After leaving Chang'an, the dusk gradually faded away, the sky had dimmed, and the convoy had not stopped and slowly headed west.

The escorted officers and soldiers also stationed in Lingzhou together during this trip, and for them, they also left their hometown.

Li Jiuzhou, Feng Wenjing and Zhang Xiaoluo were riding in two carriages, one in front and one behind. Zhang Xiaoluo didn't go far away, and curiously lifted the curtains and watched everywhere.

Old Man Zhang caught Li Jiuzhou's car and knocked on the window.

"Why do you arrange for me when you arrive in Lingzhou?" Old Man Zhang's smiled voice came to the carriage.

"Just drink with wine, what else do you want?" Li Jiuzhou lifted the curtain of the car, and a casual feeling appeared in his words.

Old Man Zhang smiled gently and asked sincerely: "When you arrive in Lingzhou, you have the final say. Don't you plan to reward my brother with one or two positions?"

Li Jiuzhou knew he was joking. If he wanted to be fame, he would not follow him without any benefit and whispered: "What official position do you want?"

"It should be a good idea to be a deputy governor." Old Man Zhang's expression was very comfortable.

Li Jiuzhou gave him a blank look and pulled onto the curtain of the car.

Old Man Zhang increased his tone and said, "I said, when you arrive in Lingzhou, how do you plan to appease the morale of the army?"

"You think there is a mutiny." Li Jiuzhou opened the curtain of the car, "This is just an excuse to transfer me to Lingzhou. When you get there, you will have delicious food and drinks. Of course, you will be indispensable for good wine."

"If I hadn't been with you, I wouldn't have been lazy to follow you." Old Man Zhang joked with this illogical explanation.

Li Jiuzhou narrowed his eyes and looked away, waved his hand to call a guard, and asked softly: "When will we arrive in Lingzhou?"

"I will arrive in three days when I return to the Jiedushi. With me waiting, there will be no accidents on the way."

These escorted guards are all chosen by thousands of people, and the safety of the road can be guaranteed.

Li Jiuzhou vaguely guessed that there should be an emperor or Yang Guozhong among them to be arranged by him and went to Lingzhou to monitor his actions.

The convoy had been heading northwest for a day. At this time, the sun gradually hid in the mountains. The light at dusk was a little dim. The convoy stopped beside a large forest. Seeing that everyone was tired from rushing, Li Jiuzhou ordered to pause here first and take a rest.

The leading guard looked around and walked to Li Jiuzhou's carriage and said respectfully: "Report to the Jiedushi, a group of people rushed us in the distance. Should you come forward and stop me?"

Because these guards were going to obey Li Jiuzhou in Lingzhou in the future, they called Li Jiuzhou the governor.

It’s hard to say whether they will be their own people in the future. It’s too early to call themselves the governor. Li Jiuzhou smiled and said, “We only go our own way, don’t worry about him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, several horses rushed over like arrows, bringing dust all the way.

The earth roared and shook, and everyone stared at the coming horse team.

The group of iron cavalry lined up in an orderly manner, a team of well-trained heavy armored cavalry, flying in dust, with a tall head and a big horse, a bright flag, reflecting the two big words "Hexi".

The person I knew was already a little shocked.

Old man Zhang put down the wine gourd in his hand and praised: "Good, I heard that Hexi Jiedushi Geshuhan was strict in governing the army, and his iron cavalry was good at fighting. When I saw him today, he would be worthy of his reputation."

When Li Jiuzhou heard this, he was also curious and stood up and looked over.

It turned out that Ge Shuhan, a famous general who shocked Tubo and threatened the three armies, had heard that he was a powerful general in the Tang Dynasty and did not want to meet him here today.

Geshuhan was rich and righteous, and many soldiers admired him. In the early years, Tubo invaded the border. Geshuhan struggled to resist at sea. Three opponents of infantry swarmed down from a high place. Geshuhan attacked his vanguard with half a gun, and was invincible. All three enemy infantry were defeated, which made him famous.

Whenever the wheat ripening season, Tubo often went deep into Jishi Army and other villages to capture wheat, but the Tang army could not resist, so that Jishi Army and other places were called "Tuba Maizhuang", and no one dared to resist them. After Geshuhan took office, he secretly led troops to Jishi Army and set up ambush waiting for the Tubo Army.

Five thousand Tubo cavalry arrived. Geshuhan led the brave soldiers in the city to attack quickly, killing almost all the Tubo cavalry. Some of the remaining fled. The ambushed soldiers intercepted and attacked halfway, and did not escape. Geshuhan was good at using spears. After catching up with the Tubo army, he put a gun on the shoulders of the soldiers and scolded the other party. The Tubo army turned around in fear. Geshuhan stabbed the gun in the throat, lifted the person up three to five feet and then fell down. No one was immortal.

The team he brought was the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry. A team of Iron Cavalry was mighty, with a rainbow of momentum and movements that were exactly the same. It had already arrived in front of Li Jiuzhou.

Geshuhan turned over and got off the horse. He saw Li Jiuzhou's dress at first sight. He immediately ran to the front and bowed and said, "I happened to be here to do business. I heard that the new Shuofang Jiedushi went to take office. I came to see the style."

Li Jiuzhou replied with a greeting and said politely: "I have long admired the reputation of the Hexi Jiedushi. I have long wanted to visit him. I don't want to meet him here today. I just watched these iron cavalry, which is really amazing."

"I have heard of Mr. Li's previous incidents for a long time. I have always admired Mr. Li as a human being." Ge Shuhan was simply polite, turned around and shouted, "Come on, bring wine."

The two soldiers handed over two wine bags, and Geshuhan took one and handed it to Li Jiuzhou, "This place is simple and there is no good hospitality. I'll toast you with this wine."

Geshuhan is a Turkic person with the toughness and straightforwardness of nomadic peoples.

He originally had a wealth of wealth, he was handsome and chivalrous, loved to make promises, and even drank. He lived in the capital for three years and was despised and neglected by Chang'an Wei. After being moved, Geshuhan became angry and changed his ambitions and joined the army in Hexi.

Such a man who has always hated evil and admired his righteousness after hearing what Li Jiuzhou did, so he came in person to meet this hero.

Seeing that he was so happy, Li Jiuzhou pulled out the plug and tilted his head and started drinking. Ge Shuhan laughed and started drinking too.

Such a character made Li Jiuzhou think of Xiao Feng in Jin Yong's novel. After drinking, he threw away his wine bag and praised him sincerely: "If the generals of the Tang Dynasty were like you, who would dare to invade my territory?"

Geshuhan said sternly: "A man should serve his country. As long as he is willing to contribute to his country, he will be brave and brave. Even if a scholar who is powerless and can sacrifice his life for the country, I respect him."

Li Jiuzhou couldn't help but bow his head slightly. His figure in front of Ge Shuhan was indeed worthy of what he said was powerless.

"I have something to tell Li Jiedushi so that you can manage the army after you arrive in Lingzhou." After drinking, Ge Shuhan went straight to the point.

Geshu Han was originally a good military officer. Li Jiuzhou heard that he had something to tell himself about the military, and he was just about managing the military. He clarified his expression and listened carefully.
