In March, the weather finally warmed up a little, and the frozen mountain roads showed signs of snowing.

Wood Bird sent the news to the past, and Zong Rui sent people to step up the dredging, and actually opened the road before April.

In the name of saving his father, he personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses to the gravel slope.

When Zong Xu saw him for the first time, he asked, "How is Xirong?" ”

Zong Rui was extremely ashamed and pleaded guilty to his father: "The child failed to recapture Guliang Pass, so that the third uncle's bones were ...... no return."

Zong Xu said lightly: "Guliang Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you lose it, it will be difficult to take it back, so it's no wonder you." ”

Zong Ruicai breathed a sigh of relief, and heard his father say again: "But your surname is Zong, and as the eldest son of the Zong family, you have to take on more responsibilities." Others can't do it, you can't. ”

Zong Rui knelt down silently.

"Go back and kneel down again and make amends to your great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and uncles who died in battle."

"Yes." Zong Rui knew that this was his father's chance.

With the ice and snow melting and the soldiers and horses in place, now is a good opportunity to send troops to the grassland.

The recital of the war in the northwest had just been issued, and they had to create the facts before the decree was issued.

In this way, the order of the foreign monarch will not be granted.

This is a major battle that has not been fought in 20 years, and since ascending to the throne now, the Northwest Army has never fought such a large-scale battle.

Again, this is the best chance for these young generals to grow up. No matter how well you learn, it's not as useful as fighting a battle in person.

……

Guo Xu trembled with anger, and when Zongxu sent someone to invite him to discuss the matter.

He rushed into the lobby, almost ignoring his demeanor: "Zongxu, you old horseman, you have deceived this official like this!" This official is going to play, so that the saint knows your face! ”

Zong Xu's face was ruddy, full of energy, seeing Guo Xu, he laughed, and he was not angry when he scolded him, but stood up to meet him, and went to hold his arm very affectionately.

"Master Guo, why are you so angry?"

Guo Xu shook him off vigorously.

Zong Xu didn't mind at all, and continued to pull him, almost forcibly holding him up and pressing him to the first seat under the handsome seat.

"This battle, Lord Guo has made great contributions." Zong Shu said this.

Guo Xu's anger was suppressed, and he looked at him suspiciously: "You don't plan to steal the credit?" ”

He also thought that Zong Xu gave him this play because he wanted to pick his peaches directly! He doesn't need much credit for himself, but his subordinates do!

Zong Xu smiled: "Without Lord Guo's idea, how can we fight such a beautiful turnaround?" ”

Guo Xu eased up and asked, "Are you willing to give me the first credit?" ”

Zong Xu Zhengse said: "In the layout of this battle, Lord Guo should be the first to take the lead. ”

Hearing this, Guo Xu smiled, glanced at him and said, "Don't think that if you say two good words, this official will erase the previous matter." You have joined forces to deceive the officials, and this account is not so clear. Come to think of it, you and Yang San's kid have already colluded together, right? It's no wonder that as soon as the official arrived at Baimenxia, he felt that there was something strange between you. ”

"Master Guo, what are you talking about? What is collusion called? We were trapped together, struggling out of the land of death to find a way out, this is a fateful friendship. You and Yang San, this kid, spend more time together than the old man, don't you have a little relationship? ”

Guo Xu said coldly: "I don't dare to have feelings for this kid, who knows what unsightly things he has behind him." For the sake of us living and dying together, Lao Zong, I also advise you, when it comes to matters at the top, it is not something that our courtiers can touch. ”

Zong Xu sighed: "Where do I want to touch that? But look at him pitiful. The eldest princess and the old marquis of Boling are such heroes, teaching such a child, they can only spend their lives in those unsightly things. What kind of person is he, you have seen it with your own eyes these days, do you think he deserves to live like that? ”

These words can be said to be heartfelt, Guo Xu also eased up, and said: "Old Zong, you are also a person with great wisdom, I don't believe you can't see through it." What kind of person he is is the least important thing, the key is where he is and what he thinks. Besides, he probably won't want those now, are you sure he won't want to in the future? Good generals are everywhere, bento is really the reincarnation of the god of war, if it threatens the stability above, it should be given up. Compared with the country and history, if an individual is too small, it is an innocent sacrifice, and it is not a matter. ”

Zong Xu said gloomily: "That's it, let's make him happier now." This work must be yours, and the rest will be given to my subordinates, and as for him, don't mention it. ”

Guo Xu said with a smile: "I still have to mention it, others are here, can they hide it from the eyes and ears of the eagle?" It's just that this credit can't be given to him at all. Don't be wronged, this is already my Lao Guo for the sake of two months of life and death, so I deliberately took him out. ”

"Master Guo is thoughtful."

When the two said this, they basically finished dividing the pie. Guo Xu got what he wanted, was in a good mood, and reminded him: "I don't get involved in the affairs between you." But if the court sends someone again, then I will be in a bad position. ”

"Don't worry, Master Guo, I won't make it difficult for you."

Guo Xu is gone.

Zong Rui came out from behind and shouted, "Dad, why did you give him the first credit?" Even if you have to give the credit away, you don't have to give him the first credit, right? He moved his mouth, and it was us who were desperate. ”

Zong Xu said lightly: "Do you think he is easy to deceive?" Let me tell you, don't talk about a prime minister who can enter the political hall, even if it is any civil official, don't underestimate them. He was certainly angry, but he put on such an angry appearance, which was deliberate. ”

Zong Rui was stunned: "Why?" ”

"This is our territory, and he's alone, without any security. If we get black-hearted, kill him, and report another death in battle, who knows the truth? He rushed in in this way in order to find out his father's attitude and negotiate the conditions. Otherwise, how could he change so quickly as soon as my tone softened? ”

Zong Rui: "......"

"You, you have a good talent for fighting, and you are far behind Yang San in this regard. Look at him, after the previous battle, he didn't care about the. Before, I was calling for him to show merit, but now? ”

After a pause, Zong Xu said again: "I gave the first credit to Guo Xu, also to leave a way out in the future." This Guo Xiangye knows what kind of great achievement this is, and he also knows what kind of attitude the saint has, the first credit is given to him, and in order to smoothly send troops to the grassland, he will try his best to maneuver in it. Although he has many political enemies, his connections should not be underestimated. Moreover, if he has formed a good karma today, he will not ask for anything in his head in the future. ”

He didn't say it too clearly, Zong Rui savored it carefully, and knew that his father was referring to Yang San's life experience.

- Wait, isn't this also a good fate for Yang San? How long has he been gone, and this kid has already bought his father?
