By the way, Pei Zhounan was not a treacherous minister. He had never done anything bad when he was in Chang'an. At most, he drank and got drunk and smashed several taverns.

It was not his wish to come to Anxi, he just had to do it according to the order. The Pei family in Hedong was a century-old in-law of the imperial family of the Li Tang Dynasty and was relatively trustworthy. Li Longji naturally sent the children of the Pei clan to Anxi after careful consideration.

Pei Zhounan was free and easy by nature and had a very literary talent. Otherwise, he would not have been included in the "Eight Immortals in Drinking" by his descendants. However, when the shackles of the family and the emperor's destiny were tied to his shoulders, he had to give up his nature and chose to obey.

Facing the angry scolding and accusations of countless businessmen in person, Pei Zhounan, who was originally calm, was a little panicked.

After all, he is just a scholar. Scholars can reason, but scolding is definitely not a strong point.

The gate of the Jiedushi's mansion was surrounded by a mess. The ruler Gu was not there. Pei Zhounan, who had become famous overnight, was surrounded by the crowd. Faced with the angry scolding from all directions, Pei Zhounan was at a loss. He had never experienced the feeling of being criticized by thousands of people in his life, and was in a panic and fearful mood.

With the help of Li Sima, Pei Zhounan finally got rid of the crowd and quickly left the city. He stood in the yellow sand outside the city and breathed a sigh of relief, then walked towards the camp.

Pei Zhounan has a special identity and does not need to report to enter the camp. He goes straight into the camp and goes straight to the coach's tent.

When Pei Zhounan opened the curtain of the handsome tent, there was no one inside. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Could it be that this guy is really going to hunt?

Looking around again, Gu Qing's personal guards were not there either, and it seemed that he had really taken the personal guards out of the camp.

Pei Zhounan realized that he had made a wrong move and the order to withdraw his troops was too hasty. He had already made a promise in front of the city merchants that he must do what he said.

With two followers, Pei Zhounan turned around and went to Shen Tian’s camp again.

Shen Tian’s camp is located in front of the Central Army Commander’s tent. Pei Zhounan has been rushing around in the camp these days?     I have long been familiar with the tents of the generals.

When he came to Shen Tian's camp? Shen Tian was wearing a single dress, lying half-lying in the shade with his chest open and was dozing off? The guard next to him was fanning him hard? Shen Tian was half-dream and half-awake, still feeling impatient by the heat.

Pei Zhounan came over and woke Shen Tian up. Shen Tian was quite surprised? He got up in a messy dress and saluted.

Pei Zhounan said with awkward expression that he had been surrounded by merchants in the city just now, and implicitly expressed his apology to Shen Tian. He said that he should not have decided to withdraw his troops in a hasty way? He made General Shen fail and caused rampant bandits.

Shen Tian's expression was stunned, and it took him a while to understand the meaning.

"Censor Pei means..." Shen Tian asked politely.

Pei Zhounan said awkwardly: "The Western Regions commercial road has always been valued by His Majesty. Mr. Gu came to Anxi as the governor. One of the decrees given to him is to maintain the peace of the Western Regions commercial road? Don't cut it off? Now that the commercial road is rampant, I'm afraid our Anxi Army will send troops to wipe out..."

Shen Tian suddenly realized: "What Jingshi Pei means is to mobilize troops to suppress bandits?"

Pei Zhounan nodded subconsciously: "That's right, we'll mobilize troops to suppress bandits..."

Smile, Pei Zhounan explained: "It was supposed to be that Mr. Gu personally ordered the dispatch of troops, but I heard that Mr. Gu went out to hunt yesterday? I don't know when he would return. This is an urgent matter. The merchants in Kucha City are in a difficult situation. It is better to comfort them as soon as possible..."

Chen Tian smiled easily and said, "It is very easy to suppress bandits? My Anxi army is everywhere, and bandits are frightened by the news? Where can those jumping little girls compete with my Anxi iron army? But...Civil Pei? You need to have a document to transfer troops. No matter who gives the documents, you must write them in black and white. The last general dares to lead his troops out of the camp if he has the documents to transfer troops. Otherwise, the last general will be dispatched privately and will not escape military law. Haha, if Censor Pei doesn't bother, why not write a military order to transfer troops to the last general. After receiving the order to transfer troops, he will lead his troops out of the camp to suppress the bandits..."

Pei Zhounan Zhanyan smiled and said, "I will write the military order for you now..."

Chen Tian was overjoyed and hurriedly said to his guard: "Get paper and pen!"

The guard quickly brought paper and pen from the tent, brought a low table and spread the paper and pen on the table.

Pei Zhounan picked up the pen and dipped it ink, and was about to write a command, but suddenly felt a chill on his back. It was obviously a hot weather, and there was a biting chill in his heart for some reason, just like... Heibai Wuchang stood behind him and blew a ghostly aura at him...

Pei Zhounan was shocked, and a drop of thick ink dripped on the snow-white paper, gradually becoming a large ball of black ink stains.

From being surrounded by merchants in the city just now, to being hurriedly out of the city and camp, to asking Shentian to send troops to suppress bandits, and to writing a transfer order at the desk, Pei Zhounan's mind has always been confused. He has never been criticized by thousands of men in his life, and thousands of people angrily scolded the treacherous and slandered. For a literati like Pei Zhounan, who is not a good person but has not done many bad things, it is a huge blow that he cannot bear in his life.

Under such a sudden and heavy blow, Pei Zhounan had lost his mind a little. All his words and deeds were subconscious actions, and he completely forgot the key to the process.

