Chapter 17 What is the Life of a Man?

On July 12, Guo Ying feasted on the young masters of Beijing and a group of familiar generals in Pingkangfang.

When the wine was hot, he suddenly got up and told everyone that he would leave for the western frontier tomorrow, which caused everyone to be stunned.

Although Guo Ying's poems at the Zenfukuji Poetry Meeting the day before yesterday have been fermented for a day and two nights, they have been spread to the point that women and children know about it.

But the dignitaries in Beijing only thought that he was pretending to be worried about the country and the people, and used the topic to play, after all, it was not the first day of acquaintance, who would have thought that he would really go to the border of Western Xinjiang, which was really a bit unexpected.

"Hachiro, aren't you asking for your own hardship?"

The one who spoke was the eldest grandson of the late Fufeng County King Ma Lan, Ma Ming.

He is slightly older than Guo Ying, but his personality is out-of-the-box and his behavior is reckless, among the children of the nobles, he is the one who can cause trouble, but his relationship with Guo Ying is also the best.

is the only one who does not shy away from being in front of Guo Ying, does not pay attention to those red tapes, and can say whatever he wants.

"What is the situation in Xijiang, others don't know, I don't know, not to mention the sword without eyes, the war is dangerous, just the poor mountains and bad waters, it is enough to make people daunting, why do you have to suffer that sin.

Stay in Chang'an, let's have delicious food and wine, beautiful women, isn't it? ”

Ma Ming chattered and persuaded, and the rest of the noble sons and daughters of the same age as him echoed one after another.

On weekdays, they either go to Huajie Willow Lane together to have fun, or they recite poems or drink and play, but Guo Ying suddenly wants to go to the border to defend the border, isn't this a joke!

Big brother is gone, how can you play?

"Banquet Anyu (dān) poison, don't be pregnant!" Guo Ying waved his hand, interrupting everyone's advice, and Wen Yan explained: "In the past, I didn't know about the affairs of my family and country, and I was prodigal and behaved perversely.

Recently, I thought about it in the house, and accidentally turned to the letter that my cousin Guo Xin wrote to my father from Anxi six years ago, and I knew that Anxi and Beiting were in danger. ”

Guo Ying's voice was very low, with a hint of sadness in his tone, but more of a firmness.

"I have made up my mind, you don't need to say much, if you have the heart to help me, prepare a bow and horse, so that I can recruit one or two warriors."

With that, he picked up the bowl and drank it down.

The spicy wine pierced his throat, choking him and coughing, but it couldn't hide the essence and high fighting spirit that burst out of his eyes.

When everyone saw him like this, where were they embarrassed to dissuade him?

"I've had this ambition for a long time, count me in."

Li Xun was the first to get up and respond, he was the fifth son of Li Sheng, the king of Hechuan County, a famous general of this dynasty, and Guo Ying was friendly with him, and Guo Ying was a brother.

"Hachiro, you know me, I have never had great ambitions, and I don't have the slightest military talent, so I won't trouble you.

However, the good horses in the old man's stable are also idle, and I will let people lead them to the door of Guo's mansion later. ”

Ma Ming smiled, he couldn't be half interested in going out of Beijing at all.

What he loves most is to eat, drink, and be merry, watch operas and listen to music, and let him go to that bitter cold place to suffer, it is better to kill him.

Of course, Emperor Li Shi's destruction of the Ma family's mansion will inevitably make Ma Ming resentful.

After listening to Ma Ming's words, other good-natured generals also expressed their reluctance to go, but the material and spiritual support was not less.

Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and Guo Ying was already slightly drunk, and by being drunk, he danced the sword.

He has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and has a deep attainment in swordsmanship, when he dances the sword, the sword is fast, and the sword moves are like a storm, but it is elegant, which is breathtaking.

"What is a man's life?

Get on the horse and hit the crazy Hu, and get off the horse to write the military book.

The teacher bound Zampu, and the capital was captured. ”

Dancing to the place where it rises, Guo Ying sings loudly.

At his age, he is the most energetic time in his life, and he has always had a chivalrous name, which suddenly attracted a lot of Jingshi and young people, and even the long-famous tycoon expressed his intention in public.

The feast is over.

Guo Ying has hundreds of good horses and fifty warriors.

