Chapter 239: The Guo Family's Remorse
Lingzhou Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Lingwu County, with an official background, today Shuofang Jiedu Mansion has chartered the restaurant, for the newly arrived deputy envoy Guo Song to wash the dust.
At the beginning of night, the restaurant was noisy and lively, and the gentry from the eight families of Lingzhou, as well as the officials and generals of the Jiedu Mansion and the Assassin Mansion, a total of more than 100 people welcomed the arrival of the deputy envoy Guo Song.
Representatives of major families took turns to toast Guo Song, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Guo Yangchun, the head of the Guo family, was particularly bitter in his heart, and at the same time had deep remorse, he knew that he had listened to his son's advice and welcomed Guo Song into the family, and the most glorious thing today was Guo Jiabao, Guo Jiabao would also become the first wealthy family in Lingzhou because of Guo Song, but it was a pity that he was short-sighted! He hated Guo Shichang even more for the bastard who missed the future of the Guo family for a little petty profit.
Looking at Guo Song, who was sitting calmly in the main seat, Guo Yangchun felt uncomfortable for a while, he couldn't help it anymore, and pulled his son Guo Zhi aside, his lips moved twice, but he couldn't speak, Guo Zhi immediately understood, he sighed deeply in his heart, he knew today, why bother in the first place?
Guo Zhi shook his head and said to his father: "Father, I'm afraid it's unrealistic, at least not now, proposing to let him return to the Guo family now will only bring humiliation on himself, and it will also make other families laugh, I suggest that it is better to remain silent." ”
Guo Yangchun was depressed, but his son's words gave him a glimmer of hope, and he hurriedly said, "You mean, there will be opportunities in the future?" ”
Guo Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future!" However, one thing is certain, Guo Shichang is in Guo's house for a day, and there will be no hope for Guo Song to return. ”
"What if I ask Guo Shichang to apologize?" Guo Yangchun said urgently.
Guo Zhi still shook his head, "Father, do you think Guo Shichang will apologize?" ”
Guo Yangchun was silent, Guo Shichang has also begun to aim for the position of the head of the family in the past two years, and actively wooed the children of the Guo family and asked him to apologize to Guo Song, which is absolutely impossible.
At this time, Liang Huihe came over and smiled at Guo Zhi: "San Lang, let's go and give Guo Yuanjun a drink!" ”
Guo Zhi nodded and said to his father: "Everything is natural, after all, his father is still in the Guo family tree, maybe there will be a day." ”
Guo Yangchun sighed and had to accept this cruel reality......
"The two of us salute Guo Yuanjun with a glass of wine!"
Liang Huihe said with a smile: "I have to state one thing, if Guo Yuanjun still wants to do foreign aid, it must be the foreign aid of our Liang family." ”
Everyone laughed, and Li Hui smiled and said: "The rules are going to be changed soon, and the captain and above can't participate in the Lingzhou Martial Arts Meeting, so don't count on General Guo." ”
Guo Yundao next to him also sighed: "Speaking of changing the rules, I heard that the Wanqi Battalion has also asked to change the rules of the polo competition, and generals above the sixth rank cannot participate in the competition. ”
Guo Song waved his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that last year's polo tournament Shuo Fang Army also entered the top 16, without me and Li Ji, the same can do, the number of troops was too small before, now Shuo Fang Army is strong and strong, I believe that it will always be a strong team on the Tang Polo Stadium in the future." ”
Duan Xiushi nodded, "The key is to select and cultivate talents, I have decided to hold a polo tournament every year within the Shuofang Army, so that all armies will attach importance to it, and Guo Yuanjun, including the three towns of the surrendered city, will also participate." ”
Guo Song laughed, "It seems that the first thing I did when I took office was to form a polo team!" ”
Everyone laughed, Guo Zhi raised his glass and smiled at Guo Song: "Guo Jiabao congratulates Guo Yuanjun on his ascension, I salute Guo Yuanjun with a cup!" ”
Although Guo Song had no feelings for Guo Jiabao, he wanted to give an explanation to the dead Guo Chongqing, he raised his glass and smiled: "Guo Jiabao is full of talents, I remember that Guo Liang is very good, he is eighteen years old!" ”
Guo Liang is Guo Chongqing's only apprentice, when the martial arts Guo Zhi deployed him as a surprise soldier and defeated Liang Wu, Guo Chongqing has always been obsessed with him.
Guo Zhi hurriedly said: "He also serves as a reserve general this year, if Guo Yuanjun looks up to him, it will be his honor." ”
Guo Song nodded and said, "Then let him go north with me!" ”
Guo Zhi was overjoyed, "I'll arrange it when I go back." ”
Liang Huihe was not to be left behind, and hurriedly said: "Can Guo Yuanjun bring Liang Wen and Liang Ju'er with him?" ”
These two Guo Song also had a good impression of them, and he smiled: "As long as Liang Wu doesn't object, I have no problem." ”
"If he dares to object, I will skin him!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and many heads of the family were thinking about whether to install a child of their own family next to Guo Song, Guo Song became the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu at such a young age, and his future is limitless, and he will definitely have a future with him.
