Most of the generals outside the camp knew that Gu Qing would be back soon. Compared with the reluctance of the ordinary soldiers in the camp, there was no trace of farewell on the faces of these senior generals. Li Siye was a stupid and thick guy.

He even laughed.

Pei Zhounan stood quietly behind Gu Qing. Seeing that the generals were so loyal to Gu Qing, he couldn't help but feel more and more unhappy.

Of course there is no problem in leading the troops to escort Gu Qing into Yumen Pass, but now the person who temporarily takes over the post of Anxi Jiedushi is Pei Zhounan. These generals decided to lead the troops to escort without asking him. Obviously, they did not care about Pei Zhounan at all.

The newly appointed Jiedushi took it seriously.

Thinking that in the future he, a scholar, would lead this group of unruly and proud soldiers, Pei Zhounan felt no joy at all as a new official taking office, only full of bitterness.

Gu Qing calmly thanked Li Siye and other generals, then turned around, bowed to Pei Zhounan, and said with a smile: "The Anxi Army has been handed over to Pei Jieshuai unscathed. I hope that Jiejieshuai will cherish his soldiers and treat them well."

Pei Zhounan squeezed out a smile, glanced at Li Siye and others, and sighed: "Now that Lord Gu is leaving, it will be difficult for me to be a low-ranking official. Although I am only a temporary leader, I can still be a high-ranking official during this period of temporary leadership of the Anxi Army."

Not having a good time."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "There is nothing difficult. If you love soldiers like a son, you will gain the support of the soldiers. Don't regard yourself as the commander-in-chief. In front of the soldiers, you should be a strict father and an elder brother. Treat them as your own children."

If your child is strict but kind, no one will not respect you."

Pei Zhounan thought carefully about Gu Qing's words, and for a long time, he bowed his head solemnly to Gu Qing and said, "I have learned a lesson from you. It's a long way to the mountains. Please take care of yourself, Lord Gu."

Gu Qing smiled, turned around and mounted his horse.

Han Jie led nearly a hundred personal guards in full armor and followed behind him. After leading Gu Qing and the personal guards to set off, Li Siye and Shen Tian got on their horses. The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the camp, and nearly five thousand cavalrymen came from

He sped out of the camp, followed Gu Qing and escorted him on his way.

Leaving the camp and heading east, we meandered along the Red River, passing through vast deserts with cold wind and sand that made it hard to keep our eyes open. The journey was quite difficult.

Li Siye volunteered to escort Gu Qing because Gu Qing was kind to him and promoted him from a small town envoy in Shule Town to Mo Dao General of the Anxi Army, becoming the number one forward officer of the Anxi Army. Such a great favor,

Escorting Gu Qing is the right thing to do.

Shen Tian volunteered to escort Gu Qing but had other motives.

After leaving the Qiuci camp and camping in the desert on the first night, Shen Tian came to Gu Qing's tent, took out a skin bag filled with wine from his arms, and drank with Gu Qing.

"If you don't call me Li Siye when you drink, aren't you afraid that the rough guy will scold you?" Gu Qing said with a smile.

Shen Tian shook his head: "That guy is stubborn, and what he always talks about is military law. Money is not allowed in the army, and drinking is not allowed in the army. Anyone who violates this will do whatever he wants. It's very boring."

Gu Qing snorted and said: "Now that I am no longer the military governor, you, a general, dare to drink in the army in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will drag you out and beat you with a military stick?"

Shen Tian smiled and said: "Master Marquis, in my heart you will always be the governor of Anxi. You can hit me with my military stick anytime you want. I will be convinced. I am having a discussion with you today because I want to ask for advice."

Lord Marquis, what should we generals do next to make His Majesty take back his orders and transfer Lord Marquis back to Anxi to continue to be the military governor?"

After saying this, Shen Tian held the cup in both hands, bowed respectfully to Gu Qing, and drank it all in one gulp.

Gu Qing also drank a glass of wine, put down the cup and said slowly: "After I leave, the Anxi Army's drills cannot stop. This is an iron-clad rule, and Pei Zhounan cannot change it. If he wants to change this rule, you go scold him and slap him. You can scold me at the table."

Shen Tian nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it.

Gu Qing added: "Pei Zhounan is a scholar. He is relatively rigid and does not know how to adapt. Such a person can enforce the law, but he may not be able to lead the rebellious Anxi Army. Sooner or later, his way of doing things will conflict with the soldiers. What should we do? There is no need to do anything, Pei Zhounan will defeat himself, and then all it takes is a small spark to ignite the dissatisfaction of the Anxi Army."

Shen Tian said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, the general will keep an eye on him at all times. As long as he makes the slightest mistake, the general will fan the flames behind his back and turn a small matter into a big one."

Gu Qing sighed: "Your statement is very dark. It makes us two like a pair of traitorous ministers planning to kill Zhongliang."

Shen Tian was at a loss: "General, I don't think what I said was wrong."

"You are right. Your temperament is too evil. Shen Tian, ​​you need to reflect on yourself. Ask yourself if you are a bad person..."

"Master Hou is so humble, he even scolds himself when he becomes cruel..."

The two discussed quietly in the tent for a long time. Regarding the details of how to force the emperor to transfer Gu Qing back to Anxi, Gu Qing'er gave instructions and explained many things, and Shen Tian wrote them down one by one.

…………

After walking for less than half a month, they finally arrived in front of Yumen Pass. Shen Tian and Li Siye had to turn around. After entering Yumen Pass, it was the boundary of the Hexi Army. Shen Tian and Li Siye's troops could no longer send them away.

