The next day, Gao Jun, Lu Zuo and others got up very early and went to the city to appease the people. After a day of maintenance by the military and civilians in Shanzhou City, the streets were finally restored to cleanliness. The roofs of some houses were so damaged that it would take several days to repair them. Gao Jun Jun ordered people whose houses and fields were affected by the war to register at the government office and receive relief funds.
At dusk that night, Gao Jun went to the Shanzhou government office again to inquire about the generals' response. After a day of emergency rectification, Shanzhou City was gradually back on track as quickly as possible, and the people were all overjoyed because of the arrival of their country's troops. Gao Yun promulgated a series of measures to benefit the people, which made the people grateful.
While everyone was talking in the hall, another subordinate came to report that An Shiqing, the governor of Lanzhou, was outside asking for an audience. Gao Jun quickly ordered someone to come in, and Jing Jingruo also couldn't wait to run out and welcome his brother into the hall. An Shiqing first bowed to the people present and exchanged greetings, and then said: "When I saw Marshal Gao and my brother-in-law coming to repair the book, I immediately brought all my men and horses without stopping. What are your orders next, Gao Marshal, just say it, as long as you can do your best for my great man, you will be obliged to do so."
After hearing this, Gao Yun walked down the steps and came to An Shiqing. He cupped his fists and said, "General An, I'm so grateful, my foolish brother!" Then he ordered those around him, "Show General An his seat."
So An Shiqing also sat down at the bottom, Lu Zuo's seat at the top. An Shiqing said: "Now that our troops are all here, what should we do next?"
Gao Jun looked at Lu Zuo for help, "This...brother, what do you think?"
Lu Zuodao: "Get ready tomorrow and lead the army to continue the pursuit."
It was night, with the moon hanging high in the sky. When Gao Yun, Lu Zuo, Chen Tuizhi, Yin Ji, and Huo Quan took a break in the inn, they began to set up a table and have a drink. Although Gao Yun won this big victory, The others are all unhappy because of Pang Gu, but what is gratifying is that Dafan's trouble will soon be eliminated. The only thing he can do for Pang Gu now is to petition the emperor, hoping to pursue Pang Gu's title. It was regarded as the spirit in heaven that comforted him, and everyone couldn't help but comfort each other during the dinner. While they were drinking and drinking, Yin Ji noticed that his master seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked the master next to him: "Master, are you worried about something?"
Lu Zuo was shocked. He had always kept his face secretive, but he didn't expect Ji'er to be able to see what was on his mind. He thought that if he had been around for a long time, he would naturally notice the clues.
Chen Tuizhi felt that the elder brother might be worried about Pang Gu, so he comforted him: "Elder brother, don't think too much, he is gone. All we can do now is to end the war, and then return to the capital to ask the Holy Lord for orders to let him Chasing Brother Pang, this way we can be considered as our last friends."
Seeing that Lu Zuo still didn't speak, Gao Yun also asked: "Brother, if you have anything on your mind, please tell us all. Maybe we can help too!"
Lu Zuo chuckled, "Actually, it's nothing important. Now General An has also sent troops to support. I believe we can solve the matter on Xiruozandra's side soon."
Chen Tuizhi said: "It's over now, why are you so depressed?"
"The matter here has been resolved, but..." Lu Zuo frowned.
"But what?" Huo Yan took advantage of the wine and became impatient, "Brother Lu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, no need for mother-in-law and mother-in-law!"
Lu Zuo looked up at Huo Yan with some embarrassment, "We have been away from the capital for a long time now. I wonder what the situation is like in the capital?"
Gao Jun also felt the same way. Since he became the general of the Jinwu Guard, he has been deeply aware of the changes in the court situation and the blessings and misfortunes of the day and night. Nowadays, the party dispute between Prince Liu Yan and Prince Ning Liu Xun has become more and more intense. Once they leave, When the center of power has no channels to obtain information from the court, then when you look back, the situation in the court may be described as changing rapidly.
Yin Jidao: "Master, don't worry too much. Prince Ning is very resourceful and has some power in the court. I believe he will be able to handle this matter well."
"hope so!"
Huo Yan didn't like hearing these nonsense the most. He raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "What are you thinking about those useless things? Let's just drink. Brother Lu really can't think of anything at that time, so he will let me go. What do you want?" Just tell me which one to kill!"
Lu Zuo smiled slightly and didn't want to talk any more. He just asked everyone to continue drinking.
The next day, Gao Jun ordered the troops and marched in three groups. An Shiqing led 40,000 troops as the vanguard, Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu led 10,000 troops to follow, Gao Junze and Lu Zuo led 20,000 troops to the rear, leaving behind Wang Yan was guarding the city in Shanzhou.
I don't know how long it took, but the three armies had already gathered in Dafeichuan. It was getting dark, so Gao Jun ordered to set up camp and bury pots to make rice. After dinner, Gao Yun discussed raising the bill again. No one expected that they could successfully march into Dafeichuan. Seeing that Wuhai City was just ahead, as long as Wuhai City was captured, it would be equivalent to grabbing Dafan's throat, and then there would be a chance to fight Dafan. By negotiating conditions, we can even attack Huanglong in one fell swoop and capture Luosuo. When everyone was chatting, Lu Zuo frowned and said: "Although it is not difficult to capture Wuhai now, if the Tibetan army unites with the Qita Kingdom again to cut off our army's logistics supplies, then we are likely to be defeated. Wuhai.”
Lu Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Zuo'er is too worried. I have lived in Shanzhou for a long time. The reason why Qita withdrew from Shanzhou last time was because Xiruo Zanzhuo betrayed his faith and did not distribute the spoils to them. So at that time, I secretly It only took one stratagem to cause Qita's army to withdraw."
Gao Jun was very interested, "What kind of alienation tactics did Senior use to make the Qita army retreat?"
"Haha..." Lu Xiuyuan pretended to have a profound smile and said, "The alliance between the two countries is naturally based on interests. If you want the two countries to go in opposite directions, it will naturally harm their shared interests and create mutual hostility."
Huo Yan said disdainfully: "I don't know what you mean by the second leader. I only know that even if the Qita Kingdom and the Dafan Kingdom unite again, I will defeat them together."
Qin Fu, on the other hand, argued with Huo Yan and said with a smile: "Huo Yan is right. People in the light don't do secret things, but they should show the truth on the battlefield."
Gao Yun said disapprovingly: "Having said that, it is easy to dodge open guns and hidden arrows. We are gentlemen, and others will not fall for our tricks."
Lu Zuo ignored their words and said to his second uncle who was sitting across from him as his advisor, "So my second uncle has found a way to prevent Qita Kingdom from sending troops."
"That's right!" Lu Xiuyuan said confidently, "I am writing a letter and just tell them that I surrendered to the Han because of Tibet's treachery. Seeing Tibet's betrayal, the Qita Kingdom did not dare to send troops to help anymore. And now that we have the advantage, even if I don’t write this letter, they won’t send troops rashly.”
Gao Jun was ecstatic, "Senior said it makes sense. In this case, it is safer to write a letter." After that, he quickly ordered someone to get paper and pen, and then asked Lu Xiuyuan to write the letter immediately, and then sent his men Quickly take him to Qita Country.
Then everyone began to discuss the next action. Suddenly, a detective outside the tent shouted: "Report... Marshal, urgent military report!"
