was beaten down but could not take revenge, and Fugu Huaien felt quite frustrated in his heart. He is not very old, but as his father's eldest son, he will be the hereditary governor of Jin Wei in the future, and he has always regarded himself very highly.

He, the governor of Jinwei, is much more valuable than the popular governor among the descendants. Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has also had two governors of the Fugu Department, one is the Sugu tribe chief who was placed in Ulzhou and Shuozhou, and the other is the Fugu tribe chief who is scattered with his tribes near the Sanshou Surrender City, the latter was killed by Wang Hui on the charge of colluding with the Turks in a vain attempt to trap the city, along with hundreds of households in Hequ - Du Shiyi's Jinshi and the later were ordered to watch the wind in the north, and Zhang said that he would drive ducks to the shelves to appease the Tongluo tribe, but also because the shock caused by Wang Hui's killing and surrender was too great.

But these two clan chiefs, after all, are not orthodox servants who have been canonized by Taizong Li Shimin. Also after many years of displacement, there are still thousands of people under the leadership of the father of Fugu Huai'en, which is extremely considerable among the Shuofang Zhuhu. He gave Fugu Huaien such a Chinese name, precisely in the hope that he would be able to serve in the Tang Dynasty in the future like the former Qibi He Li Ashina Sheer, and enter the prime minister to revitalize the Fugu Department. Since he was a child, he was strictly taught by his father in this way, coupled with the majestic soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and his ambition to join the army can be said to be engraved in his bones.

So, when he came to Du Shiyi again after losing the battle at this moment, he couldn't lift his energy. In the tribe, whether it is a contest or a defeat, the loser will be ridiculed and humiliated, and he is also mentally prepared for this. Unexpectedly, although he heard a laugh, the words that followed were somewhat unexpected.

"Huaien, those Hu chiefs in Kang Guo were in tears before, begging me to intercede for those Hu people who were placed in Jianghuai Heluo in the Kang Zhibin Rebellion, but you made sarcastic remarks, saying that they did not know how to make meritorious contributions, so those Hu chiefs invited themselves to send troops and horses to fight each other, you have caused me a hot trouble."

Du Shiyi actually called his name affectionately, and raised his head when he was on the ground. But Du Shiyi's mouth was troublesome, but his face was extremely relaxed, he immediately thought about it quickly, and replied in a moment: "Dashuai, although I was in a momentary mood at that time, those people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu obviously thought about it a long time ago!" Since they are willing to send their own troops and horses, why should the commander agree to them, if they fail to succeed, it will be a holy judgment under His Majesty, and they must first show corresponding sincerity and loyalty. With these soldiers and horses, the marshal will send the brave generals to train and teach them loyalty, and as time goes by, why worry that they will not feel the trust of the marshal and sincerely submit? ”

These words, which looked like those loyal and righteous ministers in the court, came out of the mouth of Fugu Huaien, a Tiele man who was like a fake, and Du Shiyi only felt extremely subtle in his ears. However, he really had to admit that there were pros and cons to the generals and soldiers, sometimes these soldiers and horses would rebel, but sometimes these soldiers and horses could really be loyal and loyal, and they would see how to deter and how to use them.

So, he coughed lightly, and then asked, "Your father sent you to Lingzhou to serve in the army, is it possible to make you alone?" ”

"Naturally impossible, my father has always been loyal and righteous, and His Majesty has repeatedly given him kindness, and now he is already a member of the General Right Weiwei, how can he be so stingy!" The frustration of Fugu Huai'en's frustration just now was swept away, and it was replaced by self-confidence and pride, "My father gave me eight hundred elites in my clan, and I am willing to ask for it from Du Dashuai!" ”

Du Shiyi understands now, those Hu chieftains surnamed Zhaowu Jiu before, one by one, the number of troops and horses sent by one did not exceed five or six hundred, and it is no wonder that Fugu Huaien looks down on them - these are the only ways to intercede for them, how can they compare to the generosity of the Jinwei Governor of the Fugu Department to join the army? He had already taken a fancy to the bravery of Fugu Huai'en, and immediately readily agreed at this moment: "Okay, since Ling Zun is so loyal, I should immediately report to His Majesty and ask for a military position for you." The horses under your command will be under your own control, and from now on you will train with the soldiers I have chosen. ”

This time, Fugu Huaien was finally overjoyed, and bowed and thanked: "Thank you, handsome!" He had never understood why his father did not send him to join the army when Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, was in charge of Shuofang, but now he suddenly let him come, and now he didn't expect these at all, only the joy of being valued.

And after Du Shiyi ordered Wang Changling and Gao Shi to personally settle Fugu Huaien and the soldiers and horses he led, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yi coerced the prestige of Tubo and the Khitan and led the Shuofang Hedong Jiedu envoy, and there was no shortage of independent generals under his command, and others were only worried that Li Yi could not look down on him. But he is different, youth is capital, but sometimes it is inevitably despised, not to mention that he took over this time suddenly, and he didn't have time to make any preparations.

So, after he settled down, he said to Feng Changqing beside him: "Chang Qing will follow me back to Lingwu Hall, I have something to say to you." ”

Just mustered up the courage to show the knot in his heart to Du Shimei, but the reply he got was surprising, and Feng Changqing was still a little upset at this time. When he arrived in the Lingwu Hall, Du Shiyi sat down on the main seat, and then bowed his head and said, "Chang Qing doesn't have to be informal, sit down and talk." ”

Feng Changqing sat down as he said, but he was still confused, and he didn't know how to speak.

