In this kind of mountainous place, Guo An's native soldiers are more familiar with the local terrain and language and customs, and are far more qualified for the role of "scouts" than the soldiers under Xue Shao's command. After lunch, Guo An's secret sentinel scouts outside reported that a team of men and horses, about 20 sergeants and more than 100 porters, had come from the direction of Yan'an, the state capital, and had arrived to Yanchang County with a batch of grain and grass.

Xue Shao told everyone to get ready and be sure to perform this first scene.

When the grain and grass team entered Yanchang County, Guo An personally went to press it. The person in charge of escorting the grain and grass is a team from the Yanzhou Military Government named Qiu Yan, who has also known Guo An in the past.

"County Lieutenant Guo, I was ordered to send you a batch of relief grain and grass, you hurry up and check it." Qiu Yan said in a businesslike manner, "In addition, Zhou Fujun also asked me to tell you to go back to the state city with me, saying that there is something very important." He has another letter for me to bring to you. ”

"Thank you, Team Qiu." Guo An took the letter and looked at it, and the scene was overjoyed.

Qiu Yan obviously knew the inside story, and hurriedly asked with a snake: "County Lieutenant Guo, what a good thing makes you smile?" ”

"No, no!" Guo An smiled and pretended, "There is a shortage of food in the city, and Team Qiu is sending grain and grass, of course I'm too late to be happy!" ”

"Don't try to fool me." Qiu Yan pursed his lips and said, "I have heard the rumors, saying that the Zhou Mansion is more important than you, and I am going to invite you to go to the state city to take precautions." With such reuse, County Lieutenant Guo, you will definitely be promoted! ”

"Where, where!" Guo An said with a smile, "Thanks to the love of the prince, Guo An can only do his best, lest he live up!" ”

The two were chatting when they were confronted by a few people wearing gold armor, five-colored robes, and riding tall horses. Qiu Yan was taken aback when he saw it, "Who is that?" ”

"Silence it!" Guo An hurriedly shouted to greet the general again, and bowed solemnly, "General Guo, why did you work for your old man's driver, and you came in person?" ”

"Nonsense, can I not come?" Guo Yuanzhen shouted angrily, "My brothers have eaten a few meals of coarse bran and boiled wild vegetables, and I heard that grain and grass have just entered the city, so you hurry up and send it to me!" ”

"General Guo is angry, the native soldiers and villagers in the city have given you food savings, and you can't even eat coarse bran and boiled wild vegetables for a long time." Guo An said pitifully, "It's better to ...... Give us a little bread and grass, and when we are full, we will have the strength to serve you. ”

"Less nonsense, drag it all away!" Guo Yuanzhen was very annoyed, "After tossing for a long time, you got such a little food, and there is no wine or meat, and we are about to fade out of our mouths!" - Hurry up and go to Zhangluo again and get some wine and meat to eat! ”

"General Guo, this ......" Guo An's expression was about to cry.

"Is he really a general?" Qiu Yan asked Guo An in a low voice. He looked at Guo Yuanzhen, who was arrogant and domineering in front of him, and was directly dumbfounded, thinking to himself where such a number one person appeared, I didn't know anything in advance!

"Dare to doubt the general?!" Guo Yuanzhen glared at Qiu Yan angrily, "What are you, where did the stuff come from?" ”

Although Qiu Yan was a little jealous, after all, he was a man with anger, and he was a little annoyed at the moment, "I am the head of the Yanzhou Military Government Infantry Shooting Team, Qiu Yan!" I was ordered to send grain and grass to the county lieutenant of Yanchang Guo, but it was not for you! ”

"Horn!"

Before Qiu Yan's words fell, Guo Yuanzhen whipped it down, hit Qiu Yan's helmet directly and scolded: "Okay, you don't know how to die, you dare to roar at the general!" - Don't say that you, a military attache with a sesame mung bean, even if your assassin Shi and Du Wei come in person, you have to bow down obediently when you see the general! ”

Qiu Yan was so angry that he was about to call the people around him to attack together, but Guo An hugged him to death, "Team Qiu must not make a mistake!" This one is Guo Yuanzhen and General Guo from Chang'an! ”

From Chang'an?!

Hearing these words, Qiu Yan was like being drenched with a bucket of ice water on the spot, and he immediately calmed down.

Guo Yuanzhen was unforgiving, and then pointed at Qiu Yan's nose with a horsewhip and scolded: "I see your stupid talent and virtue that don't know death, and I know that your assassin history and Du Wei are also death-seeking goods!" Major Marshal Xue Shaoxue, the commander of the march of Xiping Road and the deposed envoy of Sanzhou, has led his troops to Yanchang for two days, and none of your Yanzhou officials and generals have come to pay their respects except for Guo County's lieutenant! - Then you all wait to be stripped of your official skins and go home to farm! ”

After that, Guo Yuanzhen snorted, turned the horse's head and turned around, and before leaving, he didn't forget to scold, "Stupid thing that doesn't know whether to live or die!" -- County Lieutenant Guo, hurry up and drag the grain and grass to make food! ”

"Yes......" Guo An swallowed his anger and agreed.

Qiu Yan was full of excitement and asked in surprise: "County Lieutenant Guo, is that really a general from Chang'an?" What did he just say...... What kind of ambassador is Xiping Dao, it's too long for me to hear clearly--which person is it? ”

"That's right, just came from Chang'an with such a group of uncles who can't afford to serve." Guo An sighed helplessly and aggrievedly, and told Qiu Yan about the origin of Xue Shao, Guo Yuanzhen and others.

