Li Po stared at Hu for a long time, and then waved his hand for everyone else to get out.
"I have something for you to do..."
With just this sentence, Li Po looked at Hu Da and stopped talking.
A guy like Hu Da is the most calm person. Whether he is pretending to be deep and mysterious or because the industry needs it, all the impatient people are dead anyway. He can survive to this day, and his patience must be good.
.
But after so many days, his temper has been almost worn away, and his patience has also become much worse.
But after a while, he couldn't help it any longer and asked: "General...can you trust me, General?"
Li Po laughed, this was just nonsense.
"There is no need to say anything too trustworthy about this matter. One more of you is not more, and one less of you is not more. I will send you to follow... What matters is your vigilance..."
"Let's put it this way, I'm going to send someone to Chang'an to pick up some people. If I encounter some sneaky people, just point them out."
"If I hadn't been able to escape, I wouldn't have needed you."
"As for you, you ran away as soon as you got out of Yunnei. No one will chase you. If you follow me to Chang'an, I think you won't ruin my affairs. After all, we are not a big enemy. You have to hurt others without benefiting yourself.
If so, I'm afraid your life will not be saved."
"After finishing the matter for me, if you can come back to Yunnei, I will regard you as my confidant... Of course, I will send people to keep a close eye on you. As long as you enter the Kansai territory, if you disappear,
If things go wrong, then our account will be settled. Are you willing to leave some people in Mayi City behind?"
Hu Da thought silently for a long time. He cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your instructions."
Yes, there is no clue. Li Po will not let this person accompany him. As for where the clue comes from. Haha, Mayi City is in chaos, but it is far worse than Yunnei who is like an iron barrel.
Liu Wuzhou had sent assassins to Yunnei, and if Li Po still let it go, it wouldn't be him. Moreover, he and his subordinates, many of whom came from the Mayi defenders and Mayi county soldiers, were trying to inquire about something. Don't do it.
It was too easy. As for Hu Da's matter, it was just a matter of convenience.
It can be said that if he sends his troops south to seize Mayi now, he may be able to capture the city of Mayi without much effort.
"There are no instructions. You can just listen to Lieutenant Li Wu and Lieutenant Li later. You only need to remember one thing. Open your eyes wide. Prick up your ears and try your best to help Lieutenant Li succeed. That's what I said.
Is that clear enough?"
This is using people as hunting dogs, which is a very unpleasant thing to say.
Hu Da gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, Lord. Hu Da will take over this matter, but Hu Da also has something to ask for. I hope that the Lord will fulfill it."
"Say." Li Po now felt more confident and sent an assassin to follow Li Wu. It should be helpful, but he couldn't trust this person.
But it's just like what he said. If Hu is too big, it won't be too much, and if he is missing, it won't be too much. A person like this who collects people's money to help others eliminate disasters is actually more trustworthy than many people in practical terms.
"If the general can bring the villain's brothers and our family members from the city of Mayi to Yunnei to live there, I will definitely serve the commander to the best of my ability."
Li Po smiled and said to himself, you also know that Mayi City is going to be in chaos, right?
This time, he didn't even need to say anything else. He just waved his hands, closed his eyes and rested his mind. Hu Da looked at it, and finally said nothing more. He bowed and retreated.
…………………………
The turmoil in Chang'an and Jin actually represented that the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty had entered a new stage.
At the beginning of the thirteenth year of Daye.
Dou Jiande couldn't wait to lead his army into Hebei. He took control of Leshou in Hebei and called him the King of Changle.
This is an inevitable result, because now most of the rebel forces in Shandong and Hebei have fallen under the command of Dou Jiande. His subordinates will not be happy if he does not proclaim himself king and emperor.
In Henan, Li Mi and Zhai Rang, who were in a stalemate, finally reached a temporary reconciliation, led their troops westward, and began a long campaign to attack the eastern capital Luoyang.
At the beginning of this year, they captured Xingluo Cang and opened the warehouse to store grain. Henan heroes joined them one after another. The Wagang Army became more powerful and famous in Heluo.
In fact, this is the time when the Wagang army is at its strongest.
At this time, in the internal fight, Li Mi also had the upper hand. Zhai Rang, a small official from Dongjun County who was a gangster leader, could not compete with Li Mi, who had an extraordinary background, so he bowed his head and gave in for the time being.
Li Mi proclaimed himself Duke of Wei, probably because he wanted to be the second prime minister who could hold the emperor hostage and command the princes.
He felt that he had plenty of time, so he was not in a hurry to attack Luoyang City. After enfeoffing officials on a large scale, he ordered various ministries to attack the city and isolate Luoyang first.
Although there were many rebels in the world at this time, the most powerful one was probably the Wagang Army led by Li Mi. Hundreds of thousands of people, during the thirteenth year of Daye, turned the fertile soil of Henan upside down.
There was no way, Luoyang was the most important place for food and grass in the world, and when Li Mi conquered Henan, food and grass was not a problem at all. It is said that the Wagang Army had enough food to last them for several years.
