Chapter 2831 Its easy to get on the bus but hard to get off
It is actually not difficult to solve the problems in the Western Regions.
Whether it's killing people, arresting people, or sending out an army, it's actually not that difficult.
As long as you make up your mind, killing people is like killing pigs, so what's the big deal?
But it would be difficult to completely solve problems like those in the Western Regions.
Even though Fei Qian emphasized several times that it was temporary, or called a trial, it did not make Guo Tu feel relaxed. After all, this also reflected in a certain aspect the construction of a system that is suitable for the Western Regions and should be applicable to other regions.
How difficult is it to apply this "rule" to the future?
"Western Regions..." Feng Ji pondered, his eyes flickering, "Lu Fengxian..."
"I mean, Lu Fengxian will not die except for his great rebellion." Guo Tu whispered, his eyes subconsciously glanced left and right, like a thief observing the environment before taking action, "Fengxian, this name
It’s quite appropriate, and it’s worthy of being honored by the ancestors...』
"But if Lu Fengxian is not guilty, then..." Feng Ji also lowered his voice, "How will the merit examination department determine the blame and verify it?"
Although he agreed readily to the Husband's Festival Hall, as a classic workplace veteran, patting his chest and patting his butt were deeply engraved in his bones.
No one likes people from the examination department to check things down.
So should we go through a process or be serious about it?
Feng Ji was very hesitant. Because these two choices could not coexist, both sides would only make him appear incompetent, and he would not be able to sit in the examination department for a long time. Feng Ji was also very clear about the idea of General Hussars.
The merit examination department has officially become the hunting dog of internal officials for scent inspection.
There is actually nothing wrong with being a claw hawk dog. What is even worse is those who cannot even be a claw hawk dog...
Those that are useless will be skinned and hung to dry.
Or chop it into pieces on the spot and add it to the pot.
The Chinese custom has always been so sincere.
"The hussar can use you and me," Guo Tu stroked his beard, his expression a little gloomy, "Even you and I are not from Jingxiang."
"Ah?" Feng Ji raised his eyebrows, and he immediately figured it out. His eyebrows suddenly turned into eight characters, "Oh... this is really..." Feng Ji shivered subconsciously, "Hussars... this is sending Lu Fengxian to the Western Regions."
At that time, you just thought about it?』
Guo Tu lowered his head and exhaled softly, "Maybe it's Li Wenyou or Jia Wenhe... But Lu Fengxian definitely doesn't know this... No, even if Lu Fengxian knows, he will definitely go to the Western Regions
...』
Feng Ji was silent for a while, then nodded, "Of course."
No choice.
Just like Guo Tu and Feng Ji now, they also have no choice.
Some people may say that the worst thing to do is go home and sell sweet potatoes!
Not to mention whether there are sweet potatoes at the moment, even if you really go home to sell sweet potatoes, how will you feel when those temporary workers rush up to grab the cart selling sweet potatoes and forcefully pack up the cart and the sweet potatoes?
Can you say such free and easy words?
You can indeed choose not to eat people, but first you must at least have the ability to protect yourself from being eaten.
"With the examination department in the light, the Wen department can hide in the dark..." Feng Ji sighed, stretched out his hands, and unfolded his wide sleeves, "At this moment, I feel like I am standing on the battlefield,
In front of me are countless swords, guns and arrows, and cold light flashes..."
Some time ago, the matters that the Youwen Division was responsible for were too complicated, both internally and externally. If the Kaoong Division could become independent, then the internal affairs of the Kaoong Division would become the main responsibility of the Kaoong Division.
The company can free up more energy to do more valuable things.
The Kaogong Division became a shield in front of the Youwen Division.
The light is sparkling and sparkling.
This made Feng Ji extremely famous when he appeared on the scene, but it only stopped there. Because Feng Ji was destined to do the things of a sinner, and the last position he could reach was that of a censor, and forget about anything else. If
It is said that Fengji wants to take this opportunity to sell favors, form gangs and so on. Don't forget that behind the Kao Gong Secretary there is also a Wen Secretary...
