At the end of the year, another heavy snow came unexpectedly, the north wind was howling, the snow was like a tussle, and the whole world became a gray world.

In the big tent, Guo Song boiled a pot of milk tea, there were two leg of mutton roasted in the fire pond, and there were five generals sitting around the fire pond, these five generals were Zhonglang generals, including Liang Wu, Guo Song transferred twenty-five generals from Fengzhou, all of whom were old subordinates who had followed him for many years, and they were subordinates who went to Anxi together that year.

In addition to the fifteen Zhonglang generals and Lang generals who served as the Bashang military camp, the other ten people, Guo Song planned to replace the generals on the Ganzhou side, and the 20,000 troops in Ganzhou must be firmly in their own hands, and changing the generals is the most effective and direct way.

Guo Song was chatting with everyone, "When I practiced martial arts in Baitinghai, Ganzhou, it was also like this in the vast snow, boiling a pot of milk tea, roasting a piece of meat, and Mengzi stood on the cabinet......."

"Governor, where is the fierce son? Why haven't you seen it all this time? Liang Wu interrupted Guo Song's words at an inopportune time.

Guo Song glared at him, and saw that everyone seemed to be very concerned about the situation of the scout general, so he had to say to everyone: "It begs for a daughter-in-law, so it doesn't want my uncle, it lives in Qujiang now, and when the weather is good, it can be seen in the sky above Qujiang." ”

"With such a big snow, it won't starve, right?" Another general asked.

"Of course not!"

Guo Song smiled and continued to explain, "It lives on a big tree in my mansion, at least twenty zhang from the ground, I paid a high price to make a wooden house for it, and the housekeeper sent a bucket of fresh fish to it every day in the rain and snow, its life is better than mine, about ten days ago, I found that it flew out of the wooden house with another goshawk, I knew that it had a new love." ”

Liang Wu scratched his head and smiled: "The main thing is that I haven't seen it for a long time, so I wonder about it." ”

"Don't worry about the general, let's still drink milk tea and eat meat!"

Guo Song poured a cup of milk tea into everyone's teacup, and said with a smile: "This is something from the palace, the best cheese and tea cakes, so I asked everyone to come and try it." ”

"I'll cut the meat!"

Liang Wu volunteered, he was skilled in cutting meat, and his knife skills were accurate, and he cut a full plate of meat for everyone in a moment.

Everyone drank tea and ate meat, let out bursts of hearty laughter from time to time, and enjoyed the warm moment in the blizzard.

………..

It snowed heavily for a day and night, and the next morning the sky cleared, and the blue sky washed like blue, and the earth became a world of snow.

The soldiers ran out of the camp one after another to clear the snow on the martial arts field, and more than 10,000 soldiers were in full swing, and many soldiers secretly had snowball fights, and there was laughter and laughter in the vast field.

Liang Wu followed Guo Song's side, and the two rode horses to patrol and clear the snow.

"The situation in Fengzhou is generally not bad, Guo Shu continues to implement the immigration strategy implemented by the governor at the beginning, and does better, not only the military families have basically gone to Fengzhou, but also the imperial court has also migrated 15,000 households from Guannei, Hedong, and Longyou to Fengzhou and Lingzhou, and is preparing to move another 10,000 households this year, Xue Yantuo's extermination is indeed good news for Shuofang Prefectures, and the only disappointment is probably the party members, who have been trying to take advantage of the chaos to seize Lingzhou."

"How's the vineyard going?" Guo Song asked again.

When Guo Song left Fengzhou, 500 acres of grapes had just been planted and the shelves had just been built, and he cared about the vineyard, mainly because it would be the main source of raw materials for Meishou wine, and it would also be an important source of income for the Fengzhou government, and Guo Song had always been very concerned.

"The vineyard encountered a little twist and turn, that is, insect infestation, I did not expect it in advance, the loss was great, the loss of nearly half of the five hundred acres, I feel that the quality of the grapes is not very good, my uncle said, at least two or three years later, the quality of the grapes will slowly improve, Lingzhou is like this, it took five years to grow high-quality grapes, Dudu, there must be a process, not in a hurry!"

Guo Song nodded, it seemed that a process was needed.

"How is Li Ji now?"

Liang Wu was silent for a moment, "He's a little unsatisfactory?" ”

Guo Song was stunned, "Why?" ”

"His personality is too straight, he often criticizes Guo Shu's lack of discipline, and later annoyed Guo Shu, he is now reappointed as the chief general of the East Surrender City, Guo Shu doesn't go there at all, and I haven't seen him, it is said that he has become a little decadent, and I don't know the specific situation."

