In the northwest of the city, Tingzhou Prefecture is a lush pasture with a large number of livestock, which can provide thousands of horses for the army of the Beiting Prefecture every year. These horses are not only more than enough for their own use, but also can be transported to Hexi, Longyou and other places in reverse.

In the year of the Wu Dynasty, the imperial court formed a small border army here, named the "Candle Dragon Army", which was later renamed the Han Navy, which was the predecessor of the current Han Navy (and later added a large number of cavalry of the Hui tribe).

So how did the name Hanhai come about?

During the Zhenguan period, Li Tai organized the compilation of the "Chronicles of the Ancient Land", which contains a record of Hanhai:

Hanhai, the cold is dry. Case "Gu Di Zhi" cloud: Xiaohai Mingye, in the northwest of the quicksand moraine, hundreds of miles northwest of Tongluo and Tuqu, and 5,300 miles south to Chang'an. Qin builds the Great Wall, passes through this Hainan, the east and west are long and Xiongnu, there are several rivers flowing into this sea, Duluo River, Xiling River, Jin River, etc. flow into Yan. There is Hanhai Town in the north courtyard, which is also named after it.

Obviously, the Hanhai in the North Court is talking about Lake Baikal.

At this moment, Fang Chongyong looked at the mighty and majestic cavalry from all directions, entering the temporary circle painting from all directions, and the camp surrounded by baggage carts and ropes, and nodded with satisfaction.

Nice, very energetic!

He looked at Fumeng Lingcha beside him and smiled, "Fumeng's deputy capital protector is also an envoy of the Han Navy, so he doesn't have any opinion on this competition, right?" ”

Fu Meng Lingcha, who was familiar with Fang Chongyong's consistent routines, clasped his fists and saluted: "Ambassador Fang is polite, the so-called elite soldiers should be brave in public battles and ashamed of private fights. Ambassador Fang's proposal to send 50 people each to the expeditionary force and the Han Navy to conduct military exercises on horseback is exactly what I want. ”

"That's natural, after the war, we have to select two thousand elite horsemen in the Han Navy to drive the Anxi expeditionary army, and the little friction in front will be fine if you fight a dozen.

It's the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, hahahahahaha. ”

Fang Chongyong laughed with his hands on his hips, obviously in a good mood.

Fumeng Lingcha glanced at Anaye, who was sitting not far away and observing the cavalry formation, although the other party was wearing a hat and a veil, but the hot body could not be concealed, and the millet hair exposed outside the hat was not a Central Plains woman at first glance.

"Ambassador Fang, wouldn't it be inappropriate to play a large group of old rough fights today, and let a little lady watch from the sidelines?"

Fu Meng Lingcha leaned over and asked in a low voice.

The army has its own rules in the army, and no one cares if you strip this little lady naked in the handsome tent at night! After all, you are the ambassador of the Western Regions! There is still a privilege to do so.

But it's a bit too much to bring your favorite concubine to watch the military exercise, what do you think of the barracks?

"Well, you can't say that. If the husband and deputy protector only look at her appearance, she is indeed just a beautiful little lady. But if you look at her identity, it's not. ”

Fang Chongyong said with a smile, remembering last night's affair, the two of them were newly married, and they had a very wild game with dry firewood, and they suddenly felt very beautiful in their hearts.

"What do you mean by that?"

Fu Meng Lingcha was confused by Fang Chongyong.

In fact, it was just a trivial matter, and he just said it casually.

As long as Anaye doesn't go forward to comfort Sergeant Tang or something, everyone will just treat it as if they didn't see it. In fact, Fang Chongyong just needed to casually say haha and perfunctory, and there was no need to say so much nonsense to justify.

"This is the newly canonized lord of the Shi Kingdom in the imperial court, and the new governor of the Dawan Governor's Mansion. Of course, she is qualified to come here to see the majesty of my Tang Army! ”

Fang Chongyong pointed at Anaye and said.

What?

Fumon Lingcha thought he had misheard.

"Ambassador Fang just said that she is the new Lord of the Stone Country? The new governor of the Dawan Governor's Mansion? ”

"That's right, that's what Ambassador Ben meant."

Fang Chongyong said unashamedly.

Fu Meng Lingcha immediately lost any interest in any bullshit martial arts, he widened his eyes and asked, "She is the lord of the Shi country, so what about the lord of the country who is now in the Shi country?" ”

"Oh, you said that the big wrongdoer, of course he abdicated to make way for Xian."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand disappreciatively.

Can you still play like this?

Fu Meng Lingcha looked at Fang Chongyong with puzzled eyes, without saying a word, he wanted an explanation, just to see if Fang Chongyong gave it or not.

"This one really has the blood of the Shi royal family. This is not the Ambassador joking. ”

Fang Chongyong quibbled.

In fact, this is not wrong, from the perspective of seniority, the current lord of Shi Country should be regarded as Anaye's distant uncle. Well, a little bit far away.

But these words completely failed to deceive Fu Menglingcha, who was quite familiar with the people of the Western Regions.

