Chapter 327: Who Can Replace Him? 】
The arrival of the combined forces of Kangju and Dayue led by Zhang Fangsuo completely reversed the chaos in Wusun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThis is not only the injection of a strong new force, but also the strong appearance of an envoy of a suzerainty with a resounding name and a great name for righteousness. With both prestige and strength, Ri Er finally relented.
In the middle of October, Riji did two things, one was to let go of the encirclement and let the Great Kunya and his guards enter Akaya Castle; The second is to send an envoy to the mouth of the Kunzadong Valley and invite the Han envoy to come and negotiate. In order to show his sincerity, Riji also invited Akatani Castle to send someone to accompany him.
Chigu City really sent someone, and when Ri Er saw that person, the corner of his eyes twitched--the Great Han Weiwei Temple Brigade Order, Gongsun Fu.
Gongsun Fu also brought a few guards, which was normal, and the Wusun people didn't care too much. If they pay more attention, it is not difficult to see that there is a woman mixed in with it.
Qingyan.
Qingyan is already neutral, and with a little disguise, it is not difficult to hide from the eyes of the Wusun people. In fact, it doesn't matter if she goes in the open, she just doesn't want to be noticed.
When the cold wind rose, the garrison met with Wuri, the envoy of Ri Er, in Zhang Fang in the Kunza Valley. Wu Ri expressed his respect and sincerity, and invited the Han envoy to go outside Chigu Castle to participate in a mediation meeting composed of Ri Er, Da Le, Qiuzi, Shache, Dawan, and the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate.
After Zhang Fang heard this, he didn't immediately express his position, but only let Wu Ri go down to rest, and then summoned Gongsun Fu and Qingyan.
After many years, Qingyan, who has always been indifferent, couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she saw Zhang Fang's smile, and she knelt down on her knees with an arrow step, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Sit down, don't let Zhen Shuo laugh." Zhang Fang pressed his palm on Qingyan's shoulder and said lightly. On his fingers, Zhang Fang has been on the side for many years, but his appearance is the same as last year, there is no change, if you have to say that there is a change, that is, his eyes are sharper, his skin is a little darker, that's all.
Gongsun hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Don't dare." ”
After Gongsun Fu and Qingyan sat down on the left and right, they realized that Zhang Fang's sitting posture was obviously different from them.
Of course, Zhang Fang's sitting posture is different, he sits on a soft chair. The Han Dynasty was all kneeling and sitting, and Zhang could only follow the crowd when he was in Chang'an, but when he came to the outer border, of course, there was no need to embarrass himself, how comfortable he was. Therefore, Zhang Fang vigorously promoted the chair, and the Hu people easily accepted this, and the earliest chair in history was derived from the Hu bed. Zhang Fang has even developed a series of products, including beds, chairs, tables, stools, and more. At present, the furniture shop in Star City is basically monopolized by the Zhang family.
When Zhang Fang met with Hu Shang in Xingcheng, they all sat in chairs to talk, but Gongsun Fu was an official of the imperial court after all, and Zhang Fang did not let him develop this "bad" habit, so as not to be uncomfortable when he returned to Chang'an in the future. So the two of them were provided with soft cushions, and they sat on soft chairs.
Qingyan had already seen Gongzi sitting on all kinds of strange chairs in the mansion, and he didn't feel strange at all, while Gongsun Fu was a prince and a prince, expressing his understanding. It's just that he didn't expect that people were not "vulgar", but leading the new trend of Hudi......
