Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 404 The secret that cannot be told
In the study room of the Stone King's Palace in Zhezhi City, He Changqi kicked the tied-up Liu Xixian to the ground. Two soldiers held his arms, one on the left and the other on the right, holding him down so that he could not move.

"Kneel down and be honest!"

He Changqi cursed Liu Xixian.

"You have the guts to kill me!"

Liu Xixian cursed at Fang Zhongyong, who was sitting leisurely at the table looking at the map, not looking afraid of death at all. As for He Changqi, who is a "dog fighting against human power", he doesn't even bother to look at it.

"In this section, Shuai heard someone say that when we were in the post house, you shouted and sparred with me, right?"

Fang Zhongyong asked slowly without raising his head.

"So what! The dignified commander actually asked his subordinates to pretend to be bandits, attack the post house, and kill the court officials!
Despicable and shameless! "

Liu Xixian continued to curse as he was not defeated by others.

He Changqi wanted to come up and slap him, but Fang Chongyong waved his hand gently. There's no point in trying to show off this kind of power. If you really want to do it, just stab him to death.

"He Laohu, since he wants to practice alone with the coach of this section, then you should practice with him.

Liu Xixian said with a guilty conscience.

After a while, Liu Xixian was beaten to the ground and felt that all the muscles in his body were twitching. He Changqi also received two punches in the face, but his skin was rough and his flesh was thick, so it was nothing serious.

In fact, he knew very well that he couldn't do those things. Because one person's power is small and he cannot accomplish great things. To accomplish great things, it requires the joint efforts of many powerful people.

"They fought for thousands of miles, fighting through mountains of swords and seas of fire without blinking an eye, fighting on the battlefield.

"Uh……"

Fang Chongyong asked a series of questions, leaving Liu Xixia speechless. Indeed, as the other party said, he really knows nothing!
"I do not know."

Fang Chongyong pointed to He Changqi, Che Guangqian, Wang Nan and others in the study and continued:

"This section shows that you are still a man, handsome, and now I will give you a chance.

Fang Chongyong stepped forward, stared at Liu Xisiam and said.

You have chopped more people than you have killed chickens!
Some people traveled thousands of miles back and forth to investigate, and many horses were killed!
You come from Chang'an, and you don't even know what the big cannibals look like. You just have an imperial edict and want to quietly take credit for their achievements.

At the end of his speech, Fang Chongyong's tone suddenly rose, already filled with deep anger and blame!

"Then do you know who is the king, who is the dignitary, and who is the great merchant in the countries west of Congling?
How many private armies do they have each, how big is their territory, what specialties are there, how many people are there, how much fertile land is there, and how many connected roads are there?
You should know where you cannot march in winter, where you cannot march in summer, where there are rivers and where there are springs, right? "

"We are facing a huge eater with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Five thousand people dare to charge regardless of life and death, and still win a complete victory. Can you? Do you dare?

……

We are here, working together vertically and horizontally, so that all countries will regard the Tang Dynasty as their father, so that every citizen of the Tang Dynasty can stand up and be a good person. Can you do it? "

Hearing this, He Changqi and the others held their heads high, and the last bit of shame in their hearts completely disappeared.

Fang Chongyong put the map down and looked at Liu Xixian and asked.

"So, you, and the Minister of War, Zhang Jie, who was shot to death by random arrows, you have neither ability nor merit, nor do you understand the local customs, mountains and rivers geography.

One on one, beat him until he is convinced. "

Che Guangqian stepped forward and untied the rope from Liu Xixian's body. The latter moved his hands and feet, looked at Fang Chongyong and asked: "Jie Shuai, what are the rules?"

How could he do this? Being stubborn is just trying to hold on.

You look at them. "

Fang Chongyong pointed at He Changqi and said.

Then he stared at Liu Xisiam with unkind eyes.

Therefore, the person who can bring these powerful people together must be a more powerful person with a higher rank.

Liu Xixian's heart suddenly shuddered when she realized that He Changqi was smiling evilly at him.

