In the city of Anbei Yatent, the soldiers and horses from Shuofang and Hedong who were originally dispatched are preparing for the return journey one after another. At the beginning of the planning, it was able to accommodate 150,000 households, and the reserves of grain and grass that could be hoarded, cattle and sheep in captivity were still short and quite limited after all, and the grain, grass and supplies lost by this expedition were all extraordinary figures, and every day the army stayed was an astronomical consumption. As for Guo Ziyi and Duan Guangzhen, the commanders of the Shuofang Army and the Hedong Army, they have not yet set off. Especially Duan Guangzhen has been under Du Shiyi for many years, even if he stays for one more day.

On this day, the book of meritorious deeds in Chang'an City was sent by the inner servant Pegasus. It was Li Jingren, who was second only to Gao Lishi, and according to his temperament, when he sent edicts to other border towns, prefectures, and counties, he all explicitly hinted at asking for things, but he was polite to Du Shiyi and restrained his behavior. It's not that Li Jingren is not greedy, but he has been soft in receiving Du Shiyi's gifts over the years, so he is naturally embarrassed to blackmail those generals and colonels who have been promoted to knighthood.

So, Du Shiyi personally came out to face Fu Li Jingren, and the rest of the people up and down got the official titles, and saved the trouble of perfunctory palace attendants, so they were naturally even more grateful to the boss.

Even if most people have been in the sea for many years, they have quite a lot of savings, but they can give it to those eunuchs who have insatiable desires, who will be willing?

Du Shiyi naturally would not let Li Jingren run thousands of miles in vain, and generously sold a grange in Pizhou, Gyeonggi Province, for a price almost equal to that of a free gift. After all, there is no picturesque scenery in Anbei Yatent City, and if you want to talk about the endless grassland, he has seen enough of it all the way from Shuofang. Now that the benefits are in hand, it is naturally better to go back quickly, so as to save some guys in the palace who are trying to climb up squeeze their seats.

And Du Shiyi personally sent him out of the city, watching those people gradually disappear from sight from afar, he looked around and said, "As soon as the angel leaves, you can also breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Of course, from yesterday to today, my whole body is tense, and I am afraid that there will be more thorns." Guo Ziyi was in a good mood this time, and he was in a good mood to replace Yan Kuan, who was in the thick of Fengcheng, and he was in the right mood, so he joked, "Fortunately, the handsome man blocked the limelight for us, otherwise we would have to take turns to invite this noble man one by one, and we may not be able to please us even if we rack our brains." ”

"These nobles in the palace are the most difficult to deal with, one is not good, they blow some wind in front of His Majesty, and we can't eat and leave." Li Guangbi used to be a thousand cows in the palace, and he knew the difficulties better, so even if he guessed that Du Shiyi would definitely bribe Li Jingren, after all, he blocked a big trouble for their subordinate generals. This time, he entered the capital of Anbei to protect the soldiers and horses of the left wing, and he was on the pillar country, and the rank of the military officer also rose a lot, so he was already satisfied.

Fugu Huaien also entered the deputy capital of Anbei, he is a Tiele person, he has not dealt with these eunuchs much, and he has not felt so deeply, but at this moment he casually sighed: "I heard that before His Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has never had a eunuch so high-flying. ”

"Of course, when Tang Long's coup d'état, His Majesty was able to cut off Princess Taiping, Gao Lishi and Yang Siqiao had great merit, and they would naturally reuse this generation." He was suddenly transferred from Hedong to the Western Regions, his official position was promoted, and his grade increased, but Duan Guangzhen was really not happy, plus he was not as good as Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi's father was a general, and he made great contributions, and Fugu Huaien also had a father who was the head of a clan, and now his tone was becoming more and more resentful and extreme, "Li Linfu is in power in the DPRK and China, and I think that even if everyone praised Yao and Song Dynasty back then, he has only been in power for a few years?" ”

"General Duan, be quiet, don't make trouble for the marshal. I'm waiting for a martial artist, what kind of government do you comment on? Guo Ziyi is sleek, and has always paid attention to her words, so she quickly reminded Duan Guangzhen.

Du Shiyi knew that Duan Guangzhen would definitely be angry in his heart, so he didn't say anything at the moment, and returned to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate with everyone. Since the book on meritorious deeds and rewards has been issued, Guo Ziyi is not good to delay any longer, so he proposed to leave for Lingzhou tomorrow, and Du Shiyi immediately ordered to prepare a practice banquet in the evening. After returning to Zhenbei Hall, he summoned Duan Guangzhen. When he went in, Duan Guangzhen was still angry, but after he came out, he was already in high spirits. As Du Shiyi said, people move dead trees to live, Beiting is far away in the Western Regions, even if the Son of Heaven is jealous, he will be less, and Li Yan is old after all, maybe one day, he will be able to save one side.

Hearing the news that Duan Guangzhen happily left Zhenbei Hall, Fugu Huaien, who had been staring at him all the time, couldn't help but be amazed.

