The distribution of housing will last for nearly half a month, Cao Wannian is experienced, shrewd and capable, plus he is well prepared, all kinds of resources are sufficient, the whole house distribution process is handled in an orderly manner, there is no chaos, and the people who get the new house are in full swing to build a new home.

After Guo Song inspected the first batch of housing allocation, he led the army to leave Longyou and return to Zhangye, and he returned to Zhangye with Zhang Feng, who led the army to surrender not long ago, he went to Zhangye to reunite with his family, and he wanted to have a good understanding of the operation of Zhangye's government, he will serve as the assassin of Shanzhou, which is also his first time as a civil official, and his experience is not enough.

At night, 20,000 troops camped in the wilderness north of the Dadou Ba Valley, the soldiers lit dozens of bonfires, these 20,000 troops were composed of 10,000 Hexi Army and 10,000 Longyou Army, and the army left in Hexi was also 10,000 Longyou Army and 10,000 Hexi Army, Longyou Army has been reorganized, all the generals above the captain level are served by the officers and soldiers of the Hexi Army, and the generals of the Longyou Army selected a part to train the militia, and the others were sent back to their hometowns.

This is also Guo Song's consistent style, leaving soldiers without leaving generals, so as not to leave hidden dangers.

The bonfire was full of soldiers who were barbecuing and drinking, Zhang Feng took a sip of milk wine and said to Guo Song: "Zhu Jun is very jealous of the envoy, thinking that the envoy is the stinger in his back, but he is a little contemptuous of the envoy, we can all feel this contempt, maybe he always feels that the envoy can't be on the stage!" ”

"Where does it come from to show that he doesn't value me?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"He himself said to everyone at the banquet that the geographical ranking in his heart was high in Guanzhong, and then Bashu was second, Central Plains was third, Hebei was fourth, Jiangnan was fifth, Guannei was sixth, Hedong was seventh, Jianghuai was eighth, Longyou was ninth, Hexi and Shuofang were tied for tenth, as for Lingnan, Quanzhou, Yunnan, Liaodong and other places, they were not ranked at all in his heart."

"Hexi is actually ranked tenth!"

Guo Song smiled dumbly and said, "Does he look down on people like this?" ”

"But it may be different now, Hexi and Longyou merge, the threat to Guanzhong will increase, he will definitely pay attention to it, I guess it should be ranked fourth or fifth."

"Did Zhu Zhu think about building a new dynasty to ascend the throne?" Guo Song asked with a smile again.

"Of course!" Zhang Feng said with a smile: "He dreamed that if it weren't for his strategists to stop him, he would have kicked Li Wei off the throne a long time ago, he prefers to follow the advice of his strategists, which is better, especially the military advisor Liu Sigu, who he trusts the most." ”

'Liu Sigu? ’

Guo Song was stunned, "Is he the advisor of Yu Chaoen in the past?" ”

"Seems like yes, I've heard of it too."

This really made Guo Song not expect, he thought that Liu Sigu was dead, but he didn't expect him to be still there, and became Zhu Jun's military advisor, this person is resourceful, insidious and vicious, he became Zhu Zhu's strategist, then things will not be so simple, driving more than 600,000 displaced people to Hexi must be the poisonous plan he planned, and Zhu Zhu can't think of the threat of the Hexi Army, can't Liu Sigu think of it?

Guo Song was silent in thought for a while.

..........

It was night when he returned to Zhangye, and the army returned directly to the barracks, and the marching Sima arranged for the soldiers of the Longyou Army to stay, and Guo Song asked the officials to send Zhang Feng to the post house to rest, and he returned to his mansion under the escort of his own soldiers.

The expedition was not long, only a little more than a month, and it was already mid-October when I returned.

In the study, Guo Song is holding his third child, and in July, Dugu Youlan gave birth to a daughter named Guo Yan'er, because she has a red birthmark on her arm, which resembles a wild goose.

I have to admit that Guo Song's genetics are very strong, the three children all look like him, their bodies and appearances are similar, and the eldest daughter Guo Weiwei is only five years old, and she is already half a head taller than children of the same age.

At this time, Xue Tao walked in with a cup of tea, and saw Guo Song pacing back and forth in the room with the child in his arms, Dugu Youlan sat helplessly on the side, Xue Tao smiled: "The child is asleep, what are you still holding her for?" Let your child sleep well! ”

"The child is asleep? No, you're still looking at me with your eyes open! ”

Guo Song handed the child to Xue Tao to see, the little guy did have his eyes open, lying comfortably in his father's arms, she opened her small mouth and yawned, and her eyes slowly closed.

"I'm going to fall asleep now."

Guo Song hurriedly and carefully handed the child to Dugu Youlan, who took the child and whispered, "I'll send her to sleep." ”

"Put her head on the cover, it's windy outside."

Xue Tao pulled the wind shield in the swaddling clothes with one hand, covering the child's head, and Dugu Youlan hurriedly went.

