Anyone who has heard of Gu Qing in Chang'an knows that Gu Qing is really courageous.

No one believed that he dared to rob the prison, but he just did it.

No one believed that he dared to kill the governor, but he did it anyway.

At this moment, Wang Sili couldn't believe that he dared to provoke a conflict between the two major military towns. However, 20,000 Anxi troops came all the way from Qiuci to Yangguan. There were many halberds and murderous intent. Could it be that they came to help Geshu?

A man wishing you a happy birthday?

Wang Sili's expression changed. He looked at Gu Qing's expression hesitantly and said, "Master Gu, do you really dare..."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "You think I don't dare?"

Wang Sili gritted his teeth and said: "Master Gu, Anxi and Hexi are both important towns in the Tang Dynasty. If these two towns use weapons without permission, please consider the consequences."

Gu Qing squinted his eyes and smiled: "I just want to ask you one thing, my five thousand war horses, brother Shuhan still won't return it?"

Wang Sili said with a stiff expression: "I don't understand what the Marquis said. I don't know anything about the five thousand horses."

Gu Qing clicked his tongue and said: "Your Hexi Army is really... very thick-skinned from top to bottom. You don't acknowledge what you just did in the blink of an eye. General Wang, maybe you haven't heard of me, but

Let me tell you, no one can snatch anything from my hand, not even a stitch or a thread. I will chop off the hand of anyone who dares to snatch it. I am leading the army here today just to chop off the hands of your Hexi Army."

Wang Sili suppressed his anger and said: "General, I would like to ask the Marquis to think twice. If the two armies fight, the consequences will be serious. Your Majesty will definitely punish you, and the soldiers under the Marquis' command will not escape Chang'an's punishment."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Now that we know the consequences, why did Ge Shuhan steal my war horse? General Wang, if Your Majesty pursues this matter, your Ge Shujieshuai seems to be the culprit. Your Hexi Army provoked the first, and our Anxi Army was forced to

If you fight back, I will take charge of the lawsuit if it comes before His Majesty."

Wang Sili was silent for a long time, clasping his fists and saying: "Master Hou, please ask General Rong Mo to return to Liangzhou to report to the Commander-in-Chief. This matter is too involved? General Rong cannot make the decision."

Gu Qing snorted and said: "Let's go. The Anxi Army will still march towards Liangzhou as planned? Before our Anxi Army reaches Liangzhou City? If we don't see Ge Shuhan return the horses? Then we will meet each other in battle. Anyway, it will be a disaster.

I've already made trouble, so I don't mind making it worse. If the emperor punishes me, I will share the blame with Ge Shujieshuai. If someone shares the blame with me, my heart will be balanced."

Wang Sili's expression changed a lot, and he looked at Gu Qing seriously.

This legendary young prince is really as lawless as the rumors say.

Ge Shujieshuai's momentary greed finally led to trouble? No one could believe it? The commander of the Anxi Army was actually such a vengeful person? Those five thousand war horses really didn't dare to be captured.

After Wang Sili clasped his fists and left, Pei Zhounan walked into the commander's tent and said with a worried look on his face: "Master Marquis, it's still too late to withdraw our troops at this time. Why don't you withdraw to Qiuci before causing a big disaster? It's just a waste of some food and grass?"

How can I make a difference for the Marquis? What if the Marquis really comes into conflict with the Hexi Army? I really don’t know what to say..."

Gu Qing said coldly: "To tell the truth, the Anxi Army will not withdraw its troops unless we return these five thousand war horses."

Pei Zhounan stared at Gu Qing and sighed secretly.

After spending many days together, he has gradually come to understand Gu Qing's character. This marquis has a soft character on the outside but is strong on the inside. He is firm-willed and decisive in killing. He never changes his mind. Frankly speaking, the Anxi Army

Having such a coach was indeed a blessing to tens of thousands of soldiers, but having such a minister in the Tang Dynasty was an unstable variable.

…………

Two days later, the army arrived at Yumen Pass.

