Chapter 258: Born to be a human being, I'm sorry
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Under the miserable white moonlight, Fang Chongyong was in front of a dense crowd of "people" who staggered forward like zombies. One by one, with a bright knife in their hands, they kept moving forward.
Fang Chongyong knew that this was a dream, and he also knew that it was his subconscious trick, but he just couldn't wake up, as if he was pressed into bed by a ghost. Qiu Ba, who was supposed to be beside him, didn't see any of them at the moment, and he was alone in front of the dense "people".
The wounds on those who were killed seemed to be clearly visible. Some even had their heads cut off, and like ghosts, they passed through their bodies and then walked aimlessly, and the huge procession finally disappeared.
All that left in front of him was the white moonlight falling on the sand. In this lucid dream, Fang Chongyong couldn't avoid it, couldn't turn back, no one helped him, and of course, he didn't suffer any retaliation in the end.
It was already three poles in the sun, and the bright sun shone on Fang Chongyong's face. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself covered in a cold sweat, and Pei Xiu beside him was looking at him with concern on his face, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Did I talk in my sleep?"
Fang Chongyong asked quietly.
"Ah Lang has been saying: You should be damned, that's all there are four words."
Pei Xiu said with palpitations.
"No wonder the five generations of Qiu Ba all believe in Buddhism."
Fang Chongyong muttered in a low voice and let out a long sigh of relief.
For normal people, killing someone, or directing a killing, is not pleasant or rewarding. It's just that in many cases, although the purpose of war is not to kill people, it is impossible to put an end to such things.
Whether it is Qiu Ba or a general, this is just a profession. How to kill people efficiently and skillfully is the core skill of this type of profession.
Many times, as long as you go to the battlefield, it is either you who kills or someone kills you, and no one has a choice.
Fang Chongyong did a lot of work for the people of Liangzhou An, so that they temporarily dispelled the idea of developing smuggling and joined a larger cause.
The information of that caravan was also betrayed to Fang Chongyong by the Liangzhou An clan as a statement of nomination to prove his position. If the people of this smuggling caravan were not killed, Fang Chongyong would not be able to deploy in Hexi.
Fang Chongyong didn't like to kill, but this time he had to. Born human, he's sorry.
"I hope that my sins will not be shared by you in the future."
Fang Chongyong put his hand on Pei Xiu's flat lower abdomen and stroked it gently.
"Alang, the saint is already very old. In the future, if there is an accident, then ......"
Pei Xiu frowned slightly, and couldn't help but ask, this question has been brewing in her heart for a long time.
Fang Chongyong was awarded the official position of Hexi Jiedu envoy, which not only did not make Pei Xiu feel at ease, but cast a shadow on her heart.
"What are you afraid of, whoever dares to touch me, I will kill whoever I am!"
Fang Chongyong said angrily. There is no one who understands the changes in the world in the future better than him, the years will not last too long, and the future will be an era of reasoning with a knife. All power that is not supported by force will be thrown to the ground and trampled mercilessly.
Seeing Fang Chongyong's resolute attitude, Pei Xiu suddenly stopped talking.
If it were someone else, it would be bragging. But Pei Xiu knew that Fang Chongyong really dared, he dared to do anything! This man did not have any reverence for imperial power.
"Didn't I write a letter last time, my father replied that after the child was born, he would send it to Pei's family to be raised quietly......
Pei Xiu said with some embarrassment.
She received the letter a few days ago, and Pei Min also said a lot of truthful things, Hexi Jiedu made the tree a big move, and he had to keep a low profile no matter what.
Pei Xiu pondered for a long time, thinking about how to say this kind of thing, and finally decided to tell the truth.
"Understood, just do as your father says."
Fang Chongyong nodded slightly and said.
"Hey! Why are you like this! That's our kids! ”
Pei Xiu stood up and looked at Fang Chongyong with wide eyes, looking dissatisfied and angry.
"Let Guan Chongsi send you to Youzhou today, and in the future, I will announce to the public that you were seriously injured after falling from a horse and need to recuperate."
Fang Chongyong said with a long sigh, and did not change his mind. Pei Xiu's mind is not clear, but her father Pei Min still sees it very clearly.
The political situation in Datang is quietly changing.
"What are you two doing......
Bae Xiu covered her face with her hands and began to sob.
"It's going to change, your father is for your good, and everything must be considered for the long run."
Fang Chongyong said helplessly, and gently hugged Pei Xiu's shoulder. The wind is blowing, and those with a keen sense of smell have already felt the chill of winter from the breeze.
The strange behavior of Li Jian, the king of Ying, is enough to show that the political situation in the center of the Tang Dynasty has begun to gradually become turbulent. The prince's position is open, which even Brother Ji can't suppress. Under pressure, either the next Li Heng will be released, or the princes will be slaughtered.
