Chapter 374: Surrender to the soft truce
Thousands of troops lined up, thousands of horses neighed, and the rumbling drums of the attack seemed to beat on the hearts of the people, and each drum beat was like a prelude to the harvest of human life.
The two armies that both belonged to the Tang Dynasty were going to meet each other on the battlefield today, Ge Shuhan didn't know what Gu Qing thought, he only knew that when the general of the Anxi Army gave the order to prepare to release arrows, the pressure he was under was extremely huge, and he had never been under such tremendous pressure when he led the army to attack Shibao City.
The white command flag of the Anxi army was raised high, thousands of archers were already wound with arrows, the bow was full of the moon, once the command flag was waved down, thousands of arrows shot out, then the two armies were officially at war.
As a result of this battle, Gu Qing may be severely punished, and it is even possible to be dismissed from office and imprisoned, but Ge Shuhan is not better, in the final analysis, he is at fault first, and while the Son of Heaven severely punishes Gu Qing, it is impossible to spare him lightly.
The two armies faced each other, and the first priority was morale.
The soldiers of the Hexi Army panicked, most of them didn't even know why they were fighting with the Anxi Army, why the army belonging to the same Tang Dynasty would be infighting, and they were carried by the generals to the Yumen Pass to set up a formation, and they were in a daze to wait for the enemy, and finally watched the Anxi Army make a decisive posture.
So, what exactly are we doing? What are we fighting for?
But the officers and men of the Anxi Army knew very well what they were doing.
They knew that their war horses had been robbed, and if someone dared to rob the things of the Anxi army, the king of heaven would also fight with him. And Gu Qing, the coach, did not disappoint the soldiers, even if the opponent was Ge Shuhan, who had great achievements, he still pulled out the team and put on a formation, and even ordered to take the initiative to attack.
With a halberd in my hand, a bow and arrows, blood in my heart, and my invincible momentum, why should I be bullied?
The drums of the attack became faster and faster, and Ge Shuhan's heart beat faster and faster with the rhythm of the drums.

As a veteran of the battlefield, Ge Shuhan knew that once the drums stopped and the flag was waved, the matter of today's conflict between the two armies could no longer be turned around? His career will be hit hard.
Gu Qing is a madman, but his brother Shuhan is not.
Li Wenyi became more and more panicked, and the consequences of today's clash between the two armies were also unbearable for him.
"Jie Shuai? Quickly order a truce? Otherwise, woe will be to you and me! Li Wenyi said anxiously.
Brother Shuhan's teeth are about to be crushed? In half his life, he has never been so embarrassed as he is today.
"Crazy! Lunatic! This bastard doesn't want to live, does he still want to pull Ben Shuai on his back together? Lunatic! Ge Shuhan looked up to the sky and roared.
Just when the drums are about to stop? A fast horse galloped out of the array of the Hexi Army? Holding high the flag with red letters on a black background, it was a handsome flag representing Ge Shuhan himself.
"Anxi Army, stop! Ge Shu Jie is handsome and wants to talk to Gu Houye, stop it! The knight on his horse shouted as he approached the array of the Anxi Army.
The forward generals of the Anxi Army are still holding high the order flag? Turning a deaf ear to the words of the knight on horseback? In front of the two armies? Generals only obey the orders of their own commanders.
Soon? A personal guard galloped from the Anxi Army? A few words with the generals who held high the command flag? The general answered the order and immediately shouted: "Bow and arrow, retreat!" ”
With a bang, thousands of archers loosened their tight strings and took three steps back in unison.
The knights of the Hexi Army on the opposite side were pale? But greatly relieved? Obviously just riding a horse for a short distance? But his body collapsed and almost fell off his horse.
At this time, the knight was only a dozen feet away from the forward of the Anxi army? The general who held the command flag high just now glared at the Hexi Army knight and said coldly: "Feng's Anxi Festival envoy Gu Hou Ye will ask questions, is Geshu Jie Shuai willing to return the war horse?" ”
Knights stunned? He turned his head and looked back for help.
Then the knight gritted his teeth and said, "Ge Shu Jie Shuai wants to meet with Gu Hou Ye, please bring this to Gu Hou Ye." ”
The forward general of the Anxi Army was silent for a moment, nodded, and passed the word to Gu Qing of the Chinese army.
After a long time, dozens of Gu Qing's personal guards rode their horses and silently set up a simple pergola in the center of the array between the two armies, the pergola had a roof, and a low table and futon were spread inside, and there was even a jar of wine and two wine cups on the low table.
On the opposite side of the Hexi Jiedu made Ge Shuhan see the pergola from a distance and immediately knew what it meant, so he rode out of the array alone and galloped towards the pergola alone.
After Ge Shuhan dismounted and sat down cross-legged on the futon in the pergola, Gu Qing also rode out of the array and slowly walked to the pergola to dismount.
The two armies are still facing off, and the two sides are tense.
The commanders of the two armies are sitting opposite each other in the pergola in the center of the battlefield at this moment, the scene was very strange for a while, but it exudes a cruel poetry, and the blood-red romance that belongs to men alone.
In the air of Xiao Killing, two wine cups were filled with wine, and Gu Qing handed them to Ge Shuhan with both hands with a smile.
As soon as Ge Shuhan stretched out his hand, his movements suddenly paused, and then he stretched out his hands to take it.
