Zhezhi City is the largest city among the countries of the Western Regions west of the Green Mountains. The circumference of its city is dozens of miles, and most of the wealth of the stone country is concentrated, and the accumulation is considerable. In fact, Shiguo has always been called Zhezhi by the Central Plains, and this city is very large.

The history of Zhezhi is much older than the title of Shiguo!

At this moment, Gao Xianzhi sat on the throne of the king of Shiguo, looked around at the palace hall with Byzantine architectural style, and glanced at the gems inlaid on the armrests, secretly disdainful in his heart.

Damn, if you put a gem on a stone seat, you can only dig it up and take it away.

Barbarian just doesn't know anything, if you make an agarwood dragon chair and inlay these gems on it, the whole chair is only priceless!

The king of a small country in the Western Regions is just like that, and he is really not as chic and comfortable as the commander of the Tang Army in the Western Regions.

"Senior Deputy Protector, the ambassador of the Western Regions sent someone to send a military order, please take a look."

Vice General Xi Yuanqing handed over a sheepskin bag sealed with fire paint to Gao Xianzhi for a look, and then retreated aside.

In all fairness, Xi Yuanqing felt that what Gao Xianzhi was doing now was really a bit "too bold". But in view of the fact that they have reaped enough benefits along the way, there are so many gems in the treasury of the Stone Country that they can't fit in their pockets! Therefore, the whole army did not complain, and did not feel that there was any risk.

Anyway, if something happened, it was Gao Xianzhi who was in front.

"Well, you take two thousand men and set out tomorrow along the river to the east to attack the city of Talas. After the foundation was laid, they set up camp in this place. ”

Gao Xianzhi tugged the military order sent by Fang Chongyong into his cuffs, and then said to Xi Yuanqing with a brisk face.

This wave of expeditions can be described as smooth sailing, and even the most worried problem is no longer a problem now. Fang Chongyong not only did not hold him accountable for plundering Zhezhi City, but instead granted him the discretionary power to deal with the affairs of the Stone Kingdom!

This power is not small, and in this way, it means that Gao Xianzhi's unauthorized handling of the spoils of the Shi Kingdom is "legitimized".

Originally, he kept Talas City and didn't fight, just to leave some military exploits for Fang Chongyong, but he didn't expect that this ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy was really open-minded and generous.

"What should I do with the people who caught the Shi royal family, don't you need to say more?"

Gao Xianzhi asked quietly.

Xi Yuanqing nodded slightly and said, "The last general will definitely do things well." ”

The person who robs the money is always a thief with a weak heart, and cannot face the creditor with peace of mind.

The Shi royal family died in a military accident, doesn't that mean that the things in the treasury of Zhezhi City are all "ownerless things".

Since the treasure has no owner, it is naturally "the virtuous dwelling"!

"Well, pick some of the best and most dazzling treasures in the treasury and send them to the North Court, and let Ambassador Fang palm his eyes to see if the gems of this stone country are really in vain."

Gao Xianzhi waved his hand indifferently and said, at this moment, it was as if he had become the lord of the Western Regions.

"The last general commands!"

Xi Yuanqing strode out of the beautiful Stone King Palace, looked back at the tall and majestic palace city, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

It is said that the puppet is not guilty and has no ability to defend the city, why build the city so big and build it so well?

Now it's all cheaper!

When they came to the street, there happened to be a group of Qiu Ba, tying a dozen young women with ropes, and going to the barracks outside the city. He couldn't help frowning, and wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, but suddenly remembered that he had also slept with the beautiful woman of Shi Country two days ago.

Seriously, that figure is really wonderful. While resisting, his mouth spoke an incomprehensible Turkic language; On the one hand, the body is honest and pandering. Under the contrast, it is really beautiful to the extreme.

Xi Yuanqing sighed, if you have eaten well, you must also take care of the brothers and eat enough, otherwise who will serve you before and after the saddle in the future?

He waved rudely at the hippie smiling faces of the Qiu Ba who came over, signaling these people to get out!

In one go, the Tang Army's morale was already scattered, and the Qiu Ba wanted to return to Qiuzi Town as soon as possible to enjoy the blessings. If something happens again, how do you deal with it?

Xi Yuanqing shook his head, and walked towards the city gate helplessly, planning to rectify the troops and horses of the headquarters, and then go east to conquer Talas City.

After this battle, you can drag the treasures of Shiguo Chengshan back. Only when he returns to his own town can the results of this expedition be considered safe.

……

On the outskirts of Bagua City in the Ili River Valley, Fang Chongyong personally went to the fields to plant winter wheat. With him as an example, there is naturally no shortage of people who plough the fields.

