    The Ministry of War's approval to Guo Yingyi soon arrived at Longyou, and with it came Du Hope, who succeeded Guo Yingyi.  When there is a handover between two senior military commanders, the imperial court will naturally appoint an official with a sufficiently prominent status to supervise. Otherwise, it will not show that the imperial court attaches great importance to Guo Yingyi and Du Hope.  This time, the imperial eunuch sent by the imperial court was not the eunuch of the inner palace, but the old minister Li Yi.  When Du Xiang accompanied Li Yi to Huangshui City, Guo Yingyi was already ready. Not only had he arranged the accompanying generals and 20,000 soldiers, but also the food and grass baggage for the southward journey to Jiannan Road had been loaded onto the carriage.  In order to save face for Zu Lao Du, Guo Yingyi issued the last order in the name of the Governor of Shanzhou a few days ago, asking the commanders of the Shanzhou armies to put down their military affairs and come to Huangshui City to assemble and welcome the arrival of the new Governor.  Now there are Shenwei Army and Baishui Army on the front line against Tibet, and the commanders of these two armies are particularly brave guys. As long as they dare to leave the army and go back to Huangshui City to drink, the commanders of the other armies will  There is no need to worry about bloody things like mutiny and rebellion in the troops after he leaves.  The border troops of the Tang Dynasty were not a mob, but troops that had gone through the test of blood and fire and remained loyal to the Tang Dynasty.  When Guo Yingyi saw Du Hope, he was also very sad. He said with emotion: "Two years ago, I came to Longyou to take over Master Du's position. I didn't expect that Master Du would come to replace me two years later. Things are really unpredictable.  !" Du Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said with emotion: "There is still a difference! I was pushed away by you, a madman, and now you have left a mess for me to clean up!"  Guo Yingyi heard this.  Pretending to be angry, he said: "Damn it! What Lao Du said is a bit pretentious. If you are unwilling to return to Shanzhou, I will write to the Holy Emperor and the Ministry of War now to ensure that you continue to return to Chang'an as a capital official! Also,  What do you mean by the mess I left for you? You old boy can¡¯t get enough of it!¡± Even though Du Xiang was a scholar, he was no match for Guo Yingyi. He stiffened his neck and said: ¡°You still  I'm sorry to say! Shanzhou only has this little property. You went to Xichuan this time and mobilized 20,000 elites and took away all the generals who are good at fighting. Now you will leave me an empty shell. If it is Tubo.  The army will launch a war within the year, please teach me how to resist!" Lao Guo felt guilty and laughed a few times, and quickly changed the subject and started talking to Li Yi, no longer arguing with Du Hope.  Du hopes to come to Shanzhou.  He was summoned alone by Li Longji, and the main discussion between the emperor and his ministers was the general strategy of Shanzhou's fight against Tubo after Guo Yingyi left.  Li Longji did not conceal the contents of Guo Yingyi¡¯s letter from Du Hope, and carefully asked Du Hope that Shanzhou could mobilize up to a few percent of its troops without causing a significant decrease in combat effectiveness.  As the Minister of War, Du Xiang knew the situation of the troops stationed in various places. Although he knew the purpose of the emperor's inquiry, he still told the truth about Shanzhou's current combat power.  Up to 30,000 troops can be mobilized externally.  After hearing Du Hope¡¯s answer, Li Longji nodded to express his satisfaction, and then encouraged Du Hope to take advantage of the situation after arriving in Shanzhou, seize the time to prepare the army for war, and prepare for the upcoming battle between Tang and Tu.  Du hoped to hear an extremely important signal from Li Longji¡¯s words.  That is, the emperor seems to have bigger ideas about Tubo, and is most likely planning to launch a new round of attacks on Tubo from three directions: Jiannan, Longyou, and Hexi.  Because I know what the emperor is thinking.  So after Du Hope came to Shanzhou, he immediately made various handovers with Guo Yingyi, and then sent Guo Yingyi out of Shanzhou with a bang.  Guo Yingyi gritted his teeth and led an army of 20,000 people eastward along the Huangshui River. After arriving at the place where the Huangshui River entered the Yellow River, he turned south and traveled across states, counties, and mountains. After almost two months of hard work, he finally arrived.  Arrive at Sizhou, the residence of the Xichuan Jiedushi in Jiannan.  This Sizhou is located in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. In later generations, it was Xichang of Sichuan.  To the north of Yizhou is Lizhou, to the east is Rongzhou, to the south is Yaozhou, and to the west it borders the Tubo Kingdom.  Liuzhao, which often rebelled and revolted in the southwest border of Tang Dynasty, was located in Yaozhou.  Now that Guo Yingyi has led a force of less than 20,000 people to Xizhou, which is adjacent to Yaozhou, can it really stabilize the situation and deter the Liuzhao?  Let¡¯s ignore for the moment whether Guo Yingyi¡¯s life in Xizhou was easy or not. Let us go back two months, that is, shortly after Guo Yingyi left Shanzhou.  Having just finished a farewell banquet, Du Xiang took advantage of the fact that all the military generals were in Huangshui and immediately convened everyone for discussion.  A year ago, when I came to attend such a high-level military meeting on Tuesday, I could only say:?In the last corner, now he and Wang Zhongsi are sitting on both sides of Du Hope. This improvement in status is real.  Most of the generals in the group, except Wang Zhongsi and Zhou Chengye, who were promoted by Guo Yingyi after he came to Shanzhou, the rest are old people whom Du hopes to be familiar with.  