Seeing the smiles of Gao Xianzhi and the others, Li Zaixing knew that his strategy of attacking and defending had succeeded. Whether it is Gao Xianzhi or Feng Changqing, like most Tang people, they are all proud people. Proud people have a common problem, that is, they appreciate the capable and despise the weak and incompetent. If he begs Gao Xianzhi for mercy, Gao Xianzhi will only look down on him and will not reuse him. But if he has real talent and real learning, Gao Xianzhi will love him, at least he won't ruin him easily, even if he may become his opponent in the future.

A proud person will not attack a potential adversary for the sake of his own long-term well-being, even if that person may become an enemy. Having an evenly matched opponent is something that is unattainable for them.

This is the pride of Gao Xianzhi and others, and it is also the pride of the Tang people.

In addition to going-for-tat and showing his most proud skills, Li Zaixing also intentionally or unintentionally put a bait: a war horse.

The Don army advocated the offensive, even in the face of nomads. The Tang Army's tactics of charging into battle with infantry and pursuing with cavalry are typical offensive formations. The one who best represents this character is the first Heavenly Khan - Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Tang God of War Li Jing. And to fight against the nation on horseback, the war horse is an indispensable strategic resource.

It can be said that the achievements of the Tang army are closely related to the number of war horses, and they rise and fall together. In recent years, the reason why the Tang army has been able to achieve brilliant results and revitalize the military prestige of the Tang Dynasty is inseparable from Tang Xuanzong's emphasis on horse politics. Now the number of war horses in the Tang Dynasty is the highest in history, reaching more than 400,000, and the Tang army has also regained its strength and pointed at Anxi.

But overall, Datang is still short of horses, and a large number of war horses are purchased every year. The internal distribution is uneven, the war zones with the most war horses in Datang are Shuofang, Hexi and Fanyang, Shuofang Jiedu is An Sishun, Fanyang Jiedu history is An Lushan, and Anxi's war horses are not abundant.

War horses have always been the most desired trophies of the Tang army. As soon as he heard that the Great Cannibal had the best war horses, if Gao Xianzhi, who was eager to make a contribution, was not moved, he would not be Gao Xianzhi. If Feng Changqing, Li Siye and other generals were not moved, they would not be Tang Army.

As for whether the enemy is strong or not, it is not in their consideration. Attaching importance to the opponent is not the same as fearing the opponent. In the eyes of the Tang Army, looking at the world, no enemy is invincible. For them, the bait of the war horse is much stronger than the danger of the enemy.

Sure enough, Gao Xianzhi and the others were tempted. Of course, if you want to capture these war horses, you must first defeat the Great Food, and to defeat the Great Food, of course, you must first understand their details, and still take it as before, it is not pride, but numbness.

So, who is more suitable than Li Zaixing to find out the news of the people of the big food? No.

At this point, even if Gao Xianzhi had an opinion on Li Zaixing, he would put his personal enmity aside and wait until he defeated Da Shi. Otherwise, he will not only waste his own opportunity, but also ruin the opportunity of others to make meritorious contributions. Gao Xianzhi is not stupid enough to be this point.

In fact, he is not only not stupid, but also shrewd.

Gao Xianzhi changed his face and inquired in detail about the situation of Da Shi, not only agreeing to Li Zaixing's plan to go to the Hezhong region, but also promising to give him an upright identity: Scout Guo Yi.

Guo Yi originally referred to Guo Yidu, the deputy general of the Zhichong Mansion, who was a military position with a high rank from the fifth grade. Now that the government military system is corrupted, Guo Yi is only left with a false name. Gao Xianzhi gave him the identity of Guo Yi, but he did not arrange subordinates for him, and he still only had Pei Xuanqing and a dozen other rangers brought from Chang'an. If there is a benefit, it is that he can receive a ration in Anxi.

Even this is theoretical, he has to go to the river to collect intelligence, and he can't run back to Qiuzi halfway to get his salary.

So, what really works is an official identity.

However, Li Zaixing didn't expect Gao Xianzhi to give him anything, he had an identity and officially accepted him on behalf of the Anxi Army, and he was already very satisfied.

After a long conversation, he returned to the inn. Feng Changqing arranged a place for him to live, but he refused. He wouldn't stay in Qiuzi for long, so why bother to buy a place to live.

After returning to the inn, Li Zaixing immediately asked Ermadi to go to the market to buy some good wine. Most of the businessmen on the Silk Road were Rites, and the best wine was usually sold by Rites, so it was most appropriate for El Medi to buy it.

Al Maidi took Ah Duan with him, and after a short time, he bought a few bottles of good wine and some exquisite food. When Pei Xuanqing and the others saw it, they were immediately salivating, and they just wanted to stretch out their wolf claws, but they were beaten down by Li Zaixing.

"Da Lang, don't be stingy." Pei Xuanqing shouted: "My own brothers, what else do you share with each other?" ”

Li Zaixing said with a smile: "It's not stingy, there are distinguished guests coming to the door, these are hospitality, they are all eaten and drunk by you, I take the well water to entertain the guests?" ”

"Guests? Who will it be? Pei Xuanqing's eyes rolled: "When did you also have an acquaintance in Qiuzi?" ”

"I ran into it by accident." Li Zaixing didn't explain much, pushed Pei Xuanqing and the others out of the door, and stood alone in the room.

