Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 248
After some spiritual "baptism", Gai Jiayun sent Fang Chongyong out of the Lintao Army's central camp in fear. He was secretly glad that he didn't go too far when he stood up, and now he can make things right. .

If he had used such nonsense to disparage the acting Jiedushi, the consequences today would have been unimaginable.

This Fang Yanei is young, but already has a deep mind, a nimble wrist, and a measured advance and retreat.It's hard to imagine what heights he can reach in the future.

At this moment, Gai Jiayun was convinced and felt that the opponent was standing tall.

He has seen many situations in which people can be suppressed by force, but this is the first time that Gai Jiayun has seen a situation where he can subdue people even though he doesn't have much in hand.

What resources does Fang Chongyong have?

In fact, there was nothing, just a letter of appointment from the emperor, asking him to be responsible for recruiting the elite Longyou Army into the newly established Forbidden Army.

This is just a piece of tiger skin, and its power is not as powerful as outsiders imagine. The key still depends on how Fang Chongyong uses it.

If the recruitment of Yongzhuang into the Yinqian Filial Festival was resisted by the military commanders from all sides of Longyou, causing too much conflict and disturbance, then the Emperor of Chang'an might also take back the appointment letter.The armies under the command of Longyou Jiedushi were the front line against Tibet, no joke.

Relatively speaking, there are many solutions to the recruitment of Silver Spear Xiaojie Army soldiers, such as kicking Fang Chongyong to Shuofang or Hedong to recruit soldiers.

To put it ten thousand steps back, the Emperor of Chang'an was interested in Longyou's soldiers.So wouldn't it be possible to achieve the same goal by sending another person to recruit troops?

It doesn't necessarily need to be done by Fang Chongyong himself.

Therefore, just now Fang Chongyong threatened him with the Silver Spear Filial Piety Army to bring good luck, instead of publicizing his identity in front of outsiders, which can only show that Fang Chongyong is a thoughtful and smart man who is good at scheming.

He has a powerful weapon in his hand, but he doesn't use it easily. When he draws his sword, he "kills", which is full of intimidation.Asking himself, Gai Jiayun felt that he was far from achieving this step.

If he were Fang Chongyong, if he had the appointment letter from the emperor in his hand, Long You would not take the blame for arrears in military pay!Gai Jiayun believed that it would not be difficult for Fang Chongyong to get rid of the blame by virtue of his power.

But Fang Yanei took the blame calmly and acted according to his own ideas.Gai Jiayun didn't know how Fang Chongyong was going to solve the issue of arrears of pay to Longyou's army, but he knew that he would not follow the conventional path.

"The future is terrifying."

At the entrance of the Lintao Army Camp, Gai Jiayun looked at the backs of Fang Chongyong and his group leaving, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He originally thought that he was the envoy of the Lintao Army, and since the Lintao Army did not pay or eat empty wages, he should be in an invincible position and invulnerable.

Unexpectedly, Fang Chongyong could actually get the "letter of recommendation" written by Du Xixi!This can kill people!
According to the unspoken rules of officialdom during the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, letters of recommendation from outgoing Jiedu envoys were very powerful and could often influence the court's decision-making. There were countless cases in the past.

Fang Chongyong only stayed as a posthumous agent to act as the military governor. The court had no idea whether he was suitable to be the military governor, not to mention that he was just a sudden appointment by the emperor of Chang'an.Therefore, it is not difficult for Fang Chongyong to escape, but it will only make others look down upon him.

Du Hope's letter of recommendation directly stated that Gai Jiayun was very suitable to take over the post of Jiedushi. In addition, if Fang Chongyong also wrote back to Chang'an, explaining the situation to Li Longji, saying that Gai Jiayun was more suitable to be the Jiedushi. make.

With a two-pronged approach, there was no need to think too much about what the court would choose. It was a matter of course that Gai Jiayun was officially appointed as the governor of Longyou.

Gai Jiayun had already guessed that Du Hope was not unconscious at all. This old coin should have reached some kind of deal with Fang Chongyong, and now the golden cicada has escaped from his shell and returned to Chang'an!He suddenly had a question in his mind: So many people didn't realize that Du Hope was pretending to be ill. Why did Fang Chongyong notice it as soon as he came to Longyou?
Or is it that everyone has noticed it (excluding himself), but everyone has their own concerns and is silent by default?

Thinking of this, Gai Jiayun was so scared that cold sweat broke out all over his back!

Longyou seemed peaceful, but in fact, the Anren Army's pay dispute caused a series of troubles, so much so that Longyou Jiedushi Du Hope felt that he could no longer protect himself.

Fang Chongyong, a young man under the age of 20, actually dared to take over like this. Is this the so-called "boldness of a highly skilled person"?

Gai Jiayun was still frightened, secretly glad that he had knelt down completely without any reservation.

It's better to be a dog. It's too tiring to be a human. You'll be plotted against at any time, or even killed out of nowhere. You don't know who is behind your back.

No one is covering me, so I feel really insecure.

Eating people without spitting out their bones in the battlefield is much more dangerous than fighting in the battle array!

