Chapter 9 Deputy Anxi
Ten days later, a team of 500 cavalrymen rushed past the Gobi Desert. They rushed to a high hill and looked into the distance. The leader was a 35 or 36-year-old Tang army general. He looked into the distance, pointed to the snow-capped Lingshan with a horse whip and said to the left and right: "One day, I will lead the army to cross Lingshan, flatten the old nest of Tuqi Shiren, and rebuild my Tang Dynasty's Shuyejun Town."
As soon as he urged the war horses to rush towards the hills, the Tang army followed one after another, and for a moment, they disappeared deep in the Gobi Desert.
An hour later, the cavalry team arrived at Sulou Fengshou Fortress, and the injured Li Fei Yuanli hurriedly led his men out to greet him.
"I don't know that the military commanders of the capital have arrived, and I have missed the opportunity to welcome you. I hope to forgive you!"
The general of the Tang army glanced at the soldiers, "This time you have made contributions to killing the enemy, each of them is rewarded with twenty stagnants, ten acres of land, and once the merits are recorded. The garrison leader Li Fei Yuanli was promoted to the general of Dashicheng Town."
Li Fei Yuanli hesitated for a moment, and he stepped forward and kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, the soldiers and horses, are grateful for their kindness. My subordinates do not want to be promoted, so they only beg me to join the Modao Army."
"Okay! I will fulfill you. From now on, you will be the deputy general of the Modao Army."
"Thank you, the soldiers and horses!"
Li Fei Yuanli was overjoyed. Entering the Modao Army was his dream of many years. Li Siye, who joined the army with him, became famous because of Modao, and he was also an unknown garrison leader.
The Tang army general swept over the Tang army one by one from the fortress, and finally his eyes fell on the tall Li Qing'an. He had a big bow on his back, and was so heroic that he was so conspicuous among the Tang army soldiers that he asked, "Is it you who shot and killed forty thunder cavalrymen in one person?"
Li Qing'an walked out of the garrison, and he stepped forward and bowed and said, "I am humble to Li Qing'an, see the general."
The general looked at him and asked, "I heard your name, where are you from?"
"Report to the general, Bei Zhi is from Luoyang, the eastern capital."
"Dongdu people!" The general of the Tang army nodded and said, "Give me your bow and arrow, what kind of bow it is, it can actually shoot forty thunder cavalrymen to death."
Li Qing'an presented the bow, and the Tang general pulled it for a moment and said with a smile: "Like me, the seven stone bow, but this is a bad bow. Can it really shoot forty people to death?"
"Report to the general, it is not my bow and arrow that shot the thuk to death, but my courage."
The general laughed to the sky, "Well said!"
His laughter stopped abruptly, leaned forward slightly, pointed at himself and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know the humble position."
"You don't know?"
The general raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Tell you, I am the deputy governor of Anxi, the military envoy of the four towns of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi."
"So you are Gao Xianzhi!"
Li Qing'an blurted out, but scared Li Fei Yuanli. How could he say this? "Qilang, don't be rude!" he whispered.
Gao Xianzhi didn't care. He smiled and turned around and waved to his personal soldiers. The personal soldiers raised a large bow. The general handed the bow to Li Qing'an and said, "This is made by the best craftsman in the capital, and it is famous for hundreds of beasts. Try it, can it be pulled open?"
Li Qingan took the bow and his arms were strong. The bow was pulled open. It was also a seven-stone hard bow, but it was stronger and felt very comfortable. It was many times stronger than the bow and arrow he bought for five stakes of money in Bahuancheng.
Seeing that he could pull the bow, Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but nodded. Sure enough, he picked up a helmet with his sword and said to Li Qing'an: "You go a hundred steps away and shoot this helmet."
Jia Chongguan, the captor of Ba Huan, was shocked and quickly advised: "Deputy Commander, don't take risks like this."
Gao Xianzhi ignored him. Seeing that Li Qingan did not move, he couldn't help but look down, and snorted and asked him, "Don't you dare?"
"The great general is not afraid of death, so what are I afraid of?"
Li Qing'an turned his horse's head and ran a hundred and fifty steps away. He pulled out a long arrow and aimed at the helmet on Gao Xianzhi's sword. At this moment, Gao Xianzhi threw the helmet to the left. Li Qing'an's arrow also took off the string, and the arrow went straight to the helmet in the air. Before the helmet landed, he shot through it with one arrow.
