Li Qing silently read Li Longji's secret decree, "Li Qing, the chief minister of Anxi, was promoted to the governor of Anxi, the champion general, and the secretary of the Ministry of Education of the School of the Inspection and Works." A series of dazzling titles did not confuse his eyes. The five black words of the governor of Anxi were vividly revealed on the paper, and the day finally came.

Li Qing's brows suddenly frowned, and he suddenly found that a position was missing from Li Longji's secret decree. Since Gao Xianzhi entered Beijing, he could not hold this position again, but this position was not granted to him accordingly. He looked up at Li Chu, and it was impossible for him. If it were the prince, he could only take the position from afar and not to serve on the spot. It seems that Li Longji was still prepared for Li Chu.

Seeing that he was curious, Li Qing smiled and handed him the secret order to him. Li Chu hesitated for a moment and took it over. He hurriedly looked at it, and couldn't help but feel shocked. The emperor not only gave him the Jiedushi Anxi, but also named him the Minister of Works. Although it was just a noun, this means that Li Qing had the opportunity to become a minister in the future. It was rare for him to be so valued by the emperor. I am afraid that only An Lushan can compare. Those in the court who mocked Li Qing for being demoted to Anxi were really frogs in the well.

"Congratulations to General!" His eyes were filled with joy. Li Qing's promotion was closely related to him. At this time, he had to admire his father's foresight. The emperor's true intention was indeed replaced by Li Qing.

Li Qing smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go! Let's talk while walking." He was too lazy to think about the affairs of Anxi Grand Priesthood. After all, the Anxi Grand Priesthood has actual military power. Although the Anxi Grand Priesthood has high rank, it is just a false reputation. And how to truly grasp the Anxi Army is what he needs to seriously consider now.

The personal soldiers returned to the team to gather. Princess Luo Lan saw that Li Qing had a major event and the royal family was present. She deliberately avoided it. Seeing that there was no one around, Li Chu approached Li Qing and whispered: "Shi Shi, no! General, about the Shi Kingdom, the emperor still has some orders to me to bring it to you verbally."

Li Qing gently strangled the reins, and he quickly glanced at Princess Luo Lan from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she had disappeared from the personal soldiers, he said to Li Chu: "Please speak with your highness!"

"The emperor intends to restore Suye Jun Town, establish a new Dayuan Jun Town, and change the four Anxi towns into six Anxi towns. All matters will be handled by the Anxi Jiedushi."

‘Set up the Dayuan Military Town?’ Li Qing couldn’t help but chuckled. Li Longji really had a sharp eye and discovered this god-given opportunity at a glance. At present, the Turks in Tuozhe City were almost massacred by Gao Xianzhi, and were full of devastation. Especially the nobles of the Shi Kingdom disappeared overnight and had no power to oppose the entry of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the Shi Kingdom was the foundation that Li had valued early in the morning, the establishment of the Dayuan Military Town was more beneficial than disadvantages for him. The most important thing was that the Central Plains immigrants could move west smoothly. As long as the army was controlled by him, neither the Shi Kingdom nor the Dayuan Military Town could escape his palms.

"I already know this. Let's stabilize the situation first and then implement it."

Che Bishi and his son were slowly traveling towards Tuozhe City by the guards of more than a thousand soldiers of the Shi Kingdom. Along the way, Che Bishi lowered his head and said nothing, looking worried. He stood aside when he announced the imperial edict just now. Gao Xianzhi was likely to go back to Chang'an to offer prisoners. So will Li Qing take this opportunity to deal with him?

Without thinking, since Princess Luo Lan became his woman, how could he stand by and watch? A strong sense of crisis is slowly approaching Che Bishi. What should I do? There are only more than 2,000 soldiers left in his hand. How could he compete with Li Qing's tens of thousands of tiger and wolf army? But if he surrendered to Dashi, he was afraid that Budu would not spare him, so Che Bishi was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do?

At this time, Che Duoduo caught up from behind and said resentful to Che Bi: "Father, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty is so rude!"

He did not see far from his father. He only saw the new messenger and ignored the King of the Stone Kingdom at all, and was even worse than Li Qing. At this moment, his heart was filled with loss and resentment. The feeling of being stepped on his feet made him unbearable.

"What's the point of being a little rude?"

Che Bishi sighed, "Now we should think about how to escape!"

"Escape?" Che Duoduo was stunned, and he looked at his father with confusion.

It doesn't matter if you die, but your son is still young and you must let him survive. Che Bishi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He looked up at his son and said slowly: "I will give you a thousand soldiers. You will station in Talas City. If I encounter misfortune, you will surrender to Dashi immediately."

Let’s talk about Gao Xianzhi returning to Thunder Ye. Along the way, he carefully considered this matter. Li Longji has always been very happy with merit and it is normal for him to offer prisoners. There should be no problem. Moreover, the emperor promised to embrace his two sons, and it happened to take advantage of this time to go back and manage his two sons well, which is also a matter of worry.