Now that they have been "inspired" and yearn for the household registration of the Tang Dynasty, many of the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions have come to settle in Bagua City. Fang Chongyong let them enter the city, arranged houses in the city, and built houses and roads with work relief. On the one hand, there are 50 acres of land per person, and the households are all the people, and the military tun model that is often found in Hexi is adopted.

Fang Chongyong built a city in Tuntian here, which the soldiers of the Anxi Expeditionary Force did not expect, but they did not have any complaints. Because of these "official lands" that they have cultivated, the ownership is in their own hands.

The government recruited people to farm here, and part of the land rent paid was given to them. Of course, there is a restriction of the number of years, and it is not a model of infinite scarcity of children and grandchildren.

Since there are benefits, there is naturally positivity.

Fang Chongyong went to the field to farm, the technology was very bad, and he still needed to rework when he turned back. It's just that with the commander taking the lead, the affairs of Tuntian are easier to advance, not that there is a lack of labor on the side.

The tuntian near Bagua City advanced in an orderly manner, until this day there was a sudden strong wind, and the weather was obviously cooler, and it was already late autumn.

Fang Chongyong did not continue to "put on a show" in the field, but returned to the study of the government to plan how to implement the next strategy.

Ili Tuntian, firstly, was to transport the Tang Army's logistical supply line to the eastern edge of Shaye Town, saving at least eight or nine hundred miles of transportation distance. Second, it is also to paralyze certain forces, such as the black-clothed food, such as the remnants of the broken leaves, such as some nomadic forces.

These are the preparations that must be completed in the second stage of Fang Chongyong's plan to pass through the Western Regions.

Just as he was marking the map, He Changqi walked into the study with an anxious face and whispered in Fang Chongyong's ear:

"Jie Shuai, Che Guangqian sent someone to report that Gao Xianzhi had taken Talas City, and he saw with his own eyes that the Tang army was burning, killing and looting in the city.

It is said that Xi Yuanqing, the general of Gao Xianzhi's department, also secretly arrested and slaughtered the Shi royal family, and announced that they died in the war.

But it seems that Prince Shi ran away in advance and was not caught, will this affect the plan of the marshal? ”

Gao Xianzhi is really ruthless!

Fang Chongyong sighed in his heart, but he just waved his hand lightly and said: "It's just that, if you don't know about this matter, everything is under control at the moment." ”

Fang Chongyong knew that the game he had laid out was actually not foolproof, to put it bluntly, it was just a conspiracy based on prediction.

If Gao Xianzhi is strong and invincible all the way, he can still beat the army of hundreds of thousands of black-clothed people when he is running thousands of miles, crossing mountains and mountains, and smashing and looting all the way in Shiguo, and losing the hearts of the local people.

Then he deserves to be the lord of the Western Regions.

On that day, Fang Chongyong, the ambassador of the Western Regions, had a reputation as a woman who could only be in Yili Tuntian and would not fight at all.

Get rid of the clown who is greedy for life and afraid of death!

When the time comes, without Brother Ji's order, Fang Chongyong himself will write a letter asking for his position to be removed and handed over to Gao Xianzhi to preside over the overall situation!

The so-called virtue is not worthy, and it will be blamed, which is the truth. Instead of waiting for someone else to oust you from power, it's better to be informed and run early.

The worries of He Changqi and others actually stem from this.

The reason why they were worried was because these people didn't understand what Shi Guo meant to the Black Clothed Food.

Shiguo is the eastern gateway to the province of Khorasan, a province of black-clothed food, and a treasure land of feng shui with abundant resources and abundant wealth. The geographical environment is superior, which is rare in the Western Regions.

Gao Xianzhi's behavior is like setting fire to a family's yard. If the owner of this house has a little strength, it is impossible to sit idly by.

The Great Food Country has just gone through the Shiite uprising, and the white-clothed Great Food has retreated to Spain, and the black-clothed Great Food is in power. It's time to make a name for yourself and do something big.

How could they let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

It is not so much that the black-clothed food wants to help the Shi royal family "preside over the overall situation", but that the other party gave them an excellent reason to interfere in the situation in the Western Regions. Gao Xianzhi's behavior made the small countries west of the Green Ridge tremble, and I believe that there will be no shortage of helpers in black.

This is the basis for Fang Chongyong to judge that Gao Xianzhi wants to be planted in Shiguo. Of course, no one believes these things now.

Seeing that He Changqi still looked worried, Fang Chongyong asked helplessly: "Do you want to be a praying mantis or a yellow finch?" ”

"Jieshuai, who would want to be the praying mantis who was cleaned up?

However, Gao Xianzhi is almost done with the show, so what are we going to play? ”

He Changqi asked helplessly.

