"It's really a Spring Festival moment worth a thousand gold!"

The next morning, Fang Chongyong slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and glanced at Anaye, who was paralyzed on the bed and tired and didn't wake up, and his pretty face was still with tears, and he couldn't help but smile.

Thanks to the fact that she is still wearing a "orchid" skin, her combat effectiveness is weak, and sure enough, the bonus of the "profession" attribute cannot be ignored.

The fighting power of the orchid stems from practicing dance day and night, not from any bloodline.

After he washed up, he came to the small hall of the house, and saw Zhang Mi with two dark circles under his eyes, under He Changqi's oppressive gaze, he was in a state of mind. Although it was a sunny day outside, there was only fatigue on his face.

"Zhang Gongtai came to visit this section commander early in the morning, I don't know what happened?"

Fang Chongyong lazily sat on a cushioned stool and asked lightly. He Changqi on the side couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and covered his mouth again.

This scene made Zhang Mi, who had been blowing a cold wind in the hall all night, look embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to get into. He said with a strong smile on his face: "Fang Jieshuai said that he laughed, he came to visit last night with an urgent matter, and he heard that Jieshuai had already rested, so he waited here, not daring to disturb Jieshuai." ”

Zhang Mi's attitude was very humble, which was diametrically opposed to the indifference at the banquet last night.

It can be called a compliment.

"Go and hang a sign outside the door, and say that this section is closed today."

Fang Chongyong gave a shout to the He Changqi branch beside him.

"Whoa!"

He Changqi took the order and left.

Fang Chongyong looked at Zhang Milai at this time, he seemed to have been slapped in the face, the bruises at the corners of his mouth were looming, his hair was unkempt, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"Fang Jieshuai, in fact, it was inconvenient to explain the inside story in person last night, please forgive me. These are the lists of grain and straw that the Zhang clan has to support the Anxi Expeditionary Army, and they will be sent to the camp today. ”

Zhang Mi took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Fang Chongyong.

"Oh? That's kind of interesting. ”

Fang Chongyong took the envelope, put it aside without looking at it, and looked down at the table casually, as if waiting for Zhang Mi's so-called "explanation".

"Jie Shuai, the Zhang clan gave food to the expeditionary army and supported the expedition to the Western Regions, and we have no opinion on this at all.

However, the Western Regions business license that was invested in Jie Shuaiti, our Zhang family still has great concerns. ”

Zhang Mi said in a low voice, it seemed that there was something he wanted to say, but it was not convenient to speak, and he refused to go directly to the base.

"The power of the Liangzhou An clan is so great, so big that you are pinned down like this by them, don't you dare to tell the truth to this section commander?"

Fang Chongyong asked with a sneer.

Hearing this, Zhang Mi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Jieshuai is right, the An clan is seeking to change the commander of the imperial court, maybe after the commander conquers the Western Regions, someone from the An clan will come to pick peaches." Therefore, they welcome the Shazhou big families to support the expeditionary force, but they don't want us to participate in the affairs led by the marshal. ”

As expected.

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly, but he sighed in his heart, and the doubts he had been asking for a long time were finally realized. From the refusal of the Liangzhou An clan to send the children of the family to participate in the expeditionary force, we can see the clues. An Chongzhang, who actively participated in the Chishui Army against Tibet, did not mention the expeditionary force this time, let alone participated in it.

This expedition to the Western Regions, the Liangzhou Anshi, which has been entrenched in Liangzhou for more than 100 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, is the most damaged stakeholder. In the past, the Liangzhou An clan relied on his background in Zhaowu Jiu, and had some connections in the west of the Green Mountains, occupying a favorable location and people in the Western Regions, and reaping a lot of benefits.

The surname Zhaowu Jiu is a descendant of the Yue people, and the relationship network of this group is very complex, and the scale of the group is also very large. Anaye's mother is from it, but can it be said that Anaye is an acquaintance of the Liangzhou An family?

This kind of network is similar to someone's cousin's sister-in-law's second brother's colleague's nanny family. It is not based on blood popularity, but on the bond of interests based on mutual benefit.

The Zhaowu nine surnames in the Western Regions need the Liangzhou An family's relationship network in the high-level of the Tang Dynasty, and the Liangzhou An family also needs the Zhaowu nine surnames in the Western Regions to continue to provide them with relatively cheap goods in the Western Regions.

What Fang Chongyong wants to do this time is to establish a model of "license", "equity participation" and "equal sharing of interests and risks", so that the middle and upper levels of the entire Hexi can participate. Not only can the scale of commerce be expanded, but it also dominates the rules of the game.

This greatly harmed the interests of Liangzhou An's!

Although An's people didn't know what Fang Chongyong wanted to do before, they also expected it, so they greeted the people of Shazhou Zhang's family. This is also the reason why Zhang Mi did not say a word at the banquet and seemed to be observing the situation.

Because he didn't know what Fang Chongyong wanted to do, and whether the Zhang family could participate in it.

What Fang Chongyong said, with Zhang Mi's limited wisdom, he is not sure how much benefit he can bring to his own family.

