Thank you for the reward from Zhang Genshuo's book friends, your name reminds me of Yang Juzhou in Wang Meng's novel, haha

……

"When Ge Shuhan sent the gift, the news of our black-clothed thief had obviously reached Longyou, and after such a long time, the news must have already reached Chang'an. There is no one to hide such a big event. ”

In the end, the princes of the court and China adopted the method of secret decree, rather than announcing it to the world, which must have been the result of some controversy. No matter what, Renjie, you still have to be careful in the future, don't let people catch the handle. The old man watched you make a big splash in Anxi, and he didn't want your ambition to come to naught. ”

It's October again, and it's been more than a year since the Battle of Talas. It has been a year since it was launched in the city of Sa Mo. Before I knew it, it had been so long since I came to this world.

Ma Lan stood alone on the bank of the Sihun River, looking at the rushing and roaring water in front of him, thinking about Feng Changqing's last words, and still had some bad feelings in his heart.

Handle? What do you have? I have done so many things for more than a year, which one is selfish?

A few casual words from a lieutenant can turn black and white upside down, and the great achievement of killing 20,000 enemies who invaded Anxi has become a great achievement!

Killing good and risking merit, just kidding, 20,000 black-clothed thieves came to rob the village at night, do you want to open the door of the village to welcome them?

At this time, Ma Lan naturally understood that he had not really deceived Bian Lingcheng. Although this lieutenant was deceived at the time, he still figured out why the Geshu tribe suddenly appeared.

However, even so, the battle in the north of Shule City was still a great success. In the end, he received such a will, and Ma Lan was still a little unacceptable.

The four words "vicious and ruthless" are clearly written in the book, this is the evaluation of the princes of the court on themselves!

Guanzhong man Ma Lan is almost thirty years old, and in his previous life, he was just a young man in his early twenties, and he was not used to bearing such grievances. is obviously dedicated to Datang, without the slightest selfishness, why should he be treated like this!

"Renjie, don't think about it so much. This is a common thing in Anthy, and it is good to get used to it. ”

Ma Lan looked back and saw that it was the veteran Li Siye. His grange is between the old and new granges of the Ma family, just near the left. Li Siye's second son came back from the river with Ma Luan, and now he is also a captain in the Anxi New Army. Because of this son, Li Siye and Ma Lan are very close. Li Siye has always been valued by Feng Changqing, so Feng Changqing will tell him about it.

Li Siye threw a pot of grape wine, Ma Lu took it and took a sullen sip.

Li Siye and Duan Xiushi saved thousands of remnants of the army and retreated to Anxi after the defeat of Talas, but no one mentioned such a great achievement, let alone knighthood, but Li Siye never said anything. Just by this measure, Ma Lan is ashamed of himself.

Li Siye urged the war horse to come over, also took a sip of cold grape wine, and said with a smile: "This place in Anxi is too far away from Chang'an, what is merit and what is fault, it is those adults who have the final say." This time, the secret decree was characterized as a good invitation to kill, but it only reprimanded you, which is already good. In my opinion, although Bian Lingcheng is favored by the Son of Heaven, he can't deceive everyone. Therefore, there will be this secret decree, which must be the result of Li Xiang and Yang Guozhong's fighting method. ”

Ma Lan glanced at Li Siye unexpectedly, but he didn't expect him to have such knowledge.

"Li Yang fights the law...... Brother Heiye means that Li Xiang deliberately suppressed my credit, and Yang Guozhong couldn't help me? ”

Li Siye shook his head and said with a smile: "Renjie, although you are Yang Guozhong's fast son-in-law, it may not be Yang Guozhong who will help you." Li Yang Doufa in the DPRK, as far as the secret purpose of this time is concerned, it is more likely that Yang Guozhong suppressed your military exploits, and Li Xiang helped you. ”

Ma Ling frowned and said, "Why did Brother Heiye say this? Now to outsiders, Yang and I are in the same boat. ”

Li Siye said with a smile: "It's very simple, because this time Bian Lingcheng was promoted." Bian Lingcheng's promotion to the general of the prison gate must have been the result of standing on the side of the victorious side of this fight. ”

"Li Xiang is kind on the outside and grim on the inside, he has always regarded himself very highly, and he absolutely looks down on Zhongguan like Bian Lingcheng. This time, Bian Lingcheng gained power because of this matter, and he must be one of the party attached to Li Yang. Li Xiang doesn't look down on him, and the only person who is willing to be attached to Bian Lingcheng's party can only be Yang Guozhong. Bian Lingcheng was promoted, which means that this time Yang Guozhong had the upper hand. That being the case, isn't it clear who prefers you and who oppresses you? ”

Ma Lan nodded, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "When I was in Chang'an, I had never heard of such a person as Yang Guozhong!" Now that he has been in Anxi for ten years, Yang Guozhong has been able to compete with Li Xiang. Our achievements in the bloody battle on the battlefield are actually inferior to Yang Guozhong, a man who slaps horses and shoots horses! ”

"The world is like this, what can be done?" Li Siye said with a smile, "Unless the world is in chaos, you and I will be able to use our martial arts." If Chengping is peaceful today, the four razors are not enough to suffer, and the princes in the court are afraid that we will sit big, so they will naturally be stingy with the credit of the title. It is difficult to get approval for rewards, but it is easier to support punishments. can get a result without merit and fault, Li Xiang is already worthy of us. ”

After taking another sip of grape wine, Li Siye sighed comfortably and continued: "Ten years ago, Yang Guozhong was still an unknown person. Ten years later, it took advantage of the situation to soar to such a point! I heard the doctor say that according to the news from Chang'an City, Li Yang fought the law this year, and the Yang family actually won more and lost less! Li Xiang's body is deteriorating again, and he can't compete with Yang Guozhong anymore. Looking at this, there will be great changes in the court within a year, and Yang Guozhong is likely to be the next Li Xiang. This person is in power, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for me Anxi. ”

"What does Brother Siye think?" Ma Lan asked.

