Great Tang Broom Star

The atmosphere inside Baiqi was somewhat delicate.

The top leader, Tang Xu, has become more and more lazy recently, and the second leader, Jia Pingan, is so busy.

But Cheng Da, the former second-in-command and now the third-in-command, is very leisurely.

Some people said that it was inappropriate for Jia Pingan to take care of all the work, and Cheng Da should do some of it.

But Jia Pingan turned a deaf ear to this.

He wants to transform Baiqi.

"Your Majesty has thousands of cattle guards around him, and the addition of Baiqi is just superimposed manpower. What's the use? Over time, Baiqi will become a chicken rib."

This is Jia Pingan's perception of Baiqi.

Tang Xu nodded, "Some people have always said that Baiqi is useless, and it is best to expand or cancel it. You said that this is why His Majesty wants to expand Baiqi. What can be done?"

Shao Peng was also a little depressed, "Baiqi looks pretty good now, but after all, it's repeated with Qianniuwei. Qianniuwei is a place for the sons of officials and dignitaries. Your Majesty will not revoke it. If this is the case, Baiqi will become tasteless."

What can I do?

Jia Pingan said: "Someone was thinking that there are all opponents around the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, Korea, Turkic, Western Regions... There were changes in various places, but the court was caught off guard. For example, the last time Chebi Khan killed the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, the news broke It was long overdue, the first emperor ordered Gao Kan to attack, but it was a bit late..."

Tang Xu raised his hand, "What do you want to say?"

"Why not create a place to check out the opponent? For example, Baiqi."

Tang Xu took a deep breath, "You are trying to grab a job in the army!"

Jia Pingan said indifferently: "They didn't think of such a thing themselves, why don't we take the lead?"

"Datang relied on envoys to inquire about the outside world, and relied on spies in the army. They were scattered and scattered. No one had ever thought of such a thing. Xiao Jia, how did you grow your brain?"

Shao Peng slapped his thigh, and Tang Xu yelled, "Dog servant."

"This kills two birds with one stone! Datang knows more about the outside world, and Baiqi is out of the predicament. Good!"

Shao Peng said with a red face: "Xiao Jia is indeed my tiger!"

Cheng Da dumbly sat on the side,

I feel like I'm redundant.

In the meeting of the Big Four, when someone often does not speak up, he will naturally be marginalized.

This is the disadvantage of playing low-key and avoiding disasters when there is nothing to do. For example, Li Jing, a famous expert on disaster avoidance, is a real bull. .

This is the best way to avoid disaster, and others cannot learn it.

The second is Li Ji.

Li Ji is the type of a great hermit who hides in the court. The emperor and the Shandong clan need him to stand in the court hall, so he can only bite the bullet and do left servant shooting, and then he is besieged by the small circle.

The third class is Cheng Zhijie, who feels that he has made too many meritorious deeds and is too good at writing, so he simply stays at home without going out, and hardly sees guests. But this method is too low-level and is looked down upon. In history, he got the chance to go to war, and he was cautious and cautious. He was called an expert in prudence. In the end, he didn't dare to question the lieutenant's flicker... which finally led to the disadvantage of the war.

Cheng Da is Cheng Zhijie's technique. When something happens, I don't speak up. If it's beneficial, I will go to it. If there is trouble, I will hide...

But Cheng Zhijie was the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. He led the army many times in the past and was invincible. The same surname is Cheng, you Cheng Da... count.

Cheng Da also felt that this was inappropriate, so he consciously talked more.

"But Baiqi doesn't understand these..."

Well!

This is a problem.

"I'm already thinking about it in the professor. I haven't seen those brothers changing clothes all day long, learning Turkic and Tubo..." Jia Ping'an has been planning this for a long time. Camouflage, language, survival in the wilderness, assassination, hiding traces...

Cheng Da was stalked for a moment, "But the military probably won't agree."

Shaopeng nodded, "Baiqi is His Majesty's man. When Baiqi goes to investigate the situation of the enemy country, it depends on what the old commanders want."

Jia Pingan stood up, "Go and ask."

What he said was as simple as going to Dongshi to ask about the price of vegetables.

Later, Jia Pingan appeared in Zuo Wuwei.

"The old man's good grandson-in-law is here."

Liang Jianfang came out laughing, and the generals around him gave Jia Pingan a wry smile of sympathy.

No one dared to beep when they met this person.

"certain……"

"Come in and talk." Liang Jianfang slapped Jia Pingan on the shoulder.

