Since childhood, the young man’s memories of the Tang army have always been infinitely beautiful. (, novels are faster and better...) Whenever his parents and elders mention the Tang army, they always praise it with a proud and admirable tone. Under the influence of the eyes, the young man should have believed that the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, and the Tang army is a rare enemy in the world. Now, such an invincible and powerful Tang army has been defeated, and it has been defeated so thoroughly and so miserably! At this moment, the young man’s heart is as if he was eaten by a group of ants, and it is hard to suffer!
Despite this, he had to show full calmness to soothe the mood of these defeated soldiers. This torment from the ice and fire is not something that ordinary people can easily tolerate. But Li Kuo had no choice at this time. Since he chose to take responsibility, he could not choose to give up halfway because of the pain.
"It's okay, it's all over. It's good if you come back, it's good if you come back." Li Kuo waved his hand generously, trying to make himself more relaxed: "Where is Gao Shuai and the others? Didn't the Central Army start a fire after the rebellion of the Geluo people? Why did Gao Shuai and the others break through?"
The Fire Chief obviously didn't know so many details, and scratched his head and said, "I don't know this, but with his high-selling temperament, he would have to compete with the cannibals even if he was defeated. He would never allow the reputation of the Anxi Army to fall into his hands!"
The Huo Chang was probably afraid that Li Kuo would misunderstand Gao Xianzhi and was afraid that the enemy would flee, so he hurriedly said for him: "Besides, there is General Li Siye next to Gao Shuai. He is a famous enemy of thousands of people. He should be a person blocking and killing people, and the Buddha blocking and killing Buddha! With him guarding beside Gao Shuai, the ordinary thousands of big-food cavalry could not get close to Gao Shuai's body."
Most of these soldiers were direct descendants trained by Gao Xianzhi, and they received more or less favors from Gao Xianzhi. Even if the Battle of Talas was defeated in this battle, they would not reduce their trust in Gao Xianzhi. In their eyes, Gao Xianzhi was always the famous general who swept across the 36 countries of the Western Regions, suppressed the Turks, and intensified the Tubo, and was as famous as Li Yaoshi.
Knowing that they could not ask any useful information, Li Kuo rushed to the left and right and said, "Take your brothers back to Julan City, and let them live in our military camp for the time being." After a slight pause, Li Kuo said, "Please take good care of them, don't neglect them."
"As for order!" The confidant of the Tongwu Camp conquered the defeated soldiers and led them to the path to Julan City. These defeated soldiers hid on the road during the day and went out at night, and were extremely humiliated. How could they not be happy to be taken care of by the brothers at this moment? Some young soldiers even shed tears and walked away in a row.
"Brother Kuoer, do we really have to wait here?" Zhang Yanji turned halfway and asked in a low voice: "These soldiers are scattered and there is no accurate letter to each other. It is not a solution for us to waste here."
Li Kuo sighed, "You are right, I'm not relieved to put your brothers in the city. So, you and Wuzui are waiting here, I'll go back to Julan City."
"Well, that's fine, then Brother Kuoer, be careful!" Zhang Yanji nodded, watching Li Kuo turn over and whip away.
As soon as Li Kuo returned to the city, he received a message from Wang Xiaochun, asking him to go to the palace immediately.
The young man thought it was Li Huaizhong, the lord of Julan, who had something to do to find him, so he brought a hundred confidants into the palace without stopping. Since Li Huaizhong had said first, Li Kuo could clear the palace ban. In a short while, he entered the palace from the side door and rushed to the main hall where he had been to the banquet last night. After some communication, Li Kuo brought Dou Qing, Wang Xiaochun, Pu Dachui and other confidants into the palace room.
Because the doors and windows were closed in the hall, although it was dark during the day, Li Kuo was confused and he couldn't help but feel suspicious. The young man placed his right hand tightly on the scabbard, ready to deal with possible mutations at any time. Although Li Huaizhong showed great respect to him in front of others, he was the lord of a country after all, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not have any minor thoughts. The young man would never take it lightly and hand over his destiny to others.
