The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 178: The sky is high and the emperor is far away

After half a day of walking.Guo Nuan's carriage entered Lingzhou Mansion.This is a fool.Westerners.Han people.Tucheng where Hui people mixed together.High rammed earth walls.There are also a large number of deep trenches dug outside the wall.Refuse the horse.Wooden pointed tree stump.And the boundless clear fields outside the city.It can be seen that this is a military city.

There are many Western Region trade caravans in Lingzhou City.Therefore, as soon as Guo Nuan and the others arrived in the city, they felt the strong atmosphere of Chinese and Western cultural customs.

"Selling lamb kebabs. Grilled sesame paste cakes..."

Earthen houses are lined up side by side.Leave the sidewalk in between.The city here is not too big.The resident population is tens of thousands.Most of them are soldiers stationed in nearby barracks.Or a businessman doing business.

Sparrows are small.But everything is perfect.Cattle, sheep and horses market.vegetable market.wine shop.small hotel.There is also a military supplies store.For example, ironware and knives are all available.If men need that demand.It was easy to find cheap prostitutes in remote shantytowns in slum alleys.

Guo Nuan took the letter of appointment brought by the capital and found the tallest government agency next to the loess square in the center of Lingzhou city.But now the town government office is only a three-story rammed-earth stone building.Guo Nuan met a town adjutant who was under the seventh rank.He learned that Guo Nuanshi came to work in the capital.His eyes were full of strange perplexity.Guo Nuan knew.On the eighth floor, the town adjutant thought he was an unlucky guy who was relegated from the metropolis.But Guo Nuan was indeed degraded.

"Well. Then send an order cavalry to lead you to the general barracks."

The town adjutant stamped an official seal similar to a postmark on Guo Nuan's pass.I yawned impatiently.He gave up on Guo Nuan and the others.He immediately called a young Hui cavalry.

Father Guo's barracks is still more than ten miles away from Lingzhou City.It is located in a plain surrounded by mountains on three sides and bordered by the water of the Yellow River.With the frequent transfer of troops in the past one or two years.Now there are more than 8 soldiers in the Shuofang General Military Region.The official name of the official military area is Shangzhechong Duwei's Mansion.The governor of Shuofang is also the Jiedushi. .Guo Ziyi is handsome.

"Yeah. It's the general barracks in front of me. The subordinates will resign."

The Hui cavalry led Guo Nuan's carriage bumped and bumped to a row of sharp wooden walls around it.A barracks with ten steps, one sentry and one post.Arrow towers are everywhere.Looking further away.The Yellow River Plain is indeed a stronghold surrounded by mountains on three sides.One side of the waterfront.Tens of thousands of war horses are grazing idlely on the natural horse grazing prairie.Quite spectacular.

"That's right. This is it. It's really desolate. The cheap father-in-law is so ruthless. Quack. Demotion came here."

Guo Nuan complained a little.Looking at the camp tents inside the wooden wall.There are also guards who are patrolling and guarding outside the gate of the big plank camp.

Guo Nuan and Ah Fu Dabiao were standing on a small slope a few miles away from the plain below and watching.Unexpectedly, a small group of ten or so men in armor stood up in the lush green grass at the foot of the slope.Soldiers with crossbows.

"Who is coming? Report your name."

There was a deafening and angry shout.A Fu, who was standing on the slope of the steeple, was so frightened that he almost lost his balance and rolled down the grass.

"Brother. Don't leave. We are our own people. Guo Nuan. The youngest son of your Generalissimo Guo Ziyi." Guo Nuan repeatedly stopped to curry favor and laughed.It attracted a burst of suspicion from the scouts.

"The son of the commander-in-chief is Zhang with such virtues as you. At first glance, he looks like an empty bag with embroidered pillows. It's useless."

An uncle who looked like a school captain sized Guo Nuan a few times.Can't help laughing.The scouts didn't see these three as hostile people.They collected their security weapons.After the first lieutenant waved his hand.The rest of the team members quickly scattered and lay in the lush grass to lurk.

"I'm really Guo Ziyi's son. Look. This Ba Zijun's face looks somewhat similar to your handsome man."

Guo Nuan chuckled.He untied the flagon from his waist and handed it to the captain.The gift of wine sets has almost achieved results.Guo Nuan then whispered to the school lieutenant, whispering.

"Is it."