Li Siye said with a smile: "I have been in Anxi for a long time, and I have never seen this person. I heard the doctor say that this person is a little smart, but he is not a prime minister. Li Xiang has been in charge of the court for decades, and his skills are extremely strict, although the princes of the court and the central government are not all corpse vegetarians, but they have no responsibility, and no one can compete with Yang Guozhong. If this person is a person, I am afraid that it will be a disaster. ”

Ma Ling thought about the original history for a while, and couldn't help but admire Li Siye a little more. The fact that this famous Modao general can say these words shows that he has always been hiding clumsy before.

"Renjie, I only dare to say these words in Anxi. If I saw Yang Guozhong in Chang'an, I would definitely greet him with a smile. You're not upset that I slandered your father-in-law like this! ”

"Brother Siye is willing to be so heartfelt, I am too late to be grateful, how can I not be happy. You also know that I will only marry Gao Qianqian, Yang Guozhong is my father-in-law! Brother Heiye, if Yang Guozhong is really on the throne, how can he avoid him from causing trouble to the Tang Dynasty? ”

"There's no way around it, unless he's dead." Li Siye smiled and said, "Yang Guozhong has no talent, but he thinks he has the talent of heaven and earth." Once such a person ascends to the throne, the consequences are afraid to be very serious. Only those who die can avoid disaster, but now that Yang Guozhong is in the prime of life, it seems that the disaster of my Tang Dynasty has just come. ”

"If Yang Guozhong is on the throne, how should my Anxi Army deal with itself?" Ma Lan asked again.

"Without him, just wait for change." Li Siye said with a smile, "No matter what, my generation can't watch Anxi's century-old foundation be ruined." No matter what happens in Chang'an or the Central Plains, we can't mess with ourselves. Guarding the territory of Anxi cannot rely on those people in Chang'an, but only on ourselves. ”

After speaking, Li Siye drank the remaining grapes in the pot, and laughed: "Renjie doesn't have to think so much, brother, I have already said that you saved my child, and I will sell you this blood." No matter what you do in the future, remember to call my brother and me to take the lead. ”

After speaking, Li Siye threw the wine jug, laughed and beat the horse away.

Ma Luan's heart warmed slightly, knowing that what the veteran said was sincere.

Now that Wang Zhengjian has passed away, Ma Lan is about to become the new protector of Anxi, and Li Siye reveals his city government at this time, and naturally has the intention of showing goodwill to himself in advance as the new protector. But it doesn't matter, who is not like this in Vanity Fair, this does not affect the battlefield, and you can rest assured that you can give your back to this veteran.

It is already October of the eleventh year of Tianbao, calculate the time, in more than a month, the minister of power Li Linfu will die, and Yang Guozhong will officially take the throne. Therefore, the future of the prosperous Tang Dynasty will be cast a deep shadow.

The Son of Heaven was once a saint, but after all, he was already old. When people get old, they are easy to get confused, and no matter how great a person is, he is no exception.

This is Anxi, not Chang'an. What happened in Chang'an City, he couldn't change. He didn't want to touch the muddy pond in Chang'an City.

But no matter what, the Central Plains must not be chaotic, and in case of chaos, it must be pacified immediately. Otherwise, the Anxi army will become a lone army, a source of water, and will be trapped in the Hu land, no matter how strong the combat strength is, it will not last. Originally, the fate of the Anxi Army in history has clearly proved this.

Therefore, in case of something happening in the Central Plains, it is absolutely not advisable for Li Siye to wait for changes when he says. If An Lushan is really reversed, the only one who can rely on is the elite of the Anxi Han Army in his hands.

"It's a pity that Li Linfu died too early." Ma Lan sighed in his heart.

No matter what Li Linfu is, at least he can calm the scene, and with him alive, An Lushan definitely has no courage to rebel.

If Li Linfu can live a few more years, he can calmly prepare in Anxi. The establishment of a truly professional Anxi new army is enough to deter anyone with ambitions.

However, his travel seems to have a limited impact on this world, limited to where he can influence. Wang Zhengjian's death can't affect him, and in Chang'an, which is even more farther away, Li Linfu's death will come soon, and I am afraid that it will not be able to change.

Compared with these major events, compared to these things that affect the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty, my own complaints are really nothing. Even if it is a great credit to himself, if the Central Plains falls into chaos, everything will not come to naught.

Thinking of this, Ma Lan was relieved. Now that Li Linfu's fate is doomed, there is still so much time left for himself. Before the Central Plains becomes chaotic, the Anxi army must be strong enough.

Also drank the grapes in the pot, Ma Lan learned from Li Siye to throw the wine pot into the Sihun River, and then rode back to the grange quickly.
