Thousands of armies lined up, thousands of horses neighed, and the rumbling drums of the attack seemed to beat on people's hearts. Each drum beat was like a prelude to harvesting human lives.

Two armies belonging to the Tang Dynasty were going to meet each other on the battlefield today. Ge Shuhan didn't know what Gu Qing was thinking. He only knew that when the general of the Anxi Army gave the order to prepare to release arrows, he was under tremendous pressure. Back then,

He had never endured such tremendous pressure when he led his army to attack Shibao City.

The white command flag of the Anxi Army is raised high, and thousands of archers are already stringing their arrows, with their bows full of moon. Once the command flag is waved down, and thousands of arrows are shot out, the two armies will officially start the war.

As a result of this battle, Gu Qing may be severely punished, and may even be dismissed from office and imprisoned. But Ge Shuhan will not get better either. In the final analysis, he was at fault first. While the emperor punished Gu Qing severely, he also did not

Maybe he was spared.

When two armies confront each other, the first priority is morale.

The officers and soldiers of the Hexi Army were panicked. Most of them didn't even know why they were fighting the Anxi Army, or why the armies of the Tang Dynasty were fighting among themselves. They were carried away by the generals to the Yumen Pass to set up their formations, and they lined up in confusion to wait for the enemy. Finally, they were confused.

Watching Anxi's army prepare for a decisive battle.

So, what are we doing? What are we fighting for?

But the officers and soldiers of the Anxi Army knew exactly what they were doing.

They knew that their horses had been robbed, and if someone dared to rob the Anxi Army's belongings, the King of Heaven would fight him. And the coach Gu Qing did not disappoint the soldiers, even if the opponent was Ge Shuhan, who had great military exploits.

They still pulled out their troops to get into position, and even ordered to take the initiative to attack.

I have a halberd in my hand, a bow and arrows, passion in my heart, and my invincible aura. Why should I be bullied?

The drumbeat of the attack became more and more urgent, and Ge Shuhan's heartbeat also became faster and faster with the rhythm of the drumbeat.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Ge Shuhan knew that once the drums stopped and the flags fell, today's conflict between the two armies could never be reversed. His career would be severely damaged.

Gu Qing is a madman, but his brother Shu Han is not.

Li Wenyi became increasingly panicked, and he could not bear the consequences of today's conflict between the two armies.

"Commander, please order a truce quickly? Otherwise we will be in great trouble!" Li Wenyi shouted anxiously.

Geshu Han's teeth are almost broken? After fighting for half his life, he has never been as embarrassed and helpless as he is today.

"Madman! Madman! This bastard doesn't want to live, so he wants to drag this handsome man along with him? Madman!" Ge Shuhan looked up to the sky and roared angrily.

Just when the drum beat was about to stop, a fast horse galloped out of the formation of the Hexi Army, holding high a flag with red letters on a black background, which was the handsome flag representing Ge Shuhan himself.

"Anxi Army, stop! Ge Shujieshuai wants to talk to Lord Gu, stop it!" The knight on horseback shouted as he approached the formation of Anxi Army.

The forward general of the Anxi army still held the command flag high, and turned a deaf ear to the words of the knights on horseback. In front of the two armies, the general only obeyed the orders of the commander of his own army.

Soon, a guard came galloping from the center of the Anxi Army and said a few words to the general holding the flag high. The general responded to the order and immediately shouted: "Bows and arrows, retreat!"

With a bang, thousands of archers loosened their tight arrow strings and took three steps back in unison.

The knight of the Hexi Army on the opposite side looked pale, but he breathed a sigh of relief. He had only ridden a short distance on horseback, but his body was so exhausted that he almost fell off his horse.

At this time, the knight was only ten feet away from the forward of the Anxi Army. The general who just raised the flag stared at the knight of the Hexi Army and said coldly: "I am asking the general of Anxi Jiedu, Lord Gu, for questioning. Ge Shujieshuai can Are you willing to return the war horse?"

The knight was stunned and looked back for help.

Then the knight gritted his teeth and said: "Ge Shujieshuai would like to meet Lord Gu to talk. Please bring this message to Lord Gu."

The forward general of the Anxi Army was silent for a moment, nodded, and passed the message to Gu Qing of the Chinese Army.

After a long time, dozens of Gu Qing's personal guards came on horseback and silently set up a simple pergola in the center between the two army formations. The pergola had a roof and was covered with low tables and futons. The low tables and even A jar of wine and two wine cups were placed.

Ge Shuhan, the governor of Hexi Province on the opposite side, saw the pergola from a distance and immediately understood its meaning, so he rode out of the array alone and galloped towards the pergola alone.

After Ge Shuhan dismounted and sat down cross-legged on the futon in the pergola, Gu Qing also rode out from the array and walked slowly and leisurely to the pergola and dismounted.

The two armies are still facing each other, and the two sides are at war with each other.

But the commanders of the two armies were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion in the center of the battlefield. The scene was once very strange, but it also revealed a cruel poetry, a blood-red romance unique to men.

In the chilly air, two wine cups were filled with wine, and Gu Qing handed it to Ge Shuhan with both hands with a smile.

As soon as Ge Shuhan stretched out his hand, he suddenly paused, then stretched out his hands to take it.

"Brother Shu is so handsome. We have been friends for a long time. You and I should be humble and win." Gu Qing finished speaking with a smile and drank up the wine cup in his hand.

