Chapter 1070: The Determination of a Famous General
Don't forget your roots!
In the tent of the servant department, in the face of the two letters from his father and grandfather with different meanings, but the last sentence was exactly the same, he only felt sad and embarrassed. According to the agreement with Fugu Huaien, Yi Li Siba only stayed to teach him for three months, and then returned to Xiazhou with some henchmen and guards to retire. Now, he, the acting lord of the servant department, is in charge of tens of thousands of troops and people, and he has a completely different feeling from being a general in Anbei Yatent City, which makes him feel a little fluttery. Fortunately, he also knew that at his own age and qualifications, without the support of his grandfather and his father's prestige, it was impossible to sit firmly in the seat.
But his father's letter to Guhuai En was to restrain his subordinates to obey the orders of Anbei Yacheng City, not to forget Du Shiyi's cultivation and trust in their father and son, and not to forget their roots. And the letter from his grandfather Yi Li Siba reminded him not to forget that there is blood in the Tiele Servant Solid Division, don't forget the roots, don't believe in the Tang people wholeheartedly, the Central Plains has a sentence, non-my race will have different hearts, and when something big happens, the Tang Dynasty is likely to drive them to the front, or just like discarding a useless thing, throw them aside and ignore them.
It's the same don't forget your roots, but the meaning is completely different. Fu Gu Jue grew up beside his father Gu Huaien since he was a child, and when he entered his own house, Du Shiyi treated him like a nephew, in all fairness, as long as he stood in front of Du Shiyi, he would not dare to have any selfishness. However, staying by his grandfather's side for three months also made him see how beautiful the lord of the clan is who controls the life and death of thousands of people. However, not to mention that he is just the acting patriarch, the real hereditary governor of Jinwei Mansion, King Guiyi is his father's servant Gu Huai'en, even if his father has any case, the eldest brother is far more justified than himself.
"King!"
Hearing such a voice from outside, Fu Gujun suddenly came back to his senses from his cranky thoughts and immediately sat up straight. The title of the king was called by Yi Li Sipa up and down, he was a little frightened at first, but now that he is used to it, he feels majestic. When the outsiders came in, he asked in a pretended majesty, "What is the matter?" β
"King, news came from the east that King Xi Li Yanpet died."
"Huh?" Fu Gujun leaned forward suddenly, and asked in surprise, "Was it Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu who made An Lushan send troops to kill Li Yanzhong?" β
"No, it's the internal strife of the Xi tribe, and an old man of the Du Ji Department has a personal grudge with Li Yanzhong, so he killed him, and now with lightning speed, he has united several tribes of the Xi tribe, and is willing to attack the Khitan as a guide."
As soon as these words came out, Fu Gujun was simply stunned. To the east of the Fugu Department is Dubo, and to the east is the Raoledu Governor's Mansion where the Xi people are located. Since King Xi Li Yanpet and Khitan King Li Huaixiu killed Princess Yifang and Princess Jingle rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, these two countries have never been born in peace, although An Lushan once defeated the coalition of Li Yanpet and Li Huaixiu, and supported the new King Xi and Khitan King, but the two clans were also divided, in general, King Xi Li Yanpet still has 20,000 horses in his hands, which should not be underestimated. But it's such a person, he even lost his life when he said he was defeated!
He took a deep breath, and secretly rejoiced that there was still a broadcast in the east, even if there was anything to the Xi clan, it would not affect the servant department, and immediately ordered: "Go and investigate again, be sure to find out the cause and effect of this matter...... Wait, send a messenger to the city of Anbei Tent to report the matter! β
The messenger agreed, but did not leave. Seeing this, Fu Gujun was immediately a little displeased: "This is a big deal, it can't be delayed, why don't you go?" β
"King, there is still a war in the west, saying that Hexi Longyou Jiedu made Wang Zhonghei send Ge Shuhan and An Sishun two armies to storm Shibao City, but he took the risk of making Nan Jiyun lead a strange army deep into the territory of Tubo, pinned down and attracted Tubo reinforcements, so that Ge Shuhan and An Sishun captured Shibao City."
When Wang Junyu was killed by the ambush soldiers led by the Hui Hanhai Sima Escort, the Tubo entered Kouhelong in a big way, and once invited the Turks to attack the Tang Dynasty, but was rejected by the Turks. However, Du Shiyi had explained the situation to him and his brother Guxuan, so he knew that Tubo was a big country in the west, and had been coveting the Jiannan Road and Hexi Longyou owned by the Tang Dynasty, as well as the more expansive Western Regions, and Shibao City was an important town on the southwest border that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Fu Gujun had also heard that Du Shiyi and Wang Zhongsi had a personal relationship, and at this moment he couldn't help but exclaim with a little respect: "Wang Dashuai is worthy of being a famous general in the world, I heard that when he returned to Beijing before, some people questioned his reputation, but he was out of the town of Hexi Longyou for more than half a year, but he failed to take a stone castle city, and now this battle is fought beautifully, and the people over there in Chang'an should have nothing to say." β
He thought that there was no problem with his admiration, but what he didn't expect was that the relatives hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said: "It is said that although Wang Dashuai won a great victory in this battle, he was also seriously injured by an arrow......