However, he could be sure that the matter mentioned by Fang Chongyong must have far crossed the red line drawn by the Liangzhou An clan!

In the game of Western Regions Commerce, the An family used to be able to influence the pricing power of the Hu merchants in the Western Regions. Now that the pricing power game is dominated by Fang Chongyong, one game has become a new game with many competitions, and even if An Shi is also involved, he is still the one who suffers the most!

Lao Tzu used to enjoy a luxurious lunch alone, and the rest of the food could be used as a reward for the next person. Now it has become a table of people eating half a table of dishes, and you have to be quick and have good eyes, otherwise you won't be able to grab good dishes.

Can this be endured?

Blocking people's money is like killing your parents!

I have to say that for Liangzhou An's, this is a life-and-death competition.

Unless the An family is willing to shrink its sphere of influence and be a local family in Liangzhou with peace of mind, guarding their own one-third of an acre, the conflict between the two is inevitable.

The key is to see how to conflict, where to conflict, and what kind of rules of the game to conflict!

There can be no vacuum of power, and when there is a vacuum, it will be filled by something else.

Fang Chongyong wanted to do something big in the Western Regions, but the original power structure in the Western Regions was stable. Then this means that if he wants to achieve his goal, he will inevitably break stability and will inevitably infringe on the core interests of certain forces!

An open struggle with the surface of the water is inevitable.

"Fang Jieshuai, after returning home yesterday, I discussed it with the clan elders. They unanimously agreed that Fang Jieshuai was from his hometown and could be trusted.

We can withstand the pressure from Liangzhou An's side, as long as Fang Jieshuai can withstand it, we will not retreat. ”

Zhang Mi gritted his teeth and promised.

Gifts and everything are polite, this sentence is the only reason why he refused to leave after a cold night in the humble hall!

Whether it is Fang Chongyong or the Anxi Expeditionary Army, there is no shortage of those three melons and two dates, what people want is just attitude! No one wants a heavyweight family with an unclear attitude and a stab in the back!

"Alas! Shazhou Zhang's is really well aware of righteousness! ”

Fang Chongyong said with emotion, obviously only half of Zhang Mi's words, and also stopped talking, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

As the saying goes: listen to their words and watch their deeds.

He listened to Zhang Mi's words now, but he didn't have time to watch Zhang's trip, and the army was about to march to the Western Regions.

Now Zhang's empty mouth and white teeth have promised well, and they have also given the military rations and baggage, and participated in the great cause of the "Western Regions Commerce and Trade Development Company".

But who can guarantee that they are not doing it perfunctorily and cheaply?

In the future, if they are stabbed in the back, the benefits they have lost now, Liangzhou An's can actually make up for it, and it can even be doubled!

Therefore, Zhang's current statement does not guarantee his loyalty!

Probably taking into account Fang Chongyong's hesitation, Zhang Mi patted his chest and promised: "If Fang Jieshuai still has doubts and needs the Zhang family to do something, you can just ask." ”

"Well, there is really a big thing in this section, and I want the Zhang family to come forward to do it."

Fang Chongyong said to Zhang Mi without smiling.

"Commander, please speak!"

Zhang Mi also let go, and asked solemnly.

"Earlier this year, Pinglu Jiedu assassinated An Lushan. Although it is not known how he died, Ben Shuai has some evidence of his intended rebellion. ”

Fang Chongyong said slowly.

Zhang Mi showed a strange look on his face, and he didn't follow Chongyong's train of thought above.

A Hebei Jiedu envoy wants to rebel, why are you telling me this?

Suddenly, he noticed a small detail and suddenly realized.

"Fang Jieshuai, you mean An's ......"

Zhang Mi asked in a low voice.

"That's right, An Lushan wrote a letter to the Liangzhou An family, asking them to agree to rebel together for the sake of the same clan.

Hexi and Youzhou are reversed together, and the Western Regions Zhaowu has nine surnames and twenty countries! ”

Fang Chongyong said sonorously!

Where is the evidence for what he said?

Don't ask, it's all confidential.

But the evidence that An Lushan wantonly bought people's hearts and established private forces in Hebei, Fang Chongyong not only has, but also first-hand information given by Fang Youde!

Now that An Lushan is dead, just put some on him, anyway, it is impossible for the dead to stand up and defend themselves, let alone hammer the truth!

To say that he is, he is, and he is not!

"Fang Jieshuai is saying that let a certain report to the imperial court, saying that Liangzhou An's affair with An Lushan is plotting against him?"

Zhang Mi asked suspiciously, so frightened that her legs and stomach were trembling.

"No, this section commander didn't let you report this.

It's just that you are asked to expose to the imperial court in the name of the Zhang family in Shazhou, saying that An Lushan wrote such a letter to the An family in Liangzhou, which happened to be intercepted by the Zhang family's people!

You found out that the matter was very important, and you specially informed the court of the truth. As for how Liangzhou An's is, you don't evaluate, I don't know, and there is no cooperation! ”

Fang Chongyong waved his hand disappreciably and said.

Is there a problem with Liangzhou An's?