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said:

"Gao Xianzhi's men and horses, when they came, they were all light and simple, and they only brought dry food. Their route, however, was over the towering mountains, and the road was very rough and difficult to navigate.

However, when I went back, I grabbed so much gold, silver and jewelry from Shiguo, which was very heavy, and I definitely couldn't carry it on my shoulder to climb the mountain and return to Qiuzi Town the same way, right?

Therefore, Gao Xianzhi and the others must go east to Whitewater City first, then to Talas, and then to Broken Leaf Town, where they will meet us.

Do you think that during this march, the black-clothed food will not beat him?

Before, they brought dry food, and they came and went like the wind and ran whenever they wanted. Now with a big cart in tow, can you still run away? ”

Fang Chongyong asked with a sneer.

The art of war is cloudy: avoid its edge, hit its lazy return!

It's clearly written in the book of soldiers!

The cavalry in black is not slow. From the country of rest, it does not take long to arrive at the city of Zhezhi in the country of stone.

They didn't come before, because the time didn't come and they didn't want to send troops, not because they were in a hurry. The black-clothed cavalry is really coming, absolutely as fast as lightning, and the speed of the march is beyond imagination!

Fang Chongyong believed that the army of the black-clothed Khorasan Province was afraid that the general mobilization had already been completed, so he was waiting to send troops!

It's not that those people don't know how to take advantage of this excellent opportunity, but they are waiting for the moment when Gao Xianzhi and the Anxi army under his command are the most exhausted and careless, and then they will kill with one blow!

In all dynasties, when the army returned with looted treasures, it was also the most dangerous and vulnerable to sneak attacks.

The closer Gao Xianzhi got to that lofty peak, the closer he got to the end of the catastrophe.

"Jie Shuai, what do you mean, are we going to be a hunter when the yellow finch takes away the mantis?"

He Changqi gestured a few times at Fang Chongyong.

"This section doesn't say that, everything is your guess."

Fang Chongyong snorted twice, not directly confirmed, but he didn't deny it.

Suddenly, out of the corner of He Changqi's eye, he saw a purple shadow outside the crack in the door. So he showed an ambiguous smile at Fang Chongyong, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Jie Shuai, it seems that the holy woman has come to you again for training, and the last general will not be in the way here." I'm going to drive out all the idle people in the yard, and the festival commander is free to do whatever he wants. ”

After speaking, He Changqi left from the back door of the study like a transparent person, and he didn't meet the Zoroastrian saint at all.

"Come in, it's windy outside!"

Fang Chongyong shouted at the door.

Hearing this, the hidden door was pushed open, and Jin Si Kaia, who was dressed in a purple brocade robe, walked in with a tangled face, knelt on the soft cushion, and saluted Fang Chongyong: "I bumped into Ambassador Fang that day, and I am here to apologize today, please don't mind the ambassador." ”

She still had tears on her face, apparently not coming to apologize.

"It's just a little thing.

Why did the Holy Maiden come to this ambassador today? ”

Fang Chongyong asked with a pretending to be confused.

"Actually, I just wanted to ask......"

Golden Sky bit her lip and continued, "I just wanted to ask, is it true that Talas City was conquered by Gao Xianzhi?" My family has died in the war, is it true? ”

"Really, but not all true."

Fang Chongyong rolled up the map in his hand and put it away, and Zhengse said.

"What's not all true?"

A gleam flashed in Kinskaya's eyes.

"It's true that your family almost died in the war, but your brother seems to have escaped and is now missing."

Fang Chongyong said calmly.

"That'...... It's just wonderful. ”

Kingskay breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that I have a home, I can't go back, and it's not a matter of wandering around. Why don't you send someone to Chang'an, enter the palace, and accompany the saint?

Since you hate Gao Xianzhi, then with the power of the saint, maybe you can take revenge.

Of course, if you are willing to be my concubine, I will accept it. But expecting me to take revenge on Gao Xianzhi because of you, that's impossible.

It's easy for this ambassador to play with you, but there's no need for that, do you understand what I mean? ”

Fang Chongyong asked with a smile.

"No need, I want to calm down, thank you Ambassador Fang for your kindness."

Jin Si Kaia smiled reluctantly, walked over to Fang Chongyong's side, leaned down and kissed the side of his face.

She leaned into Fang Chongyong's ear and whispered:

"Ambassador Fang, you are really gentle with women, if you want me to sleep sometimes, send someone to let me know.

There are no strings attached, just like the day I saw you and your favorite concubine, I saw them all.

What she can do, so can I. ”

With that, Kim lifted the hem of her skirt and floated away like a butterfly.

After she left, Fang Chongyong touched the face where he was kissed just now, shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "When the beauty plan loses its strategy, only the beauty is left to give it to her arms, and there are so many people in the world who think they are smart." ”
