Chapter 240: The Essence of the Godfather of Hexi

A good military meeting was interrupted by a brawl between Geshuhan and Wang. Except for the news of the disbandment of the An'an People's Army, none of the other major events were announced before the meeting was dissolved.

Afterwards, Ge Shuhan and Wang Rare, who participated in the brawl, were detained in the yamen of Longyou Jiedu Mansion, waiting for Fang Chongyong's disposal, and the matter seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

After all the generals settled in Shanzhou City, Fang Chongyong called Ge Shuhan and Wang Rare to the study where the Jiedu envoy worked.

At this moment, Ge Shuhan was surprised to find that in addition to He Changqi, Guan Chongsi and others they were familiar with, there were also five young people with dark skin and strong muscles!

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fang Chongyong sat down on the seat of the Jiedu envoy and instructed the others to sit down as well.

"General Geshu and General Wang did a good job in the play just now."

Fang Chongyong looked at Ge Shuhan and said indifferently.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, they all follow the instructions of the marshal."

Ge Shuhan said.

It is rare that he and Wang are both noble military envoys, how can they fight in front of the envoys of the festival? That's purely to make yourself unhappy, and it doesn't play a role.

If you really look at someone unhappy, then kill it directly.

When Ge Shuhan took office in the Anren Army, there was a deputy who always contradicted him, so Ge Shuhan took advantage of the moment when a certain general gathered and directly killed the deputy general! Kill in front of everyone!

Afterwards, Ge Shuhan was only punished with three glasses of wine by Longyou Jiedu, and he didn't do anything to him.

Qiu Ba like them is so straightforward in doing things, and when they have the opportunity to do something, they will never keep their mouths shut, let alone fight snakes and suffer from them.

It was rare that Wang on the side didn't speak, and he didn't have anything to say, so he also acted according to Fang Chongyong's arrangement.

"Obey the orders of the saints, and establish a strong army that is second to none in Longyou! It's called the Tianwei Army. ”

Fang Chongyong said with a solemn face.

Ge Shuhan and the others all looked strange, and in the end, it was Wang who said cautiously: "Jie Shuai, the troops of Tunzha Stone Fort City are called Tianwei Army." ”

"That's right, so if this section marshal forms a Tianwei army again, he can confuse the Tubo people."

The Tianwei army in Shibao City is only a thousand people, and Fang Chongyong is just using this number to build a strategic reserve under the table. At least before the war, the Tubo people didn't know the situation and number, they would only know that the Anren army was gone!

"In order to build a mighty army, a certain specially asked the Hexi Jiedu envoy to transfer five generals, as well as 2,000 of their troops as the backbone."

Fang Chongyong pointed to the five young people sitting not far from him and said.

Ge Shuhan and Wang Rare and the others looked at each other, they didn't know about this before. However, it is also common for the border generals between Hexi and Longyou to dispatch each other, if the level is relatively low, and there is no need for the approval of the Ministry of War, the Jiedu envoys on both sides can do it with a word.

This is also an important reason why Hexi and Longyou Jiedu envoys were often concurrently served by one person later.

It's just that five people are enough, why do these five people still have a song?

Ge Shuhan was very puzzled in his heart.

"The father of the five of them is the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, Cheng Jie, and the family lives in Liangzhou. Now I heard that Tubo wanted to attack the Tang Dynasty, so I specially sent five of them to Longyou with family soldiers to establish a new army to attack Tubo. ”

Hearing this, the five young men all saluted to Ge Shuhan and the others reservedly, and did not speak.

Wu Wei on the clan! Hexi Jiedu makes Wang Qi!

Ge Shuhan and Wang were shocked in their hearts, and they no longer dared to underestimate the five young people beside Fang Chongyong.

In the Tang Dynasty, the world military system, which has been swept into the garbage heap of history, largely no longer exists, but it is not absolute.

