The loyalty of the ministers is directly proportional to the wisdom of the king.

If Li Longji had been a wise, wise and broad-minded emperor from beginning to end, not only would the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army be loyal to Li Longji, but even Gu Qing would not have rebelled against him when he had nothing to do but had enough to eat.

The emperor is unkind, arrogant and suspicious, neglects the government, and causes chaos in the world. Such foolish behavior will make the ministers alienated. Gradually, the loyalty of the ministers will undergo some subtle changes, and such a question will always pop up in their hearts.

, "Is it worth being loyal to such an emperor?"

This question is like Pandora's box. Once opened, the devil in your heart is released. The longer time goes by, the clearer the answer becomes.

Especially for the military group, most of the soldiers have not read any books. The idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor taught by the sages is very weak to them. If the world is in chaos, rituals and music are broken, and people will become realistic, who will give them

They will be loyal to whoever gives them food and money to spend.

If you conduct a public opinion poll among the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army, ask them whether they would support it if Mr. Gu decided to rebel and overthrow Li Tang.

The soldiers' answers might chill Li Longji.

The person who gave them food and money to spend was not Li Longji, but Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was very satisfied with the reaction of the generals in the commander's tent. Li Longji's foolish performance accelerated the popular support of the generals.

"Sir, when will we advance to Guanzhong?" Chang Zhong asked.

Gu Qing shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I'm still waiting for an opportunity..."

"What opportunity?"

Gu Qing smiled mysteriously and said: "It cannot be said that before long, there will be a big change within the rebel army. The day when the change occurs is when our Anxi Army advances to Guanzhong. This time we will regain Guanzhong and Chang'an.

Luoyang..."

After a pause, Gu Qing added: "...Welcome the emperor and return the government to the capital."

The faces of the generals were indifferent. Obviously they were not interested in whether the emperor returned to Chang'an. The generals actually felt a little contempt for the emperor who was beaten by the rebels and fled in disgrace.

I can no longer see how much respect they have for the emperor.

Gu Qing added: "There is still some time to march to Guanzhong. During this period, we still have to do a few things. The first is to train soldiers, especially the newly recruited soldiers. We must insist on daily drills. When we were in Anxi

How they practice is how they practice. I don’t want the soldiers under my command to be a bunch of rabble. Liu Hongbo and Duan Wuji are keeping a close eye on this matter."

The two took orders.

"The second thing is to send several small groups of troops to the southern states and counties, especially the Jiangnan and Huainan areas, which are rich in grains, to recruit grain, grass and pig iron from the states in the name of the Anxi Army's counterinsurgency. The places they passed were first sealed.

Local government warehouses, recruiting local men to transport food to the camp..."

Shen Tian hesitated and said, "What if the local state and county officials don't agree?"

Gu Qing sighed: "Are the guys in your hands just fire sticks? If you don't agree, you'll beat them or rob them. You are soldiers, the kind of 'soldiers' when a scholar meets a soldier. Do you understand? We don't rob the people, but the officials

Well, you can still grab the warehouse occasionally. During the counter-insurgency season, the soldiers' stomachs are the most important. If there is no major disaster in the local area, then the official warehouse is ours. If you rob it, you can leave. If you want to sue them, let them sue. I'm not afraid.

"

The generals looked at each other, and Gu Qing explained: "From the day the Anxi Army leaves Guanzhong, it means that our logistics have been basically cut off. Guanzhong has been occupied by the rebels for so long, and the official warehouses and people everywhere have long been looted, so I want to

Hurry up and stock up as much food and grass as possible before leaving Guanzhong to ensure that the soldiers have no worries, do you understand?"

All the generals were suddenly enlightened and praised Gu Qing for his foresight.

After explaining the matter, the next step is to wait for the prince to send someone to take over the military power of the Anxi Army. If Li Heng really dares to do this, Gu Qing will give him an unforgettable memory.

Unknowingly, Gu Qing became more and more confident in his fight against the royal family.

When heroes are competing for deer, it is not a good thing to be too humble. Only by showing your fists appropriately can you gain weight in this troubled world. When you are strong enough, the deer that others chase will be handed over to him respectfully.

The generals dispersed, and Gu Qing was staring at the sand table in the commander's tent in a daze. There was a quarrel outside the commander's tent, and then the door curtain was opened. Wanchun barged in, followed closely by Han Jie and other personal guards. Han Jie showed a helpless expression towards Gu Qing.

With an expression on his face, Gu Qing nodded, and Han Jie bowed and left.

Gu Qing looked at Wan Chun calmly.

Wan Chun was frightened by Gu Qing's eyes. She was originally a proud and arrogant princess, but now she actually felt a little scared under Gu Qing's gaze.

"I...what happened when I went into the commander's tent to play? Why did your personal guards stop me?" Wan Chun summoned up the courage to say.

Gu Qing said calmly: "The commander's tent is an important military location. No one is allowed to enter without the commander's summons. Don't you understand this truth?"

Wan Chun said angrily: "I am the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, can't I enter the palace?"

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Yes, even the Princess of the Tang Dynasty cannot enter. There are military rules in the army. If you break the rules, others will follow you. Military law is like a decoration, and the army will be useless."

