Gao Xianzhi is strong and has a fair face. She doesn't look like a Goguryeo, but she looks a bit like a Han Chinese.

However, the Goguryeo people originally had many Han people's remains, and deep down they also hoped that they were a Han person.

"Ambassador, the troops are ready." Deputy General Li Siye urged him to step forward and whispered to him.

"Okay, okay" Gao Xianzhi was very happy. He looked around and said to Cheng Qianli: "This place of protection will be entrusted to you."

"Amnesty is safe and sure, and I will be sure to do everything. I wish the ambassador a victory and success." Cheng Qianli smiled.

"I don't know when the reinforcements from the court will come. Our army is out in full swing this time. If the reinforcements arrive late, the tribes are afraid of any abnormal movement." Duan Xiushi, the Lang general who followed Li Siye, whispered.

Gao Xianzhi glanced at him with some dissatisfaction.

This guy is most used to pouring cold water on him, and his words are a little harsh. If he hadn't had some skills, Gao Xianzhi would have been unable to tolerate him long ago.

Gao Xianzhi had been preparing for this expedition for a long time. In order to obtain support from the court, he returned to Chang'an in the name of offering prisoners in the nine years of Tianbao. He stayed until ten years of Tianbao before leaving until April, and had already made the way for Gao Lishi and Yang Zhao. The court was willing to fully support him in this expedition.

If there is a voice of objection, Ye Chang is the outside, and Duan Xiushi is the inside. However, Duan Xiushi is low in office and small in power, and has little influence on him, but Ye Chang is not the case. Ye Chang is high in office and power. In recent years, Ye Chang has become the number one person in border affairs in the Tang Dynasty. His opinions have had a great impact on the center of the court. If it were not for this, Gao Xianzhi would not have to go to Beijing to explain specifically.

"Xiushi, don't talk too much." Li Siye glared at Duan Xiushi.

"Yes." Duan Xiushi also knew that he had passed a little. How could he sweep the rise of the general when the army set out to fight? If Gao Xianzhi was a narrow-minded person, he would have a mission of death on the battlefield and would have a miserable end.

"I don't know who the court will send, but what I sent..."

Just as Gao Xianzhi was about to order the troops, suddenly, a voice from outside heard: "Report"

Gao Xianzhi frowned, turned around and saw a scout rushing towards him.

"What's the matter?" Gao Xianzhi asked after the scout knelt down.

"The court appointed Ye Chang as the chief general of the Anxi rear army and the arch-captain of Anxi, leading 30,000 reinforcements from the three towns of Shuofang, Hexi and Longyou, and sent 100,000 civilians along the way to support Anxi."

"Ye Chang?" Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but twitch when she heard this name: "How could he send him here?

No one should have sent him. Ye Chang was not optimistic about this expedition. Will he do his best?

"I understand, Qianli, you are ready to welcome you, we will go to the battle first."

Without thinking too much, Gao Xianzhi snorted and ordered.

Here, the army slaughtered animals and sacrificed flags, and the army rose up and went out of the camp. There were more than 40,000 troops and horses from Anxi and Beiting. There were 30,000 soldiers and horses who followed Gao Xianzhi to fight. When they met with the servants, there were 80,000 people. The Tianwei Army had been brought by Gao Xianzhi before this, but they were the guest army and were only responsible for protecting the food road of Gao Xianzhi's rear wing. Now the court sent 30,000 reinforcements, which was enough for Gao Xianzhi to have no worries.

"If Ye Chang comes, I'm afraid there will be disputes." Duan Xiushi said behind Li Siye.

This time he lowered his voice, not let Gao Xianzhi hear it. Li Siye nodded and sighed in his heart. The court was also confused. It would be fine to send people to come. How could he send generals? Even if he sent generals, he shouldn't send Ye Chang, who had always opposed the large military operations in Anxi.

Seeing the army lined up, he followed the headquarters and was about to leave. At this moment, someone shouted in the back: "Report"

The man shouted and the horse was neighing. If he hadn't paid attention, the sound could hardly be heard. Li Siye looked at another messenger, covered in sweat, and the horse was almost exhausted and rushed towards him.

The military envoy knelt in front of Gao Xianzhi on one knee: "Ambassador, Ye Zhongcheng comes to see the ambassador."

"Ye Zhongcheng? Which Ye Zhongcheng?" Gao Xianzhi was stunned.

"Censor Central Censor and Deputy Chief Protector Ye Chang."

Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye were shocked, and Duan Xiushi shrank his neck and felt sweat dripping down.

The order that the court appointed Ye Chang to appoint Ye Chang himself had arrived. Doesn’t this prove that after Ye Chang was appointed by the court, he immediately left the capital and rushed here without stopping?

