"Ahh Let go! Hurt! Let go! ”

"Spare your life, spare your life, what are you doing here? Ahh ”

There were non-stop screams and begging for mercy at the city gate, and the king rarely grabbed a Qiu Ba wearing the uniform of the Anxi Army, grabbed his long hair, and dragged him the ground!

The man screamed in pain, and crawled behind Wang Rare, looking very embarrassed.

And dozens of Tang soldiers and soldiers who were guarded by Zhang Sancheng were all holding their arms and crossbows, aiming at Wang's rare back in formation, and they did not dare to shoot with rat throwers. The scene in front of them is too visually impactful, and the high-ranking guards on weekdays are grabbed and begged for mercy like a dog, which makes them scared.

Of course, there is another important reason why they don't dare to act rashly, that is, the people on the side of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army don't know when they have already put on their horses and are ready to charge into battle. It's obvious that the visitor is not good.

As long as Fang Chongyong gives an order, an infighting between the Tang army will be inevitable!

Wang Rare dragged the man in front of Fang Chongyong, kicked him to the ground, and trampled him on the ground. Half of this person's face was in the sand, and tears came out of the pain.

"Jie Shuai, this guy is Zheng Dequan! At the beginning, it was this turtle son who stopped him from letting a certain brother with a signal flag go to Yanqi Town.

The tone of his voice is still very arrogant! ”

Wang said with a sinister face.

For Qiu Ba in the Tang Dynasty, never underestimate their ability to do things; Of course, never overestimate their moral floor. They never move their fists when they can use knives, and they never move their mouths when they can move their fists.

Fang Chongyong waved his hand slightly, and it was rare for Wang to remove his feet from Zheng Dequan's back, stand beside him, and put his hand on the handle of the horizontal knife.

"You are a small Zhang Sancheng guarding the town general, who gave you the courage to block the scouts of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army from crossing the border?"

Fang Chongyong stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Dequan's face exposed outside and asked, his tone was cold and questioning.

Zheng Dequan just wanted to reach out and support his body, but Wang Rare stepped on his back and scolded loudly: "Be honest! Who got you up! Answer our questions about the festival! ”

"Who are you? Why arrest me? I want to see Gao Duhu! The contour is here......"

Zheng Dequan wanted to say more, but found that Wang's rare foot had stepped on the back of his neck! Now that my whole face is in the sand, it becomes difficult to breathe.

"Go and call those Qiu Ba with crossbows to this section commander."

Fang Chongyong said to He Changqi beside him, and did not let Wang let go of his feet. Zheng Dequan was refused to tell the inside story to this extent, and he must have relied on obeying orders, rather than acting recklessly.

If you can't establish authority here, then you won't have any prestige in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

originally wanted to save this person's life, but it seems that in order to deter the Anxi army and make an example of the monkeys, he had to take this person under the knife.

It's a pity.

Fang Chongyong sighed secretly in his heart, being a man is like this, and the thunderbolt method shows the heart of the Bodhisattva. If you want to do great things in the Western Regions, you can't make too much noise, and you don't allow anyone in the Tang Army to do anything against you.

Zheng Dequan may not be guilty of a big crime, even if he is guilty, he is not guilty to death, but who made him unlucky?

After a while, more soldiers captured by Zhang Sancheng came out, and the personal soldiers who were holding the crossbow with their arms just now were also called over by He Changqi, and they were all so nervous that they held the handle of the knife in their hands, and they didn't dare to make a mistake.

"A certain is Fang Chongyong, the ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy appointed by the imperial court, who is in charge of the political and military affairs of the Anbei Court. Before, you didn't let other Tang army troops cross the border, who gave the military order? ”

Fang Chongyong looked around at the group of soldiers and asked with a calm face. The momentum is compelling, not angry and self-assured.

"Ambassador Hui, yes, it was his military order."

There was a bold soldier who pointed to Zheng Dequan, who was lying on the ground and the back of his neck was rarely stepped on by the king.

"Do you have the military order of the Anxi Protectorate? If you have, go to the city and get it. ”

Fang Chongyong ordered with an indifferent face.

Everyone looked at each other, they had never seen this thing, they were all at the behest of Zheng Dequan. In fact, this is also the norm, many times the grassroots Qiu Ba listen to what they say, and they don't know anything like military orders.

"Go to someone, and bring all the generals and colonels that Zhang Sancheng is guarding to this section marshal."

Fang Chongyong instructed He Changqi.

After a while, the matter was completely troubled, and a young man in his twenties dressed as a civil official led a group of Qiu Ba out. He was slightly stunned after seeing Fang Chongyong, obviously having seen Fang Chongyong, and then crossed his hands and saluted and asked, "But Fang Jieshuai in person?" ”

"It's me, who is you, it doesn't look like you're from the army."

Fang Chongyong asked with a puzzled expression.

This guy has fine skin and tender meat, how can he not look like Qiu Ba on Anxi's side! said that he was the deputy guard and capture envoy, but no one believed it!

