Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1006 Guo Xiaoke's Chance
The vegetation is withered, and the leaves are rustling.

The strong wind blows over the vast desert, carrying fine wind and sand raging between the sky and the earth. The caravan on the road is like an old woman covered with a veil in the wind and sand, faltering and moving forward with difficulty.

After this sandstorm, the entire Western Regions will fall into severe winter.

Inside the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion, Guo Xiaoke's mood was similar to this increasingly cold climate, falling into an irreversible winter bit by bit...

Official documents from Chang'an came one after another, all of which were harshly reprimanding and reprimanding.

A winemaking workshop has already been established, but without Fang Jun's secret recipe, the taste of the grapes produced is quite different from that of Fang's workshop. All merchants are dissatisfied, and sales have dropped again and again.

The consequences of the "banning" of wool mills are obviously more serious.

With the arrival of severe winter, all tribes in the Western Regions are preparing supplies for the winter.The tribes that destroyed their cultivated land to raise goats were miserable.The Fang family's wool workshop no longer exists, but the trustworthy Anxi Governor does not plan to buy wool, so the various tribes have to continue to raise the goats as food for the winter.But a tribe can have hundreds or thousands of people, how much food can they survive this winter?Such a little mutton is obviously not enough.

The situation seems to be back to the past.

If you want the whole tribe to survive this winter, you have to fight for it. Natural selection of the fittest will survive. Only the strongest can survive.

The situation in the entire Western Region is in turmoil. If it were not for the fear of the powerful fighting power of the Tang army, the various tribes would have started fighting and fighting each other to plunder supplies...

Facing the imminent situation, Guo Xiaoke's heart was icy cold, but his mouth was full of blisters.He himself understood that it was the dangerous situation in the Western Regions that he had created by himself that prevented the imperial court from removing him immediately, so as not to aggravate the turmoil.

But the imperial court's patience has a limit, he has to perform crimes and meritorious deeds to restore his image in the eyes of His Majesty and the ministers, even if the position of Anxi Governor has to be dismissed, he can still seek a good position in the future.Otherwise, even if His Majesty couldn't bear to deal with him because of his past achievements, he would definitely sit idle and stand aside, without any political status.

"Report!"

The military guard shouted outside the hall.

"Come in!"

"Report to the Commander, the big thing is not good! I just received the news from the secret agent that the Western Turkic Yugu set up Khan to kill Shaboluo Yehu ten days ago, and then attacked Tocharo, and invaded Yizhou three days ago !"

The military guard was sweating profusely and spoke extremely fast.

Guo Xiaoke was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked: "Is the news true?"

"After a thorough investigation, there are three spies who spread the same news at the same time. It should be correct."

This is a big deal. Yizhou's military strength is less than a thousand people. Once it is attacked by Turkic cavalry, breaking the city is only a matter of turning the palm of your hand.With the loss of Yizhou, the already serious predicament of his own general will inevitably be worsened. How to explain to the court?
Unexpectedly, instead of being nervous and panicked, his own boss looked excited, slammed the table in front of him, and shouted: "Good time!"

The military guard was stunned...

Dashuai drank too much, still didn't wake up?
The Turks dared to invade on such a large scale, it must have been carefully arranged, it can be said that the comer was not kind, so why did they want to say hello?

Guo Xiaoke was in a good mood, and immediately ordered: "Quickly rule all the generals under your command, and come here immediately to discuss the matter of dispatching troops. If there is any delay, the military law will handle it!"

"promise!"

The military guard retreated in a daze, notifying the lieutenant general everywhere.

Guo Xiaoke laughed three times, and said to himself: "Mother, if you really dozed off, someone will give you a pillow! If you want to, I will capture you under the steps someday, and I will definitely treat you to a few drinks!"

This is a good opportunity to break the game!

As long as he can defeat the main force of the Turks, he will be able to make up for the mistakes he made in the grape wine and wool workshops.After defeating the Turkic cavalry, who else would dare to be dishonest in the Western Regions?

If Khan Yugushe can be captured alive, it will not only be a matter of redemption, but also an inexhaustible feat that can be compared with Li Jing!
At that time, who else would dare to discuss Guo Xiaoke's previous mistakes?

In less than a moment, all the generals under his command came to the lobby.

