Guo Song chose a very good riding bow for Shi Tong. Shi Tong happily followed Liang Wu to practice riding and archery, but Guo Song came to the government office alone. Just now, Liang Yundao sent someone to find Guo Song and invite him
If you have time, go to the government office.
Taoist official Liang Yun served as the governor of Lingzhou, Cao Cao, who participated in the military affairs, and he was also the governor of Shuofang Jiedu Prefecture, Cao Cao, who joined the army. They belonged to two brands and one team. This is why Shuofang Jiedushi usually also served as the governor of Lingzhou at the same time.
Soon, a soldier took Guo Song to Liang Yundao's official room and said, "Liang joins the army, Mr. Guo is here!"
Guo Song is quite famous in Lingzhou now. Even ordinary soldiers know that he is Liangjiabao's foreign aid.
Liang Yundao greeted him with a smile, "Actually, it's not me looking for you, but the Jiedushi Envoy looking for you. Have you met him?"
Guo Song nodded, "We have dealt with him once."
Liang Yundao suddenly said, "No wonder, Jiedushi attaches great importance to you. I talked to him today about your unwillingness to prepare generals, and Jiedushi wanted to talk to you. Judging from his attitude, it seems that he will not force you.
"
"Are you going now?"
"Yes! You come with me."
Liang Yundao led Song to a small courtyard and knocked on the door, "Duan Shijun, Guo Song is here!"
"Invite him in quickly!" Duan Xiushi's voice came from the room.
Liang Yundao waved his hand, "You go in! You might as well come and sit in my official room after you're done."
Liang Yundao left first, and Guo Song opened the door and entered Duan Xiushi's official room. The official room was divided into two rooms, inside and outside. It was very spacious. Outside was the meeting hall, with eight carved couches and coffee tables. The inner room was the office.
It is separated by a large screen in the middle.
Guo Song walked around the screen and saw Duan Xiushi sitting in front of a large table writing something with a flying pen. The table was filled with various documents and scrolls. Behind him was a museum shelf with various exquisite tea sets.
and antiques.
Guo Song hurriedly saluted, "Guo Song, a humble citizen, comes to see the Jiedu Envoy!"
"Mr. Guo, we meet again, please sit down!"
"Thank you!"
Guo Song sat down cross-legged on the couch next to him. This was not polite, because the other party was also sitting on a very short couch. If you did not sit down but stood aside, it would look condescending and a bit rude, so sit down.
After getting off, the two of them looked at each other.
A tea boy came in and served Guo Song a cup of sencha.
Duan Xiushi smiled and said: "I heard a report from the army yesterday that someone shot and killed twenty Xue Yantuo's sentries outside the city. It should be you!"
Guo Song nodded, "That's right the villain!"
Duan Xiushi said slowly: "Your archery skills are very powerful. I knew it the last time you shot a tree branch. It is a pity not to serve the country with such skills. In fact, I have always wanted to appoint you as a flag officer, not just a reserve general."
, what do you think?"
The flag officer was Duan Xiushi's captain and one of the personal generals. However, the flag officer appointed by Duan Xiushi was a general without a court establishment. He was a staff member and his appeal was relatively weak.
Of course, Guo Song could not agree. He bowed slightly and said, "Xiaomin used to be a Taoist priest in the mountains. He is used to living freely and does not want to be bound by any restrictions. Please forgive me."
"Your literary talent and calligraphy seem to be very good. I saw your calligraphy with my own eyes when I was at Liang Canjun's place. It's so elegant that I feel ashamed of myself."
"I'm sorry for you, but I can only write a few words and have a rough understanding of the subject, so I won't be able to get on the stage."
Duan Xiushi smiled slightly, "It is a good thing for young people to be modest, but being too modest will give people a feeling of lack of confidence. If you show off appropriately, you can live a happy life."
Guo Song was silent, and Duan Xiushi changed the topic and asked: "Last time you provided key information, which made us discover that the Dangxiang people and the Xue Yantuo people were colluding. It is very likely that the Dangxiang people will also send troops to attack Lingzhou. In this regard, what do you think?"
Is there any good way to deal with it?"
"I'm just a commoner, how dare I discuss military affairs?"
"It's okay, if you don't say anything, I won't listen."
"Then this humble citizen will show his disgrace."
Duan Xiushi smiled and nodded, "I'm all ears!"
Guo Song pondered for a while and said: "Actually, the Dangxiang people are different from the Xueyantuo people. They dare not plunder the Tang Dynasty's population and wealth as unscrupulously as the Xueyantuo people did. They do long for the treasure land of Lingzhou, but they can only keep it in their hearts.
They dare not show it, after all, they are attached to the Tang Dynasty. Once they openly send troops to rob Lingzhou, it will be a rebellion, and the imperial court will definitely send heavy troops to suppress it."
