Looking at the only line of words on the paper in his hand, Wu Shaoxiong was stunned at first, and his first reaction was that this was really the style of Emperor Li Chen, always so concise.

Li Yu's legacy to Guo Rong was very simple, so simple that it was only a sentence, or a poem.

Hundreds of battlefields have been broken, the book of heaven has newly worshiped Han Zhonglang, Changying has gone west to the point of no return, and the oath of good news has spread all over Chang'an!

At first glance, he was surprised, but after reading it, Wu Shaoxiong put away his previous wry smile, his expression became respectful and dignified, and he unconsciously glanced at Guo Rong next to him.

If he remembers correctly, Guo Rong once told him that when he first arrived in Chang'an and first met the Emperor Li Xu, Li Yu promised Guo Rong that he would definitely do his best to help Guo Rong, open up Hexi, recover Anxi, and rebuild Anxi and Beiting......

Guo Rong put forward his idea, Li Yu agreed, and the two barely mentioned Anxi again.

Wu Shaoxiong knew that Guo Rong established a forbidden army for Li Yu, made suggestions and suggestions for the Tang Dynasty, and fought for the Tang Dynasty's expedition to the east and west, and what he did was to prepare for returning to Anxi in the future.

Guo Rong is like this, so what about Li Chen, Guo Rong didn't ask more, and Wu Shaoxiong couldn't ask.

However, such a poem as a last word is obviously telling Guo Rong that all the efforts he has made Li Yu have seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart.

Breaking the captives has made a hundred battlefields, and the book of heaven has newly worshiped Han Zhonglang.

Changying went west to the point of no return, and the oath of good news spread all over Chang'an!

On the surface, it is Li Chen's expectation, Li Chen's affirmation of Guo Rong's return to Anxi, and Li Chen's encouragement and support for Guo Rong's expedition to Hexi.

In particular, "Tianshu Xinbai Han Zhonglang" almost directly shows that no matter who is the Son of Heaven and who controls Chang'an, he will definitely provide absolute support for Guo Rong's expedition to the west.

Moreover, according to Li Chen's consistent style of acting, Wu Shaoxiong was sure that before he died, Li Yu must have already arranged follow-up matters for Guo Rong.

It may even have been arranged for Guo Rong to lead his army to the west......

But thinking about it from another angle, it is not a reminder.

No wonder Li Yu never worried that Guo Rong would turn his back on Datang, no wonder Li Yu was willing to give Guo Rong the greatest trust.

No wonder Guo Rong can adjust his condition so quickly, no wonder Guo Rong can keep his heart.

At least Wu Shaoxiong knew that at least at this moment, Guo Rong's greatest wish was to lead his troops back to Anxi and take the old men he had been thinking about for several years back to Chang'an, which was the greatest support for Guo Rong.

If Li Chan really did this step, with Guo Rong's character, Li Chan would give him a peach, and Guo Rong would definitely repay him.

After pondering carefully and making sure that there was nothing wrong with his analysis, Wu Shaoxiong put down the letter with the Emperor's last order and picked up another letter.

According to Wu Shaoxiong's current understanding of Li Yu and Guo Rong, in this letter from Li Chun, I am afraid that there are all the follow-up arrangements for Li Xun.

Calmly opened the hand, and what caught his eye was a page full of neat seal scripts, which was also Li Chun's meticulous style.

Confirming that this was Li Chun's handwritten letter, Wu Shaoxiong took a cursory look at the contents inside, and sure enough, he found what he wanted to see.

However, what shocked Wu Shaoxiong the most was not the arrangements about Guo Rong and the Anxi Army, but Li Yu's arrangements for himself.

Shou finally on the battlefield, sleeping between the attack, the last moment of his life led the horn of the attack, and integrated life into the iron blood and glory of Datang.

】

There was nothing to say in this book, Wu Shaoxiong even envied Li Yu a little, but what shocked Wu Shaoxiong the most was that after Li Yu died, he asked to prevent his remains from being on the head of Chen Cangcheng.

When will the Tibetan people be driven away, and when will his remains leave the city of Chencang.

Wu Shaoxiong knew that Li Yu had given up an inch of land in Chen Cang's last edict before he died;

Wu Shaoxiong also knew that Li Yu had made an oath that the Son of Heaven would guard the country and the king would die;

However, putting his own corpse on top of the city attacked by the enemy, using his body to boost morale and strengthen his beliefs, this is really beyond the scope of Wu Shaoxiong's cognition.

I have seen those who are cruel to others, and I have seen those who are ruthless to themselves, but they have to exert their own remains to this extent, at least in Wu Shaoxiong's impression, this is the only one, and there is no semicolon!

Originally, Wu Shaoxiong was still surprised, why Guo Rong was so enthusiastic that he wanted to wear white yarn on the left shoulder of all the soldiers.

