In the late autumn of this year, the birthday of the Son of Heaven is celebrated all over the world. Li Longji ordered the three days of Dayu to celebrate himself, and many people sent all kinds of treasures to Chang'an on the grounds of "offering auspiciousness" to congratulate the Son of Heaven on his birthday.

Li Longji is happy and has a great amnesty for the world. Those who are released from prison for minor crimes, and those who are waiting to die for serious crimes are sent to serve in the frontier army, and the world sings praises the benevolence of the Son of Heaven.

Although the celebration was lively and the gifts received were very valuable, Ji Ge always felt a little unremarkable. Celebrating your birthday can only prove that you are one year older, and nothing else is useful!

But there is still good news, that is, the prescription offered by Xiao Jiongjin, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, well, very good and powerful!

Now Brother Ji not only drinks it himself, but also distributes the surplus medicinal herbs to the many princes in the Ten Princes' Mansion to enjoy. For a while, Shunqi Suoyang Tea became famous, and because Bai Tinghai was now the front line of the conflict between the Tang Army and Tubo, it had become a military blockade area, and ordinary people could not get close.

Therefore, this kind of health care medicine, which is not uncommon raw materials, has skyrocketed to hundreds of times the price of raw materials after flowing into Chang'an, and even to the point that there is no market!

It's just that Fang Chongyong, the initiator, did not get any visible benefits from it. Now that the production and sales channels of this medicine have been completely monopolized by the Hexi Jiedu Mansion, Xiao Jiong has no superfluous expression except for promising to expand the establishment of the Baiting Army after the war and provide sufficient "private horses".

Almost everyone involved in this matter worked in vain.

The original soldier of the Baiting Army, the part of the Baiting Fort who guarded Baiting Fort went to Ganzhou with Guo Ziyi, as the core team of Zhangye to guard and capture the expansion in the autumn defense order; According to military law, the soldiers were incorporated into the Chishui Army after being dispersed, and the officer-level personnel were removed from their posts and investigated.

Xin Yunjing escaped by luck because of "sticking" to Baitingbao, and was "promoted" to the training envoy of the Ganzhou regiment because of his military exploits, helping Guo Ziyi train his troops, which can be regarded as a bright rise and a secret surrender. And this position should have been held by a certain Chang'an from the ya.

Although the medicinal materials produced by Bai Tinghai were popular, they did not bring any benefit to the relevant personnel of the Bai Ting Army. It is difficult to say that this is not the interest of the medicinal herbs that someone has eyed and snatched from the hands of the Bai Ting Army, and bullied the small with the big.

As for Fang Chongyong, he is no longer the deputy military envoy of the Baiting Army, and he was transferred to Ganzhou to serve as the assassin, so naturally no one pays attention to what he thinks.

……

"Today, I canonize you as the Imperial History and Taichang Shaoqing. In the future, by my side, you will serve before and after the saddle, just like your loyal dog father. ”

Li Longji stuffed a roll of yellow silk books into Fang Chongyong's arms and said with a smile.

"I can't afford it, saint."

Fang Chongyong took the silk book tremblingly, bowed and saluted.

"Eh, what kind of saint is it, I took the medicine you gave, and I didn't stop shouting all night, it's beautiful. In the future, just call me Brother Ji!

Be a dog for me! ”

Li Longji pretended to be dissatisfied and patted Fang Chongyong's shoulder very cordially.

"Wouldn't that be too rude, Brother Ki?"

Fang Chongyong muttered as his right hand weakly removed someone's hand that was pinching his face. He opened his eyes in a daze, and found that Anaye's delicate little face was full of doubts, looking at him without speaking.

The crisp sunlight shone through the cracks in the tent, and it turned out to be morning.

"I've been tired all the way, and I overslept."

Fang Chongyong got up and said with a weak face, looked around, and found that only Anaye was there, and everyone else had already gone out.

"Who is Brother Kei?"

Anaye asked curiously.

The word "brother" was used in a more elegant and even casual way in the Tang Dynasty, which could represent the elder brother or the father, and it was not commonly used but could often be seen in use.

The title of "Brother Ji" has a rich connotation. Not to mention Anaye, a native girl of Liangzhou, even if Zhang Jiuling comes, I'm afraid she will have to ask.

"It's just an acquaintance, nothing special."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand disappreciatively, and the expression management was very successful, and it did not let Anaye see the flaws.

Last night, I actually dreamed that Li Longji gave him an official title, or what kind of bloody official position as "Du Yushi and Taichang Shaoqing", in fact, the Tang Dynasty did not have the official position of Du Yushi. And Taichang Shaoqing is the second-in-command of Taichang Temple, there are two, Zhanglile, suburban temple, Sheji, altar, mausoleum, four officials.

This official has no taste in front of him, he is busy like a dog, and he is like a dog when he is idle!

