Autumn in Lingzhou is also a very beautiful season. There are endless yellow wheat waves everywhere, full of the joy of harvest. The city is filled with the fragrance of melons and fruits. The huge melons are like white jade, and the crystal grapes are like bunches of colorful agates.
Duan Xiushi, the governor of Shuofang Jiedu, has been very busy these days. Since the imperial court sent 20,000 troops to Shuofang Jiedu, the number of troops in Shuofang Jiedou has suddenly reached 26,000, an increase of more than three times. Duan Xiushi is very busy.
My feet didn't touch the ground, and I didn't even have time to take a breath.
Some time ago, he received a briefing from the Ministry of War that Guo Song was coming to Shuofang to serve as deputy envoy to Jiedu and accept the military envoys of the three towns in the city. This surprised Duan Xiushi. In just over two years, Guo Song had become a military envoy.
A young Taoist priest suddenly became a fourth-rank Mingwei general and was granted the title of Lord of Lingwu County. Who else would be in such a situation except the royal family and relatives?
Of course, Duan Xiushi also knew that it was definitely not luck that Guo Song was able to reach this point. He must have made many great achievements that were unknown to outsiders in order to win the favor of the emperor.
Especially when Guo Song led 300 warriors to Anxi and Beiting, it was like bravely entering the dragon's pond and tiger's den. It was not a task that ordinary people could complete. Courage alone was not enough. It also required enough courage and strategy, as well as strong enough martial arts.
mission accomplished.
Duan Xiushi was deeply gratified that such a courageous young man appeared in the Tang Dynasty. He was also looking forward to Guo Song's arrival these days.
At this time, Liang Yundao, a member of the army who recorded affairs, knocked on the door of the official room, "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
"Liang Canjun is here at the right time, please sit down and talk!"
Duan Xiushi asked Liang Daoyun to sit down. At this time, Chang Shi Li Hui also came. The three of them sat down at the small table. Duan Xiushi smiled and said: "I think both of you know that Guo Song is coming to Shuofang to serve, especially when Liang joins the army and your nephew is coming back."
Yes, you should be very happy."
Liang Daoyun deliberately said with a straight face: "I'm not happy. I have to beat him up, so I got a school captain. I'm very disappointed."
Li Hui shook her head and said with a smile: "Liang is content with joining the army! Liang Wu has been in the army for less than three years! He has already been promoted to captain, and Lin Sen who is with him is still a brigade commander."
Duan Xiushi chuckled, "Li Changshi really thinks he is dissatisfied? Liang Canjun's heart has long been filled with laughter."
The three of them laughed together, and Duan Xiushi added: "To be honest, your son is with the right person. Guo Song's future is limitless, and his future is also bright."
Liang Yundao nodded, "This is his choice!"
At this time, Duan Xiushi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Let's talk about business. Although Guo Song appointed Shuofang as deputy envoy, he will not interfere with the affairs of Shuofang's army. His responsibility is still to guard the three surrendered cities. I have a consideration recently.
, can you take this opportunity to bring Fengzhou together and let Guo Song take charge of Jiuyuan County in Fengzhou, so that the Zhongshoujiang City and Dongshoujiang City can also be taken into account."
Li Hui frowned slightly, "But Guo Song's official position is the military envoy of the three towns, which should not include Fengzhou. Would it be against the rules to give Fengzhou to him?"
"Of course I know!"
Duan Xiushi smiled slightly and said: "Guo Song happened to be the deputy envoy of Shuofang at the same time. In the name of deputy envoy of Jiedu, he was asked to take charge of Fengzhou. I think there is no violation. What do you two think?"
Liang Yundao pondered for a while and said: "I think it's okay, so I'll set up the official office of Deputy Envoy Jiedu in Jiuyuan County. It's justifiable for him to be in charge of Jiuyuan County."
Seeing that both of them agreed, Li Hui said: "Liang Canjun's plan is very good, and I agree too!"
Duan Xiushi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Then let's decide this for now. I will discuss it with Guo Song later and try to convince him."
At this moment, a soldier ran to the door and reported: "Qi Envoy, there is news from outside the city, Jiedu Deputy Envoy Guo Shijun has arrived!"
Duan Xiushi stood up and smiled at the two of them: "Let's go together to welcome this young hero from Lingzhou!"
........
After two years, Guo Song once again came to this important town in the northwest with which he had countless relationships. His predecessor was born here, his own household registration is settled here, and the Guo family who has some blood relationship with him also lives here.
Here, although his actual location is more than a thousand miles to the north, he will inevitably have more intersections with Lingwu County in the coming years.
A group of people walked on the wide official road. The wheat on both sides had turned yellow. The breeze blew and the waves of wheat undulated, just like the waves of early yellow, which was particularly spectacular.
Guo Song pointed at the wheat field with his riding crop and smiled at everyone: "In half a month at most, the wheat will be harvested. I wonder if the people from Xue Yantuo will come to snatch the wheat?"
Li Ji smiled and said: "The people of Xueyantuo suffered heavy losses due to a fire two years ago. They did not come to Lingzhou last year and this year."
