It's rare to have a chicken in life.

On the premise that their respective interests are not violated, Gu Qing feels that he can become a confidant with Ge Shuhan, and share the same happiness and hardship.

However, Ge Shuhan obviously didn't think so, and from his expression, it could be seen that he seemed to be more resistant, especially resisting interlocking with Gu Qing's fingers.

After struggling hard, he didn't break free, so Ge Shuhan had to cough twice and looked at Gu Qing.

"Gu Jieshuai, it's okay to retire from the army, and it's okay to drink, but you don't have to ...... to play "Mountains and Flowing Water"

Gu Qing took the opportunity to say: "It's okay if you don't play, Gu doesn't know the rhythm of music, and with Ge Shujie's handsome and rough temperament, he must not understand it, haha, it's just that." ”

Turning his head to look at Li Siye, Gu Qing waved his hand and said, "Quickly retreat the army, don't let my friendship with Ge Shu Jie Shuai cast an unclean shadow." ”

Li Siye looked at Ge Shuhan again, and reluctantly clenched his fists and said, "Obey the general's order." ”

Riding the horse back to the front, Li Siye conveyed Gu Qing's order, and the soldiers of the Anxi army immediately retreated like a tide.

The Hexi Army on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief.

They are all officers and men of the border army who have experienced bloody battles on the battlefield, and when the two armies face each other, they can have a premonition that they will win or lose, and they have to admit that today's Hexi Army cannot be the opponent of the Anxi Army under any circumstances.

The Anxi Army's multi-branch configuration, the military discipline of the prohibitions, and the momentum of the Changhong Crossing the Sun have far surpassed the Hexi Army.

Not to mention anything else, just the three thousand Mo knife men in the forward of the Anxi Army are terrifying, once the Mo Dao Battalion is mobilized and wields the Mo Dao Battalion forward, the casualties of the Hexi Army in front of the Mo Dao Battalion are really unimaginable.

Fortunately, everyone is the army of the Tang Dynasty, fortunately, the commanders of both sides are willing to sit down and chat, otherwise it will really be out of control, once the two sides go to war, today is the day when the Anxi Army will bloody the Hexi Army.

The Anxi army has withdrawn, and Ge Shuhan is naturally not a person who does not know what to do, so he ordered the Hexi army to also withdraw and retreat to the Yumen Pass, leaving only some guards to guard behind him from afar.

The two armies collected their troops, and there was no one outside Yumen Pass, leaving only a pergola and a long distance of yellow sand? The desolate and timeless picture, like a totem engraved on a stone stele, leaves a trace of clues for future generations to find the ancient Yonghuai.

Inside the pergola? The two Jiedu envoys who are in charge of the northwest half of the Tang Dynasty sit opposite each other? In this bleak picture? Get together and sneakily talk about business.

"The Anxi army pays for food, and my Hexi army sends people, this ......" Ge Shuhan touched the messy beard under his chin? He said hesitantly: "Isn't this a human trafficker trader?" And it's still the soldiers of my Hexi Army who are sold? The old man always felt that it didn't look like a human thing......"

"Be confident, remove the word 'like'......" Gu Qing subconsciously said cheaply, and then hurriedly changed his words: "Is the festival too worried?" Say something against the ear? Should your landscape be bigger? Anxi and Hexi are both important imperial court towns? Every year, the military department of the imperial court has soldiers and horses to be replaced? What we're just doing is privately swapping hundreds or thousands of people? Moreover, Gu will also ask His Majesty to explain this matter clearly, and His Majesty will not refuse to agree to this trivial matter. ”

"The Hexi Army has money and food, and can calm the army's heart, and the commander is the one who leads the troops? What are the consequences of the lack of food in the army? Swap a few hundred people for the military heart of tens of thousands of Hexi Army? Isn't this a good deal? ”

Gu Qing's voice was full of bewitchment? Ge Shuhan wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "It's appropriate, I'm afraid of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an......"

