It was the fourth prince Gu Xingge who helped Zhao Yuansheng to spread his reputation. As for those insiders, they were of course the fourth prince's subordinates.In Gu Xingge's words: "Anyone who dares to touch my brother must be punished!"

On the same day, Zhao Yuansheng was carried back to the Zhao family.The funeral team, under the leadership of Xu Shaoxian, directly entered the palace.The emperor was very angry at the fact that the supervisor he sent was beaten by his son. Are you beating the supervisor?You are slapping me in the face!

Xu Shaoxian is also smart, and the tall and strong man starts to wipe his tears when he says he is crying.Your Majesty, you don't know, the Superintendent Zhao has lost the reinforcements that the general rescued, and the general almost died in the hands of the enemy several times, and now his injuries are still not healed!The soldiers are heartbroken, we are working so hard for our country, how can you lead us to die?The general also had no choice but to beat the supervising army. If he didn't fight, everyone's hearts would be hard to calm down. In the future, the army would not be able to lead the army. The general still expected them to destroy the king's tent of the Qiang people!

What Xu Shaoxian said was sincere, and the emperor felt depressed after seeing the memorial drafted by Mr. Situ.Looking at the thick list of dead soldiers, I feel that Zhao Yuansheng was not so wronged!

"Qizou Shengshang, the general told his subordinates before leaving, saying that Supervisor Zhao was also eager to make meritorious service. It was not his wish to kill more than 3 elite soldiers of our dynasty. The general had no choice but to beat Supervisor Zhao. It's a punishment, and please give your majesty a lighter punishment!" On the surface, it was a plea, but in fact it was an insult to the emperor. The lives of 3 people are just a beating?It's not enough for Gu Xingji to hit someone, he needs to be punished by the emperor again.

Sure enough, the emperor was furious, "Zhao Yuansheng disobeyed the military order, deployed troops without authorization, and delayed the opportunity of the war. His crime can be punished. Since his father and brother served a lot for the country, he was exempted from the death penalty. He will be dismissed from all official positions immediately and will never be hired. Three generations of descendants Do not enter the court!"

Xu Shaoxian lowered his head and curled his lips. Sure enough, as the general expected, the emperor would not kill Zhao Yuansheng!After the court meeting, the emperor summoned Xu Shaoxian alone and asked about the situation at the border, but he didn't mention a word about his injured son.

Xu Shaoxian answered one by one, and finally presented Gu Xingji's secret document.The emperor immediately tore down the Gu Xingji inside. According to Mr. Situ's instructions, he said how wronged he was and how helpless he was when he beat Zhao Yuansheng. It will give the enemy a chance to breathe. For now, the only plan is to ask the emperor to send tens of thousands of people over. Before the weather is too cold, he will quickly wipe out the Qiang people, so as not to have long nights and dreams!

Seeing Gu Xingji's secret report, the emperor squinted his eyes, and his heart became more angry, feeling that punishing Zhao Yuansheng just now was too cheap for him.If it wasn't for him, he would have been wiped out now. With this achievement alone, he could be recorded in the annals of history for future generations to admire!The emperor asked Xu Shaoxian to step down without saying anything.

Xu Shaoxian stayed in the capital for a few days, and heard that Zhao Yuansheng's father was fined three years' salary, and his brother Zhao Yuanji was ordered by the emperor to shut himself up at home and contemplate his mistakes on the charge of corrupting the emperor's eldest son.

Xu Shaoxian didn't know whether it was the second prince's secret package that worked or the fourth prince added more firewood. He only knew that a few days later, someone from the palace rewarded him, and then asked him to bring people back and forth.As for the matter of sending troops, there is no further text.

Xu Shaoxian accepted the order happily. He had been at the border for a long time, and he couldn't stand the constraints of the capital at all. He wished to return to the northwest as soon as possible.Just before he left, he did one more thing.He bought a woman from the Zhao family and asked about Zhao Yuansheng's situation.

The mother-in-law told him that Zhao Yuansheng's ass|holes were retracted after being spanked, and he can't poop until now.Now he can only drink some soup and water to continue his life. The handsome young man turned out to be so thin that he only has a handful of bones left, and his face turned blue from being suppressed like this.

Xu Shaoxian was very relieved to hear that, he packed the rewards from the palace, and returned to the northwest with his thousand soldiers and horses.Back in the northwest, Xu Shaoxian went to see the general first, and told everything that happened in the past few days.

"You said that General Guo Hong blocked you?" Gu Xingji's face immediately elongated.He found that the problem of protecting his shortcomings is getting more and more serious now.

"Yes, General. General Guo asked me why only the 3 troops sent by his subordinates were killed in battle, and the others were all fine. Did you target him, General? If so, he will ask the emperor Let the subordinates be his witnesses." Xu Shaoxian didn't hide anything like beans in a bamboo tube.

"And then?" Jingli hasn't sent a letter to reprimand him so far, and Xu Shaoxian must have blocked this matter.

"The subordinates advised General Guo not to mention this matter. 5 people came out to carry out the mission, and 2 people followed the general. It's okay, but something happened to your 3 people. General, you are kind, Let these people be enshrined in the loyalty book and enjoy the incense. If the general makes a big fuss and the truth comes out, these 3 people will disobey the order and leave the army without authorization, this is regarded as a rebel army!" Xu Shaoxian said Here it stops.

Gu Xingji raised his eyebrows, "What else? Guo Laohu won't be persuaded so easily." The main reason is that this statement will not hurt his interests at all.