Now, it seems that the white yarn is not enough to show the emperor who has dedicated everything to the Tang Dynasty around him.

"If my guess is correct, after reading these two letters, the general has already decided to proceed according to the deployment and plan of the first emperor, right?"

"The Emperor?"

Unconsciously repeating the word, Guo Rong's mind buzzed again.

The first emperor, not the emperor.

Although he has accepted the fact of Li Chen's death, whenever he hears information or sentences related to Li Chen's death, Guo Rong's heart will always flash a trace of sadness in his mind, as if to remind him that the emperor who can always protect him is really gone, and the rest of the way can only rely on himself, Anxi also needs to fight back by himself.

Sighing softly, Guo Rong soothed his emotions and nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Wu, I have seriously considered it, Taishang...... The first emperor, I am ready to prepare from now on in accordance with the last order of the first emperor, Hexi is now the economic lifeline of the Tubo people, once the attack on Hexi, the Tubo people will definitely do their best, and I am afraid that the scale of another war to destroy the country will be at that time. ”

"War is never a child's play, and the war to destroy the country is not a child's play, this is related to the national glory of my Tang Dynasty and Tubo for hundreds of years in the future, and it is by no means a soldier who can decide overnight."

"In the past, the elite of the rebels lost the price of the battle of Xiangji Temple, but after the recovery of the two capitals, it took another six full years to completely quell the Anshi Rebellion."

"At present, the scale of the rebellion in Hebei and Liaodong is far less than that of the Anshi Rebellion in the past, but it will take at least half a year to a year to thoroughly assess Hebei and Liaodong."

"Since it is a war to destroy the country, it is not enough to rely on hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, not to mention that a considerable part of the responsibilities of the existing forbidden army is to guard Chang'an and guard Guanzhong, so expanding the forbidden army and strengthening the border army is the only way."

"After the rebellion is quelled, the selection of new soldiers and the formation and training of the new army are not enough for half a year, and the selection and training are completed......

"Yes, the grain and grass needed by hundreds of thousands of troops is an astronomical amount, in Guanzhong, Henan, and Hebei are not far from Jianghuai, and there is also the Grand Canal to transport grain and grass, but in order to ensure the progress of the decisive battle in Bianzhou, the conscripted people and strong men are still more than 50,000, plus the conscripted feudal soldiers, the personnel responsible for logistics and transportation are even as high as 150,000......"

Speaking of the counteroffensive against Hexi and the all-round attack on Tubo, Guo Rong's state instantly entered its peak.

Looking at Guo Rong, who was full of energy and talked endlessly, Wu Shaoxiong had to admit that the Emperor Li Yu was too accurate in looking at people.

In this way, one said, the other listened, and after a quarter of an hour, Guo Rong wiped out the gloom and gloom in his mind because of the death of the Emperor Taishang, until ......

"That's roughly it, the three-year filial piety period can make all the preparations, and as soon as the three-year filial piety period is over, I will immediately ask Your Majesty to go on an expedition, and at the same time break through Hexi, completely defeat the Tubo people......"

"This, general, what is the three-year filial piety period?"

"Ahh

Wu Shaoxiong's words made Guo Rong directly stunned, although he didn't know why Wu Shaoxiong asked this, but Guo Rong still said honestly.

"The Emperor...... When the emperor died, didn't he need to keep filial piety for three years? ”

Before Guo Rong's words were finished, just three years of filial piety, Wu Shaoxiong's face had a wicked smile that could not be described in words.

Looking at Wu Shaoxiong's abnormal smile, Guo Rong was also a little unconfident, seeing Wu Shaoxiong smiling and silent, Guo Rong could only speak by himself.

"Mr. Wu, is there something wrong?"

"Who told you that filial piety and mourning for three years!"

"Ahh

This time, Guo Rong was completely confused.

"After three years of mourning, that's the children...... And even if it is a three-year mourning, it will be over in twenty-five months......"

Wu Shaoxiong gave Guo Rong a live version of the lecture hall on ancient Chinese funeral etiquette in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Guo Rong was stunned for a while.

"Forget it, when you are in Anxi, the day is not safe, I'm afraid no one will tell you about these things, and when you come to the Central Plains, you are either training or fighting, you don't know it's normal, it's just ......"

After thinking about it, Wu Shaoxiong thought of more possibilities.

"It stands to reason that there are many things that cannot be moved during the mourning period, such as not being able to raise troops, but these things are not absolute, in the name of mourning, the momentum of mourning soldiers may be flawed, but no one seems to be able to blame anything at the moment of critical survival, so it is ......"

As he spoke, Wu Shaoxiong suddenly thought of a possibility, what he could think of, Li Yu would definitely be able to think of it, if this was calculated by Li Xu, it would be terrifying.