But he doesn't care about other people's affairs at all. Before fighting alone, fighting until the moment when Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi were flanked back and forth, he didn't feel anything, and when he retreated to the military doctor to examine the wounds, he found that there were countless wounds on his body, some of which had been blurred and glued to his clothes, but the miraculous thing was that none of them were injured. Even so, under Guo Ziyi's undoubted military order, he was still the first squad to return to Anbei Yatent City. Knowing that Du Shiyi, who was quietly in charge, had really thwarted a conspiracy to set fire to the city and seize the city from inside and outside, he wanted to ask Du Shiyi alone, but until now that the court's book on meritorious deeds and rewards has arrived, he still can't speak alone.

But now that Guo Ziyi and Duan Guangzhen are leaving, he really can't hold it anymore, and as soon as Duan Guangzhen leaves, he goes straight to Zhenbei Hall, ignoring Longquan's obstruction, and directly bends his knees in front of the hall and shouts: "If the handsome man doesn't see me again, I will simply kneel here and ask to see me!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words fell, Fugu Huaien saw the gate of Zhenbei Hall open, followed by Du Shiyi, who looked helpless, stepped out of the door and came straight to him.

"Get up, the man has gold under his knees, and people see it and think that I treat the heroes harshly!"

Fugu Huaien had never disobeyed Du Shiyi's intentions, and he had to stand up at this moment. And Long Quan got Du Shiyi's look, and immediately walked quickly to the outside of the courtyard to guard. At this time, Du Shiyi spoke: "You are not a fool, I didn't see you alone before, you should know what it is for." To this day, your father has not given a single explanation except for sending a messenger to the city of Anbei to congratulate him on his victory. I think I've been kind to him all these years, but he's not as good as Abs, who knows his mistakes and can change them! ”

Although Du Shiyi was not talking about himself, but his father did such a thing, and Fugu Huai'en naturally felt uncomfortable. This time, he insisted on taking his two adult sons into battle, hoping to show his loyalty. However, his two sons were rewarded for their military exploits, and he himself was promoted to the position of deputy chief protector, but as soon as his father's affairs were not resolved, he could not feel at ease. Therefore, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and then raised his head and said, "I am willing to go to the servant department in person to persuade my father to plead guilty to the marshal." ”

"No need." Du Shiyi coldly spit out these three words, and when he saw that the face of the servant Gu Huaien had changed greatly, he said word by word, "Now the others only say that the Hui spy is making trouble in the city of Anbei Ya, and the lord of Tongluo, Absi, is leading troops to help defend the city, do you want to tell the world that your father, the lord of the servant Gu Department, Yi Li Siba, is a rebel?" ”

Knowing that he would be wrong about Du Shiyi's meaning, Fugu Huaien couldn't help but feel ashamed, but he didn't know what to say. But what Du Shiyi said next shocked him.

"I persuaded your father to return north because he could justifiably unite the fragmented Mobei Servant Solid Division, and he also proved with his own actions that he was worthy of my recommendation. But over the years, his power has grown, and his heart has grown, does he still remember his wife and Mrs. Luo who stayed in Xiazhou, as well as his other children? You and your two sons fought bravely for the Protectorate of the Metropolitan Government of Anbei, but what was he doing? Filial piety is human ethics, whether it is Datang or Tiele, so I will not force you to kill your relatives in righteousness, but your father is no longer suitable to continue to be the master of this servant! ”

Fugu Huaien had guessed this possibility, but when Du Shiyi said it himself, his face was still gloomy. After a long while, he asked in a low voice, "Then under the great handsomeness, who is the one who will take over as the master of the servant solid department?" ”

"Do you still want to ask me? On the patriarchal law, you are the firstborn of your father; In terms of official position, you are now the deputy capital protector of the Metropolitan Protector of Anbei, and you are on an equal footing with Absi, shouldn't you take up this burden? Du Shiyi was dumbfounded when he saw the servant Gu Huaien, as if he had never thought that he could do this, he couldn't help but hate iron and steel, and said, "Even if you don't have time to distract him, don't you still have a son?" ”

Fugu Huaien suddenly realized, thinking that he had just thought that Du Shiyi was going to support a puppet, he was suddenly extremely embarrassed. So, he took a step back, bent one knee and saluted deeply: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle the affairs of the servant department, and I will never let the marshal worry again!" ”

When Fugu Huaien got up and strode away, Du Shiyi knew that with his more than ten years of experience in Shuofang and Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, coupled with the prestige of the famous Mobei, as the eldest son of Yi Li Siba, this trip should not encounter any problems. Even if Yi Li Siba used to be quite different, he should also understand that when Hui Hui has been defeated, the lord of Tongluo has been subdued, and there is Du Bo in the east, what tricks he wants to play is simply looking for death.

The next day, Guo Ziyi and Duan Guangzhen led the army back, and Du Shiyi personally sent the army out of the city as he had sent Li Jingren before, and then climbed the southern wall of Anbei Ya Tent City to watch the soldiers and horses go away. When some of the generals looked back, they all saw the black big guns on the arrow tower hunting in the strong wind, and they couldn't help but be quite touched.

Most of the rewards of the Son of Heaven only benefit the meritorious soldiers who have killed the most enemies, and the rewards of ordinary soldiers are by no means rich, and Du Shiyi took out money, grain, and horses from the surplus of Anbei Ya Tent City and Shuofang Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Shops to reward them, how can this make people not return? As for the victims in this battle, they can also take up military positions, and they can also learn various skills in righteousness, and they can also be generously compensated.

It's a blessing to follow such a coach!
