The civil strife in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was calmed down. Although the turmoil caused a storm within the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, the army outside the city was not substantially affected, and the normal life of the people remained basically normal.

It comes like a storm, and the wind and waves are calm after it goes.

Pei Xingjian didn't say anything, but he was quite apprehensive in his heart, and he was so disappointed in Li Chongyi's ancestors and grandchildren that he wished to kill them with his own hands. Because for him, the commander, if the battle has not officially begun, the rear and interior of the army are in chaos, this is far more terrible than facing an enemy several times his size, and it may even bring ruin to half of the Tang Dynasty.

No one can afford this consequence!

Therefore, Pei Xingjian believes that Xue Shao secretly planned to quell the turmoil in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and his merits may not be as obvious as the surprise attack on Heisha, but his actual merits are no less than that time. If the surprise attack on the black sand showed Xue Shao's military talent, then this change in merging states comprehensively showed the talents of Xue Shao and the group of people around him.

Although Pei Xingjian did not praise Xue Shao and them like this in person, he already had such an evaluation of them in his heart: Supporting the building will fall and turn the tide of the tide, this group of young people with both wisdom and courage will have a bright future in the future!

This is an important reason why Pei Xingjian brought Guo An to his side as a marching manager.

The next day, Pei Xingjian was about to lead his troops to the north. More than 20 foreign armies outside the city of Bingzhou marched together, and the momentum was surging, shaking thousands of fields.

Xue Shao and the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion went out of Guo to see him off.

Pei Xingjian rode on his horse to say goodbye to you, and said, "Liu Sima, Chengyu, the old man will hand over the stomach and back of the 300,000 army to you." The old man left you only with the soldiers of the state capital, some officials and dozens of people under the command of Cheng Yu. There are many things to do, and there are great responsibilities, so you need to be constantly vigilant and not slacken, let alone perform the previous turmoil! ”

"Pei Gong, don't worry!" The two of them clasped their fists together.

Pei Xingjian nodded and didn't say more, and rode away.

With an army of more than 200,000 people, banners all over the field and stretching for dozens of miles, how can it be described as magnificent and magnificent. Although Xue Shao has been in the army for two lifetimes, it is the first time he has seen so many people gathered in the same land, life and death are all in the hands of one person, and he acts according to one person's orders.

How magnificent!

"Someday, I'm going to do that!"

In his heart, Xue Shao set himself the second goal - to become the supreme military commander of Datang!

Then it is far from enough to make meritorious service and have prestige and foundation in the army. In the final analysis, the military is in the service of politics. If you want to become the supreme military commander of a country, you must be deeply rooted in the court, so you must have direct right to participate in and discuss major military affairs.

In short, out will be in phase.

Thinking of this, Xue Shao himself sighed secretly...... It's really a long way, and it's a long way to go!

"Xue Gongzi, shall we go back?" Just as Xue Shao was looking at the vast sea of people and thinking, Liu Sima stepped forward and said.

Xue Shao looked at his expression, and made it clear that the subtext was - go to my house to see the fairy girl, right?

Xue Shao couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, quickly return to the Dadu Governor's Mansion and start raising military supplies quickly!" The first urgent task to be done was to immediately recruit enough doctors and gather enough medicinal materials to send to Shuozhou. There were many soldiers who were injured after the bloody battle in Shuozhou last time, and they were lying on the sickbed in great pain! ”

When Liu Sima heard Xue Shao say this, he immediately dispelled that little selfish thought, and said, "Xiaguan will do it immediately!" From now on, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will not close its doors at night, and will rush day and night, and it will also send military doctors and medicines to Shuozhou as soon as possible to relieve the pain of those injured soldiers! ”

"Good!" Xue Shao nodded with a smile, and then whispered: "When Guo Yuanzhen and Ling Ai officially marry after the battle, I will definitely come to your mansion to congratulate each other!" ”

Liu Sima was grateful and hurriedly thanked him.

