Chapter 219: Mission
(This is yesterday's third update)
Upper Valley County, Sky Wolf House.
Qin Cheng has stepped down, no longer the commander of Shanggu County and the chief general of the three armies, and now he only leads the position of a hussar battalion general, speaking of which, he has only sat in the position of Shanggu County Guard for less than two years, although the time is short, but it is a hot ass, and it is not so a loss to leave office now. However, as early as a few days ago, Liu Che had already issued an order to give him the title of hussar general and lead the hussar battalion. Although there is only one word difference between this general and a general, and the word hussar has been added in front of the general of Qin Cheng, its position and energy have long been incomparable.
Today's Qincheng has changed from a feudal official to a complete soldier. These days are the time when the legend of Qin Cheng's life has been greatly exaggerated in Shanggu County, especially in Qiansang City, whether it is ordinary people or high-ranking officials and nobles, the deeds of Qin Cheng have already become their desserts after tea and dinner. And Qin Cheng, who has nothing to do, has just gotten married, and he is also in the time of being proud of his life at this time.
Because Le Yi played an affectionate confession at the marriage dinner in Qincheng, Qin Cheng, a guy who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, took the opportunity to give him and his sister Qin Yue's marriage again. In two days, it will be the wedding date of Qin Yue and Le Yi, Qin Cheng has not had time to fully enjoy the fun of the newlywed Yan'er, and before the honeymoon has started, he was caught by Qin Yue and Le Yi and gave them to run west.
Today, after being tired all day, I finally got idle, and before I had time to drink a sip of the tea that my newlywed wife had made for herself, Nangong Shang ran over, and ran to the pavilion in the backyard as soon as he entered the door, without saying a word, he directly snatched the tea that Qin Cheng had in his hand and had not yet drunk, and regarded it as a thirst-quenching thing, which caused Qin Cheng to be furious.
"Good tea, good tea!" Nangong Shang smacked a mouthful of it, and said to Bai Xinxin with a shy face: "Come, sister, have another bowl!" ”
It is said that Nangong Shang played a vital role in this war because of the intelligence of the intelligence team under his command, and he was also awarded the title of Zuo Shu Chang by Liu Che without hesitation, and also gave a vacant position as a Taizhong doctor, but he was not given the title of marquis. Although the stronghold of the intelligence team in the grassland was brought to the end by Yi Xue'er's original nest, the entire intelligence team was not destroyed, and the intelligence team in Qiansang City and even the entire Shanggu was still intact, and many of them were also rewarded by Liu Che for their meritorious deeds.
Bai Xinxin covered her mouth and smiled, and she didn't have a problem with this unreliable guy, so she gave him another bowl.
"What are you talking about now, you are also the head of Zuo, can you give the court chief some face? Look at your virtue, just like when you were a child, you have lived in vain for more than ten years. Qin Cheng sat reclining and couldn't help but quip.
Nangong Shang laughed twice, drank the tea in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "No matter how much you look like a dog now, you can't offset the stinky thing of being tricked into the dung pit by me when I was a child, what's there to be proud of?" Can you say that you weren't the one who fought with Le Yi in the dung pit? ”
"......" Qincheng.
Nima Qincheng really wants to yell, Nima's person is really not me!
Seeing Qin Cheng's aggrieved appearance, Nangong Shang became even more proud, he sat down next to Qin Cheng and said with a sneer: "When did you win against me from childhood to big bickering?" Finding faults? Aren't you looking for scolding? ”
Qin Cheng rolled his eyes, "That's my disdain to play tricks with you." ”
"The person who loses always likes to say that he disdains ......"
“...... Do you believe that I beat you up? ”
"I'm now the left chief of His Majesty's imperial seal!" Nangong Shang said proudly.
"Hehe, I'm still the hussar marquis general of His Majesty's imperial seal!" Qin Cheng said insidiously.
Bai Xinxin saw that the two of them were going to repeat the previous story again, and couldn't help but knock on the tea bowl, and said impatiently: "You two are endless, how old are you, every time you meet, you are like a child, and you are embarrassed to say that you are the hussar hou hussar general and the left chief?" ”
Qin Cheng and Nangong Shang laughed twice, each retracting their momentum, Qin Cheng said, "Okay, listen to your daughter-in-law and get down to business." What do you have to do this time, tell me! ”
"It's still a matter for the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team." Nangong Shang corrected his color, "In the past few days, I have run all over the strongholds of the Chamber of Commerce inside and outside Qiansang City, and the intelligence team personnel from all over the country have also met with them, and I have also sent many people to gather together to discuss the revitalization of the intelligence team. ”
"What's the difficulty?" Qin Cheng asked.
"There are two main difficulties. One is that most of the elites of the intelligence team are no longer in the grassland, and the number of leaders at all levels is obviously insufficient, which will greatly reduce the strength of the intelligence team. Then there is the future direction of the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Corps. "Nangong Shangdao.
