"How did you survive it?"
"Just use an iron pot to cook it, but it is very dangerous and prone to fire. Almost every time we cook it, someone will be burned. But that thing is very useful. We think it is something that God should have, so we cook it every time." The fire calamity came down when we were cooking it for the first time, so we are not allowed to have it easily."
Gao Buyi was dumbfounded as to how he came up with this magic trick.
"Were we wrong?" Shangguan Pei Hui tried to ask.
"Of course it's wrong, I tell you..."
It took Gao Buyi a long time to explain to Shangguan Pei Hui the reason why fires occurred every time they cooked petroleum oil.
"Your Majesty, how do you know?"
"Yeah! Didn't you see that I have opened my eyes now, my head is sharp, and my mind is connected to all seven orifices? These are all little tricks. I am called a genius given by heaven."
"Your Majesty is so knowledgeable, I am so impressed by him." Shangguan Pei Hui boasted of Gao Buyi's tacit cooperation.
"Hahaha! Low-key! Low-key! When I get the chance, I will set up an academy. I will no longer talk about Confucius and Mencius, but just teach them scientific and cultural knowledge."
"Scientific and cultural knowledge?"
"Yes, it is to use scientific language to express the essence of all phenomena in nature, so that people can correctly understand the world, so as to better adapt to the surrounding environment and survive better."
"It's too profound, I can't understand it."
"That doesn't matter. When the time comes, you will be your student and I will be your teacher. I will teach you!"
"Okay, can I go too?" In fact, Shangguan Pei Hui is still very diligent and studious.
"Of course you go. With a beautiful female student like you, it's so pleasing to the eye. By the way, all the concubines in the harem will also go, so as not to waste their good years by waiting in the yard every day and thinking about things blindly. , do you know there is a word that suits them very well."
"What is it?"
"Home girl."
"What's the meaning?"
"She is a woman who stays at home all day long with nothing to do and has random thoughts."
"The otaku girl is very vivid." Shangguan Pei Hui said seriously.
Then Gao Buyi told Shangguan Pei Hui a lot about the nature of some natural phenomena in life, which made Shangguan Pei Hui very obsessed. Gao Buyi was also very relieved that he had accepted this beautiful and smart good student.
That night, Wang Sizhong took Gao Shi to Zhenzhou. He did not dare to delay and immediately beat the drum to gather the generals.
I saw General Wang sitting majestically and high on the command post. As soon as the three tongs and drums were played, the deputy general nodded and reported back: "General, the generals of Shence Army and Hedong Army under his command have arrived."
"Okay! The Shence soldiers and horses have been assembled." Wang Sizhong asked majestically.
"Back to the General, the 50,000 Shence Army has been assembled as ordered."
Wang Sizhong nodded and asked, "Where are the Hedong army and horses?"
"Back to the general, our main force of 50,000 troops from Hedong has been assembled."
"That's great. Is Mount Anlus in Fanyang or Pinglu?"
"He is at home in Chongzhou, Pinglu."
"Is the news reliable?"
"It's reliable. Fan Yang's deputy envoy Jia Xun is currently in Youzhou. There are currently 60,000 Fan Yang troops left in Youzhou."
"Okay! Send an order to all armies to have a good meal immediately. The army will set off in two hours, Wang Sili!"
"The general is here!"
"You lead the five thousand Shence Army as the vanguard to clear the way for the army. Try to avoid the main road. If you encounter any questions along the way, just say that the Shence Army is ordered to patrol the border!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"Let's go now!"
"yes!"
"Wei Boyu, you lead 40,000 Shence troops as the rear army, and I personally lead the other troops as the central army."
"I will obey your orders!"
Two hours later, Wang Sizhong ordered: "The army moves out!"
Immediately, the army set off quietly, with their horses and horses holding rings and their heads in arms, heading towards Youzhou.
