In good conscience, the food cooked by Huangfu Sisi actually tastes fair and not delicious, but it is absolutely poisonous, and it is a bit poisonous to feed the dog.

But Gu Qing's taste has always been tricky, no matter what kind of environment he is in, the most particular thing is food, Huangfu Sisi's cooking skills, he really can't look down on it, in his eyes, Huangfu Sisi's meals are only suitable for feeding dogs, including but not limited to single dogs.

Gu Qing is not a single dog, he is a single aristocrat, a veritable diamond king.

The words were very polite, and the guards stood at the door of the handsome tent a little confused, and looked at Han Jie for help, trying to confirm whether Hou Ye was joking, and it was really difficult to open his mouth to a charming girl with such poisonous words.

Han Jie sighed and waved his hand at the guard, to the effect that he replied to the female shopkeeper according to Hou Ye's original words, and Han Jie had gradually understood Gu Qing's steel attributes.

"Master Hou, after all, that female shopkeeper has a lot of intentions for you, why do you want to refuse her thousands of miles away?" Han Jie sighed.

Gu Qing frowned: "Which eye do you see that she is interested in me?" If you are too blind, you can pick it out and donate it to people in need, the food she makes is so unpalatable, it is clearly deliberate, and it is impossible for a normal person to cook so unpalatable. ”

Han Jie smiled bitterly: "Cooking depends on talent, maybe she doesn't have the talent to cook in the first place, it doesn't matter if she has any intention for you, isn't it unworthy of liking you if she can't eat food?" ”

Gu Qing said slowly: "Theoretically, yes. Cooking is a major flaw, and if I follow my criteria for mate selection, this flaw alone is enough to deduct her negative points. ”

Han Jie couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the two ladies of the Zhang family cook deliciously?" ”

Gu Qing was stagnant, Zhang Huaijin's craftsmanship at most helped him add some charcoal during the barbecue, as for Zhang Huaiyu, her craftsmanship was even more shocking, not only unpalatable, but also costly to the kitchen.

According to Gu Qing's mate selection criteria, the two eldest ladies of the Zhang family will probably not even be able to enter the first round of auditions, and at most they will only pay an application fee.

"Uh, no...... It's not the same. Gu Qing looked at him in embarrassment, and pointed to the sky in surprise: "Huh? What is that in the sky? It's so dazzling ......."

Han Jie said helplessly: "That's the sun...... So, are the two ladies of the Zhang family delicious when cooking? ”

Gu Qing couldn't escape this topic, so he had to sigh: "It's not a question of whether it's delicious or not, but their fists will make me say something with a bad conscience at any time, and if it's not delicious, it must be delicious......"

Han Jie suddenly looked at him sympathetically: "I see, it's ......"

Gu Qing said in a deep voice: "Men who have had life experience understand that the essence of their wife's cooking is to satisfy the sense of ritual between husband and wife, whether it is delicious or not is not the point, the point is to praise her, no matter how unpalatable she is, you have to praise her, understand this truth, men can avoid 99% of quarrels and troubles in this life, and if you want to be quiet in life, you must pay the price of ignorance of conscience." Sao Nian, you are still too young. ”

Han Jie was stunned: "The last general has known Hou Ye for so long, and it is the first time I have heard Hou Ye say such a reasonable thing, admire!" The last general was taught. ”

Gu Qing smiled reservedly: "The connotation of a man does not need to be taken out to outsiders all the time, superficial showing off cannot be called 'connotation', the connotation is buried in the heart, and he can deal with anything in life calmly, and can calmly use his life experience to solve it and explain it." ”

Han Jie nodded vigorously, and then said puzzledly: "The strange thing about the last general is that Hou Ye is obviously a woman who has never been close to her...... Well, commonly known as 'virgins', why are they so familiar with the way couples get along, and they are full of insight. ”

"I once ...... in a literary masterpiece called "Bosom Friend"" Gu Qing suddenly reacted, and his face suddenly became cloudy: "Are you laughing at me?" Han Jie, you've been getting more and more floating lately. ”

Han Jie hurriedly lowered his head: "The last general will not dare, the last general will lose his words." ”

"Go to the school field to run ten laps, and then do two sets of drill processes, if you can't finish it, you are not allowed to eat today, this is the military order of this commander, go quickly." Gu Qing said expressionlessly.

Han Jie said sadly: "Master Hou, the last general is wrong......

Gu Qing didn't raise his eyebrows: "Go quickly, do you understand the military order?" ”

…………

Review is a habit that Gu Qing developed in his previous life, and it is a good habit.

