Chapter 248 Situation

In the early spring, Luoyang is full of singing and singing, and the green willows in the garden of Shangyang Palace are blooming, and the lake is rippling.

Wu Zetian walked slowly in the garden path, it can be seen that her mood is not as clear as the garden in early spring.

She frowned, and her steps became slower and slower. Finally, she stopped, raised her head, and let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, Wu Zetian shook his head, and whispered softly: "The situation on the battlefield is changing, and there are always strange things in the court. Listen to the defeated brigade, and thousands of miles will flatten the sand."

After singing, he let out a long sigh.

At this time, Zhang Jianzhi and Li Changhe walked quickly, and Wu Zetian turned around: "Why, what's the bad news?"

The two were taken aback and looked at each other.

Zhang Jianzhi hurriedly replied: "Chongzhou Express, Di Huaiying has arrived at the government office a few days ago."

Wu Zetian nodded: "I hope he can make a difference this time. But..."

Before he finished speaking, he let out another long sigh.

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Your Majesty, please be merciful. I think that if Di Huaiying is in charge of Chongzhou, we should crack down on the rebellious party as soon as possible and clarify Guanhe."

Wu Zetian raised his head: "Then, what about the war against Khitan? An army of [-] has wiped out the frontier for no apparent reason. Cambodian, Changhe, in your opinion, does Di Huaiying still have the strength to eliminate Li Jinmi in the near future?"

Zhang Jianzhi and Li Changhe bowed their heads in deep thought, neither of them knew what to say.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Jianzhi said: "Your Majesty, the outcome is irreversible, maybe Di Huaiying will have a way."

Wu Zetian gave a wry smile, did not speak, and after a long while, said softly: "Cambodia, I know you are just saying good things to ease my heart."

Zhang Jianzhi sighed lightly.

Li Changhe said: "Your Majesty, Li Han, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, sent a report to Ji Li Khan the day before yesterday, asking about the disappearance of Zhao Wenhui's army."

Wu Zetian showed displeasure on his face, and snorted softly: "Dongxia Shigu was defeated. The reason for this is that Zhao Wenhuang's department mysteriously disappeared in the Turkic territory. Your military department must investigate this matter immediately. If you procrastinate any longer, be careful Yes!"

Li Changhe said tremblingly: "Yes, I immediately spread the message, asking Li Han to urge the Turkic side to clarify this matter as soon as possible."

……

At the same time, Turkic, Shi Guo.

Shiguo is the west court of Auspicious Khan.

It is said to be a country, but it is actually a small earthen city.

On the street, Turkic people and Hu people of all kinds come and go. There are many shops and acrobatics, which can be said to be very lively.

The tooth tent is the residence of the Turkic Khan.

It is said to be a tent, but it is actually a palace-like building.

In front of the gate, Turkic guards guarded it closely.

Ji Li Khan sat in the tooth tent and read the residence newspaper from Luoyang.

With a "snap", he closed the mansion newspaper and raised his head.

A young man in a Hu suit beside him whispered, "Father, what's wrong?"

Ji Li took a deep breath: "This is the residence report of the Great Zhou court, saying that Zhao Wenhui, who took advantage of us to sneak in last month, disappeared into our Turkic territory!"

The young man was taken aback: "This, how is this possible?"

Ji Li said: "This is already the fifth mansion report sent by Da Zhou in three days. It seems that there is a lot of anxiety there!"

The young man said, "Father, how shall we answer?"

Ji Li pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter is a bit strange, silently, you should immediately inform General Dalha, and investigate this matter together. Be sure to hurry up!"

Mo Chuai nodded: "Yes, the child will go right away!"

With that said, he walked out of the tent quickly.

Ji Li Khan looked at his back, lost in thought.

There was a carriage parked outside the gate of the tooth tent, the prince Mochuo walked out quickly, the attendant hurriedly opened the door, and Mochuo got into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, a woman sat with her back to the door.

The woman turned her head slowly, and it turned out to be Xiao Qingfang. She smiled and said, "How is it, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

Mo Chuan smiled: "Sure enough, as you expected, the report from the residence of the Great Zhou Emperor has arrived. It seems that we can act now."

Xiao Qingfang nodded happily: "As soon as this happens, I think your father's face will be very ugly."

Silently smiled: "This is exactly what I want to see."

The two looked at each other and laughed knowingly.

……

Pingshan Col, this is a small col surrounded by high cliffs, only a narrow path leads into the col at the mouth of the col.

The col was silent, only the whistling sound of the strong wind hitting the cliff could be heard.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes, and more than a dozen horses galloped into the valley, led by a guide, followed by Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Zhang Huan, Li Lang and other eight army leaders.

Di Renjie reined in his horse and yelled at Wang Mang and others behind him: "Everyone get off your horse!"

Wang Mang and others responded and got off their horses one after another.

Di Renjie looked around and sighed: "What a hidden place! No wonder Wang Xiaojie wants to store the items that were transferred to the Khitan people here."

Wang Mang smiled: "Sir, if there is no guide here, I'm afraid it would be hard for us to find it!"

Di Renjie raised his head and asked a person who looked like a guide: "Guide, how far is it from Dongxia Stone Valley?"

The guide who followed said: "About more than 100 miles. Sir, I didn't say you. How did you come to this place? Although I am in charge of Dazhou here, it is a place where Khitan people often come and go. Once we meet the Khitan cavalry, then, then we can..."

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other and smiled.

Wang Mang gave Zhang Huan a wink, and Zhang Huan nodded knowingly.

Zhang Huan pulled the guide: "Okay, let's go, accompany us over there to have a look."

With that said, the two walked away.

After Zhang Huan and the guide left, Wang Mang looked at the surrounding environment and asked, "My lord, what happened to Wang Xiaojie?"

Di Renjie said as he walked: "Oh, the chasers sent out did not catch up. It seems that he has someone to meet him!"

Wang Mang said bitterly: "This Wang Xiaojie, I'm afraid he wanted to turn against him a long time ago."

As he spoke, Wang Mang sighed, and his eyes looked around. There was a wooden shed standing by the mountain wall, which had been blown to this side by the strong wind, and the roof of the shed had disappeared.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie walked over, and they searched around - collapsed poles, hay all over the ground, a few broken sacks...

Suddenly, Wang Mang walked over, picked up a sack and looked at it carefully. On the sack was written the words "Youweiwei Transfer Envoy".

Wang Mang said softly: "My lord, look!"

Di Renjie raised his head and looked at the sack.

Wang Mang said, "It seems that this is the place."

Di Renjie nodded, suddenly, a piece of black exposed in the straw attracted his attention.

He walked over quickly and pushed aside the hay. It turned out to be a broken boot.

Wang Mang took a closer look at the fast boots. It was a thin-soled fast boot, the bottom of which had already been worn through, and was full of dust.

Di Renjie dusted it lightly, then opened the boot and looked inside. There were a few words printed indistinctly inside, and Di Renjie carefully identified them.

After a while, he slowly raised his head.
