Chapter 9 Vice-Marshal Anxi

Ten days later, a group of 500 cavalry galloped across the Gobi Desert, they rushed to a high post, stationed on the horse and overlooked, the leader was a 35-6-year-old Tang army general, he looked into the distance, the horse whip pointed to the snow-capped Ling Mountain, to the left and right: "One day, I should lead the army over Ling Mountain, step on the nest of the Tuqi Shi people, and rebuild my Tang Dynasty Broken Leaf Military Town." ”

As soon as he urged his horses, he rushed down the hill, and the Tang army followed, and in a moment, they disappeared into the depths of the Gobi.

An hour later, the cavalry team came to the Sulou Fengshu Fort, and the wounded Lifei Yuanli hurriedly led his men out to greet him.

"I don't know if all the soldiers and horses are coming, and I miss the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

The general of the Tang Army glanced at the soldiers, "This time you have killed the enemy meritoriously, each person will be rewarded with twenty yuan, ten acres of Shangtian, and the merit will be recorded once, and the commander Li Fei Yuan will be promoted to the general of Dashicheng Town." ”

Li Fei Yuanli hesitated, he stepped forward and kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for the reward of the soldiers and horses, my subordinates are unwilling to be promoted, and only beg me to join the Modao Army." ”

"Good! I will fulfill you, from now on, you will be the general of the Modao Army. ”

"Thank you all for the soldiers!"

Li Fei Yuanli was overjoyed, entering the Mo Dao Army was his dream for many years, and Li Siye, who joined the army with him, became famous because of Mo Dao, and he was still an unknown military master.

The generals of the Tang army swept from the Tang army in the fort one by one, and finally their eyes fell on the tall Li Qing'an, who had a big bow on his back, and his heroic posture was so conspicuous among the soldiers of the Tang army, so he asked: "Is it you the fire commander who shot forty Tircha Shi people by one person?" ”

Li Qing'an walked out of the garrison, he stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Humble Li Qing'an, see the general." ”

The general looked at him and asked, "I heard your name, where are you from?" ”

"General Hui, he is from Luoyang, the eastern capital."

"Dongdu people!" The general of the Tang Army nodded and said, "Take your bow and arrows and show me, what kind of bow it is, it can actually shoot forty Turks." ”

Li Qingan presented the bow, and the general of the Tang Army pulled it and said with a smile: "It's the same as me, a seven-stone bow, but this is an inferior bow, it can really shoot forty people?" ”

"General Hui, it was not my bow and arrow that shot the Turgis to death, but my courage."

The general looked up to the sky and laughed, "Well said! ”

He stopped laughing, leaned forward slightly, squinted at himself and asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”

"I don't know what I do."

"You don't know?"

The general raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Tell you, I am the deputy protector of Anxi, the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi." ”

"It turns out that you are Gao Xianzhi!"

Li Qingan blurted out, but Li Fei Yuanli was taken aback, how could anyone talk like this, "Qilang, don't be rude!" He rebuked in a low voice.

Gao Xianzhi didn't care, he smiled, turned around and waved to the pro-soldiers, the pro-soldiers raised a big bow, and the general handed the bow to Li Qing'an and said: "This is made by the first good craftsman in the capital, a hundred beasts, you try it, can you pull it away?" ”

Li Qingan took the bow, the two arms competed, and the bow was pulled apart, which was also a seven-stone hard bow, but it was more powerful and felt very comfortable, which was many times stronger than the bow and arrow he bought with five yuan in Bahuan City.

Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but nod when he saw that he could pull out this bow, and sure enough, with a little strength, he picked up a helmet with his sword casually, and said to Li Qing'an: "You go a hundred steps away and shoot this helmet." ”

Jia Chongqian was taken aback by the Bahuan guard next to him, and hurriedly persuaded: "Deputy marshal, don't take such a risk." ”

Gao Xianzhi ignored him, he saw that Li Qing'an didn't move, his face sank, and he snorted and asked him, "Don't you dare?" ”

"If the handsome man is not afraid of death, what am I afraid of?"

Li Qing'an turned the horse's head, ran to a hundred and fifty steps away, drew a long arrow, and aimed at the helmet on Gao Xianzhi's sword, at this moment, Gao Xianzhi threw the helmet to the left, Li Qing'an's arrow also came out of the string, and the arrow went straight to the helmet in the air, and before the helmet landed, an arrow shot through it.

