Chapter 361: Arson

After being transferred to Anxi, Gu Qing felt a lot kinder, at least he rarely touched the idea of pitting people. - It doesn't count the Tubo people, after all, it was the Tubo people who made the first move.

In most cases, Gu Qing kills people directly, which is more effective than pit people.

Until today, Gu Qing found that he was going to pit people again.

This time, Pei Zhounan forced him to cheat people.

Shen Tian's acting skills are also remarkable, and without any explicit hints from Gu Qing, Shen Tian immediately saluted Pei Zhounan and handed over the order.

The two generals sang together with each other very tacitly, and immediately roasted Pei Zhounan on the fire.

"Uh, deliver...... Give the order, okay, give the order, General Shen has worked hard. Pei Zhounan was uncomfortable.

Pei Zhounan is a civilian official, and he doesn't understand the etiquette and rules in the army, and he is not used to the atmosphere of gold and iron in the barracks.

Gu Qing smiled and introduced: "General Shen Tian used to be the captain of Guoyi, in the last battle against Tubo, General Shen tried his best to save the overall situation, led his troops to kill the Tuqi Shi Department and the Tubo army, and was set as the first merit, Your Majesty's grace, the day before yesterday Chang'an sent an edict to seal Shen Tian as the right Weiwei general, and give him a goldfish bag, which can be regarded as a four-grade master." ”

It seemed that he said it unintentionally, but Pei Zhounan's face was even more sneering, and his cheeks were hot and painful.

Pei Zhounan is the supervisor of the imperial history and is a seventh-rank official, while Shen Tian is a fourth-rank military general, giving goldfish bags, and the fourth-rank military general handing over orders to the seventh-rank civil officials, how strange it is, inexplicably giving people the impression that civilian officials are domineering and arbitrary in the barracks.

Shen Tian heard Gu Qing introduce himself like this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he coughed dryly twice.

This Hou Ye looked gentle and elegant, and his heart was very bad when he spoke, I didn't expect you to be such a Hou Ye......

Pei Zhounan calmed himself and said: "General Shen's trip to suppress bandits, what are the results?" ”

Shen Tian clenched his fists and said loudly: "Back to Pei Yushi, the last general was ordered to go out of the camp, led the troops and horses of 5,000 to the north, passed through the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate, and traveled to the north of Gongyue City, encountered more than 1,000 bandits, and the scouts have heard the dens and number of bandits clearly?" When the last general was about to lead his troops to exterminate him? The Qiuzi battalion sent Pei Yushi's military order, ordering the last general to immediately lead his troops to withdraw? Will the last general dare not disobey the order? He hurriedly collected his troops and went south, and returned to the camp after five days of rapid marching. ”

Pei Zhounan's eyelids jumped: "Have you heard about the bandits' dens and the number of people?" Why don't you kill them and return to the camp? ”

Shen Tian said with an innocent face: "The last general just said that when he was about to exterminate the bandits?" Suddenly heard Pei Yushi's military order? How could the last general ignore the military order and still suppress the bandits after receiving the military order, which was regarded as disobedience and wanted to lose his head? The last general had to give up in a hurry to suppress the bandits? It's time to return to camp. ”

Pei Zhounan felt that his cheeks hurt even more, an invisible slap was slapped on his face, and he kept saying "Pei Yushi Military Order", which made him very embarrassed, and there was a faint shame of being teased.

No wonder Gu Qing solemnly stated many times in advance? This military order is to be counted on his Pei Zhounan's head, so what happened to be waiting for him here? In the future, I don't know how Gu Qing will write this matter into the song, maybe he will be given a big hat of "arsonist trouble".

Sloppy? I shouldn't have fought with Gu Qing last time.

Pei Zhounan felt a sense of regret in his heart, new arrival? Unclear situation? Unattained people's hearts? I really shouldn't have interfered in the military affairs of the Anxi Army too early, and in the end, I ended up burdening myself.

