I'm a marquis in Datang

The expression on Gao Manzheng's face was full of shock.

You know, Yuan Junzhang sent troops to attack Yanmen, and there were five thousand iron cavalry led by Zhishenli beside him.When the two armies converged, there were a total of 5000 people. Such an army was enough to come and go freely in the area of ​​Yanmen.

But now, the entire army was wiped out.

Zhang Fo thought for a while, and then said: "General, Daxingtai has been captured on the front line. After the news is sent back, people in the army are already in panic. The general is in Mayi, and now we need to stabilize the situation and avoid chaos."

Gao Manzheng nodded.

He agreed with Zhang Fo's analysis. The most urgent task now is to stabilize the current situation and ensure the stability of the situation in Mayi.

Certainly.Gao Manzheng immediately called for soldiers, and gave orders to stabilize the morale of the army.Following the arrangement of these orders, the entire army quickly regained stability.After all, Gao Manzheng is in the army and can control the army.

"Report!"

At this moment, another soldier entered.

The soldiers saluted with fists in their hands, and reported: "General, there is news from a sentry at the border that the mission of the Tang Dynasty has left Yanmen Pass. Now, it has come in the direction of Mayi."

"understood!"

Gao Manzheng answered with a nod.

He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to step back, looked at Zhang Fo and said, "Zhang Fo, tell me, now that the Tang Dynasty mission has entered, what should we do?"

Zhang Fo sternly said: "Surely we will take down the Tang Mission."

Gao Manzheng said: "Should I kill them, or use these people, and then return to Daxingtai?"

Zhang Fo is a person who has always been with Gao Manzheng. He knew Gao Manzheng's thoughts and said, "General, since your Majesty was killed, you have been depressed. Especially you, General, you are not willing to attach yourself to the Turks. Daxingtai is under control, isn't it?" General's chance."

The so-called His Majesty is Liu Wuzhou.

In the past, Liu Wuzhou was attached to the Turks, and once claimed to be the emperor, intending to separate one side.It was only later that Liu Wuzhou was controlled by the Turks everywhere and became a puppet of the Turks. He was unwilling to be controlled all the time and took people away, but eventually died in the hands of the Turks.

Gao Manzheng was Liu Wuzhou's subordinate. Like Liu Wuzhou, he was unwilling to be attached to the Turks forever.

Gao Manzheng heard Zhang Fo's words, thought for a while, and said: "Zhang Fo, the mission of the Tang Dynasty is going to Turkic, and they must pass through Mayi. Let's take this opportunity to take down this group of people and see how the Tang Dynasty The envoy's goods, and then think about what to do."

Zhang Fo said: "The general is wise!"

Gao Manzheng said: "Zhang Fo, you arrange this matter, and arrange it immediately. Remember, to intercept the envoys of the Tang Dynasty,

Don't be too reckless, understand? "

Zhang Fodao: "The humble job understands!"

After a pause, Zhang Fo said again: "The humble official sent people to intercept, it was to invite, not to intercept."

After hearing this, Gao Manzheng had a look of approval on his face, and said, "That's right, it should be done this way."

Zhang Fo turned around and walked out.

But when Zhang Fo just walked to the entrance of the camp, he heard Gao Manzheng suddenly say: "Wait a minute."

Zhang Fodao: "What else can the general order?"

Gao Manzheng said: "Forget it, I'm going to go through it myself. This time, I can rest assured that I will go there in person. No

Otherwise, this matter is hard to be at ease after all.Let's take the first step and wait halfway. "

Zhang Fo said: "The general is wise!"

Gao Manzheng shook his head and chuckled lightly, and said, "What a wise man, that's all we have under the current situation."

After finishing speaking, Gao Manzheng stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Taking Zhang Fo with him, he mobilized his troops and horses and hurried on his way.The soldiers that Gao Manzheng led this time were not many, but more than a thousand elite cavalry.These more than a thousand elite cavalry are all extremely elite, and they are veterans on the battlefield.

Together with Gao Manzheng, they rode their horses in a hurry.

On the other side, the team led by Du Qi and Changsun Shunde also hurried on their way after leaving Yanmen Pass.both sides

They were rushing at an incomparable speed. In a short period of time, both parties on the road met on the road leading to Mayi.

With a wave of Gao Manzheng's hand, the cavalry under his command had already surrounded Du Qi, Changsun Shunde and his party.Seeing this, eldest grandson Shunde and Du Qi had calm expressions and nothing to fear.

On the one hand, Yuan Junzhang is in Yanmen.

On the other hand, they are now going north to Mayi. In fact, they have already learned about the situation in Mayi and the situation of Gao Manzheng in Mayi before, so they are not worried.

Eldest Sun Shunde stepped forward, fixed his eyes on Gao Manzheng, and said: "My eldest grandson Shunde is General Zuo Xiaowei of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know your Excellency, but is it General Gao Manzheng?"

"It's Gao!"

Gao Manzheng held his head up, and said seriously: "The purpose of the general's visit today is to invite General Changsun and his party to go to Mayi for a talk. I don't know General Changsun, would you like to do me a favor?"

Changsun Shunde said: "Please!"

When Gao Manzheng heard the words, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.Because he thought that if he invited Changsun Shunde and his party, then Changsun Shunde and others would definitely be afraid, or even resist, and they would not cooperate so much anyway.

The scene in front of him was an accident.

Because Changsun Shunde is so natural, without the slightest stagnation, or even the slightest hesitation.such a

This situation really exceeded Gao Manzheng's expectations.

Du Qi stood aside, he kept looking at Gao Manzheng.Seeing the astonishment on Gao Manzheng's face, his heart is now more at ease.Because Gao Manzheng's expression revealed that he didn't come to commit murder, nor did he really want to detain them.

Gao Manzheng said: "General Changsun, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Changsun Shunde said in a deep voice: "Since you are sent as an envoy by the emperor's order, there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, this journey northward, after entering Shuozhou, is not the area of ​​the Tang Dynasty. Especially when you go northward, you have already made preparations. There is nothing to be afraid of. As an envoy of a country, it is useless to be afraid of death."

Gao Manzheng said: "As expected of a family of generals, the bearing of General Changsun is really extraordinary."

After a pause, Gao Manzheng's eyes fell on Du Qi.There was a playful expression on his face, and he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, General Changsun is also in good spirits. When he went to the north, the mission even brought a book boy with him."

"Hahaha…"

Eldest Sun Shunde laughed.

Du Qi followed, his cheeks twitched, what is a book boy?Before that in Yanmen, Li Dayen also treated him as a book boy.Now that he is near Mayi, he is regarded as a book boy by Gao Manzheng.

It's too young!

Gao Manzheng said, "General Changsun, why are you laughing?"

Sun Shunde's face was serious, and he introduced solemnly: "This man is called Du Qi, and he is my deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty. He is not a book boy, but he is assisting me in my mission to Turkic."
