When Li Ang walked to Weizhou, he met Ge Shuhan and his entourage, who had been ordered to return to Beijing.

Today, unlike in the past, the significance of recovering the land of the Yellow River is no less than the capture of the stone fort, and the accumulated credit of Geshuhan is no less than that of Li Ang.

In this case, when they met again, Ge Shuhan did not stand on his toes, on the contrary, he was more peaceful than before, just like the calm and calm mentality that a person naturally formed after he had proven his ability.

Around Li Ang, there were only less than ten people such as Li Mi and Wu Xuan. Ge Shuhan, together with the Tuyuhun prince Kachin and other people, amounted to nearly a thousand, and there were nearly a thousand people, and they were mighty.

The two sides met outside Weizhou City, and Ge Shuhan invited Li Ang into a small wine shop on the side of the road, with a broken table, two stools, three or two side dishes, and a pot of turbid wine, and sat and drank opposite each other.

Outside the wine shop, the war horses roared, and thousands of people were watching Li Ang and Ge Shuhan.

Li Ang was not yet twenty years old, and Ge Shuhan was already in his forties, but both of them were legends who had just become famous in Longyou, and the two of them drank against each other in the wine shop, and none of the soldiers outside dared to show impatient expressions.

"Weicheng is light and dusty in the rain, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west. Li Ang looked at the willow outside the wine shop and gently recited Wang Wei's poem. The voice was full of emotion. He just likes the artistic conception of this poem, and has no other meaning. The so-called emotion is only a feeling that one day I can be in the artistic conception of this poem.

Geshuhan's mind was not on this, he put down his glass, and asked; "You went to Beijing with Ambassador Wang, why are you the only one who returns to Longyou, Ambassador Wang?"

Li Ang looked at the cloudy color of the wine in his wine glass, because the wine of this year has not been distilled, it is just the wine filtered out of the original pulp, all of which are very turbid.

"Ambassador Wang couldn't come back, the Son of Heaven ordered Ambassador Wang to be put in prison, and after the trial of the three divisions, Ambassador Wang was sentenced to death on charges of disobeying the holy decree, supporting the army and self-respect, and plotting against him."

"What? Ambassador Wang was convicted of capital crimes? Goscherhan had apparently not heard the news before, and in an instant he almost knocked over the flask.

"A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, how many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking!" Li Anggao sighed, drank the turbid wine in the cup and said, "The holy order is hard to disobey, General Geshu, there are some things we can't do but let it go away with the smoke and dust of history." ”

"At the beginning, the strategy of giving up the storming of the stone fortress and destroying the living forces of Tibet was still given to Ambassador Wang. You know that Ambassador Wang was wronged, why don't you say a word for Ambassador Wang? Ge Shuhan pressed the jar of wine and stared at him like a torch and asked.

Li Ang smiled indifferently: "General Geshu didn't even know about Ambassador Wang's imprisonment, so he concluded that I didn't speak for Ambassador Wang, which shows that I do have a reason not to speak for him." ”

"You!"

"However, I didn't speak for Ambassador Wang, not because I was narrow-minded, but because I knew that Ambassador Wang would not die this time."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure that General Geshu will use his own merits to exchange Ambassador Wang's life, and I'm sure that the Holy Lord will be moved by General Geshu's sincerity, so as to save Ambassador Wang's death. Although there is some bitterness between me and General Geshu, I believe that General Geshu is a person who values love and righteousness. General Geshu, after drinking this glass of wine, hurry back to Beijing, now, only you can save Ambassador Wang! ”

"Farewell!" Ge Shuhan and Li Ang drank the last glass of wine, slapped the wine glass on the table, and immediately strode out of the wine shop, and under his leadership, thousands of soldiers and horses accelerated the journey to Chang'an.

Waiting for the smoke and dust of Ge Shuhan to go away, Li Ang looked at the small wine shop that was empty, and the willow color outside the wine shop was still good. He smiled, and then took Li Mi and the others to set off again and headed for Longyou.

After Weizhou, the autumn wind is getting tighter, the northern geese fly south, the grass is slightly yellow, and the leaves are falling one after another. The heavens became clearer and more lofty, and the land in the northwest became more rugged and majestic.

Li Changshi's mood seems to be a little conflicted. Li Mi urged the horse and Li Ang to walk side by side, the wind and sand in the northwest were strong, and he pressed the hat down, looking like a knight traveling far away.

Li Ang said with a smile: "According to your speculation, Ge Shuhan is very likely to take over as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, although there is some mustard between me and him, but it is not a great enemy of life and death, today sell him a favor, if you really say it, in the future, Ge Shuhan will really become the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, and they will get along with each other." ”

"Chang Shi really thinks that Ge Shuhan can save Wang Zhonghe?"

"Ge Shuhan's brand of Wang Zhonghei is deep enough, I don't need to trick him into jumping into the fire pit again."

"That's it."

