Liang Li Qing opened his eyes, and a quilt had been added to his body, and the room he built for himself was very quiet when he saw the wild goose getting up at night, and he could hear the sound of Li Jingyan's even breathing from the back room, and she was sleeping soundly, but Li Qing had a door in his heart, and he was clothed, and he tiptoed out and gently closed the door, for fear of waking up her sweet dream.

There was no one in the yard, there was already movement in the kitchen, and there were guys getting up to cook, the air was fresh and cold, and the stars were still blinking tirelessly in the night sky, Li Qing stretched his waist, and his heart was full of ease and pleasure.

The sky slowly brightened, the inn lobby was crowded with soldiers for breakfast, Li Qing and a few officers sat at a table, tasting a bowl of thick mutton soup with taste, although in later movies, I saw a lot of how the commander and the soldiers fought once, once or twice, but not every day, otherwise it would lose its prestige, and the army talked about the strict hierarchy, and the way to lead the army was to make the mountain fall down.

Although nearly three hundred people were huddled together, the living room was very quiet, there was no noise, no talking, everyone was silently eating the food in front of them, when there was a sound of horses' hooves at the door, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and Gao Shi's anxious and frustrated face appeared at the door

Gao Shi was the pioneer sent by Li Qing to probe Gao Xianzhi's tone first. He has traveled to the Western Regions. I had a one-sided relationship with Gao Xianzhi. I want to cast into his account. Although they are all surnamed Gao, Gao Xianzhi is on behalf of Li Qing and &1t; and walked away. Dropped a heavy sentence: Please go back and tell Li Dudu. Since he has taken a fancy to my soldiers. Just tell the emperor. You don't have to come looking for it

Li Qing took Gao Shi to his room, personally poured Gao Shi a cup of tea, handed it to him and said with a smile: You mean that Gao Xianzhi refuses to see me

Gao Shi covered the teacup with both hands, let the cold hands feel the hot cup, and sucked the tea carefully, and then said slowly: I went to the Marshal's Mansion yesterday morning, and handed over the name card first, and he immediately met me, but when he heard that the governor did not bring the Anxi army, he immediately turned his face.

Speaking of this, he sighed again, Dudu, it seems that the emperor has given him an order, but he is unwilling

Gao Xianzhi s expectations the anxi army was only 24,000 people in total, and he lent himself 3,000 people at once, and it was his jīng rui was borrowed by liu bei jingzhou then would sun quan still be happy

Li Qing smiled indifferently and asked: What about the knife, where is he, why didn't he come to see me.

He has no shame to see that you have already returned to Shazhou first.

Li Qing smiled slightly: What is salt and no salt, when I am a cook?

He stood up and ordered his own soldiers to prepare horses, Gao Shi was surprised and persuaded: Du Du, he has already said that, according to my opinion, since the emperor has a will, forgive him, he does not dare not disobey, anyway, the Du Du has already come, and the posture of reconciliation is also put on a posture of reconciliation, it is better to repair a letter first, if he is willing to see it, he will naturally send someone to ask if he is not seen. Let's also go back to Shazhou Province to see people's faces.

Li Qing shook his head lightly, if it was just an apology, your suggestion would be good, but I still want to ask Gao Xianzhi again to borrow a thousand troops, so I have to go and see his face.

He strode to the door of the inn, and there were already his own soldiers preparing their horses, Li Qing asked the way, turned over his horse, and galloped straight towards Gao Xianzhi's official office under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers.

Gao Xianzhi's official office is in the north of Qiuzi City, and the streets can be reached by a tea day, and the lively wine shops and restaurants are closed in the evening, while the various shops are next to each other, and a jewelry store is full of pearl carpet shops; a gem shop opened by a dark-skinned Tianzhu person and a real wax person; But there are also silk, porcelain, and tea from the Central Plains, and the goods in the shops are all varied.

