Chapter 308: Fighting the Autumn Wind
The land of Yanzhou has been very quiet recently, but the governor He Fang is not a person who can live in peace and stability, He Fang and the state pastor Chen Hong don't know how to discuss, he took five thousand of the most elite cavalry and said that he was going to Hangai Mountain to hunt, and he didn't come back for half a year.
When He Fang came back in July, he didn't bring back much of the prey, but brought a lot of slaves, and returned to Beiping City, where he had already left, and He Fang didn't even have time to return home, so he went directly to the state pastor's office.
Chen Hong is a very good boss, he has been getting along with He Fang very well this year, and the old man wrote to himself that he was going to entertain VIPs today, and he couldn't help but give face.
When He Fang came to the Governor's Mansion, Chen Hong was drinking with a young man, Chen Hong saw He Fang holding He Fang's hand and said affectionately: "General He, come into the table and introduce to you, this person is Master Confucius of Langzhong of the Imperial Court Ministry of Labor." ”
"I've seen Master Kong." He Fang said with his fists clenched.
"Please sit down, General He, I don't know what the results of General He's hunt this time were?" Kong Ru bowed and asked with a smile.
He Fang turned his gaze to Chen Hong, only to see Chen Hong nodding, He Fang replied with a smile: "Haha, Master Kong said that he laughed, He's subordinates have been a little idle recently, and He took them to Hangai Mountain to hunt in order to let these little rabbit cubs have a place to vent, mainly for military training, and as for hunting, it is secondary." ”
"Oh, General He's method of training soldiers is really novel, when the next official came, I heard that there was a horse bandit named Zhang Mazi in Beijin, who turned Beijin upside down, and this person doesn't like treasures, but likes to plunder people." Kong Ru said with a smile.
He Fang's expression remained unchanged, and Chen Hong said in a round beside him: "General He, you can tell the truth, Lord Kong is not here to punish the crime this time, Lord Kong is here to deal with these prey for you." ”
When He Fang heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said amiably: "Haha, Master Kong, I said it earlier, it's all a misunderstanding, there are six thousand fat sheep this time, I don't know if Lord Kong has such a big appetite?" ”
Kong Ru pointed at He Fang and scolded with a smile: "General He, it's really a front bow and a back series, don't worry, Xia Guan is ordered by His Majesty to build a canal through the north and south this time, of course, the population is as much as possible, no matter how many people General He has, Xia Guan can swallow it." ”
"Haha, that's good, come, Master Kong, I'll give you a drink."
Kong Ru was carried out that night, and He Fang was also drunk, but after Kong Ru left, He Fang wiped his face with cold water and immediately became energetic.
Chen Hong pointed at He Fang and said: "Old He, it's not the old man who said you, don't pretend to be stupid in front of this kind of person in the future, this is a naked villain, the villain is very narrow-minded, if you make him think that you look down on him, it will be troublesome." ”
He Fang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the teachings of the boss, didn't I see this later, so I flattered him with all his might, by the way, my lord, this time to build the canal, is there anything we do in Beiping County." ”
Chen Hong shook his head and said: "No, this canal goes from Changsha to Zhuo County, and our Yanzhou waterway is not passable, so it doesn't come to us." ”
"Grandma, the imperial court has forgotten our Yanzhou again, really, Yanzhou is already barren, and there is no good road, what will we do to develop?" He Fang said scoldingly.
Chen Hong shook his head and said: "Hehe, although Your Majesty is not ready to build a canal for us, Your Majesty has promised to build a road from Luoyang to Yanzhou, and it is also a road with a track, but we have to make a big deal in the state, so your slave has to sell some of it, keep some of it, and we also have big projects to do." ”
"Haha, I've already left my hands behind, this time I caught more than 10,000 people, gave Kong Ru 6,000, why don't we have more than 4,000 left, and the 6,000 people given to him are basically old people and underage children, and I hid the rest of the young people in the mountains and didn't bring them down." He Fang said with a sneer.
Chen Hong saluted He Fang with a glass of wine and laughed: "Haha, there really is your kid." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, do you want me to go to Beijin again, there are a lot of people there." He Fang asked without blushing or panting.
"Wait a minute, let's see how Beijin reacts, right?" Chen Hong waved his hand.
"Understood."
Recently, the people in the Ministry of Rites have been very busy, and as soon as Xiang Jie was sent away, Beijin began to make trouble again, Xiang Jie agreed to the conditions of ceding Huizhou, and what Datang did was to let the Southeast Naval Division get out of the way and open the sea ban on Southern Chu.
