Not only was Yan A's bones beaten, but even the other officials and friends who saw off the other officials, after seeing the visitor, they all showed disgust on their faces, and their heads turned to the side.

The Tang people remember the most gratitude, the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, Xue Li promoted Guo Zhifeng, who was still a small captain, to the position of Zhonglang General, the deputy of the whole army, entrusted with important tasks, and at the critical moment, Guo Beifeng betrayed him by a small person.

If it weren't for Guo Beifeng's rush to attack and change his plan to attack without authorization, leading Belus down from the mountain, the Alans entangled Belus's army, and Xue Lizai led the elite cavalry to attack Belus and command the middle army, the damage to the Western Route army would not have been so tragic.

In the eyes of many people, Guo Beifeng is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

The spiritual cleanliness of the Tang people is very serious, and they all brush their sleeves aside when talking and laughing, as if Guo Beifeng does not exist, fortunately, Guo Beifeng also didn't pay too much attention to the eyes of others, and after jumping off the horse and squeezing away a few people in front of Xue Li, he knelt on the ground with a plop and kept kowtowing.

"Guo waits for the villain's behavior, but the general treats him with kindness, and he has no face to be sealed, and the general's great kindness and great virtue Guo waitingfeng will remember it in his heart, and he will never dare to forget it."

In fact, Guo Zhifeng is not a bad person, but he inherited it from his father, and his utilitarianism is a little heavier.

It is said that life and death make people have a lot of epiphany, after a bloody battle, Guo Zhifeng seems to look down on everything, but he never thought that Xue Rengui would save him so disregarding his previous suspicions, kneeling on the ground, this famous general from Chang'an really repented from the heart, tears flowed, and his voice was choked.

Looking at Guo Beifeng who was kneeling in front of him, Guo Beifeng was crying bitterly, Xue Rengui couldn't help but sigh, speaking from the heart, he still had some hatred in his heart for this powerful former subordinate, if it weren't for him, maybe there would be many fewer deaths.

But now seeing his heart-wrenching confession, Xue Rengui's heart softened a little, and he raised his hand helplessly and said: "You get up, General Ben saved you not because of you as a person, but because the country, Fujian needs you." ”

"The villain knows, and the general's teachings must be taken to heart!"

Guo Beifeng respectfully kowtowed again, looking at his respectful appearance, he finally alleviated the evil feeling in everyone's hearts a little, and not everyone turned sideways.

Seeing this, Xue Rengui nodded with satisfaction again, and after thinking about it, he reached out and grabbed Guo Beifeng's sleeve and pulled him up, and said the second sentence in a serious tone.

"To be sealed, you are strategic, family history, martial arts are also good, brave in battle, the only thing lacking is the overall situation, this is the difference between a famous general and a mediocre general, although my words are contrary to the ear, but I hope you can remember, can fill in another can for my Damin!"

Speaking of the overall situation, this time it really touched Guo Beifeng deeply, and he couldn't help but nod heavily.

Xue Li finally laughed reassuringly, turned around and took a bowl of wine and handed it to Guo Zhifeng, laughed and said: "Come, farewell today, Brother Wanyan and I don't know when we will be able to set foot on the battlefield with you again, drink this cup with all of you, let's go our separate ways, no matter where we are, we will be loyal to my Damin!" ”

"Good!"

"Drink!"

With Xue Li's words, the atmosphere became lively again, everyone picked up the wine bowl and poured it down heroically, the clear wine industry was stained on the beard, flowing down the sleeves to the ground, but everyone was full of laughter.

After a while, Xue Li and Wanyan Ah Gu restrained their smiles, solemnly arched their sleeves and said, "Gentlemen, my two brothers are leaving, looking forward to the day when we work with you again!" ”

"Congratulations to General Xue, General Wanyan!"

Wang Li, the right attendant of the military department, Guo Zhifeng and others threw down the wine bowl and bowed goodbye neatly, and Xue Rengui and Wanyan finally stepped on the war horse, and shouted orders to the Western Route Army in front of the sunset.

"Army, pull out!"

Although it is broken, the Western Expeditionary Army is the elite of the Fujian army after all, and in a few quarters of an hour, thousands of people have left, only a shadow remains, and a group of officials who came to see them off were polite to each other, and then they slowly dispersed, and finally only Guo Zhifeng was still there holding the horse and staring.

Bowing to the ground again, and finally kowtowing to the place where Xue Li had just stopped, Guo Zhifeng stood up again, sorted out his clothes, and returned to the city decisively.

Compared with a few months ago, the city of Hengros has really changed completely, the original rectangular city is no more than two miles in circumference, and it contains the mansion of Cao Guoguo Minister Grousser, and then there are a few streets, which are extremely narrow.

Of course, such a small urban area could not meet the increasingly developed market, and more and more local merchants from Fujian gathered here, and Li Jie, who was almost crowded, simply ordered the construction of new streets within a radius of a few miles outside the city wall, and the original city was directly requisitioned into a palace and a central government office.

