"Mi Sima, you said that this long history has been here for ten days, why haven't you shown up, every day you are either hiding in the room to discuss with Lord Duhu, or you are nowhere to be seen, it is not because you are dissatisfied with us."

In Xi'an City, in the central hall of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, a group of officials surrounded Sima Michang and asked.

Li Hongzhang once said that the easiest thing in the world is to be an official.

Of course, this is for those servile officials who have no revenge and pursuit in their hearts, and who are not thinking about how to make meritorious achievements, but who are eating for themselves.

For those who are truly ambitious, this is the most difficult thing in the world.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, where the power of the gate valve is strong, the children of the poor family can pass the selection at all levels and finally become officials, which is sad and not enough for outsiders.

Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is located in the northernmost frontier of the Tang Dynasty, and has been regarded as a bitter cold place by the Tang Dynasty officialdom in all dynasties, except for a very small number of children of wealthy families, who come here to serve for the sake of ideals, most of the middle and low-level officials are the children of the poor family or the children of small families with little background.

Even so, it is extremely inappropriate for these people.

Over the years, the power of the Anbei Protectorate has shrunk, how will the imperial court deal with it, and there are still other plans to abolish the Metropolitan Protectorate, they don't know, so when the imperial court sent Duan Jian, the new chief who came with a purpose, came to visit, they wanted to explore the situation, but unfortunately, in the face of the officials who went to visit the Metropolitan Protectorate, Duan Jian was gone, and all the gifts sent were returned.

"Don't worry, Duan Changshi must have come with the will of the imperial court and the queen mother, if you don't move, you will be a blockbuster, otherwise, you won't have been discussing with Lord Du Hu behind closed doors for days." Mi Chang pretended to be calm and said.

"But, Mi Sima, that's what I said, but no matter what we do, do you always have to reveal a little bit of wind to us, not to mention what use we can play, but after all, we have been here for many years, and all kinds of situations are more familiar than Duan Changshi, he has never shown up, and we are really uneasy in our hearts!" After hearing Mi Chang's words, some officials couldn't help but sigh.

"Hahaha, Master Zhao doesn't need to worry, this ........"

"Whoever is uneasy in his heart, he doesn't do anything bad in his life, he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, as long as he does his own thing honestly, even if the sky falls, he can't find you." Before Mi Chang could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice beside him.

Hearing that the words were interrupted, Mi Chang didn't even have a trace of dissatisfaction, but turned around with a smile on his face and saluted behind him, "Subordinates, welcome Dadu Protector." ”

"I'm waiting to welcome Lord Protector."

And all the officials hurriedly saluted.

"Okay, let's all be exempt, I will gather everyone here today, that is, there are a few things to tell you, first of all, this is the trust Changshi appointed by the imperial court, Duan Jian, Duan Bufan, everyone knows each other, and Duan Changshi will do things with us in the future."

"We'll see the long history."

After worrying for so long, today I finally saw the main master, and it was impossible for many officials not to be excited, even if some people were surprised by Duan Jian's youth, they also saluted Duan Jian very respectfully.

"Let's all be polite, in the future, I will have to fight with my colleagues, although I have a long history, I am young, if there are any shortcomings, I hope that your predecessors will give you more advice."

The sedan chair was lifted by everyone, and a few good words were said, anyway, there was no loss, and it was able to get the favor of everyone, why not, besides, since you are here, you must quickly integrate here, which is also Duan Jian's style of doing things.

Although many people still had a skeptical attitude towards Duan Jian, after hearing his words, their hearts were still slightly relaxed, and for a while, everyone laughed, and the whole scene looked happy.

Seeing such a harmonious scene, Xi Shoucheng on the side also nodded secretly, he has been an official for many years, he has seen too many young talents, but there are very few people who can really stand out, the most important point is the attitude of dealing with people, who is doing thousands of things, but in the end, as long as one thing is done well, a person is considered a successful person, that is, he interacts with others, and if he does this well, all kinds of things are just idle.

