The prominent cheekbones, the dark and red face exposed to the sun and the copper and gold ornaments on the belt all explain the identity of the assassins.
Tulle.
It's normal for Tule people to assassinate themselves. They know the purpose of my going to Beijing this time, and I also killed two Tule vassals in a row, which led to the direct defeat of Tule's South strategy. It's understandable to want to kill me.
But it's incredible that they want to kill Zhou Shilang.
Su Lu glanced at Zhou Shilang. Although Zhou Shilang was a senior official of the military department, he had always been a advocate of peace in the use of troops in the north of the imperial court. He was a moderate to the Tule people. It was unreasonable for the Tule people to kill him.
"Governor Su, he Chongxin, can I not give it to you?"
Zhou Shilang's words pulled Su Lu back from his meditation. After the war just now, Zhou Shilang felt that he must have underestimated the strength of he Chongxin's forbidden army. Although Su Lu's command is very powerful, he Chongxin's people have two brushes.
It's really uneconomical to give such a powerful group of people to Dingxiang army.
Su Lu took a look at he Chongxin and saw that he lowered his head. He suddenly understood that Zhou Shilang must have promised benefits to he Chongxin. The boy still wanted to stay in the military headquarters. No, he wanted to stay next to benefits.
"Yes, people are your own, you has the final say," Zhou.
Su Lu didn't care. He was just asking casually. He Chongxin has some potential, but it's only potential. Without experience, he is just doing nothing in the end.
When the party arrived at the military headquarters, Zhou Shilang handed Su Lu to Yan Tong and went directly to Li Shangshu.
When such a big thing happened today, Zhou Shilang thought that the patrol camp was targeting himself and the military department. The military department must come up with countermeasures, otherwise it will be suppressed everywhere by the eldest son of the emperor. How can we stick to our strategies in the court in the future.
Yan Tong led Su Lu to the archive room of the Ministry of war.
"These rooms are used to store daily official documents. There are more and more official documents in the hundred years of the national Dynasty. Lord Li has made a decision and has specially set up a yard to store official documents“
"These rooms are used to store the lists of captains and soldiers of Weifu everywhere."
"This is a geographical map of mountains and rivers. There are two copies of the mountain map you robbed from the Tule people, Governor Su."
"These are the records of the imperial court over the years."
Yan Tong wholeheartedly introduced Su Lu to the archives of the Ministry of war. She was very curious. General Su Lu was invincible. Who learned it from, and whether his teacher roster would also be in these archives.
Su Lu pointed to the room where the war records over the years were kept and asked Yan Tong.
"Lord Yan, are the records of this year's war in Xuanfu and Bingzhou and the writings of Weifu all here?"
Yan Tong looked at the little official beside him. The little official was quite old. He nodded his head and said, "yes, sir, all the war writings sent to the military headquarters by the Xuanfu Prefecture are archived here, and the writings of the Weifu Prefecture are in the next room."
Su Lu said to Yan Tong, "Lord Yan is busy. I'll go when I find the file I want to see."
Yan Tong told the officials to take care of Su Lu carefully, meet his requirements as much as possible, and then went to be busy. As the head of the military department, Yan Tong kept his feet off the ground every day. It was entirely up to Zhou Shilang to show Su Lu the way.
Yan Tong left. Su Lu asked the officials in charge of the storehouse, "is there any information about Tule, which is only in Xuanfu, related to Dongtang Daying and Xuanfu Jiedu?"
The petty official frowned, tossed among the files almost piled up on the roof for a while, took out several files, put them on the table and said:
"Sir, they are all here. The rest are in your office and haven't been filed yet."
Su Lu nodded and took out a file.
On the second day of the first month of the seventh year of Tianzheng, Xu Song, the hunter of Xiaowangzhuang, reported that he found the whereabouts of the Tule people in Siming Mountain. The guard house patrolled Chengying and Xiangyong, inspected Dongshi Township, and encountered a group of Tule Zhaowu nine surnames in the shantun of Dongshan Township
Su Lu looked at the cover. It was a record of Wei's residence in Xuanfu and Weizhou, but it was only recorded in December last year, and there were no files for the first half of this year.
The treasurer tossed the files several times and found the files of Yanzhou and Beiyang to Su Lu.
Su Lu was more and more frightened. Tule's penetration into the Xuanfu house was almost pervasive. The Xuanfu house governs all counties. There are records of Tule's army almost every month, and the village was kidnapped every month.
Putting down the case file, Su Lu breathed a sigh. The Xuanfu affair was so rotten.
Changning saw Su Lu put down the case file and got up happily. Finally, he could go back. He hated reading. He had a headache when he saw the book. He really didn't understand what good-looking these case solving files were.
Su Lu took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the treasurer: "brother, take it and have some tea. Looking at the records in this file, I thought our northern territory had been captured by the Tule people. There are Tule people everywhere."
The treasurer refused a few times, took the silver, smiled and said, "it's clear to all the masters in the capital that the Xuanfu house is corrupt. Millions of silver are invested in the Xuanfu house every year. It's a miracle that the Xuanfu house can persist until now."
Su Lu's face stagnated. The more he listened, the more wrong he felt. Xuanfu is still the Xuanfu of the Han state. According to the meaning of the small officials in charge of the Treasury, it seems that Xuanfu is about to fall.
After leaving the military headquarters, Su Lu walked in the street and casually asked Changning, "how could your princess be assigned to Beiyang as a county Lieutenant?"
Changning's face should be: "the county captain is only a virtual position. There is no County captain in all the prefectures and counties of the imperial court. The county captain is only a virtual position assigned by the prince and princess. The prince guards the gate of the country, and the two princesses are granted to Jiangzhou. Naturally, my princess can only go to the north."
Su Lu was even more surprised. The county captain was just a virtual job. Now there is a saying that the prince guarded the country. No wonder Li Dingyuan, the emperor, dared to go to the Xuanfu house in person for a volume of atlas. Lao Li was also a person guarding the country in those years.
"Get out of the way"
"Pa"
The sound of whips and drinking and scolding sounded in front of him.
Su Lu looked up in amazement and saw that Changning had rushed out, as strong as a cheetah, and jumped at a bearded Knight waving a whip.
"Dare to stand in the way of my adults and find..."
Before the big man spoke, he threw out his whip and hit the crying little girl in the middle of the road.
Changning's hand was like electricity. He grabbed the whip and protected the little girl holding her head.
"Take people away quickly and don't get in the way of my adults."
Big beard was also a bully. He was caught by Changning, grabbed the whip twice, didn't grab it, and he was soft with a black face.
Changning loosened the whip, bent down and picked up the little girl. Just about to get up, there was a sound of drinking and scolding among the crowd watching the excitement along the road, mixed with exclamation.
"Pa"
My back hurts.
Changning took the little girl in his arms, took a few steps back, put down the little girl and glared at the big beard waving a whip. This man was so shameless that he was soft on the front and attacked on the back.
"Shua"
Changning has pulled out his sword around his waist.
Bearded looked proud, raised the hem of his clothes and said proudly, "see, I'm an envoy of the state of Tang. Move me, boy."