Once inside, Liang Jianfang pulled over the map, "Look, if Tubo wants to go to war with Tang Dynasty, where do you think we should start?"

While moving his shoulders, Jia Pingan looked at the map and pointed to Tuyuhun, "Tuyuhun, if Tubo wants to break through the blockade of the Tang Dynasty, it must take down Tuyuhun. There are people, horses and livestock...it is a treasure land."

"Everyone knows this." Liang Jianfang pointed to the side and asked, "How about Bai Lan?"

"Bai Lan Kingdom is a shield...it is the barrier between Tang and Tubo."

"..."

After some questions, Liang Jianfang kicked Jia Pingan out, "Go away."

Jia Ping slapped his forehead, only to realize that he was fooled by Lao Liang.

"General, something is up!"

"I know you have something to do, but I don't want to hear it today." Liang Jianfang sat there, looking like a god.

The evil spirit of the old thing is really heavy.

Jia Pingan went out in despair.

Old Liang, don't regret it!

He went straight to find Su Dingfang.

The first emperor didn't like Su Dingfang, but Li Zhi was quite optimistic about him when he was emperor and courtier.

"Xiao Jia."

Su Dingfang was very happy to see Master Jia, and asked someone to make tea, and he picked up the book of war and sent out soul torture.

Why do these old guys like to test me?

Jia Pingan answered one by one, which can be called perfect.

"That's right." Su Dingfang was very satisfied, and then frowned at him, "Just say something, as soon as you hesitate, the old man will know that the matter is not small. If it were someone else, the old man would kick him out with one kick. .But you... just tell me."

wipe!

This group of old things are all good people.

Lao Liang could tell at a glance that he was not a good visitor, probably because he was in trouble, so after questioning him, he kicked him out.

But Lao Su was upright, even if he knew it was troublesome, he was still willing to listen.

"This matter...General Su Lang, I feel that there is something missing in the army."

Su Dingfang has a wide mouth and big ears, and when he frowns, he looks very powerful, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't be tactful, that's how girls speak."

Jia Pingan smiled dryly, "A large army needs scouts and scouts, so that they can know the enemy's situation. But a country and many forces are enemies, how should we send out?"

Su Dingfang was taken aback, "You mean... to set up a yamen that specializes in inquiring about the news of the enemy country?"

"General Su Lang is wise." Jia Pingan flattered him a little.

"In the past, most of the news in the army...was sent out by spies. If you get a full-time yamen, the army doesn't care about it. It's wonderful to gather the news!"

Su Dingfang looked at Jia Pingan carefully, "This is a good thing, why are you hesitating and refusing to say it?"

Well!

Jia Pingan smiled, "Someone thinks Baiqi can do this..."

"roll!"

Su Dingfang kicked Jia Pingan out, "That's His Majesty's Baiqi, get out!"

Standing in the imperial city, Jia Pingan felt that he had gone in the wrong direction and should go to the emperor.

When he returned to Baiqi, Cheng Da saw his calm expression and asked, "Do you agree, old men?"

Jia Pingan shook his head, "Everyone is afraid."

Cheng Da thought to himself that this was the emperor's hundred cavalry, and most people would stay far away. Those old men are all scum, no, they are all human beings, how could they get into trouble?

Go ahead and hit it.

Seeing Jia Pingan frowning and thinking hard, he couldn't help secretly gloating.

After Tang Xu learned of the situation, he came to comfort Jia Pingan, "Take this matter slowly."

But somehow, the news was known by the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War immediately reported back to Li Ji.

"My lord, such matters should be the responsibility of my Ministry of War, right?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War looked at Lao Li expectantly.

This issue……

Li Ji praised: "It's a good thing, but you came up with it? Not bad."

The Minister of the Ministry of War laughed, "It's not a lower official, but Jia Ping'an."

Xiao Jia is good.

Li Ji didn't know that Jia Ping'an was planning to expand Baiqi's functions, so he nodded, "This old man will speak to the court, and the Ministry of War can get a group of people right away. clear?"

"Everything is forewarned, it will be established, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. The lower officials understand." The Minister of the Ministry of War began preparations when he returned.

Then Li Ji put forward this suggestion in the court.

"this is not bad."

Even Changsun Wuji thought it was good and agreed with this suggestion.

Li Zhi praised: "Li Qing is resourceful, with such a place, in the future, he will specialize in inquiring about the enemy's news, so that the court and the government can respond in time, well, I think it is good."

