A chicken is rare in life.

On the premise that their respective interests are not violated, Gu Qing felt that he could become a confidant with Geshuhan and share the same blessings and share the same difficulties.

However, Ge Shuhan obviously didn't think so. From his expression, he seemed to be more resistant, especially resisting and tying Gu Qing's fingers.

After struggling hard for a while, he couldn't break free. Ge Shuhan had to cough twice and look at Gu Qing.

"Gu Jieshuai, you can withdraw your troops and drink, but you don't have to play "High Mountains and Flowing Water"..."

Gu Qing said with the flow: "It's okay not to play. Gu actually doesn't understand the rhythm. With Ge Shu Jie's handsome and rough temperament, I guess he can't understand it, haha, that's all."

Turning his head to look at Li Siye, Gu Qing waved his hand and said, "Retreat quickly, don't let my friendship with Geshu Jieshuai cast an unclean shadow."

Li Siye looked at Ge Shuhan again, and reluctantly clasped his fists and said, "Abide by the general's order."

After riding his horse back to the front, Li Siye conveyed Gu Qing's order, and the Anxi army immediately retreated like a tide.

The Hexi Army on the opposite side finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They are all border soldiers who have experienced bloody battles on the battlefield. When the two armies confront each other, they can have a premonition of winning or losing. We have to admit that the Hexi Army today cannot be an opponent of the Anxi Army no matter what.

The Anxi Army's multiple armies configurations, the prohibited military discipline, and the momentum of a long rainbow, are far better than the Hexi Army.

Not to mention anything else, the three thousand Modao hands of the Anxi Army's vanguard were terrifying. Once the Modao Camp was launched and the Modao was waving and the Modao was advanced forward, the number of casualties of the Hexi Army in front of the Modao Camp was unimaginable.

Fortunately, everyone is the army of the Tang Dynasty, and fortunately the commanders of both sides are willing to sit down and chat, otherwise it will be out of control. Once the two sides start war, today will be the day when the Anxi Army will be bloody about the Hexi Army.

The Anxi Army had retreated, so Geshuhan was naturally not a ungrateful person, so he ordered the Hexi Army to retreat and retreat to Yumen Pass, leaving only some personal guards to protect the servants from afar.

The two armies retreated, and there was no one outside Yumen Pass, leaving only a pergola and a desolate and timeless picture of the endless yellow sand for thousands of miles? Like a totem engraved on a stone tablet? Leave a hint of clue to future generations to find ancient thoughts.

In the awning, two Jiedushi, who were in charge of the northwest half of the Tang Dynasty, sat opposite each other? In this desolate picture, gathered together and talked about business secretly.

"The Anxi Army pays money and food, and my Hexi Army sends people? This..." Geshuhan touched the messy beard under his jaw and said hesitantly: "Isn't this a deal for human traffickers? And the soldiers of my Hexi Army are still selling? I always feel that it doesn't seem like a human being doing..."

"Be confident? Remove the word 'soon'..." Gu Qing subconsciously said aloof, and then quickly changed his words: "Jingshou is too worried, and he says something unpleasant. Your situation should be bigger? Anxi and Hexi are both important court towns? Every year, the court's military headquarters will exchange troops and supplement them. What we do is to exchange hundreds or thousands of people in private. Gu will also submit a memorial to Your Majesty to make it clear. Your Majesty will not refuse to agree to this small matter."

"With the Hexi Army having money and food? Can the morale of the army be stabilized. Is the general Jie a soldier? You should know what the consequences will be for the shortage of food in the army? Use only hundreds of people to exchange for the morale of the Hexi Army? Isn't this deal worthwhile?"

Gu Qing's voice was full of bewitching. Ge Shuhan frowned and pondered for a long time? He said slowly: "Is that suitable? I'm afraid of the emperor of Chang'an..."

"Will I submit a memorial to the emperor? Anxi faces Dashi and Tubo directly. The pressure is greater than that of the Hexi army and requires a better source of troops. After I examine the pros and cons in the memorial, Your Majesty will agree."

Geshuhan was finally moved: "Exchange ten coins of money and ten stones of grain by one person?"

"That's right."

Geshuhan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I did this business. This is only once, Gu Jieshuai has become a habit."

Gu Qing was very happy and raised the wine cup and greeted Brother Shuhan: "In this way, you and I will make up."

"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse." Geshuhan picked up the wine jar and said heroically.

Gu Qingqian took a sip of the wine and said, "Then, let's talk about another thing next."

"What's the matter?"

"This time there was an unpleasant fight, and you and I both have the responsibility. In comparison, you have a greater responsibility... Don't stare at Jishou. I'm telling the truth. If you don't intercept my war horse, I won't be punished. Let's talk about the serious matters. Today, the two armies will withdraw their troops. Next, we will also have to deal with the aftermath, otherwise the emperor will punish you and I will not be able to escape."

Geshuhan snorted coldly and said, "What do you think you should do?"

"Fortunately, the two armies did not really go to war, and there was no casualties. There was still room for trouble, so you and I had to discuss a complete plan to find a open reason for you and me to send troops this time..."

Geshuhan frowned and said, "What's the reason?"

Gu Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "Are there any enemies of the Tang Dynasty near Yumen Pass? To the south is Tuyuhun of Tubo. Tubo is too powerful and cannot be easily provoked, but to the north is complicated. There are the Uighur Khanate, a good friend of the Tang Dynasty, and there are also the remnants of the Turkic tribes. If we want to find the reason to find the troops, we will look for it from the north..."

After all, Geshuhan is a famous general, so he can understand it at a glance and said in a deep voice: "What Gu Jieshuai means is to make a fuss about the remnants of the Turkic tribe?"