And Ye Tianmin, who was the attendant in the study, curiously glanced at Feng Changqing, who was not good-looking, and even a little lame, but then found that Lai Ling was glaring at him with inexplicable eyes. In the past few days, Lai Xuan has been serving in Lingwu Hall because of Du Shiyi's order, and Ye Tianmin has gradually understood what his father did in the first place, but he still has a little unspeakable anger towards Lai Shengyan and the others, so he glared back at the other party without fear at this moment. So, Feng Changqing, who was sitting opposite Du Shiyi, saw Ye Tianmin and Lai Ling, who were standing on the side, staring at each other with big eyes, and even puffed out their cheeks when they reached the end, and he laughed unconsciously.

After this laugh, not only Feng Changqing immediately realized that he was rude, but even Ye Tianmin and Lai Ling saw Du Shiyi suddenly look over, and the-for-tat expressions between each other were too late, and they all showed Du Shiyi a straight look. For a while, the two of them hurriedly lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, and Feng Changqing was also extremely embarrassed and asked: "Excuse me, ...... handsome."

"It's just a child's play, I don't think I'll be embarrassed when I see it." Du Shiyi skipped this matter lightly, and then said, "You said before that this time you returned to your hometown is a matter of people, this is natural, you have lived in Anxi for 20 years, and you are more familiar with it than your hometown, so really speaking, the Western Regions is your second hometown." You feel that you can't do it in Shuofang now, and I also deeply understand that although you are studying, you are proficient in economics and history, but you can't talk about it, and the road of the imperial examination will be difficult. And you are not the champion of the three armies, and the path of joining the army does not seem to work. ”

Feng Changqing lowered his head a little discouraged, but then realized that Du Shiyi said that joining the army seemed to be unworkable, not completely unworkable! So, with a glimmer of hope, he immediately raised his head and looked directly at the young Shuofang Jie Du envoy, and asked expectantly, "The big marshal may point out a clear path?" ”

"You are in the army in Shuofang, and you get twice the result with half the effort, this is because you don't know much about the geography of the mountains and rivers in Shuofang, and the situation of Hu and Han living together, and you are even more unfamiliar with personnel. Shuofang's military horses are already majestic, and the generals will inevitably judge people by their appearance, although I am modest, but it is not good to be rashly promoted to you. ”

Seeing that Feng Changqing was only a little discouraged, Du Shiyi changed his words and said: "However, you are not without a familiar place, that is, Anxi." Now that the Tuqi Shi Sulu Khan is old, he has lost the hearts of the people when he hears it, and the soldiers and horses surnamed Huang who are not convinced by him as the Khan are ready to move, among which Mohe Dagan is even more ambitious, and the four towns of Anxi will definitely have a battle to fight sooner or later. You asked yourself to return to Anxi before, and it is indeed a road, because there you can do twice the result with half the effort. ”

When Feng Changqing heard this, although he was very moved, he knew that he was not good-looking, and he could even be said to be a little ugly, and even if he was familiar with Anxi, he was just an unknown person, where did he get the opportunity to improve? Without waiting for him to open his mouth to ask about this, he only heard Du Shiyi turn his head to the two young attendants on the side and ask: "Lai Xuan, you mentioned before that a brother in your family is studying here from Anxi, can there be such a thing?" ”

Lai Xuan was worried about the dispute with Ye Wenjun just now, which attracted Feng Changqing's sneer and was noticed by Du Shiyi, who was a little absent-minded. As soon as Du Shiyi's sudden question came, he was in a hurry for a moment before he finally figured out the situation, and hurriedly said honestly: "Back to the marshal, this is indeed the case." The clan brother is generous and ambitious, and he has read a lot, so he traveled from Anxi to Shuofang, and his grandfather also took good care of him. ”

"Well, your father has been busy these days, and he may not be able to take care of his family, I will write a post to you, you will go home early now, and then give this post to your brother, and invite him to see me in the future."

Lai Xuan thought that Du Shiyi was going to drive him away, but he was relieved when he heard that he was talking, and quickly agreed respectfully. And when he hurriedly left the Lingwu Hall, Du Shiyi said to Feng Changqing, who was a little unclear: "The clan brother of Lai Ling is the deputy capital protector of Anxi, and the son of Lai Yao is the envoy of the Four Towns Festival. Since he came to Shuofang, it was also right for me to summon him. At that time, I will personally recommend him to you, and you will not run into a wall if you are recommended to Anxi. In addition, my cousin Du Anzhi, who is now serving as the secretary of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and participating in the military, will also take care of you. ”

Hearing this, Feng Changqing finally suddenly realized. Thinking that he was just an envoy to Tibet from Zhang Xing, and the rest of the work was not achieved, Du Shiyi thought so thoughtfully for himself, and he felt five guiltily for a while. His heart was agitated, and he got up, and bowed straight down and said: "If you are successful in the Qing Dynasty, you will never forget the grace of the handsome!" ”

Du Shiyi hurriedly got up from her seat, helped Feng Changqing up with both hands, and then sighed secretly in her heart. He sent Du Anzhi to Anxi to take up his post, but in fact, he also wanted to go to the land in the Western Regions to experience it, but who knew that Lu Dao backfired, and he finally failed to go to Anxi, but instead transferred to Shuofang, so Feng Changqing seemed to be a little energetic and had nowhere to go. So far, I can only see if the deputy capital protector of Anxi and the envoy of the four towns can see if Lai Yao can recognize people with his eyes and use one to seal Changqing!