"Will I be distracted from the Son of Heaven? Anxi is facing the Great Food and Tubo, the pressure is greater than that of the Hexi Army, and it needs a better source of soldiers, and after I carefully analyze the pros and cons in the song, Your Majesty will agree. ”

Ge Shuhan was finally moved: "One person for ten pieces of money and ten stones of grain? ”

"That's right."

Ge Shuhan gritted his teeth: "Okay, I made this deal, only this time, Gu Jieshuai didn't make it a habit." ”

Gu Qing was very happy, raised the wine cup and saluted Ge Shuhan: "In this way, you and I will make up our minds." ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." Ge Shuhan held up the wine jar and said heroically.

Gu Qing took a sip of wine and said, "Then, let's talk about another thing." ”

"What?"

"You and I are both responsible for this unpleasant trouble, and your responsibility is greater than that of you...... Don't glare, I'm telling the truth, if you don't intercept my warhorse, I won't be guilty. Let's get down to business, the two armies have collected their troops today, and then we must also deal with the aftermath, otherwise the Son of Heaven will condemn him, and you and I will not be able to escape. ”

Ge Shuhan snorted coldly and said, "What do you say you should do?" ”

"Fortunately, the two armies did not really go to war, let alone cause casualties, and there is still room for things to turn around, so you and I will discuss a complete strategy to find a fair reason for you and me to send troops this time......"

Ge Shuhan frowned and said, "What's the reason?" ”

Gu Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "Is there an enemy of the Tang Dynasty near Yumen Pass?" To the south is Tuyuhun of Tibet, which is too powerful to be easily provoked, but in the north, it is complicated, there is the Hui Khanate, which is friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and there are also Turkic remnant tribal forces, we want to find out the reason for the war, so we will find ...... from the north."

After all, Ge Shuhan is a famous general, so he can understand everything, and said in a deep voice: "What does Gu Jieshuai mean by making a fuss about the remnants of the Turkic tribes?" ”

"The duty of the Hexi Jiedu envoy is to resist Tibet in the south and reject the Turks in the north, and the festival marshal said that he got the information, and the remnants of the Turkic tribes in the north invaded the territory, because he was not sure whether the information was accurate, so he wrote a secret letter to invite the Anxi Jiedu envoy to hunt outside the Yumen Pass, and sent troops to seek opportunities to go north to annihilate the Turkic tribes......

Ge Shuhan suddenly understood: "The two major jiedu make the combined army march north and cut off the remnants of the Turkic tribes, it is indeed a legitimate reason, the two armies will hunt outside the Yumen Pass, and the location is also suitable......"

Gu Qing said again: "Of course, what should not be concealed cannot be concealed, after all, you and I have a prison army sent by His Majesty in the two major festivals of the embassy, and it is impossible for the supervisor army to lie to Your Majesty, let's say that when the two armies met, there was a misunderstanding between the generals of the two sides, which caused a certain skirmish, fortunately, you and I did not fight, just a little friction, and a few words of explanation can be revealed, the important thing is that you and I should have a unified caliber, and pass it to Your Majesty, and the matter will be made small......

Ge Shuhan nodded and said slowly: "What Gu Jieshuai said is not unreasonable......

Gu Qing added: "Let's add another insurance to ourselves...... You and I have a very good relationship with the right minister Yang Guozhong, if you send someone back to Chang'an to give Yang Xiang a lot of money, so even if Your Majesty wants to punish you and me, Yang Guozhong will intercede for you and me in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty is now extremely fond of Yang Guozhong, with his plea, things will not be troubled, and this conflict can be eliminated silently. ”

Ge Shuhan suddenly changed from hesitation to agreement, and the spring breeze between his eyebrows froze, and gradually stretched.

"Gu Jieshuai, I think you look like a bad person......" Ge Shuhan glanced at him and said.

Gu Qing smiled: "Brother Shu Jieshuai means to agree, or to promise?" ”

Ge Shuhan is extremely reluctant to do such a deceptive thing, he is a frank and upright man, but today in order to save his future, he has to collude with this guy in front of him, who is by no means good.

