After Bu Xihuan left, the royal guards and the palace people hurriedly chased after him, and Li Ben got up.

As soon as he got up, a hand was stretched out in front of him, Li Ben looked up in a daze, and saw that Yuan Xiu had received the holy decree in his hand.

"General!" Li Ben's face was happy.

"General?" The generals of the Northwest Army were puzzled.

"If it is not the will of God, it is also a holy decree? Don't pick it up! Yuan Xiu raised his hand and threw it, the bright yellow scroll flew into the air, the brush fell, the snow covered the handwriting, he didn't look at the holy decree, a fist volley, smashed the discussion and the holy decree a hole, the fist wind shook violently, only to hear a snort, the scroll tore in half, and swept to the ground.

Wan Jun was shocked, and Li Ben's face turned pale.

"Northwest Army, don't negotiate peace!" Yuan Xiu stepped on the half of the remnant and strode away.

The wind roared, the voice was silent, and I didn't know how long it was, and I suddenly heard the voice of a teenager.

"It's okay to negotiate peace, it's just a shame to open the door to a shameful person, and a shame to get home." Twilight spat out poisoned arrows and left after spitting out.

On this day, the saint rode and shot in the Shiguancheng Horse Farm Examination Army, and the competition was not carried out, and the holy decree arrived. The decree of peace was given by the court, and the Yuan Xiangguo has been auxiliary to the government since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, and the will of the peace cannot be sent to the northwest if the Yuan Xiangguo does not allow it.

The general is the son of Yuan Xiangguo, who was guarding the country in the northwest and killing Hulu, but his father advocated peace in the court, and the will went down to the northwest, and the morale of the 300,000 border generals was at a loss for a while. If it is the intention of the saint, the army has already bombed the camp and is angry, I am afraid that even the Wuwei General's Mansion where the saint of Shiguan City temporarily lives can be besieged, but the negotiation of peace is the intention of Yuan Xiangguo, and the officers and men in the army do not know what to do for a while.

Yuan Xiu tore up the holy decree in the horse farm and refused to negotiate peace, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army believed him, but they also knew that the peace envoy in the court lived in Guancheng.

For a time, the atmosphere in the city was tense, and everyone was pressed for peace.

General's Mansion, Study.

The tea cup fell to the ground, the broken sound was harsh, the north wind outside the window called out, covering the crisp sound, and the eight columns of pro-army wore fine armor and went outside the courtyard of the study, the cloak stepped on the snow, and the eyes were sharp like knives.

"Let Li Ben take his people back to the court tomorrow!" In front of Yuan Xiu's window, the broken porcelain of tea fell to the ground.

"What about the peace mission at the back? The general also drove back? Gu Qian asked. Today, the people brought by Li Ben are all people in the palace, he is the only civil official in the team, it is impossible for the court to send only one person to negotiate peace with Wuhu, Li Ben must be the first official, and there are still people behind, I am afraid that he will arrive in Guancheng in a few days.

"Order Lu Da to go to Shiguan City with a military order to guard the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter the pass!"

Yuan Xiu rarely got angry, but today he was really angry, and even the will of the court was torn, Gu Qian had to sigh and said: "The general drove people back like this, and the face of the empress dowager and Xiangguo is afraid that there will be no existence." ”

Yuan Xiu was even more angry when he heard this, and turned around and asked, "The teacher's intention is to let people in?" When people are put into the pass, it hurts the hearts of my soldiers in the northwest, and it hurts the face of my great rejuvenation of the country! This northwest border pass, how many soldiers have buried their bones outside the pass in the past ten years, the desert is a lonely grave, and they are not afraid to cast the border pass with blood! Did the lord of the DPRK ever think about the blood shed by these soldiers for the country? ”

Gu Qian sighed deeply, he has guarded the border all his life, although he is old, his blood is not cold, but compared with the twenty-year-old hairy boy, he has more experience in half his life. Yuan Xiu entered the border pass at the age of fifteen, when there was no Northwest Army, he watched him shake the world in a war, watched him repeatedly perform miraculous feats, watched him personally establish the Northwest Army, and watched him personally lead 300,000 soldiers to build the northwest city defense. After the completion of the fortifications of Guancheng, he fought against Hu Lu in front of him, and then suppressed the horse bandits, and did not return to Beijing for ten years to change the people of the northwest to sleep peacefully at night. This heroic spirit and blood made him see when he was young, but he was different from him, and his background did not allow him to guard the border all his life.