Gao Xianzhi thought all the way. When he was about to reach Suiye City, he suddenly thought that An Lushan and Geshuhan were not as good as he was, but he could be named the prince. He really should let the court's wine bags see what a great achievement was. Gao Xianzhi was suddenly anxious. It was September now, and the imperial concubine's birthday was November. In less than two months, she was going to Kucha to bring people. Time was very tight.

He rushed into the Thunder Ye City Gate. Although Li Chu was there, he was young after all, and he was very likely to be bewitched by Li Qing and obeyed him. He had to place the Anxi Army properly before he could go east with confidence.

Gao Xianzhi returned to the commander's mansion and immediately ordered the marching Sima Kang Huaishun to come to see him. Kang Huaishun was the military farm envoy who had conflicts with him when Li Qingchu arrived in Anxi. Because he was Gao Xianzhi's iron-core confidant, he took office as the marching Sima during this Western Expedition and controlled the military advisory power. He was the third person in the Anxi Army after Li Siye.

After a moment, Kang Huai trotted over there. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gao Xianzhi's personal soldiers busy packing their luggage. He couldn't help but say in surprise: "Is the Grand Marshal going to go far?"

Gao Xianzhi pulled Kang Huaishun to the inner room and ordered him to sit down. Then he smiled and said, "On November's birthday, the emperor ordered all towns to offer prisoners to celebrate their birthdays. I don't want to let go of this opportunity, so I plan to go to Chang'an to offer prisoners in person."

Kang Huaishun was overjoyed. If this was the case, would Gao Xianzhi asks him to come and hand over the power of the army to him? Logically, Gao Xianzhi should leave the army and the military power should be led by Deputy General Li Siye, and it is not his turn, but Gao Xianzhi did not seem to call Li Siye. Kang Huaishun immediately understood that this must be because Li Siye and Li Qing have an old age. Gao Xianzhi was guarding against him. Thinking of Li Qing, Kang Huaishun's eyes turned and suddenly laughed: "Why didn't the general bring Li Qing to Chang'an together? Isn't this even more relieved his worries."

Gao Xianzhi shook his head gently. He had thought about this method before, but the question is, is Li Qing willing to listen to him?

"Yesterday, King Guangping came and replaced Li Qing's position, so I decided to return to Chang'an. With him here, Li Qing should be taboo and dare not act rashly."

"King Guangping?" Kang Huaishun thought for a while and suddenly remembered that this was the eldest son of the deposed crown prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor? He hurriedly said, "Master General, as far as I know, Li Qing was born in the Eastern Palace. The emperor sent the King of Guangping, which may have other profound meanings!"

"It's a lot of meaning!"

Gao Xianzhi interrupted him impatiently. The conflict between Li Qing and the former crown prince Li Heng is known to everyone in the world, why didn't he know? But since he wanted to entrust Anxi Army to him, Gao Xianzhi had to help himself explain to him: "You don't know Li Heng, who is a person who is merciful and ruthless, and he has a deep grudge. Li Qing offended him twice, how could he forget easily? The emperor sent King Guangping this time to consider this. Moreover, the Eastern Palace was not decided at this time, and sending any prince or grandson to the emperor would cause unnecessary speculation. Only by letting the deposed crown prince come will people not be misunderstood. Do you understand?"

Kang Huaishun made a sudden realization and sighed repeatedly: "The general is thousands of miles away, but he knows the court well and has a deep vision. His subordinates are really not as good as possible. I am ashamed! I am ashamed!"

Knowing that he was flattering, Gao Xianzhi felt very helpful. He stroked his beard and smiled: "Although you are not a military general, you have been with me for many years and are quite familiar with military affairs. I will leave the Anxi Army to you this time."

Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Li Siye and Li Qing have old age. You should be more careful about him. If he does something abnormal, I will allow you to imprison him."

Kang Huaishun suddenly knelt down, kowtowed heavily to Gao Xianzhi, and choked, "The general's kindness of meeting him is engraved in his heart!"

In the fifth year of Tianbao, Li Siye was transferred to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Revenue, and then acted as the governor of Shazhou. The following year, the war broke out, and Gao Xianzhi took him back to Anxi. Xiaobolu's battle made him famous. The court promoted him to the envoy of the army and horses of the four towns and the general of the Central Army. This time, the defeat of the Imperial Kingdom, Li Siye was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Anxi Jiedu and General Qianniu Longwu.

After Li Qing came to Anxi, Li Siye kept trying to avoid it. He didn't want Gao Xianzhi to feel embarrassed about his old friendship with Li Qing. If he had something to come to Li Qing, he would also send his generals to negotiate.

After arriving in Shiguo, Li Siye had been living in a camp outside the city, training soldiers and handling military affairs every day, and living a busy and fulfilling life every day. On this day, it was getting late. After dinner, Li Siye returned to his tent. As soon as he sat down, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the tent. When the curtain was raised, Xi Yuanqing rushed in. He panted and said, "Can General Li hear the rumors?"

Li Siye was stunned, "What rumors?"

"Everyone in the city said that the commander had returned to the capital yesterday!"

