Seeing that Li Chou, who was talking eloquently, was interrupted by Guo Beifeng, his face turned pale with anger, and the other more than ten major capital protectors couldn't help but lower their heads and laughed secretly, and many people also showed gloating eyes.

This Li Chou is not an ordinary person, he is the fifth son of Li Su, the king of Shu, the nephew of the prince of Fujian, with the title of Ba Jungong, he has been interested in military strategy since he was a child, he is familiar with military books, and he has commanded the soldiers under the rule of Shu to win the victory of the rebellion and suppression of the Nanzhao tribe, and he can be regarded as a capable person in the clan.

The last time the lord of Tubo came to the court, in order to solve the problem of harmony and save his precious daughter, Li Jie specially sent envoys to borrow a group of clan women from the relatives of the Central Plains royal palaces, and the concubines who were not valued.

It's a pity that for his cousins and nephews, Li Jie's relatives are not so friendly, and the Zongzheng Temple specially set up for them has been ruthless several times, cleaning up a few bullying men and women, and more than half of a group of noble sons and brothers of heaven have slipped back to Datang crying.

However, like Li Chou, who understands the rules and has some talents, and knows how to advance and retreat, he was left behind and supplemented into the officialdom with the strength of the clan.

Although he is a little talented and not very talented, Li Chou has 120,000 points of arrogance, and after being transferred from the rear of Posis, he is simply nostrils to the sky, as if everyone else is a pariah, as if he is noble, and he is like a servant of his palace to his colleagues, and everyone looks at him unpleasantly.

On the other hand, Guo Beifeng, he seems to have really realized after walking in life and death, and he has fallen into the Dadu Protectorate for a few months, and he has always been bored with errands, and he does not compete with his colleagues for merit or anything, although there are a lot of bad rumors about Guo Beifeng, the staff in the Governor's Mansion are still closer to him.

Now that watching Guo Zhifeng makes Li Chou quite unable to get off the stage, it is no wonder that so many people are so happy to look at Li Chou's jokes.

And what made Li Chou even more embarrassed was that after talking for a long time, Li Rang just hesitated, and when he saw Guo to be sealed, Li Rang immediately stepped forward as if he had an idea, and asked quite dependently: "What is Mr. Guo's opinion?" ”

How can he be regarded as Li Rang's cousin, but he is not as valued as a person with a foreign surname, Li Chou's white head immediately provoked a few green tendons, and before Guo Zhifeng could describe his opinion, he had already snorted in a weird way.

"This is not the general Guo Lang who betrayed the benefactor before the battle, I heard in Datang that it is not easy for Uncle Min to start a business in a foreign land, and any kind of ruffian and immoral person has to use it, but now it seems that it is really impossible to fake."

This sneering Li Chou was really unkind, and Guo Zhifeng's ears were also uncomfortable.

Once upon a time, he also relied on Guo Xiaoke, a famous general, and the identity of the county prince was indispensable, but now, there is a higher status pressing him, which makes Guo Beifeng sigh for a while, it is really impermanent.

Fortunately, after exercising these days, Guo Beifeng's mentality has improved a lot, and he did not go to Li Chou hard, but respectfully raised his sleeves and bowed to the past, and apologized to Li Chou kindly: "Li joined the army, I was anxious and rude just now, I hope you will bear with me." ”

One is cynical, the other is modest, and it is a stark contrast, Guo Zhifeng wants to cover up the matter, looking at the colleagues around him talking about it, Li Chou is even more annoyed.

Knocking on the table on the clear sand table of mountains and rivers and clear cities, Li Chou shouted angrily: "Our Hezhong Army has just been established today, and the people of Cao Guo have blatantly rebelled, isn't this a blatant provocation to my Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?" Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the coast of the land, the king's ministers, and the barbarians surnamed Zhaowu are all watching, I suggest that the capital protect the soldiers of the surrounding four countries, and bring the main force of the metropolitan governor's mansion to crush the rebellion of the Cao people with a thunderous blow and deter the four barbarians, right? ”

"Could it be that in Guo Sima's words, I want the capital to sit and watch the people of Cao State rebel, so that the heart of Siyi who fears my Fujian country will be lost, and rebellions will break out?"

After speaking loudly and impassionedly, his chest was rippling with pride, and the feeling of being the first loyal minister of Fujian suddenly rippled in his heart, holding his arms, Li Chou's head was high, and he stared at Guo Beifeng with squinted eyes, waiting to see his embarrassed appearance.

Who knew that Guo Beifeng's dark face was full of memories, and after sighing unconsciously, he arched his fist slightly at Dadu Hu Li Rang, who was also tempted.

"Dadu Protector, my father Guo Xiaoke has served as the Protector of the Rest Capital before, please tell me about something that my father encountered back then, I don't know if it's okay?"

Guo Beifeng did not argue head-on, but told the story, which is fresh, not only Li Rang was aroused by curiosity, but even the high-flying and domineering Li Chou showed a look of surprise, stunned, and then bowed to Li Rang, still humming so hard: "Dadu Hu, please let him say, the lower officials want to know, how can cowardice still make sense?" ”

Li Rang nodded slightly, and after putting down his sleeves, Guo Zhifeng raised his head slightly in memory and began to tell Shanshan.