.........
The official letter of the Ministry of War has been advanced to Lingzhou, and the Ministry of War has increased the total garrison strength of the three towns of the surrendered city from the original 3,000 to 6,000 people, the previous 3,000 people were sent by the Ministry of War, and the new 3,000 people must be sent by the Shuofang Jiedu Prefecture as a supplement to the troops of the three towns of the surrendered city.
In the barracks warehouse, Liang Yundao accompanied Guo Song to visit the grain warehouse of Shuofangjun, and the two talked while walking.
"I'll give you a suggestion!"
Liang Yundao smiled and said to Guo Song: "The 3,000 troops of the Shuofang army are placed in Fengzhou, no matter which city is surrendered, it can be rescued at any time, what do you think?"
Guo Song nodded, "I also think about it this way, in fact, I still have an idea, let Liang Wu be the general of the Eastern Surrendered Town, what does my uncle think?" ”
Liang Yundao smiled: "Do you think it's appropriate?" ”
Guo Song has already thought about this problem, he explained: "There is no problem in terms of official rank, Liang Wu is the deputy lieutenant of Zhaowu under the sixth grade, and he is at the same level as the general of Shangzhen, there is no obstacle in his position, the only deficiency is experience, but I thought about it, this problem should not be big, after all, he has participated in many big battles, and he is much stronger than many generals who are messing around." ”
Liang Yundao pondered and said: "First of all, thank Guo Yuanjun for valuing Liang Wu so much, but there is a big taboo in the army, called cronyism, once the main general bears this reputation, it will seriously affect his prestige in the eyes of the soldiers, but nepotism is inevitable, which master wants to use his own people, so this requires a little skill, Guo Yuanjun will change his own people as soon as he takes office, which is obviously a bit inappropriate, I suggest that it is better to wait for a year or two, Liang Wu's own talent will be recognized by everyone, and then the town general will also leave office, At that time, the appointment of Liang Wu was logical, and no one said that Guo Yuanjun was nepotistic. ”
Guo Song secretly admires Liang Yundao's prudence and sophistication, Jiang is still old and spicy, although he has been a human being in two lives, he is still not as mature as these long-time officialdom people.
"Thank you uncle for your advice, Guo Song has been taught."
Liang Yundao smiled and nodded, "I have time to have a light meal at my house, Ling'er wants to meet you, this girl is getting wilder and wilder, and I can't control her anymore." ”
Guo Song also heard Liang Wu say that Liang Ling'er is already the eldest sister of Lingzhou, but a group of her subordinates are not ruffians, but a group of twelve or thirteen-year-old sons of wealthy families, there are nearly twenty people, known as hoe gangsters, fighting injustices everywhere, the people of Lingzhou both like them, but they are very big for them.
Guo Song said happily: "I also want to meet Ling'er, uncle arrange time!" ”
Liang Yundao thought for a while and said, "Then tonight!" Liang Wu and Li Ji came over together, and everyone got together. ”
At this time, a general stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to report: "See Liang to join the army, see Guo Yuanjun!" ”
Guo Song was stunned for a moment, this voice was so familiar, he looked down and immediately recognized it, "Are you Shi Xiaopang?" ”
The general stood up, sure enough, it was a little fat Shi Tong, but his appearance had changed a lot, he had grown at least ten centimeters, he was white and fat, but now he was black and strong, and his voice seemed to be a little lower, and his demeanor was obviously a little more resolute as a soldier.
Liang Yundao said with a smile: "Shi Tong is now a logistics army commander, he is no longer a cook, his martial arts are good, he can also write and calculate, and he is very important to him." ”
Shi Tong bowed down and said: "Thank you for joining the army and complimenting, Shi Tong doesn't dare to be!" ”
Guo Song looked at it strangely from the side, this is still the former Shi Xiaopang who felt sorry for himself all day long, it seems that the military camp is really a melting pot, and Shi Xiaopang has been reforged.
"Shi Tong, do you want to go north with me?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
Shi Tong hesitated, his eyes showed a look of expectation, but he still said respectfully: "All the lowly duties are subject to dispatch!" ”
Guo Song asked Liang Yun with a smile, "Is Jiedu willing to let people go?" ”
"It's hard to say, there are too few generals who can read and write, the Jiedu envoy values him very much, and is ready to transfer him to the tooth goalkeeper, if you take him away, it will delay his future."
Guo Song understood, so he said to Shi Tong: "Then stay with peace of mind, there will always be a chance." ”
"Humble duty.... Obey! Shi Tong sighed helplessly in his heart.
