Bian Lingcheng wants to vomit blood now, ten catties don't have that ability, but two or two are hand-to-hand.

As a prisoner, if he really asks to return to Chang'an, what is waiting for him must not be promoted, it is very likely that four Kunlun slaves are waiting outside the city gate to carry his coffin, suona pipa and huqin various instruments play cheerful tunes, Kunlun slaves carry the coffin while carrying the coffin while singing and dancing to bury him.

"Master Hou, Master Hou...... Don't make a fuss, where is the slave and maid getting sick from hard work, and why do you vomit ten catties of blood......" Bian Lingcheng said with an ugly face.

If someone else dared to say this, Bian Lingcheng would have turned his face a long time ago, but unfortunately the Hou Ye in front of him finally returned to the Holy Family, Bian Lingcheng didn't dare to offend, and only dared to secretly rub the black complaint.

Seeing that Bian Lingcheng's face was not good-looking, Gu Qing discussed seriously: "Then how about vomiting twenty catties of blood?" No more, any more and death. ”

Bian Lingcheng couldn't help but say: "Ten catties are also dead!" …… Master Hou, can we not talk about vomiting blood? Why don't you seize power with Gao Xianzhi today? A while ago, Gao Xianzhi was a lot more honest, and he must have understood the mind of the Son of Heaven......"

"Today, if the marquis takes over the military power of Anxi in front of the generals, and the slaves and maids are helping you by the side, Gao Xianzhi will definitely not dare to say more, and will give the military power with both hands. The commander of this fight against the Tibetan thief army is you, Master Hou, why are you willing to give up your military power, and even the soldiers and horses under your command are at his disposal......"

Gu Qing's eyes grew cold, glanced at him, and said lightly: "The border supervisor said it lightly, he didn't follow the edict, he didn't get the order, let me openly take over the military power in front of the generals, this is called 'committing the following crimes', to put it seriously, this is called 'mutiny', understand?" If I really do this, Gao Jieshuai slashed my majesty with a knife, and he can't say that he did wrong, you can do it. ”

Bian Lingcheng was speechless for a moment.

On the bright side, of course, there is no edict or order, and it is reasonable that Gu Qing is unwilling to take this risk.

But Bian Lingcheng still felt unwilling, the situation in the Anxi Army was directly related to Bian Lingcheng's life and future, and Bian Lingcheng understood the meaning of the secret decree of the Son of Heaven, Gao Xianzhi and Gu Qing were both unstable factors, if he could squeeze out these two people, wouldn't he have made a great contribution?

So Bian Lingcheng actually had the idea of pandering, letting the two of them fight with each other, and he would reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It's a pity that Gu Qing thinks the same way, everyone has a heart that wants to be a fisherman.

"Border Supervision Army, the big battle is about to start, while there is still a short peaceful time of one or two days, why don't you come to my camp and have a drink?" Gu Qing warmly invited.

Bian Lingcheng, who had a failed idea, was full of displeasure, and refused without hesitation when he heard the words.

Gu Qing had no choice but to smile and say goodbye to Bian Lingcheng.

The two went in opposite directions, and Bian Lingcheng walked very slowly, and his expression gradually became cold.

…………

Gu Qing returned to the camp, the left guard soldiers and horses in the camp had begun to prepare, everywhere was the shouting and scolding of the generals, the fine forage of grain and grass and war horses was piled up on the edge of the camp, and the camp was full of busy and tense atmosphere.

Gu Qing returned to the tent, sat alone at the table, spread out the parchment map and began to study, his brows furrowed more and more.

This sudden battle completely disrupted Gu Qing's plan.

According to Gu Qing's original plan, he planned to slowly take over Anxi's military power within half a year, and train a strong army, and then squeeze out or kill Bian Lingcheng.

At the beginning, he gave Yang Guozhong a heavy gift, and finally asked for extra war horses and weapons from him, just to prepare for the future recruitment of regimental training.

However, the sudden invasion of Tibet, the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Anxi, including Gu Qing's soldiers and horses, were all integrated, and Gao Xianzhi's wartime command was an agreement reached between Gu Qing and him.

"Let's talk about it after this battle, maybe it's not a bad thing, just let the Left Guard soldiers and horses go through the tempering of a war......" Gu Qing muttered while sitting alone in the tent.

Not only Zuo Wei needs to be tempered, but Gu Qing himself needs to be tempered.

Since he came to this world, he has never experienced a real war, the kind of picture of thousands of horses rushing into battle, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he has never seen it, this is by no means comparable to the small scene of him killing a village ruffian or fighting desperately with dozens of dead soldiers.

A commander without any battlefield experience is obviously unqualified, from this point of view, this war came in time, as if it was the will of heaven in the dark, and he Gu Qing is the chosen son, what do you want to do so much, honestly accept the main quest given to him by God to increase his experience points.

"Han Jie!" Gu Qing suddenly raised his voice and called.

Han intervened in the handsome tent and clenched his fists.

