The spring flowers are blooming, the mountains are covered with green and beautiful, and the Weishui sleeps in the east; The breeze blew on the face, blowing the drum horn of the last year; The golden crow hung high, driving away the dream of last night. The world lasts, because of the encounter and joy, because of the encounter and sadness; Whether it's nostalgia or disgust, tired and tired.

Five miles east of Ji County, many officials greeted the new assassin. Yang Yong smiled like a spring flower, Gai Xun barely opened a pair of tired eyes, Li Yuan's heart lingered, and the rest of the people were either looking forward to it, or looking at the ground with low eyebrows, or looking at the sky with their eyes turned to the sky. This scene has become yesterday.

The generals behind Li Yuan were lined up: Dian Wei, You Cao, He Man, Huang Shao, He Yi, Wen Chou, Guan Hai, all wearing helmets and armor, robes and belts, their backs were like pine, and their faces were like deep winter.

The lower right of the seven generals is the Yangwei camp, and the eight hundred athletes ride war horses, wear rings around their waists, carry big bows on their backs, hold spears in their hands, and look solemn and do not squint.

The lower left is the broken camp, and the five hundred erlang stand like a pine, standing on the ground with a halberd, and do not smile.

The Li Ziqi of the captain of Huqiang is fluttering in the wind, and this military appearance is eye-catching.

Yang Yong sighed: "If there are more soldiers like this in the imperial court, why worry about the restlessness of the Quartet." ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "When we set out a year ago, there were still two thousand children, and when we returned, it was less than eight hundred, and in two or three years, I don't know how many of these soldiers will be left." ”

When Gai Xun heard this, his heart was sad and he didn't say anything.

A quarter of an hour later, dozens of black dots gradually became clear, and Geng and his personal soldiers were belated.

Geng is about forty years old, with a majestic posture and a majestic face, not like a scribe, like a military general, when he comes closer, he sees the soldiers behind Li Yuan at a glance, and he can't help but admire.

"You've been waiting for a long time, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The voice is loud and the demeanor is free.

Everyone had already dismounted and saluted. An introduction, a politeness.

"Captain Li, I've heard of your name for a long time, and when I see it today, I will know that your reputation is worthy of it." Geng said with a disdainful smile.

Li Yuan was humble again and again and followed him into the city.

Seeing the dense fertile fields, Geng Wei couldn't help but nod and said, "Lord Gai is really virtuous." ”

When they arrived in the city, they were first delivered, and then they were feasted.

Yang Yong's shoulders were heavy, although it was relaxed, but he really lost it, and he was still a little reluctant, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and getting drunk.

This feast did not disperse until the moon hung on the treetops.

Li Yuan was also drunk and did not return to the camp, but came to the mansion.

Tong Yu, Qi Min, and Wang Tie hurriedly served, poured water, and made beds.

Li Yuan's eyes were hazy and he fell asleep when he collapsed, and Tong Yu untied his wide clothes, and his face was pink.

Wang Mei and Dian Man lived in the backyard, and Dian Wei instructed his soldiers to guard them and go home to accompany his wife and children.

The next day, Geng sent someone to invite him.

Li Yuan took Dian Wei to the Thorn History Mansion and entered the hall, but he didn't see Geng Contempt, only engaged in Cheng Qiu.

Cheng Qiu didn't wait for him to ask, so he said: "Lord Yang left alone without telling everyone, and when Lord Thorn Shi learned about it, he hurriedly chased after him, but I don't know if I can catch up." ”

Li Yuan was stunned and wanted to say goodbye, but before he turned around, he heard the footsteps behind him, and his face was full of regret.

"I can't even see a figure for miles out of the city." Geng said with pity.

