If you do things in a timely manner, you must first determine peace and then seek prosperity.

Gu Qing had already had a clear idea, and he even set time for the next few decades.

The war is cruel, but it is also the easiest to solve. Its cycle will not be too long. After Shi Siming was wiped out, all that was left was the army of the vassal states summoned by Li Heng. This was Li Heng's last trump card and the last war in the Tang Dynasty.

After this battle, what Gu Qing had to do was to consolidate the court, to scrutinize the local governments, to replace fresh blood in all parts of the world, to rejuvenate the atmosphere, and to lay the foundation for the prosperous era from the root.

As for how long will the prosperous era come, Gu Qing is not blindly optimistic about this.

There are too many things that need to be solved in this life, such as the corruption of the administration, the extravagance of the powerful, the power of the aristocratic families, the collapse of the land system, etc., everything is a very difficult matter. Gu Qing even feels that he may not be able to do it thoroughly throughout his life, and some root problems may be left to the next generation.

There is no way, Gu Qing is just a mortal, not a god. What he can do is to try to make use of the knowledge of his previous life to avoid detours in the Tang Dynasty and not make stupid mistakes.

What Gu Qing wants to solve now is to use a war to completely determine the world and exhaust the last trump card in Li Heng's hand.

In the afternoon, batches of war horses stopped in front of the county prince's mansion, and the Anxi generals came to the door with their respective guards.

Gu Qing stood in front of the palace to greet him. When he saw that the generals came over, the guards were holding the horses, and they were walking honestly. Gu Qing couldn't help but smile.

When the generals saw Gu Qing standing in front of the door, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Gu Qing looked around the generals and said with a smile: "You didn't stand in Chang'an City, are you?"

Chang Zhong shook his head and said, "The generals and others abide by the rules set by the prince. They dare not be domineering in the city and ruin the reputation of the Anxi Army. They walked all the way from entering the city gate."

The other generals agreed.

Gu Qing smiled happily and said, "Okay, only if we have awe of the people in our hearts can we go far and the people will be invincible."

After saying that, Gu Qing waved to everyone and said, "Let's go and talk in detail."

He led the generals into the front hall of the mansion. After Gu Qing sat down, they each sat down.

The palace maids in the mansion quickly brought various snacks, as well as the tea made from fried tea made by Gu Qing. The generals curiously looked at the tea leaves rising and falling in the boiling water, and then looked at each other, wondering what a novel thing this was.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Drinking the tea inside is to look at the personal hobby of the brewed tea. If this thing is passed on to the barbarian country in the West, the nobles often pour out the tea and take out the tea inside as snacks. Well, it can be regarded as a plate of tiger dishes, which tastes crispy."

The generals laughed, then carefully picked up the cup, sipped a sip of the hot tea, and grinned because of the scalding.

After tasting the tea, the generals had different expressions. They were not used to the novel things for a while. They smacked their lips and felt that it was a bitter water with a little sweet and fragrant taste.

Gu Qing shook his head, and there was a pity for the pearl to secretly throw it into the dark. For these vulgar military generals, drinking slurry may taste better than drinking tea, so next time they will use slurry to entertain them.

"Today we will gather together. First of all, there is something to congratulate you..." Gu Qing looked around everyone with a smile.

All the generals sat upright.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Congratulations to everyone, I asked the emperor yesterday to report to the emperor, listing the military achievements made by the generals of the Anxi Army in recent years, and asking for the title of each of you. The emperor has approved it."

When the generals heard this, they were overjoyed and their expressions suddenly became excited.

For the general, promotion and title were the driving force for their lifelong battle. After fourteen years of Tianbao, the Anxi Army entered Yumen Pass to quell the rebellion. After more than three years, they have achieved success and fame. Everyone has been awarded titles, and a real man has lived up to his life.

The generals were ecstatic for a long time, then they stood up at the same time and bowed to Gu Qing, and said in unison: "Thank you for your kindness, Prince."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "I want to thank the emperor, it was the emperor's kindness."

The generals were stunned and repeated again: "Thank you for your kindness, the prince."

Gu Qing's smile gradually faded, and his eyes looked around everyone with deep meaning. After a long time, he smiled freely and casually: "Forget it, sit down."

All the generals sat obediently.

After two conversations, Gu Qing and the generals had already put all the unspeakable things into laughter.

The Anxi Army only recognized Gu Qing's commander and only recognized Gu Qing's promotion and title. The generals never mentioned the grace of the emperor. This is everyone's position.

The process of Gu Qing convening the generals to discuss matters was very pragmatic, without any empty words, and every agenda followed one by one, and he immediately said the second one.

"The second thing is that the Anxi Army plans to add one deputy envoy to the Jiedushi, and no one here has a chance. I want Feng Yu to be the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi. Today I will ask you in person, may Feng Yu be convinced?"

