Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Pfft!

After pulling the knife out of the Tibetan man's body, Gao Xianzhi leaned on the knife and knelt on one knee, breathing heavily.

Seeing the Tibetan people pouring out of the fort, I was filled with reluctance.

According to his battle plan, he would take advantage of the enemy's relaxation to climb up from the cliff and take down the entire Feiyun Castle in one fell swoop.

Then use this as a stronghold to approach the royal capital of Xiaobolu Kingdom - Niduo City!

Who would have thought that the Tubo people seemed to know his plan and deployed 30,000 ambush troops in Feiyun Castle in advance.

When they climbed up the cliff, they swooped up like a swarm of bees.

After Feng Changqing killed two Tubo soldiers, he came to Gao Xianzhi and urged him.

"General Gao, please retreat down the cliff as soon as possible!"

"No, as a general of the Anxi Army, how can I escape alone!"

Wiping away the blood on the corner of his mouth, Gao Xianzhi stood up again and said solemnly.

"Tell my brothers, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win! How can I let the Tubo kid laugh at me and there is no one in the Tang Dynasty!"

Feeling Gao Xianzhi's determination, Feng Changqing nodded with red eyes.

He said loudly to the remaining Tang Jun.

"Brothers, the brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road! Kill me!"

The next moment, more than 9,000 Tang troops rushed towards the oncoming Tibetan army like sharp swords.

As soon as the two sides met, hundreds of Tubo people died under the sharp sword.

The Tibetan general Pu Erwen frowned deeply.

The combat power of this Tang army far exceeded the opponents he had encountered before.

Although they only numbered more than 9,000 people, their morale was higher than that of his 30,000 troops.

"Daku, which part of the Tang army did they attack Feiyun Castle at night?"

Hearing this, the bald man said respectfully: "Back to the deputy governor, the Tang army fighting with our army came from the four towns of Anxi."

"It turns out to be the famous Anxi Army. No wonder they are so powerful in combat. It's really rare in my life."

Puerwen exclaimed twice and was about to order his subordinates to increase their attack when the battlefield ahead suddenly changed.

I saw the Tibetan army, which had been extremely fast before, fleeing towards the way they came, like a defeated flock of sheep.

"Damn trash, how dare you flee! Where is the supervising team, come up to me!"

Seeing this scene, Pu Erwen's face turned livid, and he directly pulled out a knife and chopped off the head of a deserter.

It's a pity that it didn't play any role in the face of the overwhelming defeat. Lian Yong and the supervising team were soon overwhelmed by the fleeing army.

"Haha, brothers, the Tubo people are timid, kill them!"

Feng Changqing laughed loudly, covered his exposed intestines with one hand, and chased the Tubo people with the Mo knife.

Because his body was stained red with blood, he looked like a god of death crawling out of hell from a distance.

"Come here, hold Feng Changqing down quickly and take him back to heal his injuries. Damn, this guy is killing me again!"

After defeating the Tubo people, Gao Xianzhi sat down on the ground. At this time, he had at least a dozen wounds on his body.

But all this is nothing compared to the results.

"General Gao, we have won! Nine thousand versus thirty thousand!"

Feng Changqing broke away from the military doctor and ran to Gao Xianzhi and said excitedly.

Although the Anxi Army is powerful, this is the first time they have achieved such a result of nine thousand defeating thirty thousand!
"Yes, we won!"

Gao Xianzhi stood up tremblingly, glanced at the scarred Tang Army soldiers one by one, slowly raised the Mo Dao in his hand and said loudly.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Anxi Army!"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Anxi Army!" Thousands of soldiers raised their weapons and shouted.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the Anxi Army!"

The rumbling sound passed through the battlefield, pierced the sky, and swayed in all directions.

Oh oh oh!
The horn sounded, and a troop of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, mixed with smoke and dust, came towards Feiyun Castle.

The smiles that Gao Xianzhi and others had just shown froze on their faces.

"General Gao, here comes another Tibetan army!" Feng Changqing said bitterly after swallowing his saliva.

"Go down with the order and form a formation to meet the enemy!"

Gao Xianzhi took a deep breath and his eyes became firm again.

Fortunately, their solemnity did not last long this time. When a yellow flag embroidered with the Chinese character Tang appeared in sight, everyone was stunned.

"Look! It's General Li's Feilong Camp and Huben Camp!"

As the distance between the two parties got closer, more and more people saw clearly the identity of the visitor.

Call!
The general suddenly reined in his horse, jumped off his horse and strode to the hillside, knelt down on one knee and said.

"The last general Li Siye meets General Gao!"

"Get up."

After helping Li Siye up, Gao Xianzhi frowned.

"General Li, I ordered you to garrison Sole City to attract the main Tibetan forces. Why did you come back with your troops?"

