Chapter 446 City Exchange, Father and Son Reunited Shuofang County, Rock Green City It was only said that Guo Ziyi, who was the envoy of the Tang Army at this time, finally couldn't hold his breath and began to take the initiative to ask to meet Gao Qi to discuss the matter of Jiuyuan City.
During this time, since the Tang Army and Lü Bu started the war, Guo Ziyi has always paid attention to the development of the war situation, and after discovering that his army has not been able to defeat Lü Bu for a long time, Guo Ziyi can no longer sit still.
Due to the fact that Jiuyuan City was not in the hands of his own army, it was extremely inconvenient to transport grain and grass on the way, and he had to transport grain from Yongfeng Mountain Road almost every time.
However, because Yongfeng Mountain Road is close to the direction of the Great Wall, it is located on the south bank of Yinshan Mountain, the road is rugged, and it is extremely difficult to transport grain.
Therefore, at this time, Guo Ziyi decisively put down his noble head and began to report to the attendants, asking to see Gao Qi, but he sank into the sea and was never heard from.
After all, Gao Qi is not what you say you want to see, you must see you if you say you see me, you can't see me if you say you can't see me, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world Now, with the stalemate between the Tang army and Lu Bu, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for it, but it is gradually beneficial to the Qi army, and the situation is clear.
Since he has this advantage, of course, Gao Qi will not be able to give up the important town of Jiuyuan City to the Tang Army for no reason, and he must have to blackmail something, and grain and grass will become the main bargaining chip in this negotiation.
After all, the Qi army is a long-distance battle, and the most important thing to consider is the issue of grain and grass, the art of war: the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, which shows the importance of grain and grass in the war Although, after capturing Jiuyuan, the Qi army received the military rations hoarded by Dong Zhuo, and the wealthy households in the city also contributed good military rations, but unfortunately, a lot of them were consumed during this period of time.
Not enough, as the supreme general, he still needs to take precautions, and he must return the squad to the court, and the military rations for returning to the land under his rule are sufficient, otherwise what will happen if there is a shortage of food at that time However, Gao Qi did not immediately meet Guo Ziyi for discussion, if this was the case, wouldn't it seem that he was too hungry and thirsty, but fell into inferiority.
As for now, Gao Qi is discussing with the generals in the military palace about the return and which route he should follow.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Su Dingfang, who divided his troops in Youzhou, has come with the latest news, since the army entered Youzhou, everything has been going well, and now the rebels have been defeated, Jicheng has been captured, and the initiative is in his hands."
"At this time, with Dou Jiande's participation in the Youzhou War, coupled with Luo Yi's counteroffensive, I think the fall of An Lushan should be a foregone conclusion."
"At this time, our army has been several months away from the original north, in order to avoid changes in the territory, this should be the time for our army to return to the DPRK."
After finishing speaking, I saw that there was no opposition in the hall, in fact, this was exactly what the generals thought in their hearts, after all, the reason why their army went north was to expel the invading Hu Kou and support Luo Yi who was in an unfavorable situation.
Now that these things have been done perfectly, it is time to become a class teacher "Report, inform King Qi that General Huang has arrived outside the mansion and asks to enter."
It was only said that when everyone was discussing, the guards outside the palace immediately entered the mansion and knelt on the ground to pray.
Hearing this, Gao Qi was immediately overjoyed, waved his hand, and said, "Oh, Old General Huang is here, please come in." ” With an order, his guards immediately surrendered their promises, exited the palace gate, and went to convey the order, and after a while, its heavy and vigorous steps gradually sounded.
Then, a veteran with dyed white hair and wearing Yanling armor walked into the main hall with his head held high and saluted the head of Gao Qi.
This veteran turned out to be Huang Zhong, a veteran of Daqi, no, Huang Zhong shouldn't be following Wang Xuance at this time, leading the army to defend the Lingnan region and guard against Taiping Dao, why did he appear here.
For a while, all the generals in the hall all thought of this question in their minds, and they didn't know what the purpose of Huang Zhong's trip was Moreover, from the fact that Huang Zhong was slightly tired and dusty, he knew that he must have traveled day and night, and came non-stop.
"King Qi, you sent an envoy to inform Zhong urgently, you must hurry up and come, but what's the matter?"
Immediately, Huang Zhong's breath was slightly panting, and he asked with his hands.
For a while, Gao Qi did not immediately answer Huang Zhong's question, and first said to the generals: "If you have no other questions, then go down and start making preparations, and set off today." ” As Gao Qi spoke, everyone also knew that Gao Qi needed to discuss with Huang Zhong alone, so they all retreated with interest and did not disturb.
After all the generals slowly retreated, Gao Qi turned his head to Li Cunxiao beside him and said: "Cunxiao, you go to the gate of the mansion to guard and prohibit anyone from entering."
