Bad news comes one by one, Li Longji has been hit hard and has been exhausted these days.

Always looking forward to the great deeds and waiting for some good news, Gao Lishi's report still broke his fantasy.

Li Longji immediately sat up in shock and stared at Gao Lishi in a daze.

"Anxi Army... Camp roar?" Li Longji asked with difficulty.

Gao Lishi said in a panic: "Yes, Pei Zhounan sent a military newspaper from a fast horse from 800 miles and asked for his crime in the memorial."

Li Longji took a deep breath and his expression became more and more depressed: "The Anxi Army is so good, why are you whistling?"

"Pei Zhounan said in his memorial that because he was a literati and did not understand the way of commanding troops, he was very strict with the generals of the Anxi Army. The generals were dissatisfied with him and confronted Pei Zhounan during a training session. Pei Zhounan killed a soldier to establish his authority. This move aroused the resentment of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Anxi Army."

"That night, there was a camp of Anxi Army camp. At the time of the incident, more than a dozen soldiers lost their minds and slashed the robes of the same camp, which later caused thousands of people to be demented. Under the suppression of the commander Chang Zhong, the soldiers who were demented were mobilized to kill the demented soldiers on the spot, which stopped the spread of the camp of the roar."

Li Longji finally understood and couldn't help but slap the table with hatred, stood up and said angrily: "Pei Zhounan, this useless mediocre talent, stupid talent! Damn my big deal!"

If it were in peacetime, although Anxi Military Camp Xiao was a big deal, he could easily deal with it. He should be dismissed from office, exiled, beheaded, and held accountable.

But what time is this? It was the rebellion of An Lushan. Li Longji was waiting for the critical moment when the governors from all over the country to command the king. The troops under each governor were his life-saving straw. But at this moment, the famous Anxi Iron Army was actually a whistle by Pei Zhounan.

Li Longji also personally led the troops back then. He knew better than anyone else about the matter of Yingxiao, and he also understood better if an army had Yingxiao, which shows how low the morale and combat power would be.

Can such an army still be used? Can you still expect them to enter Yumen Pass to serve the king?

"How many casualties in the Anxi Army?" Li Longji asked with a gloomy face.

"Pei Zhounan's memorial said that there were more than 1,000 dead and more than 2,000 injured in the Anxi Army that night." Gao Lishi replied carefully.

Li Longji felt a reversal in his chest. If Pei Zhounan had stood in front of him, he would have been chopped to 180 yuan.

Gao Lishi continued: "After Chang Zhong suppressed the camp, the soldiers immediately set up camp and dispersed them. The camp regiments were separated for dozens of miles to camp. The generals of Anxi went to different camps every day to appease the soldiers, and they drew the silver and money of the government to reward the soldiers. Only then did they barely calm the morale of the army. At present, the Anxi army has calmed down."

Li Longji was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Pei Zhounan should not be the governor of Anxi anymore. He must change his generals immediately, otherwise his Iron Army of Anxi will not be harmed by him. When the enemy is in front of him, the Anxi Army cannot be damaged any more."

Gorix lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Li Longji fell into deep thought again. Who can be the head coach when Anxi Army changes its generals?

This question is difficult to decide. The first two Anxi Jiedu governors were all in Chang'an, one was Gao Xianzhi and the other was Gu Qing.

Gao Xianzhi is a famous general of the world, but Li Longji has ordered him to lead the twelve garrisons in Chang'an City. The position of this commander is even more important than that of the Anxi Army. Chang'an City cannot be fallen, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will be completely lost.

There are several generals left, such as Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, etc., but these generals Li Longji have all made arrangements. Chang'an City is so important. With Li Longji's suspicious nature, it is impossible to hand over all the troops to Gao Xianzhi. Generals such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi will lead an army alone to guard Chang'an.

There are actually not many candidates left.

Gu Qing's young face emerged from Li Longji's mind.

"Gu Qing, Gu Qing..." Li Longji muttered to himself his name.

Gao Lishi said softly: "Does Your Majesty want Gu Qing to be the commander of the Anxi Army?"

Li Longji hesitated and said, "This son only had a battle with Tubo. Although he fought very neatly, he only had one battle after all. I really don't know how capable he is in commanding the army. The rebels are so arrogant. I should not be careless if I become the general."

Gao Lishi thought for a while and said, "I think that when Your Majesty chooses a general now, the word "loyalty" must be the first priority. Hundreds of thousands of military governors from all over the Tang Dynasty work together to serve the king, so as not to worry about the rebels' injustice. But if you choose another unfaithful person, you may experience the Xiao Jiang change. As for the ability to command the army, it will not be a big deal. After all, Li Tang is the orthodox king, and it is the will of the people of the world. Even if the army is gone, you can still recruit again..."

"What's more, I think that Gu Qing's ability should not disappoint Your Majesty. Your Majesty might as well imagine, which of the errands he has done in the past few years? They have to be properly handled, so that the Majesty will not find fault. That's why His Majesty attaches so much importance to this young boy. If he leads his troops to suppress the rebellion, I think he will not disappoint Your Majesty. What's important is that this person is still loyal to Your Majesty, and occasionally makes small mistakes and does not lose his righteousness."

