Ten Mile Pavilion outside Xichuan City!

Du He, Liu Renliang and Zhang Xiong said goodbye one by one, and there was a young scribe in his forties beside them, who looked like a human being, with bright teeth and bright eyes, and was a graceful and suave person, who was the new Anxi Protector Qiao Shiwang.

"Lord Qiao, the matter of Anxi is related to my Tang Dynasty's control of the Western Regions. I'll leave it all to you. After Du He said goodbye to Zhang Xiong, he hugged his fist at the new Anxi Du Protector Qiao Shiwang. He doesn't know much about Qiao Shiwang, and there are some deficiencies in the history of him, but from the bits and pieces of information, this person is still quite good.

Historically, Gaochang was very unstable because it was plundered by Hou Junji. It wasn't until the appearance of the first Anthy to protect him that the situation changed. He is the husband of Princess Luling, a national relative, during his tenure of office, while sweeping away the anti-Tang forces in Gaochang, while stabilizing the hearts of the people in Gaochang, and achieving extraordinary results.

In fact, Du He also admired Li Shimin's vision.

Since Qiao Shiwang appeared to replace him, the first thing he did was to promote Zhang Xiong to be the assassin of Xizhou, and did not make any changes to the policies they set, but implemented them one by one, and only made reasonable transfers at the call of characters. Therefore, he was very relieved to know that Li Shimin did not transfer a mediocre talent, but a talent who really has the ability to work hard.

Although Qiao Shiwang is a literati, he is a guerrilla general, in the battle to destroy the Eastern Turks, he has made great achievements, he is not like ordinary literati, he is a little bold, and he hugged his fists and said: "General Du is not at ease, he is not as good as others, but he also knows that Xiao Gui Cao follows the matter, as long as the system left by the general is used, he can ensure that Anxi is safe." ”

Zhang Xiong also interjected: "Zhang will also do my best to assist Duhu to govern Anxi for my Datang." Not only Du He, but this Qiao Shiwang's performance was also recognized by his people, and then said: "The general doesn't need to worry about the affairs here, with your age, your talent!" Zhang believes that within ten years, you will definitely achieve a great cause and attract the attention of the world. ”

"Hah!" Du He laughed loudly: "Accept your auspicious words, Du He has thanked you here!" We'll see you ...... later."

With that, he flew on his horse and walked away laughing.

The six thousand soldiers and horses he led gathered into a long dragon and returned triumphantly.

There was a loud cry in the sky, a sharp chirp, and a fierce child flapped his wings and flew away, acting as a guard.

"Brother Tuoba, tell Meng'er to come down!" Duhe heard the dragon's roar, and the ward sighed.

Tuoba Wushuang whistled and called Meng'er down.

"Next!" Duhe took out a large piece of bloody wolf meat from the horse and threw it into the air. The king of eagles screamed loudly, and the sharp claws grabbed the meat under the claws, and the sharp claws like blades tore the wolf meat into several parts, and fell from the air, and then did a trick to put the pieces of meat that fell down in his mouth one by one, and ate them, and then screamed a few times, which was regarded as thanks.

In the past four months, in addition to dealing with Gaochang's government affairs, Du He has been playing with Meng'er and asking for advice on how to train a contemporary.

Tuoba Wushuang is a generous person, seeing that Du He really likes Meng'er, thinking of his savior to himself, he is not stingy with the method of falconry, pointing out to Du He, and saying that once the eagle recognizes the master, it will not recognize the second master, but it is okay to recognize the second person and accept the command of others, but it is quite difficult.

Du He just likes animals, and he also took the trouble to use Tuoba Wushuang's method to play with Meng'er, which took nearly four months and countless encounters. Meng'er's attitude towards him has finally improved, and she is already willing to eat what he gives, but whether she obeys him or not depends on his mood. Thinking that he would be able to command such a divine object as Meng'er in the near future, his heart was also excited, and he saw a goshawk passing by not far in front of Meng'er. couldn't help but laugh: "Meng'er...... Knock that eagle down for me!" He let out a strange cry and gave the order to attack.

Meng'er flapped his wings in the air, and galloped down like lightning.

The goshawk who was going to pass by for soy sauce met the mighty Meng'er in the sky, and was about to make a detour, but he didn't want the other party to swoop directly. Before he could react, his head had burst open with a peck, leaving only a headless corpse.

With a flap of his wings, he struck the goshawk's corpse at Duhe.

Du He stretched out his hand to take it, looking at the dead goshawk and not knowing whether to be happy or sad. Meng'er listened to him once, but he took pity on this majestic goshawk.

They traveled all the way east, and once again passed through Moheyan Moraine.

There has been an experience, some attention is a matter, everyone knows that this road of death is difficult to bring harm to them, not to mention that this time Duhe specially prepared twenty camels to transport water, and the group spent half a month calmly out of Mohe Yan Moraine and arrived at Xingxing Gorge.