"General Shen has worked hard, and he has been tired all the way, so hurry back to the tent and rest." Pei Zhounan said dryly.

Shen Tian smiled honestly and said, "The last general is not hard, he marched thousands of miles, and he did not make an inch, and he hoped that Pei Yushi Mo would blame him." ”

Pei Zhounan also smiled dryly: "No, of course not." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "It's still early, according to the rules, after every battle, the generals must be summoned to deduce and review in front of the sand table, since General Shen is not tired, how about taking advantage of the deduction in front of the sand table today?" I also ask Pei Yushi to give me a lot of advice, I heard that Pei Yushi is also familiar with poetry and the art of war in Chang'an, and he is a romantic figure who is both civil and military, and he must be quite proficient in the way of marching and arranging......"

Shen Tian excitedly hugged his fists and said: "The last general is gone, it turns out that Pei Yushi is proficient in the art of war, it seems that the last general must learn from Pei Yushi, and in the future, he should be a disciple of etiquette, and please Pei Yushi to give advice." ”

Pei Zhounan's old face had turned the color of pig liver, and Ai Ai was speechless for a long time.

He is a typical literati, drinking and writing poetry to give a long endowment or something, but the art of war or something, that is humiliating, how can he ever be "proficient in the art of war", he has indeed read a few books of war, and when he goes to the toilet, he reads them at most, at most he is a boring toilet reading, hoping that a person can learn something when he stinks, it is really embarrassing.

Gu Qing and Shen Tian sang together, and in a few words, Pei Zhounan was squeezed to the core.

"Eh, it's not early, you and I might as well deduce the gains and losses another day, Master Hou, the next official will leave first." Pei Zhounan showed timidity and retired in a panic.

Gu Qing politely sent him out of the tent, watching Pei Zhounan's back disappear in a hurry outside the big camp, the smile on Gu Qing's face gradually converged, and he snorted contemptuously in his nostrils.

Shen Tian stood behind Gu Qing and said softly, "Master Hou, what's the situation with this imperial history?" ”

Gu Qing said slowly: "In four words, 'the one who comes is not good'. ”

Shen Tian suddenly nodded and said, "The last general understands, he came to Anxi specifically to target Hou Ye?" ”

The corners of Gu Qing's mouth showed a complicated smile, and he said, "He is targeting the Anxi Jiedu envoy, not me." ”

Shen Tian blinked in confusion, then understood, and nodded solemnly.

Pei Zhounan came to Anxi by order, and it was not a certain person who was restrained, but the power of the Jiedu envoy, and whoever sat in this position would be targeted by him.

"Chang'an and Anxi are thousands of miles apart, it is difficult for monarchs and ministers to see, it is inevitable to be suspicious, Master Hou, the tree is a big wind, we must be cautious in the future." Shen Tian said seriously.

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Well, the recent operation to suppress bandits has stopped first, let's see the situation." In the future, the soldiers will practice in the camp with peace of mind. ”

Then Gu Qing smiled again: "All the five thousand men and horses are back?" Didn't intentionally miss something? ”

Shen Tian said with a smile: "It's still Hou Ye's eyes are like torches, and he can see through the tricks of the last general at a glance, and it is much more comfortable to talk to Hou Ye than to talk to those civil officials." ”

"Tell me how Han Jie conveyed my military orders to you."

"Brother Han sent someone to quickly pass the order, saying that Hou Ye was coerced by the new Pei Yushi, Pei Yushi forced Hou Ye to withdraw the army, and the last general almost blew up when he heard it, and dared to bully the commander on the territory of our Anxi Army, it was too long! So the last general came up with a trick......"

Gu Qing really couldn't help but say, "You wait first, Shen Tian, have you ever read?" If you haven't read it, you can speak more bluntly, without using any rhetorical devices, any 'tricks', or 'tricks', do you think this kind of word is appropriate for yourself? ”

Shen Tian scratched his head: "Did you use the wrong word?" The last general doesn't read much, which is probably what it means. ”

"Then you say, what trick you came up with."

