Guazhou is located at the west end of the Hexi Corridor, connecting Yumen in the east and Dunhuang in the west.

The terrain of Guazhou County is special, which can be roughly divided into mountainous areas, Gobi and alluvial plains.

There is no need to say more about the shortage of resources in the Gobi.

However, its mountain is the Qilian Daxue Mountain, which is rich in precipitation due to its location at the key point of the northwest airflow. At the foot of the mountain there is a lush meadow that is ideal for animal husbandry, while the alluvial plain is fertile and ideal for farming.

For this reason, Guazhou's agriculture and animal husbandry are particularly developed.

The grain and materials in the surrounding Sha, Xi and Yi prefectures are all supplied by Guazhou.

Guazhou can be regarded as the most worry-free place in Hexi.

Especially in recent years, the traces of bandits in Guazhou have dissipated, and the people in the territory have lived more comfortably.

The governor of Guazhou, Geng Hou, disguised himself and came to a mansion in the east of Jinchang City to meet his brother Geng Changqing.

The house was full of men, about fifty or sixty people, all of whom were good at fighting and fierce.

Geng Changqing was dressed in a businessman's outfit, his face was full of wind and frost, and there was a faint scar on his face: "Xiaohou, I haven't seen you for many years!" ”

Geng Hou looked at his brother, and also had a little excitement, and said, "Brother, it's been three years, we haven't seen each other for three years!" ”

Geng Changqing stepped forward and hugged Geng Hou hard, and said: "It's best that our brothers don't see each other in this life, it seems that it won't work, you are so anxious to find me, is there a change in the situation?" ”

Geng Changqing was originally from Liangzhou and belonged to a member of the ordinary people. However, he was bullied by local wealthy businessmen, and under the collusion of officials and businessmen, not only did he fail to seek justice, but he was so tired that his family members were beaten badly.

Since Geng Changqing chose this path and began to have countless innocent blood on his hands, he already knew what would happen to him in the future.

He knew that he had become like a profiteer, and that the only thing that awaited him was destruction.

He didn't want his family to embark on this road, so he arranged for Geng Hou to enter Guazhou and leave the army.

On the one hand, he constantly fed Geng Hou with his merits, and on the other hand, he strengthened himself through Geng Hou's internal intelligence.

In the past few years, Geng Hou has reached the pinnacle of his life, and his outstanding achievements have made him the governor of Guazhou, and Geng Changqing has also become the leader of horse thieves in Hexi, and he is as famous as Lou Fan, the wolf king of the Western Regions.

Geng Changqing didn't want to have anything to do with Geng Hou, so that the Geng family could become a Jiangmen family without any stain and step into the famous family in Hexi.

For some reason, he erased all traces of his life, and even changed his surname, but he didn't want Geng Hou to use the special contact information they left back then to find him.

Geng Changqing listened to Geng Hou and said with a frown: "This matter has nothing to do with you, right?" Your eldest brother and third brother, one is powerful and the other is greedy for money, which is not a good thing. Pei Min is also looking for trouble with them, what does it have to do with you? Guazhou is a rare peaceful place in Hexi, and Pei Min is not a stupid person, it is impossible not to see it, this is your credit. ”

"But he's going to crack down on bandits! He wants to purge all horse thieves in the west of the river! ”

Geng Hou looked at his brother and said, "I understand my brother's good intentions, but we are brothers, let me sit back and watch Pei Min deal with you, I can't do it." Pei Min is not a simple character, if he really wants to control the Hexi Army, will there be a place for his brother in Hexi? ”

"Brother, you have paid too much for me and my mother, no matter what, I can't let Pei Min threaten you......"

Looking at the categorical Geng Hou, Geng Changqing let out a long laugh, his voice was terrifying, and said: "Then our brother will have a good meeting with the number one general of our dynasty for a while, and see if he is a vain name, or has real talent and learning." ”

**********

Hexi Guzang, Jiedu Embassy.

A carrier pigeon landed in front of the hall full of green grass, Wang Wei carefully grasped the carrier pigeon in his hand, and delicately untied a silk scroll from the pigeon's feet.

Wang Wei's hands are white and tender, the palms are smooth and smooth, and the fingers are slender and dexterous, which can be described as slender jade hands.

It's a pity that such a beautiful hand, but the owner is a man, which is really embarrassing.

Although the owner of the hand is also beautiful......

In accordance with the agreement with Pei Min, Wang Wei came to Hexi to serve and serve.

Pei Min got his wish and had a beautiful and eye-catching secretary, entrusting all the complicated trivial affairs.

As he expected, Wang Wei looks like a woman, and his heart is as delicate as a woman. In trivial matters, he has enough patience to sort them out.

With the ability of the secretary, Wang Wei wants to throw off the prime ministers such as Zhang Jiuling and Li Linfu for several streets.

Wang Wei gently unfolded the silk scroll, glanced at it, walked to the inner hall, and said, "Pei Shuai!" This is the news from Captain Wang, saying that Geng Hou's whereabouts are strange, which is indeed extremely unusual. It's just that the other party is extremely cautious, and every time he travels, he will arrange a follow-up response to prevent someone from following. He was hindered by Hou Ying, unable to get close, and did not know where Geng Hou was going. ”

Captain Wang is Wang Xiaobai, he is not good at leading troops to fight, but he is good at concealment and tracking, and he has a good kung fu, especially in the next game, climbing over the wall to enter the room, such as probing the bag to get things.

Wang Xiaobai's main task was to protect his safety, but he was confident that if someone really hurt him, Wang Xiaobai's presence or absence would not change the situation.

It was Pei Min who preferred to use him to find out information.

When learning about the resume of the six governors of Hexi, Pei Min sensitively noticed something unusual.

Geng Hou does not act like a person who can lead soldiers, he despises soldiers and despises soldiers, beats and scolds his generals at every turn, fierce and violent, but he is such a person, Ren climbed to the high position of the governor step by step with his military exploits.

The most surprising thing is that the more he becomes an official, the more he becomes more and more fierce, which is very abnormal.

gave Pei Min a feeling of self-respect, but it didn't look like it!

After Geng Hou became the governor, Guazhou was surprisingly peaceful, and he really raised his own respect, so this situation would not occur.

Zhang Jiuling put forward a conjecture about this.

Just when Pei Min showed him the Genghou dossier, Zhang Jiuling pondered for a long time and said four words: "Raise officials to protect themselves!" ”

Kou raises officials, not officials!

This idea made Pei Min instantly enlightened, and arranged for Wang Xiaobai to stare at Geng Hou as soon as possible.

Looking at Wang Wei, who was like a flower and jade, Pei Min smiled and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Wei replied shyly: "Geng Hou is the Metropolitan Governor, his whereabouts are so weird, it is not normal, and this can also explain a lot of things." ”

"Not bad!" Pei Min tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Let Jiuling be right, this Geng Hou was raised by thieves." I have always estimated that something is abnormal, it is normal for horse thieves to be erratic, but there is no trace of horse thieves on this side of Hexi, it turns out that they are hiding under their noses, playing the dark under the lights. Under the protection of the governor, when he put on his clothes, he was a thief, but when he changed his clothes, he was a soldier. They don't move Guazhou because rabbits don't eat the grass around the nest. They live in Guazhou, and there is no reason to rob Guazhou! ”
