"Here!" After the visitor entered the door, he immediately crossed his hands and sang to Li Siye, "Cen Shen, the judge of the Anxi Protectorate of Longyou Road, pays homage to Mr. Li. May Tianbao be in good health for twelve years."
"Here." Li Siye crossed his hands and returned the greeting, "Tianbao will be in good health for twelve years."
After seeing the ceremony, Cen Shen covered his nose with one hand and pointed at the excrement on the ground and asked, "Li Shijun, what are you doing?"
Li Siye glanced around and said in a deep voice: "I want Judge Cen to know that there was a demon causing trouble just now, so I called the sergeant to sprinkle excrement water to drive away the evil spirit. However, this evil spirit is very difficult to deal with, and ordinary filth has no effect on it. A certain sergeant who was about to order went to the horse market to buy black dog blood and rooster blood."
"Evil spirit?" Cen Shen frowned upon hearing this.
As a Confucian scholar, Cen Shen never believed in ghosts and gods.
Anyway, in all his life, Cen Shen has never seen ghosts and gods.
At that moment, Cen Shen took out a secret letter from his clothes and held it in both hands and handed it to Li Siye.
"Li Shijun, I have a secret letter from the official, please read it."
"A secret letter from the Fengjie Commander?" Li Siye's expression became stern upon hearing this, and he immediately took it with both hands.
After reading the secret letter, Li Siye immediately changed his smile and asked Cen Shen eagerly: "Judge Cen, has the army of Marshal Fengjie set off from Kucha?"
"We set off years ago. We must have arrived in Shule by now." Cen Shen smiled and nodded.
"Great, we can finally have a big fight with the Tubo people!" Li Siye beat the knot hard and said, "Before, I always watched the Long You Army fight lively with the Tubo people in the hometown of Tuyuhun. This time it is finally our Anxi Army's turn. ”
Cen Shen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to gather the Khotan army as soon as possible and then mobilize the food, grass and baggage."
Li Siye said: "Our Khotanian army has been waiting for battle, and the food, grass and baggage have been prepared long ago. We only need to gather the Hu cavalry from Khotan to set off."
Cen Shen immediately praised: "Li Shijun really has the appearance of a famous general in ancient times."
While the two were talking, a small official came in and reported: "Here, there is someone who claims to be Zheng Lu Wen of the ninth regiment of the Quy Nhon Army. He said that there is an urgent military situation reported to the general."
Cen Shen's face darkened slightly when he heard this.
"The army in Quy Nhon is correct? Why did you come to Khotan to ask for help?"
Li Siye also frowned and asked, "Do you have any official documents?"
"Yes." The clerk immediately handed over a secret letter of fire lacquer with both hands.
After reading the secret note, Li Siye immediately changed his expression and handed it to Cen Shen according to official customs.
After reading this, Cen Shen shook his head and said: "Li Shijun, Sailubao is not a flooded area for the Khotan army and cannot be saved."
"What are these words?" Li Siye said with consternation, "Although Sailubao is not a flood area for the Khotan army, the Quiren army and the Khotan army both belong to the Anxi army. How can we sit back and watch if Paoze is in trouble now?"
Cen Shen said: "Don't you think it's strange, Commander Li? After Seluburg was attacked by the Tibetan army, he immediately lit the beacon fire on the pier. Why didn't Tian Zhen, the envoy of the Quy Nhon Army, go to save it?"
Li Siye frowned and said: "This matter is indeed strange. As far as I know, Tian Dajia, the commander of the ninth regiment of the Quy Nhon Army, is Tian Zhen's nephew, and Tian Zhen has always placed high hopes on him. He should not wait to die without saving him. "
"I'm afraid there's only one reason." Cen Shen said, "Someone didn't let him go."
"Is there someone?" Li Siye said angrily, "Who? Who doesn't let Tian Zhen go rescue Sai Lubao?"
Cen Shen said: "Before the army sets off, Doctor Feng ordered the border guards to go to Niduo City to prepare food, grass and baggage."
"Bian Lingcheng? No wonder." Li Siye said angrily, "Such eunuchs have always been greedy for money and fearful of death, so it is reasonable for them not to go into danger with the army."
Cen Shen muttered, "I'm afraid there is another reason this time."
Li Siye said: "What do you mean by Judge Cen's words?"
Cen Shen said: "Salu Fort is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is extremely steep. Although there are only 200 soldiers from the ninth regiment of the Quy Nhon Army in the fort, the Tibetan army had to fight hard for several months and die in order to capture Sailu Fort. Thousands of people are not enough. By that time, the Tibetan army will already be exhausted. If the Quy Nhon army takes advantage of the situation to attack it, it can be defeated in one battle."
Li Siye also agreed with this: "There is some truth in this statement."
