"Bold--" Bian Lingcheng turned pale with anger, and slapped the shorter man in front of him and roared loudly. "A mere barbarian actually dares to comment on the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. The person who kidnapped you is Elgar from Little Bolius.
Chief, what does Datang have to do with me? Besides, you said you are an envoy, what evidence do you have?!"
This sentence seemed very appropriate on the surface, but in fact, it was a disguised admission of the possibility that the other party had the status of an envoy. Feng Changqing heard this and quickly said, "Master Bian, the war has not yet been decided, there is no need to follow
He is verbose. In Feng's opinion, it is better to lock him up first and worry about other things later."
"We have clear responsibilities. Fighting is your business, and our family will not interfere. But these words look down on me, Datang. Our family should fight out the rights and wrongs!" Bian Lingcheng did not give it to others at all.
When he had the opportunity to interrupt, Feng Changqing was blocked by a clear statement of responsibility.
Seeing this, Little Ali became more and more happy. He secretly thought that he needed to go to Chang'an to bribe a few powerful officials of the Tang Dynasty and reverse the decline. With things like today, I'm afraid he would have gained something without going that far. So.
, smiled again, and said loudly: "Of course there is evidence, but it needs to be seen by someone who is in charge. Otherwise, how do I know that you are not coveting the gift I gave to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and deliberately trying to trick me!"
As soon as he heard the word "gift", Bian Lingcheng's eyes immediately flashed with fierceness. Before Feng Changqing could speak, he ordered loudly, "You idiot without eyes! We are the supervisor of the army. Bian Lingcheng, sit here."
Opposite you is Feng Changqing, the military governor of Anxi. This time, the two of us are mainly leading the troops. When someone comes, untie him first. Don’t let this barbarian have a chance to talk. In the midst of thousands of troops, we
I guess he won’t be able to cause any big trouble!”
"No!" All the guards agreed in unison, but turned their attention to Feng Changqing. Feng Changqing didn't want to get too tense with the people around the emperor, so he waved his hands lazily and whispered: "Untie him.
Come on. Don’t delay. The supervisor will appease the barbarians for the emperor!"
The guards followed the order and cut off the ropes on the fake messenger Little Ali. Little Ali first moved his tied limbs, then knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed to Feng Changqing and Bian Lingcheng.
He raised a white ring that he found out from nowhere on his body and said loudly: "Ali Adi, the envoy of the Kingdom of Great Food, is here to pay homage to the two generals of the Great Kingdom."
"Bring me the ring!" Bian Lingcheng immediately recognized that the ring was carved from fine ivory and ordered loudly.
He had no choice but to step forward and take the ring. Bian Lingcheng held it in his hand and played with it carefully while commenting with a smile, "Look at the workmanship, it is indeed the style of Mecca. Since you claim to be an envoy,
You should at least bring your credentials, right?"
"Both the certificate of credence and the gift were intercepted by the Ergatou men of Little Bulu. The certificate of credence was thrown into the bullock cart as waste paper. They embezzled most of the gift and the other half with me.
Sent together to your army's camp!"
"Bold!" Bian Lingcheng gritted his teeth in pain, "Bring Elgar back to me. He actually dared to withhold the gift given to His Majesty. It would not be a pity to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"
Feng Changqing couldn't bear to see him continue to be embarrassed, so he smiled and said in a low voice: "There is no need for the supervisor to be serious with a tribal leader. Just let him spit out the gifts in full. These tribal leaders don't
It’s already very difficult to swallow them all and then kill people and silence them!” Then he glared at little Ali fiercely and said, “I’ll send someone to look for the credentials soon. Please tell me first what specific mission you have.
!”
Little Ali was so frightened by Feng Changqing's knife-like gaze that he immediately grabbed the ground with his head and cried: "Ali Adi, the envoy from the lower country, has come to express his condolences to the Great Tang Tian Khan on the orders of the new ruler. .The old king of the country, Abu, the loyal servant of Tian Khan, has passed away! Please, for the sake of King Abu’s loyalty in the past, the king of Tian will reveal the crimes committed by our country so that the new king, Mansoor, can repent. Don't do it again, never do it again!"
Hearing this, not only Bian Lingcheng was deceived into confusion, but Feng Changqing was also stunned, "Sorry, the leader of your family, Abu, is dead?! When did it happen? What am I doing here? Haven't heard anything about it."
"Although the country is small, its territory is thousands of miles wide. It will take at least three to five months for what happened in the capital to reach the higher country. Moreover, because of the treacherous ministers in power, the new owner of the country had to temporarily block it from the outside world. News. Therefore, it is natural that the Marshal has no idea!" Little Ali kowtowed again, tears streaming down his face.