"The county magistrate of Shandan County is waiting outside for Lang Jun to meet, although they all said that it would be okay to meet again when they woke up, but I think it is better to call Lang Jun up."

Anaye said embarrassedly.

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly, but he was amazed by Guo Ziyi's efficiency.

The Shandan county magistrate came to visit, which means that the two sides of the "grass cutting" have passed the anger, and the county magistrate is here to express his gratitude.

This is the case with the most basic county orders in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone has a bigger official than him. Even the county orders of those remote and small counties are not officials who are talents in the imperial examination at all, but are promoted in the local area, and they are often self-recommended by talents from neighboring counties.

However, when Fang Chongyong met with the county magistrate of Shandan County, he realized the indescribable embarrassment.

Dressed in a green robe, with a gray beard, he looked like he was over fifty years old; and his "Bicycle Assassin History", who was just ten years old and didn't even have time to customize his official robe.

The status gap between people may have been determined at birth.

This county commander came here for nothing else, but simply to thank Fang Chongyong for showing compassion to the people of the state and county, and to ask what needs to be sent. When he received the answer that he did not need to be sent, the prefectural magistrate left with great gratitude.

There are also a few boxes of local souvenirs from Shandan County.

The marinated and air-dried mutton, the best sweet herbs, the local medicinal wine, etc., are not very valuable, but it can be seen that they are all carefully selected.

In such a short period of time, it is not easy for a remote and small county to prepare all these things.

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, being a petty official in the local area, he had to serve all kinds of immortals well, and if he really didn't put down his body, he would kneel and lick every official.

At this moment, he saw Guo Ziyi commanding the sergeants under his command, holding a crooked sickle and cutting grass, and he was immediately eager to try and ready to come forward to help. Anaye hurriedly pulled his cuffs and whispered:

"Lang Jun is the history of a state's assassination, this sickle is cut at both ends, and those who can't use it are easy to cut themselves. If Lang Jun is injured, it will delay the big thing! ”

Like a basin of cold water poured on his head, Fang Chongyong stopped.

"The little lady is right, Lang Jun is a thorn in history, and he has to do something in thorn history. You can't run when you need to get out. But there are many small things, and Lang Jun doesn't have to do it himself to delay time. ”

Fang Dafu's voice came from behind him, and he took Fang Laique, both of whom hung a pair of aprons on their chests to prevent the juice of the grass from splashing on their clothes.

Fang Chongyong, who wanted to put on a show, suddenly stopped talking.

"That's right! Lang Jun's strength, I'm good at it! ”

Fang Laique shouted in a big way.

Although he screamed the most, he was so tired that he lay in the haystack to bask in the sun after a while, but Anaye, who didn't say much nonsense, was busy from morning to dark.

Fang Chongyong also leaned on the grass pile, next to Fang Laique, thinking about the countermeasures after entering Ganzhou.

Guo Ziyi said that the Tubo people are coming, and they are going to cross the Qilian Mountain, how to say this.

In this era, it is a fantasy, but Fang Chongyong remembers that in the Liberation War in his previous life, the People's Liberation Army crossed the Qilian Mountains to liberate Zhangye. There is no shortage of war examples in history.

The Tubo people were quite aware of the importance of Ganzhou as the logistics node of the Tang Army, and more than ten years ago, they went to Dadou Tugu to "patronize" once.

It's just that the Tang army was in a state of stress at that time, and it immediately responded as soon as there was a stir, so the Tubo people didn't get any bargains.

Now the Tang army in the Hexi Corridor thinks that as long as the Dadou Tu Valley is guarded, the Tubo people will not be able to touch the gate of Ganzhou.

How to talk to the local soldiers and civilians in Ganzhou about the absurd fact that the Tubo people might cross the Qilian Mountain?

For a while, Fang Chongyong also had no good solution.

Defending the city is the most annoying thing, and it's not too much to be careful 10,000 times, and it will be over if you are careless once. How to attack, when to attack, all up to the enemy.

After cutting the grass in Shandan County for three days and sending most of the grass to the Shandan County Government, Guo Ziyi led the team to Zhangye City.

What everyone didn't expect was that after learning that Fang Chongyong was coming here, all the big and small officials in Zhangye City exploded!

They couldn't wait to line up outside the city for ten miles, welcoming Fang Chongyong to come and take over the rotten ... Uh, take over the military and political power in Ganzhou.

When the people in Zhangye City heard that this ten-year-old could be a assassin, Fang Yanei, who had a proud background, was going to come to Zhangye City, cheered and looked forward to it.

The autumn defense order, which was as powerful as a nuclear bomb, was sent from Chang'an to Liangzhou, and after being sent here from Liangzhou, it was lying quietly on the table in the lobby of the Ganzhou Mansion, and no one even dared to dismantle it, let alone implement it.

……

On the Suzaku Street in Chang'an City, which is more than 150 meters wide, a post man is galloping on a stagecoach. There are three flags planted behind the horses, each with the word "urgent" written in red letters on a black background.

