When Zheng Shuqing hurried to Xingqing Palace, he saw Li Longji talking and laughing with the favored "Lady of the Kingdom" outside the Calyx Xianghui Building, and they looked like they were talking happily.

There is also a three- or four-year-old child beside Mrs. Qiuguo, who is the rumored illegitimate son of Mrs. Qiuguo, Yang Xing.

Of course, you can also call Li Xing.

Mrs. Qiuguo's husband was transferred to a foreign country as an assassin many years ago, and he died in a foreign country for some reason, and the child born to this widow was naturally an illegitimate child. Brother Ji is old and has a son, fortunately, and it is understandable to have such a name.

What Brother Ji's mood was at that time, Zheng Shuqing could imagine. But there were more things that he didn't dare to think about further.

To Zheng Shuqing's surprise, as soon as Brother Ji saw him, he dismissed Mrs. Qiu Guo and Yang Xing, and then took him to the study of the diligent government building, and the two discussed important matters.

After sitting down, Li Longji laughed and said:

"My left and right phases, one drank when he was on duty, and the other made a mistake in the fold, and each was fined 5,000 silks. Prime ministers are like this, and the discipline of the imperial court really needs to be rectified.

Did Aiqing encounter something difficult on her side? Even the prime minister has confessed to punishment, but I want to see who is so blind. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Shuqing didn't know how to answer.

The emperor in front of him claims to be a "holy monarch", but he is actually a scumbag who is lenient with himself and strict with others. Just listen to what he says, don't take it seriously, if you take it seriously, you will definitely be unlucky in the end.

"Returning to the saint, in fact, is not a big deal, that is, Weichen took the sharp soldiers of the Shence Army to raid the clothes of those Wuling young people in the suburbs of Chang'an to see if they met the rules of the imperial court, and then there was a little mess."

Zheng Shuqing said cautiously, not daring to look up at Brother Ji.

"Oh? Sure enough, there are still people who don't know decency! Isn't this the jacket in the brocade robe with a red and yellow cloth base, what's so noisy, just admit the punishment and it's over, I have already guessed this kind of thing.

Aiqing just needs to do an errand, if something goes wrong, I will carry it for you. The money that should be fined, not a single silk is missing, no matter who it is, even if it is my prince and grandson, Aiqing does not need to show mercy. ”

Brother Ki laughed and said.

He thought to himself: The "inspection strategy" proposed by Fang Chongyong is really wonderful! specializes in trivial things to the death, but never goes online.

In a word, as long as you have the money to give, it's fine!

Ji Ge believes that the court officials and clan magnates enjoy the protection of the state and enjoy the privileges of the state. Now that there is a shortage of military funds on the right side of Longyou, it is not too much to let them bleed, right?

The whole world is not the king's land, let these people pay, it is to look up to them!

In Brother Ji's opinion, the problem that Zheng Shuqing said is simply not a problem!

"Thank you for your understanding, then Weichen will do it and deal with it impartially."

Uncle Zheng crossed his hands and saluted, and then prepared to leave the diligent government affairs building.

Suddenly, Brother Ji stopped Zheng Shuqing as if he remembered something.

"Uh, the people you arrested this time, well, I mean those improperly dressed Wuling young, how? How many? ”

Brother Ji said with a questioning expression.

"There are not many saints, only more than a hundred."

Uncle Zheng said without blushing and without a beating heart.

"There are more than 100 people, which is indeed a bit of a lot......

Brother Ji muttered to himself, also startled. I didn't expect to catch so many people casually!

"Saint, these people are not easy to put away. If they are released, the inspection institute will arrest people in the future, and it will be difficult to speak. ”

Zheng Shuqing saw that Brother Ji was a little hesitant, and hurriedly suggested.

The new official took office three times, just to establish his authority, otherwise who would listen to what he said in the future?

"That's fine, let's do it."

Brother Ji nodded, although he knew that Zheng Shuqing would poke out the big basket this time, but he also wanted to see what the final result would be.

"The fines received will be sent to Lanzhou in Longyou as soon as possible. King Subi wants to take refuge in my Tang Dynasty, and Tubo will definitely not give up. ”

Brother Ji reminded with a straight face.