Perhaps next, to achieve a new balance of terror in the core of the Tang Dynasty's domination, it will be the next round of layout of Ji Ge. Let the prince fight with the princes, these people will not be willing to spray each other, and will definitely find helpers.
Keeping the struggle within a certain range and not getting out of control is the basic goal of Kego. He doesn't think about anything more, but puts pleasure first.
Many courtiers, even important ministers of the court, will consider how to take their own path after Brother Ji dies in the future. In fact, this is also human nature, after all, Brother Ji is over sixty years old this year, how many more years can he be chic?
Whether it is Fang Chongyong or Fang Youde, they are all staunch "royalists" at present, and they do not belong to any of the prince's factions. In other words, Brother Ji is the only backer of their father and son.
In the future, these kinds of people will be the diehards who must be eliminated as soon as the new emperor ascends the throne! The dismissal is just a guarantee, exile in Lingnan is the norm, and even extermination in serious cases!
This point, not only Cen Shen understands, but I am afraid Pei Min also sees it.
Let Pei Xiu give birth to an illegitimate child and raise him in the Pei family in the name of the Pei family's children, but also to leave a bloodline for the Fang family, Fang Chongyong felt that according to the habits of the ancients, Pei Min was already very interesting in the absence of obvious standing in line.
However, Fang Chongyong felt that he could go further.
Instead of waiting for Pei Xiu to give birth to a son and send it back to arouse suspicion, it is better to let Pei Xiu return to Pei Min now and give birth to the child in half a year.
If the wind and waves are calm in the future, take Pei Xiu and her children back;
If something really happens in the future, then ...... Implement contingency plans.
Rebel in the border towns! In short, Fang Chongyong will not sit still.
At that time, Pei Xiu will be more stable in Pei's family, and there will be a way to advance and retreat in this arrangement.
"Does it really have to be like this?"
Pei Xiu said unwillingly.
"Yes, and besides, I have a big plan, and I may run around for a long time, and it is inconvenient to take you with me all the time...... Back to your father, so-and-so is more at ease. ”
Fang Chongyong mentioned it vaguely, but he didn't dare to tell Pei Xiu too clearly, so as not to scare this stupid girl.
"Well, that's fine."
Pei Xiu was like a frosted eggplant, completely wilted.
Now she seems to feel that the "filter" that used to cover her eyes has been taken away. Now the world in her eyes is full of crisis and uncertainty.
……
"Jie Shuai! Fang Jieshuai!
You're finally back! It's finally back! ”
In the study, Yan Zhuang, who had just come in, disregarded his dignity, hugged Fang Chongyong's arm and cried, which can be called a handful of snot and tears.
"Okay, don't gossip, what's the situation in Shazhou now?"
Fang Chongyong waved his hand and motioned for Yan Zhuang to sit down and speak in detail, he was not angry and arrogant at the moment, and he had the powerful aura of the chief general of the border army.
made Yan Zhuang sigh.
"The situation is average, the festival commander Yu Wei is still there, but the local big families are also ready to move."
Yan Zhuang said with a tired face.
"What about Zhang Yi? He won't preside over the overall situation? ”
Fang Chongyong asked suspiciously.
"Well, on the day of Zhang Hanna's twenty-third concubine, when I was running errands at night, I immediately died of wind on the bed. Because this matter is too embarrassing, the funeral was hasty, and it is not unusual for the festival marshal not to know. ”
Yan Zhuang said with a sigh.
"When this section marshal left Shazhou, he accepted the twelfth concubine. It's not been a few years, and there are eleven more? ”
Fang Chongyong asked with a stunned face, this big brother is not old, he is really good at playing!
"Who knows, who doesn't have fun in time in Shazhou. Maybe one day it will be like a caravan that has just been destroyed, and it will die cleanly. ”
Yan Zhuang said a word disappreciatively, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Is there something important to do in the marshal?" Just tell me that I can't wait! ”
"It's true that there is something, but well, it has something to do with the concert. I plan to recommend you to go to Chang'an and serve as a marching envoy in the Jinjuan Academy. ”
Fang Chongyong explained to Yan Zhuang in detail what the concert hall was doing.
"Jie Shuai, you ...... Are you going to make yourself king? ”
Yan Zhuang asked with a calm face.
Fang Chongyong's eyes flashed, and he said casually: "You really think too much, in fact, this section commander just wants to communicate with the court more conveniently." ”
"No, no, if it is not a country within a country, there is absolutely no need to send an envoy to stay in the capital.
Although the festival marshal didn't say anything, letting the imperial court set up the Jinjuyuan was itself to divide one side. Even if the marshal doesn't do this kind of thing, someone will do it in the future.
In the gymnasium, you can even hide soldiers in the future! Do the artifact change hands! ”
Yan Zhuang said unashamedly, his brain made up a lot of pictures, and he also had a bottom in his heart.