Cheng Qiu said on the side: "The mind of the adults can be learned from heaven and earth, so there is no need to worry about it." ”

Li Yuan also persuaded on the side, Geng sat in the middle, and asked: "When the western Xinjiang has been in chaos for a long time, does Liude have a plan to break the enemy?" ”

Li Yuan felt embarrassed, since the war, he won or lost on the battlefield, and afterwards he reflected and figured out, and his wisdom was not long, but in the face of the rebels who had accumulated grievances for a long time, he really didn't know if there was any way to solve it well, and replied: "Show it with grace and scare it with force." ”

Geng Wei is quite dissatisfied, isn't this a rehash of the same old tune? He was also not in Tibet, and said bluntly: "I am ready to dispatch soldiers and horses from all counties in Liangzhou to form a joint encirclement and enter Jincheng." ”

Li Yuan didn't have any other way, so he had to agree: "This plan is great!" However, there are still thieves in the counties, and they have to take advantage of the early plan. ”

Geng nodded and said: "Liude's words are reasonable, General Dong has defeated many enemies in the two counties of Beidi and Anding, and in less than a month, he will definitely be able to destroy the enemy and calm the chaos." ”

Li Yuan slandered in his heart, he was able to destroy the enemy in peace, but the thief went, and a big thief came, he didn't dare to say anything, and said in accordance with his words: "What the adults said is extremely true." ”

At this time, Gai Xun entered the hall, and Geng Contempt still respected him a lot, and hurriedly let him sit down.

Gai Xun asked, "I wonder what the adults called me?" ”

Geng smiled disdainfully: "It's just for the thief." ”

Gai Xun stroked his beard and said: "Liangzhou and Sanfu have suffered from disasters for a long time, and the soldiers are short of food, if you wait until the autumn harvest wheat is ripe, it will not be too late to start fighting at that time." ”

Geng was anxious to make meritorious service, but he did not get Gai Xun's support, although he knew that he was telling the truth, he was also a little annoyed.

Cheng Qiu saw it and objected: "Gai Taishou only said that our army has less food, can the rebels have more food?" In my opinion, this is the time to send troops. ”

Gai Xun glanced at him coldly and said, "There are more than 100,000 rebels, and how many can our army have?" The Qiang people have been skilled in bows and horses since childhood, and how is the combat strength of our army? ”

Cheng Qiu quibbled: "The enemy army was defeated last year, and it was when they were afraid of war, so if they didn't take advantage of the time to attack, should they wait for them to attack?" ”

Gai Xun frowned and said: "I'm all I say, since my lord is ordered to beg the thief, he is independent." ”

Geng Yan didn't want to make a fuss, so he hurriedly asked Li Yuandao: "What is Liude's opinion?" ”

The Qiang people have been making trouble for so many years, and there is no stability, how can you be stable as soon as you arrive, and return hard: "Now the counties are indeed short of soldiers and food, and it is the most important thing to persuade cultivation and military equipment." ”

Geng couldn't get the support of these two people, and said depressedly: "That's waiting." ”

Gai Xun and Li Yuan said goodbye and left, and Cheng Qiu said: "Your Excellency must make plans early, otherwise the court will blame you again." ”

The assassination history changed frequently, he was deposed and returned to his hometown, and there were few appointments, Geng was reluctant to lose his official position, and asked: "What is your strategy?" ”

Cheng Qiu said in a deep voice: "Liangzhou has rebelled many times, and officials from all over the country are inseparable from Haoqiang, they rely on their powers, corrupt the law, kill people and goods, and are like robbers. Now that the imperial court is short of soldiers and food, they should be allowed to return some of them. ”

Geng Contempt's face showed embarrassment, Cheng Qiu knew what he was worried about, and immediately said, "Don't worry, your lordship, the lower officials will take care of this matter." ”

"Let Yin Xi be scared, and the group of directors will be scared. Sorrowful, up and down. The mushrooms are growing, and the herbs are ......" Li Yuan chanted under the tree, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Pound, who came in a hurry.

"My lord, do you still have a love for poetry?"

"What's all the fuss you're all about?" Li Yuan stood up and handed the bamboo slip to Dian Wei.

Pang De stepped forward and said: "Cheng Qiu relied on Lord Thorn Shi to support him behind his back, and blatantly accepted bribes. Gai Taishou went to theorize, but was slandered by Cheng Qiu, and returned angrily! ”

Dian Wei said on the side: "I think Cheng Cheng is very good. ”

Pound slapped his thigh and said, "What a fart!" When Lord Yang was there, he was greedy for money, and after being reprimanded by Lord Yang, he restrained a lot. Lord Yang went, and unexpectedly began to make waves again. ”

Li Yuan stiffened his face and said: "Okay, you Pang Lingming, dare to slander Geng Tingshi here." ”