Every time he encounters a major event, after solving it, Gu Qing habitually convenes the team to review, re-discuss every detail and step when dealing with this matter, summarize lessons from it, and take out the wrong steps and decisions separately to discuss with his subordinates repeatedly, and then remind himself and his subordinates not to make the same mistake next time.

Anxi victory, annihilating more than 20,000 troops in Tibet, such a big event Gu Qing has to review, the first time to command an army of more than 10,000 people to fight, it is also a new field for Gu Qing, he won this one by luck, there are too many things that need to be summarized.

The drums gathered the generals, and several generals of the Zuo Wei and the Khotanese army gathered in Gu Qing's tent.

In the center of the tent is a huge sand table, on which small red and white flags are used to mark in detail the deployment and route of the enemy's and our troops, as well as the offensive posture of the four ambushes of our own after the ambush was launched at that time.

The review meeting has been going on for three days, and many lessons and lessons have been summed up by the generals one by one from the tireless review, and a scribe sitting next to him is writing hard to write down the experience summed up by everyone on paper.

The generals were very surprised by Gu Qing's post-war review mode, they were very excited at first, and they kept talking, and then Gu Qing reviewed from the beginning again and again, and the generals wanted to say everything, and their stomachs were empty and they couldn't find anything to say, Gu Qing still refused to let them go, in short, continue to review, and after the review and summary, they will carry out a series of sand table military exercises to restore the offensive and defensive situation on the battlefield at that time, and separate the enemy and us to re-conduct ambush encounters according to their respective strategic ideas.

The process was very cumbersome, the generals were tossed by Gu Qing and miserable, the ordinary soldiers outside practiced as usual, and even Gu Qing increased the amount of training, and the ordinary soldiers were also tired and miserable.

This is Gu Qing's style of leading troops, governing the army strictly and rigorously, but with a little human touch. The decision-making level in the army aims to make zero mistakes, and some small mistakes that do not affect the overall situation are allowed to be made during the mutual run-in between the commanders and generals, until after the run-in, the commander and the generals have reached a tacit understanding, and it is an efficient and invincible team.

"The ambushes on the north and south sides came out too early, and did not fully play the effect of attacking their unpreparedness, if General Chang's ambush soldiers saw the signal of Hou Ye, they would first kill it and attack the enemy's forward, and the enemy's forward army would take the opportunity to kill the ambush soldiers on both sides of the north and south of Chang after he completed a charge, and then hit the Chinese army in Tubo, at that time, the opponent's army was in turmoil, and then killed two ambushes, maybe they couldn't even put out a defensive position." A general pointed to the center of the ambush circle on the sand table.

Shen Tian lowered his head and said ashamedly: "The last general failed to block the enemy's rear route according to the agreement, resulting in the enemy's morale not being disturbed, and he actually had the power to counterattack, the biggest mistake in this battle is the ...... caused by the last general."

Gu Qing waved his hand: "It's not about who to confess now, let's discuss the gains and losses of this battle, and we won't make the same mistake next time." Besides, General Shen's failure to cut off the enemy's rear route as agreed was purely an accident, and no one expected that he would encounter a ragtag army near Qiuzi City, and it was not your fault. ”

After a pause, Gu Qing suddenly asked, "I heard that the ragtag army left a living mouth, have you interrogated it?" Why did they appear near Qiuzi City, and it was so coincidental that they appeared at the juncture of the battle between the two armies of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. ”

Shen Tian said: "I interrogated the remnants of a turbulent cavalry, he said that the scouts of this ragtag army had been following the Anxi army as early as after the capture of Khotan, and saw the Anxi garrison of Qiuzi pulling out the camp and marching eastward, and after walking for two days, they camped by the Chihe River, they have been waiting patiently until we divided the troops with Gao Jieshuai, Gao Jieshuai led the troops to Yanqi City, let's go back to Qiuci City, after the miscellaneous army discussed, it was decided to stay far behind us, trying to sneak attack Qiuci......"

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and said a little angrily: "That group of people have big brains? There is a debtor and a master, Tuqi Shi and Shi Guo were all destroyed by Gao Jieshuai, they don't want to take revenge on Gao Jieshuai, why do they come to find my bad luck? ”

Shen Tian smiled bitterly: "That remnant said that Gao Jieshuai is good at destroying the country, they want to return the retribution to others, they also want to destroy my Tang Dynasty, even if they can't destroy the country, they also want to destroy our capital protection mansion, and the Anxi capital protection mansion is just in Qiuzi, their target is not a certain person, but the Anxi capital protection mansion." ”

Gu Qing was speechless, and there was a sense of grief and indignation in his heart.

