Soon after General Cen Shen reported to Gao Xianzhi, the garrison officer at the north gate of Kucha Town welcomed the imperial cavalry team who came from Chang'an.

After the garrison general was sent to the city, he sent someone to escort letters to Dadu. Therefore, before Xue Bo and his group arrived at the Protectorate Mansion, Gao Xianzhi led Cen Shen and others to greet him.

The imperial envoy who enjoyed the colorful flags flying along the way and cheered countless emperors, Lord Xue, was very proud. After seeing Gao Xianzhi, he just hugged his fists and gave up. As usual, although he was an imperial envoy, his grade was far lower than Gao Xianzhi, and he should be below the level.

The official position can only enjoy Gao Xianzhi's kneeling when reading the imperial edict. But Xue Bo is obviously used to being arrogant and does not give Gao Xianzhi any face.

If Gao Xianzhi had no personality, he would have been afraid that the Anxi Army's fangs would have to fight with the guards of Xue Qin.

After entering the backyard of the Protector's Mansion, the adjutant of the imperial envoy cavalry team breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the generals of the Tang army in the border town were domineering people, so how could they bear such a arrogant attitude? The imperial envoy was young and could not control himself.

Being so handsome!

The central building in the backyard of the Protectorate's Mansion is a two-story loft for the Protectorate to receive distinguished guests. Because he received the news in advance, Gao Xianzhi had already ordered people to prepare incense tables and yellow silk, waiting for the arrival of the imperial envoy.

Xue Bo was not polite, and as soon as he entered the attic, he took out the imperial edict and read it in public. Although Gao Xianzhi was so angry that he had to kneel down to the ground and listen to the Hadith.

In fact, the imperial edict has no substantive content. It is nothing more than the cliché of His Majesty the Emperor's praise of Gao Xianzhi's ability to defend the enemy and maintain peace on the Anxi border. Gao Xianzhi only felt that this imperial edict was long and nothing, and the time to read it was extremely difficult.

But the imperial envoy did not see the gloomy expression on the face of the tall guardian, and he was very happy to speak. After about half a cup of tea, Xue Bo finished reading the imperial edict.

After Gao Xianzhi received the order and thanked her, Xue Bocai helped Gao Xianzhi up with a hypocritical attitude and asked about his well-being.

Although Gao Xianzhi felt that Xue Bo was disgusting, he had to chat with Xue Bo with Xiao Fa, which was really painful. Fortunately, he had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had never seen anyone?

Finally, after being clichéd, Gao Xianzhi got his wish and took the seat with Xue Bo. At this time, the complicated order-receiving procedure came to an end. Xue Bo wanted to use the position of the imperial envoy to be domineering Gao Xianzhi, so he had to think carefully.

It's right.

After breathing a long breath, Gao Xianzhi picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Mr. Xue came from Chang'an, and must be exhausted. I will set up a banquet in the Protectorate's Mansion tonight to welcome Lord Xue!

”

Although Xue Bo is a arrogant master in Chang'an, after all, Gao Xianzhi's reputation is there, so he can't be too proud. He bowed slightly, and Xue Bo smiled and said without a smile: "In this way, there will be a lot of work for Gao Dadu.

Protected."

After coughing lightly, Gao Xianzhi asked tentatively: "When Lord Xue came from Chang'an, did Your Majesty say anything to you?" The imperial edict just now had almost no substantial content except for the false titles of Anxi soldiers.

. His Majesty the Emperor would never send an imperial envoy to Anxi, just to say some empty words to encourage the soldiers!

"It is said that the tall and the protectors are meticulous. At first, Xue didn't believe it, but now it seems that it is really worthy of its reputation." Xue Bo gently stroked the short beard between his jaw and smiled: "Yes, Xue came from Chang'an this time.

It is indeed accompanied by His Majesty’s handwriting!”

Although Xue Bo is still young, he is from a famous family and the elders of the clan have gained some of the demeanor of Confucian officials. His conversation was quite appropriate at this time. If the person in front of him was not Gao Xianzhi, he would be really beaten.

His momentum shook.

"His Majesty the Emperor hopes that General Gao can expand the territory and boundaries for the Tang Dynasty, and reproduce the feat of General Xue Rengui's three arrows to defeat Tianshan Mountain!" Xue Bo's eyes shot out two rays of light, and he looked at Gao Xianzhi and said with a firm voice.

Gao Xianzhi was shocked and said that this matter was finally back. He had long expected that he would never forget the matter in Hezhong, and always hoped to restore the old land of Emperor Gaozong in the Western Regions. Although the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, its military strength was no longer as strong as that of Emperor Gaozong.

So brave. What's more, what they need to face now is well-trained big-foot soldiers, rather than the Miscellaneous Hu of the River with equal combat power.

Of course, from every perspective, the Anxi Tang army's policy towards the Western Regions can only advance but not retreat. But this does not mean that it will launch a decisive battle with the Great Cannibal in the river. The total strength of the four towns in Anxi is only 50,000 or 60,000, plus one

Ten thousand Long March athletes could barely raise 60,000. Among them, there were many old, weak and remnants, and some of them had to be left to defend the city. If the war really started, the Tang army would be under great pressure.

This is the main reason why he has been observing the changes. It is not that he is Gao Xianzhi inaction, but that he is determined to kill the thief and is powerless to turn the world back!

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor would not listen to these explanations. In his opinion, the changes in territory are nothing more than an arc gently drawn by the charcoal pen on the map. As for how many people will die in the war, how many cities will be caused by war and how many cities will be caused by war.

If you destroy it, how many good fields will become unowned fields, which is not what Your Majesty thinks about. As the saying goes, a general will achieve success and thousands of bones will be destroyed. If the general is like this, don’t mention the king. The emperor will do the most.

It is the people's power. As long as the goal can be achieved, the reputation of Tian Khan's civil and military achievements and sacrifice some people may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, in this case, His Majesty the Emperor cannot write it to the world in the imperial edict, and cannot say that he is a traitor who does not spare the people's efforts...

Therefore, these words can only be said through the mouth of the imperial envoy, and no evidence can be left behind. The blame for the war can only be carried by Gao Xianzhi.

"Did Your Majesty tell me the time to start the war? Recently, Anxi has been under great pressure on the border guards of the great cannibals. The thunderbolts are being promoted to the Yechuan generation and the horses..." Although Gao Xianzhi knew that the matter could not be saved,

The old-fashioned complained about the pain. In the eyes of these politicians, it is good to get more profits.

Xue Bo snorted coldly and waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty also knows that the pressure on Anxi border is quite high, so he specially sent Tianwei Jianer to Anxi. As for the date of dispatch, Your Majesty has no limit. However, he hopes that the sooner the war, the better, and wait until the rest of the army is restored.

On the day of Xunzhou, he will be named Prince Xiping!"

Speaking of this, Xue Bo was obviously a little jealous. The Tang Dynasty rarely named ministers of the opposite sex to be kings, even Geshuhan, who was extremely favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and An Lushan was only crowned with kings after making great contributions.

Although Gao Xianzhi led the team to fight a tough battle like Xiao Bolu, no higher-level battle proved himself. This decisive battle with the cannibal is an excellent opportunity, an opportunity to prove himself.

Gao Xianzhi always thought that he was no worse than An Lushan and Geshuhan, and he would never let him go of this opportunity!

"Gao Xianzhi is willing to work hard for His Majesty the Emperor!" Gao Xianzhi clenched his fists and said word by word.
