I'm happy after being scumbag

Different from the chilling atmosphere in Chang'an, at this moment, Zhecheng is enjoying a feast of wine and music.

The city lord's mansion in the deepest part has now become the residence of Wusu Khan.

Not to mention the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Pushing forward for several months, even the people around Khan did not expect this result.

They originally just wanted to go south to fight the autumn wind like the Turks in the past, and rob food, women, and some gold and silver property.With these, you will be rewarded.It seems that this is not only aimed at the victory of Dazhou, but also let them vent their bitter hatred of being suppressed and bullied by the Turks in the past-the people of Dazhou who killed and drove you away are now just lambs under our horseshoes, rustling trembling!

But Khan took them to live in the city of the Dazhou people.

They are not used to it.They no longer sleep in tents, but houses with doors and windows.There are no more grasslands and cattle and sheep outside the window, but one after another fence.

Even so, with the passage of time, the voice of "Back to the Grassland" has gradually faded.

There is no other reason, it is really warm here!

Although it will still snow, the people of Dazhou can repair the kang.When the firewood is burned in winter, the whole house is much warmer than the outside.

Kids love the sugar, and they love the wine.After drinking and sleeping on the kang, night after night, even if I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, my heart is always itchy.But when it comes to "going back", not many people responded.

I really want to stay here for a long time.

The Khitan people couldn't help thinking.

They don't know that their own Khan's vision is even higher.

Wusu Khan found a map from the city lord's mansion, and looked at the vast land south of the twelve cities in the northern border.

He had a deep, disfiguring scar on his face.Three years ago, Khan encountered wolves on the grassland and was found again. A piece of flesh had been bitten off by wolves on the grassland, and the wound was horrifying.After he finally recovered, his face seemed to have changed a little from the eyes of familiar people.However, the wound was so deep and serious that it involved the muscles on the face, which made some differences in the eyebrows and eyes, which seemed to be normal.

What's more, during the three years when Usu Khan led troops to fight on the grassland, the people around him also changed a lot.The first group of family members and guards were captured and threatened by other tribes, but Khan was not weak at all. Instead, he shot his wife to death with an arrow to show his determination, and he won the victory.

At the same time, no one mentioned what Khan looked like before.

At this moment, he held the wine glass in one hand, and slowly rubbed the map made of sheepskin with the other.

Khan didn't drink much, but took a sip occasionally while he was deep in thought.

There are not many people that the emperor can send.The biggest possibility at the moment is to find people from the southwest.

But the southwest has been a place of hot flashes since ancient times, and now it is in the middle of winter.People came early, so they must not adapt to the climate in northern Xinjiang.It was too late, and there would be more time left for him.

In any case, he is sure to win.

Thinking of this, Wusu Khan showed a trace of satisfaction on his face.At this time, the door was pushed open, and another person entered.

Wusu Khan looked up.The two looked at each other, and Khan raised his brows slightly, then quickly let go, and smiled: "Why did you come here suddenly?"

What he was facing was a man from the Central Plains who had been picked up on the grassland three years ago.The other party committed some crimes on the Dazhou boundary, and fled to the grassland in order to survive.It was also a coincidence that Khan was rescued from the mouth of wolves.In this way, the Khan kept him by his side.Now, he is also a fierce general.However, when he was outside, in order not to highlight the difference between his Central Plains face and the people around him, this person always wore a mask that Khan ordered someone to make for him.

At this moment, the man sat down in front of Khan.He came all the way back from other cities, got off his horse, and went directly to the Khan's house.Everyone in the tribe knew that Khan was grateful for his life-saving grace, and he was granted permission not to salute to himself like others, and he didn't have to pay attention to many etiquettes.So although someone saw him pushing the door, no one stopped him.

He took off his mask, grabbed the wine jug in front of Khan, drank a few mouthfuls, said "happy", then put down the silver jug, looked at Khan, and asked, "Now is it time to pass news to the family?" Is it about time?"

Khan listened, his eyes flickered.

The man said again: "You said before, if Father and the others know that we have come to the grassland and mixed with those foreigners, they must be furious! It is better to make some achievements to calm them down. Now, we have laid down Twelve cities in Northern Xinjiang. If you take Uncle Yan, Uncle Zheng, and Father over, they will definitely be happy."

Khan said nothing.

He didn't touch the jug of wine again.While listening to the man's voice now, the thumb rubbed gently and unobtrusively on the index finger.

The man called him: "Ah Yi—! Are you listening to me? Hey, did you drink too much?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it in front of Khan.

If there were generals defending Zhecheng standing here, they would be extremely astonished.

That man turned out to be someone they knew very well!

It was Guo Xin, the son of Guo Mu, the former Pingyi General.

It's just that as early as the first year of Jianwen, this person was involved in the Yan Party conspiracy case.Although the subsequent incidents proved that the Yan party was wronged, Guo Xin and another major general robbed the prison together, and finally pushed the Yan party into the abyss.

Later, in the second year of Jianwen, this person disappeared in Lingnan at the same time as the "other major general".The officers and soldiers of the imperial court searched for more than half a year, but there was no result.Later, there was faint news that the court had actually found Zheng Yi's body.

