Chapter Twenty-Three: Li Er's Acquiescence
Li Er's holy decree finally arrived belatedly, and the above made specific arrangements for Shuo Fang. The name of Shuofang was cancelled, the original land of Shuofang, Xiazhou, the establishment of the governor's mansion, and Xiazhou was proposed to Shangzhou.
Re-demarcated the territorial boundaries, placed Suizhou, Fengzhou and other prefectures, established a number of military offices, and the officers and soldiers of the old department of the former Liang Division were all pardoned and incorporated into the military governments of Xia Suizhou, becoming a member of the government military system.
There were also several officials from Zhongshu Province, and they heard from these officials that when the news of Shuofangcheng's capture reached Chang'an, the whole Chang'an was jubilant. His Majesty the Emperor deliberately announced the news in the early court, and the court celebrated with joy, almost singing and dancing on the spot.
Such a reaction is naturally expected by everyone, Shuofang is related to the northern land of the Tang Dynasty, which is the north gate of Guannei Road. Now, Shuofang has fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, which is like building a northern gate in Guannei Road to keep the Turks out.
In the future, the entire northern border will be connected, and the Guannai Province, Hedong Province, and Hebei Province will all be connected in a line, and it will be impossible for the Turks to come and leave as they said before.
In addition to this secret decree, there is also a decree to reward the army, similar to a decree of commendation, in which all the armies are gathered and read in front of everyone.
Wei Chigong specially asked someone to call Zhao Chen from the camp to Shuofang, whether it was to take Shuofang this time, or to rescue Chai Shao, Zhao Chen was a great meritorious, so on such an occasion, where could Zhao Chen be missing.
There was no way, Zhao Chen had to put aside the affairs of the camp for the time being, and hurried to Xiazhou City. Shuo Fang's soldiers won it bloodlessly, all because of Zhao Chen's words, which can be used as the initiator. Zhao Chen: This is the first time to come to this earthen city.
An earthen city that I saw from afar stood on the plain. Like a giant beast crouching quietly, next to it are two rivers that run day and night. The wind and snow came from the depths of the plain, and when they reached the majestic city, they came to an abrupt end.
The group entered Dongcheng, and the street in front of them was already densely packed with people, all of whom were Tang soldiers and horses who came to Shuofang this time, and their faces were full of excitement, and it could be seen that they were enjoying this moment.
The emperor is supreme. To be able to hear the Emperor speak to them, even if it was relayed by outsiders, they still seemed fanatical. Zhao Chen estimated that at this time, even if good wine and good food were placed in front of them, these people would also disdain it.
"A typical bunch of fools!" Zhao Chen couldn't help muttering in his heart, and then walked along the road left by the people on both sides towards the inner city.
"Chang'an Hou!"
And just when Zhao Chen and his party walked in the direction of the inner city. The soldiers on both sides were looking at Zhao Chen with a look of awe. Then, the crowd shouted first, and then the whole crowd shouted in unison.
"Chang'an Hou!"
"Chang'an Hou!"
"Chang'an Hou!"
“……”
Tens of thousands of people shouted together. The sound was deafening, echoing above the entire city, and it made people's blood boil. A pair of fanatical eyes. At this time, they all followed Zhao Chen's figure and the lance in his hand. Every time he shouted, he would tap lightly on the ground.
in this world. No one is a fool, Zhao Chen's words made them take Shuofang City bloodlessly, without death or injury, at this moment, in addition to the awe of Zhao Chen, in fact, there is also gratitude to Zhao Chen.
The movement outside had already alarmed Wei Chigong and the others inside, and several people immediately came out of it, standing on a high platform that had been temporarily erected, looking at it with a smile, Zhao Chen was in the frenzied shouts on both sides, like a hero returning triumphantly, walking towards them.
This is the soldiers, the real heartfelt cry, even Wei Chigong who was present has never enjoyed such treatment. However, despite this, Wei Chigong and the others were sincerely happy in their hearts
The person who came to summon was an official of Zhongshu, and Zhao Chen had always been a little wrong with Zhongshu at the beginning because of Yan Shigu. However, when this Chinese official came over, he bowed slightly towards Zhao Chen.
Shuofang's land is related to the entire Tang Dynasty, this is people paying tribute to him, Zhao Chen didn't dare to hold it up, and then, he also took a step back, stood up straight, and bowed slightly to the official.
Li Er's 'commendation order' was all written in classical Chinese, Zhao Chen stood below with Wei Chigong and others, and the official above was depressed and frustrated, shaking his head, but listening to Zhao Chen's ears, it was like listening to a book from heaven.
This is a 'commendation order', it is completely a scripture, Zhao Chen couldn't help muttering in his heart, in this way, it is strange for these killers to understand.
However, as soon as he finished muttering these words, when he peeked at Wei Chi Gong on the side, he was immediately surprised to find that the old Wei Chi Gong was actually fanatical, and a pair of vinegar bowl fists were clenched tightly, looking like he could smear Li Er's liver and brain anytime and anywhere.
When the unbeliever looked at Xue Wanche again, he found that the Xue family brothers, Liu Lan and others were all the same virtue as Wei Chigong.
"No, it won't! Do you understand this? Zhao Chen was surprised on the spot when he saw such a scene. When he secretly looked at the group of soldiers below, he was shocked to find that except for him, almost all the people at the scene had the same expressions as Wei Chigong.