"What!" Li Siye stood up with a 'tween!', and then shook his head and said, "It's impossible. If the Grand Marshal leaves, he must handle the handover with me first. The rumors will inevitably be untrue. Maybe the Grand Marshal will go to Baishui City?"

Xi Yuanqing sighed secretly. He said that the rumors were just subtle words, afraid that Li Siye's face would not be sluggish. Gao Xianzhi did leave. He handed over the military power to Kang Huaishun, not Li Siye. Seeing that the other party did not believe it, Xi Yuanqing advised again: "General Li, please go and ask! Since everyone said this, there must be a reason."

Li Siye's tone when he saw Xi Yuanqing gradually became more certain, and he began to feel a little shaken in his heart, "Is the coach really gone?"

He lowered his head and walked back and forth in the tent a few steps, finally punched the palm of his hand, and said firmly: "I don't believe that the general will treat me so poorly, okay! I'll confirm it myself."

After making up his mind, Li Siye walked out. Seeing that he was stubborn, Xi Yuanqing shook his head with a wry smile and followed quickly.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Siye rushed to the general's mansion. He jumped off his horse and ran up the steps in a few steps. When several Gao Xianzhi's personal soldiers saw it, they immediately stepped forward and stopped him, "The general has an order, only General Li is allowed to go in, and the rest are waiting outside."

Li Siye knew these personal soldiers and had been with Gao Xianzhi. He turned around and looked at Xi Yuanqing in surprise, meaning: "What's going on? Didn't you say that Gao Shuai is leaving?"

Xi Yuanqing also shook his head strangely. Someone saw Gao Xianzhi leaving, but why did he come back? His eyes became confused.

Li Siye waved his hand and ordered them to wait outside. He followed Gao Xianzhi's personal soldiers in. After several turns, the personal soldiers took him to a big house, bent down and said respectfully: "This is the Grand Marshal's study. The Grand Marshal is waiting for General Li inside, please!"

Li Siye walked into the "book room" and was stunned for a moment. It was empty inside and there was nothing. Where was the study room?

Suddenly, a sharp laugh came from behind: "I'm so embarrassed to let General Li come here in person."

Li Siye suddenly turned around and saw Kang Huaishun swaying in under the escort of more than fifty Gao Xianzhi's personal soldiers. His face was very proud. Li Siye had already woken up and was deceived.

Kang Huaishun glanced at Li Siye with wide shoulders and huge body, and couldn't help but feel agitation in his heart. He forced a smile and said, "I wanted to visit General Li earlier, but I was ready to go and couldn't get out of here."

At this time, Li Siye's heart slowly sank. He had already seen it. At the door, Kang Huaishun's two most confidant personal soldiers were holding Gao Xianzhi's command arrow, and the other was holding Gao Xianzhi's handsome seal. Both of them looked cold. It was obvious that Gao Xianzhi had handed over the military power to Kang Huaishun.

He straightened his waist proudly and looked at Kang Huaishun coldly and said, "I heard that the Grand Marshal returned to Beijing, is there any such thing?"

Kang Huai Shun gradually found confidence in Li Siye's lonely figure. He also snorted coldly, and his eyelids slightly turned upward and said: "Yes, the general does have important things to return to Beijing. He is not here. I will temporarily take the position of commander of the Anxi Army. No one can disobey my military order."

"Your military order?" Li Siye's heart suddenly twitched. He suddenly understood that Gao Xianzhi didn't believe in him at all. At such an important moment, he would rather hand over the army to a civil servant who would not lead troops, so he was his confidant, but he ignored the overall situation. If the cannibal suddenly attacked at this time, can this person deal with it?

Li Siye looked at Kang Huaishun's villainous face, and felt extremely disgusted. Needless to say, he was waiting for him to kneel down and salute to him.

Li Siye's face darkened and said bluntly: "According to my Tang military rules, if the chief general is not here, the deputy general should be on behalf of the marching order. Now that the Gao Zheng is not here, I should naturally take it temporarily. If you are just a marching Sima, how can you do it oversteadily?"

He took a big step forward, stretched out his hand, pointed at the command arrow and the handsome seal at the door, and said sternly: "Come it!"

Kang Huaishun only felt that Li Siye was pressing towards him like a black tower. He was so scared that he took a step back. Dozens of personal soldiers immediately surrounded him. He had expected that Li Siye would want to attack him and was ready. He waved his hand and shouted: "Catch him!"

I saw dozens of thick nets scattered towards Li Siye in front, back, left and right, and even roofs. Li Siye was caught off guard and was entangled by the net. More than fifty men rushed over and pushed Li Siye to the ground.

Li Siye stood up and stared at Kang Huaishun and cursed: "Kang Huaishun, you shameless traitor! If you have the ability, you kill me. I see how you explain to Gao Shuai."

"Hmph! Humph!" Kang Huaishun hummed several times, suddenly laughed at the sky, pointed at Li Siye and said mercifully: "A stupid thing who can only charge forward. If the general would blame me, he would have transferred the power of the military to you long ago."

Li Siye gritted his teeth with hatred. At this moment, he suddenly remembered Li Qing, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.