In the Western Regions, the situation of one city and one country abounds, and all kinds of "royal direct line" are like crucian carp crossing the river, not to mention any "royal blood".

For example, Bai Xiaode, the general of the Tang Army in Anxi, is a direct descendant of the Qiuzi royal family. Hundreds of years ago, in the Han Dynasty, the people of the Qiuci royal family were surnamed Bai, and they were passed down for hundreds of years. Does that mean that Bai Xiaode's status is very noble and he can make trouble in the Western Regions?

In theory, it seems to be possible, but in reality it is as difficult as the sky.

There are many so-called "princes" and "princesses" in the Western Regions, such as the princes of Saudi Arabia in Chongyong's previous life!

"Ambassador Fang, national events are not child's play. As the deputy protector of the North Court, I want to take a look at the letter of appointment of the imperial court, this request is not too much, right? ”

Fu Meng Lingcha's tone suddenly became serious.

"Alas, I originally wanted to give Fu Meng's deputy capital a surprise, but I didn't expect to open the box now."

Fang Chongyong sighed with emotion, and then took out a small roll of yellow silk from his arms and handed it to Fu Meng Lingcha.

There is a seal from the ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy, as well as the seal of Bian Lingcheng, the envoy of the prison army, the seal under the door of the Chinese book, and even the imprint of the jade seal! It couldn't be more true!

But the thing written is ridiculous.

It is said that the family of the lord of the Shi Kingdom is disrespectful to the saint, and he is now removed from all his positions in the Dawan Governor's Mansion and replaced by Anaye, the orphan daughter of the Shi royal family. The Tang Army of the Western Regions must protect the newly canonized governor to take office.

"I wrote it last night, and the handwriting of this ambassador is quite reasonable, but when I was young, I learned and practiced with a famous master, He Zhizhang He University."

Fang Chongyong's tone was smug, and Fu Meng Lingcha was stunned for a moment.

The emperor and the central officials covered all the seals of the holy decree, and then passed through the commissioners of the Western Regions, and when they arrived there, they could "act cheaply". This is actually a "little secret" that everyone sees through but does not tell, and it is also an unspoken rule that is forced by the needs of reality.

For example, when the Tang army arrives at a certain place on the border, it finds that a certain tribe is friendly to the Tang Dynasty and needs to canonize their leader, and then take them to fight other tribes, is this plot very familiar?

However, these places are thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and when the border army sends an envoy back, the imperial court has finished discussing, and then sends an envoy to the local area to tell the Tang army commander: OK, the Son of Heaven agrees to canonize it, and the holy purpose is here.

The daylilies were rotten at that time!

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and at that time, this tribe may have already taken refuge in the enemy!

Therefore, this kind of stamped "holy decree" is not only needed, but even supplied wholesale by the imperial court. After the "holy decree" was issued, the prison army reported to the imperial court for confirmation, which is a typical "get on the bus first and then make up the ticket".

Fu Meng Lingcha understood this rule, but he didn't understand what Fang Chongyong was doing this for. Is it just to smile and play the Beacon Opera princes?

It is to let you get on the bus first and pay the ticket later; It's not for you to go to bed first, fooling around!

Fu Meng Lingcha suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this ambassador Fang is too good at doing things. He named his favorite concubine with the blood of the Western Regions as the governor of the Dawan Metropolitan Mansion, and it is estimated that Shi Guoguo will be mad at that time!

"Ambassador Fang, if this holy decree is sent to Shi Guo, then Shi Guo will be opposed. Do you really want to go this far? ”

Fu Meng Lingcha asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe, Fumeng's deputy capital protector also said that it was Shi Guoguo's main rebellion, but it wasn't our Tang Dynasty who was using a knife against Shi Guo.

It was they who rebelled first, so it wasn't that I was rude first. ”

Fang Chongyong sneered twice.

If you resist, it means that you know martial arts; If you don't resist, I'll make you feel cool!

Hearing this, Fumeng Lingcha suddenly realized.

Where does Fang Chongyong want to give face to Shi Guo, he is constantly testing the bottom line of the Shi royal family!

Remove the power of the current lord and family today, and they will not resist.

That's okay, tomorrow it will be the turn of the current lord's daughter to accompany Fang Chongyong to sleep in order to let it go.

If they still don't resist, then continue to increase until they resist.

As long as the resistance begins, it will be a rebellion, and the Tang army will have an excuse to send troops.

This trick, how to say it, is really wonderful!

Fu Meng Lingcha somewhat understood why Fang Chongyong had made so many detours.

To set up another "lord of Shiguo" is to separate the high-level leaders of Shiguo from the people of Shiguo, which is a typical "winning over the majority and striking at a small handful".

The people of Shi Guo will think: Tang Jun is just here to clean up the people of the Shi Country Lord and change it to a new country. When we've cleaned them up enough, they won't clean us up. If the lord of the country orders us to resist desperately, then we will lie down and fish, why should we die for the lord of the country?

