Although Fang Chongyong deliberately humiliated the Zoroastrian saintess Jin Si Kaia, he deliberately played with the other party's ingredients. But the important news brought by this holy woman was something that Fang Chongyong could not ignore.

He's not a border commander who focuses on playing with women!

Gao Xianzhi had already led the Anxi army, crossed the mountains, marched rapidly for more than a month, and camped near Kangguo.

After the army looted grain and straw in this place (the so-called labor army), they captured Zhezhi City, the capital of Shiguo, in one go.

The Shi royal family fled to Talas City, an important city in the eastern part of the country, and sent the princess Jinsikaia to lead an embassy to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate in an attempt to meet Fang Chongyong. Shi Guoren's plan was to use wealth and beauty to let Fang Chongyong, the ambassador of the Western Regions, intervene in mediation.

In this way, Shi Guo can be preserved without losing his dignity.

As for the relationship with Datang in the future, it can only be said in the future, anyway, I don't dare to turn my face now.

Fang Chongyong drew a circle for Jin Si Kaiya that night, and asked her to watch the ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy in the circle, performing "Living Spring Palace" with his concubine. At that time, the princess of Shiguo didn't want to watch it, and she had to stay in the circle to watch.

Because she really didn't dare to move!

Gao Xianzhi's attack on Shi Guo was Fang Chongyong's established plan. The problem now is not in the matter of sending troops, but in the fact that it has been so long since the fall of Zhezhi City, the capital of the Shi Kingdom, Gao Xianzhi actually didn't send someone to report to Fang Chongyong to the Beiting Metropolitan Protector's side!

Even the pampered princess of Shiguo, who was pampered and tender-skinned and tender, walked slowly from Talas City to the Ili River Valley.

The scouts of the Anxi Army under Gao Xianzhi, the elite cavalry who traveled 500 miles a day, didn't even come to deliver the letter!

This is no longer an objective constraint that can be explained.

Obviously, Gao Xianzhi deliberately did not send someone back to report the progress. As for the reason, it's actually very easy to understand.

If Fang Chongyong arrived in Zhezhi City, then the distribution rights of the spoils that Gao Xianzhi and his subordinates had snatched in the early stage would not belong to them. At that time, it will be distributed by Fang Chongyong, and whoever can take as much as he can will have the final say, because he is the ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy!

Even if Gao Xianzhi and Qiu Ba, who participated in this battle in the Anxi Army, can finally share a share, but after all, it will be much less than a complete monopoly!

Presumably, many people in the Anxi army supported Gao Xianzhi in doing this.

These people's wishful thinking probably wants to hand over a little "high-quality goods" to Fang Chongyong at that time, and the meaning is enough. To put it bluntly, he is deliberately delaying time, and then taking advantage of the time difference to do his best to scrape the ground in Zhezhi City.

After Fang Chongyong knew the news, Shi Guo had become history, could it be that Fang Chongyong would give a twist to the Son of Heaven and say that Shi Guo should not be beaten?

Shiguo is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it is understandable that the power of news transmission is not enough, right?

I have to say that Gao Xianzhi's abacus is very shrewd.

Well, it seems like a bit too shrewd.

……

"Jie Shuai! The last general thinks that this Gao Xianzhi is quite ignorant!

How did the festival marshal treat him at the beginning? If you want to clean up, you have already cleaned up! Give him the right to lead an army and rule arbitrarily!

The festival commander is kind to him!

As a result, how did Gao Xianzhi repay Jieshuai?

After he conquered Zhezhi City, he didn't even send anyone to report the news!

Gao Xianzhi is greedy for merit! Marshal, he is guilty of rebelling against the army!

If you don't clean up Gao Xianzhi well, how can you serve the public! ”

In the newly repaired mansion hall of Bagua City, He Changqi's face turned red, he slapped the table case with a bang, and he was angry, shouting, and at the same time, he wanted to pull out a knife and kill people.

"Marshal Jie, although General He said it a little urgently, the truth is correct.

After all, you are still the ambassador of the Western Regions, not to mention that you are still the envoy of the Hexi Festival!

