When you say the four words "support your troops and respect yourself", the meaning of the words is full of treason and unethical flavor.

All the generals in the commander's tent were stunned. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word for a long time.

Even Duan Wuji, who was also from Shiqiao Village and always stood firmly on Gu Qing's side regardless of right or wrong, did not say anything. He stared at Gu Qing's face and blinked hard, as if he was wondering if he had heard wrong just now.

Gu Qing saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, smiled, and said, "Looking at your achievements, do you think I'm going to rebel like An Lushan?"

Everyone was still silent.

"When I say 'support the troops and respect themselves', I mean to let the emperor know my weight and prestige in the Anxi Army, and to let the Chang'an court discover an ironclad fact, that is, if the Anxi Army leaves my commander, something big may happen.

The imperial court was forced to transfer me back to Anxi and continue to serve as a military governor."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked much more relaxed.

If it wasn't a rebellion, it would be easy to handle. It turned out that the Marquis meant to force the court to transfer him back to Anxi.

"Master Hou, next time you have something to say clearly, it's best not to use idioms..." Li Siye smiled bitterly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Gu Qing was stunned: "You, a big old man, actually laughed at me, a well-known talent. Who gave you the courage? Did I use the wrong idiom?"

Chang Zhong sighed and said: "Master Hou, 'supporting soldiers and respecting themselves' is not what you just said..."

Then all the generals in the commander's tent nodded in agreement and told Gu Qing straightforwardly that he had used the wrong idiom.

Gu Qing touched his chin thoughtfully and murmured: "They say the truth is within the range of a cannon, so... if I order them to reward each of them with ten military sticks, is it possible to hit a truth?"

As soon as he said this, there was silence in the handsome tent.

Duan Wuji suddenly said in a serious and authoritative tone: "The Marquis's words of 'support the troops and respect themselves' are correct, and are very suitable here. I am a scholar, and you generals trust me."

After silence, everyone in the handsome tent changed their attitude and nodded vigorously in agreement.

Of course this is how "supporting soldiers and respecting oneself" is used. The Marquis is a world-famous talent, can the word he used be wrong? What's more, there is a shameless scholar to prove it for him.

Gu Qingzhan smiled and said: "That's right. Not only are there no jokes in the army, but there can be no noise. If everyone maintains a high degree of unity at all times, then they are an invincible and excellent team."

It was a bit obscure and difficult to understand, but everyone still understood the basic meaning, and there was another burst of agreement.

His eyes turned to Liu Hongbo. Liu Hongbo was a latecomer in the Anxi Army. He was transferred here when Li Longji allocated the second batch of left guards and Jinwu Guards to guard the border in Anxi. Liu Hongbo was relatively introverted and not good at sociability, so among the generals of the Anxi Army, he was

The sense of presence is relatively weak.

Gu Qing smiled at him and said: "The training of the united soldiers cannot stop. Rewards and meat are provided every day and cannot be interrupted for a day. How are they training now?"

Liu Hongbo stood up and said: "The united troops have been training for more than three months, and now they are in some shape. They may not be as good as the soldiers of the Anxi Army, but they are only stronger than the troops stationed in the Tang Pass. According to the new training method of the Marquis, each

The physical strength and endurance of the united soldiers have improved, and 20 of them have been selected into General Li Siye's Modao Camp this month."

Gu Qing smiled approvingly and said: "General Liu is very capable. The united soldiers are the reserve force of the Anxi Army. If King Qin enters Yumen Pass in the future, these 10,000 united soldiers will also enter the pass together. At that time, they will be regular soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

There is a saying of 'united soldiers'. By the way, in order to train them, how many of them did you kill to scare the monkeys?"

Liu Hongbo said loudly: "Kill eight people. These eight people disobey military orders, often incite laziness, and behave like scoundrels in their words and deeds. After the final investigation, the general will behead them in public. After killing these eight people, the appearance of the unified army will be restored."

With a new look, these eight people were worth killing."

