Chapter 842: Poison Bait
Although the letter to ask for the official for Fugu Huai'en has not yet received a reply, but everyone is here, of course Du Shiyi will not let him go and the 800 elite warriors who were sent to the door, so he just stayed and practiced with the tooth soldiers he re-selected. Before, he ordered Zhang Xing, the judge of the festival, to personally know the training of the tooth soldiers, and let Huya be the assistant, because he was worried that in the eyes of others, Huya was just his servant and could not convince the public, so he asked Zhang Xing to put on a name, and at the same time to see if he had the ability to lead the army, and now Huya defeated Fugu Huaien in the previous sumo wrestling, and he intended to use the agitation method on Fugu Huaien again.
"A month later, the horses I led will train with the tooth soldiers he leads, and then compete against each other? Well, of course! ”
Fugu Huaien almost didn't think about it, and nodded his head in agreement. He didn't think about whether he had lost his identity in the competition with Du Shiyi's servant, and only wanted to avenge the previous defeat.
As for Huya, he followed Zhang Xing to review the newly selected tooth soldiers, and after seeing that everyone was not convinced, he took out the ten sharp soldiers he pulled out of Du Shiyi's family, and severely frustrated the sharpness of these Shuofang soldiers, although it was not enough to immediately convince people, but as soon as he heard that he would have a showdown with the soldiers in a month, Du Shiyi even offered a reward of 500 yuan.
Feng Changqing, who held the double recommendation letter of Lai Yao and Du Shiyi and the letter written by Du Shiyi to Du Anzhi, was ready to embark on the road back to the four towns of Anxi with deep expectation and gratitude. Du Shiyi's Lixian corporal is undoubtedly tempted and reluctant to leave, but it is precisely because Du Shiyi's reputation for employing people is so good that there are many talents here, even if he stays for a long time, he may not have a bright future, it is better to return to his starting place to fight.
The night before leaving, Du Shiyi specially set up a small banquet for him, and on the day he set off, Zhang Xing and Wang Changling Gao Shi came to see him off.
After sending Feng Changqing away, Gao Shi and Wang Changling returned to the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion together, they learned of the latest personnel changes. Although Wang Changling, the secretary in charge, did not move, Gao Shi moved the envoy. The envoy is below the judge, above the official, and the duties are similar to those of the secretary, but many Jiedu envoys do not have this position, the reason is very simple, if the Jiedu envoy recommends the scholar to serve this position is nameless and talentless, the court will rarely allow it. And this kind of thing is put on Du Shiyi, who was suddenly transferred from Longyou to Shuofang, so naturally there is no need to worry. As long as Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing are still in power, and Gao Shi is famous, why do they hesitate to support the post of envoy?
Promoted for no reason, Gao Shi was happy, and heard that the one who made up for his position as an official was an inspector of the original Shuofang Jiedu Embassy, and when Wang Changling congratulated him with a smile, he muttered slightly: "Young uncle, according to this, didn't the shogunate suddenly vacate the position of an inspector?" Could it be that the handsome man has taken a fancy to which talent? If he had been vacant earlier, maybe Changqing would not have returned to Anxi. ”
Wang Changling is not as sharp as Gao Shi in some things, but he is a little accurate in seeing people. He shook his head and said disapprecantly: "In this prosperous world, celebrities and celebrities are not born in the scientific field, so they think that they have a false reputation. You are open-minded yourself, and you have met a handsome, otherwise you would have to go to the field to find your way. And Chang Qing has no literary name, no background, and no outstanding appearance, even if he is a patrol officer here, others will accuse him of having no merit behind his back. Instead of that, why not go back to the four towns of Anxi? Although he didn't say it to us, looking at his expectations, it should not be as simple as the marshal recommending him to the envoys of the four towns of Anxi. ”
"By the way, the envoy of the four towns of Anxi Jiedu came to Yaolai Dashuai, and our Shuofang Jiedu judge came to Shengyan, and they have the same surname, is there a relative?"
The two of them unconsciously shifted from business to gossip about whether Lai Yao and Lai Shengyan were related, and when they stepped into the Lingwu Hall, they saw a somewhat unfamiliar young man beside Du Shiyi and immediately got up to salute, and when they returned the salute, they couldn't help but feel a little curious. The next moment, I only heard Du Shiyi explain to them: "This is the eldest son of the handsome envoy of the four towns of Anxi, I tested his bow and horse a few days ago, and planned to appoint him as the inspector of Shuofang Jiedu." ”
This really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
Wang Changling and Gao Shi glanced at each other, and at the same time sighed with emotion, if they didn't understand how Feng Changqing could return to his hometown happily, they would be too stupid. Realizing that Du Shiyi used a Laiyao in Shuofang, and Laiyao reciprocated in Anxi, he should always give Feng Changqing a chance, and they were naturally quite optimistic about Feng Changqing's way home.
"Since Duff is the envoy, from now on, the sacrifices, prayers, and orders for the dethronement will be returned to the young uncle. And the pilgrimage, the invitation and the condolences belong to Duff. As for if you are busy, some of my private messages here will naturally be biased towards the two of you. Seeing that Wang Changling and Gao Shi hurriedly saluted and agreed, Du Shiyi said with a smile to Lai Yao, "As for the inspector, Zizhen, you are the son of the general, the new official takes office, you might as well follow your uncle to familiarize yourself with Shuofang first, and wait until a month later, when the tooth soldiers have a good practice, I will allocate fifty people to you, and you will go to inspect the city of three surrenders for me!" ”
The farthest of the three surrendered cities, there are still more than a thousand miles away from Lingzhou, if ordinary people hear this kind of task, they must think that it is a chore, but Laiyao was originally a study tour, and now the first task of the first inspector is exactly what he wants, and he is simply very satisfied. After agreeing, he even wanted to go with the tooth soldiers, and he went immediately, but when Du Shiyi made it clear that General Xie Zhi, the deputy general of the Jingluo Army, would lead the troops to guerrilla, and that the Turks might send troops in the near future, he put away his impatience.