Someone who can be nicknamed Tiger will definitely be difficult to deal with in a one-on-one fight.

Liu Xisia looked at Fang Chongyong. He originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have anything to say.

Liu Xixian said bravely.

"I can't tell, I don't have a chance to try."

He estimated that if he proposed that he must practice alone with Fang Chongyong, it would not be impossible for him to be beaten to death by the group of people on the opposite side.

"never seen it."

"There are no rules, everyone can do it according to their abilities. If you are good at it, you can kill He Laohu, and the commander in charge will not hesitate in this section."

Fang Chongyong asked again.

Liu Xixian said truthfully.

He Laohu, help him up. "

The latter was speechless, and the study fell into a terrible silence.

"Have you ever seen a giant cannibal?"

You are not despicable, you are not shameless, right?
You thief! How dare you mention being despicable and shameless in front of the commander of this section!
Who is the scum and who is the pillar of defense for the country? Do you really have no idea in your heart?
Are you blind, or are you pretending not to be able to distinguish right from wrong!
Tell me, are you stupid or bad? "

After saying that, Fang Chungyong sat back down, and the other generals retreated to Fang Chungyong's side to watch the battle, as if they were watching a good show.

He Changqi reluctantly helped Liu Xisiam up. He had not tried his best just now. After all, Fang Chongyong had explained it beforehand.

Otherwise, killing Liu Xixian would be more than enough.

Liu Xixian struggled to stand up straight, looked at Fang Chongyong and asked cautiously: "May I ask what chance the Commander-in-Chief will give you?"

"In this section, Shuai has a question first.

Is Zhang Jie your father-in-law, your benefactor, your foster father, uncle, etc.?

Which one? "

Fang Chongyong asked with confusion on his face.

Liu Xixian shook his head and said: "It hasn't been long since the last general took refuge with him. He just came from a humble background and had a bright future. He is not the last general."

It was a matter of life, and Liu Xixian told the truth.

In fact, there were many grassroots officers like Liu Xixian in the Tang army. They were generally proficient in bows and horses and literate in writing. Occasionally, these people will encounter the opportunity to be suddenly promoted by their superiors who appreciate them and enter the fast track for promotion.

Che Guangqian is an obvious example, and so is Li Guangbi.

Those who are promoted will naturally act as the benefactor's lackeys, hawks and dogs, to serve them in order to better climb up the ladder and repay the kindness of their benefactor.

In the same way, when one is prosperous, both are prosperous, and when one is deprived, both are deprived.

"Well, the Commander-in-Chief now orders you to write a memorial to inform the court in detail what happened.

How to write it specifically, do you need me to teach you? "

Fang Chongyong stared at Liu Xisiam and asked.

When Liu Xixian heard this, he was puzzled at first. After thinking about it again and again, he suddenly realized it, and then said in a deep voice:
“When our group arrived at Zhezhi City, the main force of the Anxi Expeditionary Force had already set off and was not in the city.

At night at the inn, we were attacked by unknown bandits.

The general finally managed to escape after a deadly battle and was slightly injured, but unfortunately all members of the mission died.

The general had no choice but to wait for the Tang army to return in Zhezhi City and write this letter to the court to report the specific situation. "

"General Liu's future is limitless. It's better to choose the day than to hit it. Write down the memorial now.

This chapter allows you to use my desk to write this memorial. "

Fang Chongyong pointed to the table behind him and said.

At this moment, Liu Xixian's complexion was turning blue and white, and he could already feel the contempt of many generals around Fang Chongyong.

But he had no choice because Zhang Ji was already dead! There is no point in being buried with this dead man and showing loyalty to the dead man!

If he doesn't find a new backer, even if Fang Chongyong lets him go, he will be wildly retaliated by Zhang Jie's forces!

No reason.

Asking is just to vent your anger, Zhang Jie is dead, how can Liu Xixian not die!

Those in power in Chang'an all hold similar thoughts. On the contrary, this Commander Fang Jie was decisive in killing, ruthless in his attacks, and made sure of his success every step of the way!
This is more than a little better than Zhang Jie!

