Chapter Twenty-Three: Partner

The Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, as well as the Four Towns Jiedu Envoy Office set up at the beginning of Tianbao, are all located in the center of the inner city, located on the central axis of the entire urban area, sitting west and facing east, facing the direction of Chang'an City.

Take the meaning of 'on behalf of the herdsmen of the sky, sealing the territory for thousands of miles'.

Tang system, the festival degree makes the double festival. Reward with special rewards, and kill with special festivals. The line is to build a festival, and the house tree is six.

At this time, there were six red flags fluttering in the sky above the Dadu Protectorate, each of which was made of fine tribute silk by the embroidered girl in the palace.

Entering through the open door of the cave, General Zuo Wuwei and Anxi Deputy Protector Cheng Qianli saw the old man standing under the festival hall at a glance, with white hair and an abnormal red appearance on his thin cheeks, and only a pair of eyes, still revealing the majesty of a tiger.

The owner of Anxi and Beiting is here to welcome you!

"Prince, old man." Cheng Qianli strode forward and wanted to support him, but was stopped by the old man with his eyes.

"It's coming to fruition?" The old man's voice was low and hoarse, which worried him, but he did not dare to make a mistake, and took a few steps back in a proper manner, took a scroll of paper from the hand of his attendant, and presented it with both hands.

"The subordinates are in charge of the edict of Zhongcheng, holding the festival to make a big meal, before and after a few months, finally do not disgrace the mission, now the peace has been completed, hereby present the covenant, please Zhongcheng see it personally."

After hearing the words "not dishonoring the mission", Wang Zhengjian breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a void under his feet, he waved his hand, let the subordinate take the document, and flipped through it casually.

"Okay, go in and say."

As he spoke, he took him and turned around and entered the festival hall, and he only stood for a moment, and he was about to lose his support.

Sitting in the hall, which symbolizes the supreme power of the four towns, Cheng Qianli is inexplicably a little restrained, even if there is only an old man left in the hall at this time.

“...... His subordinates arrived at Samojian on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and after the initial contact with the governor Ziyad there, he did not make trouble for the arrival of his subordinates, and he felt that things might be done, and under his introduction, his subordinates followed him to Mulu, which was built according to Samo, and went west for three hundred miles, and was the governor's palace of the Great Cannibals in Khorasan, and reached this peace agreement with their chief officer. Under the latter's gaze, he told the process of the trip one by one, because he took care of the old man's body, and only briefly described it.

"Is this Qi Yade the same person who was defeated by the Gao Kaifu last year?" Wang Zhengjian quietly listened to his narration and asked.

"Exactly." Cheng Qianli nodded.

"What does this person think?"

"The stature is not as tall as that of his subordinates, and he doesn't look like a brave warrior, so he should be a wise general."

Hearing the answer, Wang Zhengjian knew that this guy didn't pay attention to his intentions, but he didn't criticize him, but continued his question.

"Do you think this proposal has been done?"

"This ......" Cheng Qianli was shocked, and suddenly understood, he thought about it carefully, and spoke cautiously.

"From the point of view of his subordinates, the big cannibal should be intended to consolidate, at least for the time being, there is no intention of attacking, and this proposal should be eighty percent credible."

Probably? Wang Zheng was a little surprised, and showed the other party with his eyes, wanting to know what he would say.

"The subordinates are not speculating, the big cannibals stop in the middle of the river, and even the Zhaowu countries have not been left in trouble, and it is obvious that they have not been caught. According to my opinion, Da Shi has no more than 10,000 troops stationed in Samo, and his subordinates have asked people to investigate, and they have no intention of urging the cities in the river. If there is really a big move, the troops can be hidden, the intentions can be hidden, and it is impossible to do such superficial efforts such as requisitioning people and mobilizing grain and straw. ”

This is indeed the reason, Wang Zhengjian nodded approvingly: "This result, before sending you as an envoy, the old man expected it, if they were interested, the best chance was to go to the ninth month of the year, when the old man had just taken over Anxi." ”

In this regard, Cheng Qianli also admired it, you know, at that time, the towns of Anxi were panicked, and they all thought that the big cannibals would take advantage of the situation to march and end the rule of the Tang Dynasty for more than 50 years in one fell swoop.

Coach Gao Xianzhi was depressed, and even the entire four towns were lifeless, only this old man, after receiving the edict, rushed to the station as quickly as possible, and at the same time brought nearly half of the Beiting garrison, and immediately based on this, reorganized the Anxi defense system, which stabilized the situation in the mansion in one fell swoop.

"In fact, there is something else to be gained from this trip."

Cheng Qianli's words made Wang Zhengjian a little surprised, but he had no intention of planting willows.

Xiao Bolu, that is, the Quy Nhon Army of the Tang Dynasty, in a corner of the garrison camp, wafted out a smell of meat with the smell of fireworks.

Liu Ji carried a treated leg of mutton, used a short knife to remove the fur little by little, and then put it on a sharpened hardwood stick, the other end of which was made into a zigzag crank, a bit like the one used in rural wells in later generations.

The fire was already lit, and the leg of mutton and the stick were placed on the two sticks, and the height was adjusted to make a simple rotating barbecue device, and he turned the stick at an even speed, and with the other hand, he grabbed a handful of crushed coarse salt, and sprinkled it slowly, and soon the smell of the roast wafted out.

While seemingly concentrating, the voices he hears from time to time are the focus of his attention.

"What did the military council say today, to fight or not to fight?"

"Wang Lao'er's situation is worrying, I'm afraid it won't last long, I can't fight, I can't help it, Feng Sima sent someone back to the house, I'm afraid that the person hasn't arrived yet, and it's already ...... over there The obituary was sent. ”

The one who answered the call was a very tall man, who was at least 1.85 meters tall, and sat on a stool like Duan Xiushi, looking a bit like a small bench in later generations, but he was half a head taller than the latter.

"Shen Yan, one mansion in the middle, two towns in the festival, old man and old man, can you also call it?" Duan Xiushi slapped him and lowered his voice: "You barbarian, can you have a taboo on your lips, let people hear, it's another mistake, do you think this town guard is too easy?" ”

"It's all my own people, I'm afraid."

The big man grinned, his eyes swept over Liu Ji intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "Who doesn't know that Wang ...... Zhongcheng's plan is to take the lives of our brothers to support the madman Cheng, I'm sorry, he's also worthy? ”

Liu Ji was doing his own thing quietly, but his heart was fluctuating, and he didn't need to be introduced, he also guessed who this big man who was called a 'barbarian' by Duan Xiushi was.

Feng Changqing's legendary experience is because of Gao Xianzhi's weight, and the combination of the two perfectly interprets the word 'partner'.

Whenever Gao Xianzhi went on an expedition, he would appoint Feng Changqing as the queen of the festival, responsible for a logistical affair, and the tacit cooperation between the two created the myth that the former was undefeated, of course, it was before Talas,

And in Anxi, there is a similar combination, if Duan Xiu is doing Feng Changqing's work, then he will be the main general who destroys the city.

He really deserves it, because this person is a fierce man who used a Mo knife to fight all over the Western Regions, which made the Hu people frightened, and was called "Divine Power", who was the general of the Right Weiwei and the guard of Shule Town at that time.

Li Siye!
