Chapter 582: The interviewer accompanies the expedition
The emperor sent a decree from Chang'an, agreeing to Li Siye's participation in the expedition to the Kingdom of Jieshi, but only as a follower and observer as an interviewer. He was only allowed to observe the battle and evaluate the battle impartially, and was not allowed to participate in any battle, just like a modern military observation group.
Unexpectedly, he also received a letter from Yang Zhao, but he had already begun to call himself Guozhong in the signature. Yang Guozhong showed a slight and disgusting intention to win over him in the letter. It is difficult to imagine that this person is related to him.
The last time they met, he almost severed his relationship with the Yang family because of jealousy. He said in his letter that he sincerely wanted to form an offensive and defensive alliance with him this time, and that his previous alliance just treated him as an outsider.
pastime.
Yang Zhao said that the emperor would allow him to participate in Gao Xianzhi's expedition to the Kingdom of Jie. He was the one who said good things behind his back, so let's assume that what he said was true. He also formulated the next development plan for Li Siye, hoping that Li Siye would follow Gao Xianzhi.
, try your best to find loopholes in the opponent's command, and then report it to the emperor.
To put it simply, he plays the role of a black man and a troll, using public opinion and words to discredit the other party, and finally influences the emperor to make the other party step down, thus achieving his purpose of replacing the other party.
Look at this person's ability level. He is only suitable to be a naked traitor and villain. Can't he use a more subtle method to do evil without any cover, not even a mask to hide his shame?
I really don’t blame him for this, because the saints of the late Tianbao period were on strike, and Li Linfu didn’t need too much technical content in his work, which made Yang Zhao unconsciously lower his level. Because the Right Prime Minister Li Linfu represented the politics of the Tang Dynasty
Even if others want to raise the ceiling of their fighting ability, they will never be able to reach it.
Although Yang Zhao's sudden change in attitude is puzzling, if you think about it deeper, you can quickly find the reason. Because in the middle and late stages of Tianbao, Yang Guozhong began to become more mature, and his horizons gradually expanded. He would not catch a Glory to join him.
The favored general was treated as a major enemy as if he was delusional. His enemy on the road to power has gradually become clear, and he is Li Linfu, who he once worked with in complicity.
In fact, the two of them belong to the same kind of people. They are equally jealous of talents and have a strong desire for power. It's just that Yang Guozhong can stretch his hips in all directions without blind spots. He is simply a super low-end version of Li Linfu. The gap is wider than the gap between Land Rover and Land Wind.
.I believe that Li Linfu didn't think highly of Yang Zhao at all at first, and treated him as a silly relative of Concubine Yang's family. But Yang Guozhong was not really stupid, and he also had merits, otherwise he would not have won the emperor's favor. In addition,
With the blessing of his cousin Yang Guifei, Li Linfu really underestimated his ability, so he ended up in a passive position.
The quiet confrontation between Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu made Li Siye realize that the golden period of his development in Qixi Longyou was coming. He could side with Yang Guozhong and use the contradiction between the two to develop his own strength. At least their attention would not be on
Beiting Anxi Lai will not be placed on the head of a merchant guild that hides a thriving trade route.
Just after the Yuanzheng period of this year, he personally ordered Cen Shen and Yan Xiaosi, and took Yan Xiaosi to lead dozens of tooth soldiers to Qiuci. Since he was participating as an interviewer of Longyou Road, what kind of family banner was there?
I didn't take any of the six seals with me, I only went there with the knot and the seal.
Cen Shen was nervous but excited. Since he came to Qixi, he had never experienced a war. After going through the day and night, he longed to experience a flesh-and-blood war. Li Siye broke his illusion: "A war is just a war."
Don’t count on it, we will definitely not let you participate, but you can watch the battle from a distance. I believe that a great poet like you will be able to create beautiful poems after seeing the iron horses and the arrows raining like locusts."
They passed through the yellow sand of the desert. They stood on the top of the sand dunes and looked at the red sun spreading on the dunes in the distance, baking the golden sand into rosy red. Cen Shen looked up and suddenly chanted: "Guests in the Yellow Sand Moraine"
As I was wandering, I looked around at the clouds and the sky, which were looking straight down. In order to say that the sky will be gone when the earth is gone, I walked to Anxi and turned further west."
Li Siye controlled himself not to applaud, nor did he shout hoarsely like the generals did. He felt that this was a slight and humiliation to the poets, and he just thought it was pleasant and comfortable. Any overly exaggerated performance would
It will make Poet Cen feel like he is being played.
"Good poems and beautiful scenery. Let's go."
When they entered Kucha City, they discovered that Gao Xianzhi was already preparing to leave. Fortunately, Chang'an's decree was delivered quickly. If they had left two or three years later, they would have missed each other and had to chase them all the way from behind.
Congling.
The two met on the streets of the city. There was a horizontal blow in front of Prime Minister Gao Gao to clear the way. The tooth soldiers were guarding both sides with horizontal knives. There was a door banner in front and six banners on the left and right. The staff followed him. It seemed that
It is majestic and majestic, without losing the style of a military governor.
Li Siye raised his hand and praised: "Prime Minister Gao, congratulations in advance on your victory and your return from the expedition."
Gao Xianzhi smiled blandly: "Thank you, Doctor Li."
"You should have seen the decree sent by the saint to you, right? Si Ye is just standing by and acting like a pimple, and will never affect the general's command. The evaluation after the battle will be close to the truth. We must maintain absolute fairness.
With the relationship between you and me, you don’t have to worry about this matter."
"Of course I won't worry. This battle has been planned for a long time, and there will definitely be no mistakes. But I have to ask Doctor Li for more advice." Hearing these words, Gao Xianzhi's outspokenness fully exposed Gao Xianzhi's attitude toward him.
grudge.
"Prime Minister Gao Gao, please rest assured that I, Li Siye, will do what I say. If I say I won't participate, I won't participate. I will never try to do anything wrong in front of you."
After a brief conversation, the two finally reached an agreement through trial and error. They joined Gao Xianzhi's team and walked with him, and began to cross the Baima River in the direction of Diazhuang City.
During this expedition, Gao Xianzhi led a team of 6,000 people. Zhao Chongxun's Shule Army still had 2,000 people waiting in Shule City. Since the personnel this time were more streamlined and the army was more sophisticated, each person carried a pack horse, fresh water, and dry food.
, equipment, and arrows were all loaded on horseback, and they were advancing forward in the long yellow sand of the Gobi Desert.
When Li Siye and Gao Xianzhi were walking side by side, the other generals in the army took the initiative to leave behind them. The two men had similar official ranks and their different experiences did not make them too alienated.
"Siye, if you have any suggestions for me on this expedition to the Jie Shi Kingdom, I want to hear your truth, not those nice words that are just whitewash."
He turned around and looked at Gao Xianzhi's face. Seeing that the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, he smiled and said: "This expedition is much easier than the last time. The departure route is also the original Congling Road, and there are no more enemies."
It was the Tubo people back then, and it became easier to fight with fewer soldiers and supplies. This is actually your exhibition match, a standard long-distance attack with no suspense."
