    Gao Xianzhi has a majestic body and a fair complexion. He does not look like a Goguryeo, but looks a bit like a Han. However, the Goguryeo people originally had many Han descendants, and deep down in his heart, he also wished that he was a Han.  "Ambassador, the troops are ready." Lieutenant General Li Siye urged his horse forward and whispered to him.  "Okay, okay." Gao Xianzhi was very happy. He looked around and said to Cheng Qianli, "I will entrust this protective land to you." "Ambassador, just rest assured, there will be nothing wrong. I wish the ambassador a good start and success soon."  Cheng Qianli smiled.  "I don't know when the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive. Our army is out in full force this time. If the reinforcements arrive late, the ministries are afraid of any changes." Duan Xiushi, the general who followed Li Siye, said in a low voice.  Gao Xianzhi glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.  This guy is fond of pouring cold water on others, and his words are a bit harsh. If he didn't have some skills, Gao Xianzhi would have tolerated him long ago.  Gao Xianzhi had been preparing for this expedition for a long time. In order to gain the support of the imperial court, he returned to Chang'an in the name of offering prisoners at the end of Tianbao's ninth year. He did not leave until April of Tianbao's tenth year, bringing Gao Lishi and  Yang Zhao's connections have been cleared, and everyone inside and outside the court is willing to fully support his expedition.  If there are any voices of opposition, it is Ye Chang on the outside and Duan Xiushi on the inside.  However, Duan Xiu was a low-ranking official and had little power, so it had little influence on him. This was not the case with Ye Chang. Ye Chang was a high-ranking official with less power. In these years of running military affairs, Ye Chang seemed to be the number one person in the border affairs of the Tang Dynasty. His opinions were of great importance to him.  The influence of the center of the imperial court was extremely great. If this were not the case, Gao Xianzhi would not have to go to Beijing to explain.  "Xiushi, don't say anything more." Li Siye glared at Duan Xiushi and said.  "Yes." Duan Xiushi also knew that he had gone too far. When the army went out for battle, how could he dampen the general's enthusiasm? If Gao Xianzhi was narrow-minded and directly set up a fatal mission for him on the battlefield, his end would be miserable.  .  "I wonder who the imperial court will send. If they are" Just when Gao Xianzhi was about to give the order to send out troops, suddenly he heard a voice from outside: "Report." Gao Xianzhi frowned, turned around and saw a reprimand.  Hou rushed over.  "What's the matter?" Gao Xianzhi asked after the scout knelt down.  "The imperial court appointed Ye Chang as the general manager of the Anxi rear army and the general protector of Anxi. He led 30,000 reinforcements from the three towns of Shuofang, Hexi and Longyou, and sent 100,000 civilians along the way to support Anxi." "Ye Chang?" Gao Xianzhi heard this name,  His brows couldn't help but twitch: "Why did you send him here? No one should have sent him here. Ye Chang was originally not optimistic about this expedition. Will he do his best? "I understand, Qianli, are you ready to welcome it?  , we set off first.  " Without thinking much, Gao Xianzhi snorted and ordered. "Here, the animals were sacrificed to the flag, and the army rose up and filed out of the camp. There were more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Anxi and Beiting, and 30,000 went with Gao Xianzhi.  The Tianwei Army had been brought by Gao Xianzhi before, but they were only responsible for protecting Gao Xianzhi's rear flank food road.  "It's enough for Gao Xianzhi to have no worries. "If Ye Chang comes, I'm afraid there will still be a dispute.  " Duan Xiushi said behind Li Siye. This time he lowered his voice so that Gao Xianzhi would not hear. Li Siye nodded and sighed inwardly. The imperial court was also confused. It was just a matter of sending people to repay them. How could they send generals? Even if they send generals,  , Ye Chang, who has always opposed major military operations in Anxi, should not be dispatched. Seeing the troops trooping out, he followed his headquarters and was about to leave. At this moment, he heard someone from behind shouting: "Report".  The horse was neighing, and if he hadn't paid attention, the sound would have been almost inaudible. Li Siye looked over and saw another envoy, covered in sweat, and the horse was almost exhausted, and the envoy knelt down in front of Gao Xianzhi: "  Ambassador, Ye Zhongcheng is here to see the ambassador." "Ye Zhongcheng?  Which Ye Zhongcheng?  "Gao Xianzhi was stunned. "Censor Zhongcheng and Anxi deputy chief protector Ye Chang.  " Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye couldn't help but be stunned. Duan Xiushi even shrank his neck and felt sweat dripping down his face. The order from the imperial court to appoint Ye Chang arrived, and Ye Chang himself arrived. Doesn't this prove that after Ye Chang was appointed by the imperial court?  He immediately left the capital and rushed here non-stop? If so, I am afraid that Ye Chang came here with bad intentions Gao Xianzhi looked gloomy, cursed in a low voice, and then said: "Don't pay attention to him, let's go on our own, Qianli, you  Go and respond" Before he finished speaking, he saw more than ten horses galloping from the east. When he looked carefully, he found that there were only five people but fifteen horses. This is the posture of one person and three horses, galloping thousands of miles.  