At the junction of Xihe County, Shangjun, Huangshui and Liangzhou, Liangzhou, the governor of Liangzhou, Feng Zhao, Shaodang Qiang, Beihe Qiang and other Qiang people had intertwined their forces, and they could transport the Xiongnu to the north. The situation was complicated and there were frequent melee.

Since the capture of Bingzhou last year, the first thing Wei Shao did was to deploy troops in the field of Xihe River, build a village and transport 20 miles, and leave Zhang Jian, Li Chong, Wei and Liang to guard it. It shows how determined he is to pacify this place.

The situation was already under control. From mid-to-end to the end of last year, all parties in this area were in peace. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this year, the Qiang Qiang took the lead in attacking the cavalry attacked Shangjun. Because of his constant vigilance, he was quickly blocked and did not cause any major losses. However, it was suspected that Feng Zhao, Liangzhou, was involved, so Wei Shao came from Youzhou to take charge of the situation.

A few days ago, after he was deployed in Xihe, he wanted to go back to Jinyang first. Before leaving, he was worried, so he only took a small team to follow him and then went to the Great Wall area of ​​Jingbian to survey the terrain. He accidentally encountered hundreds of Feng Zhao people, and arrows gathered like rain.

Wei Shao was afraid that Gongsun Yang, who was traveling with him, would be in trouble, so he protected him and retreated first, but he accidentally injured his arm by a poisonous crossbow. After he came back, he lay down.

Seven or eight days passed after lying down.

At night, the fields on both sides of the Xihe River were pitch black, and the camp was silent. Only the patrol soldiers walked on the protective wall and stepped on the wooden boards under their feet.

In Wei Shao's tent, the candles were bright.

Zhang Jian, Li Chong, Wei Liang and other generals who came to visit had already left. Wei Shao's face was a little pale than usual, but he was in good spirits. He was not lying down. He was sitting upright behind the desk and was still talking with Gongsun Yang on the candle.

On the desk in front of him, a three-foot square sheepskin map was spread out.

Wei Shao's eyes fell on the map. As Gongsun Yang talked, a promising map of tomorrow appeared in front of him again.

Destroy Feng Zhao, who has always been a lucky minion, and pacify Hexi. In this way, the west can connect to Yumen and open up the way to communicate with the Western Regions.

The most important thing is that going northward, it can isolate the communication connection between the Qiang and Rong and the Xiongnu.

In terms of military sense, this is the key point.

Only by eliminating the hidden dangers in the rear can he go south without any scruples.

"...How brave are the soldiers in Liangzhou? Twenty thousand of them are Qiang and Hu soldiers who were tempted to be conquered."

Gongsun Yang talked happily.

"Thirty years ago, when Li Gong was the lieutenant of the Qiang Guardian, he burned many other people from the Qiang people, and admired Li Gong's prestige, and persuaded him to surrender hundreds of thousands. Longxi was also safe for decades. Unfortunately, Duke Li was slandered by treacherous slander and died unjustly in the court's prison. Historical also said, "The Qiang Guardians are clear, and there were eight chief lieutenants who were good at wealth and goods, and they suffered from the sufferings. They were so virtuous and powerful that they became powerful. It can be seen that Qiang Hu originally admired loyalty and courageous officials, but after moving inward, the customs were different, and the words were not understood, and they were incompatible with the Han people. They were each on guard. The Qiang Guardian Captain sent by the court also had the name of protecting Qiang since Duke Li. Not only was there no one able to fulfill the responsibility of maintaining integrity and guarding the responsibilities, they instigated dissent and were insatiable, which led to fierce conflicts, rebellion and even united to plunder the counties."

Wei Shao kept listening carefully.

"The most urgent task of the lord is to pacify the border. If the Qiang people can be recruited, they should take the support as the top priority, and the return heart is the original. As long as the Qiang people return, Feng Zhao is not afraid. If Feng Zhao goes to Feng Zhao, there are no Liangzhou soldiers to borrow. Fortunately, Xun is ashamed to go to the side of his minions, so why be afraid!"

