Ta-ta-ta!

Seeing the mountain pass getting closer...

A group of cavalry rushed out of the mountain pass.

The flag was fluttering, and a general was grinning ferociously under the flag.

"It's Wei Ming!"

Someone among the rebels screamed in despair, "It's Shi Zhongtang's general."

Surrounded from front to back, thousands of rebels watched uneasily as the big flag slowly approached.

Shi Zhongtang was wearing armor and had slightly chubby cheeks, which made his eyes look a little small, but he looked cold and majestic.

"Dismount your horse and abandon your sword. Except for the leader, I will spare you the chance to die!"

He raised his hand, "I'm very busy, ten breaths."

The leader was screaming, "Shi Zhongtang is cruel, don't listen to him, let's rush out and kill one of them to be enough..."

But the rebels under his command dismounted without hesitation, abandoned their swords, and knelt on the ground.

Several leaders were alone on horseback, watching in despair as Shi Zhongtang rode over.

Until face to face.

"Draw the sword!"

Shi Zhongtang looked at the leaders and said indifferently.

Several leaders were trembling all over.

One of them said: "Spare me, I am willing to be the slave of the deputy envoy!"

"Draw the sword!" Shi Zhongtang said again.

Some are impatient.

"He deliberately wants to kill us..."

Choking!

Choking!

The sword flashed several times.

Shi Zhongtang sheathed his sword.

The headless corpses of several leaders swayed a few times on their horses before falling heavily off their horses.

The rebels kneeling on the ground were shaking like chaff.

Shi Zhongtang rode his horse slowly among them.

"You should have been executed for treason, and your whole family should have been enslaved. But God has a good life...I am also from a foreign race, and I know that life in the mountains is difficult..."

Those rebels felt a warm current surge into their hearts.

The fear and disgust gradually dissipated.

"The people of the Tang Dynasty outside the mountains have no worries about food and clothing, but in the mountains they have to rub hemp for clothing. When they get sick, they can't even find a doctor, so they can only follow the arrangements of the mountain gods. You have waited enough for such days."

The rebels looked up, with confusion in their eyes.

"Now there are two ways. One is to work as a coolie; the other is to follow me and serve me."

Shi Zhongtang reined in his horse, "Who is willing to serve me? Stand up!"

One by one, the rebels stood up slowly.

The corners of Shi Zhongtang's mouth raised slightly, and he said coldly: "Then, from now on, you will be a member of the southern Xinjiang army. Assemble!"

He rode out and Chunyu stepped forward, "Deputy envoy, Zhang Chumao may be suspicious."

"You've already fallen out, why should you worry about his suspicion?"

"Why not let those leaders go?"

"The rebels are stupid, but the leader is smarter. Kill the leader and the whole group of snakes will be headless. They can only rely on me, Chunyu."

"Deputy Ambassador."

"Take someone back to report your victory."

"yes."

Six days later.

Shi Zhongtang returned to Qinghe.

Went straight to the Jiedushi Mansion.

Compared with when he was in Northern Xinjiang, Zhang Chumao had gained a lot of weight. Looking at Shi Zhongtang who came in, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "What are you doing here?"

Shi Zhongtang said: "I have thousands of additional sergeants here, and I want to register them."

Only by making records can you have money and food.

Zhang Chumao sneered, "Those rebels? How many rebels have you recruited one after another in the past two years? Chang'an is very generous and gives you money and food as much as you ask. It can be seen that there are people in the harem who are good at becoming officials!"

This is a mockery of Shi Zhongtang's shamelessness and his recognition of his concubine as his mother.

Shi Zhongtang's eyes were gloomy, "I said, create a register!"

Zhang Chumao said coldly: "No!"

Shi Zhong said calmly: "I'm just saying something, I don't need you to nod."

He could contact Chang'an directly, but under pressure from Chang'an, the Ministry of War could only register the warriors he recruited and distribute money and food every year.

"Rely on that woman?"

Others were afraid of the imperial concubine, but Zhang Chumao, whose father-in-law was the father-in-law of the country, was not afraid.

Shi Zhongtang glanced at him, turned around and left.

Chunyu followed, "The deputy envoy should scold him."

"Chun Yu, do things when you do things. The most important thing is that things are done. Is the use of words and words useful?"

"Sometimes it works."

"Then I'll cut out his tongue."

The two of them left the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion and prepared to go back.

Ta-ta-ta!

More than ten riders came slowly.

"Deputy Shi."

The leader turned out to be a chamberlain.

Shi Zhongtang dismounted and saluted, and said respectfully: "How are you, Aye? How are you, Aniang?"

There was a touch of contempt in the servant's eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Your Majesty and your empress are well."

Shi Zhongtang breathed a sigh of relief, "I pray for Aye and Aniang every day in southern Xinjiang, praying that they can live to be ninety-nine..."

The person who is addicted to the so-called long live and cannot extricate himself is not a fool, but Sabi.

Any emperor with some brains would sneer at this.

Even if they want to live longer, they will look for other methods, such as making elixirs and using their stomachs as a reactor.

The chamberlain dismounted and said, "Your Majesty has something to say."

Afterwards, the group went to Shi Zhongtang's home.

"Why don't you check in?"

The waiter was a little dissatisfied.

Shi Zhongtang smiled honestly. "Jiedushi is dissatisfied with me! I will be ridiculed there."

"oh!"

The chamberlain sneered and then said: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you, how is southern Xinjiang?"

Shi Zhongtang stood with his hands tied, as if the emperor was right in front of him, "Since the beginning of spring, I have led the army to clear out the rebels twice, and now southern Xinjiang is stable."

"How about Zhang Chumao?"

The chamberlain stared at Shi Zhongtang.

Shi Zhongtang recognized that this chamberlain was needed by the emperor. He lowered his head and hesitated, "Wisdom."

When you praise someone, you usually have to leave some room for error.

Wisdom is more general.

More like coping.