"Mr. Wu, what do you mean by that?"

"Oh, it's nothing, if I'm not mistaken, you should want the whole army to wear black or white yarn for three years, and wait until three years later, when the army is used against Tibet, and then take it out, in order to break the boat."

"Uh, yes, this ......"

"Very well, I am sure that the Emperor will approve of your plan as well! I don't know what else the general commanded? ”

"Well, this, Mr. Wu, Your Majesty has asked me for reference ...... of the Emperor's name and temple number through an official document."

"Oh, this majesty will indeed convene important ministers to discuss, with the status of the general and the relationship between the general and the emperor, your majesty will indeed ask the general's opinion, although it may not be adopted, but it will definitely be within the scope of your majesty's final consideration, and the general needs to consider it carefully, I don't know how the general is going to respond?"

"This, Mr. Wu, what are the temple numbers and nicknames......

Good guy, looking at Guo Rong with a twisted face, Wu Shaoxiong's lecture hall started again.

“…… Meritorious deeds and demerits ...... the former kings who have made great contributions to the country and are worthy of eternal sacrifice by their descendants will especially catch up with the temple number to show the meaning of eternal temple worship......"

"Too?"

"I already have Taizong in my dynasty, Taizu ......"

"Medium?"

"High?"

"General, don't think about it, these have been used by the previous emperors of our dynasty."

However, there were too many emperors in the Tang Dynasty, and the most commonly used temple names such as "Tai", "Gao", "Shi", and "Zhong" have been used, so that a series of temple names such as De, Dai, and Xian were only used in the Tang Dynasty.

After pondering and meditating, Guo Rong vaguely remembered the "rule of benevolence" of the Ming generation.

"Ren? Forget it, it's not appropriate. ”

However, as soon as this benevolence was exported, Guo Rong himself shook his head, the Emperor Taishang is good at everything, but with Wei Guanzhi who has an "eagle falcon", the Emperor Taishang has absolutely nothing to do with the word Ren.

"Mr. Wu, how is Xuan?"

"Xuan?"

"Clearly observe and decide, follow the advice like a stream, be respectful and thrifty, love the people, strengthen the armament, declare the world, the general, and the old man thinks that it is feasible."

got affirmation from Wu Shaoxiong, and it can be regarded as completing one of his own things.

"Mr. Wu, the big battle with the Hebei rebels is about to begin, tomorrow Zhang Su, Han Chong, Cao Hua will come to the camp, I and the three of us have completed the military discussion, after the deployment is determined, we will bypass Zhengzhou from Songzhou, there are Mo Lingjun and Meng Gan in the war, there is no need to worry, but the rest of the things are still expected to be taken care of by Mr. Wu, at most, it is a day to recover Zhengzhou, complete the complete encirclement of the rebels, I will definitely return to the decisive battle with the enemy."

"Good! Rest assured! ”

In the fourth year of Yuanhe, on September 14, the advance of the Changying army advanced ten miles and began to camp in Xingsheng, about sixty miles east of Bianzhou City.

At the same time, Zhang Su, the envoy of Lubei Jiedu, Han Chong, the deputy envoy of Xuanwu Jiedu, and Cao Hua, the envoy of Yanhai Observer, arrived at the camp of the Changying Army in Zhuzhai on the same day.

The Yan Navy will be responsible for transporting the grain and grass from the Jianghuai region to the Bianzhou Theater, and at the same time will be responsible for monitoring the local environment and searching for possible Hebei rebels.

The Lubei Army changed direction and marched directly into Huazhou, and the Changying Army transferred an infantry regiment and two equipment battalions to the north to cooperate with the Lubei Army to take over Huazhou under the command of Yuan Zi, the envoy of Zheng Huajiedu.

The Xuanwu-Huaixi Army will continue to move in the direction of Daying, taking over all the wounded, sick, routed, and defeated soldiers in the Zhuzhai camp, and at the same time serving as a backup for the Changying Army.

At the same time, Guo Rong transferred all the 20,000 cavalry of the Yanhai, Lubei, and Xuanwu-Huaixi armies to supplement the cavalry of the Changying Army, which suffered heavy losses, under the command of Mo Lingjun, and also cooperated with the Lubei Army to take Xiazhou in the early stage.

As for the rest of the Changying Army, according to Guo Rong's previous arrangement, if the Hebei rebels attack, then stick to the treatment, if the other party does not attack, then the Changying Army will continue to march in the direction of Bianzhou in the form of a camp.

After completing all the arrangements, Guo Rong, escorted by more than 1,000 elite cavalry, bypassed Songzhou, Chenzhou, and Xuzhou, and went straight to Zhengzhou.

Three days later, Guo Rong successfully arrived outside the city of Zhengzhou, and almost at the same time arrived with 50,000 reinforcements from Chang'an.
