The next day, Gao Xianzhi was invited to the Zuowei camp.

To be honest, Gao Xianzhi really didn't want to come, since he chatted with Gu Qingshen once, Gao Xianzhi had been disheartened, and was suspected by Li Longji secondly, and the most frustrating thing for him was that his strategic policy towards Anxi over the years had almost been completely denied, and even because of what he did, Datang's western strategy fell into chaos.

The emperor didn't want to see him, and he knew that he had done something wrong, this frustration deeply hit Gao Xianzhi's self-confidence, and after thinking about it a lot, Gao Xianzhi no longer had the arrogance he had in the past, but became very depressed.

What Gu Qing saw on the sidelines of the school was the depressed and listless Gao Xianzhi.

After seeing Gao Xianzhi, Gu Qing couldn't help but be stunned, after not seeing him for a few days, Gao Xianzhi seemed to be a lot older, as if there was a little fox spirit in the house who sucked his essence and blood every day.

"Gao Jieshuai, you are the lord of Anxi, you must cheer up." Gu Qing sincerely persuaded.

Gao Xianzhi laughed self-deprecatingly: "What is the lord of Anxi, he is just a veteran who survives, and when the edict comes to the east, I will go back to Chang'an to retire." ”

Gu Qing sighed: "Gao Jieshuai has been fighting all his life, how can he retire in vain? Anxi needs to be strategized, otherwise a young boy like me, you can rest assured that the four towns of Anxi will be handed over to me? ”

Gao Xianzhi glanced at him and smiled: "Although Gu Houye is young, he is also a brave and resourceful person, I have heard about many of your deeds in Chang'an, Anxi will be handed over to you, I can rest assured." ”

As he was talking, a big drum suddenly sounded in the camp, and Gao Xianzhi looked at it unexpectedly and said, "Isn't today the day of drill?" ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses I bring are different, every day is a day of drill, and only after five days of practice can you rest for one day." ”

Gao Xianzhi frowned: "The drill is too frequent, not afraid of the turmoil of the soldiers?" ”

"Promise a heavy reward, and the army's spirit will only be more stable."

Seeing Gao Xianzhi's noncommittal appearance, Gu Qing smiled and said: "It's useless to say more, so I ask Gao Jieshuai to take a look at the military appearance of my left guard and horse, but it can be returned to your eyes." ”

After speaking, Gu Qing ordered Han Jie to help him remove his armor, and warmed up with his hands and feet in front of Gao Xianzhi in a short shirt.

Gao Xianzhi was stunned and said, "What is Gu Houye doing?" ”

Gu Qing pointed to the dusty soldiers gathering in the distance, and said with a smile: "I will share weal and woe with the soldiers, and the sergeants will practice, and I, the coach, will not be an exception, otherwise how can I be convinced?" ”

After Gao Xianzhi was stunned, there was a look of appreciation in his eyes, and he sighed: "Gu Hou Ye is really a very person, he can do extraordinary things, he can have such a heart and perseverance, and he will never lose anything when Anxi hands it over to you." ”

Gu Qing laughed, moved his hands and feet, and stepped forward.

On the school field, the soldiers began routine drills under the command of their respective generals in battalions and gangs, from obstacles to long-distance running to cross-country, slogans and shouts of killing, and the dust on the school field was flying, but there was an inexplicable shocking and murderous atmosphere.

Gu Qing was like an ordinary soldier at this time, following the soldiers to run obstacles, rolling sand, and carrying weights across the country, and after more than an hour, the whole training process was completed, and Gu Qing dragged his tired and crumbling body back.

Sitting on the recliner that Han Jie had already prepared, he didn't care about being polite to Gao Xianzhi, Gu Qing gasped and poured half of the water into his skin, and he was sweating profusely and slumped on the recliner, humming so tired.

Gao Xianzhi looked at Gu Qing who was sitting in surprise, and then looked at the school field that was still dusty.

Today he can be regarded as a long insight, it turns out that the soldiers and horses under Gu Qing's command are trained like this, so ...... What are those novel parallel bars, balance beams, obstacle walls, etc. on the school field? What is the use of their existence?

Under the scorching sun, Gao Xianzhi stood for more than two hours, staring at the drills of the soldiers on the school field without blinking, and finally the drills were over, and the exhausted soldiers lined up again, Gao Xianzhi heard the general's violent roll call, and named a total of ten people, in front of all the soldiers, ten soldiers stepped forward, and each of them happily received a string of copper coins from the hands of the generals.

Then the general continued to roll call, called the names of a hundred people, and these hundred people also came out, happily leading ten sheep to the barracks, with a joyful look on his face as if he had entered a cave room, which made people feel particularly sad.

In the wild and bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, there are no women and no money, I really can't imagine what these hundred elite men who have been holding back for a long time will do to these ten sheep in the barracks, if they have to make the best use of them, there are many other things they can do before eating the sheep......

Therefore, there are still many things that need to be improved urgently in the rules set by Gu Qing, such as eating sheep, it is best to eat it in front of everyone, so as not to hide in the barracks and do something immoral.

Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but turn around and ask Gu Qing: "This, this is ......"

Gu Qing glanced at it and said lazily: "Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and the daily heavy reward must be cashed in public, the top ten in practice will be rewarded with one hundred wen, and the top 100 will be full of meat and ......."