Xu Shaoxian looked at Gu Xingji adoringly, "General Guo said, if there is no trick in this matter, you, General, would not agree so easily to let the rebels enter the loyalty book. You must let your subordinates testify." So, the subordinates also said Yes, the [-] troops of the Northern Aid Army come from all over the world, and other people's teams are obedient, but what happened to your subordinates, General Guo, who knew that Wang Jingdong was arbitrarily dictating power, but those who didn't know thought it was you who instigated behind the scenes Yes. The general suppressed this matter because he didn’t want to be your enemy, so don’t be ignorant of good people.”

"Is this the end?" Gu Xingji continued to ask.

"Hey, my subordinates even fired at General Guo, saying that this time General Wang might have made meritorious service to the commander of the Gyeonggi Reserve Army, but Zhao Yuansheng came to confuse him, causing General Guo to lose 3 people in vain. The chief culprit, General Guo, must be identified!" Xu Shaoxian has a good foundation, and under the influence of Mr. Situ and his own general, he quickly ran on the dark road.

"You did a good job, go down and rest!" Gu Xingji didn't ask about the soldiers, how did the emperor reply.According to his estimation, it will take at least the spring of next year to hear back.This winter, he just needs to raise his soldiers and horses to be strong with peace of mind.

As Gu Xingji expected, the emperor arranged for someone to propose to increase troops to the northwest to wipe out the Qiang people in one fell swoop, and people from various factions jumped out one after another.That said, no way, it’s so cold that the Qiang people who are used to living in the northwest are hiding in winter. How can our people get used to it?That one also said, yes, it is difficult to raise food and grass in such a cold day!The household department also said, yes, yes, at the end of the year, all kinds of sacrifices require a lot of money, and the national treasury is empty!

Anyway, no one agreed to increase troops to the northwest.The fourth prince who entered the court hall for the first time turned into a pillar standing in the court hall, and did not move or speak.

Seeing that no one responded to his proposal, the emperor was a little unhappy, so he asked his fourth son, what do you think should be done?

"Returning to my father, my son thinks that what the adults say is reasonable, this soldier cannot be dispatched. Anyway, the second brother has beaten the Qiang people to death, and dare not attack again in ten or twenty years. As for ten or twenty years later, the enemy will rest and recuperate. Come here, let’s attack again... Let’s talk about it when the time comes, I think it won’t be cold in winter, and the national treasury will be full!” This is clearly putting eye drops on the emperor.Oh, you have all kinds of reasons now, after the enemy recuperates, will these reasons disappear?

The emperor's anger rose slowly, and suddenly he regained the mighty and domineering arrogance of his youth. He kept his word and ordered the soldiers to dispatch troops without money, and to collect food without money.

The officials in the capital had a hard time this winter, but Gu Xingji at the border became more and more nourished. With the delicacies cooked by his little wife, he even gained two catties.

In the beginning of spring, the soldiers, horses, food and grass sent by the emperor arrived at Yangguan City. Gu Xingji joined forces with Kou Ying to attack the hinterland of the Qiang people's activity range and captured the Qiang king's tent.The Great Khan of the Qiang nationality was killed by a "flowing arrow" by mistake during the war, the adult prince was killed because of resistance, and the rest of the royal family were captured in detail.

Since then, all the Qiang people who had harassed the northwest border of the Wu Dynasty for nearly a hundred years were all moved to the Central Plains, where they lived and intermarried with the people of the Wu Dynasty. After more than a hundred years, there was no trace of the Qiang people in history.

After staying at the border for so long, Gu Xingji didn't want to return to the capital even more.After the war with the Qiang people ended, the grasslands outside Yangguan City could finally allow the people of the Wu Dynasty to graze freely, and the caravans came and went freely.Gu Xingji also took Qu Yu and Shao'er to experience the feeling of galloping recklessly on the grassland.

Riding side by side with his little daughter-in-law against the setting sun, Gu Xingji had the illusion that there were only the two of them in the world.As for Xiao Shaoer, he was habitually ignored by General Gu!

In General Gu's eyes, only the young daughter-in-law was left, and the smile on the young daughter-in-law's face was the only one Gu Xingji had seen since he had known him for so long, so bright, so natural!

Gu Xingji suddenly didn't want to bring his daughter-in-law back to the capital.The situation in the capital is chaotic, almost one step at a time.How can a simple-minded little daughter-in-law be able to overcome those evil spirits.Even if Xiao Shaoer is clever, but after all, she is small, it is too difficult to protect a person!

Gu Xingji tried his best to find an excuse to stay in the Northwest. However, the affairs of the Qiang people were over, and even if he used the excuse that there were still follow-up matters to be dealt with, he could not delay any longer.Until one day, a caravan came to ask for help, saying that they had been robbed by sand bandits.

As soon as Gu Xingji heard the music, he fell asleep and gave him a pillow. The sand bandits did a great job of robbing. Gu Xingji organized his troops and led his people to exterminate the sand bandits.Although the sand bandits were cruel and cunning, they could not compare with the regular army after all, not to mention that the army led by Gu Xingji had fought the Qiang people to death, and was the best of the best.The few sand bandit forces that were not wiped out also fled after hearing the news and broke up.

Gu Xingji remembered the water vein map again, and discussed with Mr. Situ to find out whether the water vein map is true or not.Mr. Situ was very helpless, "The capital has urged me several times, the general will not be disrespectful anymore."

"Okay then, let the brothers pack and pack, and leave for Beijing in ten days!" However, Gu Xingji did not delay the ten days after all...