In the evening, a tall figure appeared in the guest house.

Li Siye came, dressed in regular clothes, and only brought a personal guard.

Seeing the giant bear-like Li Siye, Pei Xuanqing, Zhang Wan and others gasped and didn't say anything for a long time. Li Siye was used to this kind of gaze, and he didn't care, so he pushed open Li Zaixing's door.

Li Zaixing, who was standing on the pile, raised his eyelids and said lightly: "Sit!" ”

Li Siye didn't sit down, but rolled up his sleeves, and a pair of giant palms came through, so he went to pull Li Zaixing's arm. Li Zaixing was not surprised, turned his palm into a knife, crossed his hands, and slashed left and right twice, shaking Li Siye's palm.

Li Siye's eyes lit up: "Chopping wood? ”

Li Zaixing frowned: "How could the master choose such an ugly name?" ”

"Haha, the master is not an ordinary person, and there are often accidents, not strange."

Li Zaixing pursed his lips: "When he was in Bodhi Temple, he was called Shucao Monk, and when he was in Nanyue, he was called Lazy Monk, when he taught you, what was his name?" ”

Li Siye laughed: "At that time, he was called a supernatural general, didn't he tell you?" ”

"Nope." Li Zaixing laughed helplessly: "If it weren't for the Bodhi Temple, I wouldn't have known that there were still senior brothers." ”

"I didn't know there were any junior brothers." Li Siye shrugged his shoulders, but still refused to take his seat. "Master has been practicing for many years, have you realized something new, junior brother, you have to give me a little meeting gift when we meet for the first time."

"I've never seen such a senior brother, I don't give a meeting gift to my junior brother, but I want a meeting gift for my junior brother."

"Haha, of course I have a gift, but I will give it to you when I get to Shule." Li Siye said with a big grin, rubbing his hands: "Come on, don't be mother-in-law, be refreshed." ”

When competing with Li Siye, Li Zaixing found that Li Siye's knife technique was a bit like the axe technique when the master chopped wood. Before he decided to leave the temple, the master also specially showed him this axe method. He had never practiced, but he was very impressed, and as soon as he saw Li Siye's Mo Dao Technique, he guessed that he might have met an acquaintance.

At the end of the contest, he used his gun as a knife and slashed twice. Although the weapons are different, the power skills are the same, if Li Siye is really a disciple taught by the master, he will definitely come to him.

Sure enough, Li Siye came, but he didn't expect this senior brother to be so shameless and actually ask him for a greeting gift. Li Zaixing is helpless, all the wonderful apprentices taught by the wonderful master are strange apprentices, and if he doesn't show his hands, Li Siye will not let go of him as a junior brother.

In fact, in martial arts, he really didn't learn much from his master, and the things that the master gave him were the Yijin Sutra and the Pulp Washing Sutra. Looking at Li Siye's figure, nine times out of ten, he has practiced the Yijin Sutra, and he has already practiced to the Great Perfection realm, otherwise with his physique, it would be difficult to be so flexible.

But he didn't know if the master didn't pass on Li Siye's marrow washing scripture because he refused to pass it on, or because Li Siye's physique was not suitable for practice and couldn't be passed on. He decided to pass on his Bajiquan experience as a master to Li Siye. With his figure, and the foundation of the Yi Jin Sutra, it is perfect for practicing the eight poles.

"There is a boxing technique, maybe the senior brother will like it."

"Yes, yes." Li Siye was like a child receiving a toy, rubbing his hands excitedly.

……

After passing the eight potentials of the Baji Fist, the two brothers sat down, clinked glasses, and drank them all.

"Senior brother, I'm going back to Shule soon, you go with me, and take care of each other."

After the expedition, Li Siye was appointed by Gao Xianzhi as a special general and stationed in Shule, one of the four towns. This time, I rushed to Qiuci to discuss the war of Shiguo, and I didn't want to fight by mistake, so I had a fight with Li Zaixing, and I was blessed by misfortune and recognized my brother. If they didn't try, they might have worked together for many years, and they might not have known that they had ever been a teacher together.

"I'm going to the river, to Shule, don't you stop by?"

Li Siye smiled weirdly: "Senior brother, don't look at what you said in front of Zhongcheng just now, there are some things that you really don't know." He took a sip of wine: "In the Sui period, the road leading from Anxi to the river was to take Shule and cross the green ridge, which was hundreds of miles closer than the current road to Broken Leaf City. ”

Li Zaixing was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became a little sharp: "Senior brother, Zhongcheng really wants to crusade against Shiguo?" ”

Li Siye smiled, raised his wine glass, and touched Li Zaixing: "Needless to say?" It's all set. ”

Li Zaixing put away his smile: "Is this good?" Shi Guo is an ally, and attacking an ally will make my Datang lose the hearts of the people. What's more......" He paused, a little displeased: "This is still for Zhongcheng's greed for money." ”

Li Siye was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Another scholar is talking nonsense." Senior brother, don't get too close to those scholars, they will say that the righteousness is awe-inspiring on the lips, and the teachings of the saints are not far from the mouth, but in fact they are very hypocritical. When they are desperate, they shrink back, and when they share the benefits, they stretch out their hands faster than anyone else. Greedy for money, is Zhongcheng a greedy person? ”。