Looking at this situation, Lao Du felt dizzy.  Although Wang Zhongsi and Zhou Chengye rose to their current position based on their solid military exploits, they are the youngest, but they now control the two most powerful troops in Shanzhou. How will they coordinate the other armies into the Shenwei Army in the future?  Providing cover and support with the White Water Army is a very thorny issue.  Others don¡¯t know what these veteran generals in Shanzhou are thinking, but Du Hope knows it very well.  Since he was transferred to the Ministry of War, many of his old subordinates secretly sent people to Chang'an to intercede, hoping that Du Xiang would help transfer them elsewhere.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of mind, everyone felt uncomfortable watching Wang Zhongsi and Zhou Chengye rise as fast as monkeys in the sky. Everyone felt that it would be difficult to get ahead in the future if they stayed in Shanzhou, so they all had the idea of ????transferring elsewhere.  Now, Du hopes to return to Shanzhou, and some of his old subordinates seem to have seen hope. They have temporarily endured it, just waiting for Lao Du to be promoted and put into a more important position, so that they can surpass General Wang Tuesday in terms of position and power.  However, how is it possible to suppress the two generals Wang Zhongsi and Zhou Chengye?  Du Hope has been working in the Ministry of War for two years, and now his perspective and perspective on problems are no longer what they used to be.  He clearly knew how much His Majesty the Emperor valued Wang Tuesday and General Wang Tuesday's ability.  To be honest, whether he can be proud of himself in Shanzhou from now on will depend on the abilities of Wang Zhongsi and Zhou Chengye!  Du Xixi suppressed his doubts for the time being and told everyone straight to the point: "Before I came to Shanzhou, I was fortunate enough to be summoned by the Holy One. His Majesty personally told me that in order to support the military operations in Jiannan Road and reduce the pressure of Guo Shijun in Xichuan  Due to the pressure, Datang will once again mobilize heavy troops in Hexi and Longyou in the autumn and winter of this year. They will launch offensives from Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, Shanzhou, Kuozhou, Hezhou, Taozhou, and Diezhou at the same time. They must let Tubo  The whole country is terrified and has no time to send troops to the outskirts of Yaozhou! " "We in Shanzhou have strong soldiers and horses, and we have always been an important force against Tibet. Last year, you defeated Tibet near Qinghai Lake, which inspired the government and the public.  , I hope that from today onwards, all armies will be in full strength, ready for war, and will use four months to make preparations for the war, and strive to show their power in the upcoming war!" The generals in the hall heard that Tang Tu!  There was another big battle to be fought, and they were all gearing up, and everyone was excited.  After the encouragement meeting, Du Xiangxi met with the generals of Lintao Army, Heyuan Army, Xuanwei Army, Anren Army, Weirong Army, Suihe Shouhuo, Hechuan Shouhuo, Baishui Army and Shenwei Army in order.  The Zhenwu Army in Shanzhou was originally stationed at Shibao City, but this time they were all taken to Xichuan by Guo Yingyi. Shibao City was garrisoned by a partial division sent by the Baishui Army stationed on the front line of Moli City.  When Du hoped to meet with other military generals, he basically said the same words, nothing more than encouraging the generals to rest assured on their duties and strive to make great contributions in the upcoming battle. As long as everyone works hard, he will do his best to pay tribute to them when the time comes.  The Ministry of War recommends everyone so that everyone can be promoted after the war.  "Lao Du's two years in the Ministry of War were not in vain. With his words of encouragement and comfort, the generals in Shanzhou gradually stabilized their minds and finally stabilized the situation.  When he met Wang Zhongsi, Du Xixi's attitude was particularly cordial. He asked carefully about the specific situation of the expansion training of the Baishui Army. He also said over Wang Zhongsi's shoulder: "General Wang is an unparalleled general, and his future achievements will definitely not be achieved by this governor."  In comparison, I hope you can set an example for all the armies in Shanzhou!" Wang Zhongsi is now very dignified, calm and sophisticated. He was not blown away by Du Hope's flattery, but said very humbly: "  The governor has promoted the last general. If there is an unparalleled general, it is none other than General Zhou Chengye of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with him, I still have many shortcomings." Du Xiang saw Wang Zhongsi being so humble and liked him even more. He nodded and said: "  General Wang is so open-minded, but I am even more reassured! To be honest, when I came here, the Holy Spirit specifically asked me to supervise you and General Tuesday to make sure that you two should avoid arrogance and impatience, and make new achievements.  It seems that I don¡¯t have to worry about you at all, but that audacious Tuesday really gave me a headache!¡± Wang Zhongsi is a kind man. In the past six months, the White Water Army and the Shenwei Army have cooperated very closely in private, it¡¯s almost like  They are like brothers, but the Baishui Army mostly benefited from the Shenwei Army. He defended Tuesday and said: "The Governor must not think that General Zhou is impetuous and unstable just because he is young. In fact, General Zhou and General Zhou  Since our friendship, we have often??I am impressed by his thoughtfulness, calmness and decisiveness.  The Shenwei Army has General Zhou in charge, and Tubo can't even hope to get even a cent from him!  " Du hope secretly said that he hoped so, and then talked with Wang Zhongsi for a while, and then asked someone to call to see him on Tuesday.