"Back to the saint, there is one person under Weichen who is good at counting, and it is not difficult to hand over this matter to him."

Zheng Shuqing said humbly.

He still knows how many pounds and taels he has, and he is now scared by Brother Ji, for fear that the other party will think that he is "good at managing money".

Brother Ji nodded slightly, waved his big hand, and motioned for Zheng Shuqing to retreat.

"Are you good at numeracy and financial management?"

After Lao Zheng left, Li Longji thought about it, he thought of another person, and that difficult errand could be handed over to this person.

……

Fang Chongyong had no way of knowing what happened in Chang'an, and he didn't expect the "inspection" action, and the first knife actually slashed Li Linfu's head.

Fang Chongyong is planning a big event in Longyou: preparing to face Tubo!

Before Du Hope left, he also handed over the letter from King Subi to Fang Chongyong. This made Fang Yanei, who had always wanted to survive his tenure, cry out.

If King Subi surrendered, it would be fine, if he really surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, it would just give the Tubo people the excuse to send troops.

The two countries are at war, and they are also famous for their teachers.

If the name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will be difficult to achieve, and many times a little thing on the border between the two countries will be infinitely magnified and become an excuse for war! Its influence must not be underestimated.

The king of Subi has lost his real power in the Subi region, and the specific person who manages the political and military affairs of the Subi region is Sun Boru of Tubo, and the lord of Ru is the leader of the local military and government.

And King Subi is only a mascot who can participate in politics, and has no right to govern, let alone many cronies.

If King Subi took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, at most he would slap Tubo Zampu in the face, and then let the Tang Dynasty Emperor and the hundred officials and nobles satisfy their vanity.

That's all, it won't bring any substantial benefits to the Tang Dynasty border defense, and there is no way to support King Subi to build another "Subi country".

King Subi was also a slave owner and did not have that mass base. The harsh natural conditions also make Datang unable to hurt and consume.

Because the Tibetan people themselves did not completely conquer the Subi region, playing war games in this vast and sparsely populated place with a harsh climate, the input-output ratio is too low, and it is better to use it as a sound dog and horse, at least to listen to it.

The Tubo people who are close and not afraid of altitude sickness are like this, and Datang has no reason to be thankless.

Therefore, the matter of King Subi's surrender to Tang was a completely thankless task for the Longyou army who was responsible for receiving it.

It's done, that's how it should be, this in itself is King Subi's "deep understanding of righteousness", and he is not instigated by the Longyou army.

If it is not done well, the Longyou army will become incompetent, and even the people who have taken refuge in it can't be protected, who will take refuge in Datang in the future?

Someone will definitely take the blame when the time comes.

If it's just like this, it's just to let the right army of Long take over King Subi and his subordinates. The key problem is also that King Subi defected to the Tang Dynasty, giving the Tubo people an excellent excuse to send troops to Longyou! And the direction of Tubo's troops is Longyou!

After the rebellion of King Subi, Tubo will immediately send people to find someone to find someone from the Tang Dynasty and ask Brother Ji to hand over King Subi immediately!

If Brother Ji is willing to suffer this loss, then he is not Brother Ji!

It is impossible for people to make friends, not only will they not hand over people, but Ji Ge will even reward the king of Subi in a big way, so as to slap the Tibetan people in the face and set a benchmark example.

Of course, this is also something that the Tibetan people expected, they are worried that there is no excuse for declaring war!

Tubo will immediately publicize internally: Why did King Subi rebel, that is, because the Tang Dynasty was inciting the Tibetan magnates to rebel, no wonder King Subi was crowned a king and a marquis when he arrived in the Tang Dynasty.

They were all colluded beforehand!

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, then flip the table! Let's go to the battlefield and reason with our swords!

Then the biggest unlucky guy is the Longyou army that faced the front of the Tubo people, and he couldn't be reasonable.

Fang Chongyong could guess that the Tubo people's thoughts about King Subi must be insightful, and if they knew it, they pretended not to know, maybe they were waiting for this opportunity!