It is only said that because Li Cunxiao's martial arts are super strong, Gao Qi did not let him out, but left him by his side, mainly responsible for protecting his own safety, after all, hegemony is important, but his life is also more important.
Hearing the leader, Li Cunxiao did not hesitate at all, and with a hand, he carried Bi Yan Laos, and Yu Wang Lance withdrew from the town and left, only then did he get to the point.
At this time, Gao Qi first asked Huang Zhong to sit down, and then said slowly: "Han Sheng, when you first joined the Gu command, you once said that you have a son, I don't know how old Lingzi is now."
Hearing this, although Huang Zhong didn't know the reason why Gao Qi asked, his face still revealed a trace of regret, and said slowly: "Zhong remembers very clearly, his son disappeared twenty years ago. ” "At that time, he was only a four or five-year-old child, and so far the last general traveled all over the world to look for it, but he didn't find it, which also led to the end of the general wasting his good youth and living up to his martial arts, resulting in nothing in his old age."
"It wasn't until I met you, the King of Qi, that Zhong had a bright day, and Zhong Yao remembered that the King of Qi had led the last general and a group of soldiers to attack Hu Kou's general feat."
At this time, on the way to speak, Huang Zhong still maintained a net weight look at Gao Qi, after all, if there was no appreciation and reuse of Gao Qi, even if Huang Zhong was brave at this time, I am afraid that he would only be in a state of being talented.
Hearing his dictation, Gao Qi pretended to show some conjecture, and said slowly: "Old general, Gu recently met a young man, whose age is almost the same as that of the old general's son, but I don't know if it is."
"Ahh "King Qi, you really found Lingzi for the last general, where is it, and ask King Qi to take the last general to recognize him."
Maybe it's also because he heard that his son was excited about his whereabouts, and after hearing Gao Qi's words for a while, he suddenly stood up, but he lost his manners, and he didn't know it.
However, Gao Qi was not a person who cared about everything, but he didn't investigate deeply, so he ordered a guard outside the mansion to come and bring Huang Zhong to meet.
Maybe it's because he misses his son too much, and he follows behind the guards, urging him to run quickly, so that he can see his son's face as soon as possible.
After Huang Zhong left, Gao Qi stood up, looked at the beams of the upper room of the hall, and muttered: "Huang Feihu, Huang Feihu, whether you can join Gu's command depends on whether you can recognize Huang Zhong this time."
In fact, as early as the moment Huang Feihu summoned him, Gao Qi went to personally recruit him, but because Huang Feihu and Huang Zhong were separated, they were still in a state of ignorance, so they were almost not familiar with their father. just emphasized that it was impossible for him to go to the south, insisted on staying in the northern Xinjiang, and wanted to avenge his "father" backer Yang Lin, kill Hu Kou, and personally kill Jebe.
Therefore, Gao Qi summoned Huang Zhong to come north day and night, the purpose of which was of course to make his father and son recognize each other, and also to add a god general to his command.
It's just that Gao Qi doesn't know if Huang Zhong can successfully recognize him, all this can only be verified by time, as for this time, Gao Qi is dealing with other things.
"Lord Guo, my lord is invited, please go to the mansion for a while" only said that Guo Ziyi, who had been asking to see him for two days without success, had already given up, but he didn't expect that at this time, Gao Qi personally sent guards to the pavilion to summon him.
Suddenly, Guo Ziyi hurriedly didn't dare to slack off, bathed and changed clothes as soon as possible, changed into the court clothes of the Tang Dynasty, and followed the guards to the mansion.
Entering the hall, in order to show the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi symbolically arched his hand to indicate the net weight of Gao Qi, as a salute.
As for kneeling, it is impossible, after all, Guo Ziyi is only as an envoy to meet your country, and not his courtiers, so it is impossible to bow down After saluting, Gao Qi said slowly: "Flat" "Cun Xiao, quickly give the envoy Guo a seat."
After giving an order, Li Cunxiao suddenly left from Gao Qi's side, and went to move away from the kneeling mat, and after a while, I saw Li Cunxiao actually hold the mat of hundreds of catties in the air with one hand and stride over.
For a while, Guo Ziyi saw it from afar, and couldn't help but feel a pimple in his heart, and said secretly: "This person is so powerful, looking at his demeanor, he can still maintain a steady step with a mat of hundreds of catties in his hand, and he does not show fatigue at all, his strength must be brave, and his martial arts are not inferior." ” "I'm afraid this person's bravery is not under His Royal Highness King Zhao."

At this time, seeing that Li Cunxiao's expression was extremely relaxed when he moved away from the mat, as if there was nothing in his hand, he was secretly frightened.
After all, Guo Ziyi is also a person who practices martial arts, and he also has a vision, and he can see that Li Cunxiao's internal force fluctuations are extremely strong, and it is expected that his martial arts are not weak.
With such the strength of internal force, Guo Ziyi only found it in Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao in the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ziyi really did not expect that there was really someone in the Qi army who could match Li Yuanba.
