Early on the 6th day of the fifth month, Guo Wei held a military meeting to discuss the route of the army's expedition. Everyone proposed to seize Jingzhao Prefecture and Fengxiang Prefecture first to quell the rebellion of Zhao Siwan and Wang Jingchong. Especially the Fengxiang Prefecture occupied by Wang Jingchong, its western gate has been occupied by the imperial court. As long as more troops are invested, Wang Jingchong's troops will definitely be eliminated!

At this time, Hu Congke, the governor of Zhenguo Army, said loudly: "Sir Guo, lords, now the three vassal states colluded to rebel, and jointly recommended Li Shouzhen as the main force and usurped the King of Qin. If Li Shouzhen was destroyed, then the king and Zhao towns would naturally lose their confidence in confronting the court. The army that had finally gathered together would collapse. We can easily quell their rebellion. As the saying goes, shoot a man and shoot a horse first, capture the king first!

However, if we give up attacking Li Shouzhen, who is close to him, and seek cheapness to attack the distant Jingzhao Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion, it will be a bit of a risk. If Wang Jingchong and Zhao Siwan defend the city to the death and never surrender, and Li Shouzhen suddenly launches an attack, constantly attacking our retreat and cutting off our food and supplies, then our army will be in trouble and besieged by the three major rebels, and the situation will be gone!”

Hu Congke said something, but Wang Jingchong was already in trouble. As long as he had more troops, he could suppress him, and this opportunity was very rare. After destroying Wang Jingchong, Zhao Siwan only occupied one place in Jingzhao Prefecture, which was easier to eliminate than Hezhong Prefecture, which was tall and deep in the city. Should he eliminate Li Shouzhen first or Wang Jingchong first? Guo Wei was hesitant.

At this time, I heard the sound of horse hooves outside the tent. Then a messenger ran in, bowed to Guo Wei, and came to Bai Wenke and Wang Jun's desk and handed a letter.

Bai Wenke opened the letter and hurriedly looked at it, saying loudly: "Last night, Li Shouzhen sent more than a thousand elite troops to raid our Xiguan City. Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives to defeat most of the enemy's raid troops! Guo Shuai, I also agree with the suggestion of Gu Congke to eliminate Li Shouzhen first, otherwise, after our army advanced westward, Li Shouzhen would not know how rampant it would be?!"

Guo Wei quickly took the letter and looked carefully. He immediately made up his mind: "As General Hu said, the army will first pacify Li Shouzhen! I ordered General Bai Wenke to lead his troops to attack from Tongzhou, Chang Si attacked from Tongguan, and our troops set out from Shanzhou. The three armies jointly attacked Hezhong Prefecture and eliminated Li Shouzhen!"

Soon, Li Shouzhen received news that Guo Wei led the army and did not advance westward, but rushed towards his Hezhong Mansion with two troops. He couldn't help but be furious and taught Zhou Guangxun a lesson, Wang Jixun, who was attacking without permission, and even wanted to imprison Wang Jixun. The generals pleaded for him one after another, and Li Shouzhen gave up.

On the tenth day of the fifth month, the three armies met at the city of Hezhongfu. Li Shouzhen stood at the top of the city and saw the imperial guard flags flying everywhere under the city, and the sound of war drums were in high spirits. The soldiers of the imperial guards were in a state of excitement and jumped on their horses. Li Shouzhen was shocked.

Li Shouzhen was once the commander of the guards and commander, saying that he was somewhat incest towards the soldiers of the imperial guards. Standing on the city tower, he looked around hard and finally found several familiar faces.

Li Shouzhen hurriedly shouted: "Hou Family Dalang, Li Family Sanlang, have you ever remembered your old capital's husband?"

Although the "Hu Family Dalang" and "Li Family Sanlang" under the city were all Li Shouzhen's old subordinates, they were both exerted by Guo Weiwei and conquered in one fell swoop. At that moment, they looked at Li Shouzhen on the top of the city, not only did not come forward to talk, but instead shouted "rebel"!