He spoke the Tang Dynasty very well, and every sentence was polished, showing an extremely good upbringing. Seeing this, Bian Lingcheng believed more than seventy percent of the identity of his envoy, but out of caution, he asked with a smile: "Messenger expresses condolences. Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable things in life. But since the country of Dashi is facing a national mourning, why don't you see any expressions of condolences from the army? Why do you dare to take the initiative to offend me, the power of the Tang Dynasty? Why don't you show up before the war? He appeared immediately after losing the battle?"
He thought that his questions were clever enough, and no one expected that any of his words were within the scope of the other party's pre-preparation. Immediately, Ali cleared his throat and said the words he had rehearsed several times with Aikelam and others. It doesn't matter. He "recited" it slowly, and at the same time he did not forget to pretend to be very aggrieved and sad, vividly interpreting the image of an envoy from a weak country who had to endure humiliation and bear the burden in front of a strong beam for the fate of the country.
Bian Lingcheng's heart, which he never knew about guilt, slowly tightened as people kept shouting "Heaven goes up to the country, heaven goes up to the country". Before Little Ali could finish the whole set of tricks, he sighed impatiently. In response, "Although our family has never heard of Abu's name, he must have been a hero for being able to reshape Dashi by himself back then. But I didn't expect that he passed away so early. It's really jealous of the talent. It's a pity. , What a pity! Your Majesty, please go down and rest first. We will discuss the matter of the truce with Feng Jiedu and then give you an answer!"
After all, it was not like Feng Changqing asked for instructions, waved his hand, and ordered the envoys to go down and rest, and to serve them carefully, so as not to lose the face of the Tang Dynasty.
With outsiders in front, Feng Changqing did not want to expose the internal conflicts of the Anxi Army, so he tolerated Lingcheng's domineering behavior. Finally, he finally expected the other party to send the "big food messenger" away, and immediately coughed lightly. After a few calls, he said seriously: "This man's eyes were shining when he spoke, and he was obviously telling lies. If we were deceived by his lies, wouldn't it be a joke to all the small countries in the Western Region?"
"I'm afraid, he may not be lying!" Bian Lingcheng gave Feng Changqing a meaningful look, as if he had guessed the other person's thoughts. "Shuai Feng is eager to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, and he has good intentions. However, as the old saying goes, It is said that attacking mourning is an ominous soldier. If it is ominous, heaven will abandon it. We, the Tang Dynasty, are a country of etiquette and a model for all nations. How can we teach people to give truth to such a big matter of right and wrong?!" (Note 1)
"What a big deal?!" Feng Changqing's voice suddenly rose, "When he was taking advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty and getting involved in the Western Regions, did he ever ask about etiquette? What was ominous? In these four battles, the military strength will be
It's moral! How can you talk nonsense about taking advantage when you see it, and immediately following the ancient etiquette when you suffer a loss? Besides, he has a large food country, what qualifications do he have to tell me about Chinese etiquette in the Tang Dynasty? "
"But he has come to pay homage to His Majesty after all. We can't make our own decisions!" Seeing Feng Changqing getting angry, Bian Lingcheng didn't worry anymore. He smiled and continued to pester.
Hearing that the other party used the emperor as a shield, Feng Changqing had no choice but to soften his tone again, "What a bullshit messenger, the supervisors should not be fooled by him. In Feng's opinion, he is at most a rewarder Xuan Gao
! Otherwise, why would we not come early or late? Our army had just passed through Xiaobolu and immediately caught up with us!"
"Even Xuan Gao, who rewarded the master, has shown that at this moment, everyone in the Dashi Kingdom has a common hatred for the enemy. If Commander Feng is greedy for power and advances, I am afraid he will not get any benefits!"
Generally speaking, crafty and sycophantic people are far more articulate than ordinary people. This is because their thoughts are usually focused on this, rather than on how to get things done. Feng Changqing is a military commander, and he is not good at arguing with others.
Soon, he was completely refuted by Bian Lingcheng's previous sentence "Zuo Zhuan" and the latter sentence "Guoyu", quoting scriptures. He was so angry that he had no choice but to commit the crime and shouted: "Feng doesn't care whether he is united or not. I am Anxi
The army is now on the string and has to launch its attack. There is no reason to stop just because others are barely looking for margins!"
"In this case, Bian will have no choice but to apologize to Feng Jiedu!" Bian Lingcheng cupped his hands and threatened with a sneer.
"Whatever. Feng is just waiting for you to impeach him!" Feng Changqing did not show weakness, curled his lips and responded disdainfully.
Seeing that Feng Changqing was not threatened, Bian Lingcheng immediately became angry. He stood up and shouted loudly: "Does Feng Jiedu want to support his troops and respect himself? This place is thousands of miles away from the capital. When the imperial edict from the capital comes down, you must be already on the mountain."