Guo Xiaoke was also a famous general, so he was familiar with marching and fighting. He immediately arranged for the transportation of food and supplies, the dispatch of vanguards, and the arrangement of scouts.

At the same time, Tie Le and other ministries of the Tang Dynasty anxiously surrendered and ordered them to immediately send cavalry to Yizhou for reinforcements!

Guo Xiaoke's heart was on fire!
As long as he wins this battle, his status will be as stable as Mount Tai, and the title of a duke of a country will be secure!

Time is turning for me!

*****
At night, Wu Meiniang called her sister Wu Shunniang into the room and asked about Fang Jun's injury during the day.Hearing Wu Shunniang said that Fang Jun's injury was caused by Princess Changle, Wu Meiniang almost bit her own tongue with widened eyes!
"How could the two of them have an affair?"

Wu Meiniang felt that she could not accept it.

She is well aware of Fang Jun's charm, he is in a high position at a young age, and he is talented in poetry and poetry, which has a fatal attraction for women.But how can Princess Changle be compared with ordinary women?

As Fang Jun said in his article "Ai Lian Shuo", "The middle is straight and the outer is straight, without vines or branches, the fragrance is far away and clear, the pavilion is clean and planted, and it can be seen from a distance but not played with." "...

How can such a beautiful woman with such a clear and dignified dignity have an affair with a man so casually like an ordinary woman?Not to mention that this man is also my sister's consort!
Wu Shunniang said with a smile: "It's not what you think, maybe Erlang is interested in His Royal Highness Luohua, but Princess Changle is ruthless, so Erlang was injured by Princess Changle, right?"

She thinks this is the truth of the matter. As for the misunderstanding Fang Jun told her, she doesn't believe it at all.Which man doesn't steal?Even if Wu Shunniang is very self-reliant, she can't help but feel admiration for someone as delicate as a lotus like Princess Changle, not to mention Fang Jun, a young and handsome man who is full of vigor and close to the water?
It's really normal for Wu Shunniang to be a fair lady and a gentleman likes to be nice.

If he didn't have outstanding looks, Fang Jun would have stolen himself too?

Wu Meiniang had a headache, took her sister's hand, and said sadly: "Then what happened to you and Erlang, sister? To be honest, my sister wants you to be with Erlang. After all, my sister has been a widow for so many years, and her life is really too rough. Desolate and lonely. But sister, you should know that with Erlang's status and your status as the daughter-in-law of the Helan family, it is impossible for us sisters to be brought into the mansion together..."

Fang Jun is a son-in-law, so it is not a big deal to have a few concubines, but her sister is the daughter-in-law of the Helan family.Even if the Helan family lost the glory of their ancestors, they were still a first-class wealthy family in Guanzhong. How could they tolerate their daughter-in-law being a concubine for others?
Wu Shunniang stroked the hair on her temples, a helpless smile appeared on her delicate face, and a sense of charm flowed naturally.

"How dare my sister ask for more? My sister admires Erlang's talent and bearing, and Erlang loves my sister's body. If we can meet occasionally to comfort the pain of lovesickness, my sister is satisfied. It's just that this shamelessness makes my sister sad... ..."

Identity, after all, is a knot in Wu Shunniang's heart.

If Fang Jun is not the younger sister's husband-in-law, then Wu Shunniang, who has long been obsessed with Fang Jun, would have thrown herself into Fang Jun's embrace like a moth flying into the flame.She doesn't care about the principles of ethics, etiquette, integrity and shame!

But she can't help but care about her sister's feelings...

Wu Meiniang bit her lips, her beautiful eyes were flushed, she gently stretched her arms around her sister's still slender waist, and sighed softly: "Although our sisters have mothers alive, they have been dependent on each other these years, who has cared about us? As long as my sister can live a happier life, what else can my sister be reluctant to do?"

Wu Shunniang evoked the sad past, she also shed tears, and the two sisters hugged each other and wept.

What kind of life did they live in the Wu family these years?
She was originally a young lady of the Wu family, but she was not even as good as a servant of some status. She didn't have enough to eat, didn't wear warm clothes, was often scolded, and did the work that servants would do...

Because of this, Wu Meiniang entered the palace voluntarily.

Now that I have found my home, Erlang treats me with sincerity and care, and I must hold on to this happiness tightly.

If my sister can fall in love with Erlang, even if she is sneaky like this, it will be better than living alone and miserable...
