Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh Shi parting three days when the eyes are split
He stood on the ground, facing Gao Xianzhi who was wearing a red cloak and a maroon horse outside the camp gate, crossing his hands and said: "Li Siye welcomes General Gao to come as a guest."
Gao Xianzhi got off his horse and his followers also dismounted and followed the general towards the camp gate.
Li Siye walked with him and extended his hand to invite him to lead the way along the slope to the earthen fortress. Gao Xianzhi glanced at the layout of the camp and nodded secretly.
The entire military camp was operating in an orderly manner. The soldiers on duty strictly stood upright at their posts, and there were personal soldiers patrolling back and forth to check the posts. The fighting on the ring was still going on. The soldiers of each regiment below sat in a square formation, with their backs straight, and there were no strange sitting postures.
It was like a uniform pottery figurine. From the location of the arena, the camp wall and the sentry tower could be seen, but the soldiers on duty were not attracted by the excitement. They all stood facing outside the camp gate. No one was sitting or lying down, and no one was chatting.
.
Gao Xianzhi was secretly shocked. Li Siye followed Fumeng Lingcha back to Beijing to express his merits only in March this year, which meant that he took over the Tiaodang Camp in just a few months. He did not inform the other party before coming, and it was impossible to do so.
Gao Xianzhi knew how difficult it was to be able to make his mark on Tiaodang Camp in just a few months, so he couldn't be more shocked.
He squinted his eyes, opened them again, and looked towards the ring. Two armored soldiers were fighting each other with wooden swords. He could tell that this was really a desperate fight, not a free-for-all. From the strength of the two swords swings,
, as well as the movements when dodging, as well as the tense expressions of the soldiers, you can tell that except for the weapons being made of wood, the rest are no different from actual combat.
Regarding Li Siye, he became increasingly confused. Is this still the Congling Shoujie who only had some tricks?
"General Gao please."
"Oh." Gao Xianzhi hid the look of surprise on his face, and then turned back after being stunned, and walked towards the earth fort at Li Siye's invitation.
"I heard that you used fifty people as internal agents to defeat Talas City. Your Majesty personally rewarded you for being promoted to two levels in a row. Although General Zhonglang is only a casual official, he has a fourth-level ranking.
It’s also unprecedented.”
Li Siye chuckled. He didn't know what to say. Being modest seemed hypocritical, while boasting seemed arrogant.
"Actually, I didn't meet the saint at all. I was not qualified to participate in the celebration banquet of Huacalyx Xianghui Tower. I just waited for two days and went to the back yard of Pingkangfang to do the ritual. Fumeng Duhu personally announced the edict.
That’s when I got the news.”
"No matter what, you are the fastest-promoted official in Anxi over the years."
The two of them walked into the hall. Li Siye invited Gao Xianzhi to sit on the carpet, and he knelt down opposite him. He crossed his hands and said, "My place is very simple and I didn't have time to prepare tea sets, so I can only ask you to do it."
Sit down, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
"No problem, I just came to see you. I didn't expect that in just two years, I was stuck in Khotan for some reason. You have made great achievements and you have almost caught up with me."
Li Siye quickly added: "Now that the general has returned to serve as the governor of Yanqi, isn't it time that the time has come and he will be promoted step by step?"
"Hehe, I would like to lend you some good words for this."
The two briefly chatted for a few words, and Li Siye felt that Gao Xianzhi's attitude towards him had become more subtle. It was far less relaxed than the last time when he was demoted and passed by Diazhuang City.
, is also so easy to change and elusive.
Gao Xianzhi stood up and said goodbye: "Today's visit is exactly what Sun Quan said. You should treat each other with admiration after three days apart. Li Siye, you have changed a lot. If there is an opportunity for us to get together again, I will take my leave for now."
"Then I'll give it to you."
He followed Gao Xianzhi out of the earthen fortress hall, and General Gao's twelve followers followed behind him one after another, holding horses. Li Siye looked at these people a few more times, and the followers had cold and monotonous expressions, and the murderous look on their brows was restrained, which must be the result of his experience.
A veteran of hundreds of battles, Gao Xianzhi has a deeper background than himself. He has been working as a general in the Western Regions for many years, and the talents he has accumulated under his command should be far better than those of Tian Zhen, Teng Muyan, Xiaosi and others.
Duan Xiu is not included in this list. Duan, like him, is an immeasurable variable.
