Chapter 157: Someone from the Imperial Court (1)
However, these gains have greatly exceeded the expectations of Yongwang Guo Qi, and the current Yongjun is like eating a big tonic pill, and urgently needs to digest it, so that these rescued people can truly integrate into the Yonglong two states under the rule of Yongwang Guo Qi.
"Lord, this more than 1.6 million stones of grain and grass, of which one million stones of grain and grass were left in the defense line of Longdi Mountain, has been stored in the grain and grass camp under Siguan, according to the lord's orders, all the grain and grass are scattered and hidden, in case it is discovered and burned by the enemy;
Among them, there are 400,000 stone grain and grass in the Great Earthquake Pass, and 200,000 stone grain and grass in Huating Pass, Zhenyi Pass and Zhenrong Pass; In addition, more than 600,000 stones of grain and grass, of which 300,000 stones were transported to Huangyuan City, and the remaining 300,000 were all transferred to Cangcheng in Yongcheng. ”
"How's the construction of Huangyuan City?" Guo Qi asked Ling Jing.
The original Huangyuan City was demolished by Guo Qi's order, and now Longzhou has been recovered by Guo Qi, and Huangyuan City naturally has to be rebuilt, but due to the limited construction of the Longdi Mountain defense line, the construction of Huangyuan City is seriously insufficient in terms of manpower, masonry and wood, so the progress is very slow.
"Lord Yu, at present, the warehouse city used to store grain and grass and other baggage has been built, with a radius of one mile and four miles around the week, due to the lack of masonry, the city wall is built of rammed earth, and the periphery is not covered with bricks, but it is enough for storing grain and grass baggage."
"Hmmm! The construction of Huangyuan City is not in a hurry, and the key now is still in the Longdi Mountain defense line. Guo Qi nodded and said, "You go on!" ”
"No! All the cultivated cattle, except for those left to the Tuntian soldiers, the rest have also been dispersed under the auspices of Lord Song, among which the brothers who were killed, disabled and made meritorious contributions in battle were guaranteed to each family to receive at least one healthy ox; The rest of the cattle are divided in the form of leases, and now there are seven members of the households in Yonglong and the two prefectures have reached the cattle farming;
The rest of the sheep, pigs and other livestock were also handed over to the Tuntian soldiers for raising, for this reason, the Song Dynasty did not set aside a part of the land in the mountains and forests and some barren slopes and handed it over to the Tuntian soldiers......"
Ling Jing reported everything to Guo Qi one by one, and Guo Qi also made detailed inquiries about some places, and by the time the two finished talking, it was almost dawn.
——————
The next morning, Guo Qi was still resting.
Li Wu hurriedly broke into Guo Qi's sleeping tent and said, "Lord, lord, wake up." ”
"What's the matter with the five sons?" Guo Qi said in a daze: "I don't know if this king talked to Ling Jing about dawn last night!" Let the king sleep for a while. ”
"Lord, if you sleep again, something will happen, someone from the court has come, and it has reached the Great Earthquake Pass." Li Wu said anxiously.
"What do you say? Someone from the imperial court? Guo Qi bounced up from the couch with a 'Teng' sound.
"I'm afraid we're almost at the gates of the city by now." Li Wu said anxiously.
"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and change the clothes of this king!" Guo Qi said anxiously.
It is not a trivial matter to snub the people sent by the imperial court, these people are here on behalf of the emperor, and snubbing them is equivalent to snubbing the emperor.
With the help of Li Wu, Guo Qi put on a black military uniform, because he does not fight now, and does not review the soldiers, Guo Qi generally does not wear armor, after all, wearing dozens of pounds of armor is too bulky, but very inconvenient.