"Pass my order, all the guards from today onwards all change into the iron plate armor I made for you, the weapons are fully prepared, the arrows and crossbows are prepared, the war horses are selected as the most robust, each guard is equipped with two war horses, especially grain and grass, quickly send people out to get more meat, be sure to sneak around, hide well and don't let other soldiers find out......" Gu Qing ordered one by one.

He has no experience in fighting, so he has nothing to command, just respond to the situation, but no matter what the situation, personal safety and arrogant life must be guaranteed in quality and quantity, and this cannot be sloppy.

Han Jie wrote down Gu Qing's orders one by one, and said: "Hou Ye rest assured, you are the boss, and you usually won't encounter danger, if you encounter danger, the last general and his brothers will definitely fight to protect Hou Ye and not let Hou Ye hurt a cold hair." ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "Everyone should take care, I hope that after this battle, the brothers will be embarrassed, you are my last line of defense, you must be careful." ”

After Han Jie received the order to go out, Gu Qing called Chang Zhong and four other generals.

Gu Qing got straight to the point and said: "Chang Zhong, pass on my general order, in this battle, my left guard soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy, and they must not be afraid to fight, otherwise the military law will be dealt with strictly, and the whole army will be ordered up and down. ”

Chang Zhong and other generals were overjoyed when they heard this, fifty guan is a huge amount of money, and now the price is not high in these years, fifty guan can make a family live a luxurious life for ten or twenty years.

Gu Qing smiled helplessly.

In fact, for an army, the reward is inferior, the most elite army often has a faith, a kind of determination to sacrifice life and death for something, faith is the real soul of an army.

It's a pity that the current Gu Qing can't do it.

…………

The next day, the Jiedu Embassy of Qiuzi City gathered again, and this time Gao Xianzhi brought the news that the scouts had heard.

Ten days ago, the Tibetan thief army launched a night raid, the city wall of Khotan City is not strong, it is in the desert area all the year round, and the city wall has been weathered for many years, so the Tibetan thief army easily attacked the city and had a street battle with the Tang soldiers stationed in Khotan City.

However, there were 30,000 people in Tibet, and the Tang garrison in Khotan was only 8,000.

And Khotan City, after being occupied by the Tibetan thief army, half of the city was set on fire, the people in the city did not know how many were slaughtered, and the official treasury of the Khotanese City Palace was looted.

The scouts also brought new news that the Tibetan thieves had occupied Khotan, wreaked havoc in the city for three days, and then left the city and headed east, marching towards the town of Boxian.

Boxian Town is the former and the end of the country, Zhenguan nine years by the Tang Dynasty to destroy the country, the third year of the Son of Heaven changed its name to "Boxian Town", under the rule of Shazhou, Longyou Dao, the geographical location of this city is in the eastern edge of the Taklamakan Desert.

After talking about the enemy's situation, Gao Xianzhi stood up and said proudly: "Now that the enemy situation is clear, the Tibetan thieves not only offended me in Khotan, but also dared to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty alone. The congregation will obey the order! ”

With a bang, all the generals stood up and clenched their fists.

"The soldiers and horses of the four towns have been assembled, the grain and grass weapons have been prepared, the commander ordered, the army immediately marched, the whole army brought enough food, grass and water, led by experienced guides, we crossed the desert, marched directly to Boxian Town, and before the Tubo thieves arrived at Boxian Town, intercepted the enemy in the west of the Jimo River, and gathered and annihilated it!"

The generals were commanded.

Gao Xianzhi said again: "There are 30,000 enemies who are coming, and this commander will inform the envoys of Beiting Jie Du of the military situation, and ask them to send reinforcements to the south, and divide into two ways with our army, and strive to annihilate the enemy army." ”

The generals dispersed, and Gu Qing was still sitting in the hall, wrinkling his eyebrows thoughtfully.

Gao Xianzhi looked at him and said curiously, "Does Gu Hou Ye have any questions?" ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Jie Shuai, the last general has no doubts, he just thinks ...... The Tibetan thief army is a bit abnormal, when they came to invade the territory in the past, were they all such disorderly fights? ”

"No rules?" Gao Xianzhi was stunned: "Why did Master Hou say this? ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "The last general has never been in the battle formation, and what he thinks and says may be a little naïve, so please don't laugh at the marshal...... The last general was just wondering why the Tibetan thief army suddenly launched a campaign, why they wanted to march towards Boxian Town after capturing Khotan, and what they wanted, whether to capture the city and loot the property and women, or to permanently occupy it as the land of Tibet......"

Gao Xianzhi thought for a while, and said: "It's really a bit strange, in the past, most of the Tubo invaded the Kou, most of them retreated to the mainland after looting, if the looting was not enough, they would also march west in the direction of the Green Ridge, after all, there are many cities there, and those small countries in the Western Regions are quite rich, this time the Tubo thieves actually took the town of Boxian, and this time the handsome was the first to encounter it." ”
