Chapter 463: Parting
"It is also a good deed to save the Silla people from a sword disaster with the power of one person, but the disaster leads to the east, and the Japanese people in the sea of Lelang are going to be unlucky!"
In the Governor's Mansion of the Governor of Moxi, Ma Lan tapped his fingers on the information on the table, and muttered: "Buddhism has no borders, but monks have their own motherland......"
"General, what did you say?" The tall Xinghu woman in front of her frowned and asked.
"Hehe, nothing."
Ma Lan smiled, he thought of Kongjian from Huichao, Kongjian provoked the Qiang people to fight each other on the Qiangtang for the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, and Huichao led the soldiers to Fusang in order to avoid the catastrophe of Silla, these two monks are both capable and the same kind of people.
Michelle obviously didn't understand what he meant, but she didn't ask again.
The small black letters were written on the white Chengxintang paper, and Ma Lan squinted and glanced at the information again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Li Jing traveled far away to Fusang and brought over 100,000 troops, and the Tang Dynasty completely controlled the land of Liaodong and the entire Silla in his hands, which was excellent news for Ma Lan.
The side of the couch will not allow others to snore, and the Bohai Sea and Silla should have been extinguished a long time ago.
Speaking of which, Li Jing has also made great contributions, but it is a pity that he is the descendant of Prince Zhang Huai......
The Han family did not fight on their own, which is undoubtedly the best thing. Li Jing's Pinglu soldiers and horses are the same as Guo Ziyi and Li Siye's subordinates, and they can be regarded as his subordinates, after all, he is the envoy of Fanyang, Pinglu, and Hedong Towns, and it is not a good thing to kill each other after all. Now that there is no major fire, Ma Lu is naturally extremely happy.
As for the life or death of the Silla people, Ma Lan didn't care. It doesn't matter if you die or not. He would not feel sorry for the mass death of the Silla people. And now you don't have to die. There was nothing to regret, he didn't care about their fate at all.
However, Silla has been immersed in Han culture for a long time, and the Silla people, like the remnants of Goguryeo, can be educated, and now that Silla has knelt in the Tang Dynasty, the Silla people will soon be able to integrate into the Central Plains cultural system. "The Korean Peninsula has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times," this sentence seems to be in view now. It's not just talking.
Li Jing went to plague the Japanese people, and he made the most correct choice.
In fact, this matter is also in Ma Lan's plan, and the most important thing around Datang is naturally the Japanese people in the sea of Lelang. It's a pity that the distance is too far, otherwise I would have to help the field. Creatures like Japanese people should not exist in this world.
Seeing that Ma Xuan was in thought, the beautiful Xinghu woman was silent, standing there quietly waiting.
Michelle has been back to Anxi for a while since Chang'an, and after arriving in Anxi, she also went to the surrendered city. Then he returned with Ma Lan.
This time, the army is ready to sweep through the Great Eclipse, and the role of Anthy agents is still indispensable. As the big leader of Anxi's secret agents, Mi Xue's focus is naturally to shift to the west of Green Mountain. On the Chang'an side, a stronghold was also set up, leaving Eagle Slave and some secret agents, which was no longer the focus of Mi Xue's attention.
Ma Xuan vowed never to enter Chang'an again, because Mi Xue was his absolute confidant, so this matter had been revealed to Mi Xue. When the Xinghu woman heard this, she understood that it was impossible for Ma Lan to be the emperor, so this idea was completely dispelled, and she deployed all the manpower and material resources to the west of the city, and no longer considered helping Ma Lan become the emperor.
After a long time, Ma Lan took the information into his arms and turned his head to look at Michelle.
This beautiful Xinghu woman is as beautiful as ever, but there is an unconcealable tiredness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Pride and stubbornness are still written on his face, and he is about to leave again, and a trace of reluctance can be seen in his eyes.
Her pride, he actually understood.
The experience made her extremely sensitive and very afraid of being hurt, and her pride was her armor, the shell of her from being hurt.
This shell will probably never be able to be put down.
"To be honest, you've worked too hard in the past few years."
Ma Ling looked at Mi Xue and said gently: "Actually, there are some things, you can also let go of Zhao Yang and them, when it's time to rest, you still have to rest more." - I'm afraid we will have to support it for a few more years, and in a few years, we won't have to be so busy. ”
The Xinghu woman looked at him deeply: "Are you concerned about me?" ”
"Huh?"
Ma Lan was slightly stunned, she didn't speak in such a tone for a while. For more than a year, she has basically called him a general as a subordinate.
And at the beginning, she was actually like this, and it didn't take long to change her name to General General.
Without waiting for Ma Lan to answer, Michelle had already lowered her head slightly.
"General...... Now there are some things that I can't let go of and give to others. This time I went to the big food ...... I have no problem in communication, but Zhao Yang is not good - I don't want to mention this name, he only wants to mention me when he sees me - so it is more reassuring for me to prepare in person. ”
The Xinghu woman returned to the appearance of her subordinates, her tone was extremely calm, and there was a trace of turmoil in her eyes when she mentioned Zhao Yang, but she was just bored.
Ma Lan also knew that Zhao Yang liked her, and obviously Zhao Yang was not in Mi Xue's eyes.
