Green and fragrant,

Two or two mandarin ducks are small.

But the entertainment spring is long,

Regardless of the early autumn wind.

—————————————— Xue Tao "Mandarin Duck Grass"

Gaoyue Huating won a great victory, annihilating no less than 20,000 elites in Xifan, and the entire Jing and Long regions were secured.

The news followed the post station back to the middle road, and the relay of one horse after another was sent directly to the Lingao Station in Chang'an, Beijing, and then entered the Jinguang Gate, and then to the Duting Station in Beijing, and finally arrived in front of the palace gate of Daming Palace.

When the heavy palace gate opened at dawn, "The northwest has won a great victory, the northwest has won a great victory!" The cry immediately spread throughout the palaces in the east.

In the Liangyi Palace, the emperor who was resting in front of Empress Zhaode's dining hall couldn't help but let out a long cry when he heard this, and tears rolled down his eyes.

After so many days, the northwest finally came with satisfactory results.

I am very happy with the result!

"I'm going to wait for Lubu in the third year of high school!" In the morning, in the cold and awe-inspiring Zichen Palace, the emperor looked excited, as if he had really fought a battle between Huating and Xifan, and achieved a smooth victory, and said to the prime ministers Li Yu, Jia Tan, and Liu Congyi who came to congratulate.

"The dew cloth of Huating should be there soon." Although Li Mi was very calm on the surface, he was actually ecstatic in his heart, and replied in front of Jia Tan, which means that the emperor, don't worry, don't worry, wait until Lubu, who reported the victory, came to Daming Palace, and I came to read it in person, and the emperor, you just sit on the rope bed and listen to it.

"No, no!" The emperor flicked his sleeves, "I don't want the secretary of the third year of high school to write anything about Lubu, I want the third year of high school to attach a piece of paper, and tell me in detail how to break the situation of the thieves in the West - no, no!" The envoy was sent to Huating to summon the third year of high school to Beijing, and I wanted to listen to him in the palace in person. ”

"Holy Lord can't, the affairs in the northwest are still blazing, and after Jing and Long are quiet, it's not too late to summon Gao Da Yin into Beijing." Several prime ministers hurriedly begged the emperor to "not lose his temper".

"Joking, joking." At this time, the emperor calmed down a little from the ecstasy, and then said, "I am still in Jiannan and Yanzhou, but let the lieutenant envoy go, and tell the senior not to forget to attach a piece ......of paper to the Lu Bu."

In the Yintaimen Hanlin Academy, the envoy sent by the emperor knocked on the door and hurriedly shook the crisp bell, saying that the emperor was going to send a consolation book to Feng Xiang Yin and Yining Dingwu Jiedu Gao Yue.

This is the third time in a day.

Because he is not upright today, Zheng Qi, who is about to clean up and return to the first, looks at the ancient acacia branches that are bent by the snow melancholy, just now before he returns, he just went to the "Yuansui Edict Grass Speech Room" in the courtyard (the room where the Hanlin Academy made the draft edict for the record) to check the information, and continue to figure out the writing of the official document format - Zheng Qi's character has always been serious, and even more so when he enters the Hanlin Academy, he always wants to keep improving.

But after the news of the great victory of the Northwest Huating reached the Scholars' Academy, Zheng Qi had no intention of looking at it anymore, he paced out of the word strategy room under the Xuan Corridor, stepped on the stone slab piled with snow, and came to the big locust tree in the west corner of the courtyard, stunned.

"Civilization." At this moment, Lu Zhen and Wei Cigong came out to receive the order, ready to immediately go to write a consolation book on behalf of the emperor, and when they saw Zheng Qi with their backs to them, they couldn't help but say, "Civilization is just straight, out of the small samadhi, why are you wandering under the tree and sighing?" ”

Originally, the Hanlin bachelors were straight in the Daming Palace, "the hemp system should be written all night" (Yuan Zhen's "Fenghe Zhexi Doctor Li Deyu Tells the Dream"), the work is very heavy and painful, when there is something to do in the country's border, the burden is doubled, so the Hanlin scholars joke with each other, "every time they go straight out, they call each other 'small samadhi'; (Li Zhao's "Hanlin Chronicles") - no wonder Lu Zhen, as a bachelor of Hanlin, broke down in tears when he talked about his mother Wei Shi in front of Gao Yue before.

