In the main hall of the Stone King Palace in Zhezhi City, Fang Chongyong looked at the three ABC people assigned by the imperial court in front of him, he didn't know any of them anyway, and he didn't report his home!

I couldn't help but muttered a little in my heart.

A burly, powerful young strong man A, well, this is probably a military general who came to the Western Regions to balance Wang Zhonghe.

A body of Qiu Baqi.

Middle-aged man B, dressed in a purple official robe, looks quite elegant, well, this is probably a civil official, and he should be from the center of the imperial court.

A young man with a short stature, a feminine face, and a palace robe, well, it goes without saying that he must be a eunuch in the palace.

"Ambassador Fang, is it convenient to receive the order now?"

The young eunuch asked softly, glancing at He Changqi and the others in the main hall.

"Eh, what did the chamberlain say?

All the generals are the purple gold beams and white jade pillars of my Tang Dynasty, why should you avoid them?

So Zhang Xun, who was born as a horse and served as a squire in the military department, became a candidate who met the conditions of all parties.

Fang Chongyong pointed to the two behind Zhang Xun and asked.

He was dismissed from his post as envoy to the Hexi Jiedu and replaced by Li Guangbi.

Originally, Ji Ge wanted Wang Zhongsi to serve as the ambassador of the Western Regions, but the imperial court believed that Li Guangbi, the new envoy of Hexi Jiedu, was Wang Zhonghe's cronies, and it could even be said that he was a son who was not related by blood.

The eunuch sneered and said that he had already noticed that Fang Chongyong's subordinates were glaring at them with cannibalistic eyes.

Deep connections in the center.

Fang Chongyong said with a smile, without the indignation of being removed at all, and his attitude was very modest.

And Ji Ge apparently accepted the imperial court's advice.

Fang Chongyong waved his hand, and the generals immediately quieted down.

Che Guangqian stepped out of the queue, stopped the three of them and asked, "Don't the three of you report to your home?" Who knows if you are pretentious! ”

Fang Chongyong said with a big grin, as if he had no scheming at all.

……”

To put it simply, Zhang Xun served as the ambassador of the Western Regions, and he was a civilian official who only formulated policies; And Wang Zhongsi is the deputy, responsible for fighting wars and military affairs, and does not interfere in government affairs.

Zhang Xun said with a smile, as for the inconspicuous eunuch, he was directly ignored by him, and he didn't bother to introduce it at all.

Hearing this, He Changqi and the others were about to explode on the spot, just waiting for Fang Chongyong to give an order!

If this is the ambassador of the Western Regions Economic Strategy in front of him, then what is Fang Chongyong?

Seeing Fang Chongyong's response, Zhang Xun frowned very unhappily.

They were most afraid that Fang Chongyong would make a violent attack, and now everything is normal, which is really good.

"In this case, I will arrange for you to stay in the inn first. After handing over the military affairs today, tomorrow according to the holy decree, how about going with the silver spear filial piety army? ”

"Proclaim the decree."

Then who will honor the exploits of these generals?

"Be quiet."

If Wang Zhongsi is the ambassador of the Western Regions, the authority is still too heavy. It is better to let Wang Zhongsi serve as a deputy and a civil official with status to serve as the main position.

"Wechen took the order."

From now on, he led all units of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army to return to Chang'an and served as the deputy commander of the Shence Army.

Zhang Xun did not smile, read the holy decree in a calm tone, and then felt an inexplicable pressure in the main hall.

"A certain will return to Chang'an to tell the saints, and he will not stay here."

Fang Chongyong said calmly, and there was no trace of anger on his face at all.

"General Fang, this is Liu Xixian, who will serve as the military envoy of the Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate. The imperial court prepared to establish the Dawan Army in Shiguo, and he was the first Dawan Army envoy. Before Wang Zhongsi (Wang Zhonghe) came, he temporarily acted as the agent for local military affairs. ”

All rewards will be discussed after returning to Chang'an to face the saint.

The two pinned down each other to prevent the border army generals from sitting big.

