To be honest, the food made by Huangfu Sisi himself actually tastes fair and not delicious, but it is absolutely not a toxic person. Feeding dogs is a bit poisonous.

But Gu Qing has always been tricky in taste. No matter what environment he is in, the most important thing is food. Huangfu Sisi's cooking skills are really despised. In his eyes, the food made by Huangfu Sisi is only suitable for feeding dogs, including but not limited to single dogs.

Gu Qing is not a single dog, he is a single nobleman, the true Diamond Old King.

He was very rude, and the guard stood at the door of the handsome tent and looked at Han Jie with help, trying to confirm whether the Marquis was joking. It was really hard to open his mouth to a charming girl with such poisonous words.

Han Jie sighed and waved to the personal guards, thinking that he would reply to the female shopkeeper according to the Marquis's original words. Han Jie had gradually understood Gu Qing's steel attributes.

"Marty, that female shopkeeper has a lot of intention to fall in love with you after all, why should you refuse her thousands of miles away?" Han Jie sighed.

Gu Qing frowned: "Which eye can you tell that she is interested in me? You can pick it up and donate it to people in need. The dishes she cooks are so unpalatable, it is clearly intentional. It is impossible for normal people to cook food so unpalatable."

Han Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Cooking depends on her talent. Maybe she doesn't have the talent to cook. This has nothing to do with whether she has any intentions for you. Do you don't deserve to like you if you cook too much? "

Gu Qing said slowly: "Theoretically, yes. It is a major flaw to cook but not to eat. If I follow my mate selection criteria, this flaw alone will be enough to deduct her as a negative score."

Han Jie couldn't help but say, "Are the two ladies of the Zhang family delicious to cook?"

Gu Qing was stunned. Zhang Huaijin's craftsmanship was at most helpful for him to add some charcoal when barbecuing. As for Zhang Huaiyu, her craftsmanship was even more shocking and inspiring ghosts. It was not only unpalatable, but also cost the kitchen.

If Gu Qing’s mate selection criteria are based on Gu Qing’s standards, the two young ladies of the Zhang family will probably not even be able to enter the first round of auditions, and at most they will only be granted a registration fee.

"Uh, no... different." Gu Qing looked around and said to him in embarrassment, pointing to the sky in surprise: "Huh? What is that in the sky? It's so dazzling..."

Han Jie said helplessly: "That's the sun...so, are the two ladies from the Zhang family delicious to cook?"

Gu Qing could not escape this topic, so he sighed: "It's not a question of whether it's delicious or not, but their fists will let me say unconscience-free words at any time. Even if it's not delicious, it must be delicious..."

Han Jie suddenly realized and looked at him sympathetically: "So that's it..."

Gu Qing said deeply: "Men who have experience in life understand that the essence of a wife cooking is to satisfy the sense of ritual between husband and wife. Whether it is delicious or not is not the point. The key is to praise her. No matter how bad she tastes, she must praise her. If you understand this principle, a man can avoid 99% of quarrels and troubles in this life. If you want to be quiet in your ears in your life, you must pay the price of being unconscience. In your slutty years, you are still too young."

Han Jie said in shock: "My general has known the Marquis for so long. The first time I heard the Marquis say such reasonable words, I admire him!My general has been taught."

Gu Qing smiled reservedly: "The connotation of a man does not need to be taken out to outsiders at all times. Superficial display cannot be called "connotation". The connotation is buried in the heart. You can deal with anything in life calmly and calmly, and you can calmly solve it and explain it with your own life experience."

Han Jie nodded vigorously, and then said in confusion: "What's strange is that the Marquis is obviously a woman who has never been close to her... Uh, commonly known as 'virgin', why are you so familiar with the way of getting along with husband and wife, and full of insights."

"I used to be a literary masterpiece called "Zhiyin"..." Gu Qing suddenly reacted, his face suddenly clouded: "Are you laughing at me? Han Jie, you are getting more and more drifting recently."

Han Jie hurriedly lowered his head: "My general dared not, butMy general made a mistake."

"Go to the school field to run ten laps, and then do two sets of exercise procedures. If you can't finish it, you are not allowed to have dinner today. This is my commander's military order, go quickly." Gu Qing said with a blank expression.

Han Jie said sadly: "Mr. Marquis, I am wrong..."

Gu Qing didn't raise his eyebrows and said, "Go quickly, do you understand the military orders?"

