As for what Wang Xun saw back then, no one had the time to ask. Cen Shen was right, tonight's story involves a lot, so it's best if everyone doesn't know the details. The less you know, the safer it is.
"Yang Guozhong also wanted to get rid of Wang Mingyun at first!" Very considerate of everyone's mood, Cen Shen vaguely passed the private parts that Wang Xun saw. "But later, for some unknown reason, he gave up on his own initiative. But Bian Shen
Ling Cheng, the border supervisor, may not have received Gao Qiaoqi's order to stop, and he continued to embarrass Wang Mingyun. It must have been because the distance was too far, so the order didn't come through! Anyway, after going back and forth, the two sides became successful.
The faster Wang Mingyun was promoted, the more the border supervisors could not tolerate him. However, the Yang Guozhong brother and sister had exclusive power, and they clashed with the Hussar General. However, the two brothers Yuwen Zida and Song Wu also
They are all direct descendants of Yang Guozhong!"
Therefore, Wang Mingyun is even more considered a thorn in the side of the inner court. Both parties have old enemies, and they must be wary of him colluding with Yang Guozhong and "collaborating with each other". No wonder Bian Lingcheng is in Tongguan, thousands of miles apart.
However, he spared no effort to send someone to come here and instruct Zhang Su to take all possible means to solve the "hidden danger" of instability in Anxi Town. No wonder the imperial court spent a lot of money to set up a post station. In recent days, what it conveyed to Anxi was not military information from Tongguan, but
A series of private orders with increasingly urgent wording, but the key points were vague, did not contain any seal of the relevant yamen.
Due to emotions and reasons, from beginning to end, the fault of the whole thing was not on Wang Xun's side. What they said was a confusing account, hehe, in fact, this account is very clear. The eunuchs headed by Gao Lishi didn't care about sacrifice at all.
It was impossible for Wang Xun to stretch his neck and wait to be slaughtered for the lives of others. After the attempt to silence Wang Xun failed, the eunuchs were afraid that Wang Xun would gain power in the future and come to settle accounts with them. Therefore, they were even more eager to kill him.
Everyone asked themselves that they were incapable of upholding justice for Wang Xun, but they were increasingly unwilling to be accomplices to the eunuchs. These physically handicapped guys couldn't handle it with common sense. You helped them deal with Wang Xun today, who dares?
Guarantee that you will not be the next target to be killed and silenced?!
"My subordinates think that this matter needs to be considered in the long term!" Su Shou, the guardian of Shule Town, is a direct descendant of Zhang Su who was promoted by the farming envoy Zhang Su. Of course, he puts the interests of the other party first when making decisions. Look at the faces of everyone,
He quickly stepped forward and suggested, "According to Cen Canjun, Wang Mingyun must die. Not only because of the previous grudges, but also based on his relationship with Feng Changqing, the Border Supervisory Army would never dare to let him go alive."
Go to Chang'an! So, it doesn't make any difference whether we take action or not. Anyway, the Border Supervisory Army can mobilize more manpower along the way than ours!"
His words immediately received a warm response. "Yes, why should we be such evil people? It's best to just sit back and watch!"
"To the extreme, it's best for us not to help each other. Since Wang Mingyun can sweep across Yaosha Shui with 600 guards, he must not be killed so easily."
"Let someone else take the credit for this! I really can't afford to be so lucky!"
"Yes! People's hearts here in Anxi are already very unstable. If something happens to Wang Mingyun on our land, not only will the arrogant and powerful generals under his command be difficult to control, some of the veterans who have just been calmed down may also take advantage of the opportunity.
Making noise and causing chaos! Coupled with those Uighurs who have been watching in the dark, we will be plunged into catastrophe overnight!" Cen Shen, who joined the army, quietly squeezed his wet palms, raised his head, and put himself in Zhang Su's shoes to make plans.
Zhang Su, the envoy to the field, is also a smart man, otherwise he would not be so successful in the officialdom. After listening to everyone's advice, he knew in his heart that he should not take advantage of the eunuchs' fire for the eunuchs. Although the benefits promised by the other party were very difficult to refuse.
"If it weren't for Bian, the eunuch named Bian who sent people to urge you again and again, why would I bother you with the interview? With him here, at least the major tribes around him can calm down a little. If it weren't for him,
, I’m going to catch my duck, and I’ll be the brave general who charges into battle! Hey, you guys tell me, what should I do with this? I really don’t want to be this evil person, but I have to give in to Gao Qianqi and the border supervisors.