When Guo Qi came out of the dormitory, before he walked to the gate of the camp, he saw a familiar face, Guo Qi hurriedly greeted him, bowed and saluted: "Father-in-law Liu has worked hard all the way, and this king has lost his welcome and asked his father-in-law to atone for his sins." ”
"Oops! Lord Wang, you are really a minion. Gonggong Liu was flattered and said: "You are like this, the old slave may kneel." ”
"My father-in-law is here on behalf of my father, and this king should also give gifts." Guo Qi got up and said with a smile: "Father-in-law has been in the dust all the way, let's go first!" ”
"I was really told by His Highness, the old slave really went all the way this time, and he didn't dare to rest on the road at all." Liu Qian's face turned slightly pale and said: "But this rest is temporarily waived, and I also ask the prince and An Guogong to prepare to receive the order!" ”
"Everything is up to my father-in-law." Guo Qi said respectfully: "Fifth son, go and prepare the incense case." ”
After everything was ready, Gonggong Liu stood on the steps in front of the big tent of the Chinese army and respectfully took out the holy decree issued by the emperor.
"His Majesty's holy decree from the Emperor of Great Qi, King Yong Guo Qi and Anguo Duke Zhao She." Gonggong Liu shouted at the top of his voice.
"The son Guo Qi (Chen Zhao She) received the order." The two spoke together.
"Qing and other thieves in the first war in Western Xinjiang are very relieved; This is the autumn of the crisis of our dynasty, and Wangqing and others will make persistent efforts to defend the border of Daqi for me;
I learned that the northern grasslands encountered rare heavy snowfall last winter, and the Beidi tribes suffered heavy losses, and now that spring is coming, the Beidi tribes have repeatedly harassed my northern frontier, and it seems that they have the intention of moving south;
For the defense of the northern border of our Great Qi, I relieved Zhao She, the Duke of Anguo, to serve as the general of the expedition to the north, and appointed him as the general of the expedition to the north, responsible for commanding all the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Qi, and in order to strengthen the northern border defense, the general of the Northern Expedition Zhao She, was specially ordered to select 100,000 elite men from the Western Army to go north;
The post of general of Zhengrong was taken over by Guo Qi, the former general of Zhenxi, and the remaining 50,000 troops of the Western Army were also under the command of Guo Qi, the general of Zhengrong, and Zhao Kui, the former commander of the Western Army, was the general of Zhenxi to assist Guo Qi, the king of Yong, in rectifying the defense of Western Xinjiang...... Chin this. ”
"The son of Guo Qi (minister Zhao She) received the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Lord, get up!" Gonggong Liu handed over the holy decree to Guo Qi and said.
"Lord Wang, this is the Tiger Talisman of the Western Army issued by His Majesty (Note 1), and the Lord can verify with the Duke of State; This is the Tiger Talisman of the Northern Army and the Seal of the General of the Northern Expedition issued by His Majesty. After Guo Qi and Zhao Shi got up, Liu Qian handed over the boxes containing the tiger talisman and the handsome seal to Guo Qi and Zhao Shi respectively.
After returning to the Chinese army's big tent, Guo Qi took out the tiger talisman from the black long box engraved with tiger stripes, and checked it with the tiger talisman in Zhao She's hand.
After the handover ceremony was completed, Liu Qian said to Zhao She: "Grandpa Guo, when the old slave came, His Majesty ordered, saying that the northern border is now in crisis, so let the Duke of Guo set off as soon as possible after the handover is completed." ”
"Ben Shuai knows, so he will lead his guards to the north to rectify the defense." Zhao Shi hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the Marshal of Northern Defense still hopes to get the strong support of the Lord Wang!" ”
"The general said he was laughing!" Guo Qihan said with a smile: "My father has transferred 100,000 elites of the Western Army to you, and this king is now worried about how to solve the vacated border defense line!" ”
"Don't worry, the prince is not borrowing an army from the prince, but wants to borrow some military horses from the prince; Ben Shuai knows that the prince has got a lot of military horses from Xirong this time, not to mention more than 100,000 horses! It's not too much to lend Ben Shuai 30,000 horses! ”
"30,000 horses, you rob it! How dare the lion open his mouth. "Guo Qi almost didn't jump up, horses are Guo Qi's lifeblood, asking for military horses from Guo Qi is not the same as asking for Guo Qi's life;" This king has got some military horses, but there are not many, he is not enough, and he is really powerless to support the general! ”
