Chapter Twenty-Six: Embarrassment

Li Changguo is now the veritable number one fierce general of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and only he deserves the word bravery.

"Thank you, vice guard!"

Li Changguo thanked him with a gift.

Everyone looked at Li Changguo, full of admiration, and couldn't wait to change positions with him.

What they admire is not the rank of captain, but many of them are generals, and their military rank is higher than Li Changguo's, so it is impossible to admire his military rank, what they admire is that Gao Xianzhi promoted Li Changguo to lieutenant at the city gate.

This shows that Gao Xianzhi is extremely important to Li Changguo, otherwise, he would definitely not be so eager and promoted him to lieutenant at the city gate.

It's a great honor!

Gao Xianzhi's generation of famous generals, the fierce generals under his command are like clouds, and there are fierce generals like Li Siye, no one can have such glory, who can not admire it?

Even Li Siye and Duan Xiushi are also hot.

If you think about it carefully, only Li Changguo can afford this glory, and everyone rejoices for Li Changguo!

"Hmm!"

Gao Xianzhi looked at Li Changguo, the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, turned his head, and said to Li Siye: "Siye, you capture Gesang Suo alive, it is enough to be promoted to general, but this general wants to show the court." After this battle is over, I will return to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and I will play to Your Majesty again. ”

Li Siye was originally a lieutenant, only one step away from the general, and the military exploits of the Tubo general Gesang Suo, who was promoted to general, were already expected by everyone.

Gao Xianzhi is the deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, which is equivalent to the current deputy commander of the military region, and he has the power to appoint and dismiss captains, but he cannot appoint and dismiss generals, which needs to be played by Li Longji.

"Thank you, vice guard!"

Li Siye finally became a daughter-in-law and was promoted from a lieutenant to a general, although it still needs the permission of the imperial court, this is just a procedure, and it will not be allowed.

"Brother Xie!" Li Siye thanked Gao Xianzhi and gave Li Changguo a salute, if it weren't for Li Changguo's concession, he, the general, would definitely have to be at night for a while, and he was grateful to Li Changguo from the bottom of his heart.

"No thanks!"

Li Changguo smiled slightly.

Seeing that the two fierce generals under his command got along so well, Gao Xianzhi was very relieved.

Everyone surrounded Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng into Lianyun Castle, all beaming with joy and everyone happy. However, there is a bad thing, that is, Lianyunbao is dirty and messy, which hinders the view, Bian Lingcheng covered his nose, looked at the cow and horse dung on the ground with disgust, and frowned tightly: "Is this the city?" If it's in Chang'an, even the stables are cleaner than this! ”

"That's all the people of Tibet!"

Gao Xianzhi frowned, rather disdainful.

"Prison army, don't you know, the Tubo people belong to cattle and like to live in a cattle pen!"

Just when everyone didn't know how to speak, Li Changguo teased.

"Whoa!"

This is very interesting, Bian Lingcheng laughed, the male duck was extremely harsh, and pointed at Li Changguo and said: "You are not only brave and invincible in battle, but also very interesting to speak!" ”

"You can't always fight, can you? From time to time, there will be some fun leaves, so that it will be brilliant! Li Changguo responded with a smile.

Gao Xianzhi, Bian Lingcheng, Li Siye, and Duan Xiushi nodded heavily, appreciating these words. A person who is always fighting wars and lacks interest in this life is too boring.

Entering Gesang Suocho's handsome tent, Gao Xianzhi honestly and unceremoniously sat on his throne and began to give orders, the first thing was to count the casualties and spoils.

The Tang army in this battle was a sudden attack, out of Tubo's expectations, like a divine soldier descending from heaven, and then Li Changguo and Li Siye, the two fierce generals opened the way, rushed to the front, the casualties of the Tang army were very small, only more than 40 people were killed in the battle, and only about 300 people were wounded. The result was the total annihilation of more than 1,600 Tibetan defenders here, which was a great victory at a very small cost.

The Tang army was well-trained, strictly disciplined, well-equipped, advanced in tactics, extremely strong in combat, and good at winning big victories at a small cost.

Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan and Su Dingfang's extermination of the Western Turks are all classic examples!

The congregation will be accustomed to it and will not take it for granted, as if this is a matter of course.

"Vice-Protector!"

Duan Xiushi came in with a black face, angry, forcibly suppressed his anger, and reported to Gao Xianzhi: "Found the Big Food Scimitar!" ”

"Big Eater Machete?"

The smile on Gao Xianzhi's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a severe frost, and the whole person was as cold as Xuan Bing, and he stood up violently and said, "Submit it!" ”

Duan Xiu made a move, and several Tang soldiers came in and placed dozens of big food scimitars on the ground.

The meniscus-shaped blade of the big scimitar is covered with patterns, which is extremely smooth and graceful, and the knife is shining, and it is extremely sharp at a glance.

"Isn't this a Damascus knife?" Li Changguo's eyes lit up.

The Damascus knife is a world-famous knife, which enjoys a good reputation in history, and the term "Damascus knife" is the name of Westerners, at that time, there was no such statement, and the Tang Dynasty called it a big food scimitar.

Damascus knives were originally produced in Persia, and after the fall of the Persian Empire for the Great Food (Arab Empire), its production technology fell into the hands of the Great Food, and a large number of Great Food armies were equipped.

The appearance of the big food scimitar here shows that the big food provided military aid to Tubo and used Tubo to contain the Tang Dynasty, which is why Duan Xiushi is particularly angry.

As early as the first year of Tianbao, Tubo and Da Shi formed a coalition to attack Xiao Bolu and defeat the Tang army. The strong attack failed, and Tubo Zampu used the princess to tempt Su to lose, and Su lost and coveted beauty, so he betrayed the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Bolu's betrayal led to the conquest of the Tang army, and it was now known as the southern expedition.

"Abu Muslim, your hand is stretched too far!"

Gao Xianzhi's eyes flickered fiercely, staring at the big scimitar on the ground, roaring word by word, as if an ancient fierce beast was roaring.

Abu Muslim was the Governor of the East of the Great Food Empire, responsible for the affairs of the East. The Eastern Affairs of the Great Food Empire is to deal with China, and the Great Food Empire has always had an illusion that it will enter China and enslave China.

The Silk Road was the main artery of communication between the East and the West, facilitating trade and exchanges between the East and the West. At the same time, it also proclaimed the richness of China, which the West called the "golden country", to the West, and the West was jealous, and many of them wanted to attack China and enslave China.

The first person to act was Alexander the Great.

Alexander's expedition is very famous in history, however, its purpose was to reach China. It is said that at the time of his departure, his teacher Aristotle gave him a map of China. There was a mistake in this map, Alexander's attack was in the wrong direction and hit India.

After Alexander, although there was no shortage of madmen who wanted to enslave China, they could not put it into action, and it was the Great Food Empire that really took action.

The Great Eclipse (Arab Empire) conquered the Middle East as quickly as a whirlwind, entering Central Asia and getting closer to China. As early as the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern governor of the Great Food, Hacha ibn Yusuf, wanted to conquer China, and he told his two generals, Muhammad ibn Qasim and Qudibo ibn Muslim, that whoever set foot on Chinese territory first would be the governor of China.

In the third and fifth years of Kaiyuan, Da Shi invaded the Western Regions in a vain attempt to occupy the four towns of Anxi, but was defeated by the Tang Dynasty.

Although these two crusades failed, the Great Food Empire is a thief!