It's a little ashamed, but he is also the one who will become a teacher in the academy in the future, but at this time, he can't even understand a 'commendation order', so it's better to kill the talents below!
Zhao Chen was ashamed below, and the above 'commendation order' was finally coming to an end, and when he heard the tsunami-like cheers coming from the mountains beside him, Zhao Chen had to pretend to understand and cheer together.
And then, it's gone!
After reading a 'commendation order', Wei Chigong walked up to the high platform and said a few words of praise to the bottom, and then it was over!
"That's the end of it?" Zhao Chen didn't react for a while, and watched the soldiers below disband, each returning to their respective positions, slightly stunned, looking at Liu Lan beside him and asking.
"Isn't it over?" When Liu Lan heard Zhao Chen's words, she couldn't help but be stunned, the 'commendation order' had already been read, and His Majesty the Emperor had boasted about them personally, so why didn't it end?
When Zhao Chen heard this, a sense of speechlessness suddenly rose in his heart. It's also too perfunctory, and there's nothing affordable at all. It's not as good as the stew he treated the Xuanjia Army before!
I despise Li Er a little in my heart, and such a great credit has been made. How many dry goods are sent! That's good, just listen to it. The 'commendation order' that they didn't understand at all was sent away.
"What did Your Majesty say in the decree?" Thinking of this, Zhao Chen suddenly looked at Liu Lan and asked in a low voice: "Ben Hou was thinking about the affairs of the camp, but he didn't hear it clearly!" ”
I was embarrassed to say that I didn't understand it, so I had to make an excuse, anyway, everyone here knows it. He was busy with the affairs of the 20,000 people during this time, and he was very busy.
"Uh... This one! When Liu Lan heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, and her expression looked very embarrassed: "Liu is a martial artist, and he is just ... I didn't understand it! ”
When Zhao Chen heard this, he opened his mouth in surprise, and suddenly felt like vomiting blood, he had paid attention to it just now, the people around him. Everyone listened to it with great enthusiasm, and thought they all understood, but he was illiterate!
"I don't understand, what's the excitement!" Zhao Chen dropped a sentence angrily. He threw down Liu Lan, who was stunned, turned around and walked towards the inner city.
The original Shuofang was renamed Xiazhou, so. This means that there will be a new beginning here in the future. The place that was originally occupied by Liang Shidu. Reclassified and divided into states. It is controlled by the Governor's Mansion of Xiazhou.
Liang Shidu's original 'palace' has been demolished, and now that Shuofang has belonged to the Tang Dynasty, if this 'palace' wants to continue to remain, it is prohibited.
The few buildings left in the inner city have now become the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion. And at this moment, in the Governor's Mansion, Wei Chigong and a few people were busy discussing the division of the territory.
Zhao Chen sat lazily on a soft floor, listening to Wei Chigong and the others arguing in the room, but he was thinking about the big camp in his mind, and he turned a deaf ear to the quarrel of Wei Chigong and the others.
He doesn't pay attention to this matter, anyway, it is divided and divided, and it is not all on the territory of Datang, it is just what state that that place belongs to.
It's just that after hearing it, and hearing that Wei Chigong and the others had been divided, Zhao Chen's brows couldn't help frowning.
"Chang'an Hou, but do you have any different opinions?" Chai Shao, who was on the side, observed his words and looks, and found that Zhao Chen, who had been silent, suddenly frowned, immediately looked at Zhao Chen, and opened his mouth with a smile.
"Hehe, Chai Gongyan is serious, but there are just some questions!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he stood up from the soft collapse, spoke, walked to the map in front of several people, pointed his finger at the Hetao area on the map, looked up at a few people and asked, "I haven't heard a few generals talk about these places just now!" ”
There are large areas of fertile grassland in the Hetao area, but now it is occupied by people from the eight tribes of the party, and Zhao Chen frowned when he heard that Wei Chigong and others did not mention the Hetao from beginning to end.
As soon as Zhao Chen's words came out, there was a wry smile on the faces of several people in the room, but they looked at Zhao Chen one by one, just laughing and not saying a word.
"This place is the tribe of Dang Xiangqiang!" After being silent for a while, Wei Chi looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Now, the party members have returned to the Tang Dynasty, and Your Majesty has also acquiesced in their operation in the Hetao area!" ”
"I didn't understand too much!" When Zhao Chen heard such an explanation, a slight anger flashed in his heart, but on the surface, he looked at Wei Chi Gong with a smile and asked, "I want to ask Uncle Wei Chi, what does this submission mean?" Does it mean that in the future, the party members will be the same as the people of Datang, all of whom will be registered in Datang, and then accept the recruitment of Datang? ”
"Or is it just that they just symbolically pay tribute to Datang every year, and other than that, it's the same as before, what should it be, what is it?" As he spoke, Zhao Chen's face twitched slightly, and he looked at Wei Chigong and asked.
"Naturally, it won't be the same as the people of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhao Chen's words fell, and the atmosphere in the room had changed unconsciously, and anyone could see the anger contained in Zhao Chen's words at this moment. Hearing this, Wei Chi Gong took a slight breath, groaned, looked at Zhao Chen and said.
"Then I don't understand!" When Zhao Chen heard this, his face was completely cold, he looked at the few people present, and said: "We worked hard here, and in the end it was easy to win Shuofang, and as a result, because of the words of the party members, they immediately gave away a large area of grassland to others, what is the reason?" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all silent! (To be continued......)
