Wang Zhengjian was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, is there anything else I don't know the inside story? So he asked: "The general came late at night, presumably this matter is very important, if there are other hidden secrets that the official does not know, please also ask the general to speak!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a while, and then said: "The marshal doesn't know, Chu Ge led 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Henglus City, and the military expenses of the garrison are borne by Shi Guo, and the garrison can also collect taxes on the past caravans, this tax is a large amount of income every year, how much is it, the last general is not clear, but it should not be less, so this tax is purely earned, as far as the last general knows, the garrison will leave a small part of this tax to subsidize the food and rewards of the soldiers, and most of it will be handed over to the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion, If we want to return the garrison power to Anxi, the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion is afraid that it will not be handed over easily, and I am afraid that there are many officials and generals in the Metropolitan Protectorate who will not agree to hand it over, which will lose their interests after all, the reason why Gao Xianzhi wants to return the garrison right is that this income is only one of the reasons, because after they take back the garrison right, the tax will be collected by them and fall into the pocket of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. It is also possible to fall into the pockets of some generals themselves! That's number one". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Second, if we hand over the right to garrison, then we will not only lose a large amount of taxes every year, but also allocate military funds to support Chu Ge's 3,000 soldiers and horses, which were previously raised by Shi Guo, and we can still get a lot of money, but now we have not only lost a large amount of income, but also have to pay to raise these 3,000 men and horses, this account, as long as they are not fools, anyone will calculate it, and who is willing to make a loss-making transaction? I'm afraid that the handsome man doesn't want to, right? ”

"Third, if Gao Xianzhi just wants to return the garrison rights, the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion has picked up a lot of bargains over the years, and the last general can come forward to talk to Lai Yao and ask him to hand over the garrison rights. The last general will come forward to talk to Gao Xianzhi again, let them make some money to make some compensation, and both sides will take a step back, and this matter should be resolved, after all, if this matter is made to the imperial court, no one knows what the result will be. But if Gao Xianzhi wants to return to the garrison power, and also wants to take Chu Ge's 3,000 men and horses to the command, this matter will not be easy to handle. ”

Wang Zhengjian listened to Zhao Ziliang's analysis and sighed: "If it weren't for listening to the general's words, this official really didn't know that there were so many bends and curves in this!" When the official first came to take office, he heard people talk about Gao Xianzhi, saying that this person loves money as his life, and often coerces the barbarians in his jurisdiction to pay tribute to him. So according to the general's opinion, how should our Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate deal with this matter? ”

Zhao Ziliang arched his hand and said: "This matter is just speculation between the marshal and the last general, what Gao Xianzhi has specific thoughts is still unknown, and he did not express specific thoughts in the letter, the last general thinks that if he really wants to return the garrison rights of Henglus City, he will definitely send someone over to discuss with the marshal again in the future!" ”

Wang Zhengjian nodded, "Makes sense!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Dashuai, how will the last general reply to him?" ”

Wang Zhengjian thought for a while and said: "It's definitely not okay to refuse, the garrison power of Henglus City was originally the protectorate of Anxi, and it is natural for him to want to go back, if we insist on occupying it and not giving it, in case he writes to the court, and the holy edict comes down, we still have to hand it over, maybe this official will be reprimanded by the saint." Well, write back to him and ask him to send someone reliable to negotiate with him, and we'll see what they think before making a decision."

"So, the Admiral understands! The hour is not early, and the last general will not disturb the marshal's rest, farewell! Zhao Ziliang stood up after speaking.

"This official will not be far away, butler, send General Zhao for this official!"

After Zhao Ziliang returned home, he left Bai Xiaode and Servant Bone Huaien to play in Tingzhou for two days, and then asked them to return to Anxi with his letter to Gao Xianzhi, in which he not only asked Gao Xianzhi to transfer Bai Xiaode and Servant Bone Huaien to Beiting, but also asked him to send reliable people to discuss the issue of the garrison power of Henglus City.

A month later, Bai Xiaode and Servant Gu Huai'en respectively brought their families to Tingzhou, accompanied by Gao Xianzhi to negotiate the right to garrison Henglus City, and when Zhao Ziliang saw this person, he knew that he was also an old man.

"Chang Qing visited the general, I haven't seen him for many years, and the general is more powerful than back then!" After Feng Changqing saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately stepped forward and bowed with his fists in return.

At that time, Feng Changqing was just a guard under Fumeng Lingcha, and was not valued by Fumeng Lingcha, and he didn't achieve anything until he was in his thirties, it was Zhao Ziliang who discovered his talent and promoted him to be the official of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion to preside over Tuntian and the camp, and Zhao Ziliang left a letter of recommendation to him when he left the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion and recommended him to Gao Xianzhi. When Gao Xianzhi first met Feng Changqing, he was also very unimpressed by his ugly appearance, but after all, it was recommended by Zhao Ziliang, after all, it was not easy to wipe Zhao Ziliang's face, so he reluctantly left him, but Gao Xianzhi soon discovered Feng Changqing's talent and began to entrust him with important tasks.