After Zhang Fang waited for the two to sit down, he confessed in the first sentence: "I can't participate in this coordination meeting, unless Ri Er is willing to move the meeting venue here." ”
Gongsun Fu was stunned for a moment, but he was worthy of being an officer who was accustomed to leading soldiers and horses, and immediately thought of the joint, and blurted out: "What does the prince mean that he must sit in the Chinese army?" ”
Zhang Fang nodded appreciatively: "Exactly." The alliance of Kangju and the Great Moon Clan was made by me. The Otsuki clan and the Kangju people and the Wusun people all have disagreements, and once I leave, I am afraid that the biggest force that threatens Rier will only have unforeseen things. So, I couldn't go. ”
Gongsun Fu nodded silently. He was from a military background, and he knew it best. Zhang Fang was actually an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and perhaps some interests of Star City, to promote the alliance between the two countries. Zhang Fang himself has no foundation in this coalition army, and he can't command any of them, to put it bluntly, people are here for his name and face. Once you leave, no one dares to guarantee that something will go wrong.
"There is also an army in Star Picking City, but there are not many people, and the Han people are even less, so it is useless to bring them in, so it is better to defend the city." Zhang Fang stared at Gongsun Fu, "When the next few batches of Hermes-Epitek arrive, I will form a team of light and heavy armored cavalry, and there is no upper limit on the number of soldiers." If you recruit enough 500, you will build a song, if you recruit enough 1,000, you will build a song, if you recruit enough 10,000, you will build an army! Zhenshuo, you are here to be this military commander, captain, or even general...... How is it? ”
This is ...... Hey, I was caught off guard.
Gongsun was stunned for a while, his heart pounded, and the officer who didn't want to be a general almost didn't exist. It's just, too suddenly. Gongsun opened his mouth for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
"Don't rush to reply, think slowly, think hard, there is still more time." After Zhang Fang threw out a big bait, he left it for Gongsun Fu to digest slowly, and after a while, he asked, "Hasn't Yichenghou arrived for so long?" ”
Gongsun replied: "The report from the Duhu Mansion said that the Marquis of Yicheng had arrived in Dunhuang four months ago, but because of the Wusun incident, he had to stay in Yumen and wait for the imperial edict. As a result, it was not until August that the Wusun Siege Protectorate took place, and it was impossible to move forward. After September, according to Wusun's situation, the imperial court issued another edict, ordering the Marquis of Yicheng to go to mediation. It is said that the envoys have passed Shanshan and will be able to reach the capital at the beginning of next month......"
"It's too late!" Zhang Fang shook his head again and again.
Gongsun Fu and Qingyan also thought so. It's not that all parties in the meeting can't afford to wait, the envoy of the suzerain, no matter how late it is, you have to wait, right? It's that people can afford to wait, but God can't afford to wait. According to the itinerary of the envoys, they arrived at Wulei City in early November. After resting and preparing, it will be at least until the end of November, and the next nearly 2,000 miles will not be able to walk at all in the cold season of December.
Zhang Fang, Gongsun Fu, and Qingyan are all "people who have come over", and they know the season of the Western Regions best, and the envoy group of Gan Yanshou will not be able to arrive this year. Can this coordination meeting be postponed until next year? No way. This is a key event that is vacillating between war and peace, and it cannot be delayed for a moment, how can it be delayed until next year?!
The two Han envoys, Zhang can't let go, and Gan Yanshou can't arrive, so what should I do?
Zhang Fang knocked on the case and said, "In this case, let one person perform the duties of an envoy on my behalf." Zhang Fang said as he put the festival on the table, the six-foot colorful scepter and the eight-inch red tail looked so eye-catching.
There has always been a precedent for the deputy envoy or the attendant to carry the scepter of the festival on behalf of the deputy. Gongsun Fu and Qingyan are not surprised, and in the current situation, I am afraid that it can only be like this. The question is, who should be allowed to carry out the office of the festival? It's too difficult to choose.
First of all, the person must be Han Chinese, and he must have a considerable status, then preferably in or near Akatani Castle, and finally, the person must be trustworthy enough - such a person is too difficult to find, or rather, there are almost none.
Gongsun Fu and Qingyan's eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and they couldn't think of anyone who was eligible.
"Can't you think of the right person? Then I'll mention one. He opened the corner of his mouth and smiled, stroked his scepter, and leisurely spit out a name, "Mrs. Zhaojun, how is it?" (To be continued.) )