"Below is Li Qiyun, the judge of the Anxi Metropolitan Protector's Mansion, who is on business in Yanqi Town. A certain happened to be in Zhang Sancheng to guard and check the official letter, and he had not yet returned to Yanqi City, so he didn't know that Fang Jieshuai was so aggressive...... So what? ”

Li Qiyun also didn't understand what Fang Chongyong wanted to do, he was not a native of Anxi, but an official appointed here by Chang'an.

Li Qiyun was appointed by the imperial court to come here, half of it was to help Gao Xianzhi do things, and the other half also had the meaning of monitoring Gao Xianzhi.

The judge of the festival is an official position in the shogunate of the festival envoy, and it is a temporary position assigned by the Tang Dynasty. Generally, it is the officials themselves who ask for the release of the officials, and assist the Jiedu envoy to take charge of clerical affairs.

Because in this era, there was no rebellion of the Jiedu envoys, so the judges of the Jiedu were directly appointed by the imperial court.

And in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, it wasn't necessarily like this. At that time, according to the nature of the feudal towns, some were appointed by the imperial court, while others were directly hired locally by the envoys of the festival.

"Zhang Sancheng is guarding and intercepting the transit of my subordinates, and this ambassador is checking who gave this military order. Judge Li is a wingman in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, do you know about this? ”

Fang Chongyong asked in an unkind tone.

Li Qiyun thought for a while, shook his head lightly and said, "Unheard of." ”

He probably guessed what was going on, but he didn't want to wade into the muddy waters, and he didn't want to cover up for Gao Xianzhi.

"Hear me, what else do you have to say?"

Fang Chongyong looked at Zheng Dequan, who was lying on the ground in embarrassment, and asked.

"A certain ...... I want to see Gao Duhu! ”

Zheng Dequan replied very stiffly, it's useless to say anything now, when Gao Xianzhi comes, he will be relieved.

"General Duan Shi, tell me, in the Tang Army's military law, what is the crime of falsely passing on military orders?"

Fang Chongyong asked Duan Xiushi, who was wearing a mask beside him.

"Returning to the festival marshal, those who falsely pass military orders for no reason will be killed."

Duan Xiu replied in a cold tone.

What does it mean to be "without a cause"?

Because sometimes the tactics used in the war often deceive even one's own people, or confuse the enemy spies hiding in the army. In this case, the false transmission of military orders is just a war strategy, and there is no need to ask for guilt after the war.

The most typical example of "false military orders for no reason" is that a certain unit wants to hold its position, but the commander in chief is afraid of death, saying that the above ordered the department to retreat, which ultimately led to the defeat of the battle.

In this case, there is no doubt that the commander in charge of the false military order will be eliminated. Other similar false military orders are capital offenses.

"Execution!"

Fang Chongyong spit out two words in his mouth without mercy.

Hearing the order, Wang Rare grabbed Zheng Dequan's hair with one hand and drew a knife with the other.

Burst!

The hand rises and falls, and the corpse separates. The blood gushing out of Zheng Dequan's neck splattered Wang Tian's face.

Pointing to the head in Wang Yuan's hand, Fang Chongyong looked around and shouted:

"Zheng Dequan, who pretended to pass on the military order, has been corrected on the spot! The Silver Spear Xiaojie Army has taken over the defense of Zhang Sancheng's capture, and other generals and colonels in the city, and perhaps Zheng Dequan's comrades, this ambassador will review you one by one! You are welcome to report the lawlessness!

He Laohu, you take a team of people to Yanqi Town, and let Li Siye, the envoy of the Modao Army, come here to see me! ”

After speaking, Fang Chongyong went straight to the city gate, and Zhang Sancheng's guards and soldiers who were blocking the road retreated and stood aside, silent. Seeing this, Li Qiyun hurriedly stepped forward and said to those people: "You all go back to the camp to rest, and you must not move around." A certain went to find Li Siye to preside over the overall situation. ”

Li Siye is brave and good at fighting, and he is quite popular with the military. This person is very famous in the Anxi Army, and he is in charge of the entire Yanqi Town, and Zhang Sancheng is nominally at his command.

Why "nominal"?

Because Zheng Dequan is the chief official parachuted in by Gao Xianzhi, not Li Siye's cronies, and he does not obey Li Siye's orders on weekdays, so Li Siye's management of this guard is only nominal.

This situation is just like Xin Yunjing, who was born in the local mountain, and did not take Cui Xiyi in his eyes. The exercise of power requires a specific channel, and this channel is often artificially blocked and cannot achieve the desired effect.

Hearing Li Qiyun say that Li Siye would preside over the overall situation, Zhang Sancheng's guards and subordinate sergeants were all relieved, and honestly followed the silver spear filial piety army into the city.

……

In the school field in Yanqi City, although the sky has only spit out the white belly of the fish, a middle-aged fierce man with strong muscles has already brandished a Mo knife about a zhang long and weighs fifteen catties, training in the school field.

Behind him, there were hundreds of sergeants who were bare-chested and bare-armed, wielding Modao exercises together. The whole school yard is full of masculine energy, like the rising sun.

