Chapter 404 Opportunity for meritorious service

It is obviously a very reliable opportunity to capture Shi Siming, a traitor of the Tang Dynasty, but there is a premise, that is, you must have real evidence to prove that Shi Siming's disappearance is related to their abnormal behavior.

Li Yi has always believed in his feelings, and Li Yi knows Yan Zhuang's familiarity with Shi Siming. Since Yan Zhuang has not found Shi Siming's traces in Hebei Road and around him for so long, it means that Shi Siming must be hiding in a place that is extremely difficult to think of.

If Pugu Huaien had not done anything strange, Li Neng would have really never thought of him. But now, Li Neng looked at the map and connected these two seemingly unrelated people together, and everything that happened now seemed so natural.

Next, Li Qing knew that all he had to do was wait patiently, at least waiting for the result of two things. One was Liu Yan's review of the Ministry of Personnel. After the review of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Qing believed that he would catch the braids of many people. As for whether to fix them, he would just leave the final say.

Another one is the result of Yan Zhuang's investigation of the Beiting Protectorate. If the matter is really as Li Yong guessed, this matter should not be good.

The single-line connection between Li Neng and Yan Zhuang was quite fast. Before Nan Jiyun received Li Neng's general order, Yan Zhuang already knew about Pu Gu Huai'en's abnormality and Li Neng's guess.

He wanted to take action as soon as possible, but after hesitating for a moment, he still stood up and went to Du Huangshang's mansion. During this period, he had been in Pingzhou and discussed Shi Siming's affairs with Du Huangshang.

"This is the news your Majesty just sent. The matter is very urgent. I wanted to act alone, but after thinking about your previous guess, I should still tell you what you think."

Du Huangshang carefully read the letter Li Yan to Yan Zhuang twice, then frowned and pondered for a long time, and then outlined the map in the hall for a long time before speaking.

"Your Majesty's guess is similar to my previous guess. If he was still near Hebei Road with 30,000 troops, we would have been able to track his traces. But now his traces have been lost for three or four months, and before they finally lost their traces, weren't they exactly going to the Beiting Protectorate?"

After hearing this, Yan Zhuang nodded slightly. Although there were still some questions in his heart, such as Pugu Huaien married his daughter to the Uighurs, so there must be some connection between him and the Uighurs. In this case, if Shi Siming went to his territory, even if he did not report to the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't he still tell the Uighurs?

But Li Yan had already said in his letter that Pugu Huaien would not have had too close contact with the Uighurs when Li Yan had just finished fighting with the Uighurs. It might be because Shi Siming saw these that he took advantage of the loopholes.

Du Huangshang still very much agreed with Li Qing's speculation, so Yan Zhuang did not refute it. Whether it was Li Qing or Du Huangshang, he must have crushed him in terms of IQ, and he could still accept this.

"Since that's the case, I will take people to the night and go to the Beiting Protectorate before. This matter concerns when His Majesty will take action against them and cannot be delayed!"

After Du Huangshang received a positive answer, Yan Zhuang's previous uncertainty was considered to have come to an end. He got up and was about to leave.

"Sir, this time... let me go with you, how about it?"

When Yan Zhuang heard this, his brows immediately frowned. In his opinion, Du Huangshang was just a scholar and had no experience in becoming an official, so he had to follow him to do such a dangerous thing, so he had no idea what Du Huangshang was thinking.

"You are Sima of Pingzhou, and you are not like me who has no official position. Once your identity is exposed, you will not want to hang out in the officialdom in the future."

After all, Yan Zhuang is not a novice in the officialdom. For such a young man’s whim, he must be persuaded to persuade him.

"If Your Majesty makes me an official in a stable manner, it would be better than I had been in Chang'an City before. Why did you let me work in a border area like Pingzhou? As Pingzhou has not had any major problems recently. Please let me follow this incident! I can write a letter in advance. If something really happens, please give it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will naturally not blame Mr. "

After saying that, Du Huangshang didn't say anything and started writing letters directly. His actions were obviously telling Yan Zhuang that he was not joking.

Yan Zhuang shook his head helplessly, then sat back in a corner of the room, waiting for Du Huangshang to complete his letter.

This is a very rare feeling of being believed by Yan Zhuang from others except Li Qing. The fact that Du Huangshang could hand him such a letter at least shows that he trusted him very much. For Yan Zhuang, this means a lot.

Through this incident, Du Huangshang has been showing off a lot of things in terms of both his character and his vision.

He suddenly felt another layer of intention of Li Qing putting him in the position of Sima, Pingzhou. Although he placed him in Pingzhou, since he introduced a person like Yan Zhuang to his side, he obviously reminded himself that he could not only focus on Pingzhou, or even on the boundary of Hebei Road.

So he made this decision and decided to go out with Yan Zhuang once to see where the real danger of the Tang Dynasty was hidden.

Almost everyone wanted him to leave for a few days, as he was in charge of everything in Pingzhou, so when Du Huangshang found an excuse to take leave from the prefect and said he wanted to go back to Chang'an City, the prefect agreed to him without asking anything.

On Hebei Road, Yan Zhuang had more than 200 people under his command. These people followed him on weekdays, and the rest were scattered around Hebei Road. Therefore, Yan Zhuang basically knew about the big and small things in the Hebei Road realm.

These more than 200 people were the most elite 200 cavalrymen that Li Qing had to come out of Chen Zhibao and Nan Jiyun before leaving Hebei Road. In addition, some of Yan Zhuang's own confidants before, they were Yan Zhuang's eyes and nose, and Yan Zhuang was Li Qing's eyes and nose in Hebei Road.
