Chapter 238: Lingzhou takes office
The autumn of Lingzhou is also a very beautiful season, everywhere is the endless yellow and clear wheat waves, full of the joy of harvest, the city is full of melons and fruits, the huge melons are like white jade, and the crystal grapes are like bunches of colorful agate.
In the past few days, Shuofang Jiedu has made Duan Xiushi extremely busy, since the imperial court has enriched 20,000 troops to Shuofang Jiedu Mansion, the strength of Shuofang Jiedu Mansion has suddenly reached 26,000 people, an increase of more than three times, Duan Xiushi has been so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, and he does not even have time to catch his breath.
Some time ago, he got a report from the Ministry of War, Guo Song was going to come to Shuofang to serve as the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and received the soldiers and horses of the three towns of the city, which made Duan Xiushi very surprised, in just over two years, Guo Song became a young Taoist priest from a young Taoist priest, to a four-pin Mingwei general, and also knighted Lingwu County Duke, in addition to the royal family and relatives, who would have such a situation?
Of course, Duan Xiushi also knew that Guo Song's ability to get to today was by no means luck, it must have been that he had made a lot of great achievements that were not known to outsiders in order to get the favor of the Son of Heaven.
In particular, Guo Song led 300 warriors to Anxi and Beiting, which is simply a brave entry into the Longtan Tiger's Den, which is not a task that ordinary people can complete, courage alone is not enough, but also enough courage and strategy, as well as strong enough martial arts, it is possible to complete the task.
The appearance of such a courageous young man in Datang is really gratifying to Duan Xiushi, and he is also looking forward to Guo Song's arrival in the past few days.
At this time, Liang Yundao, who was in charge of the army, knocked on the door of the official room, "Make you look for me?" ”
"Liang joined the army just in time, please sit down and talk!"
Duan Xiushi asked Liang Daoyun to sit down, and at this time, Changshi Li Hui also came, and the three of them sat down at the small table, Duan Xiushi smiled and said: "The news that Guo Song is coming to Shuofang to serve must be known to both of them, especially Liang joining the army, your nephew is coming back, you should be very happy." ”
Liang Daoyun deliberately said with a straight face: "I'm not happy, I have to beat him up well, and I am very disappointed to get a captain." ”
Li Hui shook his head and smiled: "Liang joins the army and is content!" Liang Wu has been in the army for less than three years! has already been promoted to lieutenant, and Lin Sen, who is with him, is still a brigade commander. ”
Duan Xiushi smiled, "Li Changshi really thinks he's dissatisfied?" Liang joined the army's heart and smiled for a long time. ”
The three of them laughed together, and Duan Xiushi said again: "To be honest, Ling Lang is with the right person, Guo Song's future is limitless, and Ling Lang's future is also bright." ”
Liang Yundao nodded, "This is his choice!" ”
At this time, Duan Xiushi clapped his hands and smiled: "Let's get down to business, although Guo Song is the deputy envoy of Shuo Fangjiedu, he will not ask about the affairs of Shuo Fangjun, his duty is still to sit in the three surrendered cities, I recently have a consideration, can I take this opportunity to get Fengzhou together, let Guo Song sit in Fengzhou Jiuyuan County, so that at the same time take into account the surrender of the city of the middle and the surrender of the east." ”
Li Hui frowned slightly, "But Guo Song's official position is the envoy of the three towns, it should not include Fengzhou, will it be illegal to give Fengzhou to him?" ”
"Of course I do!"
Duan Xiushi smiled slightly: "Guo Song happens to be the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu at the same time, and in the name of the deputy envoy of Jiedu, let him be in charge of Fengzhou, I don't think there is a violation, what do you two think?" ”
Liang Yundao sighed and said: "I think it's okay, so I will set up the official office of the deputy envoy of Jiedu in Jiuyuan County, and it is justified for him to sit in Jiuyuan County." ”
Li Hui saw that both of them agreed, so he said: "Liang's plan to join the army is very good, and I agree with it!" ”
Duan Xiushi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then decide like this for the time being, I'll discuss it with Guo Song again when I go back, and try to convince him." ”
At this moment, a soldier ran to the door and reported: "Qiyu envoy, news has come from outside the city, and Guo Yuanjun, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, has arrived!" ”
Duan Xiushi got up and smiled at the two: "Let's go together to greet this young man from Lingzhou!" ”
........
After two years, Guo Song once again came to this important town in the northwest that has been entangled with him countless times, his predecessor was born here, his own household registration fell here, and he has a little blood relationship with the Guo family also lives here, although his actual place is more than a thousand miles away in the north, but in the coming years, he and Lingwu County will inevitably have more intersections.
A group of people walked on the wide official road, the wheat on both sides has turned yellow, the breeze blows, the wheat waves rise and fall, like the first yellow waves, particularly spectacular.
