In Chang'an, the elder Gao Jian received the battle situation in Xizhou from time to time sent by the eldest grandson Wuji. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Changsun Wuji and Cheng Zhijie were appointed by the emperor to stay in Chang'an, and the prince went to merge the state and the country, Chang'an is these two people presiding over government affairs, it stands to reason that there is no need for the eldest grandson to let Gao Jian know everything.

But the protagonist of Xizhou is Gao Jian's grandson - Xizhou don't drive Gao Jun, he is a native of Gao Fu, and the eldest grandson Wuji notifies Gao Jian of everything, which not only respects Gao Ge Lao, but also means that he can share some of the pressure.

The war in Goryeo started much more smoothly than last year. After the three fortified cities of Liaozhou, Jian'an, and Anshi were incorporated into the Tang Dynasty, the Goryeo defense line retreated directly to the east of Yalushui. At present, the Tang army has reached Wugucheng, the imperial camp is set up on Phoenix Mountain, the vanguard Xue Li waved his army to make a gesture of crossing the river in Bozhuocheng, Li Daozong is in Daxingcheng, and although Goryeo has raised troops to set up defenses in Baima, Liaozhu, Qianchuan, Guanfu, and Gucheng on the east bank of Yalushui, none of these places has the same dangerous terrain as Liaozhou and Anshi, and the situation is very optimistic.

On the contrary, it seems that the battle situation in the direction of Xizhou Qiuzi is more touching.

Elder Ge knew that it was not easy for Lord Changsun to do this, not only did he not explicitly oppose Gao Jun's actions, but also raised some soldiers and horses from Yazhou, Liangzhou and other places to Xizhou.

But Gao Jun can only win in Xizhou, not lose. In case of defeat in the west, then the situation in the entire northwest of the Tang Dynasty will be out of control. The elder knew that the eldest grandson would not make a loss-making deal. Xizhou won, and the eldest grandson has the icing on the cake and the merit of strategizing; If Xizhou loses, then the eldest grandson will also say that without his support, Xizhou will lose even more.

Therefore, the one who is most worried and worried about the war in Xizhou is really the old man and the thrifty.

Guo Xiaoke seemed to know what the elder was thinking, and in addition to presenting the chapter to Chang'an, there was also a private letter to the elder Ge. In the letter, he said that the 5,000 soldiers and horses in Xizhou have not moved.

This sentence is very learned, which shows that everything in Xizhou is under control and has not yet shaken the fundamentals. After Gao Jian saw it, he had been down-to-earth for half a month.

But the battle report on the Qiuzi side always said that the two sides were confronting each other, and the elder Ge was unpleasant. Now he is also gambling, betting on Gao Jun's success. Then the entire high mansion will once again be bathed in great glory, and there will be no one to match it in their rank and rank.

If he loses, then he will also go to Xizhou and clean up the mess for Gao Jun. In other words, it is to pay the entire Gao Mansion to Gao Jun to compensate.

In July of the 19th year of Zhenguan, the earthquake in Jingshi, the palace and various squares in Chang'an were felt, but no houses collapsed. On the day of Dingmao in July, the Lingzhou earthquake was like thunder, crushing and killing more than 50 people. Gao Jian's heart was shocked, and he didn't know if this had any sense of the battle situation on the Xizhou side.

The elder discussed with the eldest grandson, and he went to Lingzhou to help the victims and calm the people's hearts.

The eldest grandson said politely, there are three generations of ancestors and grandchildren of Gaofu, one in Xizhou and one in Qianzhou, you are so old and still working hard for the country to go to Lingzhou, I really can't help but admire.

Ge Laoxin said, I have to do this, take my old bones. In the event of a defeat in Xizhou, I hope Your Majesty will be able to appreciate my painstaking efforts. I don't know why, this time the elder moved the deity, but he didn't blame Gao Jun at all - maybe the days of the Gao Mansion have passed for too long!

So after settling down the affairs of the house, the old man set off for Lingzhou. The eldest grandson allocated 200,000 yuan of disaster relief silver, and the guards were strict, and hundreds or dozens of carts of craftsmen collected from all walks of life in Chang'an were followed behind, and they were discharged two or three miles away from the gate of Chang'an.

