Chapter 322: Whoever is not a guest is a dish

The next day, Fang Chongyong took He Changqi and several other cronies into Yiwu City, and saw Yuan Guangting, the assassin of Yizhou, who came to greet him, at the gate of the city, and immediately walked over and held the other party's hand tightly and laughed, and introduced to others: "In the past, Duke Yuan was just a town general in Liangzhou Jiaocheng, and today he is already the history of Yizhou assassin. ”

He Changqi and the others were dumbfounded, Fang Chongyong's connections in the northwest were really super invincible, he could catch acquaintances casually, and they were all big players.

Although Yuan Guangting was wearing the official robe of a civil official, he was still a military general, and he was also full of heroism, and the other party bravely clasped his fists and saluted: "The lower officials didn't expect Fang Jieshuai to come to Yizhou in person, so now they are much more relieved." ”

He was just about to mention the wind banquet, but Fang Chongyong hurriedly reminded: "Three days later, a big banquet will be held in Pu Shihai, and Yuan Yuanjun, the state master book, and the state Sima must be there in person. Ambassador Igo Jomoto will not go in. ”

Yuan Guangting nodded slightly, that kind of occasion is all official entertainment, there is nothing to say, just like now they can't say a lot of things openly.

"He Laohu, you go back and pass the order, this section commander has three new military orders.

Article 1: No one in the army is allowed to leave the camp without an order. Those who left the camp without a reason started with fifty military sticks, and those who entered the city of Yiwu without permission were beheaded.

Article 2: Quartermasters who are responsible for purchasing grain and heavy loads must give them to Jiaozi when they buy things locally, and they must not use their power to lower prices when they trade at market prices.

If you look for the government to buy it, you will give it to Yuan Tingshi, and if you find the people to buy it, you will give it to the people, and you must be sure that you are not bullied.

Thirdly, because the march accidentally trampled on the crops in the field, it was necessary to lose money. Deliberately stampede slashed. ”

Fang Chongyong gave He Changqi some instructions, and said it in front of Yuan Guangting, Yizhou Master and Sima, and did not shy away from it at all.

In fact, it can also be considered that it was deliberately said to these two people.

Sure enough, Yuan Guangting and the others saluted with admiration on their faces: "Fang Jieshuai's team is really a civilized and mighty army!" ”

Their last trace of worry was gone, and He Changqi, Guan Chongsi and others present also felt that there was light on their faces, and they were particularly proud in their hearts.

"Eh, how is that the team of the commander of this section, it is the forbidden army that belongs to the saints.

The saint is on the royal road in the Western Regions, and Yizhou is the royal paradise of my Tang Dynasty and the people, how can the people of Yizhou see the Anxi Expeditionary Army, just like they see a thief?

The face is given by others, but the face is lost by yourself. ”

Fang Chongyong waved his hand disappreciably and continued: "This ambassador will lead the troops to Pu Shihai, you take your leave, you don't have to go far." Two days later, please be sure to attend the banquet in Kamatami. ”

Yuan Guangting and the others bowed again, and watched Fang Chongyong lead people away.

When the group walked away, He Changqi, who was riding on the horse, gave a thumbs up and said: "Jie Shuai, your acting skills just now are so good, even the last general almost believed it." ”

"Acting?"

Fang Chongyong was stunned, he didn't act just now.

"That's right, when you just issued the military order, you were really dignified and awe-inspiring!"

He Changqi said with a smile.

Nima! Lao Tzu is serious, okay!

"Lao Tzu really asked you to pass the order!"

Fang Chongyong scolded with a smile.

"Fang Jieshuai, if you do this, the brothers don't think about it. Since the army was dispatched, the birds have faded out, and after eating the sand for so long, don't you just want to relax and relax. ”

Guan Chongsi on the side added.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!

I still want this section to teach you! One by one, they all slowly opened their eyes and watched carefully! ”

Fang Chongyong scolded the generals, patted the horse and ran forward, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with these Qiu Ba.

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and reality will educate these people, and it is useless to just talk about it now.

……

Pu Sea, in Fang Chongyong's previous life, here is called Balikun Lake, is a tourist attraction in Hami, Xinjiang. In the middle of summer, the lakes and mountains here are particularly charming.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was still a freshwater lake, but more than 1,000 years later, due to the continuous deterioration of the environment, it has become a saltwater lake where only algae can survive. To get to this place, you need to climb a mountain to reach it, and the altitude is much higher than the surrounding area.

The Pushi Sea is dozens of kilometers long and more than 20 kilometers wide, the area is not small, and the lake water is so clear that it is almost impossible to see the end at a glance.

In Yizhou, which is full of deserts, there is such a natural plateau lake, which is really surprising. It has also become a natural military camp: not only is there abundant water, many fish and shrimp, and abundant water and plants, but it is also condescending, which is of great strategic importance in military terms.

