Xu Ziyuan buried himself in the book case, constantly reviewing one official document after another.

At the bottom of him sat several scribes, transcribing and choosing. Some things need to be handled immediately, and there will be a scribe who holds Xu Ziyuan's instructions and hurriedly goes out to find the relevant chief official.

From time to time, people come in and out, but no one in the house looks up to pay attention, and everyone has unfinished business. Compared with the mainland, there are still too few talents here in Ningxia.

In fact, there are not too many people who even read here, and there are not as many people who are willing to come here to contribute their youth and blood, as many as Xu Ziyuan imagined. Over the years, the number of graduates in the academy has increased, but in terms of quality and feelings of worrying about the country and the people, it is too far behind than at the beginning.

The earliest people such as Xu Ziyuan were really some guys who dared to sacrifice themselves for the country, otherwise they would not have resolutely followed Zhang Hui all the way to such a small place as Wuyi.

But no one regretted their choice. They came into contact with completely different knowledge in Wuwei Academy, in Xu Ziyuan's words, that is, not only opened their eyes, but also opened their minds.

In their group of people, except for a very few people who overturned the car and had an accident, almost all of the rest are in power in the current Datang.

Of course, people who can be the governor of a province like Xu Ziyuan are still rare, but this is what Xu Ziyuan bought in exchange for his life. At the beginning, when he only brought a few servants and went north alone to find Zhang Jia, he really put his life out of the way.

A blue-robed official tiptoed in, went straight to Xu Ziyuan's big case, bowed his head and said, "Governor Xu, Xue Du has escorted him away." ”

The pen in Xu Ziyuan's hand froze in the air for a moment, and then he wrote again: "Let's go, I've said everything I need to say, can't I beat the gong and drum to see him off?" ”

As soon as the green-robed official heard this, he turned around and wanted to leave, took two steps, but turned around again, and said: "Xue Duhu is not going back to Wuyi, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Western Regions, it seems that he has changed his mind and returned to the Western Regions!" ”

With a snap, a drop of thick ink fell from the tip of the pen and fell on the official document, and the ink stained a large area, Xu Ziyuan stood up and looked at the green-robed official with some anger: "I haven't eaten in the morning, and I still have a big pant when I speak, I don't know how to finish it in one breath!" ”

The green-robed official looked at Xu Ziyuan inexplicably, his face full of grievances.

Xu Ziyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, he directly crossed him, and strode out, while walking, he ordered him to escort Xue Du.

The green-robed official looked at Xu Ziyuan, who only had one back left, a little sluggishly, wasn't he still very disdainful just now? How did it change in the blink of an eye?

Such a fickle commander is really not easy to serve!

Xue Ping never came back after leaving the city from inside the city, sitting by the canal, looking at the incomparable wheat waves, looking at the industrious farmers, and looking at the endless stream of vendors, he suddenly realized in his heart.

"Let's go back to Qiuzi!" He stood up and said to several family members and Sima Kai behind him.

Sima Kai didn't react for a while, and several family members were overjoyed. They have been following Xue Ping, and naturally they know that this time their own Langjun went back, in fact, with a heart of death. Once Langjun really does this, I am afraid that the Xue family will never come back.

Xue Ping collapsed, and they naturally collapsed.

But there is no room for them to object, all they can do is to follow silently.

Now that Xue Ping has changed his mind, they are naturally so happy that they are about to jump.

"I'll go back and get the salute!"

"I'll go back to catch the carriage!"

Sima Kai finally reacted. waved his hand to the guards who followed him, and whispered a few words to let these people go back to arrange, while he followed Xue Ping, who was slowly moving forward, to the front.

"Xue Duhu, don't you say goodbye to Governor Xu?" He asked.

Xue Ping shook his head: "No, everything that should be said has already been said, and there is nothing to say when we meet again." By the way, Sima, aren't your people going back to Wuyi to deliver something? ”

Sima Kai smiled: "That's all secondary, things, just find a caravan and bring it back, but the head of the family ordered me to protect Xue Duhu's safety, since Xue Duhu wants to go back, then I naturally have to go with me." ”

"It's fine." Xue Ping nodded: "When your people go to pack up their things, don't forget to go to the top of the city tower and bring me that globe." ”

"Yes, Togo!" Sima Kai responded.

Anyway, Xue Ping's decision to go back is a great thing. The Sima clan in the Western Regions, in fact, has not been very happy, until Xue Ping became the protector of the Western Regions, they were really reused, and once Xue Ping resigned, I was afraid that they would be suppressed again, and now Xue Ping decided to go back, for the Sima family, there is really hope of turning over.

Central Plains, they can't go back for a while, the two sons who are studying in the academy are still young, and if they want to revive the family's prestige and prestige, it is obviously not something that can be done in a short time. At present, there are actually a lot of opportunities in the Western Regions, as long as there are people to support them, it is not too difficult to rebuild the prestige of the Sima clan.

