So Guo Zhao stood aside and got to know Zhou Man unilaterally. He happened to see Zhou Man take a saw and cut off a soldier's leg. There was a lot of blood, not only on her hands and body, but also on her face.
Blood.
The soldier whose leg was sawed off wailed, and a boy not much older than her squatted aside and pressed his thigh hard, and the blood slowed down at a speed visible to the eyes.
Guo Zhao was stunned, "He, can he still survive?"
It was also the first time for General Meng to see such a thing, and he was also shocked. Like Guo Zhao, he trembled when he saw Zhou Man and Bai Shan, who were busy with their heads down, and thought to themselves: Cruel people.
One thought, even though she is a little lady, she looks more ruthless than their men.
Another thought, don't they all say that Confucian scholars are quiet? Is this really quiet?
From then on, the two of them did not dare to look down on each other in their future interactions.
Man Bao and others did not formally meet Guo Zhao until dawn the next day.
Mr. Zhuang and Zhiren both helped treat the wounded soldiers. They were old and went to bed early in the morning and did not get up at this time.
The young people were full of energy. Although they still wanted to sleep, there were no tents here, and the carriages were given to the seriously injured soldiers. They lay down on the sand with their clothes to sleep. As soon as the sky broke, their eyes felt the brightness, and they couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard they slept.
, can only get up.
So a group of young people stood on the sand, saluted each other, and introduced themselves. The first person to come was naturally Guo Zhao himself. When he introduced that he was from the Guo family in Xuzhou, Liu Huan couldn't help but look up at each other.
Then came Man Bao, who introduced her name and official position, while Bai Shan introduced his most commonly used identity - a student of Chongwen Hall.
Bai Erlang followed closely behind, using only this identity. Yin Youbian also adopted this identity, and Liu Huan followed closely without saying a single unnecessary word.
To sum up, we are all students of Chongwen Hall.
General Meng felt that they could not do this, so he pointed at Yin or introduced him: "This man is the only son of Commander Yin."
As he spoke, he winked at Guo Zhao.
Guo Zhao:......
Although it hurt his eyes, he still understood that there was only one Yin commander in the whole dynasty. He couldn't help but look at Yin You. He was really good-looking, but his stature was not enough at first glance. His face looked pale and weak, and he was very sick.
I don't know whether to be envious or regretful.
General Meng then introduced Liu Huan with a smile, "This is the grandson of Liu Shangshu."
Guo Zhao smiled and saluted. After the salute, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.
It was at this moment that General Meng introduced Bai Erlang again as to whether he was the emperor's future son-in-law or his direct son-in-law, and then he remembered it.
He turned back to look at Liu Huan, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Liu Shangshu, is he the Minister of Hubu?"
Seeing that he seemed to have remembered, Liu Huan smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes."
He paused and then saluted, "I've met my cousin."
Bai Shan and Man Bao were shocked, why did they suddenly recognize their relatives?
General Meng was also surprised and looked at Guo Zhao as if he were a betrayed man.
Guo Zhao was heartbroken by this look and said: "Liu Shangshu's wife is our Guo family's aunt."
Liu Huanye and Bai Shan explained: "My grandmother comes from the Guo family in Xuzhou."
Then why haven't I heard you talk about it?
When they dispersed, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang hugged him from left to right and sighed, "Our study tour is other people's family visit."
Another one said: "And he hasn't said anything yet."
Man Bao and Yin or Zhou Liru on the side nodded with deep understanding.
Liu Huan quickly explained, "If he hadn't mentioned that he was from Xuzhou, I would have almost forgotten this family relationship."
Bai Shan was confused, "It sounds like the relationship isn't very far apart, so why did you forget it?"
Liu Huan tilted his head and thought. He didn't expect that he basically didn't care about family affairs. He only needed to be responsible for eating, drinking, having fun and not getting into trouble. How did he know?
"Anyway, there are festivals coming from Xuzhou and other places every year, but not once from Anxi."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Anxi was only sealed two years ago. Gaochang used to belong to other people's families. General Guo should also be serving elsewhere, right?"
"Anyway, I don't receive as many gifts as Guo Xiao every year."
Guo Xiao was the Protector of Anxi and Guo Zhao's father.
Liu Huan didn't understand, but Guo Zhao did. He told General Meng, "My father has a very bad relationship with Liu Shangshu. Well, he also has a bad relationship with Lord Liu of Suzhou."
General Meng didn't understand, "Why, it's just a foreigner, no matter how polite you are, you still need it, right? And there are conflicts of interests between different clans."
Guo Zhao was a bit unable to explain, and after a while he said: "The son never talks about his father's fault. Anyway, Liu Shangshu doesn't like my father's style. He had impeached my father in the court before. When he attacked Gaochang, your majesty originally wanted my father to fight with the marquis.
However, due to Liu Shangshu's impeachment, my father became Hou Ji's deputy. After the capture of Gaochang, His Majesty changed the name of Gaochang to Xizhou and asked my father to temporarily take charge of the military and administrative affairs of Xizhou. It was only two years ago that the capital of Anxi was officially established.
Protector of the Mansion, my father became the Protector of the House."
Otherwise, if his father returns to the capital and Hou Ji rebels, he may also be on the bench.
General Meng thought about it for a moment, and then whispered: "So the conflict between the two of them is still the uncle's fault?"
Guo Zhao:......
He remained silent and didn't speak.
General Meng understood, and patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, asking: "What should I do? Do you want to take him home? After all, they are relatives, and their grandmother is still your great-aunt. If there is nothing
He didn’t say that, and it was your Guo family who didn’t take the news back to the capital, right?”
Guo Zhao said very bachelorly: "I don't have much, I don't know if Liu Huan is willing."
"What's the use of whether he is willing or not? The main thing is, will General Guo be willing?"
Guo Zhao's face looked a little weird. He was silent for a while and then said: "I'm afraid my father would be very willing if he knew his identity, right?"
Not only will they be willing, but they will also make a big show of it.
That's why Guo Zhao hesitated, should he mention Liu Huan's identity?
Fortunately, General Guo didn't let Guo Zhao struggle for too long, because he already knew.
This battle was fought beautifully, not only killing a Tibetan general, but also capturing many soldiers. Except for those who fled, both the number of prisoners and the number of casualties on the other side were very impressive.
So as soon as the war was over, Guo Zhao sent people back to report, and told his father that they not only supported the Shazhou Army this time, but also rescued the envoys sent by the imperial court to the Western Regions.
As soon as he heard that it was an envoy sent by the imperial court, General Guo immediately inquired carefully.
The soldiers sent to respond didn't know much, but when they left, they asked for detailed information about the envoys in order to report the military situation in more detail.
Therefore, everyone’s name and origin are clearly stated.