Wan Chun snorted and said: "Okay, I broke the military law, you can punish me."

Gu Qing smiled again and said: "Your Highness is worth a thousand gold, how dare I punish Her Royal Highness the Princess? It's just..."

Gu Qing's smile gradually faded, and he stared at Wan Chun and said seriously: "Today is the first and last time you break into the handsome tent without permission. Don't break in again in the future. Otherwise, I can't punish the princess, I can only punish the people around the princess."

Serve as a warning to others.”

Wan Chun was frightened by Gu Qing's serious look and took a few steps back. Thinking that she had gone through so much trouble to find him, suffered all the hardships on the way, and finally found him at the Anxi Army Camp, but Gu Qing was so cold to her, Wan Chun's heart

I suddenly felt aggrieved and tears burst into my eyes.

Gu Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw her crying.

In the handsome tent, Gu Qing must maintain the dignity of his own coach. When he should be serious, Gu Qing will never smile playfully with others. Everyone is honest in front of Gu Qing, but this princess does not act according to common sense.

After being taught a lesson by yourself, wouldn’t it be over if you swallow your anger and admit your mistake? What does it mean to burst into tears all of a sudden?

"Well, Your Highness, I just had a problem with my attitude and was too harsh. I apologize to Your Highness... But I just had a problem with my attitude, but what I said was correct. You must not break into the commander's tent. If you want to come to the commander's tent in the future, you must

Let the guards outside the tent report before entering." Gu Qing's tone was much gentler.

Wan Chun wiped away tears and cried like a lost child: "I...I came so far to look for you, and even my father didn't want me when I sneaked out, but you are cruel to me..."

Gu Qing suddenly felt a bit confused. Once a woman says the words "You are cruel to me", it means that all truths are lost. This sentence is invincible in a quarrel. Any excuse is useless. The commanding heights have been taken by her.

Steady possession.

"Not only were you cruel to me, but you also molested me. Last night, you, you..."

Gu Qing looked miserable, and she accidentally occupied another commanding height.

"Your Highness, last night was a misunderstanding..." Gu Qing rationally avoided the main contradiction of "you are cruel to me" and concentrated on solving this secondary contradiction that could barely be explained clearly.

"You obviously did it on purpose, and you still think I'm young..." Wan Chun glared at him accusingly, and at the same time worked hard to puff up his chest, artificially creating the illusion of majesty.

Gu Qing's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly didn't know how to explain it. One question was not explained clearly, and another question immediately popped up. Women's logic is like a headless fly, with no rules to follow, and their thinking is divergent.

The logic is chaotic, and the nodes are unrelated, but they can confidently throw out these unrelated arguments as weapons of crusade, and they are never ashamed of their chaotic thinking.

"This is not the first time you have molested me. You molested me when we were in Zhongnan Mountain, so you must have done it on purpose last night!" Wan Chunyi chased Sun Yong after the bandit and settled an old score.

Gu Qing found that his logic was beginning to become confusing. His mind was groggy, and he tried hard to connect the four events of "You are cruel to me", "Indecent assault", "You think she is young" and "Zhongnan Mountain back then", trying to find the connection between them.

Relevance…

What an amazing ability. In just a few sentences, you can actually say four things at once. How did you do it?

After Wan Chun said a few words, he saw that Gu Qing was silent, so he glared at him and said, "Why don't you speak? Are you feeling guilty?"

Gu Qing said dryly: "Your Highness... drink more hot water."

"???"

"Moisten your throat. I agree with what Your Highness said. Yes, I was wrong and guilty."

Wan Chun's momentum suddenly increased: "You still hurt me when you know I'm guilty!"

"I am not evil."

"You didn't hurt me, could it be that I hurt you?"

"Your Highness is not mean either." Gu Qing smacked his lips after saying this. Hey, there is something wrong with these words...

Seeing that Gu Qing had a better attitude towards admitting his mistake, Wan Chun was finally satisfied. He raised his nostrils and snorted, looking around proudly like a goose patrolling his own territory, and left gracefully.

After Wan Chun left, Gu Qing sat in the handsome tent and breathed a sigh of relief.

Today's argument seems to have gained something for Gu Qing. It turns out that no matter how fierce the argument is, just admit your mistake. The reason does not make sense, and you can't beat people. Admitting your mistake is the most efficient way to resolve the quarrel.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn't help but feel short of breath.

That is to say, Wan Chun has never slept with him. If he has slept with her, there is no need to admit her mistake. He picked her up and threw her on the bed. After a period of ups and downs, she didn't believe her.

Another burst of voices came from outside the handsome tent, and then Han Jie opened the door curtain and came in, with a strange look on his face: "My lord, your highness the princess is outside, she may have tried to come in through a rumor."

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Although this princess is arrogant, she is also obedient. After being scolded by herself for a few times, she finally understood etiquette.

"Let her in."

Wan Chun opened the door curtain, looking timid and unconvinced, very contradictory.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Your Highness, is there anything else?"

"There's something wrong. I forgot about the quarrel just now. It's all your fault."

"Yes, it's all my fault. Your Highness, please tell me."
