At the beginning of December of the ninth year of Tianbao, in a white snow, Li Qingan returned to Beiting, where he had been absent for nearly a year, and when he crossed the Xingxing Gorge on horseback, the endless Gobi Desert appeared in front of him.

His three hundred guards cheered, and they all jumped off their horses and ran through the snow-covered fields.

"We're back!"

Li Qingan also laughed loudly, he grabbed a handful of snow from the branch, pinched it into a snowball, and smashed it at a snow crow on the pine tree from a distance, and a group of snow crows fluttered into the sky.

At this time, Cui Qianyou said with a smile: "This time, the envoy will set the Anxi Festival Embassy Mansion in the North Garden, I'm afraid it will surprise many people!" ”

"What's so surprising about this, my first task is to recover the broken leaves, and the five castles I built last year are the biggest basis for recovering the broken leaves, if I don't focus on the north garden, how can I use these five castles."

Speaking of this, Li Qingan raised his head and exhaled a long breath of white air, and said arrogantly: "Actually, the North Court is only a transition, and in the future, the Anxi Jiedu Embassy will be placed in the broken leaves, and that is the world where I can show my strengths." ”

Cui Qianyou was infected by Li Qing'an's arrogance, and said with emotion: "I also hope to make contributions in the Western Regions and go down in history, this is the career of a man's husband." ”

"Yes!" Li Qingan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Qianyou, in the future, I will let you stand alone, and I will definitely change your history." ”

"Change my history?"

Cui Qianyou didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a long time, and he hurriedly asked in a loud voice: "Envoy, why do you call changing my history?" ”

Li Qing'an had already walked away, and he heard his laughter from a distance, "In other words, even Ge Shuhan will be your defeated subordinate in the future!" ”

Cui Qianyou muttered twice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to understand what Li Qing'an meant, so he hurriedly chased after him, "Envoy, I understand what you mean." ”

．．．．．．．．． A group of people walked for two days, everyone finally came to Yizhou, this morning, there are still thirty miles away from Rouyuan County, there is a river in front, called Liugushui, the river has frozen, far away, only to see nearly 100 tents set up on the other side of the river, surrounded by a camp fence, forming a small camp, at this time, several cavalry rushed over, ran to Li Qing'an and arched his hand: "General Li, my marshal is in the front camp tent, and General Li has to go through the handover procedures." ”

"Good! I'll go. ”

Li Qingan urged the war horse and ran towards the camp tent in front.

In the camp tent, Gao Xianzhi was wearing armor, sitting in front of the desk and writing his work report, about to leave Anxi, who he had fought for decades, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, but he was lucky, he was defeated in Tocharo, lost the broken leaves, and finally the court did not punish him, but transferred him to Jiannan to clean up the mess.

While Gao Xianzhi was sad about his defeat and leaving Anxi, he was full of expectations for the challenges ahead, and he wanted to use Jiannan's big victory to wash away his shame in Tocharo.

"You all go away! I don't want you to be around my tent. ”

At this time, the angry shouts of his daughter Gao Wu came from afar, Gao Xianzhi frowned, in order to take his daughter away, he tried his best to speak, but to no avail, and finally had to use the most primitive method to lock her in a closed carriage.

Seeing that Li Qing'an was coming, she was making trouble now, how could this work, Gao Xianzhi put down her pen, walked out of the big tent, and came to the camp tent of her daughter next door, only to see Gao Wu holding a horizontal knife in her hand, and was angrily shouting to the dozen or so soldiers who blocked her from leaving the tent.

"If you don't go away, I'm going to do it."

The soldiers held large shields in their hands and formed a semicircle around her, and no matter how much she shouted, they would not let her go.

"What are you doing!" Gao Xianzhi shouted loudly.

When the soldiers saw the commander coming, they all dodged away, and Gao Wu stomped his feet and turned back to the camp.

Gao Xianzhi sighed, opened the curtain and walked into his daughter's tent, Gao Wu was lying on the table and sobbing lowly.

"What! My foggy lady is still crying? Gao Xianzhi walked up to her daughter and smiled.

Gao Wu wiped away his tears, raised his head and choked up: "Daddy, I don't want to leave Anzai." ”

"Why?"

"I can't bear the grassland here, I can't bear the snow-capped mountains and deserts here, I like to run freely on the grassland, but Jiannan is full of mountains, I don't like it."

"I didn't say I wanted you to go to Jiannan, you can stay in Chang'an and be with your mother."

Gao Xianzhi smiled and patted her daughter's head, "Don't let your surname be, go back with your father." ”

"I don't! I don't want to go back, even if you force me back to Chang'an, I will come back. "High fog is stubborn and authentic.