Li Ji smiled warmly, "Your Majesty, this is not the minister's idea, but Jia Ping's idea."

Jia Pingan?

Li Zhi nodded, "He's been doing well in Baiqi recently, and Tang Xu also left most of the work for him, and he watched from the sidelines."

If Tang Xu wanted to be the hands-off shopkeeper, he had to get Li Zhi's consent first. This was his personal power.

Chu Suiliang coughed dryly, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I learned earlier that Jia Ping'an wanted to suggest Baiqi to do these things."

Well!

That Jia Pingan cheated countless people, but this time he was cheated backhandedly.

Happy to hear and see!

Even the eldest grandson Wuji, who doesn't care about such trivial matters, smiled and felt very comfortable.

Li Ji was startled, only to realize that he was afraid of disrupting Jia Pingan's methods.

Li Zhi frowned slightly, and after the prime ministers left later, he walked alone in the palace, muttering: "It would be better if Baiqi had more errands, but this time it was snatched by the Ministry of War, what a pity!"

Wang Zhongliang followed behind, thinking that Master Jia was a tragedy.

The emperor hoped that his power would be bigger. Jia Ping'an's plan this time was excellent, but he was intercepted by the Ministry of War.

Of course, the resources of the Ministry of War are much stronger than Baiqi, such as language experts, such as spies who are good at inquiring about news, etc.

It didn't take long for the Ministry of War to write a letter, saying that the establishment had been completed and people could be sent out to investigate.

This is to get off to a good start.

Li Zhi was very melancholy, and casually asked the old men to check and accept.

"Go to the Forbidden Garden."

When Li Zhi is in a bad mood, he likes to go to a certain place in the Forbidden Garden.

...

Baiqi, Cheng Da brought news.

"The Ministry of War has already been set up. Your Majesty said that the old commanders should check it out. This time we can be regarded as... making a wedding dress for someone else, hey!"

"Who leaked the news?" Tang Xu scolded: "If someone finds out, kill him."

"What are you talking about?" Shao Peng said: "It's a done deal. If it's not ours, it's not ours. Turn around... let's think about it."

That being said, how else can Baiqi find ways to expand his authority?

Such a good opportunity was thrown away in vain, and those who knew it were depressed.

"Little Jia Mo will be depressed." Shao Peng worried that Jia Ping'an would not be able to withstand the blows at a young age, so he cited his own ups and downs in the palace as examples to encourage him.

Tang Xu also talked about his experience in the army. For a while, the two big bosses were relieving Jia Pingan, which made Cheng Da feel sour.

Jia Pingan said with a smile: "I think... let's take a look."

"What are you looking at?" Tang Xu said, "All the veterans have gone to the Ministry of War. This matter is settled, and it's none of our business."

Jia Pingan just smiled, "Maybe there will be an accident."

Shaopeng shook his head, "The Ministry of War will take action, and it is certain to win."

Cheng Da sighed: "Xiao Jia, you have taken those brothers to practice in the Forbidden Garden these days, it is very hard, how about the captain...let Xiao Jia rest for a few days?"

This meant asking Jia Pingan to relax for a few days, and he took care of things by the way.

"No need."

Jia Pingan really doesn't need it.

Later, he brought dozens of hundred riders into the Forbidden Garden again.

Baiqi has the responsibility to inspect the Forbidden Garden, and now Tang Xu has also left this matter to him.

...

In late spring, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant in the Forbidden Garden.

Li Zhi took Wang Zhongliang with him, and guards followed him from afar.

Leaving the Xuanwu Gate and going left, Li Zhi looked at the scenery all the way, thinking about the benefits of expanding his personal power.

"That broom star's proposal is quite good, but it's a pity that things got leaked."

The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more regretful he became.

A few riders suddenly appeared ahead, and Wang Zhongliang shouted, "Who?"

Li Zhi frowned, "What are you talking about? It's Baiqi."

Sure enough, it was Baiqi who came, and Jia Ping'an was the leader.

"I have seen His Majesty."

Li Zhi asked: "But did the inspection come here?"

Jia Pingan said: "Your Majesty, Baiqi is practicing."

He and his subordinates are all in military uniform, and even carry bows and arrows.

Li Zhi nodded, "Qing is very diligent, I know."

Wang Zhonghao looked around curiously, "Jia Canjun, what can you practice here?"

Just waiting for you to ask such a sentence!

Jia Pingan felt that Wang Zhongliang had a talent for flattery.