At that time, when Li Yuanji designed an ambush for Gao Qi in Tucheng, Guo Ziyi was not at the scene, so he was scornful of the rumors in the army that there were god-like fierce generals in the Qi army who could match King Zhao.
After all, even Yuwen Chengdu was in the hands of Li Yuanba, and he could only support a few hammers before he was defeated, Guo Ziyi really didn't believe that there was anyone in the world who could be stronger than Yuwen Chengdu.
After Li Tang captured Guanlong, in order to make a name for Li Yuanba, Li Shimin revealed the identity of the man in black who was in Siming Mountain at that time, resulting in almost all the warriors today knowing that the fool Li Yuanba defeated Yuwen Chengdu and smashed the name of the invincible and Tianbao general in the world.
Now, seeing it with his own eyes, Guo Ziyi knows that the rumors in the army are true, and according to his observations, this Li Cunxiao does have the strength to match Li Yuanba.
"It seems that this time we must settle the matter of Jiuyuan City peacefully with Gao Qi, otherwise in the event of a war with it, the form facing our army will be greatly unfavorable."
After being familiar with Li Cunxiao's bravery, Guo Ziyi also secretly made up his mind to prevent this dispute from happening.
At this time, Gao Qi was at the top, and it can be said that he could clearly observe Guo Ziyi's facial changes, and he couldn't help but show a meaningful smile.
In fact, Gao Qi asked Li Cunxiao to personally move out of the mat, which was a hidden reason, and his purpose was to warn Guo Ziyi that he must do it himself And don't underestimate Lonely's Great Qi because you have an invincible Li Yuanba in the Tang Dynasty, and Lone also has a god general who is not inferior to you.
Immediately, Gao Qi showed a smile and asked: "General Guo, this is a god general under the command of Lone, surnamed An, named Jingsi, but the new Yicheng went down the mountain and took refuge in Lonely, I don't know how brave he is."
Hearing this, although Guo Ziyi knew that Gao Qi was showing off, he didn't dare to disobey, he was afraid that Gao Qi would be angry, so he had to echo and say: "Sure enough, there is the courage of heaven and man, and it is rumored that King Qi is a brave and righteous man." ” "When I saw it today, I realized that it was really worthy of its name" Immediately afterwards, under the open and secret struggle, the negotiations officially cut to the topic.
Immediately, Guo Ziyi went straight to the point and said: "King Qi, I came this time with an order, hoping to discuss with King Qi about taking back Jiuyuan City. ” "I don't know when the King of Qi is going to evacuate the city and give the city to my Datang" Hearing this, Gao Qi immediately pretended to be furious, and pretended to shout: "What, the Tang Army actually coveted my Daqi city, this is the sword that deceived my Daqi Erlang."
"Jiuyuan, it was led by Gu to take back the Great Qi Erlang from the traitor Dong Zhuo, since the Tang Army has taken back every ability, why should it fight with Gu" only said, after Gao Qi vented his anger, Li Cunxiao on the side also tried his best to echo: "King Qi is reasonable, I think that Jiuyuan was the last general who was ordered by King Qi to lead eighteen horsemen to take it in the starry night, how can it be so easy to give it to the Tang army" When Li Cunxiao mentioned the Eighteen Horsemen, he deliberately accentuated his tone, for fear that Guo Ziyi would not be able to hear it.
For a while, Guo Ziyi didn't know that this was Gao Qi and Li Cunxiao's ministers colluding, acting, and taking the opportunity to blackmail themselves It's just that Guo Ziyi is not afraid, as early as when she was on the mission, she had reached a consensus with Princess Pingyang that as long as it was not beyond the scope of Datang's tolerance, everything could still be discussed.
Therefore, at this time, Guo Ziyi arched his hand and said slowly: "Of course, my princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty also knows that Jiuyuan was painstakingly recovered from the traitors by the King of Qi and his subordinates, and of course it cannot be given to our army for no reason." ” "Therefore, the princess once said that our army is willing to exchange 50,000 stone of military rations in exchange for Jiuyuan City."
"What" "Fifty thousand stones, are you Tang Jun humiliating my Daqi, my Daqi's son is only worth your fifty thousand stone military rations" As soon as the words fell, before Gao Qi could speak, Li Cunxiao on the side was instantly angry, and the anger in his heart suddenly erupted like a volcano At this time, Gao Qi's face suddenly became gloomy, extremely dissatisfied, and he could vent it at any time.
In fact, 50,000 stone of military rations is already a lot, and for ordinary people, they don't have to worry about food for at least a year, even if it is used as military rations, it is still a military supply for several months.
It's just that in exchange for 50,000 stone of grain in Jiuyuan City, how could Gao Qi easily agree not to squeeze more materials out, how can Gao Qi be worthy of this trip to the northern Xinjiang, and the call of the great chaos of the late Sui Dynasty of many sons who died in battle :