"You mean that the party members only support Xue Yantuo secretly and dare not openly send troops to cooperate?"
"Your Majesty should know better than me. The Tang Dynasty is all about strength. With the current strength of the Dangxiang people, do they still have the qualifications to cede territory and stand on their own?"
"You are right. The Dangxiang people have some strength, but they are far from being able to cede territory and establish a country. Once the imperial court sends troops, it will be easy to suppress them. In fact, the imperial court already knows about their ambitions and just ignores them."
"Since Jiedushi knows, then what are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that they will send troops to pretend to be Xueyantuo's army and participate in the attack on Lingzhou City. After the Xueyantuo people have plundered the population and wealth, they will pretend to send troops to resist the Xueyantuo people, thus occupying Lingzhou."
"It is indeed possible, but it is actually very easy to decipher their adventure."
Duan Xiushi smiled and said: "Tell me, how to crack it?"
Guo Song said calmly: "Your Majesty can send a thousand troops to station in Xiazhou, and the Dangxiang people will not dare to act rashly. If the upper levels of Dangxiang send troops to attack Lingzhou, wouldn't they worry about the safety of themselves and their families? This
A thousand troops are like bones stuck in the throats of the Dangxiang people. They can't swallow and spit out, so they can only stand still."
Duan Xiushi paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his hands. It was really like this. A very simple measure solved the danger of the party members. Unless they openly rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, they would not dare to act rashly under the supervision of the Tang army.
This young man is so amazing, he sees the problem so thoroughly, and he solved one of his major worries after just a few words.
Duan Xiushi stroked his beard and said happily: "What you said is very good, Guo Song, why don't we make a deal! I won't force you to be Shuofang's military general, as long as you promise to do one thing for Shuofang's army."
Guo Song said calmly: "Since it is a transaction, what are my benefits?"
Duan Xiushi took a paper roll from the table, handed it to Guo Song, and said with a faint smile: "I just received it yesterday, you will know after you look at it!"
Guo Song opened the scroll and was immediately shocked. It turned out to be a first-class arrest warrant for his arrest. "Guo Song, the evil deed of Kongtong Mountain, deceived his teachers and destroyed his ancestors, burned down the imperial palace, and killed the royal seal. It is an unforgivable crime."
We are hereby announcing that all states in the world are wanted. Those who capture him and offer him to the government will be rewarded with three thousand guan. Those who help the government capture him will be rewarded with 500 guan. It will be signed to Yuanzhou Governor's Office.'
The figure in the painting above has thick eyebrows and bulging eyes, with a fierce look. Is this you?
"You are still a wanted person, Guo Song, are you responsible for all these crimes?" Duan Xiushi asked coldly.
Guo Song shook his head, "That's complete nonsense. When did I deceive the master and destroy the ancestors? As for burning down the imperial palace and killing the royal seal, they deserved it."
"You haven't realized the seriousness of the problem. Since the wanted order from Yuanzhou has been sent to Lingzhou, it means that it has been registered with the Ministry of Punishment, and you can only arrest people across state lines. Unless you change your name, stay away from Longyou, and go to Jiangnan or Lingnan.
Live in silence for the rest of your life, otherwise you will not be able to escape the wanted order. Let me tell you this! Only heinous death row inmates are eligible to obtain the first-class wanted order."
After a moment of silence, Guo Song asked: "Is this the bargaining chip?"
Duan Xiushi nodded, "How about you do something for Shuofang's army, and I will remove this wanted order for you?"
Guo Song pondered again and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I can't say yet, but it will definitely not be easy, and it will also be very dangerous. This is just a deal. You can agree or not."
Guo Song suddenly asked: "Is the little Tiangong given to me by the envoy?"
Duan Xiushi was startled, "How did you guess that?"
Guo Song sighed softly: "I have thought about it for a long time. Apart from the envoy, I really can't think of anyone else?"
Duan Xiushi smiled slightly, "It's indeed me who gave it to you. I was afraid that you wouldn't accept it, so I used a tactful way. What do you think? Do you still like it?"
"I like it very much and thank you for the gift of the bow."
"You're welcome. I'm more concerned about this deal now. Do you agree or not?"
Guo Song smiled bitterly in his heart, could he not agree? If he didn't agree, Duan Xiushi could arrest him immediately.
He was silent for a long time, then stood up and said: "I agreed. I am willing to do something for Shuofang's army. I hope that you will cancel the wanted order for me as soon as possible."
Duan Xiushi looked at Guo Song and said calmly: "I know you are suspicious, but I, Duan Xiushi, also promise a lot of money. By the time you go to the capital, I guarantee that this wanted order will be gone."
