~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although the wind and snow in the Western Regions are cold, they can't stop the arrival of spring in Tarim after all. As soon as the ice and snow in the Gobi melted, Du Hu Gan Yanshou began to perform his duties, urging the field soldiers to train before spring planting.

The Han army of the capital protection province belonged to the tuntian soldiers, similar to the agricultural reclamation soldiers of later generations. Busy farming, leisure exercises, every year there are two seasons of summer exercises and winter exercises. The Metropolitan Protectorate can also adjust the training time according to the current situation in the Western Regions. However, no matter how it increases, it is based on the premise that it does not affect the spring plowing and autumn harvest.

Grain is the foundation of the stability of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Metropolitan Protectorate is the foundation of stability in the Western Regions, and there is no room for half a point.

Gan Yanshou's practice in advance is also preparing for their plan...... However, an approval document that arrived from Chang'an poured a basin of ice water on their heads.

When Zhang Fang received Chen Tang's invitation, it was still an ordinary banquet. When I arrived at the ground, I walked into Chen Tang's house, and saw that there was only Chen Tang with a gloomy face in the house, and the eye-catching wooden tablet on the desk, and I suddenly understood a little bit in my heart.

Zhang Fang waved back from the attendants, removed his shoes, entered with socks, sat down on the right side of the desk, first opened the lid of the urn in front of the case, sniffed, and smiled: "Mash, very good, very good." Then he took a pottery bowl and poured a bowl, and without saying much, he drank it himself.

Mare's milk wine, buttermilk and wine are more popular in the Western Regions, the first two are both sour and sassy, Zhang Fang can't drink them anyway, and he is not used to even all kinds of low-degree wine in the Han Dynasty. The only things that can barely be eaten are the slightly sweet mash and fruit wine. As for wine, even in the Western Regions, it was only occasionally drunk by nobles, and there were not many collections in the Metropolitan Palace. Zhang Fang tasted it, the sour taste was too great, and it was a little astringent, which may be due to the fermentation technology, but it was not to his taste anyway.

Chen Tang also poured a cup and motioned to Zhang Fang: "Childe, would you like to try this?" ”

"What is it?" It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Zhang Fang took a sip, frowned, and handed it back quietly, "Coptis wine? There is character. ”

Chen Tang was surprised, Zhang Fang was not only able to drink Coptis chinensis, but also did not spit it out, but swallowed it calmly, which was really not simple. And Zhang Fang's next words surprised him even more.

"Chen Jun is drinking this wine at the moment, presumably because the wine is like a mood, right?"

Chen Tang stared at Zhang Fang for a while, drank all the wine in the cup, and sighed: "Childe is really smart, today this wine can't pour the block in my chest." ”

The wooden slip on the desk was a court order, and Zhang Fang naturally wouldn't look at it, but he didn't need to read it to know what the content was, which must be more bitter than the coptis wine drunk by Chen Tang. Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou's ambitions were withered by this "bitter wine".

Zhang Fang glanced at the empty case opposite: "What about Ganduhu?" ”

"I'm on campus for training."

"Practice...... Soldier? Zhang Fang's eyes widened, at this time, Hou Gan Yanshou was still in this mood? I can't think I haven't heard from it yet, right?

Chen Tang understood what he meant, and shook his head: "Jun Guo is the first to see it...... I poured wine on the chest, and he cut it with a knife. ”

Zhang Fang nodded silently, the mouth of the bowl was close to his mouth, he suddenly stopped, and asked a strange question: "Who else has read this official document?" ”

"Jun, me, and you, Gongzi, are just the three of us. Official documents are usually read out to the officials at the morning meeting......"

"So, can you read it out?"

"Naturally, why ......" Chen Tang replied casually, his eyes widened suddenly, the whole person froze, and looked at Zhang Fang in horror, "Zhang Gongzi ......"

Zhang Fang smiled, he knew that Chen Tang must have understood what he meant. He didn't know how Chen Tang in history made that bold decision. Now it seems that at least he doesn't have this idea yet, in that case, let's "help" him make up his mind.

"If I'm not mistaken, Chen Jun is over forty, right?"

"It's just past last year."

"With all due respect, Master Ziyun, if you are forty and not confused, Chen Jun will definitely understand what you want and how to get it." Zhang Fang stretched out two fingers and looked directly at Chen Tang, "I'll just say two words, but the trade-off is in Chen Jun." First, the legacy of Gaozu is 'no merit or marquis'; second, if you take fame and fame immediately, you are a hero and a husband. ”

"Fame and fame can only be taken immediately...... Meritorious fame is only taken immediately,......" Chen Tang muttered several times, there was a fire burning in his eyes, and he poured a large mouthful of bitter sprinkling violently, smashed the bowl with a snap, and exhaled loudly, "The eldest husband should make contributions to the world, how can he sit in the city of sorrow?" ”

At this time, there was a cheer outside the door: "Zigong is arrogant, but he doesn't know how to say this?" Gan Yanshou, who had just come back from practice, took off his armor, and strode in with a hot breath.

