Manna Temple!

Li Shimin sat in front of the hall, holding a few battle reports in his hands over and over again, and saw that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were summoned and passed the war reports to them.

"Did you find anything unusual about these reports?" Li Shimin's right index finger hit the desk one by one, and his eyes kept moving on the faces of the two of them.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui read the battle report one after another, and the two glanced at each other and were silent.

"It seems that you also understood, but you didn't say anything?" Li Shimin's face was serious, and after being reminded by Empress Changsun unintentionally, he immediately looked at the several battle reports from Hou Junji, and found a trivial but meaningful question. Most of Hou Junji's battle reports introduced some things on the march, but did not mention anything about military deployment. Li Shimin felt strange about this at the beginning, but Hou Junji was the first general of the Tang Dynasty and one of his most trusted generals. So I didn't pay too much attention to it. He believed that Hou Junji had experienced a hundred battles, and he would not have problems in this small matter of sending the vanguard.

In retrospect, there was a big problem.

The 800-mile Mohe Yanqi is known as the road of death, and Hou Junji does not take the two members of Ashina Sheer and Qibi He Li, who have a lot of combat experience, to be the vanguard, but to send a young general who has never been to the Western Regions and is not yet 20 years old.

Thinking of Hou Junji's use of power and personal vendettas, Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He always thought that Hou Junji was just a little worse temperament, and he never thought that he would do such a thing.

"I don't know what contradiction there is between the horse and Hou Junji, can make him so nonsense?" When Li Shimin said the word "nonsense", it can already be seen that he is extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that half a year ago, Lord Wei recommended Lord Hou as a prime minister?" ”

Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, and he also remembered that he still agreed with Hou Junji as a prime minister, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stopped him in every possible way, and were silent for a while, and said: "It seems that you are right, Hou Junji's mind is too small, and it is indeed not enough to be a prime minister." In addition......"

He glanced at Du Ruhui: "I decided to recall Hou Junji and inquire about this matter!" I know that Du Xiang misses me Datang Sheji, and I don't want my Datang to lose such a talent as Hou Junji, but seeing that the horse is safe, I can't plan to do it. But this matter can be big or small, and it must not be tolerated, and since I know about it, I cannot ignore it. ”

"What about Gao Chang?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Before the matter is decided, let the colt handle all the things in Gaochang on your behalf! The colt has won my heart and can understand my heart. Li Shimin has already made a decision.

Gaochang City!

Du He got the news of Hou Junji's victory and triumph, and was also amazed by it, and traveled 800 miles in a hurry, and under the condition of tired people and horses, he was still able to defeat the Western Turks, and this Hou Junji deserved to be a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. Although he himself is very interested in Hou Junji, he also admires his ability.

Liu Renliang also showed a hint of convincing: "Although the amount of gas in this Hou is small, this ability to fight with soldiers is not bad!" However, no matter how hard he worked and how beautifully he fought, he couldn't compare to the general. He was convinced by Hou Junji, but admired Du He.

With 30,000 to 80,000, it can't be compared with Du He's 6 kilograms and 70,000 at all, not to mention that the situation of the two sides is different, Hou Junji still has 70,000 troops behind him, and he has no worries at all, but Du He is a lone army trapped in the hinterland, and the two sides do not have comparable surnames at all.

Du He smiled slightly, didn't care, just smiled. At the beginning, he fought with Hou Junji, just because he was dissatisfied with his fake public welfare and wanted to see his own jokes. Fight for a tooth for a tooth, compete with him for merit, and see who laughs at whom. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no intention of continuing to fight with him.

Of course, if Hou Junji is still entangled, he will not sit still.

Therefore, Liu Renliang was also asked to be cautious in his words and deeds, and not to take the victory or defeat too seriously, after all, the infighting was too powerful, which was not a thing to be thankful for.

Liu Renliang was in awe, and also realized that Du He and Hou Junji are not the same kind of people, his mind is much broader than Hou Junji, and he does have the mind to do big things, and he also smiled: "Renliang knows, he will pay attention." ”

Then Du He talked to him about Gaochang and asked him about some things about government affairs.

Du He smiled: "It's good that you are here, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be tired and lie down!" ”

Due to Hou Junji's urgency to catch up, he did not explain the aftermath. And because of the great destruction of the Western Turks, Du He has a very high prestige in the Western Regions, and has the full support of Zhang Xiong, and Gaochang is convinced, so he is temporarily responsible for handling the government affairs of Gaochangguo.

Du He has a high talent in military affairs, so he has been trained by famous generals such as Li Shimin and Li Ji, and even Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, has asked him to consult him when he encounters problems. For military use, he already has a good foundation. But the administrative is a little lacking because he has never been in contact with it, and at the beginning, in the face of a mountain of affairs, he was one head, two big, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

But fortunately, Liu Renliang has the ability to be a prime minister, and Zhang Xiong is also an outstanding administrative talent, with their assistance, there was no chaos.

