After a few more days, Guo Ying finally waited for the belated summons.

However, it was not a private summons, but a serious meeting of the Ascending Tent, and there were several generals and schools in attendance.

It's a pity that Guo Ying doesn't know any of them, but he guesses that there may be Liu Wenxi, the four towns and the Beiting camp, Yao Lingyan, the soldiers and horses in front of the Yaqian, and Feng Heqing, the soldiers and horses in the left wing, because he heard Wei Gao mention several people in power in Jingyuan before coming.

But who is who, he really can't tell for a while.

Duan Xiushi sat behind the handsome case, Xu was busy with military affairs, there were too many things to worry about, or he was old, his spirit was very poor, his face was sallow, his eyebrows and beard were all white, his hair was also bald, his eyes were cloudy and dull, and he looked like a weeping old man.

However, even so, Guo Ying did not dare to underestimate him, on the contrary, he admired the old man in front of him very much.

Because Duan Xiushi has been practicing the Confucian emphasis of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality" all his life, whether it is private morality or public morality, he has achieved the ultimate.

People often say that no one is perfect, but this is not very appropriate for Duan Xiushi, because he is a perfect person in the feudal era.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Suzong ascended the throne in Lingwu and recruited Liang Zai, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, to help quell the Anshi Rebellion.

After Duan Xiushi learned of this, he immediately met with Li Siye and persuaded him to raise troops to serve the king and fight the country together......

In the end, Li Siye led the army back to help and became famous in the battle of Xiangji Temple.

Moreover, Duan Xiushi is simple, frank and kind, and is known as a virtuous person in the government and the opposition, according to the law at this time, officials who hold two positions can get two shares, but he has always only taken one.

It was not a business party, he never played music and drank, there were no prostitutes and concubines at home, there was no excess property, and when he returned home, he just lived and meditated.

This is extremely rare among all the generals from ancient times to the present.

And this unique side of him has indeed earned him a name before and after.

Later, when Wen Tianxiang wrote the "Song of Righteousness", he wrote his deeds, and the sentence "Or to hit the thief's wat and break the head against the vertical." It is majestic and majestic. When it runs through the sun and the moon, the theory of life and death is "even more so that he will fight thieves with wat and blood, and his blood-stained deeds against the court will be remembered through the ages.

Let him and Zhang Liang, Su Wu, Yan Yan, Ji Shao, Zhang Xun, Yan Gaoqing, Guan Ning, Zhuge Liang, and Zu Ti become a symbol of the spirit of Zhuxia.

"The last general You Yi envoy Guo Ying, I have seen the handsome."

In a flash, Guo Ying had already walked to the front of Duan Xiushi's handsome case, hugged his fists and bowed.

His voice was loud and powerful, and although he did not wear armor, his body was straight, and his face was handsome, but he also looked heroic.

Duan Xiushi raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and bowed slightly: "Is it good to make the public security?" ”

"I'm tired and handsome, my father is still in good health, and he has to eat a big bowl at every meal." Guo Ying replied.

"That's good."

Duan Xiushi sighed with a smile, and his tone was low and slow: "In the past, when Ling Gong was appointed as the deputy marshal, the soldiers and horses of the seven towns in the northwest of Beijing were all dispatched by him, but now that Ling Gong is gone, the heavy responsibility of preparing for Tubo is pressed on Ben Shuai alone, and I am busy with it, so I neglected Guo Shijiang, you must not hold a grudge." ”

Duan Xiushi's attitude was very easy-going, which made Guo Ying a little unsure of his intentions.

However, since he was willing to greet him, Guo Ying naturally didn't want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he hurriedly responded with a smile: "The handsome man has every opportunity, and it is already a grace to be able to take time out of his busy schedule to summon the last general, how can the last general mind such trivial things, if this is the case, isn't it too small-bellied?" ”

Duan Xiushi glanced at him appreciatively, stroked his long hair lightly and said, "Ling Gong's son is well-giving, Guo Lang is really extraordinary." ”

"But ......"

At this point, his face suddenly turned cold, and his words changed: "Jingyuan is not as good as Jingshi, and the Rong people (the Tang people are used to referring to Tubo as a dog Rong) will not obediently dismount and be bound because you chant a few poems and make a few poems."

Similarly, Ben Shuai will not take care of you because of your background, if you really lose your teacher and lose your city, Ben Shuai will never tolerate and accommodate, I hope you know it! ”

Duan Xiushi's words were unceremoniously, even a little heartfelt, but they were also reasonable.

He is the head of a town, the commander of an army of 30,000, and it is impossible to ignore the overall situation for the sake of personal feelings, otherwise he will lose the morale of the army.

Rao is so, Guo Ying's airborne landing also made the soldiers of the four towns and the camp quite dissatisfied, and after the festival stayed, Liu Wenxi publicly said that he would not transfer his soldiers and horses to Guo Ying, and in the end, it was the soldiers and horses Feng He Qingnian and Guo Ziyi's support for him back then, and he came forward to undertake the deployment of soldiers and horses.

Although Guo Ying didn't know the inside story, he was not surprised by Duan Xiushi's vaccination in advance, so he didn't have the slightest embarrassment or displeasure on his face after listening to it, but nodded sincerely to express his understanding.

"Don't worry, the last general will know the severity."

"Yes, that's very good."

Duan Xiushi was originally afraid that Guo Ying would rely on his background to disobey military orders and act recklessly, but now after some contact, he saw that he was quite polite and spoke modestly and cautiously, and he couldn't help but breathe a little relieved in his heart.

After all, Guo Ying, the traveling envoy, was ordered by the emperor, and it was really difficult for him to send him back.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, Duan Xiushi instructed the guards to take a document and hand it to Guo Ying.

Guo Ying unfolded the paperwork, only glanced at it twice, and his face suddenly froze.

This is a specific letter of appointment, Duan Xiushi assigned him to the left wing of the soldiers and horses under the command of Feng Heqing, and transferred 300 elite cavalry to him, and also assigned him the fort Lianyunbao on the road through which the Tubo attack on Jingzhou must pass, and ordered him to lead his troops to garrison here to investigate the movement of Tubo soldiers and horses in Yuanzhou.

"General Guo Shi, do you have any objections to the appointment of this marshal?"

After Guo Ying finished reading the content on the paper, Duan Xiushi spoke again.

"When the last general left Beijing, he swore that he would not break Tubo and swear not to turn back, and the marshal used me to the border of Tangbo this time, which was exactly what I wanted." Guo Ying solemnly arched his hand and replied loudly.

"Okay, if you have ambition, that's it!" Duan Xiushi patted the table, stood up and called loudly, "Feng Heqing." ”

"The last general!" A burly general standing on the left stepped out, fists clenched in response.

"General Guo Shi was ordered to lead the position of envoy of Youyi, and now Ben Shuai will put him under your command and be dispatched by you."

"The last general obeys!"

Feng Heqing hugged his fists in response, this is something that has been decided before, and there is nothing to excuse.

And as Feng Heqing opened his mouth, Guo Ying officially became a member of the Jingyuan Army.