Guo Song sighed softly, although Guo Shu is Guo Ziyi's son, he is never willing to live in his shadow, he will definitely clean up his henchmen, he will not do it too obviously, but Li Ji's demotion is the most important part.

"Then who will take Li Ji's place now?"

"I'm afraid the governor can't imagine that it's Zhang Sen, he is very respected by Guo Shu, and he was promoted to the chief general of the Fengzhou Army, in charge of 10,000 troops."

Guo Song is not surprising, Zhang Sen's biggest characteristic is that he is very smart, exquisite, and very good at handling the relationship with his boss, it is reasonable for him to get Guo Shu's respect, it is the same in the army and in the officialdom, like Li Ji's straight temper is easy to suffer a big loss, and Duan Xiushi and himself can tolerate him.

"Governor, do you want to transfer Li Ji over?"

Guo Song shook his head, "Let him suffer a little loss!" It's also a grind for him, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. ”

.........

One morning, the snow on the martial arts arena was cleared, and the soldiers began training in the afternoon, and 10,000 people were divided into ten phalanxes, each practicing sword and marksmanship, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

At this time, Liang Ju'er, the general in charge of duty, hurriedly came to report that the Son of Heaven was here, just outside the camp.

Guo Song was taken aback, and hurriedly led the generals and civil officials to the gate of the camp to greet him.

The Xiliu Camp incident in the Western Han Dynasty was relatively rare, and the Son of Heaven was not allowed to enter the barracks, because you must know that the Son of Heaven was the supreme commander of the army, and it would not make sense to let the supreme commander of the army enter the barracks.

In addition, it is also a kind of misinformation that horses are not allowed to run in the barracks, you must know that a military camp with more than 100,000 people covers a huge area, it is a small city, and the gate is more than ten miles or even dozens of miles away from the big tent of the Chinese army.

Horses are not allowed to run in the barracks, but they are not allowed to run around at will, and they must take special horse paths, and the same is true for horse-drawn carriages, which can enter the barracks, but they must also follow the horse paths.

The gate of the barracks had been opened, and hundreds of horseback guards were waiting outside the gate of the barracks in a wide carriage, and several guards were very impatient, if the Son of Heaven had not allowed them to enter the barracks at will, they would have broken in a long time ago.

At this time, Guo Song came to the camp gate with a group of generals and civil officials, Guo Song turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Weichen Guo Song see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

The curtain of the carriage opened, revealing Li Shi's smiling face, "Governor Guo has worked hard, I have come to visit the army, do you need me to get off the carriage?" ”

"No, Your Majesty can follow Weichen, Weichen will lead the way, and we will follow the road."

Li Shi nodded and instructed the guards, "Strictly follow the rules in the barracks!" ”

Guo Song turned over his horse and slowly led the way in front, the carriage followed Guo Song, followed by a large group of guards, Li Shi saw the soldiers who were training, and immediately praised happily: "I went to several military camps today, only Guo Aiqing's military camp has no snow, and the soldiers are still training, which is rare!" ”

Guo Song bowed and smiled: "Actually, it's as cold as hiding in the big tent, it's better to come out for training, and it's not cold to sweat." ”

"Guo Aiqing is right, if I run over from Chang'an, I will be sweating profusely, and I won't be cold."

Everyone laughed, and at this time, Li Shi suddenly found that more than a dozen big signs were erected on the edge of the martial arts arena, and each big sign had a big character written on it, which was connected together: 'Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime'.

Li Shi pointed to the sign and smiled: "That slogan is very interesting!" ”

"It was written by Weichen, mainly to encourage the soldiers to train more and train hard, and it is still very effective, and the soldiers can recognize this slogan."

"Not bad! Not bad! This slogan is well written, simple and reasonable, and very motivating to the people, and it should be popularized throughout the army. ”

Li Shi praised repeatedly, and said to Lu Qi, a Hanlin scholar who accompanied him: "Write down this slogan, give it to the military department, and let them promote it to the whole army." ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Guo Song noticed that Lu Qi was actually there, it seems that the Son of Heaven still trusts him, it seems that this ruthless Lu traitor will come to the stage of history sooner or later.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the handsome tent, and the two chamberlains helped Li Shi out of the carriage and walked into the handsome tent.

Li Shi smiled slightly: "Is it familiar, I bought it and dedicated it to my father, as for who I bought it from, we know it." ”

The two laughed together, and Guo Song said embarrassedly: "That's because Weichen just came to Chang'an, and he was so poor that he had no choice but to take risks, thanks to the tolerance of the first emperor, he didn't investigate the responsibility of Weichen for poaching." ”

Li Shi sat down, gave Guo Song to sit down, and Li Shi asked, "How is the training of the army now?" ”
