Guo Ziyi nodded and said with a smile: "Young master is very cautious in doing things. The more important the matter, the more careful you must be. This is worthy of praise."
Guo Ziyi had already learned about what happened in Lingzhou from Guo Chongqing. Speaking of it, Guo Song was really a member of his clan. His father's name was on the genealogy of the Guo family in Lingzhou, but he himself refused to admit it.
Guo Ziyi also knew the cause and effect. He did not intend to force Guo Song, nor did he want to pursue the Guo family in Lingzhou, but he still felt a little regretful in his heart. The talents of the Guo family were withering, and except for his own sons and nephews, everyone else was mediocre.
It is not as profound as the famous family or the Guanlong nobles, and there are many talents.
It was so easy to find a young man with ability and potential, but his family did not recognize him, which made Guo Ziyi feel helpless.
"If I guessed correctly, the young master should have an emperor's gold medal!"
Guo Song acquiesced, and Guo Ziyi took out a gold medal from his arms and said with a smile: "Is it the same as it?"
Guo Song was stunned. Didn't there only be three gold medals? One for himself, one for Aunt Gongsun, and one for Yuan Zai. Why did Guo Ziyi also have one?
"This gold medal originally belonged to Yuan Zai."
Guo Ziyi said calmly: "The emperor took it back from Yuan Zai a month ago and gave it to me the day before yesterday."
"Why take it back from Yuan Zai?" Guo Song asked puzzledly.
Guo Ziyi smiled slightly, "I don't know the specific reason. To be honest, I also want to know what happened. If you find out, you might as well tell me."
Guo Song nodded, "If I know, I will definitely tell my seniors."
At this moment, Huangfu Jun galloped over on horseback, carrying two heads. He stepped forward and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, we didn't think carefully. These are the heads of Yu Lingwu and Yu Lingqing. Please
The old man has taken a look at it."
Guo Chongqing knew these two people. He stepped forward to identify them carefully and said to Guo Ziyi: "Yes, it's them!"
Guo Ziyi then took out the gold medal from her arms and said slowly: "The emperor gave me this!"
Huangfu Jun saluted solemnly, "I understand, please come into the camp."
Only then did Guo Song realize that the emperor's gold medal had this effect and could actually mobilize an army.
However, this must be consistent with Guo Ziyi's own prestige. If he takes out the gold medal, others will ignore him.
Everyone entered the military camp. It was very quiet in the military camp. The soldiers did not know that the Shence Army had mutinied. When they came to the Chinese army's tent, Dou Feiyun rushed out. Guo Ziyi's arrival made him sigh in relief.
Although he is a general, neither he nor Huangfu Jun has the qualifications to take charge of the overall situation. Only Yu Chaoen, who founded the Shence Army, can take charge of the overall situation. Of course, the emperor can also do it. In addition, only Guo Ziyi can take charge of the overall situation.
He is an old commander with high prestige among the people and the military.
Guo Ziyi immediately ordered: "It's time to beat the gathering drum!"
The drum sound in the military is very particular, and different times and different rhythms represent different meanings.
For example, the sound of trumpets and the sound of intensive drums signify an attack, and the intensive sound of drums in the camp is an order for the entire army to assemble.
The Gathering Drum is different. It is played five times in a row, paused, and then played five more times. This requires all generals above the brigade commander to gather in the commander's tent.
The rhythmic gathering drum continued to sound, and hundreds of middle and low-level generals came from all directions to the commander's tent. All the generals above the generals of the first and second battalions were arrested, and only the captain and brigade commander came.
Not long after, the big tent was densely packed with generals.
Guo Ziyi straightened her back and said in a majestic and deep voice, "I'm Guo Ziyi!"
As soon as these words came out, hundreds of middle and low-level generals in the big tent suddenly stood in awe, with a look of reverence on everyone's face.
Guo Song saw clearly from the side that he was really different from Du Lingqiu. The Qianniu Guards officers were more afraid of Du Lingqiu. In fact, they were afraid of the imperial power after Du Lingqiu's death, and they could only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
.
But Guo Ziyi is different. His words of "I, Guo Ziyi!" make people feel that the overall situation has been decided. The soldiers' eyes are filled with sincere respect. No wonder the emperor wants to move Guo Ziyi out.
There was silence in the big tent. Guo Ziyi glanced at everyone and said slowly: "I took over the command of the Shence Army under the order of the emperor. If you have different ideas, you can put them forward now. If you explain them clearly in person, I will patiently explain them. But if you play behind your back,
If you incite soldiers with any small actions, then don’t blame military law for being ruthless!”
No one spoke, Guo Ziyi said again: "I know many brothers want to ask, where has Yu Chaoen gone? I can tell everyone that Yu Chaoen attempted to rebel and was killed by the emperor, including Yu Chaoen's brothers, nephew,
All the fake ones were executed, and the next step was to liquidate the remaining members of his party. The Shence Army left Bashang and arrived at Wutingchuan without being mobilized by the Ministry of War and the Emperor. I don’t want to tell you, but everyone should know what happened? The person who should be liquidated must be
It will be settled, but I hope everyone in the big account is safe and has nothing to do with Yu Chaoen!"
