The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 96.1

Chapter 96.1

Recently, Gongsun Yang has been muttering in his heart: he still cannot guess the rulers mind even though he had stayed at his side for many years.

Initially, they planned to go to Jinyang at the beginning of the spring. Suddenly he said he wanted to leave just after the Lantern Festival.

Gongsun Yang naturally had no objection.

As soon as the Marquis gave the word, the subordinates immediately ran out of legs and ordered the army. Those who went with the Marquis waved goodbye to their wives and children, waiting for their departure.

Everything was ready, but after he returned from Wuzhong City, he suddenly stopped talking about going to Jinyang.

Instead, he came to the government office after dawn every day, not leaving unless it was dark.

It was just the beginning of the year, so there was not much to do.

There was a customary tradition of not deploying troops at the beginning of the year since ancient times, so after the first day of the year, there were not many important things in the government office, which required the ruler to be tied up personally behind the paperwork.

Gongsun Yang did not understand.

Because the subordinates were waiting for the rulers decision, Gongsun Yang asked him.Visit for the best novel reading experience

At that time, the ruler said that it was to appreciate the soldiers and was rare to enjoy the New Year holiday, so he temporarily changed his mind and let everyone have some more leisure time. All the subordinates gave cheer and gratitude.

Last year when Chen Xiang lost Bingzhou, Wei Shao tried to placate Diao Mo. But Diao Mo did not respond, only retreating to the Qiang Land.

Wei Shao was in a hurry to go back to Youzhou, and when he saw that the border was peaceful, he put things aside for a while and rushed back.

The year had just started, and the Qiang people attacked Shang County again. Furthermore, it also involved Feng Zhao, the ruler of Liangzhou.

What is your decision, my lord? Gongsun Yang asked.

To stabilize Western Liang, recruit the Qiang tribe, and eliminate any future problems for his journey to conquer the south, was the military purpose of Wei Shao to go to Jinyang at the beginning of the year. Gongsun Yang was naturally clear of these.

Wei Shao frowned and said, Ill leave tomorrow morning! The army will leave at a normal pace three days later.

Wei Shao came back from the government office just before noon.

He usually rarely returned home at this hour. Therefore, the servants in the West House were surprised and served dinner for the Marquis.

But Xiao Qiao had not returned yet.

Wei Shao was somewhat distracted and did not even eat. He rode his horse out of the city and went to the Taishe Temple.