Gao Xianzhi is doing this now, it's a bit of a crime. ”

The burly Wang is rare, and he also stood up to help He Changqi.

In fact, it was not only him, everyone present was indignant after Fang Chongyong informed the princess of Shiguo that the news sent by Jin Si Kaiya.

There are no Qiu Ba who are not angry!

Gao Xianzhi's gameplay violated the taboo of officialdom.

Generally speaking, it is not impossible for someone to eat alone, but he will share other benefits and give them to the people at the table.

You can't let the benefits be taken by you alone!

Fang Chongyong originally said that he would order Gao Xianzhi to attack the capital of Shi Guo, having said that, but that guy knocked down Shi Guo, could he not report to Fang Chongyong, his superior?

That's right, the order is to let Gao Xianzhi hit the capital of Shiguo. However, who gave Gao Xianzhi an order that he could distribute the loot obtained by the Stone Fighting Kingdom without authorization?

Fang Chongyong didn't seem to have issued the military order that "the spoils of war can be distributed by Gao Xianzhi himself", right?

Therefore, the reason why Gao Xianzhi concealed the march process is very understandable, not only is this guy not stupid, but he can see the big hole hidden in the military order given by Fang Chongyong at the beginning. So he "calculated the plan", took Zhezhi City, and first got the essence of the loot of Shiguo and divided it later!

The loot has been divided, and Fang Chongyong has no way to recover it. There are so many Qiu Ba in the Anxi Army, if they are all allowed to hand over the spoils of war, those Qiu Ba must mutiny!

Why are He Changqi and Wang rare that they are both angry?

Because they are divided by others, the interests that they think should belong to them can be understood as the business should make more money in the eyes of the business, but there is no more money, that is, a loss.

And these benefits that were divided by Gao Xianzhi could not help the career of the generals under the command of the other party.

In other words, if you kill Gao Xianzhi, you can get those wealth, and you don't have to be responsible, then the Qiu Ba under Fang Chongyong's command will not hesitate to do it!

Of course, if these benefits are obtained by Fang Chongyong, at least they can help and promote these generals in their careers, then they are also willing to share some of these benefits.

Where in the world is there love and hate for no reason, under the table of shouting and killing, it is all a business with a clear price!

"Everyone, please be calm."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand, signaling the generals in the yamen hall not to make noise.

When they saw that he was about to speak, all the people who had been whispering fell silent and waited for instructions.

"The army of the Kingdom of Shi has been defeated by Gao Xianzhi's Anxi army, and the remnants of the army, under the leadership of the king of the Kingdom of Shi, have fled to the important city of Talas in the east.

In fact, we are far away from Talas City, but Zhezhi City is very close to Talas, and there is no danger to defend during this time.

So, why didn't Gao Xianzhi take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Talas City? It's been so long.

Have you really not thought about the cause and effect? ”

Fang Chongyong asked with a smile.

Hearing him say this, many people present came back to their senses.

Indeed, Gao Xianzhi had already broken through the capital of Shi Guo, which showed that the combat effectiveness of Shi Guo's army was not strong, and it did not cause any trouble to the elite soldiers under Gao Xianzhi's command.

And the scale of Talas City is much smaller than Zhezhi City, and it can even be said that Gao Xianzhi can raze it to the ground with his backhand.

If you can take it, why not take it?

Isn't it a great achievement to catch the line of the Shi royal family?

Obviously, Gao Xianzhi had definitely considered the question raised by Fang Chongyong.

Even his highest priority.

"The festival marshal is saying that Gao Xianzhi deliberately left the Talas City, which is closest to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and drove all the Shi royal family there! And then let's clean up the mess? ”

Duan Xiushi wondered about the question, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was such a truth.

I have to say that Gao Xianzhi's strategy is very clever.

There are so many people in the Shi royal family, should they be killed or released, or should they be sent to Chang'an to be disposed of by the saints? Isn't that a hassle?

That's obviously yes.

Will Shi Guo be destroyed and let him become the next Qiuzi Country and Yanqi Kingdom, or will he support an agent again?

How to deal with it in the later stage, do you need someone to make a decision and catch the black pot?

