Confidence comes from strength. Only with strength can one have confidence and make the emperor give in to three points.

Gu Qing didn't mind who would be the emperor, or even the foolish and suspicious Li Longji continued to be the emperor. For him, no matter who sits in the position of the emperor, he would not hesitate at all about his subjects.

Gu Qing believes in what can be truly in his own hands. The so-called imperial power is actually the power that arises after reaching the extreme. When strength is shaken, what is the imperial power in the eyes of others?

After thousands of years of the world, dynasties have changed. So many great rebellions of ministers against kings have nothing to do with loyalty and righteousness. They are just natural laws of survival of the fittest.

Duan Wuji sat in a corner of the handsome tent, thinking about Gu Qing's words just now.

Gu Qing's words are beyond the reach of books, and there is only benevolence, righteousness and morality in books. Gu Qing tore open up benevolence, righteousness and morality, revealing the ugly and realistic flesh and blood inside.

Gu Qing looked at him and did not disturb his thinking. As for Duan Wuji, Gu Qing actually regarded him as a student who was eager to learn. This student had a desire to learn, but his spirituality was a little lacking. After getting along for a long time, Gu Qing felt that Duan Wuji was not as good as Feng Yu in terms of talent, but his persistence in learning was stronger than Feng Yu.

After a long time of silence in the handsome tent, Gu Qing whispered: "Wuji, you can try to do something after being by my side for so long. Practice is always more important than knowledge in books."

Duan Wuji came back to his senses and said, "Mr. Please give me instructions."

"After the Anxi Army entered the pass, the troops were consumed a lot. I have ordered Liu Hongbo to recruit soldiers in Luoyang City. Not only to add Modao Camp, but also to expand the Anxi Army's troops by at least 20,000. You should assist Liu Hongbo in recruiting soldiers."

Duan Wuji lowered his head and said, "Yes, Marquis, the student stopped and went to General Liu's camp."

Gu Qing looked at his face and said, "Don't look at these generals of the Anxi Army, they are vulgar and rude on weekdays, but they all have their own abilities. I will replace the inappropriate people. Since they have always been in the position, it means they are competent. You recruit soldiers with Liu Hongbo and ask him for more knowledge, marching and setting up formations, and placing troops to fight. Each general has his own unique experience. If you learn some skills from these generals and integrate their abilities into your own abilities, you will be considered a division."

"Yes, the students will serve the generals with etiquette."

Chang'an City, Xingqing Palace.

The fast horse rushed into Beijing, and the knight immediately raised the Red Peel Army newspaper, and after entering the Yanping Gate, he shouted excitedly.

"A great victory in Hangu Pass! The Anxi Army annihilated more than 20,000 rebels! Mr. Gu is mighty!"

When the Pegasus entered the city, the people in the city cheered and cheered when they heard the knight's victory. The anxious people's hearts, stimulated by this good news, finally recovered a little of the hustle and bustle of the past.

He galloped all the way from the city gate to the palace gate. The knights dismounted in front of the palace gate, knelt on one knee and raised the Red Leather Army newspaper with both hands, and shouted: "The Anxi Army's great victory in Hangu Pass, killing more than 20,000 enemies. Gu Qingqing, the governor of Anxi, Investigation County, Hou Gu Qing, Investigation of the Heavenly Recruitment and congratulations to the Emperor of Tang!"

A eunuch hurried out of the palace gate, solemnly general picked up his hands, then turned around and ran towards the palace quickly.

The crowd was in full swing in Chang'an City, and Xingqing Palace was also full of joy. Even the soldiers guarding the palace gate smiled happily. After the eunuchs came into the palace with military reports, the soldiers stepped forward to help the knights who had reported the victory and politely invited them to the side. Some soldiers even secretly took out a bottle of wine and handed it to the knights. The knight was not polite and gulped a few mouthfuls.