No one knows if there is one, and it is not good to say, anyway, An Lushan wrote them a letter of rebellion, and one of the leaked letters was obtained by the Zhang family in Shazhou.

As for whether Liangzhou An's is a loyal minister, and whether he colluded with An Lushan, no one can prove this, right?

What if? After all, only they know what they really think!

This letter, which seems to be very likely to be forged, will form a "nine truths and one false" killing game if it is accompanied by a series of real evidence about An Lushan!

How can Liangzhou An's prove his innocence?

Is it to prove to Brother Ji that they have henchmen in the DPRK, and many of their children are officials in the DPRK, and they are already "sharing weal and woe with the country", and it is impossible to rebel at all?

Or do they prove to Brother Ji that they are also deeply related to the Chishui Army generals, and even have the children of the family as deputy military envoys and are in charge of the Hexi military circles?

Or does it prove that they have close ties with the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and they can get some valuable goods at low prices, which has a decisive impact on the livelihood of the people in Hexi?

No matter what Brother Ji would think, Fang Chongyong figured it out by himself anyway.

If he sees such a report letter, he will have to mix a handful of sand in Liangzhou no matter what, and he can't let Liangzhou An's be happy and continue to sit big locally!

Brother Ji was vaccinated by this report letter, and when the Liangzhou An clan operated the forces of the DPRK and China again, and suggested that the Western Regions Expeditionary Force change the commander, what would Brother Ji or the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty center think?

The answer is self-explanatory.

As for whether this report letter is true or not, and who is manipulating Zhang's behind the scenes, it is actually on the surface. The Datang Center would not have guessed that this was Fang Chongyong operating in it, and could even guess that the letter was forged.

But what does it matter?

Regardless of whether An is innocent or not, Fang Chongyong's goal has been achieved!

The center of the imperial court hopes to see different voices in the west, and also hopes that there will be a struggle in the west of the river so that they can restrain each other!

"Good! Zhang will definitely do this! Please give this letter to me. ”

Zhang Mi gritted his teeth and said.

Fang Chongyong shook his head, took out a piece of stationery from the bookshelf, and said to Zhang Mi: "You only need to write a letter of guarantee on it, stamp it with your handprint, and sign your name." Anything else, you don't need to worry about it. Anyway, you also report Liangzhou An's to this section commander, and the rest of the things will be handled by this section commander. ”

Ha?

Zhang Mi was still lucky, and wanted to go home and everyone would discuss it before making a decision, but he didn't expect Fang Chongyong to do things without leakage, and he didn't give Zhang any chance to "be flexible" at all!

Now there are only two options in front of Zhang Mi:

Either get on the thief ship and completely fall out with Liangzhou An's!

Either don't get on board and wait for Fang Chongyong's crazy revenge afterwards!

There is no intermediate state to choose, and there is no compromise to choose all.

Do it or die!

"To live or to perish, this is a question that needs to be considered.

It stands to reason that this section should give you time to think. However, the military affairs are urgent, and every day of delay of the expeditionary force consumes countless materials, which are all people's fat and people's anointment.

What does Zhang Gongtai think? ”

Fang Chongyong looked at Zhang Mi with a smile and asked, his tone was already a little impatient.

"Okay, it's just a guarantee, I'll write it here."

Zhang Mi was evil and courageous, and he knew that if he didn't write this "guarantee", this matter would probably not be good. After all, after learning such a big secret, if it weren't for the people on the same boat, could Fang Chongyong leave Zhang's people overnight?

Keeping Zhang's to report to the people of Liangzhou An's?

I'm afraid that today is the day when the Zhang family will be destroyed.

Zhang Mi sharpened the ink by himself and wrote down a letter of guarantee with a pen. The above said that the attached secret letter of An Lushan's rebellion is true, and the Zhang family can guarantee it, etc. At the same time, he also handed over the family token of the Zhang family of Liangzhou to Fang Chongyong, which was a white mutton fat jade pendant with exquisite texture.

After getting what he wanted, Fang Chongyong nodded with satisfaction and said: "The Zhang family is worthy of being the first good family in my Shazhou, and when they found out that the Liangzhou An family was plotting against them, they reported their possible conspiracy to this section commander. It's really an example of a big local household! This section commander must play the Ming court, and the court will have its own reward in the future. ”

"It is our obligation to maintain the governance of the imperial court, why do you need to reward it, Fang Jieshuai is really polite."

Zhang Mi said with a helpless face, this can be regarded as offending Liangzhou An's to death.

If Fang Chongyong's expedition to the Western Regions was unsuccessful, he would not be able to inflict heavy damage on the Liangzhou Anshi. Then their Zhang people will not be able to do business in Hexi in the future, so they will honestly guard their own one-third of an acre.

Liangzhou An's revenge will be unbearable for them.

But from another point of view, at this time, with Fang Chongyong's line, in the future, as Fang Chongyong's official position becomes bigger and bigger, and his power becomes greater and greater, he can also give Shazhou Zhang's maximum protection.

When the time comes, whether you will be frightened or fake, you will have to wait and see.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mi sighed, and the other party bowed his hand and said goodbye, feeling in his heart, like a woman from a good family forced to go to the sea.