Cheers and applause suddenly erupted from the school grounds below the ramp, and the armored boy on the ring raised the wooden knife in his hand.
"Champion! Champion!"
Gao Xianzhi turned to look at Li Siye in surprise, waiting for his proactive answer.
"Oh, it's just a game-like competition. Everyone in the battalion takes part. It is held once a month to determine the first place. As for the title, it is taken from the meaning of Hou Yong, the champion of Huo Piao and Yao, and the three armies."
"Not bad," Gao Xianzhi stopped, stared at the soldiers on the stage and looked carefully, then turned back to the entourage behind him and asked: "Which of you dares to compete with this champion on stage."
As soon as Gao Xianzhi finished speaking, someone stepped forward and crossed his arms and said, "Envoy Gao Zhen, I'm going to try this brother's martial arts!"
This man took off the red cloak behind him and handed it to his companion along with the sword at his waist. He ran a few steps quickly, jumped up a little on the ring fence, and landed lightly into the ring.
The champion is Guo Xin, the captain of the team under the command of the captain Qiu Luan. He is holding a wooden sword in both hands and is immersed in the joy of victory. He is not surprised by the opponent who suddenly jumped up. He just waved his hand: "Go down, the champion is already there."
If it happens, if you don’t accept it, we’ll fight again next month.”
The attendant said with a cold face: "I am not interested in the so-called champion, I am just looking for you to compete."
Guo Xin laughed ferociously: "Okay, where are your weapons?"
The man turned his head and looked outside the field and said loudly: "Can someone lend me the wooden knife?"
"Use mine!"
A person close to the ring reached out and threw a wooden knife over. This person reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife and threw it from his right hand to his left hand. He held the knife in one hand and stared at Guo Xin with squinted eyes and said: "You just went through several battles, and I can't win."
Wu, so I use my left hand, and you can use both hands."
This obviously contemptuous words angered Guo Xin: "Stop talking nonsense, come on!"
The two of them moved slowly around the field, staring at each other's shoulders. Their feet took very small and steady steps, almost grazing the ground as if they could land and take root at any time. The wooden knife in Guo Xin's hand suddenly slashed out, and the air released
There was a crashing sound, and the two had already had a brief confrontation. The opponent did not move, Guo Xin just quickly retreated after the lightning struck.
The soldiers who were watching held their breaths, and even Li Siye opened his eyes with interest. Gao Xianzhi stood aside with his cloak covered and looked sideways, seemingly indifferent, but in fact his heart was tingling.
Guo Xin charged forward again, slashing straight at the opponent's head with a single sword. His chest was wide open, and the opponent's knife head was tilted upward. The cracking sound sounded again. Everyone could clearly see that dust was blown out of his chest.
Guo Xin shrank back, the muscles on his face twitched and he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm: "This is not the way we went to camp, we were careless just now."
He quickly dodged a knife, and used the contact between the knife heads to jump up. The opponent quickly retreated, and he rolled on the ground. The knife in his hand struck the opponent's calf. The two of them stood back to their original positions, watching the explosion in the array.
There were loud cheers.
"good!"
The man bent down and rubbed his calf, then stood upright, threw the handle of the knife into his right hand, and smiled coldly: "It's a bit interesting."
"Ha!" Guo Xin shouted violently, and struck out with the wooden knife in his hand at a tricky angle. The opponent quickly squatted down, swung the knife on the top of his head and slashed, bang! The two of them retreated.
The opponent changed the knife to his left hand again, wiped his sore right hand on the corner of his clothes, kicked off his hind legs and suddenly rushed forward, speeding up his speed and slashing three times in a row. Guo Xin was in the middle of it, and could feel the impact of these three swords.
Fierce. He blocked the opponent's impact forcefully, and the blade suddenly changed and brushed against his shoulder. He continued to retreat, and when he could no longer retreat, he jumped onto the railing of the ring, and jumped down with the help of his body, shouting loudly.
A cry: "I'll cut it!"
The opponent couldn't retreat in time, so he held the blade with both hands and resisted hard. In an instant, the wooden knife snapped into two pieces. The wooden knife in Guo Xin's hand had already struck his shoulder, causing him to take two steps back and stagger, and it took him a while to stabilize his body.
Guo Xin drew the knife and stepped back, holding the handle of the knife in his hand and saying with a smile: "I accept it."
This man was obviously furious and unconvinced. He shouted to everyone around him: "Who has a wooden knife? Throw me a knife!"