"Yes, Lao Li, we thought that the 30,000 Tibetan army retreated because we received news that you occupied Sole City." Feng Changqing said while lying on the stretcher.

Hearing this, Li Siye's smile faltered and he spoke in a complicated tone.

"Forget it, we fell into the Tubo's trick during our night attack on Sole City."

"This guy Qimeng led an army of 70,000 and surrounded us. At the critical moment, King Yan saved us."

"Fan Xin?"

The generals were startled and looked at each other, as if they did not expect that the legendary figure of the Tang Dynasty would appear here.

Gao Xianzhi's heart moved and he asked.

"Siye, you met Fan Xin!"

"See you, King Yan seems to appreciate me very much and doesn't let the Youzhou army embarrass me."

Seeing Gao Xianzhi hesitate to speak, Li Siye knew what he was thinking and said with relief.

"Don't worry, the supervisor was shot to death by the Tibetan people when they broke out of the siege. No one will tell this."

Gao Xianzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the supervisor was dead.

"It's better to die, otherwise our lives may not be safe if this matter reaches His Majesty's ears."

"Try not to meet King Yan again in the future. According to the current relationship between the monarch and his ministers, it won't be long before there is a showdown."

"When the civil war breaks out, the Anxi Army will inevitably face the Youzhou Army."

Li Siye, Feng Changqing and others were shocked and somewhat disbelieving.

"No, Fan Xin is also the King of Yan of the Tang Dynasty. He shouldn't go against His Majesty, right?"

Gao Xianzhi didn't expect these simple-minded guys to understand human speech.

He said calmly.

"You don't understand Fan Xin. He is just like today's emperor. He is a lonely and arrogant person at heart. He has never looked down upon anyone except the Supreme Emperor."

"Even the current emperor is no exception. Do you think His Majesty's character would allow such a person to exist?"

The generals shook their heads, knowing that Li Longji would definitely get rid of Fan Xin, a serious nuisance.

Now it's just that the powerful enemy Tubo has delayed the showdown.

"Okay, let's clean up the battlefield. We will go to Shi Kingdom and Cheshi Kingdom tomorrow."

"Get rid of these restless guys and then make plans."

"This general always feels that something is wrong with the Tibetan people, as if they are brewing some huge conspiracy!"

Gao Xianzhi looked at the distant sky and sighed.

……

Xiaobolu Kingdom, Nieduo City
"Quick, pack your things and retreat!" Groups of Tibetan troops on the street ran in panic towards the outside of the city.

Seeing the Tubo people who were about to evacuate, Su Sisi was frightened.

"Great Protector, if you just leave like this, what will we do?" "If the Tang Dynasty knows that this king has signed an alliance with you, they will kill me."

Qimeng turned around and glanced at Su Weili, frowning.

"King Bolu, don't worry. The Tang Dynasty says that the nations of the world will not do anything to you."

"When we come back in the future, we will help you restore your country, come on!"

After saying that, he waved his riding whip and walked away.

Looking at the backs of the Tubo people, Su Shuiwei even wanted to die.

As soon as he signed the treaty with the Tubo people, the Tang army invaded the city. This was really bad luck.

"Forget it, King, I have said before that the Tubo people are unreliable, and in terms of strength, they must be the Tang army." Henai said, stroking his beard.

"Yes, yes, only the Tang Dynasty can be relied upon. All the wise men, follow me out of the city to meet the Tang envoy!"

In order to leave a good impression on Datang, Su Shuiwei personally took all the officials to the city gate to greet him.

When they saw tens of thousands of murderous Tang troops standing outside the city, they took a deep breath in their hearts.

Good guy, no wonder the Tibetans ran away without even farting.

It turns out that the Tang army was so mighty and domineering.

As soon as he thought of this, Su Shuiwei no longer hesitated and immediately bowed to caress his chest.

"Dear General of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Wang welcomes you on behalf of the people."

The crowd parted, and Fan Xin rode up to Su Shuiwei.

"Are you the one who surrendered to the Tubo people, Xiao Bojin and Wang Su failed?"

"When the envoy returned to the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Wang was also forced to..."

bass!
A cold light flashed, and Su Faili's head flew high into the air, with a smile still on his face until he landed.

Looking at the subjects of Xiaobolu who caused the commotion, Fan Xin said calmly.

"A coward who betrays his country and seeks glory is not worthy of being your king. From today on, the bravest man will be the king!"

After saying that, he shook the reins and entered the palace of Niduo City. I heard that the Tang army was coming.

Princess Chimalu of Tubo took the initiative to come to the main hall and stared at Fan Xin with red eyes.

"My lord, do you want to kill this bitch?" Liu Zi aimed at the woman's breasts with evil intentions.

"I hate sacrificing women for marriage the most in my life. Give her five ounces of money to drive out of Xiaobolu Kingdom."