The generals were stunned again.

Gu Qing explained: "Feng Yu is a fellow villager and I, but I suggest that this person be the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi is not my nepotism. I believe everyone has heard of Feng Yu's deeds over the years. Before An Lushan planned to rebel, Feng Yu had already sneaked into the enemy camp on my order. In recent years, he endured humiliation and burdened the enemy camp and secretly conveyed a lot of important military information to the Anxi Army..."

"After Feng Yu's plan, An Lushan was stabbed to death, and Shi Siming was held back by Feng Yu's life, and was killed by my friend Li Bai just now. Everything Feng Yu did, if it were to be a military merit, should be no less than everyone here, right?"

Chang Zhong stood up and said first: "My general is convinced. Brother Feng is a hero. His contribution is better than our real swords and guns. Let Brother Feng be the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, and Mo General is convinced."

All the generals also agreed: "The last generals are convinced."

Li Siye grinned and said, "Brother Feng is indeed qualified. Although what he did is unknown, every thing is earth-shaking and has changed the situation in the whole world. The deaths of An Lushan and Shi Siming were all done by him. The young hero is really extraordinary. He is better than me and I recognize him. He served as the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, and Li was convinced by one hundred."

Gu Qing looked around everyone with a smile and said, "It's all brothers. If you have any objections, you can argue if you don't agree. I have always been fair in my work and don't want to smash my own sign."

The generals said in unison: "I am convinced, and there is no objection."

Gu Qing nodded, looked out of the hall and said loudly: "Feng Yu, come in and greet all the generals."

A thin figure flashed outside the hall, and Feng Yu walked in with a smile on his face.

The generals hurriedly stood up and bowed to Feng Yu on their own initiative. Everyone looked awe-inspiring and bowed to Zhou Zheng. They all respected Feng Yu's efforts behind the enemy over the years.

Feng Yu smiled and said, "Dear brothers, I am flattered. If there is anything inappropriate in the future, just say it to you. If I don't satisfy everyone when doing things, it doesn't matter if I point my nose and curse my mother. Haha, I'm thick-skinned anyway."

The generals laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more harmonious. Feng Yu integrated into the group of generals of the Anxi Army in just one sentence.

Li Siye stepped forward and hooked his thin shoulders, patted him hard, and said, "I have lost a little bit of weight, but I am a hero. Come, sit here."

As he said that, Li Siye staggered Feng Yu to Gu Qing's lower head, and he was the second-hand seat, forcing him to press down.

Li Siye took two steps back, looked at Feng Yu for a while, nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it seems like sitting here. In the future, Li will recognize you as the deputy governor, and he dare not deduct my salary and military funds, otherwise I will really scold you."

The generals burst into laughter again.

After everyone laughed and made a fuss, Gu Qing's face gradually darkened and he slowly said: "The third thing is that the Anxi Army will rectify its troops from now on, and the soldiers will wait for the battle to begin!"

The generals were stunned, and then they showed a look of enlightenment.

Chang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Prince, are the soldiers and horses of the vassal states in various places coming?"

Gu Qing nodded: "There are currently three troops. The Longyou Jiedushi Pugu Huaien led 30,000 Longyou Army to Longzhou, Gao Xianzhi, the new Jiedushi of Jiannan Road, led 50,000 Shu troops to Liangzhou, and the Hexi Jiedushi Qu Huan led 30,000 Hexi Army out of Liangzhou and delayed the march, as if he was waiting and hesitant. In addition, the 30,000 Shuofang Army in the palace can be said to be internal and external troubles. I have decided that this time, the Anxi Army faced all the troops and horses alone and earned his contributions to this service."

The expressions of the generals became solemn, and Chang Zhong stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Please give the order."

The generals stood up and shouted, "Please give the order!"

The fighting spirit soared into the sky filled the hall without warning, and a sharp murderous aura filled the air. The generals who were still talking and laughing just now instantly turned into a murderous devil king, licking the bleeding blade.

Gu Qing looked at the high fighting spirit of the crowd with satisfaction, nodded, and said, "Everyone will work hard this time. The general strategy I have set is to defeat each one. While the troops of all the kings have not yet gathered together, we will take the initiative to send troops to defeat them from each other."

Leading the generals to the sand table, Gu Qing pointed to three places where the small flag had been planted on the sand table, and said: "Liangzhou, Longzhou, and the Hexi Army, Quhuan's troops, are marching around Ganzhou. These three places are the main and second-rate, mainly the 50,000 Shu troops with many soldiers. Gao Xianzhi is a famous general in the world. Looking at his military use in Anxijie Prefecture, we can see that this person is quite strong in using troops and is a straightforward and fierce way..."

Gu Qing said as he raised his head, looked at Sun Jiushi and Ma Lin and said, "Are you sure you can fight against the 50,000 troops and horses of the Shu army?"