If so, Ye Chang might be the one who came here is not good...

Gao Xianzhi looked gloomy and cursed in a low voice, then said, "Don't pay attention to him, we will go and respond for thousands of miles..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw more than ten cavalry galloping towards the east. When he looked carefully, he found that there were only five people, but fifteen horses.

This is a staircase with one man and three horses, galloping thousands of miles away.

Gao Xianzhi's expression was even more cold, and an inexplicable anger arose in his heart.

The fundamental reason why he was so keen on this expedition was the huge benefits that this expedition could bring. Not only in the court, he could get promoted and rewards, but more importantly, the gains from robbery could make him rich.

Although he did not understand the writing, he still heard from people explaining Ye Chang's border strategy for governing the border. He agreed with the statement that operating the border requires profitability to last for a long time. However, he had a different view on how profitable it was. Ye Chang thought he needed to operate it slowly, but he thought that all management was not as fast as robbery and plunder.

Ye Chang came so eagerly, but he was here to cut off his way to get promoted and make money. There is a saying among the Han people that cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

"Ambassador?" Li Siye whispered to him.

Gao Xianzhi sorted out his mood and signaled the troops to continue to set off. He turned his horse's head and looked at the direction where Ye Chang and his party came.

Not long after, he finally saw clearly the person who came.

Needless to ask, the young man in the center must be Ye Chang. The other four people were by his side, and they were obviously a strong and brave man. Gao Xianzhi had seen many such people by his side.

"Ambassador Gao, I heard about the reputation of the ambassador. I will comfort you all my life when I see you today." Ye Chang turned off the horse's back, and he couldn't stand steadily. He had to lean on the horse's body to barely stand.

"I am a rough man, I don't know how elegant he is. Don't say that kind of nonsense, I don't understand." Gao Xianzhi raised his chin and said proudly: "Who are you? Why did you rush to the army?"

"Some Ye Chang." Ye Chang gasped for a while, felt better, and then raised his head and said.

Gao Xianzhi's hostility is very obvious. Even if he is slow to react after a long journey, he can clearly sense it.

"Ye Chang... So what? If you are not in Yunnan, what should you do here?"

The messenger just now had not retreated and was just aside. He was like this, clearly showing that he was disrespectful to Ye Chang. Ye Chang didn't know this now, and he would know it soon.

Gao Xianzhi is arrogant, which shows from this.

Ye Chang's expression frightened and his waist naturally straightened.

He came from all the way, almost without stopping, not because he came to eat Gao Xianzhi.

With his expression fixed, he took two steps back and said, "Since that is the case, Ambassador Gao please do whatever he wants. I wish the Ambassador Ma to succeed - beware of the barbarians' rebellion."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and did not say goodbye to Gao Xianzhi.

A general beside Gao Xianzhi was furious and pressed the sword to get up, but was stopped by another person. Gao Xianzhi did not respond and rode forward. He pressed the sword to get up and turned his eyes, and went forward to Gao Xianzhi and said, "Brother, Cheng Qianli, a man with a face and a woman, cannot rely on him and cannot compete with Ye Chang. If Ye Chang takes the power of the emperor's order and intends to miss my food and equipment, what can we do if we go on an expedition?"

This sentence fell into Gao Xianzhi's ears, and Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but frown.

The person who spoke was named Zheng Dequan, who was the son of Gao Xianzhi's wet nurse. He was arrogant and relied on Gao Xianzhi's power and was used to being arrogant. Although he spoke for Gao Xianzhi, he actually disliked Ye Chang. He was unhappy about this guy being so handsome as a high-ranking official at such a young age.

"What General Zheng Lang said is reasonable, and the army is hanging outside. How can the retreat be uneasy?" The person who stopped Zheng Dequan also whispered: "Besides, today the ambassador is despising him, how can he not be angry?"

The person who spoke was Feng Changqing. In Ye Chang's other history, Gao Xianzhi used the seal of Changqing to manage military discipline and killed Zheng Dequan, but perhaps Ye Chang indirectly changed the fate of many people. At this time, Feng Changqing not only did not have the stick to kill Zheng Dequan, but the two also had a good friendship.

"In your opinion?" Gao Xianzhi asked.

"I see Ye Chang coming here, with only three or five people. All the soldiers in the army were all the old men in the hands of the ambassador, and they would not be convinced. Cheng Qianli and the ambassador were dissatisfied, but Bi Sichen now respected the ambassador very much. He was the general, and Ye Chang would not dare to be careless. The ambassador could ask Bi Sichen to stay in Kucha, so that he could imagine resisting Ye Chang. With Bi Sichen here, Cheng Qianli would not dare to contact Ye Chang too much..."