Gao Xianzhi's expression was even more indifferent, and an inexplicable anger surged in his heart. The fundamental reason why he was so enthusiastic about this expedition was still there.The great benefits this expedition can bring.  Not only can he be promoted and rewarded in the court, but more importantly, the loot can make him a fortune.  Although he was illiterate, he still heard Ye Chang's theory on border management explained to him. He wholeheartedly agreed with the statement that border management needs to be profitable to last long.  But he and Ye Chang had different views on how to make a profit. Ye Chang thought that he needed to operate slowly by himself, but he thought that all operations were not as fast as robbery and plunder.  "Ye Chang came so eagerly, just to cut off his path to promotion and wealth. There is a saying among the Han people that cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents. "Ambassador?" Li Siye called him in a low voice.  Gao Xianzhi calmed down, signaled the troops to continue moving, and turned his horse's head to face the direction from which Ye Chang and his party came.  Not long after, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.  No need to ask, the young man in the middle must be Ye Chang. Beside him, the other four people look like they are capable and brave people.  Gao Xianzhi has seen many such characters around him.  "Ambassador Gao, I have heard about the ambassador's reputation a long time ago. I am so happy to see you today." Ye Chang fell off the horse and was a little unsteady. He had to lean on the horse to barely stand.  "You are a rough man who doesn't know how to be elegant. Don't talk nonsense like that. You don't understand." Gao Xianzhi raised his chin and said proudly: "Who are you? Why did you rush into the army?" "A certain Ye Chang." Ye Chang gasped.  After breathing for a while, his body felt better, and then he raised his head and said.  Gao Xianzhi¡¯s hostility is very obvious, even if he is slow to react after a long journey, he can clearly feel it.  "Ye Chang so what, you're not in Yunnan, what are you doing here?" The messenger just now was standing aside before he could retreat. He was clearly looking down on Ye Chang.  Even if Ye Chang doesn't know about this kind of behavior now, he will know about it in a short time.  It can be seen from this that Gao Xianzhi is arrogant.  Ye Chang's expression became serious and his waist straightened naturally.  He has come all the way, almost non-stop, but he is not here to eat Gao Xianzhi. His expression condensed, he took two steps back and said loudly: "In that case, Ambassador Gao, please do as you please. I would like to wish Ambassador Ma  When you succeed - beware of barbarian rebellion." After saying that, he turned around and left without even saying goodbye to Gao Xianzhi.  A general beside Gao Xianzhi was furious and tried to raise his sword, but was stopped by another man.  Gao Xianzhi didn't respond. He galloped forward. He pressed his sword and rolled his eyes. He stepped forward and said to Gao Xianzhi: "Brother, people like Cheng Qianli are men with a woman's heart. They cannot be relied on. They cannot compete with Ye."  Let's fight for the front. If Ye Chang takes advantage of the emperor's order and deliberately misses our supplies and equipment, what will we do if we go on an expedition?" Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but frown when these words came into his ears.  The speaker's name is Zheng Dequan, the son of Gao Xianzhi's wet nurse. He is arrogant and relies on Gao Xianzhi's power to become arrogant.  Although he spoke for Gao Xianzhi's sake, he actually disliked Ye Chang and felt unhappy that this guy had reached such a high official position at such a young age.  "What General Zheng Lang said is reasonable. With the army hanging outside, how can we be uneasy about our future?" The person who stopped Zheng Dequan also said softly: "Besides, the ambassador treated him lightly today, how can he not be angry?" The person who spoke then  It's Feng Changqing.  In the history of Ye Chang's other life, Gao Xianzhi used Feng Changqing to supervise military discipline and killed Zheng Dequan with a stick. However, perhaps Ye Chang indirectly changed the fate of many people. At this time, Feng Changqing not only did not kill Zheng Dequan with a stick, but the two  The people are quite friendly.  "In your opinion?" Gao Xianzhi asked.  "I see that Ye Chang came here with only three or five people. All the officers and men in the army are all old men in the hands of the ambassador. They will not obey him. Cheng Qianli has different intentions with the ambassador, but Bi Sichen now respects the ambassador very much. He is the general. Ye  Chang will not dare to take it lightly. The ambassador can ask Bi Sichen to stay in Qiuci and ask him to fight against Ye Chang. With Bi Sichen here, Cheng Qianli will not dare to have too much contact with Ye Chang" Feng Changqing whispered,  Gao Xianzhi nodded, but Zheng Dequan rolled his eyes. He felt that if he didn't say anything, he would really look inferior to Feng Changqing, so he also said: "Brother, Bi Sichen once took over his brother's farm. Now, although it is revealed that  Yes, but who knows if he still remembers this in his heart. I would like to stay and keep an eye on Bi Sichen for my brother." "No." Feng Changqing was surprised when he heard this and said, "Ye Chang is also used to managing soldiers.  "Yes, Zheng Lang will stay, I'm afraid there will be trouble." "It doesn't matter. He just resigned in front of me. What else could he do except use some means secretly?" Gao Xianzhi said a little arrogantly.  I picked up some bargains in the border areas. There are no heroes in Liaodong and Yunnan, so Zhuzi became famous. Dequan, go and tell Bi Sichen to let him stay. Chang Qing, Bi Sichen's department will be under your supervision. "Feng Chang Qingyuan.  I wanted to object at first, but when I heard that he was asked to supervise Bi Sichen's department, my heart moved. He traveled thousands of miles to join Gao Xianzhi, recommended himself repeatedly, and climbed to his current position despite the contempt of everyone. Isn't it just to have a unique position?  Any chance?    Thinking of this, he no longer objected, but pulled Zheng Dequan: "General Zheng Lang, you have to be careful. It is best to isolate Ye Chang from the army sergeants so that they cannot know what is going on in the army. If this can be done  "No matter how many tricks Ye Chang comes up with, he can't do anything to you." "Don't worry, I know." Zheng Dequan chuckled twice.  Ye Chang was very angry at Gao Xianzhi and still reminded him to pay attention to the rebellion of the Hu people, but he knew in his heart that Gao Xianzhi would not listen.  He had no other choice but to give it up for the time being and make other plans.  He had traveled thousands of miles and was already exhausted. He didn't wait for the army to leave, and went straight to find a barracks to live in.  This sleep felt extremely sweet, and my snoring was really loud.  It wasn't until noon the next day that he woke up from hunger.  When they came out to see, Shanzhi and Wang Yanger were already awake, with angry faces. When they saw him, they looked at each other.  "You say it first," Wang Yang'er said.  "You said it" "You are the brother of Zhongcheng, it is you who said it" "You are the personal guard, it is only you who say it" The relationship between these two people has been like this since they had a strong fight when they first met, fighting back and forth.  It's either about strength or anger.  Ye Chang was too lazy to get involved with them. Seeing this, he stood up and stretched: "Have a good sleepI'm hungry, don't you have anything to eat?" "I was about to tell you, but this thief Hu didn't even give me anything.  The food we prepare, whether it is military food or not, is all determined. We are not members of the military. By letting us rest in the military camp, we are already giving face. Otherwise "Stop talking about it."  "Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, knowing that there must be nothing good to say, but he sneered in his heart. Gao Xianzhi was greedy and arrogant. As he expected, he came by himself. He was unhappy in his heart. He showed his face, and then the cronies below dared to  But if you think you are easy to bully, you are totally wrong. "Yang'er, I have something to entrust to you.  " "What's the matter?  " "You have been with the prince and the sergeants for a long time. Go and find out about the army's food and salary situation and whether it is paid out on time.  "Ye Chang squinted his eyes and said: "Is there any bullying and oppression in the army? Is there any injustice" "Don't say so much, I can't remember it.  Wang Yang'er held her stomach and said, "I want to eat. If I don't fill my stomach, I can't do anything."  "Ye Chang laughed: "Okay, let's go find food." They left the military camp and went straight to the city of Kucha to find restaurants and inns. Kucha is a strategic point on the Silk Road, so naturally there are many inns and restaurants.  After a while, I found a house where goat milk and roasted lamb legs were brought to the table. These products from the Western Regions were indispensable. Everyone ate in large portions, but they were very happy.  Why are you so idle?  " Shanzhi asked while eating. "I came here in a hurry at that time, hoping that there was still room for redemption, but even though I risked my life, others didn't appreciate it. Talking too much is useless and only makes people angry. It's better to calm down.  Come, have a good life and take care of the aftermath.  "Ye Chang squinted his eyes, and anger flashed in his eyes: "Save as many people as you can, and recover as much loss as you can Man makes plans, and God makes things happen." He has always been proactive, and this kind of  It is really rare for someone to rely on the success or failure of a matter. Shanzhi felt a little surprised, stared at him for a long time, and then asked: "Are you worried about a big defeat?  " "What's the use of worrying? I've written to the court countless times, and the side affairs are mainly business operations, supplemented by attack. But how many people in the court care about the lives of soldiers?  An Lushan lost tens of thousands of people, Ge Shuhan lost tens of thousands, and now Gao Xianzhi wants to kill tens of thousands more They are all the elites of our Tang Dynasty. They have all been lost. If something happens to China, who can come to protect it?  Support?  "Ye Chang complained a few times and then shook his head: "Not to mention this, are you full? Let's go shopping in Qiuci."
