When autumn comes, we look at each other and still have fluttering hair, but we are still ashamed of Ge Hong for the cinnabar.

Spending the days drinking and singing wildly, who is the hero of flying and domineering?

——"Gift to Li Bai" by Du Fu

…

Early that morning, Huang Zhen was taking stock of recent expenses on the counter when he heard horse hooves galloping outside the house, as if there was an emergency military situation.

The two cavalrymen swung their stirrups and dismounted, broke into the Bashu Guild Hall, and said to Huang Zhen: "Sir, does Mr. Bai Fu from the Ministry of Household Affairs live here?"

Huang Zhen put down his abacus, walked out of the cabinet, saluted and asked, "What do you want to ask the two military masters?"

The soldier said: "The Ministry of War has transferred the order. Please ask Mr. Bai to take the order."

Huang Zhen was stunned and ordered his clerk to go and invite Bai Fu.

Seeing Bai Fu, the two soldiers bowed deeply and said: "I am a messenger from the Ministry of War, and I have been ordered by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ministry of War to deliver the dispatch order and recruit Mr. Bai to join the army.

The military situation is urgent, and I also ask Mr. Bai to set off immediately after receiving the transfer order, and be sure to arrive at the Luoyang Shuofang Army garrison on the first day of July.

For specific matters, Mr. Bai can go to the Ministry of War for consultation. The Ministry of War has a dedicated person to handle recruitment procedures, distribution of marching equipment and other matters for Mr. Bai."

Having said that, he respectfully handed over the fire paint transfer order from the Ministry of War to Bai Fu.

After the handover was completed, Huang Zhen withdrew several large sums of money from his account and rewarded them to the messenger. The messenger thanked him profusely, saluted him and left.

Bai Fu held the military command in his hand and was quite emotional. Since the two capitals were recovered, he had been dismissed from his military post and idled aside.

After Shi Siming revolted, he was looking forward to being called up by the Ministry of War all the time. When the moment of dispatch finally came, he was a little at a loss as to what to do.

Bai Fu raised his eyebrows and said to Huang Zhen, "I'll go to the Ministry of War to see what's going on."

…

In mid-April of the second year of Qianyuan, Shi Siming worshiped heaven in Fan Yang, proclaimed himself Emperor of Dayan, and changed his reign to Shuntian. He made his wife Xin the queen, his son Shi Chaoyi the king Huai, and appointed Zhou Zhi as the prime minister, and Li Gui

Ren was made the general. The capital was set at Fan Yang and renamed Yanjing.

The news that Shi Siming proclaimed himself emperor reached Chang'an, and Suzong suffered from a high fever and fell ill.

This damn rebellion is like weeds in the wilds all over the mountains. Wildfires cannot burn them out, but they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. After An Lushan died, An Qingxu came, and after An Qingxu came Shi Siming. God knows how many rebellious officials will come after this Shi Siming.

Thief, trying to compete in the Central Plains and dominate the country? How long will it take for the days of wars and thieves to come to an end? He has been a thrilling prince for decades, and he finally managed to stand out and sit on the throne.

, I can’t sleep peacefully even one day...

On May 17, Suzong appointed Xu Shuji, the governor of the Huapu War Zone (within the jurisdiction of five states: Hua, Pu, Bian, Cao, and Song), as the prefect of Bianzhou (now KF City, Henan Province), and also as the governor of the Huapu War Zone (within the jurisdiction of five states: Hua, Pu, Bian, Cao, and Song).

Seven states: Hua, Bian, Cao, Song, Xu, Si, Hai) Jiedushi.

Liu Zhan, the governor of Ruzhou (today's Ruzhou City, Henan), was appointed as the governor of Huazhou and served as the deputy envoy of Huabian Jiedu.

On June 23, the Shuofang War Zone was divided and another Pingning War Zone was established. (The headquarters is located in Pizhou, today's Binzhou City, Shaanxi Province. The nine prefectures under its jurisdiction are: Pi, Ning, Qing, Jing, Yuan, Fu, Fang, Dan, and Yan

)

Guo Ziyi, the governor of Shuofang, wrote to Su Zong, saying that since Shi Siming proclaimed himself emperor, he must be ready to go south and west. The war was about to break out. He suggested that the court deploy military arrangements as soon as possible and prepare for the war in advance.

In addition, after the death of the magical general Li Siye, the Tang army was in urgent need of a brave general who could defeat the three armies bravely. He could kill the general and capture the flag in front of the battle line to boost the morale of the army and glorify the military power of the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Ziyi once again begged Suzong to appoint Bai Fu, who was idle at home, as the pioneer of the official seal of the Tang Dynasty!

After reading Guo Ziyi's memorial, Suzong walked to the table and took off the sword of King Qing Li Cong from the sword stand. Suzong slowly pulled the sword out of the box, and saw that the sword body was like a stream of autumn water, shining with deep cold.