Then the soldiers surrounded the knights and asked about the war on the front line and the situation of Anxi Army annihilated the enemy. The knights answered honestly. When they heard that Mr. Gu and the generals set up an ambush outside Hangu Pass, the three thousand Modao camps fought to the death. Later, the ambush arrived and blocked the rebels' retreat. They wiped out 20,000 enemies in one battle.

The soldiers at the arch guards were fascinated by the hearing. When Mr. Gu tried to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely, he actually offered a high price of 50 cents for each rebel's head. The soldiers became more and more envious, and they wanted to throw away the weapons in their hands and run out of the city to surrender to the Anxi Army.

There are no music and dancing in the Huae Building of Xingqing Palace. Since the An Lushan rebellion, Li Longji consciously stopped singing and dancing in the palace and returned to the diligent emperor who worked hard to govern the past.

When the eunuch hurried into the hall with the military newspaper, Li Longji was sitting alone in the hall looking at a mountain and water screen.

"Your Majesty, good news! Anxi Army is victorious, Hangu Pass! Anxi Jiedushi Gu Qing set up an ambush outside Hangu Pass and annihilated more than 20,000 rebels, and this battle is a great victory."

Li Longji was stunned. Gao Lishi behind him rushed to the eunuch, snatched the military newspaper from his hand and hurriedly held it in front of Li Longji.

Li Longji hurriedly opened the military newspaper and saw the detailed word-by-word message above. He was stunned for a long time and laughed out loud.

"Gu Qing, it's really my Huo Qubing! So proud, haha, okay! OK!"

Gao Lishi said tactfully, "I congratulate Your Majesty, the country has a good general, and I will not let you down."

Li Longji's mood suddenly became as bright as spring. He stroked his beard and laughed: "This Gu Qing made me hate him when he caused trouble, but he was much more successful than those waste generals when he was striving for him. He made such a great contribution to me without saying a word. I appointed him as the governor of Anxi. It seems that it was the wisest decision in my life, haha!"

Gao Lishi laughed intriguingly and said, "Your Majesty, the victory of Hangu Pass is a great joy. Why don't you enjoy the banquet with Concubine Taizhen tonight and congratulate him?"

Li Longji nodded repeatedly: "Okay, please summon Taizhen Concubine, by the way, my wife has always said she is ill recently and refused to see me several times. Has her health improved today?"

Gao Lishi smiled bitterly and said, "Concubine Taizhen has been eating poorly recently, and people have lost weight. If she knew that her fellow villagers made great contributions to Your Majesty, she would be happier today. Your Majesty can also take the opportunity to be more friendly with Concubine Taizhen to enhance the relationship between husband and wife."

Li Longji nodded: "Send someone to tell Taizhen Concubine this good news and make her happy."

Gao Lishi should be respectfully so.

When Xingqing Palace was in full swing, another fast horse rushed into the city outside Chang'an City.

The knights were still holding a red-feathered army newspaper, and after entering the city from Yanping Gate, they held up the army newspaper and shouted: "Good news! The Anxi army recovered the eastern capital Luoyang! Mr. Gu is mighty! The Tang Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"

The people on the streets in Chang'an City were stunned. They just went over to say that it was a victory in Hangu Pass. In less than an hour, there was another good news. It was the Anxi Army again. This time it was... to recover Luoyang?

Wu Hou, a businessman who was walking on the street, was shocked and frozen as if he was fixed. After a brief silence, the street suddenly made a loud cheer.

"The Anxi Army is amazing! Mr. Gu is amazing!"

"Why worry about rebellion when you have this good general in the country!"

The poor literati wandering around the wine shop inn were even more excited and kept urging the shopkeeper to prepare paper and pen. As Li Mi predicted, they wanted to write poems for the great victory of the Anxi Army and congratulate Mr. Gu and the Anxi Army. The famous poems were probably "When the Official Army Recovered Henan".

If the good news of the Hangu Pass just now only excited and encouraged the Chang'an subjects, the Anxi Army's recovery of Luoyang this time would be good news.

