Although the affairs in Luoyang were upset, since the decision was made and entrusted to Princess Gu'an and Chibi, Du Shiyi simply let go.

He is not an all-powerful god-man, and he is a decisive victory thousands of miles away in his strategy, and it depends on what the situation is. The affairs of the harem of the capital court are changing rapidly, and they are very complicated compared to the battlefield, and he has not yet had the conceit to be able to play everyone in the palm of his hand. Instead of spending his mind on those political battles for succession, as Longyou Jiedu, he naturally has his own things to do. The reason why Zhang Xing was sent to Tubo was that he heard from hearsay that the Son of Heaven was moved by the fact that Tubo Zanpu had no heirs, and secondly, because he wanted to fight for Zhang Xing's merits, so that he could be promoted to be the judge of the festival.

Although the secretary in charge seems to be a heart, it is a world of difference compared to the judge of the festival who can also know the aftermath of the branch camp and the field guard. Moreover, he needs to judge whether there will be a war in Longyou in a short period of time, so he can take advantage of this to further sort out the personnel!

But the most important thing is that when Gao Shi Wang Changling and Feng Changqing first returned from Anxi, they once revealed that Tubo planned to completely annex Xiao Bolu as they originally annexed Tuyuhun, so that the big and small Bolu would be in their hands, and they would have a bridgehead for the Western Regions countries west of the four towns of Anxi, and they could further annex them all, and then shrink their fists to plot against the Western Regions. For this reason, Tubo must not be allowed to withdraw his sight from Helong.

But that's for later, and the priority now is in Rivers State. Guo Jian's interview with Miao Yansi's subordinates in Hezhou Assassin Shi and Longyou Dao can be said to be the two of them tossing each other, and Miao Yansi is superior in the end. The reason why he asked Miao Yansi to concurrently serve as the assassin of Hezhou was not because Miao Jinqing had been in office for more than a year, and he had established some teams in Hezhou with his steady skills, and although the Guo family had people in the Zhenxi Army, it was not as good as before after all. Therefore, with Guo Jian's temper, he actually sent him a letter to complain, and he almost didn't say with a handful of snot and tears about how Miao Yansi bullied people!

So, a few days later, he entrusted the affairs of the Jiedu to Duan Xingchen, the judge of the Jiedu, and Wang Zhongsi assisted in military affairs, and repeatedly instructed Duan Xiushi to watch the young men of Du Guangyuan and Wang Du in the elite hall of the army, and entrusted all the chores to his wife Wang Rong, and set off for Hezhou with hundreds of soldiers.

Compared with the population of the three counties in Shanzhou, Hezhou had a population of more than 10,000 at the beginning of Zhenguan, but now a hundred years have passed, and the population of those states and counties in the hinterland of the Central Plains that have rarely suffered from military disasters has increased by four or five times, while the population of Hezhou is still only in the early 30,000s.

It is precisely because the land of Hezhou has always been the center of the tug-of-war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and once the two countries fight, this place will be thousands of miles away!

Hezhou and Shanzhou seem to be less than 400 miles apart, but if you take the official road, you have to go from Huangshui City to Jincheng County, Lanzhou, and then go south from Jincheng County to Hezhou Prefecture to govern Caohan City. Therefore, Du Shiyi took the marching road, led by Chen Sheng, who knew the way of the old horse, and crossed the Yellow River from Imjin Gudu, near the Jishi Army, and arrived at Caohan City, which was already the fifth day after his departure.

Everyone in his group had horses, and he still walked for many days on the march of more than 600 miles. Because he didn't leak the news in advance before he came, when his dusty group appeared in Hezhou, it naturally surprised the people who were farming in the fields. Those who are literate can see clearly that the banner is marked with the name of a Longyou section Dudu, and then gradually settle down.

"Tubo crossed the border brazenly before the time, but it is not a bad thing, now in order to show their sincerity, all the Chiling area is withdrawn, according to the meaning of His Majesty, the Tang Dynasty is also fully disarmed in the Chiling area, only in Shibao City, Jishi Army and other places to station heavy troops to prepare for the defense, but also save the pain of the soldiers guarding Chiling."

