"Ladies and gentlemen, feast on the first glass of wine today, and salute the envoys. Congratulations to him on successfully completing the task of collecting grain and grass. The commendation order of the marshal has come down. Please! ”

"This second glass of wine, to Senator Jia! Due to the tense situation on the front line in Guazhou, the reception banquet has only started today. ”

"The third glass of wine, toast Jia Tanhua. Dunhuang has been an important town in Liangzhou since ancient times. A cultural pearl. Today, there is a poet of our dynasty, Jia Tanhua, who will be able to leave a commendable poem and chapter in Dunhuang City. Please! ”

Dunhuang City is not big, with a circumference of more than 20 miles. There were about 50,000 people in the city, most of whom were Han people. Hu'er is dominated by Tuyuhun, Yueshi, and Qiang people.

Such a population size is too small compared with cities such as Beijing, Jinling, Yangzhou, and Suzhou, which often have a population of one million. But compared with the county towns in the interior of the country, it is considered medium.

There are two main streets in the whole city, which are arranged in the shape of "Hui". Poplars are planted along the street. All kinds of shops, warehouses, inns, wine shops, green buildings, gambling halls, and post houses are arranged along the street.

The Shazhou Mansion is located on the west side of the street. Dunhuang County is in the east of the street. The temporary Western Regions Governor's Mansion requisitioned the government office.

At noon on 19 August, Cheng You, on behalf of the Governor's Palace, summoned nearly 400 civil and military officials in the city to hold a banquet in the Governor's Mansion to entertain Jia Huan.

A state capital, plus the 50,000 soldiers and civil and military officials left behind, is definitely not as much as 400. Most of the people gathered here were the administrative bureaucrats of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Western Regions. Most of them were civil officials who were withdrawn from Qiuzi, Yanqi, Gaochang, and Hami.

After Cheng You's toast, Jia Huan, who was sitting in the main seat, instantly became the focus of the audience!

The seventeen-year-old young man was officially recognized by the officialdom of the Western Regions at this time.

Han Boan, the political secretary of the Western Regions Zuobu, who was located at the main table, silently tasted the wine. He didn't like Jia Huan. However, the situation in the Western Regions collapsed, and Niu Jizong took full responsibility, and he was equally responsible. With the arrival of the Governor of Qi, his authority was reduced to a minimum. And Jia Huan is a talent that Qi Chi is going to come to.

At this time, a middle-aged official at the door of the hall raised his voice and said: "Jia Tanhua is well-known at home and abroad, how can there be no poetry at today's banquet?" ”

The officials in the hall echoed one after another. The atmosphere is lively.

Cheng You smiled slightly, happy to see it. With his fame as a showman, he swayed freely in front of so many officials, and his ability was also shown: Strategist! It is no wonder that when the staff of the Governor's Mansion made things difficult for Jia Huan, he was the first to come forward.

Pang Ze drank a glass of wine and looked at Jia Huan with a smile. Happy for your friends. This is the treatment that should be given after the grain is delivered. In the front-line war, it is needless to say how important military rations are. People who can do things will be welcomed everywhere they go. Didn't Cheng Gongda change his attitude?

Deeds, deeds, deeds. He's going to have to make a decision, too! Why bother to spend your life in the science field?

Jia Huan stood up, arched his hand to the surroundings, and said humbly: "Cheng Gongda praises." Lift your love. Again: "The ring entered Dunhuang on August 13. This is the westernmost point of the Hexi Corridor and the starting point of my westward expedition.

The current situation in the Western Regions is grave and worries me. So, who will save such a perilous situation? Can you stand up and dedicate and sacrifice for the country and the nation?

