, the Northeast border has indeed been unstable in the past two years. Killing Anlu Mountain and causing chaos in the Northeast is not a blessing to the people of Hebei." . For the current plan, loyal people can only continue to strengthen themselves so that thieves will not dare to think of overstepping."
Guo Ziyi deeply agreed and said: "Jing Zun also cares about the common people in the world. It would be the best to be able to conquer Anlu Mountain."
Yan Zhenqing said: "This traitor An Lushan not only has ambitions, but also means. I don't know whether he has infiltrated the Western Army, but he has made friends with many officials in the court and wise men in the court and in the field. Looking back, I heard you say that there is a man from the Jianghu Alliance. The traitor Cheng Ang has turned the world upside down; I think this time the three leaders of the Cao Gang were kidnapped, I'm afraid there is no one involved."
Jiang Shuo said: "I understand. After I rescue the leaders of the Cao Gang this time, I must rectify the Cao Gang and the Jianghu Alliance to prevent thieves from manipulating the Jianghu."
Yan Zhenqing and Guo Ziyi also talked about a lot of military tactics and strategies for arranging troops and defending the city against the enemy. Jiang Shuo compared them with those contained in Zhao Rui's long and short scriptures, and the insights he put forward turned out to be quite insightful. Yan and Guo originally thought He was young, so although he saw that his martial arts skills were quite impressive, he didn't pay much attention to them. However, after spending time on the horse during the day and in the camp at night, and talking day and night, he began to respect Jiang Shuo more and more. And Jiang Shuo talked with these two people every day, and his horizons broadened a lot.
After traveling like this for five days, the cavalry had galloped a thousand and twelve miles and entered the territory of Youzhou. During these days, in order to deceive others, Li Zhuer and Jiang Shuo pretended to be Guo Ziyi's personal soldiers and lived together in the tent next to Guo Ziyi. They were lying on different couches and always respected each other as guests. On this day, Li Zhuer said that he wanted to go to Fanyang City to inquire about the news, so he left the camp as soon as it became dark.
Jiang Shuo remembered Kong Kong'er's words and practiced breathing and breathing according to the Jade Jue Heart Method every night in his camp. He continued to practice Qi, and he really made great progress. Although the internal energy in the Dantian Qi Sea was not restored, his hands and feet felt more and more powerful. The sword is no longer hindered, and the true energy flows back from the limbs to the sea of qi, and there is a faint tendency to buckle the barrier. It should be noted that the higher he practices the Jade Jue Heart Technique, the stronger his internal strength will be. The return of true energy will cause the greater the resistance in the sea of qi. Every time he breaks through It takes several years to complete a test. If I hadn't happened to break through the test last time when I was healing Dugu Chu, I don't know when I would be able to reach the seventh level. But at this moment, the air in the sea was empty. It was really easy to practice without any hindrance. He was making great strides with each passing day. He saw that he was about to break through another barrier.
While Jiang Shuo was concentrating on practicing his martial arts in the tent, he suddenly heard the sound of subtle footsteps, and he could distinguish more than a dozen people. These people seemed to be sneaking quietly away from the patrol officers and soldiers. Jiang Shuo immediately became alert, and he had already entered. Although he and Li Zhuer were hiding in Shuofang's army at the border of Youzhou, they did not need to rent a house and their whereabouts were well hidden, but there was no guarantee that Yin Ziqi and An Qingxu would not notice it. Besides, Li Zhuer has not yet entered the city today. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but worry that something had happened to her.
Jiang Shuo quietly put on his shoes and socks, took the seven-star sword, extinguished the lights, and listened carefully. The footsteps seemed to be slowly approaching his tent. Those people's steps were light but steady, and their breathing was deep and even. They were all good players. When a powerful enemy was in front of him, Jiang Shuo calmed down. He concentrated his mind, closed his eyes and waited, preparing to strike when the enemy broke into the tent.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He only heard the sound of "stab, stab" as the tent cloth tore, but his tent was intact. Jiang Shuo suddenly realized that his tent was close to Guo Ziyi's tent. He had preconceived the idea that someone was attacking at night. They came for him, but they ignored that the other party's real target was actually Guo Ziyi, who was in charge of the army.
