"In a few months, it will be difficult for you to rush from Chang'an to Broken Leaf City. "In order to achieve the purpose www.biquge.info of raiding the black-clothed food, Gao Xianzhi was already ready to lose this batch of materials, but he didn't expect Li You to send this batch of urgently needed materials and craftsmen at the last moment before he was ready to enter Talas City, which really surprised him.

Chang'an's government army is not as elite as the border town army is something that many generals have long been familiar with, Li You can lead people through the Western Regions to reach Broken Leaf City in time, which reflects the combat effectiveness has exceeded the ability of the Tang Dynasty army; Among them, in addition to the accompanying army, which was originally selected from Chang'an, Du Huan, who is familiar with the path of the Western Regions, and Li You, who has experience in marching in the Western Regions, have all contributed to it, and it is enough for them to be proud of being able to complete such a task.

"The Protector of Pontus will play to the court to show your merits; After the inventory of supplies is over, you can go back with your men, and the court will definitely not hesitate to reward them. With Gao Xianzhi's endorsement, Li You's credit this time is finalized, and it will not be a problem to be promoted and rewarded in the future.

But it is not what Li You wants, he is not a native of the Tang Dynasty, this merit is precious to the other Tang Dynasty captains, but he wants to participate in the battle of Talas, and now when he hears that Gao Xianzhi wants to let him go back, he can't help but be a little anxious, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Lord Duhu, and listen to the words of the general!" Now that Lord Metropolitan Protector is going to have a decisive battle with the Black Clothed Great Food, the last general also wants to participate in it, and I hope that Lord Metropolitan Protector will be successful. ”

"This ......" Gao Xianzhi hesitated slightly, although his subordinates claimed to be 100,000 troops, but the core elite was only more than 20,000, and the rest were either miscellaneous soldiers recruited from all over Anxi, or the servant army of the vassal tribes such as Ge Lulu and Ning Yuanguo, the combat effectiveness varied, and the loyalty of the subjects was also different, and now there was an army that was absolutely loyal to the Tang Dynasty who was willing to join them, Gao Xianzhi was also a little moved, but he had not dealt with Li You before, so it was not easy to make a decision for a while.

"Lord Duhu, please rest assured, although the thousand elite cavalry led by the last general is not as battle-hardened as the Tianwei Army of Lord Duhu, it is also strictly trained according to the standards of the Xuanjia Army; From Chang'an to Broken Leaf City, he has also defeated the thieves who coveted the supplies of the army several times, and he will definitely not drag down the adults. Li You hurriedly explained that there had indeed been several skirmishes along the way, and they all won the battle.

"But the military order issued by the imperial court directly said that you should send the materials to the hands of the Pontusho, but it did not say that you should lead the army to the war." Gao Xianzhi pointed to Li Youfang and said.

"The general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, and it is the time to employ people now, even if the court knows about it in the future, I'm afraid it won't blame you, right? What's more, the task of the last general has been completed, and it makes not much difference if he returns to Chang'an a month or two in the morning or a month or two in the evening. "According to the Tang military system, Li You really doesn't have to obey Gao Xianzhi's orders, but if he takes the initiative to ask for battle, it's two different things, and Gao Xianzhi can completely agree to push the boat down.

"Lord Duhu is powerful in Anxi, whether it is big or small, Bolu or Tubo have been defeated one after another, presumably this time the black-clothed food will not last long! If the last general is fortunate enough to serve temporarily under the command of the lord, it will be honorable. In order to achieve the goal of persuading Gao Xianzhi to promise himself, Li You even began to pat himself on the back, "This is the last general who has been stained with the light of Lord Duhu, and after winning this battle, the last general will lead the army back to Chang'an, and will be widely praised in the capital for the tiger power of Lord Duhu, presumably Your Majesty will hear it, and will also be happy for Lord Duhu's victory, right?" ”

This remark was also carefully considered by Li You before, Tang Ming Emperor Li Longji has become more and more happy in recent years, so the generals of Anxi, Beiting, Lulong and other major border towns have many behaviors that are good at provoking the border to obtain credit and flattery, such as Gao Xianzhi's previous defeat of Shiguo and Tuqishi, although it was quite damaging to the Tang Dynasty, Li Longji did not criticize him too much. Now that there is a general like himself in Chang'an who speaks for Gao Xianzhi, he may be able to gain Li Longji's favor even more.

Although I don't know Li You's background, but seeing that his demeanor is extraordinary, and the armor and weapons on his body are all good things, plus he is also surnamed Li, and he became the captain of Guoyi at a young age, Gao Xianzhi also misunderstood that he was from a high-ranking family in Beijing, if there is such a person who is willing to speak for himself, it should be better than several good news.

If such a goal can be achieved, then what can be counted as letting him participate in this battle and gain some credit? Gao Xianzhi's tone finally relaxed, "In this case, you will lead the army down to rest first, and watch you practice at the school early tomorrow morning, if you are still passable, Ponthu will allow you to go out with the army; If you are not qualified, then you can go back to Chang'an! ”

"Thank you Lord Duhu for your kindness, the last general will take the order!" Li You was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed to come down, and followed Cen Shen out of the big tent to rest.

Gao Xianzhi behind him shook his head gently, this was indeed a small opportunity for him, but he still had to be able to meet his requirements by Li You's soldiers, if the performance of Li You's army could not satisfy him, then this army would not only not be able to help him, but would also drag down his Tianwei army, if so, he would never leave it behind.

Although such a decision may lose a chance to show his face in Beijing, it is much more cost-effective than killing Li You and offending his family.

"Mr. Cen's literary reputation is far and wide, and he has heard many times in Beijing that literati and writers recite Mr. Cen's poems, and it is a great honor to see his face today; Mr. is talented and has made great contributions in the Western Regions, and he will definitely be able to shine on the lintel and restore the prestige of the Cen family in the future. Li You also said polite words to Cen Shen along the way.

Cen Shen's great-grandfather Cen Wenwen served as prime minister during the Tang Taizong period, and was buried in Zhaoling after his death; Bozu Cen Changqian also served as the prime minister when he was in Gaozong, and also served as the chief of the Wuwei Dao march, and the expedition to Tibet; Uncle Cen Xi visited the prime minister again when he was Ruizong, and served as the prime minister for three consecutive generations, and the scenery of the Cen family was unparalleled for a while.

It's a pity that Cen Xi was plotted against her because she was attached to Princess Taiping, and wanted to make a mess, and was killed by Li Longji, and his family was broken, and dozens of Cen relatives were exiled, and the Cen family has declined since then, so Cen Shen failed to stay in Beijing after winning the Jinshi, but came to the Anxi Protectorate soon after.

A person from such a background attaches great importance to restoring the glory of his ancestors, and Li You's words quickly won Cen Shen's favor and provided him with a lot of convenience.

"Wenyang will go to rest first, and Cen once again wishes Wenyang tomorrow's drill to convince Du Hu." After setting everything up, Cen Shen said with the word Li You. (To be continued.) )
