Step on a branch

Chapter 374
The autumn wind is rustling.

Autumn outside the customs comes very early.

When Mao Gu'an came out of the general's mansion early in the morning, he was blinded by a gust of wind.

He was speechless.

Speaking of which, he has also been stationed at Feimenguan for so many years, and he is supposed to have gotten used to the climate in the northwest, but he was also blown by the strong autumn wind here so that his hair almost fell apart.

unlucky...

He cursed in his heart.

After thinking about it, the land under his feet is Xizhou City, the city they have been thinking about for so long, Mao Gu'an immediately stopped scolding.

Instead, he muttered "refreshing".

With Xizhou in his hands, Yu Bai's former mansion naturally became Mao Gu'an's current general's mansion.

Of course, if you are alone, it doesn't matter if you live in a house or not, you will live in a house, and the rest will be distributed to the people in charge of your subordinates.

The war has come to an end, but they still have a lot of follow-up matters.

A chief bookkeeper chased him out and said, "Xiliang basically agreed to the conditions proposed before, and only asked us the time to hand over."

Mao Gu'an stroked his beard.

Return Shi Wei and other well-known Xiliang generals' bodies and weapons, and also send back the prisoners detained in Feimenguan. Xiliang handed over a large amount of gold and silver property for this purpose.

The two imperial courts reached an agreement, and Xiliang became a vassal. From the standpoint of the Great Zhou, of course, the more the better.

But what Mao Gu'an thought was that once Xiliang became a subject, it would not be easy to start another war in the next few years.

Xiliang was able to take a breather. The current emperor of Xiliang is a worthless coward, but the future is uncertain. When Xiliang recuperates and recovers, will Mao Gu'an still be able to wield a big sword?
Furthermore...

Mao Gu'an looked east subconsciously.

Duke Ding, that's not right, it's the grandson of the emperor, who is about to fight for the throne, and right now he really can't make trouble in the western region, making everyone stretched.

However, after the emperor's grandson seized the throne and sorted out the major affairs of the court, whether he would reconsider the war in the western region, or stop here and focus on restoring internal affairs, General Mao was not sure about this.

It's not just him, Mao Gu'an thought, the emperor grandson himself probably doesn't have an accurate number now.

The situation in the court is changing, and the specific measures depend on whether the seizure of the throne goes smoothly, and how the gains and losses are.

If the losses were heavy and the vitality of the Great Zhou was hurt, then they would not be able to go to war; if they won successive victories and entered the imperial city smoothly, then Xiliang shouldn't be left behind as a trouble.

Mao Gu'an squinted his eyes and looked at the sky: "The wind is so strong. I think autumn is early and winter is early. Once winter comes, why should I exchange captive gold and silver? I am afraid that the gold and silver will be blown away by me in the snow. You Listen to me, since there is no rush in the capital, we will bargain with Xiliang again, and when it snows, tell them to come back next year. Anyway, we will not starve our prisoners in Dazhou, and we will not break up those rations with him."

Master book: ...

The rations are not broken, so what is there to bargain for?
After Mao Gu'an finished speaking, he also tasted some strange things.

His face was slightly red, and he hurriedly added: "This is called 'catch the big and let go of the small'."

After finishing speaking, leaving the master to stand outside the general's mansion, Mao Gu'an walked forward quickly, until he reached the foot of the city wall, and went up the steps.

The wind was stronger on the walls.

The banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty was blown up by the wind, and the soldiers defending the city stood upright.

Looking at the scenery, Mao Gu'an immediately felt refreshed.

so good.

He is guarding here now, until next spring, there must be a saying in the capital.

Of course, it is also clear how to decide the follow-up with Xiliang.

Until then, just hold off.

Although the act of destroying alliances is a common method throughout the ages, it doesn't sound good.

It is even more taboo for the grandson of the emperor to seize the throne and ascend the great treasure for the first time.

If you want to make a bottom line, it's better not to make a covenant.

A messenger ran up from under the city wall and handed a letter to General Mao.

"Sent from Feimenguan?" General Mao glanced at the seal, and Liu Ben's seal was stamped on the bottom. He took out the paper and unfolded it.

The handwriting on it was very unfamiliar to him.

Looking at the signature, the name "Xie Yu" seems to have been heard before, but it seems not.

Looking at the content carefully, General Mao's eyes couldn't help but widen.

This is a call to action against the Yan family in Qiyang.

Mao Gu'an is a martial artist, and he doesn't understand those literati skills, but he still feels the majestic power of words.

He was shocked by the things written above, but also inspired by the appeal in this text.

Although, Mao Gu'an only promised that Marquis Yongning would not get involved in the battle for the throne, and he would guard his western territory, but with the change of owner of Xizhou City, and Marquis Yongning's return to Beijing, Mao Gu'an's heart sank a little bit. , is still biased.

Unfortunately, when he saw this proclamation, he also wanted to roll up his sleeves and charge.

Mao Gu'an put away the letter and said, "I'll take it first, and post it at the gate of the city later."

After going down the tower, Mao Gu'an went to find Mrs. Dingguo.

It has been some time since the old lady and Qiaoyu arrived in Xizhou City.

Liu Ben sent people to escort them, and also communicated with Mao Gu'an, allowing them to live safely in Xizhou City.

They walked around the city every day, feeling the vitality of the city, and heard Lin Xuan's name from many people.

Some old people who always considered themselves to be the people of the Great Zhou wiped their tears and said that if Lin Xuan hadn't died of illness, they would have been able to return to the rule of the Great Zhou long ago.

Although Yu Bai was kind to everyone in the city when he was in office, he is from Xiliang after all.

There were also some who regarded themselves as common people in Xiliang, talking about Yu Bai's difficulties, unwilling to make a living in the hands of Zhou people, and unable to leave their homeland.

After all, it is a city that has changed hands, and various ideas are mixed together.

Qiaoyu listened to and thought a lot with the old lady, and she gained new experience every day.

Hearing the knock on the door, she came to open the door for Mao Gu'an.

Mao Gu'an didn't go into the courtyard, and only handed her the call to action.

Qiaoyu took it in and showed it to the old lady.

After the old lady finished reading, she didn't speak for a long time.

She knew about Qi Yang's situation before, but she never expected that Lin Fan and the others could make Xie Yu write.

What moved Xie Yu was not gold, silver, or future, but Qi Yangyan's misbehavior, and his teacher-student friendship with Lin Xuan.

Qiaoyu's gaze also fell on the word "Xie Yu".

Of course she knew the name.

In the past few years, during the new year's festival, the mansion would receive annual gifts from Guanzhou.

There is nothing valuable, just specialties and food, which are very similar to the greetings between teachers and students, even if the gentleman has passed away for more than ten years.

After they escaped and passed the border of Guanzhou, she heard the name again from the eldest princess.

All of them did not dare to bet against Xie Yu's position, and tried every means to avoid the checkpoint.

It was the prefect Xie Yu who wrote this article.

The teacher's kindness is indeed heavy, but the person who is the teacher must not have thought of today when he mentioned Xie Yu back then.
