Fu Meng Lingcha's image is really not good in Fang Chongyong's opinion.

Ignoring the loose hair, the person had dark skin, apparently caused by excessive UV exposure. Not only that, but his horse face, with a pair of small eyes, is quite vicious and sinister, which is really not good.

"Why is General Fumeng so embarrassed?"

Fang Chongyong stood up from the stool and asked pretending to be surprised. Its movements are so agile that it doesn't seem to have any problems with its legs and feet.

Fu Meng Lingcha raised his eyebrows, looked embarrassed and did not speak.

This young ambassador of the Western Regions is really a wonderful person, and he doesn't even bother to pretend!

"The last general doesn't know that the ambassador is sick, and he has come to the camp to ask for his guilt."

Fu Meng Lingcha bowed and saluted, not mentioning the details of Fang Chongyong's pretending that his feet were burned by the sand.

Marching in the desert, walking barefoot under the scorching sun will indeed burn your feet, after all, the surface temperature is more than 60 degrees Celsius when it is hottest, can you not burn?

But this kind of thing can be done until the point, and there is no need to debunk it. Otherwise, Fang Chongyong would be embarrassed, and Fu Meng Lingcha would not be good.

"General Fumeng is polite, come on, lead General Fumeng to wash up, don't be rude."

Fang Chongyong shouted to He Changqi, who was on duty outside the door.

Now Fu Meng Lingcha is unkempt, and people who don't know the inside story are afraid that they still think that he was poisoned in Fang Chongyong's camp.

In the social etiquette of normal people, both parties are dry and tidy when meeting guests, which is the minimum way of hospitality.

Fu Meng Lingcha and Wufu were in a hurry, and they might not care about this, but Fang Chongyong can now be said to be the number one military and political leader in the Western Regions, and he can't help but give the other party decency.

After a while, Fumeng Lingcha entered the tent again, this time his hair had been tied, the dust and dirt on his face had been washed away, and his military uniform had also been changed, and he looked much more "solemn" than before.

After the two of them sat down, Fang Chongyong and Fu Meng Lingcha looked at each other, waiting for the other party to speak first.

After waiting for a long time, Fu Meng Lingcha couldn't help but ask: "Ambassador Fang came to Yizhou with 10,000 people from the Anxi Expeditionary Force, what happened?" The official documents of the imperial court were only general, and the last general was uneasy, and the hearts of the people in the army were also fluctuating, worried that the ambassador would seize their military power. Please also let the Ambassador know. ”

Fu Meng Lingcha asked with some hesitation.

The large establishment of the three armies of the three states of Beiting, a large number of small formations of guards, among which there are many people who can recruit and fight, it is difficult to say whether they are worried about being seized of military power, but Fu Meng Lingcha himself must be very worried about being seized of military power!

Hearing this, Fang Chongyong waved his hand disappreliantly and said: "This ambassador came to the Western Regions is the order of the sage, and the purpose is to sweep away the thorns in the Western Regions who are not obedient to the Tang Dynasty's royal way, and will not deprive Anxi and Beiting of the military power of the soldiers and horses. ”

Receiving the hope answer in his heart, Fu Meng Lingcha breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he could still communicate effectively by talking to the ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy in front of him. Since the general principles are the same, then what is going on later, we can talk about it under this general principle.

Fu Meng Lingcha was afraid that the imperial court wanted Fang Chongyong to reorganize the army, completely control the Tang army in Anxi and Beiting Second Town, rearrange the military and political structure, redeploy the troops, and rearrange the main generals of each army and the personnel in key positions in the army.

If it really comes to that point, he, the deputy capital of the North Court, will protect ...... It is estimated that he has to deliberately pick on his own, and he will have to create some trouble for Fang Chongyong. If not, who else in the Tang Army will take him seriously in the future?

A manly man, you can't be arbitrarily kneaded and arranged by others, capable people have tempers!

"According to the deployment of the sage, this ambassador has the right to dispatch troops from various armies in the northwest court of Anxi, but the specific operations and personnel arrangements of the army are still in the responsibility of the original border generals, that is, the capital guards of Anxi and the capital of the north court are in charge.