Camping here offers a panoramic view of the relatively low city of Yizhou and the nearby oasis farmland. Since the Tang Dynasty captured Yizhou, it has always been the barracks of the Yiwu Army, and it has not changed.

It can be seen from this that the series of arrangements made by Fu Meng Lingcha are indeed well-intentioned. Let the Anxi Expeditionary Force be stationed in the best location in Yizhou. Of course, this may also be because he knew that Fang Chongyong would soon leave Yizhou with the guest army, or even leave the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

The guests will stay soon, and the host will naturally not be stingy and take out the best things in the house to share. If Fang Chongyong wants to lead troops to be stationed in Yizhou, he is afraid that Fumeng Lingcha will have a different attitude.

Balikun Lake is formed by the confluence of natural springs around it, and according to the introduction of Fu Meng Lingcha, there is a mountain spring where the water is particularly sweet, so Fang Chongyong specially ordered someone to place his handsome tent near the mountain spring to facilitate the water.

In the evening of that day, standing next to the mountain spring, Fang Chongyong put his hands behind his back, looking at the beautiful scenery of the desert spring in the middle of summer, while thinking about the future strategy.

He Changqi, Duan Xiushi and others were all sent to do errands, and now the young general who is in charge of guarding him is one of the few people selected from Chang'an by the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army at the very beginning, and now he has become the top ten generals of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army.

Why is he the bodyguard?

Because the qualifications are old! That's right, it's the old qualifications! In the Tang Dynasty, when basic loyalty could be guaranteed and the personal strength shown was about the same, many times it was to climb to the middle level of the army with seniority!

At the beginning, when the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army had just been established and there were not a few people, this guy was selected, and later the Silver Spear Filial Piety Festival has been expanding the number of soldiers, and the first batch of people who were selected, as long as they are not hated by people, have also been promoted with the rising tide.

However, Fang Chongyong didn't know what the other party's name was, he only knew that this young man's surname was Che, and he was driving.

"Fang Jieshuai, this mountain spring is called Hangu Spring, which has some origins."

Behind Fang Chongyong, there was the voice of Che Shijun, which sounded very young.

"Oh? That's kind of interesting. You are from Guanzhong, how do you know about this mountain spring? ”

Fang Chongyong suddenly became interested, what he didn't know, a top ten general around him actually knew!

"Hui Jieshuai, the last general will know by reading books."

General Che replied, bowing his head and saluting with his hands a little embarrassed.

"Eh, don't be restrained, then tell me, what is the origin of this Hanguquan?"

Fang Chongyong asked with interest.

"When Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was in the Han Dynasty, there was a strange woman named Feng Yan in the Central Plains, who married Wusun far away, ran for the country, resolved the conflict many times, spread the culture of my Han family, and refused to stop when she was nearly seventy.

In order to commemorate her, later generations named the best spring in this Pu Sea after Hangu to commemorate her.

Of course, this is just the last general's words. ”

After speaking, Che Shijiang looked unsatisfied, and seemed to have something to say.

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly and smiled: "Go on, you are an old brother, you know the temper of this handsome." ”

"Okay, marshal, then the general will be bold and say.

The last general thought that the methods that the marshal came to Yizhou were all long-term and stable policies, and his foresight was no less than that of the sages, and victory was expected.

The commander wants to consolidate the defense of my Tang Dynasty's border fortress, so everything is targeted.

The so-called leopard in the cave can be seen. The marshal hangs the people for crimes, does something and does nothing, and the general thinks so.

The ambition of the marshal is never in burning, killing and looting.

There are five virtues for generals, which are called: wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness.

Persuade the Beiting to protect the wisdom of the words, the army does not enter the letter of the Yiwu words, and the brave and strong soldiers of the Yiwu army are benevolent, and the expeditionary army is not strict in the autumn.

Now Fang Jieshuai only needs to lead the expeditionary force to bravely enter Xiao Bolu, that is, all five virtues are ready, and it is not a problem to sweep the Western Regions and achieve great success. ”

Che Shijiang said a lot of things in a big way, and the summary is just four words: Festival Shuai Saigao!

Damn, this horse is a master! Although it is a sycophant, it is a good shot!

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but look the Che Shi General up and down, and suddenly found that this young officer was handsome and extraordinary, and he also had some elegance on his body, which was quite different from ordinary Qiu Ba in the army.

He only knew the other party's surname Che before, and never knew what his name was, so he coughed lightly and asked, "That, you are Che ......"

"The last general's name is Che Guangqian, a martial artist from Shaanxi, the first batch to enter the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, he was familiar with reading poetry and books when he was young, and now he is skilled in bows and horses, and the other party is loyal!"

