The Tang army camp outside Shule City showed a noisy atmosphere, all armies and battalions were stepping up to make dry food, dismantling camp tents, soldiers led horses to the river, dipped in river water to wash the dirt and fleas in the horse's mane, the horses snorted comfortably, and let the master put the saddle stirrup on his back.

Some of the swift men had already tied sheep felt, armor and bags of dry food to their horses, and sat by the river sharpening their knives on a shale rock.

Li Siye walked out of the city, was shocked when he saw this scene, walked over to a team member who was rolling a flag, and asked, "What's the matter?" Why suddenly dismantle the camp and prepare for war? ”

The team was sitting with his back to him, muttering impatiently: "You ask me, where do I know where to go, you ask these officials to go!" ”

He held the flagpole and turned around, and was startled when he saw Li Siye, and hurriedly stood straight with the flagpole: "Li Duhu!" That, I didn't know it was you. ”

Li Siye skipped this verse and asked him again, "Who gave you the order?" ”

"Doctor Qiyu, it's an order announced by the high school Cheng's Jiedu Ya Bi Sishen, and the other lowly positions are unknown."

Li Siye turned around, and the team was beating a drum in his heart and asked, "Li Duhu, do you still need us to continue to pack up?" ”

He turned his head and nodded, "You continue." ”

Gao Xianzhi has already cleaned the capital of the kingdom, captured the king of the kingdom alive, and looted all the treasures in the palace. Now he suddenly wants to attack Shiguo - this is what he did in history, but in this way of fighting for a country's military action, he naturally has to report to the court in advance, otherwise he can only be responsible for any accidents.

Therefore, the plan to attack Shiguo was not carried out by Gao Xianzhi alone, but with the permission of some people in the court, it may be Li Linfu, it may be Xuanzong, but according to the fanaticism of Emperor Xuanzong for victory in the past two years, it is very likely that it was approved by the emperor. But Li Longji was sitting in the Daming Palace thousands of miles away, so he naturally didn't know the situation in the Western Regions, he didn't know whether the Stone Kingdom should be destroyed, he just liked to promote martial arts and show off his might.

However, it was better for him to ask Gao Xianzhi in person.

The envoy of Anxi Jiedu is located in the mansion of the envoy of Shule Town, and Li Siye is naturally familiar with the old residence, but he needs to be informed. Gao Xianzhi's personal guards came out to report, and he finally saw Gao Xianzhi wearing armor in the main hall of the outer courtyard.

Gao Xianzhi turned around and raised his arm armor and said to him, "Doctor Li, I am in armor now, please forgive me for not being able to salute you." ”

Li Siye asked him: "I heard that you are going to go on an expedition against Shiguo, I remember that ten days ago, the king of Shiguo personally wrote you a letter, if I guessed correctly, this is a letter asking for peace and surrender." Since he has surrendered, why is he still raising troops to attack, is it because of Ning Yuan's words? ”

"Of course, it's not just because of that. First of all, that Juche Nose Shi is Huang surnamed Tuqi Shi, in the past, when Fu Mengzhong was there, he once killed He Mo Dagan, so he has been hating me for all these years, and he has also spoken disrespectfully many times, insulting me Tang Guowei. He secretly connected with the Turk Shi Department again and again, with ill intentions. How can this kind of person really surrender, once the big food comes, he will inevitably be the first to rebel. ”

Li Siye asked him again: "Then what are you going to do, do you want to get rid of him?" ”

Gao Xianzhi turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "I remember that you wrote to me when you were in Beiting and said that you would not dictate my decision-making. ”

"I'm pointing fingers?" Li Siye pursed his lips and said, "Whether I can give you advice or not, it's your business whether you listen or not." ”

The entourage tied Gao Xianzhi's robe, he shook his body and shrugged his shoulders so that the shoulder armor clicked, and turned around and said, "Please speak." ”

"Before you decide to get rid of someone, should you think about who to replace him, and whether the replacement can stabilize the situation in Shiguo for him?"

Gao Xianzhi shook his head and smiled: "The land of the small stone country, why bother so much. ”

"Even in the land of projectiles, you need someone to fill the gaps, or you can find a way to arrange it properly, such as stationing troops there, or supporting someone who can stabilize the field. If you can't do this, it's best not to touch him. Because there will never be a vacuum of power, you kill him and then withdraw, leaving a mess that I don't know who will fill it, and killing and burying it like this will allow the big cannibals to take advantage of it. ”

Gao Xianzhi asked, "That's it?" ”

"That's right, that's it."

Gao Xianzhi stood on the ground with a horizontal knife, raised his head and said proudly: "My Anxi army is strong and strong, we can defeat them once, we can defeat them two or three times, how about the big cannibal, if he dares to come in, I just packed them up!" ”

Li Siye thought about it carefully, and finally understood, it turned out that Gao Xianzhi had this purpose, and withdrew after destroying the Shi Kingdom, inducing the Great Food to attack, and then he could start a war with the other party in a straightforward manner. This idea seems to be correct, but acting like this will make the wavering Western Regions countries quickly stand in line, and those who were originally close to Datang will still be close to Datang, but those Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, which are neutral to a certain extent, won't they go to the side of the Great Eclipse?

Li Siye frowned and asked Gao Xianzhi: "Gao Gaocheng, do you know why the countries of the Western Regions are pro-China and neglect to eat?" ”

Gao Xianzhi gave him a very official answer with a historical caliber: "Because my Tang Dynasty is the central country of the world, inculcating kindness and instilling the Quartet, Ze is the world, and the countries of the Western Regions admire me, and then yearn for it." Countries such as Hui, Tibet, India, Dashi, and Fujiu are all remote states and are not worthy of respect. ”

The argument is simple, we are the protagonists of the world, and the rest of us are supporting characters, male number two, male number three, how can their eyes be on the supporting characters.

Li Siye didn't want to refute him, and he didn't have to explain to him that the world is a ball, and in a geometric sense, no matter where you point your finger at this ball, you can see it as the center of the world.

As for thinking of himself as the protagonist, after all, history is not a script, everything in the world is happening at the same time, and there is no such thing as who has more roles and who has fewer scenes. You can say that you are the first Smecta in the universe. He can also say that the world is covered by God, and where God cannot cover it are hooligans and infidels, this person can also say that the world is sprinkled by the light of Allah, and only the children of the Prophet Muhammad are the masters of the world. Even the Indians who grow potatoes in the Americas can point to the Mayan pyramids and say that this is the hope of the world and the beacon of humanity.

Gao Xianzhi didn't seem to know anything about Da Shi, thinking that it was just another feudal dynasty, didn't he know that there was a big difference between a feudal dynasty and a feudal dynasty.

Li Siye said calmly: "It's not because of this, how to say it, the big cannibals believe in a god called Allah, they think that there is only one true god in the world, and everything else is a cow ghost snake god." So not only did they attack other countries, but they also felt that they had an obligation to change the faith for them, which was called spreading the doctrine. The Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu practiced Zoroastrianism, and Tocharian believed in Buddhism, and they were extremely repulsive to foreign religions. But we are different, we can accept all religions and all immortals, and we will not force others to believe in Taoism, and worship Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan, which is our advantage. ”

Li Siye stretched out two fingers and said calmly: "As long as you don't bully them too hard, they won't stand on the side of the big cannibals, with such a good basic advantage, isn't it more important than winning a battle?" ”

Gao Xianzhi was silent for a long time, and said with his hands on his hips: "Brother Siye, do you think I shouldn't fight this battle?" It doesn't matter if you should hit me or not, you can ask the saint, or you can ask the right minister. ”

Li Siye thought about it carefully and closed his mouth.