Therefore, General Fumeng does not need to worry, this ambassador will not arbitrarily manipulate the personnel arrangements of the second town of Anbei Ting. ”

Fang Chongyong said with relief.

As soon as he heard this, Fu Meng Lingcha immediately nodded slightly with a bitter face, and was embarrassed to tell the truth.

He pretended not to care and said: "In this way, the officers and men of the three armies of Beiting can train with peace of mind and wait for the country to serve." ”

Fang Chongyong had something to say, Fu Meng Lingcha couldn't resist, and he didn't want to suffer, so he could only pretend to be confused and pretend not to understand, and buried his head in the sand like an ostrich.

The Zhengdu Protector of Anxi and Beiting was all led from afar, and his people were far away in Chang'an, and they didn't know what was going on in the Western Regions, and it was impossible to talk about ordering the adjustment of personnel appointments. The deputy protector manages daily affairs, but it is only a "temporary generation".

This in itself is a "stopgap measure" because the exercise of power is not in the absence of Zhengdu.

Now that Fang Chongyong, the ambassador of the Western Regions, has arrived, although this official position is temporary, theoretically he also has the power to control all military and political affairs in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. Fang Chongyong can ignore it, but he has the right to intervene and take full responsibility for the accident, so he can naturally dispose of the parties at will.

It is such a "concurrent" relationship of power and responsibility.

The current situation is that there are advantages and disadvantages between temporary formal appointments and long-term temporary powers. But from the ruler's point of view, he may prefer the former to be effective and the latter to be too strong.

The deputy always wants to be regular, what do you want the emperor and the prime minister to think?

Fumeng Lingcha didn't want to rebel, and it was impossible for Datang to succeed in rebellion on the surface, and Fang Chongyong still had more than 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, so it was impossible to put it in the air.

Therefore, Fu Meng Lingcha really didn't have any good way to force up to this ambassador of the Western Regions, so he could only cooperate with the other party and work together, but begged the other party not to go too far.

It's just that many times, this kind of situation of "guest troops fighting in different places" is not a good thing for the local bureaucrats, and there will be some accidents, not to mention the parachuting of a top boss!

Fang Chongyong's identity, as well as the elite soldiers he carried, these people went to the Western Regions more like operating according to the political habits before the Tang Dynasty, and the generals sent by the center led the imperial forbidden army to command the side.

During the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, the territory of the Western Regions had been solidified, or in other words, the Tang Dynasty could not play any flowers here. The border generals of the Western Regions are completely different from the previous government soldier periods, and the marching commander and the ambassador of the economic strategy have expanded their territory in the frontier on behalf of the imperial court.

At that time, the army was temporary, and after the battle, the division had to return to the court, and the government soldiers returned to their respective homes; And now the border troops are all on duty in the local area, and they are related to the locals, which has a strong regional color.

In today's era, the forbidden army and the border army have gradually formed two systems that are not compatible with each other. This time, the imperial court did not have a full-time protector of Anxi and Beiting, but this is only deliberately reducing differences, but it does not mean that the differences have disappeared.

Just like the current disagreement between Fang Chongyong and Fu Meng Lingcha, the first thing is a question of who commands whom.

You don't have to be born or die, but you must be superior!

"General Fumeng came just in time, and this section commander also wanted to talk to the general in detail."

Fang Chongyong suddenly restrained his smile and stopped being polite and said.

Seeing that the other party was about to get down to business, Fu Meng Lingcha also put away his smile, and the other party hugged his fists and saluted: "Ambassador Fang, please speak, the last general will definitely fully cooperate." ”

"Eh, General Fumeng is too nervous, it's not a matter of war."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand, and suddenly slapped his slap twice and shouted outside the military tent: "Come on, bring the gifts!" ”

He Changqi was in front, with two personal soldiers, carrying a large box in, and then quietly withdrew from the military tent.

Fu Meng Lingcha looked at the big wooden box in front of him with a puzzled expression, and didn't say a word, waiting for Fang Chongyong to explain.