Fang Chongyong respectfully accepted the holy decree, and the eunuch and general behind Zhang Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Presumptuous! This official is the squire of the military department and the new ambassador of the Western Regions, Zhang Xun! How can it be overbearing! It's ridiculous! Don't quit yet! ”

"Fang Chongyong was dismissed from the post of envoy of the Western Regions, and Zhang Xun took over.

The middle-aged civil official scolded Che Guangqian.

If you put aside the position, the court can indeed be regarded as "old and calculating".

"Are these two also going to serve in the River Protectorate?"

The eunuch looked at the middle-aged civil official, and when he saw that he nodded slightly, he stepped forward to announce the decree.

The generals have long been unhappy with the high-minded behavior of these ABC trio!

"Wait!"

Anyway, the ambassador of the Western Regions is an errand and should have been a civilian official.

Since the chamberlain came to announce the decree, it means that the whole army will know about it, just say it. ”

is not only a civilian official, but also from the military department, and is also the son-in-law of Ji Ge. What's more, he is Zhang Shuo's second son, and he has a good relationship with Li Shizhi and Fang Xuan.

He gave face like this, Zhang Xun naturally couldn't refuse such a request.

This horse-born squire of the imperial court also saluted Chongyong with his hands crossed: "That's good, General Fang has become the general of the forbidden army and can return to Chang'an, so I want to say congratulations." ”

"It's all about doing things for Datang, and there's not so much attention to it."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand indifferently and said, looking very generous, not like he was pretending!

Zhang Xun was very satisfied with his knowledge, and left the Shiwang Palace with Liu Xixian and the little eunuch whose name was unwilling to be reported.

After he left, He Changqi immediately stepped forward, pulled Fang Chongyong's cuffs and pleaded: "Jieshuai, let's go all the way to fight for thousands of miles, eat and sleep in the open, it is really not much worse than going to Dao Mountain!" As a result, now that the imperial court has sent people to pick peaches, they don't even know what the big cannibal looks like! ”

"Jie Shuai, this is too unfair! The marshal has made such a great achievement, if he doesn't reward him, how can he be directly dismissed? ”

Wang was also indignant, and the army set out from Hexi to the west of the Green Ridge, and he made a lot of meritorious contributions. Fang Chongyong was dismissed, and they, the generals of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army, naturally could not guarantee 100% fulfillment of their achievements.

It's even likely that they've been fooled casually.

"Jieshuai, you still have to fight! How could the imperial court treat the heroes so harshly? ”

Che Guangqian opened his mouth and said persuadly.

"Jie Shuai!"

"Jie Shuai!"

"Jie Shuai!"

All the generals gathered around, and it was clear that no one wanted their previous exploits to be wiped out.

"Feng joined the army and showed them the merit book."

Fang Chongyong instructed Feng Changqing, who had been standing behind him silently.

"Okay, handsome."

Feng Changqing picked up the merit book on the table, spread it out, and sent it to the generals in turn for them to observe.

"Well, to be honest, so-and-so has already reported most of these credits before. Only the recent battle has not been reported.

But the imperial court seems to have other ideas, but they have not materialized.

Now that a certain has been dismissed, I am afraid that your credit can no longer be fulfilled, so I can only say sorry here.

I can't stand you, I can't stand the blood-stained soldiers! ”

Fang Chongyong said with a sigh.

"Jie Shuai, actually...... It's hard to say it's hard to do, and it's really easy to do. ”

Che Guangqian leaned over and said in a low voice. Everyone looked at him, and they knew that this person had always had the most ghost ideas on weekdays.

"Oh? Tell me, what's going to be easy? ”

Fang Chongyong suddenly became interested and asked quietly.

"Marshal, generals, in fact, we all know that here in Shiguo, and even in other small countries in the Western Regions, there are many big nobles and big businessmen, who are very dissatisfied with our abolition!

None of you will deny this, will you? ”

Che Guangqian looked around at everyone and asked.

"That's true."

Fang Chongyong nodded, those unlucky people were forced by the Tang Army to release slaves, if they wanted to, it would be hell!