The captain took a step back and looked carefully at Guo Nuan's face.Hey.This Guo Nuan really looks like his handsome man.

"No. A letter of appointment from the capital." Guo Nuan was afraid that he would not believe it.Take out the imperial edict and show it to him.

"Soldier Cao joins the army." The captain gave Guo Nuan a sad look.That expression is clearly: ah.This scholar is relegated to the eighth rank.

"Zhang Hu. Li Gang. You follow me back to the Governor's Mansion barracks. The rest of you will continue to stay where you are."

The captain's face paled.He clasped his fists and saluted the army: "I pay homage to my lord. Please follow me into the camp to meet the commander in chief."

Got it.Under the leadership of the three scouts.The three of Guo Nuan entered the barracks unimpeded.

"Report. Marshal. The sixth son of your family has arrived." A messenger hurriedly rushed into the account to report.

Guo Ziyi, who was tirelessly watching Sun Tzu's Art of War on the table, raised his piercing tiger eyes.The long beard suddenly raised.

"Come on. Let that kid in." He waved his big hand.

"No." The messenger was about to retreat.

Guo Ziyi seemed to remember something.He put down the thread-bound books on the Art of War and added: "Call the army in too. Just say that his sixth brother is here."

"As ordered. Commander."

. . . .

"Father. I miss you to death. Wow... I miss you soon... The child is not filial. Father... My dear father..."

Guo Nuan rehearsed his speech countless times in his heart.But he really couldn't think of the right words to say. .

He walked into the tent nervously.Legs go limp.The general sitting cross-legged on the blanket next to this case.The physique was surprisingly strong.Wide back and thick waist.Robust muscles could not be concealed under the cover of the robe.

A ray of light came.That tiger eye.Jianmei.His facial features are as resolute as a knife.Except for the temples which are a little whitish.Guo Nuan was amazed.This cheap old man is really mighty and unusual.

In the quiet camp there are only two father and son.Guo Nuan stood in the tent and Guo Ziyi, who was sitting cross-legged on the desk, was more than ten feet away.The two looked at each other quietly.

"Uh. Father...Father. My son, here I am. Greetings to you."

Guo Nuan felt a little guilty.After all, he is a fake.A fake from time travel.Guo Ziyi, the powerful general in Kyushu, has been enshrined on the altar and incense burner by the common people countless times.An epic legend who is about to become a god.Guo Nuan was really worried that this cheap old man would find out that he was a fake with his general air.

"Yes. Sit down." Guo Ziyi pointed to a bench next to her.

"Oh..." Guo Nuan was intimidated by Father Guo's aura of a powerful superior.He obediently found a stool and sat down like a good boy.Sad reminder.I didn't expect the father to be so unfamiliar and reserved when meeting his own son.If it weren't for Guo Nuan's deep knowledge of the virtuous and virtuous mother Wang, it would be impossible for her to have an affair.It is absolutely impossible to steal a man's wild seed behind the back of old man Guo.Otherwise, he really suspected that Guo Nuan, who committed suicide in his predecessor, had some unknown origin.

"Your mother is good." Guo Ziyi picked up the volume of Art of War and looked at it casually.Suddenly inserted a sentence.

"Good. Very good. Eat well. Sleep soundly. You are in great health." Guo Nuan quickly answered.

"How is the princess?" Guo Ziyi smiled slightly and turned a page of the book before saying something indistinctly.

"Okay. Okay. I don't know how affectionate I am. I never quarrel."

Guo Nuan was a little surprised.Mouth cheap.Talking to the old man actually has a flattering meaning.Like a dog leg.He couldn't help despising himself for a while.

"My granddaughter's name is Guo Xiang. Hmm..." Guo Ziyi stroked his long beard meaningfully.There was a loving smile on his lips.

"Guo Xiang is great." Repeated.

Guo Nuan, who was sitting in a corner of the tent, was rather depressed.The old man didn't smile when he saw his own son.When the granddaughter was mentioned, Lu smiled.It's really eccentric.

"Okay. Okay. Two nannies are needed every day. Otherwise, the milk produced by one nannie is not enough. Quack."

Guo Nuan repeatedly nodded his head up and down as if he had beaten chicken blood.

"Haha. Good. Very comforting." Guo Ziyi clapped his hands and laughed.He stroked his beard more vigorously.

"Report. Governor Guo is here."