For Gao Shi's statement, Du Shiyi deeply agreed. He had been there twice since that inspection of Chiling, and each time he had to sigh at the magic of creation. It is the division of such a mountain, the west is the grassland grazed by the Tubo people, and the east is the fertile land cultivated by the Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians. Coupled with the high altitude and strong wind, it is a considerable test of human strength and endurance. Now it seems that the original force of Tibetan soldiers and horses who crossed the border turned bad things into good things!

Du Shiyi, who was a master of art, stepped on the border line from Kuozhou to Hezhou, and by the way, he also inspected the Zhenwu Army, the Jishi Army, the Zhenwei Army, and the Tiancheng Army, and then arrived at the city of Caohan by Pingyi. Even if his whereabouts were hidden at first, after arriving in Hezhou, one military town after another patrolled over, whether it was Miao Yanhei, the assassin of Hezhou, or Guo Jian, the general of the Zhenxi Army, they all heard the news. It is said that the former only sneered, but the latter was ecstatic and breathed a long sigh of relief. So, when they greeted them outside the city, the civil and military naturally behaved completely differently.

Assassin history governs the government regardless of the army, and if the governor does not concurrently assassinate the people, this is the rule of the early Tang Dynasty, but now it is no longer the old rules. Not to mention that most of the governors of the major border governors have a history of assassination, and gradually have jurisdiction over the states under their jurisdiction, and since there is a military and political envoy, the authority is even better than the governor. It seems that the grades are almost the same, but the upper and lower halls are strict, if Miao Yansi is not still the name of the Longyou Dao interview and disposal envoy, he himself knows it, and even now this seems to be a division of courtesy.

When Miao Yansi greeted him, he only said two cold and indifferent words, but Guo Jian was different, as soon as he saw each other and saluted, he said impatiently: "It is really a blessing for the military and the people to come to Hezhou. There are 11,000 people in the Zhenxi army, all of whom are looking forward to the marshal coming to parade! Moreover, I have been in office for several months, and the army has not yet completely sorted out the clues, and I am about to be instructed and admonished by the commander. ”

Guo Jian didn't even have a clue in the army, Du Shiyi looked at him again, his chin became pointy, and he smiled at the moment: "General Guo has really worked hard, the matter in the Zhenxi army, you can report to me alone when you go back." ”

Seeing that Guo Jian groveled to Du Shiyi, Miao Yansi suddenly sneered. His two sons, Miao Hanze and Miao Hanye, Miao Hanye is now the commander of Lantian County and is in Gyeonggi, which can be said to be the head of one party and has a good future; Miao Hanze is the long history of Suzhou, although he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River and is not the chief official, he is a rich place after all. If his two sons can return to the capital next, the imperial history of the Yushitai, the left and right under the Zhongshu Gate, and even go one step further to remove the Lang officials of the six departments of Shangshu Province, can be said to be very noble, so he has to admit that in addition to the power of the Shangdang Miao clan, Du Shiyi's secret promotion is indispensable.

Therefore, after welcoming people into the Hezhou Thorn History Bureau, after receiving him coldly as usual, seeing that Guo Jian was eager to drag Du Shiyi away immediately, he let it go immediately. As soon as this group left, the record that he was quite happy with joined the army couldn't help but admonish: "Envoy, Marshal Du is here in person, and General Guo is in such a hurry to invite people away, nine times out of ten, it is just to complain." Even if you are ......"

"You think I don't know what to do?" Miao Yansi didn't wait for the Hezhou Chronicle to join the army to finish speaking, he said with a smile, "I do have a personal enmity with Du Dashuai, but I won't pick a bone in the egg and find fault casually." As soon as Guo Jian took office, he wanted to be nepotistic in the army and continue his style in the Lintao army? There are no doors! There are rules for rewards and punishments, and he is not allowed to do whatever he wants. Even if Du Dashuai wants to help Guo Jian, he will not do everything he wants, and it is impossible to meddle in the affairs of my Hezhou casually! Unless my Longyou interview is not handled properly, otherwise, this Longyou will not be able to become a word! ”

Miao Yansi made such cruel remarks in front of his cronies, and Guo Jian invited Du Shiyi to his Zhenxi Army station, which was also a big pour. From Miao Yansi to the small mistake made by the soldiers in the city of Caohan, he ordered someone to kidnap and send him back for a long time of humiliation; and then fell into incompetence, but was seized by him and warned by others; and then he has severely punished his son who has committed crimes in the past, but he is still being manipulated by Miao Yansi...... Speaking of the worst, he was furious.

