There were still a few miles away from Broken Leaf City, and the defenders at the head of the city immediately waved their banners when they saw their arrival, and the city gate slowly closed, and groups of soldiers poured up to the city, ready for battle, although these people came from the direction of Anxi, but now that they were on the battlefield, they had to be prepared.

Several horses also rushed towards Li You's army, and when they arrived, the horses scattered in all directions, and the first of them, the colonel, saw that the banner of the Tang Dynasty did not show any relaxation, and greeted them vigilantly, stopping in front of them and shouting, "Who is coming?" ”

"I am Li You, the commander of the Tang Dynasty, and I was ordered to escort the crossbows and craftsmen for the Gaodu." Li You took out his identity documents and the military order issued by the imperial court from his arms and handed them to the soldiers around him, who took them and quickly ran to the colonel and handed them over.

The banner of the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Guang Armor, the Tang Knife, the horse lance, and the complexion of the faces and complexions of the people are all telling the colonel that this army is undoubtedly the armed force of his own side, and then looking at the documents and tokens sent by the soldiers, the vigilance in the eyes of the colonel finally relaxed, and he reached out to take the documents and looked through them carefully.

"It turns out that you are from Chang'an, you have worked hard all the way, and you will go to the city with me!" Now that the identity of Li You and his party has been determined, the tone of the little colonel has also become kind, and he returned the documents and tokens to the soldiers with both hands, took back the scattered horses, and took Li You and them to Broken Leaf City, the defenders on the city wall also loosened the bowstring when they saw this, the long knife was returned to the sheath, and the rolling wood was reset, and the city gate slowly opened again, and a strong general walked down the city wall and walked towards the city gate, while his personal soldiers ran quickly towards the city, thinking that they were going to report information to Gao Xianzhi and others.

"Tianwei Army Scout Horse Li Tianlang has seen Lord Duwei." The junior colonel walked in front of Li You and bowed and said, "This place is not far from Talas City, so I am more cautious below, and I hope Lord Du Wei will forgive me." ”

"That's the way it should be." Li You didn't mind at all, this small school named Li Tianlang can strictly abide by the rules, not let down his vigilance just because he saw the banner of the Tang Dynasty, and his words are quite decent, and what is even more valuable is that he is still literate, Li You has a good impression of him, "I don't know if Gao Duhu can be in Broken Leaf City now?" ”

If Gao Xianzhi had already left Shattered Leaf City and headed for Talas City, then he would have to continue to catch up, if that was the case, it would mean that the Battle of Talas was about to begin, which was extremely unfavorable to Li You.

"Lord Protector is still in the city, and he has ordered someone to report it." Li Tianlang pointed to a soldier who was far away in front and said, his answer made Li You put his mind at ease for the time being, since Gao Xianzhi is still in the city, it means that the battle of Talas has not yet begun, so the next key is to persuade Gao Xianzhi to let himself participate in this battle.

Asked carefully all the way about the situation in the city, Li Tianlang was quite strict-mouthed, and he always pretended not to know about some military information involving secrets, but he knew everything about other things, and after a while, the group had arrived at the city of broken leaves, and Li You saw a familiar figure at a glance.

"A certain Zhonglang general Li Siye, dare to ask who is coming?" The seven-foot-tall, sturdy, formidable general asked aloud.

The other party's position is higher than his own, Li You hurriedly got off the horse and saluted, "Down is Li You, the lieutenant of Guoyi in the Chang'an Army, and I have seen General Li." After that, he raised his eyes to look at Li Siye, but saw that the big man in front of him was much younger than the last time he saw him, no wonder, Li You was last in the second year of Zhide (757), and now it is the tenth year of Tianbao (751); When they met in Suiyang City, Li Siye was six years younger.

"Haha, Captain Du has worked hard all the way, but I didn't expect that there are heroes like Captain Du in the Chang'an Army." Li Siye laughed and said, the Tang Dynasty and the later Song Dynasty guarded the internal and external military layout is different, he still continues the tradition since the Qin and Han dynasties, and places the elite of the court on the side fortress, ready to suppress the turmoil in the border fortress at any time, so the soldiers of the border fortress have always not looked down on the defenders of Chang'an, although Li Siye's words are compliments, but Li You does not know how to deal with it.

Just as he was hesitating, a man dressed as a scribe about thirty-five or sixteen hurriedly rode to the gate of the city, "Lord Du Hu has an order, and he ordered Li You, the commander of Guoyi, to enter the city to pay respects." ”

"This is Cen Shen, the head secretary of the shogunate." Du Huan whispered the identity of the person in Li You's ear, but he was a famous figure.

"I've seen Mr. Cen in the next place!" Li You saluted again, but the fame of this Biansai poet in later generations was far greater than that of Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye, Li You still remembered his popular poems, whether it was "Bai Xue Ge Sends the Military Judge to Beijing", "Walking Horses and Rivers" or "Luntai Song" can be recited in full.

Under the leadership of Li Siye and Cen Shen, Li You and Du Huan soon came to Gao Xianzhi's marshal's mansion, Gao Xianzhi's current official position is the deputy capital of Anxi, the envoy of the four towns of Anxi, and the three divisions of the opening of the palace, as for the post of the protector of the capital of Anxi, there is the prime minister Li Linfu Yaoling, he is handsome, good at riding and shooting, brave and resolute, and has defeated the enemies of the Tang Dynasty many times in the Western Regions, leaving behind great military achievements.

Gao Xianzhizu was originally a Goryeo, but was captured in the war with the Tang Dynasty and later returned to the Tang Dynasty and became a member of the Tang Army. Gao Xianzhi followed Gao Sheji to Anxi when he was a teenager, and was named a guerrilla general because of his father's merits, and successively served under Tian Renwan, Gai Jiayun, and Fumeng Lingcha, the envoys of the four towns of Anxi.

In the early years of Tianbao, he defeated the rebellion of the Daxi Department with 2,000 elite cavalry; In the sixth year of Tianbao, he captured Lianyunbao, defeated Xiao Bolu, captured the king of Xiao Bolu and the princess of Tubo, and the seventy-two kingdoms of Zhuhu and Dashi surrendered when they heard the wind; In the eighth year of Tianbao, from Anxi to the country of Jishi (now Chitral, Pakistan); In the ninth year of Tianbao, he defeated the army of the state of exhaustion, captured the king of exhaustion, and the Tang court appointed the elder brother of Bert as the king of Shushi.

The continuous victories made Gao Xianzhi forgetful, and he then defeated Shi Guo and Tuqi Shi, who had always been close to the Tang Dynasty, and his greed made the allies of the Tang Dynasty gradually decrease, and he attracted such a strong enemy as the black-clothed eater, but now Gao Xianzhi may not have realized his mistake, and is sitting on the top of the handsome seat and looking at Li You.

"The last general Li You has seen Gao Duhu, and the last general has brought two hundred crossbows, eight hundred feather arrows, and twenty trebuchets for Lord Duhu this time, and there are hundreds of craftsmen for the adults to use." Li You bowed his hand and saluted. (To be continued.) )
