Guo Shao left the Sanqing Hall and immediately asked someone to find out the seal of the Grand Marshal of the World's Military and Horses, and picked up his pen and wrote two words on the strategy of Cao Bin's contribution: Accurate.There is no change in Cao Bin's strategy.

Just wait for court tomorrow and give Cao Bin permission in public.The Grand Marshal of the World's Military and Horses is not a military post, but a temporary dispatch; he promised to grant him an official position and a new title after Cao Bin finished his work.

Guo Shao decided on this matter and stood up and reflected on it several times.Then he walked to the side of a large picture on the wall, and subconsciously stared at the place in Youzhou.

...In the north of Youyun, there are two big characters written: Liao Kingdom.The large area occupied a large paper surface on it, like a huge dark cloud pressing over the map!This made Guo Shao feel inexplicably stressed.

Below, the area of ​​the large circumference is the largest, but the surrounding lines are complex.

Guo Shao determined that the two major countries would eventually be divided into the places of Youyun provinces.This land is related to the national destiny; this land is related to the sense of security.It doesn't matter who it should belong to, it's just that neither country can be discarded.

If Youyun is abandoned in the Central Plains, it is like a person exposing his chest in front of a strong enemy who is holding his strength; if Youyun is abandoned in the Liao Kingdom, it will lose a large amount of supply of agricultural and urban materials that can withstand blood transfusions, and there will be no longer an offensive base, and the decline of the country's destiny is inevitable.

The Northern Expedition at the beginning of this year was quickly over, and both sides may find it impossible to simply solve the problem of this place by cutting the mess quickly; a temporary truce is brewing a bigger competition!

Guo Shao looked at the dark cloud-like place on his head, wondering what the Liao Kingdom was doing now... It can be guessed that they are also busy dealing with internal issues.

Guo Shao is now busy solving internal problems and wants to accumulate more strength.The two countries must compete in the sixteen states of Youyun, but the battlefield is not only on the front line, and the internal and behind the problems are the key.

This year, Guo Shao has high hopes for one of Cao Bin's actions; he turned his attention to the northwest again... There was a blank space, and the people who painted the picture did not know much about the specific situation, so they left it blank.

At this moment, Zuo You stood up from the chair, walked to the back of the screen, and clasped his fists and said: Your Majesty, look at this memorial, Lu Duosun is back.

oh?Guo Shao was looking at the gap in the northwest when news from Lu Duosun came.Turning around now.

Zuo You handed over the memorial and said: Lu Duosun has returned to the Great Zhou territory, and this memorial was sent back from Jingnan Army's fast horses.

Guo Shao said: As soon as Lu Duosun returns to Tokyo, he will immediately welcome him to the palace to meet.

……

Half a month later, the 25-year-old young civil servant Lu Duosun had only one military entourage, Di Fang, and finally rushed back to Tokyo.

He strangled his horse and stared blankly at the majestic Tokyo Tower, standing on the field like a mountain, and the long walls were like the Great Wall on the frontier.

Brother Lu, we have returned to the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom!Di Fang moved and said.

Lu Duoxun felt sad at this moment, and he couldn't say a word. His eyes were wet and gritted his teeth before he felt a slight salty throat.

When he went there, he brought a team of more than 100 guards and missions, as well as various ceremonial guards, and there were still two people left at this time.

He changed into a gray cloth dress. In order to get back as soon as possible, he slept in the wind and hung out on the road, his face was dusty, and his cheeks were so thin that he had a little sunken.

The young and handsome talent in the past seems to be ten years older now.

Lu Duosun reached out and touched his chest. He touched something. Then he let out a long sigh and kicked the horse and said: Let's go!

When he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city. A young general looked up and down at Lu Duosun and the other two, and then saw them holding the horse and asked: What are you doing in the city?

Lu Duosun hurriedly found the seal from the horse's back and said: I am the imperial official...

At this moment, a young general wearing bright clothes and armor shouted: Envoy Lu, Du Chenggui, the commander of the inner palace of the general, has been waiting for a long time.

Ludoson turned his head and looked, holding his fists.

Du Chenggui said: Please!

Lu Duosun led his horse through the hole in the wall and saw two rows of cavalry dressed in armor lined up beside the road. Du Chenggui shouted: Welcome Envoy Lu back to the court!

The soldiers neatly drew their swords and raised them, shouting Du Chenggui's words.

Lu Duosun was quite surprised, and felt warm and excited.

He was taken to a carriage with a little dizzy. Du Chenggui asked him to get on the carriage and said: Your Majesty sent me to welcome Envoy Lu, wanting to see you as soon as possible.

Lu Duosun had no time to prepare and was taken to the imperial city as soon as he entered the city.

The emperor's personal soldiers led the way and immediately drove straight to the north from the middle of the Imperial Street without any obstruction or trouble.

On the way, he kept thinking about how to speak when he was not doing his job well.

Then he entered Xuande Gate, went to the base of Jinxiang Hall, and went to the East Hall.

Lu Duosun waited outside the door for a while, and then he heard a eunuch singing: Xuan Lu Duosun’s visit!

He then bowed into the hall gate with a nervous and nervous mood. As soon as he entered the door, he saw about twenty civil and military officials standing on both sides of the highest position in the throne.Lu Duosun was stunned.

Wei Renpu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, said loudly: In ancient times, Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions, but now Lu Duosun fulfilled his mission!

Suddenly, more than twenty civil and military officials looked at each other, and their eyes were gathered on his face. Lu Duosun was suddenly excited, his face became hot, and he immediately raised his chest and plucked up his breath and walked steadily into the hall of Mingjingliang Hall from the middle.