At this time, Du He realized that he was extremely inexperienced in administration, so he began to work hard in this area. His biggest advantage is that he doesn't pretend to understand, and when he encounters things or problems that can't be solved, he won't force them, but humbly asks Liu Renliang and Zhang Xiong for advice. The two of them also have no intention of hiding privately, and they know everything about his problems, and under the guidance of these two people, his skills in government affairs have also made full progress.

Gaochang is a small country, with a population of only 100,000, and it is no longer difficult for him to say that regular government affairs are no longer difficult.

He understood Li Shimin's intention to capture Gaochang, so when handling government affairs, he was impartial, neither giving them preferential treatment because the people of Gaochang were foreigners, nor rejecting them because they were foreigners, but treating them as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the way he handled things was completely fair, and achieved a very good effect of calming the people's minds.

Originally, most of the people of Gaochang were Han Chinese, and they were treated fairly, and they were not dissatisfied, and Du He gradually understood some experience in government affairs, and constantly absorbed this knowledge from Liu Renliang and Zhang Xiong to expand his level in government affairs.

Just as they were discussing government affairs with each other, they suddenly came in from outside, and An Longma asked to see him.

Du He invited him in and greeted him personally: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you would say goodbye without saying goodbye!" ”

An Longma hurriedly said: "Lu Wentai died, and the loss of Zha He also got due retribution, and the great revenge was avenged." Seeing that the adults were busy with official business, I didn't want to disturb them, so I led Millie home to worship her parents. I have come here today to say goodbye to my lordship. ”

"You're leaving?" Du He was a little surprised.

An Longma said: "Millie's parents are deceased, but there is still a grandmother at home, and I plan to bring her grandmother to live in Gaochang, and I need to go to Talas. ”

Du He looked regretful.

Seeing this, An Longma hurriedly said: "My lord has something that I need to serve, if there is, I'm willing to work for my lord first!" ”

"Ah...... No more! Your business matters...... It's just that I see that you are very good at raising horses, and I want to recommend you to Your Majesty to serve me in domesticating war horses in the Tang Dynasty, since you have other ideas, I can't force it here! Along the way, Du He also has a detailed understanding of Anlong horses, knowing that his ancestors have been strange people who have tamed horses and raised horses for generations, and he himself is not only a rider who is proficient in horsemanship, but also a capable person who domesticates war horses. Datang has raised nearly a million war horses in Qinghai and Beidi, and what is most lacking is talents like An Longma.

An Longma smiled: "So that's the case, don't worry, as long as I pick up Millie's grandmother, I will come to Chang'an to find my adult." Anyway, my family has been domesticating war horses for a living for generations, and it is also a blessing to be able to serve the Celestial Empire. ”

Du He was overjoyed and said: "Then we will decide!" ”

An Longma nodded, and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped: "In the big sand sea south of Liuzhong, there lives a strange man named Tuoba Wushuang, who is from Xue Yantuo, and he saved me when I was chased and killed by the general under the command of Zahe. Millie and I both fainted. Before I fainted, I vividly remembered that there were at least a thousand people who pursued and killed me, and Tuoba Musou was only one, but he saved us. I don't know what he did, but he must have been very good. Since you are thirsty for talent, you may be able to hand in good luck if you give it a try! ”

An Longma said goodbye and left.

Du He stood on the spot, a little incredulous.

In ancient times, this was indeed possible. Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, and other fierce generals who are famous all over the world have this strength, but it is impossible to be a thousand. In the face of the encirclement of thousands of people, it is not difficult for them to fight out of the encirclement, but to stop fighting against thousands of people and kill all of them, this kind of martial courage only appears in mythology.

Just like Qin Qiong's army took the enemy's head from it, his enemy could not be 10,000 people, he just rushed into the army and encountered some people on the way.

Even if Tuoba Wushuang is good at martial arts, it is impossible for him to be worth a thousand people, not to mention that he has to save people and protect the lives of two burdensome surnames. Even if Xiang Yu is alive and Guan Gong is resurrected, he can't do this. Unless he had some special means to scare off the thousand.

Du He suddenly became interested in the Tuoba Peerless.

Liu Renliang was surprised: "The general doesn't really want to go!" ”

"Why not?" Du He smiled slightly: "There are too few talents under my command, there are only three generals, Luo Tong, Wang Dezheng, and Fang Yiai, even if you add my escort Fan Yuanchen, there are only four people." I've been looking for some capable people to promote them, but I haven't met them. Since what An Longma said is so miraculous, if I don't go to see it, I can't feel at ease! ”
