Unlike Gao Lin, Gao Xiuyan, 67 years old this year, sat upright on a short couch in his hall. In front of him was a slightly taller rectangular short table with a white beard and a fleshy face. He was sitting in a dangerous manner while reviewing documents about one foot high.

Behind him was a young man, his youngest son Gao Pei.

Gao Lin and Gao Pei, one grows and one grows and one grows, have been following him. All the remaining sons work in Youzhou and counties. An Lushan transferred him to Datong before the uprising. Obviously, he did not like his abilities, but liked this background.

But no matter what, a person in his sixties can still fight on the battlefield, be able to get along with others, and end up with a good end. It is impossible not to say that he is also a character.

Gao Xiuyan is the weakened version of Guo Ziyi, which means weakening military capabilities. There are almost no difference in other aspects.

Gao Xiuyan didn't know much literacy, and his pen was very strange. When he reviewed documents, he was also concise and to the point of not writing in circles, or one was “yes” or “no”. Since he didn't know much literacy, he asked his subordinates to submit documents at most 100 words each time.

So, at most half an hour, he had reviewed all documents about one foot high.

After a while, he put down his brush and turned around and asked, "When will they arrive?"

What he asked was naturally the current leading figures of Datong Army (Yunzhong County), the judge Murong Fuyun, Du Yuhou, his eldest son Gao Lin, You Yi envoy/vanguard envoy/personal guard leader Tuoba Qianhui and others.

The young man said, "It should be soon, it's just Murong Fuyun, everyone else is close to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the personal guard on duty at the entrance of the hall shouted, "Marquis Du Yu is here!"

The gate of the festival hall was opened, and about ten people including Gao Lin, Murong Fuyun, Tuoba Qianhui and others arrived.

After everyone sat down, Gao Xiuyan said, "There are two major events happening now. I believe you will know them. One is naturally the funeral of the Emperor Dayan, and the other is the turmoil caused by the Shattered Ye Army in the north of the Mo. I have brought you here to discuss the future major events in my Yunzhong County..."

This statement was too straightforward. Although Gao Lin was licentious, he still had a political mind at least. He quickly coughed lightly, "Father, is there news from Luoyang?"

Gao Xiuyan nodded, "Yes, Xin Huangfu Li immediately appointed a confidant eunuch to send me a new appointment letter. Ahem, thanks to Your Majesty's trust, I have changed from Prince Yunzhong to King Yunzhong!"

Gao Lin naturally knew about this. At this time, he quickly stood up and led everyone to bend down and bow and say, "Congratulations to the king!"

Gao Xiuyan waved his hand, "I have promoted you one level and asked the eunuch to take you back. Let's talk about this later. Our Datong Army is alone outside the border. Now that so many big things have happened, how should we deal with it? Please speak freely and do not keep it."

Gao Lin said: "If you want to discuss major events, you have to observe the movements of the King of Zhou. Now, north of the Great River and east of Taihang, except for the Zhongshan King Zhang Zhongzhi, who occupied Heng and Dingzhou, the Hebei Road counties are almost all under the control of the King of Zhou, and our army borders Guizhou. Therefore, we have to think about the words and actions of the King of Zhou in detail."

(King of Zhou, namely Shi Siming)

Gao Xiuyan said, "You are Du Yuhou. What's the big deal in Youzhou? Why don't you talk about it quickly? What's the noise?"

Gao Lin nodded, "Father, everyone, after the King of Zhou returned to Fanyang, he immediately adjusted the officials appointed by the late emperor. Originally, the late emperor set up two retired descendants in Youzhou, guarding Changping with Runrong, remotely controlling Guizhou and Tanzhou."

"Niu Tingjie guards Yizhou, Mozhou, and guards the capital"

"In addition, his adopted son Zhang Zhongzhi guards Hengzhou, which controls Jingxing Pass, and the general Xu Guidao guards Pingzhou. At present, Zhang Zhongzhi and Xu Guidao are still stationed in the same place, but Xiang Runrong and Niu Tingjie were transferred back to Fan Yang to live. Of course, all of this was agreed by His Majesty..."

Murong Fuyun, who was standing aside, hummed in his heart, "With Shi Siming's power, how could An Qingxu disagree? If there is any disobedience, Shi Siming either rebels from Dayan or proclaims himself king, and will massacre An Lushan's family who stayed in Fanyang."

However, Gao Lin did not expect to have him and continued: "The land of Changping was controlled by his confidant Xue E, while Yizhou and Mozhou were controlled by another confidant Nan Dexin."

"In addition, north of the Dahe River, Weizhou and Bozhou, the newly established position of Jiedushi, was appointed by his close confidant Liu Congjian. The entire Fanyang Jiedushi Mansion, except for King Zhou himself, basically held the power of the two... "

"One is the marching Sima Zhou Zhi of King Zhou, and the other is Zhang Xiancheng, the son of the former governor Zhang Shougui. He served as the chief of the Youzhou Governor's Office. Since the governor was appointed by the King of Zhou, the government power of the entire Hebei Dao was actually in his hands."

"Because Zhang Shougui had good kindness and reputation in Youzhou before, even Zhang Xiancheng could respond with all his wishes. Now he has the largest militia in the entire Hebei Road under his name and is the most important supplementary source for the regular army of the Zhou King."

"Zhang Xiancheng also served as the leader of this army in the name of the Youzhou Tuanlian Jiedushi."

"Shi Siming trusts Zhou Zhi and Zhang Xiancheng very much. In addition, Xue E, Nan Dexin, Liu Congjian and others, their layout in Hebei Road has been completed, and even the emperor may not be able to do anything."

