In Lanzhou, Jincheng, the marshal of the Tang Dynasty's counter-rebellion army camped.
Guo Ziyi and the generals were sitting in the lobby, all of them frowning.
The Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode tribes of the Western Qin Army had stopped moving more than half a month ago.
The land in Hexi has been restored, and the Hexi Corridor has been connected, but the barbarians The main force of the rebels is still there.
Now most of the main forces of these barbarian rebels have retreated to the surrounding areas of the Xihai and Longyou areas south of the Qilian Mountains, and firmly occupy this large area.
The Western Qin army stood still, which made Guo Ziyi's Tang counter-rebellion army appear to be weak and isolated.
A middle-aged strong man wearing heavy armor stood up.
This was Guo Ziyi's second son Guo Yuan.
He clasped his fists at Guo Ziyi and said: "Father, we can't always place our hopes on the Western Qin army.
Could it be that they have been standing still?
We Do you have to wait forever?
Then how to put down this barbarian rebellion?"
Deputy Marshal Wang Sili frowned and said: "According to reliable information, the barbarian rebels still have nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses south of the Qilian Mountains and the Longyou area, but our army now only has 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is slightly weaker in strength. , if they attack separately, they are in danger of being defeated by each one.
Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode I don’t know what happened, but why did they suddenly stop fighting?
Isn’t this a good fight?
It’s good for them to stop now.
The barbarian rebels who have hurriedly retreated to the south of the Qilian Mountains have a chance to breathe again.
They can take the opportunity to rest and reorganize their troops. , Reinforcing the city defense has brought great resistance to our counterinsurgency."
Guo Ziyi's sixth son, Guo Yan, hurriedly walked into the lobby and clasped his fists, saying, "Father, the imperial court has sent an envoy."
Upon hearing this, Guo Ziyi immediately said to the generals and officials: "Everyone, please follow me and come out to greet you."
Half an hour later, everyone was sitting in the lobby again, but there was a seat next to Guo Ziyi, and sitting on the seat was the eunuch Ju Wenzhen.
Guo Ziyi asked: "Eunuch Ju, I wonder what your Majesty's decree is?"
Ju Wenzhen said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty, the Zajia family did not bring your Majesty's decree this time.
It's just that Your Majesty has something difficult to decide, and the matter is related to your Majesty, so I sent the Zajia family to bring a memorial for your Majesty to review."
"After speaking, he took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to Guo Ziyi.
Guo Ziyi didn't know why.
He took the memorial with both hands and opened it.
After just one glance, his expression changed drastically.
Then he read the entire content of the memorial with an angry look on his face and said angrily: "This evil obstacle, evil obstacle" The memorial was closed, Guo Ziyi's hand holding it trembled, other generals and officials in the hall were confused, but Ju Wenzhen had a faint sinister smile on his eyebrows.
Guo Ziyi handed the memorial to Wang Sili and asked the generals and officials to read it one by one.
After reading it, everyone understood the reason why the Western Qin army stood still.
Ju Wenzhen, who was drinking tea, saw everyone in the lobby looking at each other, so he put down his tea cup and smiled at Guo Ziyi: "Your Majesty, your Majesty could have issued an order to deal with this matter immediately, but Guo Xin is your nephew, your Majesty."
Your Majesty is now the Optimus Prime of the Tang Dynasty.
Due to your kindness, Your Majesty is really not able to make a decision.
The punishment is severe. , He was worried that the Duke would look bad on his face, and the punishment would be light, and the King of Western Qin would not be able to explain it to him.
Later, His Majesty learned about the relationship between the Duke and the King of Western Qin, and then he realized that this matter would be easier to handle if the Duke was left to handle it himself.
There are too many, so I sent a miscellaneous family to bring the memorial and give it to the Duke.
How to deal with it depends on the Duke himself."
Ju Wenzhen's words can be said to be true to every word.
No matter how well-mannered Guo Ziyi is, her face will turn blue and white after hearing these words, and her face will change faster than in Sichuan opera.
After a long time, Guo Ziyi said angrily to his second son Guo Yuan: "Guo Yuan, you take two hundred soldiers to Qiuci to capture Guo Xin and bring him back to his father."
Guo Yuan clasped his fists and agreed: "Yes, my father is handsome."
"Wait a minute."
Ju Wenzhen stopped him quickly and asked: "Guo Linggong, what are you doing?
Guo Xin is the empress of Anxi who is personally appointed by His Majesty.

He knows how to handle affairs.
He is a general in the border town of the imperial court.
How can you arrest him casually?"
Guo Ziyi was a little angry and dizzy.
She slapped her forehead and said: "What the father-in-law said is true.
I am dizzy because of this evil spirit.
Guo Ming, you write a letter and send someone to Qiuci and ask Guo Xin to come to Jincheng to help me."
Father wants to tell him something.”
Guo Yan cupped his fists and said, "Yes, my father is handsome."
Then Guo Ziyi wrote an apology memorial in his own hand, saying that Guo Xin had no regard for the overall situation of the court and was too selfish.
It was all due to his uncle's teachings.
He apologized to the emperor and the court and allowed the court to deal with it.
At the same time, he suggested that the court immediately deprive Guo Xin He won the title of nobility and official title, and sent other wise men out to control Anxi.
The memorial was quickly brought back to Chang'an by Ju Wenzhen and presented to Li Yu.
After discussing with the ministers, Li Yu ordered to deprive Guo Xin of his title and official title, and appointed Cao Lingzhong to go out to Anxi to stay in Anxi to handle affairs.
At the same time, he demoted Guo Ziyi He served as Shangshu Zuopushe and was still appointed as the marshal of the anti-rebellion army.
