For Ma Lan, the Anshi Rebellion a few years later was not the most terrifying. Anyway, the Central Plains are fighting back and forth, and sooner or later they are all Han territory. Even if it was a devastation for the people, it was restored after decades or even hundreds of years.
What he cared about most was the land in the river. When the integration of the Black Clothes Food Country is completed, it will inevitably turn its attention back to the river. If all the Sogdians in the river converted to Huda, and even affected the Western Turkic tribes in the steppe, it would be too late. How troublesome this kind of place is in the future life, Ma Lu knows very well in his heart.
Therefore, he is not scaring Feng Changqing, if he can't dominate Anxi, he will not have the power to prevent the Anshi Rebellion from breaking out, the seeds planted in the land in the river will not be able to grow, and everything will have no meaning. In this case, it is also a good choice to rely on this brute-like body to be a ranger. Either the main side Anxi, or give up all of them, there is no way to compromise.
He is betting on Gao Xianzhi's status in Feng Changqing's heart, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, love and righteousness still have a great binding force on people. Feng Changqing and Gao Xianzhi in history were also cut off by Bian Lingcheng in the end, and Ma Ling did not believe that Feng Changqing would risk the disgrace of General Gao.
"It seems that Renjie is determined to be the Lord Anxi."
"Ma Luan is absolutely selfless in what he does, and his bare heart can show the sun and the moon! There are some things that cannot be said to the doctor, and the doctor will slowly understand it later. ”
"Hehe, what a selfless person!" Feng Changqing shook his head, and seemed to be ten years old for a moment, "Since Renjie said so, the old man agreed!" ”
"The old man promised you, as long as you don't go to Chang'an without permission, as long as this recital is written by the old man, the old man can promise you that he will never be an envoy of the Anxi Festival! Renjie, now you are satisfied! ”
"Since the doctor has agreed, there is no basis for his words, let's make a note!" Ma Lan smiled.
Feng Changqing's face sank: "Such a private matter, where can I make a document?" Why did Renjie wait for the old man to wait for him, but he couldn't trust the old man like this? ”
"The doctor doesn't write a note, Ma Lan will go to Beijing to face the saint by himself at this moment and sue the senior general for the crime of bullying the king!" Ma Lan said indifferently.
"You!"
Feng Changqing was angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" Good! Good! Renjie, since you want the old man to make a note, the old man can promise you, but you also have to make a note, and you will never regret it in the future. Since you regard the old man as a villain, you are not a gentleman, if you want to write, the old man will write! ”
"Let's write a piece!" Ma Lan smiled.
The town guard made the yamen have a good pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Ma Ling quickly wrote two notes and let Feng Changqing look at them. Feng Changqing also wrote his guarantee on the note, and then the two signed their own signatures.
Two notes, one for each person. Putting the note in his arms, the two glanced at each other and smiled with relief.
The tired look on Feng Changqing's face was swept away, and he said with a smile: "Renjie, there is something that the old man forgot to tell you. ”
"What's the matter, doctor, please." Ma Luan's mood at the moment is also unusually good.
Feng Changqing said with a smile: "How can the land of the four battles in Anxi be ownerless for a long time? Although General Gao recommended the old man to take over as the envoy of Jiedu, he was blocked by the important ministers of the court. It's no wonder that no one else, after all, we lost the battle, and there is nothing to say. The old man got a secret report that it was Wang Zhengjian, the envoy of the Beiting Festival, who took over as the tall general, and the will was about to arrive in Tingzhou. It won't be long before General Wang arrives in Anxi. Renjie, I'm afraid your thoughts have been in vain. ”
Ma Lan's face changed slightly.
"Renjie can be a ranger, the most important promise, not to mention that there is a note in the old man's hand, I don't think I will regret it! The old man is going to write a report for Renjie, Renjie, don't send it, don't send it, haha! ”
Seeing Feng Changqing about to go out with a smug face, Ma Lan smiled behind him and said: "Doctor, don't forget that you promised never to be the envoy of the Anxi Festival, remember, forever!" ”
Feng Changqing paused, but when he walked forward, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell to the ground. Ma Lu took two steps forward and supported him with a smile.
Feng Changqing snorted, waved his hand to shake off Ma Lan, and staggered out of the second hall.
This is also a man of great ambition, and it would be false to say that he did not want to be modest. But for the sake of his benefactor Gao Xianzhi, he could only reluctantly agree to Ma Lan's conditions.
As for Wang Zhengjian, he is a veteran of the Beiting faction, and it is also a reasonable arrangement for Anxi to become the master of Anxi after the defeat of the Anxi army. However, according to the original historical trend, he will die of illness in office this year.
Obviously, Wang Zhengjian has a hidden disease, and no one can do anything in this era. Wang Zhengjian will definitely come, and he will definitely die of illness. After he died of illness, it was Feng Changqing who took over as the envoy of the festival. And now, Feng Changqing was forced to agree to Ma Lan's unreasonable conditions.
Each other gave a step, and Ma Lan obviously got more. He directly sent people to Chang'an to report the victory, not to kill General Gao and Feng Changqing, but just to avoid those veterans in Anxi from sharing their merits. And the purpose of monopolizing the credit is, in the final analysis, only for the sake of the main side Anthy. Although the credit will definitely be cut now, but with the promise of Feng Changqing, the possibility of the main side of Anxi has greatly increased. As long as Feng Changqing does not take over as the envoy of Jiedu, with the merits of this time, looking at the generals of Anxi, almost no one has the possibility of becoming a dark horse.