Along the way, the army tried its best to avoid the thoroughfare. When it couldn't be avoided, they ordered a change of defense on the spot. The replaced troops, Wang Sizhong, ordered to guard them on the spot until the army arrived in Youzhou. No one was allowed to leave here, and no one was allowed to contact the outside world. .
When the pass defenders saw that Wang Sizhong had in his hands the imperial edict regarding his appointment as Fan Yang Jiedushi and Minister of War, as well as the emperor's gold medal, they naturally obeyed his orders.
The emperor's gold medal saved Wang Sizhong a lot of trouble. Because he acted carefully, by the time night fell again, Wang Sizhong had already led an army to slander and rushed to the gate of Youzhou City.
"who?"
The guard of Youzhou City suddenly felt a slight vibration on the ground, and at the same time he saw many figures faintly in the darkness, so he shouted loudly, this is a border pass, and there are often small groups of enemy troops sneak attacks, so the guard was very alert.
"Me!" Wang Sizhong rode to the city alone.
When the guard saw that the other party was wearing the attire of a Tang general, he felt relieved and asked loudly: "General, please atone for your sins. I don't know your name. What business do you have? My Lord Jiedushi has an order, no matter who you are after dark." If the general has urgent business, I can report it on his behalf."
"I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, the new envoy of Fan Yang, Wang Sizhong."
"Sir, do you have proof?"
Hearing this, Wang Sizhong was silent. Seeing this situation, the other party would not come down to take a look even if he had proof. Fatty An had a good way of controlling his subordinates and had many adopted sons.
Just when Wang Sizhong was thinking about how to answer him, another person came from the top of the city: "What's going on below the city?"
"My lord, there is a man named Wang Sizhong, who claims to be the Minister of War and the new Fan Yang Jiedu, who wants to enter the city."
"Fart! Fan Yang Jiedushi is my foster father. Where is the liar from? Shoot me to death with random arrows!"
"But sir, the other party's costume is indeed me, Tang Jun."
"Bullshit! Don't the enemy troops often disguise themselves as our troops? Where are they?"
"Just below the city."
"Let me take a look and let the archers prepare!"
"yes!"
"Who is under the city?"
Wang Sizhong heard that this guy's voice sounded familiar and asked, "Is the city guard Cui Qianyu?"
"It's me, general. Who are you and why do you know my name?"
This guy is one of the fifteen adopted sons of An Lushan. He is very brave and can be regarded as a strong general. However, this guy has a problem, that is, he has a bad temper and loves to beat and scold his subordinates.
When Wang Sizhong heard that it was really this guy, he immediately ordered: "Light the fire!"
The 100,000-strong army hidden in the dark night instantly lit their torches, lighting up the entire night sky.
The sudden appearance of so many people in front of him really startled Cui Qianyu. Wang Sizhong said: "Cui Qianyu, the court has received a secret report that the Turks are going to knock on the pass in the near future, so I sent my general to lead the reinforcements at night to help. Why don't you open the door quickly? Ask your envoy An Jidu to come and receive the order."
"It turns out that General Wang Sizhong has arrived to let you know that my general is not in Youzhou City now. He is at Pinglu's home. I wonder if General Wang can stay outside the city for a while. I will report to my general immediately. How about waiting for my commander-in-chief to return and then greet the imperial edict?"
"Bold! Are you just talking to me like this? Not to mention that you are a little lieutenant. Even An Lushan here would not dare to let me wait outside the city gate. What? Do you want to refuse to accept the imperial edict?"
"General, calm down. General, come down right now and open the city gate!"
After speaking, Cui Qianyu ordered his soldiers: "Go and report to the deputy envoy immediately."
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately ran towards the city on horseback.
Cui Qianyu came to the city, and Wang Sizhong had brought people to the city.
