After New Year's Day, history entered the decade of Tianbao.

While Gu Qing was living an idle life in Shiqiao Village, the flames of the Nanzhao rebellion had spread rapidly.

After capturing Xiaoyizhou at the end of last year, Nanzhao continued to advance, and Tianbao captured Yaozhou in the first month of the tenth year. At this time, the Southern Zhao Kingdom won successive battles, and the court of the Tang Dynasty had no time to react, and Xian Yu Zhongtong hurriedly transferred soldiers and horses from all over Jiannan Province.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao once again waved his army, and the troops pointed directly at Yunnan County.

At the end of the first month of the tenth year of Tianbao, Nanzhao captured Yunnan County, and Zhang Qiantuo, the assassin of the history, was killed by Luo Feng, the lord of Nanzhao, and avenged the humiliation of his wife and the great revenge of bullying Nanzhao for many years.

At the same time, Xian Yu Zhongtong's submission to Chang'an was finally approved, and Li Longji ordered Gao Xianzhi, the deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, to urgently go to Jiannan Province to command the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Province and quell the rebellion of Nanzhao State.

And before Gao Xianzhi rushed to Jiannan Dao, Xian Yu Zhongtong, who adopted Gu Qing's suggestion, was not idle, he used his best to gather soldiers and horses from all over Jiannan Dao in Yizhou, and prepared a lot of grain and grass, and at the same time rushed to Shuzhou in person, and asked Yang Guifei, who was still in Shuzhou Province, to return to Chang'an, so as not to be shocked by the war.

Not only that, Xian Yu Zhongtong also sent a lot of scouts, and recorded all the terrain and topography of the front line of the war with Nanzhao State, and returned to Yizhou to the curtain guests, who gathered the information of the scouts and made the terrain of the front line into a very realistic sand table.

At the beginning of February, when Gao Xianzhi, a famous general, rushed to the Yizhou Jiedu Embassy, he took over a complete formed army, as well as a delicately made and realistic sand table, as well as sufficient logistics of grain and grass.

The three armies are ready to go, just waiting for the general's order.

Gao Xianzhi was deeply shocked, he didn't expect to take over the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao in such a situation. The three armies are all ready, there is enough food and grass, and there is that magical sand table.

The first URL

In particular, the sand table, whether it is a mountain, jungle or a plain pass, is made as if it were real, and small flags are inserted on each key pass and inconspicuous path, and the garrison camps of the enemy and us and the marching track that changes at any time according to the scout army report can be seen at a glance on the sand table with only a few small flags.

Gao Xianzhi was in his forties, with a messy beard hidden under his winged helmet, looking at the sand table in front of him with a shocked expression, and then at Xian Yu Zhongtong, who looked haggard and didn't even have the strength to speak.

Gao Xianzhi arched his hand and said, "Jie Shuai, this thing ......"

Xian Yu Zhongtong was so busy that he hadn't slept for a few days, and waved his hand weakly when he heard the words: "This thing is called a sand table, it was made by a young friend of mine, without specific explanations, General Gao will definitely be able to see it at a glance, this official ...... Take a short rest first, wake up and then discuss the counterinsurgency deployment with General Gao, offended. ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded in understanding, and Xian Yu Zhongtong fell asleep.

Gao Xianzhi turned his head to look at the curtain bin who was Xian Yu Zhongtong, and the curtain guest smiled: "This thing is magical, it was created by a peasant boy, and it took some time to learn from him before it can be started, and it is a little vulgar, General Gao forgive me." ”

Gao Xianzhi took a closer look at it and praised: "It's a good object, the terrain and mountain paths and plains are all garrisoned, and any movement of the enemy army is reflected on the sand table, and their intentions can be seen at a glance." If you had this item in previous battles, your win rate could be increased by 30%. ”

Immediately, Gao Xianzhi said again: "That young man can be in the army?" I want to meet him. ”

Makubin smiled bitterly: "That young man has a strange temper, and he has been politely rejected several times when he is married, and he is still burning porcelain in the mountain village......"