"My lord, you are too soft-hearted." Liuzi reluctantly took out a few strings of copper coins from his purse and threw them to Chimalu.

"Let's go, we adults don't plan to kill you anymore!"

The Tubo princess looked at the copper coins in her hand, with a smile on her lips.

After that, they hit the stone pillar in their surprised eyes.

"My lord, this woman was hit and killed." Liuzi said with a pity look on his face.

Fan Xin sighed softly.

"A woman who knows the justice of her family and country, but it's a pity that she married a weakling like Su Shuiwei."

"Let's give her a grand burial in the name of the Tubo princess."

Just when Niduo City was boosted by the new king's accession to the throne, Gao Xianzhi also arrived here with an army of 30,000.

"Oh, I can finally take a break after working hard for so long." A chamberlain said with a smile while riding on a horse.

Hearing this, Gao Xianzhi hesitated and said.

"Eunuch Wei, this place is garrisoned by the Youzhou Army. We should go to another city to rest."

He was worried that having too much contact with Fan Xin would arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Wei Dayuan glanced at him and said displeased.

"I'm telling you, General Gao, the Zajia family is no match for strong men like you. Your bones will fall apart after being bumpy on the road for so long."

"You don't need to say anything. Just rest in Niduo City for the next two days."

“Just in time to try the delicious food here.”

Seeing the greedy look on Wei Jianjun's face, Gao Xianzhi shook his head and walked towards the city gate.

When the city gate guard saw the Anxi Army coming, he took out a portrait from his arms and compared it, then raised his head and asked.

"May I ask if you are General Gao Xianzhi, the military commander of the Four Towns of Anxi?"

"Exactly, you are?"

"To be honest, general, I am the commander of the cavalry camp of the Youzhou Army. On the order of His Highness King Yan, I specially invite you to the palace for a banquet."

"Fan Xin!"

Wei Jianjun narrowed his eyes when he heard the name and looked at Gao Xianzhi with deep meaning.

Before the trip, the senior manager specifically told him to be optimistic about the Anxi Army and not let them have any contact with Fan Xin.

Now it seems that Eunuch Gao is really good at predicting things and guessing that there will be something fishy between the two of them.

Sensing Wei Jianjun's eyes, Gao Xianzhi felt a chill in his heart and said hurriedly.

"Thank you for your kindness, His Highness King Yan. The general is in charge and has no time to attend the banquet. Come on!" After saying that, he hurriedly entered the city.

As night fell, Gao Xianzhi and his party stayed in the hotel.

Prepare to go to the palace early tomorrow morning to appease the kings and ministers of Xiaobolu.

Dang Dang Dang!
"Is General Gao here? I have been ordered to invite you to a restaurant for a banquet."

Gao Xianzhi's face darkened and he snorted.

"Go back and tell King Yan that he doesn't have to worry about it. This general will not go to see him."

There was silence outside the door for a moment before he spoke.

"General Gao has misunderstood. He is a follower of Zhang Xian, the governor of the Fourth Town of Anxi. If you don't believe me, please read the invitation."

"Oh? Ambassador Zhang Jiedu is here too?" Gao Xianzhi was stunned, stood up, opened the door and took the letter from his entourage. The handwriting on it was not Zhang Xian's or someone else's.

Gao Xianzhi can deny face to others, but not his immediate boss.

"Just wait a moment while I, the general, change my clothes."

After closing the door, Gao Xianzhi changed into his regular clothes and followed his entourage out of the hotel.

When he went out, he happened to meet Wei Jianjun who was returning from drinking.

"Hey, isn't this General Gao? Where are you going at this late hour?"

"This is Eunuch Wei. At the end of the day, I will go to the restaurant to meet the envoy Zhang Xian."

"Zhang Xian also came to Niduo City?"

"Yes, I just heard about it, General."

Wei Jianjun's expression changed, and he stepped out of the way with a smile.

"Since Zhang Jiedu is here, General Gao should hurry up and don't waste time."

"Farewell."

Watching Gao Xianzhi leave, several chamberlains whispered.

"Eunuch Wei, Zhang Xian just went to Luoyang a few days ago. How could he come here? Is General Gao going to see..."

"Hey, it's not that easy to deceive the Zajia family." Wei Jianjun sneered and followed quietly.

Inn, second floor.

"General Gao, Commander Zhang Jiedu is waiting for you inside, please!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Nodding to his entourage, Gao Xianzhi opened the door and walked in.

However, before he could clearly see who was coming into the room, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fainted.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xianzhi fainted, what should we do next?" Liu Zi clapped his hands and asked.

"He helped him sit on the wine table with his back to the door, and for a while he asked Lao Ba to imitate his accent.

"I want Wei Jianjun to listen to Gao Xianzhi's heartfelt words!"
