After resting for three days, Li Qing waved his division westward, the morale of the Tang army after the victory was high, the marching momentum was like a grandeur, only four days to enter the territory of the Shushi country, the mountains in this area are steep, the terrain is complex, the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains has given birth to large and small rivers, rushing out of the deep valley on the reckless plateau, the Hindu Kush Mountain blocked the cold current to the south, and thus formed the diversity of plants, the grass is difficult to grow on the snow-capped mountains, but when you reach the plateau, you can see a large area of dark green coniferous forests everywhere, and then to the deep valley, the climate is warm and humid, and the plants are also lush and green, I don't feel that it's a cold October.

At this time, the scout came back to report that Gao Xianzhi's Western Route Army had not yet arrived in the Shushi country, Li Qing immediately ordered the soldiers to camp and rest, waiting for the order, Li Qing's camp was in a wide valley, the wide riverbed was flowing with a trickle, and hundreds of tents stretched for several miles.

The night is getting deeper, the soldiers who are tired of a day go to bed early, there are only sentries patrolling around, there is a fire light of the dark sentry on the cliff regularly, indicating that there is nothing to do, Li Qing's military tent is located in the middle, and the appearance is no different from other camp tents, but there are a few pro-soldiers standing in front of the tent, indicating that the people in the tent are special, and there is silence in the camp at this moment, but there is still a light floating in this tent.

In the account, Li Qing straightened his waist and wrote in front of the case, the so-called table case is just two flat stones stacked on top of each other, Li Qing wrote a letter to his family, and he has accumulated more than a dozen letters in his box, which cannot be sent, but he is just expressing his thoughts about his distant relatives in the letter.

At this moment, he was thinking about his son's name, and before he left Beijing, Li Longji half-jokingly gave him the name 'Zhuo, Zhuo is clumsy, and the implication is extraordinary. He Li Qing is too 'sensitive, Zhuo Zhuo is Zhuo! If he didn't give Li Longji face, he wouldn't give himself face, Li Qing smiled slightly, and wrote down at the top of the letter, 'Zhuo, word, fold the letter, he carefully put it in the cage, maybe when he returned to China, his wife had already arrived in Shazhou.

"Who?" Outside, there was a low shout of pro-soldiers.

"It's me, I have something important to find the governor!" This is Duan Xiushi's voice. This Jinshi soldier of the same age as himself must have some kind of 'high opinion'.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Let him in!" ”

The curtain was raised. Duan Xiushi strode in and could see it. He also came to toss and turn for something and couldn't sleep, he walked up to Li Qing and hugged his fists and saluted: "The last general will see the governor." ”

"What? After getting promoted, you can't sleep? ”

Li Qingwan smiled, pointed to a square stone next to him and said, "Sit down!" Come to me so late, what's the matter? ”

Duan Xiushi sat down, he glanced back at the outside of the tent, and said in a low voice: "Since the governor has the heart to take Xiao Bojin." Why don't you take down the master in one go, take this great achievement alone, and let the court see that the governor is fully capable of replacing the handsome. ”

This idea is not brilliant, and today even Li Fei Yuanli is puzzled by him stopping and giving up a great achievement in vain. Thinking that Duan Xiushi is a scholar of the Ming Classics, his knowledge should not be comparable to that of Li Fei Yuanli, Li Qing knows that he still has something to say. He laughed and said nothing, waiting for him to continue.

Sure enough, Duan Xiushi saw that Li Qing did not pretend to be hypocritical and reprimanded himself, and his confidence in his heart increased greatly, and he continued: "In the past, Han Gaozu and Xiang Yu made an appointment, and the one who was in Guanzhong was the king first, but the ancestor did not want to, just because the difference in strength between them was too great, and it was just forbearance for a while, but today it is different, the governor was originally an important minister of the imperial court, if he moved to Anxi to the left, it would be a long history at most, and he would never be the governor of Shazhou again, let alone the East Route Army, which shows the emperor's trust in the governor, and then look at Gao Shuai in Tianbao for six years, there will be a supervising army, In the past two years, he has become more and more arrogant, and even the 'mountain king' sent to him by the countries of the Western Regions is also laughing and accepting it, will the court not know? Could it be that the emperor will not be jealous? Therefore, his subordinates boldly speculated that the real purpose of the emperor's general Governor to resend the Western Regions was to replace the position of Gao Shuai one day, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to let the emperor see the governor's talent? ”

Duan Xiushi finished speaking in one breath, his face was swollen and red, he looked at this young commander, his eyes were full of hope and passion, maybe they were the same age, their hearts were more likely to resonate; may be the same age, in his eyes, Li Qing is not only the coach, but also his friend and brother.

