The Spring Festival is approaching, although in the hearts of the Tang people, the Spring Festival is not as important as the Shangyuan Festival, but for the soldiers who are fighting abroad, this is still a very important festival, especially in half a month is the Shangyuan Festival, so the Spring Festival can be regarded as a preparatory festival for the Shangyuan Festival, so before the Spring Festival, the entire army began to prepare.

Su Dingfang rode on a horse and patrolled along the streets of Gaochang City, and the Gaochang people on the street saw Su Dingfang and the Tang army behind him, and they all showed expressions of awe, and the originally crowded streets also gave up their position in the middle, and they didn't even dare to approach.

Some time ago, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang led a large army to besiege Gaochang City, but the current Gaochang King Lu Zhisheng saw the reinforcements outside, and there were problems inside, so he opened the city gate and surrendered very decisively, so the Tang army directly occupied Gaochang City, because Gaochang was originally a country established by the Han people, so various customs and habits in the country are very similar to the Central Plains, and the Tang army is not particularly resistant, so the process of the Tang army taking over Gaochang City is also very smooth.

Gaochang City is the capital of Gaochang, the Tang army occupied here, and Gaochang also perished, but there are some other cities in Gaochang Kingdom, and now the weather is too cold, and the Tang army has no time to receive, so they will stay in Gaochang City for the time being, and first stabilize the territory that has been attacked.

Gaochang is a powerful country in the Western Regions, Gaochang City is one of the most prosperous cities in the Western Regions, after laying down Gaochang City, Hou Junji counted the household registration in Gaochang City, and found that the population of the entire city reached more than 37,000 people, although this number is very insignificant compared to the millions of people in Chang'an, but for the vast and sparsely populated Western Regions, Gaochang City is already a great city.

Su Dingfang is Hou Junji's deputy, and now he is mainly responsible for the security in Gaochang City, in fact, there is no major event every day, after all, among the nearly 40,000 people in Gaochang City, nearly 30,000 are Han people, and the remaining Hu people are also affected by the Han style, not as barbaric as other Hu people, so after the Tang army occupied Gaochang City, the public security was also restored well, coupled with the strict discipline of the Tang army, so the people in the city also feared the Tang army from the beginning to the current awe, and life in the city also returned to normal.

The inspection team walked along the most prosperous street in Gaochang, although there are many Han people in Gaochang City, but most of them moved here many years ago, and even Gaochang City was originally built by the Han Dynasty's troops in Tuntian, so the Han people here are also affected by the atmosphere of the Western Regions, resulting in the construction of Gaochang City is not as neat as the city in the Central Plains, residential and commercial areas are mixed, and the streets are full of built sheds and the like, which looks very messy.

Su Dingfang looked at the scenery in Gaochang City while inspecting, although the entire Gaochang City could not be compared with the big city of the Central Plains, but it also had an exotic flavor, especially mixed with some Central Plains style buildings, which looked interesting.

The road that Su Dingfang inspected is the backbone of Gaochang City, all the way to the direction of the palace, so after a while, Su Dingfang saw the palace in front of him that looked more like a temple, because the Buddha in the Western Regions was prosperous, and Gaochang was no exception, so the entire Gaochang City was full of temples, and even the palace was built as a big temple. In the end, Xuanzang threatened to go on a hunger strike, which made King Gaochang let him go.

Just when Su Dingfang's team came to the palace gate of Gaochang Palace, he saw that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had been replaced in front of the palace gate, and now the palace gate was wide open, and through the palace gate, it could be seen that there seemed to be a lot of big cars parked inside, which made him a little curious.

Su Dingfang entered the palace only to find that a team of soldiers were under the command of some generals, moving some treasures in the palace treasury to the carriage, speaking of which after conquering Gaochang City, Ko Zhisheng also immediately moved out of the palace, because there are a lot of treasures in the palace, not to mention, the treasure house of the palace alone is very amazing, so the palace was immediately sealed by Hou Junji, it seems that the treasures in the palace did not begin to count until today, and even Hou Junji stood not far away to monitor.

"See the general!" Su Dingfang saw Hou Junji, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute at the moment, this time he served as Hou Junji's deputy for the first time, and also realized that it was not easy to do things under Hou Junji, speaking of which, although Hou Junji was proficient in the art of war, but in the army, he was arbitrary, and did not allow any questioning, so Su Dingfang also listened to the advice of Li Xiu and Cheng Yanjin and others, and never worked against Hou Junji, so the two got along quite well.