"Okay, since everyone already knows each other, then the second thing is the second thing, this matter is related to the life and death of my Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate." Xi Shoucheng continued.

Hearing this, in the hall where there was laughter and laughter just now, everyone instantly became silent, and the mood that had been relaxed immediately rose again, and everyone knew that the verdict that had been waiting for a long time finally came down today, whether it was good or bad, it was at this moment.

"In view of the fact that the Turks are becoming more and more domineering and actually provoke the national prestige of our Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has decided to unite Tiele and various tribes in the steppe to jointly resist the Turkic army.

"Good ......"

As soon as Xi Shoucheng's words were finished, a roar resounded through the hall. Many officials didn't need to look up to know that the one who could make such a roar, and the one who dared to speak at this time, was only one person, Shi Daring.

Of course, the rest of the people are also very excited at this time, waiting for the verdict for many days, today finally has the answer, how can they not be excited, what's more, even laughing from ear to ear, after all, according to the original situation of the Anbei Protectorate, it is good not to be removed by the imperial court, in that way, what will happen to the officials of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, no one dares to imagine, but now, not only has it not been removed, but the imperial court has to confront the Turks, so that the strength of their Anbei Protectorate will be greatly strengthened, Correspondingly, their status should also increase, not to mention, as long as there is war, there will be merit, and Datang is the most important military merit, as long as there is military merit, their desire to go to the next level can be realized, this kind of great good thing, how can they not be excited.

"Okay, great, I've waited for so many years, I've been aggrieved for so many days, I've finally waited for this day, others don't dare to guarantee it, but I'm bold enough to follow Duan Changshi to the death and exterminate the Turkic dog."

Shi Daring couldn't help but stand up and roar at Duan Jian because he was too excited.

Fortunately, this is in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and Xi Shoucheng is the Metropolitan Protector, otherwise in another place, Shi Daring would have dared to show the center to an outsider so blatantly, I am afraid that he would have been unable to eat and walked around.

Looking at Shi Daring's standing like a crowd and his attitude during the conversation, Duan Jian had a good impression of him at that time.

"General Shi is jealous and hateful, heroic by nature, he is really a hero and hero that Duan Mou has only seen in his life, and he also asked General Shi to be worshipped, and he will rely on General Shi to take care of him in the future." Walking in front of Shi Daring, Duan Jian bowed respectfully to him.

"Don't dare, don't dare, so-and-so..... How could a certain vulgar person deserve such a big gift from Duan Changshi, he was tormented, he was tormented. Shi Daring, who was still majestic just now, became helpless when he saw Duan Jian behaving like this.

"Hahaha......"

is so abnormal, causing everyone to laugh, but in this laughter, there is a slight sourness.

Many officials know that after today's scene, this Shi Daring can be regarded as relying on Duan Jian's long history, if Duan Jian is just an ordinary long history, it will be forgotten, after all, there is also the existence of Xi Shoucheng, the deputy protector of the future.

But is Duan Jian an ordinary long history, obviously not, not to mention that at this time, the imperial court came to serve as the long history, which is obviously the meaning of reuse, besides, although Xi Shoucheng is the nominal commander of the Anbei Protectorate, his body is already extremely weak, and he may die one day, which is also very possible.

Seeing that this Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is about to fall into the hands of Duan Jian, how can they, as subordinates, not want to find a way to get close to Duan Jian, which is why these days, they have been asking to see Duan Jian, but now, they have thought of things that they have not done in any way, but they have been stunned in their eyes, and this can not make them feel jealous.

If most of the officials are just jealous, Mi Chang is furious, he usually claims to be the first wise man in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, but today he is compared to a second fool, so he can not feel uncomfortable, but people are not as good as heaven, in fact, he can only cry out in vain.

"Dadu Hu, Duan Changshi, since the imperial court wants us to join forces with Tiele and other tribes, I don't know what plan it can't achieve." Afraid that his stomach would be burst with anger, Mi Chang asked.

As soon as Mi Chang talked about business, the silence in the hall returned to what it was just now, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Duan Jian.