This should be the biggest and most important decision in his life!

"Here is the pen and ink."

Feng Changqing put the pen and ink he had prepared on the desk, then stepped aside. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Liu Xixian.

If there was anything wrong with him, he would die in an instant.

Liu Xisiam swallowed and organized the words in his mind. Fortunately, he had studied some books when he was a child and was not a reckless man who couldn't read a word. At this moment, his brain was working rapidly, and he felt that he was much smarter than usual!
After writing the memorial in one go, he carefully handed it to Feng Changqing. The latter looked at it again and again, shook his head slightly, and handed it over to Che Guangqian, a general with good Chinese skills, for observation.

Che Guangqian couldn't help but shake her head after seeing it. She leaned close to Fang Chongyong and muttered a lot. She seemed to be pointing out that she was dissatisfied with the poor writing of Liu Xisiam's memorial and how it should be polished.

"That's all, writing this way is true enough.

General Liu, just put your fingerprint on the memorial.

Oh, by the way, please make another copy.

In this section, Shuai also wants to take it home and watch your masterpiece. Thank you for your hard work! "

Fang Chongyong smiled at Liu Xisiam. Although he didn't mean any threat, it made the latter shudder.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I'll just write it now, just write it now."

Liu Xixian forced a smile, and there was no luck in his heart.

Seeing Liu Xisiaan conscientiously copying his own memorial, Fang Chongyong said meaningfully:
"General Liu, do you think you are good at fighting?
Is there any use for you to know how to spank? To go out and hang out, you need to be powerful and have a background.

Otherwise, why would Zhang Jie be able to crush you? It’s not because he is the consort, Zhang Shuo’s son!
If you want to contend with these, you need to have brothers around you to help you.

In this section, if there are so many cool brothers beating you, what's the use if you can beat them?

To achieve great things, it all depends on the brothers working together.

You can't do anything alone.

From now on, if you follow this section and be handsome, you will have brothers to help you, and you will naturally be able to accomplish great things.

Do you understand this or not? "

Fang Chongyong seemed to be reasoning with Liu Xixiao, and also seemed to be emphasizing the importance of uniting and helping each other with the generals present.

"I understand, of course the general will understand."

Liu Xixian showed a flattering smile and nodded like a shrimp.

The content of the memorial itself was not much, so he finished transcribing it in a short time, handed the original to Fang Chongyong, and put his fingerprint on the copying plate.

After doing all this, Liu Xixian still feels that this world is extremely unreal!

Not to mention it's ridiculous, it's so obvious that it's ridiculous.

Is Zhang Jie a good person?

To a certain extent, this is a typical bad guy. It's disgusting just to take credit from others.

Is Fang Chongyong a good person?

It doesn't seem to be the case. He holds back and kills in one fell swoop. He is more like a butcher who kills without blinking an eye.

But Fang Chongyong was also a great contributor to the expansion of the Tang Dynasty! Can you say he is a bad person?
This world is really complicated!
Liu Xixian felt like she had been taught a lesson.

"Feng Canjun, please arrange for General Liu to stay."

Fang Chongyong waved his hand, indicating that Liu Xixia could leave.

The latter felt as if he had been granted amnesty. Unexpectedly, he had already stepped into the gate of hell, but miraculously survived.

Of course, there is a price to pay for survival. I boarded the pirate ship today, but it will not be easy to get off in the future.

Judging from the way Fang Chongyong and his gang do things, it is obvious that they are difficult to deal with, let alone fooled.

"At the end of the day, I will retire, I will retire."

Liu Xixian bowed respectfully to the other party and followed Feng Changqing away.

After he left, He Changqi asked with a dissatisfied look: "Jie Shuai, why are you keeping this guy? If he tells the truth, won't we suffer?"

"You know nothing! If Liu Xixian tells the truth to Zhang's people, will Zhang's people let him go? Will the court let him go?

Is the memorial he is writing now considered deceiving the emperor? Do you think the emperor has no face? "

Fang Chongyong asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, He Changqi and others looked at each other. They finally understood why Fang Chongyong told them that they must leave one alive.