Xue Shaozhi said that he could understand that his voice-over was "will not forget your niece", which made him take a reassuring pill, and then just do things wholeheartedly, and don't have to worry about such private matters all day long.

Xue Shao said that the army stayed behind to assist Liu Sima, but Liu Sima still had to take the lead in government affairs, and he commanded and led those governor's officials and state officials and county orders to implement them, and it was impossible for Xue Shao to do it himself. Unless something goes wrong or it involves an urgent matter involving the army, Xue Shao will come forward to mediate.

This errand is the easiest since the expedition.

Back at the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Liu Sima and others immediately convened a government meeting of all important officials, and arranged for the Dadu Governor's Mansion not to close the yamen for a moment from now until the end of the battle, and that officials must be on duty day and night to fully serve the logistics of the Northern Expedition.

Xue Shao, the army guard, naturally attended the meeting, although he was not an official official of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but more than half of the officials who attended the meeting today were released from prison. Therefore, Xue Shao's casual words now are full of weight, and even Liu Sima respects him as an official.

Xue Shao felt that this was a great opportunity to refine his "governance" ability. In this regard, I am relatively blank. If you want to be based on the court in the future, how can you not understand the people's livelihood, be unfamiliar with government affairs, and not be deeply rooted in the various styles and rules of behavior of the Tang Dynasty officialdom?

Then, taking advantage of this time to relax, I can participate in the government affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion more when I have time, which can be regarded as a rare internship opportunity.

At this time, Xue Shaofang paid attention to the multiple intentions of Pei Xingjian's arrangement, first of all, Pei Xingjian may feel that I have been tired in the past few months, and the merits that should be made have been established, so let me rest for a while. When the war officially began, I had enough energy to be active on the cloud front. In addition, the old man also wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate my talent in "governance".

Pei Xingjian himself started as a state official and knows everything about people's livelihood and government affairs. Understanding the people's livelihood is the foundation of leading the army. Moreover, a general will not always kill the enemy on the front line all his life, and sooner or later he will have to return to the court. A general who does not understand the people's livelihood and has no political talents is simply useless when there is no war, so how can he become the "supreme military commander"?

In this Northern Expedition, Pei Xingjian appreciated Guo Yuanzhen and Wei Yuanzhong, and promoted Guo An to his side as a marching manager, but the all-round training of Xue Shao can be called "well-intentioned".

The reason why Pei Xingjian is called the "God of War" of the Tang Dynasty is not only because of his invincible military talent, but also because he has always been enthusiastic about promoting and cultivating military talents. Now the pillars of the Tang Dynasty army, Cheng Wuting and Wang Fangyi, were also hairy young men who followed Pei Xingjian's side back then, just like Guo An who was taken away by him today.

At dusk, Xue Shao was completely relaxed. He was used to being busy and nervous in the army, and he was really a little unaccustomed to being so relaxed all of a sudden.

At this moment, Xue Chuyu and Guo Yuanzhen came to find Xue Shao together. Coincidentally, they also feel a little "idle". So the three of them made an appointment to go on a trip to the suburbs to shoot a few birds, so that they could vent their too exuberant energy. The moon slave didn't see his stepfather for a few days, so he went to the city of Bingzhou to find Wu Ming, but this time he didn't accompany him.

Wu Ming had previously worked as a minor official in the Dadu Governor's Mansion and was doing an errand of "Infernal Affairs", so it was not convenient for him to appear in the Dadu Governor's Mansion again. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for the people in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to recognize his relationship with Xue Shao.

The three of them rode horses and bows to the countryside, and the scenery was different at dusk, but it was also pleasant.

After comparing equestrianism and archery, Xue Chuyu was far ahead without any suspense, Xue Shao and Guo Yuanzhen were very depressed, and they scolded Xue Chuyu for being a nerd, and they didn't know if they admitted to the official, wouldn't they be afraid that their careers would be hindered in the future?

Xue Chuyu didn't refute it, just laughed hard, but the horse was faster and the arrows were more accurate.