...Guo Shao looked at the disheveled official and couldn't help but look back at the blank in the northwest on the big map on the wall.

Lu Duosun walked up to him and knelt on the ground in the face of the imperial case, saying loudly: I am ordered to go to Guazhou and return to your Majesty today.

Please get up quickly, Aiqing Lu.Guo Shao said.

Thank you for your kindness.Ludoson stood up.

He completely ignored the dirty clothes on his body, and untied his belt in public and pulled his outer robe.

Everyone looked at him without saying a word.

If he was not dressed or behaved rudely when facing the saint, he might be impeached by the court officials, but no one said anything about him at this time.

Ludoson then tore open a dead pocket on his underwear, took out a leather bag from it, and took out the paper wrapped in rolls one by one from it.

He held up his hands and said: I encountered two robberies on the way back, I... After saying that, his voice choked. This is the terrain and records of the various places in the Western Regions of Hexi. I only brought this back...

The eunuch Cao Tai walked forward, carefully picked up the paper, turned around and placed it on the imperial desk.

Guo Shao said: Who plundered the imperial envoys?

Lu Duoxun said: First there were Uighurs in Ganzhou, and then there were Dangxiang people on the west bank of the Yellow River.

He paused and said: The road to Guiyi Army was very smooth, but the place in Hexi was very cold at night, and several people were frozen to death.I met Cao Yuanzhong, the governor of the Guiyi Army, in Guazhou. Cao Yuanzhong set up a ceremony to worship in the eastern suburbs of Guazhou, and was the chief of His Majesty. He accepted the imperial court's title of the Marquis of Xiping, the Chief Prosecutor of the Chief Prosecutor, and the governor of the Guiyi Army.

Cao Yuanzhong treated his ministers with courtesy and presented them to the Western Regions and Hexi Map, and paid tribute to 200 good horses.I stayed in Guazhou for many days and wrote down what I saw and heard along the way, so I wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

He passed through Ganzhou (central region of Hexi Corridor) and was intercepted by the Uighurs.Later, the people who saw Cao Yuanzhong give him money, and the ministers and others finally got rid of them, and the people and the ceremonial guards were intact.

After hearing this, the ministers discussed it and said that the Uighurs were quite merciful. They asked Lu Duosun why he came back in this look, and someone asked about horses again?

Lu Duoxun bowed to the left and right and said: It’s not that the Uighurs are polite, but it’s really for Cao Yuanzhong.In the past, Ganzhou was also the jurisdiction of the Guiyi Army, and it was taken away by the Uighurs. The Guiyi Army fought many wars with the Uighurs, and there were many new and old grievances. However, after Cao Yuanzhong took over the Guiyi Army, he married and had good marriages with various tribes. He had a good relationship over the years and had a lot of trade and trade with each other, so the Uighurs would give Cao Yuanzhong face.

After hearing this, Guo Shao nodded and saw an official from the Hanlin Academy writing a quick record.

Lu Duoxun said again: I was back east and suddenly met the Dangxiang cavalry on the bank of the Yellow River.I asked the guide to explain that we were envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but we were just passing by here.

Unexpectedly, the Dangxiang people heard that we were envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty and did not give any room for negotiation. They rushed up with weapons without saying a word.My ministers' entourage and Guiyi Army guards fought to the death, but they were outnumbered.I didn't care about the good horses and ceremonial guards offered by the Guiyi Army, and focused on protecting the drawings and forcing me to cross the Yellow River. After crossing the river, I was the only follower Di Fang left...

Wei Renpu said annoyedly: Although there have been many wars in the Central Plains, they still have prestige in the hearts of the tribes.Those Dangxiang people knew that the war horses were tributes to the emperor, but they dared to blatantly kill and loot!

Guo Shao also sighed secretly, saying that he had a sense of self-knowledge. At this time, the Central Plains dynasty had not been able to enter the west for many years and had no impact on all tribes. How much prestige does it have?

Lu Duoxun said: I ran all the way to Jingzhou and learned that the Dangxiang people hated the Han people very much... It was because Feng Jiye (Hetao area), the governor of Shuofang in Lingzhou, changed his attitude after killing his brother and seizing the throne. He burned, killed and robbed the Dangxiang people from both sides all year round, which made the Dangxiang people very hated.No wonder people from Dangxiang knew that we were envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty and killed them when they came up.

Wang Pu said: The Dangxiang people mainly live in five prefectures such as Xiazhou. There are also Dangxiang tribes in the Hetao area of ​​the Yellow River; the one who attacked Lu Envoy should be the Dangxiang people of Hetao.Dangxiang, Xiazhou, was mainly a Tuoba tribe. He had changed his surname to Li and was always granted official titles by the Central Plains. His current leader was Li Yiyin. The late emperor (Chai Rong) gave him the title of Taifu and Zhongshu Ling, and was named King of Xiping. He was nominally surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and rarely had any trouble... However, Dangxiang in Xiazhou was a hidden danger.

Guo Shao suddenly realized that the Xixia Kingdom should be this place!

He looked through the files presented by Lu Doxun while listening to Lu Doxun telling about his experiences along the way.

Guo Shao praised: It is not easy for our ancestors to overcome all obstacles and open up the territory.Envoy Lu was not afraid of difficulties and dangers during this trip, and reopened our dynasty's vision of Hexi and the Western Regions, which had a great effect.We need people like Lu Envoy to regain our former reputation.
