Chapter 582: The Interview Envoy Accompanies the Expedition
The emperor sent a decree from Chang'an, agreeing that Li Siye would participate in the expedition to the state of Qianshi, but he was only allowed to observe the battle and evaluate the battle fairly, just like the modern military observation group.
Unexpectedly, he also received a letter from Yang Zhao, but he had already begun to claim to be a national loyalty. Yang Guozhong showed a slight sense of courtesy in the letter, and it is hard to imagine that the last time this person met him, he almost broke off his relationship with the Yang family because of jealousy. In the letter, he said that this time he sincerely wanted to form an offensive and defensive alliance with him, and that the previous alliance was only to treat him as an outsider for amusement.
Yang Zhao said that the emperor was able to let him participate in Gao Xianzhi's expedition to the country of Qianshi, and it was he who said good things behind his back, so let's just say that what he said was true. He also formulated the next development plan for Li Siye, hoping that when Li Siye followed Gao Xianzhi, he would try his best to find loopholes in the other party's command, and then give the emperor a dismissal.
To put it simply, it is to play a sunspot and troll, using public opinion and tongue to discredit the other party, and finally influence the emperor to make the other party step down, so as to achieve his goal of replacing the other party.
Look at this person's ability level, only suitable for being a naked traitor and wicked, can't he use a little subtle method to do evil without any cover, and he won't even do a mask to cover himself?
I really don't blame him for this, because of the state of the shutdown strike of the late saints of Tianbao, Li Linfu doesn't need much technical content for the whole person, which makes Yang Zhao unconsciously lower his level. Because the right minister Li Linfu represents the ceiling of the level of political struggle in the Tang Dynasty, even if other people want to be high, they will definitely not be able to go high to him.
Although the sudden change in Yang Zhao's attitude is puzzling, if you think about it deeply, you can quickly find the reason, because Yang Guozhong began to grow in the middle and late stages of Tianbao, and his horizons gradually expanded, and he would not catch a general who was quite favored by glory and was delusional as a great enemy. The enemy on his journey to power has gradually become clear, that is, Li Linfu, who once worked together in a mess.
In fact, the two belong to the same kind of people, they are equally jealous and jealous, and they also have a strong desire for power, but Yang Guozhong's ability to pull his crotch in all directions without dead ends is simply a super low-profile version of Li Linfu, and the gap is bigger than the gap between Land Rover and Land Feng. I believe that Li Linfu didn't look down on Yang Zhao at all, and fooled him as a stupid relative of Yang Guifei's family. But Yang Guozhong is not really stupid, and people also have merits, otherwise they would not have won the emperor's favor, plus the blessing of his cousin Yang Guifei. Li Linfu really underestimated his ability, so he finally fell into a passive situation.
The quiet confrontation between Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu made Li Siye realize that he had arrived in the golden age of his development in Longyou, Xixi. He can stand on Yang Guozhong's side and use the contradiction between the two to develop his strength, at least their attention will not be on Beiting Anxi, let alone on the head of a business chamber of commerce that is hiding and growing.
Just after this year's Yuanzheng, he personally ordered Cen Shen and Yan Xiaosi, and took Yan Xiaosi to lead dozens of tooth soldiers to Qiuzi.
Cen Shen was nervous but excited, since he came to Moxi, he had never experienced a war, and after a day and night of mediocrity, he was eager to experience a flesh-and-blood war. Li Siye's words shattered his illusions: "Don't expect to fight, you will never be allowed to participate, but you can watch the battle from afar, presumably a great poet like you, after seeing the golden iron horse and the rain of arrows like locusts, you will definitely be able to create a beautiful poem." ”
They walked all the way through the desert yellow sand, and everyone stood on the top of the sand dunes, watching the red sun spread on the sand dunes in the distance, baking the golden sand into a glow red. Cen Shen raised his head and looked at it, and suddenly opened his mouth and chanted: "The yellow sand moraine is a fan of travelers, and the clouds and sky are straight down. In order to say that the earth is exhausted, the line is more westward to Anxi. ”
Li Siye controlled himself and did not applaud, nor did he shout in a hoarse voice like the generals and reckless men. He felt that this was a contempt and humiliation of the poets, and he felt that it was very pleasant and comfortable, and any exaggerated performance would make the poet Cen feel that he was being played.
"Good poetry, good scenery. Let's go. ”
When they entered Qiuzi City, they found that Gao Xianzhi was already ready to go, but fortunately, Chang'an's will was delivered quickly, if they left two or three years late, they would lose their arms with each other, and they had to chase all the way to the Green Ridge from behind.
The two met on the streets of the city, there was a horizontal blowing road in front of Gao Gaocheng, the tooth soldiers were holding horizontal knives on both sides, there was a door in front, there were six pillars on the left and right, and the staff members followed him on his left and right, looking majestic and dignified, without losing the style of the temperance envoy.
Li Siye praised him: "High school Cheng, congratulations in advance on your victory and return from the expedition." ”
Gao Xianzhi smiled lightly and tastelessly: "Thank you, Doctor Li." ”
"You should have seen the will sent to you by the sage, Heiye is just standing next to him as an elm pimple, and it will never affect the general's command, and the evaluation after the battle will be close to the truth, to maintain absolute fairness, with the relationship between you and me, you don't have to worry about this matter."
"Of course I don't worry, this battle has been planned for a long time, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. But I still want to ask Dr. Li for more advice. Listening to what he said was so unseemly, it fully exposed Gao Xianzhi's mustard for him.
"High school Cheng, please rest assured, I, Li Siye, will do what I say, and if I don't participate, I won't participate, and I will never get an axe in front of you."
After a brief conversation, the two finally reached an agreement in the temptation, and they joined Gao Xianzhi's team and walked with him, and began to cross the White Horse River in the direction of the city.
This expedition Gao Xianzhi led a team of 6,000 people, and Zhao Chongxuan's Shule army still had 2,000 people waiting in Shule City, because the personnel this time were more streamlined, the army was also more sophisticated, each person carried a pack horse by his side, fresh water, dry food, equipment, and arrows were all carried on horseback, and advanced forward in the long yellow sand of the Gobi Desert.
When Li Siye and Gao Xianzhi walked side by side, the rest of the generals in the army took the initiative to leave behind them, and the two had similar ranks, and their different experiences did not make them too alienated.
"Si Ye, if you have any suggestions for me on this expedition to the kingdom of the Karma Master, I want to hear your truth, not those beautiful words that are too pretentious."
He turned around and looked at Gao Xianzhi's face, and saw that the expression on his face didn't seem to be fake, so he said with a smile: "This expedition is much easier than last time, the route of departure is also the original Green Ridge Road, and the enemy is no longer the original Tubo people, and it has become simple and easy to have fewer personnel to participate in the battle." It's actually your exhibition match, a long-distance run with no suspense standards. ”
