Chapter 264: The Big Picture Matters
Anzai Prefecture Protectorate.
Feng Changqing walked into Gao Xianzhi's room with a complicated face, and said softly: "Jie Shuai, Gu Xianhou has caused trouble again......
Gao Xianzhi rubbed his forehead a little irritably, and sighed: "This Gu County Marquis is really ...... What did he do again? ”
Feng Changqing coughed and said: "To be precise, it was his guards who caused trouble, several guards went to the Anxi military camp to play camp prostitutes, but they clashed with a brigade commander, and later Gu Qing transferred two thousand soldiers and horses from the left guard to the Anxi camp to confront our garrison......"
Gao Xianzhi was shocked: "He actually mobilized troops and horses?" Extremely daring! Aren't you afraid of causing a mutiny? ”
Feng Changqing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the last general hasn't finished speaking, although the soldiers and horses have been mobilized, the left guards and horses have not entered the camp, Gu Qing only led a hundred guards into the camp, and it took half an hour to dispose of the matter...... In the eyes of the last general, he mobilized his troops and horses only to deter and calm the situation,"
Gao Xianzhi frowned: "How did he deal with it?" ”
Feng Changqing told Gu Qing what he had done, and after he finished speaking, the two fell into a long silence.
After a while, Gao Xianzhi said with a complicated expression: "This Gu Qing ...... What kind of personality is it? I have to say that he handled this matter very properly, and if it were me, I am afraid it would not have been better than him. ”
Feng Changqing also smiled bitterly: "A weak-crowned young man in his twenties, but his temperament is unpredictable, he looks like a fool, but when he does things seriously, he does it so well, like a scheming old fox......"
Gao Xianzhi pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "The foolish life is fake, the old scheming is true, you can fight a bloody way in the Chang'an court, and at the age of twenty, you will be the marquis of the county, this person is not a simple role, how important is Anxi's position, how could Your Majesty send a foolish bastard to serve as the deputy envoy of Jiedu?" This Gu Qing has real skills, but he pretends to be very good. ”
"More than two years ago, Gu Qing dedicated the Pingnan Zhaoce, after the pacification of the Nanzhao rebellion, since the marshal and Xian Yu Jieshuai below, Gu Qing was designated as the first in the merit book, and the sand table he made is also a clever and wonderful thing, in the first battle of Pingnanzhao, this thing is indispensable, such a talent, if he is just a bastard who is idle days, I don't believe it......"
Feng Changqing hesitated: "Then his deceitful behavior after coming to Anxi is all pretended?" Why is he? ”
Gao Xianzhi sneered: "Maybe it's to beware of me, or maybe it's Your Majesty's instruction, to show weakness, Taoguang to keep obscure, heh, it's really thoughtful and calculating." But judging from his handling of the Anxi Army camp today, what Gu Qing wants more is to accept the hearts of the soldiers of the Anxi Army, and his fairness is to show goodwill to the Anxi Army. ”
Feng Changqing said worriedly: "Jie Shuai, this Gu Qing is like a nail, we have to pull him out." ”
Gao Xianzhi's expression was gloomy, and he sighed: "In the eyes of His Majesty, how can I not be a nail...... The purpose of Gu Qing's coming to Anxi, I guess that most of it is that His Majesty wants to replace me, I am too busy to take care of myself, how to deal with Gu Qing? ”
Feng Changqing hurriedly said: "Are we not doing anything, and let Gu Qing eat away at our Anxi Army step by step?" ”
Gao Xianzhi sneered: "After years of planning, Anxi Jun has a look now, how can he easily give it to others?" If Gu Qing wants to take over Anxi, I have to weigh his catties first, if the catties are not enough, even if I fight for my life, I can't let him waste Anxi, it has nothing to do with personal grievances, I can't hand over the western barrier of Datang to a mediocre and stupid boss, otherwise I will be a sinner of Datang through the ages. ”
…………
Outside the tent of the left guard battalion, on the sand with the heat rolling, a simple wooden shed was built on the spot.
The shed is small and looks ordinary, but the roof has an elaborate mechanism.
A large wooden basin is installed in the roof of the shed, and dozens of small holes are made with nails in the bottom of the basin, and cool water is poured into the basin, and then poured down from the dozens of small holes.
Han Jie and a group of guards stood under the wooden basin, observing the wooden basin with a look of amazement, and let out a sigh of surprise from time to time.
"This thing is quite novel, Hou Ye is really clever enough to create such a wonderful thing......" Han Jie slapped his ass while admiring.
Back then, he was so ostracized by his colleagues that he was too upright and old-fashioned in Zuowei that he almost couldn't get along, and now Han Jie's sycophant comes as soon as he opens his mouth, although the sycophant vocabulary is still not gorgeous enough, but his expression is already very sincere, and this kid has learned badly.
Society is a big dye vat, Gu Qing's side is a soy sauce vat, look at what the children have become, it is conceivable that in the near future, Han Jie's upright BOY will sooner or later fall all the way to the bottom like the stock market in a bear market, and never rebound.
Gu Qing was also very satisfied with his masterpiece, and after observing for a long time, he said with a smile: "You can get a few more as they are, just build a bathhouse next to the handsome tent, and your personal guards can also take turns to take a bath in the future, but you have to solve the water problem yourself, there are people who know how to do wooden work in the personal guards, and quickly build a carriage loaded with water, there is water in the Tarim River not far from here, and send special people to transport water every day." ”
Han Jie and his guards were overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
It's summer, staying in this desert is even more heat-hitting, all day long the body is sweaty and sticky and uncomfortable, if you take a shower three times a day, it's not too comfortable, if you take a bath and then get a pot of chilled grape wine, and all kinds of fresh melons and fruits in the Western Regions, call a few guards to fan next to it, that's sour......