Guo Song shook his head, "It has nothing to do with the fire. It should be that the Sijie tribe annexed the Abusi tribe and posed a threat to the Xue Yantuo people. Furthermore, Shuofang's army expanded to 26,000 men and no longer had to defend the city.
, these two reasons make Xue Yan people dare not act rashly."
Liang Wu immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "He is still a clever soldier and horseman, and he sees the problem thoroughly, which makes the humble officer admire him with admiration!"
Guo Song glanced at him and said: "Even if you flatter me, I won't let you dominate one side. You don't have enough qualifications to convince others."
Liang Wu's flattery slapped the horse's hooves, and he muttered in a low voice: "Some people's qualifications are not as good as mine. Aren't they just as superior?"
Everyone smiled, Xiaoyu Niang covered her mouth and snickered. Guo Song didn't bother to pay attention to Liang Wu, pointed to the front and said: "There seems to be someone coming from the front!"
I saw yellow dust billowing ahead, and a team was speeding towards this direction.
Everyone reined up their horses, and after a while the team rushed to Guo Song. The yellow dust dispersed. The leader was Duan Xiushi, followed by the chief historian Li Hui, and Liang Wu's uncle Liang Yundao. Duan Xiushi laughed and said: "We have not seen each other for two years.
You are impressive, congratulations on your promotion."
Guo Song stepped forward, cupped his hands and smiled: "Guo Song is lucky to be able to obey orders under the commander's tent again!"
"You are too humble. Guo Shijun is now the hero of Shuofang Army and Lingzhou. Everyone is looking forward to your arrival."
Guo Song was startled. He did not understand the meaning of this sentence. Liang Yundao smiled slightly and said: "You won the fifth place in the polo competition for the Shuofang Army the year before last and created the history of the Shuofang Polo Team. I believe everyone will knock it.
Beating gongs and drums to welcome you."
Guo Song was ashamed, and he waved his hands quickly, "It's best to avoid this kind of thing. I'm really not used to coming to Lingzhou in this way."
Duan Xiushi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo! Everyone is guarding the wheat fields outside the city now. Lingwu County is an empty city. If you hear the sound of gongs and drums, it must be to drive away the birds, not to welcome them along the way.
Guo Shijun."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious. Li Ji and Liang Wu came forward to greet everyone. Even the soldiers were infected. Everyone followed Guo Song to the county town as if they were going home.
After entering the city, Li Ji took the soldiers to the military camp to rest. It was inconvenient for Xiaoyu Niang to go to the military camp, so Liang Wu took her to Liangjiabao and handed her over to his sister Liang Ling'er.
Liang Ling'er wanted to bring a group of wealthy children from Lingzhou to greet Guo Song, but she was angrily scolded by her father Liang Yundao and grounded for three days. She was unhappy at home. When Xiaoyu Niang arrived, the two had a common topic, and soon
They soon became best friends who talked about everything, and even Liang Wu was dumbfounded by the rapid friendship between them.
The lobby of Shuofang Jiedu Mansion was packed with people. All the important officials and generals arrived. Most of them were old friends. Guo Song greeted them one by one.
Everyone sat down one after another. Duan Xiushi sat at the top and asked Guo Song with a smile: "Guo Shijun leads the troops and horses of the three towns. Have you ever considered where to place the headquarters?"
Guo Song leaned forward and said, "I would like to hear the opinions of Duan Shijun and everyone else."
Duan Xiushi smiled slightly and said: "This issue of the administration should be decided by Guo Shijun himself, but because it involves Shuofang's logistics supply, if the administration is placed in the three surrendered cities, the distance will be a bit far, and if the enemy comes,
It would be inconvenient for Shuofang's army to support the attack, so we suggest that Guo Shijun place his headquarters in Fengzhou."
"Toyosu?"
This suggestion was a bit beyond Guo Song's expectation. Liang Yundao quickly explained: "The three surrendered cities plus Lingzhou can take care of all aspects. Only Fengzhou is not far from the surrendered city in the west and can be reached in the middle and east."
The city of Xishoujiang is not far away, and more importantly, Lingzhou can transport logistics materials through waterways. If the government is placed in Xishoujiang City, it will indeed consume more manpower and animal power."
Guo Song shook his head and said with a smile: "You have misunderstood me. I am the military envoy of the three towns and do not have jurisdiction over Fengzhou. Can I put my seat in Fengzhou?"
Li Hui smiled slightly and said: "Guo Shijun is stationed in Fengzhou as the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, so there is no problem at all."
It seemed that everyone had reached a consensus, and Guo Song also realized that Fengzhou was indeed the best choice. After thinking about it, he nodded happily and said: "Since everyone thinks so, I can accept it, so let's make this decision! Governance Office
Put it in Jiuyuan County."
Witnessed by everyone, Duan Xiushi held a brief ceremony, and Guo Song officially assumed the post of deputy envoy of Shuofang Festival. At this time, Li Hui smiled at Guo Song and said: "It's almost time. We have set up a few banquets at Lingzhou Restaurant to honor Guo Song.
