Chapter 290 Contradictions and differences between superiors
Also doing nothing was Fumeng Lingcha, who pinned all his hopes on attacking Tuqi Shi. But when the news came from the court, the emperor ordered Gai Jiayun to appease Tuqi Shi Huang, and followed him
He has nothing to do with it!
Fumeng Lingcha had a keen mind and vaguely guessed that Tian Renwan had a disagreement with him, so he put him to bed. Although this incident only filled Fumeng Lingcha's heart, it made him and Tian Renwan seem to be in harmony.
There was a rift in the relationship.
Conflicts arise between the first-in-command and the second-in-command, and keen-minded subordinates can quickly detect it, and some people have already begun to take sides. The either-or choice has caused factional fighting within Anxi, which is almost inevitable.
Li Siye is still on the fringes of the core of power in Anxi, and naturally cannot feel the subtle changes caused by the differences between his two superiors.
At that time, the conflict between Fumeng Lingcha and Tian Renwan had not yet emerged, but the subsequent differences in the strategic focus of the Anxi Protectorate were enough to cause the two to fall out of harmony.
In fact, the source of the disagreement was precisely the three things they understood at the residence of the Right Prime Minister Li Linfu, namely, the sudden cavalry to deal with the aftermath, the improvement of trade routes, the control of desert bandits, and the expedition to Xiaobolu Kingdom.
Tu Qishi's aftermath had already missed him, and Fumeng Lingzha could not miss the remaining two major events. However, he advocated building a post station and controlling sand bandits. This was a small achievement but there would be no mistakes. As long as he
All the bandits in the Anxi Protectorate rushed to the Hexi Corridor, and several more post stations and commercial inns were installed along the Silk Road. When they come to Beijing next year to express their achievements, this political achievement is worth mentioning.
However, the matter was stopped by Jiedushi Tian Renwan. Tian Zhongcheng believed that whether it was anti-theft or building a post station, it cost money, but it was not worth spending a lot of money on such trivial matters. The money of the Anxi Protectorate
It should be spent wisely. Tian was keen on planning the expedition to Xiaobolu, and used the financial resources of the four Anxi towns this year to prepare food, grass and horses for the expedition. This was the difference between the two and the source of their conflict.
Fumeng Lingzha had a bad temper, and Jiedushi Tian Renwan was not an economical person. The two sides had disagreements more than once during discussions. Of course, they were just differences and had not escalated into conflicts.
"Hey, my Tanaka Cheng, do you think Xiao Bolu is so easy to fight? Tubo stationed 100,000 troops in Sole City, and built Lianyun Fort in a dangerous place on the south bank of Bolechuan River. The two front and rear are dangerous and difficult to defend.
Attack! The terrain of Congling Ridge is high, and the long journey consumes physical strength! It is difficult to breathe! We also have to cross the vast snow-capped mountains, and the June glaciers on Tanju Ridge are endless! If you make one mistake, you will lose everything!"
"What do you mean? Do you mean not to fight? To let the little Bolu Kingdom fall into the hands of the Tubo people? To block the tribute route of more than twenty countries northwest of Congling?"
"I didn't say we won't fight! The terrain of Xiaobolu is good for Tubo but not good for our Tang army. It requires long-term planning and preparation! A hasty attack within one or two years will only return in vain and sacrifice the lives of many soldiers!"
"
"Haha," Tian Renwan sneered: "Guardian Fumeng, you deliberately exaggerated the risks of the expedition. Have you ever gone to the field to investigate in person? Let me tell you! Last summer, I specially brought a few followers with me along the way.
Qingling entered Congling, crossed the Bomit River in person and looked at the terrain of Lianyun Castle in the distance! It is not as difficult and dangerous as you said! What is the purpose of you repeatedly blocking it!"
"Tan Zhongcheng, going out with a large army is different from traveling alone! You need to consider many factors such as people's hearts, climate, materials, etc. I started in the Anxi army and personally led an army on an expedition. Naturally, I know the difficulties of leading an army. It is not what you imagine.
Simple!"
Tian Zhongcheng smelled a trace of contempt for laymen in it. How could he not be angry? He puffed out his nostrils and retorted: "Do you think I have never been in the army? Before I became the governor of Yizhou, I served as a marching Sima under the command of the Jiedushi envoy of Hedong!