Li Shouzhen was very embarrassed. In the past, he always declared to his generals: the generals and officers of the Imperial Army were all their old subordinates and had received their favors. As long as he climbed up the high ground, the old subordinates who had been fed up with strict military tactics would change their course. But now the reaction of the people under the city was undoubtedly slapping Li Shouzhen in the face. Without any hesitation, Li Shouzhen could only order the troops to defend the city to the death and beware of the sneak attacks of Guo Wei's troops.

At this time, Liu Ci led Yan Jinqing, Dong Zunhui, Li Tao and other generals to come forward to visit Guo Wei and apologize to him: it was all because of his negligence and indulgence, which led to many drunken subordinates. Although they defeated the enemy's attacking troops a few days ago, the Han army also suffered heavy casualties.

Guo Wei hurried forward and helped him up and said earnestly: "There is no need for the veteran general. We are very proud when we heard that the veteran generals were in battle and fighting the enemy generals to the death! Now you have defeated the enemy's elite troops, which makes them terrified from now on. The credit goes far beyond the mistake! The enemy is just a trick, as long as our army is prepared, it is not worth worrying!"

Guo Wei helped Yan Jinqing, Dong Zunhui, Li Tao and others behind Liu Ci, and said to everyone: "Everyone defeated Li Shouzhen's elite troops a few days ago and made great contributions. I have written a memorial to the court. The rewards of Old General Liu and Lord Yan will be decided by the court. There will be rewards in a few days. Now I order: Li Tao, the deputy general, will be promoted to military academy, and Dong Zunhui, the captain of Yi, will be promoted to deputy captain Zhiguo! The rest of the people will be rewarded!"

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, and Dong Zunhui also bowed happily to thank him. Deputy Captain Zhiguo was at the seventh rank, while the Yi commander only got promoted from the seventh rank. Although he was only promoted one level, the gap between the Yi commander Yi commander and Deputy Captain Zhiguo was leapt past by him.

Although the Yizhi School Captain sounds nice, his life and appreciation are completely controlled by the head coach's personal preferences. If he commits a serious crime, the head coach can be killed at will, and there is no need to wait for the imperial decree. As a seventh-rank official recognized by the court, Deputy Zhiguo not only has the power to submit the court, but even if he commits a serious crime, the head coach cannot be killed at will, but can only be detained and wait for the court's clear order. He is promoted to Deputy Zhiguo, and his life is a little more guaranteed.

Guo Wei greeted the generals one by one, and then he entered the tent. Everyone sat on both sides of the tent, waiting for Guo Wei's orders.

Seeing that there were all generals around the army, at least at the battalion commander level, Guo Wei frowned and said, "This time, thanks to General Liu's leadership, Dong Zunhui, Li Tao and other generals who were desperate to repel the enemy's troops. But if there is another time, it will be impossible to be so lucky! I order: From today on, officers and soldiers will not be allowed to drink unless they attend a formal reward banquet, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Everyone bowed their heads and obeyed the orders, and Li Tao, Dong Zunhui and others quickly bowed their heads and obeyed the orders. After the meeting was released, Li Tao whispered to Dong Zunhui: "Daoan, I heard that you know Lord Guo, can you give some discounts on his orders? If you can't drink, it will cost me half of my life!"

Dong Zunhui said seriously: "It is better to take half of your life than to take your whole life! Although Mr. Guo is very caring to everyone, he enforces the law strictly and never abuses the law! Since he said that the drinker was killed by the drinker privately, he will definitely deal with it as such. Don't be stupid!"

Li Tao nodded helplessly and returned to the camp in disgrace. A few days later, Li Shen, whose drinking capacity increased sharply, finally couldn't help but drink a small bowl of wine in the morning. As a result, he happened to gather to discuss matters that day. After Guo Wei found out, he was immediately sent to prison. After asking the court, Guo Wei beheaded Li Shen regardless of the pleading of the generals! So the whole army was so shocked that he ordered it to do the right thing!