Coming to the outside of Xingxing Gorge, Du He and Liu Renliang looked at each other and smiled, and they all remembered the night talk here: at that time, they were still worried about how to deal with Hou Junji's difficulties, but now time has passed, they defeated Hou Junji's difficulties, and broke through the Western Turks with 6,000 soldiers and horses.

There is no greater speed of change than this.

Liu Ren orbit: "General Du still remembers what we said here that day?" ”

Du He nodded and smiled: "How can you not remember?" And we did, very well. ”

Liu Renliang also nodded and smiled: "It's not us, it's the general." I don't know what His Majesty has sent me to the General for, or what His Majesty needs us to do. But Liu will wholeheartedly support the general in the future, give advice to the general, and serve my Datang. ”

His last sentence is categorical and sonorous.

In fact, it was wronged to be the chief of history under Du He as his identity, after all, he was already a county magistrate, as long as he was recognized by Li Shimin, he was likely to be transferred to Chang'an as a Beijing official, and then soared to achieve his career.

But Li Shimin transferred him to serve under Du He, which made him like a monk in the second Zhang, confused, and didn't know Li Shimin's intentions, but he also knew that Li Shimin's generation of Mingjun would not be confused, so he accepted it calmly, expressed his willingness to accept the transfer, and tried to perform well under Du He in his heart, and strive to impress Li Shimin, and he was promoted as soon as possible, became a Beijing official, and served Li Shimin. As for Duhe, he was a little unimpressed. Those who are high in this ability will have a high heart. How can a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child in Duhe be convinced of a talent with the potential to be a prime minister? He fully supported Du Heshi in Xingxingxia in order to show himself in Li Shimin and prove his talent and ability.

But now that Du He's performance has conquered him, no matter what Li Shimin's intentions are and what kind of tasks he will give them, he will wholeheartedly support Du He and work for Datang behind Du He.

Du He also knew the true meaning of Liu Renliang's words, and laughed and said, "Then please ask Mr. to give me more advice!" I don't know what Your Majesty's purpose is in letting you come to my command, but I vaguely know that it might have something to do with it. If this is the case, when the time is successful, it must be Mr. Feihuang. As for anything, don't ask, sir, when he knows, he will naturally let you know. He vaguely felt that Li Shimin's actions were probably for the remnants of Li Jiancheng. If the remnant of sin is not removed, he, the emperor, will be like a fish in the throat and a thorn in the back. The calmness of these words is really suspicious. But he hasn't decided on all this yet, so it's hard to say.

Liu Renliang smiled knowingly, he was a smart person, and he didn't ask too much.

After spending the night in Xingxing Gorge, Du He and his party crossed the Yumen Pass to the east, and finally returned to Chang'an, which had been lost for a long time, after a long journey of thousands of miles.

Looking at the long-lost city wall, Du He's heart was like an arrow, and he showed a happy smile, Chang'an, I'm ...... Duho is back.

They entered through the north gate and hurried straight to the barracks.

There was a vendor selling bread near the city gate, and the stall owner, Xiao Wang, looked at this majestic triumphant division and smiled happily.

Xiao Wang's mother slapped him on the back of the head and scolded with a smile: "Look at it, look at you smiling like this, like a child." That's General Du, a little hero who fights tigers, and a romantic genius, which can be compared to you. ”

Xiao Wang was not angry, but threw the towel on his body to his mother, and said: "I don't care if he is a hero or not, I only know that he is my cash cow, if he goes on such an expedition a few times, your son and I will have the money to marry you a beautiful little daughter-in-law." Stall, you always look at it first, I'll go back when I go! Humming a minor tune, he went straight to the Longjing Tea House.

Du He placed the soldiers and horses in the barracks, let his subordinates disperse first, go home to visit his parents and families, wait for the Ming Dynasty to be sealed in the palace, and go to the palace to collect his life.

As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, the general guarding the gate took a step ahead and said, "General Du, the emperor has an order to let you go directly to the Ganlu Hall for a while after you arrive." ”

Du He smiled slightly and came to the Manna Palace.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Du He came to the hall and bowed to the Tang Emperor who was sitting in the hall.

"Haha! My great hero is back, hurry up and excuse me! Li Shimin walked down from the hall with a laugh: "Let me see if you haven't seen you for more than half a year, are you fat or thin!" ”

It can be seen that Li Shimin is very happy because of his return.

Du He then smiled and said: "Only thin and not fat, just Gaochang, it's not enough for the son-in-law to stuff his teeth, how can he get fat, if he can pacify the Western Regions for his father-in-law, then he can get fat." ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "It makes sense, it makes sense, it's just Gaochang, what is it." But it's a big deal! What shall I give you? He looked at Duhe with a smile.