"You!"

Anger rose in Gao Xianzhi's heart, he restrained his anger and said, "I think you want to come to him!" ”

Gao Wu bit his lip tightly and didn't say a word, Gao Xianzhi suddenly saw his young self from his daughter's stubborn eyes, at that time, his father resolutely refused him to go to Anxi to join the army, broke many sticks, and even locked him in the room, but he turned out of the roof and tiles, escaped from home, and came to Anxi, and after a few decades, his daughter repeated the scene of his youth.

Gao Xianzhi's heart softened, and he said to her softly: "Wu Niang, it's not that Daddy doesn't like Li Qing'an, in fact, Daddy admires him very much, he is young and promising, and he has outstanding military achievements, he was brought out by Daddy, and he is Daddy's greatest pride." ”

Gao Wu lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Then why doesn't Daddy allow me?" ”

Gao Xianzhi sighed and said, "That's because Li Qing'an is already engaged, and his wife is the daughter of a Dugu family, how can I let my daughter be someone else's second wife, and look at other women." ”

"But Daddy, I don't care."

Gao Wu stood up and begged his father, "Really, I don't care about any name. ”

"You don't care, I care!"

Gao Xianzhi said angrily: "I, Gao Xianzhi, am also a dignified prince, you are my only daughter, and if he marries you as his second wife, it is an insult to me, and I will never allow it!" ”

"Daddy!"

Gao Wu knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "I've been waiting for him for so many years, Daddy, please promise me this time!" ”

"No way!"

Gao Xianzhi was categorical, and there was no room for negotiation, "You only have one choice, either go with your father or go with him, if you go with him, I, Gao Xianzhi, will not have your unfilial daughter from now on." ”

As soon as he turned around, he walked away angrily, and Gao Wu looked at his father's back in despair and began to cry loudly.

．．．．．．．．．． As soon as Gao Xianzhi returned to the big tent, a sergeant came to report that Li Qing'an had arrived and was waiting outside the camp, Gao Xianzhi glanced back at his daughter's camp tent and ordered: "Pack up your things and handle the handover in the clerical account." ”

Li Qing'an waited in front of the tent for a while, and Gao Xianzhi greeted him with a smile, "Qilang, congratulations on your official reinstatement and going to the next level." ”

Li Qingan arched his hand and smiled: "I also wish that the marshal can sweep away the Southern Zhao and shock the southern Xinjiang!" ”

"Huh! Come with me. ”

Gao Xianzhi took Li Qing'an's hand affectionately and walked quickly towards the camp, not going to Gao Xianzhi's big tent, but came to the clerical tent dozens of steps away, this is where Gao Xianzhi's staff handles the documents, the tent has been simply cleaned up, and the runes, seals, arrows and related documents are neatly placed on the table.

The two sat down on the thick military carpet, and the soldiers brought hot tea, Gao Xianzhi sighed and said: "This defeat of Tocharian is caused by my light enemy, I always thought that it was impossible to send troops in the Great Food Civil War, but I didn't expect them to send troops anyway, alas! ”

Li Qingan took a sip of hot tea and asked, "I don't know what the marshal thinks the combat power of the Great Food Army is?" ”

"How do you say that?"

Gao Xianzhi pondered for a moment and said: "If you say that in terms of equipment, they are not as good as the Tang Army, many of them are armored, they look very clumsy, and their bows and arrows are far less sharp than the Tang Army, but they also have merits, their commander's strategy is very high, and they are very good at attacking the enemy's shortcomings, this time I was disrupted by their sneak attack Shule and Broken Leaves." ”

Gao Xianzhi took a sip of the teacup and said: "The second is their tenacity, they fight bravely, and they are not like the nomads who are defeated and defeated, they refuse to admit defeat easily, if you don't kill a soldier, he will never admit defeat, this is quite similar to the Tubo army, Qilang, fight with them, you must not underestimate the enemy." ”

Li Qingan nodded, he pondered for a while and asked, "I wonder if the marshal has got some of their weapons and equipment?" I'd love to look into it. ”

"Yes! It's all in Feng Changqing, and now what I'm most worried about is the prisoners of war of the Tang Army, about a thousand or so, who were captured by the Great Food Army, and I left without changing them back, which is my biggest regret. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Xianzhi handed over the seal, the arrow and a thick map of Anxi to Li Qing'an, and said with a smile: "There should have been a handover ceremony, but you were once my general, so you can take care of my face!" ”

"The handsome man is too worried, and I am also a person who is afraid of excessive courtesy, so it is best to be simpler."