"Dashuai, this Miao Yansi is simply too deceitful, I really can't bear it! has repeatedly deceived me, I can not be as knowledgeable as him, but I heard that he is in the Assassination History Department, and he doesn't even take the handsome in his eyes! It's a big deal, I'll learn from Zhang Xiansu's department, and Dong Yuanli ......"

"You shut up for me, just because of Dong Yuanli's recklessness, Zhang Xiansu was stigmatized as a rebel, although his second son avenged his father, but Zhang Xiansu's case can be turned over?"

Du Shiyi asked repeatedly, and saw that Guo Jian was suddenly dumbfounded, he knew that this guy was just talking nicely, but in fact, he was a cautious person in his bones, otherwise Miao Yansi would take the handle, and Yao Feng would definitely be angry and go directly to the door to theorize, Wang Zhongsi must tie up the son of the crime, please deal with it according to the order, only this Guo Jian will be coerced because of this, and he is unwilling, but after all, he honestly went to the town to serve as a general in the western army. Therefore, since he knew that Guo Jian was just talking, he also hated this person for a long time, and when he saw that Guo Jian was down-to-earth, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Down-to-earth is down-to-earth, but Guo Jian is still worried about his future: "Dashuai, I understand, this Miao Yansi has repeatedly tried to torture me, obviously with bad intentions, and intends to surrender me to his use!" Dashuai relied on me, and I didn't want to live up to Dashuai's expectations, but ......"

"Miao Yansi, I will warn him not to go too far, and as for you, you also need to fight steadily and establish your prestige in the Zhenxi army. Don't let Miao Yanhei be nepotistic on the left, and have no way to control the right one, ruining your name! How old is Miao Yansi? How many years can he be the assassin of Hezhou? You are in the prime of life, and you have many military exploits, do not take advantage of the opportunity to serve as the general of the Zhenxi Army now, establish prestige among the military and the people, if there is another vacancy in the history of the Hezhou Assassin in the future, how can you logically fill it? ”

Du Shiyi's heart-to-heart words suddenly made Guo Jian's heart warm up again. He went to Hezhou Zhenxi Army to serve as a general, and he was not aggrieved in his heart, especially Du Shiyi's backhand promoted Wang Zhongsi to the general of the Lintao Army, and then made him the left wing soldier and horse envoy. Thinking about it, there have always been rumors in the Assassination History Department that Miao Yansi is not in good health, coughing at night is commonplace, and even often ignores government affairs due to illness, he can't help but believe it even more. But Du Shiyi's request sounded simple, but it was extremely difficult to do, and he couldn't help complaining: "But now that Tubo has stopped fighting and resting the army, since there is no war, I have been in the Lintao army for many years, and there are many factions in the Zhenxi army, how can I establish my authority?" ”

"Guo Jian, Guo Jian, what you are doing is thinking too much!" Du Shiyi shook his head angrily, and then said with a smile, "Do you know Lu Dao, after Yao Feng took office as the Kuozhou Assassin History, he also served as the general of the Jishi Army, what method did he use to establish his authority?" ”

Guo Jian and Yao Feng have been competing for many years, and seeing that he took a step to make himself envious when he took up the post of Kuozhou Thorn History and Jishi Military Envoy, he naturally had a long itch, so he was so eager when the Hezhou Thorn History was vacant. At this moment, seeing Du Shiyi take Yao Feng out as an example, he suddenly said sullenly: "Yao Feng's rough man has always been impatient, could it be that he is a killer?" ”

"You're right."

Guo Jian just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to be true, and his eyes widened. Killing a general is easier said than done, you must know that even a small brigade commander has a corresponding foundation in the army, and if he rashly marches and punishes him, he is likely to be resisted, let alone killed! Moreover, this is not wartime now, even if you are the main general, how can you easily kill the general?

"But how come I haven't heard of such a big thing!"