…………

Recalling is a habit that Gu Qing developed in his previous life, and it is a good habit.

Every time a big event occurs and after the solution is resolved, Gu Qing habitually summons the group team to review it, and re-discuss every detail and step when dealing with the matter, summarizing the experience and lessons from it. Gu Qing will take it out separately for the steps and decisions to make mistakes and discuss it repeatedly with his subordinates, and then remind himself and his subordinates not to make the same mistake next time.

The victory in Anxi Province wiped out more than 20,000 Tubo troops. Gu Qing had to review such a big incident. The first time commanding an army of more than 10,000 people to fight was also a brand new field for Gu Qing. After winning this battle by chance, there were too many things to summarize in it.

Beating drums gathered the generals, and the left guard and several generals of the Khotan army gathered in Gu Qing's tent.

A huge sand table was placed in the center of the commander's tent. The deployment and route of the enemy and our army were marked in detail with small red and white flags, as well as the attacking situation of the four ambushers on our side after the ambush was launched.

The review meeting has been going on for three days. Many lessons learned were summarized by the generals from the troublesome reviews. A civil servant sat next to him writing hard, writing the experiences summarized by everyone on paper.

The generals were surprised by Gu Qing's post-war review mode. He was very excited at first and kept talking. Later, Gu Qing started from scratch again and again. After all, the generals said everything they wanted to say, but they were empty and could not find anything. Gu Qing refused to let them go. In short, continue to review and summarize. After the review, we will have to carry out repeated sand table military exercises to restore the offensive and defensive situation on the battlefield at that time, and to separate the enemy and us to re-engage the ambush encounter according to their respective strategic ideas.

The process was very tedious, and the generals were tortured by Gu Qing. The ordinary soldiers outside were trained as usual, and even the training volume was increased by Gu Qing, and the ordinary soldiers were also exhausted.

This is Gu Qing's style of leading troops. He is strict and rigorous in the military, but it must be a bit humane. The decision-making level in the military aims to zero mistakes. During the mutual adjustment between the generals, the generals are allowed to make some minor mistakes that do not affect the overall situation. Until after the adjustment, the head coach and the generals reach a tacit understanding, and it is an efficient and invincible team.

"The ambush on both sides of the north and south have come out too early and has not completely achieved the effect of attacking them unprepared. If General Chang's ambush comes out first after seeing the signal from the Marquis, attack the enemy's vanguard. After General Chang completes a charge, the ambush on both sides of the north and south will take the opportunity to attack the Tubo central army. At that time, the morale of the opponent's army was in chaos. If two ambushes appear, they may not even be able to set up a defensive formation." A general pointed at the center of the ambush circle on the sand table.

Chen Tian lowered his head and said ashamedly: "The General of the Ultimate failed to block the enemy's retreat as promised, which led to the enemy's morale not being chaotic and he had the power to counterattack. The biggest mistake in this battle was caused by the General of the Ultimate..."

Gu Qing waved his hand: "It's not that anyone wants to admit his guilt now. We are discussing the gains and losses of this battle. We will not make the same mistake next time. Besides, General Chen failed to cut off the enemy's retreat as promised. No one expected to encounter a miscellaneous army near Kucha City. This is not your fault."

After pausing, Gu Qing suddenly asked, "I heard that the miscellaneous army left a living mouth. Have you ever interrogated it? Why did they appear near Kucha City? And it happened to be so coincidental that it appeared at the moment when the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo army were fighting."

Chen Tian said: "I interrogated a remnant of Tuqi Shi. He said that the scouts of this miscellaneous army had been following the Anxi army since Tubo captured the city of Yutian. When they saw the Anxi garrison in Kucha, they set up camp on the Chi River for two days. They waited patiently until we divided the troops with Gao Jieshou. Gao Jieshou led the troops to Yanqi City. We returned to Kucha City. After discussing the miscellaneous army, they decided to stay behind us and try to attack Kucha..."

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "That group of people is broad-minded and has a debt. Tuqi Shi and Shi Guo were both destroyed by Gaojieshang. If they don't take revenge on Gaojieshang, why do they come to find my bad luck?"

Chen Tian smiled bitterly and said, "That remnant said, "The high-ranking commander is good at destroying the country. They want to return the retribution to them. They want to destroy our Tang Dynasty. Even if they cannot destroy the country, they want to destroy our Protectorate. The Anxi Protectorate happens to be in Kucha. Their target is not someone, but Anxi Protectorate."