Obviously, it was Gu Qing who took the lead, and it was Gu Qing who almost gave the order to attack, why did he drag him to carry this pot in the end?

Goshuhan still hasn't figured out the logic of this, but ...... No matter whose pot it is, you have to carry it if you don't carry it today.

"Promise!" Ge Shuhan said angrily: "This villain's behavior, only this once, will not be an example!" ”

"As long as the marshal doesn't steal my horse, there will definitely be no next time." Gu Qing smiled and said: "I hit it off at first sight, but my brother also has to settle the account, how about you and I share half of the heavy money given to Yang Xiang?" ”

Ge Shuhan was furious: "My Hexi army is about to beg for food, where is the money?" No! No! ”

After speaking, Ge Shuhan got up and quickly brushed his sleeves away.

Gu Qing was stunned for a long time, and finally shouted at his back unwillingly: "This time, I will help the festival marshal to put it on, and the festival commander will return me another day!" ”

"Jie Shuai, how about writing an IOU?"

Ge Shuhan walked faster and faster, as if he didn't hear.

Gu Qing sighed in disappointment and muttered, "There seems to be something wrong with this person's character......"

…………

Chang'an City.

It's autumn, every September, Li Longji has to take Yang Guifei out of the palace to patrol the luck, enter the Huaqing Palace in Lishan to avoid the cold, and wait until March next spring to return to Chang'an, this year is no exception, just after the Double Ninth Festival, Li Longji can't wait to come to the Huaqing Palace.

Gao Lishi stood outside the begonia soup gate of Huaqing Palace, quietly waiting for Li Longji and Yang Guifei to finish playing in the water.

The bursts of laughter from the begonia soup made this bleak early autumn a little more springy, Gao Lishi was a eunuch, and he only smiled faintly when he heard the movement.

There was a sound of broken footsteps under the porch in the distance, and Yang Guozhong walked slowly with a calm official step.

After all, the Son of Heaven is the center of power in the whole world, and where the Son of Heaven is, the government will be there, so the Son of Heaven must be accompanied by courtiers to deal with the government at any time.

Yang Guozhong also followed Li Longji to Huaqing Palace to escape the cold this year.

said that it was to avoid the cold, Yang Guozhong was still extremely busy every day, so busy that he rarely went out of the door, and today he finally had leisure, so he went out to see the Son of Heaven, whether there was something serious or not, patting the ass in front of the Son of Heaven was also a serious matter.

Seeing Yang Guozhong coming from afar, Gao Lishi hurriedly took a few steps forward and politely stopped Yang Guozhong.

The Son of Heaven and the concubine were bathing and playing in the water, Yang Guozhong was a foreign minister, not a eunuch, and some movements made him hear it, but it was not very elegant.

Yang Guozhong is also an interesting person, standing far away under the corridor and chatting with Gao Lishi, the two chatted very tacitly while waiting for the Son of Heaven and the concubine to come out.

"Yang Xiang has worked hard in state affairs, and the weather is cold, but you have to take care of yourself." Colliers laughed.

Yang Guozhong also smiled: "There is General Lao Gao's troubles, since he eats the king, he has to worry about the king, and the hard work is nothing." ”

"Yang Xiang came to see His Majesty today, has something to do?" Gao Lishi turned his head to look at the closed door of begonia soup, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and Concubine Taizhen have just taken a bath, I'm afraid Yang Xiang will have to wait a little longer." ”

Yang Guozhong sighed and said, "It's not too important, it's just that there is something that is not normal, and I want to ask Your Majesty what he means...... Speaking of Fan Yang's festival envoy, it is becoming more and more disagreeable, yesterday I received his recital, asking the imperial court to allocate money, food and weapons, the number is three times as much as in previous years, heh, An Jieshuai is deceiving me just took office as the right minister, I don't know if it was a rule in previous years? ”
