Governor Guo of Xizhou stood at the gate of the courtyard, followed by several guards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He stood there, looking at the scene in the courtyard, with only a few women accompanying the mother-in-law who was cooking, and the atmosphere was extremely wrong. When Liu Yuru and the others saw it, they were busy settling down their mother-in-law who was not very emotionally stable and went back to the house, and then came up together to greet Guo Dudu.

Guo Xiaoke said to Cui's family, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I don't know if I'm coming?" Can you have a meal or drink? ”

Cui Shi smiled and said, "When the governor arrives at home, how can there be no wine and rice?" But looking at the kitchen again, because the mother-in-law was frightened by life and death, she was still hiding in the porter and sobbing, and the meal could no longer be cooked. All the meals were half-done, and none of them were immediately served on the table.

Cui's was busy inviting Guo Xiaoke to the house, Liu Yuru, Xie Jinlian, and Lirong hurriedly went to the kitchen to continue to do it, and Fan Ying, Siqing, Li Wanqing, and Cui Yan stopped going in to make trouble.

As soon as Gao Xianxing returned to the house, he heard the movement outside the courtyard gate, he quickly calmed down his emotions, and then looked at the back of his right hand holding the knife, and he didn't know where to cut a bloody wound. He only had time to wipe it with his hand, and then ran out to greet Guo Xiaoke.

Gao Jun also hurriedly dressed up and came out to meet him, Guo Xiaoke looked at Gao Jun carefully, "The affairs of Jiannan Dao have been taken care of?" Gao Jun said, "I just had some eyebrows." No, I just got home, and I only slept halfway through the night's sleep, Uncle Guo, you are here. ”

At this time, Liu Yuru and the others had already brought the meals to the table one after another, and everyone was seated. Guo Xiaoke had something to do, and after a few words of greeting, he said, "Other people's affairs are always someone else's, and our Xizhou affairs can't be delayed any longer!" ”

He explained the situation in the direction of Qiuzi to Gao Xianxing and Gao Jun, and said to Gao Jun, "I want to use troops in the direction of Qiuzi, but there are not many people who can afford to stand up for the façade." You can't be idle when you come back, because you're the Silk Road Supervisor! ”

Gao Jun said, that's natural, and subduing Qiuzi is exactly what I've been thinking about for a long time. Qiuzi is not convinced, Yanqi is always unstable, who let these two places occupy the Silk Road, I must be duty-bound.

Guo Xiaoke beckoned to the guards, took out the map of Xizhou and unfolded it during the banquet, and asked Gao Jun for his strategy. Gao Jun leaned over to look at it, Guo Xiaoke introduced, "The south and north roads of the Silk Road are not as stable as the direction of the Baiyang River, and this turtle will not be able to be subdued." I'm afraid that if it's too late, Chang'an will stop doing it! ”

The Silk Road is officially said to have two routes, north and south, that is, two roads passing through the southern and northern edges of the Tarim Basin. In fact, since Gao Jun established a pasture in the direction of the Baiyang River, the direction of the Baiyang River has virtually become the North Road, and the original North Road has become the "Middle Road".

On the Middle Road, Yanqi at the beginning and Qiuzi now have had or are having a side effect on the smooth flow of the Silk Road. Although Shule and Khotan on the southern road maintained good relations with the Tang Dynasty, Hu Shang came from the east of the Green Ridge and reached Yangguan after passing there, which was not as close as the middle road, and it took more than 2,000 miles to detour.

Taking into account many factors, the north road where the Baiyang River is located has become the safest trade route. After the mainland merchants arrived in Xizhou from Yumen Pass, there were guards and capture points established by Xizhou along the way from Xizhou to Baiyang River Ranch.

The Luntai County where Yue Qinghe is seated and the Baiyang Ranch where Lu Shanglou and Feng Zheng are seated are like a pair of pincers, ensuring the security of the last part of the road before entering the Alashankou.

Gao Jun said that Yanqi was in turmoil before, and that was because there were turtles behind him to contact. We recovered Yanqi, and Qiuzi faced the Tang Dynasty, and now it was its turn to be restless, so it was expected that it would do something.

