Chapter 375: Life Confidant
Truth is within the striking radius of the fist.
This sentence is valid all over the world, ancient and modern.
Gu Qing has the strength and confidence, so he dares to send troops to Yumen Pass, and he is honest and honest, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers of the Anxi Army who support him behind him, which is why Gu Qing dares to ask Ge Shuhan for justice.
And Ge Shuhan had to admit softly and decisively agree to return the war horse at the moment when the 20,000 army was on the verge of breaking out, which was also a wise decision after weighing the pros and cons as the commander of the Hexi Army.
It is true that he is aggrieved, but in front of the tense array of the two armies, Ge Shuhan had to reason with Gu Qing calmly.
Because Gu Qing had strength behind him, Ge Shuhan was willing to reason with him.
Human feelings are sophistication, and they are so realistic.
"The five thousand war horses are handed back to you, can Gu Jieshuai immediately collect his troops and return to Anxi?" Ge Shuhan said coldly.
Gu Qing said with a smile: "You and I are both the commanders of the Tang Army, although the places under our jurisdiction are connected from end to end, it is difficult to see each other, the scenery outside Yumen Pass today is unique, why don't you have a few drinks with me, it is also an elegant matter." ”
Ge Shuhan sneered: "I have nothing to say to you, Gu Jieshuai still thinks about the reason, you raise troops without authorization, provoke the Hexi Army, and deserve to be beheaded for the crime, if I were you, I wouldn't be ridiculous at the moment." ”
Gu Qing sighed: "In order to protect myself, I have no choice but to drag Brother Shu Jie Shuai into the water, after all, the grievances between the two military towns were provoked by Brother Shu Jie Shuai first, and I can't let me suffer ...... alone."
Facing Ge Shuhan's shocked eyes, Gu Qing's expression was full of apologies: "Ge Shu Jieshuai, offended, after this catastrophe, I will make amends to Jieshuai in person, and this time you will go into the water with me......"
Ge Shuhan was furious, and finally couldn't help but shoot the case: "Gu Qing, don't deceive people too much!" Do you know that I don't dare to fight with your Anxi army? ”
Gu Qing smiled: "If the festival marshal really ordered a battle, it would be great, even if His Majesty blames me, I will be beheaded at the execution ground and the festival marshal will be my companion, Gu Mou is so lucky......
Ge Shuhan was furious, with a flick of the thumb of his right hand, the saber on his waist was half a foot out of the sheath.
Gu Qing's expression remained unchanged, but the generals of the Anxi Army behind him saw this scene from a distance, and when they saw that Ge Shuhan wanted to draw his sword, the striker Li Siye shouted violently: "Modao Battalion, enter!" ”
Rumble!
The three thousand Mo swordsmen marched forward in unison, and the drums of the march also rumbled at this moment, the impact of the blades of the armor of 10,000 people, the sound of neat footsteps, and the sound of heavy hammers hitting everyone's hearts.
In the vast desert, I vaguely heard the low roar of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests.
The warm and warm atmosphere instantly became tense again, the air was filled with a thick murderous aura, the officers and men of the Anxi Army were ready to go, and the striker Li Siye was carrying a Mo knife in one hand, staring at Ge Shuhan from afar.
The sudden movement of the Anxi army made the Hexi army scramble, and they also made defensive moves.
Seeing this, Ge Shuhan's heart was beating violently, and his eyes cracked and his teeth clenched.
Gu Qing calmly picked up the wine cup and said, "Is Geshu Jieshuai trying to kill me?" I'm too timid to see the blade, so take the knife back quickly, and it will frighten me out of the way, and the consequences will be serious, well, worse than now. ”
Ge Shuhan's grievances today seem to have no end, and he didn't expect that his small actions could cause such a violent reaction from the Anxi army.
Looking at Gu Qing, who was sitting calmly and steadily, Ge Shuhan took a deep breath, slowly retracted the knife that was half a foot out of the sheath, and then sat down.
