2. Competing for Sanquanyuan

After Gao Yue knew that the Dingwu Army's shooting soldiers had taken Qiu Chishan, he was eager to consolidate the results.

For nothing else, it is because Qiuchi Mountain is located at the intersection of Qin, Long, Hanzhong, and Bashu. It is located in the upper reaches of the Jialing River, just in Chengzhou in Longyou. As long as you obtain this place, it can echo the Hechi City of Dingwu Army. You can go out to Qishan Road to attack Qinzhou in the north, and you can go to Didao to erode Weizhou Longxi. There is also the Tantu River to the southwest, which can invade Songzhou grassland, the most relied on Xifan South Road.

But in the battle of Taideng City, Gao Yue had mobilized Dingwu and Yining all the generals, artifacts, fifth battalions, and all the cavalry, artillery and vehicles.

Therefore, he consolidated Qiuchishan, and he hoped to get Wei Gao's help.

Wei Gao said nothing, "Lun Mangre from Wuyou City, Victoria, was scared by my void soldiers and dared not come out, so he immediately handed over the 10,000 soldiers from the west mountain to Wang Youdao and Cao Liangjin commanded, and lent to Yisong for three months. Once Qiu Chishan is secure, he will have to return it to me."

Of course there is no problem. Anyway, borrowing troops from Xichuan is just to intimidate and expel Xifan forces from Qiuchishan, and to allow Dingwu, who had fought hard, Yining's soldiers to rest and replenish.

After they were willing, Gao Yue climbed the city from the Taiwan Strait and started to return to Xingyuan Mansion with Zheng Zhi.

In early August, the imperial envoys arrived in the Sanquanyuan, Lizhou, brought the emperor's consolation, which was to urge Gao Yue to return to the north as soon as possible to control the military and horses of the imperial camp and completely wipe out the Dangxiang. Because Gao Yue was already the governor of the two prefectures and was appointed as the censor, the emperor rewarded him with countless gold and silver clothes and had a grant of 500 households. As for Zheng Yu, he was also expelled from the emperor as the Minister of Rites for his great contribution to the rebellion of Yi Mouxun in Yunnan. The emperor also asked: Zheng Yu would come to the spring examination in the capital next year to be the tribute election to replace Gao Ying.

At first, both of them were happy, so they set up a banquet in Sanquanyuan to celebrate each other.

But before the drinks lasted for three rounds, Gao Yue and Zheng Zhi broke out in a fierce quarrel.

The reason is that Gao Yue has never forgotten his three-year agreement with Li Jifu, and is confident that he will send him to Xingyuan Prefecture. Fengxiangtao Fen Academy students rushed to the capital to take the exam, and hoped that the emperor could personally go to the Daming Palace to set up a senate system in the palace. Those with excellent grades can be directly appointed as county magistrates, especially in the northwest and southwest areas, which are particularly short of county magistrates.

If this is the case, not only will Gao Yue's "Taofen Talent Plan" be completed and gained fame, but it can also solve the situation of shortage of county magistrates in the Tang government.

Of course, Gao Yue's selfishness is also included: After all, Li Jifu and I bet that I was a humble person in my senior year of high school, and only had a little principle, that is, I could not lose.

Zheng Wenming, you and I have such a good personal relationship. You are the Minister of Rites and the Chief Secretary of the Spring Examination next year. We join forces, and this is not a matter of one sentence.

But in fact, Gao Yue could think about it calmly before, instead of being overwhelmed by the momentary passion at the banquet, he should have understood that Zheng Zhi was definitely at the stone level in the toilet.

So after opening the talk, the situation immediately became uncontrollable.

"As Fang Yue of the imperial court, you regard the Jinshi exam in the spring exam as something!" Zheng Zhi was furious.

Gao Yue was a little embarrassed. You should know that the banquet was full of Xingyuan, Fengxiang's generals, officials, and the emperor's envoys who issued the imperial edict. I don't want to be faced anymore. So I also got angry: "I have never said that you want Zheng Wenming to be loyal to you, but I just praise the talented and learned scholars, so that you can pay attention to it."

"This is already a favoritism, you are Fang Yue of the imperial court..."

"How about Fang Yue? How about Fang Yue? Can't Fang Yue be praised for his wise men?" Gao Yue also became irritable and suddenly raised his voice.

Everyone in the meal bowed their heads and said nothing.

"How many people do you want to praise, you said?"

"It's only thirty or forty..."

"The imperial court has won less than twenty scholars in the spring exams, and most of them are only thirty. You can ask for thirty or forty as soon as you open your mouth. Are you treating the tribute court of the Ministry of Rites as a mule and a horse?"

"There is too few people to take over. Let me tell the Holy Lord that this is not what you are worried about..."

Before Gao Yue finished speaking, Zheng Zi pushed the wine utensils and stood up, "Okay, I just became the Minister of Rites. You were worried about the spring examination. You were not upright. It started from when you first built a shed to snatch the 13th year of Dali. It has never changed."

"You just quarrel with me and I have the ability!" Gao Yue was also angry and stood up and pointed at Zheng Zhi, "Remember for me, don't think that the Spring Examination is so easy to know. If I were not behind you, don't say whether I could continue to know the Spring Examination in the next year, I am afraid that this time I will be ruined. You can't control me a little?"

"It's a pity that I want to be perfect." Zheng Zhi felt that the two of them were not optimistic again, so he bowed coldly, and then left the pavilion in Sanquanyuan without looking back.

"A perfect person, a dog's feet..." Gao Yue opened his teeth and claws, and was so angry that the soldiers around Gao Gu, Cai Fengyuan, Guo Zaizhen, Cui Shu, Cui Ping saw that Qi Hou was so angry that he was going crazy, so he rushed over and stopped him, and kept persuading him, Jieshuai, and Jieshuai, forgot it.

Gao Yue was so angry that he ordered the entire army to set up a camp in Sanquanyuan. He carried a crossbow and hunted on the surrounding mountains for three days, intending to stagger the itinerary with Zheng Zhi. "I don't want to see Zheng Wenming, a bastard on the post road, and let him get out, the farther he gets better."

Later, Guo Zaizhen found him, "Mr. Qi, don't miss the life of Xingyuan to live the middle of the autumn."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so Gao Yue led his army to continue his journey to Xingyuan without losing his anger.

On the way, Gao Yue wanted to send a secret letter to stop the court from appointing Zheng Zi, but calmed down and felt that doing so was inappropriate, so he could only bury this matter in his heart.

Outside the door screen of Lujiaozhuang, Zhihui held a warm candlelight, and the roundering moon hung on the willow branches outside the courtyard, happily speaking, "Brother Three, are you back?"

Wei Tuotian led his mount into the stable. Gao Yue answered and asked her, "Where is the mistress?"

"Since the mistress was born, she would be tired after nightfall. Now she has gone to bed to rest. Acuo took Jing'er and Da'er to rest. The little aunt moved to Beifang, Xingyuan Prefecture, in another village, and the little aunt lived there sometimes."

Soon, Gao Yue sat cross-legged in the curtain of the main hall, holding his daughter Weiru.

This little girl was playing with her father just now, but in a blink of an eye, her long eyelashes flashed, she looked at her father and smiled sweetly, and then fell asleep immediately, breathing and blowing on Gao Yue's arms, which was very hot and even.

Zhihui walked over, took her sleeping daughter and picked her up, and then whispered, "Three Brothers, you go to the main hall. After returning to the yamen, he rode his horse here. I'm afraid he's tired, so go and rest with his mistress!"
