Seeing that Cen Shen's face was getting more and more gloomy, Wang Shisan gradually became wary. He punched the opponent with a smile and said in a low voice: "Why, Old Cen, you look like you have something on your mind. What's the matter, are you having a hard time recently?"
! If it’s hard for you, don’t go through it, just follow my governor. With our friendship over the past few years, why don’t you worry about joining the army?”
"Ha!" Cen Shen instinctively hid away and kept smiling bitterly, "It's an old problem. I feel uncomfortable every spring. I can't compare to your body, which is the result of martial arts training!"
"You scholars are just weak!" Seeing that Cen Shen refused to finish the second half of his sentence, Wang Shisan added with a smile, "But the climate in our Dawan side is actually better than that in Shule. Although
Spring came a little later, but the wind is much lighter. The rain is also more abundant than here! If you go, your life will definitely be more comfortable than here."
His original intention was to recruit a civilian staff for Wang Xun and enrich the team. After all, Cen Shen once served as a judge under Feng Changqing's account, and his ability was obvious to all. Unexpectedly, when Cen Shen heard these words, it turned out to be a completely different story.
Taste.' Having poor health and bones, does that mean Cen, a scholar, has no bones? After Feng Shuai left, if Cen hadn't worked hard here, Anxi Town might have fallen apart! How could you have had such an easy life in Dawan?
This time, where to go to find supplies along the way...?'
Feeling extremely wronged, Cen could not speak out to defend himself. He could only smile again and said with a grimace: "I would like to go. But where can I get away now? To be honest, Cen really envy you, hundreds of people.
After leaving Congling, a vast world opened up in the blink of an eye! If Cen had followed ruthlessly back then, he wouldn't still be wearing a green robe now! (Note 1), alas, let's not talk about this! Regret Medicine
There has never been anywhere to buy it. How did you fight the first few battles? Cen has only seen the battle reports here, and does not know the details. Every time he re-deduces it with rice chips, I feel that you are almost absolute.
Surviving everything, winning in an extremely thrilling way, and being extremely beautiful..."
"They were not forced out!" Wang Shisan immediately beamed when he mentioned the series of battles to capture Dawan. "At that time, we only had more than 600 people, and the surrounding situation was very dark. Everyone risked their lives except
, there is no other way to think of. Fortunately, our King Commander..."
He took the initiative to display his flag and used the Anxi army to intimidate the princes of Yaochashui; he defeated the three thousand horse thieves head-on and took the remaining bandits for his own use. He used the trick of doubting the soldiers to confuse the soldiers and cleverly captured Dawan City; he reorganized the old Anxi army.
, surprise attacks are all mentioned. Several things, everyone did them more beautifully and more enjoyable. It's no wonder that Wang Shisan forgot about it as soon as he mentioned it.
Cen Shen heard the excitement coming from beside him, and he really regretted that he didn't go with him. Based on Commander Feng's trust in him at that time, as long as he proposed to go on an expedition with Wang Xun, his status in the team would definitely be different from that of Yu Wenzhi and Song Wu.
Under this situation, if you survive a few battles, you may not be able to accumulate the qualifications to become a feudal lord. At least you can win the title of governor of Dayuan. It is better than being here in Shule and looking at other people's faces everywhere!
But now, what's the use of thinking about this? The opportunity has been missed, and Anxi is no longer the original Anxi! We can only take one step at a time and survive this ordeal safely!
"Your Governor Wang is really capable!" After hearing Wang Shisan's lively words, several low-level officials who accompanied Cen Shen to greet Wang Xun quietly came forward and raised their thumbs.
Shule, every time I hear that Dawan has won another battle, the brothers will go outside to have a drink. Although I don’t have the opportunity to earn that share of fame, thinking about it, I feel that it is quite enjoyable!"
"It was Commander Feng who taught him well!" Wan Qi Yuxue took over the conversation and mentioned Feng Changqing's name again. "Back then, he was the one who forced Governor Wang into the Baimabao camp, and promoted Yu Wen against all objections.
Deputy Governor! The reason why we have dared to go through such troubles in Dawan in the past two years is because we believe that Commander Feng is standing behind us and will never let us fall into a desperate situation and ignore it!"
"Ah, yes, yes, that's it, yes, that's it!!" As if they were frightened by Wanqi Yuxi's tall body, several petty officials hid aside in panic, "Several adults
I’m busy, I’m going to see if the Guanyi area has been tidied up!”
"I'm going too!" "I'm going too!"
In an instant, everyone fled completely. Wanqi Yuxiao was so angry that he spat on the ground and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell! Could it be that Commander Feng is in trouble, so he can't mention it?"
His name?! Every tree and plant in Shule City has nothing to do with Feng Shuai. Even if you don’t mention it in the court, the people will remember it in their hearts! Besides, Feng Shuai is just seizing the position, not assigning him.
Lingnan will never be used again?! Maybe one day this old man will be able to find peace and return to Anxi again. By then, let’s see where the faces of these guys go!”
"Hey, what do these low-level officials know?! General Wanqi, don't be as knowledgeable as them!" Cen Shen clasped his fists and apologized to Wanqi Yuxie on behalf of his subordinates, "They are just afraid of causing trouble for themselves. In fact, in
Everyone here knows that Marshal Feng was wronged. It’s just that he speaks softly and has no ability to defend Marshal Feng!”
