This winter is extremely cold, and the entire northwest is like an ice cellar.

Li Jiuzhou is not used to such a biting cold.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves awakened the bleak wind like an eagle. The bleak wind on the plateau flew across the dancing flags like a knife. The officer who led the lead wiped his eyes, which were a little painful by the wind and sand, shouted loudly: "We are in Lingzhou ahead."

The army rushed towards the wind and sand that was rushing towards us.

The Shuofang Jiedushi was originally appointed by Li Linfu. As soon as Li Linfu died, the position of Jiedushi was vacant. The court transferred Tian Zhen to the deputy envoy of Jiedushi, temporarily managing the affairs here.

"I didn't expect General Li to be here so soon." Tian Zhen greeted him with a smile. He was the largest official in Lingzhou City, followed by a group of dusty generals.

They followed Tian Zhen from the distant Sole City, defeated Tubo and conquered Xiaobolu, and came to Lingzhou for a short time to station, so they looked a little more tired from afar than Li Jiuzhou.

Li Jiuzhou's voice was blurred by the whizzing wind: "At this time of the march, I borrowed the ground to rest, which would be disturbed."

"Gen. Li has come from afar, please come into the house quickly." Tian Zhen pointed his hand.

Li Jiuzhou ordered people to settle the army and horses, and then entered the house. Wannanshan followed closely behind and was stopped by Li Jiuzhou.

The room was light, and the only fun was the sound of a huqin. After a few greetings, everyone suddenly became quiet because of the desolate sound of the piano.

Following the sound of the piano, the old man who played the piano was a simple-dressed old man with a little gray hair, and he was only playing the piano on his own, with only the piano in his eyes, soaked in his frost.

Li Jiuzhou's hometown in modern society only plays the erhu at funerals, so he feels particularly sad.

After a moment of stopping, he frowned slightly and said, "It's good to play."

Tian Zhen politely said: "The country savage made General Li laugh."

The old man stopped the piano in his hand, raised his eyebrows and grinned the corner of his mouth, which made people realize that he was not a serious person.

The old man asked with a smile: "Since General Li has agreed, why are he still worried?"

"Old man Zhang." Tian Zhen scolded, "You must not be arrogant in front of the general, you can go down first."

The old man then walked out with the piano in his arms.

Tian Zhen asked someone to bring the teacup, but he was not prepared for Li Jiuzhou to come here.

Li Jiuzhou picked up the teacup and sipped it. It was a bit bitter, not as delicate as the tea in Beijing. He frowned slightly, put down the teacup and said, "I have a long-handled big sword outside the tent. It is so powerful. The name of General Tian Gongmo Dao is indeed well-known."

Although Tian Zhen is a military general, she is also polite. "When it comes to being powerful, Tian really dares not take it. When the general arrives at Shule, look at the power of the great general of the supernatural powers, it will be powerful."

Li Jiuzhou nodded and said, "I have heard of Li Siye's reputation as Mr. Li, and I only regret not being able to see the style of the Modao Army. Today I saw him in front of Mr. Tian's tent. I am already impressed. I have such a warrior in the Tang Dynasty, so why worry about the foreign enemies not being defeated?"

Tian Zhen smiled, "Gao Jiedushi is in charge of the Anxi Protectorate, and General Li is here, so he will definitely win this time."

"Duke Tian once fought with Tubo, but I wonder how powerful he is?" Li Jiuzhou learned from him.

Tian Zhen's words slowed down his morale a little: "The Tubo people are brave and warlike, and they often do not rely on wisdom. In addition, the terrain in the border area is complicated, so they can't get any benefits. I heard that the general is going to fight with Dashi again this time, which may not be easy."

"Why is it not easy?" Li Jiuzhou asked.

"Tubo, the battle between the big food is similar to that of nomads. Relying on horseback, fighting with them, we should kill their horses and fight against each other in close combat, and our soldiers are not weak."

Modao is mostly held by infantry and is conducive to killing horses. Isn’t his words just saying that when fighting against Tubo and big food, Modao’s army has an advantage?

Unexpectedly, Tian Zhen suppressed her first and then rose, and praised her Mo Daojun indirectly. Li Jiuzhou smiled and said, "In this way, if he could get Mo Daojun to help him, he would have a greater chance of winning."

"Mr. Li stayed at the garrison of Shule, and the Modao Army under his tent may not be able to follow the army." Tian Zhen had already thought about it and wrote a compilation with his fists. "If the general does not dislike it, I would like to transfer a Modao Army from the tent and follow the general to kill the enemy."

Li Jiuzhou was naturally happy to get a team of strong support, and returned a series, "If so, that would be great."

Tian Zhen called a general in the tent to point out the troops, and then said to Li Jiuzhou: "This is the arrangement, the general will go together, and see if my guidance team can be used."

At that moment, the two walked out of the tent. After a while, the general had already ordered good people, and a team of 1,000 people stood neatly on the playground.

Tian Zhen and Li Siye were the best generals of the Tang Dynasty who were good at using Mo Dao. These soldiers were taught by Tian Zhen himself. They were all covered in armor and held long swords in their hands, with murderous auras and a rainbow of momentum.

"There are no weak soldiers under the command of the strong generals, and the Modao Army is indeed well-known." Li Jiuzhou praised repeatedly.

"General Li praised it." Tian Zhen was polite, and his eyes were shining. "This team of people will be led by the old man who played the huqin before to assist General Li."

"Old Man Zhang?" Li Jiuzhou looked at him with a little hesitation.

Tian Zhen called on the old man who had played the huqin before.

"I have seen General Li." Old Man Zhang saluted Li Jiuzhou.

"You have to be polite. Since Mr. Tian has asked you to lead the team with me, we will be considered comrades in the future." Li Jiuzhou said, and couldn't help but look at him carefully. He was a little suspicious of whether this old man could march and fight.

Old man Zhang frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Comrade-in-arms?"

Li Jiuzhou didn't explain, "Zhang..." hesitated for a moment, and still shouted, "Old man Zhang, I'm here for the first time to come to the border of the Western Regions, and I will have to work hard for you in the future."

“No need to worry, no need to worry.”

Old Man Zhang was very polite, but laughed and said, "Just just call me Lao Zhang."

Tian Zhen said from the side: "Old man Zhang has been in the fourth town of Anxi for so many years. He is the most familiar with the situation there. This is also the purpose of me asking him to accompany the general."

Looking at Old Man Zhang's hippie and smiling face, Li Jiuzhou's originally hesitant mood also relieved a lot, and he smiled and said, "I understand Old Man Zhang."

Old Man Zhang seemed to care about his name very much and hurriedly added: "Old Zhang is better than Old Man Zhang."

When Li Jiuzhou heard this, Lao Zhang and Old Man Zhang just separated the two words "old man" and muttered in his heart: Is there any difference?

"He is like this, just get used to it." Tian Zhen frowned and said to Li Jiuzhou, afraid that he would be unhappy.

Li Jiuzhou laughed: "Old man Zhang is quite interesting."

Seeing that he didn't mind, Tian Zhen also laughed: "General Li is not particular about the details, he is so free and easy."

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