Li Longji couldn't help but nod.

Since recalling Gu Qing back to Chang'an, Li Longji felt that Gu Qing was a loyal minister because he was not interested in power. The military power of tens of thousands of people was released as soon as possible, and the status of the princes in Anxi was lost as soon as possible. There was no complaint, and there was no sign of his resignation.

"Maybe...you can try it." Li Longji murmured: "After the Anxi military camp roared, the morale and combat power were sluggish. If you send a new general to command, it may change again. It is better to send a commander who once commanded them. The soldiers know the generals, and the generals know the soldiers. After rectifying the morale, they will still be an invincible royal army."

After making up his mind, Li Longji said sternly: "General Gao, summon Gu Qing to the palace immediately. I want to meet him."

…………

An hour later, Gu Qing stood in the hall, bowed and bowed to the salute.

Li Longji had no extra greetings today and asked, "A dozen days ago, Anxi military camp roared, and thousands of casualties were injured and killed, do you know?"

Gu Qing suddenly looked up and looked at him in shock: "Yingxiao?"

Li Longji said with a gloomy face: "Well, Ying Xiao. Thousands of soldiers were demented and killed each other at night."

Gu Qing couldn't help but feel angry.

Before leaving, he had discussed with Chang Zhong, Shen Tian, ​​Li Siye and others. Gu Qing told them to make trouble so that the emperor had to send him back to Anxi to continue to be the head coach.

Gu Qing meant "make trouble", and the killers actually made a camp roar. With so many robe brothers injured and killed, is this killer going to make a big splash?

Li Longji explained, "Pei Zhounan submitted a memorial to Chang'an. This matter should be his responsibility, and I will deal with Pei Zhounan."

Seeing Gu Qing's expression changing, Li Longji slowly said: "Pei Zhounan is no longer suitable to be the commander of the Anxi Army. He will be replaced soon, but the Anxi Army must be commander. I have thought it is better for you to be the commander of the Anxi Army. After all, you have led the Anxi Army and know the temperament of this iron army. I also heard that you did a great job when you were in Anxi. The soldiers of the Anxi Army were very convinced by you. I feel relieved."

Gu Qing secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

God's will is unpredictable. At this time, he didn't know whether Li Longji said this, whether he really wanted him to return to Anxi to lead the army, or deliberately test it to see if he had the ambition to compete for military power.

So Gu Qing immediately showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "Your Majesty, I have just returned to Chang'an and have not had time to enjoy it. The generals of the Tang Dynasty are like clouds. There is no need to let me, a young man, be the head coach, right?"

He looked at Li Longji carefully, and Gu Qing said shyly: "I am a powerful person. I want to enjoy a few more days of extravagant and flashy days. Today, I plan to buy a few beautiful Kabuki and music classes..."

Li Longji was stunned. No one had ever spoken of indulgence and pleasure so nakedly, and he even said it to him, the emperor.

"You...you guy..." Li Longji was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Gu Qing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, even if you enjoy yourself, you will not delay your work. The position of the General of the Right Guard will definitely live up to your favor. As for the Anxi Army, Your Majesty, I think there is no need for this?"

As Li Longji's expression became more angry, Gu Qing said carefully: "Why... wait for a year and a half before going to Anxi as the head coach? It's too hard to go back and forth for thousands of miles. The desert is windy and sandy, and it's very easy to lose its direction. The road is very dangerous..."

"Shut up to me! Do you think I am discussing with you?" Li Longji said angrily: "I didn't hear the news this morning? An Lushan raised an army to rebel against Tang, and he betrayed me! The rebels have crossed the Yellow River and are attacking Puzhou City. Haven't you heard of these news?"

"I have heard that I will swear to protect Your Majesty to the death. I am willing to defend Chang'an City for Your Majesty." Gu Qing said loudly.

Li Longji was so angry that he said it nicely, but the meaning of the words was still unwilling to leave Chang'an and unwilling to lead the army in Anxi.

So Li Longji suddenly turned cold and said in a stern tone: "Gu Qing, if you disobey your orders and refuse to obey, don't blame me for punishing you. When, where, where, can you still enjoy the powerful and luxurious days?"

Gu Qing trembled all over, showed fear, and lowered his head and said, "Yes, I am wrong, I am willing to obey Your Majesty's order."

Li Longji's tone finally eased a little, and he said coldly: "You will set off to Kucha City tomorrow. I will give you the governor of Anxi. The prince's Shaobao, Guanglu doctor, and purple goldfish bag that he took away, will be returned to you. After returning to Anxi, we will immediately rectify the troops and improve the morale of the soldiers. No matter what method is used, we will restore the combat power of the Anxi Iron Army, and then drive into Yumen Pass, enter Guanzhong, and snipe the rebels of Anlushan bandits!"

Gu Qing bowed and said, "I obey the order."

Holding the ecstasy in his heart, Gu Qing's expression was still calm, and even showed a little unwillingness.

Then Gu Qing said again: "If you want to command the Anxi army, I would also like to ask Your Majesty for some food, grass, war horses and weapons."