"Respectfully, from Zhou, I want to be discharged." Zheng Qi turned around, his thin face was full of determination, "I don't want to stay here anymore to be a minister, I want to be discharged from the hospital." ”

At this time, Lu Zhen and Wei Cigong were stunned, and they didn't answer the envoy for a long time......

Within half a month, two other great victories came one after another.

Xichuan Jiedu made Wei Gao set up an ambush in the old Taoguan, broke the tens of thousands of soldiers in the invading South Xifan Road, beheaded 4,000, and captured more than 1,000 people.

After Wei Gao moved into the city of Shudu, he changed the leniency of Li Sheng's town guard, and took strict measures to merge the Xishan Army and the Shudu Military Government troops into one.

At this time, the Xishan Army was indeed unable to be arrogant, and the backbone general Han Tan was the envoy of the festival in Xia Suiyin, and Zhang Hao and Wang Shengluan entered the Shence Army as their posts, and now they followed Gao Chongwen to Yanzhou City, so after being beheaded by Wei Gao more than ten unruly generals, the whole army could only submit to Wei Gao's command.

Later, Wei Gao made a bold move, and also implemented the separation system of generals and archers in Xichuan, the land in Xichuan was fertile, and the archers were placed in the camp in the West Mountain, and the people did not disturb each other, but Wei Gao was a little different from Gao Yue, he gave the names of each battalion, all of them were full of "Wei's gorgeous style", the infantry was called "Baoyi", "Muyi", etc., the crossbowmen were "crossbows", "across the mountain", and the cavalry was "Flying Star", "Eagle Strike", "Fenglei", etc., and at the same time recruited the barbarians of Pi and Ya to enlist in the army, called "Qiong Ya children", with more than 10,000 soldiers, In the mountains, it is like walking on the ground, so that the flying standard, the wooden crossbow, the machete, and the rattan card are invincible.

However, Wei Gao did not only do superficial work, after he took over the military administration of Xichuan, he soon secretly contacted the Qiang and barbarian tribes in the middle of the eastern part of Jiannan Province in Tang Fan. This group of barbarians, known as the "Eight Kingdoms of the West Mountain", are all small countries swaying between the West and the Tang Dynasty, Wei Gao first sent the best Shu brocade horses to the two small countries of Dongnu and Qingyuan, and successfully bribed the lords of the two countries, and when the West Fan entered the Kou, the two countries sent troops as the vanguard, deliberately led the West Fan deep into the mountains and mountains of the West Mountain, and reported to Wei Gao - Wei Gao, who heard the news, led three thousand Xishan disciples to set up a formation at the Taoguan Pass, and let his soldiers and horses make Wang Youdao and the judge Liu Pi lead five thousand elite Qiongya children to ambush the valley on the side of the pass, When the Western Tibetan army arrived at the pass, the servants of the two countries of Dongnu and Qingyuan passed first, and then the Western Tibetan soldiers saw Wei Gao's banner of Jingjie in the old Taoguan, and hurriedly came forward to fight, Wei Gao waved the red flag, and five thousand Qiongya disciples rushed down from the valley on both sides like a tiger, and cut the Western Tibetan army with a long snake into several sections, and the soldiers were beheaded thousands, and there were thousands of people who fell off the cliff.

As for the more than 1,000 captured soldiers, Wei Gao was also unceremonious, cutting off their hands on the way to the triumphant Shudu, and throwing them into the turbulent deep valley one by one, leaving only fifty young ones to be sent to Jingshi Xianjie, "Today I will ask you to know Wei Lang." ”

Since then, whether it is Victoria and Songzhou in the west of the Shu capital, or Xifan and the barbarians in the southwest of Qiongya, they are all afraid of Wei Gao like a god.