That dossier Ma Lan carefully hid in his arms, what he did back then was extremely secret, and he didn't know how Feng Changqing knew this. Since Feng Changqing put the file here and didn't want to go back, those who knew it should be unlucky. For Ma Lan, there must not be a second time when such a threat is made.
"Big brother!"
Ma Yong and Ma Qiang walked in, both with blue noses and swollen faces, and their faces were ashamed. It seems that Feng Changqing's subordinates are not light, and their strength is also good, these two brothers are both good hands, and they are also controlled by the other party in an instant.
Feng Changqing is known for his ruthlessness in the Anxi Army, and it is good that he didn't break his muscles and bones this time. Ma Lan looked at the two clan brothers and smiled, comforted them casually, and then motioned for the two to leave.
When he walked out of the second hall, he found that Feng Changqing's personnel had all been withdrawn, and the guards he brought with him were all dusty and gray-faced, and they had suffered a lot of losses.
Feng Changqing has a very high status in Anxi, so such a thing naturally cannot be investigated. What's more, Ma Lan is in a very good mood now, and he doesn't plan to pursue it.
Let the two Ma Yong brothers take these people to treat their injuries, Ma Lan walked towards the wooden shed used for auction, but before he arrived, Du Huan had already brought a group of people to greet him, and the person accompanying him was Bai Xiaode. Looking at the smile on Du Huan's face, you know that this auction was extremely successful.
"Lao Bai, you're good enough to damage this time." Ma Lan looked at Bai Xiaode and said.
Bai Xiaode snorted and said with a smile: "Renjie, brother, I am really ashamed of my wealth obsession." Thanks to Dr. Feng's timely appearance, he woke me up. Helping those profiteers for a little petty profit, it's really damned! Renjie is not strange, brother, I already know that I am wrong. ”
"You've already taken it, hurry up and bring me the copper coin silk." At this time, Ma Lan didn't bother to bother with him. He is the head snake in Shule City, but like the Anxi generals, they are all afraid of Feng Changqing, fortunately Feng Changqing appeared at the right time, otherwise this auction would be a mess.
"Whatever it's worth, it's ready-made. Renjie will bring it to you right away. Bai Xiaode smiled, arched his hand and left.
"How's the catch?" Ma Lan looked at Du Huandao.
Du Huan's face was excited, and he said: "Eighteen yuan, a total of 237,000 yuan." General, these Hu merchants are really rich, a small Shule city, they have so much wealth. ”
Ma Lan smiled and said: "The Silk Road is already rich, but we are not good at management. Is it all cash? ”
Du Huan said: "The cash is only half, and they all say that they will go home to get it." My army is here, and I don't dare to pay them back. ”
"It's okay if the army isn't here, these Hu businessmen value credibility more than their lives, and no one will be able to repay them." Ma Lan smiled.
"A hundred and fifty taels of money for each of the war dead, which is enough. When the time comes, just distribute it, right? ”
Ma Lan nodded. Feng Changqing values Gao Xianzhi's fate the most, since an agreement has been reached, Feng Changqing has rejected the idea of being an envoy, so naturally he will not interfere in these things.
"Du Huan, remember. From today onwards, Anxi Jian'er will receive a pension of 150 yuan for the war dead, which will be an eternal example! ”
"Yes, General!" Du Huan said loudly.
……
Bai Xiaode soon came to deliver the wealth, and the copper coin was half and half of the silk. The merchants also drove camels and wagons and handed over the rest of their wealth.
In the land of Anxi, silk silk and copper coins can be circulated, and the proportion of various silk fabrics exchanged for copper coins is basically fixed. This is doing business with the Anxi Army, no one dares to be shoddy, the silk silk brought is not old, and the copper coins are also good.
So many silk silks and copper coins were piled up into a small mountain, and many Anxi athletes were straight-eyed. However, everyone understands that this is for the war dead, the dead are greater, and no one will rise up to the idea of greed.
One hundred and fifty yuan, the weight is about the same as that of an Anxi athlete. This kind of bereavement is the first time in the history of the Anxi Army.
And from now on, such a bereavement will be perpetuated!
Such a sentence has been spread unconsciously. Everyone in Anxi who heard the news was excited, but no one realized that Ma Lu was not the chief general of the Anxi army, and he had no right to say such things.
Li Juan and the others also came back, and when they saw Ma Luan and Li Juan were extremely ashamed, they knelt down directly and pleaded guilty.
Being caught by Feng Changqing in the land of Anxi is really nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, Ma Lan has forced Feng Changqing to write the following notes, it can be said that his wish has been fulfilled, where can he blame them.
Li Juan returned with a large number of tributes to the Son of Heaven, and the wealth of the important ministers of the court, and of course, a dozen beautiful Sogdian maidens. Although Feng Changqing is ruthless, he is by no means a greedy person, and when these things are sent back, it is naturally up to Ma Lan to deal with them himself.
Among these dozen Sogdian girls, the most outstanding is Kang Qingqing. She was already Ma Lan's woman in the eyes of everyone, and this time she went to Chang'an not to send it to the palace, but to send it to Ma Lan's private residence in Chang'an, and this time she was also intercepted by Feng Changqing and sent back together.
Seeing Ma Lan, the little girl's tears flowed down and walked quickly to Ma Lan's side.
Everyone laughed, but Ma Ling knew that this girl was pretending at all. He and her were not so intimate, and she would not be so attached to him, after all, she was not really his woman.
"I didn't like that cripple, so I poisoned him." Kang Qingqing leaned against Ma Lu with tears in his eyes and whispered. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
