Anxi temporarily regained peace. In the following days, Li Siye was busy asking for compensation from the Anxi Protectorate for losses. When facing Fumeng Lingcha, how should he usually be and how he should be now? After all, we have a strong character.
He is definitely not as irritable as a child who has discovered the true face of the devil.
Fumeng Lingcha was very fond of both the Tiaodang Camp and the Luntai Camp of Ma Phosphorus, probably because of the guilt in his heart. The families of the soldiers who died in the two battalions would receive a small amount of financial subsidies, and the vacancies left in the camps after the war would be paid.
Troops were directly transferred from other places in Anxi, and the lost horses and damaged weapons and armor were replenished from the Cangcao armor storehouse and horse farm.
Regarding the vacancies of the two captains who died in Tiaodang camp, Fumeng Lingcha also directly let Li Siye make his own decision. He let both Tian Zhen and Fujimu join the Zhanfeng Corps and serve as captains of the two regiments of the Zhanfang Corps. He also appointed
Duan Xiushi served as the captain of the second regiment of Tiaodang Camp.
An interesting thing happened before that. When the front troops were retreating over the mountains in Bolechuan, a dozen or so people from the first regiment accidentally dropped their swords into a deep valley. They came back to inquire about the matter.
, Fumeng Lingcha directly suggested that Li Siye remove the captain from his post on the spot.
This may be suspected of being deliberately excluded in order to install one's own people, but dismissing a school captain because he lost more than a dozen Mo Dao is a bit too much punishment.
The Mo Dao is indeed very expensive, second only to the Ma Shan among all the weapons of the Tang Army. However, the Ma Shan is a treasure inherited from a military aristocratic family and shown off, while the Mo Dao is the pinnacle of the Tang Army's standard cold weapons.
The twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan will soon become a thing of the past. In this not too cold winter, Li Siye was waiting peacefully, waiting for time to pass, and waiting for new opportunities to come.
He spent the New Year's Day at home. For this day, Li Siye specially made dumplings at home. However, these dumplings were not called dumplings in the Tang Dynasty, but were called Yanyue Wontons, also called Jiaozi. Rolled into dough
To make pancakes, chop the mutton into minced meat, add wild onions, salt and pepper. Unfortunately, there is only garlic but no vinegar in the Anxi market, so it is not necessary to go to Bingzhou, Hedong Province to buy vinegar before eating dumplings.
But he still found a substitute. Sanle pulp also has a sour taste after being left for a long time, but this acid is completely different from the acid of vinegar.
At noon, the big pot at home was boiling water. Madam Wu took the dustpan at home and lowered the dumplings into the pot. They rolled them up and down in the steaming heat. After they were cooked, they were fished out into several large bowls with a strainer.
, first go and burn incense as tribute to the ancestors and gods, and then it is their turn to eat.
The thin-skinned and generously stuffed mutton dumplings dipped in the sour Sanlejing wine give it a unique flavor.
People's laughter came from the yard: "I seem to smell the fragrance!"
Li Siye opened the door and walked out, and saw Gao Xianzhi standing in the middle of the yard, smiling and cupping his hands at him: "On the day of Yuan Zheng, I came to your house specially."
He secretly murmured that he really knew how to choose the right time when he came to visit, but he was just here to get some free time.
He smiled and crossed his hands towards Gao Xianzhi: "You came just in time. It's a blessing. Come and try it."
Li Siye smiled and invited Gao Xianzhi into the room, and placed a large bowl of dumplings and a stack of Sanlejiang in front of him: "Come on, General Gao, dip the dumplings in wine, and the more you eat, the better."
Gao Xianzhi took a tentative taste at first, then his eyes widened, startling Li Siye, thinking that it was stuck in his throat, and was about to kick him on the back.
"Okay, delicious! I've long heard that you, Li Siye, are a gourmet. After tasting it today, it's true that you live up to your reputation."
At this time, Gao Xianzhi completely lost his elegant persona and ate with a big bowl in his hands until he loosened his belt and raised his hand to wipe the grease from his mouth.
"Ha, hoo, Siye, I'm going to visit Fumeng Duhu and Tanaka Cheng later. Now I'm here specifically to call you. I'm going to pack more of the gifts you made. Let's go there with the food boxes.
The two bosses give it a try."
Mei'er sat aside and secretly glared at this ignorant guy. She didn't expect that not only did you eat and drink for nothing, but you also wanted to walk around after eating. My wife's hands are sore from making these dumplings.
After a while, Twelve Niang and Aunt Wu placed two large bowls of dumplings in the food box, put them in place with wooden lids, handed them to Li Siye with their own hands, and personally sent him and Gao Xianzhi out the door.
…
Except for Li Siye, everyone in Qixi, thousands of miles away from Chang'an, believed that this year would be the 30th year of Kaiyuan. The official documents signed by the Duhufu at the beginning of the new year were all used for the 30th year of Kaiyuan.
