The grain road to Xiangluo was opened again, and was guarded secretly by Zhongli Jun. Qu Gao relieved his worries. When he went to Xiangyang City in person, he saw that Shi Min did not attack Xiangyang, and Qu Gao relieved his worries again. When he returned to Luoyang, Qu Gao
My mind is like a bird in the sky, free and happy, free and easy.
Luoyang has gradually become more stable and prosperous, but the situation in the Central Plains has become more turbulent. The three cities of Xuchang, Xiping, and Runan were weakly defended. Shi Min captured them effortlessly and returned to Luo in early May. Zu Ti, the leader of the Jianghuai Army, died in battle.
Shi Hu took the opportunity to press heavily on the border and annihilated all the Jianghuai defenders.
The power of Zhao State continued to encroach on the land of the Central Plains, and the Jin Dynasty was in danger and almost destroyed.
Qu Gao had expected this situation. Zhao Guo had strong soldiers and horses, and it would only be a matter of time before the Jin Dynasty was annexed. This was something that Qu Gao could not change, so he did not need to worry about it. The only thing Qu Gao worried about was Xiangyang!
On this day, Shi Hu once again sent an envoy to Luoyang, urging Shi Min to capture Xiangyang as soon as possible, but Shi Min was furious: "I have captured all the cities around Xiangyang, what will happen if I leave Xiangyang alone!"
Seeing that Shi Min was furious, the envoy did not dare to provoke him any more, so he had to persuade him with kind words: "General, the Jin Dynasty now only has three cities: Xiangyang, Guangling and Jiankang. Your Majesty wants to wipe out the Jin Dynasty.
No way. Your Majesty is currently busy with the civil uprising in Jianghuai and has no time to take Guangling and Jiankang. If the general keeps delaying it until the king personally arrives with his army, the father-son relationship between the king and the general may be damaged."
Seeing that Shi Min was unmoved, the envoy did not dare to say anything more, so he had to retreat angrily.
Perhaps Shihu's army annexed various cities in the Central Plains too quickly, and before it could be digested, civil unrest broke out in many places in the Central Plains. Shihu was so anxious that it took him two years to pacify various places.
After quelling the civil uprisings in various places, Shi Hu's army marched south, successfully captured Guangling, and surrounded Jiankang on three sides.
On the other hand, Shi Hu once again sneaked to Luoyang, urging Shi Min to conquer Xiangyang within ten days. This time, because the envoy was rude, Shi Min directly beheaded the envoy and sent him back.
"General, it's been three years. We can't delay it any longer. Although the king and the general are like father and son, they are not bound by blood after all. The king appreciates the general because the general is invincible and is the sharpest sword in his hand. If this sword
If you don't want to unsheath it, it will be useless no matter how hard you attack it." In the military tent, only Shi Min and Zha Li Ke were left. On the tables in front of Shi Min's seat were placed a series of military orders issued by Shi Hu.
Shi Min slammed the table, making a dull sound, and Zhali Ke immediately shut up. On the desk, Shi Min's fists clenched tighter and tighter, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. Shi Min's eyesight
There was silence in the room, but Zhali Ke had followed him for many years and knew that the calmer Shi Min's eyes were, the more cold murderous intent was hidden in his eyes. But Zhali Ke couldn't tell who Shi Min wanted to kill?
The curtain opened, and a young man in red clothes walked in. Maybe it was the lazy sunshine outside, but it still clung to his red clothes after entering the tent. The faint soft light brought gentle warmth, and in an instant he
Resolve the tense atmosphere in the tent.
Zhali Ke saluted the visitor with clasped fists, and then exited the tent.
"The thirteenth military order, general, send out troops!" Qu Gao stood upright in the center of the military tent. He looked at Shi Min intently, his eyes full of gratitude. Seeing Shi Min startled, Qu Gao
Then he said: "Speaking of which, I have never thanked the general for allowing me to be the lord of Luoyang, teaching me excellent martial arts, and protecting Xiangyang for so long."
When Shi Min heard that Qu Gao asked him to send troops, he couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that even after being the king of Luoyang for three years, Qu Gao's love for Xiangyang had not faded. But at this time, Qu Gao personally asked him to send troops.
Xiangyang, of course this was not his original intention, he just didn’t want to be embarrassed by these thirteen military orders.
In the past three years, the two of them have been more like confidants than masters and servants, or brothers. Shi Min knew that Qu Gao cared about Xiangyang, so he never got involved again. If he was rushed by Shi Hu's military order
, he captured several cities in the east, west, north and south and handed them over to Shi Hu; Shi Min handed over all the government affairs of Luoyang to Qu Gao, and devoted two hours a day to teach him martial arts and military tactics. Wherever Qu Gao was weak, Shi Min
He will try his best to make up for it. Nowadays, Qu Gao is not only good at handling government affairs, but his martial arts and military skills have also made great progress. Even in a sparring match with Zha Li Ke, Qu Gao was lucky enough to win half of his moves.
Qu Gao lived up to Shi Min's trust, spent three years of hard work, and used all the business power left by Zhu Yan, and finally restored the glory and prosperity of Luoyang City to the past! In the past three years, he has promoted administrative affairs and regulated the Hu people.
At that time, he encountered many obstacles. Although Qu Gao held the sword given by Shi Min himself and had the power of life and death, he knew that those Hu soldiers were brothers who followed Shi Min through life and death. If Qu Gao used this sword to kill
Killing Shi Min's subordinates will definitely make Shi Min unable to advance or retreat. Therefore, in the past three years, the sword has never seen blood!
Of course, what makes Qu Gao most grateful is that Shi Min protected Xiangyang for three years. Qu Gao knew the weight of those thirteen military orders, and also knew that Shi Min had done too much for him. Now that the overall situation of the world has been decided, Qu Gao
It would be too selfish for Gao Gao to use Xiangyang to embarrass Shi Min again. Therefore, Qu Gao came here personally to persuade Shi Min to send troops.
"Xiao Gao, how about you stay in Luoyang and be your lord of Luoyang? Or if you like Xiangyang, I will take Xiangyang and make it a fief for you. How about that?" Seeing Qu Gao relent, Shi Min also let out a sigh of relief.
Qu Gao bowed deeply and said, "It all depends on the general's arrangement!"