Tang Jun suddenly burst into cheers, "Good archery!" ”

Li Qing'an immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "I am fortunate to be humiliated!" ”

A personal soldier picked up the helmet and presented it to Gao Xianzhi, Gao Xianzhi looked at it, and saw that the words 'Lingshan Blood Arrow' were engraved on the shaft of the arrow, and couldn't help but laugh, "Since you want to make Lingshan Blood Arrow, then I will give you this nickname." ”

"Thank you, handsome."

"A little nickname is nothing."

Gao Xianzhi pointed to the bow and arrow in his hand and smiled: "This pair of bows and arrows belongs to you, from now on, you are the tooth general next to me." ”

The Tang Army in the fort exclaimed, and everyone showed extremely envious eyes, Li Qingan turned out to be a handsome personal soldier.

Li Qingan hugged his fists and saluted, "Xie Dashuai is promoted, I want to bring a few subordinates with me, I don't know if Dashuai can be gracious?" ”

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, the brigade rose up and sailed towards the south.

........

"Boss, are we really going to Qiuzi City?" On the way, He Yanming, who was excited, asked in a low voice, he was lucky that he was also taken by Li Qingan.

"What, don't you want to go? If you don't want to go, you can go back. Li Qingan said with a smile.

"Nope! No! No! Why don't I want to go, I've had enough of that hellish place in the fort. ”

"Where's Old Han?" Li Qingan turned back and asked Han Jinping again.

Han Jinping sighed, "Of course I'm very happy, if I stay in the fort, sooner or later I will die at the hands of the Turgish." ”

"You say they're going to get revenge?"

Han Jinping nodded, "The Turks have a strong sense of vengeance, even if they are not targeting the fort, they will often enter and invade, and Lingshan will not be at peace." ”

"Don't worry! Gao Shuai has already arranged it. ”

A young Hu officer appeared next to him, he was tall, fair-skinned, handsome, and strong, as if he was full of huge energy that had not yet been released, and a pair of blue eyes flashed with a strange light.

His smile was very bright, making people feel close, "Gao Shuai has already arranged, the strength of the fort will be increased to one hundred, strengthen the fortifications, and the Great Rock City will also garrison five hundred people, ensuring that the Turgish people will not return." ”

Li Qingan had a good impression of him, so he smiled and said: "In this way, I am relieved, may I ask the name of Brother Tai?" ”

"In Xia Bai Yuanguang, he was originally the prince of Qiuzi, and now he is a member of the Tang Army."

"Fortunately! Please take care of Brother Bai in the future. ”

"General Lee....."

"Brother Bai might as well call me Shichiro."

Bai Yuanguang nodded and smiled: "Then I'm not welcome, Qilang, I have admired your archery skills, and it is really clever, an arrow piercing the head one hundred and fifty steps away, it can be called my first arrow in Anxi, but I don't know how Qilangwen is?" ”

Li Qingan was ashamed for a while, he hadn't even read the Analects, how could he talk about the text.

"I'm sorry, but I'm only literate, and I don't have any ink on my chest."

Bai Yuanguang raised his head and laughed, laughing so much that Li Qingan's face was red, and he couldn't help but be a little angry: "People who are in the army, what do you want so many literary talents?" ”

Bai Yuanguang stopped laughing and said apologetically: "Qilang doesn't know, our Anxi Army's writing does not refer to reading and writing, but to polo, I want to ask Qilang how well he plays?" ”

Li Qing'an's heart was slightly lowered, not to let him write poems, he smiled and said: "It's embarrassing to say, I've never played polo." ”

Bai Yuanguang was surprised in his heart, he had never played polo, which was incredible, but his face did not show it, and he smiled happily: "Qilang's clever archery skills actually don't play polo, it's just a tyrannical thing, if Qilang is willing, we can learn polo skills together, how about it?" ”

"Then I can't ask for it, as long as Brother Bai doesn't dislike me and don't understand."

Bai Yuanguang laughed, urged the horse to the front, and heard him smile at the other person from a distance: "Chenggong, he agreed." ”

At this time, He Yanming next to him whispered to Li Qingan: "This Bai Yuanguang is the first polo master in Anxi, he led the Anxi team to Chang'an to compete last year and won the third place in Datang, I guess he is jealous of your excellent archery, so he wants to humiliate you in polo." ”

"Xiaohe, Hugh is talking nonsense!"

Han Jinping reprimanded on the side: "The men in Anxi are all upright, how can there be a small belly like you." ”

Li Qingan smiled and said nothing, playing polo, he really wanted to give it a try.