Ge Shuhan was still furious in his heart, but he drank it all in one gulp, slammed the wine cup on the table, and then snorted angrily.

Today's Ge Shuhan was driven to the point of losing all his majesty by Gu Qing. Before the two armies were about to break out, asking his generals to call for a truce was actually a disguised form of submission. The soldiers of the Hexi Army had seen it with their own eyes. It would take a long time to restore the coercion of the former commander. How many days.

"Gu Qing, this is the first time we have met you. You have given me a lot of experience." Brother Shuhan glared at him, his eyes seemed to burst out of fire, and said coldly: "I know countless famous ministers and generals, but only You are the most lawless, do you know what the consequences of what you did today will be?"

Gu Qing poured wine for his brother Shu Han with a smile, and said: "Don't be upset, Commander-in-Chief, everything in the world has a cause and effect. The fact that I am standing in front of Yumen Pass today is not a cause, but a result. As for the cause, Commander-in-Chief knows better than me."

Ge Shuhan said coldly: "For a mere five thousand horses, you have such a battle? Don't you want your future or your life?"

"Jie Shuai is wrong again. What I want is not five thousand war horses, but justice. I don't like bullying others, but I also don't like others bullying me. Whoever robs me must seek justice at any cost, otherwise It’s hard to get rid of the inner demons in life and it’s hard to calm down the mind.”

Ge Shuhan said angrily: "If I refuse to have a truce today and have to fight with your Anxi Army, have you thought about how it will end?"

Gu Qing said calmly: "Then let's fight once. No matter how many are killed or injured, no matter how the emperor punishes us, it will be after the war. At least the justice I want, the swords of the soldiers of the Anxi Army have been recovered for me."

Ge Shuhan was stunned. He stared at Gu Qing for a long time and then spat out a few words between his teeth: "Gu Qing, you are a madman."

Gu Qing smiled: "Don't be surprised if you are handsome. Most of the time, I am still normal. I only get sick occasionally..."

Taking a slow sip of wine, Gu Qing said leisurely: "The two armies are still in formation preparing for battle. What do you mean by Commander-in-Chief? Should we continue to fight or return the war horse to me?"

Ge Shuhan's face turned pale, he pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

Returning the war horse is a complete surrender. If you continue to fight, your future and life are not guaranteed. As an adult, how should you choose?

Normal adults will make the right choice. Although Ge Shuhan is a warrior, he is not stupid. I don't know how Gu Qing will explain to Chang'an next. At least his brother Shuhan cannot be buried with him.

"The war horse... is returned to you!" Ge Shuhan glared at him angrily and burst out a few words one by one.

Gu Qing still smiled easily, raised his glass and saluted him, and said: "The ugly words are ahead, I know that the territory of the Hexi Jiedushi Mansion is on the road that must pass between Chang'an and Anxi. If there is any food, grass and war horses in the court in the future,

and weapons and other supplies. When passing through the territory of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy's Office, they also asked Marshal Geshu to show his noble hand. Anxi faced Tibet and food. It was not easy for tens of thousands of soldiers to guard the border. Not even a grain of rice could be given to them.

Less, otherwise you and I will inevitably make troubles as unpleasant as today."

Ge Shuhan said with a gloomy expression: "Are you threatening me?"

Gu Qing laughed and said: "It's just a normal request. It should be my thing, and no trace of it should be missing... Ge Shujieshuai, don't glare, and don't show murderous intent. Believe me, I can't control myself even if I go crazy. Who can

If he dares to put his hand into my basket, I will risk my life to chop off his hand. I am born with such a reckless temper. I didn’t know how much trouble I got into when I was in Chang’an. In fact, there are many misunderstandings about me. I got into trouble.

It is always others who provoke me first. When others do not provoke me, I am mostly as gentle as jade, pure and honest..."

Ge Shuhan felt a surge of negative energy in his chest.

"Gentle as jade, pure and honest"...

How thick-skinned do you have to say such shameless words? The bows and arrows of the Anxi Army behind you are still pointing at me. How dare you say "pure and honest"?

There was nowhere to vent his anger. Ge Shuhan had been on the battlefield for many years and had a fiery temper. But at this moment, he did not dare to get angry in front of Gu Qing.

The one who is horizontal is afraid of being stunned, and the one who is stunned is afraid of losing his life.

People who are desperate for their lives are at the top of the food chain in human society. There is no doubt that a person as violent as Ge Shuhan would not dare to act arrogant in front of Gu Qing, because in his eyes Gu Qing is a madman who will do irreparable unnecessary things at any time after being stimulated.

The decision of his fate, when he went to hell, also dragged him into hell.

Picking up the wine jar on the low table, Ge Shuhan drank most of the wine from the mouth of the jar.

Gu Qing put down the wine cup regretfully. This man was not particular at all, and a whole jar of wine was wasted by him.

The desert, the yellow sand, the ancient road, the pass, and the two armies were at war with each other. In front of the two armies, the two armored commanders sat and drank, chatting and laughing without any grudges. What a wonderful scene. This matter may be recorded in the history of Qing Dynasty in the future.

It’s a story that will last forever.

It's a pity that one of the people involved in the story has a bad temper. He has drunk most of the wine, but his anger seems to be getting bigger and bigger. And his anger is visible and tangible, because his belly is getting bigger and bigger.

It's full of anger that can't be vented.
