First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 173 Shangjin Hussar Mansion

...

Not to mention, but the simple four words of abolishing the county and establishing the state are extremely complicated. The inherent land in Guanzhong is not bad, such as Hedong and other areas bordering other forces, it is necessary to re-delineate administrative divisions and select officials. .

"Have you changed to Hussar?" Gao Junya asked Gao Chong after drinking three glasses of wine.

Gao Chong nodded, and immediately asked: "I thought I would be an official of the Prince of Qin's palace, but I didn't expect to be dispatched as a Hussar General. Aye, do you think this is a saint, what is the meaning?"

Gao Junya raised her brows when she heard this, "It's right that you can think a little more, but this time, you think too much."

Gao Chong was stunned.

Gao Junya continued: "Nowadays the Tang Dynasty is facing difficulties at every step. The sage doesn't have those thoughts, he only thinks about using it because of the cause. Since you started the army, you have demonstrated your talents in the military many times, so the sage arranged it like this."

As Gao Junya twirled her beard, she said slowly: "If there is a deep meaning, then there is indeed one."

"what?"

"To show honor and favor", Gao Junya said bluntly: "Although you have made great achievements, you are still young and can't reach the point of leading an army alone."

Gao Chong was a little ashamed. It turned out that part of the reason for this Hussar General was that Li Yuan was named Gao Junya, or because of the face of the Bohai Gao family.

Seeing Gao Chong's appearance, Gao Junya immediately said: "Do you know the importance of Hussar Generals? The basics. Zhang Pinggao, Li Sixing, and Li Gaoqian are old officials from Taiyuan. They have fought many battles and made great achievements. They were awarded the rank of general of hussars. Don't underestimate them."

Hearing this, Gao Chong naturally responded, of course he would not underestimate the position of Hussar General, the title of leading an army alone cannot be underestimated.

Then Gao Junya seemed to think of something, "You have been entrusted with the Shangjin Hussar Mansion in Shangzhou, and the Shangjin Military Mansion is the upper mansion, and the number of soldiers is at least [-], you should know this."

Gao Chong nodded. When he received the imperial decree, the servant Xuanzhi explained to him that Shangjin originally belonged to Shangluo County. After the county was abolished and established as a prefecture, it was changed to Shangzhou. It is very dangerous, guarding the same Central Plains and Jingchu pass, which is the southeast gateway of Guanzhong.

"Shangzhou, Jindong, and Xizhou, you can go to Dengzhou," Gao Junya suddenly said with a low mood.

Xizhou is the original Xiyang County, and Dengzhou is the original Nanyang County.

Hearing Gao Junya's words, Gao Chong immediately understood that Gao Junya thought of Lu Zizang, Duke of Nanyang County again.

Lu Zizang was recruited by Gao Junya himself. The two had a close relationship and fought side by side to defeat Zhu Can. Unfortunately, after Gao Junya's class teacher returned to the court, Zhu Can revived, broke Rang County, and killed Lu Zizang. The separatist regime was in Dengzhou, and the so-called capital of Chu State was also set up in Champion County.

When he learned that Lu Zizang had been killed, Gao Junya wrote a letter to invite troops to lead the army to attack Zhu Can, but at that time Li Yuan was busy with his enthronement, so he put Zhu Can on hold for the time being.

Thinking of this, Gao Chong said straightly: "Zhu Can separatized Dengzhou and killed my general. The sage will definitely not rest with him, otherwise there will be no face. Now that the country has been established, it is time to start conquering Zhu Can."

At this time, Gao Junya raised his head suddenly, the corners of his mouth raised, "I see, the sage really has a delicate mind."

Seeing that Gao Chong was puzzled, Gao Junya got up and said directly: "You are ready to go out", and then walked away with brisk steps.

"It's like this again?" Gao Chong was stunned, "Aye, you made it clear."

"Zhu Can", Gao Junya turned out of the dining room and left, leaving only two words.

"Zhu Can?" Gao Chong was a little dazed, and then hurriedly opened the map, leaving Xizhou from Shangjin to face Zhu Can.

The failure to completely wipe out Zhu Can, resulting in the murder of Lu Zizang, was a pain in Gao Junya's heart, but now that Gao Junya's official servant is the Minister of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for him to lead the army in person.

And it was absolutely impossible for Li Yuan to let Zhu Can continue to separate Dengzhou and proclaim himself emperor. One more day Zhu Can lived was one more day of slapping Li Yuan in the face, and Li Yuan had to avenge Nanyang County Duke Lu Zizang.

Li Yuan naturally did not forget the existence of Gao Junya, so he appointed Gao Junya's son Gao Chong as the Hussar General of Shangjin Hussar Mansion. It is reasonable and reasonable for Gao Chong to complete Gao Junya's unfinished business.

After thinking through this link, Gao Chong was quite excited and couldn't sleep all night. Of course, Gao Chong also knew that he must not be the leader. After all, Zhu Can had more than 19 troops. Isn't it a joke that a [-]-year-old hussar general leads an army to conquer.

Three days later, Gao Chong bid farewell to his grandmother Lu Shi and others in Anyefang, and led more than ten guards including Kaohsiung to Shangjin, Shangzhou. The next night, Gao Chong arrived at the city in the mountains and forests.

Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shangjin has been a battleground for military strategists. It borders the Han River in the south and the Qinling Mountains in the north. It is located at the junction of Qin and Chu. It is known as "the throat of Qin and Chu".

Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, once set up a military town here and guarded it with heavy troops to guard the Han River. In the fourth year of Wei and Huangchu in the Three Kingdoms period, Pingyang County was set up here, and in the fourth year of Nanliang Datong, it was renamed Shangjin County.

At this time, there were only about [-] soldiers in the Shangjin Hussar's Mansion, the chariot general was from a wealthy local family, his name was Rong Zheng, his appearance was quite heroic, but his conversation was very elegant.

Facing Gao Chong's ending, Rong Zheng did not show any displeasure, but was rather enthusiastic, and all arrangements were thoughtful.

The next day, they greeted Gao Chong in the military mansion. There were not many people in the hall, only five or six people including the long history of Huqi mansion and the school captain. toast.

"I look forward to it day and night, but I am looking forward to General Gao. Once General Gao comes, I will have the backbone of the Shangjin Hussar Mansion. Come on, colleagues, raise your glasses together to celebrate the arrival of General Gao." Rong Zheng He was quite eloquent, and his words raised everyone's emotions instantly.

Gao Chong also raised his glass and drank heavily, and said directly: "Everyone, I am new here, and I only have eight words for you, let's make meritorious deeds and eat meat together."

Hearing these words, all the generals immediately shouted, and Rong Zheng also laughed loudly, "General Gao is really straightforward, brothers, you know that General Gao came from a prominent family background, from the Gao family in Bohai, and the father of General Gao is my Chaoyan father." Duke, but what I admire the most is that General Gao did not rely on his family status or his father's shadow. He fought in the Xihe River, took the East River, and fought in the Heihe Valley. He just won this official position with a knife and a gun. Come, let's pay a respect to General Gao."

Gao Chong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "General Rong knows me quite well."

Rong Zheng raised his head and smiled without concealing it, "I heard that I'm going to be a senior official, so I'm a lowly official so I have to inquire about it. I'll punish myself with three cups, so don't blame the general."
