Chapter 600 Cooperation
In the main hall of Guo Biejia's official residence in the back street of the State Yamen, two men, one old and one young, were sitting opposite each other and drinking.

"Haha, haha~~ Happy, really happy!"

Dong Da held a shallow wine bowl in one hand, and slapped his thigh with the other, laughing so hard that half of the wine in the bowl was spilled.

He also didn't care, and continued to laugh and said: "Hahaha, Uncle, your hands are really good! Tsk tsk, that Cui family boy must be screaming with anger at this moment, jumping to settle accounts with us, right?"

"Hmph, what is this, it's just a small reward!"

It is said that Guo Jizu, who suffered from an old illness and was supposed to rest, sat on a bed with a big horse and a golden knife, raised his hand, and drank the wine in the wine bowl in one gulp.

Xu Shi's action was too heroic, the wine dripped down his chin and onto the lapel of his clothes, he wiped his chin with the back of his hand nonchalantly, and habitually held out the empty bowl.

Seeing this, the pupils of Dong Da's laughing eyes shrank slightly, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye. He dropped his wine bowl, grabbed the wine jar, and respectfully came to Guo Jizu's side to pour wine for him.

"Oh? Uncle, do you have a more powerful and clever method behind you?"

After pouring the wine, Dong Da went back to his bed and sat down again. He didn't serve any more wine, put his hands on his knees, and asked curiously with a serious face.

Guo Jizu didn't answer directly, but took a few more sips, and between drinking, he directly twisted some side dishes with his hands and threw them into his mouth, chewing vigorously.

While chewing, he also commented, "Well, this wild boar bream is well done, it's strong and full of flavor, and it's just right to go with wine!"

The smile on Dong Da's face froze, and then he seemed to think of something, picked up the wine jar, and stood directly beside Guo Jizu, like a competent servant, refilling wine and serving dishes for him from time to time.

After going on like this for a while, Guo Jizu let out a loud belch, and then said: "It's nothing, that kid Cui came prepared, but we underestimated the enemy and were unprepared, that's why we suffered at the gate of the city. However, my old Guo is not a no-brainer, he can investigate me, but I can't investigate him?"

Dong Da listened to him talking nonsense for a long time, but he still didn't get to the point, and was about to interrupt him, when suddenly he saw a young boy running over sweating profusely from outside.

Before the boy raised his voice to reply, Guo Jizu had already opened his voice and shouted: "Xiao Liu, you monkey bastard, get out of here!"

Hearing this, the servant was not annoyed, he rolled in happily, saluted hastily, and said: "Hehe, let's not drive too hard, we can recognize the slave just by the sound of footsteps."

Guo Jizu was gnawing on a roast leg of lamb in his hand, when he heard what the young man said, he threw the gnawed bone at him, and scolded him with a smile: "You are really smart when you say you are a monkey boy. That's fine, don't Nonsense, hurry up and talk."

Speaking of this, Guo Jizu glanced at the expressionless Dong Da from the corner of Guo Jizu's eyes, and added: "Maybe let Captain Dong see what you are capable of. You have been promoted to Zhechong Mansion as a guard!"

This sounded like a joke, but Dong Da knew that Guo Jizu had raised conditions with him again.

Damn, this old dog really doesn't suffer at all, no matter what time it is, he never forgets to put people around him.

Not only could he not refuse, but he also accepted it cheerfully.

Enduring all kinds of unhappiness in his heart, Dong Da cooperatively looked up and down the boy named Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu was really clever, seeing this, he quickly bowed to Dong Da, and introduced himself: "Nu Xiao Liu was originally a wandering beggar (that is, a beggar), who had no food and clothing, and almost died of illness that winter. Fortunately, Bie Jia took him in, not only survived his life, but also lived a good life with enough food and clothing.

Originally, I wanted to serve Biejia for the rest of my life, but Biejia said that a good man should gallop on the battlefield, and besides, I, my parents both died in the Eastern Turkic Rebellion more than ten years ago, so I also want to—”

As he was talking, Xiao Liu choked up sobbing hard, and there were still crystal drops of water hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Dong Da was not moved at all, he looked at Xiaoliu with a complicated expression, and then at Guo Jizu, wondering what he didn't understand.

Guo Jizu stuffed Xiaoliu, who was deeply favored by him and had no family, to his side. Was it surveillance or surveillance?

Wanting to find a proper reason to refuse, besides Guo Jizu's hard pass, Xiao Liu also gave an excuse that made sense everywhere - to avenge his parents.

You said, can he reject a good boy who is sincere and filial?

No!

Therefore, Dong Da pretended to be touched, and nodded, "Well, he is a good and sensible boy. Well, if you don't want to be willing, I will have the audacity to pry back into Uncle's corner. And you, come to my place Finally, practice your skills, there will always be a day when you will avenge your parents and serve the court!"

The He Lu Department moved frequently. As the captain stationed in the west, Dong Da still knew about it.

In fact, not only Dong Da knew it, but Guo Jizu also knew it well. They all understood that the Western Turks would invade Tang sooner or later.

Guo Jizu was in a hurry to run the new governor away this time, because he was also thinking that if there was no governor in Shanzhou, there would be someone like him to take his place temporarily, and then he would be able to perform well in the Western Turkic War and establish a new leader. For merit or something, at least he took off the hat of 'second in command'.

