On July 13 of the autumn of the second year of Yanhe, the Han army led by Zhang Yue arrived here before the evening and immediately camped under the city.

An army of more than 15,000 men, together with horses and livestock, numbered hundreds of thousands.

In addition, there are thousands of oxen and horses of various colors carrying baggage, ordnance, grain and grass.

The entire Lishi City has become very lively because of it.

Even when night falls, the noise and lights of the city are still as good as day.

Zhang Yue didn't even have time to take off the armor he was wearing, and his retainer Tian Shui came to report: "My lord, there is a letter holding a book that asks Zhang Gong's token messenger to ask to see ......."

"Zhang Anshi?" Zhang Yue was puzzled for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Please!" ”

Not long after, a scribe in Tsing Yi was brought to Zhang Yue.

The visitor is still an acquaintance, Zhang Anshi's guest Guo Ying, Zhang Yue has seen Zhang Anshi a few times, and has some impressions, it seems that many of Zhang Anshi's private affairs are entrusted to Guo Ying.

"Villain Guo Ying, meet the servant Zhonggong!" Guo Ying bowed very respectfully in front of Zhang Yue, and then took out a letter of worship from his arms and presented it to Zhang Yue: "The villain lord ordered the villain to say hello to the waiter......"

"Brother Anshi's love!" Zhang Yue took the post, opened it, and replied with a smile: "Please also thank you on my behalf, just say: The little brother is not talented, and he dares to work for his brother, and he will definitely visit him when he returns to Beijing to show his respect......"

Guo Ying listened, and immediately bowed his head and bent down to show respect.

Zhang Yue took advantage of the light to take a closer look at the prayer post in his hand.

"Shang Shu ordered the cattle and horses, Zhang Anshiton, and bowed again......"

"Serve in the foot: I heard that Your Excellency pouted the Northern Expedition, broke thousands of miles away, sealed the wolf Juxu Mountain on the bank of Yuwu Water, and congratulated Your Excellency ......" Zhang Yue read the words on the prayer post softly, and gradually closed his voice as he read it, but his eyes gradually radiated a little brilliance.

Putting down the post, Zhang Yue laughed playfully.

"Before Shang Shuling came, what instructions did he have?" Zhang Yue asked Guo Ying.

When the latter heard this, he immediately replied: "The lord of my family entrusted the villain to apologize to the servant of the prince: Now that the affairs are disturbed, please ask Ming Gonghai to ......."

In the eyes of others, these words are undoubtedly very abrupt, but Zhang Yue, who read the post, understood the meaning, so he said: "Shangshu Ling is a painstaking man, I know it......"

"Please sit down ......" Zhang Yue solemnly invited Guo Ying to the guest seat, like entertaining a real guest, not like a messenger who had received a friend before, politely but maintaining a proper and sufficient distance.

After the other party sat down, Zhang Yue also sat down.

"Shang Shuling said in the post that the details of Hexi Xiqiang and Yue's righteous obedience are unknown......" Zhang Yue smiled and pretended to ask casually.

When Guo Ying heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "Qi Ming Gong, my lord specially ordered the villain to bring relevant notes and reports this time, ......"

As he spoke, he took out a book bound on white paper from his bosom.

The book is very thick, Zhang Yue took it and held it in his hand, it is estimated that there are nearly 100 pages.

Zhang Yue opened the book and flipped through it carefully.

Basically, they are copied from the relevant reports of Lantai and the Prime Minister's Office.

It is the report of the counties of Hexi, the generals of the second division, and the parties of Lingju, Longxi, and Beidi on the Xihai and Hehuang.

Zhang Yue took some time to read it, then closed the book and returned it to the other party.

"Does the servant have a high opinion?" Guo Ying looked at Zhang Yue in a daze, full of anticipation.

He knew that the person in front of him was a big man who had proved his command ability and ability to lead the army to the world with real achievements!

The first time he led the troops, he created the great cause of an expedition of thousands of miles, going deep into the hinterland of the enemy's territory, seizing its dragon city, and breaking its holy land.

Although many people know that he took advantage of the absence of the main force of the Huns and succeeded in a sneak attack.

But......

It's already remarkable, it's remarkable!

Not to mention, he actually destroyed, surrendered, routed, and broke several times the number of enemies his army, and also captured three or four times the total strength of his army.

In today's world, no one dares to be unconvinced, and then question the ability of Zhang Chiyou to lead the troops in front of him.

There are even people who have compared it to the same young, proud, and powerful Captain Yao Yao.

In Guo Ying's view, such a character must have a high level of insight, even earth-shattering insight.

But Zhang Yue just laughed and gently tapped on the table.

Zhang Anshi's greetings, as well as Guo Ying's attitude and tone of speech, all hinted at something to him.

Otherwise, why should this kind of private worship and correspondence be so grand in words? Or even by words like Foot, Your Excellency, and Ming Gong?

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Zhang Yue's eyes looked at Guo Ying, and then looked inside and outside the tent, and finally raised the teacup with a smile, and took a sip of the freshly brewed ginger tea, which was spicy and fragrant, stimulating the taste buds and cheering him up, and then smiled: "Since Shang Shuling wants to consult, then of course the contemptible person is willing to talk about it in private with a humble opinion......"

Obviously, Zhang Anshi's arrangement must have a reason.

And for this reason, I am afraid that it is inseparable from Li Guangli.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yue can actually understand.

If Zhang Yue interfered in Li Guangli's affairs with great arrogance, he even directly and openly discussed and suggested Hexi affairs.

In the eyes of Li Guangli and his younger brother, relatives and friends, it was naked finger-pointing and wanton intervention.

Once this happens, I am afraid that Zhang Yue has not returned to Chang'an, and Chang'an City will be fried.

Even in the afterlife, those who do this will be disliked, hated, and even torn apart.

What emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, and he eats radishes and worries lightly, all of which describe the second goods who like to command and meddle in other people's affairs.

How many neighbors scolded and quarreled, and neighbors fought against each other, all because of this.

When it came to the main altar of the high-level, similar taboos not only did not decrease, but became more and more intense, more sensitive, and more serious.

Hugh said that he was meddling and interfering in other people's affairs.

Even if you don't say a word well, you may be hated!

After all, the status of people at the level of Zhang Yue and Li Guangli, every word and deed will be interpreted, analyzed, researched and even made up by others.

After all, the people who are in the game and hold great power are not the people who eat melons.

The people who eat melons are happy, no one cares, and it can't affect the big people at the top.

And the characters at the top level will definitely radiate and influence other people! It is interpreted by the outside world as a question and attack on a certain party!

This is why Zhengzhi characters like to speak official dialect and clichés the most, and they are doing Tai Chi every day.

Not willingly, but unwillingly.

If you speak too straight, you will be black.

But Zhang Yue can't ignore this matter.

This is not a private matter, and it is not only related to the four counties of Hexi, but it can even be said that it affects the whole body, directly affects and radiates the world.
