can be named a "famous general" by the history books, it must not be Hanhan.

Famous generals are particularly sensitive to military power, they kill decisively, they want to prohibit orders, they want to unify military power, and their subordinates will be like arm commands.

For Gao Xianzhi, Gu Qing is the deputy envoy of Jiedu, equivalent to his second-in-command.

The second-in-command assists the first-in-command, and there is no need to personally take charge of the army, since the first battle of Talas, the soldiers of the four towns have suffered serious losses, and Gu Qing's 10,000 soldiers and horses are the elite of Chang'an, and it is the right time to fill the four towns of Anxi.

When he first met and asked about the 10,000 soldiers and horses, Gao Xianzhi was not lacking in heart, but was really anxious to fill the gap, after all, in his eyes, these 10,000 soldiers and horses were not Gu Qing's private, but appointed by the imperial court.

Gu Qing's answer was very pleasant: "Jie Shuai, these 10,000 soldiers and horses are the elite of the left guard, Your Majesty specially asked the last general to bring them from Chang'an, if the Jie Shuai needs, all 10,000 soldiers and horses will be given to you, I don't want one." ”

Gao Xianzhi was stunned: "So happy? ”

Gu Qing suddenly smiled: "As for me, I have always been a happy person, not only happy, but also lazy." I don't want to do this kind of troublesome thing at all, what I like most is to find a place to lie comfortably, to eat, to drink, to gather handsome drums and drums on weekdays, I want to be present, and I want nothing else. ”

An inexplicable glint flashed in Gao Xianzhi's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Brother Gu Xian said this, I can roughly understand what you mean......

Gu Qing smiled again: "Jie Shuai, you wait first, I haven't finished talking yet...... What I just said is my personal thoughts, but after all, I am an official in the court, and a general outside, so I can't live my life according to my own ideas, which is too naïve, right? ”

"These 10,000 soldiers and horses, I really want to hand them over to you, but...... Since the marshal is commensurate with my brother, you and I meet for the first time today, I really can't bear to hurt the marshal......"

Gao Xianzhi was stunned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Gu Qing took out a copy of the Yellow Silk Holy Decree from his arms, handed it to Gao Xianzhi, and said with a smile: "You take a look at this first, if you still want these ten thousand soldiers and horses after reading it, I will offer it with both hands, and I will serve it happily, and I will never break my word." ”

Gao Xianzhi took the holy decree and unfolded it and looked at it, on it was the appointment decree of Gu Qing, and it was clearly written that he would lead 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zuowei out of the customs to go to the border of Anxi, but there was a sentence written on the back, "Soldiers and horses are handed over to Gu Qing to be controlled", which means that the military power of these 10,000 soldiers and horses belongs to Gu Qing alone from beginning to end.

Gao Xianzhi frowned, although he is a Korean, he is also very familiar with the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, and he should have a lot of political consciousness and sensitivity, from this sentence, Gao Xianzhi has a different meaning.

Then looking down, Gao Xianzhi's eyelids suddenly twitched.

“…… You can act cheaply and dispose of military aircraft by yourself. ”

This sentence on the holy decree was like a thunderbolt, blasting Gao Xianzhi to the outside and tender inside.

If the 10,000 military power given to Gu Qing is that the Son of Heaven trusts Gu Qing too much and can barely accept it, then this sentence "act cheaply and cut off the military plane" is not just as simple as favoring.

Gao Xianzhi's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

The Son of Heaven has become suspicious of me!

Gao Xianzhi immediately made this judgment.

This holy decree was not so much for Gu Qing as it was for Gao Xianzhi on purpose, this was a wake-up call and a foreshadowing.

In the Battle of Talas, the Tang army lost more than 20,000 yuan, and the Son of Heaven was obviously dissatisfied with him.

In just a moment, Gao Xianzhi thought a lot, and his face kept changing.

Handed the holy decree back to Gu Qing with both hands, Gao Xianzhi was silent.

Gu Qing said softly: "Jie Shuai, the four towns of Anxi are now short of soldiers and major generals, and it is difficult to deter the Western Regions, just now I said that I was lazy, not a kind word, it is better for me to hand over these 10,000 soldiers and horses to you for moderation, I will eat and drink every day to live my own small life, if you don't say it, I won't say it, no one in Chang'an knows......"

Gao Xianzhi smiled bitterly, no one in Chang'an knows?

At this moment, there is a eunuch from the palace who is supervising the army, do you think no one will know about Chang'an?

"Brother Xian, since it is the holy will, I will not force it, the 10,000 soldiers and horses will ask Brother Xian to work hard and control it personally...... Gao Xianzhi sighed and said: "But it is true that Anxi is short of soldiers and major generals now, if there is an enemy situation in Anxi, please also ask Brother Xian to lead the troops to help, Anxi ...... After all, it is the Anxi of Datang, and there is no room for error. ”

Gu Qing sighed reluctantly: "It's really hard to lead the troops in person, don't worry, if there is a war in Anxi, my soldiers and horses will be driven by the commander Jie, and the fighter will never be delayed." ”

Gao Xianzhi barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Gu Qing suddenly wanted to smoke himself, and if he was cheap and obedient this time, he really undersmoked when he said it.

Seeing Gao Xianzhi and Gu Qing talking back and forth for a few words, Gao Xianzhi's face suddenly changed, and Feng Changqing, who was accompanying him, had a worried face, and drank alone silently, one cup after another.

Prison Bian Lingcheng had a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed, he was also drinking, and while sipping, he kept looking at the changes in Gao Xianzhi and Gu Qing's expressions.

It was originally a wine banquet for Gu Qing to catch the wind, but at the end, there was a bit of unhappiness and dissipation.