We have carved a huge world for ourselves. Haha, this calculation is indeed used cleverly! It's a pity that since we are supervisors, even if we risk our lives, we have to keep an eye on this elite team for His Majesty.
!”
"It's hard to put this hat on Feng's head!" Feng Changqing also stood up in anger, "I led Feng to capture the city of Kabulo, so I will naturally plead guilty to the court."
"That's not up to you! Supervising the army, supervising the army, can't control the direction of the troops, what do you want the supervising army to do!" Bian Lingcheng walked around from behind the table and stood in front of Feng Changqing angrily.
Since Fumeng Lincha was the commander-in-chief of Anxi, he had been ordered to supervise the army, so he had accumulated a lot of connections in the Anxi army. Several civilian officials accompanying the Chinese army were worried about conflicts and suffering disaster, so they quickly put down their
With official duties in hand, he stepped forward to dissuade him: "Master Jiedu, please calm down for the time being. Master Supervisor of the Army, don't get angry either. Isn't that how to deal with an envoy from a lower country? You two don't want to be so serious. It's better to find a few prisoners to identify them first.
Could this man be a fake? If the captives recognize him, then what he just said must have been all nonsense. If the captives don’t recognize him, it’s not too late to start calculating again!”
Bian Lingcheng was originally trying to hold on to Feng Changqing. Once he found the steps, he immediately took the opportunity to go down. "Our family is not blindly stubborn, but it involves the face of the Celestial Empire, so we have to be careful!"
"Huh!" Feng Changqing didn't want to be laughed at, so he threw down his sleeves and agreed to the request of his staff.
As the judge of Jiedu Prefecture, Cen Shen naturally had to take part in such errands. In order to win favor for Feng Changqing, he deliberately called out all the prisoners accompanying the army and told them clearly in advance. If anyone could reveal the identity of the fake envoy
, immediately let him go home, and gave him travel expenses and a heavy reward. However, what made him very disappointed was that among the more than 200 captives accompanying the army, no one revealed the true identity of the envoy of Dashi. On the contrary, the envoy's clothes and appearance
, further confirming that he is indeed of noble blood and may be very close to the royal family.
Cen Shen had no choice but to return to the Central Army to pay the order angrily. Bian Lingcheng's arrogance was immediately inspired again. He laughed three times and said to Feng Changqing: "Is that what our family thinks? This guy seems to have seen the world."
Yes! How can a mere businessman have such a graceful and noble demeanor? He wears a crown like a monkey, and he can't pretend to look like it no matter how he dresses! Fengjie Du thinks that is true or not?"
Feng Changqing came from a humble background, but after achieving a certain degree of control, his temperament still retained the simplicity of the past. Therefore, he was always ridiculed by some people behind his back. At this moment, he was ridiculed by Bian Lingcheng in person, and he blushed uncontrollably.
He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "The Supervisory Army said he was a messenger. Naturally, the more he searched, the more evidence he got. But Feng knew that the opportunity to fight could not be delayed. It doesn't matter whether you impeach Feng or fabricate a black case against Feng.
, brothers’ westward march cannot stop here. Otherwise, once the morale of the army is hit, it will be difficult to gather again.”
"Really? Then why not call in all the soldiers and ask them if they would like to risk going west with you. Or would they rather take the overall situation into consideration?" Bian Lingcheng felt that he had the upper hand and suggested with a sneer.
This is also a solution, especially when the opinions of the coach and the supervisor cannot be unified. Otherwise, even if Feng Changqing forcibly leads the troops to fight, Bian Lingcheng, relying on his status as the supervisor, will make some provisions for him in terms of food, grass and baggage.
His hands and feet were enough to destroy the entire Anxi army.
Considering this, Feng Changqing finally sighed and whispered: "Just follow the wishes of the supervisor. If the brothers are no longer willing to continue to advance westward, we will stop the front here this year and wait until the spring of next year.
, I think the imperial court will also have specific instructions. At that time, Feng will lead the troops to the west. I hope that the supervisor can keep an eye on the food route for Feng, and don't let the young people take the opportunity to cause trouble!"
"Yes, we are all dedicated to the country, why should we two?!" Finally forcing Feng Changqing to give in to him, Bian Lingcheng was very proud. Supervising the army, naturally he has to supervise the entire army for the emperor! Humph,
Killing our nephew and thinking that our family will cooperate with you wholeheartedly, huh...
He grinned sneer, and a coldness shot out from his eyes.
Note 1: It is ominous to cut off mourning, from "Zuo Zhuan". If it is ominous, heaven will abandon it, from "Guoyu". Eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty were very educated, but it is a pity that like some experts today, their knowledge was not used in the right place.