"Well, no need to be polite!" Hou Junji also nodded slightly when he saw Su Dingfang, and then pointed to the big cars in front of him and said with a smile, "Dingfang, you see, Gaochang District is a small country in the Western Regions, and there are so many treasures stored in the palace, especially all kinds of gems, gold and other things, which are simply countless, and it is dazzling to see!" ”

"The Western Regions was originally a transportation artery, and if we want to buy the goods of the Tang Dynasty to the West, we must pass through here, Gaochang is entrenched here, so it is natural to sit on the ground and collect money, and it is normal for the palace to have these gold, silver and jewelry." Su Dingfang also smiled at this time.

However, as soon as Su Dingfang's words fell, he suddenly looked at the army transporting the treasures again, and then asked with some puzzlement: "General, have all these treasures been registered, why haven't I seen the people who recorded them?" ”

"What does a registry do?" Hou Junji smiled indifferently when he heard Su Dingfang's words, and even smiled with a bit of self-satisfaction.

"This ......" Su Dingfang was also stunned again at the moment, and then asked puzzledly, "If you don't register and make a register, then how can you send it back to Chang'an, in case you lose a few pieces along the way, you can't find it when you want to?" ”

"Hehe, what stupid things are you talking about, these are all our trophies, and we don't need to hand them over to the imperial court!" Hou Junji smiled calmly again.

"What? This ......" Su Dingfang was shocked when he heard that Hou Junji actually regarded these treasures in the palace as trophies, because according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the spoils of war can be owned by individuals, if the king of Gaochang did not surrender, Gaochang City was defeated by the Tang army, then these things can still be reluctantly divided into the spoils, but now it is Gaochang Xiancheng surrendered, so Hou Junji clearly wants to take these treasures as own, which is a bit too much.

"What? Do you think there's anything wrong with the formula? Just when Su Dingfang wanted to say something, he didn't expect Hou Junji to glance at him coldly at this time, although his tone was still flat, but he already had a bit of a sense of calmness.

Seeing the expression on Hou Junji's face, Su Dingfang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and immediately thought of the advice of Li Xiu and Cheng Yanjin, and hurriedly smiled at the moment: "The general misunderstood, the last general just thinks that these trophies are too valuable, and he is worried that these soldiers below will be clumsy and broken!" ”

Su Dingfang can mix in the army, naturally he is not a stupid person, especially now that the army is on an expedition, Hou Junji, as the head of the marching army, is in charge of the life and death of everyone in the army, it can be said that as long as he says a word, no one will dare to say anything if he kills himself, the deputy commander, as for returning to Chang'an in the future, just give yourself a crime, after all, there are too many capital crimes in the military camp, and even if Li Shimin knows the truth, with Hou Junji's current merits and status, I'm afraid that Li Shimin won't really kill Hou Junji, and he will really die in vain at that time.

It is precisely because of the above that Su Dingfang chose Mingzhe to protect himself very wisely, and it is a big deal to return to Chang'an in the future to discuss this matter with Li Xiu, and then someone will naturally clean up Hou Junji.

"Hehe, Dingfang, you are indeed a smart person, and when you go back, you will naturally have your share!" Hou Junji saw Su Dingfang change his words, and he smiled proudly at the moment, he liked this feeling of being in power very much, even if it was a general who was Xiaoyong, he had to obey when he saw him.

Hearing that Hou Junji was going to give himself one, Su Dingfang was also shocked, because he knew that this was not Hou Junji's kindness, and he wanted to pull him into the water, so he didn't dare to poke this matter out easily.

"Thank you, General!" Although he knew that Hou Junji was not well-intentioned, Su Dingfang still had to accept it, if he didn't accept it now, it would be clear that he had drawn a clear line with Hou Junji, and with the other party's suspicious character, maybe he would find a reason to kill himself, so Su Dingfang could only pretend to be obedient.

Seeing that Su Dingfang promised to accept the "spoils", Hou Junji finally showed a somewhat satisfied smile on his face, and then ignored the other party, and Su Dingfang also used the excuse that he still had to inspect Gaochang City, and immediately withdrew from the palace, and after dark, Hou Junji really sent a cart of property to Su Dingfang's residence, and Su Dingfang accepted it quietly, but secretly he registered these belongings so that he could hand them over in the future, so as not to burn this fire on himself.

Hou Junji is used to being domineering in the army, so he has possessed the property of the Gaochang palace and did not deliberately conceal it, as a result, in just a few days, it has spread throughout the army, as the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Hou Junji is greedy for the property of the palace and fattened himself, and other generals in the army can't help it, as a result, the dignitaries and nobles in Gaochang City suffered, and from time to time they were copied by the Tang Army on a casual charge, and the property copied out was naturally greedy by these people. Gaochang City, which was originally very safe, was also jumping for a while, and the people in the city were also in danger!