"The Anxi Expeditionary Force can be regarded as an away battle, and it still has to use the grain and straw here in Beiting, which will cause you a lot of trouble.

Although these are all grains of the imperial court, there is no way to misappropriate them.

The accounts belong to the accounts, and they are handled by their own support.

However, the ambassador as a guest, and the Anxi expeditionary force, as a guest army, cannot come empty-handed. ”

Fang Chongyong walked over and opened the big wooden box, only to see that it was full of Jiaozi of different denominations, the smallest consistent, the largest one hundred times! Fu Meng Lingcha's eyes are straight!

In fact, the Jiaozi of Hexi has been circulated in the three states of Beiting on a small scale, and it is very popular with Hu merchants in the Western Regions.

Why is this so?

In fact, the reason is very simple, the Western Regions are full of deserts, and the Hu merchants in the Western Regions take the money and drag the goods to Datang to do business, do they hope that the currency in their hands is very heavy and it is difficult to hold it, or do they hope that the currency has almost no weight, so that they can bring more Western Regions goods on the road, and even bring more dry food and water?

The answer is obvious, as long as the business of exchanging silk in Hexi is not hindered, and the Jiaozi in Hexi is not indiscriminate, then this thing can be strictly controlled in Datang very smoothly, and the three states of Beiting where the households are compiled are normal.

After all, although the Western Regions are vast, the distance from Yizhou to Guazhou is not that far.

So of course Fumeng Lingcha knows what Jiaozi is! He himself uses it from time to time!

"Ambassador Fang, what do you mean by this?"

Fu Meng Lingcha asked with some vigilance, and said unceremoniously, this stepping on the horse is a bribe!

"I want to recruit warriors from the Beiting Army to join the army and enter the Anxi Expeditionary Force. These are the rewards for their expeditions, 50 per soldier and 100 per colonel.

The other soldiers who did not go on the expedition, ten of them always bought some wine to drink. If there is really a little left, then it will be divided between General Fumeng and the generals and colonels in the army who do not participate in the expeditionary force. ”

Fang Chongyong said indifferently.

Give a sweet date as soon as you come! Fu Meng Lingcha showed a thoughtful expression, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

If the money is given to the officer, it is a bribe, because Fang Chongyong did not say what the source of the money is.

From this point of view, this money is hot to hold!

But if Fang Chongyong's move is to go out on the expedition and select people from the army to join the army, then this money is likely to be "life money".

On the contrary, you can't help but accept it!

Seeing that Fu Meng Lingcha did not speak, Fang Chongyong took out the holy decree that Ji Ge had given him from his cuffs and handed it to Fu Meng Lingcha for observation.

"The sage ordered so, this money ambassador can actually not give it, and keep it for me to run a farm house in Chang Settlement, which is also very nourishing.

However, the soldiers are about to be born and die, and many people may have to be buried in other places. This amount of money can still make their parents, wives and children live more easily.

What does General Fumon think? ”

Fang Chongyong asked earnestly.

"That'...... Ambassador Fang's kindness was accepted by the generals for the sons and daughters of the three states of Beiting. ”

Fu Meng Lingcha was not pretentious, nodded slightly and said, and the other party Chongyong looked at him differently.

The person who can have this kind of skill is definitely a veteran who has been in the border town for many years, and is definitely not the bureaucrat in the center who has a low eye and a low level of skill and does not know the suffering of the border town.

"Ambassador Fang, there will be a proposal at the end."

After thinking for a while, Fu Meng Lingcha suddenly spoke.

"General Fumeng, please speak."

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly.

"Near the Kamokai Sea in the northwest of Igo Castle is the garrison of the Igo Army. The scenery is beautiful, the water is abundant, the pastures are luxuriant, and there are many fish to catch in the sea of catfish.

Why don't Ambassador Fang take the Anxi Expeditionary Force to camp next to the Pu Sea, hold a banquet after the sun sets, and then select sharp soldiers from the Yiwu Army by the way? ”

Pu Kai is where the Igo army is stationed, and although it is called "sea", it is actually a lake with a large area. Because of the water, the local arid climate has been alleviated, and the natural conditions are the most comfortable in Illinois.

