Chapter 748: Extravagance and Destruction

Wei Qi said: "You are a good general, you should know better that the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people."

He said: "Qingzhou City is not high, the pool is not deep, the military revolution is strong, and there is no shortage of rice millet, why is it losing and retreating? It's because the location is not as good as the people. General Gou Chun has lost the support of the people in Qingzhou, and if he attacks again, it will be half the effort, so the general might as well take a step back."

Gou Xi has a hard personality and is stubborn, he directly refused, but the staff around him are long-thinking and can think, after Gou Xi refused, he still asked, "How did General Wei take a step back?"

Wei Qi said: "Divide Qingzhou into two, but you can merge Le'an County into Yanzhou."

The staff's eyes flashed, thinking that this was okay, but they asked for more than just Le'an County, he said: "In addition to Le'an County, there is also Jinan County, and the rest of Qi County, Beihai County, Chengyang County, Donglai, Changguang, and then split into two."

Wei Qi looked at Gou Xi.

The staff persuaded Gou Xi in a low voice: "Lord, the situation in Qingzhou is like this, and if we continue to fight, it will do more harm than good to us, it is better to take a step back, spring plowing is important."

Wei Qi on the side reminded: "General, Zhao Tingshi may not have the intention of taking advantage of people's danger, but Liu Yuan and Shi Le may not be gentlemen."

Gou Xi's face was ugly, and the staff persuaded him again, and then he agreed to take a step back.

He agreed here, but Wang Jun and Wang Dun did not agree, if Jinan County was also incorporated into Yanzhou, then Wang Jun and Wang Dun would have to retreat.

The territory they have won by their ability, why should they retreat if they say a word?

However, all three parties relented, and everyone negotiated a temporary truce.

In the end, Zhao Hanzhang and the emperor did the middle, for the three of them, and divided Jinan County into two, half to Gou Xi, half to Wang Jun, as for Wang Dun, the imperial court took the Guangzhou Assassin Shi in exchange for him to give up the two counties of Jinan County occupied by him.

When the war subsided, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he issued three decrees in succession, one was to divide Cheongju into Cheongju and Gwangju, each with its own jurisdiction; the second is to appoint Wang Jun as the Qingzhou Assassin and Wang Dun as the Gwangju Assassin; Third, the individual counties of Jinan County and Le'an County are under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou......

Zhao Hanzhang saw that the war had subsided, so he wrote to impeach Gou Chun, demanding that the emperor and Gou Xi severely punish Gou Chun, thinking that he was harsh and cruel and lost the hearts of the people, so he caused this disaster, and asked them to replace the officials who managed Le'an County.

The emperor thought that Zhao Hanzhang was right, and specially summoned Gou Xi, hoping that he could restrain Gou Chun, and pointed out a new county guard to Le'an County.

Because of the Qingzhou incident, the Gou Xi brothers were greatly disappointed, and Gou Xi's prestige was greatly reduced, and he could already feel the opinions of his subordinates.

This feeling had only been felt once after killing Yan Heng, and this time, it was even more obvious.

So Gou Xi did not agree to the emperor's instructions, he did not trust the county guard chosen by the emperor, he picked one himself, but recalled Gou Chun to Yuncheng.

Gou Xi, who had been indulging in lust for a year, had almost broken his will and body, and finally had a sense of crisis, walked out of his general's mansion, and began to look at his army.

However, he is accustomed to getting up at three poles in the morning, how can he get out of bed before dawn and go to the simple and cold barracks to train as in the past?

He was accustomed to a high bed and soft pillows, so how could he go to sleep on a wooden board in the barracks as before, with only a thin quilt on his body?

He is used to eating delicious food, and his stomach is soaked with oil and water, how can he still nibble on steamed buns with mixed grains?

So he only lasted less than a decade, and when his heart and stomach were clamoring to eat delicious food, he couldn't hold back, and called someone to serve fish and wine, and after a good drink, he couldn't help but fall asleep according to his heart, and when he woke up the next day, it was almost noon...... Chinese Net

Not long after Gou Xixinna's concubine came to see him with chicken soup, she and a group of maidservants served him to get up, and said softly: "General, this concubine got up in the early morning and boiled it herself, and it has been simmering slowly for three hours.

The chicken soup has been skimmed off the oil slick, it is not greasy, but it is bright, but it is fragrant in the nose, and then take a sip, and the impulse to eat meat due to thrift has been greatly relieved in the past few days, and the effect is better than the big fish and meat eaten last night.

Gou Xi leaned comfortably on the pillow erected and went out

In one breath, he asked, "What about Erlang?"

Concubine Ji replied: "The little general went out early in the morning, and I heard that the county government caught a few thieves yesterday, and he went to deal with it."

Gou Xi frowned slightly, got up and dressed, "He is too guarded, and the judgment of thieves is a matter of the county order, what does he care about this?"

Concubine Ji smiled and said, "Be angry, the little general has a great temper these days, and he has punished several people in the mansion......

Before she finished speaking, the maidservants who were waiting in the room had changed their faces greatly, and they fell to their knees and trembled.

Concubine Ji looked dazed, not understanding what was wrong with them.

Gou Xi glanced at her coldly, and said outside, "Come on, pull her down to teach the rules."

Without waiting for Concubine Ji to speak, two guards came in outside, lowered their heads and didn't look at Gou Xi, covered Concubine Ji's mouth and dragged people down.

Gou Xi got dressed with a gloomy face, and then looked at these maids who were still kneeling on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly, "Since I went to receive the punishment, if the ladies are not good in the future, it means that you have not taught them well."

The maidservants trembled in response, and then dared to get up and serve Gou Xi, and when he left, the maids in the house honestly went to the torture room to receive the punishment, and no one dared to fool him.

The meal was already prepared in the dining room, and this morning Gou Xi didn't get up at midnight, and the housekeeper knew that it was not good, so he immediately asked people to go out of the house to buy a large number of ingredients, and he started preparing it in the morning, and now he finally made a table of barely eye-catching meals.

There are a total of 28 dishes, some are cold and hot, there are soup and meat, and there are the most rare tender vegetable sprouts in this season.

Gou Xi sat down at the table without changing his face, and the key was to know that he had guessed correctly, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stepped forward to serve him for dinner.

Seeing the housekeeper's old face, Gou Xi frowned.

The housekeeper instantly comprehended, immediately bowed down, beckoned, and the beautiful maid waiting outside immediately came in, one left and one right, two on one side, holding chopsticks to add food to him, the action was elegant, the chopsticks flew over, basically his eyes fell on which dish, and someone immediately sent it over......

Gou Xi ate this meal very comfortably, and felt that this was life.

When the meal was finished, it was already too late, and the sun was shining brighter outside, but before he was full, he couldn't help but feel sleepy, and he also felt that his shoulder was a little sore in the past few days of riding horse and archery and practicing martial arts.

So he sat outside and basked in the sun while giving the maidservants a massage.

Now that they are all basking in the sun, how can there be no singing and dancing under boredom?

There are now more than 200 maids and maids in Gou Xi's mansion, among which there are many talented people, so they sing and sing, dance, and play the piano, and the general's mansion has returned to its former liveliness.

An official passed under the wall of the General's Mansion, and deliberately asked the ox cart to stop to listen to the singing and piano inside, and after a while, he shook his head in disappointment, with an indissoluble sorrow in his eyes, "The Great General is ruined."