There was a high-pitched and loud call from the guards outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, the curtain outside the tent was raised.A handsome man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, Shi Shiran, stepped in.

"You..." Guo Nuan immediately stood up excitedly.He stepped forward and exaggeratedly held the hand of the handsome man in front of him: "Second brother, Guo Yan."

"Hehe. What. There are no rules. The second brother is the second brother. He even read his name." Guo Yan laughed.He heartily hugged Guo Nuan's little brother.

"Sixth brother. How many years have you not seen your second brother. When the second brother first rushed to the border to join the army, your head was not even up to my shoulders." Guo Yan looked very happy.The brothers have not seen each other for many years and are full of emotion.

"A few years. Four or five years." Guo Nuan sighed in surprise.

"No, no. It's only 11 years." Guo Yan laughed and said something abruptly, leaving Guo Nuan completely speechless.

Grandma's.It takes 11 years to reunite with a second brother.Wouldn't it take 100 years for the reunion of the ten families to have a chance?Guo Nuan clicked his tongue.

"I heard that you were relegated from Leizhou and moved back to Chang'an a few months ago. It didn't take long for you to stab Lou Zi again. This time you were relegated to Shuofang."

After the brothers greeted each other.Guo Nuan and his second brother immediately sat down on a stool by the tent.Guo Ziyi's face turned pale.I raised my eyebrows.He began to settle Guo Nuan's old accounts.

"Uh... It's just that a very annoying Tubo woman caused trouble. She had to be demoted and came to Shuofang."

Guo Nuan's cold sweat immediately flowed down from his forehead and down his cheeks.The general majesty of this cheap old man can be full of aura.Guo Nuan, who had just met, was a little uncomfortable.

Guo Ziyi pondered for a moment.Guo Nuan originally thought that the storm was about to pour down.Unexpectedly, the old man changed his subject: "Yeah. But the Tubo princess is quite presumptuous. What you did is not a disgrace to our old Guo family."

"Hey ~ yes. The baby is not ashamed." Guo Nuan almost collapsed.The father's temper is unpredictable.He couldn't figure it out in a short time.

"A few days before the sixth brother was in the capital, the postman sent a report. At that time, my father was very angry at the Tubo people's rioting in the Jingzhao government office. It's a pity that he was at the Shuofang border. Otherwise, the second brother really I can't wait to kill the lawless Tubo people with my sixth brother on that day."

The second brother hastily added a sentence.What Guo Ziyi said was smooth.The look in Guo Nuan's eyes softened a lot.

In the past, Guo Nuan, as a descendant of the Guo family, was the most unpromising soft-hearted scholar.Guo Ziyi really had a headache.Although the six sons are not required to become dragons and phoenixes among people.But it also made his six sons hate iron but steel.Especially when she just married Princess Shengping.How many times have you committed suicide.Guo Ziyi couldn't even count accurately.Now the second brother sees that Guo Nuan is doing things very kindly this time.How can the second brother not give the little brother a good word in front of Guo Laopa.It's good to change your impression.

"You should join the army as Cao Bing when the emperor takes office." Guo Ziyi suddenly mentioned Guo Nuan's appointment.

"Yes. Father." Guo Nuan's expression turned solemn.He got up and respectfully marched.

"From now on. See me in the barracks and on the battlefield. Change the name to the commander or the governor. Do you understand?" Guo Ziyi suddenly said coldly.

"Yes. Commander." Guo Nuan subconsciously stood at attention and reported loudly.

"Okay. Go to Xiazhe and report to the barracks. Start from recruits. Cao Shen will be dismissed." Guo Ziyi nodded in satisfaction and continued.

"Father, this. Didn't the emperor appoint the sixth younger brother to have an official position? Why are you depriving the sixth younger brother of his official position?" Guo Yan immediately became anxious.He stood up and said.

"Drink. Do you have any objections? Guo Dushen." Guo Ziyi has now changed into the posture of the Generalissimo of the Jiedu Envoy and gave his second son Guo Yan a hard look.

"Second brother... I don't care. My father did this to let me start from the grassroots. It's for training." Guo Nuan tugged on the sleeve of the second brother and whispered.

"Sixth brother. But... how can you endure this suffering..." The second brother hesitated to speak.Eyes flushed.

"Marshal, resign from your humble position." Guo Nuan respectfully said with a faint smile.Immediately back down slowly.