It has to be. After all, Shi Guo is also a big country in the Western Regions, and after it is destroyed, it must be pointed at by people from all walks of life, don't you need to be a backstopper?

Gao Xianzhi's meaning is actually very clear: I took the wealth of Shi Guo, but I don't want the trouble of Shi Guo. Ambassador Fang, you are a senior official, you just need to make a decision. Laying down Talas is also a great achievement, and I won't rob you of this credit, but only honor you.

"This Gao Xianzhi, our family used to see that he was quite honest and loyal, but I didn't expect this person to be so insidious!

Ambassador Fang, how to deal with this matter is up to you.

When the time comes, we will write a recital for you to see, and then send someone back to Chang'an for the saint to decide, there is no other word! ”

Bian Lingcheng, the prison guard, who had not spoken, suddenly said bitterly, and scolded Gao Xianzhi for being shameless.

Before everyone could react, they stood in line at the speed of light and cleared themselves up!

He Changqi and the others all gasped, they hadn't started to show loyalty yet, but the eunuchs and supervisors in the palace began to show loyalty, is this horse still like words?

You must know that Bian Lingcheng also accepted bribes from the Tocharian envoy with Gao Xianzhi before! In the impression of outsiders, the two of them should be in a group!

It's just that he didn't expect Fang Chongyong to speak, Bian Lingcheng took the lead in jumping back, and sold Gao Xianzhi without the slightest hesitation!

I have to say that the eunuchs who can get out in the Chang'an Palace have extraordinary ability to observe words and emotions and judge the situation, and none of them are simple.

"Gao Xianzhi's thoughts, one is military merit, and the other is wealth. Of course, he thinks very well, and it is normal for people not to be surprised. ”

Fang Chongyong shook his head with a smile, it can be said that he was not shocked, and he deserved his position as the ambassador of the Western Regions.

Seeing him with such a calm and breezy appearance, everyone present admired him.

Being able to endure what ordinary people can't endure is enough to see that Fang Chongyong has a strong mind and patience. If they were in this position, they would have gone to Gao Xianzhi for trouble, and it would be impossible for them to be as stable as Mount Tai as Fang Chongyong.

"Send someone to Zhezhi City to deliver a letter to Gao Xianzhi, just say that he can be fully responsible for the affairs of Shiguo, and he doesn't need to report to me in real time before taking action.

Ambassador, don't look at the process, just look at the result. ”

Fang Chongyong instructed He Changqi, who was in charge of managing the pro-soldier team and the scout team.

"Jie Shuai! Never! ”

Hearing this, not only He Changqi, but everyone present was shocked! Can't help but scream loudly against!

Leave Talas City, they can still leave some soup and water, and they can go and fish for a wave.

If this letter is sent, then the matter of Shiguo will really be decided by Gao Xianzhi alone! When the time comes, the Western Regions only knows Gao Xianzhi and Gao Deputy Duhu, and does not know Fang Chongyong and Fang Ambassador, how can this be played?

When that time comes, I'm afraid that this ghost Zoroastrian saintess who is staying in Bagua City now will also go to Gao Xianzhi for favor!

Stunning beauties will only be attached to the strongest and strongest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, navigating the Western Regions is a game of chess, and this section has its own opinions. It's just that if there is no secret, it will fail, and it is not convenient to explain it now, so you should not be impatient.

We have built a new Lizhou for Datang, opened up territory for the country, and organized the people, which is already a great achievement in our hands, and we have our own rewards afterwards.

Ladies and gentlemen, we should not be so short-sighted. ”

Fang Chongyong waved his hand disappreciably and said.

He said it really reasonably, however, although He Changqi and their Qiu Ba could understand, it was impossible for the ordinary soldiers of the Tang Army under their command who were waiting to get enough in Shiguo!

The ideals of those low-level soldiers are not as lofty as Fang Chongyong, and they are not far away to go on the expedition, just to get a wave and go home to get married, go home for the New Year, and go home to be a rich man!

It is certainly a very glorious thing to open up territory for the country or something, but glory cannot be eaten!

For these Qiu Ba, who are counting on money, it is still a real money to pay the military salary, even if it is for Hexi Jiaozi!

