Chapter 497

Everyone makes their own moves

Author: Gongsun Wujiu

Everyone makes their own moves

Tian Guangming made another move with his firm words.

The emperor was also infected by his confidence at this time, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Tian, ​​you are defeated!"

After the last piece fell, the emperor looked at Tian Guangming with a smile.

Tian Guangming stood up and paid homage: "Your Majesty is very wise, but I am inferior to you!"



Outside Yumen Pass, a cavalry force of nearly a thousand people suddenly jumped out from under the horizon.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The soldiers on guard at Guancheng immediately blew the horn.

The soldiers guarding the gate immediately closed the city gate after hearing the sound of the trumpet.

However, the soldiers' faces did not show any nervousness.

The three soldiers who were guarding the border a few days ago have already received the notice.

Hussar General Shi Fugong and Xinjian Hou Wu Zheng came to Hexi to express their condolences to Lu Shuai on behalf of the Protector of the Western Regions.

The soldiers guarding the gate were just following the rules when they closed the city gate.

"Da da da!"

Zhao Guang galloped to the gate and said, "Second and Third Son, General Shi and Xinjian Hou are approaching. Please open the gate."

"Please also show the customs clearance documents!!"

At this time, the captain of Yumen was still Li Mao. Hearing Zhao Guang's voice under the wall, he immediately responded.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guang rode up and took out the customs clearance documents.

"Put down the hanging blue!"

Li Mao saw clearly on the wall and immediately ordered the hanging basket to be put down.

When Zhao Guang saw the hanging basket lowered, he stepped forward and put the customs clearance document into the basket.

He put down the document, closed it and immediately lifted the basket up.

After Li Mao carefully checked the document and confirmed that it was correct, he ordered the door to be opened and closed.

Then Li Mao also led people down the wall and waited before closing the door.

"Thank you Captain!"

Zhao Guang thanked him and observed the defenders as usual.

The defense at this time was not relaxed, and the soldiers in the city gate were always ready to deal with emergencies.

Zhao Guang saw this scene from the side and was filled with admiration in his heart.

I sighed in my heart that Lieutenant Li was indeed Junhou's old subordinate, but it was a pity that he had bad luck. If he had followed Junhou to the Western Regions back then, he might not have been able to control the great Han lords in one town now.

Li Mao and Zhao Guang didn't wait long. Fu Jiezi and his party had already arrived outside the gate.

"Yumen Captain Li Mao has met Fu Changshi and Xinjian Hou!"

Li Mao first saluted Fu Jiezi and Wu Zheng on the imperial carriage.

Fu Jiezi and Wu Zheng also got off the imperial carriage and paid Li Mao a favor.

"But Captain Li is in person!"

Fu Jiezi smiled and bowed his hand to Li Mao.

"It's the official!"

Fu Jiezi looked at Guancheng and said: "Li Xiaowei is indeed a veteran of the Han Dynasty!"

Li Mao said humbly: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just a mere guarding school lieutenant, how dare you call yourself a veteran!"

Wu Zheng said from the side: "Colonel Li is too modest. Your Majesty often said that if Colonel Li had entered the Western Regions back then, he would be a general now...

"When I leave the Luntai this time, the Lord has given me many instructions to say hello to Lieutenant Li on his behalf!"

Li Mao heard this and sighed: "Thank you, General Hussars, for remembering...Li is really ashamed!"

At this time, Li Mao couldn't help but think of what happened at Jingbian.

If I had entered the Western Regions with Marquis Yunyang back then, how could I have wasted half my life?



Fu Jiezi and Wu Zheng rested for a day at Yumen Pass and set out on the road again on the third day.

On the way, Wu Zheng asked Fu Jiezi: "What does Mr. Fu think of Captain Li?"

Fu Jiezi sighed and said: "This Lieutenant Li is indeed a talented general as the king said, but it is a pity that such a talented person has been buried like this..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zheng looked back in the direction of Yumen Pass, and then said slowly:

"Thousand-mile horses often exist but bole does not always exist." The ancients sincerely did not deceive me!"