Although the Sima clan is down now, if they really want to talk about it, they still want people and money.

A group of people re-embarked on the return journey.

Xu Ziyuan took several servants to chase after him, but seeing that the other party had already gotten on the ferry, he hurriedly rode his horse and galloped for a while, went up to a hill by the river, turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand and said, "Hurry, hurry, set up a drum for me!" ”

The two servants took down a big drum from their horses, and they didn't prepare a drum set in their eagerness, so they knelt in front of Xu Ziyuan with the big drum on their left and right.

The ferry came slowly from the upstream, with one person in the bow, behind the bearer, who was not Xue Ping?

Xu Ziyuan raised the drumstick high with both hands and knocked it down hard.

Boom!

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

You don't see the snow on the seaside,

The flat sand is reckless and yellow into the sky.

Luntai September wind roars at night,

A river of gravel is as big as a bucket,

Walk around with the wind and rocks.

Xiongnu grass yellow horse is fattening,

Jinshan saw smoke and dust flying,

The general of the Han family went to the west.

The general's golden armor does not take off at night,

In the middle of the night, the army marched and did not dial,

The limelight is like a knife, and the surface is like a cut.

Horsehair with snow sweat steam,

Five-flower and money are swirled into ice,

The grass in the curtain is waterlogged.

The captives should be frightened when they hear it,

It is expected that the short soldiers dare not take it,

The military advisor Simon offered his victory.

The drums rumbled, and Xu Ziyuan sang hoarsely and vigorously.

The boat slowly swept under the mountain, Xue Ping looked up at Xu Ziyuan who was beating the drum on the hill, clenched his fists with both hands, and shook deeply.

The wind rose, the sails were fluffed, and they headed for the pier on the other side of the river.

The drums are endless.

Outside the city of Yinzhou, the drums are rumbling, the horns are endless, several left guards and horses are circling back and forth, rehearsing the battle formation, and on the martial arts platform, Li Cunzhong, who has a big beard, wears a helmet and armor, and stands still.

After several years of training, today's Zuo Wuwei soldiers are well fed, and with the elimination of the weak and the inferior again and again, the current Zuo Wuwei, although there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left, but the combat effectiveness is on another level. Speaking of which, although Li Ze left Zuo Wuwei in Yinzhou, he has never looked at their equipment differently.

After all, this is the front line of the Tibetan people. Of course, now, Zuo Wuwei is no longer the defensive posture of the past, but is becoming more and more aggressive.

Tubo is getting more and more chaotic, but this is not a good opportunity for Zuo Wuwei to make a move, but acting more aggressively can also more effectively deter some people in Tubo.

Once the overall situation in the country has been decided, then it is time for them to show their talents.

Han Rui hurriedly stepped onto the stage and said in a low voice: "General, news has just come from Ningxia that Xue Duhu has not returned to Wuyi. Instead, they turned back to the Western Regions. ”

Li Cunzhong was stunned, turned his head, and said, "Xue Ping is not a person who is easily shaken, what happened?" ”

"According to the information I can inquire, someone is trying to assassinate Xue Duhu on the way back!" Han Rui's voice was lowered.

Li Cunzhong's face froze: "Xu Ziyuan? ”

Han Rui shook his head: "No, it was the people of the Lingnan Xiang family, and the people who planned this matter were all arrested by Xu Ziyuan in the end." And Xue Ping seems to have confirmed this matter. This, this is also too inexplicable. Is there any other way here? ”

"Such a thing can't be faked!" Li Cunzhong was silent for a long time, "It's roughly that Lingnan Xiangjia thinks that it is useless for Xue Duhu to go back alone, so he wants to kill him and frame it for Li Xiang, if this basin of dirty water is really to be splashed, Li Xiang can't wash it clean." ”

"How can it really be mentioned!" Han Rui said with some anger.

Li Cunzhong smiled: "Xue Ping went back, and it was a big blow to a lot, but he, after all, is different." ”

"What about now?"

"We?" Li Cunzhong suddenly laughed: "When did we have a connection with the people of the Xiang family?" We have never had a relationship with them. ”

"The guys sent home?"

"Tie it up, secretly send it back to Wuyi." Li Cunzhong said.

"Why don't you leave it to the internal guard?"

"It's a little different from what they take back and what we do." Li Cunzhong said with a smile.

Han Rui nodded knowingly: "Understood." ”

"By the way, today's Mrs. Dai Lin has a birthday and invited me, you can go with me!" Li Cunzhong said: "After Dai Du came back from Wuyi, I haven't met him properly, and this time I just had a detailed discussion with him." In the current situation in Tibet, I think we can add fuel to the fire and seek more benefits from it. For now, we need to work closely with Dai Tuk to prepare some more capital for the future, and once we do it, we can be like a bamboo. We can't catch up with the war in the country, but where is the civil war as happy as opening up the territory? ”