At this moment, Pei Zhounan's mind gradually became clear and he regained his mind. A very deadly and critical problem emerged.

As the Censor of the Supervisory Censor, does the seventh-rank civil servant have the power to mobilize the army?

This question is very important, it is not a trivial matter, it is related to whether Pei Zhounan's head can grow safely around his neck.

Logically speaking, Pei Zhounan's identity in the Anxi Protectorate was one level higher than Bian Lingcheng. Bian Lingcheng was a military supervisor, but Pei Zhounan could be called the "Imperial Commander". Although there is no such thing as the so-called Imperial Commander, his powers are the same.

The imperial envoy has the right to supervise the words and deeds of the commander of the first army, to prevent the commander from making strategic and tactical decisions that are not conducive to the court and the king in military terms, and to write memorials to impeach the commander.

However, the imperial envoy has no right to cross the commander and directly dispatch troops. This is a red line and must not be overruled, otherwise there will be suspicion of rebellion.

The issue of military power has been sensitive since ancient times. If an official who has no power to dispatch troops dares to transfer troops privately, it is basically equivalent to jumping into the gates of hell with his feet, and the whole village is waiting for a slum.

Pei Zhounan's eyelids twitched violently, and cold sweat fell down. His hand holding the pen trembled slightly. He suddenly threw the pen down like an electric shock, and his eyes stared at the paper and pen in front of him in horror.

Very dangerous! Almost lost!

Turning his head and looking at Chen Tian’s sincere smile, he looks hypocritical no matter how he looks.

Looking back on what Chen Tian said just now, it seemed to have some inducement, which induces him to write a document for transferring troops. If the document for transferring troops falls into Chen Tian's hands, Pei Zhounan's life will be explained. Even the Pei family and the Li family's century-old in-laws cannot save him. Once he sued him, what awaits him is the ruling that the head of the head will be put to the ground.

When Pei Zhounan thought of returning from the gate of hell before he knew it, he couldn't help but tremble all over, his face became paler, and the cold sweat on his back was soaked in his clothes.

"Why didn't Censor Pei write? You keep going." Chen Tian said sincerely: "Suppressing bandits is like putting out fires. Don't delay it for a moment. Censor Pei quickly sends the documents to the last general. The last general will go to prepare food, grass and drink water."

Pei Zhounan's mind became clearer and a sneer that he had survived the disaster appeared on his face.

At this moment, he finally realized a fact.

Today, Anxi is Gu Qing's Anxi. The army has only recognized Gu Qing from top to bottom. Gu Qing's prestige in the army is even higher than Gao Xianzhi at the time. Otherwise, the subordinates would not have been accomplices of Hu and helped Gu Qingkeng harm him.

Standing up, Pei Zhounan said slowly: "General Chen, the Anxi Army belongs to the court, and it does not have the surname Gu."

After saying that, Pei Zhounan turned around and left. Chen Tian called out anxiously behind him a few times. Pei Zhounan still left the camp without looking back.

Seeing Pei Zhounan's figure disappearing outside the gate of the camp, Chen Tian's anxious expression gradually calmed down and sighed regretfully.

It's only one step away, and he's going to write a military transfer document, a pity!

This scholar is really lucky and can retreat even after entering the gates of hell.

The seemingly ordinary scene just now was actually terrifying. From the spread of rumors last night to the siege of merchants today, the ultimate goal was to induce him to write a document for the transfer of troops. As long as the transfer of troops fell into the hands of the marquis, the life of the censor would almost belong to the underworld.

What a pity, he actually avoided a fatal pit.

Chen Tian sighed for a while, then said to the personal guards in angrily: "Prepare horses for me, I'll go find the marquis."

…………

On the Chi River, more than 100 miles south of Kucha City, dozens of personal guards have set up camps, and Gu Qing is sitting by the Chi River fishing.

Above his head was the parasol set up by Han Jie and other personal guards. Two personal guards were fanning hard behind him. The yellow sand around him reflected the sunlight, and the light made his eyes hurt.

Han Jie sat behind Gu Qing, yawned boredly, and said, "Mr. Marquis, you have been fishing here for two days, and you haven't caught any of them. I thought there was no fish in the Red River, or the Marquis' fishing skills are too poor..."

Gu Qing glanced at him and said, "Han Jie, I found that you are increasingly fond of temptations on the verge of committing death... Do you want me to satisfy you completely once? How about running back to Kucha City from here? It's only more than a hundred miles, you should be able to run before you die."

Han Jie hurriedly smiled: "Don't make trouble, you'll die. The last general means that since the Marquis said he was going out to hunt in a camp, we would look like hunting. After two days, the Censor Pei might be suspicious after returning."

Gu Qing curled his lips: "The reason for hunting is nonsense. Do you think he will believe it? I acted like this, and he pretended to believe what I did. The window paper in the officialdom was so magical. If we didn't break each other, we would still be in harmony."

Han Jie looked up at the sky and suddenly laughed: "Calling the time, Censor Pei should be surrounded by the merchants in the city at this moment, right? Haha, a mere seventh-rank censor dared to interfere in Anxi military affairs. Today, let him taste the consequences. The Marquis's clever plan, calmly told the censor to lose his position, and dig a big hole to wait for him."

Gu Qing's eyes were calm and calm, and he said lightly: "It may be right that he has lost his position in advance and retreat. The pit he dug...he may not necessarily jump down."

Han Jie said unwillingly: "What if he jumps?"