As Wu Zheng spoke, he also sighed in his heart, "If my tribe had not been incorporated by Zhang Yue, I might still be living like a savage in the mountains of Longxi."

"Without Zhang Yue's appreciation, I wouldn't be where I am now!"

Fu Jiezi also stared at Wu Zheng at this time, and then said: "What the Marquis of Xinjian said is true, what a pity for Li Mao!"

Wu Zheng showed a smile at this time: "Isn't this Li Mao a good help given to Mr. Fu by God?"

Fu Jiezi also laughed at this time: "It makes sense!"

After rushing for three days, Fu Jiezi and his party finally arrived in Juyan.



Fu Jiezi and his entourage arrived in Juyan, and Zhang Yue's memorial to Chang'an was also sent to Chang'an.

After receiving Zhang Yue's memorial, Huo Guang immediately sent people to invite Prime Minister Yang Chang and right general Zhang Anshi to the general's mansion.

"Prime Minister, General Right! This is the memorial sent by General Hussar. Please take a look at it."

After the two arrived at the General's Mansion, Huo Guang immediately ordered Tian Yannian to pass Zhang Yue's memorial to Yang Chang and Zhang Anshi.

Yang Chang took the memorial and asked with a smile: "It's a memorial from Marquis Yunyang, but Marquis Xinyang gained something even though he was poisoned!"

For more than a year, almost every month, a batch of goods obtained from body poisons has been shipped from the Western Regions.

From Chang'an to the ministers down to the head of Guizhou, everyone is becoming more and more interested in body poison.

In order to open up the road from southwestern barbarians to Shendu as soon as possible, Chang'an has also sent three additional batches of slave labor to Han Jian.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Chang asked this question.

Huo Guang shook his head: "The Prime Minister will know it as soon as he sees it!"

Yang Chang and Zhang Anshi had already opened the memorial at this time.

Soon Yang Chang made a sound of surprise: "Marquis Yunyang actually recommended Duke Fu as the governor of Hexi Province!"

Zhang Anshi looked at the memorial and the content was beyond his expectation.

Huo Guang stared at the two men for a moment and said, "What do the Prime Minister and General You think of what General Hussar said!"

After some thought, Yang Chang said: "I was quite surprised when I first saw this memorial, but after thinking about it carefully, Mr. Fu is indeed the best candidate to be the governor of Hexi Province!"

After Yang Chang finished speaking, Huo Guang asked Zhang Anshi: "What do you think, General Right?"

Zhang Anshi said with a serious face: "I think it is very good to have Mr. Fu as the governor of Hexi Province!"

After Zhang Anshi finished speaking, Yang Chang also asked: "What does the general think?"

Huo Guang said: "Fu Jiezi has no experience in commanding an army alone. I am afraid that someone in the court will not accept it!"

Zhang Anshi heard this and said: "Although Mr. Fu did not command the army alone, when he was the general of the Hussars, he also made a lot of contributions in planning as a counselor..."

"Besides, Marquis Yunyang also recommended Marquis Xinjian to be the Deputy Historian of Jiedu... Marquis Xinjian is a famous general in the world, and Anxi can be determined with his help!"

Yang Chang hesitated at this time: "This Xinjian Hou was born as a bodyguard of the Hussars General. If he is the Deputy Envoy of Anxi Jiedu..."

Yang Chang suddenly became silent when he said this, but everyone understood his concerns.

Zhang Yue now controls the entire Western Region. If he controls Hexi again, his power will be too great.

Zhang Anshi said disapprovingly: "Prime Minister, you are worrying too much. How can you not know what kind of person Mr. Fu is..."

Yang Chang frowned and said: "Of course I know Mr. Fu, but it is still disturbing that Xinjian Hou is the deputy envoy of Hexi Jiedushi!"

Zhang Anshi laughed and said again: "Does the Prime Minister think that Mr. Fu's ability will be controlled by others?"