Gu Qing couldn't speak anymore, and felt a sense of grief and anger in his heart.

The logic of the remnants is not only clear, but also very touching. Gu Qing refuted silently.

It is a blessing to lose your horse.

Although Shen Tian missed the opportunity to fight and failed to seal the Tubo army's retreat in time, they luckily encountered this group of miscellaneous troops and strangled the buds that had just emerged in time in the cradle. It has to be said that this is more beneficial than disadvantages.

Otherwise, even if the Tubo army was perfectly annihilated, after the great victory, the group of miscellaneous troops suddenly attacked Kucha City while taking advantage of the exhausted and lazy mentality of the soldiers after the war. The final result is difficult to tell. Maybe Gu Qing would lose Kucha if he was careless, which would be a big bad thing for Gu Qing. Let's not talk about how Li Longji in Chang'an would react, Gu Qing, the left guard, would not be able to convince the public in front of them.

The majesty of the commander in an army is not as simple as loving soldiers and sharing the joys and sorrows. The soldiers stared at him countless pairs of eyes. What they wanted was that the commander could lead them to win battles and exchange them for the greatest victory at the smallest price. If Gu Qing, the marquis who commanded the battle for the first time, lost Kucha City, the soldiers below, would not say anything, and they would look down on him very much. In the future, they would become the worst soldiers Gu Qing had ever led.

If this group of miscellaneous troops attacked Kucha City and set fire, Gu Qing would never dare to imagine what the miserable situation would be like for the people in the city.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing couldn't help but pat Shen Tian on the shoulder and sighed: "Although I shouldn't say that, I still have to say that it's a good thing for you to encounter that miscellaneous army. Although there are sacrifices, it's worth it. You have eliminated a huge trouble for Kucha City."

Chen Tian said ashamedly: "The Marquis praised him."

"It's not a misappropriation, it's serious. I have discussed it with all the generals. Everyone agreed that Shen Tian was the first meritorious person in this battle. I have sent people to Chang'an with prisoners of war to send him to Chang'an. General Chen, please wait for His Majesty's reward."

Chen Tian showed a touch of emotion and bowed and clasped his fists: "The last general, Mr. Xie, thank you all the generals."

Chentian was really moved. In fact, there were factions in the army. Gu Qing's soldiers were all from the left guards of Chang'an, and his Chentian troops were defeated in the middle of the journey. In terms of status and factions, the Khotan army seemed to be shorter than the left guard soldiers.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qing didn't care about the faction at all, he only talked about military achievements in a realistic manner, and was able to be impartial and fair in front of his generals. Shen Tianwei was really surprised. At the same time, he became more and more admiring Gu Qing. Such a commander is worthy of his loyal follow.

Gu Qing said seriously: "From now on, there is no difference between the Left Guard and the Khotan army under my command. Everyone is the Anxi Army. I will not say anything like defending the territory and fighting against the enemy. I will only say one thing, I will not treat you badly. I will never favor the future you have made with your own hands, and I will never take favoritism or falsehood. If I do not do justice one day, and you feel wronged, you can come to me and slap the table and curse my mother, and I will never refute and argue."

When the generals heard this, they bowed and bowed in emotion: "The Marquis is fair and selfless, and I will thank you only."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Okay, they are all their own family, there is no need to give me a gift. I have not given you any money to you for thanking me many times. If you want to give me money, you can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

The generals laughed one after another.

Gu Qing sighed: "This review shows that we were still a little hasty when we launched an ambush. Moreover, when the enemy was in chaos, we started two rounds of charges and became in chaos. This is a problem of military governance. Generals will be more strict with the soldiers in the future. They will be strict with them on weekdays. When they arrive on the battlefield, they will avoid many unnecessary casualties. This is for their own good."

All the generals clasped their fists: "Yes."

"Also, our army's combat power is also a problem. I believe you can see that after our army launched a charge, it was not lethal enough to the enemy. Several rounds of charges were too small to kill the enemy, and the results were very little. This problem also needs to be solved at the moment. Well... I heard that our Tang Dynasty should have a legendary killing weapon..."

The generals looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of "a big killer weapon".

Seeing that everyone was confused, Gu Qing couldn't help but wonder: "Don't we have Mo Dao? Mo Dao Team, Mo Dao Camp, etc. I heard that the thing danced without leaking water. It was simply a meat-mincing machine on the battlefield. Whoever touched him would die? I have been in Kucha for so many days, why have I never seen Mo Dao?"