Cen Shen said: "In this way, the border guards can gain a reputation in front of the saint as an expert in military matters. When he is recalled to Chang'an one day, he can accompany the saint to advise on military matters."
"Just him?" Li Siye said disdainfully, "Is he worthy of being called a military commander?"
"It doesn't matter whether he is worthy or not, as long as the saint thinks he is worthy." Cen Shen sighed softly and said, "So Li Shijun must not save Sailubao, otherwise he will be hated by him."
Li Siye was silent and felt very helpless.
If you really offend him, you will definitely go to the saint and say something greedy.
The saint was already old and no longer saw thousands of miles as clearly as he did in his prime. He might have believed Bian Lingcheng's words. At that time, he, Li Siye, let alone stay in Anxi to expand territory and make contributions to the Tang Dynasty, might not have saved his life. .
Cen Shen continued to advise: "In any case, it was the Ninth Regiment of the Quy Nhon Army that was attacked, not the Ninth Regiment of Khotan Town. So you are blameless for not sending troops to rescue."
…
Lu Xiaoning couldn't listen anymore.
I didn't expect you to be such a scumbag.
I didn’t expect you to be like this Li Siye.
Are you two going to fight Seluburg until death?
There was more than just the Ninth Regiment of the Quy Nhon Army in Selu Castle.
In addition to the ninth regiment, there are hundreds of Anxi military relatives.
These are ordinary people, real people of the Tang Dynasty.
Those are living lives, not virtual digital lives.
Anyway, Lu Xiaoning couldn't watch the people of Anxi being thrown away like rags.
If the Anxi Army can't even protect the common people, what kind of soldiers will they be? What fight?
Co-authoring it just for the emperor? Just to make the emperor's civil and martial arts unparalleled in ancient and modern times?
Co-authored In your eyes, gaining the emperor's favor and being promoted to a noble rank is far more important than the lives of the Anxi soldiers and hundreds of military relatives in Sailu City, right?
Lu Xiaoning firmly stood on the side of the people of Anxi.
Because he himself is an ordinary citizen.
Although he is an ordinary citizen, he always considers issues from the standpoint of the ruling class. That is stupid. Only a fool is willing to be the price at any cost.
Therefore, Li Siye must be allowed to send troops.
But this time, Lu Xiaoning was more thoughtful.
He didn't speak as easily as before, he was careless before.
So I dug out a voice changer that I rarely used before, making my voice rich and deep, full of majesty. Then I put on my headphones and said into the microphone: "Pao Ze is in trouble and refuses to save him. Do you want to be punished by God?" ?”
…
The sudden majestic voice startled Cen Shen: "Who?"
Li Siye was furious: "You are so bold and evil, you dare to come here, you are simply bringing your own destruction!"
"Ah? Is this an evil spirit?!" Cen Shen was dumbfounded. It turns out that the theory of ghosts and gods is not false. There are really ghosts and gods in the world? In an instant, Cen Shen's whole body felt bad.
"Li Siye, you are so brave!" The majestic voice shouted again, "You have insulted this Heavenly Master several times. Do you really think that this Heavenly Master can't do anything to you?"
"Hmph, what can you do to me?" Li Siye said without any fear, relying on his abundant blood, "Whoever comes, quickly take the blood of a black dog and a rooster and sprinkle it in the hall. Today, the Japanese general must make this evil spirit show its true form."
More than a dozen Anxi troops rushed in again, splashing the black dog blood and rooster blood they had just obtained.
However, these were of no use, and the majestic voice in the air was not affected at all.
"If you are stubborn, I will let you ordinary people see the immortal methods of this Celestial Master today!"
"Li Siye, since you have served the country well and haven't done any evil deeds, this Heavenly Master will not use thunder to destroy you, but will only use other means to lightly punish you. As urgent as a law, the Beidou God's Curse will rise!"
Immediately, drum beats sounded in the air, followed by fairy music, and then curses sounded.
"Beidou Jiuchen, the Great God of Zhongtian, the Golden Tower of the Upper Dynasty, the Kunlun Mountains of the Lower Dynasty, the Regulation of Regulations..."
The Anxi Army who was splashing black dog blood and rooster blood stopped unconsciously. Master Lu Tianshi's Beidou God Curse sounded a bit nice, didn't it? Is it the Nine Heavens Xuannv who is reciting the incantation?
Cen Shen was also relaxed and fascinated, this Beidou God's Curse was indeed a bit superior.
Only Li Siye couldn't help but sneer: "That's it? Can a witch chant a spell to kill me, Li Siye?"
However, as soon as he finished this thought, the sound of a mantra descended from the air and swished into his ears. The sound of the mantra sounded almost directly in his ear holes.
