    "Are there any thieves chasing you?" Gao Xianzhi, who was dozing on his horse, suddenly woke up. He shook his head and asked to the side.  Li Siye's eyelids were twitching, but he tried hard not to fall asleep. When he heard him ask, he shook his head: "No one is chasing you at this time." "Damn it, what's the sound behind you?" Before he finished speaking, he heard something behind him.  The sound was wrong, there was the faint sound of horse hooves.  By this time, the rain had stopped, the sky had cleared up, and the morning light from the east illuminated the road.  Li Siye lay on the ground and listened for a while, then his expression changed greatly: "I don't know if there are thousands of horses Doctor, hurry up and cross the mountain pass in front, and you can escape." But they didn't know that this was not a galloping war horse, but something happened on the way they came.  At this time, Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye were too scared to think about it, and they did not send anyone to investigate. They just drove the soldiers forward quickly. At this time, there were more than 300 soldiers following them.  The men were exhausted and the horses were covered in blood. "There are people ahead," a sergeant from the front suddenly shouted. They looked up and saw, after turning the corner, a large number of people and horses were gathering at the entrance of the valley that Li Siye had mentioned.  They were stunned, but they thought it was the Big Food Army that had blocked them. A closer look revealed that although those people had tall noses and deep eyes, they were not the Big Food People, but the Badhans who were transporting supplies.  The supply team was originally going to deliver supplies to Talas City, but they were shocked to hear the Tang army's defeat last night. They turned back halfway and stayed here. They saw Gao Xianzhi and others in the distance. They hurriedly packed up their things, turned their horses, and tried to escape.  . But there were too many people and horses, the valley was too narrow, and the camels and horses were not full of food, and they were unwilling to move. So nearly a thousand people were blocked at the entrance of the valley, unable to advance or retreat. When Gao Xianzhi and others arrived, they could only get away.  The rumbling sound behind one of them became louder, like thousands of troops galloping forward, causing the mountains to tremble faintly. Gao Xianzhi shouted loudly on his horse, and the soldiers around him also kept yelling, asking those to pull the sweat.  But the more they urged, the more confused the man was, and he was reluctant to abandon his camel and horse. Instead, he blocked the road even more tightly. Li Siye was already holding back his anger, and after yelling a few times, he  Seeing that the situation did not change, he looked back at Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi nodded slightly. Li Siye straightened up his sword and stepped forward, sternly scolding: "Hu'er, if you don't give way, I'm going to kill him." That guy is not Bahan.  They didn't want to give way, but under such circumstances, they were all in a mess. They nomadic people did not have a real leader, so they acted on their own. Li Siye threatened them with a knife, and they were even more like a mess.  The camels also joined in the fun and started roaring and hooting, and the valley mouth suddenly felt like a bustling city.  "Death" Li Siye swung his sword, and a human head flew away immediately. Those people who pulled the sweat did not take it seriously when they found out that they were friendly troops, so they delayed it more or less deliberately. Li Siye slashed with his sword. Since he killed the first one, he also chopped the second one.  There was no mercy at all, and when the third, fourth, and fifth person was killed, the road that was originally blocked actually got out of the way.  The man named Bahan was horrified, staring at the bloody steel knife in Li Siye's hand.  Li Siye held the knife in one hand and led Gao Xianzhi's horse with the other. He walked proudly past the corpse and the pool of blood and walked straight into the valley.  The Tang army entered in silence. When they passed by, there were cries from among the men who pulled the sweat.  Gao Xianzhi had a sullen face, neither comforting Li Siye who was a little uneasy nor criticizing him.  They walked away in a hurry, but the man named Bahan was crying bitterly there. They were not even allowed to leave. Anyway, they just surrendered when the big cannibal came.  Gao Xianzhi and others took a long detour and traveled for a day. In the evening, they arrived at Shujian City, which was more than fifty miles away from Talas.  This place is also the base camp of the Tang Army. Li Siye looked at the city from a distance and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Our flag is still hanging, doctor, there is no need to worry now." "Well, Siye, you have to work harder to gather the troops these days.  "Ma, I will urge the rear, and the army will be ready to fight again," Gao Xianzhi said through gritted teeth.  "Doctor, after this battle we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. Geluolu has rebelled again. We are inevitably in danger behind us. Let's go back to Suiye first and then worry about it. We will go hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory, break through more than ten cities, and capture the bandit chief.  "The Hus also have thousands of people, and they can offer prisoners to the imperial court," Li Siye said.  Gao Xianzhi snorted and did not respond.  With this situation, he could indeed offer prisoners to the imperial court, but with the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers, how could he have the dignity to call it a victory?  How could the court not pursue this matter?  The biggest possibility is to transfer him internally. He has been operating in Anxi for so many years. Once he is transferred away from Anxi Town, what else can he do?  Therefore, he must turn this situation around. They were still about two miles away from the city. They had already been seen on the city, and immediately a number of riders galloped out to watch from a distance.  Li Siye urged his horse forward and said loudly: "Doctor Gao is here, why don't you hurry up and greet him?" If Li Siye wants to come and identify Gao Xianzhi, then these scouts who are watching will come to greet him and send people at the same time.The city was notified and prepared to resettle everyone.  But he didn't expect that the other party heard his yell. Although two people ran towards the city, more people kept a distance from them and looked on guard.  "Are you blind? Don't you recognize Dr. Gao?" Li Siye, who was holding back his anger, roared. But Gao Xianzhi pulled him, with a gloomy look on his face: "It's the Mighty Heavenly Army." "The Mighty Heavenly Army and the Mighty Heavenly Army?"  Li Siye looked stern: "How did the Mighty Heavenly Army get here?" Gao Xianzhi recaptured Suiye City, but Tuqishi's threat to Suiye City was not eliminated. In order to avoid worries for this western expedition, the imperial court mobilized the Tianwei Army.  Guard the flanks of Broken Leaf City for Gao Xianzhi.  What the Tianwei Army has to do is to defend the city. If they are not under Gao Xianzhi's command, it will be difficult for Gao Xianzhi to mobilize them.  But why would Tianwei Jianer appear in Shuijian City these days?  ¡°Do you know about the mobilization of the army, Doctor Gao?¡± Li Siye asked in a trembling voice.  "I don't know." Gao Xianzhi shook his head.  Both of them could see the look of horror in each other's eyes. Gao Xianzhi was nominally the commander-in-chief of the Anxi armies. Although he could not mobilize the Tianwei Army, if the Tianwei Army moved to defend, it would have to pass through him.  Now he knows nothing about the movements of the Tianwei Army. He only proves one thing. The Tianwei Army is very likely to mutiny. Thinking of the sudden betrayal of the Ge Luolu people, if the Tianwei Army mutinies again, then the Anxi Army may have to kill the whole army this time.  Jin Mo "Doctor, doctor, there is also a team of people behind us." Just when they were wondering whether they should enter the city to tax and build the city, someone suddenly exclaimed.  Looking back, they saw flags fluttering and a team of thousands of people approaching from behind them.  Looking at each other, the flag is also that of the Tang Dynasty, not the pursuers of Dashi, but the flag of the Anxi Army.  This made Li Siye immediately happy: "It's ours, doctor, don't worry, it's ours" "Siye, go and have a look." Gao Xianzhi said.  Li Siye got his order and took a few soldiers to urge the horses back. After a while, he saw clearly the leader of the Tang army.  He couldn't help but look a little excited: It turned out to be Duan Xiushi. "Mr. Cheng, Gong Cheng, you are still alive." He ran forward, feeling very emotional in his heart.  If Gao Xianzhi could listen to Duan Xiushi's advice, he might not be in such an embarrassing situation, and Duan Xiushi was not only alive, but also brought back thousands of troops, which shows his talent. "It's Mr. Li." Duan Xiushi was very happy to see Li Siye, and he was waiting to greet him.  But a Hu man next to him shouted: "It's him, it's him. He was the one who fought with us yesterday and killed our people." As soon as Li Siye got closer, he heard the Hu man say this and looked at each other in surprise.  The Hu man was decorated by the man from Bahan, so he looked vaguely familiar.  Li Siye thought for a while, isn't this the same guy from the group of people at the mountain pass yesterday?  The smile on Duan Xiushi's face subsided and she stared at Li Siye: "Mr. Li, is this possible?" "Yesterdayit was true." Li Siye was quite brave enough to admit it.  "It is not brave to run in fear of the enemy, it is not benevolent to avoid falling into the crowd, and it is not a husband to seek immunity after the army is defeated," Duan Xiushi said angrily.  Li Siye was so ashamed that he dismounted and saluted the man who pulled the sweat: "It was me yesterday, not me." Although Duan Xiushi scolded Li Siye, when it came to official positions, he was far different from Li Siye. When it came to closeness, his heart was naturally private.  Li Siye, who was a general of the Tang Dynasty, immediately comforted the man Bahan with kind words.  The Hu people valued profit over righteousness, so Duan Xiushi and Li Siye promised to apologize with heavy gifts, so they stopped entangled.  At this time, Li Siye had time to say: "Success, Dr. Gao is in front, you go and meet him quickly." "It is useless to see the commander of the defeated army." Duan Xiushi sneered: "If you abandon the army and flee, the court will investigate it.  "He" Duan Xiushi's words made Li Siye stunned. Li Siye couldn't help but press the knife, while the people around Duan Xiushi also pressed the knife and looked at each other angrily.  "Mr. Cheng, what you said is treasonous. Now when I go to see Gao Gong, I pretend that I haven't heard anything. Gao Gong is the imperial envoy of Anxi. Even if you are frustrated for a moment, you can't be scornful." "I have military orders.  I don't have time to see other people." Duan Xiushi had other plans.  He has been working under Gao Xianzhi for several years, but Gao Xianzhi has never paid much attention to him. On the contrary, he has only been working with Ye Chang for two days. Ye Chang not only treats him like a confidant, but also takes a fancy to his talents and has promised him important tasks many times.  Duan Xiushi knew very well that when Ye Chang came here, he would compete with Gao Xianzhi for power, and since he was determined to join Ye Chang, he had to be firm in his stance.  Wallweed has been the most annoying thing since ancient times.  "Do you have military orders?" Li Siye laughed angrily: "Mr. Gao is here, who else do you have military orders for?" Duan Xiushi stared at Li Siye with a strange look on his face: "Gong Li, when you returned from defeat, you have not had any contact with your own people?  "Ah?" "When Dr. Gao abandoned the army and fled, we were trapped in the enemy's territory.During the war, everyone was almost in despair. At this time, Ye Zhongcheng sent Bai Xiaode and his army to rescue us, and we finally escaped.  When Doctor Gao retreated in panic, Ye Zhongcheng personally supervised the army and arrived at Baishi Ridge to pick us up.  When Dr. Gao ordered you to kill the allied troops and escape, Ye Zhongcheng was starved of food and too busy to treat the wounded soldiers.  Duan Xiushi said softly: "Li Gong, we are friends. I advise you to go. Doctor Gao should not make any plans when he goes to Ye Zhongcheng. You should also make plans early." After saying this, he waved his hand and said behind him: "  The city is about to be built, everyone, please sing." The song of the Big Horn Song sounded again. Although this army, which was mainly composed of lightly wounded soldiers, had a low morale, it did not appear to be in a hurry after defeat. They sang the Big Horn Song and passed directly in front of Gao Xianzhi.  No one saluted Gao Xianzhi, and no one stopped to look at Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi was stunned at first, and gradually turned pale. He held the handle of the knife, and his veins were bulging, and he just wanted to get angry. But when Li Siye came back, he hurriedly stopped him.  The soldiers also blocked him. Duan Xiushi's troops moved over, and the Tianwei army on the other side moved out of the way with a smile, and sang the Dajiao song with them. However, they still did not leave until Duan Xiushi's troops left, staring at him from a distance.  Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye and others were clearly monitoring them. "Siye, what's going on?  "Suppressing his anger, Gao Xianzhi's upright face was a little distorted: "Isn't that Duan Xiushi? How dare he be so rude?  " Li Siye moved his mouth, and Gao Xianzhi shouted: "Say" "Ye Chang and Ye Zhongcheng are here.  "Li Siye said with difficulty: "He is now in Baishiling" "Ye Chang" Gao Xianzhi's eyes widened and he took a breath of cold air: "What did Zheng Dequan and Bi Sichen do? Ye Chang arrived here, and there was no news at all."  Li Siye didn't say anything, but he thought to himself, even you yourself are suppressed by Ye Chang, who are Zheng Dequan and Bi Sichen, how can they deal with Ye Chang? Looking at Duan Xiushi's desperate look, I am afraid that the soldiers who stayed in Kucha will be killed.  , either he also took refuge in Ye Chang, or stood aside or even lost his life. He was loyal to Gao Xianzhi, but at this moment, he couldn't help but have some thoughts: Seeing that Gao Xianzhi's situation was not good, he still wanted to stay in Anxi.  , I¡¯m afraid we need to consider a way out. ¡°Baishi Ridge?  Gao Xianzhi murmured with a gloomy face again. Baishiling is in front, only more than twenty miles away from Talas, and now he has arrived at Shuijian City. It means that Ye Chang ran to the front line instead, but he fled to the rear.  , No wonder Duan Xiushi and others ignored him. Compared to Ye Chang, he was just a deserter. "But" Gao Xianzhi laughed fiercely. "This city construction is the only way to Talas. As long as he controls this place, he will be able to do it."  Having blocked the supply to the front line, what can Ye Chang do even if he reaches the front? "I want to see who can stop me in the city," he said sternly, since they are sure that the Tianwei Army is not there.  The mutiny and worries in his heart were gone, so he headed towards Shuijian City at full speed. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the city gate. Gao Xianzhi was about to enter the city, but he was stopped by someone. "Gao Gong is here for a while."  Are you staying in the city, or do you want to use this as your base camp?  Li Wan asked with a smile as he came towards him. Li Wan can only be said to be the lowest official in the Anxi military system. Gao Xianzhi vaguely remembered him, but did not know his name. He was here to seize power, so naturally he would not  He was polite, pressed his hand on the sword, and looked sharply: "Are you trying to stop me?  " "No, no, it's easy to make arrangements in a humble position.  "How can you, a small official, know the whereabouts of someone?" Gao Xianzhi glared at Li Wan with bright eyes: "Get out of the way."