Scout Pegasus rushed back to report that ten miles ahead, the Hexi Army was arrayed outside Yumen Pass. The number of soldiers was about 10,000, and they were in an attack formation waiting for the arrival of the Anxi Army. The leader was Ge Shuhan, the military envoy of Hexi Province.

Gu Qing smiled when he heard this.

Are we finally going to meet this legendary general?

I didn't expect that my first meeting with a famous general would be like this. It's a pity to think about it.

However, the famous general who robbed me is no longer a famous general, but an enemy.

"Where is Li Siye?" Gu Qing shouted on his horse.

Li Siye galloped over on horseback, clasping his fists and saying, "The end is here!"

"You lead the three thousand swordsmen under your command forward and form a front line."

"yes!"

"Liu Hongbo, where is Gao Lang?"

"The end is here!"

"You two each lead five thousand cavalry, and flank the Hexi Army ten miles away from the left and right."

"yes!"

"Where is Chang Zhong?"

"The end is here!"

"You lead 5,000 archers to line up the central army and escort them behind Modao Camp."

"yes!"

A series of orders were issued, and the Anxi army suddenly became fierce and murderous.

The team slowly formed a formation while marching. When it was still ten miles away from the Hexi Army, the Anxi Army had already completed its formation, and the forward scouts of both sides had met. The Anxi Army scouts took the lead in shooting cold arrows at the Hexi Army scouts. Unexpectedly, the Hexi Army scouts

The other party actually dared to take the lead and fired back immediately. After a fierce battle, both sides suffered casualties.

At the same time, the forward Modao Battalion had arrived outside Yumen Pass and was far away from the Hexi Army. The two armies were only three miles apart. Outside Yumen Pass, only two groups of black clouds were seen confronting each other, and the sky was densely covered with battle clouds.

Ge Shuhan, the military governor of Hexi Province, was wearing a helmet and riding a horse in the middle of the army. He looked at the soldiers and horses of the Anxi army in the distance and had formed a formation. Ge Shuhan's eyes narrowed and his eyes were shining with light.

Gu Qing, this brat, actually led the army to attack. The scouts from both sides had already fought and caused casualties. For the sake of five thousand war horses, did he really dare to fight against the Hexi Army?

Then Ge Shuhan squinted his eyes and looked at the Anxi Army's forward array again, and then looked startled. He couldn't help but ride his horse to the front and carefully observe the Anxi Army's forward array.

After observing for a long time, the pupils in Ge Shuhan's eyes suddenly shrank, and his expression became more and more shocked.

He saw clearly the types of troops at the vanguard of the Anxi Army.

It turned out to be Mo Daoshou!

There are a total of three thousand Mo Dao hands, each holding a Mo Dao that is more than two feet long. There is a distance of ten feet between people. They look empty, but Ge Shuhan knows that this loose array is for Mo Dao.

Leave enough space when swinging. Once the enemy's horses and soldiers break into the Mo Dao array, they will be minced by the Mo Dao in the blink of an eye, turning into a pile of minced meat that cannot be put together.

Ge Shuhan took a deep breath, still unable to calm down the shock in his heart.

How could Gu Qing afford three thousand Mo Swordsmen? How much money and material would it cost? However, once they were used on the battlefield, as long as they occupied favorable terrain, three thousand Mo Swordsmen could hold back thousands of troops.

What a big gesture! What a big financial resource! Looking at the Anxi Army in the distance at this moment, there is no murderous aura emanating from them, it is clearly a strong aura of wealth.

Ge Shuhan was simply envious and jealous of these three thousand swordsmen.

None of the generals in the Tang Dynasty wanted to have an invincible Mo Dao camp, but this guy with no hair did it. How rich was this guy? He had the confidence to support three thousand Mo Dao.

Hands, does his family have any mines?

He secretly sighed. Ge Shuhan's mood was very complicated at the moment. It was obviously the moment when the two armies were fighting, but he had an illusion of powerlessness, just like two young people fighting each other for wealth. Unfortunately, Ge Shuhan

He was even beaten down in a crushing manner.

Compared with the wealthy Anxi Army, the Hexi Army is simply a group of beggars. They don't deserve to be called the Hexi Army, let alone the Beggars.