Fengji was in pain because of this, and he could already feel the pain of the shield.
Guo Tu smiled bitterly and said: "You and I should be more serious... Hussars are not easy to deceive..."
Feng Ji had a headache, and so did Guo Tu.
Although Wei Duan fell and Guo Tu finally climbed up and became the dean of the Senate, it does not mean that he can just lie down and rest.
Wei Duan's pain back then has now become Guo Tu's.
The work of the Senate is also very difficult.
Because before the Han Dynasty, whether it was Confucian scholars or high-ranking officials, when they wanted to find some laws or theoretical basis, they would look for it in the scriptures, and then say that this is the wisdom of ancient sages, and this is a method that has been proven to be effective, and so on.
So no matter what the problem is or what it is specifically, it is actually easy to solve.
The contention of a hundred schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period brought about many splendid collisions of ideas. However, these things did not become a ladder for future generations to continue to flourish. Instead, they became an excuse for future generations to be lazy, and were played like matryoshka dolls by these lazy gentry children.
But now the requirements for hussars are different.
Feiqian wanted a new law.
Just like Shu Sun Tong at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, to have brand new rules is to create them from scratch. This is naturally much more difficult than just picking up a book and then copying it wherever you go.
Since Guo Tu left the Huqi Mansion Yamen, he has actually been thinking about the Western Regions in his mind. He should refer to the Han Dynasty, or the regulations and codes of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. As a result, he still has not thought of it until now.
Something that can be related.
The Western Regions was a new problem faced by the Han Dynasty, and it took three to four hundred years for the Han Dynasty to solve this problem without establishing a system. How could Guo Tu find any ready-made answer?
According to Hussar's intention, Guo Tu also understood that this was a different, brand-new law that would be produced according to different situations. Even if some of the old laws were adopted, they would still have to be based on the original ones.
There are more improvements and extensions, and the days of picking and choosing among old papers are gone forever.
Guo Tu still remembered the pain that everyone in the Quan Shen Law Academy went through when Wei Duan was about to introduce the Corruption Law. Now, it was his turn to taste the pain.
When the Corruption Law first appeared, not only Wei Duan but also Guo Tu felt that the provisions of the Corruption Law were too strict and unlikely to be implemented in detail. As a result, Longyou Longxi slapped Guo Tu on the face.
Now, the law of corruption has become a law that officials, including the three assistants of Chang'an, must know, and it has begun to be gradually clarified and implemented in many places.
Next, if the law of corruption and corruption is also implemented in areas like the Western Regions, which were originally regarded as frontiers in the eyes of the Han people, then where else in the world will it not apply?
"You and I are not as good at the hussar's conspiracy... If the Western Region is completed, it will be a great achievement for thousands of years..." Guo Tu said slowly, "This is something that has not happened in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years... You and I are already here."
It’s in the car..."
Guo Tu stood up and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Since this is the path you and I chose in the past, it can be the same now... Join the Law Academy... Since I have become the president of the Academy, from today on, I can join the Law Academy."
In the courtyard, if the new laws of the Western Regions are not implemented, I will not go home... As for the exam department, in my opinion, it is better to be stricter... After all, kindness comes from above, which is the right way. If it is a private favor,
I'm afraid it will be troublesome..."
After a moment of silence, Guo Tu said, "Hussar is different from others... This is an opportunity... You know, Hussar has always liked conspiracy..."
Feng Ji sighed and nodded.
After a while, Guo Tu stood up and said goodbye.
Fengji sent him out of the door, then returned to his home. After sitting for a while, he stood up and ordered people to prepare clothes and toiletries. He also prepared to go to the office of the Examination Department to work.
I don’t know since when, the leisurely life of an official seemed to have disappeared from the Sanfu area of Chang’an. The bigger the official position, the heavier the responsibility, the more things to do, and the more painful the headache...
If Guo Tu and Feng Ji had known about the current situation, would they still have chosen to come to Chang'an?
Maybe not.
Maybe.