Xue Tao put the tea cup on the table and said with a smile: "When you come back, you should hug the lady first, not the child first!" ”

Guo Song smiled, opened his arms and said, "I'll hug the lady!" ”

Xue Tao pushed his hand away and said, "I want to hug it at night, now I have something to do!" ”

"What's the matter?" Guo Song hugged his wife's waist from behind and asked with a smile,

"Later, the Liang family wanted to set up wine in Zhangye Restaurant and officially announce Liang Wu's marriage, and the husband said that he wanted to give gifts?"

Guo Song smiled and asked, "Have you received an invitation?" ”

"The invitation was given to us yesterday."

"Then send a congratulatory gift, and send it directly to Liang Wu's mansion tomorrow, Liang Wu and I have a good relationship, so I will seal five thousand taels of silver, and then send something else."

"I know, I'm going to send another pair of jade mandarin ducks."

Guo Song pondered for a moment and said, "When you just said that the people of the Liang family are the elders of Liang Wu?" ”

"It seems to be his uncle, called Liang ....."

"Liang Yundao!"

"It's him, it seems that he is still a high-ranking official of Shuofang Jiedu Mansion."

Guo Song said happily: "He is my old acquaintance, go visit him tomorrow." ”

.........

The next morning, Guo Song came to the Liang Mansion, Liang Yundao had received the news, and waited in front of the mansion, he saw Guo Song from afar, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Envoy, I haven't seen you for many years!" ”

Guo Song turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "It's true that I haven't seen you for many years, and my uncle basically hasn't changed!" ”

Guo Song is telling the truth, except for the white temples of Liang Yundao, his other appearances are basically no different from when Guo Song first arrived in Lingzhou more than ten years ago, as if the years have stopped on his face.

Liang Yundao smiled bitterly and said: "I'm really old, I can feel it myself, and my energy can't be compared with more than ten years ago." ”

He hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this, let you enter the mansion quickly!" ”

Guo Song nodded and walked into the Liang Mansion, this is Liang Wu's official residence, covering an area of about ten acres, not only Liang Wu, Lang Jiang and above have official residences, but the difference in area and size.

The two walked into your guest room, sat down as the guest and host, and Liang Yundao ordered the maid to serve tea.

"Is Liang Wu's father here?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

Liang Yundao shook his head, "He is not in good health, it should be said that he is very bad, and he can't withstand the long-distance travel, so I had to come here for him, in fact, Liang Wu and Sanniang have already married in Lingzhou, and his father also attended the wedding at that time, and this is just a make-up banquet." ”

"Liang Wu and I have been brothers for many years, and his marriage is a big deal, but I didn't return in the Western Regions, and I knew too late, so I can only express a little bit of my heart,"

Guo Song put the list of congratulatory gifts on the table and pushed it over, Liang Yundao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is just a banquet, not a marriage, it is okay for everyone, no congratulatory gifts will be accepted, so that you must not be polite." ”

Guo Song pushed the gift list to him, "These are two different things, it has nothing to do with me whether others give it or not, but when an old friend gets married, I should express it, I said it, it's just a little heart!" ”

Liang Yundao is very affectionate, of course he knows that he wants to give Guo Song face, but he is just a little polite, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, I will thank the envoy." ”

Guo Song took a sip of tea and asked again, "How is Lingzhou now?" ”

Liang Yundao shook his head: "It's worrying, everyone says that Shuofang Jiedu Mansion is like water that is about to boil, it looks calm, but it is about to tumble violently." ”

Guo Song was stunned, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Actually, the envoy knows the reason."

Guo Song groaned for a moment and blurted out: "Party item? ”

Liang Yundao nodded, "What Cui Kuan did is simply raising tigers, three years ago, he reached an agreement with the big chief of the party, the party agreed to pay taxes to the government, each household pays two sheep per year, and there is a tax of 80,000 sheep every year, and at the same time, the party sends 1,000 young people to serve as laborers every year, and works for the Jiedu Mansion for three months every winter.

In exchange, Cui Kuan opened up the trade of the party members, and as a result, last year, the party items purchased 100,000 catties of pig iron from all over the country to build armor.

In the past few years, the party has been working hard, ostensibly to obey Cui Kuan's dispatch, Cui Kuan also sent his henchman Ma Wencui to serve as the Xiazhou soldier and horse envoy, that is, in charge of 25,000 party troops, but the problem is that the party members are of different races, they only obey the orders of the big chief, Ma Wencui is only a nominal leader, but Cui Kuan can't see this. ”

"Uncle can remind Cui Kuan!"

Liang Yundao sighed, "Cui Kuan took a fancy to the combat effectiveness of the party members and wanted to use them for his own use, but he didn't understand the ambitions and history of the party members. ”

"It seems that the party members are going to rebel."

Liang Yundao was silent for a moment and said, "This is actually the real purpose of my coming to Zhangye." ”
