Chapter 361
After listening to Zhuang Fudi's words, Li Wen, who was still serving as the county guard here in Wuwei County, also smiled, and then pulled Zhuang Fudi, and the two brothers were the same, put their arms around his shoulders, and said to him: "General Zhuang, who is out of the way." When the head of the house comes, there will naturally be a welcome ceremony of the corresponding specifications of the head of the house. Besides, it's not because I'm behind my back that so many people are here, but they all came of their own free will. They told me that they all wanted to see what the brave generals who had been killed on the steppe had fled in all directions and had been overwhelmed. Is it really like the legend, heroic and unbeatable, as if the gods descended to earth? That's why they're gathered here today, and they're here to greet you. Besides, this is not bad, before you get here, the garrison and the local government personnel have already dispersed a group of civilians. Otherwise, this main road in Wuwei County can barely accommodate two people walking side by side. By the way, I haven't had time to ask you what I said, let's fight against Xue Ju this time, what kind of position did the head of the family appoint for you? Is it still the commander-in-chief? ”
Zhuang Fudi listened to Li Wen's words, and the heart that had been hanging back into his stomach could be regarded as being put back in his stomach. Since the last time he was ordered to return to Dunhuang County to attend Xue Renyue's wedding, he had never paid attention to the personnel changes in Wuwei County. Now that the Central Asian region is gradually stabilizing, a large number of civilian officials have been transferred from their original posts and sent to Central Asia for promotion. The reason why Li Wenyuan did this was also to enable the Central Asian region to build up the administrative system as soon as possible. Only when the administrative system is established and perfected can there be room for improving the financial system. If the administrative system is not straightened out, then everything else is in vain. This kind of large-scale personnel change, even if Zhuang Fudi is in Dunhuang County, has heard of it more or less. It's just that at that time, he felt that these things had nothing to do with him, so he didn't pay too much attention to them, his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he forgot about it after listening to it. Until Li Wenyuan appointed him to go to Wuwei County to once again lead the army to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Zhuang Fudi was crying in his heart, secretly praying that he would never assign a stranger as a partner. After all, this time in the face of the invasion that Xue Ju may launch at any time, it is really a difficult problem with tight time and heavy tasks. If you match yourself with an acquaintance, it's okay to say, everyone understands each other and has a tacit understanding, and you can do what you want to do directly. But if you arrange a new person for yourself, it will take at least half a month for the run-in between the two people. This half month is likely to become the only and most lethal defensive vacuum period in this Wuwei defense battle against Xue Ju.
Perhaps God really heard Zhuang Fudi's prayer, and he stayed overnight in Zhangye County on the way to Wuwei County. When he asked the county guard of Zhangye County who the county guard of Wuwei County was, the answer he got made him feel a lot more relieved, and the county guard of Wuwei County was still Li Wen. This made Zhuang Fudi breathe a sigh of relief, and his mood was not so heavy. Li Wen and him can be regarded as a very tacit partner, the two of them have similar personalities, and their ideas rarely conflict. Mainly because Li Wen was not a scribe before he became the county guard of Wuwei County. Before becoming Li Wenyuan's retainer, Li Wen was just a martial artist, but later he came under Li Wenyuan, Li Wenyuan saw that he had good qualifications, and others advised him to read more books to enrich himself. Li Wen listened to Li Wenyuan's advice, and in addition to practicing martial arts every day, he immersed himself in hard study. He already had some talent for reading. It's just that the previous situation forced him to have no conditions to study literature, but now he is concentrating on learning, and he is naturally making rapid progress. Soon he was nicknamed a martial artist among Li Wenyuan's retainers, which was used to describe his ability to be both civil and military.
Zhuang Fudi smiled at Li Wen, and then spread his hands and said to Li Wen: "This time, as before, all these legions and soldiers who have come over are under my command, and I am responsible for liaison and coordination among them. Of course, the liaison here also includes the military and local liaison. You also know that His Royal Highness the Tang King has repeatedly emphasized that no army that has left the support of the people can easily win a battle, even if he occupies a great advantage, he will become a sand tower because he has left the support of the people, and eventually drift away with the wind.
So before I came, I was worried about who I would work with. If I am assigned a new person, I will be sad to death, until I reached Zhangye County, I found out from the mouth of the county guard there that it turned out that your son was still here as the county guard. This is good news, at least I don't have to think about how to communicate with the county guard of Wuwei County every day. Since you're still here, then I just need to do my job, and the rest of the mess will be left to you. Is this a good start? The scale of the friction between him and Xue Ju this time is still unknown. It may be just a large-scale border conflict, and after the two sides have figured out each other's background between the continuous tentative offensive and passive defense, and then carefully weigh their own weight, will they have the ability to escalate this conflict into a war? It could also be a large-scale border war, or even a full-scale war as casualties on both sides increase. At that time, it won't be something that can be solved in a month or two. Even if the war goes well, it will take at least a year or so to end the war, but if you are unlucky, it may last two to three years. That's not a good thing. I don't care, my job is to fight, but for you, how to reduce the war-weariness in the hearts of the people under your rule is the most important thing. ”
Zhuang Fudi thought that what he said would give Li Wen a headache, but he never expected that Li Wen laughed after listening to Zhuang Fudi's words, and said to Zhuang Fudi: "Haha." Out of the way. You say that you are a general in the army, how can you think more than us civilian officials who are intriguing in the officialdom all day long? I'm telling you, none of the things you think are going to happen. Nothing can be called a hassle, just as nothing cannot be done. The rules formulated by His Royal Highness King Tang before have allowed these people to enjoy rich dividends on weekdays, and the lives of the people have long been greatly improved. Then when His Royal Highness the rule of the Tang King was in danger, it was only natural for these people to contribute their best strength to help His Royal Highness the Tang King win this war. This is their obligation, and it is also a small price they should pay after enjoying the benefits for so long. Steward, oh no, what did His Royal Highness King Tang say about that? To talk, we welcome; If you want to fight, we will accompany you to the end. When a friend comes, there is wine, and when a jackal comes, does he have a shotgun? You can rest assured. In the end, Li Wen also laughed at Zhuang Fudi. You soldiers just have to do your job well and win this war. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it anymore, and you won't be able to solve any practical problems anyway. ”
