On the straight Qin Straight Road, there were several carriages, more than 300 soldiers and guards, and the chariots and horses were Xiao Xiao. The whole road is more than ten zhang wide, from Xunyi to the north bank of the Yellow River in the grassland. The roads are overgrown with weeds, and they are sparsely populated after leaving the county.

"Captain Guo led extraordinary troops, although there were 300 people under his command, all of them were like wolves and tigers." Zhang said that he sat in the carriage and said to Guo Li with a smile.

"Why didn't the prime minister take Zuo Jinwuwei to quell the rebellion, I'm afraid it would be too much to bring only 300 people."

The emperor asked Zhang Shuo to take the army of Zuo Jin Wuwei to quell the rebellion, but Zhang Shuo rejected the emperor's suggestion and proposed to bring only 300 people under Guo Li's command. Since ancient times, there are not too many soldiers in wars, and there are not enough generals, who knows that Zhang said that he only brought 300 people to quell the rebellion.

"Captain Guo, if the old man is to test you with this question, how should you answer?" Zhang said with a smile. I have heard Zhang say that he is jealous, and Yao Chong is good at controlling. has been with Zhang Shuo for several days, but he has never found out who Zhang Shuo is jealous of.

"If you lead the soldiers in a humble position, you will naturally know how many soldiers will know it. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. What's more, military affairs are better than nothing to lose. ”

That's not true. Kang Yuanzi has no good time, place and people, so why do you need to send Jin Wuwei? Shuozhou border pass 60,000 horses are enough. ”

"When talking about the sky, at this moment, the Tang Dynasty is famous, and the grassland tribes are frightened. In terms of geographical advantages, Kang Yuanzi relied on nothing more than Gyeongju and the six states of Lu, Li, She, Sai, Yi and Qi under the jurisdiction of Kang Zhibin north of Gyeongju, south of Lingzhou, north of Liangzhou, west of Shangjun, and less than a thousand miles east of Helan Mountain. On peace, since Kang Zhibin returned to Shun Na, the Tang Dynasty has allowed the autonomy of the six states, although there is the disaster of Kang Zhibin's rebellion, it has also won the hearts of the people. ”

"Tiele nine surnames are attached, among which Hui Su, Baye Gu, Tongluo, Servant Gu, A Fall, Fei is a big family, as well as Kudi, Anrong, Siyi and many other small clans, although there are not many people, it is difficult to permanently solve once and for all. It's important to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. The land of the six states can't let them stay any longer, otherwise there will be people who will rebel next time. ”

"The Hui tribe is the head of the nine surnames of Tiele, why did they follow Kang Yuanzi to rebel?"

"The Uighurs, also known as the Uighurs, are now mostly concentrated in the northern and southern regions of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, and the Uighurs in the land of the Six Prefectures have long since broken away from the Uighurs."

"Humble, taught." Guo Li said.

"Ziyi's words are too modest, and this trip must not be careless." Zhang Shuo reminded.

Hearing that Zhang said that he called himself a cousin, Guo Li said in fear: "The prime minister is in love, Guo Li doesn't dare to accept it." ”

Zhang said and laughed, "Ziyi is the pillar of the country, is it okay to have a good relationship with Ziyi today?" ”

Guo Li no longer shirked: "It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful, and go to inquire about military affairs with humility." With that, he got out of the carriage and rode to the front of the line.

…

Before leaving, Zhang said that he heard that Wang Shouzhen was going home, so he ordered Wang Shouzhen to return to Liangzhou as soon as possible, guard the gate, and strictly prevent Kang Yuanzi from escaping south. Poor Guo Li's eldest brother, just a few days after returning home, he was driven by official business to return to Liangzhou.

"What? Kang Yuanzi rebelled? Why do you need the prime minister to lead the troops, just give an order, and Gyeongju is at your fingertips. General Liangzhou said.

After listening to General Liangzhou's words, Wang Shouzhen was speechless. If it's really that easy, why should the prime minister go out in person? In the third year of Kaiyuan, the Eastern Turks died of the Mosi Khan, and the nine surnamed Tiele in the territory rebelled, and Kang Zhibin led his troops and some Turks to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. The court divided the people who belonged to him in the six states between Lingzhou and Liangzhou in order to appease these foreigners. Avoid the scourge of the grasslands. Even if troops were sent to suppress Kang Yuanzi, there would still be Ma Yuanzi, Zhao Yuanzi, and Li Yuanzi who would rebel. The imperial court wanted to take advantage of this to completely naturalize the attached clansmen once and for all.