Fang Jieshuai's work is really impeccable!

Without the "witness" of Liu Xixian, no matter whether Fang Chongyong did it or not, the Anxi Expeditionary Force would not be able to get away with it. Because both the court and Brother Ji need an "explanation."

The truth of the matter is the least important thing.

If no one can be found to take the blame, then Fang Chongyong can only take the blame; there is no need to go into details as to whether he did it or not.

But with Liu Xixian, the person involved, writing a memorial and going back, the situation was completely different.

His memorial will point out a "clear" direction.

If Liu Xixian said it was done by bandits, that means it was done by bandits; if he said that the Anxi Expeditionary Force had already left Shi Guo, that means it had already left.

In short, no one’s words are as useful as the testimony of the parties involved!
This muddies the waters.

So no matter how suspicious the court is, if the "powerful witness" bites him to death, the matter will just go away!
If you say it's a bandit, it's a bandit. Otherwise, who can bear the responsibility of forcing the border troops to rebel?

He was just a minister of the Ministry of War. Without Zhang Ji, there were others. Maybe many people were automatically promoted to a higher level because of the official position vacated by Zhang Ji. Would they be secretly grateful to these "bandits"?

I really thought that many people missed Zhang Ji and fought for him! If everyone dies, then there is nothing!
The most unlucky person was Liu Xixian who survived. Zhang suffered such a big loss that those people would not forgive him. In the end, Liu Xixian had to seek the protection of Fang Zhongyong to protect himself.

Otherwise, the world is so big and there are enemies everywhere, so it would be better to commit suicide directly! Unless his brain was caught in the door, how could Liu Xixian snitch?
He Changqi asked this question, which fully exposed his IQ.

"Commander Jie, you are still very powerful. You are the Minister of the Ministry of War or the Prince Consort, that's all!"

He Changqi's poor flattery reflected the unanimous thoughts of all the generals.

The senior officials in Chang'an are really not very good! The blood spurted out immediately after the knife was struck, but the neck was not as hard as iron!

"This is what you don't understand. In fact, the officials in the center are still very powerful on their main battlefield.

On the contrary, when we get to such a place, all our strength is useless.

They shouldn't imagine Border Town to be like Chang'an. The Western Region is not their stage. "

Fang Chongyong said with a long sigh. In fact, he was not as relaxed as he appeared at the moment.

Judging from Zhang Ji's aggressive appearance this time, Fang Chongyong estimated that the subsequent impact of Li Linfu's assassination had already come and would continue.

The court has begun to enter a period of turmoil, and its impact will also affect the border town.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army will return to Chang'an. This night attack on the post house is just to ensure that the previous military exploits can be fulfilled and to remove the constraints for his father-in-law Wang Zhongsi.

For Fang Chongyong himself, there are not many positive benefits.

But for the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army, the impact cannot be underestimated. In addition to ensuring the fulfillment of military merits, it also demonstrates cohesion and execution capabilities.

All the generals knew that Fang Chongyong, the "boss", would stand up for them. As for the emperor himself, he was of no use at the critical moment.

After today, the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army officially became Fang Chongyong’s official name! Everyone has a common "secret that cannot be told"!
No matter what the personal relationship is, in the military, we must keep the same gun to the outside world!
"It's all gone, we'll set off for Mulu City tomorrow.

This battle is to make an immortal contribution and rectify the name of our Silver Spear Filial Piety Army!

Anyone who offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is.

This is telling the big eater that as long as they dare to mess with us again, even if they escape to Persia or Baghdad, we can chase them!
Let the princes in the court such as Zhang Jie and others dare not underestimate me and play tricks on our military exploits!
Please encourage yourselves! Face is all cut off with a knife! "

Fang Chongyong shouted loudly to the generals.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

He Changqi and others shouted in unison, and the atmosphere in the study was extremely heated.

However, at this moment, the five-color parrot behind Fang Chongyong suddenly shouted with a broken gong-like voice like a male duck: "Move by yourself! Move by yourself!"