At this time, there was a big ** behind him, and I heard someone shouting: flash road, emergency military situation, passers-by stumbled and hid to the side, only to see six horses, the momentum was like thunder, the rough sound hit the ground, and the wind was rushing to this side, and immediately three soldiers were carrying letter bags, desperately beating the war horses, and the eyes of the people and horses were blood-red like crazy, this is eight hundred miles plus the urgent letter is late one

Li Qing hurriedly pulled the reins to the side, and six horses galloped past him, and the wind brought up made his face hurt, but he was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that the war in Tibet had started, his heart was suspicious, and he drew his horse and chased in the direction where the messenger disappeared.

If there are any historical celebrities in the two peninsula countries in the northeast, except for Li Sunsin, it is Gao Xianzhi, but Gao Xianzhi has long been a native of the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Xianzhi, the descendant of the Goguryeo royal family, Tang Gaozong Zongzhang, the first year of the Tang Dynasty, destroyed Goguryeo, moved the Goguryeo royal family into the Central Plains, Gao Xianzhi's grandfather was also moved to Chang'an, when he was twenty years old, he was taught a guerrilla general by his father, and he has been serving in the Western Regions, and he has been favored by Meng Chaling, the protector of Anxi Dadu

Real power at this time.

In the factional struggle of the Tang Dynasty, he was classified as Tàizi Dǎng because of his husband Meng Chaling, but in fact, he protected the crown prince Li Heng until even Wei Jian, the core figure of Tài Zi Dǎng, privately admitted that Gao Xianzhi was not actually the prince's person. Gao Xianzhi himself is like a mirror in his heart, the military power of all dynasties and dynasties is always in his hands, and he is resolutely loyal to the emperor, and his career will be smooth.

At this moment, the lord of Anxi was lightly brushing his long beard, leaning on the chair, reading the urgent military information sent by Chang'an, Tubo Zanpuchi, added 20,000 troops to Shibao City, and sent his nephew Tuguhun King to lead 20,000 troops into the Jiuqu area, from the side to support Shibao City, and the Tang Dynasty Longyou Jiedu Huangfu Weiming also sent out to attack Shibao City, and the Longyou Battle of Tang Tujian has begun.

Li Longji ordered the Hexi Jiedu Prefecture and the Anxi Jiedu Prefecture to note: With the four towns of Anxi as the main body, the military government of the Anxi Prefecture is smaller than the jurisdiction of the Anxi Prefecture and the military government is on strict alert to prevent the Tubo two-front battle.

Gao Xianzhi gently folded the general's newspaper and put it on the table, his eyes showed a trace of worry, he had heard Wang Zhongsi say that the stone castle city is dangerous, it can be said that it is a husband and a man, ten thousand people can resist the siege of ten thousand people, since the stone castle city is so simple, it will inevitably attack the Longyou region, Huangfu Weiming is a little anxious, lure the enemy deep into Longyou, and then close the door and fight the dog, why not, but it is really unwise to go to the long point of the attack, even if he wants to besiege the city and send reinforcements, but the enemy and I are evenly matched, one is not properly deployed, and it is very likely to be attacked inside and outside.

Take care of your own business

Gao Xianzhi sighed, his thoughts returned to the defense of Anxi, if Tubo attacked Anxi, it must first take Boxian Town and Shicheng Town, he picked up the pen and wrote down the words Boxian and Shicheng on the paper, and wrote down the three words Feng Changqing casually with a deep groan, these two military towns must focus on defense, and the leader of the army will be Feng Changqing, who is familiar with the situation of the two towns, but the soldiers seem to be unable to deploy, thinking of this, Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, if Li Siye was in the middle of him, he was the deputy general, and the front army of 3,000 of the most jīng sharp could hold the two towns, but now this best plan is gone.

The soldiers and generals were all borrowed by Li Qing, the governor of Shazhou, and it was a big crime to transfer troops across the region without permission, if it weren't for the emperor's henchman eunuch Bian Lingcheng to intercede, if it wasn't for the eradication of those damn horse bandits, if it weren't for the strange attrition of the Doulu army, he would never borrow troops, he thought that it would be at most a month. The sound was broken by him.