The main reason why Beijin came to cry this time is because their people have always disappeared for no reason in recent days, and it was Ming Qi who had just made a great contribution to the reception of Beijin's envoy, Ming Qi was very depressed recently, and he had obviously made a great contribution, but His Majesty only rewarded some property, and his official position did not even move.
Su Ji was also very depressed, because his intentions were discovered by Li Jun, and he was severely criticized by Li Jun and fined him for half a year.
Looking at the Beijin envoy who was talking endlessly, Ming Qi said impatiently: "Datang will send someone to investigate this incident, and I will notify you when there is news." ”
Sent away the Beijin envoy, Ming Qi went to Su Ji to report, the more Su Ji thought about it, the more wrong it became, Su Ji stayed in Beijin for ten years, and naturally knew how fierce the Beijin people were, and the ordinary horse bandits were not the opponents of those herdsmen at all, so it was very likely that the border army did it.
After figuring out this, Su Ji immediately entered the palace, Su Ji told Li Jun what had happened, and Li Jun snorted coldly: "Where did the horse bandits come from?" Obviously, it was He Fang's bastard who did it. ”
Su Ji was not surprised at all when he heard this, but asked lightly: "Your Majesty, how should the minister explain to the people of Beijin?" ”
"You go back and tell the Beijin envoys, just say that if they can't exterminate the horse bandits themselves, they can come to Datang for help, and I, Datang, help them exterminate this hateful horse bandits." Li Jun said coldly.
"No, the minister obeys." Hearing Li Jun's answer, Su Ji understood that Beijin had suffered a dumb loss this time, even if Beijin was angry, he didn't dare to let the Tang Dynasty's army enter Beijin's territory, it was easy to ask God to send God.
After Su Ji retreated, Liu Hong asked in a low voice while grinding Li Jun, "Your Majesty, is it okay to handle it like this?" The old slave is afraid that it will damage the face of the court. ”
"It doesn't matter, it's just the autumn wind, at that time, Beijin and Beiliao came to our Tang Dynasty to fight the autumn wind, and now I am just returning it to his body in the way of others, but He Fang still has to reprimand him, and the border army can't be so lawless." Li Jun waved his hand.
"The old slave obeys."
At this time, Dou Guan of the Military Aircraft Department was also scolding: "He Fang, this guy who doesn't learn and has no skills, it seems that he has to study hard, and the autumn wind is all done by barbarians, how can our Heavenly Empire do such a shameful thing?" ”
"Don't be angry, Lord Dou, there are three kinds of people in this world who can't read, the first is that a good person will become a bad guy after reading a book, but he is a hundred times worse than Bai Ding's bad guy, because he has absorbed enough evil capital from the book; The second type is the group of people who are confused about literacy, and their simple life creeds conflict with what is taught in the book after reading the book, and they can't tell the difference between right and wrong; The third type of person is a person like He Fang, who can be literate, and cannot delve into knowledge, otherwise the truth in the book will suppress his own spirituality, and it will definitely be a disaster for him after reading the book, so it is better for this kind of person not to read. Gao Zhe touched his beard and persuaded.
Gao Zhe's words were very reasonable, Dou Guan arched his hand to Gao Zhe and said: "Boss, the lower officials are taught, but my lord, Your Majesty just issued an order to reprimand, but did not let He Fang stop doing this, should our Military Aircraft Department also let it go?" If the border generals do the same, it will not be easy to manage in the future. ”
Gao Zhe waved his hand and said: "It's okay, now all over the country is building Chi Road, and canals are being built, Your Majesty doesn't want to hit the people of the Tang Dynasty, so you have to use foreigners, as for the border generals, don't worry, if you win the battle and grab people, then it's easy to say anything, our Datang has no precedent for killing meritorious soldiers, if you lose, it's not too late to punish the crime at that time." ”
"Thank you, my lord, for your doubts, the lower officials will go to reprimand Chen Hong and He Fang now."
Zhang Budo is in Liaozhou, He Fang is in Yanzhou, Pei Du is in Jiayuguan, Lou Zhong is in Liaozhou, Ji Meng is in the grassland of southern Yunnan, the army of the Tang Dynasty is crazy and generally attacks in all directions, and the countries around the Tang Dynasty are miserable, but in the name of the outside world, these people are robbers who fled from the Tang Dynasty, and those countries have no choice but to suffer this dumb loss, but at the same time they have strengthened their control over the border.