"I'm in a hurry to leave Chang'an, I just don't want to be in that pool of muddy water, let's finally be quiet, and the people in Chang'an City can go with him as much as they like. Let's think about how to pit Tibet. Pit the enemy, always be a little more upright, isn't it? ”

Li Mi thought for a while and said: "The four major tribes of Tubo, Sun Bo, Tuyuhun, Subi, and Dangxiang, now Tuyuhun has been attached to my Tang Dynasty, and helped my Tang Dynasty seize the land of the Yellow River Jiuqu, plus the previous Hechuan guard, Shibao Battle, Tubo lost troops and generals, suffered heavy casualties, and suffered great injuries;

At this time, the various ethnic groups in Tibet must be unstable and have their own plans, so I think that in addition to actively striving for the support of the Subi tribe, Li Changshi can also start to win over the party at the same time;

The Dangxiang clan is mostly nomadic in the area of Qinghai Lake, and now my Tang Dynasty is majestic, according to my opinion, there is a precedent of Tuyuhun, and it is not difficult to win over the party department at present;

Once successful, with the addition of the Subi tribe, the four major tribes of Tibet will be eliminated, and if these three tribes can be used to counterattack Tibet, it will not be impossible to pacify Tibet. ”

Dangxiang was originally a Xiqiang species, and the ancestors were nomadic in the grasslands around Qinghai Lake and south of Qinghai Lake, and in the mountains near the source of the Yellow River, Datong River and Huangshui. On the edge of this region is the place in the northeastern part of Tibet, which is customarily called Amdo.

The party members are still martial and brave. People of the same clan must help each other, and when they are hurt by foreigners, they must take revenge, and before revenge, they must be unkempt and barefoot, and abstain from eating meat until they kill their enemies, and then they can return to normalcy.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the state of Tubo on the Tibetan Plateau was increasingly expanded, and it went north and destroyed Tuyuhun, and invaded and coerced the Dang Xiangqiang. Some of the Dangxiang tribes scattered in Qinghai moved south, and Tang moved the Jingbian Prefecture Governor's Mansion to Gyeongju, with 25 Dangxiang Prefectures under its jurisdiction.

The original residence of the Dangxiang clan was occupied by Tubo, and the remaining residents of Dangxiang were the servants of the Tubo aristocracy, and Tubo called these people "medicine".

More than 100 years have passed, the status of the party people in Tubo has been improved, but it is still not fully integrated with the Tubo, and the nomadic Qinghai Lake area of the party people is close to Longyou, in the case of the Tang army advancing step by step, and the Tubo is losing and retreating, the party will bear the brunt, in this case, the possibility of winning over the party people should be the greatest.

Li Ang said to Li Mi: "Mi, after arriving in Shanzhou, the party tribe will be handed over to you to plan, the opportunity is rare, now is just striking while the iron is hot, Tuyuhun, Subi, Dangxiang, if we can really let the four major tribes of Tubo go to the third, we will be able to pacify Tubo in our lifetime." ”

"Throughout the history of the nomadic tribes, most of them are prosperous and vigorous, and the defeat is also sudden, and it is rare for Tibet to prosper for more than 100 years, and now it seems that Tibet has also come to the time of decline from prosperity. Tubo may be doomed to perish at the hands of Li Changshi. ”

"Things are man-made, and there is nothing destined in the world."

After Leon finished speaking, he whipped the horse's buttocks and sped up to the west.

Counting from Chang'an, it took a total of eighteen days for Li Ang and his entourage to arrive in Shanzhou, which was already fast.

Returning to this frontier town again, Leon was warmly welcomed.

The marching Sima Cui Qianyou took the subordinate officials of the Yamen to greet him, and there was no shortage of brothers such as Li Sheng, Hua Qiu, Murong and Shun who had fought together, and everyone was happy.

Li Ang returned, and in a more powerful way, and in the absence of the Jiedu envoy, Li Ang, the long history, was one of the biggest officials in Longyou.

In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and Liu Zhao's Note, when talking about the setting up of staff officials in the General's Mansion, there is such a record: Dou Xian was the general, and he was placed in Changshi, Sima, and the officials and subordinates, and the rank of Taifu.

The festival of the Tang Dynasty makes the status of the chief of staff and the marching Sima basically juxtaposed, sometimes one is set alone, sometimes the long history and Sima are set together, and the right to speak in the same long history is relatively high.

What's more, Li Ang has a holy decree, and there are rumors that he is the grandson of the emperor, so from this point of view, although the rank of marching Sima Cui Qianyou is tied with Li Ang, he should be the leader.

Cui Qianyou took the initiative to lead the officials of the Jiedu envoy to greet him, and also expressed his willingness to be headed by Li Ang.

As soon as they met, Li Ang jumped off the horse, took Cui Qianyou's hand and said: "Cui Sima is Li Ang's former boss, and he welcomes him warmly today, don't you teach Li Ang to feel ashamed, Cui Sima has tormented Li Ang!" ”

Cui Qianyou said repeatedly: "It should be, it should be, Li Changshi has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, deterred Tibet, and shocked the Tang Dynasty, and deserves everyone's respect, don't you say?" ”

The subordinate officials of the envoy responded one after another: "Yes, yes, Li Changshi is famous for his military exploits, and he deserves this courtesy." ”

"Li Changshi has been tired of saddle horses all the way, please enter the city quickly, we have prepared a banquet for Li Changshi to wash the dust for Li Changshi."

"Yes, yes, please Li Changshi to appreciate the light!"

Officialdom pays attention to a courtesy, of course this Li Ang understands, such a reception banquet will naturally go, otherwise it will not give face, and the future work will not be carried out.

"The hospitality of your colleagues, but Li Ang is disrespectful, and I will get drunk with my colleagues today."

"Good! Good Domain! ”

In the laughter of joy, Li Ang was surrounded by everyone and entered Shanzhou City, which was a new beginning for Li Ang, and perhaps a new beginning for the entire Longyou.

To tell the truth, Li Ang really wanted to shout to the Tubo people: "I, Hu Hansan, are back again!" (To be continued.) )