"Your Majesty, the Baiqi is His Majesty's Baiqi." Jia Pingan first expressed his loyalty, "Everything is foregone, and if not forewarned, it will be abandoned. In order to better protect His Majesty, Baiqi has been practicing since half a year ago, for example... Hide your tracks and scout for news."

Huh!

Li Zhi raised his head, thinking that he was so intentional, so let's take a look.

"So I'll take a look."

But how to practice?

Li Zhi was confused, and Wang Zhongliang was even more confused.

Qian Niu Bei came from behind, and the two sides were deadly rivals. After a face-to-face meeting, when they heard about this, Qian Niu Bei came up with suggestions.

"Hide the trace, then hide here, and then I will find it later."

Li Zhi nodded, thinking that this proposal was good, he pointed to the right side and said, "Let them hide here."

Wang Zhongliang also waited curiously to watch the excitement.

But those few hundred riders didn't move, and even looked weird.

bold!

Wang Zhongliang frowned, "What is Jia Canjun waiting for?"

A Qianniu prepared himself and said: "There are some flower trees here, but they are not easy to hide."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "I won't go in, it's here, if I can't notice it, it will be considered a success."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Jia Ping'an looked troubled, "It's just... Please take a look, Your Majesty."

He pointed to his left side, which was the emperor's right side, "Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

"Um?"

Li Zhi frowned, looked carefully several times, and asked, "What's here?"

Jia Ping'an looked at those thousands of bulls preparing themselves.

Everyone is puzzled.

Jia Pingan clapped his hands, "Come out!"

Looking at the very quiet place just now, one by one dressed in camouflage stood up, and the nearest one was only three steps away from the emperor.

These hundred riders were dressed in colorful camouflage, and even their faces were smeared with grass juice so that their true colors could not be seen clearly. They appeared suddenly, like ghosts.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhongliang was frightened and rushed up to stand in front of Li Zhi.

Several Qianniu Beishen were also frightened and drew their swords hastily.

"It doesn't need to be like this." Li Zhi was also taken aback before, but now he stepped forward with great interest, reached out to touch Baiqi's disguise, and asked, "How did you do this?"

"It is made by mixing grass juice with other things. The grass juice has a strong taste, and it is not eye-catching if it is not mixed with other things."

Li Zhi stepped in and checked the hundred riders one by one.

"I've only looked at it a few times, and the nearest one is right by my feet, but I can't even find it. What if I am ambush the enemy general?"

Jia Pingan said: "Your Majesty, the enemy's generals will not leave the central army easily, and will be surrounded even if they go out. This kind of hiding is more important to avoid the opponent's search, and...to assassinate the enemy's dignitaries when necessary."

Li Zhi nodded, this kind of Baiqi made him feel very strange, but he was also very interested.

"Who practiced it?" He looked at it with his hands behind his back.

Jia Pingan smiled and said: "The minister just came up with an idea, and it depends on everyone's hard work and thinking."

He was doing this, and Tang Xu and Shao Peng acquiesced.

The subjects were proposed by him, and goals and suggestions were given. Many projects were done by him personally, and everyone provided suggestions.

A hundred riders raised their hands, "Your Majesty, this is a camouflage created by Jia Canjun. At the beginning, Jia Canjun said that there should be different camouflages in different environments, green, yellow..."

Jia Pingan smiled.

Li Zhi nodded slightly, feeling that it was rare for this young man to be so humble.

"Why are you doing this?"

Li Zhi asked suddenly.

This is what Jia Pingan was waiting for.

In the past few days, he led his subordinates to practice on the only way to Ganye Temple, just waiting for the rabbit.

The emperor came and saw Baiqi's efforts, so...

The preparation work of the Ministry of War was very hasty. They felt that if Baiqi retreated, they would have no opponents in this matter, so they were a little slack.

This is Baiqi's opportunity.

Jia Pingan said seriously: "Your Majesty, we need more powerful means to inquire about information from the outside world. The Ministry of War is no match for Baiqi!"

Since you want to start a movie with your opponent, don't say anything modest, just slap him.

Li Zhi glanced at him, but what he was thinking about was expanding his personal power.

This matter was Jia Ping'an's proposal. He originally agreed with it. Whoever wanted to be intercepted by the Ministry of War, all the officials agreed, so he could only endure it.

But Jia Pingan's move is clearly saying: Your Majesty, it is a mule or a horse, and pull Baiqi and the Ministry of War out for a while.

Very interesting idea.

Li Zhi nodded.

He really wanted to see the battle between the Ministry of War and Baiqi.
