Jia Huan was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't catch a passer-by on the street!

In the fourteenth year of Yongzhi, Scholar He received the guards of Prince Wusun in Beijing, and more than 20 people sat in a row, all of them were beheaded in the West City, and sent an envoy to question the king of Wusun. Since then, Hu Er has adhered to the laws of Zhou in various places in the Great Zhou Dynasty and did not dare to be arrogant.

Therefore, in Dunhuang City, there must be a profound reason behind this arrogant atmosphere of Hu Yan. In short, there is the power to support it!

Jia Huan and his entourage walked all the way to Guiyun Tower. Wang Lan had already booked a private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

Mr. Wang is a man in his forties, dressed as a scribe, with an ordinary appearance, a slight stature, and a very elegant temperament.

Wang Lan bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I took the liberty of inviting Jia Tanhua to get together, don't blame." Please! Stretched out his hand to invite Jia Huan to sit down.

Qian Huai, who was following Jia Huan, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a scenery the third master is in Beijing and Jinling. But since the beginning of the westward journey, it seems that everyone has not been seen! Hu Qian Wang scrutinized; Zeng staff is high-minded; Shang guerrilla sleek; Cheng's staff was cold. Until this moment, there is a feeling that "the end of the world is everywhere" in the past.

Moreover, the one who "complimented" the third master was the former Hanlin waiter. One step further, it's the minister of the six squires!

Qian Huai's heart suddenly felt very comfortable!

In the private room, the environment is elegant, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and orchids in the corners. The noise of the street outside the window is occasionally heard in, impregnated with the breath of life.

Jia Huan smiled politely and arched his hand: "Senior Wang is polite." Please! ”

The ministers of the Hanlin Academy usually do not judge the level by their official position, but by the rank of the field. Wang Lan called Jia Huan Jia Tanhua, which is not only the name of Jia Huan, but also the name of Jia Huan. It depends on how Jia Huan understands it. In short, today's meeting is not a meeting in officialdom.

Otherwise, Wang Shi, who is in his forties from the sixth grade, will have to meet with Senator Jia, who is only seventeen years old. It's embarrassing!

Jia Huan met directly with the rules of Hanyuan. Honorific title of Mr. Wang as a senior. In an instant, the atmosphere of the private room became extremely harmonious.

Wang Lan smiled slightly, nodded, and looked at Jia Huan approvingly.

Since the ninth year of Yongzhi, Jia Huan entered Shilin, and it is not for nothing that he can be praised, cared for, and liked by many predecessors in the field along the way. It is rumored in Beijing that he respects teachers and respects the way and has good conduct. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name: calm temperament and magnificent bearing.

The second child of the restaurant served the wine. Wang Lan and Jia Huan touched a cup, went straight to the topic, and said: "In the Western Regions today, there is no one in Hu Daochanghan. In the past, the Tang Dynasty faced the powerful Eastern Turks, saying: Rong Di is strong, and there is no ancient one. Today, the situation is similar. The alliance of the Baye Ancient Department and Tongluo, Xue Yan, and Hui Hui controlled hundreds of thousands of people.

The current situation is not only the approach of the barbarian army. There are also internal concerns. The governor of Qi personally led the generals to the front line of Guazhou to base the enemy, but left Vice General Miao to garrison in Dunhuang, which is of great significance! I was in the city for many days and learned that Vice General Miao was friendly with the Hu people. His favorite concubine was the Tuyuhun woman. ”

Jia Huan frowned when he heard this. In other words, what Mr. Wang means is that the general situation at this time is internal and external difficulties. He picked up the delicate wine bottle and asked slowly: "What does Senior Wang mean, Vice General Miao is suspected of collaborating with the enemy?" ”

Wang Ling shook his head and said, "No." Vice General Miao advocated a policy of gentleness towards the Hu people. He was able to stabilize the situation in Dunhuang and Guazhou before the arrival of the governor of Qi, thanks to his good relationship with the Tuyuhun tribe. At that time, he borrowed 20,000 horsemen. ”

Jia Huan laughed and said, "Vice General Miao is still very competent as a stay-at-home!" ”

There is actually a Hu Qi in the city controlled by the Great Zhou, and it is of such a scale. To Hu Ren, he is a genius! No wonder Hu Er in Dunhuang City dared to be arrogant. The roots are here! Hu rode 20,000!

Wang Lan smiled and said, "There is a situation in one place." I know that Ziyu has the talent of the world, and this time I came to the Western Regions to plan for the future. The current war is about to begin, and unity is the priority. No one may be willing to say it explicitly. Ziyu has just arrived, I picked out this matter, and I hope Ziyu won't blame me for being too talkative. ”

Jia Huan's heart moved, raised his wine glass and touched Wang Lan lightly, and said, "How can this be?" I can't thank you enough. Senior Wang is polite. ”

Wang smiled and drank.