Qin Cheng took a sip of tea from Chang'an and muttered: "Shanggu borders Chahadi, and the local chamber of commerce's trade with Chahardi should be legalized in the future, so the power of the chamber of commerce does not have to worry." And the intelligence team, it's still a problem. ”
Hearing Qin Cheng say this, Nangong Shang was a little anxious and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't have any will for the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team?" ”
The reason why this question makes Nangong Shang feel anxious is because the answer to this question is related to the position of the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team in Liu Che's heart, if Liu Che has no intention of the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team at all, it means that the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team have not entered Liu Che's eyes at all. That is, no matter how Liu Che rewards the intelligence team of the Chamber of Commerce, it will only be this once. In other words, after Qincheng and the hussar battalion were stationed in Chang'an, the lives of the chamber of commerce and the intelligence team also came to an end.
Seeing that Nangong Shang was anxious, Qin Cheng paused deliberately, and smiled incomprehensibly, and then said to Nangong Shang mysteriously: "Nangong Shang, Nangong Shang, how do you think Your Majesty will instruct the Chamber of Commerce and the intelligence team?" ”
"Straight thief, don't tease me, beware of me going mad!" Nangong Shang gritted his teeth and said.
"Ahem!" Bai Xinxin's sound of tapping on the tea bowl sounded at the right time, and he squinted at the two of them.
"Huh!" Qin Cheng laughed dryly, and said in his heart that this woman really didn't marry into the door, since she beat this Bai Xinxin through the door, she is like a big hostess, and she is in charge of this general, and she is completely no longer the fair lady of the year, Niang Xipi, it seems that she has to clean him up tonight.
"Your Majesty doesn't have clear instructions for the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team, just that it can't be abandoned." Qin Cheng said so, and saw that Nangong Shang's face was a little gloomy, and he said with a smile: "But that is all under the premise that Your Majesty did not see Zhang Qian, and now Zhang Qian has returned to Chang'an from the Western Regions and brought back the big world of the Western Regions." Nangong Shang, your chance has come! ”
"Really? Where does this begin? Nangong Shang was surprised.
"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, haha!" Qin Cheng laughed proudly twice, his eyes inadvertently touched Bai Xinxin's warning eyes, he had to settle down again, coughed twice, and patiently explained to Nangong Shang: "According to the news brought back by Zhang Qian, the Western Regions not only have the stainless steel technology that the Han needs, but also the sweat and blood BMW, and countless other good things, but these are not the point, the point is that in a few years, the Han will trade with the Western Regions!" In fact, this is not the point, the point is that His Majesty is eloquent! Do you get the idea? ”
"Uh......" Nangong Shang's eyes rolled, and he just wanted to scold me for understanding your ancestors!
"Trade needs caravans, and if there is a caravan, there will be a chamber of commerce, and the treasures of the Western Regions are everywhere, and Your Majesty is eloquent, so the Western Regions will be a big man in the future, and this is the opportunity for the intelligence team......" Nangong Shang muttered, the more he analyzed, the more frightened he became, and in the end he couldn't say any more.
"Exactly." Qin Cheng nodded, "But you and I can understand these things in our hearts, but we can't say it, otherwise you and I won't be far from moving." ”
"This is natural." Nangong Shang nodded excitedly, now he sees hope, and it is a big hope, how can he not be excited?
"But before that, Hexi (Hexi Corridor) must be opened, and if Hexi (Hexi Corridor) is not opened, the Han Chamber of Commerce will not be able to open up the Western Regions. And in order to open up Hexi, we must first recover Henan. Qin Cheng stood up, walked to the pavilion, looked up at the gray sky, his face was solemn, and his voice became heavy, "This is the next task of the Han Army, and it is also the task of the Chamber of Commerce and the Intelligence Team!" ”
Nangong Shang walked over and stood side by side with Qin Cheng, and said firmly: "This time, the intelligence team will definitely be knighted alive!" ”
Bai Xinxin looked at the backs of the two of them, blinked her eyes, and her eyes were full of brilliance.
......
Qiansang City.
"Boss, where are we going to live today?" In front of an inn, a young man with a large package on his back asked a middle-aged man beside him.
The man was about thirty years old, his appearance was quite elegant, he was wearing a green shirt, and his figure was slender, he touched a pinch of mustache on his chin, looked around, and saw the inn named Ma Yuan next to him, and said: "Ermao, let's live here today, you and I are here to find out the news, and it's not too late to go north." ”
"Okay!" The lean young man, Ermao, lifted the large package on his shoulder and shouted happily.
"Yo, how many are objective, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The shopkeeper saw that a customer came to the door and hurriedly greeted him.
"Wait for me two rooms, and when I'm done, I'll go and rest." The man in the green shirt responded with a smile, and then turned around and instructed a man behind him, "Da Niu, you go with this little brother to tie the donkey, and then come to the lobby to find me and wait." ”
"Yes, host." The big cow urn replied angrily, and went with the shopkeeper.
"What do you want to eat?" Without waiting for the man in the green shirt and Ermao to sit down, Xiao Si ran over to greet him, "The sake in this store is a must, even General Qin is good at this, do you want a pot?" ”
"Oh?" The man in the green shirt sat down, looked up with great interest and asked, "But General Qin of Qincheng?" ”