Occupy a song in the lower mouth and send it to the kings. Gift to the monarchs of the Western Regions: Every inch of rivers and mountains is an inch of gold, who is responsible for the cracking force of the Western Frontier? The cuckoo is worried about the tears of the sky again, and Jingwei is endlessly reclaiming the heart. ”

The familiar allusion to the cuckoo in the world is Li Yishan's sentence: Emperor Wang's spring heart trusts the cuckoo. However, there is another legend of the cuckoo crying blood: Emperor Wang's cuckoo entered the city, persuaded Emperor Cong to love the people, and died of blood.

This sentence is to express that he is willing to cry and plead for the country like a cuckoo, calling for the pillars of the country, and jointly contributing to the country.

The allusion of Jingwei reclamation does not need to be said. This is the word of will in the face of difficulties.

"Good!"

After Jia Huan finished reciting, the cheers in the hall rose. The poem, in all fairness, is not outstanding. However, Jia Huan's fame is here. At the same time, it is very suitable for the current atmosphere of Dunhuang and the Western Regions! Boost morale.

Every inch of rivers and mountains is golden!

How can the territory of the country tolerate the slaughter of others and make the picture of the country change color? Any son or daughter of the Han family who has flesh and bones will never agree! This humiliation cannot be tolerated!

Dunhuang and Guazhou, not to mention the Han and Tang Dynasties, have been the homeland of the Han family since the founding of the country. Now that Hu Qi has invaded the realm, how can we lose this land?

We grew up here, every inch of land is our own, no matter who wants to grab it, we will fight with him to the end!

The atmosphere in the hall in the second hall of the Governor's Mansion was distorted as the civil officials interpreted Jia Huan's poem. Get impassioned. From the reception banquet to the patriotic and side-plug banquet!

The entire territory of the Western Regions was lost, and under such a great change, who did not have an old friend, the same year, and a comrade who died under the knife of the Hu people? The boy is self-respecting, and he looks at each other with white blades and blood.

Cheng You looked at the current situation with some amazement. It was beyond his surprise.

Perhaps, this is the demeanor of a top debater! Incendiary and superb. Just give him the stage.

…

…

The noon banquet gradually dispersed at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Cheng Yu stayed in Jiahuan for a secret conversation in a private room in the governor's palace.

The Governor is a sole officer. He recruited his own staff, managed the officials in the yamen, and handled various daily affairs. The governor of Qi was in Guazhou, and the provisional governor's palace in Dunhuang was in charge of Cheng You.

Calligraphy and painting, sunshine, and tea.

Cheng You is a middle-aged man in his thirties, thin and thin, wearing a long shirt in the color of the gift, and praised: "Brother Jia is talented." "The attitude is no longer cold.

Jia Huan smiled calmly and said, "Brother Cheng is too polite. ”

Cheng You nodded with a smile and said, "Guazhou has already started fighting with Hu Qi." As a quartermaster, Ziyu's affairs will become more and more busy, and you will also have to worry about the public opinion in the rear. You can come to the Governor's Mansion to take care of your business. I've ordered a few rooms to be cleared. ”

It is wartime, and the entire administrative system is in a state of abnormal operation. The Governor's Mansion is the core yamen and commands the overall situation.

Jia Huan agreed, accepted Cheng You's kindness, and said, "It's okay." He asked again: "I have something unclear and want to ask Brother Cheng." ”

"Oh? You said. ”

"Dashuai is the governor of the Western Regions appointed by the imperial court, and the army is in charge. Justifiably. How does Vice General Miao have a conflict with Dashuai? He dares to disobey military orders? Jia Huan had heard Master Wang say this, and now he wanted to hear the opinion of Governor Qi's staff.

Cheng You was slightly stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Jia Huan deeply. Jia Huan asked about the core point of the entire rear situation.

Cheng You pondered for a while, organized the language, and said, "Brother Jia, the Tao is not the same. Of course, Miao Qi didn't dare to disobey the commander's order. But another group of generals supported him, which made his opinion very heavy. And the military is dangerous, how dare the marshal use him? Leave him in Dunhuang and make the best use of his talents. ”

Jia Huan heard Cheng You's unfinished meaning clearly, and nodded gently.
