250 dismounted
When Lu Xiu saw it, he couldn't help but ask: "Zhang Yushi, what did Mixin say, is it bad news?" ”
"No, it's the news that the imperial court has allowed troops to be sent."
"It's great, I can finally clean up this group of unstoppable turtle grandchildren, this is good news, how can I say it's bad news?"
Zhang Xiaosong smiled bitterly and handed the instruction he had just received in his hand to Lu Xiu.
Lu Xiu took it and took a look, it was similar to what he guessed, the imperial court wanted to give heavy medicine to the Western Regions, and the method was to let each other consume each other, especially to consume the sharp energy of the joint name of Dashi and Tubo first, and then sit on the Diaoyutai to obtain the greatest results at the lowest cost, and Zhang Xiaosong was given a lot of arbitrary power in the secret order, but the last item was a little strange, adding a position of deputy supervisor, and sending a person named Zheng Peng from the capital to take it.
"Deputy Overseer? There is no precedent for this, Zhongshan (Zhang Xiaosong's character), what does Your Majesty mean by this, giving you the right to arbitrary, but sending a deputy supervisor, it is really incomprehensible. Lu Xiu said with some confusion.
Thinking that Zhang Xiaosong was unhappy, Lu Xiu was strange on the surface, but in fact he was appeased, and emphasized that Zhang Xiaosong had the right to be arbitrary.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Xiaosong, who has arbitrary power, can be regarded as the king of the Western Regions.
Zhang Xiaosong smiled indifferently: "Your Majesty's thoughts, how can we courtiers easily guess it, but this Zheng Peng, I know a little." ”
"The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember it for a while." Lu Xiu frowned and thought bitterly.
"I still remember that Sulu Khan suffered a loss in Chang'an, but he fell into the hands of this Zheng Peng, and the horse that chased the wind for a hundred miles was wasted, but I didn't expect that Zheng Peng, a small music official, still had the ability to find a position as a deputy supervisor."
Lu Xiu frowned and said: "I remember, Zheng Peng is a small music official in Zuojiaofang, wrote a song, was appreciated by His Majesty, and changed from a music official to a reception deputy envoy, which is already a bit overstepping, and I don't know what method he used, from an inexperienced actor to a deputy supervisor, it's really ......."
I wanted to say that it was ridiculous, but when I thought that this was the emperor's decree, I swallowed it back when the words came to my mouth.
No matter when, the emperor is right, that is, he thinks about it, but he can't say it casually, otherwise it will really be a disaster from his mouth.
Earlier, Li Longji had found a reception deputy envoy for him, and now he had made an exception to set up a deputy supervising army for him?
finally understood why Zhang Xiaosong had a bitter face, sighed bitterly, and at this moment, Lu Xiu also had a sad face.
It's too child's play to let a music officer from the Left Sect come to be a prisoner.
is not only child's play, but also does not care about the lives of the soldiers.
One general is incompetent, and it affects the three armies, especially on the battlefield, and it is definitely not a good thing to suddenly have one more person who does not have the slightest military literacy to point fingers.
Although it is only the deputy supervisor, the secret order also points out that the task of the deputy supervisor is only to observe and learn, not to command, but Lu Xiu is still a little displeased: the officials who came out of Chang'an, especially the emperor's favored ministers, many of them are higher-ranking officials, if he threatens the soldiers with a complaint, what will happen then?
Besides, it is this Zheng Peng who does not command and cooperates with the work, but it is also very unpleasant to stuff one person to share the military merits.
In addition, there is a very serious problem: the Western Regions have always been very stable, there is a history of the supervising army, there are inspectors, and now an additional deputy supervising army is sent to come, is it dissatisfied with the status quo of the Western Regions, or is it distrustful of the generals of the Western Regions?
Zhang Xiaosong said with a wry smile: "Not only did he set up a deputy supervisor, but he was also allowed to bring a private guard, and in addition, a team was assigned to protect his safety, and His Majesty took great care of this Deputy Supervisor Zhang." ”
As the imperial history of the entire Western Regions, holding arbitrary power, Zhang Xiaosong only has a battalion of guards, which shows Li Longji's love for this music official.
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaosong said with some resentment: "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he was conscientious, the country was rich and the people were strong, and the four seas were peaceful, and he was a rare Ming Jun, but sometimes he would mislead the villain, like making the teaching workshop independent, expanding the scale of the teaching workshop again and again, the inner teaching workshop, the left and right teaching workshops, the pear orchard and the Yichun Courtyard, the number of people added up to more than 10,000 people, I don't know how much the treasury is empty in a year, and now I am instigating Your Majesty to let a music official go to the Western Regions to supervise the army, I simply don't know what to say, if a certain is in Chang'an, he must be ruthlessly involved in him." ”
Thinking that the emperor was misled by the villain, and the joke joked about national affairs and the lives of soldiers, Zhang Xiaosong had a nameless fire in his heart.
The emperor is wise, there is no mistake, even if he is rich, he is also a villain.
Lu Xiu felt the same way: "This Zheng Peng, who has written a few good poems, should be a scholar who knows books and etiquette, how can he do such a thing?" ”
Zheng Peng is a music official, or a music official who is liked by the emperor, he will definitely not let him leave if he has nothing to do, needless to say, it must be Zheng Peng who does not know what means to confuse His Majesty.
"Bullshit reader" Zhang Xiaosong said with a look of disdain: "Just a little showman, no fame and no background, dare to call himself a scholar just by relying on a few poems on the sidelines?" He doesn't deserve it yet. ”
There are many people who can make poems, but there are really few people who can be called readers, or who know books and etiquette.
The two were discussing when suddenly a subordinate shouted outside the door: "Report! ”
Lu Xiu glanced at Zhang Xiaosong, and then said loudly: "Accurate!" ”
The gate was pushed open, and a herald came in and saluted, and said loudly: "General, there is a man named Zheng Peng outside the door, saying that he is the newly arrived deputy supervisor, and he wants to see Zhang Yushi and the general." ”
Zheng Peng?
Lu Xiu and Zhang Xiaosong glanced at each other, and they were a little surprised in each other's eyes, and there was a hint of unhappiness in their surprise.
I was just discussing Zheng Peng, but I didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask to see him so soon, as soon as he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
"Zhang Yushi, what do you mean?"
"Hehe, this is the Anxi Protector's Mansion, and the Lu Du Protector is the host's house, and a certain guest is a guest, so naturally the guest is the host." Zhang Xiaosong said with a smile.
Lu Xiu knew this, turned to the herald and said, "Let him stay in the side room, just say that he is not available, let him wait first." ”
If Zhang Xiaosong wants to see it, he will definitely say it, and now he says that "the guest is as the host" is clearly to give the new deputy supervisor a dismissal.
Will be outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it, the mountain is high here, the emperor is far away, don't think that it is great to hold a paper order, just give him a beating, let him know who is the boss of the Western Regions.
Lu Xiu and Zhang Xiaosong have a very good relationship, and the two can be said to appreciate each other, and they reach a tacit understanding without saying it explicitly: give the newcomer Zheng Peng a dismount, lest he be arrogant and arrogant.
"Yes, General!" The herald answered, and quickly withdrew.
After the herald left, Zhang Xiaosong showed an appreciative look at Lu Xiu, and then smiled: "Escort Lu Du, come, let's continue to discuss the important matter of the military aircraft of Khanna." ”
"Okay, good, counsel, counsel."
The two said that they were discussing, but in fact, they each raised their wine glasses, touched them lightly in the air, and drank them deliciously.