Snatch food from other people's mouths, don't think about those people being grateful to you! There's nothing to say about that at all!

"Therefore, the last general said that if there are thieves, at night taking advantage of the empty defense of the Tang army, they raided the post house, killed people and set fire to retaliate for the Tang army's abolition of slavery in the Western Regions.

That's understandable, right? There are always some people in the world who take risks after their brains are hot.

And the Anxi Expeditionary Force, at that time, had already rushed to the south of the Wuhu River to raid the lair of the big cannibal, and did not know about it.

It's a shame to say. ”

Che Guangqian sighed with emotion and regret.

He Changqi and the others' eyes lit up, as if they had discovered a new continent, and they all looked at Che Guangqian with the same eyes as monsters.

The bandits in the Western Regions are really lawless!

Even the post house of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty dared to burn it to the ground, and then took advantage of the inconvenience of the Tang army to go out to crusade and escape!

It's so cunning!

For these bandits, you have to punch hard!

"Do you think bandits are rampant in the Western Regions?"

Fang Chongyong looked around at everyone and asked.

"Jieshuai, that must be rampant, otherwise the court will not need us to suppress bandits."

He Changqi said openly, and almost said directly that he was going to be the leader of the "bandits", and he would go to the post house where the imperial court envoy stayed tonight to do a vote.

"Yes, since the abolition of slavery, there have been small countries in the Western Regions who have disobeyed us."

"Yes, yes, these bandits are amazing, the armies of all countries can't suppress it at all, and they dare to do anything to kill people and set fires!"

The generals echoed the gossip, and no one seemed to think that the security in the Western Regions was very good.

Fang Chongyong looked at Che Guangqian, who understood, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and asked for battle: "Marshal Jie, the last general is willing to go out to Zhezhi City to suppress bandits with General He tonight, and please ask Marshal for permission!" ”

"I'm willing to go out of the city to suppress bandits, please be gracious!"

Everyone knelt down in unison and asked for battle.

Well, the military heart is available!

Fang Chongyong's heart was settled.

"Then the envoy of the imperial court, will it be unsafe in the post house?"

Fang Chongyong asked with a smile.

"An envoy of the court? What kind of court envoy? Why did the marshal say this? ”

Che Guangqian pretended to be confused and asked.

"That's right, we'll be going to Mulu City tomorrow, I don't know at all."

He Changqi touched his round head and said.

Che Guangqian hurriedly corrected him and said, "General He, you are mistaken, it's not tomorrow, but a few days ago, we have already started." ”

"Ahh Yes, yes, you see this memory! Hahaha! ”

He Changqi laughed, and all the generals laughed.

Thousands of miles in the Western Regions, where are the bones not buried.

Since some people want to die, it has to fulfill them. Everyone pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers and went into battle, and whoever wanted to take the credit had to ask them if they would agree to the knife in their hand.

At this moment, Fang Chongyong looked at the murderous generals of the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army around him, and secretly sighed in his heart.

I finally understand why An Lushan, a person with advanced diabetes, can't help but rebel.

It's because he's not fighting alone!

Since he is not fighting alone, he is naturally not alone in the final say!

……

"Ambassador Zhang, the last general feels that the situation seems to be a little wrong."

It's just night, it's located in the outer city of Zhezhi City, in a guest room in the Shiguo Post House. Liu Xixian, who was born in the army, was powerful and proficient in riding and archery, said to Zhang Xun.

Under the light of the fire, his face was full of worry.

"Something is wrong? What's wrong? ”

Zhang Xun asked curiously, he felt quite right.

Fang Chongyong accepted the holy decree without complaint, and did not ask a superfluous word. This makes the tricks that their group of people have prepared in advance not need to be displayed at all.

For example, once Fang Chongyong refused to accept the holy decree, Zhang Xun immediately sent a signal for the accompanying soldiers waiting in the palace to rush into the main hall to seize power and detain Fang Chongyong and others.

At that time, Fang Chongyong was surrounded by his cronies and generals, and there were not many soldiers guarding him, so Zhang Xun thought that he was not without a chance.

