Li Guo and his entourage either walked or took a boat to the destination of his trip, Taiping Mansion in Guangxi. At this time, Guilin has passed through Guangxi, and Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, which not only makes Li Guo, but also opens the eyes of these soil buns who follow him. Seeing that the scenery in front of them was becoming more and more beautiful, everyone's morale was greatly boosted.

Arrived at Nanning Mansion, the jurisdiction of the Guangxi political envoy, Tu Shaoxuan, the political envoy of Guangxi, came to greet him with officials from all walks of life, although Guangxi was remote, but the matter of Li Guo defeated Jin also spread here, and the officials here all admired Li Guo.

In the face of Tu Shaoxuan's enthusiasm, Li Guo planned to stay in Nanning Mansion for a few days, and heard that it was only about 200 miles away from the Taiping Mansion, so he was not in a hurry.

After settling down the corporal, Li Guo took Qi Laohan, Nie Xin, Gu Ying, Niu Decao and others to the banquet.

At the banquet, Tu Shaoxuan introduced officials from all over the country one by one, and the host and guest gathered very happily. Tu Shaoxuan, the political envoy of Guangxi, was also a warm person, in addition to giving Li Guo's 1,500 soldiers enough food and grass, it was also rich to set up a banquet to entertain Li Guo. What Guilin beef, sour bamboo shoots stewed fish, lemon duck, big meat snails, etc., although they are all snacks and cannot be put on the big table, they are very delicious.

During the banquet, Tu Shaoxuan gave Li Guoshen a salute.

Li Guo didn't understand what was going on, logically speaking, Tu Shaoxuan was the political envoy of Guangxi, the largest official in Guangxi, equivalent to the provincial and ministerial level. And Li Guo is the prefect of Taiping Mansion, and his level is much lower than that of Tu Shaoxuan, and Li Guo happens to be in charge of Tu Shaoxuan. But Tu Shaoxuan gave him a deep salute, which was strange.

Although Li Guo is not afraid of these officials, he has just arrived in Guangxi. If you are not familiar with life, you haven't figured out anything, and you still have to do superficial things.

Li Guo hurriedly stood up, "My lord." What are you doing here? ”

Tu Shaoxuan smiled and patted Li Guo's shoulder, "Make up for it, when I heard that the imperial court sent you to the Taiping Mansion, I waited for all of you." ”

"It's the love of adults." Li Guoqian resigned, but he still didn't understand.

"Make up for it, to be honest, you have to be in charge of this Taiping Mansion! Now here you are. I was relieved. Tu Shaoxuan's tone was very sincere.

Li Guoxin said, this is something new, and he has not officially taken office. His immediate boss not only did not show himself a little official authority, but was polite and polite. This kind of thing is not without precedent, but I am still confused when it is my turn.

"If you have something, you might as well say it directly, as long as I can do it. Do it by all means! Li Guo really couldn't stand Tu Shao's grinding and chirping.

"Do you know the chaos in the country of Annan?" Tu Shaoxuan asked.

"I don't know." Li Guo shook his head. He has been in the northwest, and he never dreamed of coming to the southwest, of course he doesn't know the situation here.

"Of course, I don't know, it's just a war between the Hou Li State and the Mo State after the martyrdom. Originally, they fought them, but the war could not affect us, and they couldn't do anything to us. However, there are too many chaotic people, and now the entire Guangxi border area is not what it looks like. Bandits are numerous, burning, killing and looting. Dangerous hài I Daming border. I also sent people to encircle and suppress it several times, but it didn't have much effect. Now, to make up for it, there must be a good solution! Tu Shaoxuan said.

Li Guo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the Taiping Mansion under my rule next to An'an?" ”

Tu Shaoxuan nodded: "It's a big piece in a row!" ”

Li Guo scolded in his heart, his grandmother's, I said that if you sent me here, you still want me to work for the Ming Dynasty. But after thinking about it, the country was also underwhelmed, including some things in modern times that made Li Guo angry.

At that moment, Li Guo said in a deep voice, "Okay, don't worry, my lord, I will definitely quell the rebellion." ”

"But there aren't many soldiers." Tu Shaoxuan said to the point.