Shen Tian showed a malicious smile and said softly: "The last general left a thousand soldiers and horses in Gongyue City, and only four thousand soldiers and horses followed the last general back to the camp, and the last general was actually sweating when he handed over the order just now, if this Pei Yushi is a more serious person, if he has to count the number of people who return to the camp, the last general will be in big trouble......"

Gu Qing said with a smile: "No, Pei Yushi is a literati and a decent person, and a decent person is the most angry, and he won't count the number of people...... What do you do with a thousand men in the city of Bow Moon? It's the territory of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, so don't get me into trouble. ”

Shen Tian said: "No, the end will be measured." After listening to Brother Han's military order, the last general thought about it, since Pei Yushi liked to give military orders so much, the last general simply satisfied him, leaving a thousand people to make some moves on the Western Regions trade route, so that he could ride a tiger and make it difficult for him to ......"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Pretend to be a bandit to rob, or kill a thief and pretend to be good, treat the corpse of the bandit as the corpse of a caravan, and let Pei Yushi bear the charge of rashly withdrawing the army and arsoning with the bandits?" ”

Shen Tian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Master Hou, you are so bad, the last general likes ...... so much"

Gu Qinghu's body was shocked, but he still smiled and said: "It's a good idea, it's time to teach Pei Yushi a good lesson, let him know the difference between Chang'an and Anxi, you go ahead, I pretend I don't know anything......"

Shen Tian clenched his fists and took his life.

Gu Qing stopped him again and said, "By the way, General Shen has worked hard all the way, and I can't bear to toss you too much, now go to the school field to run ten laps, and do two sets of exercises by the way, and then you can go back to the tent to rest." ”

Shen Tian was stunned: "Master Hou, why?" ”

Gu Qing said calmly: "You praised me for being 'good or bad', I put up with it, and then you said, 'You like it so much', I can't bear this, the goosebumps on my body haven't shaken off yet, be good, go run, and add ten laps if you delay for a while." ”

…………

A few days later, bad news came from the Western Regions Trade Route.

The bandits were again troubled, and robbed and killed the caravan on the trade road, and more than 200 people were killed, all of whom were killed by the bandits, leaving not a single person alive, and the camels, horses, and goods were plundered.

When the news reached Qiuzi City, the merchants in the city became nervous again.

Gu Qing sent a large army to suppress the bandits a few months ago, and tens of thousands of Anxi troops swept through the Western Regions, killing the bandits around the trade route without leaving a chicken and dog.

Unexpectedly, bandits were so rampant, and only a few months later, they revived, robbed and killed caravans again, and the security of the trade routes in the Western Regions fell into turmoil again.

Before the merchants could come to their senses, two days later there was bad news.

This time, the caravan was still looted and killed, and the bandits' actions were heinous, and the entire caravan was slaughtered by hundreds of people, and the corpses were thrown all over the place in the depths of the desert, and the scene was miserable.

The merchants in Qiuzi City finally couldn't sit still, and gathered outside the gate of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion one after another, asking to see Gu Qing, the Jiedu Envoy.

Gu Qing was not in the Jiedu Embassy, he had been living in the camp outside the city, the Jiedu Embassy was surrounded by businessmen in front of the Mansion, the officials were helpless, Li Sima stood up with a round body, and had to accompany Pei Yushi with a smile to come out to deal with the merchants.

After Pei Zhounan learned that the trade route was attacked and plundered by bandits, his mood could be described as extremely complicated.

This gang of bandits really doesn't give face, and they don't know what to do. finally asked Gu Qing to let them go, but in the blink of an eye, two caravans were wiped out in a row, and hundreds of people were killed.

What's even more embarrassing is that it was Pei Zhounan who personally gave the withdrawal order, but now the trade route is not peaceful by bandits, and this hat of "bandit" can't be taken off no matter what.