But fortunately, Fang Chongyong was knowledgeable and interesting, and he also avoided everyone tearing their faces.

This announcement went a little more smoothly than expected.

"Ambassador, don't you think it's going too well?

You must know that they have made a lot of achievements in the Western Regions before.

Whoever is deprived of his merits will be unwilling. How could he accept it as gladly as Fang Chongyong?

Even if he wanted to, his subordinates wouldn't! ”

Liu Xixian said a little eagerly, he followed Zhang Xun all the way to the post house to live, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The emperor is far away, and the person who can hold the field in the Western Regions can be a soft egg?

Only these officials and gentlemen in Chang'an feel good about themselves and think that if they have a holy purpose, everything will be fine.

"Hehe, you're too worried.

The Tang Dynasty has millions of soldiers, what waves can Fang Chongyong turn over, does he still dare to rebel?

Hahahahaha! ”

Zhang Xun couldn't help but touch the long beard on his chin and laughed.

"It's out of the water! Walk the water! ”

Suddenly, someone in the courtyard shouted.

Zhang Xun was shocked, and hurriedly opened the sliding door of the wing, only to see an arrow coming in front of him, which hit him right in the shoulder!

"Ambassador, stand back!"

The brave Liu Xixian pulled out a horizontal knife, and quickly used the horizontal knife to push away the arrows like raindrops. He pulled Zhang Yi back, overturned the table and hid behind.

Knock knock knock!

Several arrows passed through the table, leaving an exposed arrow on the other side.

Liu Xixian breathed a sigh of relief, this table case was quite thick, and it was finally not immediately shot by random arrows to death.

"Fang Chongyong! How dare he mutiny! ”

Zhang Xun gritted his teeth with hatred, and he didn't know if it was because of the pain, or he was surprised that Fang Chongyong dared to mutiny and dare to send troops to besiege and kill the envoys sent by the imperial court to deliver the decree!

Zhang Xun is still a squire in the military department, and he is still a princess!

How dare Fang Chongyong!

"It's out of the water! Fight the fire! ”

"It's out of the water! Fight the fire! ”

The sound of firefighting could be heard in the distance, from far and near.

Out of the corner of his eye, what he saw was that there were people everywhere in the courtyard shouting for fire and setting fires everywhere. When they saw the guards and attendants accompanying the mission, they were stabbed.

Either with a horizontal knife or a crossbow with a horned crossbow, but he did not carry a bucket to put out the fire.

"Ambassador, follow the Admiral and kill him! I can't stay in this house! ”

Liu Xixian shouted at Zhang Xun.

The fire outside is getting bigger and bigger, and if you can't get out, you're just waiting to die here.

If you don't get shot, you choke to death in the smoke!

"Okay, okay, trouble General Liu to open the way in front!"

Zhang Xun said a little weakly, the arrow wound on his shoulder made him almost unable to exert his strength. Originally, he was just an official who could write articles, and he didn't pass out from the pain, he was already strong in stamina.

Liu Xixian dragged Zhang Xun to the courtyard. Sure enough, there was chaos, with wood lit by fire oil everywhere, corpses all over the floor, and a scorching heat in the air.

Liu Xixian's heart sank, Fang Chongyong's gang did not leak anything, and probably didn't want them to get out of the post house alive at all.

At this moment, a rain of arrows struck, and Liu Xixian used a horizontal knife to pull away the arrows. He suddenly remembered that he was not acting alone, and when he turned his head, he saw that Zhang Xun had been hit by more than a dozen arrows, and he was already dead that he could no longer die.

It's over!

Liu Xixian was so frightened that he was almost discouraged.

Zhang Yi is his only backer and the only guarantee for him to show his strength in the Western Regions. Now that Zhang Xun is dead, even if he is alive, what can he do?

"Fang Chongyong! This rat generation! There's a kind of coming out to fight with yes yes real knives and real guns! ”

Liu Xixian gave up the treatment and inserted the horizontal knife into the sand, sat on the ground, and roared at the door of the post house!