Che Guangqian hurriedly said loyally.

Is this a sycophant? No, this is just a close relationship with the direct leader, and it is a matter of life and death in the army.

There is no shame at all.

In this era, servicemen only need to pay attention to two things: kill the enemy and at the same time not be killed by the enemy.

All of these actions revolve around these two things.

And if you have a good relationship with your direct leader, you can obviously get better cover at critical moments, does this improve your survival probability?

So Che Guangqian's heart is very transparent and knows what she should and should not do.

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly quietly, this person's name is a bit of a mother, no wonder I haven't heard his name much before. This guy is not obvious on weekdays, but he is constantly observing and thinking. Sure enough, inside the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army is the Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger!

No wonder he stood out from the Shence Army at the beginning, Fang Chongyong remembered that he didn't pick many people at the beginning.

"Your ancestor, isn't that the ......?"

Fang Chongyong showed an expression of sudden realization, but saw Che Guangqian smiled bitterly: "Yes, my colleagues all said that they caught fireflies." ”

The Che Yin of the idiom "Che Yin Bao Firefly" is their ancestor.

This was a sensation at the time, but now it seems that the routine has long been outdated and that is it. Especially in the eyes of the Qiu Ba, if you have time to study, you don't have time to study, but you go to catch fireflies as lanterns, which is not idle.

It is a typical performance art of the Maison era.

It's just the lonely self-appreciation of the literati, and other people, who would really think that this is doing serious things?

This is all the "intangible heritage" deliberately created for himself in order to fight for a "studious" character in that era! Similarly, there are "lying on the ice for carp", "chiseling the wall to borrow light" and so on.

A poet like Du Fu may like to blow this, who cares if the ancestors of the Ling family have caught fireflies or not!

"There's a dinner tonight, you come to me to help pour the wine. Keep your mouth shut, your ears pricked up, and watch and learn. ”

Fang Chongyong patted Che Guangqian's shoulder and said earnestly.

"Xie Jieshuai cultivates!"

Che Guangqian was overjoyed, she didn't expect the opportunity to enter the inner circle of the army, so it came!

In his opinion, He Changqi is quite fierce in fighting, but in addition to fighting, it is a bit ...... No, it should be said that it is quite rough.

……

Just after nightfall, the high-level officials of the Yiwu Army, including the military envoy and the deputy military envoy, the deputy protector of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, Meng Lingcha, Ma Lan and others, all gathered in Fang Chongyong's tent.

The crowd spread a blanket on the ground and sat down on the floor. The so-called "wine banquet" is nothing more than some local seasonal melons and fruits in Yizhou, as well as sliced mutton sprinkled with coarse salt after roasting.

The sake is also purchased at the nearby market in Igo Castle, and the quality is quite average.

For it is not for the purpose of eating today.

"When I was still living in my hometown, I heard the proverb that whoever is not a guest is a dish.

I don't know what you guys think? ”

Fang Chongyong picked up the wooden wine glass, but he refused to drink it, just looked around at everyone and asked with interest.

Everyone present looked thoughtful.

Only He Changqi said with a big grin: "Jieshuai's words can be described as easy to understand, if you don't sit at the table, it will naturally become someone else's meal, the so-called weak and strong are nothing more than that." ”

People are swords, I am fish and meat, this is easy to understand.

What is difficult to understand is why Fang Chongyong said this on this occasion.

It's more intriguing.

"Fang Jieshuai, all the people present at the banquet are rough people, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Fu Meng Lingcha smiled awkwardly.

"I, Datang, want to follow the royal road in the Western Regions, so that this vast area will become a royal paradise. It's just ......"

Fang Chongyong paused for a moment, and saw that everyone's eyes were on him, so he smiled slightly and continued:

"It's just that the grain, water, mineral deposits, and wealth of the Western Regions are all counted. Whoever takes more, someone will surely take less. Even if it's Datang, you can't treat everyone equally, right? The limited land cannot support the people of all ethnic groups.

Besides, there are many small countries in the Western Regions, some of which are now states and counties of the Tang Dynasty, and their citizens are already the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Some have not yet been organized into households, and there are even some small countries that have bad intentions.

Datang's kindness is also selective and biased. It will only bathe in certain places, on some people who respect Datang and are willing to dedicate themselves to Datang.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this is the truth? ”

Fang Chongyong said unhurriedly.

This has been said very explicitly.

Those who are willing to stand on the side of Datang can go to the table and get a piece of the pie.

People who are not willing to stand on the side of Datang, then they are sorry, they can only become dishes on the table.

Because the resources of the Western Regions are limited.

The faces of everyone in the handsome tent changed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression, figuring out the intention of Fang Chongyong's words.
