Guo Lanxia married the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Hong Tao, speaking of the Marquis of Zhongyong, a famous marquis in the Great Jin Dynasty, the Marquis of Zhongyong, the Marquis of Zhongyong is sitting in Ezhou, controlling the 80,000 soldiers and horses of Ezhou, following the emperor Guo Wei, who was born and died, the eight brothers are seven brothers all died in battle, and the eldest son is actually the third, and the eldest and second are also killed on the battlefield.

Emperor Guo Wei thanked the Hong family for their loyalty, and issued a decree to give marriage, and married Guo Lan to Hong Tao, the son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Guo Lan married Hong Tao and gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Hong family.

Concubine De Niangniang wrote a letter for Guo Xing to bring, the emperor also gave the task, a secret decree for Guo Xing to bring over, Guo Xing also made arrangements for the house, and quickly left the capital with Zhou Quan.

As soon as he left Beijing, Guo Xing felt a burst of joy, and planned to go to Ezhou to see his sister first, according to Concubine De's mother, Guo Xing returned to Beijing to see him when he was one year old, but Guo Xing had no impression, and Guo Xing did not look for anything along the way, but he was very concerned about the snacks in various places, and he came to Wuyang City, the capital of Ezhou, Wuyang City, as the capital of Ezhou, was a big city, and it was very lively.

The area of the Marquis of Zhongyong is not small, a few people in the porter are talking with melon seeds, and I saw two people riding horses to the door, the handsome boy did not come up, and a person next to him went straight to the gatehouse, the porter is a very test of eyesight occupation, I saw that the person came to the porter and asked who was in charge, and the steward of the porter called Hong Xi is a distant relative of the Hou Mansion.

When he heard someone ask, he said, "I'm in charge, you're the one" The ass was still sitting on the bench and didn't move, Zhou Quan didn't say anything at first glance, and directly took out the name card of Prince Guo Xing's mansion.

"My master is from the capital, you give this post to your wife, you will know" Hong Xi is surprised, the capital is not a trivial matter, take a look, Hong Xi also went to the school to know some words, only to see that it said [Prince Wu's Mansion Guo Xing] hurriedly got up and said, please stay for a while, I will go to report.

Besides, in the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Hong Tao and his wife Guo Lan were assessing their son's knowledge, and as he was talking, Hong Xi came in, handed Guo Xing's post up and reported it, especially when there were two outside, Hong Tao heard it, and knew that Guo Xing was coming, Guo Lan also guessed it, and the husband and wife combined, this matter had to be known to the father.

I didn't assess the children's knowledge, and went straight to the study of the loyal and brave Hou Hongzhen, and the old marquis said directly when he heard it, "Open the middle door, tidy up the clothes, and we will go to greet it" After all, Guo Xing's identity is there, and he is the prince of the country.

After a while, I saw that the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion was open in the middle door, the old marquis was current, Hong Tao Guo Lan was behind, and the whole family appeared at the door together, and Guo Xing is big salute.

Guo Xing hurriedly helped up the old marquis, a group of people went straight to the living room, after coming to the living room, everyone was a group of harmony, and fished out some homely things, Guo Xing's royal etiquette made people unable to find fault, Guo Xing spoke, "I have heard for a long time that there is a treasure knife given by the emperor in the study of the marquis, sharpening iron like clay, I don't know if Xing is fortunate to have a look."

As soon as the old marquis heard it, he knew that Guo Xing was in trouble, and said, "Prince, please come with me, I will take the prince to appreciate."

Guo Lan didn't see it and interjected, "A knife, when can't you look at it, I'm looking at it another day, little brother"

Guo Xing said, "Eldest sister, younger brother is a martial arts idiot, I don't see it because I'm restless, after all, I've heard a big name for a long time."

Hong Tao saw something, and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, you go with your father, but my father won't even let us touch it" Guo Xing smiled, followed the old marquis is to the study, before entering, the old marquis explained, no one is within ten steps.

As soon as they entered the study, the two of them sat down, and the old marquis asked straight to the point, "Lord Wang, is there anything else?"

Guo Xingdao "Yes"

Then he said, "Loyal and brave Hou Hongzhen received the order".

When Hong Zhen heard this, he knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, the loyal and brave Marquis Hong Zhen takes the order."

Guo Zhong took out the secret decree of the emperor Guo Wei from his arms, handed it to Hong Zhen's hand, helped the old marquis up, and said, "Hou Ye, please look at yourself, when you come, your father and the emperor will explain, and Hou Ye can look at it" The old marquis took the secret decree and looked at it.

After reading it, Zhongyong Hou Hongzhen asked, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to explain?"

Guo Xing said, "Father said that the things mentioned in the secret decree should be prepared quickly, and at the same time, I asked my brother-in-law and sister to take the children and go to Beijing in August to receive the title, and there will be no others" August, known as the month of nobility, is rewarded once every three years, mainly for the third generation of princes.

"It's just that you're going to let the old marquis suffer again" Guo Xing knew the content of the holy decree, which was to let the old marquis carry out a whole team of soldiers and horses in case of war with the grassland.

The old marquis, Hong Zhen, smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I've been paying attention to the situation on the grassland in recent years, and I started preparing at the beginning of the year."

