As soon as he returned to Hangzhou, Gao Buer ordered someone to write a letter, asking Zhang Zhongping to lead an army of 20,000 troops to Hangzhou, and asked Zhang Zhongping to order Duan Zhixuan to lead an army of 20,000 to Taiyuan to support Li Yuan, because the Turks were about to move, and Liu Wuzhou recognized the Turkic Khan as his father, and had the intention of going south, Li Yuan's strength was weak, and he wrote again to ask Gao Buer for support.

Hangzhou City, because of the increase in the number of displaced people, the population has approached 200,000, and Gao Buer also took the opportunity to expand the army to 50,000, even so, it is not enough to be the enemy of the world, in order to ensure the safety of Empress Xiao and her children, after soliciting the advice of Empress Xiao, he personally led people to send them to the big island overseas, preparing to wait for the world to be peaceful and then let them come back.

Soon after Gao Buer returned from the open sea, Yang Guang's envoys arrived, bringing with them the edict of Gao Buji as the generalissimo of the expedition to the south and the gold medal of Ru Zhen's personal visit, and at the same time crowning Gao Buer as the king of Chu, and the holy decree was also conveyed to the world.

So Gao Buer was busy in an instant, and now there is wolf smoke everywhere, and the counties south of the Yangtze River are sent to Gao Buer's desk like snowflakes.

Gao Buer promoted all the original members of the Hangzhou Assassin's Mansion to the staff of the Chu Palace, and the documents were reviewed by Xiao Yumei, and he led people to inspect the barracks and nearby towns to appease the people, and announced the abolition of the levy tax before the Sui Dynasty, reducing the tax of the southern people to 30 taxes and 1 to 15 taxes, and exempting the disaster areas from taxes for two years, encouraging people to resume production, and the thieves had their own officials and soldiers to levy.

More than a month later, the people in Yuhang were a little settled and gradually resumed production. Zhang Zhongping also led 20,000 iron horsemen back to Hangzhou.

Gaojiazhuang, Gaofu was changed to the residence of the king of Chu, in the lobby, Zhang Zhongping knelt down on one knee and said: "King Chu, according to the edict, his subordinates ordered Duan Zhixuan to lead 20,000 troops to Taiyuan, and the northwest grassland left nearly 20,000 iron horsemen, and his subordinates led 20,000 troops to obey the order. ”

When Gao Buer heard this, he laughed and said: "Okay, you have worked hard in the northwest for so many years, this king named you the general of the town army, and the rebellious general Li Jing is in charge of the handsome seal, you rest for a few days, and after five days, we will send troops to recruit Li Zitong, the best can be eliminated, and if you can't eliminate it, you will be driven back to Jiangbei." ”

"Subordinates obey."

Five days later, Gao Buer gathered generals in the palace of the king of Chu, looked at the subordinates of the Yaxia, Gao Buer said: "I am deeply entrusted by the emperor, and I was ordered to conquer the people who are not ministers south of the Yangtze River, and now the plan has been decided, first chase Li Zitong to control the important towns along the Yangtze River, and then go south to seek peace with Lin Shihong, and then go west, and finally enter Shu, planning to pacify all the ministers in the south within five years, I hope everyone can work together." ”

This policy was discussed in advance with Li Jing, Zhang Zhongping, Gu Ci and other subordinates, and Gao Buer announced it, indicating that it would be officially implemented at this moment.

Gao Buer saw that everyone had no objections, and continued: "This king personally commands all the military affairs, and when this king is not in the palace, all internal affairs such as stabilizing the people's hearts and resuming production will be handled by his wife Xiao Yumei and the officials of the Chu Palace. ”

Everyone was not surprised, because for a period of time, the internal decrees were all from Xiao Yumei, so they said in unison: "Obey." ”

Gao Buer said again: "There is a way to be a soldier and a god speed, although Li Zitong thief army has now occupied Jinling and Wu County, but has not yet joined forces with Lin Shihong's thief army, take this opportunity, we want to chase it to Jiangbei in one fell swoop, Zhang Zhongping will lead an army of 20,000 to take Jinling, Li Jing and Hongfu Nu will lead an army of 40,000 waterways and enter Wu County and Biling County, and will decide to attack at their own discretion outside, no need to ask for instructions, as long as the result of this king, if there is no problem, immediately go down to prepare, and set off in three days." ”

The crowd sang in unison.

After everyone went out, Gao Buer left Gu Ci behind and said to him: "Now we don't have many soldiers and horses in our hands, leave you 5,000, and the stability of Hangzhou City will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand, please rest assured."

Waiting for Gu Ci to leave, Xiao Yumei and Dugu Binglan walked in, Gao Buer smiled and said, "Thanks to Madame's help as a husband, Lan'er still has to go with me on the expedition, hard Madame." ”

Xiao Yumei took his arm and said, "I can share my husband's worries, and the concubine is very happy." My husband is careful when I am out fighting, but fortunately, I am relieved that I have Lan'er's sister with my husband. ”

Gao Buer glanced at Dugu Binglan, although she was also worried about Gao Buer's safety, but she couldn't say anything if she was too intimate, Gao Buer took her hand and said: "The Dugu family has now established an alliance with my eldest brother Li Yuan, so I don't have to worry, Mrs. wants to tell Xiao Yu that when things are unacceptable, you might as well take the path of the Dugu family, anyway, everyone is in-law, so don't be embarrassed." ”

When Xiao Yumei heard this, she nodded, she knew that Gao Buer must rely on what she said, so she agreed not to add trouble to Gao Buer and didn't ask for a reason.

Gao Buer said to Dugu Binglan again: "I entrusted you with my wife for my husband, you have to be responsible for your husband, who asked you to snatch this errand from Miss Xiao's hand." After that, he also pinched Dugu Binglan's pink face.

Dugu Binglan was blushed by his rogue husband, but she still said with a straight face: "The battlefield is so dangerous, how can Sister Su, a weak woman, take care of her husband, don't worry, everything has a concubine." ”

Although Gao Fuji's own force value is off the charts, but Mrs.'s love can't be disappointed, let them go, with Li Jing and their perverted couple, there are definitely not many opportunities for him to end up in person. Gao Fuji is very confident in this regard.