Protector of Anxi and Jiedushi of the Four Towns, and Liu Hou and Zhijiedushi in Anxi.
Although these two positions have the same rights, their status in the court is completely different.
As the saying goes, Anxi Liuqiu and Zhijiedu To deal with the matter, the person who wiped the butt said that the imperial court actually no longer cares about Anxi, has given up its control over Anxi, and will no longer provide support in terms of troops, financial resources, and military equipment.
Everything must be left to Anxi after he is informed.
Jiedu matters will be solved by themselves.
After the imperial court dealt with it, Guo Ziyi personally went to Liangzhou to meet with Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode to discuss military operations south of the Qilian Mountains and the Longyou area.
Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode had received instructions from Western Qin and could cooperate.
Guo Ziyi launched a military operation, so he was very polite to Guo Ziyi, and the three of them worked together to formulate a joint attack on the rebels.
On August 22nd, Zhao Ziliang led his army into the Nibolu Kingdom, and was warmly welcomed by the monarchs, ministers and people of the Nibolu Kingdom.
The army received orders and had no offense with the local people.
King Niboluo asked people to prepare a large amount of wine, meat and labor for the army, and also presented a large amount of grain and grass.
Zhao Ziliang ordered his people to accept them one by one.
The current Nipala Kingdom is in the period of the Lichavis dynasty.
The king is called Kamadeva.
The Lichavis are a caste that migrated from India.
In the middle of the first century AD, the Lichavis moved to the Kathmandu Valley of the Nipala Kingdom and defeated He conquered the Kirat dynasty here and drove the Kirad people to the eastern part of Niboluo Kingdom, where they established the Li Chawei dynasty, which has lasted more than 500 years.
On the night of August 25th, Kamadeva, the king of the Lichavi dynasty of the Nipala Kingdom, hosted a banquet for Zhao Ziliang in his palace.
Tonight, the king's palace was full of singing, dancing, playing and playing, and girls wearing revealing clothes and exposing their bellies were there.
The belly was constantly shaking to the accompaniment of various musical instruments, which made the generals of the Western Qin Army thirsty.
Kamadewa introduced a dish on the table to Zhao Ziliang, "Your Majesty, please try this dish.
This dish is called bald algae, also called spinach.
It originated in Persia.
More than a hundred years ago, Xiao Wang's Our ancestor Nalatibo sent an envoy to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and presented the seeds of this vegetable.
After that, the Tang Dynasty also had this spinach.
This dish is sweet and extremely delicious."
Zhao Ziliang looked at the table in front of him and said with a smile: "Isn't this spinach?
Because it is produced in Persia, it is called spinach.
I have heard of your ancestors presenting spinach seeds to His Majesty Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
Kama quickly said: "Yes, it's called spinach."

At this time, a Nibala warrior outside the palace came in and reported: "King, Master Shankara is asking for an audience outside the palace gate."
Zhao Ziliang was surprised and said: "Brahmin Shankara?
Why is he here?"
King Kamadeva explained to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, the people of our country of Mudhara believe in Brahmanism, especially the Shiva sect and the Vaishnava sect the most, followed by the Brahma sect, and the least believers in Buddhism.
Master Luo is a master of Brahmin, and it is very common for him to come here to preach to the believers."
Zhao Ziliang glanced at the officials and generals of the Nibala Kingdom in the hall and found that many of these officials and generals wore skull jewelry.
They were all followers of the Shiva sect.
"That's it."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said to King Kama: "I have met Master Shankara several times, why not invite him in for a talk?"
Kama saluted and said: "I will obey the king's will."
After saying that, he ordered people to invite Shankara.
After a while, Shankara walked in wearing a gray autumn robe, followed by several followers.
These followers were all powerful men.
They looked like people with strong martial arts skills.
They should all be Shankara. followers and guards.
"The poor monk Shankara pays homage to the two great kings."
Shankara walked to the middle of the hall and saluted Zhao Ziliang and Kama.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Why did the master come to Niboluo Kingdom?"
Shankara smiled and said: "Back to the king, Shankara heard that the king led troops to conquer Tibet, so he came day and night to protect the king, and secondly, he opened an altar to preach to thousands of believers in Nibala Kingdom."
Zhao Ziliang said curiously: "Master, you have to protect the law for me and lead the army to fight.
You, an outsider and weak, how can you protect the law for me?"
Shankara said: "Your Majesty, you don't know that there are many demons and heretics in Tubo who often use witchcraft and magic to harm people.
Although your Majesty is among a million soldiers and has peerless martial arts, you are not proficient in the realm of soul and spirit.
With this technique, if the evil heretics of Tubo attack the king with spiritual and soul power from a far distance, the king will be unable to defend himself."
Zhao Ziliang has never really seen anyone who uses mental and soul power as a means of attack, but this does not mean that he does not believe in the existence of this kind of power.
In this ancient world, there have always been generals who can defeat ten thousand people in all dynasties.
This is by no means nonsense.
He He is the enemy of thousands of people.
The power in his body would be unbelievable in later generations, but it is real in this era.
Wang Ximing, the chief eunuch of the Qin Tianjian of the Western Qin Dynasty appointed by Zhao Ziliang, is a representative figure of Taoism in the Western Qin Dynasty.
The method he practices is dual cultivation of life and life, which cultivates both the body and the soul.
Zhao Ziliang's previous practice of the Ma Shan combat technique is a Taoist dual cultivation method of life and life.
Its main direction is of course the strengthening of the physical body, and the soul aspect is only an auxiliary.
After these years of practice, the degree of physical strengthening is ignored.
Putting aside for the moment, he could feel that this technique was also very helpful to the spirit.
It could make people more energetic
