As soon as Feng Changqing heard Zhao Ziliang ask about the matter, he said with a straight face: "Is the general going to discuss with Changqing on the issue of the garrison power of Henglus City?" Can the general represent Wang Dashuai and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course, this general can represent Wang Dashuai and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, Wang Dashuai means that at least we must know what General Gao intends to do first, and we can only make a decision after deliberation within the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, because this matter is not what General Gao wants, and we will negotiate and come up with a feasible way to solve this matter, what do you say?" ”

Feng Changqing thought for a while and said, "General Gao means to let Wang Dashuai and Beiting return the garrison rights of Henglus City to me Anxi completely!" In addition, it is said that the Chu Ge army stationed in Heng Logos City can collect taxes on their own at the beginning, and the garrison power of Heng Logos City originally belonged to my Anxi, so the tax money collected by the Chu Ge army should belong to my Anxi, so please Wang Dashuai and Beiting return the tax money collected in the past eight years to me Anxi! ”

It's really a lion who opened his mouth, Zhao Ziliang was directly happy after listening to it, Feng Changqing is also a sky-high asking price, right? In fact, such a condition for the return of tax money should not be put forward at all, because the money has long been used, where is there any possibility of returning it? Even if it wasn't spent, it would be impossible for Beiting to give the money to Anzai. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Chang Qing, you and I are both understanding people, and we can be regarded as old acquaintances, so let's not come to the void." The matter of returning the right to garrison troops can still be discussed, but it is absolutely impossible to talk about the return of the taxes collected over the past eight years, and there is no possibility of talking. If the Anxi side insists that we return this money, then we won't even talk to you about returning the garrison rights, and General Gao can take the lawsuit to the imperial court! In addition to returning the garrison rights of Henglus City, does General Gao have any other conditions? ”

Of course, Feng Changqing also knew that it was impossible to get back the tax money collected by the Beiting side in Henglus City over the years, and he just mentioned it casually to test the reaction of the Beiting side, since Zhao Ziliang had already said it to death, he would give up.

So he said: "Okay, we don't need this tax money, in addition to taking back the right to garrison, General Gao also wants the command and command of Chu Ge and his 3,000 soldiers and horses, because when the emperor ordered Chu Ge to lead 3,000 troops to garrison Henglus City, the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion was still under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and a few years later, when the imperial court issued a document to assign the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion to the Beiting Governor's Mansion, the Beiting side should return the command and command of Chu Ge and the 3,000 soldiers and horses to my Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Chang Qing, you can't say that, the things of the year have passed, and General Lai Yao and General Fu Meng, the Beiting Protector of the Mansion, have now gone to the capital, if we still blame them for this matter, I'm afraid it's not authentic, right?" These two have a lot of prestige in Beiting and Anxi, and if we do this, what will the people below think of us? ”

Feng Changqing hurriedly said: "The general's words are serious, Chang Qing didn't say that he wanted to put the responsibility on General Lai and General Fumeng, the last general is just a matter of things, Chu Ge and his three thousand soldiers and horses originally belonged to Anxi, so it should be returned to Anxi!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled, "Changqing, your logic is not right, according to what you said, Lai Yao of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion and all the officials and generals of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion and their troops originally belonged to Anxi, and they should all be returned to Anxi, in this case, things are simple, return all the officials and soldiers and horses of the Lai Yao and Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion to Anxi, leaving only an empty shell, we happen to have a lot of officials and generals in the North Court who have no place to place, and it is just right to assign them to the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion!" ”

Feng Changqing's face turned green when he heard this, if all the officials and generals of the Lai Yao and Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion and their troops were given to Anxi, wouldn't the Anxi Governor's Mansion have to arrange positions for these officials and generals, and the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion also need to be garrisoned locally, and at the same time, a large amount of military salaries must be allocated to support them, isn't this a big burden? Where can Anxi vacate so many positions now, and where can he get so much military salary?

Zhao Ziliang saw that Feng Changqing's face changed, and said with a smile: "Okay, Changqing, the matter of garrison power can be discussed, as for other conditions, you don't mention it, on the contrary, if we want to give up the garrison right of Henglus City, there will definitely be some conditions, as for what the conditions are, I don't know now, I want to report General Gao's request to Wang Dashuai, and then Wang Dashuai and Beiting will decide, and when Beiting discusses a result, Changqing will be notified at that time, and then the talks between the two sides will officially begin. I hope Changqing doesn't worry! ”

Feng Changqing saw Zhao Ziliang say this, and he also knew that other unreasonable conditions could not be mentioned, and it was only right to be able to return the garrison at the least cost, so he said: "Okay, Chang Qing has been waiting for the general's good news in the post house these days!" ”

Zhao Ziliang originally wanted to keep Feng Changqing to live in his own house, but after thinking about it, considering that Feng Changqing was Gao Xianzhi's representative, it was really inappropriate to keep him at home, and the two sides had to negotiate, so it was better to avoid suspicion at this time, so he didn't open his mouth to leave Feng Changqing to live at home.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, Zhao Ziliang came to the Imperial Protectorate early in the morning to report to Wang Zhengjian the request of Feng Changqing as Gao Xianzhi's representative. ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "The last general thinks that it is best to call Lai Yao and Chu Ge to discuss this matter with the officials and generals in the Metropolitan Protectorate, after all, everyone is a party, and this matter is also related to everyone's interests and the interests of the entire Metropolitan Protectorate, they should also have the right to know and the right to suggest, this matter needs to be properly handled, don't make trouble!" The marshal has also been in Beiting before, and he should know that the border generals are unruly one by one, and they can only be convinced by reason and evidence, and blindly relying on power and administrative means to deal with this kind of thing will only backfire! ”

Wang Zhengjian touched his long beard, nodded after thinking for a moment, and shouted outside: "Someone, in the name of the Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, send a message to the Lai Yao of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion, and ask him to take Chu Ge, the general who is stationed in Henglus City, to arrive at the Metropolitan Protectorate after midnight to discuss matters!" ”

"No!"