Even if he is conceited, he will not joke with his life!
After meeting Du Shiyi for the first time and making a request, those Hu chiefs did not get a positive reply, which was a terrible mood. They thought that Du Shiyi would not be able to easily master Shuofang's military horses, and would inevitably beg for this great gift they offered, but who would have thought that Du Shiyi would not swallow this incense bait at all! Knowing that Fugu Huaien had been left behind by Du Shiyi, and that the soldiers and horses he led were also training with the tooth soldiers, and even agreed on a battle in a month, they couldn't hold their breath anymore. These Hu chieftains from the surname Zhaowu Jiu discussed carefully again, and after the last time, they went to the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion again to ask for a meeting.
But this time, Du Shiyi didn't summon them easily. After the tooth soldier in front of the door reported in, the reply sent was very simple: "The marshal has been busy with official business recently, and he has no time to meet you, please go back!" ”
Such a blunt refusal made everyone choke and panic. After leaving the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, someone said viciously: "If you want me to go back, I will go back!" Shuo Fang is not comparable to Longyou, Cao Xiangdong Xie Zhi is such an arrogant soldier, can easily be held? I think Du Dashuai, the Shuo Fang Festival Envoy, may not be able to last long, so why should we make the wrong bet? Anyway, I've been waiting for so many years, and there's no hurry to wait for another year and a half! ”
"Nonsense! This time, it was hard to get the news from Jianghuai, among the four major surnames of Kang, An, He, and Shi, almost all the old people were dying, even if they didn't die, because they were scattered everywhere, the dragons had no leader, if they waited until they elected a leader, even if His Majesty pardoned them and returned to their hometown, we could still easily eat them in one bite? At this time, you must start quickly, and you should not forget that more than 50,000 people who moved out of Lu at the beginning, even if half of them come back now, there will be more than 20,000 people.
What has been the situation of our departments all these years? Even if women are encouraged to have more children, but if they are all added together, there are only more than 10,000 people, less than 20% of that year! If there are one or two thousand more people in each part, how many people will be in ten years, and how many people will be in twenty years? As long as we become strong, Datang will always be better to us, and if we are annoyed, we will go to the Turks, and we don't have to look at people's faces like today! ”
The person who spoke was Kang Zhibin's brother Kang Wuyan, and he was also the Hu chief who first pleaded with Du Shiyi. He was not directly involved in the rebellion at the time, so he escaped. Seeing that everyone showed thoughtful expressions, he said with a straight face: "So, don't be stingy at this time. Since the four thousand soldiers and horses Du Dashuai can't look down on, then make up six thousand people, and it is impossible for him to really swallow this army of soldiers and horses, and they will still be our people at that time! Whoever wants to be stingy at this time, and those people in Heluo Jianghuai on the other day have come back from pardoning, then there is no part of him! ”
So, but the next day, these Hu chiefs invited a famous man from Shuofang to write a joint letter sent to Du Shiyi again, this time the ministries were willing to put together 6,000 soldiers and horses to listen to the drive, and the joint book was full of grief and remorse, if you don't know the way, you will really be moved by these words. Du Shiyi looked at such a thing playfully, and then asked Fu Gu Huaien to call over, and pushed the joint letter over with a smile.
"Huai'en, these Hu chiefs are not giving up, look at it, it is bigger than Ling Zun's handwriting."
Fugu Huaien stepped forward suspiciously to take the joint book, glanced at it, and his eyes widened. Zhaowu Jiu surnamed gathered in Hequ Liuhu Prefecture Those tribes, he knows best, the small tribes are only a few hundred, and the big ones will not exceed two thousand, and all the populations of each department are full, it is absolutely impossible to exceed 20,000, and it will be up to the sky if there are 15,000, but this time they are willing to make up 6,000 people and horses to collect from Shuofang Jiedu!
"How is this possible!" After bursting out of these words angrily, Fu Gu Huaien was a little confused about whether Du Shiyi let himself see whether he was dissatisfied with the fact that his father gave him too few soldiers and horses, or something else, and he was a little hesitant for a while how to respond. And at this moment, Du Shiyi happily got up and walked in front of him.
"In this case, I am too lazy to see them now, so you can come forward for me and see what kind of charter they are. But let me remember, I have already written to ask for an official for you, you are the general of the Shuofang Jiedu Embassy, and you can't be sneering at them at every turn like before! ”
Knowing such an important matter, Du Shiyi actually handed it over to himself, and he was overjoyed when he was servant Huai Enden. He took a step back and bowed deeply, and then replied loudly: "It must live up to the high expectations of the handsome!" ”
Du Shiyi saw that the servant Gu Huaien was being teased, and when the person turned around, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Cao Xiangdong, Xie Zhi and others are proud of their achievements, if they want to break this situation, Longyou's methods will not work. What's more, even if he has generals, he must first have soldiers, even if the intentions of these Hu chiefs are revealed, he will have to try to swallow the poisonous bait, but before that, he can't be in a hurry, at least he has to wait until the person he asked for from Zaifu in the court arrives in Shuofang.
I just don't know if Kang Tinglan still remembers him after nearly 20 years.