This Subi king has not come yet, so the Longyou border is still relatively calm, so Fang Chongyong is like a hamster preparing for winter, and he is full of energy and actively preparing for war.

This is already the last calm before the storm!

Today's Tubo is no longer the Tubo before Wu Zhou, and their military strategy and military deployment are quite complete and cannot be underestimated.

The border between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty is very long, before the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the Tubo people fought, and each Dongdai was young and strong to come forward to fight in formation, old and weak women and children and slaves, doing logistics work in the rear.

The advantage of this is that you can hit wherever you go, which reduces the pressure on logistics to a certain extent.

However, the disadvantage of this is also obvious, that is, once the battle situation in front is lost, the cavalry of the Tubo people can run, and the foot soldiers also have a chance to run, but the person in charge of logistics in the camp can't run at all! slowed down the overall marching speed.

Therefore, before Wu Zhou, the Tang army took advantage of the characteristics of the Tibetan people's march and won many battles.

Things have changed a lot later, though.

In the long-term confrontation with the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo people formed three major war sources, which can also be said to be three large logistics bases.

In each battle, Da Yan came forward and organized some Dongdai, who were not good at fighting, to undertake the task of "Nangxia" and be responsible for the army's logistics and the management of war trophies. And some other Dongdai, who are good at fighting, sent soldiers to attack the outside world.

To put it simply, Tibet has formed three "large military regions", each of which can fight independently. This situation is similar to the festival degree of the Tang Dynasty, and the time of appearance is also the relationship between the front and back feet, which can be regarded as the new strategy adopted by the Tubo people to the changes in the battlefield situation.

Wherever you want to fight, you will send troops from the corresponding "military region", which is no different from Datang.

The westernmost offensive launch point was the Qaidam River valley in western Qinghai in Fang Chongyong's previous life. That is, it is centered on the Dulan and Xiangride regions, plus the Buha River basin west of Qinghai Lake.

The main direction of the offensive was Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou and Shazhou in the Tang Dynasty, threatening the security of the Hexi Corridor. Of course, the Tibetans could also go directly west, crossing the Altun Mountains, attacking the southern edge of the Western Regions, and threatening the Anxi Protectorate.

Hexi Jiedu Mansion and Anxi Jiedu Mansion jointly dealt with the Tubo people along the way, and a few years ago, they were the ones who fought with Fang Chongyong and fought on the battle array.

The launching point in the middle was in the Republic of China, Xinghai, Guinan and other places in Fang Chongyong's previous life, that is, the vast area of the Shazhuyu River, Daheba River, and Mola River Basin, and the direction of the attack was mainly Shanzhou, Kuozhou, Liangzhou and other places at the junction of Helong.

Fang Chongyong's Longyou Jiedu Mansion directly faced the soldiers of the Tubo people along the way.

The easternmost ones are Qinghai Henan and Guoluo Prefectures, Jiuzhi in Gannan and Aba Prefecture in northern Sichuan, and the direction of attack is Hezhou (currently the southern part of Lanzhou), Taozhou, Diezhou, and Minzhou in the east of Longyou, as well as Songzhou and Maozhou in Jiannan.

Longyou and Jiannan divided their troops to deal with the Tubo people along the way.

Among them, the direction of Longyou Jiedu Mansion can be said to be the core area of the conflict between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo!

So early in the morning, Fang Chongyong gathered with the military envoys of the Longyou side for a meeting as previously agreed to discuss major matters.

The other armies were all military envoys present, only the Anren Army came with dozens of people, and almost all the generals and colonels in the army gathered here, how to look at it seems strange.

However, the people of the Anren Army, except for the military envoy Ge Shuhan, could not enter the hall where the meeting was held, and could only wait in the courtyard of the government office. All around are subordinate to the Lintao army's own soldiers, armed to the teeth with armor and knives, and the atmosphere is very solemn!

"The main reason for calling all the military envoys here today is to announce one thing."

In the hall of Jiedu Mansion, sitting on the main seat of the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, Fang Chongyong said with a calm face, not smiling.