Soon, a man and a horse from the formation on the opposite side galloped out, holding small black flags in their hands and sprinted to the front of the Hexi Army formation.

The rider on the horse was a young and burly man, holding a flag and shouting loudly: "According to the military order of Gu Houye, the military governor of Anxi, if the military governor of Hexi does not return the five thousand horses in half an hour, the Anxi army will launch an attack!"

Ge Shuhan's face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are so arrogant!"

The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard behind him, and a middle-aged civil servant rode his horse forward and stopped next to Ge Shuhan.

Like the Anxi Protectorate, the Hexi Jiedushi Mansion also had a supervisor. This civilian official was the supervisor of the Hexi Jiedushi Mansion, and his name was Li Wenyi. Li Longji would not trust anyone easily.

At this moment, Li Wenyi was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He leaned into Ge Shuhan's ear and urged him hard: "Commander Jie, it's still too late to withdraw the troops at this time. If the Anxi Army really launches an attack, there will be casualties on both sides, and your Majesty will definitely hold him accountable.

Of course, Gu Qing cannot escape the responsibility for his crime, and you, Marshal Jies, will also be severely punished, even if you are a low-ranking official..."

Ge Shuhan said coldly: "If this commander is easily frightened by a young boy like Gu Qing, wouldn't it be that his majesty in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies is completely ruined, and how can he lead the Hexi Army in the future?"

Li Wenyi sighed: "Commander Jie, let me tell you the truth. Gu Qing, the official, once asked his colleagues in Chang'an that he had caused many troubles in Chang'an. He was the governor of Shangzhou and a dignified fourth-rank official. He said that he would kill Gu Qing."

He will kill without hesitation. He uses this to show his cruelty. If he said he would launch an attack in half an hour, then he will definitely do what he said. He will be honest and handsome. If the two armies take action, no matter who is justified and who is unreasonable, our future will be at stake.

It’s over!”

Ge Shuhan's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time.

Li Wenyi added: "Commander Jie, don't blame me for being blunt. The root cause of this matter is actually you, Commander Jie. If Commander Jie had not detained the five thousand horses of the Anxi Army, the two armies would not have been in the current confrontation in front of the battle line."

Now that we are in a position, if the emperor knows the whole story in the future, I am afraid that Commander Ji will be guilty of an even greater crime than Gu Qing. Commander Commander Ji, please think twice, the two armies must not conflict!"

Ge Shuhan said with a gloomy face: "The imperial court gave Anxi 10,000 war horses, but did not give me the Hexi Army. Not only the war horses, but also the food and grass for this spring have not been allocated by the court. The Hexi Army has been difficult to maintain, especially this commander-in-chief."

Feeling dissatisfied, he seized 5,000 war horses. I didn’t expect the Anxi army commander to be so irritable..."

Li Wenyi smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone has his own destiny and his own opportunities. I heard that Gu Qing had a close friendship with Right Minister Yang Guozhong when he was in Chang'an..."

Before he finished speaking, the Anxi Army on the opposite side suddenly moved. As the white flags of the flanking generals waved down, the three thousand swordsmen slowly advanced forward together. They advanced for a mile before stopping, and then they all shouted loudly:

"kill!"

The sound shook the sky, the sky and the earth were low, the yellow sand suddenly flew up, and the murderous aura filled the air and lingered for a long time.

One man and one horse galloped out of the formation again, galloped to the front of the Hexi Army formation, and shouted: "Half an hour is up!"

Ge Shuhan and Li Wenyi felt nervous and looked around. Behind Mo Daoshou, thousands of archers were slowly marching on the sand, stopping in formation thirty steps behind Mo Dao's camp, then stringing their arrows and bows full of moon.

A general rode a horse and galloped back and forth in the Anxi army formation, waving the command flag in his hand, and shouted: "Bows and arrows are ready——"

"Kill——!" Thousands of archers shouted in unison.

Ge Shuhan was horrified, and the formation of the Hexi Army began to be turbulent. There was a small commotion among the soldiers.

At this time, Ge Shuhan finally confirmed that Gu Qing really dared to attack the Hexi Army.
Chapter completed!