Gai Jiayun decided to hold Fang Chongyong's thigh tightly for the time being. As for the longer-term matters in the future, let's talk about it in the future.

……

Conquering Gai Jiayun for his own use is the second step in Fang Chongyong's integration of Longyou's military and political affairs. Of course, the first step is to take over the staff team and mess left by Du Xixi, and to push Gai Jiayun to take the blame in exchange for a letter of recommendation. Du hoped to escape from Longyou.

Both sides are what they need.

Fang Chongyong has never forgotten what his job is, and he strictly abides by the rules and does not step on any red lines.

He has the position of supervisory censor, and his job is to detect local lawlessness. Of course, taking free money is also one of the contents of the inspection.

He is the military envoy of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army and is responsible for selecting brave men from the Longyou Army.

He was also the supervisor of the army in Longyou and Hexi. He wanted to check whether the local generals had second thoughts, whether they had colluded with the Tibetan people, and whether anyone wanted to rebel.

As for acting as a military envoy, it was all the result of Brother Ji's "unexpected" results, and it was not his own job.So Fang Chongyong thought very clearly about what he should and should not do.

Means serve the purpose.

As for those things like secretly developing forces and preparing to take advantage of the Anshi Rebellion in the future, Fang Chongyong never considered it at all.In his opinion, to consider this kind of thing now is pure suicide.

It's neither possible nor necessary, and it's extremely dangerous.

In fact, no one in the "workplace" is truly blind.No matter how well a person hides, outsiders can tell at a glance whether he is really doing something or digging a hole.

A certain person is just an employee, but he doesn't think about working well in the company. He thinks about hollowing out the company's foundation all day long, planning to start a new business and become the big boss himself.This attitude is obvious to the boss and colleagues, as conspicuous as a light bulb suddenly turning on in a dark room.

The people who gather around this person, interact with him, and are willing to accept him must also be a group of people who think the same way as him.This is the so-called "birds of a feather flock together and people flock together".

And those who don't want to leave the company, but just want to do well and get promotion opportunities, will consciously stay away from this group of people to avoid being dragged down by them.This is still a case where the company boss is a blind person and a fool. In fact, many times such careerists just take two steps and then disappear.

In terms of professional ethics, if you are eating the food of the court, you must do the affairs of the court.People who eat from the pot but are always ready to smash the pot will be despised wherever they go.Fang Chongyong must do whatever he wants as an official, and he cannot let go of his own job.

From the source of power, Fang Chongyong knows that his power is given by Brother Ji, so it is only natural to do things for Brother Ji.Of course, he would still find a way to turn down a job like the Flower and Bird Envoy, which was purely harmful to the people.

Being born as a human being brings its own shackles.

Although Fang Chongyong has a soul from a thousand years later in his body, he still does not feel the so-called freedom. He also did not pop out of a stone.

It was already dark at this time, but Fang Chongyong still hadn't rested and was still writing letters to Brother Ji in his bedroom.

He wrote down all the chores in the Longyou area such as the lack of pay, the arrears of military pay, the Tubo people being ready to move, and so on. He planned to send someone to take the post road back to Chang'an tomorrow.

Asking for instructions in the morning and reporting later was just the norm for working as a laborer. Now Fang Chongyong has become accustomed to this kind of life of a Tang Dynasty bureaucrat.

"Do you want to see it?"

After finishing the letter, Fang Chongyong noticed that Pei Xiu, who was sitting across the table, had been looking at him, so he handed the stack of letter paper to him.

"Alang really holds a grudge."

Pei Xiu sighed, feeling a little unhappy.She was indeed sent to "protect" Fang Chongyong, but now that both of them were "protected" on the same bed, this level of surveillance was meaningless, so why bother mentioning it!

Pei Xiu reluctantly took the letter and read it at a glance. She was immediately frightened and confused.

She hurriedly returned it to Fang Chongyong, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.Pei Xiu then smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that what A Lang said is true. I thought you were being polite that day. You are too honest."

That day, Fang Chongyong said that he would send someone to take her to Didao County, and then let her return to Chang'an alone.Pei Xiu thought that the other party disliked her for being too much in the way.

Unexpectedly, Longyou is really dangerous!
A warm current flowed through Pei Xiu's heart. She stood up and sat next to Fang Chongyong, whispering: "I won't leave. I will go wherever you go."

"Write a letter to your father and tell him about us so that he won't be frightened."

Fang Chongyong held Pei Xiu's calloused little hand and said.

"Is this... okay?"

Pei Xiu asked in confusion, suddenly a little embarrassed, lowered his head and stopped talking.

When she was drugged by two women from Fang Chongyong's family, she couldn't resist. If something happened, she could only admit that she was unlucky.

When she was hugged by Fang Chongyong two days ago, Pei Xiu could definitely resist, but she didn't, so she couldn't blame others.

She couldn't tell her father, Pei Min, that she actually enjoyed being Fang Chongyong's mistress, right?

"Just write it. I don't like doing those sloppy things. There's nothing I can't say."

Fang Chongyong said softly, already holding Pei Xiu in his arms.

"I know, I'll write it right away and send someone to Youzhou."

Pei Xiu nodded slightly and said.