On June 25, Lai Yao and Chu Ge came to the North Court together, Wang Zhengjian convened the main officials and generals of the Governor's Mansion to discuss the issue of the garrison power of Henglus City, Zhao Ziliang was not qualified to attend, after all, he was not involved in direct interests, not a party, but because he was the first person to negotiate with Feng Changqing, he was also asked by Wang Zhengjian to attend the meeting.

After the officials and generals arrived, Wang Zhengjian said: "The Anxi side asked us to return the garrison rights of Henglus City, we have 3,000 troops stationed in Henglus City on the Beiting side, General Chu Ge is the general who leads the army, and the military expenses of the garrison have always been borne by Shiguo, and the garrison can collect taxes from the past caravans to subsidize various expenses, some of these taxes are left for their own use, part of them are handed over to the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion, and some of them are handed over to our Metropolitan Protectorate, everyone here is a beneficiary, and our entire Metropolitan Protectorate has also benefited. Now it is to return the garrison power to Anxi, but it is to lose a lot of interests, but it is not okay not to pay, after all, Shiguo is under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Governor's Office, if this matter goes to the imperial court, I am afraid that the official and your face will not look good, so it must be handed over, as for how to pay, how to pay, this can be said. Do you have any ideas, please bring them up! ”

Someone immediately snorted coldly and said: "Great marshal, Gao Xianzhi did this because he took a fancy to the fact that the armies could collect taxes in Henglus City, and the garrison did not need to be raised by themselves, and Shi Guo would bear the military expenses, and everyone wanted to occupy this kind of plainclothes!" If the garrison rights are returned, General Chu Ge and his 3,000 soldiers and horses will have to be repatriated, and the military expenses will also be borne by our Beiting Protectorate, so that our Beiting side will not only lose a lot of benefits, but also have to bear the military expenses of General Chu Ge's 3,000 soldiers and horses."

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look, but it was Cheng Qianli, the deputy envoy of Xingying Jiedu, who spoke, and he continued: "Last year, I fought with the big cannibals, and General Zhao and I led the troops to Kang Guo among the Zhaowu countries, and the Zhaowu countries wanted me to send troops to camp in Kang State, and they would bear the military expenses, and then we reported this matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court asked the Anxi Protectorate to dispose of it by itself, Gao Xianzhi was of course happy to do this, neither did he need to be paid by the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but also could raise a team of 3,000 soldiers and horses, Gao Xianzhi was so happy that he couldn't sleep, Now he is eyeing the garrison power of Henglus City again, which is nothing more than to reap some benefits, and the extent of his greed can be seen! ”

Another official said, "So what? People occupy the name, if we don't pay it, if Gao Xianzhi really makes trouble with the imperial court, maybe the imperial court will issue an edict for us to unconditionally hand over the garrison rights, and we won't get anything at that time! ”

Cheng Qianli said angrily: "I can't see Gao Xianzhi's greedy face, I think I have some ability, so I am unscrupulous, hum!" ”

Wang Zheng was displeased when he saw him, patted the desk and said, "Okay, is it to let you quarrel when I call you, but to let you say your thoughts!" Lai Yao, Chu Ge, you are the direct parties, tell me how you are willing to hand over the garrison rights? ”

Lai Yao looked at Chu Ge and said, "General Chu, tell me what you think, it just so happens that the marshal and General Zhao and all the lords and generals of the Metropolitan Protectorate are here today, if you have any ideas, just say it, I think they can make decisions for us!" ”

Chu Ge looked at Yao, and then at Zhao Ziliang, and then said to Wang Zhengjian: "The marshal, the lords, the generals, the last general and the soldiers under his command have two more questions to know: First, after we hand over the garrison rights, how do the marshals and the Duhufu plan to settle us?" Second, how can the Anzai side compensate us? The last general and his 3,000 soldiers have been stationed in Henglus City for nearly ten years, enduring the pain of wind and sand and scorching sun every day, and there is no decent woman to adjust their lives, you adults think about it for yourself, more than 3,000 normal men have not touched a woman for nearly ten years, what kind of ghost day is this? Even in the underworld, those ghosts have female ghosts to tease, what about us? I can't even touch a female ghost, who else lives worse than us? ”

"Every day, I see nothing but yellow sand, but sand and dust, and sometimes I can't even see a ghost shadow for days, I don't know what we're doing in that ghost place. That's not my Datang land, why should we stay there? Yes, Lao Tzu is also a normal man, Lao Tzu also wants to marry a wife and have children, and also wants to have a wife and children by his side······". (To be continued.) )
