If it were someone else, they might have scruples considering Dou Gu's status.
But he is a descendant of the Gu Clan.
The merits of his ancestors and his current standing in court are incomparable to Dou Gu.
What does he have to be wary of?
Bowing to Dou Gu, Gu Cheng promptly walked out directly.
The already prepared army of more than five thousand soldiers marched straight out of Yiwulu City that very day.
Dou Gu was not enraged by this action.
He merely composed a letter and had it sent to Luoyang with urgent haste.
Then, as usual, he continued drilling the soldiers and cultivating the fields.
....
Gu Cheng's target this time was Cheshi.
The Western Regions are vast.
The Northern Xiongnu's control over the Western Regions, apart from the usual martial force, involves supporting pro-Xiongnu factions and controlling the transportation routes.
Thus controlling the entire economy of the Western Regions.
And Cheshi today is exactly such a case.
