The Great Wei Music Bureau

Last time we talked about Li Yi promising Xiao Ye that he would help her to seek revenge on Yu Wen Ye. So how will Li Yi end his feud with Yu Wen Ye? Let’s read on.

The next morning, Li Yi told Bailing to practice singing well, as he was going to Qingzhou City with Dugu Long and others. Bailing wanted to go with Li Yi, but she had to give up because the kiss mark on her neck had not yet disappeared. In fact, even if there was no kiss mark, Li Yi would have found a way to keep her, after all, he was not going there for sightseeing. So Li Yi took Xiao Ye and Dugu Long and others to say goodbye to Liu Ruyun and set off for Qingzhou City.

After walking for three days, Li Yi finished telling Nangong Xue about the Legend of the White Snake. Of course, this time he had an additional audience, Xiao Ye. Not only that, during these three days, Li Yi also did some serious work, discussing with Xiao Ye the costume designs for several special actors at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Whenever Li Yi wasn't telling stories to Nangong Xue, he would be drawing and discussing with Xiao Ye in the car. In the end, they had decided on all the costumes: Bailing's yellow and white dress would have a long and wide skirt, Zhao Hanfeng's bra and tights with high-slit trousers, Yuehua's Western-style tube top and skirt-pants, and he would have two sets of clothes of his own.

Finally, they arrived at Qingzhou City. Although it was not as big as the capital, it was the seat of the Qingzhou government and one of the many large cities of Wei. When they got here, Li Yi became serious. He saluted Dugu Long and asked, "Brother Long, do you have any plans?"

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Xiuyuan, you may not know my elder brother very well. He should have planned it long ago. Just follow my elder brother and watch!"

Li Yi asked curiously, "Brother Yu trusts Brother Long so much. It seems that Brother Long is very reliable. But I just want to know what will happen if Yuwen Tian still cannot hand over the weapons?"

Dugu Long smiled and said, "Xiuyuan, don't worry. If Yuwen Tian still can't hand over the weapons, I will definitely bring his entire clan to ruin."

Seeing Dugu Long's confident face, Li Yi didn't know what to say. The group arrived at the Qingzhou Arms Bureau, the door was closed, and there were four guards standing at the door. Dugu Long stepped forward to introduce himself, first the rules and then the soldiers, this is the basic procedure.

When several guards heard that it was General Dugu Long, they all bowed in respect. One of them immediately went in to report the news, and returned a moment later and said, "Reporting to General Dugu, Lord Yuwen is not here."

Dugu Long smiled and said, "Oh, if that's the case, shall we go in and wait for the adults to come back?"

The guard replied, "General Dugu, I am just a gatekeeper and do not have the authority to do so. Please do not embarrass me."

Dugu Long patted him on the shoulder and said, "It is of course a good thing to be loyal to your master, but today's matter is difficult to handle. You see, so many of us came to visit Lord Yuwen, but he avoided us. How bad is that! I boasted to my friends that Uncle Yuwen would definitely give me some face and not embarrass me, but now I can't even see him. I am really embarrassed."

The guard knew what Dugu Long meant, but what could he do? Dugu Long smiled and said, "I won't embarrass you, and you don't embarrass me either. Go and tell them that if I don't see Lord Yuwen today, Dugu Long will have to go to the warehouse and move the things himself."

The guard was startled, looked up at Dugu Long, and immediately ran back in. After a while, the door opened, and an official walked out with a smile. He saluted and said, "General Dugu, I am the director of the Qingzhou Military Equipment Bureau. I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"

Dugu Long returned the greeting and asked, "Sir, don't you know why I'm here?"

The host looked bewildered: "I really don't know."

"Oh, if that's the case, please ask the host to find Lord Yuwen and I will talk to him."

The organizer looked embarrassed and said, "Ah, this is not easy to handle. Lord Yuwen is out, saying that he is going to prepare gifts for the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. I don't know where to find him."

Dugu Long smiled and said, "Then may I ask, sir, could you please help me check whether the weapons that should have been delivered to the Black Armor Battalion and the Red Cavalry Battalion half a year ago are ready?"

"The weapons for the Black Armor Battalion and the Red Cavalry Battalion? Weren't they delivered before? Why is the general still asking for them?"

