    Du Xiang, the Minister of War, is a very capable official. After completing the negotiation task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, he did not miss Shanzhou where he once lived and fought, nor did he like other officials who like to scrape the land, or clearly  He secretly or secretly asked for bribes from Guo Yingyi and other generals. He did not even enter Huangshui City, but returned to Chang'an with a detailed report on the Qinghai Lake Battle and the joint proposal of Zhang Zhongliang and Guo Yingyi.  On Tuesday, we saw the future and hope of the Tang Dynasty from generals like Du Hope, and we also understood why the Anshi Rebellion, although it dragged the Tang Empire from its peak into depression, did not destroy the foundation of the entire country.  When Du Xiang left Fuqi City, Zhou Chengye went to see him off in person.  Looking at this Confucian general who was eventually buried in history because he refused to bribe eunuchs in the palace and did not bother to spend money to buy an official position, Zhou Chengye felt more respect from the bottom of his heart.  " Tuesday's status today has a lot to do with his deliberate pandering to the current emperor and his private friendship with ministers and eunuchs in the harem. It can be said that he is the beneficiary of various unspoken rules in officialdom.  However, this is not what Zhou Chengye really wants.  If possible, he also hopes that he can live a strong life based on his ability, instead of spending most of his energy and thoughts on forming cliques for personal gain and scheming against each other.  On Tuesday, he wanted to remind Du Xixi that it would be better to change his "literary youth" temper when working in the Ministry of War in the future and not to be straightforward in everything, but he felt that at his current age and status, it was not appropriate to say such advice.  He said with a smile: "When I was in Chang'an, I heard someone say that Mr. Shilang loves literature. It happens that my subordinates are also familiar with literature and have met some literary talents. Now we have Li Taibai and Chang Jian in our army.  If you don't mind being a staff member, I will ask those friends to bother you when I return to Chang'an in the future." Tuesday's words were modest and polite, but Du Hope didn't think so.  A year ago, Lao Du was replaced by Guo Yingyi as the governor of Shanzhou. At that time, he went to another Wangzhou next to Jingzhao Mansion to serve as the governor, half a year later.  He was lucky again.  He was directly transferred to the capital and became the second-in-command of the Ministry of War.  Du Xiang secretly did not spend a single ounce of money on two transfers and promotions. This kind of good fact is really incredible.  After he entered the Ministry of War, Shangshu Li Yi deliberately reminded him.  It is said that someone is actively working for him secretly.  Not only recommended him before the emperor.  And he also spent money to eliminate several powerful competitors for him.  Du Xiangxi was naturally grateful for this kind of official "live Lei Feng" who did good deeds without leaving a name, so he kept a little more thought in secret. As a result, he finally realized that his promotion was inextricably related to Erlang of the Zhou family.  Du Hope was actually able to step into the court with the joint recommendation of Zhang Jiuling, the chief minister, Gao Lishi, the chief internal affairs officer, Li Jing, the king of Ruyang, and Li Yi, the minister of the Ministry of War!  Li Yi is old.  Nowadays, he will only devote his energy to some military affairs that are related to the overall situation, so the candidate for the post of Minister of the Ministry of War is already half-assed in the seat of the minister.  Zhang Jiuling was willing to recommend him because he admired Du Xiang's characteristic of being a military commander who valued literature; Gao Lishi was willing to recommend him because he received a secret request from "Little Steel Ally" on Tuesday; Li Jing was willing to recommend him because he  Because on Tuesday, he gave a high-quality Cheng'en gift to the Prince of Ruyang that could last for three years; Li Yi was willing to recommend him because he valued Du Xiang's character of not joining gangs.  Because the official hat on his head has a great relationship with the young man in front of him, Du Xiang began to secretly pay attention to the actions of this young general in Suirong City, Shanzhou as early as Chang'an.  This time, Tuesday commanded the Suirong Army to achieve a shocking feat. Du Xiang couldn't believe it at first, so after he came to Fuqi City, he secretly conducted a verification. As a result, the more he investigated, the more frightened he became, and later he was frightened out.  Breaking out in a cold sweat.  The military information reported to the court by Shanzhou concealed the credit of Tuesday's men for capturing Kilixu alive, and also concealed the fact that the Suirong Army first started the battle of Qinghai Lake, and also concealed the fact that Tuesday's troops were divided into four groups at the beginning of the war.  "Causing trouble".  After seeing the training of the Suirong Army with his own eyes and learning the facts, Du Hope was greatly shocked by Tuesday's military prowess. He was thinking about how to take care of and support Tuesday at the Ministry of War after returning to Chang'an in order to repay Tuesday's kindness to him.  Secret support.  Hearing that Tuesday said that he would let his poetry friends come and walk with him in the future, Du Xiangxiang was naturally very happy and said with a smile: "Erlang is too self-effacing. If you only have some knowledge of literature and ink, there are still a few people in Chang'an City."  Do you dare to say that you understand poetry? Before I met Erlang, I had read many of Erlang's poems, and I especially praised the poem he wrote when he left Chang'an that day. " Once he talked about poetry, Du Xiang immediately praised it!  It was as if he had changed into a different person, exuding a somewhat elegant and extraordinary demeanor.    Tuesday¡¯s intention to let the literary and youthful poet friends he met hope to make friends with Du in the future was actually based on two considerations.  On the one hand, he hopes that a group of literary young people who only know how to recite poetry and composition can learn some masculinity from the decisive and decisive Minister of War and get rid of the sour and rotten atmosphere in each of them; on the other hand, he also hopes that through these literary circles,  With the help of his friends, he will remind Lao Du in time in the future, and even help him manage various interpersonal relationships at critical moments, helping Lao Du secure his position as Minister of War.  