Ma Lan himself has no intention of matching the two, Zhao Yang is too young, he is enthusiastic at this time, and he doesn't seem to care about Mi Xue's past, but if they really come together, they may not be able to live well. There are a lot of people who know about Mi Xue's past affairs, and Zhao Yang is also an insider, if the two really come together, those things may come out one day and stab the two of them together.
In Ma Lan's opinion, Zhao Yang is definitely not a good match for Mi Xue, of course, if the two come together by themselves, Ma Lan will naturally not interfere. These are all private matters, and as a person from later generations, he naturally has no problem asking about other people's private affairs.
Michelle came this time, and she was supposed to resign.
At this point, it's really a resignation.
The two of them spoke a few more words, and then they both fell silent. There really wasn't much to say other than specific matters.
Maybe this woman was waiting for him to find some topic, Ma Lu was not sure, but he didn't know what to say. A word of retention is enough. She's going to leave after all. It is impossible to change any more.
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while. However, it didn't last long, the Xinghu woman silently bowed to Ma Luan, and then walked out of the door, still clean and neat, without dragging mud and water.
Seeing Mi Xue leaving, Ma Lan let out a sigh of relief and shook his head slightly.
I'm so proud.
Beneath the proud shell is incomparably soft. The slightest touch can cause great damage.
He knew her mind very well, and he knew her decision. He knows her reluctance and her stubbornness, and he can only respect her decision.
He didn't really care about her past, but she cared too much about herself, so it could only be so. These things cannot be touched, and if touched, they will only cause her harm.
But that was the case before, and nothing has changed. He couldn't comfort her with anything. So I had to let her go.
A large number of Anxi agents were already waiting outside, and after seeing Mi Xue come out, they got on the war horse together. In front of these subordinates. The Xinghu woman's expression had regained her rigidity, and she did not look back to look back, and then rode her horse to the outside of Qiuzi City.
She went to Dashi this time to bring a large number of Anxi agents with her, after all, the focus of Anxi agents had to be shifted to the west of Green Mountain.
The Moxi Governor's Mansion is the original Dadu Protectorate, which is still in the city of Qiuci. Nowadays, the area of the Ma family's workshop is much larger than that of Qiuzi City, but due to the increasingly serious pollution problem, it is no longer suitable for habitation, so the Governor's Palace is still located in the city.
This time, Mi Xue took Anxi's secret agent to the river, not preparing to take the road that had been opened by the Green Ridge to guard and capture - Da Long Chi - Protecting the secret - Tocharo, but preparing to go directly to Shule and cross the Green Ridge directly, and enter the loyal vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, Dongbakhana, that is, the Ferghana Basin in later generations.
This road is extremely steep, and Mi Xue also wants to take this opportunity to open up this road this time and open up a new passage for the Anxi army to come and go to the north and south of the Green Mountains. If this road can be successfully opened, there will be one more passage across the green mountain in the future.
Mi Xue did not tell Ma Lan about not taking this road at the southern foot of Green Mountain, but made her own decision.
Ma Lan trusts her very much, and all the affairs of Anxi's secret agents are entrusted to her, so it can be said that she is a hands-off shopkeeper.
After leaving Qiuzi City for a long time, Michelle pursed her lips, glanced back, then turned her head and continued to gallop forward.
Some things are simply impossible.
Rather than bring shame on yourself, it is better to bury it in your heart forever.
He should understand, but she won't tell.
Since he came back from Chang'an and went to the surrendered city to find him, he has seen him many times, and he should be content.
The horse's hooves beat against the cold ground like thunder. There was very little smoke and dust rising from the cold land, and the city gradually disappeared from view.
The beautiful Xinghu woman pursed her lips and never looked back.
……
This winter, there are also huge changes on Anxi's side.
The two schools were finally completely established, and the buildings used a lot of new materials from the Ma family's workshop, and the blue-gray buildings looked extremely cold. Literati recruited from Chang'an City arrived in Anxi in batches, and are now studying various pamphlets compiled by Ma Luan in preparation for the opening of the school.
In fact, they don't understand the things in it, but Ma Luan's requirements for them are extremely simple, and they can just read from the book. The salary of teaching in the academy is extremely high, and it is enough to keep them here.
The young people recruited from the Han people in the four towns of Anxi and the three prefectures of Qixi are also ready to enter the academy to study. They have been here for a long time, and after a winter of school building, they have already grown.
There are more and more merchants gathered in Anxi, in addition to Hu merchants, there are also many Han merchants, General Ma has no danger of rabbits and dead dogs, Moxi has become more prosperous, and the big merchants of the Central Plains have also begun to set their sights on this land.
All kinds of things produced by the Ma family's workshop were continuously transported away by them, leaving behind a lot of wealth. With an adventurous spirit, he actually began to try to cross the green mountains and stretch his business into the river. For example, the Pei family in Shuzhong has begun to participate in the bidding of the Governor's Mansion and has undertaken some tasks to transport materials.
In the winter, the development of Anxi did not stop, but seemed to be thriving.
When the Han merchants entered the western part of the city, Ma Lan was extremely willing, which was one of the goals of his efforts. Therefore, for the Han businessmen who set their sights on this land, Ma Lan also gave great preferential treatment.
Some literati did not choose to serve in the academy, but went directly to the river, preparing to make contributions there. There is no official in the school, but there is an official in the river, and these people are willing to fight for fame, so they choose like this. (To be continued......)