"First, Yao Feng is the history of the Kuozhou Thorn, as long as he hears this chestnut, it is enough for the generals and soldiers of the Kuozhou Army to know and be in awe, there is no need to spread such a reputation to other places, and secondly, Miao Yansi was also angrily accused, but I suppressed it. The two people who were slain were both guilty of their due crimes, one deliberately trampled on the wheat fields after hunting, and the other did not obey military orders when the Tibetan crossed the border to attack. Such a guilty general will kill two, and the army will be solemn! Even if Miao Yansi was noisy for a while, he couldn't do anything with him. But what about you? When a new official takes office, he needs to be cautious, and of course Huairou's methods are not bad, but look at your hesitation, how many handles have hit Miao Yansi's hands? ”

Yao Feng is rigid, Guo Jian is soft, it stands to reason that the two of them should have been both rigid and soft in the Lintao army, but because neither of them can get used to each other, they have been working against each other. Now that all of them have been transferred out of the Lintao Army, Guo Jian is full of strength and doesn't want Yao Feng to see the joke, but now listening to Du Shiyi's words, he gradually became depressed. I have to admit that Yao Feng's thunderbolt means are much stronger than his finger twisting softness!

"Thank you for the mention, the last general was too indecisive before!"

Du Shiyi knew that as soon as Guo Jian left, he would straighten out Wang Zhonghei, which would inevitably make Guo Jiansheng complain. Although he wanted to break the division of regions and factions in the original army, he didn't really intend to abandon Guo Jian, and this time he went to Hezhou to support him, of course, not just talking. But at the moment, of course, he would not find out this deep connection to Guo Jian, but he only asked all the people in the Zhenxi Army in detail, including those famous partial generals, and only then did he speak: "Okay, since you invited me from Miao Yansi in the name of the parade army, then let me see the military appearance of the Zhenxi Army!" ”

Guo Jian was also planning to let Du Shiyi take a look, although he was overwhelmed by Miao Yansi's toss, he was not without any achievements, so he immediately agreed. As early as after knowing the news that Du Shiyi had entered Hezhou, he announced the military parade to the lieutenant generals, and he had already gathered troops and horses.

The Zhenxi Army was set up in the third year of Kaiyuan, in order to facilitate the defense, most of the city was stationed in the city, and the rest were in Qingshui Township outside the city. When he came to the big school field where the Western Army in the town of Zaohan was located, he simply asked Du Shiyi to climb the arrow tower on the high place, and pointed to the battle formation below and explained endlessly, so that Wang Changling and Gao Shi, who had heard about Guo Jian's request for help, were quietly biting their ears there.

"This General Guo now has a bit of the spirit of pointing out the mountains and rivers, but seeing that he invited the marshal to complain in private, it is really hard to imagine how majestic he is in front of the next general."

"However, this drill in the Zhenxi Army is decent. I don't know if Lu Dao just has a good-looking shelf, or if it can be so majestic when it really hits the enemy. ”

Wang Changling and Gao Shi's voices were not loud, but Du Shiyi also noticed the whispering of the two, and after glancing at them, he pointed to the generals in the middle of the military formations and asked Guo Jian for their names and surnames. After Miao Yansi took over as the assassin of Hezhou, Wang Zhongsi went to the Zhenxi Army many times to assist in military affairs, and also recommended a few people to him, and he secretly remembered it in his heart, and at this time, he had to take the opportunity to see it all. When the drill for a whole hour was finally completed, he and Guo Jian got off the arrow tower and entered the Wuwei Hall where the generals of the Zhenxi Army were deliberating.

"Since the establishment of the Western Army in the third year of Kaiyuan, it has relied on the joint efforts of the upper and lower generals to resist Tibet outside the country. Today, I look at the weather of the western army in the town, and I deserve to be a mighty and majestic army! Seeing that the generals of the upper and lower armies all held their heads high and looked honored, he continued, "The Zhenxi Army, like the rest of the armies in Longyou, most of them are fathers and sons, brothers follow each other, and there is often more than one person in the family. After General Guo took office, he recommended him in front of me many times, so when I paraded the army today, I paid extra attention, and sure enough, many people lived up to his recommendation. ”

Guo's roots in Longyou for many years, like Yao Feng, who also came from Jiangmen, disagreed with it, but there were also those who admired Guo Zhiyun's former prestige, so Guo Jian took three or five cronies to the town to take up his post in the western army of this town, and naturally he was not pleasing to both ends - he felt that he was just stained with Guo Jiaguang, and he didn't have much real talent and learning, and he was disobedient to him; felt that as a child of the Guo family, he ate inside and out, and brought his uncle and clan brothers to justice, and also sneered at him. Therefore, at this moment, I heard Du Shiyi say that Guo Jian actually recommended many people in front of him, and the vast majority of them were full of surprise.