Chen Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "Marty, the last general knows the Modao team, and there is indeed a Modao team in the Anxi army..."

Gu Qing was overjoyed: "Where is it? Tell me quickly."

"In Shule Town, Shule Governor's Office."

Shule Town is also one of the four towns in Anxi, bordering the Dashi Empire, and its main target of defense is Dashi, which is far from Kucha City, so few soldiers and horses mobilize each other, which are almost independent of the four towns in Anxi, so Gu Qing is unfamiliar with Shule.

"Modao Team is in Shule Town? How many people are there?"

Chen Tian said: "The recruitment of troops by Modao team is too harsh. People with high strength and quick response can only enter. Therefore, although our four Anxi towns are the most important defense line in the west of the Tang Dynasty, the Modao team is not crowded, with about 300 people. Moreover, it costs a lot of money and food to support a Modao team. The Anxi Protectorate is too tight to support too much."

Gu Qing said happily: "The problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, not targeting anyone. You are welcome to say that when it comes to making money, everyone here is happy..."

The generals smiled bitterly. The marquis was sometimes kind and sometimes stern, and they were all very good. The only thing was that they sometimes didn't understand the words, and some new words often popped up in their mouths. What is this so-called "lei"? It doesn't sound like a good word...

"I believe you all heard it. That's right. I was praising you just now. Don't belittle yourself... General Chen, what is the matter of Modao Team? "

Chen Tian thought for a while and said, "It is mainly for eating and using. The Modao team is tall and strong, and has a large appetite. Moreover, since they have to wield more than 20 kilograms of Modao, they cannot stop once they are activated. It requires a lot of effort. Therefore, the soldiers of the Modao team must eat meat for every meal. A Modao team of 300 people eat more than 20 sheep every day, and must not be interrupted. The Anxi Protectorate's Office can afford to pay the imperial court..."

"Besides, the Modao they used is different from the horizontal swords and barrier swords used by ordinary soldiers. Modao is made of pig iron of the best material and tempered hundreds of times. Building a Modao requires countless craftsmen and countless pig iron. This is also a big expense. The financial and material resources of the four towns of Anxi can only afford the Modao team with 300 people, but the Modao team cannot be easily mobilized. They must stick to Shule Town and prevent the big food in the west."

After hearing this, Gu Qing felt a little regretful and unwilling to accept it.

In previous history books, he heard about the power of the Modao Team. If there is a Modao Team in an army, it can sometimes even reverse the entire battle situation. Once Modao is activated, it will be a machine that can crush anyone and anything in the world. The so-called "like a wall blocking, people and horses are shattered", and its combat power and lethality are the best in the world.

Such a sharp army would be ridiculous for Gu Qing to have to abolish it because he had no money.

Can shortage of money be a big deal? Others can point at the nose to scold Gu Qing for not being able to fight. Gu Qing accepted it and endured it, but if others point at the nose to scold him for not being able to make money, then they must turn against each other.

Gu Qing held back the excitement in his heart and asked carefully and tentatively: "If... money is not a problem, can the Modao Team expand?"

Chen Tian was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "It can be expanded, but it is very limited. If you don't consider the money at all, selecting people is also a problem. There are not many people in the entire Anxi military strength, and there are not many strong people. Modao team must choose one in a hundred. It took several years for the 300 Modao team in Shule Town to gather together. It was originally five hundred people. The coach of the high court battled with Dashi in the two days ago, and it was lost by 200. General Li was so distressed that he secretly cried in the barracks for several days..."

Gu Qing blinked and said, "Who is General Li?"

"Oh, he is the military envoy of Shule Town. He was appointed as the General of the Right Jinwu. During the Battle of Talas, he was promoted to the envoy of Shule Town because of his contribution to blocking the enemy. Now he is ordered to guard Shule Town. This time he attacked Tubo, he did not use the troops of Shule Town, so the marquis had never seen him."

"You have been introducing it for a long time, but you haven't said what his name is yet."

Chen Tian laughed: "It was the last general who was negligent. General Li was named Li Siye. He was seven feet tall and strong. He was particularly good at Modao. He was familiar with Modao warfare and practice. The Modao team in Shule Town was trained by General Li himself."

Gu Qing blinked, Li Siye... a familiar name.

Anyone who hears a familiar name must be a famous general who has a name in history books and must come to the bowl.