The Gu family is in Gezhou City, hundreds of miles away from Jialan Guancheng, but it is rare to see it several times a year. It's hard to see relatives, and in the past ten years, Yuan Xiu has accompanied him, and if he says something more decent, he treats him as a grandson. His heart is as clear as a whole, like the sky outside the plug, a glance is thousands of miles, too clear, he is not unable to see through the deceit of the court, but he doesn't like it, so he came to the northwest to hide and relax, and it is ten years to hide. But the Yuan family is his home after all, and if there is a family, he must return to it, and hiding is not a way.

"Have you ever thought about why the Holy Lord suddenly had a whim yesterday and asked the horse farm to take the school riding and archery?" Gu Qian no longer persuaded him, and suddenly changed the topic.

Yuan Xiu's face relaxed, and he turned around to look out the window again, "The Holy Lord knows that the court's and will will arrive today." ”

The saint said yesterday that he wanted to take the school riding and archery examination, and this morning the wind and snow were heavy, and he could have waited for the snow to stop and the sky would be clear, but the saint insisted on braving the wind and snow to compete, and he knew that the holy will was not simple. It's just that he couldn't figure it out for a while, and it wasn't until someone from the court came to pass the decree that he understood.

If the saint is in the palace of the general of Wuwei today, and the peace decree is sent down to the northwest, the generals and soldiers in the army will definitely be angry, the saint is in the northwest army, only with 2,000 royal guards, 300,000 soldiers in the army, once the mutiny, 2,000 royal guards can not stop it at all, he has acted absurdly and uninhibited over the years, and the name of the faint monarch is known to the world, even if the explanation is not convincing. Therefore, in the name of riding and archery, the generals and lieutenants of the Holy Lord gathered at the horse farm, and he was also at the horse farm, and when the peace decree was given, he naturally took himself out.

The wisdom of the saint is that he not only took himself out, but also let the generals in the army know that the holy decree is the meaning of the court, that is, the meaning of the Yuan family. The Northwest Army was established by him, and the officers and men in the army had a deep friendship with him, but they had no friendship with the Yuan family.

And today, the saint showed his ability to train horses, and later he was quite sympathetic to the border soldiers. Everyone in the world knows that the saint ascended the throne at a young age, and he has acted absurdly over the years, and the people have said that he has wasted the court.

Three eagles with one stone, the saint has a deep mind!

Gu Qian stroked his beard and said, "That's right, since the general knows the meaning of the saint, he should know the meaning of the court." ”

When Yuan Xiu heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he laughed at himself, "What does it mean?" The teacher is talking about the meaning of the Yuan family, right? ”

He always knew the ambition of his aunt and father, eighteen years ago, the Yuan family seemed to be able to take the country, but in fact, there was still his party in the north of the river, and the sister of He Shanqi, the governor of the Jiangnan Navy, fought with his aunt in the palace, and the He Yuan family had an insoluble feud. At that time, if he seized the throne, Jiangnan would not recognize the Yuan court, and Jiangbei might also have turmoil, so he set up a young emperor and planned for many years. Although he has not read the family letter in these years, but before joining the army, his family has focused on purging Jiangbei and cultivating his own forces, and now he has been in the northwest for ten years, and Jiangbei must have been in the pocket of the Yuan family.

Today, if the saint does not need to think about it, and discusses the peace will, what he loses is the heart of the Northwest Army, the heart of the people of the Northwest, and even the news of peace is spread, and all the people in the world will spit on him, and what he loses will be the heart of the people of the world. The saint has been messing around for so many years, and the people's grievances are deep, and the matter of peace in the northwest is added...... It's a great opportunity to abolish the emperor!