Gu Qing smiled, and gestured behind him without looking back, Li Siye saw it from a distance, so he shouted violently: "Modao Battalion, retreat!" ”
With a bang, the three thousand Mo swordsmen took three steps back like a tide.
Staring at Gu Qing's face, Ge Shuhan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha, if you are really a hero, you have seen it today!" Gu Jieshuai is really as extraordinary as the rumors, and the military power of the Anxi Iron Army is even more unforgettable. ”
Gu Qing looked at him with a smile, Ge Shuhan was still pale at this time, thinking about today's experience, Gu Qing had to feel aggrieved for him.
I'm so angry, but I still have to smile.
The advantage is enough, and Liwei is enough, Gu Qing decided to ease the atmosphere, he didn't want to really make a feud with Ge Shuhan, since the purpose of this trip has been achieved, the next step is to give sweet dates.
"Gu is young and vigorous, and it is inevitable to act impulsively. The Anxi soldiers under his command were also used to being unorthodox by Gu, and made amends to Geshu Jieshuai, there are a lot of Jieshuai, don't worry about me. Gu Qing smiled and bowed his hand to apologize.
Ge Shuhan breathed a long sigh of relief, and Tie Qing's face gradually returned to normal.
From meeting to this moment today, I finally heard this thing say a word.
I really want to make a big difference for this rare human remark......
"You and I don't know each other, haha, until this moment, the old man really admires His Majesty's wisdom of knowing people, Anxi Protectorate has a figure like Gu Jieshuai in charge, the western defense line of the Tang Dynasty should be as stable as Mount Tai, with Gu Jieshuai as a person, presumably the barbarian thief will never be able to get half a cent from Anxi's jurisdiction." Ge Shuhan stroked his beard and smiled lightly.
Gu Qing smacked his lips, tsk! It sounds like a compliment, but it doesn't always feel like a good thing.
It doesn't matter, bear with it, after all, Ge Shuhan's aggrieved mood at the moment can be understood by himself.
"Geshu Jieshuai is the world's famous general, Gu has long heard of the reputation of Jieshuai, and has always looked up to Jieshuai Gaoshan, hating Jing, Jieshuai has made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, Gu wants to ask Jieshuai for advice."
Ge Shuhan let out a long laugh of relief.
This evil beast said a second human word today, and it was very good.
Avoiding sensitive topics and not mentioning them, Ge Shuhan quickly glanced at the Anxi Army opposite, especially when he saw the forward three thousand Mo swordsmen, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"When Gao Xianzhi was in charge of Anxi, he didn't see the demeanor of today's Anxi Army, but he didn't expect that the Anxi Army had 3,000 Mo swordsmen, which was really the envy of the old man......" Ge Shuhan sighed with emotion.
Gu Qing waved his hand indifferently: "It's just a small scene, the three thousand Mo swordsmen are newly recruited, today is the first time to go into battle, and they still need to be trained to form a real combat power, and they will have a look in a year and a half." ”
Ge Shuhan hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "The old man wants to ask Gu Jieshuai, with the financial resources of the four towns of Anxi, it is already reluctant to support tens of thousands of soldiers on weekdays, how can he afford these three thousand Mo swordsmen?" ”
Gu Qing blinked and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Brother Shu Jieshuai hasn't been to Anxi for many years, today's Anxi is different from previous years, after I took office, I have prospered businessmen, expanded the city, built a bazaar, and the merchants of the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty have come to Qiuci City to do business, and now Qiuci City has a new atmosphere, if Geshu Jieshuai has leisure another day, you might as well come to my Qiuci City to see...... Rest assured, next time you see Geshu Jieshuai, you will be greeted with wine, not swords. ”
The corners of Ge Shuhan's mouth twitched, and he said, "Daxing businessmen have such financial resources? How old is the Anxi Jiedu Embassy now? ”
Gu Qing thought for a moment and said, "...... A lot. ”
Geshuhan snorted dissatisfiedly.
Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "Don't blame the festival handsome, I have handed over the affairs of the business to the people below to take care of, I rarely ask about it, I really don't know it, but I know that if I want to pour out its financial resources, my four towns in Anxi can afford to raise 10,000 Mo swordsmen, and any more will be a little reluctant." ”
Ge Shuhan gasped, and his expression was suddenly very exciting.
The Hexi Army is still waiting for the spring grain and grass owed by the imperial court, but the Anxi Jiedu Envoy can easily afford to raise 10,000 Mo swordsmen.
Goshuhan shed tears of poverty......
Gu Qing still had a casual tone, as ordinary as talking about the weather: "Ten thousand Mo knife hands, it's just a small scene, in fact, you don't need so many Mo knife hands, training and selecting people is a troublesome matter, three thousand is enough, the money saved to buy more meat, the soldiers of my Anxi Army can eat a solid meal of meat every few days, and the soldiers are very happy, hehe......"
Ge Shuhan's heart was congested again, as if it was more serious than when the two armies faced off just now.
There is meat to eat......
Do you know how miserable our Hexi army is, and even basic food security is not enough.
Seeing Ge Shuhan's unpredictable expression, Gu Qing smiled and said: "Today is my Anxi Army, Meng Lang came, in order to compensate Ge Shujie, it is better to ...... Gu helped you make a small fortune? I wonder if you are interested? ”
Ge Shuhan's heart was instantly healed, he sat up straight unconsciously, and arched his hand: "I want to hear it." ”
"Jieshuai, you have also seen it, many of the three thousand Mo swordsmen of the Anxi Army are not strong enough, I want to replace a batch, but the selection of Mo swordsmen is too harsh, and they must be tall and strong, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Anxi Army have been selected several times, and they still have nothing to gain, what Gu meant...... Can I choose a group of suitable candidates in your Hexi Army to be a Mo swordsman in Anxi? ”
Seeing that Ge Shuhan frowned, Gu Qing said again: "Of course it's not for nothing, so let's do it, for every person selected in the Hexi Army, I am willing to give you ten stones of grain and ten guan money, if you choose a hundred people, it will be a thousand stones of grain and a thousand guan money...... Gu heard that the Hexi Army is having a hard time now, right? Now that it is almost autumn, the spring food has not been replenished, with my money and food, how much can the Hexi army last for a while, how about the festival commander? ”
The appearance of being rich and rich was very annoying, but Gu Qing's condition Ge Shuhan couldn't refuse.
There are too many things to worry about in charge of an army, tens of thousands of soldiers have to eat, drink and Lazar are all in charge of the commander, Ge Shuhan has been having a very bad time recently, if he has Gu Qing's money and food, at least he can temporarily relax himself, and if he doesn't get some food and grass, the soldiers will have to drink porridge......
Immediately, Ge Shuhan was startled.
What's going on now? It was obviously a tense moment between the two armies, why did the two commanders talk about business?
What a weird painting style......
Gu Qing saw that Ge Shuhan's eyes suddenly cleared, and he seemed to be about to struggle out of his lust for profit, so he hurriedly waved his hand behind him.
Li Siye saw Gu Qing's raised hand and hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.
Gu Qing waved his hand at him and said, "Order the army, retreat ten miles back and set up camp." ”
Li Siye glanced at Ge Shuhan hesitantly, and said, "But Master Hou, aren't we fighting with the Hexi Army?" ”
Gu Qing's face was blank, and he said solemnly: "What a battle!" You've drunk too much, haven't you? ”
Suddenly held Ge Shuhan's hand, interlocked his fingers, and didn't care that Ge Shuhan's flesh was numb and goosebumps all over his body, sitting on the futon and constantly swinging, Gu Qing glanced at him affectionately, and said to Li Siye: "I met Ge Shu Jieshuai late, and I have already become the only confidant in my life, and I will play a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" passionately for Ge Shu Jieshuai, you are too bad at this scene, go back!" ”