Guo Song pointed at the wheat field with a horsewhip and smiled at everyone: "In half a month at most, the wheat should be harvested, I wonder if the people of Xue Yantuo will come to grab the wheat?" ”
Li Ji said with a smile: "In a fire two years ago, the people of Xue Yantuo suffered heavy losses, and they did not come to Lingzhou last year or this year. ”
Guo Song shook his head, "It has nothing to do with that fire, it should be that the Sijie Department annexed the Absi Department and posed a threat to the Xue Yantuo people, and then there is the expansion of the Shuofang army to 26,000 people, and there is no need to defend the city anymore, these two reasons make the Xue Yan people dare not act rashly." ”
Liang Wu immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's still the soldiers and horses who are smart, and they see the problem thoroughly, so that they are so admired by the lowly that they throw themselves to the ground!" ”
Guo Song glanced at him and said, "Even if you shoot through the sycophants, I won't let you be alone, your qualifications are not enough, it is difficult to convince the public." ”
Liang Wu's ass slapped on the horse's hooves, and he muttered in a low voice: "Some people's qualifications are not as good as mine, and they are not as high?" ”
Everyone was stunned, Xiao Yuniang covered her mouth and snickered on the side, Guo Song didn't bother to pay attention to Liang Wu, pointed to the front and said, "It seems that someone is coming ahead!" ”
I saw the yellow dust billowing in front of me, and a team was speeding towards this side.
Everyone reined in the war horses, and after a while, the team rushed to Guo Song, the yellow dust dispersed, and the person at the head was Duan Xiushi, and there was a long history Li Hui behind, Liang Wu's uncle Liang Yundao, Duan Xiushi laughed and said: "One or two years, Guo Yuanjun is impressive, congratulations on his promotion." ”
Guo Song stepped forward and smiled: "I can listen to the order under the big marshal account again, Guo Song is lucky!" ”
"You are too modest, Guo Yuanjun is now a hero of Shuofangjun and Lingzhou, and everyone is looking forward to your arrival."
Guo Song was stunned, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, Liang Yundao smiled slightly: "You won the fifth place in the polo tournament for the Shuofang army the year before last, creating the history of the Shuofang polo team, I believe everyone will beat the gongs and drums to welcome you." ”
Guo Song was embarrassed, he hurriedly waved his hand, "It's best to avoid this kind of thing, I'm really not used to coming to Lingzhou in this way." ”
Duan Xiushi couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Guo Yuanjun!" Now everyone is guarding the wheat fields outside the city, Lingwu County is an empty city, if you hear the sound of gongs and drums, it must be driving away the birds, not welcoming Guo Yuanjun. ”
Everyone laughed, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious, Li Ji and Liang Wu stepped forward to salute everyone, and even the soldiers were infected, and everyone followed Guo Song to the county as if they were going home.
After entering the city, Li Ji took the soldiers to the barracks to rest, Xiaoyu Niang was inconvenient to go to the barracks, so Liang Wu took her to Liangjiabao and handed her over to his sister Liang Ling'er.
Liang Ling'er wanted to take a group of children from wealthy families in Lingzhou to meet Guo Song, but was angrily reprimanded by her father Liang Yundao, grounded for three days, and was staying at home unhappy.
The hall of Shuofang Jiedu Mansion was full of people, and all the important officials and generals came, basically they were old friends who knew each other, and Guo Song greeted them one by one.
Everyone sat down one after another, Duan Xiushi sat at the top, and asked Guo Song with a smile: "Guo Envoy Jun led the soldiers and horses of the three towns, have you ever considered where to put the governance office?" ”
Guo Song bowed and said, "I want to hear the opinions of Duan Envoy Jun and everyone. ”
Duan Xiushi smiled slightly: "This issue of governance should be decided by Guo Yuanjun himself, but because it involves the logistics supply of Shuofang, if the governance office is placed in the three surrendered cities, the distance is a bit far, and once the enemy army attacks, it is not convenient for the Shuo army to respond, we suggest that Guo Yuanjun put the governance office in Fengzhou." ”
"Toyoshu?"
This suggestion was a bit unexpected by Guo Song, Liang Yundao hurriedly explained: "The three surrendered cities plus Lingzhou, can be taken into account in all aspects, only Fengzhou, not far to the west of the surrendered city, not far to the middle and east of the two surrendered cities, more importantly, Lingzhou can transport logistics materials by water, if the governance is placed in the west surrendered city, it is indeed more labor-intensive." ”
Guo Song shook his head and smiled: "You misunderstood what I meant, I am the envoy of the three towns, and I do not have jurisdiction over Fengzhou, can I put the governance office in Fengzhou?" ”
Li Hui smiled slightly: "Guo Yuanjun is sitting in Fengzhou as the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and there is no problem at all. ”
It seems that everyone has reached a consensus, and Guo Song also realized that Fengzhou is indeed the best choice, he thought about it, and nodded happily: "Since everyone thinks so, I can accept it, so let's decide!" The administrative office is located in Jiuyuan County. ”
Witnessed by everyone, Duan Xiushi held a brief ceremony, and Guo Song officially took up the post of deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, at this time Li Hui smiled at Guo Song: "It's almost time, we set up a few tables of wine banquets in Lingzhou Restaurant to wash the dust for Guo Yuanjun." ”
