Just when Lu Qian was also unable to make a decision for a while, the wind and snow had already filled the entire Western Regions.

When Zhao Buyi's family stayed in Hami City and shivered a little from the fire around the stove, Guo Pharmacist in Hotan City was also fiddling with a dispatch order from Jinling.

This is a dispatch order from the Ministry of War, and its content is very simple, if he is asked to lead the leaders of the tribes in the Western Regions, he will immediately set off to face the saint. Of course, the imperial court praised Guo Yaoshi's achievements in southern Xinjiang in the past five years.

Gaochang in the Western Regions surrendered directly in the face of the Lu Qi army, and the Eastern Qarakhanid State next to it only chose to surrender after a little resistance, but the Western Regions were too big, even if there was a voice saying that the area west of Broken Leaf City was going to be opened as the Anxi Protectorate, but if this order was not issued for a day, everything would be under the rule of the Western Regions.

The current Western Regions, with Broken Leaf City as the boundary, the western area will be suppressed by the three banners of the Yellow Flag, the Yellow Flag and the Red Flag, and the east is virtually divided into two parts of the Tianshan Mountains and the South and the North of the Tianshan Mountains because of the topography, referred to as Tiannan Tianbei, that is, the southern and northern frontiers of the later generations.

The city of Hotan was the former Khotan, which was not only the administrative center of Tiannan, but also the military center. It is controlled by Guo Yaoshi, the left deputy chief of the Western Regions soldiers and horses.

Since the end of the latter's latent career, he first wandered around the steppe for two years, suppressing the remnants of the Khitan, and then studied in the senior general class of the Wuluo Academy for a year, and then was transferred to the Western Regions. Later, he participated in the original Western Expedition and made meritorious contributions, and then stayed in the Western Regions. First the right deputy chief, and then the left deputy governor sitting on the side.

It stands to reason that this returned to the dynasty with the "Yi chieftain" and a large number of tribute class teachers, and returned triumphantly, which was a beautiful difference that made the warriors excited. For a military general, such an errand means honor, an official title, and a rich political capital. However, in the face of such a dispatch order, Pharmacist Guo couldn't get excited.

This is not because of Guo Yaoshi's arrogant personality and regard fame and fortune as dung, nor because he feels that he is not qualified to be a wife and a son. In fact, these honors and titles are exactly what he has been pursuing for many years of war. Feng Wife Yinzi is a ...... he often dreams of in his dreams, but when a dispatch order from Jinling is really placed in front of him, he is full of anxiety at this time.

Although Guo Yaoshi is a martial artist, he is definitely not a rough and stupid person. He read a lot, so he was especially satisfied with Emperor Lu.

The other dynasty was established, and the founding emperor was always "a cunning rabbit died, and a lackey cooked" allusions, and he was afraid to think about it. However, Emperor Lu in front of him is really kind-hearted and affectionate. The treatment of the founding heroes has never been seen through the ages. Li Shimin is not comparable to him.

Although Guo Yaoshi was attached halfway, he was never worried about being crossed by Emperor Lu to cross the river and demolish the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey. He was just worried that after he was transferred to the Western Regions, if there would be a Western Expedition in the future, he would not be able to catch up with a hundred.

During these years in the Western Regions, Guo Yaoshi had a very systematic understanding of the Heavenly Sect and the destruction of the Khotanese Kingdom. The slogan of "jihad" made him a little enthusiastic too.

As a Buddhist, and a very devout Buddhist, he is very keen to fight the heavens.

But he also knows that he is not young anymore. This time I went back, there was really another western expedition, how could he be used by the emperor when he was over sixty years old?

Thinking of these, Pharmacist Guo's mood began to dull unconsciously. The dispatch order in front of him became an "unpleasant circle" in his eyes in the blink of an eye. Just when Pharmacist Guo was full of sorrow, the guards outside the door suddenly came in and reported: "Chief, Ye joins the army and asks to see you." ”

The so-called "Ye joins the army" is actually Yeluye.

Ye Mingsen? What is the younger brother of Jeruma5, what is he here for? Didn't he also know about the dispatch order? Also, Yelu Mawu and Yue Pengju have a deep friendship, and they are very well-informed, and Ye Mingsen is good under the big tree.

"Come in, please."

This thing is a little depressing, and I am not happy to hold it alone, so I happened to find someone to talk to.

But before Pharmacist Guo's words could fall, Ye Mingsen's hearty laughter sounded outside the door: "Manager Guo, Ye Mou is uninvited today, but he wants to ask for two glasses of happy wine to eat." ”

Sure enough, it was a psychic, Guo Yaoshi thought in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Whoever is missing the wine, you Ye Da is indispensable to join the army." Come on, hurry up and serve tea. ”

"After several years of Rongbian, he has made many meritorious achievements, and now he will return to the dynasty and become famous. Ye was happy for the general pipe first. ”

Ye Mingsen has good roots, but he has never been arrogant, what is his roots? There are powerful people in the army. Don't talk about characters like Yue Pengju, or Luan Junshi, Han Wu, Wang Gui, Yao Zheng, Li Shifu, Yang Yizhong, these rising stars, even Yang Zaixing, who is nearly ten years younger than him, is not comparable to him.

Seeing Ye Mingsen say this, Pharmacist Guo no longer concealed it, and let out the sorrow in his heart. Ye Mingsen was born in the Yelu clan, and naturally he is also a Buddhist, so he has no good impression of the Tianfang Sect, which destroyed the Khotanese Buddha Kingdom and pressed Gaochang to the point that he couldn't raise his head. After hearing Pharmacist Guo's displeasure, he was a little surprised at first, and then smiled bitterly.

With the end of the Nanyang War, more and more of the older generation were 'shelved' by Emperor Lu.

Helplessly, Lu Qi didn't have so many battles to fight. Lu Junyi and his ilk, many of whom have been wandering around in Jinling City for five years, Lu Qian's attitude now is very clear that he wants to give the opportunity to lead troops to fight to the younger generation.

Pharmacist Guo is now less than sixty years old, and he still feels that he is strong and strong, but how can he compare with those young people in their thirties?

"Your Majesty wants the old man to bring the heads of various departments in the Western Regions to Beijing to pay tribute in the late spring of the next year, which is really the glory of the old man. But...... This time, the old man is afraid that he will never have the opportunity to go west again. Pharmacist Guo said a little reluctantly. It was naturally a very glorious thing to bring the leaders of the Western Regions into the pilgrimage, but this glory was not his alone. Because he didn't fight the Western Regions alone. In this way, the joy and glory are somewhat weakened, and they are not much higher than the temptation of the Western Expedition.

Ye Mingsen thought of his most direct backer, and Yelu Ma Wu also retreated to the second line for several years. At that time, he was not as old as Pharmacist Guo is now. According to Ye Mingsen's opinion, the fact that Guo Yaoshi was able to take a back seat at such an age was not because Emperor Lu was compensating him.

"When the husband is alive, what he wants is to make meritorious contributions, glorify his ancestors, and seal his wife and son. Now that the general manager has made great achievements, and now he has brought the heads of various departments in the Western Regions to pay tribute to our Heavenly Dynasty, and it will be recorded in history. Your Majesty will have another reward for you, and that is enough. How can you do everything as you wish? Ye Mingsen said eloquently.

The implication is to persuade Pharmacist Guo to 'accept it when he sees it'. In life, everything goes well is not a mortal.

"Ahem, you've learned to say these flattering words too. What is the contribution? All thanks to His Majesty. If it weren't for the emperor's grace, how could the old man be today? Pharmacist Guo shook his head again and again. I just can't go straight into Baghdad. ”

It's hard to disobey the emperor's order.
