Chapter 19: The Edict of the Envoys
When Xu Ping and several generals were watching around in the barracks, Chong Shiheng suddenly sent someone to report that the Xuanzhao envoy sent by the capital to Qingtang had arrived, and asked Xu Ping to return to Qinzhou immediately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as the party item was reversed, the imperial court immediately added an official to the court, rewarded him with money and goods, and hoped that he would contain Yuan Hao from the side and rear. However, the edict was written, but there was no envoy to Qingtang. Originally, there was a left servant who forbade Lu Jing to go to Qingtang twice, and this time he was asked to go, and he couldn't live or die. Even if he was relegated to a remote state and county to supervise the liquor tax, Lu Jing resolutely did not go, and the matter dragged on until now.
After arriving in Qinzhou, Xu Ping knew that the current scumbag could not take on the heavy task of containing the party at all, and Yuan Hao was not a fool, and the threat of the side and rear had been eliminated before the anti-Song Dynasty. Although the party was not able to annex the Gang Clan, it won over Michuan, occupied the important places of Huizhou and Lanzhou, and cut off the connection between the Qing and Tang Dynasty and the imperial court. Moreover, there are several opposing forces to contain it, and it is not easy to stay in Qingtang, where is there any spare strength to take the initiative to attack. However, he can't contain the party, but he can cooperate with Xu Ping's strategy for Longxi Tubo, and it is not useless to reward officials.
When he returned to Qinzhou City with Li Zhang, and saw the envoy who announced the decree, Xu Ping was speechless for a while. The envoy who came to announce the decree was Liu Lian, a foreigner from Tuntian. When Xu Ping returned to the capital at the beginning, because Empress Guo was deposed, Liu Jian and several imperial historians came to his house to make a fuss, which made Lin Suniang angry. Afterwards, Xu Ping impeached them in the last chapter, and Liu Lian was demoted from the capital.
Unexpectedly, I chose thousands of choices, and finally chose such an envoy who had a holiday with Xu Ping. Thinking that Liu Jian has been unhappy in the past few years, he also wants to take this opportunity to turn over, and he does not hesitate to take the risk to envoy Qingtang.
After seeing the ceremony, everyone sat down, and Liu Jian bowed his hand to Xu Ping: "A few years ago, the handsome returned to the capital for the first time, because the abolition of Queen Guo disturbed the mansion. What happened very much back then, and where the offense was offended, the festival commander was not to blame. ”
Xu Ping said with a smile: "It's been a few years since the incident, you guys made trouble, and I also impeached me in the last chapter, of course, it was revealed." Such a trivial thing has to be remembered for a lifetime, and Xu has not had such a small belly. This matter will never be mentioned again! ”
Liu Lian thanked him, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground. To envoy Qingtang, there must be Xu Ping, the border marshal, to cooperate, if he keeps remembering the previous festivals, things will be very tricky.
After asking for tea, Xu Ping asked Liu Jian about the situation on the road and his plans.
Liu Jian said: "I heard that the Qingtang Road is not open now, and a certain envoy with an edict will naturally put his own life on the line. It's just that the court rewarded a lot of silk and tea, which were not something that one person could carry on his body, and he had to work hard and be handsome. ”
What Fan Qiang needs is silk tea, these things can't be bought with money in their territory, if Liu Jian changes the silk tea for gold and silver to carry, there is no point. Therefore, the reward must be delivered, and Xu Ping must send someone to follow him.
Xu Ping asked Liu Lian: "The road in Qinzhou is not easy to walk now, I don't know if the silk tea rewarded by the imperial court has come with it?" It is still prepared by Qinzhou, and you take it to Qingtang. ”
"Handsome, silk tea will go out of Beijing with me. However, after arriving at Fengxiang Mansion, because of the difficult and dangerous road, they were a few days behind, and then they came. Because the lower officials didn't know the situation in Longxi, they took the first step. - By the way, the festival marshal played the imperial court asked some bridges and road troops to come to repair the road, and they came with me, and now they are in Fengxiang Mansion with Juancha. ”
Xu Ping was overjoyed: "Oh, I don't know who is leading the team from the bridge road?" ”
"Chongban Lufang in the inner hall, brought the three command chamber troops and the corresponding equipment, and they will arrive in a few days."
