Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh old relationship and new continuation
It was expected by Guo Song that Zhu Si would take the opportunity to attack, so before leaving, Guo Song specifically told Pan Liao that he could accept all Zhu Si's conditions.
"What harsh conditions did he put forward?" Guo Song asked with a faint smile.
Pan Liao sighed and said, "He wants 50,000 war horses, 200,000 sheepskins and half of the wheat harvest."
"Hmph! He is so shameless?"
"I had no choice but to give them 200,000 sheepskins, half of the war horses, and the other half along with the wheat at the end of the year."
"Does he believe we will give it to him?" Guo Song asked strangely.
"Envoy, we all negotiated with Zhu Si in your name. Even the letters were imitated in your handwriting. With the official seal of the Hexi Jiedushi, Zhu Si did not know that the envoy had already gone on an expedition to the Western Regions."
Guo Song burst into laughter, "Zhu Si actually doesn't know that I'm going to the Western Regions?"
"This is the credit of General Neiwei Wang."
Guo Song nodded. He knew that the internal guards had taken control of Zhu Si's intelligence point in Zhangye. The Hongji Restaurant in Zhangye City, including the shopkeeper and three waiters, had been instigated by the internal guards to rebel, becoming a de facto double
Face to face spies, the information they handed over to Zhu Si was all arranged by the internal guards.
Guo Song saw that Pan Liao was worried, so he comforted him and said: "Since I have come back, leave the matter of dealing with Zhu Si to me. Chang Shi will just pay attention to the refugee camp."
Pan Liao nodded, "I have finally been relieved of a big burden. I am very skilled in dealing with refugee camps, but it is very difficult to deal with Zhu Si. It is difficult to grasp the balance point in the middle."
Guo Song comforted him with a few words, then left the refugee camp with his soldiers and returned to Zhangye City.
There was naturally a lot of excitement when he returned to the mansion. Needless to say, Guo Song was also really tired. He fell asleep when he returned to the mansion and did not wake up until the next morning.
He opened his eyes and only heard the low voices in the outer room.
"Er Niang, I want to find daddy."
"Good boy, Xiaowei. Daddy has worked hard all the way and is very tired. He is still resting! Let's let him sleep a little longer, okay?"
"Okay! Er Niang, when will the little brother come out?"
"There are still more than ten days!"
Guo Song sat up and smiled slightly: "Come in, everyone! I'm awake."
Just hearing a cheer outside, my daughter Guo Weiwei rushed in like a little monkey and climbed on top of her father.
"The weather is too hot, Xiaowei, don't hang on daddy's neck."
"No! I'm going to climb the mountain." Xiaowei climbed on her father's back.
At this time, Dugu Youlan walked in with a big belly and a bowl of sour plum soup.
Guo Song was startled and quickly reached out to support her, "Give me the bowl, please slow down!"
He helped Dugu Youlan sit down, then took his daughter off his back, and said helplessly: "The little guy is so naughty, you should go to school."
"I went to school! Mom taught me a lot of words."
Dugu Youlan rolled her eyes and said, "I also taught you a lot, okay? Why don't you praise me?"
Guo Weiwei stuck out her tongue and said a little embarrassedly: "My second mother has taught me a lot."
Dugu Youlan smiled and said: "The little guy is very smart. He can learn it as soon as he is taught it. Now he knows thousands of words."
"Oh? Then daddy will give you a test."
Guo Song wrote a word on his daughter's little palm and asked with a smile: "What is this word?"
"This is the word "Wei", which is my name."
Guo Weiwei guessed correctly. She jumped up and down with joy. She was immediately interested. She shook her father's arm and said, "Daddy, write another one!"
"Then I'll write another one."
Guo Song wrote another word on her little palm, "What is it?"
Guo Weiwei was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, she asked: "Is it the Chinese character Tang?"
Guo Song tapped her little nose and said with a smile: "You are really smart. Daddy will give you a sparkle as a reward tonight."
"Dad, write another one!"
"Daddy has something else to do, so I'll play with you tonight."
"Xiaowei, daddy has something else to do. My second mother is taking you to paint. You haven't finished yesterday's painting yet!"
She struggled to stand up, and Guo Song quickly helped her up and said, "Madam, you should rest more and stop running around."
Dugu Youlan smiled sweetly and said: "The doctor told me to walk more, it will be good for the child."
She led Guo Weiwei to her study.
Guo Song came to the living room and saw his wife Xue Tao taking medicine. Xue Tao had been feeling sick for the past two days. She was afraid that it would be passed on to her children and Dugu Youlan, so she isolated herself.
"Is it better?" Guo Song walked in and asked with a smile.
"This medicine is too bitter, husband, I want you to feed me." Xue Tao said coquettishly.
