After returning, Guo An went to consult the opinions of the native soldiers. More than 200 people, half of whom were seriously injured, will definitely not go. Of the remaining 100 or so people, more than half are reluctant to leave their homeland because of procrastination or other reasons.

In the end, Guo An recruited more than 50 people for Xue Shao. Xue Shao said to them, I took you to Chang'an for two purposes. The first one is to make a good life for the rest of your life. I can help all of you arrange your ministry and settle down in Chang'an, or you can be my retainer and I will take care of you for the rest of your life.

Being able to settle in Chang'an is the dream of the vast majority of people in the world now, just as many people in the 21st century are eager to move to the United States and get a green card. When people go to high places and water flows low, the native soldiers are of course happy.

The second purpose that Xue Shao said is to bring you to Chang'an to continue a new military career. I will train you to be the most elite scout in the world, and I will be a dedicated scout for Xue Shao's direct henchmen. Of course, this is all voluntary. After all, scouting is a very bitter and dangerous profession, and compared to the fancy world of Chang'an, scouts are warriors walking in hell.

"Think about it. It's never too late to give me an answer when I get to Chang'an! Xue Shao put down such words.

The soldiers were surprised and surprised, and began to talk about it. Later, they sent a representative to ask Xue Shao, saying that if we are willing to be the scout of Young Marshal Xue, can we let County Lieutenant Guo be our leader?

Xue Shao said of course you can, as long as Guo An is willing.

But the problem is that Guo An is unwilling.

Guo An did not want to leave Yanzhou, saying that he owed too much here. He wants to spend his whole life to compensate his parents and fellow villagers in Yanzhou. He begged Xue Shao to let him continue to serve as the county lieutenant of Yanchang, so that he could work for the benefit of the local area as a parent official. In addition, many of the sacrificed soldiers have no relatives alive, and on the day of the New Year's festival or the sacrifice of death, Guo An also wants to sweep their graves and sacrifice blood and food, and do his best.

Guo An's reply was not unexpected by Xue Shao. If it weren't for a man who values love and righteousness, Guo An would not have such a group of heroes around him who swore to follow him.

As a result, Xue Shao, Xue Chuyu, Guo Yuanzhen, and many other local soldiers took turns to lobby Guo An for "bombing". To put it mildly, Guo An finally agreed to go to Chang'an together.

Xue Shao, the envoy, "abused" the power in his hands - dismissed Guo An from his post as county lieutenant and brought him back to Chang'an to find another way to make a living.

Xue Shao's heart thought very clearly, Guo An and these native soldiers, if they want an official position, they can find a way to let them attach themselves to an official position. But this official position must be very lively, and there is no very fixed working hours and scope of work. In this way, he can bring them to his call, and if he wants to go on the expedition, he can go on call. For example, Guo An, he was previously arranged by Pei Xingjian to serve as a clerk in the South Ya Right Guard Office. Now that he has returned to Chang'an, he can completely reinstate his official or make similar arrangements.

All the generals and scribes of the 12 guards of the Southern Ya can be sent out to fight at any time.

Xue Shao fulfilled his promise, and the personal supervision of the minister of Qincha, and the compensation for the dead and disabled soldiers among the soldiers and native soldiers of Yanzhou Prefecture were quickly implemented.

The Anxi Army pursued and suppressed the remnants of the white bandits, and the good news was frequent. It is true that their combat effectiveness and work efficiency are not covered.

At the same time, another major work of Xue Shao was officially launched.

Bai Tieyu, a "high-ranking war criminal," finally "showed" in front of the people of Suizhou -- openly preached the scriptures in Buddhist temples and temples of all parts of Suizhou.

Of course, Xue Shao would never let him hype up his fallacies and heresies like before, and deceive people's minds. Instead, he asked him to argue Buddhism with Xuan Yunzi and Sima Chengzhen in front of monks and believers.

Bai Tieyu is the best at grasping human nature and understanding people's hearts, so as to achieve his goal of demagogic people. But if he really wants to argue about Buddhism, where will he be the opponent of the true master Xuan Yunzi and Sima Chengzhen?

I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm afraid of comparing the goods, Bai Tieyu's mouth didn't take long for him to harden, and he finally softened. He was speechless more than once in front of many monks and believers, and was debated by Xuan Yunzi and Sima Chengzhen. If it weren't for the army, many believers who had woken up would have tore up Bai Tieyu in public to vent their anger.

This is a real "bottom of the kettle" to quell the rebellion. Bai Tieyu and his fallacies have completely lost the market in Suizhou, even if Xue Shao doesn't bring him back to Chang'an and hand him over to the imperial court to correct the law, the people of Suizhou will let him, a traitor and a big liar, die to the scum.

At the same time, Xuan Yunzi and Sima Chengzhen caught fire in Suizhou. These two powerful religious masters have become the new idols in the hearts of the people of Suizhou. Compared with Bai Tieyu's religious fanatical worship, there are more aesthetic tastes and love obsessions.

There's no way, who called the two of them so handsome that heaven can't tolerate it, and they are so beautiful that they are all over the country?

Xuan Yunzi and Sima Chengzhen's itinerant Dharma meeting will continue for a while. Xue Shao asked Xiao Zhizhong to take responsibility for this matter, and sent Yuenu with a few powerful people to protect Xuanyunzi and Sima Chengzhen.

On this day, Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu traveled to Longquan County to visit Zhao Yijie, who was recuperating here. It just so happened that they met Xuan Yunzi and they also arrived here, and they had just finished a Dharma meeting.