Duan Jian slowly walked back to his seat, and highlighted two words with a faint smile, "Harmony." ”

"Boom ........."

As soon as the word 'harmony' came out, the atmosphere in the hall that had just fallen silent reached its peak again, and many officials could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts.

For Heqin, Duan Jian, who came from later generations, thought that this was a shame for the Han nation, but for the people born in this era, especially the people of the Tang Dynasty, it was a form of showing themselves.

Of course, the main reason is that harmony has indeed brought many good benefits, when Princess Wencheng married Tubo Songtsen Gampo, it allowed Datang and Tubo to maintain peace for more than ten years, not only that, even after the Tang Dynasty and Tubo regained their friendship, Datang and Tubo did not break off contact.

In the previous time, although there was no doubt about the idea of the imperial court contacting the Tiele tribes and jointly fighting against the Turkic army, he doubted whether the imperial court had this ability, after all, the current Tang Dynasty was no longer the Tang Dynasty in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, at that time, the Tang Dynasty was invincible all over the world, and Li Jing was able to sweep countless enemies on the desert with thousands of Tang troops, but now in the Tang Dynasty, the upper echelons of the court are constantly fighting, and the people below are in turmoil.

What's more, it is also unknown whether the Tiele tribes will join forces with the Tang Dynasty, after all, the tribes on the grassland pay the most attention to interests, and for the sake of interests, they can even kill their own fathers and mothers, not to mention that they will fight against strong enemies for other countries.

But with the relationship of harmony, it is different, in that way, whether in the minds of the Tang Dynasty or the Tiele tribes, they will become a family, unite to fight against the Turks, and there will be no mutual embankment.

Looking at every smiling official in the hall, Duan Jian sighed, his heart was full of helplessness, and at the same time, this strengthened the original plan in his heart.

........................

Chicken field state

Looking at the tragic situation after the war in front of him, Ashina Guduolu, who was riding a horse and standing on a high slope, said with a cruel smile on his face, "Yuanzhen, this is the first few Tiele tribes we have eliminated. ”

Hearing Ashina's inquiry, Ashde Yuanzhen replied without even thinking about it, "Hui Great Khan, this is already the thirteenth tribe, we have wiped out a total of thirteen small tribes of Tiele, killed more than 13,000 people, captured 5,000 prisoners, and countless cattle and sheep. ”

"Okay, Chuan Ben Khan's order, let my Turkic warriors make persistent efforts, and we must use the fastest speed to wipe out those Tiele tribes, and when the time comes, it will be time for us to have a big meal."

Just as Ashina Guduolu and Ashid Yuanzhen were talking, a sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and when the fast horse was still dozens of feet away from them, it still did not slow down, but seemed to speed up a lot.

But for this batch of fast horses galloping over, neither Ashina Guduolu nor Ashid Yuanzhen paid attention to it, and they didn't even look up.

"Slightly ......"

When the fast horse was less than five miles away from them, they heard an angry cry from the horse's mouth, and pulled the reins of the horse with both hands, and then saw the fast horse that was galloping, as if it had been killed by someone, and could not take a step again, and raised its front hooves, and made a neighing sound in its mouth, and then stopped in place.

"Great Khan, it seems that General Ayanlu's riding skills have been strengthened a lot, such a good horse, he was tamed so obediently in three days, it is indeed my Turkic warrior." Ashide Yuanzhen opened his mouth and praised.

Looking at the knight on the horse, Ashina Gu Duolu couldn't help but smile.

While they were talking, Ah Yanlu, who was praised by them, had already arrived in front of them, and after saluting Ashina Guduolu and Ashid Yuanzhen, they saw Ashina Bone Daolu and Ashid Yuanzhen roaring with a trace of anger on his face, "Great Khan, why can't we attack the big tribes of the Tiele tribe, attacking these small tribes every day, and I can't even find a few opponents from the sun, I really feel extremely bored." ”

As he spoke, he threw the bloodied sword in his hand to the ground.