None of the military envoys present said a word, waiting for his later words. Vaguely, all of these people felt that something big was going to happen!

"Before this section commander, he reported many things about the town on the right side of Long, including the mutiny of the Anren army, to the sage. The saint replied with four words, that is, cheap disposal.

Therefore, a certain person will now announce the decision on the disposal of the Anren Army and the generals and soldiers of the Anren Army. ”

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Ge Shuhan to hear what the unlucky man would say.

Because Ge Shuhan is the military envoy of the Anren Army, no matter what to do with the Anren Army, he is the most affected person!

And this acting Fang Jieshuai didn't seem to be discussing with them, but directly informed the results with a tough attitude.

"How the commander wants to deal with the Anren army, the last general has no objection."

Ge Shuhan said stiffly.

"General Geshu understands righteousness, and he is really an example of my Tang border army."

Fang Chongyong sighed and said.

Then he looked around at everyone and said with a sad face:

"The Anren Army mutinied and made trouble, and actually ignored the border defense, abandoned the garrison and fled in all directions, completely ruining the reputation of the Longyou Border Army.

The black sheep cannot be left, so the commander of this section now announces that the name of the People's Army will be revoked.

Its soldiers and generals were all incorporated into the rest of the armies of Longyou. The specific details will be sent to inform you tomorrow. ”

As soon as these words came out, the stone was shattered!

Not to mention Ge Shuhan, even a general like Gai Jiayun, who had already knelt down for Fang Chongyong as a dog, was so shocked that his ears were buzzing!

This "temporary festival marshal" is too bold, he is completely using chicken feathers as an arrow!

In the Tang Dynasty Military Law, the envoys of the border towns have the right to set up new numbers in the border towns, and they can also revoke the original numbers, but they do not have the right to expand the establishment.

To sum it simply, the festival degree envoy can set up a new army number, or cancel the old army number.

However, even the Long March athletes are recorded in the account books of the Ministry of War, one radish and one pit. There is no way to add people to the roster of the Ministry of War!

The military salary given by the imperial court to the border towns will not be given more! Unless the emperor orders it, after the approval of the province of Zhongshumen, the military department will implement it again and increase the number of soldiers.

It is not that this thing cannot be done by increasing the number of soldiers in the account books of the Ministry of War, but the process and process are a big trouble, and it is very time-consuming to be easy to do, and it is far from being able to be done by a knot.

Increase or decrease the number, and the festival degree can be "decided in one word".

In the history books of Fang Chongyong's previous life, after Ge Shuhan captured Shibao City, he had a series of combination punches to expand the side of Longyou, and then set up ten new armies, including the "Shence Army".

However, the new soldiers were approved only by Brother Ji's strong promotion, not the credit of Brother Shuhan himself.

If you include a series of "armies" set up by Guo Zhiyun in Longyou in the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. The revocation of the military town number, or the establishment of a new number, is not as simple as eating and drinking, at least it is not difficult to ask the imperial court for approval step by step.

However, Fang Chongyong is just an acting festival envoy! An agent, just so uncounted, to engage in this kind of blind work?

Longyou Jiedu made the yamen hall silent for a long time, and Ge Shuhan saluted Chongyong and asked: "Fang Jieshuai, do you want to report this matter to Chang'an first, and then make a decision after the holy decree comes down?" ”

As soon as he said this, all the generals in the hall looked at Fang Chongyong together, wanting to see what this Fang Jieshuai was going to do.

"Ge Shuhan, you are so bold, you dare to collude with the Tubo people to disturb my right frontier!"

Before Fang Chongyong could speak, Wang Rare, who had been silent, rushed forward and punched Ge Shuhan to the ground!

Then he punched and kicked Ge Shuhan.

Ge Shuhan also did not show weakness, and after getting up, the two scuffled together, and the scene was suddenly chaotic!

"Enough! You are military envoys, not the green-skinned gangsters in Chang'an City, don't stop yet! ”

Fang Chongyong shouted at the scuffling two!

The two were persuaded by the other generals to glare at each other silently.

The operation went well, but now I am not in good spirits, and I can't explain it, so be it.
