[A chapter was missed this afternoon.,I just found out.,I'm so sorry everyone!] 】

=====

The official camp is also recruiting scribes and teaching assistants, the first batch of more than 300 scholars are taking the exam, Guo Song met Meng Jiao at the gate of the big tent, Meng Jiao is no longer the poor and sour talent in the past, he is now the ninth official recognized by the imperial court, Dr. Ganzhou, and at the same time served as the school and government of Hexi Jiedu Mansion.

He was wearing an official uniform, his face was white, and he had a half-foot long beard, which was quite a bit of the majesty of a magistrate.

Seeing Guo Song coming, Meng Jiao hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "See the envoy!" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly and asked, "Has the exam started?" ”

"Returning to the envoy, it has begun, a total of 352 scholars have signed up for the first batch, and the second batch of scholars have signed up for the afternoon exam, it is estimated that there are more than 400 people, and the next batch of exams will be over tomorrow."

Guo Song looked inside the big tent, which was full of scholars for the exam, and everyone was engrossed in writing silently, only hearing the rustling of the pen.

Meng Jiao said in a low voice: "There is only one of the big tents here, and there are a total of ten big tents for exams. ”

Guo Song inspected the examination room one by one, and was about to return to the city, as soon as he walked out of the refugee camp, he heard a burst of cheers from the people, only to see that the tall and burly young man just now was rushing back, it was just running wildly, and he was carrying five spears on his shoulders, Guo Song was really surprised, it was only a quarter of an hour and not long ago! He actually ran back with five spears on his shoulder.

There were still many generals standing at the end of the line, and they specially selected outstanding recruited soldiers, at this time, Li Bing pulled the young man just now in front of Guo Song, and said excitedly: "I found an excellent soldier today. ”

Guo Song looked at the young man and saw that he was at least one meter eighty-five tall, extremely strong, and his eyes were resolute, so Guo Song asked, "You used to be from the Longyou Army?" ”

The young man knelt down on one knee and said: "Returning to the envoy king, the lowly king Wuning, who was originally the commander of the Lintao army, was tolerated by the envoy, and returned to his hometown to serve his mother, wife and children. ”

"Why are you going to join the army again?"

"It was my mother who ordered me to join the army to repay the Hexi Army for saving my life."

"And what about your mother?"

"There is also a wife and a pair of young children in the lowly family, and the lowly is in the army, and there is money to support them."

Guo Song nodded and said to Li Bing: "You can continue to appoint him as the brigade commander and earn rewards for his merits!" ”

Although this young man performed well, but only his physique is good, as an excellent soldier, it is not enough to have a physique, but also to fight bravely, but also to have a brain, it depends on his future performance, it is too early to say.

.........

Two days later, all 30,000 recruits were recruited, more than half of them had been in the army, and the soldiers began to distribute armor and weapons, and many of the soldiers of the Hexi Army who performed well were promoted one after another, and were promoted to the team leader or brigade commander of the new army, and the brigade commander was also promoted to captain, and the captain was promoted to Lang general, and Lang General was promoted to Zhonglang general, and the total strength of the Hexi Army reached 60,000 for the first time, and six old Zhonglang generals were also promoted to soldiers and horses.

Strict training for recruits began for a month, and the formation of the regimental training of the refugees continued, and the regimental training was militia soldiers, half soldiers and half farmers, and all men under the age of 40 must participate, and they not only had to carry out military training, but also to reclaim farmland, take soil and burn bricks, and build county towns and houses.

At this time, Guo Song finally waited for the news of the Tubo army.

Rushing back to deliver the information was a scout brigade commander, who came from Dadou Bagu and sent the details of the Longyou Tubo army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Guo Song stood in front of a huge map of Longyou, and Zhang Yuanzhi, who had just been promoted to scout captain, was telling Guo Song about the preparations for war in Tubo.

"Tubo does not seem to have any signs of attacking Hexi at present, the main reason is that an army of 20,000 people from Chang'an has rushed to Qinzhou, and the main general will be Yuanzhou to stay behind Zhang Feng."

Guo Song still has a little impression of this Zhang Feng, who was garrisoned by Xiao Pass back then, and later led 10,000 Yuanzhou troops to serve Zhu Zhu, and was named the general of the Left Guard, but he was a person who could lead troops to fight.

"Where is the main force in Tibet now?" Guo Song asked again.

"Now the main force of Tubo is in two places, one is in Shanzhou City, there are about 10,000 troops, and the other is in Longxi County, Weizhou, with about 7,000 people, confronting the 20,000 Tang troops from Chang'an."

"Where's Shang Jiezan?" Guo Song asked.

"It seems that he was recalled to Tibet by Zampu, and the two generals led these two armies."