Jiang Shuo hurriedly drew his sword and cut through the tent and rushed towards Guo Ziyi's tent. He had sensed that two people were guarding him outside the tent before, so he did not lift the tent curtain, but broke out directly from the back. Jiang Shuo then He jumped out of the tent, and the two men guarding the tent door came at him from behind with a muffled sound.
Jiang Shuo didn't look back, he just rushed forward. The long knives in their hands were aimed at the back of his head and his back, but how could they hurt Jiang Shuo? Jiang Shuo practiced Jade Art every night for the past five days and only slept for two hours, but he was still in good spirits. His soft-spoken kung fu and swordsmanship were half a point higher than before he was poisoned. Spreading his wings, he flew towards Guo Ziyi's tent.
The two people behind them saw that the person rushing out of the tent was actually a young man. Although they were shocked and slow to react, they immediately realized that they were taller and stronger. They immediately caught up and chopped down, thinking that they should chop the young boy first. Turn it over and then make a calculation. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuo's star-crossing step was so amazing. Although the two of them were tall and strong, and one step was almost equal to Jiang Shuo's two steps, they still couldn't catch up with his steps. The two of them slashed more than a dozen times at will. , but not even a piece of Jiang Shuo's clothes was touched.
The two of them were shocked, knowing that they had encountered a hard idea, and whistled to alert their companions who were besieging the tent. Jiang Shuo ignored the two of them and rushed to Guo Ziyi's tent in a few steps. He still acted as usual, thrusting his sword and stabbing quickly. This seven-star sword was a magic weapon in the late Han Dynasty. It was made of meteorite iron. It was better than what was forged in the world. The fine steel was a little harder. He straightened the sword and easily pierced the tent curtain and rushed into the tent. The long sword did not lose its momentum and hit the two long knives coming towards him. Jiang Shuo swung his sword and slashed horizontally, only to hear With two crisp sounds, the two long knives were cut off simultaneously, which was easier than chopping melons and vegetables.
However, Jiang Shuo was startled by the appearance of the two people in front of him. They were wearing short black shorts with narrow sleeves and missing hips. One of their faces was indigo and the other was red. Their faces were larger than those of ordinary people. They were glaring angrily. It protrudes from the frame, with sharp fangs baring out of its lips, making it look like an evil ghost from hell. Looking out of the corner of the eye, I can see that the tent is full of messes, and all the soldiers and guards in the tent have been chopped down.
Although Jiang Shuo's kung fu is high, he is still a young man who has not experienced much in the world. He only knows that there are real ghosts in the world. Fortunately, Jiang Shuo first watched Aunt Gongsun and then watched General Pei dance his sword. His sword skills have greatly improved, and now his moves are like lightning. He aimed at the sword first, seeing the evil ghosts in his eyes and being frightened, but without stopping in his hand, he swung the seven-star sword in succession and hit the foreheads of the two evil ghosts. Jiang Shuo suddenly felt like a gourd, and he couldn't mix with human beings. Dare to cut again, drew his sword and retreated, only to see the faces of the two evil ghosts cracked open, revealing two human faces inside. Jiang Shuo finally realized that it turned out that the two ghosts, red and blue, were just applying oil paint on the big gourd. Drawn ghost mask.
Jiang Shuo retreated, but the two men behind him had already caught up. Jiang Shuo knew that the person coming was a human and not a ghost, and the fear in his heart disappeared. He swung his hand back and cut off the two long knives behind him with two "ding-dong" sounds. , he saw a man wearing a ghost mask rushing in front of Guo Ziyi, and hurriedly used the Western White Tiger Step and Leap method to get past the ghost-faced people who came to surround him, and stepped forward to protect Guo Ziyi.