After a pause, Guo Ziyi said again: "I am asking you for the third time. I am the commander-in-chief of the Shence Army. If there are any who do not want to follow me, if you bring it up now, I will help Ping be transferred to other armies, using Guo Ziyi's credibility as a guarantee.
.”
Guo Ziyi looked around at everyone, but no one brought it up. Guo Ziyi nodded, "In that case, I will give the order!"
He sat upright in the commander's seat, held down the commander's seal with his right hand and said: "Give me the order, the army will assemble immediately and withdraw the troops back to Ba Shang!"
"Obey!" Everyone bowed and saluted together.
The rumble of drums sounded, and one hundred thousand Shence troops began to gather quickly. At this time, Guo Song was about to leave.
Guo Ziyi accompanied Guo Song out of the camp and said to him sincerely: "I don't want to say that the birds are gone and the good bows are hidden, but after Yu Chaoen is eradicated, you will not have many opportunities to serve the emperor. You should think carefully about yourself
There are not many opportunities in life, and every opportunity that arises must be firmly grasped by oneself.”
"Does the old man have any good suggestions?" Guo Song asked humbly.
"There is an opportunity right now. Both the Qianniu Guards and the Shence Army are undergoing a purge. The emperor has given me three quotas for generals. Guo Chongqing will occupy one of them, and one of my grandsons-in-law will occupy one. I think the last quota will be occupied by me."
Give it to you, without any conditions, it just depends on whether you are willing or not?"
Guo Song was also a little tempted. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that I don't have military qualifications."
Guo Ziyi smiled slightly and said, "In my army, we don't care about seniority. We only look at military merit. Your merit is enough. The emperor wants to make you a marquis. As long as you are willing, I can guarantee you."
Guo Song nodded, "Let me think about it!"
"Of course you have to consider it. In addition, I suggest you return the gold medal to the emperor. Why don't I say it? You should understand in your heart!"
"Thank you, old Master, for reminding me. I will hand over my cards when I get back!"
Guo Song saluted and left in a hurry. He rode out of the military camp and ran for seven or eight miles in one breath. He immediately looked back on a hill and saw that the Shence Army had already risen and headed east in a mighty manner.
Guo Song clamped the horse between his legs and accelerated the horse to run towards the hunting camp.
Li Yu almost didn't sleep all night. Although 90% of the overall situation was determined, without the final news from Shence Army, Li Yu still couldn't sleep.
Next, there will be a purge of Yu Chaoen's faction. Although all ministers advised him not to expand, at least Yu Chaoen's direct faction must be completely cleaned up.
In fact, what worries Li Yu is Prince Zheng Li Miao. There is evidence that Prince Zheng Li Miao participated in Yu Chaoen's coup plan to overthrow his father. Li Miao actually also participated, which made Li Yu both
Angry and sad.
At this time, a guard reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Guo Song wants to see you!"
Li Yu quickly said: "Let him in quickly!"
Not long after, Guo Song hurriedly walked in, bowed and saluted, "See your Majesty!"
Li Yu quickly asked: "How is the situation in the Shence Army?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Guo Laolinggong has completely controlled the Shence Army, and the Shence Army has withdrawn eastward to Bashang."
"Is everything going well?"
"Very smooth!"
Guo Song paused and said, "The key is that General Dou and General Huangfu killed the Yu brothers and controlled Yu Chaoen's confidants. Coupled with Guo Laolinggong's prestige in the military, things will go so smoothly."
Li Yu breathed a long sigh of relief and lay down on the couch with his whole body relaxed. He smiled and said: "I will definitely reward you for the great contribution you have made to me this time."
Guo Song put the gold medal on the table and said, "I think the mission of this gold medal is over."
Li Yu nodded, "It's really not necessary. Have you considered your future?"
Guo Song pondered for a while and said: "Wei Chen has been thinking about it for a long time. After the spring starts tomorrow, Wei Chen hopes to go to Qiuci as His Majesty's envoy to express condolences to the Tang army soldiers who are guarding Anxi."
Li Yu was startled, "Do you want to go to Anxi?"
Guo Song nodded slowly, "I have decided to humble myself!"
Li Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Since you have made up your mind, I can agree to it, but as my envoy, you need to have a practical position in the court or the army."
"Guo Laolinggong wants to recommend Wei Chen to be the Shence Army General. Wei Chen is also considering that if he goes to the Western Regions as an envoy, it is best to train an elite army. The number does not need to be large, but it must be very elite.
"
Li Yu took two steps with his hands behind his back, then turned back to Guo Song and said: "Since you have this ambition, I will grant you the title of General Dingyuan of the fifth rank, pacification envoy to the Western Regions, and concurrently serve as the governor of the Anxi Protectorate. You will be allowed to form a
An army of three hundred men."
Li Yu handed the gold medal to Guo Song again, "Take this gold medal. With it, you can mobilize the troops from Longyou and Hexi to support you in an emergency."
Guo Song was moved in his heart and bowed: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