After saying goodbye to the two generals, Gu Qing led Han Jie and other bodyguards into the pass. Just after passing the heavy city gate of Yumen Pass, outside the city gate corridor, a group of nearly a thousand knights were waiting quietly. They saw Gu Qing and others After entering the pass, the leading knight dismounted from his horse, saluted with his sword, and said loudly: "Wang Sili, the commander-in-chief of the Hexi Army, is here to wait for the marquis to enter the pass on the orders of Ge Shujieshuai. The commander-in-chief has ordered that the marquis go to Liangzhou City and his party." .”

Gu Qing smiled. Wang Sili was an acquaintance. During the last conflict with the Hexi Army, it was this general who came to the Chinese Army alone to ask for an audience with Gu Qing. He was considered a very courageous general.

Yumen Pass is not far from Liangzhou City. Since we are on Ge Shuhan's territory, and the two of them are now considered friends, there is no reason to pass through the gate without entering.

So Wang Sili led his troops to lead the way, and Gu Qing and his guards followed behind. They walked for a few more days and arrived at Liangzhou City.

After Ge Shuhan received the report, he waited outside the city gate early. When he saw Gu Qing and others arriving, Ge Shuhan dismounted and walked toward him. Gu Qing also dismounted hurriedly. The two met again outside the city and saluted each other.

"It would be outrageous not to entertain you when you come to my territory. Fortunately, Gu Jieshuai is not separated from me..." Ge Shuhan laughed loudly.

Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I am no longer handsome, I am ashamed..."

Ge Shuhan shook his head: "In my heart, no one can be as good as you as the head coach of the Anxi Army. You are a natural talent for managing the world. It's a pity..."

Halfway through his words, Ge Shuhan did not continue. He must be aware of Li Longji's stupidity, but he did not dare to say anything treasonous.

Behind Ge Shuhan, Kang Dingshuang stood there quietly, looking at him with a smile on his face.

After Gu Qing and Ge Shuhan exchanged pleasantries, Kang Dingshuang came forward to greet him.

Kang Dingshuang was temporarily lent by Gu Qing to his brother Shuhan to help him develop the economy of Liangzhou City and promote merchants.

Gu Qing saw him as soon as he arrived outside the city gate. He saw him standing alone behind Ge Shuhan, and there were several Jiedushi officials behind him, but they were a few steps behind. He immediately understood Kang Dingshuang's position in the Hexi Army.

With some understanding, it seems that Ge Shuhan really values ​​Kang Dingshuang, which can be seen from the C position he is standing in.

Pulling Kang Dingshuang over, Brother Shuhan patted him on the shoulder very familiarly and said with a big smile: "I have to say that Gu Jieshuai has many talented people. He has Li Siye in military affairs, Kang Dingshuang in literature, and one in literature and one in martial arts."

Assisting Gu Jieshuai really makes me envious..."

Gu Qing waved his hand and said: "Stop! Brother Shu Jieshuai, don't say anything else, so as not to hurt the harmony between you and me. Kang Dingshuang is temporarily lent to you, and he will return the jade to Zhao in three months to poach a corner."

Don't even think about it, if you say one more word, I will let him return to Kucha City immediately."

Ge Shuhan rolled his eyes at Gu Qing's words, and suddenly began to regret why he had invited this guy all the way to Liangzhou City. Wouldn't it be better to let him go back to Chang'an quietly?

His intuition told him that inviting Gu Qing here was a wrong decision, but... they were already at the city gate, and they were too embarrassed to drive him away.

Gu Qing was completely unaware of Brother Shuhan's contradictory psychological activities at this moment. He smiled at Kang Dingshuang and said: "Are you used to living in Liangzhou City? Has Brother Shujieshuai abused you? It doesn't matter. If you are braver, he will be ordinary."

If he makes a wrong look, just pat your butt and leave. If he dares to detain you, tens of thousands of my Anxi army will crush his poor and poor family... Our Anxi army has no suspense about beating the Hexi army. This is a good thing.

For example, if a rich man from a wealthy family beats a beggar, he will be idle when he is idle..."

Ge Shuhan was angry: "Gu Jieshuai, that's too much!"

"Oh, I made a slip of the tongue. No wonder Ge Shujie is handsome. Hey, you and I are old friends. You should know my temper. Haha, I'm too upright. Let's go into the city. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's chat.

The atmosphere is still so harmonious and warm, it’s worth revealing.”

Ge Shuhan took a deep breath.

His intuition did not lie to him. It was indeed a wrong decision to invite Gu Qing to Liangzhou City. Before he even entered the city, Shu Han regretted it and wanted to order him to be kicked out.

Holding back his anger, he invited Gu Qing into the city with a cold attitude. Ge Shuhan remained stern and silent the whole way.

Gu Qing didn't realize it. After entering the city, he admired the street scenery in Liangzhou City with great interest.

Seeing Gu Qing's high spirits, Ge Shuhan couldn't help but look smug, his indifferent expression gradually turned cloudy, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Gu Jieshuai, do you think our city of Liangzhou is prosperous? Brother Kang has only been in Liangzhou for a short time.

In three months, the weather in Liangzhou City will be very different. In another three or two years, it may not be possible to catch up with Kucha City."

Gu Qing hummed, then turned to look at him curiously, and said: "The talents I lent you have helped you manage the city so prosperously. Brother Shu Jieshuai, why are you looking so embarrassed at this moment?"

?I have a comparison here, like a beggar running to the mansion of a rich man and knocking on his broken bowl to show off..."

Gu Qing was talking incessantly, and Ge Shuhan said loudly with an ugly face: "Okay, okay! Stop! Gu Jieshuai, I know what you are going to say, please keep your mouth shut. Let's go to Jie Mansion for a drink right now."