Gao Xianzhi smiled: "If he really has a strange temper, the man is just winning fame on the battlefield to live in vain, obviously he has such a ability, after this battle, he can remember his great achievements just by the sand table, why don't you want to join the army?" ”

The curtain guest sighed: "Strange people have strange abilities, and naturally they also have a strange temper, which cannot be handled by common sense." ”

Gao Xianzhi shook his head: "In the future, we will be able to meet each other, but the efficiency of the section marshal's allocation of soldiers, horses, grain and grass is quite shocking, with the ability of the section commander to strategize, plus this sand table, even if His Majesty does not send me to Jiannan, I must be able to easily quell the rebellion of Nanzhao with the ability of the section marshal, to be honest, I feel that I have come a little redundant." ”

Mu Bin smiled bitterly: "General Gao is polite, let's be honest, the marshal is so well prepared, it is also because he listened to the advice of the young man, the marshal is a literati, and leading the army to fight is not a strong point, the young man said, 'Professional things are left to professional people to do, laymen don't lead insiders, otherwise things will fail.'" ’”

Gao Xianzhi became more and more surprised, pointed to the sand table, and then pointed to the curtain guest, and said, "With such ability, and being able to say such far-sighted and wise words, are you sure he is really a teenager?" ”

Mu Bin sighed: "He is really a young man, his name is Gu Qing, seventeen years old...... Oh, it's been ten years for Tianbao, and I'm eighteen years old this year. ”

Gao Xianzhi sighed: "It can be described as a talent, after the rebellion is quelled, I will definitely meet this young man." ”

With a certain expression, Gao Xianzhi said awe-inspiringly: "The three armaments, after Xian Yu Jieshuai wakes up, he will immediately beat the drums and gather the generals, and the three armies of Jiannan Dao will obey the command of the Bendu Protector, and the order will be cut off!" ”

Xian Yu Zhongtong, who was sleeping on the side, didn't know what sad things he dreamed of, and sighed sadly with a sad expression.

"Old man, don't be dismissed...... "Xian Yu Zhongtong muttered in a dream.

Gao Xianzhi and Makubin looked at each other in amazement.

The curtain guest wiped a cold sweat and explained with a smile: "After the rebellion of Nanzhao, the festival commander couldn't sleep at night because of the tasteless food, and he felt that the responsibility was as heavy as Mount Tai, in order to repay the kindness of the Son of Heaven and the country, the festival commander was too worried, and he was too worried......

Gao Xianzhi twitched his cheek and nodded calmly.

The turmoil is peaceful, and the uneasy Xian Yu Zhongtong is talking in his dream again: "Your Majesty, the old man has raised food for Jiannan Road, and the old man has made way for Gao Xianzhi, after quelling the rebellion, please raise your noble hand, quickly adjust Gao Xianzhi back to the Western Regions, and don't occupy the old man's position......"

Gao Xianzhi and Makubin's cheeks twitched together.

The curtain guest looked up to the sky and sighed, forget it, I can't explain it clearly, what is the love.

Gao Xianzhi pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice to the curtain guests: "After the festival commander wakes up, please tell the festival marshal that after the rebellion is suppressed, the city will return to the Western Regions non-stop." ”

The curtain guest smiled miserably and nodded.

Gao Xianzhi hesitated for a moment, and then added: "Please also tell the festival marshal that there are outsiders present...... It's best not to sleep too deeply. ”

…………

In mid-February, Gao Xianzhi led 30,000 soldiers and horses of the South Sword Road to fight with the rebels of the Southern Zhao Kingdom in Longcheng County.

At the end of February, the scouts found out that there were signs of the movement of a small number of troops and horses in the Nanzhao Kingdom, and Gao Xianzhi judged that the Nanzhao State intended to collude with the Tibetans and form a coalition against the Tang Dynasty after the sand table deduction.

Gao Xianzhi then set up an ambush in the suburb of Xiang County, Longcheng County, and the Nanzhao rebel army passed through Xiang County, and the Tang army launched a surprise attack in the ambush circle, surrounded and cut off the rebel army, and then encircled and annihilated it. At the same time, Gao Xianzhi allocated 10,000 troops and horses to attack Yaozhou, Yaozhou was at the junction of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, five days later, the Tang army recovered Yaozhou, cutting off the passage between Tubo and Nanzhao, and the plan of the Nanzhao anti-army and Tubo colluded completely failed.