For example, the Wuwei Lun clan is like this, they have world soldiers who do not belong to the sequence of the Tang Dynasty, which can be regarded as an alternative "cityside system".

"Marshal, could it be that these five strong men are the famous Tubo generals after the Lingqin?"

Wang asked with a surprised face.

"However, on the son of Qinling, on Gongren, returned to Tang with seven thousand tents and Tuguhun and was the general of the Shuofang army. The family settled in Wuwei City, Liangzhou, and multiplied. Back then, so-and-so had an old relationship with them.

On Gongren's son, on Chengjie, is their father. In order to avoid suspicion, General Lun did not let his heirs enter the Shuofang army, but stayed in Wuwei, Liangzhou as a border army, but did not belong to the Tang army.

Now that it is the time to employ people, a certain wrote a letter to Wang Qi, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and Cheng Jiejie, the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and transferred the five of them to Longyou as generals. This is also the wish of General Chengjie, whose family has always wanted to seek revenge from Tubo Zampu.

Now's your chance! ”

Fang Chongyong said casually, so lightly, as if he was just talking about a very small thing that was not worth mentioning at all.

But Ge Shuhan, Wang Rare and others knew that this matter seemed to be very simple, but the connections and favors needed in it were not something that an ordinary general could do. Even an ordinary literati envoy can't do it!

They suddenly remembered that Fang Chongyong seemed to have been an assassin in Shazhou for four years and had friendships with local military and political personnel. In this way, this matter is logical.

So why didn't Chengjie get his sons to be officers in the Shuofang Army?

Because he is a descendant of Tubo and Tang, he is still the bloodline of Lingqin. Engaging in the kind of father-son soldiers going into battle can easily arouse Brother Ji's suspicion, and it will also make his colleagues around him jealous.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty soldiers who died at the hands of Non Lingqin back then, whether it is archaeological or historical records, there is no doubt that the order of magnitude went straight to six figures. Some even say that it starts at 200,000, while others say more than 300,000.

The descendants of the Lun clan are on the side of Datang, of course they have to be careful!

On Gongren himself is the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and his son Non Chengjie has become the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, if he gets his heir into Shuofang Army, what will the Tang Dynasty think?

This kind of thing of turning the border army into its own army has always been a taboo for officials.

Therefore, the Non family has always settled in Wuwei, Liangzhou, and they also do not serve as generals in the Hexi Army, after all, the Non family has taken root in Wuwei.

Just when Cheng Jie was worried about how to settle his five sons, Fang Chongyong sent a letter over, and Cheng Jie was overjoyed, not only let his sons go to Longyou for training, but also transferred two thousand elite soldiers from the family to accompany them to Longyou.

If nothing else, it's just to experience the children of the family, and by the way, return a wish!

It's not a day or two since the Lun clan wants to fight Tibet. Speaking of the people who hate Tibet the most, it is really not the turn of the Tang Dynasty, and the descendants of Lingqin can probably rank in the top three.

Back then, their family almost replaced Zampu and replaced him, but now they have become generals of the Tang Army, and only they know the bitter taste in their hearts.

Because he was afraid that these people would undermine the overall situation, Ji Ge always let the Lun clan operate in the Shuofang army and did not let them have direct contact with the Tubo people.

It's not like betrayal, but I'm worried that these people will be carried away by the blood feud and do some irrational things.

Ge Shuhan seemed to have guessed Fang Chongyong's plan, and his heart was weak for a while.

This acting Fang Jieshuai is too active. He doesn't play any conspiracy with you at all, all of his schemes, no matter which one of them is viewed individually, it is impeccable.

He did the thing, he was a good person, and the means were still very advanced, leaving no truth!

Take out the Anren army, import the fresh blood from Hexi, and then recruit elites from the Longyou army, you can control this army as a hole card and revitalize the backwater of the Longyou army.

