There are always one or two types of things in the world that cannot be explained face to face, and if they are explained to one's face, it will be unclear; there are always one or two types of things in the world that can only be explained to the public at the wine table, and if they are explained to the public, they will feel at ease.
The good thing about the wine table is that you can be irresponsible in what you say on it. In other words, when the other party asks you to fulfill your previous promise, you can wave your hand and say that I am drunk and cannot be accurate!
On this point, the imperial envoy Master Xue was very accurate.
General Gao Xianzhi, the governor of Anxi, held a luxurious banquet in the governor's mansion to welcome the imperial envoy and his party. The intention was partly to make good friends and partly to explore the situation. As a big shot from Chang'an City, Xue Bo's every move represented
An attitude, an attitude from the temple.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Qing, Gao Qiaoqi, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong...
The struggle for power never stopped at all. Every time everyone in it stamped their feet, the ground in the Tang Dynasty trembled.
This is like a wonderful chess game. Both sides fight to the death, playing chess pieces against each other, and each has its own victory or defeat. As for who will have the last laugh, of course it depends on the emperor's will. The emperor's father's order can change the fate against the will of heaven. This
Isn't this attitude worthy of Gao Xianzhi's active exploration?
After several obvious inquiries, Gao Xianzhi came to a ridiculous conclusion: Xue Bo is a complete old fox. Even though he is only in his twenties, and even though he only wears the hat of a seventh-level martial arts magistrate, Xue Bo
The children raised by this family have extraordinary minds.
One thing is certain, Xue Bo has made a bet, but it does not mean that the Xue family has made a bet. You must know that for such a large family, if you want to pass on prosperity from generation to generation, you must not place the bet on one person. Share the burden evenly.
Risks and reasonable avoidance of crises are what these aristocratic families are most willing to do.
"Mr.
"That's right, that's right. I also thought that the place at the border must be cold and chilly, with a cold wind blowing on my face. Who would have thought that it would be a place of beauty and beautiful songs, with three layers of beautiful songs!" Xue Bo raised his wine glass in greeting.
"The singing and dancing here at Gao Duhu's house is no worse than that in Chang'an. To be disrespectful, the song and dance choreography of the palace's Jiaofang Division is a bit inferior to the stunning leap of the dancer in the Duhu's mansion.
"
Xue Bo took a sip of the wine and said with a smile: "Xue is really knowledgeable now. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I really feel a little happy now."
"Alas!" Gao Xianzhi hurriedly waved his hands and said: "What did Mr. Xue say? Chang'an is a place surrounded by redbuds. How can the reputation of the golden city be compared to the narrow border? Don't mention this again."
Seeing Gao Xianzhi's cautious look, Xue Bo felt amused in his heart: "Oh? General Gao is quite interesting." After a slight pause, Xue Bo continued: "I heard that General Gao has a good command of the army and all his subordinates are capable ministers.
Fierce General. Envoy Li Bingmao just went to the Western Regions a few days ago, so he must have followed General Gao's teachings."
After saying that, Xue Bo glanced at Li Kuo who was looking down. Although he said this, his eyes were full of disdain. He was just a young general with no foundation, and he would definitely not be able to achieve success!
Gao Xianzhi's face was full of pride, and he nodded and said: "General Li is indeed very resourceful. He has made great achievements during his mission to Hezhong. General Li, please see Mr. Xue soon."
Gao Xianzhi slightly tilted his head at Li Kuo, signaling him to take the initiative to say hello to Xue Bo.
When Li Kuo saw the two mentioning him, he was slightly surprised. After calming down his expression, the young man cupped his hands at Xue Bo and said, "I have seen the imperial envoy in my humble position. The mission to Hezhong is a strategy set by your majesty, and there is guidance from the commander-in-chief." , a humble position is just a matter of fulfilling one’s responsibilities and not daring to take credit.”
He was handling military affairs in Shule when he suddenly received a notification from Gao Xianzhi that an imperial envoy was coming from Chang'an and ordered the military envoys from various towns to rush to Kucha.
After handing over the affairs to a group of his confidants, he came to Kucha City with fifty light cavalry. He thought that the imperial envoy would be a lieutenant or a gray-haired veteran, but who would have thought that he would turn out to be a young man who had just lost his crown.
Xue Bo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and finally smiled and said: "General Li is too humble. If such credit cannot go to the generals, then the rewards and punishments of the Anxi Army are too unfair, right? General Gao, what do you think? Woolen cloth?"
Gao Xianzhi was annoyed at his troubles, but he had to raise his hands and said: "Yes, yes. This credit is yours, no matter what it is."
"I have an unkind request. I wonder if Protector Gao will grant it?" Xue Bo raised his eyebrows and said loudly.
"Mr.
"I want to personally participate in the battle against the great food in the river!" Xue Bo raised his voice and made a request that shocked everyone.
"Oh, this..." Gao Xianzhi was confused for a moment, and the wine glass he raised in mid-air stopped. It is not that there are no examples of civilians leading troops in the army, but Xue Bo's identity as an imperial envoy is here. If he made any mistake in the army, how would Gao Xianzhi explain it to His Majesty the Emperor?
Seemingly understanding what Gao Xianzhi was thinking, Xue Bo raised his head and said, "General Gao, there is no need to worry about my safety. I believe that with General Li's protection, I will not be harmed in the slightest!"
What, he has even thought about the military camp where he will stay temporarily! Gao Xianzhi smiled bitterly in his heart. Now that the matter has come to this, what can he do if he doesn't agree?
"General Li, do you have a problem? The imperial envoy is a valuable person, you must ensure his safety!"
Li Kuo was also shocked. He had already learned from Gao Xianzhi about the plan to march into the river and fight against Dashi, but he never thought that the imperial envoy himself would be involved.
This imperial envoy is really playful!
"There is no problem with the general. The safety of the imperial envoy will be taken care of by the general!" Although he thought so, Li Kuo had no choice. He was not directly related to Gao Xianzhi, and if he continued to mess with Nini on trivial matters, he would definitely be in his heart. Lost points.
"Well, Mr. Xue, you will temporarily stay in the Shule army and march to the river with the Anxi army!" Gao Xianzhi intended to make friends with Xue Bo and took this opportunity to sell him a favor.
Xue Bo threw the wine glass on the table and said with great pride: "The wine bottle fell from the purple thin sweat on the arm, and the autumn moon in the west of the city was broken. The Ming Dynasty star flew to seal the sword, and Cijun took Loulan overnight. In this way, Xue is willing to do something Go back to Centurion and join forces with Protector Gao and General Li to help us expand the borders of the Tang Dynasty and expand our territory!"
ps: At the end of this volume, the battle against Dashi is about to begin. I must write about the Battle of Talas. Although it is difficult, Liuyun still chooses to fight! Come on, where the rising sun is, the Tang Dynasty! Please read the next volume, Broken A while!
