Li Cunzhong hesitated to decide when he held the request in his hand.

Because the person who sent the invitation was Han Qi.

The former elder invited him to a banquet. It is logical that he had to go there, not to mention that he had not seen him for many years. He was always grateful for this old superior who had been using him to the weak.

But the problem is that because of this relationship, he dared not go.

Now Han Qi is the governor of a province, but he is the general in charge of a guard. Thinking about the past, Li Cunzhong became even more nervous. Holding this hot post, he couldn't help but complain to Han Qi, when is it? He still came to invite himself with such a big fanfare? Isn't this embarrassing himself?

After thinking for a long time, he went to his next door, where Gansu Governor Dai Lin lived.

"What does it mean?" Dai Lin, who was looking at a briefing, stared at the invitation on the table for a while, then looked up at Li Cunzhong.

"Duke Dai, can you accompany me to the banquet?" Li Cunzhong said embarrassedly.

Dai Lin looked at him for a while and burst into laughter: "I didn't invite me on this post. If I go, that would be a shame. General Li, what are you thinking?"

Li Cunzhong sat down helplessly: "Du Dai, I am a warrior, and there are not so many twists and turns in my belly, so I said straightforwardly that I finally got a clear relationship with Mr. Han. Now that Mr. Han has this trick, it is not good for me to go, and it is not good if I don't go."

"You old superior from the past, please go there openly!" Dai Lin said with a laugh.

"But we went over..."

"The past is gone, I want to do it too much!" Dai Lin said calmly: "You act like this, but you seem to have a ghost in your heart and never let go of the past. Do you think Li Xiang is such a petty person? If so, can you take charge of the guard? Xue Ping can govern the Western Regions Protectorate, Han Qi can supervise Heilongjiang? Since Li Xiang dares to use you, it means that you are not worried about you at all. If your twisted attitude will really make some people think too much."

"You mean, I'll go?" Li Cunzhong said.

"Of course I have to go. Go openly." Dai Lin picked up the invitation, looked at the place, and smiled and said, "Get fresh! Haha, this restaurant is from Li Xiangkai. Han Qi is smart!"

After leaving Dai Lin's room, Li Cunzhong became more cautious. On the grounds that he was not familiar with Chang'an Road, he found a concierge officer, who was specially treated to their group, and asked him to take him to the fresh restaurant. He believed that the officer would definitely report his whereabouts, which was also a disguised report.

Li Cunzhong was not without reason for being careful. He was a warrior, and he was also a Hu man. Where did Han Qi and Xue Ping have a deep foundation? It was a blessing to have today's status. But he also knew very well that although he had great power, he was very powerful and powerful, he was given to him by this position. Putting aside this position, he was nothing. If he really wanted to talk about it, his current authority was far inferior to when he was a general in Hedong. At that time, at least thousands of personal soldiers were only obedient.

But now, all the troops are loyal to the court and Li Xiang. If he wants to replace him as a general, he has to leave the army obediently with a document.

Over the years, he has been trying to make a contribution to the sky and add a heavy weight to his position. That is to completely take down Tubo. With this contribution, his life, even his children and grandchildren, is enough to survive. After working hard for many years and planning for many years, he saw that the court was about to take action. If Li Xiang was unhappy to replace him because of his indecent behavior, it would be called Tiantian and the earth would not work.

At the door where the fresh wine was received, Li Cunzhong unexpectedly met Li Mi.

Li Mi was just promoted to the General of the Right Qianniu Guard, and her background was beyond Li Cunzhong's ability to compare with. Not to mention that her father-in-law was Cao Xin, the Minister of Personnel, and the man was the third person in Yixing Society. She herself was the eldest sister of the secret camp. This was Li Ze's real direct army.

"General Li, congratulations. I still saw the news on the mansion report. I have never had the opportunity to congratulate General Li in person!" Li Cunzhong humbly said hello first.

"You are polite, General!" Li Mi smiled and returned the favor: "Are you here to attend the banquet today?"

"Yes, Mr. Han treats a guest!" Li Cunzhong pretended to be careless and casually: "The old superior summoned him, and he dared not not come."

"The General does not forget his old age. He is a person who values ​​love and friendship!" Li Mi smiled: "Then I won't disturb the General. We ordinary old brothers have been gathering all over the years and rarely gathering together. After finally gathering part of them this time, I will say goodbye."

"Please give me a favor!" Li Cunzhong reached out to give in. Li Mi was not polite, and took two steps at a time, and then stepped up the stairs. Looking at Li Mi's back, Li Cunzhong exhaled a long breath, stood thoughtfully for a while before he stepped upstairs.