The logic of that gang of remnants was not only clear, but also very touching, and Gu Qing was speechless to refute it.

Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing.

Although Shen Tianyi delayed the fighter plane and failed to block the back road of the Tubo army in time, they luckily encountered this motley army and strangled the bud that had just emerged in the cradle in time, I have to say that this is more beneficial than disadvantageous.

Otherwise, even if the Tubo army was perfectly annihilated, but after the big victory, the motley army took advantage of the fatigue and laziness of the soldiers after the battle, and suddenly attacked Qiuci City, and the final result is difficult to say, maybe Gu Qing will lose Qiuci under his carelessness, which will be a big bad thing for Gu Qing, not to mention how Li Longji of Chang'an will react, Gu Qing, a group of soldiers of the left guard, will not be able to serve the public in front of them.

The majesty of the commander in an army is not as simple as loving soldiers and sharing weal and woe, the soldiers have countless pairs of eyes staring at him, what they want is that the commander can lead them to win the battle, and exchange the minimum price for the greatest victory, if Gu Qing, the marquis who commanded the battle for the first time, loses Qiuzi City, the soldiers below will definitely look down on him in their hearts if they don't say anything, and they will become the worst soldiers Gu Qing has ever led in the future.

And if this motley army invades Qiuzi City to kill people and set fires, what kind of miserable situation will be for the people in the city, Gu Qing can't think about it.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn't help but pat Shen Tian on the shoulder and sighed: "Although I shouldn't say that, I still have to say that it's a good thing that you met that ragtag army, although there are sacrifices, but it's worth it." You've saved the city of Guizi a big problem. ”

Shen Tian said ashamedly: "Master Hou praised it falsely. ”

"It's not a false compliment, it's serious, I have discussed it with all the generals, and everyone agrees that you Shen Tian is the first merit in this battle, please send someone to Chang'an with the prisoners of war, General Shen, wait for Your Majesty's reward."

Shen Tian showed a look of emotion, and bowed down and hugged his fists: "The last general, Xie Houye, thank the generals." ”

Shen Tian was really moved, there are actually factions in the army, the soldiers under Gu Qing's command are all the soldiers and horses of the Chang'an Left Guard, and his Shen Tian is the defeated army of Khotan that was collected halfway, regardless of status or faction, the Khotanese army seems to be a head short of the Left Guard.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qing didn't care about the faction at all, he only talked about military merits realistically, and he was able to be impartial, fair and just in front of his generals, Shen Tian was really surprised, and at the same time, he admired Gu Qing more and more, such a boss is worthy of his loyal follow.

Gu Qing Zhengse said: "From now on, there is no difference between the left guard and the Khotanese army under my command, everyone is the Anxi army, I won't say anything nonsense like defending the land and resisting the enemy, just say one word, you sacrifice your life and death to kill the enemy, I will not treat you badly, the future you have won with your own hands, I will never show favoritism, never take the merits and cheat, if I don't do justice enough one day, you feel wronged, you can come to me to slap the table and scold your mother, I will never refute and argue." ”

When the generals heard this, they were moved to bow and salute: "Lord Hou is fair and selfless, and the general will thank you at the end." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Okay, it's all my own family, no need to be polite, how many times you thank me, I haven't rewarded you, if you want to reward money, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy yourself." ”

The generals laughed.

Gu Qing sighed: "This review can see that we were still a little hasty when we launched the ambush, and when the enemy army was in chaos, we also messed up after launching two rounds of charges, this is a problem of governing the army, the generals will be more strict with the soldiers in the future, and they will be strict with them on weekdays, and they will avoid a lot of unnecessary casualties on the battlefield, which is for their good." ”

The generals clenched their fists: "Yes." ”

"Also, the combat power of our army is also a problem, I believe you can also see that after our army launched a charge, the lethality to the enemy is not large enough, and the damage to the enemy in a few rounds of charges is too small, and the effect is very small, this problem also needs to be solved now, huh...... I heard that our Datang should have a legendary killer ......"

The generals looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of "big killer".

Gu Qing saw that everyone was puzzled, and couldn't help but be curious: "Don't we have a Mo Dao?" Mo Dao Team, Mo Dao Battalion or something, I heard that that thing dances without leaking, it is simply a meat grinding machine on the battlefield, whoever touches it will die, I have been here for so many days, why have I never seen Mo Dao? ”

Shen Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Hou, the last general knows about the Mo Dao team, and there is indeed a Mo Dao team in the Anxi army......