The Anren Army mutinied and became notorious, so naturally it would not be possible to deal with it. So Fang Jieshuai disbanded the Anren Army and gave an explanation to the Son of Heaven in Chang'an.

acted in a bitter meat plan, just to pave the way for the later "subduion" of Ge Shuhan, all for outsiders to see. Obviously, the envoy of the Tianwei Army is Ge Shuhan, of course, it is inevitable to kneel down and be a dog, otherwise in the eyes of outsiders, Ge Shuhan is a white-eyed wolf, and he will not be able to mix anywhere in the future.

The rebuilding of the new army, with ample pay as bait, could dismember the personal control of the envoys over the border armies, or at least weaken their control. It also opened an upward channel and reduced the discontent among the army on the right side of Long.

The Lun clan wanted to seek revenge from Tubo, but they were worried that the continued entry of family members into the Shuofang army would cause suspicion, so they gladly accepted the order and helped them with all their might. This scene was unexpected, but it made sense.

Fang Chongyong needs his own team to suppress the right side of Long's army, Qiu Ba, and the Non family needs to pave the way for the children of the family, and on Chengjie will always have a day to return to his hometown, and he must plan for the descendants of the family. The two sides hit it off with dry firewood!

The people of the Non clan first came to Longyou, and they were unfamiliar with the place and had no one to help. Fang Chongyong had a relationship with these forces from Hexi in the past, so there was no need to think about it at all, these people must be the first to follow him and become hardcore.

As long as Fang Chongyong is still serving as the envoy of Longyoujie, then he can command these people like an arm.

Where power comes from, it comes from the support of a group of people for a person!

The five brothers of the Lun clan and their men and horses happened to be the elite absorbed in the army on the right side of Long, balancing and restraining each other. Then Fang Chongyong, the acting envoy of the festival, became a well-known existence in the Tianwei army, and no one could resist him.

Holding the essence of the Longyou Army in his hand, he leveled the envoys of the Lintao Army and the Heyuan Army. Here in the right army of Long, Fang Chongyong can not rely on the imperial decree, and the army under his direct control is at least 40,000 people!

This is enough for him to show his strength in Longyou!

"The Tubo people are coming, and the formation of the Tianwei Army will be sent to all armies in the form of step-by-step notice. The original establishment was 10,000 people, but now 2,000 soldiers have been replenished on the Hexi side, and 8,000 more are needed.

Priority will be given to recruiting elites from the Anren Army and the Heyuan Army, and after passing the assessment, they will be hired, and finally reported to the Ministry of War.

Ge Shuhan served as the military envoy of the Tianwei Army, and Wei Zhen was the deputy military envoy of the Tianwei Army, and Gao Xiuyan, the former deputy military envoy of the Heyuan Army, was transferred to the deputy military envoy of the Tianwei Army (there is more than one deputy military envoy of one army).

1,000 people were selected from the Tianwei army as pro-soldiers, and He Changqi was the captain of the pro-soldiers to guard the safety of Shanzhou City.

On Huaiyi, on only virtuous, only good, on only Qing as a partial general.

The salaries of ordinary non-commissioned officers of the Tianwei Army are the same as those of other armies. However, every year the imperial court will reissue an autumn coat, which is similar in scale to spring and winter clothes. As for the generals at all levels, whether it is good or not, you just need to think about it slowly. ”

Hearing Fang Chongyong say this, Ge Shuhan, Wang Rare and the others were relieved.

I was blind and sloppy before, but I didn't expect this young Fang Jieshuai to be an old Jianghu! Fortunately, I got on the bus in time!

"Here's what you're going to do next, we'll see tomorrow."

Fang Chongyong stood up and handed the two envelopes in his hand to Ge Shuhan and Wang Rare.

It wasn't until this moment that Wang suddenly realized.

Originally, he thought that it was the "revenge of killing his father" that made Fang Chongyong jealous, so he deliberately wanted to find something to come out and let himself act in a bitter meat scene.

Unexpectedly, Fang Chongyong's starting point was extremely simple.