Fang Chongyong took the army to Pu Shihai, held a banquet and announced the conscription by the way, which also saved a lot of trouble.

After the conscription is completed, the Anxi Expeditionary Force can go to Xizhou to station, and Fumeng Lingcha will also follow Fang Chongyong to Xizhou, send them out of the boundary of Beiting Duhufu, and then return to Tingzhou from Xizhou.

All in all, it is necessary to serve Fang Chongyong, the "great god" sent by the imperial court, before sending him away, so as not to cause trouble.

Fang Chongyong is easy to talk now, it doesn't mean that he will always be good at talking.

Fu Meng Lingcha knew very well in his heart that it was better for such a person to be far away from the feudal officials of the border towns. In terms of age, Fang Chongyong has no problem calling him uncle; But in terms of officialdom, it is the husband who should call his father.

"That's fine, it's not early, General Fumeng, please go back to Yiwu City, this ambassador will go to the government tomorrow, if there is anything, we will talk about it then."

Fang Chongyong saw that his goal had been achieved, and got up to see off the guests. After a few polite words, Fu Meng Lingcha was politely sent out of the camp by Fang Chongyong.

……

In the handsome tent, He Changqi, Duan Xiushi, Guan Chongsi and others did not look very good-looking, and the word "prisoner" engraved on Duan Xiushi's face looked particularly hideous under the firelight.

"Fang Jieshuai, those Jiaozi are our military expenses, so you gave Fu Meng Lingcha? Didn't you say that you would give military tickets, and let those Beiting border army generals go to the west to grab them! ”

He Changqi's tone was quite dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. Fang Chongyong's behavior was like digging meat in their hearts.

That's a pain!

"Jie Shuai, what He Laohu said is not unreasonable, we really don't need to be so polite to the soldiers and horses of Beiting.

You want to say that the selection of Beiting sergeant into the Anxi Expeditionary Force will give a levy, and this general agrees. But for those who don't attend, there's no need to invite them to a bar? That's a lot of money. ”

Duan Xiushi also made up for it.

In their opinion, these Jiaozi should have belonged to their "descendants", how could they give it to the Beiting Army in the Western Regions for nothing!

"Eh, you don't understand, this is called casting a long line to catch a big fish."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said.

The three of them were stunned, not knowing what Fang Chongyong wanted to do.

"Hexi Jiaozi's position in the three states of Beiting is not stable. This wave of Jiaozi is sprinkled out, which is equivalent to expanding the scope of use of Jiaozi. Facilitate our follow-up.

The three states of Beiting are not as good as the twenty countries of Green Ridge, and this is still the basic plate of my Datang, so I can't mess around. ”

Fang Chongyong shook his head with a smile and continued: "You guys, don't keep staring at the one-third of an acre of land in front of you. If you want to make a child, after returning to Hexi, I will open it to you and seal it, are you afraid that you will have no money? ”

If you want to take it, you must give it first.

This is a very simple truth, but in practice, many people always count on getting something for nothing, hoping that others will support them unconditionally.

Even fishing has to put bait, this group of Qiu Ba's linear thinking is: Because Lao Tzu has a knife in his hand, as long as I think, your things are Lao Tzu. It's polite enough if I don't rob it, how can I take out my own money and give it to you?

Fang Chongyong has also become accustomed to this.

Of course, just because you think it's normal doesn't mean it's right. Fang Chongyong's visit to the Western Regions this time was to grasp the political and military affairs, and he was both sides. I didn't think that it would be unrealistic to rely on a knife to cut from Yizhou to the Persian Protectorate.

He wasn't going to indulge these hiundles either.

"Three days later, in Pu Shihai, let the sons and daughters drink and eat meat to relax. Then prepare for a big competition of the whole army and teach the Yiwu army in Yizhou a good lesson.

Whoever loses the face of this handsome section will not be able to eat and walk around when the time comes. ”

Fang Chongyong looked around at everyone and clenched his fists and said fiercely.