Gu Qing was overjoyed: "Where is it?" Tell me quickly. ”

"In Shule Town, the Governor's Mansion of Shule."

Shule Town is also one of the four towns of Anxi, bordering the Great Food Empire, and the main object of prevention is also Big Food, which is far away from Qiuzi City, so there are few soldiers and horses mobilized to and fro, and it is almost independent of the existence of the four towns of Anxi, so Gu Qing is quite unfamiliar with Shule.

"The Modao team is in Shule Town? How many people are there? ”

Shen Tian said: "The recruitment of soldiers by the Modao team is too harsh, and it is necessary to choose people with great height and strength and quick reaction to enter, so although our four towns in Anxi are the most important defense line in the west of the Tang Dynasty, there are not many people in the Modao team, about more than 300 people, and it costs a lot of money and food to support a Modao team. ”

Gu Qing said happily: "The problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, it is not aimed at anyone, to put it mildly, when it comes to the means of making money, everyone here is happy......"

The generals smiled bitterly, this Hou Ye is sometimes kind, sometimes stern, all very good, the only thing is that sometimes he can't understand what he says, and some new words often pop out of his mouth, what is this so-called "Lese"? Doesn't sound like a good word......

"I'm sure you all heard it, that's right, I was praising you just now, you don't have to be presumptuous...... General Shen, the matter of the Mo Dao team, what is the huge amount of money spent? ”

Shen Tian thought for a while and said: "The main thing is to eat and use, the Mo knife team is tall and strong, and the amount of food is also large, and because of the Mo knife of more than 20 catties, once it is launched, it cannot be stopped, and it takes strength, so the soldiers of the Mo knife team must eat meat at every meal, a Mo knife team of 300 people, eat more than 20 sheep every day, every day, can not be stopped, Anxi Protectorate takes the imperial court to allocate money, where can I afford to raise ......"

"Besides, the Mo knife they use is different from the horizontal knife barrier knife used by our ordinary soldiers, the Mo knife is made of the best material pig iron quenched hundreds of times, and it takes countless craftsmen and countless pig iron to create a Mo knife, which is also a big expenditure, and the financial and material resources of the four towns of Anxi can only afford to raise a Mo knife team of three hundred people, but the Mo knife team cannot be easily mobilized, they must stick to Shule Town to prevent the big food in the west."

Gu Qing was a little regretful and a little unwilling after hearing this.

In the history books of his previous life, he had heard of the power of the Mo Knife team, if there was a Mo Knife team in an army, sometimes it could even turn the whole battle around, once the Mo Knife was launched, it was a machine that could grind anyone and everything in the world, the so-called "like a wall blocked, people and horses were shattered", combat power and lethality can be described as the best in the world.

Such a sharp class, for Gu Qing, if he had to abolish it because he had no money, it would be ridiculous.

Can a lack of money be a problem? Others can point their noses and scold Gu Qing for not being able to fight, Gu Qing admits it and endures it, but if others point to his nose and scold him for not being able to make money, then he must turn his face.

Gu Qing held back the excitement in his heart and asked cautiously tentatively, "What if...... If money is not an issue, can the Modao team expand? ”

Shen Tian was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It can be expanded, but it is very limited." If you don't consider money at all, the selection of people is also a problem, the entire Anxi military strength, there are not many tall and strong people, the Modao team must choose one in a hundred, the three hundred Modao team in Shule Town took several years to get together, originally five hundred, the year before last, Gao Jieshuai fought with Da Shi, and lost two hundred, General Li was so distressed that he secretly cried in the barracks for several days......"

Gu Qing blinked and said, "Who is General Li?" ”

"Oh, he is the military envoy of Shule Town, the official worships the right Jinwu general, during the battle of Talas, he was promoted to the envoy of Shule Town because of his meritorious service in blocking the enemy, and now he is being ordered to defend Shule Town, this time he did not use the soldiers and horses of Shule Town, so the Hou Ye has never seen him."

"You've been introduced for a long time, and you haven't said what his name is."

Shen Tian smiled: "It was the last general's negligence, General Li's name is Li Siye, seven feet tall, burly and powerful, especially good at Mo Dao, proficient in Mo Dao tactics and drills, and the Mo Dao team in Shule Town was trained by General Li himself." ”

Gu Qing blinked, and Li Siye ...... What a familiar name.

Anyone who hears a familiar name must be a famous general who has left a name in the history books, and he must come to the bowl.

"This Li Siye belongs to me! Transfer him to Qiuzi right away! Gu Qing shouted.
