Feng Changqing looked at Ma Lan's depressed appearance, and there was a hint of triumph in his eyes. After all, he is a young man, he is frizzy and frizzy, and he wants to play with himself, but he is still too far behind.

"Doctor Feng, what do you want?"

Finally waiting for this sentence, Feng Changqing smiled, pointed inside, and said, "This is not the place to talk, Renjie, let's go inside and talk in detail." ”

At this time, Ma Lan realized that his people had disappeared, and at some point, the entire town guard envoy yamen had been controlled by the soldiers brought by Feng Changqing.

By this time, intransigence is no longer an option. The laws of the Tang Dynasty are strict, and murder is a serious crime, and Ma Lan doesn't want to die as a fugitive before his ambitions are realized.

After the two of them entered the second hall of the town guard envoy Yamen and sat down, Feng Changqing looked at Ma Lan and smiled: "Renjie young hero, and he has established a great achievement, it is understandable that the old man wants to soar to the sky, but it is unkind to treat the tall general like this." After all, in the past few years, the tall general has not unsaddled his horse, and he has made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty, Renjie, you say yes? ”

"Doctor, please make a condition, but I hope it doesn't go too far. Otherwise, it's a big deal that the fish die and the net is broken! Even if Ma Lan becomes a prisoner, General Gao will inevitably be accused of losing his teacher, and the doctor has offended many people in Anxi, without the support of General Gao, I am afraid that he will not be able to gain a foothold! Ma Lan raised his head and looked at Feng Changqing and said coldly.

Feng Changqing smiled tiredly, shook his head and said, "Renjie, I'm sure you won't do this." Judging from what you did this time, Renjie is a person in Vanity Fair, how can he ruin his good future because of a momentary mood? ”

Ma Lan said: "Why is the doctor not a person in Vanity Fair? Whether the fish is dead or not depends on what conditions the doctor prescribes! ”

Feng Changqing's sharp eyes looked at Ma Lan, Ma Lan was not afraid and looked at Feng Changqing.

In the face of this famous figure in history, he was under great pressure, but the seeds in the river had been planted, and he could not give up.

After a few breaths, Feng Changqing nodded and said, "Since Renjie is not going to read the old feelings of the tall general, then the old man will also say it directly." In this defeat of Talas, the general and the generals of Anxi discussed that the loss of the Han army reported was 5,000 people, so the number of soldiers brought back by Renjie must be reduced. ”

"Doctor, the crime of deceitful is worse than the crime of murder." Ma Lan said.

"Who is Renjie as a tall general! Who is Renjie and Anxi generals! Feng Changqing's face showed a look of indignation, and he said in a deep voice, "General Gao and the generals of Anxi have made this decision, and it is definitely not out of selfishness!" ”

Ma Ling sneered and did not speak. Although it is to talk about conditions, acting is also indispensable. Now that this has been done, both sides are ready to compromise, saying and doing whatever they say is just for the best interests.

"Renjie, my four towns in Anxi are lonely in the west, surrounded by enemies on all sides, how difficult it is to transfer thousands of miles! Most of the princes in the DPRK and China are people who value literature and ignore martial arts, and every year there are people who go up to ask for the four towns! Renjie, if the princes of the DPRK and China know about the losses of our Anxi Army this time, the discussion of uprooting the four towns will inevitably rise again! Renjie has been in the army for ten years, what happened? If the Son of Heaven is shaken in his heart and really uproot the four towns, the territory opened up by my Anxi Army in a hundred years of bloody battles will be handed over to others, and Renjie's ten years of hard work will also be ruined! ”

Ma Lan nodded, which made a lot of sense.

"At that time, I didn't know that Renjie would bring so many athletes back, and I made such a decision for the sake of the four towns of Anxi. On the chapter, not only General Gao and I signed it, but also generals Li Siye, Duan Xiushi, Li Fei Yuanli, and Cheng Qianli were also listed, and there were also the participation of lieutenants in the supervising army. Renjie, if your recital really arrives in the court, you can imagine what the consequences will be! All the Anxi generals will be guilty of bullying the king! ”

"If such a thing happens, not to mention that it is very likely to trigger a motion to uproot the four towns, even if the four towns are not uprooted, Renjie's wish is fulfilled and he becomes the envoy of the Anxi Festival, is he ready to defend the territory of Anxi with his own strength? With all due respect, with Renjie's current ability, it is okay to be a town guard, without the help of these veterans, being a festival envoy is simply a disaster for the country and the people! ”

Ma Lan smiled and said, "So, General Gao and Doctor Feng are dedicated to the country, and they don't have any selfishness?" ”

Feng Changqing's face froze, and he snorted: "It can't be said that it is completely selfless, but after all, there is more public heart than dead heart." Renjie should know that Anxi relies on these veteran generals, if all these people fall, what will be the consequences! ”

Ma Lan nodded.

Feng Changqing said very reasonably, Anxi is different from other places, it is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it is extremely difficult to transport. Since Hou Junji broke Gaochang and established the Anxi Protectorate, the controversy over the existence and abolition of the four towns has never stopped for more than a hundred years. The people who hold this opinion are not all superficial people, but more so-called famous ministers, such as Yao Chong and Song Jing in the Kaiyuan period.

With the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, maintaining the four towns may be a burden, but from the long-term perspective of the Han people, the presence of the Han army in the Western Regions is necessary.