Because of this, Zheng Gongyi, who was still in Lingnan, couldn't get sick, and Guo Mu couldn't get better.They were being interrogated every day, and others felt that Zheng Yi and Guo Xin would not hide their whereabouts from their elders from the perspective of common sense.But Zheng Gong and Guo Mu really didn't know it. After being tossed like this, it didn't take long before Guo Mu couldn't get up either.

These are all things of the past.Today, Guo Xin looks at the twelve cities in northern Xinjiang that have been brought under his command by the two of them, and his heart is full of passion.He thought, as long as he sent Father and the others back, it would be considered a return to those good times in the past.

Listening to his words, "Usu Khan", or Zheng Yi, who was found by the Khitans by accident and simply replaced the identity of the Khan who had been killed by wolves, smiled and said: "Of course I heard it." .”

Guo Xin was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him expectantly.

Zheng Yi still smiled and said, "It's just that in my opinion, this is still inappropriate."

Guo Xin frowned and asked, "Why?"

Zheng Yi said: "The battle is raging now. Although the people sent by the dog emperor have been defeated, they are not all dead. They are guarding the southern city one by one, and the investigation is the strictest everywhere. Go to pick them up now." Father and the others, who are they sending? If someone is not familiar with the Central Plains, I am afraid it is impossible to go to Lingnan at all. If they are familiar with the Central Plains—"

After a pause, he smiled helplessly.

Zheng Yi said: "I'm afraid it's just you and me. But at this time, how can you and I leave here?"

"This," Guo Xin hesitated, "what you said is true. But..."

But all these years, he has been secretly inquiring about news from his family.

Naturally, it is difficult, but I still piece together some sporadically from the mouths of the merchants from the south.

Said that he and Ah Yi seemed to be dead after escaping - it depended on Ah Yi's ingenuity to find a bandit who was about the same size as him, and put him in a place where there were traces of the hunter's path - said Father, Uncle Zheng They are troubled every day.

Guo Xin was worried about this.However, my friend had a point.

"Let's wait a little longer," Zheng Yi said softly to Guo Xin, "Wait until we hit the south side little by little, and then, wouldn't it be just right to bring them back in a beautiful manner?"

Guo Xin listened, and murmured and repeated: "The scenery is beautiful."

Zheng Yi said: "Exactly. You think, your father, my father, and Uncle Yan, after all, they are old and have old injuries. It is not good to let them go back and forth now."

Guo Xin hesitated and admitted: "Exactly."

Zheng Yi smiled and said: "Okay. It just so happens that you are back, why don't you come and see with me how to fight in the future. Those Khitan people only know how to burn, kill and loot, and the original Zhecheng defense is stubborn. Now, You are the only one who can discuss this with me."

Guo Xin was still immersed in a depressed mood.Hearing his friend's words, he scratched his head, feeling quite incredulous: I have become someone who can discuss with Ah Yi?However, what A Yi said was good.The Khitan people are barbaric, and the original guarding general of Zhe City has lost his head, so Ah Yi really has no one to use.

He lowered his head and went to look at the map with Zheng Yi.When it comes to the use of troops, Guo Xin really has some intuition.Even when Zheng Yi was listening to him, his gaze would linger on Guo Xin's neck from time to time, thinking that this person was really getting more and more troublesome, maybe it was time... However, he still suppressed his thoughts at the end.

Don't look at his Khan today's scenery, but he was able to capture the twelve cities today because he has the advantage of being familiar with these places.Zheng Yi grew up in Zhecheng, and he knows exactly how many bricks there are in the city wall.But going south again is not so easy.

In this case, it is still beneficial to keep Guo Xin.

Half of what happened in the future met Zheng Yi's guess.

The emperor still transferred people from the southwest.However, when the new general was on the way, Zheng Yi failed to go further south.

Although he captured the twelve cities, he could not really hold the twelve cities.Still the same sentence, among all his subordinates, there is only one Guo Xin, who can be regarded as truly "available".Apart from that, the Khitan people who went south either still missed the grassland in their hearts, or they couldn't extricate themselves from drinking and meat in the city.Even those with a clear mind have only been on the offensive side before, never defending the city.

In this case, at the beginning of spring, Hou Jie assembled his army and recaptured the four cities in one fell swoop.

The news was sent back to Chang'an, and the court, which had been suppressed for several months, finally felt a little more relaxed.Among these, the emperor had other thoughts.

Looking at the description of the situation in northern Xinjiang in the battle report, he thought to himself: From this point of view, it seems that Wusu Khan is the only one in the entire Khitan tribe who has a plan? ...But these things are not innate, so there must be other reasons for him to know the generals of the Great Zhou and the defense of the border city in this way.

Thinking about it this way, the answer is ready to come out.

Although it is embarrassing for Lu Mingyu to say these things, he still needs to admit that the Yan family was able to guard the northern border for many years and make the Turks disappear on the border, not just because of their reputation, but because of their real ability.If "Wusu Khan" is one of Zheng Yi and Guo Xinzhong, many doubts and questions in the past will be explained.