Even Guo Jian himself was taken aback, but he was so deep that he didn't show his face at all, but there was a drum in his heart. Referrer? He was busy reconciling factions in the Zhenxi Army, installing cronies, and wiping his butts for the generals who hit Miao Yansi's hands, where would he have time to recommend people to Du Shiyi?

Du Shiyi was satisfied with all kinds of expressions. The few who can ascend to the hall today are also partial to the generals, and as for the low-level officers at the level of the brigade commander, most of them are standing outside the Wuwei Hall. So, he pushed the handrail and stood up, his back was straight, and he said with a calm expression: "Chen Xihai, the partial general of the Zhenxi Army, once took the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops and horses, and he still fought hard in twelve places!" ”

"The general of the Zhenxi Army, Lu Mingbo, once had 800 soldiers, blocked the enemy 2,000, and did not retreat, if it wasn't for the reinforcements to arrive, he would almost die on the spot!"

"Wu Feng, the general of the Zhenxi Army, is good at recognizing people, among the soldiers under his command, he was promoted because of his military merits, and he is a partial, brigade commander and more than a dozen people, known as Bole in the army!"

Du Shiyi named them one by one, but all the people who were mentioned were excited. Everyone knows that in the two years since this Longyou Jiedu took office, it seems that he only fought a small ambush on the border, but whether it is to clean the Guo family by thunderous means, or to make various steady decrees in the Tuntian Jiazhan and Duzhi, Du Shiyi has succeeded Guo Zhiyun Wang Junyu, the third Jiedu envoy who is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Longyou. Not to mention, Du Shiyi is a famous man with three heads and the first, and today he can be praised and praised in public, and maybe he can become a popular figure in his poetry one day, which is not just a light on his face!

However, most people didn't guess Du Shiyi's mind. After he counted the names of more than a dozen people in a row, he said: "The land of a hundred battles in Longyou, now when Guo Dashuai Wang Dashuai was in office, it has been ten or twenty years, a generation of new people have replaced the old, you are all in your prime, although the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are making peace, but they still need brave generals who have experienced a hundred battles, so as to be able to ensure the safety of Longyou!" A few years ago, I have found out that although Tubo negotiated peace with my Tang Dynasty, it is still the country of my uncle and nephew, but although he temporarily stopped fighting in Helong, he still tried to conspire with Anxi. Therefore, I have asked His Majesty to issue an order, and in Shanzhou, the army of Shancheng Heyuan has increased from 2,000 to 4,000, and the Anren army in the west of Shancheng has increased from 8,000 to 10,000. ”

These words are usually the secrets of the lieutenant generals of the Zhenxi Army who do not know about the Dao, although they don't understand why Du Shiyi said this at this moment, everyone still pricked up their ears.

"Therefore, Chen Xihai is now promoted to the deputy general of the Heyuan Army, Lu Mingbo is the deputy general of the Anren Army, and Wu Feng is the main ...... of Suirong City."

In one breath, among the more than ten people who had just been admired, five people with particularly outstanding merits were singled out and assigned to those important military towns in Shanzhou that had sent heavy troops, and there was an uproar for a while. There are those who envy, envy and hate, and there are those who whisper to each other and do not understand their meanings. As for those who jumped from the side to defend the side, the mood was not to mention how agitated. After Du Shiyi's encouragement, Guo Jian was left alone, and he looked at the general of the Zhenxi Army who was still in shock, and said with a smile: "How?" These most brave people in the Zhenxi Army were promoted one by one, and they were transferred out of real positions, do you know what Lu Dao will do next? ”

For the first time today, Guo Jian gained awe of himself from the eyes of the generals of the Zhenxi Army, but he knew that these awe were all from this illusory recommendation. Although he didn't know how Du Shiyi knew everything about the western army of this town, how could he not know that this was a great opportunity? He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head and said: "The grace of the handsome man with guidance will be unforgettable!" ”

"Tubo is just a temporary respite, whether it is the four towns of Anxi, Helong or even Jiannan Road, all of them are bound to win, so at this time, not only can they not sit back and relax, but they must be strong and strictly guarded! In the near future, I will write Hexi Niu Marshal, Hexi Longyou Parade Horse, you cheer me up, what is there to fear of a Miao Yanhe? ”
