Guo Shao can't go abroad for this tour of the west, but only travels along the northwestern part of the Dazhou map, ending in Lingzhou (Yinchuan Plain). Prior to this, Wei Renpu and others had already sent officials to Lingzhou to arrange greets and liaise with the northwestern ministries.
At this time, Wei Renpu bid farewell to Guo Shao, left the brigade early, and went to Lingzhou to preside over everything in person.
The emperor's honor guard soldiers then slowly continued northward, and the quiet army Jie Shuai Zhede took a group of people to accompany him, accompanied by Guo Shao all the way, and became more familiar with each other personally.
In two days, Qinzhou's majestic martial arts brought Wang Jing and his son to the army.
Guo Shao met immediately at the Chinese Army's Great Account.
Wang Jing is already 72 years old. When Guo Shao saw him, he saw him staggering and his physical strength was obviously not as good as when he met five years ago. There are also many gray and black age spots on his face, his cheeks are sunken in, and his eyes are a bit muddy.
"Wang Lao Jie Shuai is exempted from the gift." Guo Shao took the lead in avoiding his big gift, and then said, "Come on, give me a seat, and give Wang Lao Jie Shuai a softer cushion."
"The old minister thanks the emperor's grace." Wang Jing clasped his fists, then turned his head and said, "Ting Xun, hurry up to see your majesty, and your majesty treats our Wang family's kindness."
A young man in uniform and armor hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtow, and shouted a long life. Guo Shao told him to be flat, and then praised: "The tiger father has no dogs."
In the battle of Qin and Feng more than five years ago, in addition to fighting alongside Wang Jing, Guo Shao also met his eldest son. At that time, Wang Jing's eldest son was gray.
While Wang Jing came to face the saint today, he brought not the eldest son, but the youngest son. Guo Shao thought that the old man still liked the younger son.
Wang Jing’s family is also a Northwest warlord. The Qinzhou area is almost the westernmost part of the Dazhou map, so Wang Jing also has a dispatch called "Deployment to the west." However, Wang Jing can be regarded as a more reliable warlord, because he and Guo Shao once fought together to establish a friendship; when Guo Shao destroyed the Kingdom of Shu, Wang Jing also contributed the most in the North Road, and his troops were very hardworking.
Plus Wang Jing is getting older, so Guo Shao's tone is very good and polite: "Wang Lao is handsome and has a long life, so you don't have to come here personally."
Wang Jing sighed: "Tokyo is too far away, and the officials finally came to the northwest. This time the old minister asked someone to come and see the official... The age is not forgiving. This time, it may be the last time for the old minister. I'm back to see the official's house."
Guo Shao felt sour when he heard this.
His voice is also a little different: "Wang Jieshuai takes care of his body..."
The surrounding civil servants heard the emperor's voice, and their expressions were also sad.
Wang Jing showed a smile and said: "No one can avoid life, old age, sickness and death. There is always a banquet in the world, and the old ministers have the opportunity to say goodbye to the officials early..."
His smile is complicated, a little sad and a little helpless. He added: "It's just a little regretful. The old ministers have been running around all his life, and he didn't do anything famous. Now the officials want to build a great cause, but the old ministers can't keep up."
Guo Shao felt more sad when he heard this. Suddenly sad, defenseless, he didn't dare to speak out... Guo Shao felt that he was in vain as a martial artist, and sometimes his heart was really hard.
Wang Jing said he turned his head and looked at his little son.
Guo Shao looked at his eyes and understood what Wang Jing meant. In fact, the biggest purpose of Wang Jing's trip was to entrust his descendants to the emperor for Guo Shao to take care of him in the future.
In front of everyone, Guo Shao is the emperor. He feels that what he holds in his hand is actually public power and cannot be too selfish. He didn't say it clearly, but only said: "I will always remember the contribution that Wang Lao Jie Shuai made to the country."
After saying this, he turned his gaze to Wang Tingxun and asked Wang Tingxun what martial arts he had trained and what military books he had read. He asked in great detail. Wang Tingxun replied fluently and spoke clearly, and asked Guo Shao to nod frequently.
Wang Jing did not say clearly, nor did Guo Shao mention it. But everything is in the gossip at home.
Wang Jing's old face also showed relief.
After speaking, Guo Shao smiled again: "I am going to Lingzhou on this trip, and let Wang Tingxun follow me all the way."
Wang Jing said happily: "It is the blessing of Ting Xun to be able to lead the horse and whip for the officials, and to be able to follow the leaders of the officials." Wang Tingxun knelt down again, kowtow in gratitude.
Guo Shao hurriedly called him up.
...Wang Tingxun drove northward, and soon, some people asked to accompany him.
Fengxiang Army Zhangyi Army Tongyuan Army Zhangwu Army Baoda Army Five Towns Jiedu Envoy brought his guards to the camp to meet him and asked him to serve as the emperor’s guard for the Western Tour.
These people are all Northwest Jie Towns. They were prepared for military force deployed by the Great Zhou in the depths near the border. Compared with the Jiedu envoys who have been cut out of the mainland by most of their power, these Jie Towns are a bit of real strength. People have relatively independent powers in their respective territories.