But on the eighth day of the first lunar month in Chang'an, Tian Tongxiu, a soldier in the Chen Palace, wrote a letter claiming to have seen Emperor Xuanyuan in the sky on Danfengmen Street, and personally told him, "I have a talisman hidden in Yin Xi's former residence."
At this time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was extremely obsessed with Taoism. Naturally, he believed in this statement and immediately sent someone to get it. Sure enough, five thousand-character bamboo slips of morality were unearthed in Yin Xi's former residence in Hangu Pass.
Sutra. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was overjoyed and believed that this was a spiritual treasure given to the Tang Dynasty by God, so he enshrined the spiritual treasure in the Temple of Emperor Xuanyuan of Taishang. He renamed Taolin County in Hanguguan, where the bamboo slips were found, to Lingbao County, and changed the era name to Tianbao.
Take the meaning of the spiritual treasure descended from heaven.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued the first decree in the first month of the first year of Tianbao. Special messengers set out from Dutingyi in the capital to deliver messages to all parts of the country, announcing the new reign name of Tianbao, and at the same time summoning the Nine Festival Envoys and their meritorious generals to come to the capital.
He recounted his merits and ordered all the border areas to inform the envoys of various countries that a large court meeting would be held in the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace on March 3rd, the Shangsi Festival.
Choosing to hold the court meeting in March has fully considered the situation that the border roads are far away and cannot be reached in time. For example, Anxi and Qiuci are more than 7,000 miles away from Chang'an, and Lingnan is also more than 8,000 miles away from Chang'an.
The planning time required for permanent envoys from other countries and tribute envoys from various countries does take such a long time.
By the time the imperial court's messenger arrived in Anxi, it was already the end of the first lunar month. After Tian Renwan received the letter, he immediately sent people to inform all the tribes of the Ten Turkic surnames and the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, as well as the white-clothed food on the verge of changing dynasties.
Tian Renwan did not want to go to this meeting of the imperial court. The military expedition against Xiaobolu failed. The Anxi Protectorate could not produce any military exploits this year to ask the emperor for credit. Although it was said that the sand bandits on the Khotan Road were wiped out,
However, if the Four Anxi Towns put the matter of exterminating bandits in the court, it would only make the Jiedushi of other towns laugh.
Building inns to suppress bandits and maintaining the Silk Road are of course important, but after all, this kind of thing is not as big a deal as attacking cities and capturing territory. What's more important is that this thing is not his credit, although it is also his.
It was accomplished under the leadership of the leadership, but if it would make it difficult for her husband Meng Lingzhao, he would rather suffer a loss of 800 yuan.
It's a pity that even if he loses 800 yuan, it won't work. Except for the post station in Anxi, he has not made any achievements, and Tian Renwan really doesn't have the face to talk about it.
In fact, there is no need for Tanaka Cheng to belittle himself. On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month in the 29th year of the lunar calendar, a major event occurred in Hexi. The Tibetans captured Dahua County in Kuozhou and took advantage of the Tang army's unpreparedness to attack Shicheng. This city was originally easy to defend but difficult to attack.
It only takes a few hundred people to defend the city, but tens of thousands of troops will be defeated. Unfortunately, Gai Jiayun, the governor of Longyou in Hexi Province, was too proud and conceited in his tenure. He only drank and listened to "Ganzhou Daqu" all day long, waiting for the Tubo people to attack.
At that time, the stone castle was not prepared for defense and was thrown to the Tibetans in vain.
A few years later, in order to regain the stone castle, the emperor deposed Wang Zhongsi and forced Ge Shuhan to attack the city, leaving 10,000 corpses of Tang soldiers at the top of the city. Of course, this is all a story later.
When the news came back to Chang'an, it was the time of the Yuan Dynasty. Li Longji was so angry that he couldn't even celebrate the festival. Thinking of Gai Jiayun's past achievements, he dismissed him and moved Huangfu Weiming to be the governor of Longyou.
He was appointed as the military governor of Hexi Province.
Although the four towns of Anxi are very close to Hexi, Hexi has no obligation to send messages to them. Therefore, it was only when Tian Renwan led the generals to Beijing to express their achievements that he learned that such a big thing had happened in Hexi.
Tian Renwan relayed the news to Fumeng Lingcha to see his reaction.
Fumeng Duhu sighed on his horse: "After the Tuqi Shi Hei was pacified, the saint held a celebration banquet for him at the Huacalyx Tower and appointed him as the Jiedushi of Longyou Two Towns in Hexi Province. What a favor it was!
But Gai Jiayun was arrogant at that time, setting up banquets, singing and dancing at home every day, and his subordinates also tried to admonish him, but unfortunately he didn't listen, which led to his defeat today."
Tian Renwan laughed and stopped talking. Li Siye heard clearly from behind the two of them and did not try to expose Fumeng Lingcha's lies. He just listened to it and took it for fun, so there was no need to be serious.