This banquet devastated Gao Xianzhi, and at the same time, he also understood one thing.

The Son of Heaven was dissatisfied with him, and his dissatisfaction then turned into suspicion, Gu Qing's 10,000 soldiers and horses he Gao Xianzhi couldn't move, not only the soldiers couldn't move, but the extra war horses, weapons, grain and grass, etc., brought by Gu Qing, all of them couldn't move, those people and things had been surnamed Gu since the moment they left Chang'an, and it was okay to understand these 10,000 soldiers and horses as Gu Qing's private soldiers.

In the future, any transfer of troops and horses in Anxi must be discussed with this deputy envoy of Jiedu, but the mobilization of any soldiers and horses must not move Gu Qing's private soldiers, this is a red line, and it must not be touched, otherwise there will be a catastrophe.

I thought that the imperial court had replenished Anxi's generals, but I didn't expect that a group of uncles came, not only could not be mobilized, but also divided his military power, so that he could not move.

After the banquet was over, Gao Xianzhi sat alone in the hall, staring at the remnants of wine in front of the table in a cold daze, his eyes were dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

…………

After Gu Qing said goodbye, he left Qiuzi Town and went out of the city to return to the camp.

When Gu Qing went to the banquet, Chang Zhong had ordered to camp outside Qiuzi Town, the camp was in the shape of plum blossoms, and the camp opened to the west outside the city, and when Gu Qing returned to the camp, the soldiers were burying the pot and making rice.

The handsome tent was set up directly behind the camp, Han Jie commanded the guards to build it, and when he saw Gu Qing coming back, Han Jie hurriedly caught up.

"Master Hou, do you want to eat?"

Gu Qing shook his head, let the guards eat by themselves, and then entered the handsome tent alone, and Han Jie followed.

Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the futon and said, "Brother Han, pass the order, and the soldiers will start practicing after finishing their meals." ”

Han Jie was stunned: "Drill? This...... It's getting dark soon. ”

"You can practice when it's dark, give the order to go, let the soldiers practice with spirit and strength......"

Han Jie was puzzled: "Why is this?" ”

Gu Qing showed a mysterious smile on his face: "If nothing else, there should be a guest visiting after dark, make the momentum bigger and deter, otherwise I will really be in control." ”

Han Jie clenched his fists: "Yes, the last general understands." Go to the order immediately, the momentum must be huge, and the slightest courage will be scared to death. ”

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, you don't have to be too scary, take care of my feelings a little, after all, I don't have much courage......"

Han Jie was stunned for a moment, and then pulled the corners of his mouth, indicating that he had laughed: "Master Hou is getting more and more funny." ”

After a perfunctory compliment, Han Jie decisively turned around and went out of the account.

Gu Qing touched his chin and muttered, "This guy seems to be a little floating...... The Taklamakan Desert, not far from here, is said to have oil, should I send him to dig for oil? ”

After dark, the soldiers finished their meals and soon began to practice.

Outside the town of Qiuzi is the vast desert, inside and outside the camp are endless flat sand, the camp is quite loose, 10,000 soldiers in the open space in the camp neatly laid out is not too crowded, they hold halberds and spears, in the battalion commander's instructions under the move of the gesture of the gesture.

After less than half an hour of drilling, a guest came to the camp.

The guest was not Gao Xianzhi, but Bian Lingcheng, the superintendent.

Gu Qing was looking down in the tent to study a map of the Western Regions made of sheepskin, looking at the scattered distribution of countries and forces on the map, the more he looked at it, the more headache he felt, and he always felt that there was a halberd pointing at his nose at all times, and he would kill him at any time.

Hearing that the guards outside had reported that there were guests visiting outside the gate of the camp, Gu Qing hurriedly put away the map, and then immediately messed up the things on the table, and by the way, asked the guards to bring him a few plates of meat and a pot of wine, artificially creating a mess of cups and plates, and finally sprinkled a little wine on himself, and poured a few sips of wine, so that he could have a little wine smell all over his body.

Gu Qing took advantage of the situation to paralyze to the table, unbuttoned the front of his clothes, took off a foot coat and threw it on the ground, and the image of the mediocre and incompetent coach who did not want to make progress suddenly plumped up. After doing this, let the guards lead Bian Lingcheng into the camp gate.

Bian Lingcheng waited outside the gate for a long time, but he was not in a hurry at all, and he still had a smiling expression on his face.

A personal guard was ordered to lead Bian Lingcheng into the gate, and after Bian Lingcheng entered the camp, he had nothing to talk to with the guards while walking, but who knew that the personal guard didn't say a word coldly, just led him forward silently.

After Bian Lingcheng said a few words, he felt bored and stopped talking.

After walking a little into the camp, Bian Lingcheng suddenly felt a little chill on the back of his neck, obviously it was dark all around, but he always felt that there were many pairs of eyes staring at him, like breaking into a wolf's den alone in the middle of the night and being targeted by a group of hungry wolves.

Bian Lingcheng couldn't help but shrink his neck, and was wondering if it was an illusion, when in a pitch-black open space not far from him, a loud shout suddenly came out: "Kill!" ”

Immediately, it was like a thunderclap exploding, and countless voices shouted at the same time: "Kill——! ”

With a bang, the yellow dust flew, the birds frightened, and the vast desert suddenly gave birth to a murderous atmosphere, and its sound shocked the heavens and the earth, and its potential mountains collapsed and cracked.

Bian Lingcheng was so frightened that he trembled, and his knees couldn't help but soften, like a stupid roe deer stunned by a hunter's roar, he fell to the ground motionless, and his two little short legs twitched from time to time.