Li Qing was silent, there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, he felt Duan Xiu's sincere feelings, in the sea of treacherous winds and waves, in the officialdom of Eryu and me, this sincerity he had not encountered for a long, long time.

But years of officialdom have smoothed out his edges and corners, and his feelings are no longer easily exposed, he retracted his gaze, stood up and gently patted Duan Xiushi's shoulder, and only smiled faintly.

Duan Xiushi's suggestion is indeed feasible from the immediate point of view, Li Longji originally ordered him to be the commander of the Western Route Army, he defeated the main force of the Shu Division Army in Xiaobojin, and he could completely use the excuse of pursuing the poor Kou to level the Shu Division Country in one fell swoop, Gao Xianzhi had nothing to say, but Li Qing was planning the overall situation, and it was by no means a one-day struggle for merit.

To deal with officialdom opponents, if you blindly compete and be competitive, trying to be quick for a while and be brave, you are falling behind, such as Yang Guozhong when he first entered the Tao, and only slowly woke up after suffering a big loss.

And the barriers are clear, black and white, do things with black hands, leave no room for everything, such means are only considered to be in the middle, such as Dali Temple Qing Jiwen and Yu Shi Cheng Wang Jue, and they are enemies, there is no one who does not hate them.

The really clever officialdom means are always gentle and drizzly, deployed unconsciously, interlocking, so that once the opponent steps in, he is powerless to get rid of it, and he does not need to come forward himself, the means is to borrow a knife to kill people and invite the king into the urn; The steps are that you can advance or retreat, advance is not only to put the other party to death, but also to turn enemies into friends, this is like the relationship between Li Linfu and Li Qing, after fighting for so many years, but they have never torn their faces, and finally they can shake hands and make peace.

Although Duan Xiushi has a little knowledge, but his realm has fallen to the middle class, and he met Gao Xianzhi Bingge, perhaps this is also the weakness of Duan Xiushi's life in history, too strong, and in the end he also died on this fatal weakness, of course, this is not to belittle his integrity, he is righteous and eternal, but in terms of political effect, he sacrificed in vain.

At this time, Duan Xiushi was thirty-one, and he was enthusiastic. It is the time when he is full of ideals and ambitions, but how can he compare with Li Qing, who was cited by Li Linfu as the biggest rival in his life, in terms of power and means.

Li Qing walked behind Duan Xiushi, and only after a while did he slowly reply to him: "Success, I understand your intentions, and I am also very grateful, but I have a plan in my chest for this matter, things can't be rushed, we have to take it step by step, the key is to grasp the heat, and the layout must be long-term." ”

Speaking of which. Li Qing slowly turned around with his hands behind his back, his head slightly raised. Looking at the dark mountains in the distance, he said proudly, "I might as well tell you frankly." I didn't take Gao Xianzhi in my eyes at all, my goal is still in Chang'an."

￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ˉ

Ten days later, Gao Xianzhi's army pressed the border, and the Shushi Kingdom, which had already lost all its elite in Xiaobojin, was no longer able to resist, and King Bote was not

exposed his upper body and personally went to Gao Xianzhi's tent to plead guilty, and Li Qing, who received the news, immediately ordered the troops to rise. Towards the capital of the Shushi Kingdom.

Like Li Qing, after more than two months of arduous trekking, Gao Xianzhi also became emaciated, as the supreme commander of the Tang army, as a conqueror, Gao Xianzhi accepted the king's plea. He was admitted to the palatial palace of the Emperor of the Emperors, and King Both was immediately removed from the throne without being pardoned. He was reduced to a prisoner and will be taken to Chang'an for questioning.

