The dispatch order of an official document from the military department was in a hurry, and it was sent to Tuyuhun at a speed of 800 miles a day, day and night.

Within ten days, Pang Feihu, Kang Bao, Ruan Laosan, and Zhu Fatzi and others returned to Chang'an one after another and gathered in the Pingyang County Mansion in Taipingfang.

After more than a year, the reunion of old friends and old departments is naturally a different taste in my heart.

Guo Mansion, in the back garden.

The afternoon sun is charming, shining on everyone is particularly warm, making people feel more lazy after dinner.

Guo Ye asked his subordinates to make a pot of tribute tea given by His Majesty Li Er, and shared it with Pang Feihu and others.

After a few rounds of tea, everyone picked up the conversation again and chatted with great interest, chatting about the gossip and little anecdotes they had been guarding the city in Tuyuhun these days.

At this time, Guo Ye was lazily leaning on the recliner, squinting his eyes and smiling, listening without saying a word, he was definitely a very good listener.

After Ruan Laosan had just finished telling a joke when he was defending the city, he suddenly heard Zhu Fatzi slap his big fat leg fiercely, and exclaimed: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot to tell my little brother something." Little brother, just when our brothers left Tuyuhun Road, I heard that Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, committed suicide by taking poisoned wine the night before, do you think this is evil? When this county prince was in Tuyuhun, he didn't bully a few of our brothers, you see, why do you say that you will die! ”

Guo Ye didn't move when he heard this, and said secretly, Qianniuwei's movements were quite fast, and a secret decree of death came down, and Li Xiaogong said that it would be gone.

Kang Bao, who was sitting next to him, was reminded by Zhu Fatzi, and also echoed: "Fortunately, Zhu Fatzi mentioned this, otherwise I would have forgotten." To say that this Li Xiaogong is not a thing. Before, little brother, you asked someone to send a message, saying that we should obey his dispatch, and I felt awkward for a while. ”

"yes!"

Pang Feihu also sighed lightly and said: "Li Xiaogong didn't say anything about the march, but he did too unkind to win people's hearts. In terms of military salaries, grain and grass, when he has never given the full amount, he will definitely not deduct one point if he can deduct two points. ”

"No!" Ruan Laosan also said indignantly, "I think that at the beginning, the food and salary of the wolf army under our respective commands were not deducted by him. Zhu Fatzi has been in charge of the grain and grass of the Wild Wolf Army, and he has the most right to speak. ”

Going around and around, the words returned to Zhu Fatzi.

Zhu Fatzi spat on the ground fiercely, and said angrily: "Damn, even the eight-bull crossbows we brought from Shuzhong were requisitioned by him." This eight-ox crossbow is a rare thing, and as soon as Li Xiaogong heard that I had this thing in the hands of this baggage battalion, he immediately thought of the law and requisitioned it. To this day, these eight-bull crossbows are still in his hands. This is a, and he doesn't know who to ask for in the future when he dies. ”

"Okay, okay~"

Guo Ye sat up leisurely from the recliner and waved his hand: "Human death is greater, since Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is dead, then the dust will return to dust, and we can't be guilty of saying that people are not right behind our backs." The eight-bull crossbow is not a priceless thing, if it is gone, it will be gone. ”

After that, he glanced at everyone and asked: "I think you must have seen clearly the official document sent by the Ministry of War, in addition to transferring a few of you to the account of the general manager of my Guangnan Road March, the Ministry of War also allows you to transfer 1,000 people from your respective wolf army as the skeleton of the formation of a new battalion, and also allows you to temporarily promote your subordinates in the wolf army and temporarily take over your garrison in Tuyuhun to defend the city. This is a precedent that has never been seen in the past, which shows that the emperor's grace is vast, and Li Weigong is also very compassionate. ”

Pang Feihu nodded and said, "Little brother, don't worry, we only transferred 1,000 old soldiers from the wild wolf army under our respective commands to Chang'an to form a new battalion." As for the generals of the garrison who were promoted to replace us, they are all our own old men. It's not from Longxi's hometown that you follow the little brother, it's the old subordinate when the Xichuan Xiaodu Protectorate was formed. These people will never do anything ungrateful. ”

Pang Feihu still understood Guo Ye's thoughts, and his words immediately relieved Guo Ye's worries.

That's it!

Guo Ye bowed his head with a smile on his face and said: "That's good, this time the imperial court asked me to be the general manager of the Guangnan Road march and form the Guangnan Road army to go south to quell the rebellion." Therefore, in addition to the 1,000 men and horses you each brought, the imperial court will also transfer about 20,000 soldiers and horses from me, which can almost form four new battalions to make up one guard. Fortunately, the 20,000 or so soldiers and horses are all the old team of my father-in-law, Huo Guogong Chai Shao, so there will be no obstacles in commanding the march. However, with the qualifications of a few of you, for the time being, you can only lead a new battalion with the rank of guerrilla general. In other words, if you come to me, you can only storm the city and charge into battle. As for wanting to be promoted, it depends on your military merits to speak. ”

"Of course!"