"Okay, we'll find the black sheep and kill them one by one. We can't tolerate them."

Then Gu Qing looked at Chang Zhong and said: "The five thousand people in the Shenshe Camp have been watched over by me. From tomorrow on, there will be one more thing to practice every day. I will hold a ten kilogram bucket flat and hold it for half an hour. I will add more after I get used to it."

At one hour... no matter whether I am in Anxi or not, the training content is not allowed to stop."

Chang Zhong was stunned: "Master Hou, why is this?"

"No reason, just do it, I have my own intention."

"yes!"

…………

Yingzhou City.

The personal relationship between Feng Yu and Shi Siming became more and more profound, and the two of them had basically reached the point where they could talk by candlelight and sleep.

This is Feng Yu's ability. He has a cheerful personality and is generous. He is especially good at talking. He can always follow other people's topics and then flatter him without leaving any trace. Of course, he will be righteous in the end.

Tiandi solved the opponent's actual difficulties and showed the noble quality of being a friend in times of need. Even if the opponent is hard-hearted, it is difficult to regard him as an outsider under Feng Yu's combination of punches.

Putting aside the two of them drinking and visiting brothels every day, Feng Yu did solve a lot of difficulties for Shi Siming.

An Lushan ordered Shi Siming to collect a year's worth of food and grass for the Pinglu Army within three months. In a hurry, Shi Siming's hair turned gray due to worry. There were many merchants in Pinglu, but most of them were medium merchants. There was no one for such a large business.

Fortunately, God showed mercy and allowed him to meet Feng Yu.

Originally, Shi Siming had doubts about Feng Yu and did not dare to believe in his origins and strength, but Feng Yu confirmed his strength with actual actions.

Last month, he sent 5,000 shi of food and grass without saying a word, and this month he promised to arrange another 20,000 shi immediately to ensure that General Shi will complete the military orders of Commander An Jie on time and in quantity.

Shi Siming was overjoyed and immediately introduced Feng Yu as a true friend.

No matter how luxurious and generous people are when enjoying themselves, they will be forgotten in the blink of an eye and cannot buy true friendship. However, if someone steps forward to help when people are in trouble, they must make such friends.

Shi Siming feels that Feng Yu is a true friend. His generous and generous helping hand are very obvious advantages. What's more, he is also good at chatting. Such a friend is worthy of sincere friendship.

In the days that followed, Shi Siming's attitude towards Feng Yu changed significantly. The most obvious thing was that Feng Yu found that there were fewer informants surrounding his house to monitor him, and Shi Siming became more and more casual with him, and occasionally even

Will take the initiative to treat guests.

Feng Yu calmed down. On the surface, he still looked like an arrogant and domineering playboy, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

He found that the time had come.

In the house in Yingzhou City, late at night, only a dim candlestick was lit in the room.

Li Jianjiu looked solemn, but Feng Yu, who was sitting opposite her, was sitting half-sitting and half-lying on the futon, with a cynical and frivolous smile at the corner of his mouth.

"How sure are you about this matter? If you want to take a gamble, I advise you not to take chances. The troops under An Lushan are not just a mob. They have been guarding the northern border of the Tang Dynasty for many years.

The frontier troops have very high combat power and alertness, and they will be spotted by others if they are not careful." Li Jianjiu's little face tightened, and he looked strangely cute.

Feng Yu kept staring at her face, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her. Although this woman was a little older than him, she was as cute as a little girl who had no experience in the world.

"Whether we are sure or not, this matter must be done. Counting the days, we are getting closer and closer to An Lushan raising troops. If I don't stab him secretly, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future." Feng Yu smiled lazily.

.

Li Jianjiu asked doubtfully: "Shi Siming trusts you?"

"It's more trusting..." Feng Yu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Three days ago, Shi Siming and I were both drunk. He took the initiative to invite me to sleep in the same room and bed without any precautions against me. Haha, that guy

After I fell asleep, I snored so loudly that I stayed up all night and kept my eyes open until dawn."