At this time, there was a report from the soldiers at the door: Li Qing, the governor of Shazhou, was out asking to see the marshal

He dared to come to see me

Gao Xianzhi Huo Di stood up and waved his hand vigorously and scolded: I don't see

But the pro-soldier was just about to leave, and the anger on Gao Xianzhi's face had already retracted slightly, and he stopped the pro-soldier and said: Take him to the small guest hall and entertain him with good tea, tell him that I am entertaining guests, and ask him to wait.

In the small guest hall, Li Qingzheng looked at Gao Xianzhi's official residence with his hands behind his back, his official residence was not luxurious, but the workmanship and materials of the house were very exquisite, and the same as his own mansion, it was also made of good bluestone

The layout in the small guest hall is also simple and elegant, among which there is a large case of pear marble, only a horizontal knife is placed upright, the scabbard made of shark skin has been yellow, it seems that there are some years, next to it are two square and wide chairs, there are a few chairs next to the chair, there are a small chairs dedicated to teacups, and behind each of them is a large celadon vase, which is full of autumn chrysanthemums that have not yet bloomed, and then down is two slips, sixteen pieces of Nanmu make three friends, etc., and the horizontal knife matches, quite a little murderous sense of autumn.

Li Qing waited for a long time, but he didn't see Gao Xianzhi come out, and he also didn't have water after water, until this cup of tea was lighter than clear water, and he saw a person appear at the door, only to see that he was about fifty years old, not tall, but very well-proportioned, his waist was straight, and he walked like a cat, and then looked at the smooth skin on his face, without a trace of wrinkles, a wisp of black beard, chic and elegant, and his eyes were grim and calm, this is Gao Xianzhi, the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, he was a famous beautiful man when he was young, but now he is older, but he has added a bit of mature charm.

He has been here for a long time, and he has been observing Li Qing for half an hour, but he is still not in a hurry, not boring, leisurely and calm, although he is young, but this cultivation kung fu is very good, which makes Gao Xianzhi secretly admire.

Stepping into the gate, Gao Xianzhi said with a smile: It is inconvenient for Li Dudu to wait for a long time.

Gao Xianzhi's official position is the deputy capital protection rank, although it is from the third rank, but he was also named the general of the town army, this is a loose official from the second rank, plus his real power in Anxi, regardless of age, seniority

High-ranking officials, he is Li Qing's old-timer, Li Qing did not dare to slack off, and stepped forward with a military salute, Shazhou, Li Qing saw Gao Dashuai

Gao Xianzhi smiled slightly, accepted him, and waved his hand, General Li invited him to take a seat

A soldier served tea to the two of them again, Gao Xianzhi picked up the teacup, blew it, and slowly sucked it, and then said lightly: Li Dudu is here, but he is here to return my son-in-law

Li Qing shook his head and said apologetically: Li Qing went to Shazhou not long after he took office, but now most of the Doulu army in Shazhou was taken by the Huangfu Jiedu envoy to prepare for the war, and Shazhou has almost become undefended, coupled with the rampant horse bandits, Li Qing had no choice but to borrow troops from the marshal, but as soon as the troops arrived, the Tubo sneak attack arrived, thanks to Anxi Erlang's courage and good fighting, he barely repelled the Tubo, but the Tubo people may come again at any time, and it is too late to recruit a new army, so he asked His Majesty to temporarily leave this part of the Anxi army in Shazhou, Li Qing was also forced to come to Anxi to ask the marshal to plead guilty.

Li Qing's words were already expected by Gao Xianzhi, but Li Longji had already ordered the transfer of troops, he couldn't say that the Anxi army was his private army, right, Gao Shi, he could put on a face and drive out of the mansion, but he didn't dare to say that he was a rising star in the Tài Zi Dǎng, so young for the sake of the three products, and the main thing was that the emperor rewarded a total of four people from the last time, Li Qing, as a lower governor, was also among them, which had to make him think twice about the mystery in the middle.