Let them all explain it together!"
"Just tell the truth and tell the old eunuch and the army that we are not strong enough. Wang Xun brought back more than 10,000 elites from Dawan, and there are hundreds of guards around him?!" Xuanwei General Feng Zhi showed
He responded loudly with the attitude of a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
"Yes. You know you can't beat him, so of course you can't do it. Otherwise, if you alert the enemy, it will delay the important affairs of Gao Qiaoqi and the border supervisors?!" Zhongwu General Wu Xian made up his mind to wear a leg with Feng Zhi today.
Pants, he gritted his teeth and added angrily.
This is a good way to get through. Anyway, when the eunuchs first sent people to deliver the order, they never expected that Wang Xun would be able to return eastward with tens of thousands of troops. As for the difference between a few hundred guards and two hundred guards, it was just a matter of words.
, who can finally check it seriously?
"That's what you guys think. I'll go all out in a few days and confront Bian Lingcheng!" Zhang Su, the camp envoy, patted the table and finally made the final decision. "However, we have to be more careful now.
.Don't be so kind as to let someone go, or you will be bitten by someone who doesn't know what's good for you. Especially since the interview envoy Wang has been in Shule City for the past two days, no matter what, you can't let him know the court's treatment of Feng Changqing!"
"Don't worry, sir!" Su Shou, the garrison envoy of Shule, cupped his hands and responded in a low voice, "Beizhi and Cen Canjun have already made arrangements. At the military camp, anyone who might come into contact with Di Bao has been sent to other places in advance.
Even if the remaining people have heard something, relying on a few rumors, Wang's interview makes it impossible for them to immediately raise a flag to rebel!"
"Based on what he said during the day, I believe that he is a loyal person!" Zhang Su, the field commander, sighed and shook his head and added, "But it is always better to be prepared. If Cen joins the army, others in the city may leak the news.
Have you given instructions on where to go?"
"Reply to your lord!" Cen Shen bowed solemnly and bowed respectfully, "I have already said hello in advance. Swordsmen have to make a living under the rule of your lord, so naturally they dare not talk nonsense. Other local scattered traders have no chance to contact them.
Di Bao, what can be said is a few rumors. There is no evidence and it is difficult to verify the authenticity. As for Cheng Ji, they are a time-honored brand in the capital and know how to protect themselves wisely. In Shule City, they were originally on good terms with Wang Mingyun.
Several of the clerks and shopkeepers were recalled by the main store two months ago. The new manager is a cautious person and will never dare to cause trouble to his boss!"
"Well! Thank you for your help!" Zhang Su, the field envoy, nodded, very satisfied with Cen Shen's answer. "Where is the post house, have you sent someone to keep an eye on it? And where is the interview envoy's residence, please don't
What an oversight! You, Wang Mingyun, and Yu Wenzhi are all acquaintances, so you must know what their tempers are like!"
"My subordinates have sent people to keep an eye on it. The entire interview has led to the lord's residence, from the cook to the gardener, having selected reliable people." Cen Shen bowed again, suppressing the humiliation in his heart in response.
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Su praised with a smile, "I have known for a long time that you are a careful person. That's why I entrust you with such important things. In a few days, the Song soldiers and horses will arrive, led by the army.
You come forward to receive them. Remember to ask them to leave as soon as possible. It is best not to even enter Shule City to avoid long nights and dreams!"
"I'll do my best!" Cen Shen bowed his head to the ground and took the opportunity to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"We need to make early arrangements for several cities along the way. As long as we send them out of Anxi, we don't need to consider anything else." Zhang Su, the military commander, waved his hand and finally targeted the others. "General Feng,
You are familiar with military affairs. You are responsible for arranging everything. Chief Wen, as soon as you get down, write a letter to the Border Supervision Army for me and truthfully report to him the difficulties we encounter. Ask him to adjust relevant arrangements in a timely manner!
More than 10,000 cavalrymen are always a problem!"
"promise!"
"Yes, don't worry, sir!" Xuanwei General Feng Zhi and Shule Town Guard Su Shou stepped forward one after another and bowed to accept the order.
"And..." Zhang Su, the field commander, yawned while continuing to add details. Until he was sure that everything was arranged without leakage, he waved his hand and ordered everyone to retreat and rest.