He was really afraid that Fang Chongyong was a foolish and loyal person, so as soon as he heard what the Jinju Academy was for, he knew that the Fang Jieshuai in front of him was really not ordinarily deep.
If not a state, then what Ministry of Foreign Affairs is needed?
As long as someone wants to steal something, even if the average person can't understand his actions. But in the eyes of thieves, what this person does can't hide from the "clear-eyed person".
"There is no need to mention any more words of self-reliance.
In case it reaches the ears of outsiders, this section Shuai doesn't know how to explain it.
Let the saint know, this section is even more handsome! ”
Fang Chongyong said to Yan Zhuang without smiling.
"Yes, yes, it's a humble remark just now, don't take it to heart.
This marching envoy must be well deserved, please rest assured! ”
Yan Zhuang swore and said.
"Well, in two days, I will accompany someone back to Shazhou, there is a big thing to do."
Fang Chongyong spread out the big paper, as if he was writing a letter of recommendation, and wrote something on the big paper without raising his head as he spoke.
"Are you going back to Shazhou? Could it be that the marshal is going to Shazhou to deploy Jiaozi? ”
Yan Zhuang had just come from Dunhuang County, Shazhou, and was about to go back, so he couldn't help but feel a little weird.
"Yes, I went back to Shazhou to do business, but the main thing was not to make friends, but the local big families in Liangzhou were not very friendly to this section of the handsome. Therefore, the commander decided to relocate the Hexi Jiedu Mansion to Dunhuang County as a whole. ”
After writing the letter, Fang Chongyong waited for the ink on the paper to dry, and then stamped it with the seal of the envoy of Hexi Jiedu.
Then he handed it to Yan Zhuang and said:
"This is your letter of introduction, just hand it over to Gao Lishi after you arrive in Chang'an, don't go to the right minister.
Now the attitude of the right minister is unclear, and it cannot be ruled out that he is now an enemy. ”
"Uh...... What did the marshal just say? Do you want to relocate the Jiedu envoy station to Shazhou? ”
Yan Zhuang thought that he had heard it wrong, the sentence before going to Chang'an, was it to relocate the residence of the Hexi Jiedu envoy?
"Not bad. A certain person wants to write to the imperial court, saying that Liangzhou is now not suitable as the station of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, and this section commander wants to relocate the station of the Hexi Jiedu envoy to Shazhou to help my Tang Dynasty attack the Western Regions. ”
Fang Chongyong said disapprovingly, and began to pick up the pen and write the draft.
"Jie Shuai! Liangzhou has been an important border town since the end of the Han Dynasty! In addition to Liangzhou, where else can Hexi be used as a station for the Jiedu envoy!
Shazhou is not suitable, not suitable! ”
Yan Zhuang was shocked, to say that the Fang Jieshuai in front of him would toss. Others don't dare to engage in sassy operations, he dares to play like this!
"I asked you, how is Shanzhou compared to Lanzhou?"
Fang Chongyong asked with a calm face.
Yan Zhuang was speechless, so he had to sigh lightly and said: "Lanzhou is rich, Shanzhou is naturally far from comparable, even if you don't go to the two places to investigate, you can understand." ”
"Then why is the station of the envoy of Longyou Jiedu in Shanzhou and not in Lanzhou?"
Fang Chongyong asked a question that hit the soul directly.
The defense area and garrison of the Jiedu envoy are all determined according to the military strategy, and it is not the case that the garrison is arranged wherever the place is rich.
The Longyou Jiedu envoy is a typical example.
Longyou Jiedu is stationed in Shanzhou, but this place is not to mention the second, and its prosperity is not as good as even Didao County in the south of Lanzhou!
Fang Chongyong proposed to relocate the residence of the envoy of the Hexi Jiedu to Dunhuang in Shazhou, so naturally he had his reasons.
"Isn't it necessary to be ......"
Thinking of a certain possibility, Yan Zhuang's complexion changed slightly. Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said, "You just need to understand it in your heart, don't say it." ”
"Understood."
Yan Zhuang sighed lightly, he already knew about the issuance of "Jiaozi", and these Fang Chongyong had already told him in the letter.
Fang Chongyong is a person who will not be intimidated when there are difficulties, but will find a way to solve them.
The location of the envoys in Hexi will greatly affect the distribution and dispatch of military resources in various parts of Hexi. According to the principle of the first month to get the moon near the water, the local powerful forces closer to the garrison will have their children to climb faster and have stronger influence when they enter the army west of the river.
In other words, this move will greatly affect the interests of large local investors.
I have to say that this Fang Jieshuai is really good at getting stuck in his neck.
"Tomorrow, the Japanese marshal will convene a meeting between the local big families and the generals of the various armies, and you will also attend at that time, and if there is anything, we will talk about it at that time."
Fang Chongyong didn't seem to want to talk more, so he sent Yan Zhuang away.
It's time to double the monthly pass, so vote for it