"My mother!" Qiu Yan was so frightened that he exclaimed, "Ru, such a cold wind and snow, how did they come here?" ”

"The devil knows!" Guo An stretched out his hands, "It was said that they were ordered to come to fight against the white bandits, but after they came, they all lay down in the nest to rest, and if they wanted to eat and drink well, they would be greeted with whips if they didn't serve well. ”

Qiu Yan listened to Guo An's words very vigilantly, and then his heart sank, and he asked cautiously: "They look like lazy ghosts, can they still get military merits?" ”

"Hey, isn't there still Wang Fangyi over there in Xiazhou?" Guo An said, "If you look at this group of uncles in fresh clothes, you know that they are all powerful figures in the capital. The thousand horsemen in front of His Majesty, who doesn't have the support of a big official behind him? The main general Xue Shao I know, he entrusted the blessing of the queen of heaven to be a nominal student under Pei Xingjian's door, and then followed Pei Xingjian's Northern Expedition to get a military feat, and after returning to the dynasty after the battle, he became a concubine, and he was promoted to the middle general of Yulin Qianqi in his early twenties. Anyway, he has long been accustomed to doing things that confuse military merits and officials to accumulate money, so what's the harm in doing it again now? -- The imperial court appointed him as the head of the march, but asked Wang Fangyi, the governor of Xiazhou, to assist him in using his troops. Isn't that the intention? ”

"Makes sense, makes sense!" Qiu Yan's heart shone again and again, such important information, if I report it to the Assassin Shi and Du Wei, I will be rewarded!

"What else are you talking about here?" Guo An also looked a little impatient, and said, "Hurry up and report back to Zhou Fujun and let him come to pay homage to Qincha!" It's a little late, and those Chang'an uncles are going to whip people again! ”

"Okay, I'll go right away!!" Qiu Yan was more anxious than Guo An, and he couldn't take care of the other entourage sergeants and porters, so he was about to run away.

Guo An grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "Remember to persuade the prince to bring a little more filial piety!" These Chang'an uncles have a lot of hobbies, good wine, good meat, and wealth, which is certain. If you make them happy, you might even be promoted to an official and get a reward! ”

"That's, that's!" Qiu Yan didn't want to listen to any more nonsense, so he hurriedly dealt with a few words and ran away, ran a few steps and ran back, "Zhou Fujun asked you to go back to Zhou City, will you go with me now?" ”

"Zhou Fujun is coming in person, so I'm not going, right? Besides, the minister is right in front of me, if I dare to slip away, wouldn't I be looking for death? Guo An urged, "You hurry up, tell Zhou Fujun about the arrival of the minister, and let him quickly arrange for it." I want to go with you, stay here and serve these uncles from Chang'an, not to mention how aggrieved they are! ”

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

Soon, Qiu Yan left Yanchang with his people and rushed back to the state city like an arrow.

Xue Shao was already happy, I really didn't expect these two surnamed Guo to act so well, it's a pity not to win the Oscar.

"Young marshal, we are so startling and showing off our might, in case the group of people in Yanzhou are forced to do something with us, it will be difficult for us to resist the eight hundred people and the small county town of Yanchang alone!" Guo Yuanzhen voiced his concerns.

"Don't worry, absolutely not." Xue Shao smiled slightly and said, "Before communicating with Bai Tieyu, they won't act rashly." Moreover, the more arrogant we are, the easier it is for them to take us lightly and think that we are right and stable. ”

"Hit the nail on the head." Xiao Zhizhong, who has always been silent, said, "I estimate that after the people over there in Yanzhou learned about the situation, what they wanted to do most was to stabilize us first." Presumably, it won't be long before that Zhou Thorn Shi will come to meet the young marshal with good wine and meat respectfully, and by the way, explore our reality. At the same time, he will also pass the news to Bai Tieyu and discuss his next move with him. ”

"Guo Yuanzhen, you see, Xiao Changshi's mind is so meticulous, how can you be like a martial artist like you, who can only pull his throat and whip people!" Xue Shao said with a smile.

Guo Yuanzhen screamed, "Didn't you ask me to do it?" ”

Everyone laughed together.

"Okay, the next scene is about to begin." Xue Shao said, "What we have to do is to continue to use our arrogance and indulgence to paralyze the group of people surnamed Zhou." Make sure they know that we're just a bunch of noble junk who have come to get a lot of money to get mixed up with military exploits. ”

"I seem to get it a little bit." Guo Yuanzhen said, "Are you trying to induce that playmaker surnamed Zhou to move the crooked thoughts of the minister, and want to go to Bai Tieyu to offer a letter of nomination?" ”

"You've finally regained your normal level of intelligence." Xue Shao smiled, "It seems that yesterday's injury should be completely healed, right?" ”

The crowd laughed again.

"It's okay, I want to take medicine!!" Guo Yuanzhen shouted angrily, and simply leaned towards Xue Chuyu's body as soon as he tilted his body, "I have a headache, carry me back to rest!" ”

As soon as Xue Chuyu dodged, Guo Yuanzhen almost fell to the ground, and everyone laughed again.

"Everyone's listening!" Xue Shao shouted, and everyone became nervous again.

Xue Shao smiled, "Let's come over with my ears!" I'm going to teach each and every one of you how to play the next play! ”