When he pushed open the door of a private room on the second floor, he saw Han Qi at a glance. Next to Han Qi, another old acquaintance, Xue Ping, was sitting.

"I have met Mr. Han and Duke Xue!" Although the three of them are now equal in their status, Li Cunzhong still honestly greets the two of them.

"Cunzhong, we don't have to be so polite. Come and sit down quickly, the wine has been poured." Han Qi said with a smile.

"I really offended." Li Cunzhong accused him repeatedly, "I just met Li Mi, the Right Qianniu Guard downstairs and chatted with her for a few words."

"See it." Han Qi smiled and said, "Li Mi, Li De, Li Hao, Li Han, Li Rui, Yan Jiu, and Zhu Yi and others are on our floor. There is a room reserved for Li Xiang by the freshman specializing in the room. No one can get up except them."

Li Cunzhong smiled, sat down, and said, "They are all Li Xiang's soldiers! I heard that these people entered Li Xiang's family temple and kowtowed to Li Xiang's ancestors. They were considered to be the side branches of Li's family."

"Now it's even more royal!" Xue Ping said with a smile.

Li Cunzhong was slightly shocked, but then he realized again, isn't Li Xiang a descendant of King Qin? By this calculation, the group of people upstairs are really royal families.

It is extremely rare for a group of people from the royal family to hold military power.

"Duke Xue is still worried that you won't come!" Han Qi raised his glass, "I said Cunzhong is a kind person and will never not come."

"How dare I not come?" Li Cunzhong felt a little ashamed. "Han Gong's great kindness is unforgettable. If it weren't for Han Gong, I would probably have shed sheep and horses on the grassland now!"

Han Qi laughed: "A person with ability will stand out sooner or later, and there will always be a sharp edge in his pocket."

"I dare not say that!" Li Cunzhong said: "There are horses that are often there, but Bole is not often there. Li Xiang once said that there is so much gold that it can wipe off the soil and rubbish on it. That is gold. Otherwise, he would be a piece of soil and rubbish. The people of the Tang Dynasty have no idea about the mortal world."

Han Qi was stunned at first, but then laughed: "Du Xue, look, Cunzhong has read a lot of books over the years! Allusions are just like opening your mouth!"

"In the past, under the command of Han Gong, I didn't have to keep my brain in mind, I just needed to do things. Now, Cunzhong is in charge of the troops of the guards, and he is carrying the burden of the northwest, and he never dares to neglect for a moment. At first, he had a headache as soon as he reads, but he endured it, but in the end he felt that there was really a lot of fun in the book." Li Cunzhong said: "Both are both knowledgeable people, so don't laugh at me."

Xue Ping and Han Qi looked at each other and laughed.

"Come on, let's have a drink for us to meet again after a long separation. Cunzhong, how many years have we not met?" Han Qi picked up the wine glass and asked.

"It's been almost eight years!" Li Cunzhong said.

The three of them raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.

"Eight years, how many eight years can you have in your life!" Han Qi sighed softly: "How are you prepared in the northwest?"

"From the day I stationed in Ganzhou, I started preparing." Li Cunzhong said: "This is the only opportunity for me to make great achievements. In the past eight years, I have never dared to slack off for a day. Now, just wait for the imperial court to give the order, the 40,000 troops of the Left Wu Guard can come out in full swing."

Han Qi nodded: "Tubo is located on the plateau. Wherever ordinary troops go, they are uncomfortable and their combat effectiveness will decline sharply. Therefore, in the battle of Tubo, you may only be the main force. But with a population of 40,000, facing hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops, are you really ready?"

"I dare not say that the other party is a native chicken and a treasure, but after the last major defeat, the strength of the other party has dropped significantly. In addition, the court's strategy has been properly over the years, and the other party is no longer the Tubo that once dominated the Tang Dynasty." Li Cunzhong smiled. "Just looking at one Abdula, Delhi Chinan was helpless. It can be seen that Tubo is now a strong man on the outside and the middle."

"You have been stationed in Ganzhou for eight years, trained for eight years, and the imperial court also operated in Tubo for eight years. Now it is time to harvest. When the Yixing Society Congress ends and everything is settled, you will definitely harvest the fruits. At that time, it will be more than one of you. Zhang Jia's Right Martial Guard and some of the troops from the Western Regions Protectorate will enter Tubo. Whether you can get the first place is still a matter of fact."

Li Cunzhong smiled and said, "I am still very confident about this."

"How is Xue Jun now?" Han Qi asked suddenly.

Li Cunzhong said: "He was detained in Lhasa by Delhi Chinan. On the day when our two countries officially started war, I am afraid that he was sacrificed by Delhi Chinan for the flag."