At the beginning of March, 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang army marched to Panzhou, the wingmen and barbarians occupied by the Southern Zhao State. In mid-March, the Tang Dynasty occupied by the rebellion of the Nanzhao Kingdom was basically recovered, and the Nanzhao Kingdom won consecutive battles from the beginning of the rebellion.

At the end of March, Gao Xianzhi led 20,000 Tang troops to a decisive battle with the rebels of Nanzhao State outside the city of Lizhou, scouting the terrain before the battle, and made a delicate sand table, Gao Xianzhi studied the sand table, sent a partial division to bypass Lizhou, marched quickly from an unknown mountain stream path, and went around to the rear of the rebels of Nanzhao State.

On the twenty-seventh day of March of the tenth year of Tianbao, Luo Feng, the lord of the Nanzhao Kingdom, was defeated and killed in the camp, and so far, the Nanzhao rebellion was quelled by Gao Xianzhi and Xian Yu Zhongtong.

On March 28, the good news departed from Lizhou and flew to Chang'an.

Among them, Gu Qing's name ranked first on the list of counterinsurgency soldiers.

…………

Stone Bridge Village.

The drunken Li Bai woke up from sleep and suddenly said goodbye to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing was shocked, and then extremely lost.

"Brother Taibai, is it a foolish brother who doesn't greet him well?" Gu Qing's heart was filled with reluctance.

Li Bai smiled freely: "No, it is the luck of Taibai's life to be able to know the virtuous brother, the days in Shiqiao Village have wine, meat and confidants, Taibai has a rare comfortable and leisurely time in this life, the virtuous brother is not taking care of me too well, but taking care of me too thoughtfully." ”

Gu Qing sighed: "Brother Taibai feels comfortable and leisurely, why don't you stay?" ”

Li Bai shook his head and sighed: "The mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty are so magnificent, how can Taibai be in a safe corner?" I am fifty years old, I don't know how many years there are left in this life, so many beautiful scenery have never been seen, so many confidants and heroes have not befriended, and the rest of my life is few, how can I waste? ”

Gu Qing was speechless.

Li Bai is different, he is a real prodigal son who will never stop. It is precisely because of his unwilling temperament that he can write so many beautiful poems that are chic and romantic and uninhibited.

If he is willing to live in Shiqiao Village forever, then Li Bai will no longer be Li Bai, just a drunkard who indulges in wine all day long.

Gu Qing couldn't say the words to stay, Li Bai on the road could radiate the meaning of his life, how could Gu Qing strangle it?

After sighing gloomily, Gu Qing smiled and said goodbye to Li Bai.

Before leaving, Gu Qing took out a few pieces of silver cakes, about forty taels, poured Li Bai several skins of high wine, and carefully prepared a few sets of clean new clothes for Li Bai.

Li Bai looked at all this that Gu Qing did for him, his eyes turned red, the two said goodbye at the entrance of the village, Li Bai said: "The virtuous brother treats Taibai's heart, Taibai will always be remembered inside, the rivers and lakes are far away, the wind and rain are shaking, Taibai will never forget each other in this life, you and I can meet in Chang'an next year." ”

"How did Brother Taibai know that I would go to Chang'an?"

Li Bai smiled: "With the talent of a virtuous brother, if you only live in a corner of this life, wouldn't it be a waste?" You will definitely go to Chang'an, at that time, Taibai can take the virtuous brother to appreciate the customs of Chang'an, get acquainted with old friends in life, and get drunk with confidants. ”

After speaking, Li Bai turned around in a dashing manner, laughed and left.

The green mountains are verdant, the birds are singing in the stream, and Li Bai's wild and uninhibited chant echoes in the mountains.

"You don't see Wuzhong Zhang Han called Dasheng, and the autumn wind suddenly remembers the eastward journey of the river. And a glass of wine before his death, why should he be famous for thousands of years after his death? ”