……

After everything, it was twilight when I returned to Guo's mansion.

Guo Ying was preparing to rest after bathing, but the steward Guo Ada, who hurriedly came to report, said that two scholars came to the house in the afternoon and handed over the name post.

Liulang Guo Yu saw that the two of them talked well and had a big mind, so he invited them into the house and entertained them well, but how did the two insist on seeing Guo Ying......

"Who is it? can be worthy of my sixth brother's evaluation of a big heart, which can be regarded as a bit of a pound. After hearing Guo Ada's report, Guo Ying said interestingly.

But he didn't take it to heart.

The election of officials in this dynasty is in a state of parallel to the imperial examination system and the recommendation system, in order to embark on a career in office, there are often scholars who will offer poems and essays to the powerful in order to get recommendations, so it is a common practice to do so.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Meng Haoran and other great poets...... have left a lot of dry poems.

In the past, there were many literati who came to Guo Mansion to find Liulang Guo Hua and Princess Shengping to offer poems, and there were also talented people, such as Li Duan, a talented man who took a lot of care of Guo Ying at the poetry meeting a few days ago.

Therefore, Guo Ying is not interested in this, if the other party is really a down-and-out literati who has come to seek recommendations, he naturally has no need to meet him.

"A person named Wei Gao, a Jingzhao person; A man named Fan Ze, a man in the river. Guo Ah bowed and replied.

Hearing this, Guo Ying's originally casual face suddenly changed.

"What do you mean these two are called?"

"Wei Gao, Fan Ze."

"Where are the people?"

Guo Ying stood up suddenly, grabbed Guo Ada's collar, and asked urgently.

It's not that he reacted violently, but the name Wei Gao is too shocking.

Just like Li Jing and Li Ji were first recommended in the early Tang Dynasty, and Wang Zhonghei, Guo Ziyi, and Li Guangbi were promoted in the Tang Dynasty, when it comes to the Middle Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to bypass Wei Gao.

In history, during the 21 years he guarded Shudi, he broke 480,000 soldiers and horses in Tubo, captured Tubo and talked about recklessness, killed 1,500 birds, governors, city lords, and cage officials, beheaded more than 50,000 levels, obtained 250,000 cattle and sheep, collected 6.3 million instruments, and was crowned the king of Nankang County, known as "the reincarnation of Wuhou".

Such a big celebrity came to visit, Guo Yingyan could not be excited.

Guo Adaa was also shocked by Guo Ying's reaction, in his memory, Hachiro has never been surprised, how could he hear the names of these two people but suddenly turn things up?

Aren't they just two down-and-out men who have resigned?

Although there were many doubts in his heart, Guo Ada did not dare to slack off, and replied respectfully: "Isn't it time to close the door, the slave maid saw the speculation of these two visitors chatting with Liulangjun in the afternoon, so she arranged for the two to live in the backyard annex." ”

"Good, good, it's good to be here."

Guo Ying said three good words in a row, immediately loosened Guo Ada's clothes, and strode to the backyard.

Wei Gao, with the posture of a famous general.

This is the talent he needs most to succeed in the future, and no matter what, he can't let this talented person who has entered the urn run away.

As for Fan Ze, although his reputation is not obvious, and he has never heard of it, he expects that the other party will not be an ordinary person.

There is a saying that "things gather people in groups", look at Zhuge Liang's four friends, Boling Cui Zhouping, Yingchuan Xu Yuanzhi, Yingchuan Shi Guangyuan, Runan Meng Gongwei, which one is an ordinary man.

Since this Fan Ze can get Wei Gao's favor and walk with him, he is also capable.

The more Guo Ying thought about it, the more she felt that these two people were like a gift from God, but they couldn't be found, and the pace was a little faster.

"Lang Jun, my hair is not dried, be careful of catching a cold."

The maid standing on the side saw Guo Yingtou Mu Fa Mu halfway, and hurriedly ran out, holding a handkerchief and chasing after her, her voice spread throughout the courtyard, and even woke up the sleeping maids.

But where can Guo Ying take care of these details at the moment, he just reached out and stroked his wet long hair slightly, and then went straight to the West Chamber.

Because it was late and there were many steps in the house, by the time Guo Ying arrived at the backyard annex from the West Chamber, the two clogs on his feet had long since disappeared.