The political alliance between the two was reached in this glass of wine.

For the first time since his westward journey, Jia Huan felt the atmosphere in the court. During this time, he was busy planning and dispatching grain and grass. Actually, it's kind of doing math work. And at the moment, he felt something completely different!

Wang Lan is worthy of being the No. 2 person in the Fujian Party and a person who is expected to be a high-ranking official in the ministry. It can be seen that the purpose of his visit to the Western Regions is to plan for the future. As soon as he showed goodwill, he made it clear that there was a contradiction between Governor Qi and Vice General Miao.

This contradiction, on the surface, is a contradiction in the control of military power. It was the contradiction between the new army and the old left-behind army. Niu Jizong's subordinates, Qi Chi may not be so convinced. Vice General Miao is the banner man in front of the stage.

Vice General Miao was born in Jiubian, but he stabilized the situation in Dunhuang and Guazhou. The generals of the Beijing camp were still convinced. He also took in the people, and did his best to provide food and grass, and had a share of incense.

Moreover, Qi Chi's strategy is to fight steadily and steadily, while the generals of General Niu's soldiers are only afraid of eagerness for revenge. With 60,000 Beijing camps in hand, the world can go to it, why do you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head?

The deeper reason for the contradiction lies in the different positions of Governor Qi and Vice General Miao towards the Hu people. Both Jia Huan and Governor Qi were hardliners. The governor of Qi destroyed the country in the southwest, and the heads of the people killed were rolling. If it weren't for that, Jia Huan wouldn't have followed Governor Qi to the Western Regions.

Wang Lan courted Jia Huan. The purpose, with Jia Huan's political level, is of course speculated. Bachelor Wang wants to show his skills in the Western Regions, so as to make meritorious contributions and make a comeback. Therefore, he and Jia Huan have the same purpose.

This is the basis of the cooperation between the two.

Jia Huan's current official position and task is to be in charge of logistics. He has to negotiate with Hu Shang and the gentry tonight. However, he didn't come to the Western Regions just to be a quartermaster. He needs to get in touch with the generals to obtain the basic plate in the army and lay the foundation for the future government.

Therefore, he also came to the Western Regions to do a big job, change the situation in the Western Regions, implement his policies, and make his mark on this land! Rather than simply following the army to transport grain and grass, and not asking about the rest.

…

…

With the establishment of the alliance, Jia Huan and Wang Lan drank and chatted at the same time. The conversation went deeper and deeper. And this further verifies Jia Huan's judgment: Wang Lan is very talented!

"When the Mint Bureau machines and craftsmen in Qiuci were evacuated, I all transported them back to Dunhuang."

"Envoy Han Bu is not stupid. There is currently a governor in the Western Regions. Government decrees and military orders are known to the governor's yamen, and the administrative department is only the executive body. Therefore, he did not go to the Shazhou Mansion and Dunhuang County Government in the city at all. Instead, they live in a caravanserais. ”

Jia Huan really wants his political enemies to be stupid. How much work can be saved? But it seems that the politics of the Western Regions make it difficult for Han Bo'an to entangle.

"Niu Jizong's military talent is good. With an army of 100,000, he pacified the entire territory of the Western Regions. Reset the four towns of Anxi. The border extends west to the Tocharian region. It can be described as a military achievement. However, in the governance of the Western Regions, it is mediocre.

Although the Western Regions has a political secretary, it needs the support of the military for its policies. The imperial court's selection of the Governor of Qi to preside over the overall situation of the Western Regions is undoubtedly a very correct move. ”

Jia Huan agrees with these views. A meal of wine, eaten from noon to more than four o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them just broke up.

At the door of Guiyun Tower, the sun and the Xi. The autumn breeze is gentle. The streets were full of people. Jia Huan and Wang Lan said goodbye at the door.

Wang Ling wanted to speak and stopped. But after all, nothing was said. In fact, if Jia Huan wants to successfully raise grain and grass tonight, he must first visit Vice General Miao and obtain the support of Vice General Miao, which will be much easier. However, he doesn't want to talk much about these military affairs.

Jia Huan understood what Wang Lan meant, smiled, and arched his hand: "Senior Wang, farewell." Regarding the situation in Dunhuang and Guazhou at this time, he vaguely had a plan in his heart.

…

…

On the fourteenth night, a total of sixteen Hu merchants and gentlemen gathered in the small hall on the third floor of Guiyun Building. The two sides are clearly divided.

The small hall is brightly lit, and there are drinks and dishes on each table of the Eight Immortals. And tonight's master, Jia Huan, has not yet appeared. At that time, it had only been about an hour and a half since he had eaten here in the afternoon.

The atmosphere in the hall was slightly agitated. Hu Shang moved his fat body and complained in Turkic: "At a young age, the official authority is quite big!" ”
