Chapter five hundred and seventy-two war clouds

Although Du Shiyi didn't care, as the storefront of Yunzhou, under the repeated insistence of Princess Gu'an and Wang Han and others, it took less than half a year for the place to go from its initial destruction to its magnificent atmosphere. In the Lifang where the Yunzhou Governor's Office is located, all living in the living room were strictly screened. The rammed earth wall of the Governor's Office was nearly two meters high, and there must be no buildings higher than the wall around it. No matter how tall a person is, it is difficult to stand outside and look inside.

Several newly released official offices in Yunzhou City are now located in the Yunzhou Governor's Office. One is the Anti-Smuggling Office, the Second is the Municipal Affairs Office, and the Third is the Yunzhou Governor's Office. Because these multiple official offices gather here, there are endless people coming in and out every day. In addition, many businessmen who come to Yunzhou to look for business opportunities want to meet this youngest Yun Prefecture Chief Secretary in history. Therefore, the cross street in front of the Governor's Office is full of traffic and a special person has to be responsible for maintaining traffic order. Even so, traffic jams are still common.

In just half a year, the residents of Yunzhou City were about to approach the six thousand mark, and during the day, people gathered in Lifang, where the governor's office were located to seek services, from the master and the entourage, at least one or two hundred.

At this moment, Hou Xiyi finally rode his horse from the crowded carriage to the gate of the governor's office, and couldn't help but look up at the powerful big words on the plaque. It's been eight years since he first met Du Shiyi, who was still a new leader, to now, it's been eight years. In the past eight years, he has accomplished nothing, and has been wasting his life and passion in Yuguan Shou. Du Shiyi is famous for his reputation and now he has dominated the country. This time he went to Yunzhou, and eliminated horse thieves in three days, and suppressed the food price in less than two months. He came from Hebei and had also met many families who came to Yunzhou to find a way out.

He took a deep breath, then jumped off his horse and walked forward. The well-trained guard in front of the door was about to stop someone from interrogating him, but suddenly he heard a voice coming from behind: "You are... Hou Xiyi? Good boy, Madam Yue has just returned, you are here quickly."

Hou Xiyi unexpectedly thought that he had been recognized before he was known. However, when he saw the man who was coming forward with a cheerful smile, he couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable surprise.

"Uncle Chibi"

"When Twenty-Yilang went to Jiangnan before, he asked about your current situation, so after the Lord of the Lang arrived in Yunzhou, he planned to invite you over."

Chi Bi looked up and down Hou Xiyi, and saw that the young boy who had already shown a little deeper that day, but the excitement at this moment covered the vicissitudes of his face, reminding him of the unlucky boy who was beaten by Wang Jun for being too free. He snatched the reins from Hou Xiyi's hand and threw them to the curious guard next to him as if nothing had happened. He pulled Hou Xiyi into the governor's mansion. Behind the two, many of the people who were sharp-headed and wanted to enter here exclaimed, and more people were wondering who the young man was.

Although this was the first time he came to Yunzhou and entered the Governor's Office for the first time, he followed Chibi all the way inside. Seeing that the officials coming and going were wearing white shirts, and the servants at the bottom were soap shirts, black and white were clearly neat, Hou Xiyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When he found that he seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into the Governor's Office, he finally couldn't help asking: "Uncle Chibi, where are you taking me? Isn't Du Changshi in front of you?"

"The Anti-Smuggling Office is ahead, and the Municipal Department and the Guard Office are located. The Lord of the Lang meets people most of the time in the study behind him. Don't be able to wait outside the door, most of them will never meet the Lord of the Lang. At this moment, the Lord of the Lang should be discussing military affairs with General Wang and General Luo, and the boy Nanba is listening. This is your old job, and it's just right to see the Lord of the Lang."

As soon as these words came out, Hou Xiyi was even more surprised: "I was just a little bit dark, how can I disturb Du Changshi's discussion?"

"This is what the Lord of the Man has already ordered. You will take it to see him as soon as you come. Don't push yourself to the point of being irresistible.

Chibi pulled Hou Xiyi without saying anything, and when he arrived at a corridor, he saw that there were two groups guarding the door, and the two followers beside Chen Baoer, he couldn't help but stare at the two people intently for a moment. Sure enough, Tang Xiu, a girl in maid dress, lowered her head and trembled slightly, while the young Tang Zhen gritted his teeth and tried his best to straighten his body. Seeing this scene, Chibi smiled and let go of Hou Xiyi, and said with a smile: "You should still remember the two of you who were the old people who had been following the Langzhu. These two were Xi Nu, and although they were of Tang Dynasty blood, they now follow the Langzhu's disciple Chen Xiaolangjun, and they only know Xi's words but not Chinese."

Hou Xiyi himself is half of Goryeo. At this moment, he heard that the boy and girl were Xi Nu, but he did not discriminate much, but nodded angrily. At this moment, he only heard a voice from the study: "Who is outside?"