Tang Jun suddenly burst into cheers, "Good arrow technique!"
Li Qing'an immediately stepped forward and bowed, "I'm lucky to be humble and not humiliating my fate!"
A personal soldier picked up his helmet and presented it to Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi looked at it and saw the four words "Lingshan Blood Arrow" engraved on the arrow shaft. He couldn't help but laugh, "Since you want to be Lingshan Blood Arrow, I will give you this nickname."
"Thank you for your good wishes."
"A little nickname is nothing."
Gao Xianzhi pointed to the arrow in his hand and smiled, "This arrow belongs to you. From now on, you will be the tooth general beside me."
The Tang army in the fortress exclaimed, and everyone showed extremely envious eyes. Li Qingan actually became the Gao Shuai's personal soldier.
Li Qing'an bowed with fists and said, "Thank you for promotion, I want to bring a few subordinates with you. I wonder if the coach can be approved?"
"Can!"
Half an hour later, the large group of people rose up and drove towards the south.

"Boss, are we really going to Kucha City?" On the way, He Yanming, who was excited, whispered. He was very lucky and was taken by Li Qingan.
"What, don't you want to go? If you don't want to go, you can go back." Li Qingan said with a smile.
"No! No! No! Why don't I want to go? I've stayed in the ghost place of the Fort."
"Where is Old Han?" Li Qingan turned around and asked Han Jinping.
Han Jinping sighed, "Of course I am very happy. If I stay in the fortress, I will die sooner or later at the hands of Tuqi Shiren."
"You said they will retaliate?"
Han Jinping nodded, "The thunder cavalryman is very jealous. Even if he is not targeting the fortress, he will often enter the country and invade. Lingshan will not be at peace."
"Don't worry! Gao Shuai has already made arrangements."
Next to him was a young Hu officer. He was tall, fair-skinned, handsome and strong, as if he had a huge energy that had not yet been released. His blue eyes were slightly shining with strange light.
His smile was very clear and made people feel close. "Supervisor Gao has already arranged the troops in the fortress to increase to one hundred people, strengthen the fortifications, and in addition, Dashi City will also station 500 troops to ensure that the thunder cavalry and squad will never return."
Li Qingan had a good impression of him, so he bowed and smiled and said, "I'm relieved, brother, Da Zun's name?"
"In Xia Bai Yuanguang, he was originally the Prince of Kucha, and now a member of the Tang army."
"Good luck! Please take care of Brother Bai in the future."
"General Li..."
"Brother Bai might as well call me Qilang."
Bai Yuanguang nodded and smiled, "Then I'm not polite, Qilang, I have admired your archery skills. It's true that one arrow can penetrate your head with one hundred and fifty steps. It can be called my first arrow in Anxi, but I wonder how Qilangwen is?"
Li Qingan felt ashamed. He had never even read "The Analects of Confucius", so why did he talk about literature?
"Sorry, I'm just literate, and I don't have any ink."
Bai Yuanguang raised his head and laughed, making Li Qing'an blush and said in angrily: "What do people who join the army need so much literature to do?"
Bai Yuanguang stopped laughing and said apologetically: "Qilang doesn't know anything. Our Anxijun article does not refer to reading and writing, but to polo. I want to ask Qilang how he plays polo?"
Li Qingan let go of his heart slightly, not just let him write poems and essays. He smiled and said, "It's embarrassing to say that, I have never played polo before."
Bai Yuanguang was surprised. He had never played polo before. This was incredible, but his face did not show it. He smiled happily: "Qilang's clever archery skills do not play polo. It is simply a tyrannical object. If Qilang is willing, we can practice polo skills together. How about it?"
"Then I can't ask for anything, as long as Brother Bai doesn't dislike me and I don't understand."
Bai Yuanguang laughed loudly and urged the horse to go in front. He heard him laugh at the other person from afar and said, "Mr. Cheng, he agreed."
At this time, He Yanming next to him whispered to Li Qing'an: "This Bai Yuanguang is the number one polo master in Anxi. Last year, he led Anxi team to Chang'an to participate in the competition and won the third place in the Tang Dynasty. I guess he was jealous of your mastery of archery skills and wanted to humiliate you on polo."
"Xiao He, don't be nonsense!"
Han Jinping scolded: "Anishi men are all upright, so they are as petty as you."
Li Qingan smiled but said nothing and played polo, but he really wanted to give it a try.