Guo Song pondered for a moment and asked, "Then there is no Tubo army in Lanzhou?" ”

"Returning to the envoy, there are 1,000 Tubo troops stationed in Jincheng County, but there are 3,500 people in each prefecture."

Guo Song looked at Zhang Yun's letter again, in which Zhang Yun believed that the Tubo army was insufficient and there was no sign of attacking Hexi for the time being, and judging from their current movements, Zhang Yun was more inclined to Tubo and wanted to occupy Longyou for a long time.

"What is the situation of the wheat in Longyou now?"

"Humble all the way over, there are large wheat fields all over Longyou, and it is estimated that in half a month, the wheat will be ripe."

Guo Song took a few steps and said to Du Siye: "You go and invite Pan Changshi quickly!" ”

Du Siye hurriedly went, and Zhang Qianyi said with a smile on the side: "It seems that the next target of the envoy is not the Tubo army, but the wheat field." ”

Guo Song nodded and said: "The people take food as the sky, how can I give up the wheat in Longyou to the Tubo people?" ”

After a while, Pan Liao hurriedly came, bowed down and said, "The envoy is looking for me?" ”

Guo Song smiled and asked, "How far has the group training been organized?" ”

"All 80,000 young men have been registered, and then it will be compiled, and it will take about ten days to complete all of them."

Guo Song immediately said: "Now that the establishment is temporarily stopped, the 80,000 regiments of training soldiers and recruits will go to Lanzhou to grab wheat, you can go back and organize a group of women to make dry food, and set off for Lanzhou early the day after tomorrow." ”

"Then you have to prepare a cart and a camel."

"How many carts are in stock?"

"There are 6,000 carts and 5,000 camels, and you can choose a group of healthy mules to pull the carts."

"I asked Yu Xude to prepare the means of transport, and you go to organize women and regimental training."

"Humble resignation!"

Guo Song switched the task, and the entire Jiedu Mansion and the army in Hexi changed the goal of defending against the invasion of Tubo to go to Longyou to grab wheat, and Guo Song immediately arranged for the matter of staying behind.

Two days later, an army of 80,000 people drove 5,000 camels, 6,000 carts, and tens of thousands of donkeys and mules to Lanzhou.

In addition to the 80,000 wheat cutting army, Guo Song also personally led the 15,000 Hexi Army as an escort.

Lanzhou wheat fields are mainly distributed on both sides of the Yellow River in Jincheng County, as well as the Hehuang Valley in the west, the Hehuang Valley and Shanzhou are connected together, Guo Song's heart is like a mirror, I am afraid that he and Shanzhou's 10,000 Tubo army will have an inevitable battle for food.

.........

Five days later, the wheat grabbing army arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River in Jincheng County, and there were also large wheat fields on the north bank of the Yellow River, hundreds of thousands of acres.

On a hill on the north bank of the hill built a pass, called Jincheng Pass, the Yellow River wharf is under the Jincheng Pass, the ancient Silk Road came from the west of the river, through this Jincheng Pass, cross the river to the opposite bank of Jincheng County.

Guo Song stood on the pass, looking at the county city wall in the distance, and on the wharf, thousands of Tang soldiers were preparing to cross the river on large rafts.

The scout's intelligence showed that there were also 1,000 Tibetan soldiers in Jinchengguan, but there was no trace of them on the south bank, and Guo Song suspected that these 1,000 soldiers were also busy harvesting wheat.

Li Bing rode a horse and galloped over and said, "Envoy, the raft for crossing the river is ready!"

Guo Song nodded, "First go over two thousand contradictory soldiers, and then cross the cavalry after occupying the south bank!" ”

"Obey!"

Li Bing rushed back to deploy to cross the river, and a group of contradictory soldiers got on the raft and began to paddle towards the opposite bank.

When the first team of contradictory soldiers landed on the south bank, but never saw the Tubo army appear, which made Guo Song breathe a sigh of relief, at this time, an eagle circled in the sky, retracted its wings and fell, and stood firmly on Guo Song's shoulders.

Guo Song stroked the eagle's back and said with a smile: "I didn't show up when I needed you, and now I have a weak heart and come over?" ”

Some time ago, when Guo Song went to Dadou Bagu, Mengzi was not in Zhangye, and he didn't know where this kid had gone, he only returned to Zhangye City not long ago, and Guo Song didn't call it this time, but he himself followed honestly.

"Go ahead! Go to the west to patrol the outpost, and if a large army of military horses appears, notify me at once. ”

Guo Song pointed to the Hehuang Valley in the west and drew a circle in the air, and Mengzi understood what the master meant, and immediately rose into the air, circled twice in the air, and flew towards the Hehuang Valley in the west.