Dugu Long said with a smile: "Don't be ridiculous, Master Chief. The Black Armor Battalion has never received any weapons from the Qingzhou Military Equipment Bureau. How can there be any delivery?"

The host said with a serious face: "It was indeed delivered. At that time, the soldiers of the Black Armor Camp came to take it away personally. We have the handover documents!"

Dugu Long's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he asked, "Handover documents? What documents? Who handed them over to you? When did Yuwen Tian leave?"

Seeing that Dugu Long was a little anxious, the chief organizer invited him into the mansion quickly. The group came to the main hall of the Military Equipment Bureau. The chief organizer took out a document from the cabinet and showed it to Dugu Long. Dugu Yu also came over and looked at the black and white words on the paper, which stated that the Black Armor Battalion would receive 2,000 crossbows, 50,000 crossbow arrows, 1,000 sabers, 1,000 spears, and 1,000 sets of specially made black armor made by the Qingzhou Military Equipment Bureau. After counting everything correctly, the handover was completed.

In addition to the seal of the Black Armor Army, there was also the signature of the commander Zhou Buping. There was no mistake about Zhou Buping's crooked handwriting, it was his handwriting! Dugu Long was shocked. Oh no, something big was going to happen! Was the Black Armor Camp going to rebel?

Dugu Long thought of the missing crossbow, and his first reaction was that the Black Armor Camp had been infiltrated by Liu Hong and was rebelling! Dugu Yu stepped forward and took a look at the document, then said, "Brother, don't think too much. Zhou Heizi would never rebel. This must have been done by his deputy general!"

Dugu Yuwen asked the host: "When did Yuwen Tian leave?"

"Lord Yuwen left this morning."

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Then he can't run far. It's not too late for you to chase him now, big brother!"

Dugu Long asked: "Can my brother take care of the rest?"

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "When have I ever disappointed Big Brother?"

Dugu Long nodded heavily, and Dugu Yu said, "Brother, be careful. Yuwen Tian may have private soldiers! Two battalions! Don't be impulsive and don't act stubbornly!"

Dugu Long smiled and said, "Of course. I will leave marks along the way. Please arrange the rest as soon as possible." After that, he clasped his fists in salute, turned around and left.

Everyone's eyes were on Dugu Yu, who saluted the host and said, "Have the Red Cavalry Battalion's weapons been delivered as well?"

The chief nodded and took out a document from the cabinet. Nangong Qi took a look and found that it was indeed the seal of the Red Cavalry Battalion. However, he did not know the person who signed the seal, so he could not tell whether it was true or not. Nangong Qi asked, "How could Liu Hong have such a talent to incite the soldiers of the two battalions to rebel?"

Dugu Yu said seriously, "It's impossible. Neither the Black Armor Battalion nor the Red Cavalry Battalion would leave the camp without permission. I guess Liu Hong just instigated some officers in the two camps to rebel, and then forged the seal and forged the signature."

Nangong Xue asked: "Is Liu Hong so capable? Even if he has this ability, why did Yuwen Tian run away? And what basis do you have to judge that this matter is related to Liu Hong? Why can't it be Yuwen Tian who did it himself?"

Li Yi said: "You know that the Mo family assassin tried to assassinate me before. Why don't you think about how Yuwen Ye is connected to the Mo family? The Yuwen family does support the Mo family, so the middleman is most likely Yuwen Tian. Besides, the crossbow used to assassinate me was lost by the Black Armor Camp. No one would believe that there is no insider in the Black Armor Camp.

From this, we can be sure that someone in the Black Armor Camp was bribed by Liu Hong, and then he and Yuwen Tian embezzled the weapons. Brother Yu just said that Yuwen Tian had private soldiers, which was based on this judgment. "

Dugu Yu nodded and said, "The most urgent thing is to find a way to gather troops and quickly pursue Yuwen Tian. Brother Qi, the closest one is your Nangong family's army, right?"

Nangong Qi thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to mobilize the Dingchen Army in the south?"

Dugu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, Yuwen Tian will definitely flee to Southern Liang. It would be most reasonable for the Dingchen Army in the south to send troops."

Nangong Xue said: "We need cavalry for a quick march. The Dingchen army has only 500 cavalry. If they really run into Yuwen Tian's two battalions, I'm afraid they will be in great danger."