After all, he was a person who followed the first emperor to the battlefield. The old man who ate with him in the same pot had to be made a duke of the country, or defend one side. When the new king ascended the throne, he was also a powerful minister of the humerus.

Only myself...

Well, although this result is probably "made" by himself, but, but that was more than ten or twenty years ago. Today, he is no longer the bandit leader who killed and surrendered recklessly, but a man who wanted to An old man who worked hard to earn a future for his children and grandchildren.

Stuffing Xiao Liu into the Zhechong Mansion was just one of Guo Jizu's many plans. Although Dong Da was single-handedly promoted, he is bound to have selfish motives, and according to his recent observations.This stinky boy, despite his good temper, actually started to make small calculations.

Guo Jizu absolutely could not tolerate being plotted against by his own confidants.Therefore, he sent Xiao Liu there, firstly to install his cronies, and secondly to beat Dong Da.

Now it seems that Dong Da understands his beating, very good, Guo Jizu took a sip of wine in satisfaction, turned to Xiaoliu and said: "Did you hear, Dong Duwei accepted you, you monkey boy Hurry up and kowtow to thank you."

Xiao Liu quickly knelt down and saluted.

Dong Da waved his hand, indicating that he doesn't need to be polite.

Guo Jizu said again: "Okay, let's start talking about business. Xiao Liu, tell me, what did you find out in the back streets of the state capital?"

Xiao Liu got up, bowed and stood beside Guo Jizu, and said in a low voice: "The Cui family's steward is surnamed Cui, and he is an old man of the Cui family for several lifetimes. He brought eight aides, four of whom were members of the Cui clan, and four were students of Jiwei College. Oh, I have also inquired about that Jiwei College. I heard that it was run by the Cui family. Mrs. Guo is the head of the mountain..."

Xiao Liu reported the results of his day's hard work in an orderly manner, only to hear Dong Da's eyes widen. Damn, this kid really has two brushes. Some of the things about the governor are still very cryptic things about the inner house.

Compared to Dong Da's shock, Guo Jizu was much calmer. He squinted his eyes and continued to chew the deer preserved meat slowly.

Xiao Liu was still reporting: "...This morning, a woman came to greet the governor. I saw that her attire seemed to be from the local area, so I went to inquire. It turned out that she was from the Cheng family in Xizhou. "

"The Cheng family? But Cheng Chuyun, the deputy capital guard of the Anxi Protectorate Mansion?"

Hearing this, Guo Jizu opened his eyes abruptly, a pair of dim old eyes sparkled: Is it possible that the Cui family boy is still related to the Cheng family?
Guo Jizu dared to bully Cui Youbo because he had mansion soldiers who could be mobilized, but if Cui Youbo had the Cheng family as his support, then the situation would be troublesome!
Xiao Liu nodded and said: "That's right, it's the vice capital guarding Cheng's family. I have inquired about it, and it turned out that Cheng Chuyun's eldest son married Cui Ze's granddaughter, Cui Sanlang's daughter of Cui Zhongbo's, who is also Cui Langjun's niece."

Seeing Guo Jizu's ugly face, Xiao Liu thought for a while and added: "However, after Uncle Cui came out as his successor, he didn't have close contacts with the Cheng family."

Guo Jizu was contemplating for a while, and then he ordered: "Okay, I know everything, you have done a good job in this job, go to the housekeeper to get a good horizontal knife. In addition, hurry up to pack your luggage and wait a while. When Captain Dong returns to the camp, you go with him!"

When Xiao Liu heard this, he lay down on the ground excitedly, kowtowed a few times, and kept saying Xie En's words.

After dismissing Xiao Liu, Guo Jizu said to Dong Da: "What do you think?"

Dong Da also pondered for a long time, and when he heard Guo Jizu's question, he considered his words and said, "Well, I didn't expect that the new governor and the Cheng family are related by marriage. However, my subordinates saw Cheng Cheng as the deputy governor, and he and his capital's Uncle has a temperament, on the surface he looks reckless and straightforward, but he is actually quite scheming. He may not be willing to fully support his daughter-in-law's next-door uncle."

Hearing this, Guo Jizu squinted his eyes and thought over and over again, and finally nodded slowly, "You are right, he is also an old fox, and he is usually fine with a little help, but if it is a large-scale borrowing of troops, unless the Cui family can come up with a huge Otherwise, Cheng Chuyun would absolutely refuse."

Cui Youbo had also heard about the nature of this in-law, but this time he approached the Cheng family not for help, but for cooperation.

On this day, Cheng Hong and Cui Lan, who received Uncle Cui's reply, rushed to Huangshui with a cart full of gifts and a team of attendants.

Uncles and nephews greet each other naturally, but after all, men and women are different, Cui Lan and Cui Youbo asked about some family matters, and then went to the inn to rest.

Cui Youbo took Cheng Hong's hand and went to the study to talk together.

Before getting down to business, Cui Youbo greeted all members of the Cheng family as usual, and then conveyed the greetings of his father and third brother to his in-laws.

After the two greeted each other, Cui Youbo didn't hesitate, and went straight to the point. He took out a roll of white paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Cheng Hong.

Cheng Hong took a look and was stunned, "Uncle, you are..."

Cui Youbo smiled slightly, and said: "It's very simple, you lend me a thousand soldiers, and I will pass it on to you..."