"By the way, Kang Xiaozhong, the adopted son of the former emperor who was originally assisting the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi Jia Xun in Youzhou, was also secretly deprived of military power. Kang Xiaozhong had a young man under his command, and Gao Ruzhen had a young man under his command, both of which were extremely brave. After the Zhou king controlled Fanyang City, his young son Shi Chaoqing served as the Jiedushi, and the Hu youth army was replaced by Ashina Chengqing's son Ashinayu."

"The Han youth army was led by Gao Ruzhen's son Gao Juren. Everyone, Gao Juren was the first in the last jumping camp before the late emperor started his army. He was ranked first at the age of fifteen and had the courage of ten thousand men. He was originally left for the late emperor's youngest son, but now he was used by the King of Zhou to assist his youngest son."

"Everyone, at that time, Shi Chaoqing, Gao Juren and Xin Wannian all participated in the jumping camp, and they all had the courage to be inappropriate. In the end, Gao Juren stood out. At present, Gao and Xin were both personal guards of Shi Chaoqing, who were the young Han soldiers..."

When Gao Lin said this, Murong Fuyun was shocked, "It would be fine if Zhang Zhongzhi and others were said to be too famous and they were granted the throne. The Gao family must know it, but it would be a bit horrible to know about Shi Chaoqing and his guards. Could it be that Gao Lin is not as decadent as he looks on the surface, but dressed up?"

Then he suddenly thought of something, "The King of Yunzhong has eight sons, all of whom are already adults. It is said that most of them work in Youzhou, most of them are, no, when Gao Lin just mentioned that Gao Juren just now, his face was quite lustful. They all had surnames Gao, could it be..."

Then he asked, "Marquis Du Yu, that Gao Ruzhen, is Gao Juren..."

Gao Lin glanced at Gao Xiuyan, saw that he had no objection and said, "It's a coincidence that Gao Ruzhen, Gao Juren is both distant relatives of my Gao family, and they are all from the Gao family in Jiangzhou."

"No wonder", Murong Fuyun nodded in his heart, "I guess King Yunzhong and his son are also an official in Youzhou. In addition, Gao Ruzhen and others naturally know Youzhou City well."

Then he asked again: "Young soldiers? How many people are there? How brave are they? Are they more powerful than Khitanzhi?"

"Hahaha," Gao Lin laughed, "There are not many young soldiers, each with only five hundred people, but everyone can pull a large bow with three stone power, dance a 20-pound Modao, and can hit more than seven out of ten when riding and shooting on horseback."

Murong Fuyun was even more shocked when he heard this, "So amazing? There are probably not so many such people in the entire Khitan tribe. How did the late emperor find each other? Such five hundred people can be used by 5,000 people! No wonder..."

He thought to himself: "No wonder both An Lushan and Shi Siming value the Gao family so much. In addition to their families in Youzhou, Gao Juren's young soldiers are probably one of the reasons."

"Okay," Gao Xiuyan cuts the tunnel. "The situation in Youzhou is roughly like this. The northern Thunder Ye Army is now fighting in Liaodong, Khitan and Huaishuo Town, but has not been defeated. It is said that the Uighurs were defeated again in the war near Huaishuo Town. Although they are not many, their combat power is really strong. At present, the big star Sun Xiurong's big star has appeared near the Shanbei Quechang, not too far from us..."

Tuoba Qianhui obviously knew more about the Shattered Ye Army than others. In addition to his irreconcilable hatred for Sun Xiurong to kill his father, as the envoy of You Yi, he was the first rebel general to learn the consequences of the war in Huaishuo Town and the surrender city.

He said: "Don't be satisfied with you. In the past five years, I have been exploring the news about Ye Jun. If it is expected, Sun Xiurong's station in Bingshan Beique Field this time is obviously for Youzhou."

"Oh?" This is a question that Murong Fuyun had been thinking about but couldn't figure out, because he had no idea why Sun Xiurong had to travel thousands of miles to the north of Youzhou. Not to mention that he was going to compete for the Central Plains, it would be a bit of a problem to take Youzhou.

Tuoba Qianhui said: "This person used to be the Grand Governor of the Jun tribe, and he was quite kind to the grassland tribes..."

Murong Fuyun smiled and said, "Ende? You Yi Envoy, your tribe has been greatly weakened in his hands, your father still..."

Tuoba Qianhui shook his head, "I was only a few years old before Aye passed away. When I grew up, I realized that if I had no strength, no anger would be of use. If I wanted to avenge, I could only look at the enemy with a normal perspective. Otherwise, not only would I not be able to avenge, but I would be blinded by meaningless hatred."

"Besides, I, Aye, attacked the Leaf Army first, and was eventually lost to the capture and the tribe was destroyed, but they also implemented it roughly according to the grassland practices, and there was not much extravagance."

"He could gain a foothold in the dangerous Wu army with a few thousand troops, and could also sweep the Xi people, the Wu people, the Khitan people, the Shiwei people, and the Turkic troops advanced westward, defeating the Tang Dynasty again on the way, and the Uighur coalition forces showed their powerful combat power."

"He has been in the Western Regions for more than ten years and has captured a larger territory than the previous Western Turks and has more Dingkou. He is already a powerful Khanate. It would be inappropriate to use a tribal leader to guess him."

Murong Fuyun nodded, and he suddenly thought of something from Tuoba Ganhui's words.

"What you mean is that with Sun Xiurong's honor, he shouldn't have risked himself to risk his life, but he still came. He must have deliberately told the people around him, Sun Xiurong, a former governor of the Ministry of the Ministry, who is now known as the Great Protector of the Beiting of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he was the Bogda Khan recommended by various ministries, and was the strongest Khan on the grassland, but he only brought six or seven camps to the north of the Mobei."
