Chapter 628: Guo Xiaoke

So, soon, in Jinyang, the emperor carried out a rectification campaign in the ministers, guards, and local officials and schools accompanying the driver, mainly aimed at the situation that the disciples offended the teacher, the slaves and maids ignored the masters, and the subordinates despised the superiors.

At the same time, the emperor made a small adjustment to the soldiers stationed in the Western Regions, the old Gaochang army and the town soldiers and the exiled prisoners all lived in Xizhou, which was more mixed, and the emperor appointed Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Liangzhou, as the assassin of Xizhou.

Although the adjustment is very small, Liangzhou is the governor of Xizhou, and they are all in the Western Regions, but compared to Liangzhou, Xizhou is closer to the west, and Liangzhou has always been dominated by Han people, but Xizhou is nominally ruled by Han people, and it is only a matter of nearly two years that it has been completely occupied.

Therefore, compared with the stability of Liangzhou, the situation in Xizhou is much more complicated, especially the emperor also threw all the condemned prisoners and exiled prisoners to Xizhou, and social security has been greatly affected.

Chu Suiliang said in the book before: "Since ancient times, the holy kings have ruled the world, all of them are the border tribes of China first and then the Quartet. His Majesty sent an army to capture Gaochang, dozens of countries in the Western Regions, and the local area was in a depression and could not recover for many years; Every year, tens of thousands of government soldiers need to be requisitioned to garrison the border, far away from the countryside, and go bankrupt to prepare for the army. Moreover, the prisoners were exiled here, and these people were scoundrels, who were harassing the border on a large scale, and it would not be beneficial to arrange the troops. These people fled again and again, in vain pursuit. In addition, the area passed along the way, thousands of miles of desert, the wind blows like a knife in winter, the wind blows like a fire in summer, and pedestrians come and go, and it is often difficult to escape death when encountering this situation. If the Western Turks invade and there is a beacon fire alarm in Zhangye and Jiuquan, does Your Majesty still expect to use a soldier in the Western Regions to fight for food, and in the end, it will be necessary to levy and distribute the soldiers, horses, grain and grass from the Longyou states before going to the front. However, the Mobei area is my Tang Dynasty's henchman; The Western Regions are but the siblings of others; Why waste it to occupy useless land? “

Chu Suiliang is a resolute anti-war person, and he is also a person who resolutely insists that the land of other countries is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, and it is useless to ask for it.

This person is very old-fashioned, in his opinion, the Tang Dynasty has occupied the most elite place in the world, whether it is the miasma of Lingnan or the snow-capped Southwest Plateau, or the Western Regions of the Gobi Yellow Sand, which is a Jedi on earth, a place abandoned by God, the Han people should abandon these places as if they were a shoe, how can they covet these places, or even occupy them.

Wenchen, or the old-fashioned Wenchen, completely short-sighted, Li Shimin's vision is much more open than a minister like Chu Suiliang now, don't look at Chu Suiliang has been following the emperor and knows a lot of secrets, but there are still many secrets that he doesn't know.

The emperor knew that Wu Yuanqing had some shocking remarks about Li Chengqian, Li Tai and they all knew that they would tell their father, the emperor and the queen mother, but these conversations would not have Chu Suiliang to participate in the audit.

Therefore, although Li Shimin has some doubts, he believes more that there is a bigger and broader world outside Datang, and those places are no worse than Datang, and even more rich.

Therefore, Li Shimin completely scoffed at Chu Suiliang's words, because if you can't even occupy the surrounding places and can't stabilize them, then how to occupy and rule more and broader territory in the future.

Although Datang is big, as long as it is occupied by Datang, no inch of land is useless.

Therefore, for Xizhou, where social security has deteriorated and is somewhat unstable, Li Shimin sent Guo Xiaoke to govern.

Don't look at this person's reputation, but in fact, this person is also a famous general in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

There are too many famous generals in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, so the top celebrities are a lot, and the slightly weaker ones are covered up.

Guo Xiaoke is such a famous player who loses his popularity if he is a little weaker.

Guo Xiaoke was a brother in the trenches with Li Ji in his early years, and in his early years, he led the crowd to join Wagang, and guarded Liyang with Xu Shixian, that is, Li Ji, and then followed him to the Tang Dynasty, and sealed the history of Song Prefecture and Yangzhai County, it can be said that Guo Xiaoke is Li Ji's sworn friend, just like the relationship between Cheng Yanjin and Li Ji.

This Wagang has indeed produced too many talents, and the relationship between these old brothers in Wagang is very harmonious.

In the second year of Wude, Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, broke through Liyang and captured Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, Xu Gai, the father of Li Shixian, and others. Li Shiyun was forced to surrender to Dou Jiande, but remained loyal to the Tang Dynasty and discussed with Guo Xiaoke a plan to escape. Guo Xiaoke said: "We should first gain their trust, and then try to get out." Li Ji agreed.

In the third year of Wude, Dou Jiande's wife and brother Cao Dan plundered and harassed in Henan, causing dissatisfaction among many followers. Li Wenxiang, the leader of the Xiangzhou uprising, became brothers with Li Shichang and wanted to kill Cao Dan and surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Li Shiyun and Guo Xiaoke led dozens of horses back to the Tang Dynasty.

Later, when Li Shimin went east to Luoyang, he adopted Guo Xiaoke's suggestion of "sticking to the tiger prison, the army is in the water, and adapting to the situation", won the victory in the battle of the tiger prison, and captured Dou Jiande alive, so Guo Xiaoke moved to Shangzhu State, and later served as the assassin of Bei Zhao Jiangjing in four states, and then entered the dynasty as Taifu Shaoqing, Zuo Xiaowei general.

This is a very bullish character, Li Shimin sent him to Xizhou to show the importance of Xizhou.

In fact, it is also normal, Xizhou can only be stable when the Western Regions are stable, after all, Xizhou is the most important town of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, and the cement road is being built from Yumen Pass to Xizhou, but there is a desert in the middle, and the construction of the cement road project is very arduous.

But as long as it is repaired, there will be no problems if you ask the entire huge Western Regions of Xizhou, and even if there is a problem, there will be Xizhou nailed to the Western Regions like a nail, and it is very easy to re-stabilize the rebellion.

Not long after Guo Xiaoke was appointed as the assassin of Xizhou, the Western Turkic Yibi Lu Khan couldn't bear to covet the Western Regions, and brazenly sent troops to invade the Western Regions, and sent troops to invade Yizhou.

Guo Xiaoke led 2,000 light cavalry to intercept them from Wugu and defeated them. Yibi Lu also sent two tribes of Chu Yue and Chu Mi to besiege the Tianshan Mountains, and Xiaoge repelled them, pursued them by victory, and pursued them until they reached the Suo Mountain, and then surrendered the secret soldiers and then triumphed.

Guo Xiaoke just took office and made a great achievement, and the Western Regions, 2,000 soldiers and horses defeated the enemy of the Western Turkic invasion and fled, and captured thousands of prisoners, once again let the people of the Western Regions see how strong the Tang Dynasty's combat power is, how monstrous the fighting spirit is, and reminds them of the nightmare again, how Hou Junji led people to sweep through dozens of countries in the entire Western Regions, and destroyed countless countries.

After this war, the Western Regions became more stable, and the public security in Xizhou was much better.