Although I have never personally gone into battle to kill the enemy, I am proficient in arranging troops! It makes your husband, General Meng, underestimate me!"
"I'm not looking down on you, I'm just discussing the matter..."
"Fumeng Duhu, don't think that I can't see your little thoughts, and I won't point them out. You can do it yourself! See off the guests!"
"You! Humph!" Fumeng Lingcha shook the sleeves of his purple robe heavily, turned around and walked out of Jiedushi Xingyuan's residence.
He put his hands behind his back. After walking out of the courtyard, he turned back and glanced into the hall. He cursed angrily: "A scholar ruins the country and talks on paper! Poor man! I'm sorry for you! You forgot that you came from Chang'an."
You looked so shabby before you came to Anxi and took office! There are no soldiers or honor guards around you, but I still paid for you to make a show of yourself! Now you are so powerful that you are falling out!"
Fumeng Lingcha cursed angrily for a while, then got on his horse and was led by his own soldiers to the Governor's Mansion.
He was thinking about countermeasures immediately. It seems that this kind of disagreement with his direct superior should be solved by a higher leader. However, he is only the deputy governor of Anxi and does not have the power to directly report matters to Heaven.
It stands to reason that since Li Linfu takes over the position of Protector-General from afar, he is the highest authority in the Anxi Protectorate. But since he is thousands of miles away and is well versed in the rules of officialdom, he will probably not help him in the conflict between him and Tian Renwan.
.
Alas, I didn’t expect that Tian Renwan may look kind-hearted, but he is actually a tough guy.
…
In Jiedushi's residence, Tian Renwan was so angry that he ran his hand down his chest, then put the tea on the table and raised his hand to drink. Unexpectedly, he hissed as soon as he took the tea and spit it out with a pop, making his tongue roll back and forth in his mouth.
He placed the tea cup heavily on the table and snorted: "A common man! He has no shortcomings! At first I thought he looked honest, so I confided in him. I didn't expect this person to be honest on the outside, but so cunning on the inside!"
As for Fu Meng's inner desire, he knew it clearly. This person's intention to climb to the top of Jiedushi was not just for a day or two. It is not wrong to have such an idea. As long as I, Tian Renwan, ascend to the top, my position will be better.
Naturally, I have freed up space for you. Even the military exploits of the expedition to Xiaobolu can be shared with you.
However, their starting point was not the same. Fumeng Lingcha was seeking stability and wanted to use the money from the Protectorate to expand the post road and control sand bandits. However, the Silk Road was not limited to Anxi. It required cooperation with the Hexi Jiedu Envoy
Jointly negotiate construction and management. Originally, a town in Hexi had focused its energy on curbing Tibet and Turks, and had no time to take care of trade routes and sand bandits. What's more, with the mentality of Gai Jiayun, the governor of Hexi Province, they simply can't see it.
Such a small achievement. Therefore, Fumeng Lingcha’s so-called construction of post stations and control of desert bandits is just a section in Anxi. At most, all the bandits in Anxi will be driven to Hexi. How will it help the safety and smooth flow of the Silk Road?
?It’s totally a face-saving project.
The expedition against Xiaobolu was urgent, and no one could resist it. With this in mind, Tian Renwan turned around and came to the Quzu case, picked up the ink tube from the pen holder, and decided to write a memorial to the saint, and asked the emperor to issue a memorial to the expedition against Xiaobolu.
According to the will of the emperor, this way the teacher will become famous.
The memorial was sent out the next day and was quickly sent to Chang'an along the post station.
The differences and contradictions between Jiedushi Tian Renwan and deputy governor Meng Lingcha had spread among the middle-level generals in Anxi. Li Siye also found out about it a little later. He knew about it, but he didn't think he could participate.
Come in.
He didn't want to get involved in this kind of disagreement, so as not to stand on the wrong team or choose the wrong stocks in the future, he should just practice his troops by the Baima River honestly.
(ps: Alas, I finally ordered more than 200 yuan. At the same time, I would like to thank Yuwang Hongbin and Piaohong for the reward.)