But the chronic diseases of the rebel army cannot be avoided.
Soon, Zhai Rang led his army back to Zhengzhou. In fact, at this time, the Wagang army was divided. The Wagang heroes each had their own masters. You looked down on me, and I looked down on you. It was very unpleasant.
This strong two-headed snake was finally about to bite each other, but the city of Luoyang, which they all thought was theirs, was turning into an isolated city, but it was still standing there.
And this Luoyang City is not the original ancient city of Luoyang. This is the new eastern capital built by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty with great effort. It is much taller and stronger than the new Chang'an.
Moreover, there is no shortage of food and grass in Luoyang City.
Not to mention Henan, in the northwest frontier where rebels were swarming, some people also unanimously declared themselves emperors and kings at this time.
Shuofang Yingyanglang general raised troops from all Liang divisions and proclaimed himself the Prime Minister. Soon after, he defeated Honghua, Yan'an and other counties, and became the emperor. His country was named Liang, and he faced the north. At the beginning, Khan named him the "Emperor of Jieshi".
The exiled prisoner Guo Zihe was proclaimed King Yongle in Yulin. He was connected to the capital of Liang to the south and to the Turks to the north. He was originally the closest to the Turks. Shibi Khan also wanted him to contain the capital of Liang, so he named him Pingyang Khan.
, which obviously means having high hopes for him.
Guo Zihe was shocked. Pingyang Khan, he was neither so capable nor so ambitious, so he refused, and in the end he had to be given the title of general.
It almost became a tribe affiliated with the Turks.
At this time, the tycoon Xue Ju was unwilling to be outdone, and raised troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, calling himself the Overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty and occupying the land of Longyou.
Of course, these guys in the northwest are not weak either. The remnants of Bai Yusuo's rebel army were all divided up by them.
Or to put it another way, those who first raised the flag of righteousness are all cannon fodder. Now you look at the world, who is left who rose up just to fill their stomachs?
Even if there are some left, who among them still remembers the original intention of the uprising?
And the turmoil in the world finally opened the curtain of separatism among the princes.
Of course, none of this had much to do with Li Po. At the beginning of Daye's thirteenth year, he finally received a very important piece of news that he had been waiting for for a long time.
There was chaos in Zhuojun. Luo Yi, the general of Huben who was stationed in Zhuojun, mobilized his troops to rebel without permission. He attacked Zhao Shizhu and others. He took possession of the county and proclaimed himself the general manager of Youzhou, and became the king of the mountain.
There is not much to say about this man. Like many generals of the Sui army, he was brave and good at fighting, and he was also loved by his subordinates.
It's just that this person is not lacking in anything in general.
Dou Jiande grew stronger under his nose and occupied most of Hebei, but he was indifferent and just led his army to stay in Youzhou and lived his own small life.
Across Youzhou, Dou Jiande was desperately sending people to flatter the Turks, but he also made no move.
Of course, this does not rule out the fact that the Zhuojun garrison suffered repeated heavy losses, suffered civil strife, and was short of troops.
Luo Yi knew that Dou Jiande's rebel army would come to attack Zhuojun sooner or later, so he had been stepping up his precautions. But what he didn't know was that there was someone coveting his territory across the Taihang Mountains. This was really hard to guard against.
…………………………
On this day in late January, Li Po heard bad news.
Sima Sudan of Tongshou Prefecture, who had recovered from his illness and lost a lot of weight, came to him together with Wang Qing, a soldier and military officer, and told him that Mayi might be hit by a disaster this year.
Drought is a very ominous term.
In fact, the signs of drought had already appeared in the winter of the twelfth year of Daye.
Until now, there haven't been many snowfalls in Mayi County. Anyone who is familiar with the farming season will understand what this means.
If there is less rain in spring, the drought will be determined.
The two literati who were the only ones around Li Po analyzed it for him. If the drought was milder, it would not have much impact on Yunnei, because Yunnei was full of pastures and few people were plowing the fields.
Therefore, as long as the drought is mild, Yun Nei can completely withstand it, because grazing is afraid of severe droughts and snow disasters.
Of course, if the drought is severe, there won't be much to say.
With today's technology, there is no need to think too much. There are only a few ways to deal with drought, such as digging wells, building embankments to store water, getting food elsewhere, and if possible, getting more pasture.
Immediately afterwards, news of civil strife in Zhuo County arrived at the right time.
But what made Li Po a little uncomfortable was that news came from Mayi City that there was something strange about Mayi County Lieutenant Liu Wuzhou...
(Ah Cao can’t keep his eyes open. I finally finished coding this chapter. I always feel like I can’t keep up with the plot ideas. I spent more than four hours coding this chapter. Alas, it seems that the chapter will be released at 9 o’clock tomorrow.
It still has to be postponed, but the good thing is that it is finally updated twice a day. The subsequent plot of Ah Cao is still being conceived, and it will definitely be very slow to write, and it will give me a headache.
Finally, I would like to ask in a low voice, do you still have monthly tickets?)