Since it was the Anren Army who mutinied and the Heyuan Army made trouble, then start with these two armies. One cancels the number directly, and the other is estimated to have to use a big knife!

Ge Shuhan and Wang Rare took the order and left, and Fang Chongyong retreated He Changqi and Guan Chongsi and others, leaving only the five brothers of the Lun family in the study.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Lu Weizhen stepped forward and wanted to shake hands with Fang Chongyong, but stretched out half and retracted back. As a result, Fang Chongyong put his hands on his shoulders and laughed: "Isn't it outside!" When you followed me to kill horse thieves, you were not ambiguous at all! ”

"Alas, the days of the year were really happy, as soon as I heard that Hexi Qilin is now the commander of Longyou, several of our brothers are looking forward to coming to Longyou as soon as possible to follow Fang Jie Shuai!

Now Hexi...... Alas, it's hard to put into words, the business in the Western Regions is about to go on. ”

On Huaiyi said with a stunned face.

If there were not so many trade routes in Hexi, they would have been dismissed a long time ago! They used to act as thugs who "did private work" under Fang Chongyong back then, and they wore Tang Army armor for many months to wander around the trade roads in the Western Regions, and they knew very well what kind of character Fang Chongyong was.

At that time, the Lun family made a lot of money because of this, and made a fortune in Liangzhou.

However, since Fang Chongyong left Hexi, the income of this trade route can be said to be worse day by day.

Rules are made by man, and they are also broken by man. Without someone like Fang Chongyong, who is capable and moral, and responds to every call, there will soon be people who break the rules on the trade routes in Hexi. With the first one, there was a second one, and slowly, everyone began to disobey the rules.

After all, who wouldn't want to take a little more?

Of course, the real bad thing is still bad for Zhang Shouqi's son Zhang Xiancheng.

After this guy arrived in Guazhou, he threatened that his father was the left minister, and he was going to pluck the goose on the trade road, and there was a lot of noise at that time. However, Zhang Shouqi was later dismissed, and it didn't take long for Zhang Xiancheng to be reported for robbing a people's daughter and being dismissed, and now he doesn't know where to hide.

Zhang Xiancheng is not greedy for beauty, and it is impossible to rob people's daughters. But without the cover of his father, who is in the mood to listen to his nonsense?

Those who run rampant with power will surely die from the arrogance of power, and this truth is no different from drowning in water by those who are good at water.

Zhang Xiancheng, the person who broke the rules, is gone, and everything can't go back, and he is heading towards a greater collapse.

In the past, even if Fang Chongyong was no longer there, people who wanted to do things secretly did not dare to break the rules.

But since there is an exception of Zhang Xiancheng, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have emerged!

In addition to the various "horse bandits" that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain because of the uneven distribution of spoils among various families, the Sogdians in the Western Regions are not willing to be monopolized by caravans, and they have clashed with the Doulu army in Shazhou several times.

Of course, the Sogdian Hu merchants couldn't defeat the elite Doulu army, so they simply stopped importing and exporting goods to Chang'an! They started to play the monopoly of supply! It's no different from an economic blockade! No one wants to get along with money, and the sharp knife in Dou Lujun's hand can't be directly turned into grain and cloth.

In desperation, the high-ranking officials of the Doulu army and even the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, Wang Qi, had to use the local wealthy clans in Shazhou as a guarantor for the middlemen, and invited these Sogdians back to sit at a table to negotiate.

Whether the discussion was good or not, the five brothers of the Lun clan did not know, but the shrinkage of the smuggling interests of the Hexi trade route was visible to the naked eye.

The Lun clan brought 2,000 people to join Longyou this time, and there were no factors to reduce their own economic pressure, of course, this was what Fang Chongyong did not expect.

"The Tubo people are coming, so let's do something with a certain one."

Fang Chongyong said to the five brothers of the Lun family.

Every chapter is not easy now, and I tried my best