"Hurry up, bring my bathrobe, and besides, pick a fat cold melon that I bought from Hu Shang yesterday and slaughter it......" Gu Qing was like a newly married groom, and the monkey hurriedly stripped off his clothes and got into the wooden shed.
Buckets and buckets of water were poured into the wooden basin, and dozens of small streams of water poured out from the bottom of the basin and poured on Gu Qing's body, Gu Qing rubbed his body, feeling the pleasure of the sweat stains on his body being washed away in an instant, and raised his head and couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction.
What is missing at this time?
Lacking a strong man in the Northeast wearing big pants, he roared in a loud voice, "Does the boss want to rub his back?" ”
Gu Qing shouted back again: "Come on, rub red wine and milk!" ”
That's what feelings are called.
Gu Qing rubbed it, the corners of his eyes were moist, and his heart was inexplicably hit with a nostalgia of his previous life, sour and astringent, helpless like a child lost at a strange intersection.
After being rubbed by a strong man, he put on a bathrobe and went to the leisure department on the second floor, and called a soft girl for a ninety-minute Thai massage, and the corners of Gu Qing's eyes became even moister.
It was one of the few precious memories in his two lives that he had close contact with his sister's slender jade hands.
Gu Qing stood under the water column in a daze, as if entering a colorful tunnel across time and space, as if he had entered a demonic barrier, and for a while he couldn't tell where he was, only the nostalgia that was accumulating more and more in his heart lingered in his heart.
It wasn't until Zhang Huaiyu's cold and moving beautiful eyes flashed in his mind that Gu Qing finally regained his clarity.
As it is said in the hypocritical literature, he can never go back.
There are already people and things that cannot be separated here, compared to the lack of relatives and no reason in his previous life, like a lonely wolf walking in the cruel and cold jungle, Gu Qing prefers here.
There's temperature here, and there's someone who wants to spend her life with her.
When Gao Xianzhi took the initiative to visit Gu Qing in the Zuowei camp, Gu Qing was wearing a bathrobe cut of extremely luxurious light silk, stretching his waist and walking out of the wooden shed with a comfortable face.
Gao Xianzhi sat in the handsome tent and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Gu Qing's style.
This guy ...... Singing a big show? What's you're wearing? Like a robe without a girdle at the waist, his hair is draped loosely over his shoulders, just like a famous man of the Wei and Jin dynasties who came out of the history books, full of wild and uninhibited charm.
Gao Xianzhi quickly felt relieved when he thought of Gu Qing's thunderous poetic name in Chang'an.
It seems that Gu Qing at this moment is his true face, he is still a literati in his bones after all, with the prodigal and chic temperament of a literati, but he also has the so-called character of disobedience to the rules.
"Lao Jieshuai has been waiting for a long time, and the last general will be rude." Gu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
Gao Xianzhi smiled: "It's okay, looking at Brother Gu Xian's appearance, it seems that he has just bathed?" ”
Gu Qing said with a smile: "The desert is too hot, and my body is very uncomfortable, I can't wait to wash it ten times a day, and the festival commander smiled." ”
Gao Xianzhi nodded quite understandingly: "Yes, the climate here is really uncomfortable, but it's a pity that the foolish brother is a rough man, not as delicate as the virtuous brother, and he has been in Anxi for a long time, and it doesn't hurt if he doesn't bathe for half a month, hehe." ”
Gu Qing's heart immediately swelled with a deep disgust.
In such a hot place, I didn't take a bath for half a month, and I was embarrassed to say it as an honor and shamelessly......
The aura of a famous general instantly weakened by three points in Gu Qing's heart, tsk, such a sloppy celebrity, if he is rubbed by a strong man, the dirt rubbed out must make people feel a sense of accomplishment, just like a woman naturally likes to squeeze pimples for her boyfriend......
"The marshal personally deigned to come, why don't you take you to see the drills of the left guard and horses?"
Gao Xianzhi shook his head: "When the foolish brother entered the camp just now, he had already walked around the barracks, and most of the soldiers' military appearances were already clear, so there was no need to look at them anymore." ”
Gu Qing smiled: "Is the festival commander still satisfied?" ”
Gao Xianzhi nodded solemnly: "It is worthy of being the elite division of the garrison palace, if this army is on the north bank of the Tarim River, crossing the river can be a surprise soldier, directly attacking the stone fort of the Tubo thief, and it can defeat the enemy for hundreds of miles in three days." ”
Gu Qing said seriously: "If there is a war ahead, the commander of the left guard can be dispatched. ”
A complicated light flashed in Gao Xianzhi's eyes: "If there is a loss, don't you feel distressed?" ”
"I feel distressed, but the national war is important, and the overall situation of Anxi is important." Smiling slightly, Gu Qing looked directly into Gao Xianzhi's eyes and said softly: "Jie Shuai may not know me very well, although I have the imperial order, I can also distinguish which is more important, from my personal point of view, I have a lot of respect and respect for Jie Shuai." ”
"The marshal actually doesn't have to test me, now the Tibetan thieves are eyeing the side of the couch, the enemy is current, you and I can't tolerate mutual suspicion and vigilance, for the day to come, you must defend the territory for the country, and insult the outside of the country, and the internal fighting can only be internal friction, so that the relatives are painful, and the enemies are fast."