Guo Shao allowed them to accompany and get along with each other day and night along the way, gradually getting to know them. Guo Shao is a better person to get along with at this time, because many of the ancients cared about the details of etiquette, he did not care, and he was easier to talk; in addition, he also spent more than ten years in the army, talking about things in the army, and the generals. Very talkative.
Princes and ministers get along very happily, and the journey is not so boring.
At this time, the system and rules are not very detailed. The generals and Guo Shao can establish personal relationships to increase trust... It's like the relatives who move around frequently, and the relatives who don't move often, the Qing branch is completely different.
……
Before the Western Tour started, Wei Renpu and Lu Duoxun had arranged many envoys earlier to find local guides in Shuofang and try to contact the tribes. Including Ganzhou Uighur Achai tribes, Tubo Tuosima tribes, western Dangxiang tribes; Guiyi army Cao's family, and tribes of the Western Regions.
Of course, the Li family, the most powerful party in this area, will not be left behind.
It is not easy for the envoys of the Privy Council to go to Xiazhou. Except for the pastures in the central part of Xiazhou and the pastures in the north, the terrain along the way is many ravines and it is easy to get lost.
Fortunately, the government system in the Dingnan Army (Xiazhou) was relatively complete. The envoy and the envoy were quickly received and escorted to the center of the Dingnan Army in Xiazhou... The Zhou Dynasty has never dealt with the Xiazhou area. Officials have been appointed, and these officials and officials were appointed by themselves; it is no wonder that some people in the dynasty talked about Xiazhou and said, "Although they have not been called the country, they have been the king for a long time."
The messenger was worried that he recorded any accidents he had encountered, which would make the Ding Nan army feel jealous, so he took the things he saw along the way and kept it in his heart. Ludoxen got the map of the west and went back, and it was reused. The messengers understood that, so he was very careful when doing errands.
All parts of the army are incomparable to the beautiful inland cities with pavilions, towers and pavilions. At first glance, they are rough and poor. The houses are very low and they are all earth houses, some are like earth caves, some The roof is covered with animal fur, which looks like patches of torn clothes; there are only a few tile-roofed houses, and the accompanying party members say that those who live in tiled houses have identities and can't afford it.
However, as long as you pay attention, the party members in Xiazhou are more generous, and there are fewer luxury goods, but there is no shortage of livestock, food, iron, tools, salt and other living expenses, which are much more plentiful than in some inland areas with disasters.
Some party members have the same tie as the mainlanders, and their clothes are shorter and narrower. Although they seem to be obviously different from the customs of the Central Plains, they are not different to the point. The styles and farm tools such as hand collars can be Find the traces of the Central Plains...According to the book, after Dangxiang was Sanmiao, he had a long time with the Han people, and the customs were still influenced by the Han family.
The messenger has another feeling. These people are obviously not as submissive as the people of the Central Plains, and there is almost no etiquette. They are more wild and aggressive.
However, the man who led the messenger was named Chi Lingzhe, but he was a cheerful and kind person. He can speak Chinese, is very talkative, and talks endlessly along the way. The messenger sometimes feels noisy, but he has also learned from him that many party members are taboo and they are very helpful.
Of course, most of the time it’s nonsense, and the messenger can only look enthusiastic about it. Being unfamiliar with the place here will prevent you from getting out of touch.
Chi Ling was eloquent, talking about the legend of the mountain for a while, and the messenger was not interested, and then he said about women...The messenger said in his heart: Lao Tzu came to Xiazhou, not for barbarians.
"...Her head is black, her clothes look like sunset clouds, and her skin looks like satin. Hey, if the messenger talks about her with people in Xiazhou, she will definitely be able to talk about her." Chi Ling's face was red, excited Say.
The last sentence aroused the interest of the messenger, and I wondered that sometimes it is not good to find a topic with party members. I immediately asked, "I'm really sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, who are you talking about?"
Chi Ling was a little unhappy at once, but he was indeed a hearty person, and soon he was relieved: "Maybe my accent is not easy to understand?"
The messenger laughed with him.
Chi Ling said: "The daughter of the king (the emperor of the difficult festival, Li Yiyin, the king of Xiping), haven't you heard of it?"
The messenger said: Lao Tzu came to Xiazhou for the first time, where did I know?
The messenger said: "I'm ignorant, let Brother Chi Ling laugh."
Chi Ling was a little disappointed and said: "A person like a fairy, the people of Central Plains have never heard of it?"
Messenger: "..."
Chi Ling said: "Then you wait a lot on Xiazhou Ranch. If you look at it, you will understand what I said. Alas, my mouth is stupid, I can't say it."
The messenger said: Fuck, you are so stupid and you can talk, what if you are not stupid?
The messenger said: "I have official duties in the next place. When I arrived in Xiazhou, I was troubled by the Chiling brothers to report to the military military office of the Dingnan Army, so that King Xiping could receive him. If this happens, I will be thankful."
Chi Ling smiled and said: "Central Plains people are rigid."
At this time, the messenger heard a sound of singing on the hillside. When he looked up, he saw a flock of sheep running down on the hillside, but he did not see the singing son. The messenger could not understand the lyrics, but from the melody, he heard a love song with a feeling of affection.
The messenger was a little touched, but thought of the ballads of the slender lady in the Book of Songs. Thinking of the mission with an uncertain future, a feeling of homesickness came to my heart.