Gongsun Yang also said: "The Qiang and Hu are now slaughtering. The two tribes of Beihe are the most powerful. The leader of the Beihe clan is highly respected. All the Qiang people in the Huangshui area respect their names. The one who attacked Shangjun last month was slaughtering, but Beihe did not participate. The lord can start with Beihe. If the lord believes in me, I would like to choose the opportunity to go to Beihe for the lord to convey the lord's intention of being gentle. As long as Beihe first surrenders, the other Qiang tribes such as Ganlang, Zhong will definitely come up and follow the example. The remaining lords, even if they do not surrender, how can they block the lord's military attack?"

Wei Shao immediately shook his head: "Sir, this is a good plan. But you don't have to go there personally. I can just send another envoy."

Gongsun Yang said: "The lord is a shameful body of Yang, and he sacrifices himself. Fortunately, the lord is auspicious and heavenly person. Otherwise, Gongsun Yang will be punished even if he dies thousands of times! It's just a trip to Huangshui on behalf of the lord and spends a few words. What are the dangers to take? I'm not at ease when others go. The lord's plan is the best, so please agree."

When Wei Shao hesitated, Gongsun Yang smiled and said, "If you conquer the Qiang and Hu in the future, the lord can entrust a trusted person to take on the role of the Qiang and protect the Qiang school captain, hold integrity and carry out the responsibility of the leader and guard, and make resentment and ask about the sufferings, then why worry about the Western Regions? If the Western Region is pacified, then you will plan major events, and even in the future, the lord's prestige will be trusted and will reach the Western Regions. It is also inevitable that you will be able to achieve great things!"

Wei Shao's eyes flashed faintly, and he smiled and said, "In this way, I will trouble the military advisor!"

Gongsun Yang said: "It is my responsibility, so why should I be troubled?"

Wei Shao's mood was a little ups and downs. He pressed his hands on the desk, suddenly arose and said, "If you can get help, I will remember the military advisor for a great achievement!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little dizzy and shook his body. Although his movements were very small, he quickly stabilized and continued to chat and laugh, but he had already fallen into Gongsun Yang's eyes. He hurriedly got up and helped him, saying, "It's not too early. The lord's illness has not yet recovered, so it's better to rest as soon as possible. I'll take it back first."

Wei Shao pushed him away and reached out to support his hand, and smiled and said, "I'm not a woman, I can fall down even if I blow the wind, but I've been hurt by a little bit of skin and flesh. Besides, I've been raising it for many days, why is it so? I've been well, but you always like to make a fuss. Don't let me do this or that..."

He suddenly seemed to remember and said, "Since there is nothing wrong here, I'll leave for Jinyang tomorrow! If there is any urgent matter, I'll report it quickly."

Seeing that Gongsun Yang seemed to be about to speak again, he waved his hand and interrupted, "The military advisor doesn't need to persuade him anymore. I know the best of my own health. Moreover, the road from Jinyang is also convenient. I will leave early tomorrow morning."

...

Junhou came back from a poisoned arrow that day, and started to lie down for three days. From the time he could walk down the ground, he was thinking about returning to Jinyang.

Gongsun Yang naturally tried his best to stop him.

He also has some knowledge of medical treatment. Knowing that the current state of the king is to run long distances and advise him to rest.

He finally comforted him. Seeing that he was about to return to Jinyang, he could no longer hold back. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said, "There is something I said, lord, don't blame me."

Wei Shao looked at him: "Why are you going to blame?"

Gongsun Yang said: "The lord was injured and healed. He should have a careful person around him to take care of him so that he can recover as soon as possible. There is no suitable person to take care of in the barracks. I knew that the woman should have arrived in Jinyang now, so I made my own decision. A few days ago, I sent someone to Jinyang to send a letter to tell the woman that Junhou's recent situation and asked her to serve her. If the woman left after receiving the letter, I expected that she would arrive within one or two days. Junhou still didn't have to go back, be patient, etc., so as not to miss each other with Junhou."