Saying that, Gu Qing sighed and muttered: "These guys are so unlucky, their rankings almost don't change every day, are those guys in the top ten come to Anxi to make a fortune?" ”

Counting the days, the top ten sergeants have probably earned the same amount of money, and if this continues, the first batch of Wanwen households will soon appear in the sergeants, and what kind of soldiers will they be, and they will return to the countryside to calculate the local master.

"Han Jie!" Gu Qing suddenly shouted: "Go and tell the battalion officer, the top ten...... No, all the top 100 soldiers wrote down their names, and they were not allowed to retire from the army and return to their hometowns within five years, and after earning me so much money, they had to sell my lives a few times in a down-to-earth manner, do you really think you have come to make a fortune? I haven't made a fortune, so why do they dare to make the first move? ”

Han Jie took the order and hurried away.

Gao Xianzhi had a smile in his eyes and sighed: "Gu Houye's method of training soldiers is really ...... Unheard of and breathtaking. ”

Gu Qing smiled: "Gao Jieshuai, are you praising me or scolding me?" I came up with this method of training out of order, but it makes sense when you look closely. ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded, took a closer look at the obstacle wall, parallel bars and balance beam built on the school field, he observed it very carefully, and even stepped forward to try it himself, and when he walked back, his expression was already thoughtful.

"What does the marshal think?" Gu Qing asked with a smile.

Gao Xianzhi groaned: "It's novel, but it's really reasonable...... It is much stronger than training the formation in one move, and these objects seem to be able to train many aspects of the body. ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "I have ordered, after a month, there will be a military exercise between the Left Guard and the Anxi Army, both armies are the elite of the Tang Dynasty, it is better to compete face-to-face, if the Left Guard wins, it means that my training method is effective, and then it will be promoted to the whole army of the four towns of Anxi, how about the commander?" ”

Gao Xianzhi nodded: "But also, if it is really good for military training, I have no reason to allow it, who doesn't want the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to become more and more elite." ”

Gu Qing paused, and suddenly said, "I don't know what the relationship between the marshal and the prison army Bian Lingcheng is?" ”

Gao Xianzhi glanced at him quite unexpectedly, muttered, and said slowly: "It's just business. ”

The words were very vague, but Gu Qing understood the meaning.

I am afraid that the two have a deep grudge, otherwise it is impossible not to even bother to say the kind words on the surface, the so-called "business dealings" are actually old and dead do not get along, and even enmity against each other.

"Why did Gu Hou Ye suddenly mention this person?" Gao Xianzhi asked with a smile, his eyes were meaningful.

Gu Qing also smiled: "I just think this person from the border supervisor is very interesting......

"What's the fun?"

"To be precise, it's been more interesting in the past few days, and for some reason, the border prison army has suddenly become bold in the past few days, and they are all holding their heads high when they speak and do things, which makes people feel more powerful, hehe."

After Gu Qing finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Gao Xianzhi.

This sentence is not idle chatter, but a vague reminder to Gao Xianzhi, if Gao Xianzhi's IQ is on the passing line, he should understand the meaning of Gu Qing's words.

Although Gu Qing's goal was to drive Gao Xianzhi away, if he made a choice between Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng, Gu Qing didn't mind adjusting his goal immediately and killing Bian Lingcheng first.

Gao Xianzhi's fault is at most self-righteous and arrogant, but Gu Qing deeply knows that if a eunuch is bad, it is really the kind of bad that has sores on the corners of his mouth and pus on the soles of his feet, and it is so bad that there is no bottom line, such a person is much more dangerous than Gao Xianzhi, and he must be eliminated first.

Although Bian Lingcheng has not done anything to damage the interests of Gu Qing and the four towns of Anxi at present, but now is a time of peace, a prison army cannot exert his destructive power, Gu Qing is worried that once there is a war in Anxi, Bian Lingcheng will not be so peaceful, and the damage he caused alone at that time may kill many soldiers.

Sure enough, after Gao Xianzhi heard Gu Qing's words, his brows suddenly furrowed, he pondered for a moment with a calm face, and then looked at Gu Qing deeply.

Gu Qinghui smiled brightly, harmless to humans and animals, sunny appearance, cute and handsome, just a little less festive.

The two silently seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, a tacit understanding between pure masters.

…………

A rush of horses' hooves interrupted their train of thought.

A knight was stopped outside the gate of the left guard camp and shouted at the soldiers on duty at the gate from a distance, but the soldiers on duty in the camp were expressionless and refused to let him in.

Gao Xianzhi glanced in the direction of Yuanmen, frowned again, and said in a deep voice: "That's my personal guard, there should be an urgent report." ”

Gu Qing raised his chin at a guard next to him and said, "Go and let him in." ”

Gao Xianzhi's personal guards rushed to the school after entering the camp, and immediately saluted after finding Gao Xianzhi, and said urgently: "Jie Shuai, I just received a military report, the Tubo thieves sent 30,000 troops, and they entered Khotan ten days ago, and the Khotanese defenders were defeated and retreated, and Tubo has occupied Khotan Town, please make a decision." ”

Gao Xianzhi and Gu Qing were shocked, and stood up at the same time, Gao Xianzhi's face was pale: "Khotan Town is lost?" ”

"Yes, Khotan has fallen into the hands of Tibet, and the remnants of the soldiers are gathering along the direction of the Yuhe River towards Qiuzi Town."