"At that time, it was still the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, and the lower official was still a hairy boy who had just joined the army, and his father Guo Xiaoke had just served as the governor of Liangzhou, stationed in Xizhou, and his father had just arrived less than half a year ago.

Guo Zhifeng had just said the beginning, but Li Chou had already interrupted him disdainfully, and took it on his own.

"Anxi all protected the imperial court, crusaded against the ministers, led three thousand horses out of Yinchuan Road, attacked Yanqi at night, captured the dragon and rode back, the emperor Dayue, rewarded three hundred households, and gave birth to Yang Zhai County."

Full of sneers, Li Chou still stared at Guo Zhifeng mockingly and continued to laugh: "Thinking about the heroes of Yangzhai County back then, thousands of soldiers and horses crisscrossed the desert and were invincible, but now there is no successor, it's really ridiculous to think about it." ”

Li Chou's sneering attitude, Li Rang couldn't help frowning secretly when he heard it, but Guo Zhifeng had a surprisingly good temper this time, and just shook his head with emotion.

"It seemed like a glamorous victory, but it was actually the most dangerous fight my father had ever fought in his life, and my father later recalled to us that if he could do it all over again, he would never do it again."

"Why?"

In everyone's confusion, it was Li Chou who was the first to cry out in shock.

"Because of the Western Turks."

Guo Zhifeng didn't sell it, and explained bluntly.

"When the Hou Junji army just broke through Gaochang, the entire Western Regions shook, and the monarchs of all the states trembled at the Tang Dynasty, for fear that they would not serve the Tang Dynasty well and cause annihilation.

"The conspiracy between the Yanqi people and the Western Turks is that the Yanqi people openly rebelled and will definitely lead me to attack the Anxi Protectorate, and as long as the Yanqi people drag the Tang army for three or five days, the Western Turkic wolf cavalry will suddenly attack from behind, and when the time comes, the Tang army will collapse even if it is elite."

"When the Xidu Protectorate only has more than 5,000 soldiers, once this battle is defeated, the Tang Dynasty finally defeated Gaochang, the tentacles that stretched into the Western Regions were cut off, unless Guanzhong launched another expedition of more than 100,000 people, fortunately, the Yanqi people did not expect my father to get the news so early, and day and night, launched a night attack at night, three days earlier than the Western Turks captured Yanqi City."

"Around this is so, my father heard that the Western Turkic army was coming, and he hurriedly gave up Yanqi, set up Li Po Zhun as the acting lord of the country, and retreated to Gaochang in a hurry, around this, the Western Turk Qu Lisi still led a light horse of 5,000 to chase, forcing my father to ambush under the Yinshan cloth, killed Qu Lisi, and then returned to Gaochang safely."

After listening to Guo Beifeng's narration, Li Rang and Li Chou were silent for a moment, and the rest of them were also secretly pondering, many of them had heard Guo Xiaoke's achievements back then, but they couldn't imagine that the seemingly light of the record was hidden in their hearts.

However, after a moment of trance, Song Yi, who was listening to the story behind him, couldn't help but exclaim in the back: "Guo Sima, what do you mean, Grusse not only rebelled himself, but also colluded with the Tuqi Shi people to prepare to attack our army inside and outside?" ”

This sentence made the more than ten Metropolitan Protector staff present all break out in a cold sweat behind their backs.

Born in the Western Turks, entrenched in the chaotic places of the Western Regions, they are more warlike than the Eastern Turks, and there are also the Anxi Protectorates who are proficient in the art of war behind them.

Looking at the sand table, Cao Guoguo is not far from the Pamir Plateau, that is, the mountains on the edge of the rugged plateau.

However, just when everyone was staring at the narrow hundreds of miles above the true city of Cao Guo and the Tianshan Generation, an unwilling shout was remembered in the crowd.

I never thought that my limelight was robbed by this black sinner prisoner, and from childhood to adulthood, Li Chou was like a child whose beloved toy was snatched away, pointing at Guo Beifeng's face with red eyes and screaming sharply.

"This is just your speculation, but the intelligence does not show at all, the whole river is watching, once Grusse did not say that the Tuqi Shi people went south, but you said that the main force of the capital protector will be arranged in the Tianshan Mountains, wouldn't it be so far-flung and generous, so lose face, and in the future, the capital protector will still be like dominating all the tribes in the huge river? Can you afford it? ”

Although Li Chou was angry, what he said was not unreasonable, Guo Beifeng did not say anything more, but once again arched his fist and bowed deeply in front of Li Rang.

This may be the deep meaning of Li Jie letting Li Rang serve as the protector of the river capital, everyone's eyes are focused on themselves, on the one hand is his cousin Li Chou, on the other hand is the general Guo Beifeng who went out to cross the river together, which also involves the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the river capital, looking at the intricate map of the river in front of him, the first time he took such a major decision, Li Rang's face was extremely grim, but the sleeves he raised were trembling, and he didn't choose which direction to fall in for a long time......