"My wife has orders, and you should obey them!"
Guo Song took the medicine bowl with a smile and fed his wife the medicine spoonful by spoonful. Although the medicine was very bitter, Xue Tao felt sweet in his heart.
"After drinking this bowl of medicine, I feel I'm almost done. I've been sick for a few days and my house is in a mess."
Guo Song said with a smile: "Just rest in peace and recuperate. If you have anything to ask Aqiu to do, there is also the housekeeper!"
"I understand, husband, go and do your work! I will take care of myself."
Guo Song called Aqiu over again, gave her a few words, and then went to the government office.
.........
Today happened to be a holiday, and the official office of the Jiedu Envoy was relatively deserted. Guo Song simply turned around and headed outside the military camp. As soon as he reached the city gate, he accidentally discovered that Liang Wu and a female warrior were galloping on horseback on the official road outside the city.
He came, followed by more than a dozen followers and many prey.
Guo Song quickly stepped aside. After a moment, Liang Wu and the female warrior rushed into the city with their entourage. They did not see Guo Song. They talked and laughed as they headed east of the city. Guo Song did not see the female warrior's face clearly, but her back
But it looked familiar. He thought for a moment and suddenly realized, isn't this Duan Xiushi's youngest daughter Duan Sanniang?
When did she come to Hexi? Did the two of them really get together?
Guo Song was full of curiosity. He urged his horse to the camp. Before leaving, Guo Song asked Liang Wu, Ma Weijiang, and Zhang Tuo to take turns to be on duty. This month, the person on duty was the military commander Ma Weijiang. Ma Weijiang had been on duty all the time.
Responsible for guarding Dadou Bago, now that Tubo has temporarily calmed down, Ma Weijiang transferred back to the camp.
When he heard that the envoy had arrived, Ma Weijiang hurried to the Chinese army's tent to meet him. He walked into the tent, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I'm sorry to see you, envoy!"
"General Ma, please rise!"
Guo Song asked Ma Weijiang to stand up and asked with a smile: "Liang Wu has returned to Lingzhou?"
Ma Weijiang nodded, "His father was seriously ill last month and he went back."
"How is his father doing?"
"It seems that the condition is gradually improving again."
Guo Song pondered for a moment and asked: "Is Liang Wu getting married?"
"How do you know?"
"I was at the city gate just now and saw him returning from hunting, accompanied by Duan Shijun's daughter Duan Sanniang."
Ma Weijiang smiled and said: "The two of them came back from Lingzhou together. To be precise, they got married in Lingzhou, but we also invited everyone to a wedding banquet."
"So it turns out that the two of them are really destined."
Just as he was talking, he saw Liang Wu hurried in, bowed and saluted: "I don't know how you made me come back yesterday. I went hunting and I just came back."
Guo Song smiled and asked: "I heard that Liang Xiaojian's old relationship has renewed?"
Liang Xiaojian was Duan Sanniang's unique name for Liang Wu. No one else knew about this, but Guo Song knew it very well. Liang Wu's face turned red and he quietly glared at Ma Weijiang, blaming him for talking too much.
"This...this is my master's wish. I have a marriage contract with her."
"You and Duan Sanniang are engaged?" Guo Song was surprised, why didn't he hear about it?
"Actually, I don't know either. It was the head of the family who said it, and both parents agreed, so it became a matter of course."
Guo Song was secretly amused. One was unmarried at the age of thirty, and the other was unmarried at the age of twenty-five or six. They were really destined to be together.
"Then when do you plan to treat us to a wedding banquet?"
"In two months' time! My uncle is coming to Hexi, and I'll invite everyone together then."
Guo Song nodded, "After talking about personal matters, it's time to talk about business. Call all the generals and above to the Chinese army's tent!"
"Follow the order!"
Liang Wu and Ma Weijiang ran out. After a while, the gathering drum sounded, 'Dong-dong! Dong! Dong!'
In the military camp, the above generals came from all directions, including the generals who just came back yesterday.
Not long after, the Chinese military tent gathered together, and everyone bowed and saluted, "See you, envoy!"
"Everyone, please excuse me!"
Guo Song straightened his back and said slowly to everyone: "Assembling everyone is the key point of planning for the next two months. Just two words, 'training!' The Hexi Army has 30,000 elite troops, and 20,000 of them have been deployed in Anxi and Beiting.
There are 10,000 elite troops left, and the other 50,000 troops are all new recruits, so training has become a top priority. The old method is still adopted. Each of the generals in the account leads 2,000 troops, and each brings them to train physical strength, skills and tactics.
There will be a competition every ten days, the top three will be heavily rewarded, and the bottom three will be heavily punished, starting from now on!"