Therefore, Zhao Ziliang has the grace of recommending Feng Changqing, which is also one of the reasons why Feng Changqing is extremely respectful to Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang picked up Feng Changqing and said with a smile: "Changqing, we haven't seen each other for five or six years, right?" It seems that now you are mixing well under General Gao, and your talents have also been brought into play, if I didn't want to enter the Beijing Face Saint back then, the future is uncertain, I must leave you by my side to listen to it, I was really reluctant to recommend you to Gao Xianzhi at the beginning, but seeing that you have now become General Gao's Jiedu judge, Chongqing Wangfu Records to join the army, I am also very relieved, your talent has not been buried, this is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Feng Changqing heard this, and his heart was extremely moved, although Gao Xianzhi appreciated him very much and entrusted him with important tasks, Gao Xianzhi's military talent was not much worse than Zhao Ziliang, but if it was about character, Zhao Ziliang's character was much more noble, which was also something he always thought was a pity.

"If there was no general's appreciation, promotion and recommendation back then, Chang Qing would still be an unknown little guard now, and the general's grace will be unforgettable!"

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said with a smile: "It should be a happy thing to meet today, why make it so sad, Wang Dashuai ordered me to receive you, I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, let's have a good drink later!" ”

Feng Changqing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Changqing must accompany the general to have fun!" ”

Bai Xiaode and Servant Bone Huaien also bowed their hands to Zhao Ziliang at this time and said, "I've seen the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "It's going well along the way, right?" ”

"It's going well!"

The two replied, and then turned their heads and beckoned to the back to call the two little boys, Bai Xiaode said to the little boy beside him: "Call Uncle!" ”

The little boy looked almost exactly the same as Bai Xiaode, he had a powerful appearance at a young age, and his left earlobe hung with a big shining silver ring like Bai Xiaode.

The little boy said to Zhao Ziliang very seriously: "Uncle, my name is Bai Qi, my father said that the person he admires the most is you, he said that you are the person with the highest martial arts in the world, but I must defeat you in the future!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then opened his mouth and raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha."

Bai Xiaode was quite embarrassed, and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, this is the little Bai Qi, the child is not sensible, let the general laugh!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head with a smile and waved his hand and said: "Okay, good, your ambition is not small at a young age, Uncle is waiting for you, and when you have practiced your skills, you must come to Uncle to compete!" ”

"Okay, that's a deal, pull the hook!"

"Hahaha good, pull hook!" Zhao Ziliang laughed and touched Bai Qi's head.

Servant Huaien said to Zhao Ziliang: "General, this is a little servant Gu Ling, Zhu Er, call Uncle quickly!" ”

Servant Guzhu raised his head and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Hello uncle, my name is Servant Guju." Bai Qi can't even beat me, and he wants to be ashamed to argue with his uncle, he can talk big! ”

Bai Qi stopped hearing this, and said angrily: "That's because you are older than me, when I grow up for a few years, I will definitely beat you all over the ground to find teeth!" ”

"Hmph, I'm afraid of you? Hit it! ”

"Hahaha" Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw the two little guys arguing and not convincing each other.

Zhao Ziliang beckoned to the back, and the three children stepped forward together, Zhao Ziliang introduced: "This uncle's son and daughter, the eldest Zhao Lei, the eldest Zhao Xue, and the third Zhao Ting!" You get to know each other, and you will be like brothers and sisters in the future! You three brothers and sisters, don't bully their two younger brothers, you know? ”

"Yes, Father!" Zhao Lei's three siblings agreed, and soon became familiar with Bai Qi and Servant Guju.

Everyone came to the banquet that had been prepared and took their seats, eating and drinking and chatting. Bai Xiaode and the family members of the servant Gu Huaien soon became familiar with Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang, the wives of these two were Qiuzi and Servant Guren respectively, but they both spoke Chinese, so there was no problem in communicating with Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang, and several people quickly started to work together, like sisters.

After the banquet, the ladies all went to the backyard, the maids brought tea for a few people to enjoy, Zhao Ziliang took a sip of tea and said to Bai Xiaode and the servant Huaien: "I have already arranged your position." For the time being, you will join the army in the Sima Mansion on the march, and then you will be transferred after three months! ”

The two hurriedly agreed: "Everything is up to the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked Feng Changqing again: "Can Changqing start a family?" ”

Feng Changqing said: "I have a family, my eldest son is six years old, thank you for the general's concern!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "Okay, you all have a family, it's good!" You are here to represent General Gao this time to discuss with Beiting the issue of the garrison rights of Henglus City, I don't know what General Gao thinks? (To be continued.) )