This is the real intention of the Yuan family, his aunt, his father.

"The old man knows that the general doesn't want to see this day, you have no heart to fight for the world, but you are the son of the Yuan family after all. Whether it is the Empress Dowager or Yuan Xiangguo, this country is taken away, and it will be yours in the future. If you don't want it, you should go back to Beijing, and it is not clean to hide in the northwest. The Empress Dowager loves you the most, and Yuan Xiangguo is the only one of your sisters-in-law, who else in this world can stop this matter except you? Gu Qian stroked his beard and said, seeing that Yuan Xiu suddenly turned around, there seemed to be a strange light in his eyes, and he knew that this sentence moved him.

"The same is true for the matter of peace, after the peace envoys of the DPRK and China talked with the Hu people, the Wuhu will also send the peace envoys to Beijing, and it is difficult to say whether they dare to enter the land of our Daxing Beijing. Even if you dare to go, the peace treaty between the DPRK and the Hu people needs to be negotiated and signed between the DPRK and China, and there will be some time. If the general returns to Beijing, first, he can persuade the Empress Dowager and Xiangguo, and second, he can obstruct the matter of peace, which is not much better than worrying about court affairs and family affairs in the northwest? ”

Yuan Xiu was speechless, just in front of the window, looking back at the gray-bearded old man. The old man smiled, his eyes were encouraging, the wind and snow outside the window did not know when it had stopped, the noon sun gradually revealed clouds, the sun fell on the windowsill, and the snow shook people's eyes through the window paper.

Yuan Xiu turned to look at the windowsill, his eyes were brightened by the snow, and after a while, he turned around and said, "Student, thank you for the teacher's explanation!" ”

Gu Qian smiled and said, "Go back!" Now that you are the commander of the Northwest Army, you have a lot of achievements, and you are no longer a young man who left home back then, and you can talk about court affairs and family affairs, and you don't have to hide in the northwest anymore. ”

"Yes, men should be a country, they shouldn't hide and be idle, students have been dull all these years." Yuan Xiudao.

Gu Qian shook his head, if he was dull, there would be no Northwest God of War in the world who would make Wuhu fail to knock for ten years. It's just that he is dedicated to the country, but he was born in the Yuan family, the family and the country are difficult to achieve, and he is the bloody person, and the heart knot is difficult to solve, so he has a heart of escape, and now he can see it.

"There will be some chaos in the army these days, you have to know it." Gu Qian pointed.

"The teacher is reassured that the student knows what to do." Yuan Xiu smiled, the irritability in his heart dissipated, and arrogance appeared between his eyebrows, "The Northwest Army was established by me, and the friendship of life and death for ten years can be so easy to mess up?" ”

Gu Qian nodded with satisfaction, "Okay!" If the coach is not chaotic, the soldiers will not be chaotic. ”

"I want to go back to Beijing, the students have a lot of things to arrange, the teacher will drink tea in the house, and the students will go first." Yuan Xiu waved at Gu Qian, turned around and walked away.

The door of the study closed, and the smile on the old man's face faded, revealing a look of amazement.

Such a son, he also hopes that he will stay in the northwest, blowing the desert wind, guarding the northwest mountain pass, he has heroic ambitions, but not imperial ambitions, persuade him to go back, he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong...... I only hope that Shengjing's Eryu and I don't want to grind this good man.

Gu Qian sighed abruptly, and the sigh stayed in the house and never came out.

In Shiguan City, there are also people in the Zhonglang General's Mansion who sighed.

The man sat beside the warm couch, playing with a knife in his hand, and said, "Qingqing, when will you be able to change this habit?" ”

He pressed the knife under his sleeve during the afternoon break, and he didn't put the knife away knowing that it was him.

Twilight turned over and sat up, looked at Bu Xihuan, and asked, "Are you calling a man or a horse?" ”