But just like what Guo Tu said, now that they are tied to Fei Qian's chariot, it is no longer up to them to decide how to continue walking, nor does it mean that they can easily get off if they want to.
Already...
……o(*////▽////*)q……
Western Region, outside Xihai City.
Someone who also got on the bus but found it difficult to get off was Matthew.
At the beginning, Matthew's cleansing process went smoothly.
When he first wanted to become the eldest son of Xihai City, Ma Xiu was a little scared at first. After all, he had been a thief for many years and suddenly heard that he had the opportunity to become an official. Even though he was the eldest son, he still couldn't believe it.
After all, Matthew used the so-called banner of doing justice for heaven...
It's like slapping yourself in the face.
But, eating is not shabby, right?
Although it is said that the flag has fallen, Pound is dead, and Matthew himself has become a joke, even if it is a joke, people still have to live. If Matthew, who is almost at zero, wants to turn around, he must have some money and food. And now
The people in Kushan have fled far away, to who knows where. If Matthew doesn't make some money, the gang will really break up.
Therefore, although Matthew was also afraid that if he was recognized by the officials of Xihai, wouldn't it be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap? But he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and come. After he and Fatty An's people reconnected
After crossing the line and arriving at Xihai City, he suddenly realized that his worries were unnecessary.
No one cares about him at all!
Just like Fatty An said, as long as Matthew can bring enough dried meat, no one will ask a question!
So much so that Matthew had not used a single word of the excuse he had prepared for a long time...
If someone asks, "What kind of meat is this?"
Matthew planned to say, "This is dog meat. Jackal meat."
Next time I'll change it to rat meat, or some other kind of meat.
If someone still asks, "Are there jackals over there? Why didn't we find any jackals?"
Matthew would say, "They are all deep in the Gobi...we have to go deeper..."
Then, not a single question was asked.
The meat was collected and then sent to the front one after another as quickly as possible, because the meat had only been simply pickled and could not be stored for a long time.
With the money in hand, Ma Xiu and others were relieved, and they could even replenish some consumption outside the camp outside Xihai City...
Everything seemed to be getting better, and Matthew even began to imagine that he would move towards the light from now on.
As for his previous evaluation and attitude towards such "light", it doesn't matter. Do all people have to eat? How can eating be considered shabby?
But when Zhang Liao came, everything changed.
First, all meat purchases were stopped, and then General Ma Pian of Xihai Camp asked him to "act in a play"...
Matthew refused at first, but General Ma Pian sneered and said that he was not qualified to refuse, because he was not only a big man, but also a horse thief. Only then did Matthew understand that the identity he thought he had concealed well was actually
It's like a mole on a bald man's head, very obvious.
When the acting started, everything went smoothly.
The soldiers in the Xihai camp seemed to be frightened by Matthew's surprise attack. Not only did they not attack, they also did not defend tenaciously. Even the arrows they shot were sparse, and then there was a sound in the camp.
There was a loud noise, as if there was chaos not only on the walls of the camp, but also inside the camp!
This reminded Matthew of the previous forward camp...
At that time, the forward camp was just like the Xihai camp in front of us, chaotic and weak.
if……
Matthew couldn't help but thought about it again and again.
At first it was just a little bit, but later it became a thought with gritted teeth. Just when he was about to be unable to bear it anymore and turn his thoughts into actions, Zhang Liao rushed out with his people...
Zhang Liao was like a tiger rushing out of the cave. He knocked down the horse thieves in the part closest to the camp in three strokes, and then tore them apart until they were bloody and bloody!
There were also a large group of horse thieves, and perhaps they thought of the previous forward camp just like Matthew, and were still clamoring to wreak havoc at the gate of the camp. As a result, the gate of the camp suddenly opened, and before these things could happen,
The horse thief was so excited that he was almost crushed into powder by Zhang Liao and his men!
An idea flashed in Matthew's mind, and he broke into a cold sweat!
be cheated!
Any acting, any weakness, any cooperation, any omissions in defense are all fake! They are all traps!
Matthew reined in the reins, began to slow down and turn around, shouting, "You've fallen into the trap! Run, run!"