Dugu Yu said: "Five hundred people are enough. We don't need these five hundred people to kill all the people in the two camps. As long as we can stop them, it will be fine."

Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "If this is the case, what are you going to do, Brother Yu?"

Dugu Yu said, "We will split up. Nangong brother and sister, take my family's guards to mobilize the Chen army. First, lead 500 cavalrymen to follow the mark left by my eldest brother. If you find Yuwen Tian's movements, don't engage him. Try to block their way and find a way to delay them. Xiuyuan and I will mobilize the Luyang formation to attack Yuwen Tian with the troops of the two formations."

After listening to Dugu Yu's arrangement, Li Yi said, "I didn't expect Brother Yu to be a military strategist."

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "After all, he is from a military family. It's not surprising that he practices Confucianism, Taoism and military science."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Brother Yu's arrangement is very reasonable, but it still needs to be modified. Brother Nangong and I will go to Dingchen Army to mobilize troops. Miss Nangong and I will lead the cavalry to pursue first, and Brother Qi will lead the Dingchen infantry to pursue. Brother Yu, you can go to Luyang Army alone."

Nangong Xue was puzzled and said, "You are just a scholar. How can you help in the fighting on the battlefield? Bringing you along will only cause more trouble!"

Li Yi said seriously: "There is no time to lose, let's act quickly."

Dugu Yu thought about it and nodded, "Well, that's fine. I'll leave Xiuyuan to you."

Li Yi nodded, then turned around and said to Xiao Ye: "Go back to Qing'an City first and wait for news. Yuwen Ye is dead this time!"

Li Yi asked Nangong Qi to send guards to take Xiao Ye and Nangong Xue's two maids back to Qing'an City first, and then they went their separate ways. Li Yi and the other two rode their horses quickly, and Nangong Qi asked, "Sister Xue and I are both from military families, and we know a little about marching. Why did Xiuyuan have to go with us? Do you also know about marching and fighting?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Although I have never experienced it, I still have some experience in theory, so I can help a little."

Nangong Xue smiled and said, "Just don't cause any more trouble. I can't expect you, the great talent Li, to charge into battle."

Nangong Qi said: "Sister Xue, you underestimate Xiuyuan. Xiuyuan is very skilled. How can an ordinary fourth-rank warrior defeat him?"

Nangong Xue asked in confusion: "Master Li is so skilled? Why didn't I see that? He doesn't have any martial arts skills at all, so where does his skill come from?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "I practice the Buddhist Vajra Divine Art. I don't have any martial arts foundation. It's normal that Miss Nangong can't see it."

Nangong Xue said calmly: "So that's how it is. No wonder that sword felt unusual. I thought it was some Confucian self-cultivation technique, but it turned out to be the Buddhist Vajra Dharma. So, you are really not a weak scholar." Li Yi smiled without saying anything. The three of them rushed for half a day and finally arrived at the Dingchen army formation.

When he arrived at the military camp, Nangong Qi used the gold medal as a command to find the commander-in-chief of the military camp, Sun Yong. In terms of relatives, he was a cousin of the Nangong brothers and sisters, and the relationship was very complicated. To put it simply, he was the brother-in-law of Nangong's side branch.

After the meeting, Nangong Qi explained the whole story, and Sun Yong took out the map and began to analyze: from Qingzhou City to Nanliang, they could not take the official road, so there were only three roads to choose from. One was to go southeast from Qingzhou through Peicheng and Yangcheng to reach the southern border; one was to go directly south from Qingzhou through Jiaocheng to the southern border; the last one was to go southwest through Nancheng, pass Yiyang and cross Jiangcheng to reach the southern border.

Looking at the three routes drawn by Sun Yong, Nangong Qi asked, "Which one do you think Yuwen Tian is most likely to take, brother-in-law?"

Sun Yong pondered for a moment and said, "The least likely route is the last one. The most likely route is the second one, which goes directly to the southern border via Jiaocheng. Although there are many passes on this route, it is relatively easy to travel and the journey is the shortest."

Nangong Xue asked, "Although this route is fast, there are so many passes. How can they possibly get through? The two battalions must have at least 5,000 soldiers."