Wei Shao was stunned, hesitated for a while, and said, "This... this... is probably a bit inappropriate... There are seventeen military rules, fifty-four beheadings, one of which is that no women are allowed to be hidden in the camp... Although I am the handsome, it is difficult for me to break this rule..."

Gongsun Yang said seriously: "Why did the Lord come from here? Is the Queen a normal woman comparable? Besides, the Queen is not the King a woman who brought the Queen into the camp for no reason, but was poisoned and injured. He needs the Queen to take care of her carefully before he can recover as soon as possible. How is it considered to be a breaking the rules? General Zhang, General Li, General Wei, also hopes that the Queen can come to take care of the King's injuries soon."

Wei Shao couldn't help but start to jump, but his face showed a more serious look. He was embarrassed for a moment, and finally he reluctantly said: "Although I still feel it's inappropriate, the military advisor hid it and sent all the letters out, so I..."

He suddenly remembered: "There will be no danger on the road, right?"

Gongsun Yang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, lord! In addition to sending a letter to the female king, I also sent another letter to Jia Huben. With Jia Huben escorted, there will be no trouble on the road!"

Wei Shao finally felt relieved and nodded seriously, "I know. I have worked hard during the day, so I'll go back to the camp earlier."

...

After Gongsun Yang left, how could Wei Shao have the heart to sleep? He lay on the camp bed in the barracks, tossing and turning, and the more he slept, the better his spirits became. Finally, he simply got up, sat down on the desk and read the military book.

His eyes were fixed on the words on the film, and a heroic soul floated out unconsciously.

He knew that she had arrived in Jinyang long ago.

At the beginning, before I was injured, the reason why I didn’t go back for a long time was that I was also a little bit confident in my heart.

After all, she was reluctant to come at the beginning because she was worried about leaving her alone at home and forced her over.

Now, although he was injured unexpectedly and he was still dizzy after lying for a few days, but he still had unexpected gains and she was coming by herself.

For the first time, Wei Shao felt that Gongsun Yang was his indispensable humeral confidant. He was shot in order to save him that day, which was really worth it.

Wei Shao thought about how he would act in front of her after she came.

Should I tell her that I am fine and that she will no longer have to worry about him, or do it again and make her pity?

This decision was really difficult. It was even more difficult than his marching and fighting.

Wei Shao thought about it for a long time, but before he could think of the dilemma, another thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

In fact, could it be that she still holds a grudge against herself in her heart, so even though she knows that he is injured, she just doesn't care about his life or death?

Wei Shao then became restless by the new thought that emerged in his mind.

If she really made up so ruthlessly and knew that he was poisoned and injured, she would not care about his life or death, then...

Then she should not think that she would be polite to the Qiao family! When he was interested one day and wanted to start the surgery, she should not cry and beg for herself!

Wei Shao was so cruel. Since the beginning of the year, she said something to cut off contact with the Qiao family because she drank too much that night, so she stopped giving herself a look, let alone take the initiative to sleep with him.

I felt more and more that Gongsun Yang’s letter should have been written in vain.

The excitement, surprise and expectation in Wei Shao's initial heart slowly faded like a tide when the tide passed by. Finally, he felt a little bored and could not read the military books.

I feel a little tired.

When you meet this woman, you will be tired physically and even more tired in your heart.

Outside his tent, there was a slight messy sound of footsteps from far to near, and there seemed to be a few words deliberately lowered in the middle.

...

Early the next morning after Xiao Qiao received the letter, he asked Jia Wei to send him to Xihe County. He rushed all the way and was finally sent here overnight.

The carriage was parked outside the gate just now. She covered her cloak and got out of the carriage.

The centurion responsible for guarding the gate received a reminder from Gongsun Yang in advance. He knew that the daughter would arrive in the next two days, so he immediately released her. He personally took her in and rushed to the central army's tent.

Xiao Qiao was worried, and hurried into the military camp with the centurion, walked through one tent after another, and finally walked to the big tent and stopped.

"Report to the Lord! The Queen is here!"

The centurion informed him.

There was no sound inside for a moment.

Xiao Qiao was anxious and went straight to lift the tent.

The candles in the tent are still lit.
Chapter completed!