He then walked for more than ten steps with his breath holding his mind. A red candle suddenly lit up in the hall, making the hall clear.
"Papapapapapapa!" After three crisp sounds, a group of people walked out of the back door of the hall. The leader was Li Huaizhong, the king of Julan, followed by a group of civil and military officials. Li Kuo was about to come forward to find out what the guy was doing, but his expression trembled and exclaimed in surprise.
"Gao Shuai!Gao Shuai!" The young man walked forward several times and hugged Gao Xianzhi's arms tightly: "Is Gao Shuai really you? We gathered the defeated soldiers outside the city, but I didn't expect you to enter the city first!"
Li Kuo was too excited and used too much force to grin.
The boy realized his incompetence and quickly let go of his hands and said, "Ship, look at me, I'm too excited for a moment."
"Hey, no one knows your temperament, don't I know? No need to explain, I don't blame you." Gao Xianzhi shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know if you have come to the direction of Julan City, so I always walk and stop along the way, and the itinerary was delayed." Speaking of this, Gao Xianzhi looked at Li Huaizhong secretly, then smiled and said, "But since you are in this city now, I don't need to be so cautious anymore."
In just a short moment, the boy's mental journey has experienced many ups and downs, and it was not until this time that he was able to let go. I think this must be the idea that Li Huaizhong came up with to take the opportunity to please Gao Shuai!
"Sir Gao, how many soldiers have you brought back this time? If there are too many people, the military camp in the city may not be able to stay. If you need it, I will immediately ask my brothers to free up the barracks."
Li Kuo was too excited for a moment and actually danced and didn't notice the black line of Gao Xianzhi's brow.
"Cough cough!" Gao Xianzhi covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "This is not a big deal. I think this city of Julan is not small. Ten thousand soldiers must be able to accommodate them. Besides, I have asked Siye to place most of the soldiers outside the city." He deliberately bit the word "10,000", for fear that the boy would not hear it clearly, so he continued to pester them.
Only then did Li Kuo understand what Gao Shuai meant. It turned out that he had not brought back many soldiers this time. No wonder he was so careful all the way and stopped and fell behind him! Gao Shuai did not report the real number of people he brought back, so he definitely did not want Li Huaizhong to be suspicious, and his remarks just now almost missed it!
Li Kuo didn't know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Li Huaizhong stood up at the right time and said, "Gao Da Protector, Governor Li, the victory of the army is a great joy. We can't just stand and chat, we must celebrate well. I had already had a banquet last night, and it was inappropriate to hold a banquet in the palace. In this way, Xiao Wang, I will be the host tonight, and I will take Governor Gao and Governor Li to gather at Mingyue Pavilion in the city. What do you think?"
If Li Huaizhong had put this tone in the past, Gao Xianzhi would have been furious. But now it is not the same as before. The soldiers he brought back are less than two thousand. If he is still on the territory of others, what capital can he have to save his face? Besides, he was exhausted after the war, so he could take this opportunity to soothe his spirit. After calming down, Gao Xianzhi gently stroked the short beard on his jaw and said, "In this way, Mr. Gao has thanked Master Li here."
When did Li Huaizhong get such courtesy as Gao Xianzhi? This time he was already happy in his heart and said repeatedly: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. Xiao Wang is just, well, just a little bit of the friendship of the landlord."
Li Huaizhong's eyes rolled a few times, and when he thought of a word Tang Yan, he hurriedly came out.
"It's not a landlord, but you must have a meal at this table. Don't say that I'm poor, you can't tell me!" Gao Xianzhi pointed at Li Huaizhong lightly and laughed loudly.
"Eat endlessly, eat endlessly! Gao Dupu, you can lead your army to Julan City, is Xiao Wang's blessing."
Li Huaizhong was already happy, squeezed his crescent moon and smiled, and slapped the horses continuously