Li Jianjiu looked at him deeply and said: "Do you know how much risk you will take in what you plan to do? Once discovered, Shi Siming will make your life worse than death."

Feng Yu's smile gradually faded and he sighed: "Ajiu, I know it's dangerous, but I have to do it because this is the task assigned to me by Brother Gu..."

"Can a word from Mr. Gu make you not even care about your life or death?"

Feng Yu's eyes became misty, and a thick fog seemed to rise in his eyes. At the end of the thick fog was the once barren mountain village.

"Brother Gu and I were both born in Shiqiao Village. Ah Jiu, you don't know how poor Shiqiao Village used to be. That kind of poverty... is the kind of poverty that makes people despair for generations. Some people can't stand it and go out to live in poverty."

All the recruited soldiers died on the battlefield, and those who did not go out were the elderly, women and children. They struggled to survive on a few acres of thin fields, starving to death and not having enough to eat, as if God gave us life in order to subject us to the torture of reincarnation."

"I have been hungry before. I am hungry every year. I dug wild vegetables in the mountains and caught fish in the river. When I felt hungry, I even caught mice in the holes to eat. Do you know how to catch mice?

Found the mouse hole, lit it with moist firewood smoke, and directed the thick smoke towards the hole.

Smoked, a bamboo basket was pushed back outside the hole. The mouse couldn't bear the smoke and ran out of the hole and fell into the bamboo basket. A mouse had its intestines and intestines removed, and only two bites of meat could be eaten. With such a little meat, the villagers

The children also fought over each other and beat each other to pieces..."

"I lived like this for more than ten years, until one day, Brother Gu's temperament changed drastically. He became different from before. He was no longer the cowardly and kind-hearted orphan. He became very strong and domineering.

Full of murderousness and hostility, he also has a

With his inexplicable ability, he led us to build porcelain kilns and run village schools. I don’t know when, every household in our village could afford to buy meat, and we had the courage to go to the county town to buy fabrics to make new clothes. Girls from other villages took the initiative to find him.

Matchmaker, wants to marry into our village..."

"In just one or two years, the changes were so great, it was like a dream. Later, Brother Gu became an official and went to Chang'an, leaving Sister Huaiyu behind. She was very strict, kicking our butts every day, and driving us into the middle of nowhere.

Drilling on the mountainside, practicing martial arts to learn killing skills, learning swords, guns and sticks, learning to form formations to attack the enemy, and then kicking our butts and driving us into the school. Anyone who doesn't study carefully will be whipped by her, and the whip will really hurt...

…”

Feng Yu lowered his head, trying hard not to let her see his red eyes, with a frivolous smile still on his cheeks.

"The whole village seems to have been dragged back to the world by Brother Gu. As long as we stay in the village and work hard, every household will have food to eat, make money, and even go to school to learn and read.

, this would have been unthinkable in the past, but we have ended up living like this..."

"Ajiu, do you know why I am telling you this? In your eyes, Gu Qing is just a young dignitary, a man who was named a county prince at a young age. He is a big shot, but in the eyes of us Shiqiao Villagers,

Gu Qing is a god. His words are greater than the imperial edict and are against taboos. Even if he ascends the mountain today and declares rebellion, we Shiqiao villagers will not hesitate to stand behind him and conquer the city for him.

Go forward one after another.”

Taking a deep breath, Feng Yu said in a low voice: "Brother Gu said that An Lushan once cheated him hard in Anxi, and he asked me to find an opportunity to take revenge. If he said this, then I will

I risk my life and death to do it for him, and I will stab An Lushan in the back this time."

Looking at the ferocious-looking Feng Yu, the frivolous disguise on his face was replaced by a calm expression, his eyes were calm and distant, like a wise hermit, looking at the sorrows and joys of the world with cold eyes.

At this moment, Li Jianjiu finally understood Feng Yu and also understood Gu Qing better.