"It's better to guard Liangzhou well than anything else, in case Kang Yuanzi comes, the general will have the opportunity to show his skills." Wang Shouzhen didn't want to say so much, some people could get through it at all, and some people couldn't pull it back with nine cows. Undoubtedly, General Liangzhou belongs to the latter category.

……

The place in the front yard near the corner of the wall has been dug up. Baguio, Chunshui, and Xia Jiang were drenched in sweat, and there were various farm tools around them.

"Miss, what's the use of digging up such a big place? Raising flowers is too small. Chunshui complained. Since Captain Guo went out to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, the young lady began to ponder the yard at home. The three girls played for two days, and finally managed to dig up a piece of the fart area.

"Xianggong likes chili peppers, so I managed to get some chili seeds and plant them here next spring." The white skirt worn by Baguio stained a few drops of dirt. Xia Jiang saw it and said, "Miss, your clothes are dirty." Baguio shook his head, "Dig a little bigger, you can have a little more."

So, the three girls took the farm tools and began to work hard.

The housekeeper Gou Desheng and the handyman went to the farm and returned tomorrow.

The dowry given by Baguio's mother turned out to be a farm with thousands of acres of land. Seeing that the autumn harvest was coming, Baguio sent Gou Desheng to see what was going on.

…..

Outside the city of Lingzhou, Lingzhou General Meng Kai and Shuo Fang Jingluo General Tan Podi led many officials to greet Shuo Fang's envoy Zhang said. There was a young man standing next to Tan Po, who turned out to be Kudi Shuowang. The boy and his younger brother returned to Lingzhou, and it took several days of hard work. Tan Po knew that Kudi Shuowang's father, Kudi Qiu, was the patriarch of the Kudi family. Seeing that the young man was in great trouble, it happened that Shuo Fang Jiedu had recently come to patrol the border to quell the rebellion, and brought it with him for easy questioning.

Zhang said that the party had only arrived in Lingzhou at dusk, and on the way, Guo Li had already understood the distribution of force in the entire Shuofang region. Shuofang Jiedu envoy controlled all the soldiers and horses north of Gyeongju and west of Taiyuan Province. General Lingzhou commanded 60,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Lingzhou City; To the east of the Yellow River, the cavalry general led 8,000 people in the Tibetan military cave. two thousand horses; Anyuan City had 7,000 soldiers and 3,000 horses. Seven thousand soldiers and two thousand horses were surrendered to the west. There were 6,000 soldiers and 2,000 horses. There were 7,000 soldiers and 2,000 horses in the east. Zhenwu had 9,000 soldiers and 2,000 horses. After calculation, Shuo Fang Jiedu made more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Even if you don't count the soldiers and horses stationed in the northern capital of the grassland, there are at least 100,000 people.

No wonder Zhang said that he would not lead the army of Zuo Jin Wuwei to come.

"Who is this teenager?" Zhang said that he saw the abnormality of the teenager.

"Yu Dashuai, this time my father is Ku Diqiu, and I don't want to be killed by Kang Yuanzi by rebellion." Meng Kai replied.

"Who else is in the house?"

"And a ten-year-old brother."

"Give the child to Captain Guo, and the old man will ask later."

"Yes!"

A soldier had already brought Kudi Shuowang to Guo Li, Guo Li looked at Kudi Shuowang, who was still a child and his parents were dead. Thinking about his general situation with him, he gave birth to compassion and handed it over to Zhou Peng to take care of.

After entering the city, General Lingzhou set up a banquet. Zhang Shuo asked about the military situation, Meng Kai said: "The four states south of Gyeongju have all surrendered to Kang Yuanzi, and only Yi and Qi have not rebelled. ”

"Who is in charge of the two states?"

"Yi and Qi are both the territory of the Servant Bone Clan. The patriarch of the Servant Bone Clan, Servant Bone Wall, brought a letter saying that he was willing to work with the Tang Dynasty to quell the rebellion against Kang Yuanzi. ”

"Servant bones? It seems that there are still people who understand in the Tiele tribe. What is the current trend of Kang Yuanzi? ”

"Back to Dashuai, Kang Yuanzi has taken the land of the four states and has not made any moves, and is currently occupied by the rebellion in the land of the five states, including Gyeongju."

Guo Li understood, it turned out that Kang Yuanzi now only has five county seats. With Lingzhou soldiers and horses, isn't it a cannon to fight mosquitoes? No wonder these marshals and generals still have the heart to drink and eat.

"Guo Li!" Zhang said.

"Humble duty!" Guo Li clasped his hands into fists and bowed.

"This commander ordered you to be the vanguard of the rebellion, and led 300 elite soldiers of the Liangshan Regiment of Zuojin Wuwei, and 5,000 of the Lingzhou border army to quell the rebellion."

"Yes." Guo Li received the order.