"Hmph!" Wan Qiyu Xie curled his lips, still angry. "There is definitely a difference between not being able to do something and not having the heart to do it. There are two different things between humiliating and adapting to the situation! I don't believe it. The whole Anxi
, I can’t find anyone who can cry out for Marshal Feng!”
"Ashamed, ashamed!" Cen Shen couldn't release his fists together, nor could he continue to raise them. His face was so embarrassed. For the sake of his former colleagues, Wang Shisan took the initiative to help him, "Don't pay attention to this idiot.
Big guy! He has such a bad temper. Everyone in the entire Dawan Governor's Mansion knows it. That is to say, my Governor is generous. For the sake of his loyalty, he is unwilling to deal with him. If it had been anyone else, he would have been taken away.
After losing his official position, he was beaten out of the military camp with sticks!"
"I'm just telling the truth! As long as you do it with your heart, even if there are treacherous ministers in the court, you can definitely bring Commander Feng's grievances to heaven. Otherwise, what is the use of the Dengwen drum in front of the palace?" (Note 2
)
"You're not in Shule, how do you know the difficulties here?! Don't talk any more, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Wang Shisan blew his beard and glared, and began to use official coercion to suppress Wan Qiyu.
Xie turned around to comfort Cen Shen, "Don't argue with him! He likes to mess around the most!"
"General Wanqi is a quick talker. How could Cen really care about him!" Cen Shen was so uncomfortable that he wished he could die of illness immediately to avoid being insulted.
Fortunately, the city of Shule is not big, so while we were talking, the Jiedushi Yamen arrived. Someone had already opened the main gate and played drums. Red felt was spread from the door to the street. The left-behind officials were divided into two rows, according to their rank.
In order, stand by the red carpet to greet the interviewing envoy upon his arrival.
Although Wang Xun was young and successful, he did not dare to overdo it. He quickly walked a few steps and bowed his hands to everyone first. The officials quickly ducked sideways, saying that they did not dare, and then returned the gesture with long bows. The whole scene was completed with a commotion.
After that, his legs entered the government office. Zhang Su, the farming envoy, took the initiative to step forward and introduced his colleagues to Wang Xun one by one.
"This is General Xuanwei Feng Zhi, who used to follow General Ge Shuhan back then. He was transferred from Hexi to serve as the governor of Duzhou half a year ago. Hearing about the interview, he came here and rushed back from his post! General Feng
, this is the powerful General Wang in the Western Regions, the Hammer King!" (Note 3)
"I've seen the interviewer!" An official with a sallow face and wearing the uniform of a fourth-grade general came forward and bowed to Wang Xun.
"I have met General Feng! Wang has also heard of the general's name a long time ago!" Although Wang Xun's official position and title were much higher than that of the other party, he still sidestepped and avoided him, and then returned the favor with equal courtesy.
"This is the loyal general Wu Xian. He used to be the arm of Mr. Cheng of the Beiting Governor's Mansion. He was also transferred here half a year ago. General Wu, don't you always hate not having the opportunity to meet the interviewer? Haha, you are satisfied this time.
!"
"I've seen the interviewer!" The second person who was pointed out by Zhang Su, the field envoy, was a man with a beard. He spoke with a strong voice, and he sounded like a veteran who had been on the battlefield.
"This is Su Shou, the envoy of Shule Town, my deputy. He is good at farming, and wherever he goes, the people benefit from him. When I was ordered to be transferred to Anxi, I brought him here. Mr. Su
,This is..."
…
"Come on, come on, this is..."
…
After a round of introductions, Wang Xun’s head was as big as a bucket. They were all unfamiliar faces. Li Yuanqin, Duan Xiushi, Zhou Xiaofeng and others he was familiar with were not there. Even Li Siye, Tian Zhen, Bai Xiaode, etc. who had little contact with him, were also there.
They were all gone. This made him feel very awkward, as if he was in a completely unfamiliar place, not the Anxi Army he was familiar with. For a moment, he subconsciously tightened his arms, as if he could unsheath his sword at any time.
The civil and military officials were also very uncomfortable. Regardless of their qualifications or age, they were far superior to the rising star in front of them. But this person had climbed to the top of everyone, and everyone couldn't help but respect him! What if this person really had a terrible background?
No matter what, because of the reputation of his backstage, everyone also looked at him with a high regard. However, this person's backstage has collapsed long ago, and it is impossible to provide him with any strong support! You have made friends with him today, maybe tomorrow
, he was dismissed from his position. Not only could he not get any benefits, but he had to suffer a lot for nothing! Why bother, why bother!
Note 1: There are strict grade restrictions on the color of official robes in the Tang Dynasty. Purple robes of the third rank and above wear gold fish bags; scarlet robes of the fifth rank and above wear silver fish bags; green robes below the sixth rank, without fish bags.
Note 2: The Dengwen Drum is a large drum specially used to report imperial complaints to the people. It has been established since the Zhou Dynasty. When the drum is sounded, the emperor must personally intervene, and no one is allowed to conceal the report. The Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasty all followed this method
In the Qing Dynasty, it was believed that the common people were not allowed to offend their superiors, and anyone who complained to the emperor would be beaten with thirty sticks first. The system of hearing drums was abolished!
Note 3: Yandu Prefecture is about thirty miles south of Shule. In wartime, it and Shule can be at the horns of each other.