Cen Shen, who joined the army, followed everyone and slowly walked out of the main entrance of the meeting hall. Just as he crossed the threshold with one foot, he was suddenly stopped by Zhang Su, "Cen Canjun, please wait for a moment. I have one more thing.
ask you?!"
"Excuse me, sir!" Cen Shen's body froze suddenly, then slowly turned his head and said with a forced smile: "This subordinate should tell you everything you know, and tell me everything!"
"This, this..." Zhang Su, who had never known what blushing was, suddenly became a little nervous. After hesitating for a while, he said hesitantly: "I listen to what others say, listen to others."
He said that before Feng Changqing went to Luoyang, he once wrote a book about his experience in leading an army in the war. He asked someone to send it back to Shule and asked you to hand it over to Wang Mingyun. Is that so? Do you have that book? Is that book now there?
Do you have it?! If you have it, can you lend it to me for a look? I will look at it as soon as possible and return it to you after reading it!"
"What's the matter? Who did you listen to the rumors?!" Cen Shen smiled and shook his head. "Don't say that Marshal Feng didn't have time to write this book. Even if he did, he wouldn't give it to Cen or Wang Mingyun.
.In the Anxi Army at that time, there were many people who were regarded as the heirs of the title of Commander-in-Chief. The ones at the top were Zhou Xiaofeng and Li Yuanqin. Wang Mingyun was not ranked at all. As for his subordinates, they were only civil servants and were not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.
Handsome heir!"
"Oh?! Is that so?!" Zhang Su, the field envoy, was doubtful. To him, it didn't matter whether he could get Feng Changqing's brainchild. The key was not to let this book fall into the hands of others. "You still go to see Wang
Ming Yun? We have been friends for many years. If you have to go, just go, I will not doubt you because of this!"
"I'm afraid Wang Mingyun no longer bothers to be friends with Cen!" Cen Shen grinned and laughed at himself with a wry smile.
"Don't be as knowledgeable as this rough guy!" Thinking of Cen Shen's behavior during the day, Zhang Su also felt that Wang Xun would no longer think highly of such a villain, "Go down and rest early. There will be a lot of things tomorrow."
What's the matter? I really can't leave you for a moment!"
"My subordinates, please retire!" Cen Shen bowed down in emotion and saluted Zhang Su again. Then he took a few steps backward and slowly left the Jiedushi Yamen.
Wang Xun's temporary residence was on the same street as Jiedushi Yamen. They were not far from each other and could be reached in a few steps. But Cen Shen did not have the courage to walk over and face those familiar smiles. He even
He didn't even have the courage to take another look, so he jumped on his mount and fled away from the long street. He blended his figure into the long night, letting the spring cold of the Western Regions pass through his thin official robe, covering his whole body.
, blown into a lump of ice.
The only thing that still had some warmth left was his chest. There was a thin booklet sewn close to his inner clothes. It was a note that Feng Changqing had written in a hurry when he was ordered to build the Yellow River defense line in the face of danger.
.It records his combat experience in the Western Regions over the past few years, as well as the strength, customs and grievances between the various tribes under the Anxi Army. In addition, over the past two years, the Anxi Army has fought to expel the cannibals.
The preparations made, as well as many things that need to be paid attention to after the army leaves Congling westward.
Feng Changqing seems to have expected that he will not be able to return to Anxi in a short period of time. Therefore, he hopes to use this handbook to give some inspiration to his successor. He also seems to have expected that in times of crisis, the imperial court will dispatch elite troops from Anxi to come back regardless of the consequences.
.So in the handbook, detailed suggestions were also given on how to continue to manage the various regions if the Anxi army was evacuated in large numbers; how to curb the ambition of the Uighur people; how to exploit the greed of the Tubo people; and how to deal with various tribes.
Let them restrain each other so that they cannot pose a threat to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.
He even expected that some people would advocate abandoning Dayuan. Therefore, in his letters, he repeatedly told Wang Xun to find ways to reserve a foothold for the Tang Dynasty outside Congling. In case that after the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty ended, there would be no reason to return.
Get your hands dirty with the medicine.
In the eyes of the old general, Dashi and the Tang Dynasty are two heroes of the same age. The civil strife in the country of Dashi in the past two years is the best opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to manage the Western Regions. Once missed, it will be difficult to curb the other party's eastward expansion.
The area around Yaochashui will never be owned by Datang again.
He almost expected everything that happened now, but what he didn't expect was that because of a few slanderous words from the eunuchs, the court ordered his head to be removed. And after he was executed, he was not even allowed to collect the body.