As soon as Guo Xing heard this, he said, "Hou Ye is really an old commander in the army, but it's a pity that Jingnei is still arguing about this matter."

When the old marquis heard this, he "snorted" and said, "Those rotten Confucians, they understand the dangers of the grassland, and they should be killed if they mislead the country", Guo Xing heard that this old man was still a hawk.

"What Hou Ye said is right, if it is not my race, its heart must be different, and these white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with it should be killed" Guo Xing said this to be appreciated by the old Hou Ye, and he was very angry with the old Hou Ye.

The old marquis's family has a deep blood feud with the grassland, and his three brothers and one son all died in the hands of the grassland people, can the old man not hate, so the views on Guo Xing's extermination of the grassland people are absolutely consistent.

Guo Xingzai Zhongyong Marquis Mansion lived for eight days, every day was a tour of the mountains and rivers, and the old marquis began to organize the soldiers and horses to prepare for war according to the emperor's arrangement.

On this day, Guo Xing said goodbye, and the family was treated for a while, and the next day he left Wuyang City with Zhou Quan, and set off for the second destination, Yunzhou, Guo Xing still had a good impression of Guo Jun's second brother, and gave himself a sword [Zhenyue Sword] and explained the problem of martial arts for himself.

On the way, Guo Xing also challenged a lot of famous masters with his face, but he didn't let go of anyone who was a little famous, and they were all masters at the martial arts level, with fewer wins and more defeats, but every time he relied on this light skill [Fei Hongbu] to escape, after getting out, he rested for a few days and felt that he was going to continue to hurry, and kept thinking about his lack of martial arts, and his kung fu has made obvious progress compared with when he was in Beijing.

The governance of Yunzhou is located in Tianyun City, not far from Tianyong City is the world-famous Han Pass, out of the Han Pass is the grassland, the Han Pass is the first line of resistance to the grassland, the whole station is 50,000 soldiers and horses, and then to the north is to leave the pass, out of the pass is the desert, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the pass, Tian Yong City is in the middle of the two passes for a long time stationed 100,000 troops, and other places are scattered with 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Yunzhou no big households is an obvious performance, the long years of conquest made the big households sell their land early and moved to the Central Plains, so Guo Jun to Yunzhou after the post is to strictly prevent land annexation, and issued a decree, individuals own more than 100 acres of land began to pay heavy taxes and can use grain to deduct taxes, the land is concentrated, but also the development of military tun, to solve the food problem, although the big households in Yunzhou are less than ten years but the people live a good life, the emperor takes into account the characteristics of Yunzhou is also a series of tax exemptions, it can be said that the life of the people of Yunzhou is still good.

When he stepped into Yunzhou, Guo Xing felt a pre-war tension, and the county began martial law, so Zhou Quan went to inquire about the situation and learned that Aqilang, the fourth son of the former grassland overlord Ziger, had unified the prairie, and the vanguard troops had already arrived outside the Han Pass, and Yunzhou was under martial law in the whole state.

The food and equipment troops allocated by the imperial court began to set off for Yunzhou, Guo Xing felt the tension before the war, and had an excitement from his bones, and an urge to be bloodthirsty, so he rushed to Tianyun City with Zhou Quanshi at an accelerated pace.

Tianyun City has begun to implement a curfew at this moment, and the entry and exit of the city must be strictly checked, especially the food and other controlled materials, which are only allowed to enter and not exit, and the soldiers on the city wall are standing straight with their backs on their backs, with a resolute face, Guo Xing has to admire the second brother's level of leading troops after seeing it.

The two were found at the gate of the city, and the reason for entering the city was to visit relatives, and they had to register the names of relatives, which can be described as very detailed, but if something was wrong, they were arrested immediately, Guo Xing had no choice but to let Zhou Quan identify himself.

Zhou Quan found the officer in charge of the inspection of the city gate, and said that he wanted to see their general, and after weighing it, the team officer took Zhou Quan to the side of the office, and met the captain Liu Yan, Liu Yan was picked up by Guo Jun in recent years, from the small soldier to the captain, the young man has a fierce meaning.

After Zhou Quan saw it, he handed Guo Xing's post directly without saying a word, Liu Yan took the post and was stunned when he saw it, and after carefully looking at Zhou Quan, he determined Zhou Quan's identity as a eunuch, so he got up and asked, "Steward Zhou, where is the adult?"

Zhou Quan said, "My lord is still waiting at the city gate, General Liu" Liu Yan is not stupid, he usually hears Guo Jun praise his little brother, if he is lazy, isn't he looking for guilt.

Hurriedly said, "Let's go, Steward Zhou, I will send someone to escort the adults to the Governor's Mansion" Liu Yan took Zhou Quan is straight to the city gate, and at the same time arranged for his henchmen to go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to report, this matter must be reported to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in advance.

Zhou Quan and Liu Yan came to the city gate, and saw a noble boy standing on the side of the road, so he walked forward to pay a big salute, and said, "The last general will brave the captain Liu Yan to meet the prince."

Guo Xing knew that it was impossible for him to enter the city quietly, so he picked up Liu Yan and said, "It's not the right time for this king to come, I'm causing you trouble" Liu Yan didn't even dare to say.