The news over there in Helong, Du Shiyi naturally knew it earlier than Fu Guju. He hinted to Wang Zhongji that if he didn't take down Shibao City, his old prestige would be ruined, and if he was sued by someone with ulterior motives, it was difficult to guarantee what kind of attitude the Son of Heaven would have. He believed that Wang Zhonghe's generation of famous generals would definitely recover the Stone Fort City that was lost from Gai Jiayun's hands and failed to be recaptured by Huangfu Weiming in a way with fewer casualties, but he never expected that Wang Zhongsi would not hesitate to risk his life, and he was seriously injured because of it!
It has been three full days since he learned the news, and although he sent Huya to visit him quietly as soon as possible, he was still uneasy. Over the years, he has changed a lot of things, and he has helplessly watched many things happen, and he thinks that he has done his best for the fate of those close to him. He thought that as long as Wang Zhonghei didn't fall into that despicable and insidious trap, he would always be able to maintain the reputation of a generation of famous generals, and it would be easy to take Shibao City, but he was wrong after all.
In the end, Wang Zhonghei still cherished his generals and refused to use his life to fill the trenches and walls of Shibao City, but he was personally involved in danger! Those military and civilian people who once thought that Wang Zhonghei was just like this after his return are now facing this news, and they don't know how to feel in their hearts? In contrast, he is different from Wang Zhonghe, his heart has long been cold and hardened after so many years of immersion! He will cherish his hard-won generals as much as possible, and will treat the army and civilians as well as possible, but he will never use himself as a bait to attract the main force of the enemy, in order to return the trust and emotion of the Son of Heaven!
"Someone!"
Seeing that Longquan outside responded to the call, Du Shiyi remembered that Huya was sent by himself to visit Wang Zhongsi in Liangzhou, Hexi, Huya not only agreed, but also took the initiative to hand over all the Ya soldiers to Longquan to manage, and he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. Huya served Princess Gu'an back then, and he was also a rare brave general, but because of Princess Gu'an's words, he was willing to hide among the tooth soldiers. Therefore, thinking that Long Quan and the others had also spent their good youth by his side, he couldn't help but be distracted for a moment, and then he opened his mouth.
"Sue SΓΉ Qijun, let him do his best to end the interference with the barge and the barge envoys, and let them tell the people of the barge and the barge horses, as well as the kings of the barge horses, that the matter of the mutual market is beneficial and harmless. If they want to get the cheapest curiosities of the Western Regions, Datang silk, porcelain, tea, and all kinds of things that only Datang can have, please trust me. Look at Tongluo and Fugu today, look at the two fortified cities that are about to be built today, they should know how to choose! In addition, Guligan will send another group of people over there! β
After saying this, seeing that Longquan immediately agreed to leave, Du Shiyi slowly walked out of the Zhenbei Hall, and walked to the gallery room where the model sand table of Anbei Ya Tent City and Tongluo Fugu Second Tooth Tent City was displayed, and looked at the vast area of Huang Jiasi and Barge Horse and Gu Ligan in a slight daze. At this point, no matter how hard and soft he used, he must subdue the two northern powerhouses of the Gang and Guligan, and the barge is only incidental!
Huya took two servants, two horses and two saddles, and traveled 600 miles every day and night, and it took six days to arrive in Liangzhou, Hexi. He held the official examination of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei, so he did not suffer much at the gate of the city. After entering the city, he placed the servants and horses in a safe guest house, first went to inquire about the news, and did not rashly go to the Hexi Jiedu Embassy to ask for a meeting. But the rumors of different opinions made him feel heavy, and in the end he simply waited at the gate of the Hexi Jiedu Embassy. When he saw Nan Jiyun come out, he immediately stepped forward.
"General Minami."
Nan Jiyun's eyes were bloodshot, the whole person was extremely tired, when he heard this call, he raised his head a little dazedly, and saw that the left and right soldiers quickly stopped in front of him, blocking the person who came up, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he was taken aback, and shouted in surprise as soon as he pushed aside a personal soldier: "Uncle Tiger, why are you!" β
Thinking that Huya was the deputy of the wolf guard next to Princess Gu'an, Nan Jiyun once served as a guard in Princess Gu'an's mansion for a while because of his uncle's relationship, and then got along with Longyou for a while, but it has been more than ten years. After holding the other party's rough hands, he suddenly remembered that Huya had been following Du Shiyi, and then he understood. He glanced at the soldiers on the left and right, and then said sincerely: "Uncle Tiger has come from afar, do you want to visit the marshal?" β
"That's what I think, but seeing that the Jiedu Embassy is heavily defended, I think about it, but I can only wait for you to come out."
Nan Jiyun can naturally understand that Huya doesn't want to show Du Shiyi's signboard because he wants to avoid others thinking that Du Shiyi and Wang Zhongsi often interact and collude in private. He groaned slightly, and immediately said: "The responsibility of the marshal has been entrusted to me, and I will take you into the mansion first." β