"Brother Shu is handsome, God has been friends for a long time, you and I should be white, drink and win." After Gu Qing finished with a smile, he drank the wine cup in his hand.
Ge Shuhan was still angry in his heart, but he still drank it all, slammed the wine cup on the table, and then snorted angrily.
Today's Ge Shuhan can be said to have been forced by Gu Qing to lose his majesty, and before the two armies were about to break out, he let his generals shout a truce, which was actually a disguised submission to show weakness, and the soldiers of the Hexi Army saw it with their own eyes, and they didn't know how much time it would take to restore the former commander's coercion.
"Gu Qing, you and I are the first acquaintance today, you can let me see it for a long time," Ge Shuhan glared at him, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and said coldly: "This commander knows countless ministers and good generals, but you are the most lawless, do you know what will happen to your actions today?" ”
Gu Qing poured wine for Ge Shuhan with a smile, and said: "Don't be annoyed, everything in the world has a cause and effect, I am not a cause before the gate of Chen Bingyu Gate today, but an effect, as for what the cause is, the festival commander knows better than me." ”
Ge Shuhan said coldly: "For the sake of only five thousand war horses, you made such a battle? Don't you want your future or your life? ”
"The marshal is wrong again, I am not for five thousand war horses, but for justice. I don't like to bully others, but I also don't like others to bully me, whoever robs me of my things, I have to seek justice at any cost, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the demons in my life. ”
Ge Shuhan said angrily: "If I refuse to truce today, I have to fight with your Anxi army, have you thought about how to end it?" ”
Gu Qing said calmly: "Then there will be a big battle, no matter how many casualties there are, no matter how the Son of Heaven punishes, it will be after the war, at least I want justice, the swords of the soldiers of the Anxi Army have been helped me recover." ”
Ge Shuhan was stunned, stared at Gu Qing for a long time, and a few words burst out from between his teeth: "Gu Qing, you are a madman." ”
Gu Qing smiled: "Don't be surprised, most of the time I'm still very normal, and I only get sick occasionally......"
Taking a sip of wine slowly, Gu Qing said leisurely: "The two armies are still preparing for battle, what does the marshal mean?" Do you want to continue the fight, or give me back the warhorse? ”
Ge Shuhan's face was pale, and he pursed his lips tightly and didn't squeak for a long time.
Returning the war horse is to serve the soft clothes thoroughly, continue to fight, the future and life are difficult to protect, as an adult, how to choose?
Normal adults make the right choice, and although Ge Shuhan is a fierce general, he is not stupid. I don't know how Gu Qing will explain to Chang'an next, at least his brother Shuhan can't be his funeral companion.
"War Horse...... Give it back to you! Ge Shuhan glared at him angrily, and burst out a few words word by word.
Gu Qing still smiled very easily, raised his glass and saluted him, and said: "Ugly words are said in front, I know that the territory of the Hexi Jiedu Embassy is on the road between Chang'an and Anxi, if there is any allocation of grain, grass, war horses and weapons and other things in the imperial court in the future, when passing through the territory of the Hexi Jiedu Embassy, I also ask Geshu Jieshuai to raise his noble hand, Anxi faces Tubo and the big food, it is not easy for tens of thousands of soldiers to fight the border, and what should be given to them, not a grain of rice can be missing, otherwise you and I will inevitably make trouble as unpleasant as today." ”
Ge Shuhan said with a gloomy expression: "Are you threatening Ben Shuai? ”
Gu Qing laughed and said, "It's just a normal request, it should be mine, and nothing less can be missed...... Brother Shu Jie handsome Mo glare, and don't rush murderous, believe me, I can't control myself when I go crazy, who dares to put his hand into my basket, desperately want to chop off his hand, I was born with such a reckless nature, I don't know how many troubles I had when I was in Chang'an, in fact, the world misunderstood me a lot, I have always been someone else provoked me first, when others don't provoke me, I am mostly gentle as jade, pure and kind......"
Ge Shuhan only felt a breath of adverse qi surging in his chest.
"Gentle as jade, pure and generous"......
How cheeky can you say such shameless words, the bow and arrow of the Anxi Army behind you are still pointing at me, embarrassed to say "pure and good"?
There is nowhere to vent his anger, Ge Shuhan has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his temper is as fierce as fire, but at this moment, he does not dare to get angry in front of Gu Qing.
The horizontal ones are afraid of being stunned, and the stunned ones are afraid of dying.
It is indisputable that the undead are at the top of the food chain of human society. Those who are as irascible as Ge Shuhan don't dare to play tricks in front of Gu Qing, because Gu Qing in his eyes is a crazy person, and after being stimulated, he will make irreparable decisions at any time, and at the same time he will go to hell, he will also drag him into hell together.
Picking up the wine jar on the low table, Ge Shuhan poured most of the jar with a bang at the mouth of the altar.
Gu Qing regretfully put down the wine cup, this person is not particular at all, and a good jar of wine was ruined by him.
The desert, the yellow sand, the ancient road, the Xiongguan, the sword rattling in front of the two armies, the two armored commanders sit and drink each other, talk and laugh between a grudge and hatred, what a wonderful picture, this matter may be recorded in history in the future, cited as a good story for the ages.
It's a pity that one of the parties to the story is not in a good temper, and the wine has been poured into most of the jar, but his anger seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and his anger is visible and tangible, because his belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it is full of anger that cannot be vented.
It opened my eyes, I lived two lifetimes, and for the first time I saw a man who could be inflated.