Although the soldiers occupied the Shushi country without bloodshed, Gao Xianzhi was not happy in his heart, naturally because of his miscalculation, the main force of the Shushi country went to Xiaobojin, and was annihilated by Li Qingquan, this credit is thin, his aura has dimmed a lot, but Li Qing still saved him some face, and waited on the border for ten days, and he had to write down this favor.

At this moment, the Tang Dynasty coach sat on the throne with a gloomy face and listened to Zhao Chongxuan's narration, he wanted to know everything that happened in Xiao Bojin too much, and he wanted to know every detail.

"Are you saying that Li Qing suddenly killed the ground halfway through the bridge crossing the bridge of the Tubo people?"

Zhao Chongxuan entered the Shushi country with Li Qing, and Li Qing, who originally said that he would stay to clean up the mess of Xiaobojin, suddenly appointed his henchmen to garrison the city of Aba, and Zhao Chongxuan, who was deceived, hated and feared, and found Gao Xianzhi to sue as soon as he entered the city, but Gao Xianzhi didn't seem to take this matter very seriously, but carefully inquired about the details of the battle, especially paying attention to the timing chosen by Li Qing, which made Zhao Chongxuan really puzzled.

"Returning to the marshal, it was the Tubo people who crossed the bridge to the middle of the sudden kill, but the last general thought that this move was quite a mistake, if there was a slight mistake, once the Tubo people crossed the vine bridge, the consequences were unimaginable, the marshal, this person was bold and reckless, and he should be impeached to the emperor!"

Gao Xianzhi ignored him, but slowly paced around the palace with his hands behind his back, he was not unconcerned that Li Qing had taken control of Xiao Bojin, on the contrary, he could see that Li Qing was threatening him from this matter.

Because of his importance, he wants to know his opponent, and the best way to do that is to observe from the battle.

According to the logic of ordinary people, if they have arrived at the battlefield in advance, they should cut off the rattan bridge as soon as possible, and will never wait until the Tubo people start to cross the bridge. He knew that Li Qing was by no means a warlike person, otherwise he would not have waited for ten days.

Gao Xianzhi is worthy of being a general of a hundred battles, and he understood Li Qing's intention after only a little thought, this is a kind of psychological deterrence, if the bridge is broken early, the Tubo people will never be reconciled, and will try their best to cross the Suoyi River, and show the strength of the Tang army in front of the enemy, watching hundreds of people fall into the abyss, this psychological shock is enough to make all the Tubo people present frightened.

"That's how it should be!" Gao Xianzhi said to himself, "No wonder Wang Zhongsi has been praising him, and he really has some ability." ”

If you see the big from the small, then Li Qing should be a bold and careful person, and you must not take it lightly, Gao Xianzhi immediately came to a conclusion.

Zhao Chongyu next to him saw Gao Xianzhi's brows stretched, and seemed to have come to a conclusion, he immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Handsome!" The last general is willing to return to the city of Abayue and regain control of Xiao Bojin for the commander. ”

"Take it back?" Gao Xianzhi glanced at him and sneered: "He asked you to leave you at the beginning, but he didn't use his brain to think about it, how to take it now, with a knife or with a gun?" Are you stupid to treat others as fools? ”

Gao Xianzhi sighed, turned back to his own soldiers, and said, "Go!" Hurry up outside the city and escort Li Du to me. ”

The pro-soldier was just about to turn around, but Gao Xianzhi stopped him again, "That's it, I'll go in person!" ”

May is a Scandinavian town; May is the freshness of the Viennese countryside; May is the afternoon when gardenias are in full bloom; However, Lao Gao's May is the season of war drums, autumn wind and autumn rain, which is due to the implementation of the monthly ticket classification award, and the originally distant competition suddenly came to the fore.

Am I hopeful? There is a point, between advance and retreat, but if you don't give it a try, how do you know if you can do it or not, so, old high book friends, in May, please vote for Datang.