As twilight fell, Matthew realized that his underwear had already been wet with cold sweat before he knew it. The chilly prairie night wind blew through his vest and chest.
……?(oДo)?……
Zhang Liao is searching for Matthew.
In other words, searching for the leader of the horse thieves.
Zhang Liao did not get any information about Ma Xiu from General Ma Pian and other military academies, but he knew that outside the camp, there must be someone as a leader commanding this group of horse thieves.
These horse thieves do not have the same equipment. Even if some horse thieves wear uniforms similar to those of the Han army, there are still many horse thieves wearing only various kinds of animal skins and coarse cloth, and many of them are not wearing armor.
There are also various types of weapons, some are more like the Han cavalry configuration, with spears and swords, some are more like the Hu people, only with spears and long bows, and some use weapons like Qiang
There are flails that are common among human weapons, and some even have hammers and sticks.
Not only are their weapons and armor different, but their faces are also very different. Some have deep eyes and high noses, some have flat faces and small noses, and some have small eyes and big beards like Xianbei.
…
Who is the leader?
Zhang Liao could not remember Ma Xiu.
Even if Zhang Liao met Ma Xiu, after so many years, Ma Xiu's appearance has changed, and it may not be the same as what Zhang Liao remembered. Just like a playmate when he was a child, perhaps in his memory, he is still as innocent and cute.
, they are very close, but when they meet each other when they grow up, they will find that they are completely different. The original innocent smile has turned into a greasy fake smile, and the slender body has turned into a round belly...
Therefore, Zhang Liao could only judge who was the leader of this group of horse thieves through observation.
Zhang Liao was still a little worried about the Xihai Camp, even though Meng Hua and some people were helping to defend the camp. Meng Hua originally came from the Xihai Camp, so he was more or less in the Xihai Camp.
It has some prestige, which is helpful for stabilizing the situation in the Xihai Camp as quickly as possible. It was even Menghua who led some people from the Xihai Camp to solve the "ambush" of General Ma Pian...
But after all, it cannot be said that there are no risks at all.
Therefore, Zhang Liao did not dare to let the horse thieves really rush into the Xihai camp. He could only find a way to deal with the leaders of these horse thieves outside to eliminate the hidden dangers outside Xihai City.
The flames of anger were burning in Zhang Liao's heart. He really didn't expect that these soldiers in the West Sea had fallen into the same league as horse thieves. But after all, Zhang Liao was different from Lu Bu. He did not lose his mind because of the anger in his heart.
He will still calmly analyze the situation on site and make the best response.
Suddenly, Zhang Liao noticed that there was something different about the group of horse thieves far ahead...
It's not the people who are horse thieves that are different, it's the horses.
That group of horse thieves had about twenty horses riding on them. When they were running, the pace of the horses was almost the same as each other!
When people stay together for a long time, they will become somewhat similar. Even two people who are originally unrelated, such as a husband and wife, will become so-called husband and wife if they stay together for a long time. There are even cases where a girl stays in a dormitory of a university for a long time.
, even my aunt is in sync...
This is especially true for war horses. Due to the habits of war horses themselves, if the pace of the war horses in a war horse group is inconsistent, that is, the war horses run at different speeds, then in a group of running war horses, they will inevitably be beaten before and after.
A situation of being pulled apart and disconnected from each other.
This is actually like a herd of wild horses that are always crowded together when running, as if the ones in front and those behind will bump into each other at the next moment, but there will never be any collision, and the herds of war horses in those movies and TV series
They are always sparse, even if they are playing the role of a mighty army that is always victorious. The horses are not familiar with each other, so they are not synchronized at all, and they dare not get too close.
And what's very interesting is that when a group of war horses gets used to a certain person being the leader, the war horse under him will automatically become the leader. Even if the other war horses run, they will not surpass the leader...
Therefore, the guy at the front of that group of war horses must be at least an important role among this group of horse thieves!
And that guy was wearing a Han army red and black cloak!
Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed, he raised his spear and said, "Send me the general's order! Stop and kill the man in the red cloak in front!"