This person is Li Siye, the envoy of the Modao Army. He is diligent in training soldiers, diligent in training martial arts, and his subordinate Zhongmo Sword Army is the sharp knife in the Anxi Army, and is often dispatched to other places to fight fires, and has extremely rich combat experience.

The Modao Army is undoubtedly the strongest army of the Tang Army in the Western Regions, there is no one, and the frequency of participating in battles is also the highest, and there is no one.

Just as Li Siye's training was in full swing, several fast horses came towards the entrance of the school. After the guards on duty let them go, the group came to Li Siye.

The middle-aged man wearing the Anxi Army uniform at the front turned over and dismounted, hurriedly walked to Li Siye's side, and said in a low voice: "General Li, something is wrong." ”

"You don't take people to patrol along the sea of fish, what are you doing here?"

Li Siye looked at the person in front of him with a strange expression and asked.

This person's name is Bai Xiaode, who was born in the old royal family of Qiuzi, and the weapon he uses is a pair of short spears in addition to the conventional horizontal knife and crossbow. This pair of short spears is considered to be a special equipment in the past Qiuzi army, which can be thrown and used in horse combat, and is very flexible to use, often making the opponent unable to defend against it.

Bai Xiaode originally led his cavalry to patrol along the sea of fish early in the morning, but found that Li Qiyun, the judge of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, was leading a group of Tang troops wearing different styles of military uniforms to Yanqi City with murderous spirit.

He had doubts in his heart and led his subordinates to inquire, only to find out that something was wrong!

Gao Xianzhi's confidant Zheng Dequan, who stayed in Yanqi Town, was actually executed! Publicly executed in front of many people!

It is true that Zheng Dequan is a person who has nostrils facing the sky on weekdays, and he walks sideways like a crab because he is Gao Xianzhi's cronies, which is really annoying, and there are many people who don't like him.

But no matter what, he was killed like this, no matter how generous Gao Xianzhi was, this matter would not end easily.

It's no longer a matter of personal feelings, it's a matter of power!

What's more, Zheng Dequan died within the scope of Yanqi Town, and Li Siye did not protect his safety, which is an objective fact. Therefore, Li Siye must give Gao Xianzhi an explanation.

Bai Xiaode and Li Siye have known each other for many years, and the two are in the same Modao Army, of course he can't ignore this matter!

The person who killed Zheng Dequan came from a big place, bigger than Gao Xianzhi! He is Fang Chongyong, the ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy.

This position is not worth delving, as long as it is determined that he is in charge of the military power of the two towns in the northwest court of Anxi.

I only heard that Fang Chongyong was in Yizhou, which was under the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and it was still far away from Yanqi Town, so Li Siye and Bai Xiaode didn't take it seriously. Now Fang Chongyong and the light car Jian went out to Yanqi Town with hundreds of people, and it was clear that he wanted to share a high level with Gao Xianzhi.

Li Siye and others, who are sandwiched between the two, where to go, as a party concerned, really can't wait to ignore them.

"General Li, Ambassador Fang is guarding Zhang Sancheng, please be sure to go."

Li Qiyun saluted Li Siye with his hands crossed, and tried his best to give him a look. He Changqi and the others on the side just had a cold face and didn't say anything, just watching Li Qiyun negotiate with Li Siye.

After all, both of them are bureaucrats and generals under the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and they are easier to talk to each other. Although He Changqi is very reckless, he is not a fool, and this truth is still understood.

On one side is Gao Xianzhi, the deputy capital of Anxi, and on the other side is Fang Chongyong, the ambassador of the Western Regions.

Li Siye pondered for a moment, and immediately made a decision in his heart.

If Gao Xianzhi wants to come, he has to start from Qiuzi and go all the way east to Yanqi Town, which will take a lot of time.

And Fang Chongyong has already been captured in Zhang Sancheng, and it is only half a day's journey to get here, and the fast horse can even arrive in an hour!

Where to go, so do you still need to choose?

"You come to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and then set off."

Li Siye patted Bai Xiaode's shoulder and said.

"Order! General Li rest assured, Yanqi Town is fine. ”

Bai Xiaode patted his chest and assured Li Siye.

Li Siye nodded to him slightly, and then said to Li Qiyun: "Judge Li, lead the way, and I will go with you to Zhang Sancheng to guard and arrest." ”

Seeing that Li Siye didn't make a mistake, Li Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief, he leaned over and lowered his voice and said: "Ambassador Fang said that General Li once saved his life in Shazhou and relieved the siege of Shazhou once, so he should be fine here." ”

Hearing this, Li Siye seemed to remember what happened back then. At that time, in order to deal with Tubo, the Modao Army was ordered to transfer to the east to Hexi Jiedu to obey the command. As for whether there was a break from the siege of Shazhou, he didn't remember it for a long time, because there were too many similar things.

Fang Chongyong...... This name sounds familiar.

Li Siye felt strange in his heart, didn't say anything, put on his military uniform and followed Li Qiyun and others out of the school.