Of course, "dirty work" such as paying bribes can only be done by sending people on Tuesday.  Zhou Chengye and Du Xixi did not talk about money or personal relationships, but started with poetry, so they quickly won the favor of Lao Du. When he returned to Chang'an, he naturally worked hard for Zhou Chengye and the Suirong Army.  He made a lot of efforts in promoting the expansion and naming of the Suirong Army.  A month and a half after the end of the Tang Tu Qinghai Lake War, the imperial edict and general orders from the imperial court to reward the meritorious soldiers from all walks of life finally arrived in Shanzhou. The result was naturally a happy one.  Cui Xiyi, the governor of Hexi Province, was also granted the title of Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, Shanghujun, the Duke of Kaiguo County, and promoted to the governor of Henan; Zhang Zhongliang, the governor of Longyou, was granted the title of Doctor Jinziguanglu, Shanghujun,  He was granted the title of Duke of Kaiguo County; Guo Yingyi, the governor of Shanzhou, was granted the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu and General Yunhui for his meritorious service in commanding the battle. He was granted the title of Duke of Kaiguo County and awarded the title of Protector of the Army. The chief general of Baishui Army, Wang Zhongsi, killed the enemy because of his bravery in combat.  The number of chiefs was huge, and he was awarded the titles of General Zhongwu, Captain of Shangqingche and Kaiguo Bo; Zhou Chengye, the defender of Suirong City, was awarded the titles of General Zhuangwu, Captain of Qingche and Kaiguozi because of his bravery in fighting and killing many enemies; Shibao City  Guard general Bai Xiufeng was awarded the title of General Mingwei and Captain of Mounted Cavalry because of his bravery in combat; Suirong Army Deputy General Lu Dayong was awarded the title of General Dingyuan and Captain of Mounted Cavalry because of his bravery in combat and killed many enemies; Suirong Army Deputy General Jia  Because Erlong fought bravely and killed many enemies, he was awarded the title of General Ningyuan and the captain of the cavalry. The commander of the cavalry battalion of the Suirong Army, Ge Shuhan, was awarded the title of general of range and the captain of the cavalry because of his bravery in the battle and killed many enemies.  Ge Shuhan, the commander of the infantry battalion of the Rong army, was awarded the title of guerrilla general and cavalry captain because he fought bravely and killed many enemies.  In addition, Lei Wanchun, Li Bai, Chang Jian and other civil and military staff received awards for their meritorious service in battles, and they still served in front of Zhou Chengye's account.  In addition to the promotion of officers and nobles, the approval documents for the expansion of the Baishui Army and the Suirong Army were also sent.  The imperial court agreed to expand the Baishui Army to 20,000 troops and transfer them to Moliyi for garrison, and allocated a special military expenditure to expand Moli City.  The imperial court agreed to expand the Suirong Army to 20,000 troops and transfer them to Fuqi City for garrison, but did not mention a word about the cost of military expenditures.  In addition, the newly expanded Suirong Army was renamed the Zhenwu Army by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Its defense area was five hundred miles west of Qinghai Lake, and more than half of the entire Qinghai Lake from the island in the center of the lake to the west was also included in the  It is under the jurisdiction of Zhenwu Army.  The other half of Qinghai Lake from the island in the center of the lake to the east is under the jurisdiction of the Baishui Army.  When receiving the order from the Ministry of War, Lu Dayong, who originally defended Moliyi with Bai Xiufeng, had already led his army to Fuqi City, and the leading troops of the Baishui Army had also entered Moliyi.  After Zhou Chengye¡¯s generals learned about the imperial court¡¯s reward, none of them looked happy, but they were so angry that no one wanted to speak.  "Everyone has been promoted one by one, why are we still not happy?"  Just because the soldiers felt that the imperial court's reward for their general Zhou Chengye was a bit unfair, everyone felt that the reason why the Tang army was able to win the battle of Qinghai Lake this time should be attributed to Zhou Chengye's careful planning and bold attack.  ¡°Moreover, whether in terms of the number of enemies killed or the area of ??territory occupied, the Suirong Army undoubtedly beats the Baishui Army. Why is it that the chief general of the Baishui Army, Wang Zongsi, received every reward higher than Zhou Chengye?  Seeing that the generals were aggrieved for him, Zhou Chengye felt very happy, but said with a smile on his face: "Haha, don't be angry, everyone, this reward is given to me by me specifically to say hello to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel! You guys?  I don¡¯t even think about how old I am this year. If everything is awarded based on military merit, if we win a few more big victories, what will the court use to reward us?¡± After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.  My master will not be greedy for merit or compare with others. He is indeed an ambitious person.  On Tuesday, he continued to encourage the generals and said: "The imperial court has actually given us a lot of rewards this time. Now everyone only sees the benefits in their hands. Have you ever thought about what will happen once our army is expanded?"??With 20,000 warriors, how many achievements can we make on this endless prairie?  "After such a reminder on Tuesday, everyone suddenly thought that the Zhenwu Army would be on the front line against Tibet in the future. The thousands of miles of wilderness from Qinghai Lake to the west could become the battlefield of the Tang Army. At that time, they would just find a place to start the war.  With his name, he can go out on his own and no longer have to worry about being accused of sending troops without permission. Anyway, our General Tuesday has always been insidious and shameless, and he has caused friction and conflicts on the Tangtu border from time to time. This is really for him.  It¡¯s just a common occurrence!