Just as Cui Qianyou clasped his fists to say a few words, Wang Sizhong winked at Wang Sili and Wei Boyu who were beside him. With a wave of their hands, the two men immediately galloped towards the city with a team of men and horses. They both held the Minister of War in their hands. , the newly appointed Fanyang Jiedu Envoy Wang Sizhong's order was passed to the civil and military officials in the city to meet him at the Jiedu Envoy's residence, and at the same time their official seals and tokens were confiscated.
"General, what are you doing?" Cui Qianyu saw something was wrong and immediately shouted loudly.
"What? Do I still want to tell you what I do, General? Gao Shi!"
"The general is here!"
"Lead people to take over the city defense!"
"yes!"
"I wonder who dares, Wang Sizhong, do you want to rebel?"
"Hmph! Open your dog eyes and see what this is!"
"Imperial decree!?"
"Yes, from now on, my Majesty, the Minister of War and the Military Envoy of Fan Yang, hereby gives me the right to do whatever I want. What? You haven't paid homage yet?"
"The last general pays homage to the great general!"
"Gao Shi!"
"The general is here!"
"Change the defense, and at the same time send someone with my warrant to order the troops and horses in Fanyang from today on. Anyone who moves a soldier without taking orders from me will be killed!"
"As you command!"
"General Cui, please follow me to the Jiedushi Mansion."
Although Cui Qianyu was anxious and wanted to report the news to An Lushan as soon as possible, he couldn't leave in the current situation. A few days ago, he heard from his adoptive father that there were big changes in the court. I don't know whether it was good or bad. Now the army of the court appeared here. Youzhou, and took over Fan Yang's army, this change is too fast.
Now that the situation is stronger than human beings, it is better to save his life first. Thinking of this, Cui Qianyu quickly smiled and said: "As ordered!"
When Wang Sizhong arrived at the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, all the civil and military officials in the city were already present. Wang Sizhong said: "It is really a business emergency to pull you all out of Wenwen Township so late. Please accept the order."
"Long live Long live Long live!"
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that the peace and tranquility of the Guanhe River today is entirely due to the merits of our Tang Dynasty soldiers who obeyed orders and served their orders. I remember that our soldiers have been fighting at the border for a long time, and my relatives at home miss them deeply. I specially give this gift to the Minister of War, Shuofang, and Hedong. , Wang Sizhong, the envoy of Fanyang Jiedu, has the golden dragon token to grant him the right to act expeditiously. He is fully responsible for the change of defense between the Shence Army and the border army. The order will be carried out as soon as it is received, and there will be no mistakes. I appreciate this!"
"I obey! Long live! Long live! Long live!"
"Everyone, please rise. Your Majesty's imperial edict has made it very clear. The emperor's order is urgent, so I won't be wordy anymore, Wei Boyu!"
"The general is here!"
"Immediately lead 20,000 Shence troops to the two passes of Miyun and Yuyang to change defenses, and order 15,000 defenders from these two places to rush to Zhenzhou to assemble and stand by."
"yes!"
"Wang Sili, Jia Xun!"
"exist!"
"Immediately select 35,000 elite Fan Yang troops from Youzhou's 60,000 troops, and together with 40,000 elite troops from Hedong, return to Hedong via Yunzhong! Patrol the border and deter the enemy!"
"As you command!"
"Other personnel perform their duties and must not make mistakes!"
"Follow the order!"
In order to prevent long nights and long dreams, Wang Sizhong selected three or four reliable people from the personnel list told to him by Pei An that night to take over the entire Youzhou defense. At the same time, with their help, he quickly selected Fan Yang's 35,000 elites. Together with 40,000 elite troops from the Hedong Army, they rushed to Yunzhong under the leadership of Wang Sili and Jia Xun that night.
In Yunzhong, these 35,000 Fan Yang elites and the 15,000 Fan Yang troops assembled in Zhenzhou will be dispersed again by Li Guangbi and sent to garrison in Hexi, Shuofang and Hedong respectively. Later, five more troops will be transferred from these three places. Wan Dajun returned to defend Chang'an.