As the gate of the study was opened by a boy who was very strange to him, Hou Xiyi saw three people coming out one after another. The first thing that caught his eye was a young man in a robe. Although the official robe of this color was worn by a middle-aged official who was about 40 years old, Du Shiyi now wore it on his body, which was inconsistent with his age. The young man on his right hand was about two or three years younger, but his back and bear were square in his face. He only looked at him and felt a sense of oppression. As for the young man on the other side, he felt a little familiar with him at first, but then he remembered it.

Isn’t this the little monk next to Du Shiyi back then?

But now he can't let him sort out his memories calmly anymore, so he hurried forward and bowed: "Hou Xiyi has met Du Changshi"

"Xiyi?" Du Shiyi's eyes lit up, then laughed, and then helped Hou Xiyi up with both hands. "You are so fast, Madam Yue has just arrived yesterday. I didn't expect you to follow me. I'm worried that the guard office still lacks a deputy envoy. You can handle me for a few days first."

Hearing this, Wang Zhongsi couldn't help but look at Hou Xiyi in surprise. He was humble and extremely arrogant, and he didn't take it seriously. If Du Shiyi had not convinced Bai Dengshan when he first arrived in Yunzhou, and then he had a trap to defeat all the horse thieves in one fell swoop, and then gave him the power to manage the army and train troops. He even won the food price battle beautifully, he would not have been convinced by Du Shiyi at all. Therefore, now Du Shiyi said that he was the Yunzhou Guardian, but in fact he was the real ruler of the Guardian Bureau. He couldn't help but be curious and puzzled about this young man who had just arrived.

Although Du Shiyi was heartbroken in the letter, Hou Xiyi rushed to Yunzhou without saying a word, but he was still a little confused about his future. At this moment, Du Shiyi's words that made people feel like spring breeze, and the kind of open trust made him feel even more. He almost broke free from the other party's hands without thinking, and took a step back and bowed deeply: "What kind of virtue is Xiyi? He won the trust of Du Changshi so much that Xiyi knew nothing when he first arrived in Yunzhou. He is willing to be a pawn of Du Changshi."

"Everyone goes from knowing nothing to knowing it, and then to being at ease."

Du Shiyi reached out to help Hou Xiyi up again, and then said to Wang Zhongsi: "General Wang, thanks to your training for several months without any resistance, the Yunzhou army and horses have the current combat power. However, it is really aggrieved that you can command troops in Yunzhou. The saint will definitely not let you stay in Yunzhou for too long. Xiyi was met by chance when I was watching the wind in the north. He was once appreciated by Prime Minister Zhang and transferred from Pinglu to Youzhou.

However, Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue was not happy, so after King Xi refused the three ministries, General Pei asked for merit for him and asked him to return to Pinglu. Since Yunzhou only had a guard and captured, the military was more important than the elite, so I thought about it and learned that he was wasting his life in Yuguan, so I wanted to invite him. Not to mention anything else, Xi Yi was proficient in Xi, Turkic, Goryeo, and Kucha, and his martial arts were quite good, which was rare among military officers."

It is one thing to ask Li Linfu to solve the problem of the transfer, but it is another thing to ask Hou Xiyi and Luo Ying to take over Wang Zhongsi's squad, and it is another thing to ask Wang Zhongsi to hand over the army. Therefore, he would rather be more intimate than make people feel sorry for Wang Zhongsi. Sure enough, after his frankness, Wang Zhongsi's face immediately showed a smile.

"No wonder Du Changshi is so happy to see the hunt. However, it is also appropriate for Du Changshi to prepare for the future. I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in Yunzhou for a few days. I received a letter from Beijing that Your Majesty probably wants me to go to Hexi."

The biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty is Tubo, not the Turks who gradually entered the strategic contraction period. In addition, Wang Zhongsi started his career in Helong, so Du Shiyi certainly believed this. Just as he was about to speak, a servant outside rushed over and was about to approach and bowed to him to report: "Wang Facao is back, saying that there is an emergency military information."

"Come him in." Du Shiyi immediately threw all the errands behind his head and said in a deep voice, "General Wang, General Luo, stay for a while, Xi Yi, you will follow me into the study and talk."

Hou Xiyi was supposed to be humble, but when he saw Chibi winking at him, he finally gritted his teeth and followed him in. When he got into the room, he saw Du Shiyi sitting in the middle. Wang Zhongsi Luo Ying sat in the first and second place on the right. The young man who opened the door stood beside Du Shiyi. While he was hesitating, another young man who he didn't recognize just now moved the seat and asked him to sit down respectfully. He was slightly stunned. After thanking him, he stepped forward and sat down.

Soon, he saw the study gate open again, and the one who came in was a middle-aged man with a strong face. After the other party bowed and saw him, he said in a deep voice: "Du Changshi, Bai Dengshan sent news, saying that it was the nomadic Yushe Ministry, Yimo Department, and Beijue Ministry, which were located near Yunzhou and located near Jiujiuquan. He planned to rob Yunzhou in the near future."