Before leaving Beijing, Ge Lao also asked about several granddaughters-in-law in Shanyang Town, the news that Liu Yuru and Cui Yan were pregnant was good news, they didn't come to Chang'an to live and raise their babies, but they heard that the fifth daughter-in-law Cui Shi rushed over to take care of them, so he had nothing to worry about.

But he still asked the sixth child to take the time to visit them in Shanyang Town and bring some tonics.

Chang'an to Lingzhou thousands of miles away, across the Wei River, two hundred miles away is Jingzhou, Jingzhou Thorn Shi heard that the old Gao Ge arrived, led the city officials to welcome out thirty miles. Ge Lao only rested in Jingzhou for a while, and then continued on the road.

Jingzhou Thorn Shi and Ge Lao mentioned one thing: the Sage Cliff of Taihang Mountain suddenly roared in the middle of the night, and the local warlock divined and said, "There is Kou Zhi." Ge Lao comforted, "Right now, the east and west of the Tang Dynasty are swaying, which is an unprecedented feat in the past." Do not spread false rumors and shake people's hearts. ”

But on the way, Ge Lao was worried again, and there was Kou Zhi...... Is it from the east or from the west?

Five days after coming out of Jingzhou, Ge Lao arrived in Lingzhou by car. The situation was not as serious as reported, and the sturdy city houses in Lingzhou City were fine, and only the ordinary adobe houses in the households collapsed. Moreover, his subordinates reported that there was water among the fifty people who were crushed to death, and even the five or six people who died of old age in those days were counted in the catastrophe.

Gao Jian didn't plan to delve into it, so he personally led people to the city to comfort him, and sent the lost gifts to Chang'an, and the relief silver was also distributed like data. He also instructed the Lingzhou government to mobilize craftsmen and civilian servants to rebuild their homes, and for a while there was a situation in Lingzhou City waiting to be rebuilt.

On this day, when a craftsman in the city demolished a collapsed house, he dug out a square stone under the ruins, and there was clear handwriting engraved on it, so he flew to the old pavilion layer by layer.

Gao Jian went to the scene to see that this ashlar stone was two feet wide, half a foot thick, and four or five feet long, and the handwriting was placed on the bright side, and the craftsman said that it was dug out from under the west gable of the family.

The elder of the pavilion stepped forward to recognize, and sure enough, the handwriting was very clear, "The mountain has stones, the stones have jade, the jade has flaws, and the flaws are resting." The accompanying historian recorded this momentous discovery word by word, which made the elder very uncomfortable, but he could not stop it.

Some people say that maybe it is because of this supernatural stone, the earthquake in Lingzhou is to make it reappear in the world. Then the handwriting on the stone must have some great calling.

After returning from the scene, Ge Lao still cared about the handwriting on this ashlar, the stone was dug out from under the west gable, would it allude to Xizhou? The name of Gao Jun's generation happens to be from the word "mountain", and this jade character ...... He suddenly thought of Liu Yuru. Next, Ge Lao didn't dare to think about it anymore.

After dinner, he quietly asked his cronies to find a well-known Fang Shi in Lingzhou and asked him to do the math.

Fang Shi took the hexagram seriously, and there were words in his mouth, "The five elements are said: good to attack, light the people, decorate the city, and invade the border, then Jin does not follow the revolution, that is, there will be demon poems and false rumors, I am afraid that Lingzhou will have the evil of caterpillars, and the cause is Jin Kemu." ”

After the elder sent the priest away, he made another mistake.

The word on the stone says, "The jade is flawed", doesn't it mean that Liu Yuru's identity is a matter? She turned out to be a person from the palace of the Marquis of Chen Guo, and she once had the status of a prisoner, which is the flaw on the jade.

Whose Hugh is "Flawed Rest" talking about? Does it indicate that Gao Jun will take a break from everything because of Liu Yuru, or should she be divorced because of Liu Yuru's flaws in her past identity? Then the appearance of this stone is really a hint!