Then she took up a pen and wrote a letter to Pei Min. She didn't write down the details of how she got involved with Fang Chongyong, but she made it clear about the results and her feelings.Pei Xiu calmly handed the letter to Fang Chongyong and said, "Alang, can you take a look?"

"I don't need to read it. This is a private message written by a daughter to her father."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand and said.

"Ugh!"

Pei Xiu sighed quietly, put her hands around Fang Chongyong's neck and kissed him.

Although it's not exactly the same as the handsome young man in my fantasy, but...it's actually pretty good.

Such a strange thought flashed through Pei Xiu's mind. After a moment, the desire that wanted to burn her body to ashes made her mind go blank, allowing Fang Chongyong to do whatever he wanted to her, without the slightest resistance.

……

"Shuai Fang, Marshal Fang? Are we going to enter the Heyuan Army camp now?"

Seeing Fang Chongyong stagnant in front of the Heyuan Army Station, Gai Jiayun came over and asked in a low voice.

"No need, just wait here for the king."

Fang Chongyong said calmly.Just now, his mind was filled with Pei Xiu's lovely fair body on the bed, and he was completely distracted.

Yesterday, in order to get Pei Xiu to write to Pei Min willingly, Fang Chongyong used all his "means" and tried his best to please during sex.Not only did they light a torch and make out in the bedroom, they also moved the dressing table next to the bed so that Pei Xiu could see her sultry posture during sex in the bronze mirror.

Under Fang Chongyong's deliberate efforts to please, both of them were so excited that they almost collapsed last night!Especially Pei Xiu, when she woke up in the morning and looked at Fang Chongyong, her eyes were so charming that they were almost dripping with water.

Of course, Fang Chongyong would do this, to some extent, not entirely for the pleasure of having sex, but for the relationship between Pei Xiu's father, Pei Min, and the Pei family.

The method of pushing girls was not glorious, but it was not excessive either. Generally speaking, he did not force Pei Xiu, it was just that Fang Chongyong broke the rules he had set for himself in the past.

In the past, Fang Chongyong felt that his woman should be in harmony with him, and both of them should abide by their duties, just like a contract.Since it is a contract, it also requires that men should not mess around outside.

Now, Fang Chongyong’s view is more realistic.Pei Xiu and her family background are useful, useful, and easy to use, and this woman does not make him feel disgusted, and she is being brought to his lips again.

Therefore, Pei Xiu must be captured, even if it goes against his previous principles.It's more like selling your soul.

After all, we still have to make compromises in order to adapt to this era!
Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

While he was thinking wildly, the Heyuan Army envoy Wang Ruolan led a group of generals out of the camp. As soon as they met, everyone crossed their arms and saluted Fang Chongyong who had dismounted: "Please come into the camp, Commander Fang Jie!"

Wang Rao looked at Gai Jiayun calmly, and then at the hundreds of Lintao soldiers behind him.Looking at the attire of these soldiers, each one has a feather on his helmet. They are a special unit under the Lintao Army guarding Longyou Jiedu Prefecture, and they will not leave easily.

Why did they come to the Heyuan Army Camp this time?

Wang Jin had no choice but to prevent these troops from entering the camp, because the other party's status was similar to that of a "gendarme" who was responsible for enforcing the law in the Longyou Army.Gai Jiayun was also the acting military envoy of the Lintao Army and was responsible for commanding these people.It seemed reasonable that he followed Fang Chongyong.

However, Wang Nan could not help but feel nervous due to his long-term caution.Looking at this posture, it seems that the person who came here is evil!

After entering the commander's tent in the Heyuan Army camp, Fang Chongyong sat on the main seat and winked at the secretary in charge beside him.Immediately, the secretary opened the account book in his hand and shouted to Wang Nan and other Heyuan Army generals: "Roll roll call!"

There are only two words in "roll call", but these are the two words that Wang Nan and others least want to hear!

"Fang Jieshuai, there are more than 1 soldiers of the Heyuan Army. When did the roll call take place? You can't just call a name and let a soldier in, right?"

Wang Ran said with an embarrassed look.Seeing that Fang Chongyong was silent, he emphasized: "Fang Jieshuai, there are so many people in the Heyuan Army. If one person comes in just after calling a name, it will take three days to order all the orders."

It doesn't matter if the roll call takes a long time. The key is that something big will happen if you do this!

The Heyuan Army is not fully staffed, but is on empty pay.

There are some people in the roster that do not match the actual soldiers and only exist in the account books.Fang Chongyong called the names one by one in the commander's tent in front of the public. Wouldn't this cost people their lives?
"General Gai, ask your troops to block the gates of each camp of the Heyuan Army. Except for those who need to transport supplies, no one else is allowed to enter or leave the camp, regardless of official rank.

Violators will be punished as treason. "

Fang Chongyong said to Gai Jiayun.

"I have the order! I will do it now!"

Gai Jiayun clasped his hands in a salute, then turned around and left with the soldiers around him.

"What are you doing standing still? Call your name!"

Fang Chongyong impatiently ordered the secretary beside him.

　Alas, it is not easy to update now, and this state will last for a long time.