Chen Tang laughed and pointed to the official document on the case: "The imperial court has issued a clear decree to allow you and me to fight Hu." The Son of Heaven and the Princes see it clearly, we should live up to our holy hopes and arrive in the Western Regions in a battle! ”

Gan Yanshou's feet were soft, he almost didn't fall a butt, his fingers were cold, his eyes were like bells, his mouth was open, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhang Fang pushed the case and said in a rambling voice: "In the past, the Marquis of Zhuangwu resisted the decree, and the Guici City beheaded the wings of the aunt, so as to ensure that my great Han prestige would not fall." The first emperor not only did not take responsibility afterwards, but was rewarded. There is also the right general of the court, the king of Shache outside the city, returned to the court to ask for guilt, the son of heaven was not guilty of the reward, and then there was a marquis into the cabinet. Not to mention the earlier Fu Jiezi stabbed Loulan and cleared the obstacles for the Han Dynasty...... Let's put it another way, starve the faint-hearted to death, support the bold - the two don't want to live in this position for the rest of their lives, do they do nothing? ”

There is an allusion to Zhang Fang's words. After Emperor Wu, Emperor Zhao, Emperor Xuan, Emperor Yuan's four dynasties, the legendary Chang Hui, nicknamed the Marquis of Zhuangwu, was once Su Wu's deputy envoy, and like Su Wu, he was imprisoned by the Xiongnu for more than ten years before returning to Han. When Emperor Xuan, he was sent to Wusun. Before Chang Hui left, he wrote a letter requesting that the Qiuzi people who killed the envoy Captain Lai Dan of Tuntian Jiaohebi more than ten years ago be punished. But Emperor Xuan didn't want to make extraneous branches, so he didn't agree. And Chang Hui, who received the instructions of the general Huo Guang to "act cheaply", as soon as he arrived in Wusun, he united all countries to crusade against Qiuzi. In the end, the king of Qiuzi was forced to bow his head under the front of the soldiers, and handed over the powerful minister Gu Yi who killed Lai Dan, and was immediately beheaded under the city.

Chang Hui, who returned triumphantly, was not punished for violating the holy will, but was rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and has been prosperous all the way since then.

The power of example is endless, also in the Xuan Emperor Dynasty, in the first year of Yuankang (65 BC), the Marquis Feng Fengshi of Wei sent an envoy to the Western Regions. Hearing that the king of Shache killed the Han Dynasty and made Lu Chongguo, cut off the northern road, and besieged the capital, the situation was extremely critical. Then he decisively sent the soldiers of the country to break through Shache and behead the king of Shache. Afterwards, the Son of Heaven did not take responsibility, and Feng Fengshi was even made a marquis because of this, and worshiped in the Qilin Pavilion, ranking as one of the eleven meritorious heroes.

As for Fu Jiezi's beheading of King Loulan, everyone knows about it.

This is a feat of predecessors, enough to become a model for future generations.

The above are all the stories of Zhang Fang's recent evil in the Western Regions, I didn't expect to be able to use them so soon. Hearing this, Mo said Chen Tang, and even Gan Yanshou's eyes lit up.

Gan Yanshou was short of breath, his fists were clenched, he gritted his teeth, he struggled in his heart, he still shook his head for a long time, and his tone was difficult: "At this time, at that time, the current situation is very different from that year." act rashly, only afraid of unpredictable consequences......"

"If Gan Jun is really worried...... Zhang Fang held his chin and thought about it, and clapped his hands, "It's better to do this, Gan Jun retreats and Chen Jun takes over." In this way, if the court blames it in the future, there will be at least one excuse, so that both of them will not be unlucky, and there will be room for manoeuvre. ”

Gan and Chen glanced at each other, which is indeed a solution, but for what reason?

At this time, a cold wind blew through the cracks in the curtain, and Gan Yanshou had just come back from riding a horse, sweating a little and shivering.

Zhang Fang's eyes lit up and pointed at him: "You are sick." ”

Gan Yanshou's eyes widened, inexplicable: "I'm not sick......"

"No, you're sick!" Zhang Fang said in an accentuated tone.

Chen Tang's eyes also lit up: "Yes, Jun, you are sick, and you are very serious." ”

Gan Yanshou opened his mouth wide, pointed at Zhang Fang, and then pointed at Chen Tang, speechless for a while.

Zhang Fang smiled and stretched his sleeves and arms, stretched out his palms to the two of them, and said in a slightly hoarse and magnetic voice, low and slow, word by word: "Fu Jiezi Thorn Loulan, Chang Huiding Qiuzi, Feng Fengshi Pingsha Che, now plus you Chen Zigong, you Gan Jun, together with the Huns, will be a swan song for the ages!" ”