Li Qing'an took over the seal and the arrow representing the power of Anxi, but the rune was not handed over to him, Li Longji had already given him the festival when he left, and Gao Xianzhi's rune was to return Li Longji and regain the new rune, and since then, the power of Anxi has been officially handed over to Li Qing'an.

Gao Xianzhi had some sadness in his eyes, his Anxi, his dream passed like water, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, he was old, and the dream of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty was about to be handed over to the younger generation to realize, Gao Xianzhi slowly stood up, and finally slowly bowed to the Great Seal of the Great Seal of his former festival.

In the vast snowy world, Gao Xianzhi and his party gradually moved away, towards the far east, and slowly turned into a group of small black spots, Li Qing'an immediately looked at them in a small hill, he turned back sharply, looked at the vast land of Anxi, a blood boiled in his heart, from now on, this rich and beautiful land belongs to him.

He galloped away into the vast heavens and the earth.

．．．．．．．．． Jerusalem, the last isolated city of the Umayyad dynasty, had been held out for a whole year, and the last fierce battle between the Abbasids and the Umayyad dynasty reached in flames and smoke**, and it was also the last battle between Shia and Sunni Muslims for the holy city.

Huge boulders churned in the air, whistling and smashing into the dense crowd, huge fireballs flashed with bright red flames and flew towards the city, and the remains of battering rams, ladders, trebuchets and other debris inside and outside the city walls covered the land, many were still billowing smoke, in the middle were countless charred corpses, severed human heads, in a lake in the west of the city, the unique poisonous flames of the Arabs burned on the water, as if hell on earth reappeared on the earth.

Abu Abu, the Abbasid emperor. Abbasid stared coldly at the last of the city of stubborn resistance, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the final order to attack.

With the sound of a low trumpet, the Abbasid camp slowly drove out of a behemoth, black, twenty feet long, eight feet high, this is a huge battering ram, in the attack and defense of Damascus, it was it that knocked down the heavy walls, knocked down the foundation stone of the Umayyad dynasty, and today, it is once again clothed in battle, it will be it that will end the final war.

The huge battering ram required 500 camels to pull and a thousand men to drive it against the city walls, its huge mallet was a 2,000-year-old olive tree, hundreds of zhang long iron chains thicker than an arm were made in Kufa, and all the frames were 1,000-year-old giant trees, which were made by a thousand craftsmen in a year and cost 300,000 dirhams of silver.

The battering ram was called the 'King of the Devil' by the Abbasids, and its appearance represented the end of the war, and the battering ram slowly advanced, and every step it took shook the earth, and gradually, the resistance in the city stopped, and countless Umayyad soldiers knelt down and looked in horror at this monster that was taller than the city walls.

Umayyad coach Abu. Knowing that the tide was turning, Rahman pried off the jewel from the crown of the Umayyad Caliphate with his sword and gave it to his son Abdul. Rahman said in a loud voice: "Go quickly, escape from Jerusalem by the secret passage, flee to Spain, and re-establish our Umayyad dynasty." ”

Young Rahman shook his head firmly, drew his long sword, and said, "I will live and die with Jerusalem!" ”

Abu. Rahman was furious, he knocked his son to the ground with a punch, and roared: "You are the last royal family of the Umayyad dynasty, you are dead, the Umayyad dynasty is extinct, you go quickly!" ”

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and Jerusalem shook like the heavens were cracking. Rahman's eyes turned red, "Aren't you leaving?" ”

Rahman's eyes burst with a sense of grief in choosing between life and death, and he turned around and ran towards the city. Rahman looked at his son as he looked away, he picked up the crown that had lost its brilliance, slowly put it on his head, waved his sword, and shouted: "Swear to live and die with Jerusalem!" ”

"Boom!" There was another earth-shattering thud, and the walls collapsed, and a hundred thousand Abbasid armies swarmed into Jerusalem.

．．．．．．．． The Abbasids walked through the main entrance to Jerusalem, and in front of the main entrance, the commander of the Abbasid army presented to the Abbasids the crown of the Umayyad caliphate, which was made of pure gold and covered with hundreds of brilliant gems, but the largest red stone in the middle of the crown was gone, and the crown seemed to have lost its life.

Abbasid looked at the crown for a long time, and said coldly to his brother Jafar, "The Eye of Light, the sacred stone of the Persian Zoroastrians, can make up for the life of the crown, and I need it." ”

"Great Caliph, I will go and seek the Eye of Light for you."

Jafar bowed down to leave, when Abbasid suddenly said: "And the agreement you signed with Shariq can be canceled, and the impending rebellion in the east will be put down by Abu Abu. Muslims are solely responsible. ”