"How many soldiers are there in Guangxi now?" Li Guo asked.

Tu Shaoxuan sighed, "Now there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses and 5,000 sailors scattered throughout Guangxi, a total of 25,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is not strong. ”

Li Guo heard it, 20,000! I thought, quite a bit! And the sailor, that's even better. You scattered your soldiers everywhere, and of course your forces were weak. Coupled with the decay of the Ming army, how could it be possible to fight!

But Li Guoqiang endured the excitement in his heart and sighed, "20,000 people is better, to be honest, I'm not sure, besides, I'm just the prefect of Taiping Mansion, and I don't have the right to command more than 20,000 people!" ”

"Don't worry about making up for it, I've already thought about it, I wanted to ask you to supervise Guangxi's military affairs, but the court will definitely not agree. Therefore, I would like to ask you to be the general affairs of the political envoy and the general affairs of the Xiangzan military affairs, do you think it is good? Tu Shaoxuan looked at Li Guo, afraid that he would not agree to this thankless errand.

Li Guo looked at Tu Shaoxuan and nodded, "Okay, do your best, and die!" ”

At that time, I was excited about what Tu Shaoxuan said. To be honest, this Tu Shaoxuan has a good impression in Li Guo's eyes.

Li Guo said to Tu Shaoxuan, "Since the adults treat me like this, then Qiqi will act according to my plan." But now it can't eliminate the bandits on the border, and we have to wait. ”

"Okay, it's up to you! But what are you waiting for? Tu Shaoxuan asked.

Li Guo looked up into the distance, "I still have some subordinates who haven't arrived, and when they arrive, they will make a decision!" My lord, it's almost the New Year, so I'll spend the New Year here first! ”

Tu Shaoxuan nodded happily.

When the end of the year was approaching, Liu Tichun, Li Twelve and Huang Xiu arrived in Guangxi, and the guide sent by Li Guo took them to Nanning.

Li Guo thought that Liu Tichun's losses must be great, but when he saw them, Li Guo was startled. My goodness, why are there so many people?

After placing the people outside the city of Nanning, Li Guo called Liu Tichun and others to his residence. Jiang Yingrong also took Li Taiping into the back hall.

"How did you do that, how did you develop so many people? Amazing! Li Guo praised.

Everyone laughed.

Liu Tichun said, "Along the way, the recruitment is thanks to Sun Dengke!" ”

Sun Dengke was very proud, "Master Tiger, along the way, I will take our propaganda team to preach around, and follow me if you have nothing to eat!" You know what? The man is going to follow! We still picked a strong man to come, and we didn't bring many people! But this is not my own credit, without Brother Liu, Li Twelve and Youbin, we wouldn't be able to bring so many people. ”

Liu Tichun nodded, "Thanks to Zhao Youbin's identity as the master of Shaoxing, most of the prefectures and counties have turned a deaf ear to our whereabouts, and we are under your banner, so this is all the way unimpeded." ”

Zhao Youbin said with a smile: "They are still powerful generals, and they led the troops to fight the grain and grass." We didn't care about the whole trip, the prefecture and county didn't attack, but the big families in the township were robbed by us. We use all the livestock to transport, and the grain that can be loaded is loaded, and what cannot be loaded is distributed to the people, all in the name of your tiger master. Now all the people along the way will praise your kindness. ”

"Good! Well done! Li Guo was very happy.

Liu Tichun smiled, "Actually, there are some things that we don't dare to do, but we still have the permission of our wife to do it." Mrs. said that the grain, grass and silver must be robbed, anyway, it will be used in the future, and when it comes to Guangxi, there is no foundation, and it is absolutely impossible to have no food. ”

Li Guo looked at Huang Xiu who was sitting on the side: "Your courage is getting bigger and bigger now." ”

Huang Xiu smiled, "Master, didn't you say when you left that the imperial court was suspicious of you, and you had to be prepared to start an incident when you arrived in Guangxi?" You also said that you are not afraid of trouble in Guangxi, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away! So, I ordered them to grab all the way! ”

Li Guo scolded, "His grandmother's, we are like bandits now." (To be continued......)