Xue Shao mingled in the crowd of ordinary people who dispersed, and listened to many of them gritting their teeth and scolding Bai Tieyu for deceiving the world and stealing his name, and he deserved to die. Xue Shao and Xue Chuyu were laughing, and suddenly a familiar figure jumped in front of Xue Shao.

"Childe! Why did you come to Longquan too?! ”

It's a moon slave.

"Heh, General An is very vigilant!" Xue Shao smiled, "Those sergeants didn't notice us, but you did." ”

"I smell Childe!" The moon slave smiled innocently, "Xuanyunzi, they are over there, do you want to meet him?" ”

"No need." Xue Shao said, "We are here to visit Zhao Yijie. ”

"Oh......" Moon Nu muttered quietly, "Xuanyunzi really wants to see you, and he talks about you every day." ”

Xue Chuyu smiled, "Childe, beauty Simu, you better go and see each other!" I'll go first, and I'll wait for you. ”

"Okay." Xue Shao agreed, he will see it when he sees it, and it is not that he has not seen it.

Later, Yue Nu led the way and took Xue Shao to Xuan Yunzi's residence, which was actually a marching camp. In order to prevent the remnants of the white bandits from causing chaos, Xiao Zhizhong sent troops and Xuan Yunzi to accompany him and closely guard Bai Tieyu.

As she walked, Yue Nu said to Xue Shao, "Childe, I now know why Bai Tieyu wants to marry Xuanyunzi so much!" ”

"There are not a few men who think like this." Xue Shao said with a smile.

"But Bai Tieyu's thoughts are different from ordinary men." Yue Nu said, "Bai Tieyu knows that he doesn't have much real talent in his stomach, and after operating in a small place like Suizhou for many years, he can barely deceive some people. But if he went to other places in the future and encountered those things that had seen the world, Bai Tieyu was worried that he would not be able to be fooled. He admired Xuan Yunzi's full talent and knowledge very much, and used it for himself. This is the real reason why Bai Tieyu wants to marry Xuan Yunzi. He really has no shortage of women, and there are many female believers who can't wait to dig their hearts into him, including many young and beautiful women! ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "There is a saying that men are not bad and women are not loved. Bai Tieyu is simply so bad that he is paranoid and crazy, and he can say that he is good at figuring out people's hearts, such a man definitely has a fatal attraction to women. Even if she knew that he was very bad and terrible, the woman would still be unable to help but follow him like a moth to a flame. ”

"Childe, you're right!" Yue Nu was surprised, "These days, I have seen a lot of women who love Bai Tieyu, they know that Bai Tieyu is a big liar, and they have no regrets about him, it's like going crazy!" ”

Xue Shao frowned slightly, thinking that what Bai Tieyu said that day was not all nonsense, when a man's beliefs are strong enough and he is focused and persistent enough to do something, he will become very "charming", which can make some people fanatically obsessed with him and follow him with life and death. When I was fighting the battle of Chengping, how could I not be as focused and persistent as Bai Tieyu, even paranoid and wild? …… This may be the reason why so many people swear to follow me!

Am I really the same kind of person as him?

Thinking of this, Xue Shao couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, Bai Tieyu was really good at understanding people's hearts! I didn't think about these inner secrets until now, but he thought of them a long time ago!

Later, Xue Shao met Xuan Yunzi. She is still as beautiful and elegant as ever, like a fairy who has escaped the dust.

After some gossip, Xuan Yunzi said: "I don't know what the son is going to do, when will the class master return to the court?" ”

"It's coming." Xue Shao said, "When the Anxi army clears the remnants of the white bandits, I will return to the dynasty." It will be in about ten days. ”

"Gongzi and Wang Dudu are really capable ministers, and they are about to be completed so soon." Xuan Yunzi smiled faintly and said, "It's just that there are some things that the son may still ignore." ”

Xue Shao was slightly stunned, "What did I neglect, and asked the fairy aunt to make it clear?" ”

"Have you ever thought about why Bai Tieyu saw through me and my senior brother early in the morning, and kept an eye on the moon slave?" Xuan Yunzi said, "I came to Suizhou with my senior brother with Gongzi's army, and this matter is very secret, and even the prime minister of the court does not know about it. There is also the Moon Slave girl, who has always been by my side as a servant, I call her 'Miaoqing', and never call her by her real name in front of Bai Tieyu. As a result, on that day, Bai Tieyu called her a moon slave. ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Immortal Gu wants to say that Bai Tieyu has already received information?" ”

In this way, Childe did not neglect this matter. It's too much to worry about. Xuan Yunzi said, "

"You didn't think much about it." Xue Shao said, "Actually, since the moon slave came back to report the news, I have always suspected that Qianqi has an inner ghost. Since then, my military plans have been known only to a few people. And I guess that this inner ghost must have been framed by someone in Chang'an, and if you want me to lose to Bai Tieyu, it is best to die at the hands of Bai Tieyu. ”

Xuan Yunzi asked, "Did the son find it?" ”

"Nope." Xue Shao shook his head, "I suspect that the inner ghost only reported to Bai Tieyu once when we first arrived in Yanzhou, and then because the limelight was very tight and he was unable to move, he never contacted Bai Tieyu again." Because Bai Tieyu only knew about you, Sima Chengzhen, and Yuenu lurking in Suizhou, but he didn't know my later marching plan. Otherwise, Bai Tieyu would not have been defeated so badly. Later, I secretly interrogated Bai Tieyu about this matter, and he only cared about talking nonsense to me, and he was very indebted. ”

Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly, "I know, who that inner ghost is!" ”