There is no need to talk about those big truths with empty mouths and white teeth.

In short, it is not surprising that there is nothing to do in the Anxi Expeditionary Force for the time being, after all, there is still hope, and Fang Chongyong is also quite popular with the army.

But if the army returns in vain in the future, there will definitely be a mutiny in the army on the road!

Will Fang Chongyong still be able to hold it down when the time comes? In this regard, He Changqi and others present were all worried and wrote their doubts on their faces.

"Do you have nothing to do now? Then let them divide the fields, tun the fields, cultivate the land, and take care of the land in Yili.

These lands, which now belong to them, can be subleased to others in the future, and the local government will be responsible for handing over the rent. ”

Fang Chongyong instructed Duan Xiushi.

Everyone's faces softened slightly, and I have to say that Fang Chongyong's method is still very helpful in alleviating the resentment in the army.

In the future, if you leave the Ili River Valley, you can sublease the land to tenants, and the government will be responsible for collecting the rent, and finally it will be converted into Jiaozi and distributed to them.

Although this is much slower than robbery, there is no need to go to the battlefield, there is no worry about life, and in the future, you can experience the comfort of being a "small landlord", so what's the difference?

It's a bit of a head-scratching indeed! Anyway, if you're idle, you're not idle!

"Okay, that's all for Gao Xianzhi's matter, and this ambassador won't say it a second time. Do as I say, adjourn the meeting, and go your own way. ”

Fang Chongyong waved his hand, clean and neat! Quite a Qiu Ba style!

He Changqi and the others seemed to want to say something, but seeing Fang Chongyong's confident appearance, he thought about it and kept silent.

Staying in the Ili Valley, there are no logistical worries for the time being. If you continue to the west, the natural conditions will deteriorate dramatically, and it is not uncommon for a radius of 100 miles without cooking smoke.

If something happened at that time, they, the generals who were under the saddle under Fang Chongyong, would not be able to afford the responsibility!

After everyone had left the hall of the Bagua City, Anaya walked in from the back hall and handed Fang Chongyong a bowl of herbal soup that was not suitable for water and soil.

While Fang Chongyong was drinking the medicine, Anaye asked cautiously: "Just now when the medicine was getting cold, the concubine quietly eavesdropped for a while, as if He Laohu and they were very unwilling." ”

"That's not a howling objection, anyone who encounters such a thing will be angry."

Fang Chongyong took a sip of the herbal soup, it was not bitter, but there was a grassy smell that rushed straight to his nose, and he couldn't describe it in words.

"For Gao Xianzhi, why does Ah Lang have to endure everywhere?"

Anaye asked suspiciously, with her understanding of the other party, the other party was not a soft and easy character. To be precise, when he was in Hexi, Anaye knew that Fang Chongyong was ruthless and decisive!

To some extent, even lawlessness, never scrupulous about the so-called powerful.

When it was time for him to do it, he never relented.

"It's not that I'm afraid of Gao Xianzhi, it's that I'm arranging it, and now this bureau has not been completed, so I can't act rashly.

If I don't give Gao Xianzhi benefits, don't condone him, and don't let him get carried away. So how can this chess piece move the way I need it to?

If you want to take it, you must give it first, and it will never go out of style.

Let Gao Xianzhi be proud for a while and then say, don't worry, don't worry. ”

Fang Chongyong sneered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"You just blow it, I think He Changqi and they are all in a hurry to mutiny! Don't worry! ”

Anaya pursed her lips and sneered at Fang Chongyong.

"Watch him build tall buildings, and watch him feast guests.

The major military affairs of the border towns, how can this Hexi native girl understand? ”

Fang Chongyong went back without showing weakness.

How lonely it is to be invincible, sometimes he really wants to pretend to be a good force in front of people!

However, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and how many cases of success and failure are in front of you, and the big things are ruined by those inconspicuous little things.

A commander needs victory, not some bullshit!

Fang Chongyong just wanted to win.

Not only to win steadily, but also to win, to sweep, but also to lay the foundation of immortality!

He can afford to wait, and he can endure it!