In essence, this trick is not about how many hearts and minds can be won, but about not letting the lord of Shi Country respond to the people of Shi Country.

This political skill, coupled with the fierce combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, became the right and left hand of the expedition to the Western Regions.

"Deputy Protector of Fumeng should understand, right?"

Fang Chongyong looked at the cavalry who had finished lining up and was about to start the martial arts exercise and asked.

"Ambassador Hui, the last general has already understood."

Fu Meng Lingcha clasped his fists and saluted, and added in his heart by the way: Sure enough, you still know how to play, no wonder you can be the ambassador of the Western Regions.

Fang Chongyong's endless manipulation made Qiu Ba like Fu Meng Lingcha ashamed.

"Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!"

The desolate trumpet sounded, and the fifty-man cavalry team selected from the two armies had already come out of the great array, separated by two arrows from each other, and the whole team was completed in an instant.

Fang Chongyong held the iron horn, strode to the team, raised the horn and shouted:

"The rules are simple, those who fall off the horse are considered to abstain and are not allowed to get on the horse again, and the weapons are sticks and bows and arrows.

The arrow went to the arrow, but there was white ash, and the person who was shot would have left white spots.

After the battle, the number of people on the horses of both sides and the number of points of arrows hit were counted. A person has ten points, and one arrow is deducted one point, and the horse will be cleared.

I understand the rules, let's start after a stick of incense!

Casualties in battle are inevitable, and after the battle, the ambassador will never hold anyone responsible for the murder. You are all elites, just use your strength, life and death, and live and die. ”

After speaking, Fang Chongyong walked straight towards the viewing platform.

The various contradictions between the two armies in Tingzhou before were resolved in this battle, and only revenge and revenge were met. If you lose or even die, your skills are inferior.

The opponent used a wooden stick without "feeding" and killed you with an arrow with an arrow, so don't hate others for being too ruthless, anyway, your skills and tactics are going to die on the battlefield, so it's better to hang up now, and you can be happy and suffer less.

"What do you think are the rules?"

Back at the viewing platform, Fang Chongyong looked at Fu Meng Lingcha and asked.

"Ambassador Fang is here to resolve the conflict, it's good for you to decide, and the general has no opinion."

Fu Meng Lingcha replied with an embarrassed face.

What else can he say, everyone has finished speaking!

"By the way, Ambassador Fang, why don't you see General He Shi today?"

Fu Meng Lingcha suddenly discovered a strange thing, that is, Fang Chongyong's personal captain was missing. He Changqi's iconic big round head has always been extremely eye-catching, and it has always been a reference by Fang Chongyong's side.

"Hahahaha, that Qiu Ba doesn't know where to go, watch the martial arts, watch the martial arts."

Fang Chongyong said weakly pointing to the two groups of people who were about to start fighting, and did not answer Fu Menglingcha's question.

Just as the two of them were talking.

Rumble!

The two teams of cavalry suddenly exerted their strength and collided together!

If you are a real man, you have to beat the water dogs with sticks! The girls only use soft stomachs, bows and arrows without arrows!

Fang Chongyong's set of rules that he thought was very simple directly extinguished the brains of these Qiu Ba.

Both groups of people have the same idea: as long as there is no one on the other side immediately, then doesn't that mean that we have won? There are so many balls to use!

Both sides threw their crossbows to the ground in unison, and rode their horses to speed up all the way towards each other, using sticks to open the way!

The scene was tragic and bloody for a while, and some people fell in the first wave of impact, and there were even a few.

There was one man on the side of the Anxi Expeditionary Force who was extremely brave, cutting through the ranks of the Han Navy like a sharp knife. The Han naval riders in front of him were all swept off their horses with clubs. That brute force was terrifying, and it could be said to be irresistible.

Fu Meng Lingcha, who was watching the battle not far away, frowned slightly, how did he think that this person looked very much like He Changqi.

Fu Meng Lingcha glanced at Fang Chongyong beside him, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

This ambassador Fang speaks and does things in a set way, and he seems to be very talkative.

But it seems that he is a very competitive person!

I'm afraid that my subordinate Qiu Ba won't be able to defeat the Han Navy, so I sent my own personal captain to the army?

Fu Meng Lingcha suddenly felt that he was too honest, because he could also send his own personal soldiers!

Sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, fifty cavalry on the Han Navy's side were all knocked to the ground and wailed.

However, the Anxi Expeditionary Force did not go up to fight the water dogs, they were shameless, and Fang Chongyong still wanted to save face. If you win, don't go up and spit, the pressure is too low.

"Hahahaha, this is called not fighting, not knowing. Martial arts wins and loses second, and friendship comes first. Where is the overnight feud in the army, is it like this, Fumeng Deputy Protector. ”

Fang Chongyong said with a smile.

"yes, yes."

Fu Meng Lingcha was already numb, and said insincerely, too lazy to say anything.

The two stepped forward to help the Qiu Ba who were lying on the ground up, and comforted them, and the beams between the two armies before came to an end in this way.
