The holy decree was announced to the world, and the Eighth Army of Xiyuan was officially established. He Jin quickly put a list on the table, and Yuan Shao, Bao Hong, Cao Cao and others were appointed as captains of Xiyuan. The Xiyuan Army was huge, and the captain of the military colonel, Jian Shuo, could even command the general He Jin.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty created a precedent for eunuchs to command the army, and the historical impact of this matter was so bad that I am afraid that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who was addicted to the sound of dogs and horses, could not have predicted it.

Guo Yi received the title of General Zhenxi, although it is useless, but it is always good to improve the title. Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo have withdrawn from their divisions, and the management of Liangzhou has been handed over to Guo Yi.

Guo Yi renamed Shang Guo as: Tianshui. The relocation of the Thorn Shizhi was intended to restore production in the area, and also to facilitate the connection between the various counties.

With the defeat of the kingdom army, the generals of the Xiliang rebels were ambushed one by one, and only Han Sui was still fleeing. Guo Yi commanded the troops, attacked on multiple fronts, and marched westward all the way.

Most of the counties and counties surrendered to the imperial court. However, in ten days, Jincheng County was recovered, Guo Yi crossed the Yellow River, and Lema Qinghai Lake, which is the source of Huangshui. Further west, there is the Tibetan Plateau. The biggest enemy here is not the Qiang, but altitude sickness. Whether it was an ordinary soldier, or Guo Yi, Long Yi and others, they could not continue to advance.

"Humanity is too fragile, and a mere natural climate can easily stop a winning army."

Crossing the vast Qinghai Lake, more than 100 miles to the west, at an altitude of thousands of meters, looking up at the unattainable Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, here is his limit. His ambition had to be terminated here, and when nature was his enemy, he was helpless.

A stone tablet was erected in this place, and two words were written on it: Tianjun.

Looking at the Qilian Mountain in the north, Guo Yi sighed, the south of the Qilian Mountain is not owned by the Han Dynasty, and he can reach Tianjun, which is already an unprecedented "expansion of territory".

Leaving the plateau, Guo Yi reorganized the troops, horses, population, and defense, and set up a monument on the vast valley and plain eighty miles away from the Linqiang Pass, and ordered the construction of a city here, named Xining.

Bypassing the Qilian Mountains and walking west along the Hexi Corridor, most of the sights along the way are the dilapidated Great Wall. The territory of the Han Dynasty had long since crossed the Great Wall, but its rule over these regions was extremely loose.

There was no decent resistance, and a city was easily captured in just a day. Guo Yi deeply felt the power of the "Son of Heaven", even in the rebel area, when the central officers and soldiers were killed, it would be much easier to surrender.

"General! The court has a decree to order the generals to return to the court! ”

At this time, in 188 A.D., that is, in the fifth year of Zhongping, March 27. Guo Yi had just recovered Wuwei County and entered the territory of Zhangye County. Han Sui is still on the run, and he is fleeing with Ma Chao.

Guo Yi wanted to chase and kill to the end in one go, kill Han Sui and eliminate hidden dangers. The second is to recover the western coolness and dredge the bath. But with a holy decree, he had to stop the army!

In modern times, these areas are tourist destinations and aerospace bases. At this time, it has become the end of his ambition.

Guo Yi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and wanted to disobey the holy decree and continue to move west. But Yang Bo and others tried their best to persuade him not to ruin his future because of a momentary mood.

Fan Xin said a very unpleasant sentence, "The lord of the world has abandoned this place, and the lord is just a retainer, so why bother with this?" ”

Yang Bo also advised: "The general is a courtier, so he should respect the will and not violate it." In the eyes of the emperor, Liangzhou has long been not owned by the Han Dynasty. ”

To sum up, they have one meaning: the emperor's affairs, do you care about him?

"Here, please!" Before the class, Guo Yi said goodbye to many guards one by one and told them to guard their camps to prevent the rebels from counterattacking. Liangzhou also has Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County three counties have not been recovered.

Guo Yi looked at the west from afar, and said that the spring breeze did not pass the Yumen Pass, but he had never seen the Yumen Pass. When I thought about the modern study trip, I sketched and painted with my classmates in Dunhuang, what a scholarly atmosphere at that time. I couldn't help but say, "One day, I'm going to sketch again!" ”

The generals didn't understand the meaning of sketching, but they thought he had made an oath to regain the lost land.

Back in Tianshui, another decree arrived. Worship Guo Yi as a servant, and ask to be relieved of military power and enter the court. It seems that the imperial court is really afraid that he will divide one side.

Fan Xin immediately said: "Lord, this matter cannot be done. ”

Guo Yi thought about it and didn't have an idea. If you enter the court by yourself, you will definitely have to hand over your military power, and the Central Army will not allow local officials to bring troops into Beijing because of its own soldiers.

Fan Xin proposed: "It's better to study Dong Zhuo and ask to be an official in other places and retain military power." ”

Dong Zhuo was appointed as a young man, but he refused, finding various reasons not to take office and not to hand over power. It's just that Huangfu Song is an absolute loyal minister, and he won't cut first and then play. So much so that after returning to Sili, Huangfu Song continued to guard Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo became a big trouble.

In the end, the imperial court had to compromise and appoint Dong Zhuo as the pastor of the annexed state, handing over the military power to Huangfu Song. Dong Zhuo pushed back and did not go, and in the end the court could only allow him to lead 5,000 people to take up his post, so he agreed, but he did not leave when he walked to Hedong County, and sat and watched the situation in the world.

The incompetence of the imperial court was undoubtedly revealed from this matter, and some people even suggested summoning Guo Yi to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but of course this suggestion was directly vetoed.

As for the original agreement between Guo Yi and Dong Zhuo on the three thousand war horses, it would have been invalidated a long time ago! Politics is so unpredictable, and Guo Yi can't recover it.

"It's easy." Wang Yi broke the silence, as a first-time wife, she had less of a girl's innocence and more of a young woman's charm than before, and her eyes were even more charming.

"The husband went to the court and ordered Lord Yang to assassinate the history of Liangzhou, so the matter of Liangzhou can be decided. Secondly, as a reward, the war horses and quartermasters, etc., were given to the sergeants to send them back to their hometowns. With Fujun's status among the sergeants, even if it is another three or five years, as long as the husband gives an order, who of the generals will dare to follow him? ”

"One more thing." Fan Xin seemed to be inspired, and said with a smile: "The lord is worried about the map. Now that the soldiers are dismissed, isn't it just the right time to send them to record the situation in various places for another day? ”

Guo Yi took Wang Yi's hand and said happily: "You are really my little heart." ”

Yang Bo is different from Zhang Ting and others, he was born in a famous family, and he has settled in Xiliang, and he will not leave this place unless he has to. Guo Yi works happily with him, but he doesn't follow him. Rather than this, it is better to sell a face when you leave and recommend him, which can be regarded as gaining a little favorability in front of Hongnong Yang.

Yang Bo and others have no objection to this, theoretically speaking, this is indeed an appropriate way.

At that moment, Guo Yi went to the court and wrote down his requirements one by one. The imperial court agreed without saying a word, and even allowed Yang Bo to inherit Guo Yi's scepter and continue to act cheaply.

Guo Yi said to Yang Bo: "With you, I can sit back and relax." ”

Yang Bo was also very moved, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the general's kindness." ”

Emotionally speaking, this is indeed the most comfortable result for Guo Yi, at least, with Yang Bo's ability, it should be no problem to keep Liangzhou stable.