Moreover, Li Qingyou fully defended Tubo, which made him even more speechless, if Tubo occupied Shazhou, it would be equivalent to cutting off the connection between Anxi and the Central Plains, Gao Xianzhi was a smart person, since the wood was already in the boat, there was no need to blame the people who cut down the trees.

Shazhou nominally belongs to Hexi Jiedu Prefecture, but in fact it is the gateway to Anxi, just like the later generations of Russia, it is a European state, but most of it is in Asia, Shazhou is the same, its military and political center is in the northernmost Dunhuang of the Hexi Corridor, but its western border has bordered Yanqi Town, it is southwest, and even the end of the city is also included, if Gao Xianzhi and Li Qing once they have a bad relationship, it is equivalent to Gao Xianzhi's throat, Li Qing can choke Gao Xianzhi's throat at any time, he also knows this, so he came to Qiuzi with confidence to negotiate with Gao Xianzhi.

Since the imperial court has issued an order to transfer troops, Li Dudu accepted my Anxi army, so why bother to travel thousands of miles to Anxi to explain to me.

Li Qing saw that his smile was dry, and he knew that he was unwilling in his heart, so he got up and solemnly bowed to Gao Xianzhi and said: Li Qing came to meet the marshal, first, to apologize to the marshal, and secondly, he wanted to come to ask the marshal for advice on the way to use troops

Gao Xianzhi was silent for a long time, and said slowly: That iron-bladed Xi Nuoluo is also a generation of famous generals, although he is stronger than defending the city, but Li Dudu can win less and defeat more, he can also be regarded as remarkable, especially taking the initiative to resist the enemy abroad, it can be seen that Li Dudu is not bound by the rules, and he should be like this as a general.

But then again, Li Dudu did win by luck, and commanding in battle without genius is to rely on one battle after another to accumulate experience, but strategy requires a few geniuses, I have a sentence to give Li Dudu, which is my personal opinion.

Li Qing said: "Dashuai, please talk about Li Qing's ears.

Gao Xianzhi smiled slightly, stroked his long beard lightly, and said slowly: Seven points yīn conspiracy, three points of yang conspiracy, alternate use of ghosts and gods.

Speaking of which, Gao Xianzhi took out a copy of the military information from his bosom and handed it to Li Qingdao: Originally, I wanted to keep Li Dudu to stay in Qiuzi for a few more years, but the war in Longyou has started, and it is estimated that the urgent report of the imperial court has also arrived in Shazhou, so I will not keep Li Dudu.

This is the eight-hundred-mile express I saw on the road just now, and after hesitating, Li Qing said: I also know that the Anxi army is not strong, and it is really difficult to speak, but the war in Tangbo has started, and it is impossible for me to watch from the sidelines, so I want to ask the marshal again, borrowing a thousand bowmen is considered my personal inheritance of the marshal's favor, and I will definitely return it after the battle of Tubo this time

private

Gao Xianzhi's eyes slowly narrowed into a slit, Li Qing's meaning, of course he understood, this was different from the previous time, it was a transaction between the two of them, Li Siye said that he cherished his soldiers as his life, that was only from the perspective of the public, from his own point of view, but Li Qing knew that Gao Xianzhi was also a veteran of officialdom for a long time, as long as there was an exchange of interests, how could he refuse to borrow troops.

Li Qing nodded slowly, yes, I borrowed it in my personal name, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court.

If I don't borrow it, Gao Xianzhi asked silently, he stared at Li Qing tightly, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

Li Qing smiled faintly and pointed to the knife on the table: This knife is no different from ordinary horizontal knives in appearance, and even worse, but I believe that no one dares to underestimate it, precisely because it is placed on the guest hall of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Speaking of this, Li Qing got up and arched his hand to Gao Xianzhi and said with a smile: Thank you for your guidance, and thank you for the good tea of Dashuai, as Dashuai said, the war has started, I have to go back

After saying that, he turned around and left, until when he reached the door, Gao Xianzhi suddenly said: I borrowed the 1,000 soldiers of Li Dudu.