Sun Jiushi and Ma Lin were both shocked and said in unison: "I'm sure!"

Gu Qing nodded and said, "The 5,000 troops and horses of the Sharp Shooting Camp are in the main formation, attacking the enemy head-on, and advancing step by step. Ma Lin has 20,000 troops and horses to steer the left and right flanks to advance in front of the Sharp Shooting Camp. The remaining 10,000 troops serve as ambushers and detours to the rear of the Shu army. When the war is in full swing, launch a raid from the rear. This is the general tactic. If the situation on the battlefield changes, you two can act on camera. I will not interfere, as long as the news of victory."

Sun Jiushi and Ma Lin shouted with their chests straight: "The last general will take the order!"

He looked at Chang Zhong again, and Gu Qing said, "I will give you 30,000 troops and horses to you. Can you win with 20,000 cavalry?"

Chang Zhong patted his chest and said, "If you can't win, you will kill yourself in front of the formation to apologize."

Gu Qing smiled gently and said, "If you can't win, you must try your best to save your vitality and come back to see me, keep the green mountains there, and don't be afraid of burning firewood. We have more than once, so don't say anything about life, death, and apologize. Each of you is more important to me than victory."

The generals pursed their lips in emotion, but their expression became more and more firm.

Gu Qing stared at the sand table and said, "I am not very familiar with this person, but I have inquired about his origin and the combat methods of the Longyou Army. The original intention of the Longyou Jiedushi was to resist Tubo in the west, and it was the top priority of the border town of Datang. The court has always attached great importance to Longyou. It has been established for decades and has fought with Tubo in all sizes and sizes, with both victories and losses. In the past twenty years, most of the losses have been lost."

"According to the war methods of the Longyou Army against Tubo, most of them were divided into troops, using the terrain of the mountain plateau and plains to send troops in different ways. Therefore, the characteristics of the Longyou Army are that they have a wide range of troops, mainly infantry and cavalry as the auxiliary. In addition, infantry is also divided into spears, shield soldiers, bows and arrows, long halberds, etc...."

Seeing Chang Zhong's expression becoming more and more serious, Gu Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. The Longyou Army has a fatal disadvantage. In recent years, the Longyou Army was ordered to enter the Central Plains to quell the rebellion. Their veterans consumed a lot of them in the fight against the rebellion. Nowadays, most of the Longyou Army are recruiting recruits, and their combat power is not as good as before."

"More importantly, the Jiedushi Pugu Huaien was recently transferred to the office at the end of last year. Pugu Huaien was originally a general in the Shuofang Army. His usual tactics were to fight head-on in the plains of the Turkic nomadic cavalry in the north. He was not familiar with the plateau plains and the cooperation between multiple armies. Moreover, he was a first time to arrive. The soldiers in the Longyou Army did not know the generals and the generals did not know the soldiers. At this time, the combat power of the Longyou Army was probably lower than we imagined."

Looking at Chang Zhong's slightly relaxed expression, Gu Qing smiled and said, "I gave you 20,000 troops and 30,000 Longyou Army. I thought it carefully, and it would not be too difficult."

Chang Zhong smiled relaxedly and said, "The last general promises to take down the Longyou Army!"

Gu Qing looked at Liu Hongbo again and said, "I will give you 10,000 cavalrymen from Qu Huan, plus a handwritten letter from me, are you afraid?"

The generals were stunned, and Liu Hongbo looked at Gu Qing in surprise.

Among all the generals of the Anxi Army, Liu Hongbo was actually the most low-key and least famous. In the middle of the battle against rebellion, Liu Hongbo rarely went to the battlefield, but was sent by Gu Qing to recruit and train new recruits. In the eyes of many people, Liu Hongbo was already in the logistics ranks and no longer participated in the war directly.

Gu Qing really dared to hire people this time. Not only did Liu Hongbo lead his army to face the Hexi army alone, but he also gave him only 10,000 troops. What the hell is the handwritten letter?

Seeing that the generals were puzzled, Gu Qing smiled and said, "Qu Huan, once a general under the command of Geshuhan, the governor of Hexi. Geshu Jieshu retired due to illness, but the Hexi army had a friendship with our Anxi army. We have fought side by side. I have also hired many doctors to treat the handsome guy Shuhan they support. The soldiers of the Hexi army have always been quite grateful to me, which is also the reason why Qu Huan has been delaying his marching so far..."

"So I guess, even if we meet the Hexi Army battlefield, most of the Hexi Army soldiers are unwilling to be enemies with us. Liu Hongbo can send someone to send my handwritten letter to the Hexi Army. This battle is likely to be impossible."

Liu Hongbo thought for a while and said with a firm heart | "The last general will never be humiliated. If a war really starts, the last general will lead his army to fight to the death."