Biting and sharp.

Suzong said: "Brother, this sword has been hidden for a long time, it's time to take it out of its sheath!"

……valley

After returning from the Ministry of War, Bai Fu inquired about many situations and began to prepare for departure.

Bai Fu said to Huang Zhen and Tang Kui: "The secret spies of the Tang Sect have been training for some time, and they can be dispatched now. They will set off in batches and lurk in the roads of Hebei and Hedong to survey the enemy's situation and wait for instructions.

The elite soldiers of the Sichuan Gang continue to train in Lihentian, I will first go to Shuofang Military Camp to investigate the situation, and once I can lead an army alone, I will arrange for them to join my tribe."

After the arrangements were made, Bai Fu brought all the equipment and set off for Luoyang with Tang Huan and five other Sichuan Gang and Tang Sect disciples.

In July, Bai Fu arrived in Luoyang as scheduled and came to Shuofang's army station.

A hundred steps away from the camp gate, I heard an order, and countless crossbows were poked out from the tower walls. The vigilant sentry shouted: "This is an important military area, and all the idlers should leave quickly. If you dare to approach again, you will be shot to death!"

Bai Fu said loudly: "I am Bai Fu, the general of Dingyuan. I have received an order from the Ministry of War to report to Shuofang Army."

The sentry said: "Please submit the order from the military department. Listen carefully, only one person is allowed to come forward!" After that, he lowered a bamboo basket from the tower.

Bai Fu rode forward alone and placed the military command in the basket. The bamboo basket slowly rose up and was stored in the watchtower.

After a while, the camp door was ajar, and an officer led a dozen soldiers in full armor on horseback.

The officer clasped his fists and saluted: "I am Tie Zheng, the commander of the Hubao Camp of the Shuofang Army. I welcome General Bai to be transferred to the Shuofang Army. However, General Bai's transfer order only has your name on it, so your soldiers can only wait outside the camp temporarily. Wait until

Only after the commander gives permission can you enter the camp with the command arrow."

Bai Fu nodded, turned around and gave some instructions to Tang Huan and others, and then followed Brigade Commander Tie Zheng into the Shuofang Army barracks.

The Shuofang army camp was heavily guarded, with war flags and swords and halberds standing in full bloom. Tens of thousands of soldiers were shuttled back and forth in the camp, busy making preparations, but the huge military camp was silent, and no one dared to make a noise in the army.

The tents in the camp are neatly arranged and spaced; the roads in the camp are crisscrossed, and people and horses are diverted; the camp is neat and clean, and the sewage facilities are complete. There is no sewage flowing across the camp and muddy roads that are common in Tang Army camps...

Regarding matters such as planning military camps and improving military discipline, General Wang Zhongsi once took the trouble to teach Bai Fu over and over again, down to the smallest detail.

Bai Fu is also considered a semi-expert, and he can understand the subtleties at a glance.

"Shuai Guo is indeed worthy of his reputation. He is rigorous in running the army and has a certain degree of relaxation."

Bai Fu admired him and secretly praised him.

Along the way, Brigade Commander Tie Zheng was silent. When he was approaching the tent, Tie Zheng asked seemingly casually: "General Bai, you were recruited by Commander Guo, right?"

Bai Fu was stunned and said, "That's what the Ministry of War told me. What's wrong with that?"

Brigadier Tiezheng paused, glanced at Bai Fu, and said, "Commander Guo was transferred back to Chang'an the day before yesterday. Now the commander-in-chief of Shuofang's army is General Li Guangbi. He runs the army very strictly, so you have to be more careful."

After saying that, without saying a word, he took Bai Fu into the side tent, said goodbye and left.

During Bai Fu's trip, he traveled under starry night and in a hurry. He didn't receive the pigeon message in time, so he didn't know about it. He suddenly heard that Shuofang's army had changed its commander, and he was very uneasy.

Bai Fu thought to himself: "I have no contact with General Guangbi. If I had known this, I might as well have been transferred to the Anxi Army and become familiar with generals such as Li Fei Yuanli and Duan Xiushi."

While he was thinking wildly, the curtain opened and a junior officer came in, claiming to be a soldier of General Guangbi. The soldier saluted Bai Fu and said, "General Bai? Please follow me. The general has just been promoted."

Bai Fu followed this man to the Chinese army's tent, and saw Shuofang's army generals, all tall and strong, wearing helmets and carrying armor, holding swords in their hands, standing on both sides with murderous intent.

On the coach's big tiger-skin chair, there is a tall and burly man, with a high nose and deep eyes, a broad face and beard, and a head of rough curly hair protruding from the helmet, which looks quite weathered.

The Lion King.

This man was none other than the commander-in-chief of Shuofang Army and the most feared opponent in Shi Siming’s life—Li Guangbi!
