After staying in Lingzhou for only one day, the army set off again.

After getting the Modao team of Tian Zhenshuo’s Fang Army, Li Jiuzhou was full of fighting spirit and rode his horse forward.

Wan Nanshan slapped the horse whip, rode his horse to catch up, pointed at Old Man Zhang behind, and said to Li Jiuzhou: "Looking at the old man's appearance, can he fight?"

Li Jiuzhou glanced back. At this time, Old Man Zhang was carrying a huqin and was taking off the wine gourd from his waist. He sniffed a mouthful of joy. His thief eyes turned up and down, looking around, looking around, and he couldn't stand it when he saw it.

The expression of lowness that he wanted to step on his feet was not as good as a marching and fighting man.

"You should not behave like a person. Since Mr. Tian asked him to help me, he must have a special advantage." Li Jiuzhou comforted Wan Nanshan and himself.

"I'm afraid that his extraordinary talent could not be due to his huqin killing the enemy." Wannanshankou was quite disdainful.

"Okay, don't doubt the employment of people. Don't say more and urge people to move forward faster."

The horse team, infantry, knife team, and archers were covered in dust and dusty faces, and were tortured by the dry and cold climate of the Northwest.

"Everyone, go faster, don't delay the march." Wannanshan general Ma Chi to the side of the man carrying the military flag and shouted at the crowd. Although he was not a general, he looked like a general.

Ten thousand troops marched to the west against the wind and sand, which was a bit more vigorous than before going to Nanzhao.

The area is wide and I don’t know how many days I have traveled, and I can vaguely see the flags with the words “Anxi” flying in the distance.

Li Jiuzhou looked over the end of the horizon, and several blurred figures in the wind and sand gradually became clear. From a distance, several figures in armor slowly walked towards him, and their voices were galloping along.

The wind came: "Welcome General Li."

He has arrived at Jiaohe City, the residence of Anxi Protectorate, and Gao Xianzhi is here.

Since the second year of Longshuo, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have repeatedly fought for the four towns of Anxi. Here, they have changed hands several times, and their experiences have been filled with wind and frost.

I have seen it in Chang'an before. Gao Xianzhi took the lead and personally brought people out of the city to greet him.

"I heard that the general of the gatekeeper was Li Jun before, so I was so happy." Gao Xianzhi had a good impression of Li Jiuzhou, and this was not flattery.

He was afraid that the court would send another eunuch or a delicate civil servant to supervise the army, which would have been in the way and affected the war.

Gao Xianzhi was relieved when he learned that the military supervisor was Li Jiuzhou, thinking that even if Li Jiuzhou would not fight, he would not drag him down.

Before Li Jiuzhou arrived, he spoke first: "Long time no see, I don't expect the border to be so turbulent."

It was difficult to explain clearly after a few words, so Gao Xianzhi welcomed him into the city and led him directly to the mansion.

"The memorial from Gao Jiedushi was really hard to do." As soon as he met, Li Jiuzhou deliberately pierced the window paper.

Gao Xianzhi heard what he said, so he hurriedly stepped back.

"It's said that this black food is very damning." Gao Xianzhi said hatefully.

Li Jiuzhou also said seriously: "Heng Luosi's revenge must be avenged!"

This was an irritating point that Gao Xianzhi was eager to take revenge and wanted to try to provoke a war, which was intentionally aroused him.

Secondly, I am very patriotic and think that eating a big meal in black is abominable, so I must teach you some lessons.

Gao Xianzhi was a little embarrassed and called out to pick up tea.

After a moment, a small man slowly came in with a teacup.

Seeing that he was a foreign country, Li Jiuzhou said: "The army of Gao Jiedushi can be said to be a joint army of all ethnic groups."

Gao Xianzhi replied: "General Li doesn't know anything. However, there are few Han people in Anxi, and most of them are from Western countries."

The young man put the one whom he held on the table, took a cup and handed it to Li Jiuzhou, and then took another cup and handed it to Gao Xianzhi.

"General Li uses tea." Gao Xianzhi picked up the tea cup and sipped it lightly.

Suddenly, a knife light flashed in front of me.

The young man actually took out a dagger from his sleeve, jumped over and stabbed Gao Xianzhi.

Li Jiuzhou unconsciously shouted, "Be careful!"

Punched to the chest and approached the chest. Gao Xianzhi had reached out and held the dagger tightly, allowing the young man to stab him in no way.

Before Li Jiuzhou could rush over, Gao Xianzhi shouted loudly and slashed the little master's head with a palm. The little master fell to the ground, shook a few times, and then died.

Li Jiuzhou was shocked. He was always heard that Gao Xianzhi was brave and good at fighting. He didn't expect that he could kill people with one palm. Such divine power is worthy of being a powerful general.

Gao Xianzhi seemed to be fine. Seeing Li Jiuzhou's shocked expression, he explained: "There are many people who want my life. Such as assassination happens from time to time, and I am used to it."

After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Come, drag him out."

Li Jiuzhou stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

It turns out that although Gao Xianzhi was a famous general, he was harsh on his rule, because he was originally a Goguryeo and was eager to make contributions. During his time in command of the Anxi Protectorate, he used many methods, including one of them: instigating conflicts between various small countries.

, in order to achieve checks and balances, and prevent one from dominating the country.

This move has been tried and done, but he was hated by some small countries and often sent people to secretly assassinate him.

"Hao Gong Gao is fine?" After a while, a man in armor walked in quickly.

Li Jiuzhou looked up and saw that the man was thin and blinking constantly, as if he had eye disease, but he exuded a divine power. Although his appearance was not good, his temperament was outstanding.

The man also looked at Li Jiuzhou and asked hesitantly: "Is this the general of the sergeant?"

All the people who marched and fought were heroes. Li Jiuzhou did not dare to look down on him and said, "I am Li Jiuzhou."

The man deeply summarized: "Feng Changqing met General Li."

Li Jiuzhou thought to himself that this person was Feng Changqing, the deputy chief guardian of Anxi. Why is he so mediocre? It is really different from Gao Xianzhi's tall and handsomeness.

It is rumored that every time Gao Xianzhi sent troops, he would bring dozens of attendants and his clothes were bright and beautiful.

Feng Changqing was therefore moved and asked to be a servant, but Gao Xianzhi looked down on his appearance and did not accept him.

As a result, Feng Changqing submitted a letter again the next day, and Gao Xianzhi said to him: "I have enough servants, why do you want to come again?"

Feng Changqing was angry and said, "I admire your high righteousness and are willing to serve you, so no one has introduced me. Why do you have to refuse? Judging people by their appearance, I am afraid that they will lose someone like Ziyu. You should consider it.

.”

Gao Xianzhi still didn't accept him, so he came to the door every day to wait. Gao Xianzhi had no choice but to accept him as his attendant.

I don’t know whether this rumor is true or false, but it is enough to show Feng Changqing’s character, and Li Jiuzhou also admires it very much.

At this time, Feng Changqing was already the deputy captain of Anxi, so Li Jiuzhou did not dare to neglect him and regarded him and Gao Xianzhi as the same person. Both of them were famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the two, on the battlefield, he was just a primary school student

That's it.
