Outside Xishan Pass, Liu Botao rode a horse with Shangguan Yunfei, Shangguan Yunxiong and Xia Yuanshan to ascend the heights.

The horses of the four stopped behind the edge of an extended stone platform on the high slope outside the West Mountain Pass.

Since entering Xishan Pass on that day, Liu Botao has been courteous to Xia Yuanshan.

On the second day, Xia Yuanshan summoned important generals in the army and introduced Liu Botao's origin to them.

Xia Yuanshan is very smart, and he moved out of Xiao Tiantu, and he talked about Liu Shiqi, these two people are basically the top two big names in many armies in the world, and this Liu Botao is not only Liu Shiqi's nephew, but also the person recommended by Xiao Tiantu, and he himself is also famous, plus Xia Yuanshan has laid a good foundation for him before Liu Botao's arrival, everyone serves Xia Yuanshan, Xia Yuanshan serves Liu Botao, and Liu Botao naturally takes the position of coach much easier.

In the past few days, Xia Yuanshan has respected Liu Botao everywhere, and although Shangguan Yunfei and Shangguan Yunxiong never call Liu Botao's official position, the two of them can be regarded as Qincha guards, and they are upright and upright, and Liu Botao also completely trusts them.

These four people have become the four pillars of Xishan Pass.

Liu Botao has been influenced by Liu Shiqi since he was a child, and he acts in the style of Liu Shiqi. Its secret sentry has stretched to the first twenty miles, approaching Xizhou City.

Looking at the endless fertile mountains and rivers in front of him, Liu Botao sighed: "If it was in the past, I don't know how many people came and went here. ”

In the past, when the war had not broken out and the world was peaceful, because this road was a fortress leading to Kyoto, caravans did pass by from time to time.

Many people still come from New York to enter Kyoto and sell their goods or fruits for a good price.

Xia Yuanshan also sighed: "Yes, as soon as the war starts, it is the common people who suffer. ”

Liu Botao raised his horsewhip, pointed to the front and said: "The terrain here is open, if Liang Tianci wants to set up an army array, this is very suitable." Thinking that Xizhou has a wide area, Liang Zuo watched the fire on the other side, afraid that the army would be too strict and deep, which would not be conducive to the back road, so Liang Tianci received Liang Zuo's general orders in the past few days, and there was no movement. ”

Xia Yuanshan nodded and said: "Actually, the bravery of the Xinzhou Army is not terrible, what is terrible is that Liang Zuo behind it is also a rare general." ”

Liu Botao nodded and said: "In the past few years, there have been more than a dozen martial champions, but none of them have been so loved like Liang Zuo." Most of them entered the generals' mansions in various places and became deputy generals, and this Liang Zuo can be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people, but he is not satisfied. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Botao couldn't help but sigh and said: "If he knows that he is satisfied, it will be a great achievement to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and the future is naturally limitless." ”

Shangguan Yunfei interjected: "The general cherishes talents, but unfortunately they can't be used." If it can't be used, it should be killed and eliminated, this is the way to survive. ”

That's true. Liu Botao didn't feel that he was higher than them at all: "But thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and one general is hard to find, and there are not a few people who have made contributions to the country throughout the ages." Whether it is a take-or-take depends on people's hearts. ”

......

Tibetan General's Mansion.

In the general's mansion, there is no owner.

Xie Yonghui knew that Liao Qian was killed, and after several generals begged for perfection, he had been swallowing his anger. Including Zhu Gang, who guarded Qingzhou before, can also be regarded as Xie Yonghui's sworn brother.

At present, there was news that the Tibetan soldiers guarding Qingzhou had no owner and were killing each other, so Xie Yonghui took advantage of the situation to transfer back all the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who were guarding the southern part of Tibet, and on the grounds of being disheartened and returning to the city to hand over the seal, he beheaded these cowards who forgot their interests and righteousness, and collected the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Tibet.

Because Xie Yonghui was originally Liao Qian's henchman before, and now those deputy generals in Tibet have been killed by Xie Yonghui, the general will order, and these Tibetan soldiers will also respect Xie Yonghui as the master.

Xie Yonghui trusted two people the most at the moment, one was his guard leader Fan Jin, and the other was Yang Ren, the grain and grass officer who was responsible for escorting grain and grass to him.

As for those soldiers, Xie Yonghui showed great favors and ordered people to distribute the gold and silver treasures in the general's palace to those commanders. Swift Reading.com

It's just that now, the Tibetan soldiers in Qingzhou have become an unstable factor.

Xie Yonghui heard that there was still intrigue among the Tibetan soldiers in Qingzhou, and so far two lieutenant generals and five commanders had died.

Although the situation in Qingzhou has eased somewhat, it is not under control.

Xie Yonghui ordered a letter of resignation, and asked Xue Jinshi, the government commander in the main city of Tibet, to go to Qingzhou in person to state the benefits.

Xie Yonghui's gist in the book is that now that the whole army has no leader, it is better to let Qingzhou go, return to Tibet to discuss major matters, and then elect the next new commander of the Tibetan army.

Because Xie Yonghui knew that the Tibetan soldiers had rebelled, there was almost no possibility of surrender. Even if he knew that surrendering would make up for it, the sergeants under him would not agree.

Simply, Xie Yonghui still decided to go one way to the dark.

Now that Xue Jinshi is on the way, the result is not known, then Xie Yonghui wrote another letter to Liang Zuo in Xinzhou, wanting him to send troops to help him pacify the civil strife of the Tibetan army.

Xue Jinshi's letter is undoubtedly Xie Yonghui's delaying tactic, and those who are in Qingzhou are equally treacherous and should also be killed.

......

Let's say that after Liang Zuo received Xie Yonghui's letter, he was a little suspicious that there was going to be a big move in Tibet. It wasn't until he repeatedly confirmed the cause of Liao Qian's death and the current situation in the two places where the soldiers were hidden that he paid some attention to this matter.

Previously, Liang Zuo only blindly cared about the overall situation, and where these friendly forces fought and stopped, was the news he was most concerned about.

Now that these news from Tibet have come, Liang Zuoben is overjoyed that he has lost such a strong rival as Liao Qian.

But with that comes worry.

After reading the letter, Liang Zuo's brows tightened, in the same way, if the Tibetan soldiers were in chaos, the strength of the friendly army would be greatly reduced, and they would inevitably be counterattacked by the imperial army. Liang Zuo knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, Liang Zuo knows better than anyone.

Therefore, all along, apart from the ordinary defense on the border, Liang Zuo did not do anything difficult with Tibet.

Today's news is really surprising.

Liang Zuo closed his eyes, and his voice was very loud: "Pass my general's order, the generals of Xizhou, you must not move troops without authorization." Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

......

Liang Zuo has the ambition to fight for the world, but he is cautious and subtle.

He was unwilling to be ordinary, even if he went from Wu Zhuangyuan to the position of general, he would still not be satisfied.

Perhaps, he is the best example of the lack of human hearts swallowing elephants.

People who practice martial arts are already competitive and competitive, and Liang Zuo has never thought that his character is wrong.

In this world, the weak eat the strong, the strong are always respected, and the weak are always passive.

Liang Zuo's concept of monarchs and ministers only stayed before Xiao Shifeng made him the general of the new state capital.