Xue Shao and Guo Yuanzhen were so angry that they scolded for a while, and threatened to use the military law to punish you as a stupid man when they went back!

The three of them harvested a lot of small prey such as birds and hares in the mountains and forests, and when they were having fun, they rode at the corner of the mountain road not far away, and immediately attracted the eyes of the three of them.

A young man dressed in white like snow, riding a cyan donkey, playing a flute leisurely, walked slowly and leisurely towards the mountain.

The sound of the flute is light and melodious, and there seems to be a magic in it that can make people's minds calm for a moment. When I got closer, I looked at the young man's outfit, with gossip talismans printed on his white clothes, snow-white dust on his arms, wearing a bamboo crown with a sword, he was about twenty years old, his facial features were handsome, his expression was leisurely and chic, and he really had a bit of a fairy posture floating out of the dust.

"Brother Xue, I'm afraid this is the only man I have ever seen who can be compared to your demeanor. Oh, still a Taoist! Guo Yuanzhen whispered.

Xue Shao couldn't help laughing, "You are a big man who says this kind of thing, isn't it disgusting?" ”

Xue Chuyu also acted as a chill, "Childe, let's stay away from him!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Guo Yuanzhen shouted loudly, "I'm about to get married!" Don't frame me! ”

The three of them laughed loudly.

The white-clothed Taoist priest approached on a donkey, stopped playing the flute and strangled the donkey, glanced at the three of them, smiled slightly, and bowed, "Poor Dao is polite!" ”

The social status of the Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty is not low, and Xue Shao and the other three all returned the salute. I thought it was a hurried meeting in Pingshui, but the white-clothed Taoist priest did not mean to pass by, but sat on the donkey and stared at Xue Shao with a smile for a long time, neither walking nor speaking.

Do?

Could it be that this is a?

These strange thoughts popped up in Xue Shao's mind for no reason, and Guo Yuanzhen and Xue Chuyu, the two bad friends, all snickered maliciously on the side.

"Poor Dao dares to ask, isn't Your Excellency the son of Lantian from the capital?" The white-clothed Taoist priest spoke.

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and Xue Shao asked, "It's down." Dare to ask the long name? ”

"The poor road calls itself Baiyunzi, and the master is a Qing faction on the mountain." The white-clothed Taoist priest replied.

Guo Yuanzhen has a wide range of friends, and he is also quite extensive, and he is no stranger to some humanistic rumors of Buddhism and Taoism, so he immediately exclaimed: "Isn't the Taoist chief the tall foot of Chongshan Pan Guoshi, Mr. Sima Zihui?" ”

"It's the Tao of poverty." The man in white replied with a smile.

When Xue Shao heard this name, he suddenly thought of a mysterious woman with a "fairy aura" like the man in white in front of him-Zhongnan Mountain, Xuanyunzi!

Pan Shizheng preached for the two saints and said, known as the national teacher. Xuanyunzi is also one of the top disciples of Chongshan Pan Shizheng. Moreover, although Xue Shao didn't know the "white cloud" in front of him, he had already heard about his name.

Baiyunzi is his self-taken Taoist name, his surname is Sima, his name is Chengzhen, and the word Zihui, and he is a descendant of Emperor Sima Yi of the Jin Dynasty. This person is famous in Chinese history, especially in the religious world, he is a Taishan Beidou-level figure, and is the twelfth generation master of the Maoshan sect of the Shangqing sect of Taoism. In history, together with Li Bai, He Zhizhang and others, they are called "Ten Friends of Immortal Sect"!

The reason why he is so familiar (or impressed) is because in his previous life, An Xiaorou, a historical powerhouse, once made a "nymphomaniac" appearance when talking about Sima Chengzhen, saying how handsome and chic he was. For this reason, when the young and vigorous Xue Shao was a little depressed, he was once a little depressed.

Now that he saw it with his own eyes, Xue Shao couldn't help but smile secretly, it was really a providence, and the past was unbearable. Who would have thought that I would cross the millennium and see the ...... with my own eyes? Imaginary love rival?.