Feng Changqing said in a low voice, Gao Xianzhi nodded, but Zheng Dequan's eyes turned, feeling that if he didn't say anything, he would really seem inferior to Feng Changqing, so he also spoke: "Brother, Bi Sichen once took over his brother's farm. Although he has revealed it now, who knows whether he still remembers this in his heart. I am willing to stay and keep an eye on Bi Sichen for his brother."

"No." Feng Changqing was shocked when he heard this and said, "Ye Chang is also used to managing troops. General Zheng Lang stayed, and there may be troubles."

"It's okay, he was in front of me just now, so he could only swallow his anger and retreat. What else could he do except use some tricks in secret?" Gao Xianzhi was a little arrogant: "It's just that he picked up some bargains in the border area. There were no heroes in Liaodong and Yunnan, which made Shu Zi famous. Dequan, go and tell Bi Sichen that he would stay. Chang Qing and Bi Sichen's troops will be supervised by you."

Feng Changqing originally wanted to object, but when he heard that he was asked to supervise Bi Sichen's troops, he felt a move. He traveled thousands of miles to join Gao Xianzhi, and repeatedly recommended himself. He climbed to his current position with the contempt of everyone. Isn't it just to have the opportunity to stand alone?

Thinking of this, he did not object anymore, but instead pulled Zheng Dequan: "General Zheng Lang, you must be careful. It is best to isolate Ye Chang from the soldiers in the army so that they cannot know what is happening in the army. If this can be done, Ye Chang will be able to do anything to you no matter how he makes a lot of tricks."

"Don't worry, I know." Zheng Dequan laughed twice.

Ye Chang was so angry that he still reminded him to pay attention to the rebellion of the Hu people, but he knew in his heart that Gao Xianzhi must not listen. He had no other plan, so he could only do it for the time being and make plans. He rushed around thousands of miles and was exhausted. Without waiting for the army to leave, he went straight to find a barracks and settled in.

The sleep was extremely sweet, and he was really snoring. It was not until noon the next day that he was hungry in his stomach that he woke up. When he came out to see, Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er had both woken up, looking angry. When they saw him, they looked at each other.

"You talk first." Wang Yang'er said.

"you say"

"You are the eldest son of Zhongcheng, you said it."

"You are a personal guard, you're right"

Since the two of them had more strength when they first met, their relationship has been like this, fighting each other, either competing for strength or being angry. Ye Chang was too lazy to get involved with them. Seeing this, he stood up and stretched: "I slept well... I was hungry, didn't I eat?"

"I was about to tell you that this thief Hu didn't prepare food for us. He said that there were certain amounts of food in the army. We are not all people in the army. We have already given face to borrow us to rest in the military camp, otherwise...

"Don't say it." Ye Chang raised his eyebrows and knew that there must be nothing good to say, but he sneered in his heart. Gao Xianzhi was a greedy and arrogant man. As expected, as he expected, when he arrived, he felt unhappy and showed his face. Then the confidants below dared to be arrogant.

But thinking that I am easy to bully is a big mistake.

"Yang Er, I have something to hand over to you."

"What's the matter?"

"You have been with the prince for a long time and have a sergeant. Go and ask if the situation of the army's food and salary will be paid on time." Ye Chang narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there any bullying and oppression in the army? Are there any injustice..."

"Don't say so much, I can't remember." Wang Yang'er covered her stomach: "I want to eat, but I can't do anything without filling my stomach."

Ye Chang laughed: "Okay, let's go find a meal."

They left the military camp and went straight to Kucha City to find a restaurant and inn. Kucha is a key place on the Silk Road, so naturally some inns and restaurants. After a while, they found a family of goat milk and roasted lamb legs. These Western Regions products were brought up, and everyone feasted in large quantities, but they were happy to eat.

"Shiyilang, when you were in Chang'an, you came in a hurry. Why are you getting idle now?" Shanzhi asked while eating.

"I came in a hurry at that time because I hoped that there was room for recovery, but although I had been fighting for my life, others did not appreciate it. It was useless to say more, and it would be angering. It would be better to calm down and do the aftermath for good." Ye Chang narrowed his eyes, and his anger flashed in his eyes: "Save as many people as you can, and save as much as you can, and save as much as you can... The plan depends on people, and the success of things is in heaven."

He has always been active and progressive, and it is really rare to blame the success or failure of things for heaven. Shanzhi felt a little surprised, stared at him for a long time, and asked again: "Are you worried about a big defeat?"