Guo Xiaoke said, "It is precisely this reason, from the end of last year to the present, it has not stopped much. ”

Gao Jundao, there are two methods, one is to advance eastward, that is, raise a large army to attack Qiuzi head-on from east to west, but the division must be famous, and there will be large casualties, so this method is not advisable.

Guo Du said, "I want to hear about it." ”

Gao Jun said, if we want to forge ahead head-on, we have to go beyond Yanqi. And there have been repetitions since the initial decision of Yanqi, in case the battle situation between our side and Qiuzi is unclear, then it is possible that Yanqi will recur, and we will be attacked on our backs.

He said that the other is to go west, take Khotan and Shule from the South Silk Road, and make a fuss behind Qiuzi, which I agree with. As long as the connection between Qiuci and the Hu Kingdom west of the Green Mountains is severed, Qiuci will definitely be honest, and if it is honest, Yanqi will be more stable. And it's much more casual, it can be done at any time, and I don't have to pay attention to what is not named, and it is also what I am best at.

Guo Xiaoke was about to ask why, but Fan Ying and Siqing shouted first, "That's great, we can go with you to the west to herd the horses again!" ”

Gao Jun said with a smile, "Silk Road Herd, only I, the Chief Pastor of the Tianshan Mountains and the Silk Road Supervisor, are the most suitable to do this." I want to build a branch of the Tianshan Pasture in Shule first, and see how Qiuzi reacts. Uncle Guo, you should also set aside a period of time to make military preparations, if the soft one is not good, then the hard one, in short, no one else is allowed to point fingers on the Silk Road! ”

Guo Xiaoke was overjoyed, "I said that I must wait for you to come back...... Your shepherd team was sent out with a lot of oil by Li Daojue, so let the edict travel with you, and you two brothers can take care of it. ”

The big thing has been decided, Guo Xiaoke said, "It's okay now, we can get drunk today!" ”

Gao Jun said, "Uncle Guo, I brought back all the good wine he treasured from Li Daojue, and let you taste it today!" As he spoke, he put out the wine and filled it up for Guo Xiaoke. Guo Xiaoke raised his glass and drank it, full of praise. Gao Jun said, "I'll pull a car for you when I go." ”

Guo Du said, "I have heard of this king of Yazhou County, and he is addicted to alcohol. The emperor's eldest and his second, how can the people who dare not be provoked in the entire Jiannan Dao let you pull your lives to Xizhou? ”

Fan Ying said from the seat, "Uncle Guo, let's pull his wine and ask him if he dares to say a word." We had already beaten him twice before we came back, and it is estimated that his eye sockets have only now gone down. ”

Guo Xiaoke became interested and hurriedly asked about the fate. Fan Ying said it from the beginning, Guo Xiaoke laughed and said, "In this way, the new king of Yazhou County is straightforward!" I'd love to see him for a while! ”

Gao Jun said, I will prepare for the past two days, and then I will go to Shule to expand the horse farm. Liu Yuru said, "It just so happens that the matter of Gao Bai and Snow Lotus has been done in the past two days, as well as the ten maids that Brother Gao Min brought back from the Yi Pyro Land Department last time. When you come back, you will send them all together, so that the shepherds may not be worried. ”

Guo Xiaoke saw Gao Xianxing stretching out his hand to pick up vegetables, so he asked, "Brother Gao, how did you do it with the back of your hand." The high judge said, "The subordinate is not sensible...... Hurt me to do it, a small thing, a small thing! ”

Guo Xiaoke stopped asking when he heard it, but Ju'er said on the side, "Lord Guo, Ju'er begs you to call the shots." ”

Guo Xiaoke is a little strange, because under normal circumstances, the table is full of hosts and guests with status talking, and a subordinate should not interject.

Du Du did not express his displeasure, but thought back to Ju'er and said, "I know that you were my sister-in-law's personal maid, it seems that you ...... I remember that you are already married to Gao Bai. If Gao Bai bullies you, find Master Gao, how can I call the shots? ”

Gao Shenxing, Cui's, Gao Jun, Liu Yuru and all the people present were a little surprised, and Ju'er brought up her matter to the governor of Xizhou, which was much to their surprise. I don't know what Guo Dudu will do with her matter involving Gao Changshi.

Gao Xianxing and Cui Shi looked at Ju'er in unison. (To be continued.) )