Xu Ping nodded again and again, the Privy Council was still interesting enough to himself, and asked his old subordinate Lu Fang to bring someone over. The bridge and road division renovated the road into Qinfeng Road, Han Zong is thousands of miles away, and it is very good to be able to repair a few trunk roads, and the roads in Qinzhou will not be taken care of. Through the Tibetan Department, the most important thing is traffic, as long as the road is open, everything is easy to say. In the past half a year, Xu Ping needs to renovate the road to Fengxiang Mansion to make the flow of materials smoother, as a support for Qinzhou's next move.
Hearing the news of Lu Fang's coming, Xu Ping felt much more relaxed, and even looked at Liu Jian and felt less annoying.
Liu Lian is not a stunned young man who doesn't know anything about Qinzhou, he came with a hot head, his father Liu Wenzhen served as the governor of Qinzhou twice before his death, and Xiaoluomenzhai was built by him. His younger brother Liu Hu was serving as the governor of Watingzhai in Anhua County, Weizhou at this time, and Liu Lian was no stranger to Fanqiang in Qinzhou and Jingyuan Road. Born in Jiangmen, although Liu Jian is a literary resource, he is still uninhibited, especially when there is nothing to avoid and forge ahead, if it were not for this, he would not have gone to Xu Ping's door to make trouble.
After a rough talk about the current situation around Qinzhou, Xu Ping said to Liu Lian: "To go to Qingtang, you should go west from Guwei and take the road of Di Dao in the previous dynasty." However, now Lanzhou has been occupied by the party, and can only go to Hezhou. Hezhou is now occupied by the eldest son of Ngoro, Blind Felt, and it is said that their father and son broke up, and Blind Felt is quite complaining, so it is not easy to walk there. ”
Liu Jian asked, "I don't know why their father and son broke up?" There are occasional rumors about this matter, but I don't know how it is. ”
Xu Ping sighed: "Qinzhou doesn't know exactly, only a general message. It is said that this is the case, and he left his brother Li Lizun, and went to Michuan to stand according to the Aran Wen Qiqi, and married a wife Qiao at that time. The Qiao family is a big family in the Qingtang Dynasty and Tubo, and this Qiao family has some appearance, which is quite popular. Moreover, the Qiao family is shrewd and capable, relying on the power of his own family to have heavy troops, and his position is very important in the city. He fell out with the Aran clan, and after killing Wen Qiqi, he went to Qingtang, relying on the Qiao family's power there. Qiao's favor, the first two wives were Li Lizun's daughters, so they naturally lost power, so they let them become nuns and settle in Kuozhou. Fan Qiang's affection was weak, because the eldest son and second son of the Gang were born to the Li family and were imprisoned by him. Who knows how there was an accident, and the Li family and their two sons contacted Li Baquan, the leader of the clan, and escaped together. Now his eldest son Blind Felt occupies the land of Hezhou, and the second son Mo Felt Corner is based on Zongge City, all of which are against the Gang Guy. Therefore, the road from Qinzhou to Qingtang is no longer passable, and if you want to announce the decree to the guys, you should think of a perfect way. ”
Qinzhou went to Qingtang, and after the ancient saying, the westward journey was along the Di Dao road that has existed since ancient times. After passing the Di Road, go down the river along the Taoshui, and then either go to Lanzhou against the Huangshui, or go directly against the Yellow River to Hezhou and Kuozhou, there is no other road. Now Lanzhou is the party's sphere of influence, the big chief Yu Zanghua Ma has fallen, married Yuan Hao's daughter, then the road to Lanzhou is not passable, can only go to Hezhou.
Liu Jian thought for a while and asked Xu Ping: "This time to Qingtang, I don't know what the Jieshuai has in mind, can pass unhindered in the land of Fanqiang?" ”
Xu Ping said: "There is a way, but you have to stay in Qinzhou for a few days and wait for everything to be ready." ”
"This matter is important, don't rush for a while, it's okay to wait."
"Okay, that's it. Before I came to Qinfeng Road, because of the importance of Buddha in Fanqiang, I used to recruit monks to accompany the army. There is a Master Qi Song who has come from thousands of miles away and is currently in Qinzhou City. This is a monk with a high degree, I have already played the court, gave him the name of the purple cloth, and when the court gave it down, I went deep into the land of Fan Qiang to preach the Dharma. Only monks can walk freely among the various ethnic groups in their place and will not be detained. At that time, you will be wronged, pretend to be a disciple of Qi Song, and go to Qingtang with him. ”