"The responsibility of the Hexi Jiedushi Administration is to fight against Tubo in the south and resist the Turkic in the north. The general said that he had obtained information. The remnants of the Turkic tribes in the north were invaded. Because they were uncertain whether the information was accurate, they wrote a secret letter to invite the Anxi Jiedushi to hunt outside Yumen Pass, send troops to seek opportunities to advance north, and annihilate the Turkic tribe. As far as I know, the Qibi tribe closest to the Hexi Jiedushi Administration is a bit dishonest..."

Geshuhan immediately understood: "The two major military governors joined forces to advance north and eliminate the remnants of the Turkic tribes. The two armies will hunt outside Yumen Pass, and the location is also suitable..."

Gu Qing said again: "Of course, you should not hide what you should not hide. After all, you and me have military supervisors sent by His Majesty in the mansions. It is impossible for the military supervisors to lie to His Majesty. We said that when the two armies met, they caused a certain small conflict because of misunderstandings between the generals of both sides. Fortunately, you and I did not have a fight, just a little friction. It is understandable that a few words can be explained. The important thing is that you and I have to be unified in the same way. If they pass it to His Majesty, things will become smaller..."

Ge Shuhan nodded and said slowly: "What Gu Jieshuai said is not without reason..."

Gu Qing added: "Let's add another insurance for yourself... You and I have a good relationship with the right prime minister Yang Guozhong. If you send someone back to Chang'an and give Yang Xiang a lot of money, even if Your Majesty wants to punish you and me severely, Yang Guozhong will plead for you and me in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty is now very favored by Yang Guozhong. With his pleading, things will not start, and this conflict will be eliminated silently."

Geshuhan suddenly changed from hesitation to recognition, and the spring breeze between his eyebrows became frozen, gradually unfolding.

"Gu Jieshuai, I think you are like a bad person..." Ge Shuhan glanced at him.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Does Geshu Jieshuai mean to agree or agree?"

Geshuhan felt extremely unwilling to do such things as deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates. He was an open-minded man, but today, in order to protect his future, he had to get along with this guy in front of him who was definitely not a good person.

It was clearly the first soldier from Gu Qing, and Gu Qing almost gave an offensive order, why did he drag him to take the blame in the end?

Geshuhan still didn't understand the logic of this matter, but... no matter who is responsible, he has to bear it today.

"Agree!" Ge Shuhan said angrily: "This villain's behavior is only once, so I will not be an example!"

"As long as Jishuai doesn't steal my horse, there will definitely be no next time." Gu Qing smiled and said, "I and Jishuai hit it off at first sight, but my brothers also have to settle the accounts clearly. How about you and I share half of the money given to Yang Xiang?"

Geshuhan was furious: "My Hexi Army is almost begging for food, where did the money come from? No! No!"

After saying that, Brother Shuhan got up and quickly left with his sleeves.

Gu Qing was stunned for a while, and finally shouted to his back unwillingly: "This time I will help the Jishuai mattress, and Jishuai will return it to me another day!"

"Jie Shuai, how about writing an IOU?"

Geshuhan walked faster and faster, as if he didn't hear it.

Gu Qing sighed disappointed and murmured: "This person's character seems to be a problem..."

…………

Chang'an City.

It was already autumn. Every September, Li Longji would take Yang Guifei out of the palace to visit the palace and go to the Huaqing Palace in Mount Li to avoid the cold. He would not return to Chang'an until March next spring. This year was no exception. Just after the Double Ninth Festival, Li Longji couldn't wait to come to the Huaqing Palace.

Gao Lishi stood outside the Haitang Tangmen in Huaqing Palace, quietly waiting for the mandarin ducks to play in the water.

The bursts of laughter from the Begonia soup made the bleak early autumn feel a little more springy. Gao Lishi was a eunuch, and when he heard the noise, he just smiled faintly.

The sound of footsteps came from the porch in the distance, and Yang Guozhong walked slowly with his calm official steps.

When Li Longji went out of the palace to visit, many court officials were also among the emperor's patrols. After all, the emperor is the center of power in the whole world. Wherever the emperor is, the government affairs are, so the emperor must be accompanied by court officials to deal with the government affairs at any time.

Yang Guozhong also followed Li Longji to Huaqing Palace to avoid the cold this year.

He said that he was to avoid the cold, Yang Guozhong was still extremely busy every day, so busy that he rarely went out. Today, he finally had free time and then went out to see the emperor. Regardless of whether there was a serious matter or not, flattering in front of the emperor was considered a serious matter.

Seeing Yang Guozhong coming from afar, Gao Lishi hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and politely stopped Yang Guozhong.

The emperor and the imperial concubine were bathing and playing in the water. Yang Guozhong was a foreign minister, not a eunuch. It was not very elegant to hear some movements.

Yang Guozhong was also a tactful person. He stood in the corridor from afar and started chatting with Gao Lishi. The two of them chatted tacitly while waiting for the emperor and the imperial concubine to come out for fun.

"Prime Minister Yang worked hard in the country, and he saw that the weather was cold, so he had to take care of himself." Gao Lishi laughed.

Yang Guozhong also smiled and said, "If you have to work hard, General Gao is worried. Since you have to eat your king's fortune, you will have to share your worries. Working hard is nothing."

"Suce Yang is here to see Your Majesty today?" Gao Lishi turned his head and looked at the closed Haitang Tang gate, and smiled: "Your Majesty and Concubine Taizhen have just been in the bath. I'm afraid Yang Xiang will have to wait for a while longer."