Either the Han people occupy the majority, or the locals merge into the Han cultural circle, so that it can become the land of the Han people forever and not cause problems for future generations. This is true in the river, and the same is true in the four towns of Anxi. So no matter what, the Four Towns must not be abolished.

"So, Renjie, if General Gao and the generals of Anxi are offended because of you, causing my four towns in Anxi to fail, Renjie himself is not willing."

Feng Changqing's face turned peaceful, and he said with a smile: "For the sake of my territory of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, and for the sons of the Han family who died in the west for a hundred years, Renjie must be wronged this time." General Gao and General Anxi reported the loss of 5,000 Han soldiers, but you brought back nearly 7,000 people this time, and if this number is not reduced, there will inevitably be mistakes. ”

Ma Ling was silent for a moment and said, "What the doctor said is a bit alarmist! Many important ministers in the DPRK advocate the uprooting of the four towns, but whether to uproot the four towns, others say it doesn't count, only the Son of Heaven has the final say! Now that I have brought back thousands of elites, and the strength of the Anxi Han army has recovered, at this time, do you think the Son of Heaven will listen to the words of those courtiers and uproot my four towns in Anxi? ”

"My Anxi army is like a cloud, even if you are all offended, there are younger generations who can come up. Don't hide it from the doctor, this time Ma Ling took thousands of Han family sons and daughters across the river, and found many young pillars, as long as they practiced for a little longer, they might not lose to those veterans. ”

"In this way, Renjie is not ready to agree, and he has to put me to death? If the fish dies and the net is broken, Renjie himself can only die in desperation, does it have to be like this? Feng Changqing's face sank.

Ma Lan smiled faintly: "Doctor, since I am willing to sit down with you to negotiate, I am ready to make concessions." But I gave in, and the doctor must also give in, otherwise, Ma Lu would rather sit on the identity of a murderer prisoner, and pull your benefactor, General Gao, off the horse. ”

Feng Changqing's face softened slightly, and he frowned: "Renjie, you have been in Anxi for ten years, and General Gao has never treated you badly, why do you have such a grudge against General Gao?" ”

"Since General Gao escaped by himself on a rainy night, there is no general in Ma Lan's heart." Ma Lan smiled indifferently.

Feng Changqing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "General Gao also told me about the events of the day. It was not his intention to abandon the army and flee. - Stop! Cease! Cease! Renjie was trapped in an enemy country, and he had to get out of it after going through hardships and dangers, and it was common for him to have some grievances. ”

Ma Xuan said: "Doctor, let's talk directly, how many people should I bring back?" ”

In fact, he has no resentment towards Gao Xianzhi, from the perspective of his thousands of years later, Gao Xianzhi, as a Goguryeo person, can do this for the Tang Dynasty, and he is already worthy of everyone. As for Gao Xianzhi's escape at that time, it was also a helpless move after the defeat was decided.

Now biting Gao Xianzhi and not letting go, the purpose is just to make Feng Changqing give in. It's all about performance, and it's all about getting the most out of it.

Gao Xianzhi had already left Anxi, and Feng Changqing was the biggest obstacle to his main Anxi plan. For Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi is as kind to him as a mountain, and he has the grace of knowing him, with Feng Changqing's personality, even if Gao Xianzhi pulls him to rebel, he will not hesitate.

Gao Xianzhi is Feng Changqing's weakness, which Ma Lan knows very well. There are many obstacles to ascend to the sky in Anxi, but as long as you cross the obstacle of Feng Changqing, everything else is not a problem.

"Renjie, the old man has still underestimated you a little over the years."

Feng Changqing shook his head with a wry smile, and said slowly: "Three thousand!" The Anxi athletes you brought back can only be 3,000, no more! Renjie, if you are willing to agree, the old man can guarantee that no one in Chang'an City will remember that you once killed someone. It is also a great achievement to bring back the three thousand sons from the mortal place, and your future is still bright! If you agree, the generals will be grateful to you. ”

"Yes." Ma Lan said bluntly.

Feng Changqing was stunned, as if he didn't expect Ma Lan to be so happy, he groaned for a while, and continued: "In return, you can keep more of the wealth you brought back this time." Three thousand people, counting one person and two horses, and the remaining horses and camels, Renjie can dispose of them by himself. The old man knows that Renjie has always been used to luxury, and these riches are enough for Renjie to live a good life. ”

Ma Ling smiled: "Doctor, these are the ones I brought back with everyone desperately, and it's not the doctor's turn to deal with them!" It's all trivial, and I can promise you about the reduction of the number of people, but I've already said it, and I'm also conditional. ”

"Say it! As long as it's not too excessive, the old man can promise you. Feng Changqing smiled tiredly.

Ma Lan took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have only one condition. As long as the doctor promised Ma Lan that he would never be an envoy of the Anxi Festival, Ma Lan promised to cooperate with the doctor to reduce the number of Anxi athletes brought back, and eliminate a catastrophe for General Gao. ”

Feng Changqing looked at Ma Lan, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "Renjie, what if the old man doesn't agree?" ”

"The charge of the tall general bullying the king is about to be confirmed. And all of this is caused by you, doctor. At most, Ma Lan is wandering the rivers and lakes and becoming a ranger again, it's not a big deal. Ma Lan said with an indifferent face.