This order drove the merchants out of the city, but no one complained, because the order also included a benefit, allowing the merchants to build their own warehouses and shops in the area divided by the Ministry of Works, and after the construction was completed, the real estate belonged directly to the merchants themselves.

This is a big profit, don't think that there is no real estate in Datang, now the two super cities, Chang'an and Jingshi's land prices are about to catch up with the imperial capital of later generations, and even many low-level officials can't afford to buy a house, so they have to go to the Brahmin temple or Buddhist temple to borrow, and the official dormitories in Fujian are full.

From later generations, Li Jieke knew too well the profits of real estate, and the newly built cities were all collectively built by the Ministry of Industry, and then sold commercial houses to the gentry and the common people.

Now it seems that although Hengros is remote, it will definitely become a thoroughfare city under the care of the Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate in the future, and how much does it cost to buy building materials from the Hindu Kush Mountains? The clever merchants of Fujian immediately set off and donated the city wall by the way.

That's also to protect their industry, and the merchants are not stupid.

Today, the streets of Hengros City, which has expanded three or four times, are lined with shops and residences, and the streets are full of prosperous scenes, and the good locations are full of inns and wine shops of Fujian merchants, which almost make the Sogdian merchants who have no access to real estate vomit blood.

On this day, the drill of the Iron Army in Hezhong, as well as his words when he said goodbye to Xue Li, made Guo Zhifeng feel very much, anyway, there was no military affairs expected this night, and he also took a night off, so he simply led the horse to find a quiet spot on the street of this lively wine shop to have a glass of wine, and think about the road ahead.

The prosperity is like the Hengros Market in Chang'an West City, but there are many places that meet Guo Beifeng's needs, and he found a tavern in a small alley casually, Guo Beifeng just tied his horse to the door, entered the shop and ordered a pot of wine, but the street behind him was cold, and the Hongling cavalry of the Duhu Mansion galloped from the main street in a hurry, shouting while running.

"Urgent military situation, the garrison of the Metropolitan Protectorate is assembled in the north of the city, there must be no mistake!"

With a sudden burst in his heart, he didn't care about the hot wine brought out by the store, threw down a handful of copper coins, Guo Zhifeng turned around and ran out of the tavern, stepped on the horse and hurried towards the north of the city.

Holding the wine jug, looking at the copper coins scattered on the table and the figure who hurriedly went out, a proprietress who still had charm in the store couldn't help but be stunned.

By the time Guo Beifeng galloped to the north of the city, the scene of the labor banquet had almost been cleaned up, and a large group of soldiers gathered excitedly around the tent in twos and threes, rubbing the weapons in their hands while still discussing.

The Metropolitan Protectorate deals with ethnic conflicts under its command, rebellions, maintaining the stability of trade routes, and cracking down on bandits.

This matter is a cliché for Guo Beifeng, the horse was thrown to the soldiers who came to greet him at the gate of the camp, and Guo Beifeng walked towards the Chinese army's tent with a familiar car.

Originally, he was given the title of Dadu Protector, Li Rang had the right to build a Yakai Mansion, and in the palace of King Min, he also prepared a Dadu Protectorate, but today's Hezhong Army was just built, and various offices were not yet mature, so Li Rang led his staff to deal with things in the military camp.

When Guo waits for the seal, the subordinate staff, the army, and the army in the huge camp have all gathered there, and Li Rang has also arrived, pinching his chin and staring at the mountains and rivers of Central Asia on the sand table, frowning, and Li Chou, who is the secretary of the army on the side, is drawing his hands on the sand table, talking non-stop.

However, although Li Chou was indecisive, what he said was "Six Tao and Three Strategies", some of the Tao strategies in "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Guo Zhifeng, who was born in the pure army, frowned, and listened to it for a long time in the clouds, he couldn't help but poke Bo Songyi, the master who had also gotten along well in the past few months, and asked: "This, what happened?" ”

Song Yi, who was also tired of listening to Li Chou's explanation of these great truths, Song Yi, who was in his thirties with a goatee, couldn't help but pouted unnoticed, and whispered to Guo Beifeng: "Cao Guoxiangguo Grusei rebelled, killed Cao Gelechun, the lord of Cao State, and entrenched in the second division city of Cao State, and His Majesty issued an order to ask the Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate to solve this rebellion." ”

"This one!"

Turning his mouth to the gushing Li Chou, Song Yi explained in a vague whisper: "Isn't this encouraging the capital to mobilize the troops of the surrounding Shi Kingdom, Mi Kingdom, Kangju and other countries to jointly crusade against the traitors of the Cao Kingdom?" ”

"What?"

Song Yi told it as a joke, and Guo Zhifeng immediately became angry when he heard it, regardless of squeezing him away, he immediately squeezed to the sand table, and bowed resolutely to Li Rang's hesitant bows.

"Your Highness, Li Senjun said bluntly, don't listen to it!"

Everyone was thinking about the strategy proposed by Li Chou, Leng Buding was interrupted, and the whole room looked at Guo Zhifeng's tanned face in shock, and his words immediately made Li Chou's face turn white with anger.