The pedestrians on Suzaku Street all avoided it, for fear of being hit by a stagecoach and dying in a daze.

"Great victory!"

"Jiannan's victory!"

The postman shouted loudly as he rode his horse.

"Is Jiannan a big victory again?"

A drunken young man walked out of Pingkangfang.

He knelt down and licked the magnates last night and offered his poems, but it seemed that they were probably useless, and he was not explicitly promised.

His name is Cen Shen, a native of Jiangling, Jingzhou, born in a bureaucratic family, because of his intelligence and precociousness, he studied at the age of five and became a literary student at the age of nine, and became one of the ranks of a generation of prodigies.

Of course, a child prodigy alone doesn't mean anything, and a family background is useless. He can't "be in a high position" at a young age like Fang Chongyong, and he doesn't have a father who holds a lot of power, is an envoy in Youzhou, and is deeply favored.

Therefore, Cen Shen only has one way to go.

Cen Shen, who was born as a prodigy, quickly realized that the imperial examination not only needs to have ability, but also needs the true meaning of "off-board recruitment". Since entering Chang'an this year, reading and studying is small, and it is big to hurry up and find a backer for yourself.

Cen Shen ran around, paying homage to the powerful, but in the end he still couldn't find a way.

He was disheartened and already planned to leave Chang'an and try his luck in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

Most of the magnates of the Tang Dynasty are in Chang'an, but some are also in Luoyang. Elsewhere, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the chances are slim.

"In the future, it is not a way out to go to the border town to develop and make contributions."

Staring in the direction where the herald had left, Cen Shen muttered to himself.

His little emotions naturally go unnoticed. But this good news from the border town from Jiannan is not trivial!

In the diligent government building of Xingqing Palace, Li Longji saw this good news that made his heart flutter, and he couldn't wait to sing it.

Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong told that after a hard battle, the Jiannan army conquered the important town of Anrong City, Tubo! and withstood the counterattack of the Tibetans with difficulty.

Ask the saints to give this place a new name!

There has not yet been a new good news from Hexi, but Jiannan's side won a big victory first, so it's no wonder that Brother Ji was overjoyed.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo occupied Anrong City (west of Maowen, Sichuan), and its land was dangerous, and the Tang army was repeatedly unable to conquer it, which had become a heart disease for Li Longji.

In order to "present" Brother Ji's birthday, Jiannanjiedu, who has always been "long-sleeved and good at dancing" in this regard, made Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and used a big victory to invite merit and flattery, which can be said to have touched Brother Ji's pulse.

After being an emperor for decades, Brother Ji lacks nothing, what surprise can a border town envoy give him?

Woman?

I heard that today's sage picks up ashes, and his daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan is favored, plus Zhang Qiu and Qiong can't know what type of woman Brother Ji likes. Can he succeed in this regard?

The probability is extremely low, and there is a suspicion of "not doing the right thing".

Brother Ji is also old, and now he is particularly fond of immortality, obsessed with cultivation, and only under power and women.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong were not without efforts, he sent people to all parts of Jiannan to find Fang Shi and the so-called "immortals". I have heard a lot of strange things, but after searching, I found that they are all untrue, and they are all people who deceive the world and steal their reputation.

Then as a festival envoy, what he can do can definitely only be military exploits. To present Jige's birthday with the great achievements of the border town, this is not only in line with the original work of the Jiedu envoy, but before that, Fang Youde provoked an incident in the north and tried to encircle and annihilate the Turks.

This can be regarded as an example for Zhang Qiu and Qiong!

Fortresses are always breached from within.

Zhang Qiu and Qiong want to conquer Anrong City, but obviously they can't follow the conventional methods in the past, stupidly pounce directly and fill it with human lives!

So he first had an affair with Zhai Duju, the general of Tubo in the city, sent a lot of gold and silver to the other party, and promised an official position. Sure enough, because of the factions within Tubo, the Zhai Du Bureau finally chose to rebel as Erwuzai, so he opened the city gate to lead the Tang army into and killed all the Tubo generals in the city.

Then Zhang Qiu and Qiong sent sharp soldiers to guard Anrong City, and because of the bad weather, the counterattack of the Tubo people was greatly reduced, and finally returned in vain.

In the south direction of Jiannan, the Tubo people suffered a heavy setback!

Ji Ge felt that the time was close to ripe for a thorough solution to the Tibetan issue.

Since Jiannan can make contributions, how can more than 100,000 elite soldiers in Hexi Longyou not be able to open up the situation?

Ji Ge sent a holy decree to Liangzhou Hexi Jiedu Mansion, urging Xiao Jiong, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, to cooperate with Du Hope to fight a decisive battle with the Tubo people in the area of Qinghai Lake and recover the hometown of Tuyuhun.

The Tang Army's strategic deployment of the Tubo people in the northwest border town began to accelerate because of Zhang Qiu and Qiong's good news.