Kang Bao patted his chest and shouted loudly: "If you are greedy for life and fear of death, we will not come to Chang'an to follow your brother-in-law." Besides, a few of our brothers are here to go south to counterinsurgency this time to earn military merits, hey, stay in Tuyuhun all day long and guard a bird city, there is no war and no banditry, when will you be a head if you want to get promoted? ”

Ruan Laosan and Pang Feihu also nodded again and again, echoing yes, yes, yes, agreeing with Kang Bao's statement.

Only Zhu Fatzi glanced at Pang Feihu and Kang Bao, and then looked at Guo Ye, wanting to say but stopping, he had something to say but didn't know where to start, and he was uncomfortable.

Guo Ye found Zhu Fatzi's twist, and asked with a smile: "Old Zhu, ask whatever you want, do your brothers still use these twists and turns?" ”

Zhu Fatzi sneered, pointed at Kang Bao and the others, and said weakly: "Little brother, you said that the Guangnan Road army formed four new battalions, Flying Tiger, Lao San, and Kang Bao, the three of them are all tiger generals who are good at commanding troops and charging into battle, but I will take care of the baggage battalion to escort the grain and grass for you to manage the logistics. If I am also in command of a battalion to attack the city or something, will I miss your big matter, little brother? ”

Guo Ye was reminded by him, and he was immediately dumbfounded, yes, Pang Feihu and Kang Bao each commanded a battalion, whether it was the experience of leading troops to fight, or the style on horseback, it was no problem. And if Zhu Fatzi wants to lead a battalion to charge into battle, it will be almost meaningless.

It is somewhat far-fetched to let an account office who intends to make a sand table to deduce the sand table and kill the enemy.

But if Zhu Fatzi doesn't lead the first battalion, who will the battalion hand over? Suddenly, Guo Ye really had the feeling that Liao Hua, a general in Shuzhong, had become a pioneer.

Suddenly, Kang Bao glared at Zhu Fatzi fiercely, and said, "You bastard, you are afraid of death?" ”

Ruan Laosan also blamed: "Lao Zhu, you are too timid, you will die of your wife and children in your life." ”

Only Pang Feihu was calmer, and he bowed his head slightly and smiled bitterly at Guo Ye: "Lao Zhu's concerns are not unreasonable, little brother." ”

Guo Ye snorted, smiled at Zhu Fatzi and said with relief: "Old Zhu, you will continue to manage the army's salary, grain, grass and baggage." When it comes to marching and fighting, it's important to charge into battle, but so is logistical supplies. ”

Zhu Fatzi hurriedly got up, bowed to Guo Ye gratefully, and thanked: "The little brother still understands me Zhu Fatzi, I will not let the little brother down." ”

After speaking, he looked at Kang Bao with a little grievance, as if to say that you will wronged me.

Kang Bao didn't pay attention to him, but asked in embarrassment: "Brother-in-law, who is in charge of the fourth battalion?" You can't be a marching commander and lead a battalion and then charge into battle, right? ”

Guo Ye smiled: "Why not? I originally broke down from the sea of blood in the rain of guns and arrows, corpses, and corpses, is it possible that you are still worried that I am not as good as you when I go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

"Hey, I didn't mean that."

Kang Bao hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "You are the general manager of the army all the way, and it is only a matter of duty to stay in the rear to strategize and command the formation. Wouldn't it be unseemly to take the lead and kill the enemy and let you do it? It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. ”

"Okay, don't talk about me so weakly, as if it's so expensive. Isn't it just ......"

"Report to the county grandfather!"

A subordinate shouted at the crescent arch in the back garden, and immediately interrupted Guo Ye's words, and then shouted loudly: "Grandpa Jun, our aunt is back, shouting to see you in the flower hall!" ”

Auntie?

Guo Ye's mind didn't react for a while, when did his old Guo family still have such a relative?

Seeing him stunned, Pang Feihu reminded Guo Ye excitedly: "Isn't your aunt the husband of Xiaoman, the rabbit cub of Erniu." ”

"What? Erniu is back? ”

Guo Ye slapped his forehead, and finally understood, and immediately wondered: "Didn't this kid be transferred to the Tubo battle by the British Duke Li Jizheng on the side of the Xichuan Metropolitan Protectorate?" Why did you run back to Chang'an again? Could it be that a few of you sent someone to carry him a letter before you left Tuyuhun? ”

Pang Feihu shook his head and said no.

Kang Bao, Ruan Laosan, Zhu Fatzi and others were even more dazed, and the stall hands said no.

Since there are few of them, how did this kid rush back to Chang'an from Tubo in a good manner?

Hell, isn't it for the purpose of going south to quell the rebellion? So why did you come back at this time?

For a while, Guo Ye really couldn't figure it out.

Immediately, he beckoned to the subordinate and ordered: "Go, call me in the bastard of Erniu, and I will ask him properly." If you let Lao Tzu know that he dares to withdraw from Tibet without authorization, see if I don't pick up his cowhide alive! ”

"Well, the little one will go and invite my aunt into the garden."

The voice fell, and the next person had already turned around and rushed to the flower hall to invite Cheng Erniu.