In the eyes of civilians who do not understand military affairs, since ancient times, cities and land have been regarded as "country", and the king's army fought on the battlefield. The standard for the people in the market to judge the victory or defeat of a war is not to annihilate many enemies, but how many cities you have broken through and how much land you have been included in our own territory. Land and cities are real achievements, and annihilation of enemies can only be considered a small victory.

The Anxi Army's recovery of Luoyang was a real victory in the eyes of the subjects. Because the city was recovered, the vast land of Henan belonged to the Tang Dynasty again, which was called a victory.

The knights who received the victory roared and ran wildly. Wherever the people passed, it seemed like igniting tinder. As the knights ran wildly, the streets went from noisy to silence to jubilation. Since the An Lushan rebellion, the subjects of Chang'an City have never been as excited and happy as they are today.

In Xingqing Palace.

The excitement of the victory in Hangu Pass had not subsided, and Li Longji quickly received the second memorial to report the victory.

"Recover Luoyang? Gu Qing really recovered Luoyang?" Li Longji sat in the hall in disbelief, with a look of shock on his face, and his eyes emitted an anxious and uneasy light, as if he was afraid that this was a beautiful dream.

The eunuch who reported the news was also very excited and said quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty. The soldiers who reported the victory are still waiting outside the palace gate."

Li Longji waved tremblingly: "Hurry, let me show you the good news."

Gao Lishi quickly handed the victory to Li Longji.

Li Longji couldn't wait to open it, and finished reading the words on the memorial word by word. He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh hard: "Ha! Haha! Okay, what a Gu Qing, the national hero is unparalleled!"

Gao Lishi saluted with a smile: "I congratulate Your Majesty, the king's army regained Luoyang, and the end of the thief is not far away!"

Li Longji was so happy that he didn't know how to vent his anger. He stood up and twisted his hands and feet a few times, laughing and said, "Call the court officials, hold a banquet in Xingqing Palace tonight, and the King's Army will regain Luoyang!"

Gao Lishi was also very happy. Gu Qing was ordered to lead the Anxi army into the pass to suppress the rebellion. Gao Lishi had a conversation with him outside the palace gate. Unexpectedly, Gu Qing really lived up to expectations and used victory after victory to repay the emperor's kindness of his acquaintance.

This young boy is about to become successful soon, and the rebels are in a panic situation. In the whole Tang Dynasty, he can turn the tables against the wind and win three times in succession. Compared with the other armies to suppress the rebellion, the performance of the Anxi Army is very amazing.

Gao Lishi didn't mind giving a favor to the people who were about to reach the fore, so he bowed his back and said carefully: "Your Majesty, the Anxi Army was ordered to enter the pass to quell the rebellion, and he won three times in a row. Why don't your Majesty reward Gu Qing and the Anxi Army so that they can continue to serve the emperor, fight bravely to eliminate the rebellion?"

Li Longji was stunned, and hesitated for a long time. After measuring the pros and cons, he finally focused on the key points: "The credit for regaining Luoyang is too great. If you give me a small favor, it will probably cause the hearts of the soldiers of the Anxi Army. I must give you a lot of rewards."

The gifts were delivered with the good news, and a thick stack of lists of soldiers who were killed in battle.

Li Longji flipped a few pages and said slowly: "Transfer my will, and the pensions of those who died in the Anxi Army will be doubled to show kindness. Everyone in the list of merits is suitable. The Hangu Guan Modao Camp, the best-in-class, can be awarded the soldiers with millions of yuan. Modao general Li Siye was promoted to the General of the Right Guard, and the Purple Gold Fish Bag, and the First Merit of Luoyang Shentian, Wang Gui, and the Purple Gold Fish Bag, and the Reward of the First Merit of Luoyang Shentian, Wang Gui, and the Purple Gold Fish Bag, and the Reward of 10,000 gold. Shen Tian was promoted to the General of the Right Guard, and Wang Gui became the Chief Commander of the Commander..."

Gao Lishi carefully tentatively: "Course coach Gu Qing...has he promoted the reward?"

Li Longji hesitated again, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Jin Gu Qing is... the Duke of Qingcheng County."
